This game is awesome

"All, all good. But there is one more thing," Ai Li seemed a little disappointed and said, "We at Panshi are going to send a learning team to Fanxing in the form of labor dispatch to jointly develop a new game. The specific profit sharing ratio can be discussed after the game project is established. Before that, Panshi will be responsible for all the team's salaries."

"no problem."

After the two parties reached an agreement on the matter, Gu Qingshi asked Li Xiaomeng to print out the contract on the spot for both parties to compare.

...........

In the end, Rewi Alley left with a feeling of grievance.

Her visit to Fanxing this time, the so-called abandonment of publicity and promotion of "Lexington" and non-interference in the track were just extras, the sugar coating on the shells fired at Fanxing.

The biggest task is the "anti-cheating system"!

But unexpectedly, Gu Qingshi licked the sugar coating cleanly and sent the shell back with a smile!

As soon as he got into the taxi to the airport, Ai Li couldn't help but vent in the car.

"Asshole! Asshole! Asshole! That girl, I gave her so many favorable conditions! But she told me to just pretend she never said anything!"

"David! Take the girl who commissioned the killer to my house and I'm going to teach her a lesson!"

"Ms. Chairman, the security here is very good. The killers you mentioned only exist in movies..."

"David, you're done, David! I'm going to fire you!"

David next to him was resting with his eyes closed, too lazy to pay attention to the young lady making unreasonable demands.

Chapter 148 [Wrath of the Development Department]

But after Ai Li left, Gu Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief.

So cool!

Eat the sugar coating and throw away the shells. Taizu is not deceiving me!

Gu Qingshi asked Li Xiaomeng to take the contract with her, and the two returned to the office.

As soon as he entered the office, Li Xiaomeng sat on the sofa with ease and asked curiously, "Boss, are we going to have a feud with Panshi?"

"Of course. Panshi doesn't want to give up the anti-cheating market, and neither do we. We will definitely have to compete in the business field in the future to see who is better."

Gu Qingshi stretched out on the chair and smiled, "But we are still in the honeymoon period now, and the contract has just been signed. Panshi should attach great importance to the domestic FPS market, otherwise they would not come to us to sign the contract as if they were facing a great enemy."

"Now there will be a solid throne in the blue ocean of fast-paced tactical competitive FPS in China."

Li Xiaomeng tore open a bag of potato chips, chewed them, and felt confused.

Is it possible that there are no domestic manufacturers eyeing this market?

How is it that after all these years, apart from the half-dead "Last Action" by Xinghuo Entertainment, I haven't seen any company wanting to make this kind of FPS game?

If it was a few years ago, it could still be explained, after all, anti-war sentiment and political correctness were fierce, and the domestic market was indeed small. But this year, political correctness was criticized, and "Battlefield" became famous overnight...

Why haven't any manufacturers announced plans to make this type of game?

That’s not true!

Spark Entertainment is developing an FPS game that imitates Assault this year. When Fanxing held a meeting in May this year, Gu Qingshi specifically mentioned this game.

But it seems that there has been no news since then, and it has disappeared from the Internet...

But why is there no publicity at all? This is not normal!

Li Xiaomeng instinctively felt something was wrong, and even slowed down the speed at which he ate potato chips. He raised his hand and asked:

"Boss, did Xinghuo Entertainment reveal the news of making an FPS this year?"

Gu Qingshi was playing games with the controller in her hand when she suddenly heard Li Xiaomeng's question. Her fingers that were rubbing the controller slowed down a beat.

"It seems so, but there is no news about the second half of this year. Wait, I'll pause the game for a moment."

Gu Qingshi immediately paused the game, switched to the web page and went to the browser to look for her browsing history.

After browsing a mysterious website, Gu Qingshi found a report from NGI.

The news that Spark Entertainment is developing a new game came from this report. Since it is a report from NGI, its credibility is beyond doubt.

But why did this game fail?

Gu Qingshi searched the game they named "Codename: Call For" on the browser again, but found nothing.

This is getting weird.

