Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 469 373. I will form the head

…

After both parties sign the contract, all that's left is to go through the process.

After returning to Neon from the United States, Qing Zhiyuan sat on the plane and looked at the vast sea of ​​clouds outside the window, even feeling a little dazed.

Who would have thought?

The Northern Blizzard and Blizzard in the previous life actually came together again through pokeni in this strange way.

It's really a wonderful fate.

To use a wonderful metaphor, it is equivalent to pokeni being a big whale. After swallowing two small fish in the sea, not only did they not die, but they also thrived in the whale's belly.

Only this time it's the other way around.

In the previous life, Blizzard incorporated Condor as part of it, but this time Qing Zhiyuan purchased it in the name of a US subsidiary. After that, Blizzard will reorganize it into a studio under the US flag of Pokeni.

In the previous life, Blizzard was used to form the head, but this time, condor was used to form the head.

Can't help but make people smile.

Qing Zhiyuan is not only interested in the veterans of Blizzard, but also the two big IPs of Warcraft and StarCraft.

Others may not know it clearly, but for a time traveler like him, these two IPs have high brand value.

In this way, the acquisition of Blizzard saved Qing Zhiyuan a lot of trouble.

There is no need to reinvent the wheel, otherwise, he would have to find a way to create a Western fantasy IP that can rival Warcraft.

Secondly, the future World of Warcraft has already been developed. As long as the time is right, Qing Zhiyuan will include it in the development plan. You must know that World of Warcraft is a gold-swallowing beast in the online game industry. At its peak, the global annual income was as high as several thousand dollars. Ten billion dollars.

After Blizzard took it down, pokeni's empire territory became a big piece:

For now, the Warcraft series and the StarCraft series have made up for the lack of real-time strategy games in Pokeni. As a company known as Paradox, it is really unreasonable that you don't have a strategy game.

Although it is not a turn-based strategy game, it can still be regarded as a strategy game, right?

The art of command in StarCraft is not bad at all.

Moreover, pokeni now has FPS games like Frontier. In the future, DOTA can be extended from Blizzard, FPS competition can be extended from Frontier, and chicken fighting can also be derived...

The future of mainstream e-sports events will basically be wrapped up by pokeni.

In short, a beautiful tomorrow is as bright as the sunshine outside the window.

…

After returning to Neon, Qing Zhiyuan invited Hattori Hiroyuki out for dinner.

Sumo hot pot for two people to eat together.

The weather in January is actually just right for eating hot pot.

The atmosphere inside the store is lively and full of traditional Japanese style. The steaming hot pot makes people feel extremely comfortable.

The hot pot began to boil, and the two began to put various ingredients into the pot.

"You've been treating guests a lot lately." Hiroyuki Hattori said with a smile.

"No, no," Qing Zhiyuan responded, "The last time was last year, and I may start taking vacation after today."

"On vacation?" Hattori Hiroyuki raised his head in surprise.

Aren't you a workaholic? There is actually a time when you need to take a vacation?

"Well," Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "I have to spend time with my family."

Hattori Hiroyuki was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded, "Oh, my wife is about to give birth, right?"

Qing Zhiyuan nodded and took a sip of wine, "The due date is March, so she will be hospitalized starting next month. I am going to take a month's leave to stay with her in the hospital."

"Ah...that's right. It's actually quite hard." Hattori Hiroyuki nodded in agreement.

"It doesn't matter. The main reason is that her and my parents are gone, and everyone around me is taking care of her. Although I hired a more reliable girl, I feel that there are some things that others cannot take care of."

Qing Zhiyuan said happily while eating beef, "And it is really meaningful to be able to see my children being born in this last period of time.

So it’s not hard at all. "

Good guy, showing off here, right?

Hattori Hiroyuki cursed Qing Zhiyuan in his heart.

This guy is so jealous.

He is handsome, and he can marry such a good woman as Tsuda Nao, and eventually he can have twins.

All the luck in the world has been taken up by one person, right?

What else are you dissatisfied with? !

Hattori Hiroyuki took a deep breath and said silently:

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Madam."

"Ahem..." Qing Zhiyuan almost choked on his sake.

"It's really hard for her. The pressure on twins is not that great," Qing Zhiyuan picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then told Hiroyuki Hattori, "Nao seems to be quite calm these days. , actually very nervous.

I guess it was a little bit of prenatal anxiety. "

This is human nature. After all, giving birth is a major event in life, not to mention that the doctor had already explained the risks to Nao Tsuda before.

In addition to having an incision on the belly, a caesarean section may also face various risks.

And when the time came for general anesthesia, everything was beyond Nao Tsuda's control. She was actually a very insecure woman at heart, so things like this out of control were actually very scary for her.

