You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 336: Acquisition of a toy company, Longteng and Youyi hacker battle, Wu Liang's flattery reaches new heights (2 in 1)

Monday, Taoyuan Township Villa.

When Lu Yu saw the sales of "The Fugitive Simulator" of more than 1200 million, he was stunned.

He rubbed his eyes and kept repeating to himself, "This is impossible."

However, when I reopened my eyes, the sales volume had not changed.

Even positive reviews from gaming media began to appear on the homepages of gaming portals.

He flipped through the pages and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Holy crap! What the hell is this Fugitive mode? Wasn't it supposed to be a boring city trip?"

He picked up the water cup and tried to drink it, but it fell on the table with a loud crash.
Now Lu Yu felt his heartbeat echoing throughout the room. He covered his chest and calmed down his confused mood.

There is no doubt that he was backstabbed by Huawu's project team again!

How did you turn a boring city slog game into a thrilling and exciting game of the desperate?

But at present, he cannot question or even stop "The Departed" from continuing to explore new ideas.
Because that would expose the existence of the system.

At present, Lu Yu needs to make every effort to ensure the completion of the two tasks of this cycle, so that the main game "Codename Shinkansen" and the acquired toy company can all operate smoothly and no more hit products can be produced!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu wondered, Xia Shangyu has been inspecting the acquisition project for a long time, hasn't she come back yet?
I just said a few words to her in my mind, and then the devil appeared.

Xia Shangyu, the headhunting director who had disappeared for a long time, returned to the Taoyuan Township villa.

She came to Lu Yu's workstation to report on her work.

Lu Yu teased, "Director Xia, you look pretty good lately. Where did you go on vacation?"

Xia Shangyu laughed awkwardly. "Mr. Lu, you're joking. How could I dare to take a vacation if I didn't find a suitable acquisition target for you?"

After that, she handed over a form.

"This is the company I've been investigating recently, and I think it's a good fit for our acquisition."

Lu Yu took a look at the table:
Xingjia Xiaohutuxian Toys Factory

Main product: Electric toy gun
Team characteristics:

"This is a team with an extremely casual outlook on life, a group of idealists whose easygoing attitude is a protest against the world.

They once vowed to one day change the toy industry and reshape the childhood of children all over the world!
But now, they can only wait to enter the bankruptcy liquidation process."

"That's it?"

Lu Yu looked over and over again, a little confused:

"From this introduction, I can't see any acquisition value for this company.

Moreover, they are idealists who are determined to change children's childhoods. I am afraid that if they are bought back by a group of passionate young people, won't they become involuntarily? "

Xia Shangyu continued to laugh:
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lu. I also took your request into consideration, so I decided to go to Xingjia City for vacation in person… Oh no, I mean, I inspected this company for a while.

This company is now in a completely dead state.

When employees go to work, they work in a confused manner and have no goals at all. The company's new toy projects are also not promoted in a regular manner. Usually, everyone launches a product on a whim without any market verification, which results in complete failure.

So now, you don't have to worry about them having any fanatical ideals to pursue. They have long been blunted by the continuous business failures. Now, they just want to clear their inventory and pay off the wages owed to their employees. "

After listening to it, Lu Yu gradually became interested.

Smoothed out? Seeing through the world and playing badly? Isn't this a top team!
He asked curiously:

"What kind of weird product did they make to get themselves into this state?"

Xia Shangyu reports:
The first one is called "Mihu Water Gun", which is a water gun toy driven by a built-in motor.
But after the children buy it, they have no way of predicting the strength and trajectory of the next shot.

The water sometimes gurgles weakly, sometimes blasts out high-pressure jets like crazy...

The second one is called "Random Pistol". The problem with this series of toys is the same.

The cooldown time of shooting and the number of BBs shot are all up to chance.

No one knows what the next bullet will do! The risk of accidental injury is greatly increased."

After hearing this, Lu Yu gradually became excited:

Awesome! What kind of eccentric person could design such an annoying toy?

