Wealthy after rebirth

Chapter 187 Some people are happy and some are sad

On the last day of Golden Week, a big piece of news appeared on the Internet!
Jewel Music Company revealed that Jay Chou has become the spokesperson for the sea monster game development company wasteland survival game Datianchao, and will arrive at the Meiben Cultural Center in Shanghai on October [-]th to participate in the game conference!

As soon as this news was sent out, it spread among various channels with lightning speed, and the forwarding speed was very fast.

There was no need for Shi Yining to find the navy, Jay Chou's fans helped complete a series of promotional operations.

This time Survival in the Wasteland was completely out of the circle, which aroused wider attention.

At the same time, a tweet about "Rarely Appearing Anti-war Online Games" appeared on the Internet.

In this soft promotional article, there are many details of the wasteland survival game that players have not paid attention to, reflecting the cruelty after the war and the memories of the beautiful life before the war.

At the beginning, no one paid attention to this tweet, but with the impetus of some forces, it still spread on the Internet.

In the Internet age, even the smell of wine is afraid of deep alleys. Promotion is a very necessary means. After some operations, survival in the wasteland has once again attracted people's attention.

It was even named and praised by the cultural department, saying that games, as the ninth category of art recognized by contemporary young people, should bear certain social responsibilities!

The naming and commendation incident does not have a special feeling in the eyes of ordinary players and the masses, but some game manufacturers have a different taste.

Especially for the leader Yueyan Group, the game R&D department immediately started discussions on related content, and must add similar themes to the game, and actively respond to the call!

Large groups naturally have a keen sense of smell!
There is a lot of positive related content, but at the same time, negative news is also quietly breeding.

Some criticized Wasteland Survival for not reflecting the traditional Chinese culture, some were talking about the price of the game, with guesses ranging from more than 200 to more than 600, and some cloud players criticized the game's background for not being rich enough.

A shooting competitive game, how rich the background can be...

No matter how much, let's talk after spraying!

Boss Shi ignored this, and he didn't need to guess to know that it was his fellow merchants who were causing trouble.

The Internet is full of turmoil, and the Sea Monster Game Development Company, which has moved to a new office building, is still quite quiet.

"No agency, no acquisition, no copyright sale! Don't ask again!"

Shi Yining sat in the new boss's office and repeatedly emphasized to the marketing department.

The staff of the marketing department were sprayed by Boss Shi and left the boss's office in a hurry.

There are still three days left before the open beta of Survival in the Wasteland, and the marketing department receives many calls every day, all of which are related to game agency, company acquisition and copyright, hoping to further negotiate.

Among them, there are the most people who want to directly invest in the acquisition of the sea monster game development company!

Judging from the current valuation, the sea monster game development company's market value is even less than [-] million yuan, but some companies have already given extremely high quotations.

Among them, Yueyan Company is the most important. Yueyan's negotiators expressed their willingness to invest 80.00 million to acquire [-]% of the shares of the Sea Monster Game Development Company. All businesses will be divided according to the equity ratio!

The second is Riwu Company, whose price is [-] million, which is also many times higher than the valuation. Although the price is not as high as that offered by Yueyan Group, the terms are more favorable!

The game developed by a game development company has not yet been launched, and even the developed game has not been tested publicly. It is only in the optimization stage of the internal test, which has already attracted the favor of capital, and it has to be said to be very successful!
In other words, if Shi Yining is willing to nod now, he can package and sell the entire company, including Wasteland Survival, for at least [-] million!
And his total investment, not counting the publicity, used more than 2000 million yuan, even with the publicity, it was worth 8000 million!

In just three months, Shi Yining created a net profit of [-]% just by relying on one game that hadn't been released yet!

Regarding these acquisition news, Shi Yining asked the Marketing Department not to announce it to the public, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, there is no need for the Marketing Department to tell the outside world, all kinds of rumors are flying around.

Many employees even received calls from peers and friends. Some people inquired about the news through the internal personnel of the sea monster game development company, and the acquisition naturally spread within the company.

