Chapter 002: Serious Business War Intelligence Collection
The next morning at 7 o'clock, Chen She woke up on time.
Although I seemed to have had a nightmare in a daze last night, the overall sleep quality was good and I quickly forgot the content of the dream.
The original owner must have been a strong and self-disciplined person with a very regular biological clock.
Chen She appreciated this very much.
He could feel that his memory was gradually returning and his physical condition was improving rapidly, which was obviously a good sign.
As the president, there is someone responsible for arranging Chen She’s three meals a day.
After breakfast, Chen She sat in front of the large silver-gray desk in the president's office, using the holographic projection equipment on the desk, taking every opportunity to check the company's internal information, wanting to learn more information.
Not long after, Zhao Zhen arrived on time.
Chen She got up and went to the Super Dream R&D Department with Zhao Zhen to save "Battle of Desperate Situation".
…
The Super Dream R&D department is located on the upper floors of the headquarters building. This location is enough to show the importance that the Chen Group attaches to this business.
Although Super Dream R&D and basic OEM are the two pillar industries of the Chen Group, it is obvious that there are differences in closeness.
Mewtwo can be seen as an advanced VR game that is connected to consciousness and has a realism of over 90%. Players will have a feeling of traveling through time while playing the game and can completely immerse their consciousness in the virtual world of the Mewtwo architecture.
So the full name of Superdream is Supersensory Dream, which means that it is not only an extremely real dream, but sometimes it can also give you special feelings beyond the normal senses.
Chen She had simply searched for some background information about Mewtwo on the Internet and understood why the Chen Group attached so much importance to the Mewtwo industry.
The reason is simple: in this world, Mewtwo is at the top of the entertainment industry, completely replacing the gaming, film, video and other industries.
The entertainment industry is similar to finance, high-end arms manufacturing, biological genetics, network technology, high-tech digital technology and other industries, all of which are top industries!
The emerging consortium, Long Night Entertainment Group, rose to prominence thanks to the Super Dream Industry and quickly became one of the top consortiums in the entire Old Land.
As for why the Mewtwo industry is so important, the chief Mewtwo producer of Long Night Entertainment Group once said a very famous saying.
"Mewtwo is the last spiritual harbor of mankind."
Of course, this is a relatively elegant way of saying it. There is also a simpler, rougher and more direct way of saying it: Mewtwo is the sickle that cuts the last crop of leeks!
For those poor people who have nothing, or even homeless people, their lives have lost their goals and there is no meaning in their struggle. Everything has become an illusion.
In this situation, Mewtwo is the only entertainment they can enjoy, and it is also the last bit of warmth and happiness they can get in this world before they die.
In other words, Mewtwo is one of the only two industries that can make the last penny in the pockets of the poor.
The other is the military industry.
Even if a person is extremely poor, Mewtwo can still find a way to earn other things from him, such as attention.
What's more, a highly realistic virtual reality game like Mewtwo can also be of certain help to the simulation training of corporate armies.
It is precisely because Mewtwo has such a huge influence that the top chaebols in the old land are so eager to enter the emerging Mewtwo industry and want to get a piece of the pie.
The Chen Group also chose Mewtwo as its focus.
Arriving at the R&D department of Mewtwo, Chen She instantly felt the warmth of home.
All of this is so similar to the R&D department of the gaming company in his previous life!
Although the technological level in this world is higher, the form of computers has changed, and there is a special editor for developing Mewtwo, but the overall working environment and process are actually similar.
This familiar feeling gave him, who was seeking stability, an inexplicable sense of security.
Zhao Zhen said, " Mr. Chen, would you like to experience this Mewtwo a little more before considering making changes?"
Chen She shook his head: "No need, I have experienced it many times."
"First, make some simple changes according to my requirements and see how the data changes."
"If the effect is not obvious, arrange for subsequent modifications."
"First, add the ability to recover health through breathing to the characters in Mewtwo, and greatly enhance the defensive capabilities of protective suits and helmets."
"Second, enlarge the size of the enemy target, especially the head."
"Third, the original in-app purchase price will be cut in half, and two new guns will be released as paid guns. The colors should be as cool as possible, and the performance should be significantly improved compared to the existing guns."
Zhao Zhen didn't ask any more questions and directed the employees in the R&D department to make modifications according to Chen She's requirements.
Yesterday afternoon and evening, Chen She had already used his expertise as a game testing team leader to run the entire Mewtwo many times.
Therefore, the revision suggestions he proposed were naturally well thought out, and his words were very firm.