There’s no way you can sell it if you do this!

If you acquire such a team, there is no need to worry about them making a hit product.

Isn't it just right to use this kind of hopeless team as the target for earning leisure points?

After making up his mind, Lu Yu waved his hand and said, "Okay, you and the company's business department go and buy this company."

"what?"

Xia Shangyu was stunned. She had thought that today was just a preliminary report and President Lu would have to go there to inspect it in person. She didn't expect that he would make the final decision directly?
"Mr. Lu, acquisition is no small matter. Would you like to go and take a look in person..."

"No, I trust you."

Lu Yu waved his hand.

In person? You must be joking!
Making such a weird toy and being scolded by parents on TV shows, hang up the bitch,
No one in their right mind would think that this company can make a comeback.

Now, he is going to be a real hands-off boss. With this time, he can enjoy himself and earn some points. Isn't it great?

"Sister Xia, you did an excellent job this time and made great contributions to the group. Your performance this month will be doubled!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Xia Shangyu was flattered, but also felt a little guilty.

The reason was simple. This time she went to Xingjia City mainly for eating, drinking and having fun. She only spent a little over a day on the investigation.

Because that broken company is barely hanging on by a thread, there is no need to continue investigating.

So, she spent the remaining month visiting various scenic spots including Nanhu, Wuzhen, Meihuazhou, Xitang, Jiulong Mountain, etc.

She reluctantly returned when she thought it was almost time to play.

This is also the reason why she looks so good. Anyone would look better if they didn't go to work for a month.

"Mr. Lu, after acquiring Xiaohutuxian Company, does the company's business strategy need to be adjusted?"

Lu Yu thought about it and realized that the surprise mission in this cycle required him to accumulate 35000 leisure points from the employees after acquiring the toy company. The time was tight and the task was heavy.

He ordered:
"First, immediately renovate Xiaohutuxian's office space and welfare system to meet Taoyuan Township standards. This branch office must receive all the same benefits as the head office.

Secondly, immediately expand the recruitment of Xiaohutuxian Company."

While taking notes, Xia Shangyu asked curiously, "Mr. Lu, you're hiring so many people. What new product are you going to develop?"

"No, just let them continue."

As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, the system popped up a passive resistance warning.

He sighed and immediately changed his words:

"Well, isn't 'Codename Shinkansen' a shooting game? Let's have this toy company produce some gun-shaped peripherals that match the game."

Anyway, with this company's attitude of doing things in a bad way, it is almost impossible for them to produce any outstanding products. They would be lucky if they could avoid any problems.

In this way, both tasks of this cycle are completed and internal circulation is successfully avoided.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu felt a little relieved.

very good!

This annoying game codenamed Shinkansen has already invested more than 2 million yuan.

If the direction is wrong, the more money you spend, the more likely the project will fail!

If the project fails, it will definitely dampen the enthusiasm of the small-time game developers in the company to develop games.

By then, it will be the era of lying down for all employees in the company, hehe!

……

Two days later, Wu Liang and Tang Changren, head of hardware R&D at Youyi, visited the Taoyuan Township headquarters.

They were received by Technical Director Chu Xiong and Niu Naitang, the head of the Zizai Studio Group.

Wu Liang got straight to the point:
"Director Chu, Miss Milk Tang, the last time I visited here, I had already agreed with Mr. Lu that our two companies would collaborate on technology, so I brought Tang Changren, the hardware manager for the "Youyi Paradise" game console, with me this time.

I'm here to get... Oh no, I mean, to learn your company's "Extra-Dimensional Tactile Rubber Coat Technology".

Of course, as part of our technical cooperation, we will also demonstrate our sincerity by providing some support for FPS game development. Please review the specific technical support documents."

