Chapter 83: This game's logo is too abstract
That night.
Building 8, Binjiang No. 1.
Shen Miaomiao lay on the French-style sofa, her head leaning against the cushions, watching the TV series on the laser projection screen.
A long straw extended from the Coke can on the coffee table and stretched all the way into her mouth.
The little hands covered with potato chip crumbs kept reaching into the packaging bag, and the arms made mechanical feeding movements.
Click--click--
Gurgle——
"ha--"
After taking a sip of the carbonated drink, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but let out a sigh of joy:
“That’s what life is all about.”
Enjoying it!
bite--
Then I heard the sound of the small elevator on the side of the hall.
As the elevator door opened, a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair but handsome and tall walked out.
His steps were neither slow nor slow, and his demeanor was extraordinary.
"Why are you back? Aren't you going to stay in your doghouse today?"
The middle-aged man stepped out of the elevator, took off his coat and handed it to the nanny who came up to him, and asked.
Before he finished speaking, Shen Miaomiao sat up on the sofa, put her hands on the back of the sofa, and bared her white teeth at the middle-aged man:
"I missed you, old man."
good!
The middle-aged man who came up from the garage elevator was none other than Shen Miaomiao’s old father - Shen Wanlin!
"Miss me? Ha!"
Hearing this, Shen Wanlin snorted and laughed:
“No money.”
"Tsk! Dad! You...what you said...makes our relationship between father and daughter seem so strained!"
Seeing that Old Shen spoke so clearly, Shen Miaomiao became anxious. She jumped up from the sofa and ran to Old Shen barefoot.
While massaging his shoulders and back, she pushed him to the sofa attentively:
"Come on, come on, sit down first, sit down first and chat for a while."
The aunt beside her brought the brewed tea over. Shen Miaomiao took it and presented it to Shen Wanlin:
"Come, my dear father, have some tea."
Looking at the flattering smile on his daughter's face, Shen Wanlin was on high alert, and he pushed her away, politely refusing:
"Last time you handed me a pair of slippers and asked me for 38,000 yuan. This time you're going to ask me for six figures just to serve me a cup of tea, right?"
"No way!"
Shen Miaomiao shook her head repeatedly, and raised the teacup to indicate:
"It's not six figures, don't worry."
Shen Wanlin looked at Shen Miaomiao doubtfully, took the cup hesitantly, and slowly took a sip of the tea at just the right temperature.
Then, Shen Miaomiao immediately spoke:
"Eight figures, I want to borrow 10 million from you, I should be grateful to you, this is what you taught me before!"
However!
The next second, Shen Wanlin snorted coldly and put down the teacup:
"Look again. When did I become ungrateful?"
But see!
The tea in the cup didn't move at all, and the water level didn't move down at all!
Damn! He didn't drink at all!
Shen Miaomiao was shocked!
"dad!"
Shen Miaomiao looked at Shen Wanlin with eyes full of incredible shock:
"You even cheated on me?!"
"Why--"
Hearing this, Shen Wanlin waved his hand and corrected:
"It's called reciprocity."
"You...I..."
Shen Miaomiao was choked and stunned.
Seeing that her attempt to cheat failed, she pouted and pretended to be about to cry, mumbling to herself:
"I know I am not worthy of your approval. Other children inherit the family business at an early age, but I, a girl, will only cause more trouble to my father..."
"If that's the case, then I won't stay in this house any longer, so as not to bother you..."
After saying that, Shen Miaomiao sniffed, stood up and pretended to walk towards the door.
Then, Shen Wanlin's voice came from behind: "Close the door."
Shen Miaomiao: ...
"Dad, you are such a boring person!"
Shen Miaomiao stamped her feet, completely subdued by her stubborn old father, and could do nothing about it:
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to lend it to me, then I won't lend it to you, you stingy guy!"
Having said that, he walked dejectedly to the sofa, plopped down into it, crossed his legs, and began to gather his strength.
Seeing his daughter like this, Shen Wanlin couldn't help but laugh. He picked up the tea and took a sip:
"You are the big boss of the company now, how can you think of looking for me whenever you have something to do?"
"Besides, you only saw that I didn't give you money, don't you think about me helping you in other ways?"
"Help me?" Shen Miaomiao pouted: "If you really want to help me, just lend me 10 million. Nothing else matters to me."
"Nothing else matters..."
Looking at the angry Shen Miaomiao, Shen Wanlin nodded and spoke slowly:
"Okay, I'll lend you 10 million."
ah?!
Upon hearing this!
