The Era of Hard Work

In the conference room on the top floor of Lu's Catering Building, a high-level meeting has reached its final stage.

"I agree!"

Du Xiaobing had read the relevant plans a long time ago, and fully agreed with Gasgoo Logistics Group's acquisition of Debang Logistics, which can effectively speed up Gasgoo Logistics Group's expansion in the south.

Song Na said, "I agree."

Qiao Weiguo didn't speak, just nodded.

Li Wenyue, representing the Lu Family Village Group, said at this time: "Lu Family Village fully supports it."

Lu Dong looked at the executives attending the meeting on both sides of the long conference table, and said, "The plan to acquire Debang Logistics is officially approved!"

Of course, this is only the plan of Lu's Catering and Gasgoo Logistics Group, and has not yet formally contacted Debang Logistics.

The meeting ended here, and Zhao Jinghui heaved a sigh of relief.

After the meeting adjourned, the staff left separately, and the next step was to leave according to the relevant plan formulated by Zhao Jinghui.

This kind of plan can be carried out by Lu Dong alone, but it needs the cooperation of the upper and lower levels to do things, and it is best to get support.

Zhao Jinghui followed Du Xiaobing and Lu Dong into the office, and discussed specific work alone.

After the National Day holiday, Lao Du and Zhao Jinghui's team will go to Shanghai.

When Zhao Jinghui left, Du Xiaobing leaned on the sofa and said to Lu Dong, "What's the rules for me being the best man?"

"Nothing else." Lu Dong said simply: "Wen Yue and Wen Yue hold an apple and sit in the side car."

Du Xiaobing added: "You two got married too soon, Song Na has only graduated for a year."

Lu Dong smiled: "The sooner you get married, the sooner you complete the task."

Song Na treats her wholeheartedly, and he will naturally reciprocate wholeheartedly.

Du Xiaobing watched how Lu Dong got here all the way. Lu Dong and Song Na started a business together, working hard from the bottom and climbing up step by step, which was not easy.

This feeling is unmatched by others.

At this moment, Lu Dong changed the subject: "I'm going to check online at 8 o'clock in the afternoon. Let's go together?"

Lu's Catering used to have a 30% investment in 8:00 Online. Because of 8:00 Online's game development financing, Lu Dong, Du Xiaobing and others all decided to continue investing, and now they have obtained a controlling stake.

"It is said that the Internet represents the future." Du Xiaobing responded immediately: "It's just right, I'll go and see it too."

After lunch, the two went downstairs to the 8 o'clock online network technology company. Wang Dong immediately took the two into the development department, let the funders see the company's latest achievements, and at the same time told the controlling party that the money invested All worth it.

From its establishment to the present, 8 o'clock Online has undergone two transformations, from a pure Internet cafe chain company to a point card and game agency company, and now it has transformed into a game development and operation company.

Although the game developed is a standard counterfeit product, and the development team was recruited heavily by Wang Dong from Shanda, it does not prevent 8 o'clock Online from being ahead of most game companies in the country.

The development team from Shanda has technical guarantees, and Lu's Catering can provide sufficient financial support. From the first ten days of August, the online game opening plan of 8:00 Online officially started.

Shanda's "Age of Heroes" is already being tested, and the development team of "Age of Heroes" was dug up by 8 o'clock online, and the game is a game that combines the characteristics of "Legend" and "Age of Heroes".

Du Xiaobing asked from an investment point of view: "Mr. Wang, when will this game be launched and operated?"

Wang Dong naturally told the truth: "The test will start in the middle of next year at the earliest, and the official public test will not be until the second half of the year at the earliest. Our game is mainly free, and it will be available on the game store from the public test."

Lu Dong nodded: "The charging rhythm of props is well grasped, and we should not be too eager for quick success."

Wang Dong said with a smile: "Mr. Lu and Mr. Du don't worry, the company has been doing research on the market, and we still have an advantage in the market. There are many Internet cafes under our banner, and we have good relations with Internet cafe chain enterprises in other cities. very convenient."

Du Xiaobing doesn't play games, but he knows a little bit, so he asked: "The props in online games should be regarded as a piece of code in essence, right? Is there anyone willing to pay for the code?"

"There are many, and there are really many people who are willing to spend money." Wang Dong mainly opened Internet cafes in the past, so he knows these things very well: "For example, in the game "Legend", a verdict is expensive for two or three thousand, and that's it. There is also no market for the price, people who want to pay for it can’t buy it with money, and there are too many people who are willing to spend money on games and be the boss in the online world.”

Lu Dong took the words, and gave a simple example: "Old Du, you like cars. If you are financially able, would you buy the car you see?"

Du Xiaobing nodded: "Of course."

Lu Dong used to play games, and was the leader of many groups in the Wannian TBC era: "In the same way, there are those who like cars, and some who like to have fun in games."

The game has just entered the early stage of development. Lv Dong and Du Xiaobing, led by Wang Dong, had a brief visit and then went to the next meeting room.