Chuxiong took it and looked at it:
A Comprehensive Introduction to the Game Console Hardware of Youyi Park and Innovative Game Experience: An Introduction to FPS Game Development

Overview of Technical Trends in FPS Game Development

What is recoil? What is feel? An introduction to FPS physical feedback

Introduction to FPS Game Development Tools and Resources

What Wu Liang and his colleagues came up with were some superficial and very superficial things, either introductions or overviews, with absolutely no substance at all, and some of them were even things that could be found by searching on Baidu.

Chu Xiong shook his head slightly at Milk Candy.

Milk Candy said in a sweet and cute voice:

"Gentlemen, I know that you used a lot of cutting-edge shooting game technologies when developing Wild Survival: Redemption. Could you share some of them?

After all, what you want in exchange is the Extra-Dimensional Touch Rubber Suit, which is our core technology."

Wu Liang and Tang Changren looked at each other. The other party was not stupid. He knew that we were trading sesame seeds for watermelons.

Wu Liang secretly gave him a questioning look: "Would you like to provide us with some useful information?"

Tang Changren's mind raced: Originally, he was determined to follow Wu Liang to deceive people.
But Milk Candy sister is so cute, even cuter than all the sisters in her company,

Moreover, today she was wearing white stockings that were just the right degree of translucency, which was like food-grade cream ice cream.

Moreover, those little eyes with watery eyes have been stealing glances at me...

As a geek programmer, he doesn’t come into contact with many girls to begin with. Who can resist such a gentle offensive?

His face flushed and he coughed dryly: "I think, providing some of our technology is not impossible."

Wu Liang sneered in his heart: Brother Changren, you must have made the decision with your lower body!
He instantly interrupted Tang Changren and said, "How about this, Director Chu, first let us see the technical engineering documents of the extra-dimensional tactile belt. We will judge its authenticity and value, and then decide on the form of subsequent cooperation."

Chu Xiong thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

Afterwards, he took Wu Liang and others to the company's technical department office area.

suddenly!

A programmer came running over with an anxious look on his face:
"Director Chu, this is bad! Our company's R&D server is under attack from an unknown source!"

Chu Xiong's expression instantly became serious: "How is the attack going?"

"From our monitoring system, we can see that the source of the attack is a group of unknown IP addresses, and the attack method is very covert, bypassing our firewall."

Chu Xiong frowned: "Is there any way to trace the source of the attack?"

"We are currently trying, but the opponent's technical level is very high. Our defense system has been severely damaged and it is likely that we will not be able to stop their attack."

"We immediately strengthened our firewall and intrusion detection systems and notified all R&D personnel to temporarily halt all server-related work to prevent further data leaks."

When Wu Liang heard this, he muttered in his heart: Damn it, I was just about to get Taoyuan Township's core technology for free, where did this blind person come from and dare to snatch food from our mouths?
He immediately laughed and said:
"Don't panic, Director Chu. Our Youyi technical team is no pushover, especially Mr. Tang Changren, who has won top honors in international hacking competitions.

We can help you defend against this attack and save most of your game project files, but in exchange, you also need to provide the core technical documentation of the extra-dimensional tactile belt, how about it? "

Chu Xiong frowned.

Isn't this just freeloading if you round it up?
Who knows if these attackers were sent by you to perform a double act in front of me?
He was about to refuse when Melissa popped up a private chat window on Chuxiong's computer, which read:

"Master, you can promise him."

Although he didn't know what Melissa was up to, Chu Xiong decided to trust her once.

After Chu Xiong agreed, Tang Changren and his team began to launch a counterattack.

First, they deeply analyzed the characteristics and behavior patterns of the attack traffic to determine the possible attack methods and vulnerability exploitation methods used by the attacker.

Then, using self-developed software, we conducted in-depth monitoring and analysis of network traffic and discovered the attacker's whereabouts in a timely manner.

Tang Changren excitedly said, "I finally caught you. Everyone, pay attention! Start intrusion blocking, IP blocking, and packet filtering!"

After working hard for an afternoon, the enemy's attack was completely repelled.

Out of respect for Baisi Ice Cream, Tang Changren also provided additional assistance in strengthening the server firewall of Taoyuan Township.

