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

As the old saying goes, if you wield your hoe well, there's no corner you can't dig down.

Moreover, if the section chief named Li Hua agrees to switch jobs, the value of other programmers will decrease significantly.

With Li Hua's abilities as head of the game department, and his status as an early key member and core programmer, setting up a new game development department for Dream Company should not be a problem.

That evening, Chen Dong received a call from the company's human resources department in his small apartment.

"What did you say? Someone poached one of our company's game programmers?"

Chen Dong asked back, somewhat bewildered.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, Li Weiguo, the head of the Game Department 3, reported to the Human Resources Department when the night shift started, and that's how I found out about it. Then I quickly reported it to you, Mr. Chen."

Li Li, who was on the other end of the phone, had already gone home from get off work and was currently on the sofa at home making this phone call with Chen Dong.

Honestly, when Chen Dong first heard these words, he was a little skeptical.

The domestic game industry hasn't really taken off yet; it will be at least several years, or even a decade, before it does.

I never expected that someone would try to poach my company's employees back in 96.

Chen Dong gave Chu Mengran, who was sitting on the sofa and looking over with a worried expression, a reassuring look.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Dong calmly asked, "Did Li Weiguo say which company poached our employees?"

Li Li thought for a moment and immediately replied, "Yes, I heard it's in our jurisdiction, a company called Dream Co., Ltd."

"This company."

Chen Dong had an impression of this company in his previous life because it was a very prestigious company in China.

Founded in 1984, its owner, Liu Chuanzhi, was once a bigwig in the electronic computer field at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Note: Chinese Academy of Sciences!

This is a place where many of the country's top scientists gather; in other words, the company's owner was a scientist in his previous life.

Liu Chuanzhi and ten colleagues jointly invested 100,000 yuan to establish the business.

Most people won't understand these things, but there's one thing they'll understand: computer-generated Chinese.

That's right, before this big shot came out, there were no Chinese-language computers in China, they were all in English!

During the company's development, Liu Chuanzhi and his ten partners established a dream company that successfully developed a Chinese character card that can translate English operating systems into Chinese, thus making computer operating systems understandable to Chinese people.

This greatly lowers the barrier for residents to use computers.

He can be considered the father of Chinese-style computers.

Chen Dong's previous life's Penguin and Pig Farm, as well as the 361 he founded in this life, all developed under the shade of this big shot.

Hearing that this big shot was trying to poach his own programmers, he was astonished that this big shot actually valued his company's programmers.

To be honest, Chen Dong felt a little excited.

However, he certainly couldn't let the other party poach him, otherwise Chen Dong felt that he might be even poorer in this life than in his previous life, and he could forget about beating up pig farms and stepping on penguins.

"Okay, I understand. Tomorrow is Saturday, I'll go over for a meeting."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I will inform my colleagues in advance this morning."

Hearing this, Chen Dong finally hung up the microphone.

"Dongzi, how could anyone be so despicable as to poach talent from your company?"

Chu Mengran pouted, looking somewhat angry.

Chen Dong smiled, reached out and touched Chu Mengran's face, and calmly replied, "As the saying goes, the business world is like a battlefield. It's perfectly normal for companies in the same industry to poach each other's talent."

"I just didn't expect that a company that only sells computers and doesn't make games would actually come to poach people."

Chen Dong was genuinely surprised. In his previous life, Dream Company didn't make computer games at all, so naturally they didn't think about guarding against the other party.

More importantly, they are thinking of taking action against future pig farms and penguins in advance, cutting off these two future rivals.

Chu Mengran asked worriedly, "What should we do next?"

"No need to do anything. I'll deal with whatever comes my way. Whatever tricks they use, I'll take them on."

Chen Dong remained very calm, showing no concern whatsoever; in fact, he almost laughed.

Poaching? Sure, go ahead and poach any ordinary programmers you want. We'll show the big shots that making Chinese games isn't so easy!

Are domestically produced games easy to make? The answer is, in the early stages, they're a pile of crap.

As you can see, Tencent rose to prominence by copying others, and later on, it relied on acquisitions. Its self-developed games are practically nonexistent.

On the one hand, pig farmers have developed a few good products, but they still rely more on foreign agents.

Aside from these few exceptions, back in the millennium, anyone who dared to make a domestically produced game was so badly discredited that even their own mother wouldn't recognize them.

Companies like Formosa Plastics Group (FIP) tend to flop every time they make a domestically produced game.

The practice of simply adopting existing technologies is not conducive to the development of single-player games.

Even someone as exceptional as Chen Dong, when making cartridge games and CD games, suffers greatly from his tendency to plagiarize.

"Yes, Dongzi, it's good that you have confidence. I was really worried to death just now."

Chu Mengran's worries immediately subsided, and she leaned on Chen Dong's shoulder.

The next morning, Chen Dong got up early to prepare breakfast, and after Chu Mengran got up, the two began to eat breakfast.

Chu Mengran would get up early to make breakfast from Monday to Friday, while Chen Dong would make breakfast on Saturday and Sunday because he had to go to the company.

After finishing their meal, Chen Dong stood at the door, put his arm around Chu Mengran's slender waist, and stroked her smooth, beautiful back beneath her clothes, bidding her farewell with tender affection.

I arrived at the company on my motorcycle at 8:40.

Chen Dong went straight to the fourth floor.

Chen Dong's arrival was noticed by Li Li, the HR manager who had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Chen."

Li Li immediately stepped forward and greeted them with a smile.

Chen Dong nodded and then looked around at the programmers sitting at their desks.

"Are there any other people taking leave today?"

Chen Dong looked around and noticed that two people were missing, so he asked them a question.

Li Li shook her head and replied, "No, there are only Zhang Ming, Wang Er, and Zhao Hong."

Chen Dong nodded, then walked to the blackboard.

When Chen Dong arrived, the programmers who had been working hard were already slacking off.

They knew perfectly well that someone from their own company was offering a high price to poach their employees.

Li Hua, the head of the game department, was feeling uneasy, afraid that his boss would find out that he was very tempted by the conditions he had made with Dream Company.

Chen Dong clapped his hands and shouted, "Everyone, please pause your work for a moment. I have a few words to say."

Upon hearing this, all 42 full-time employees and 20 interns present stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Chen Dong.

"Cough cough~"

"I know about the poaching incident."
