Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Liu Wei looked at the young girl in front of him and was a little stunned for a moment.

However, as a serious two-dimensional otaku, he has long been completely immune to three-dimensional girls. It's just a little strange. The game is over, why are there still people looking for him?

You're not a fan of their games, are you?

Liu Wei fantasized about this in his mind, and then he heard Yan Chijie, who had found him, say politely: "Hello, I am the secretary of Mr. Xu Xingxu of Qunxing Company, and this is the business card of our CEO."

With that said, Yan Chijiu handed the business card to Liu Wei, indicating that he could take a look.

Liu Wei looked down curiously. He was not impressed by the name of Qunxing Company at first, but when he saw the identity clearly written on it as "Chief Planner of Fruit Assassin Game", he suddenly showed a surprised expression.

Fruit Assassin, this game can be said to have exploded in discussion in the gaming circle recently.

Especially now that it has sold almost four million copies in North America, it makes the current Mihuyou Studio jealous and envious.

Many investment companies and game companies have recently been inquiring about the news about Tianshu Studio behind Fruit Assassin. Liu Wei did not expect that he would be exposed to Qunxing Company in the Entrepreneurship Competition.

Thinking of Fruit Assassin's current revenue capability, Liu Wei's face froze, and hope suddenly arose in his heart.

But when he thought about the attitudes of the investors he had contacted before, Liu Wei suddenly became gloomy and didn't have much hope for this contact.

Yan Chijuan continued: "Mr. Xu was also watching from the audience just now. He thought your project was quite interesting, but he has something to do for a while, so he sent me over to convey a few words to Mr. Liu Wei."

"Mr. Xu has also been looking for suitable game projects to invest in recently, but he said that most teams just want to make money and do some boring skin-cutting games with no content at all."

"Although your products are niche two-dimensional themes, Mr. Xu can hear your enthusiasm for game production itself. If you make games with this spirit, at least the quality and content will be more sincere."

"However, it seems that you didn't have time to introduce the current game project properly during the competition. Mr. Xu is a little regretful about this."

"So he asked me to come over and ask, if you are still short of investment, maybe you can take the time to make a summary of the current game project planning and development level, and then come to Qunxing Company to communicate with Mr. Xu in person."

"If Mr. Xu feels that your game is worth investing in, we may be able to reach a friendly cooperation."

Liu Wei looked down at the business card in his hand and listened to what Yan Chijiu said. For some reason, he felt a little warm inside.

Just listening to what the secretary said, Mr. Xu probably didn’t want them to make a reskinned mobile game like Three Kingdoms or martial arts?

Liu Wei almost thought he heard wrongly.

"Mr. Liu Wei, what do you think?" Yan Chiju asked after he finished speaking.

Liu Wei was brought back from his stunned state by Yan Chijie, and said quickly: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your appreciation. The current game was not introduced in the competition just now. Firstly, due to the time limit of the competition, we have to consider the problem of the two-dimensional audience, so

We must take the time to clearly explain the characteristics of the target group of otakus.”

"Secondly, because the new game is only halfway through development, there is still room for debate and adjustment on some things within our own team, which would be very cumbersome to introduce, so the content of the competition is only abstractly fixed on the concept of a cute girl game."

"If Mr. Xu is interested, I will go back immediately to prepare the information and try to give you a reply within three days... no, tomorrow! I will reply tomorrow!"

"What do you think?"

"It doesn't matter, investment matters are not rushed." Yan Chijiu smiled slightly and said politely, "The company's contact information is on the business card. When Mr. Liu Wei is ready, just call the number above to make an appointment.

"

"Okay!" After Liu Wei heard this answer, his heart that had been slowly falling silent seemed to be beating violently again, which made him impatient. "Then I will go back to find my companions immediately.

Farewell."

"Okay, please walk slowly." Yan Chijuan waved to Liu Wei and watched the graduate student, who was several years older than him, dash away. Only when Liu Wei's back could no longer be seen, Yan Chijuan finally relaxed.