The employees felt excited and honored when they learned that their company's value had soared from tens of millions to hundreds of millions, and that the boss would not sell it.

Song Linkai was busy with the press conference of the new game in Shanghai. When he learned that someone had offered several hundred million yuan to buy the game Wasteland Survival, a feeling of unreality filled his heart.

He almost jumped into the Huangpu River to take a swim to see if it was a dream or a reality, but he owns five thousandths of the dividend shares!
However, the matter of dividends is still early, because Boss Shi rejected all acquisition proposals.

How could Shi Yining sell the company? Even if he sold the company, he would never sell the wasteland to survive. He wanted to buy it for hundreds of millions. Judging from the current popularity of the Internet, it is no different from a cheap sale!

After eight or nine days of live beta testing and inviting a professional evaluation team to conduct evaluation, he has made a very clear judgment. The current popularity of wasteland survival has reached the level of popularity at the beginning of the release of the previous game!

There are even faint signs of surpassing, and the future can be expected!
If you sell it at this time, you must be short of money...

Boss Shi is really cash-strapped now, and the publicity is like a bottomless pit. He has invested a lot of money, but no matter what, he can still get 2000 million in cash, and it is impossible to sell anything.

"Evans."

Shi Yining shouted.

A thin middle-aged man came to Shi Yining. He had blond hair and clear lines on his face. He was Jack Li's comrade, a retired special forces soldier from a certain British special forces.

According to the data, Evans is proficient in aircraft piloting, the installation and disassembly of firearms and explosives, and another ability that has some overlap with Boss Shi, that is hacking technology.

No one is perfect, and Evans is very capable in all aspects. Unfortunately, his Chinese is very average, and it is currently limited to the most basic communication, and some more esoteric vocabulary requires Jack to be the translator.

"boss."

Evans came to Shi Yining's side and nodded. His behavior was much more rigid than Jack Li's. Perhaps the last boss liked this style, and his words and deeds were orderly.

Shi Yining has been with this bodyguard brother for a few days. He is very dull, not as funny as Jack Li, and he handles things very efficiently. He is the type who gives him a task and then feels relieved.

"The server is under attack again, come and take a look."

With the popularity of Survival in the Wasteland, some people have begun to attack the game's server.

However, the attack method is very general, and the high-defense server and basic defense software used by Du Zhenhong can block it.

It's like a fly flying over while eating, buzzing, buzzing, although it doesn't bite and can't cause substantial damage, it's very annoying!
Boss Shi understands computer language, but he does not understand the logic of data attack and server defense. Fortunately, Evans is proficient in this area of ​​knowledge.

"Boss... this attack... we..."

Evans expressed his thoughts in broken Chinese.

Judging from the situation on the server side, this kind of attack is very common, but once the attack methods are strengthened in the future, it will be difficult for the server's defense system to respond effectively, and corresponding defense measures should be strengthened in advance.

"Okay, Jack Li, you will be the translator, let's edit a set of programs to strengthen the defense of the server!"

Shi Yining decided to take action personally.

Obviously, the programmers in the server room did not pay attention, because the attack power was still far from the upper limit of defense.

As the boss, Shi Yining has a long-term view. The game attracted attacks before it was launched for public beta. Obviously, it has become a thorn in the side of some people. Now it is very likely that it is a tentative attack, and the collection situation is to test the bottom line.

If you don't strengthen your defense at this time, you will most likely face a thunderous attack after the game is launched!
It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand the principles of logic. The bodyguard around him does. Evans puts forward the request and he writes the program code to implement the logic. It's a perfect cooperation!

Evans thought that the boss was just a game planner, even if he knew computer language, he would not be very proficient, but he never thought that his new boss was not only proficient in the language used in game development.

He is also proficient in all kinds of languages ​​​​that hackers often use, and his ability in computer languages ​​makes him feel inferior.

A powerful programmer plus a powerful hacker, with a language and a logical structure, if this combination has a crooked mind, no one knows how much damage it can cause to society...

Anyway, it would be difficult for an ordinary bank to stop the two of them.