In the evening, in the computer center of the Longteng Group building.

Jiang Lei and his team leaned back in their chairs with dejected expressions, breathing heavily and wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

His technical team tried their best, but the opponents were also very motivated. The two sides were evenly matched. In order to avoid mutual losses and expose his own IP address, Jiang Lei finally chose to give up.

"There are actually experts on the other side?"

Jiang Lei was frightened, but luckily he stopped at the last moment and did not reveal his address, otherwise the game project files of "Crossfire: Reverse War Heroes" might have been stolen by the other party.

Afterwards, Chu Xiong handed over the document of the extra-dimensional tactile belt to the other party as promised.

After Wu Liang and the others left, Chu Xiong sighed to Melissa on the computer, "I always feel like we're losing out."

Melissa smiled mysteriously: "It's okay, Master, I have my own plans."

……

After receiving the extra-dimensional tactile rubber suit, Wu Liang was full of confidence and immediately asked the technical team to conduct research and prepare to apply it to his own game.

This time, Wu Liang got the things from Taoyuan Township for free without paying any technical skills, and he was also praised by Shi Yi.

Wu Liang was feeling very proud and excited.

Fan Langtao, Lu Yu, Cai Yuhao, none of them can beat him. He is the new generation leader of China's gaming industry!
Afterwards, the "Game Life" column of the financial channel of Jianghai TV Station exclusively interviewed Shi Yi and Wu Liang.

In addition to promoting the game "Wilderness: Redemption", Wu Liang, as the project leader, was also the focus of the host's interview.

host:
"Mr. Wu, as a newcomer who has been working here for less than two years, you have been promoted so quickly. I guess you must have your own unique strengths, right?
What kind of changes do you think you have experienced in the past two years?"

Wu Liang looked at Shi Yi and flattered him at the right time:
"The process of learning from Mr. Shi is quite wonderful for me."

host:
"But since you are so young, aren't you afraid that someone will say, 'Look, you are here just to flatter me, and you are trying to cling to Mr. Shi's authority?

Some people in the company might even say you’re just there for show.”

Wu Liang:

“There are indeed people like this in the company, who say I’m a young and handsome guy in the workplace.

But what I really care about is other people's evaluation of my life.

I think joining Youyi is something I'm thinking about in the context of at least 20 to 30 years."

Host: "In recent years, Youyi has accommodated many new interns, but you are the only one who stayed at Youyi."

Shi Yi: "Let me interject here. Wu Liang is completely different from the other eliminated interns. They can't be put together. Wu Liang is not on the same level as them."

Wu Liang continued to flatter:
“When you work in a company, you are bound to make mistakes. The company will pay for your mistakes, and then there are people who will teach you how to do things.

That’s not all, someone will give you money.

Don’t you think this is a great deal?

Moreover, if you follow Mr. Shi, he will tell you all the experiences he has learned about the losses and tricks he has suffered.

When I was in college, I once fantasized about
If I could have that experience in my career where I could work alongside a top entrepreneur, even if I didn't do anything every day, just watching how he held meetings and listening to what he said and did every day, I would think it would be a very happy thing. "

This flattery made Shi Yi feel very comfortable.

The audience watching the live show complained:

"Isn't this show supposed to promote CrossFire? How did it become a one-man show for this guy named Wu Liang?"

"He's already a leader in the gaming industry at such a young age. He has the capital to show off."

host:
"I'm curious, as Mr. Shi's R&D assistant, how much do you earn a month?"

Wu Liang:

"Actually, to be honest, I haven't seen the pay slip Youyi gave me. I really haven't seen it, I don't know.

When I came to Youyi, I asked, Mr. Shi, could you give me an office closer to you so that I can report to you at any time?
The rest, I think, is not important.”

The barrage was madly swiping the screen at this time:

"That's the right amount of flattery."

“I used to scoff at it, but now I learn frame by frame!”