He took a breath and touched his arm, feeling that his body was shaking slightly due to tension.

At this time, Xu Xingcai slowly came from the darkness, stood behind Yan Chijuan, put his hands on her shoulders, kneaded her and relaxed her with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, my

young secretary."

Yan Chijuan blushed a little when Xu Xing said that. She changed her polite and rational state when talking to Liu Wei before, and felt that her body was softened by Xu Xing's massage.

"How was the conversation with him? How did he react?"

"I seem quite happy." Yan Chijiu squinted his eyes and enjoyed the boss's massage comfortably. He raised his head and thought about it, "I said I would try to sort out the information tomorrow and come to the company to make an appointment to meet you."

"Well done." Xu Xing raised a hand and rubbed Yan Chijuan's head as a reward, "I still have to get to know a few people, so stay with me."

After saying that, Xu Xing let go of his hand and walked towards the partners of several investment companies and foundations, as well as the executives of several other websites and platforms.

You can never have too few connections.

With Xu Xing's current net worth and the status of Qunxing Company, although it is not enough for the other party to take a high look, he can at least simply leave his contact information.

Especially the domestic version of Fruit Assassin is about to be launched soon. The App Store of Pineapple Company is easy to find, but for Android and other channels, Xu Xing has to find the corresponding companies to discuss cooperation.

Among the people here today, there may be connections that can be useful.

…

On the other side, Liu Wei was sweating profusely and rushed back to the 20-square-meter small office provided to their studio by the Min Da Entrepreneurship Center for free. The seven team members are now crowded in this small office and immersed in work.

Among them, the four core founders and three companions who joined one after another were gathered together at this moment, with their eyes focused on Liu Wei alone.

"How to say?"

Cai Haoyu, one of the three founders of Mihuyou and holding more than half of the studio's shares, looked at Liu Wei and asked with a heavy heart.

"Third place, a bonus of 20,000 yuan, and free use of a 50-square-meter office for half a year." Liu Wei rubbed the back of his head, a little embarrassed, "The people from Taishan Angel Investment Foundation talked to me, and they still don't agree with us doing two-dimensional things.

, I refused directly."

When Cai Haoyu heard this, he sighed, but he did not blame Liu Wei. He only said: "It's good to refuse. You are not a member of the same profession. Even if you invest in it, it will only become a constraint for the studio."

"Then what should we do now?" Luo Yuhao, another founder, adjusted his glasses, "With the current funds and a bonus of 20,000 yuan, we can last for another two months at most."

Cai Haoyu fell silent. After a moment, he said with difficulty: "The salary of the four of us who hold shares will be reduced to one thousand. Let's endure it for a while. At least we must complete the collapse of the campus, otherwise I will not be willing to accept it."

Upon hearing this proposal, Liu Wei was the first to nod: "Okay."

Luo Yuhao didn't hesitate much, nodded and agreed: "In this case, it should be able to last two more months."

But soon, everyone’s attention fell on the fourth founder, Jin Zhidong.

Jin Zhidong looked very silent, as if he was in a daze. After realizing that everyone was looking at him, he nodded subconsciously: "Don't think about me, I can do it."

Cai Haoyu thought Jin Zhidong was just worried about Mihuyou's future development, so he patted him on the shoulder and raised his fist in a stern manner: "When Honkai is born, everything will be reversed."

The rest of the team also raised their fists and collided with Cai Haoyu's fist in mid-air. Only Jin Zhidong was half a beat slower. After his fist touched, he also looked weak. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

But when everyone withdrew their fists, Liu Wei chuckled and said quietly: "But I have good news here."

"Um?"

"Qunxing Company is the Tianshu Studio that produced Fruit Assassin. Their boss came to see me today." Liu Wei repeated what Yan Chijiu said before, "...I think this time there is a better chance.

After I sort out the information on the Honkai Campus today, I will go talk to him tomorrow."

