Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

After Chu Yu was discharged from the hospital, Chen Dong and Chu Mengran spent a day with her in Nanjiang County before taking a train to Shenzhen and then back to Beiping.

Chu Mengran originally wanted to spend two more days with her mother and let Chen Dong return to Beiping first.

But Chu Yu's mother disagreed, insisting that she was fine, that one day of rest was enough, and that she wanted to go back to work.

She used to be a housewife, but due to various reasons, she became the manager of one of the three general stores under Chen Guilan's management.

Chu Yu was very motivated and wanted to do her best to repay Chen Dong and Chen Guilan.

That's why he fell into a coma due to hypoglycemia.

Left with no other choice, Chu Mengran had to return to Beiping with Chen Dong.

After returning home, I rested for half a day in my small apartment before heading to Tsinghua University for my studies as usual.

On Saturday, Chen Dong arrived at 361 Company.

In the company's small but compact meeting room.

Chen Dong sat at the head of the conference table, listening intently to the reports from his employees.

On the walls of the conference room were several yellowed industry data charts and displays of the company's past performance.

These things on the wall were put up during last year's meeting.

Chen Dong rarely uses this meeting room; he mostly lets his employees use it to receive people from other companies.

That way, we won't waste the space.

There weren't many people at the meeting; the entire 361° company consisted of only two floors and a little over eighty people.

It's worth mentioning that 361 has rented another floor in the office building where it is located, so now all three floors (3, 4, and 5) are occupied by 361.

However, we may need to look for other places later.

Because only the sixth floor and above have been rented by other companies.

The lease period was longer than the establishment time of Chen Dong's 361 Company.

The first to report was the employee in charge of marketing.

He stood in front of the projector, holding a thick stack of documents, and said with a slightly serious expression, "President Chen, we are currently facing a not very optimistic situation."

"Although we have released many cartridge games, they are all of the same type in the simulation management market."

"Whether in the domestic market or in island nations, there has been a trend of declining profits."

"Market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and simulation management cartridge games from other companies in the island nation are emerging one after another, making it increasingly difficult to predict players' tastes."

Upon hearing this report, Chen Dong frowned slightly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table as he fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

This problem had occurred before, and Chen Dong had already assigned a programming team to develop other types of cartridge games.

However, this resulted in very slow development because they hadn't learned from Kairosoft's experience.

With only four people and nothing to touch to cross the river, it would be impossible to finish in two months.

And now, it's been four months of development already.

This was something Chen Dong hadn't anticipated.

Then, the employee changed the subject, his worry disappearing and replaced by a smile, and continued, "But Mr. Chen, there's also good news."

"As we have recently joined forces with our partners and relevant departments to intensify our crackdown on piracy, our revenue from the legitimate market in major cassette tape sales cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Tianjin has increased significantly."

"After being scammed by piracy, many players have started to actively choose to buy legitimate games, which is a great opportunity for us to grow."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Chen Dong's eyes.

What are the harms of pirated cartridge games?

It exists and is extremely deadly to players.

That's saving the game.

Yes! It's the save function.

361's official cartridge games are all well-made and come with an extra chip.

This means that even pirates with average technical skills will fail at the archive point.

The piracy techniques they possess are based on the technology of a single chip. Writing data to an additional chip increases the wear and tear on the original archive area.

Furthermore, since it was already a pirated product manufactured with substandard materials for profit, it was doomed even more.

Chen Dong nodded slightly and said, "We must continue to strongly support the fight against piracy. While cracking down on it, we must also pay close attention to the development and market in other cities."

As for the issue of seizing market share, that's a marketing matter, not a programmer's problem. They don't have the brains for that; all they do is painstakingly write code.

As for marketing operations... let alone that, there wasn't even a planning team. The music and art designers were only hired out of necessity.

It can be said that the entire program department relied on Chen Dong to figure things out in Cairo, resulting in its abnormal development.

Then, the employee in charge of factory production stood up and reported: "President Chen, our company's Xingyao Electronics factory in Shenzhen has successfully produced the first batch of chips."

"Moreover, the equipment and manpower for producing cartridges are all ready, and we can start producing cartridge games on our own at any time."

"This means that we have autonomy in the product supply chain, and while costs are controlled, we are no longer held back by local manufacturers in Beiping."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong smiled with satisfaction, clapped his hands, and laughed, "Well done! This is an important milestone in our company's development. With our own production capacity, we can better control product quality and production cycles."

As soon as Chen Dong finished speaking, Li Hua, the head of the game section of the programming department, stood up.

Li Hua cleared his throat and said, "President Chen, our programming department has made preparations as you instructed."

“I have freed up a programming team so that they can complete the next task in the best condition. I have even given them a whole day off.”

Chen Dong was very pleased to hear this and said to Li Hua with a smile, "Old Li did a good job, the response was quick. But just one day of rest is not enough."

Chen Dong gave Li Hua a meaningful look. In this life, as the CEO of a software company, how could he not know that the programmers under his command were treated like cattle and horses?

So Chen Dong continued, "Let's give the members of this programming team another day off so they can relax and come back to work on the new program tomorrow."

Li Hua looked puzzled and asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, is it a new game? We've been researching the popular game genres on the market lately."

Unexpectedly, Chen Dong smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not a game, it's a medical management system."

Upon hearing this, Li Hua was completely stunned, his eyes widening. A medical management system? We game developers are going to do this?