In 1999, Wang Dong jumped out of the confines of the owner of the game hall and billiard hall in the county. He registered a company and started a real business.

It was difficult for his brother-in-law, who supported him before, to give him strong support, and even if he wanted to support him, he was powerless.

However, Wang Dong has rich social experience, which made the company completely rely on Lu's Catering Group.

This is the best choice out of no options. To develop and operate such a game, 8:00 Online alone cannot do it. Just the imaginary operating advertisements can drag down 8:00 Online’s capital chain.

The financing made him lose the controlling stake in Eight Online, but Lu's Catering hardly interferes with the normal operation of Eight Online.

Especially Lu Dong, Wang Dong met him at the end of Wei, and knew this person very well. He is a ruthless person, and he is also a very trustworthy person.

On the other hand, the founders of almost all companies will lose their controlling stake after starting a business to a certain stage.

This is a normal business phenomenon.

What's more, once the newly developed game is successful, his net worth and wealth will be far greater than what it is now, even five or ten times.

After chatting for a while in the conference room, Wang Dong fetched a lot of information about the new game project and reported to the two bosses of the group company.

This is of course a formulaic statement. Both Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing are very familiar with Wang Dong, and they communicate more in a normal chat style.

People respected him, and Wang Dong was also very winking, and immediately released a document and handed it to Lu Dong and Du Xiaobing.

Lu Dong glanced at it, and there were some names on it, which should be the alternate names of the game.

"The game has entered development, and there is no official name yet." Wang Dong quickly said: "The temporary code name is "X Game". The company has prepared some names. President Lu and President Du will take a look and help choose one or choose a name."

Du Xiaobing took a look and said to Lu Dong, "I don't know much about the game industry, so you should come."

Lu Dong did not choose a random name, but looked at the candidate name prepared by Wang Dong. After all, this is a game project promoted by Wang Dong alone. Even the development team was dug from Shanda himself. Choose from those prepared by Wang Dong.

"Battle", "Hot Blood National War", "The Age of War", "Chaotic World"...

At a glance, there are more than ten or twenty names.

Lu Dong could tell that Wang Dong was suffering from difficulty in naming and choosing.

Anyone who has played the game has a similar experience.

Lu Dong looked at the names one by one, and when he saw the third from the bottom, his eyes suddenly stopped.

The name... is interesting.

Lu Dong used to be addicted to online games. It was in the era of "World of Warcraft". He more or less remembered the names of popular online games at the same time.

The name looks very familiar - "Journey"!

Lu Dong couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Brother Wang, the name "Zhengtu" is good for you, what do you think?"

"It's not what I thought, it's the supervisor of the development team." Wang Dong reminded: "It's the one you saw last time."

Lu Dong understood that it was named after the person in charge of the development team hired by Shanda, and said: "I think this name is good, and it fits well with the background story of the game you mentioned."

Wang Dong pondered for a while: "I think it's okay, but the people in the company have given too many names, and it's too difficult for me to choose at the moment."

In fact, these game names were not chosen by him, but were initially selected after 8 o'clock online's internal collection.

When it was time to make a decision, Lu Dong would not hesitate: "Brother Wang, let's use "Zhengtu" as the name."

Wang Dong agreed: "Okay, this newly developed game is called "Zhengtu"!"

…………

In Shanghai, Shanda's headquarters, Chen Tianjiao was working in the office when his assistant knocked on the door and hurried in.

"Mr. Chen!" the assistant said, "Shi Yuzhu is here, and she is in the front lobby. I want to see you."

Chen Tianjiao confirmed: "The one who does melatonin?"

The assistant confirmed: "Yes, that's him!"

"Let's go! I'll go see him!" Chen Tianjiao immediately threw away the work at hand and went to meet Brother Zhuzi.

In the company's front hall, I saw that strange-looking business prodigy.

A man who can sell flour for gold!

Shi Yuzhu came to find Chen Tianjiao, not on a whim.

Well, part of it was on a whim. As a loyal player of the "Legend" game, Shi Yuzhu used his genius business acumen on the game "Legend", and quickly found a place where the game characters could make profits.

Because of the game structure, every time the characters in the legend change a map, there will be a freeze, and ordinary people can only bear it.

But in the eyes of someone like Shi Yuzhu who loves research, he quickly found out the bug, used Caton to copy the equipment, and made a lot of high-end equipment.

Then... the account was blocked by Shanda.

At that time, Yuzhu went to the GM and called the customer service, but no one solved it for him. After all, he did break the rules first.

Tried various methods but failed to achieve any results, Shi Yuzhu was annoyed, rushed to Shanda's headquarters, had a good talk with Chen Tianjiao, a junior in the business circle, and asked for her account back!

Of course, people like Shi Yuzhu have a purpose in everything they do, and it's the same when they come here this time.

Under the banner of unblocking the account, there are legitimate reasons and excuses, and it will be much more convenient to do something else.