"Then why didn't you say anything just now?" Luo Yuhao was a little speechless.

"Isn't it better to suppress your desire first?" Liu Wei scratched his head and said innocently, "Does this make you feel much better?"

"You big-headed ghost!" Cai Haoyu jumped directly on Liu Wei, grabbed his neck and shouted, "You dare to play tricks on us? You are very arrogant."

"That's right, you're looking for a beating." Luo Yuhao cheered from the side.

Everyone got into a quarrel. After a while, after venting, a few people returned to a calm state.

"Cai Haoyu and I have to be responsible for promoting development, and we won't go tomorrow." Luo Yuhao leaned on the edge of the table, tapped his fingers on the table, and said after thinking, "Jin Zhidong, you are helping Liu Wei sort out the information today. Think about it.

What should I say? I will go with Liu Wei tomorrow so that we can take care of each other."

Jin Zhidong's reaction was slow for a few seconds, then he came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Okay."

"OK." Cai Haoyu clapped his hands and signaled everyone to disperse, "Let's continue working. Liu Wei will be responsible for the investment. You can go talk tomorrow and find out what Mr. Xu's intentions are."

"I understand." Liu Wei was full of energy at this time and immediately pulled Jin Zhidong to sit in front of the computer. While preparing materials and making PPT, he discussed how to give a presentation that would be more beneficial to Mr. Xu's understanding.

…

In the evening, after Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan had a meal outside, they wandered into an electric car store and picked out a decent electric car.

Xu Xing sat on the front seat of the electric car, holding a helmet in his hand. He raised his chin towards Yan Chijuan and said, "Come on up. I will reluctantly lead you once today, and you will have to lead me from now on."

Yan Chijuan took small steps, her cheeks were a little red, and when she saw that there was only a narrow seat left behind Xu Xing, she raised her feet, and her petite body bounced a few times, almost not falling.

Fortunately, she quickly held Xu Xing's shoulders to prevent her body from losing balance.

Xu Xing: "...How about you drive it?"

"No, no, no." Yan Chijue waved his hands repeatedly, and after readjusting his posture, he finally raised one of his legs high and hung it on the back seat of the electric car.

Then he put his foot on the ground hard, Yan Chiju pulled Xu Xing's shoulder, and finally moved his small buttocks in the air to the back seat of the electric car. His two feet were hanging in the air on both sides, even if his toes were pointed down,

There is still a gap of several centimeters from the ground.

"Sit down?" Xu Xing put a helmet in Yan Chijuan's arms and put it on himself, "Put on the helmet, let's set off."

"Yeah." Yan Chijuan put on his helmet conscientiously, and timidly grabbed the hem of Xu Xing's waist with his two small hands, wanting to press it against Xu Xing's back, but he didn't dare, and there was still a little distance between them.

"Boss, let's go."

"OK." Xu Xing turned the handle of the car and accelerated suddenly, and the electric car drove onto the road.

But because the acceleration was too strong, Yan Chijuan subconsciously exclaimed and pressed his entire body against Xu Xing's back, leaving no space at all.

Feeling the dull squeezing feeling in his chest, Yan Chijuan blushed and tilted his head to lean on Xu Xing's back. He wanted to step back a little, but he was afraid of bumping into him again later, so he had to stick close to him.

Walk slowly.

The two of them were riding electric bikes, speeding along the road.

Mingda University and Yaoguang Entrepreneurship Park are not far apart. The subway is only two stops away, and it only takes about ten minutes by electric bike.

However, during this period of time, Yan Chijuan slowly got used to the feeling of holding Xu Xing's back. Even the small hand that was originally holding Xu Xing's waist secretly tried to test it, and gradually turned into a hug.

Every time her little hand reached forward, Yan Chiju secretly glanced at the rearview mirror of the electric car. Seeing that Xu Xing's face had no expression and he was just driving seriously, she became bolder and whispered again.

Hug me tighter.