In Chen She’s opinion, the biggest problem with this Mewtwo can be summed up in four words: “Kneeling in reality”!
The gameplay of "War of Despair" is relatively simple. Players only need to play the role of a soldier and defeat the endless enemies from all directions in the desolate snowy battlefield.
The environment of Mewtwo is extremely realistic. During the game, players can even feel the texture and weight of the gun in their hands through the gloves of their combat uniforms.
The constant sounds of explosions and aircraft flying by are far more realistic than Dolby Atmos.
Even some close-range explosions can make people's ears buzz and their hearts pound.
But the problem is that it is too real: Chen She played the game many times, and every time he was shot in the head by a bullet flying from nowhere before he even saw the enemy.
Although all Mewtwo have comprehensively weakened the player's negative emotions such as pain, this "die as soon as your head shows up" situation still makes for a poor gaming experience.
Considering the current difficulty of the game, I'm afraid only experienced special forces can survive.
Chen She was very suspicious whether the numerical balance of this game was made by mistake.
The changes made by Chen She are all aimed at this crux: appropriately weakening the authenticity of "War of Despair", increasing the playability and fun, and at the same time stimulating players' desire to consume.
As long as these changes can be completed smoothly, Chen She feels that this Mewtwo can make a comeback.
Of course, considering the relatively simple gameplay, it may not be particularly popular and the staying power will not be very strong, but it doesn’t matter, it should .
What's more, we can develop new versions and online gameplay in the future. As long as we get through the current difficulties, things will get better and better in the future.
The R&D staff carefully modified Mewtwo.
These changes are not complicated and can be completed quickly. However, even if they are completed, just one or two hours is not enough to see the changes. Even if you want to use the data changes in the same time period to estimate the revenue trend, you have to wait patiently for at least a few hours.
Zhao Zhen said, "Mr. Chen, there is one more thing I would like you to decide."
"This morning, Fujido Yuuki, a senior executive of the Fujido Group's Liming City branch, sent a communication request, wanting to visit our headquarters to discuss recent business issues between the two companies."
Chen She was stunned for a moment: "Tengtang Group? Didn't Zhang Sirui already go to negotiate with them?"
Zhao Zhen paused for a moment, as if considering his wording: "There is a lot of preparation work before the 'negotiation', which should not be completed yet."
"Moreover, the Fujido Group is not a monolithic entity. Different business leaders have different attitudes. Fujido Yuki and the Fujido Group's top management do not agree on the same opinion."
"This time he may be here to ease the conflict, or he may be here to gather intelligence."
" If you don't see it, the act itself is sending a message."
"Whether to see it or not is up to you to decide."
Chen She nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.
He was a little puzzled. Zhang Sirui had clearly gone to the "negotiation", so why did Fujido Yuki come to meet him?
But after hearing Zhao Zhen's explanation, it does make sense.
After thinking for a moment, Chen She made up his mind: "In that case, let's meet."
Zhao Zhen reminded him again: "Mr. Chen, we must also pay attention to the possibility of spying. Fujido Yuki is a shrewd person. Although this is the first time he meets you, he may deliberately ask some sensitive questions during the negotiation to test our attitude."
"By then, some of your micro-expressions might be captured by him."
"Of course, I will be present throughout the process and try to analyze the intelligence of the Fujido Group through his micro-expressions. And you can also try to mislead and confuse him."
“Please think twice about the risks and rewards involved.”
Chen She was speechless.
My goodness, is this a real business war? You are all psychology analysts, it's a waste of your talents to come here to discuss business.
After careful consideration, Chen She finally decided: "See you."
Logically speaking, given Chen She's calm personality, it would be better for him to avoid getting involved and avoid seeing her.
But Chen She had other considerations.
Zhao Zhen said that Fujido Yuki might have come to spy on intelligence and would obtain some information by capturing the micro-expressions on Chen She's face.
But Chen She thought, let him capture whatever he wants, since he knows nothing about the company's secrets anyway...
Even if Fujido Yuki is a master of micro-expression analysis, it is impossible for him to analyze something out of nothing, right?
Analyzing over and over again will only confuse yourself.
Moreover, Chen She could also use Zhao Zhen to spy on the direct competitor of the Chen Group.
Although Chen She was cautious by nature, he was never one to miss an opportunity.
If you miss the opportunity, it is not called stability, but cowardice and waiting for death.
If Chen She wants to be stable, he must obtain more information, and if he wants to obtain information, he cannot miss this important opportunity.
Zhao Zhen nodded: "Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll arrange it right away."
