Chapter 004: Ways to Save Yourself
This special meeting of responsible persons is obviously completely different from the regular meetings.
In their daily lives, these rebel fighters strictly camouflage themselves according to the company's standards.
At the company's regular meetings, the responsible persons each spoke and discussed the company's business, and the superior-subordinate relationship was very clear.
But in this special meeting, everyone stopped pretending and resumed their identities as rebels!
As a result, the meeting seemed relatively casual, less formal, and more like a relationship between close comrades.
After everyone had a free discussion, Zhao Zhen glanced at Chen She and, realizing that the captain had no intention of speaking, he consciously steered the meeting back on track.
"Although we have achieved fruitful results this time, we cannot let victory go to our heads."
"We must clearly realize that we are still very weak and cannot break off relations with the big chaebols at the moment."
"I know many of my brothers are eager to fight with the big chaebols right now and don't want to wait even a day."
"However, we still need to work hard to earn more money and purchase more sophisticated weapons and equipment to have a chance of winning!"
"But there is no need to worry. The latest revenue trend of Desperate War has become increasingly clear. As long as we can continue this success, we will soon be able to accumulate enough military funds!"
"I promise everyone, once we make enough money, we will declare war on the big chaebols immediately!"
"Next, please continue to lead us in developing Mewtwo, work hard to modify "Desperate War" to make more money, and realize the great cause of reviving the resistance army as soon as possible!"
As soon as Zhao Zhen finished speaking, others responded.
"Yes, make more money! Buy more good guns!"
"Once we make enough money, the end of those damn chaebols will come!"
"We must kill Fujido first!"
"With the captain here, Mewtwo will definitely make a lot of money, there will be no problem!"
Chen She forced a polite smile.
On the surface he seems as steady as an old dog, but in reality he is extremely panicked inside.
I originally thought that my magical operation had saved "Battle of the End" and the Chen Group.
But now I realize that there is no point in saving it. This is clearly my own death knell!
How can this be money? It's all military expenses for the rebels!
The more money the Chen consortium makes, the stronger the resistance will be. Then they will use the money to buy guns and equipment to fight the consortium to the death.
Chen She knew very well that it was a pipe dream for the current resistance army to attack the big chaebols, because any big chaebol, whether in terms of financial resources or military strength, would crush the resistance army.
If you are not careful, the whole team will be wiped out!
Chen She quickly calmed down, stabilized his mentality, analyzed his situation, and found that there were three red lines in front of him.
First of all, he couldn't let the Chen Group continue to make money, because the more money they made, the stronger the rebels' desire for war would become, and they would be one step closer to committing suicide!
Secondly, he couldn't let the Chen Group really collapse. He had to maintain a minimum level of operation. Otherwise, once the company collapsed, the rebels might get excited and take risks and do many extreme actions.
In the end, he had to continue acting, neither revealing his identity as a rebel nor letting the rebels realize that there was something wrong with him as the captain.
Because once the rebels no longer trusted him, they might start a new group. Once abandoned by these people, Chen She would most likely die.
too difficult!
I originally thought that after traveling through time, the life would be easy. I could just be a plagiarist and lead the company to develop a few Super Dream games. Even if I couldn't dominate the gaming world in this world, at least I could make enough money and live a stable life.
But now I realize that this is the difficulty of hell!
Plagiarism game? Plagiarism!
The faster you copy, the more miserable your death!
As a person who just wants to be safe, Chen She is forced to dance on a tightrope, and he has to dance ballet!
There was laughter in the secret meeting room, but Chen She felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave and his heart was chilled.
However, crises always inspire people's potential.
Chen She's brain was working rapidly at this time, trying hard to find a glimmer of hope for his survival among the three red lines.
Seeing that Chen She hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhang Sirui asked, "Captain, you said last month that you would lead us to increase the company's profits tenfold within a year. The Super Dream game "Desperate War" is just the first step."
"Now can you tell me about your future plans?"
Chen She was about to say "I never said that", but when he heard the three words "last month", he understood.
This is what the original owner once said.
Obviously, great minds think alike. The original owner was very clear-headed and also believed that the resistance was too weak.
The company's profits must be increased tenfold within a year before it can barely compete.
Of course, if estimated by the market value of large conglomerates, the profits of the Chen Consortium would not increase tenfold, let alone a thousand times. After all, the market value of these large conglomerates is often trillions, not to mention that they will unite when strangling the rebels.
This is not a victory goal at all, it's clearly a countdown to death.
Chen She silently said sorry to the original owner in his heart.
Brother, I did this not only to save my own life, but also to prevent the brothers in the resistance army from making unnecessary sacrifices. Please don't blame me...
Chen She's goal was to slow down the speed at which the rebels made money as much as possible, to make these people's thoughts as consistent with his own as possible, to allow them to live safely and preserve their manpower, and then to make plans.
In this situation where the power disparity between the enemy and us is so huge, following your heart is the only correct choice.
In order to achieve this goal of survival, the company development plan that Chen She had to come up with naturally could not be a plan to make money by copying games.
Fortunately, he was able to think quickly and had a general idea.
After carefully considering his wording, Chen She tried to make his voice as low, firm, and persuasive as possible, and to make his sentences short enough.
This is all in an effort to create the illusion that "my solution is absolutely reliable."
"Next, we have three important things to do."
"First, set up a new company to be responsible for the Mewtwo business and avoid any connection with the Chen Consortium as much as possible."
"Second, develop a new Mewtwo."
"Third, we will build a Super Dream Experience Store."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone had confused expressions on their faces.
Zhang Sirui was even more surprised and said: "Ah?"
Facing Zhang Sirui's extremely confused eyes, Chen She looked back with an extremely firm look.
