1991 Starting from the core

Su Yuanshan nodded slowly.

He slowly rotated the wine glass on his fingertips and looked down at the red wine. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly looked up and smiled.

"Brother, tell me, why am I working so hard? To make money? For academic achievements? For scientific and technological ideals? For the purpose of strengthening the country and enriching the people? The rise of China? To be famous throughout the ages?"

"Yes... I do have ideals. I have never denied that I am an idealist, but I have never denied that I am a secular person."

Gao Xiaodi laughed: "Mr. Shan, what you said is right. Who is not a common person walking in this world?"

Li Mingliu glanced at Gao Xiao for the first time and touched him with his elbow, and the latter shut his mouth in a wise manner.

Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "Yes, but everyone's dopamine stimulation method is different - except for intercourse - but can that work be used as a meal? Some people may be able to, but I can't. It's not that I am an ascetic, what? Saint, but I don’t care about him.”

"Now that you have money and status, you have to do something... to make your life's efforts worthwhile... right?"

"And I do something as I please - things that I don't like, things that I find unpleasant, things that other people can only tolerate... When I have the ability and can take care of it, why don't I do whatever I want? Fuck his mother?"

Su Yuanshan looked at Xi Xiaoding and then at everyone: "Do you think so?"

No one answered him, everyone just smiled and looked at him.

Li Mingliu snorted softly and raised his wine glass: "Today I will show you, who has any injustice?"

Bang! Li Yinan slapped the table: "I'm the boss! I'll do whatever it takes to offend people. I'm not afraid!"

Tian Yaoming swung his wine glass, glanced at the Chollima he had discovered with his own hands, and said cheerfully: "Who is afraid again?"

"Yes, who among us is afraid?" Qin Weimin smiled gently, looking at Su Yuanshan with unabashed admiration in his eyes - he is Su Yuanshan's senior brother, and he is Su Yuanshan's most solid supporter and backing.

Su Yuanshan turned to look at Liang Mengsong.

Liang Mengsong smiled slightly, feeling greatly in his heart, but also nodded with a smile: "Anti-academic FB, as a scientific research technician, should be supported unconditionally."

"Well, let's start with Yuanxin and Yuanxin's cooperation system, and establish an ethics committee first." Xi Xiaoding looked at everyone and laughed: "Whoever dares to get into trouble will be nailed to the pillar of shame."

"Then it's settled!"

Su Yuanshan wiped his face, chuckled, and picked up the wine glass: "Done!"

The big boss of the Science and Technology Committee ate the meal until late at night, and drank all the red wine Xi Xiaoding had collected as if it were beer, and then everyone dispersed still unsatisfied.

Su Yuanshan has been on the wine table a lot over the years, so except for his feet being a little wandering, his mind is extremely clear-headed - he is like this, let alone other people.

But Qin Weimin was still a little worried about him, so he accompanied him all the way.

The cold moonlight from the sky shone down, covering the artificial lake with a layer of silver ruggedness.

"Senior brother, it seems like this is our first time taking a walk, right?"

Su Yuanshan put his hands in his pockets, walked slowly on the gravel path with Qin Weimin.

"If you include sending you home when you were a child, the number of times would have been too many." Qin Weimin looked up at Su Yuanshan, who was half a head taller than him, smiled gently, reached out and patted his back gently: "I really haven't Notice, you are so much taller than me?"

“It’s time to catch up with the times and eat well while growing.”

"Well... when I was growing up, I was still in a group, and I would often wake up from hunger in the middle of the night. My mother would get me a cold red sweet potato that she had secretly hidden, break it into pieces and soak it in boiling water to eat. The taste... I still can't forget it." Qin Weimin looked at the sky with a trace of sadness on his face.

Su Yuanshan turned around. He knew that Qin Weimin's mother was diagnosed with cancer early last year, and it was lung cancer. Even if Qin Weimin sent her to the hospital in HK and spent tens of thousands of dollars every day, it would not help in the end. The old lady finally died at the beginning of this year. gone.

This really proves the saying, “A son wants to be raised but his parents don’t wait for him.”

"So today you said that you want to do something you want to do - really, if you want to do it, you must do it, otherwise it will be too late to regret it." Qin Weimin stood still and said to Su Yuanshan seriously: "We are a company. We have the skills and we are not afraid of those people.”

"Well, let's add a premise - as long as we are reasonable."

"Yes, when the teacher was still frustrated, he often told us that science is based on reason and logic..."

Hearing Qin Weimin mention his father, Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "Comrade Su has become a bit more humane after he became the principal."

"Haha, but if you want to judge the most unkind college principal, I'm afraid your dad would say that there is no one or the other, right?"

"That's true...but speaking of it, I really haven't told him about this matter. I don't know what his attitude is...but no matter what his attitude is, I will push this matter down!"