Fortunately, Boss Shi's purpose is to add an indestructible barrier to his own server!

After an afternoon of busy work, the program was written, and Shi Yining sent it to the programmer in the server room via the Internet.

When they got the program, the computer room programmers were a little confused, but it was not their turn to worry about it and they could just run the program.

Programs are dead, but people are alive. If you want to use programs for effective defense, programmers need to know how to do it. This requires bodyguard Evans to give those programmers a good lecture...

"Jack, the friend you introduced is OK."

Shi Yining was very satisfied with Evans. It was very satisfying to have talented people at his disposal. He was beginning to understand the mentality of those big guys.

Li Jieke smiled and said, "Boss, as long as you think it's OK, I'm OK."

Here Shi Yining and Li Jieke are okay to come and go, but there is a group of people on the other side of the ocean who are not okay at all.

At Sony’s game R&D headquarters in the United States, a middle-aged man looked at the iMac with a puzzled face. A game was being broadcast live on the screen. In the lower right corner was a portrait of a beautiful woman staring at the screen seriously, explaining in Chinese.

The middle-aged uncle was unkempt and unkempt. He couldn't understand what the beautiful anchor was saying, but he could understand the content of the game!
This middle-aged uncle is none other than Brandon Green, the creative director of H2Z2, and the H2Z2 he joined Sony to develop is still in the final stage of internal testing and optimization.

But what frightened him was that on the other side of the Pacific, a game with a certain similarity to H2Z2 had actually appeared, which made him feel creepy.

The backgrounds of the two games are indeed different, but there are a lot of similarities in the map content. Military bases, churches, hospitals, etc., even the modeling is somewhat similar.

If only the names of the map scenes were similar, Brandon Green could accept it, but the same appearance made him feel terrible. These models are all his original works, and as expected, they should not have been leaked to the outside world.

Taking a step back, even if the information leaked out, the optimization level of the other party is obviously better than the H2Z2 developed by Sony!

After carefully watching the live broadcast of the game several times, Brandon only felt chills down his spine. The countless ideas in this game had clearly appeared in his mind.

Some of them were even recorded by him!

Looking at the game screens with a similar style, Brandon was a little skeptical about his life. The game in the live broadcast was clearly the optimized version of the game he was developing, or the ideal version in his mind!

This simply overturned his three views!

As a game planner, Brandon, an absolute insider, has a sharp vision. He can see that Survival Wasteland is definitely better than the game he is developing in terms of gameplay, content resources, and operations...

Especially in terms of operation, the operation of H2Z2 is quite hardcore. In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t want to simplify. It’s just that he still can’t do it after several optimizations. In the end, it can only be explained as hardcore...

But looking back at Wasteland Survival, the simple operation is easy to get started. Basically, as long as players with a certain foundation of PC games can play it...

He is sure that this is the game he wants to develop!

The feeling is so maddening that Brandon even suspects that someone stole his brain while he was sleeping and did it all!
Or the self in another dimension, traveled back to the present from the future, and developed the perfect game in his mind!

As expected of the general planner of a large-scale game, the brain hole is in place...

If Shi Yining knew what Brandon was thinking, he would probably give him a thumbs up, Bu Ge is better than 666!
Brandon Green watched the live broadcast, and then looked at the H2Z2 developed by the R&D department. He did not intend to give up. The H2Z2 that he and his team had been developing for nearly a year must be released, even if it failed completely, he would not hesitate!

Fighting or fleeing is not his style.

Therefore, Brandon found the general director of the game development project, shared the live broadcast of the game with his colleagues, shared it with the general director again, and told the current situation of the project.

The person in charge is totally dumbfounded...

There is no doubt that Brandon is fabricating the facts, because this kind of thing cannot be fabricated at all. He also knows game development very well, and he is very clear about the gap between Wasteland Survival and H2Z2!
Knowing that there are only three days left for Survival in the Wasteland to land on the stem platform, the chief person in charge almost exploded, and immediately adopted Brandon's decision to speed up the test and optimize it to go public before Survival in the Wasteland.