Anyway, as long as I am firm enough, you will start to doubt yourselves!
The two looked at each other, and Chen She complained silently in his heart. This Zhang Sirui was obviously the most active and trouble-making person in the resistance army. He was a true lawless outlaw. Why was he called "Zhang Sirui", such a fancy and confusing name?
In the previous meeting, Chen She sincerely thought that he was going to negotiate with the Fujido Group, but he didn't expect it to be a "gunfire negotiation" so hardcore.
It was normal for everyone to be surprised, because in their opinion, the three points raised by Chen She were very strange and even a little unreasonable.
Logically speaking, the data of "Battle of Despair" has improved significantly after the modification. Now it is time to continue to modify it on this basis to further enhance its profitability. This is the lowest-risk option.
Developing a new Mewtwo?
Success would be great, but the new Mewtwo requires huge investment. If it fails, won’t there be another financial crisis?
As for opening a new company and a super dream experience store, it is even more confusing.
Isn't this totally inconsistent with the captain's thoughtful and long-term character?
After letting this confused emotion ferment for a while, Chen She began to explain seriously.
"The name Chen's Consortium has no special features and is not very recognizable. Many civilian players have a natural aversion to consortiums, so this name is not only useless, but a deduction."
"In addition, the two businesses of basic foundry and Super Dream R&D should also be split up."
"Originally, the funds on both sides were mixed, and the financial situation was chaotic, which was not conducive to risk control."
"After the establishment of the new company, the Chen Group will only be responsible for the basic OEM business, and all expenses for the development of Mewtwo will be accounted for by the new company."
"The new company will strictly control costs, and the financial situation of the entire company will be clearer, which will help avoid the recurrence of this financial crisis."
“Although Desperate War is in good shape, the gameplay is too simple and there is not much room for improvement.”
"If we want to increase profits quickly, we must take an unconventional approach and try developing a new Mewtwo."
"As for the Super Dream Experience Store...it's simple. We need to get close to the players."
"At present, our Mewtwo design level is not very high, and we cannot work behind closed doors. By getting in close contact with players, we can more accurately find the shortcomings of our Mewtwo and improve the design level."
"Only by making a hit product like Mewtwo can our company's profits soar!"
Chen She’s reasons were very convincing. Everyone who had been confused just now suddenly showed expressions of enlightenment and nodded frequently.
As expected, you are worthy of being the captain, you have a far-sighted vision and what you said makes so much sense!
The basic foundry business has meager profits. If you want to overtake others and earn excess profits, there is only one way: Super Dream.
Misunderstanding resolved!
Zhao Zhen asked, "Captain, do you have any idea about the name of the new company, the content of the new Mewtwo, the location of the experience store, etc.?"
Chen She tried hard to maintain this feeling of "everything is under control" and replied: "No rush, take it one step at a time."
"Tomorrow we will have the regular meeting of the heads. I will finalize the new company and the new Mewtwo first."
"After that, we will slowly examine the location of the Super Dream Experience Store."
Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "Okay, Captain, we'll follow your instructions!"
…
After returning to the president's office, Chen She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The special meeting in the evening made him fall from heaven to hell in an instant.
How come this was supposed to be a simple script for a plagiarist? How did it turn into a hellish script for the leader of the rebel army?
Bad review!
For Chen She, who just wants to develop steadily, the current script is undoubtedly of top difficulty.
But fortunately, the most critical moment has passed.
It didn't take much effort to get the rebel leaders, including Zhao Zhen and Zhang Sirui, to agree to his plan, which meant there was always a way out.
As long as this plan can be smoothly implemented, Chen She feels that he can survive a little longer.
As long as you keep alive, there will be hope for many things!
Of course, the reasons he gave at the meeting were all misleading.
The reason why we proposed to open a new company, create a new super dream, and open an experience store is entirely to achieve the ultimate goal of "surviving"!
The purpose of opening a new company in a low-key manner is to conceal the truth as much as possible and achieve the effect of "escaping from the shell".
Those big chaebols have all focused their attention on the Chen Group. Even if they find out the relationship between the Chen Group and this new company, they will only think that it is an ordinary subsidiary and will not pay too much attention to it.
The reason for making a new Mewtwo is, of course, because Desperate Confrontation made so much money. If we continue to revise it, won’t we make even more money?
In the process of developing the new Mewtwo, not only can huge amounts of money be invested again, but Chen She can also deeply interfere with various designs and keep Mewtwo's profitability within a controllable range.
As for the experience store...it's purely for my own safety.
Once the resistance army was exposed, the Chen Group headquarters would be surrounded by the corporate army immediately. If I stayed at the headquarters, wouldn't I be trapped?
The headquarters' defenses are indeed strong, and it is no problem to stop ordinary attacks, but stopping the corporate army is absolutely a pipe dream.
Instead, it becomes very dangerous because the target is too large.
If he was in the experience store, when the corporate army surrounded the Chen Group headquarters, he could at least escape to the wilderness under the protection of Zhang Sirui and others.
Of course, Chen She did intend to use the experience store to interact more with people in this world.
Information is crucial in any situation.
If Chen She had stayed at the headquarters of the Chen Group and learned about the world through the Internet, he would definitely have serious deficiencies in obtaining information.
No matter where he goes in the future, he must first step out of his own CEO's office and the Chen Group headquarters, get in touch with the world, and grasp all kinds of real information as much as possible.
"However, the crisis has not yet been resolved."
"Tonight, I must seize the time to learn about the current status , come up with a Mewtwo that doesn't make money, and convince everyone to agree to this plan at tomorrow's meeting..."
Chen She sat in front of his silver-gray desk, lost in thought.
After much contemplation, he realized for the first time that it was not easy to make a game that was 100% unprofitable and fool everyone...