Qing Zhiyuan only hopes that after taking leave, he can accompany her well, not only to relieve Tsuda Nao's anxiety, but at least to let her know that no matter what happens, Qing Zhiyuan will definitely be there.

Hattori Hiroyuki picked up a piece of beef, put it into the pot, and then watched it tumbling in the pot. He smiled and said: "You see, this is life. Sometimes we need to roll in a difficult environment like this piece of beef. It becomes more delicious.”

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan frowned, thinking what is this all about?

Not that much.

"It's far from being called a dilemma." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"No, no, I'm talking about the financial crisis that has occurred recently. It seems to have affected Neon. No one knows what it will be like in the future." Hattori Hiroyuki sighed deeply and pretended to be deep. Speaking of.

Qing Zhiyuan looked at the guy in front of him with some sympathy.

It seems that President Hattori may have suffered a lot during this time.

However, based on Qing Zhiyuan's understanding of him, Hattori Hiroyuki has a sales platform as big as Dongrun, and also has the support of the Yamada Foundation behind him, so it is not his turn to worry.

The two chatted for a while, and Hattori Hiroyuki recalled the past. It was really not easy to think about it.

In his limited life, he actually experienced the bursting of the economic bubble in 1990 and the Asian financial crisis that gradually developed this year.

What kind of luck is this?

However, in contrast, Hiroyuki Hattori feels more deeply about the economic bubble.

You must know that the bubble burst back then, but it was not as gentle as it is now.

Although the yen has been depreciating continuously during this period and assets have been shrinking, it has been an acceptable process.

And when the bubble bursts, just like its name, it disappears with a snap, and all illusions and dreams disappear in an instant.

Especially those who invested in real estate and stocks back then, many lost money.

Hattori Hiroyuki was in a similar situation back then. The share price of Torun Group plummeted, and its real estate assets were cut in half. He was forced to sell many high-quality assets. Fortunately, he still had a game sales chain store, so he was able to slowly climb back from the bottom.

Looking back, it was not just Aojiwon who needed them, but Hiroyuki Hattori also needed Aojiwon.

In other words, he needs guys like Qing Zhiyuan who can continuously produce high-quality games and help Dongrun make money.

So far, after experiencing the previous storms, Hattori Hiroyuki seems to feel that nothing is wrong.

As long as you can survive and hold on, life may go through ups and downs, but it will always get better in the end.

Life is like this, with ups and downs. Where there is always smooth sailing, there will naturally be no permanent rough waves.

…

"Well...if it looks like this, it really is."

Qing Zhiyuan sighed and nodded.

The damage caused by economic bubbles is actually much more intense and far-reaching than this financial crisis.

Think about the national carnival back then, when everyone lived a [high-quality] life of buying and selling. In the low-desire society after the bubble burst, young people no longer dare to make large purchases and are very cautious about having children...

This lethality directly led to Neon's thirty-year stagnation.

After the financial crisis has passed, the economy may recover again, but it will be much more difficult to get out of the predicament after the economic bubble burst.

From 1989 to now, Neon office workers have almost never received a salary increase.

Another round of currency depreciation is actually equivalent to a decrease in purchasing power.

However, this purchasing power is also relative. If domestic prices do not rise, residents will actually have little awareness of it.

The most perceptive ones are entrepreneurs like Qing Zhiyuan and Hattori Hiroyuki. Due to currency devaluation, the company's international purchasing power has declined.

"By the way, President Hattori, our new game this time is about future technology."

Qing Zhiyuan took out the prepared gifts.

This time it is to prepare for the release of "My Robot Girlfriend".

But Qing Zhiyuan said, is my reminder clear enough?

Don't say I haven't helped you.

"Future technology?" Hiroyuki Hattori asked doubtfully.

"Well, it's a story about a future robot girl." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "After the game is completed, the movie should be released in the second half of this year."

"Huh? Are you moving so fast?" Hattori Hiroyuki was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that Qing Zhiyuan had already planned the future. This guy had figured out the link between games and movies.

"In this case, it must be put on the shelves as soon as possible." Hiroyuki Hattori said.

"Well, then I'll leave the rest of the time to President Hattori."

"Hahaha, no problem."

…

Hattori Hiroyuki said, please leave it to me.

Obviously I have to leave it to the Trash Can Fairy.

After eating, Hattori Hiroyuki got into the car going home, then walked down to the old place and put "My Robot Girlfriend" into the trash can.

"Bless the Trash Can Fairy! I hope the game sells well!!!"

After a pause, Hattori Hiroyuki hesitated and said, "I hope the financial crisis will pass soon! Everything must get better quickly!"