Shen Miaomiao suddenly became energetic, and her big eyes sparkled!
"real?"
"real,"
Shen Wanlin nodded, took out a stack of documents from the briefcase beside him, threw them on the coffee table, and then changed the subject:
"The premise is that you recruit new people. From now on, your company's game director, art director, and program director will all go to Guangyao Games."
"Come, let me hear what project you are going to do with the 10 million yuan."
After saying that.
Shen Wanlin hugged his shoulders, looking attentively, waiting to watch Shen Miaomiao's performance.
“Ah…ah?”
Shen Miaomiao was somewhat confused by her father's words.
Reaching out for the information on the coffee table, Shen Miaomiao frowned and looked at it.
Then, the expression froze on his face.
It turned out to be more than a dozen headhunting companies, with detailed investigation data on Lao Gu and the other two.
Even below, there are suggestions for negotiating positions and salary analysis.
It was obvious that someone was specifically targeting Golden Wind and wanted to poach Gu Sheng and the other two from her!
but!
It seemed that the plan had not yet been implemented, but it was all stopped by Old Shen with a wave of his hand!
Shen Miaomiao looked at the headhunting file in her hand, then looked at Old Shen, and thought of what her father had just asked her -
Now, even if I lend her 10 million, what can she do?
Is it the imaginative cat Leo?
It's a bizarre and hilarious Who is the Daddy?
Is it the time killer vampire survivor?
Is it phobia that leads the trend of psychological fear?
Or is it the road to survival to let the MFGA slogan resound throughout the gaming community?
She doesn't know.
Because all of these were done by Gu Sheng, and only he could do this.
For a moment, Shen Miaomiao was a little dazed.
She was just a little bit away from losing Lao Gu, the pillar of the family.
A wave of palpitations came over her, making her palms feel a little cold.
It’s not just because Gu Sheng is the person in charge of her system binding.
It seemed that mixed with this palpitation, there was also some feeling that she couldn't explain.
"My dear..."
Just as Shen Miaomiao was in a daze, Shen Wanlin's earnest voice rang out:
"Doing business is not playing house. You and your friends in the company are all of the same age and have the same aspirations. I am very pleased."
"However, the operation of a company cannot rely solely on like-minded people,"
"Ideals are necessary, but bread is also necessary."
"I've paid attention to Gu Sheng's speeches several times,"
"He is calm and intelligent, and has great conversation skills. Even with your eyes closed, you can tell that there are countless companies eyeing him now."
"Don't dare let him get away."
"otherwise……"
At this point, Shen Wanlin paused, looked at his daughter's thoughtful expression, and raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Your Golden Wind will be closed in less than three months. When the time comes, you will come back to inherit the family business, or you can marry the kid from Old Peng's family."
"You mean Uncle Peng's son?!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Miaomiao jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on, and leaned against the corner of the sofa, trembling:
"That young master of his family looks like he hasn't evolved completely yet. You might as well strangle me to death instead of letting me marry such a jerk!"
Looking at his daughter whose face was full of resistance, Shen Wanlin laughed:
"Then you can decide for yourself..."
After saying that, he drank the tea in the cup and stood up:
"Okay, it's getting late, take a rest, and don't come tomorrow."
"Ah?" Shen Miaomiao's mouth flattened again after hearing her father's 'heartless' words: "Are you chasing me away?"
Shen Wanlin waved his hand: "You want money as soon as you come back, stay away from me."
Shen Miaomiao: ...
"Dad, sometimes your words are really hurtful ..."
…
do what!
Ever since seeing off Jiang Yingcai and his group yesterday, Gu Sheng has been thinking about this problem.
To this end, he also studied a lot of historical materials on the Asian Esports Development Conference.
Since the first Asian Esports Development Conference was held twenty years ago, a total of five games have won the Crown Award.
They are the first "Death Fight", a fighting game released by Japan's TNK game company. It caused a sensation when it was first unveiled at the conference, and it was far ahead all the way and finally won the championship.
The second champion is "Fire Assault", which was released by Korea Zhenzhu Game Studio. It is a first-person FPS shooting game. FireWire borrowed the setting of "canceling the economic system and fixing firearms in backpacks" from this game.
The third crown award was won by League of Legends, which won the gold crown by dominating the development conference with the so-called "pioneering MOBA game type".
The fourth and fifth championships were won by two sports racing games, "Green Field" and "Global Formula", respectively. Both games have a certain degree of innovation in their respective gameplay.
Looking at the entire history of the Asian Esports Development Conference.