"The teacher will definitely support you, but he will remind you to pay attention to your methods. You are not afraid of offending others, but you must also pay attention to a strategy..."

"In fact, I have already thought about the strategy - as long as I stand upright, who can do anything to me? Do you really think everyone above is blind?"

"Well... that's true... when it comes to relationships, who can compare to you!"

"Hehe, it's all because of flattery..."

"..."

The two brothers chatted all the way back to the apartment under the moonlight.

Time flies, and it’s mid-December in a blink of an eye.

The provincial capital, in addition to previous international exhibitions, appeared in the eyes of the world for the first time.

Because the first WCG is about to be held.

After many rounds of "wrestling" by the WCG Committee, a total of seven competition events were finally determined. They are Quake III, StarCraft, Counter-Strike, Thunderbolt II, Meteor Butterfly Sword, FIFA 2001, and Age of Empires II.

On December 19, more than 670 players from 54 countries around the world will gather in the provincial capital to compete for world championships in these seven events.

Although it is a "non-business" game competition, in terms of the layout and aspirations of the organizers, they still hope to make it a formal sports competition. Therefore, in addition to Yuanxin's sponsorship fees, the WCG chairman committee also actively contacted major TV stations in an "attempt" to sell broadcast rights...

Well... Let's put it this way, the country is actually quite respectable - especially the provincial TV stations. After all, this is a global competition held in the provincial capital, in the new science and technology city, and it is extremely in line with the strategy and development model of the new science and technology city. . Therefore, the provincial capital TV station is very active...

But when CCTV Sports Channel entered the scene at the last minute, the WCG Chairman Committee "abandoned" the provincial TV station without hesitation...

The reason is simple. Between 1.3 billion viewers and 100 million viewers, you can make a choice with your toes.

As for the overseas broadcasting, the host committee talked hard and found various connections, and finally handed out the broadcasting rights half-gifted and half-sold... which can be considered a good start.

Anyway, for the first session, as long as the influence is established, are you worried that no one will pay for it in the subsequent sessions?

In other words, are you still afraid that Yuanxin, the "daddy" who is not short of money, will not continue to make money?

…

"Actually, everyone underestimates WCG."

In the office, Su Yuanshan and He Wei, who came to report on work, were chatting.

He Wei has lost weight in the past few months, and she has focused all her energy on promoting the Aolong processor. This time she came to Su Yuanshan to show Su Yuanshan the on-site posters and layout plans made by the marketing department - she knew that Su Yuanshan valued his gaming buddies, and it also reflected from the side that Su Yuanshan was very interested in the gaming industry. value.

As expected, Su Yuanshan admired He Wei's arrangement in the venue - instead of promoting the big corporate concept of Yuanxin, it was better to focus on promoting a single product.

"Is it because the game industry is in a period of vigorous development?" He Wei asked with a smile.

She knows a lot about the game industry these days. She knows that this industry is at the forefront in China, and even a bit radical. If there were not always some voices of resistance in China, I am afraid that the game industry would be even more popular in China.

"The development of the game industry is just one of them. In essence, capital needs to regain confidence in the IT industry." Su Yuanshan smiled and explained for his most powerful marketing expert: "Why did WCG choose to be held in December? Essentially, it’s just to raise the topic during the Christmas period and look at the feedback. If it can drive Internet sales on Christmas and New Year’s Day... then it means that the IT industry is gradually coming out of the cold winter."

"...This...is a bit complicated."

"Haha, it is said that one learns from one's mistakes. Wall Street has suffered such big losses in the past two years. It must be observed more now... The game industry happens to be closely related to the PC industry - you will know if you pay attention, this year PC shipments have actually increased a lot year-on-year. I don’t have specific data here, but a simple guess is that it is definitely not less than 80%, and may even double.”

"Yeah, almost." When it came to this, He Wei knew it immediately. She just thought for a moment and nodded: "If nothing else, in China alone, PC shipments have more than doubled."

"Yes, the increase in PC shipments means that the base of PC users and the Internet population will also increase. In addition, 3G networks have also entered a period of rapid deployment this year... It can be said that everything is moving towards spring. "

"But these major trends are always confusing and delayed...so capital urgently needs a specific reference. And now, the most suitable reference is WCG."

He Wei pursed her lips and looked at Su Yuanshan: "Will WCG be successful?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely succeed!"

——In order to successfully run WCG, not only Yuanxin fully supports it, but the main committee carefully manages it, and the entire Internet also pays great attention to this game.

Although the traditional media lacks interest, every Internet media has already sent people to squat in the provincial capital.

Everyone knows that as long as WCG is completed, it will be a shot in the arm for the IT industry.

Everyone is waiting for this shot...