…
Afternoon, Chen Group headquarters, reception room.
After Chen She and Fujido Yuki exchanged hypocritical greetings, they sat down.
Chen She looked up and down at this senior executive of Fujido Group who seemed to be living a good life. He saw that Fujido Yuki was smiling sincerely, but Chen She still kept his vigilance to a maximum in his heart.
Both sides are very clear that the other party must have bad intentions!
Language does not become a barrier between the two people, because this world has extremely accurate translators.
Fujido Yuki didn't say too much, but went straight to the point.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that you were not feeling well recently and I am deeply sorry that I was unable to come to visit you. I am relieved to see that you are in good health."
"I came here this time to bring the friendship of Fujido Group."
"I know that the Chen Group is facing the difficulty of capital shortage. As long as you are willing to let Fujido Group invest in the Mewtwo business, not only will the capital shortage be alleviated, but you will also receive our strong support in the production and promotion of Mewtwo in the future..."
Chen She took a sip of tea silently, his face expressionless.
The Fujido Group obviously gave the Chen Group a blow first and then a sweet date. The ultimate goal is to invest in the Chaomeng business and gradually achieve control and annexation.
Fujido Yuki's words were full of concern in the greeting and threat in the concern, and his intention was actually very clear.
Want to get involved in the Chen Group's Super Dream business? This is a good plan.
Of course, Chen She would not let the other party completely control the rhythm, so he interrupted directly.
"Mr. Fujido, if you came all the way here just to say this, please go back."
"You should know the situation of our two companies better than I do."
"We in the Chen Group will not accept this."
The enthusiastic smile on Fujido Yuki's face gradually faded, and he said meaningfully: "Mr. Chen, as far as I know, your company's financial situation is very dangerous. Are you so sure that your company will turn the crisis around?"
Chen She smiled faintly: "Of course."
His calmness comes from his evaluation and thinking of known information, from the changes he made to Mewtwo, and from the unity and solidarity of the entire company.
It was obviously impossible for Fujido Yuki to know what Chen She was thinking, but he also saw Chen She's determination.
In doubt, he made a guess.
"Does your company want to use military means to start a war with us? I must remind you that this is definitely not a wise idea!"
Chen She was bewildered.
What does this have to do with anything?
What's the train of thought in Fujido Yuki's mind? Why would he think of starting a war?
It is too outrageous to use the word "war" to describe the two companies!
We are serious businessmen, not mountain bandits!
Besides, Chen She is calm by nature. Even if he has the security team of the Chen Group, how could he possibly take such a high-risk military adventure?
Chen She shook his head seriously: "This joke is not funny at all."
Fujido Yuki looked at Chen She's expression carefully, as if to confirm the truthfulness of his words.
After a moment, Fujido Yuki got an answer that reassured him.
He also knew that it was impossible for the two sides to reach an agreement, so he stood up and said, "In that case, I will take my leave first. I wish your company will be able to overcome the difficulties smoothly."
Chen She picked up the tea and said, "Uncle Zhao, please see the guest off."
Watching Fujido Yuki leave, Chen She estimated that Zhang Sirui's representations and negotiations would most likely not be successful.
The Chen Group and the Fujido Group are direct competitors in the OEM business. Not only that, the other party is also eyeing the Chen Group's Mewtwo Industry and will definitely want to take this opportunity to swallow up the Chen Group.
However, Chen She felt that this was harmless.
In his opinion, as long as they can keep the Mewtwo game "Desperate Struggle", it will be enough to save the Chen Group from danger.
…
On the Fujido Group's hovercraft, Fujido Yuki was still thinking about his meeting with Mr. Chen, trying hard to analyze some details from it.
Just then, his bracelet rang.
A holographic projection of a senior executive of Fujido Group appeared on the bracelet, his face full of anger: "The batch of supplies we were about to deliver to Liming City was looted!"
Fujido Yuki was surprised: "When?"
The senior executive on the call said, "We just got the news! Could it be the Chen Group that did it?"
Fujido Yuki immediately shook his head: "Impossible! I just met with the president of the Chen Group, and all his micro-expressions proved that he is a careful chess player, not a gambler who is desperate."
"The Chen Group has absolutely not planned any military action against us."
The senior executive on the call nodded and said, "Well, judging from the traces at the scene, it is possible that it was done by the rebels roaming the wilderness near Liming City. I don't think the Chen Group would be so bold."
"It seems to be a coincidence."
The two chatted briefly for a few more sentences and ended the call.
Fujido Yuki frowned slightly and looked out of the window of the hovercraft.