Every game that wins the championship has its own groundbreaking gameplay.
This pioneering work can be big or small, but it is indispensable.
Now, if Golden Wind wants to win the championship, innovation is naturally indispensable.
Whether it is shooting and fighting, or sports racing, its gameplay must be better than other games.
Only in this way can you stand out at the conference.
After all, their investment was only 50 million.
If we compete in terms of industrial technology, we will definitely not be able to beat those large-scale games that have invested hundreds of millions of dollars.
If you want to win, you have to work hard on your gameplay.
Today, the most famous and powerful brand of Golden Wind is the "second-generation FPS" that they pioneered.
Strike while the iron is hot is definitely their best choice.
but!
If it was just a second-generation FPS e-sports game, it would not seem to be that competitive when facing the works of outstanding designers across Asia.
In other words, if you want to increase your chances of winning, you need to make some gameplay innovations on the second-generation FPS.
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, as if he had caught an inspiration:
"The second generation of FPS... eSports... groundbreaking gameplay..."
While muttering, Gu Sheng wrote and drew on his meeting notebook.
Just thinking about it!
Knock knock knock——
Then I heard someone knocking on the office door.
"Come in."
Gu Sheng's thoughts were temporarily interrupted and he responded.
When the office door opened, Shen Miaomiao was seen like a little thief, holding a file bag and poking her head in through the crack of the door: "Lao Gu? Do you have time?"
"Yes... maybe not," Gu Sheng shrugged, not knowing what little Nezha was going to do next: "What do you want to say first?"
"Tsk,"
Shen Miaomiao smacked her lips somewhat unsatisfied:
"Why are you like my dad, so defensive? Good thing!"
"What good news?"
Inviting Shen Miaomiao to come in and sit down, Gu Sheng placed the meeting book on the table and looked at Little Nezha with interest:
"Did you succeed in begging for alms from your father?"
"Emmmmmm..."
Shen Miaomiao pondered for a moment:
“In a way, it was successful, but it was crooked.”
Gu Sheng was puzzled: "Where did it go wrong?"
Shen Miaomiao pointed at him and said, "It's on you."
"ah?!"
Gu Sheng shrank his neck in shock and covered his waist:
"No, I have shed blood for the Golden Wind, I have done meritorious services for the Golden Wind, you cannot be so generous as to give me your money!"
Shen Miaomiao rolled her eyes:
"Your kidney is worth 10 million?"
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao took out a document from the file bag in her hand and handed it to Gu Sheng:
"Give."
"What is it?" Gu Sheng took it and looked down.
"Profit Sharing Agreement,"
Shen Miaomiao said :
"Comrade Lao Shen did not beg for alms from me, but generously gave it to you, oh no, he begged for alms from each of you three."
"According to the current specifications of our company, at the end of this year, the company will set aside 10% of its net profit as a dividend bonus pool,"
"According to the ratio, I, you, Lu Bian and Da Jiang, four senior executives, will each receive one share."
"You and I each own 40%, and they each own 10%."
"Of course, this is only temporary,"
"As we grow bigger, the bonus pool will also expand, and the ratio will be adjusted accordingly."
That’s it!
Shen Miaomiao tilted her head towards Gu Sheng, her lips curled up, looking very proud, like a child seeking praise:
"Well, I'm nice enough, right?"
good!
Ever since Shen Wanlin told her yesterday about the poaching crisis that was quietly resolved!
Shen Miaomiao almost didn't sleep at all!
She suddenly realized that what she had said before, 'The Gu family can't live without you', was definitely not a joke.
If she left Gu Sheng, it would be like a bird losing its wings.
If Gu Sheng left her, it would be like a fish without a bicycle.
so!
In order to prevent the fish from leaving the bicycle, Shen Miaomiao decisively upgraded the bicycle!
Added a fish tank to the car frame!
Looking at Gu Sheng's surprised and delighted expression, Shen Miaomiao felt deeply satisfied.
Very good, it seems that the fish are very satisfied with the basket fish tank, which makes me feel relieved.
Thinking about it!
Shen Miaomiao nodded, but accidentally saw the meeting book that Gu Sheng had placed aside.
Turning her head left and right to look carefully, Shen Miaomiao looked puzzled:
"Old Gu, what is that thing you drew here?"
"Oh," Gu Sheng raised his head, "We will participate in the game LOGO of the Asian E-sports Development Conference."
"LOGO?"
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao opened her mouth in surprise:
“Isn’t this too abstract?”
"Which company would use a frying pan as a game logo???"