Until her two small hands successfully connected on Xu Xing's belly, Yan Chijuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned her whole body on Xu Xing's back, enjoying the feeling of being closely dependent on Xu Xing.

When the electric car entered the entrepreneurial park, Xu Xing didn't go to the parking lot or garage first. Instead, he sent Yan Chiju to the door of the building in the east park. After putting her down, he said: "You go up first, I'll park the car."

.”

After saying that, Xu Xing rode his electric bike. After parking in the parking lot, he adjusted his pants and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Xu Niannian often jumped on his back before, which gave him a normal instinctive reaction, he didn't expect that Yan Chijuan's impact was greater. Just now while riding an electric bicycle, his gun almost went off.

This innocent little boy like him really can't stand this kind of excitement...

Coming to the studio from the parking lot, Xu Xing found Yan Chijuan who had come up before, and the two immediately entered the testing phase of the domestic version of Fruit Assassin.

Judging from the current progress, Xu Xing estimates that the domestic version of Fruit Assassin will not be available on shelves until mid-September, taking into account the negotiations with major distributors on sharing and promotion.

However... Xu Xing took out the [Secret Realm Escape Plan] from the drawer while he was testing it, and touched his chin and lost himself in thought.

Tomorrow is Monday, and the interview results of these two days have been sent to those who passed the interview. If everything goes well, most people should be able to work tomorrow.

Among them, I gave twenty offers to programmers, and I don’t know how many will be willing to come in the end.

When everyone arrives tomorrow, Xu Xing can seamlessly connect the development process of Secret Escape.

While Xu Xing was thinking about these questions, his phone suddenly vibrated.

I picked up the phone and looked at it, and found that it was my uncle Xu Yi.

"Hello, uncle?"

"I just sent you a document. Are you free now? You can take a look." Xu Yi said on the phone.

"Oh, I'm in the office, wait for me to take a look." Xu Xing held the phone in one hand and the mouse in the other, and found the file sent by Xu Yi in the mailbox.

Xu Yi on the other end of the phone continued: "I sorted out the personnel lists of several departments in my company this afternoon and selected some people who are relatively capable, but have been excluded and suppressed within or between departments. You

You can take a look first."

"Okay, uncle, don't hang up yet." Xu Xing clicked on the file and saw that it detailed various internal organizations such as a certain game department, search department, e-commerce department, communications department, etc. Each department had about two people.

There are three candidates, and as many as seven or eight.

At a glance, there are probably twenty or thirty people on the list who are clearly being excluded and suppressed.

This made Xu Xing a little stunned: "There are too many people, right? Uncle, I'm afraid you will be complained about because of your poaching efforts."

"It's normal for Internet companies to poach people from each other. Where do you think this is going?" Xu Yi is a veteran in this industry. In the past three years alone, he has been transferred to several departments within a certain degree. To these colleagues,

They are all quite familiar, "This time it's just an internal list of my company."

"There are many people I know in the company I worked for before. If you are still short of people, I can also help you inquire."

"But it's been a while, and not all of the colleagues I met before are still there. It might take some time to get in touch."

"It's not urgent." Xu Xing said, "Let's pluck a few hairs from a certain person first. As for other companies, it won't be too late to discuss it when you come to our side."

"Okay." Xu Yi said, "Then you take a look first and identify a few targets so that I can contact them in private."

"Let me take a look." Xu Xing quickly browsed through the information provided by Xu Yi. Soon, he focused on several of the people and named them one by one.

Xu Yi also quickly wrote it down, and finally asked curiously: "You are a game developer, why did the game department choose just one? The search department has so many connections with this department with a certain degree of hi?"

"Uncle, have you forgotten what we talked about that night?"

"..."

When Xu Yi was reminded by him, he immediately fell silent.

After a while, he said: "A company as big as a certain degree has not even started to develop social software for hi. Are you sure you want to put in the effort?"

Xu Xing was silent for a few seconds after listening to what Xu Yi said, and then said slowly: "After these two years, if you want to try again, you will have no chance."