Although Xinghuo is not a big company, it is also a well-known and established FPS developer. It has developed entertainment games for the military. Later, "Last Action" has also been on the domestic shooting game rankings for many years.

Logically speaking, this game shouldn't be silent at all...

Keeping their own games secret? Good wine needs to be promoted even if it is not well known! How could Xinghuo Entertainment not understand such a simple truth?

As for canceling the game project, that is not necessarily true.

After that, there has been no news about the launch of new game projects by Spark. Judging from the half-dead state of "Last Action", it is impossible for Spark not to develop new works unless the boss of Spark has run away.

Even the small amount of money from "The Reddest Action" is not enough to cover the manpower cost of Spark...

Somehow, Gu Qingshi felt that something was not right.

Something is very wrong.

Suddenly, her attention was attracted by a piece of news in her web search results.

The protagonist in this news is not Xinghuo Entertainment, but Gulang Science and Technology.

"Li Muzhi, the new chairman of Gulang Technology, delivered a speech at the Yangcheng Developer Conference, indicating that he may reach a deeper cooperation with Spark Entertainment in the future"

This news was released on May 5st, Labor Day.

The NGI report was published on May 5, nearly a week late.

Gulang Science and Technology, Spark Entertainment...

These two guys got together.

Gu Qingshi opened her mouth slightly, her big eyes filled with surprise, and she suddenly understood something.

——It may not be Xinghuo but Gulang who will make “Codename: Call For”?

But why did Gu Lang keep this news secret and not release it?

.........

.........

Gu Qingshi was full of doubts and wanted to figure out what Gu Lang was up to.

At the same time, employees in Development Department 2 were sighing.

The pre-order volume of "Baldur's Gate" has met the target, but for some reason, a bunch of people came out recently and said that Fanxing hired internet trolls to brag about itself, causing the score of "Baldur's Gate" to drop by 0.2.

The studio also issued a clarification statement, clearly stating that it did not hire internet trolls to give "deliberate" positive reviews.

But some people can't help but be jealous of the double success of "Baldur's Gate" in terms of pre-order volume and word of mouth.

Some people have even posted on major gaming forums and social media platforms, suspecting that Baldur's Gate might be a super scam set up by Fanxing.

First, they release a half-finished game that is decent enough, then hire a bunch of internet trolls to buy positive reviews to hype the game up to the sky and attract a large number of players to pre-order it.

But in fact, this game is just a semi-finished product that looks good. The release date of the game may be postponed again and again, and even if it is really released, it will be a piece of shit.

As for why do such a thing that will damage your reputation?

What they said is also reasonable:

The first round of investment in the Linlang Project burned through 3500 million, and the second round of investment was even larger. It was very likely that Fanxing’s funding chain had been broken, so Gu Qingshi hurriedly took out the unfinished "Baldur's Gate" to commit "scam."

Seeing these comments, the development department employees who have devoted their whole heart to development were furious.

I work hard every day to create content and fix bugs, and I treat Baldur's Gate like my daughter! How dare you slander me like this?

What quality of Baldur's Gate don't we know?

We don’t know what the money raised from pre-order crowdfunding is used for?

The broken capital chain means that the performance bonus was just paid out at the beginning of the month and another six million was invested in the outsourcing team, right?

And they even dared to accuse the boss of fraud!!!

Things have been a little better these past two days, not because the conspiracy theorists realized that the so-called Internet trolls were "non-existent", but because another group of people directed the fire to Gulang Kechuang, claiming that Gulang Kechuang was jealous and deliberately smeared Fanxing by hiring Internet trolls...

The heat of public opinion is getting higher and higher. The employees in the development department are not gods, and they cannot settle the situation with a "big gag technique". They can only watch the public opinion and sigh.

Xu Qiusheng just came over from the office. Seeing that his subordinates were not in a good mood, he comforted them, "Don't worry about this. Anyway, our data has reached the target, right? A little public opinion can be easily dealt with by President Gu."

"As long as Mr. Gu takes action, everything will be fine!"

Xu Qiu Sheng works in a serious game design and development position and doesn't know much about promotion and marketing, including the poor promotion and marketing of his previous game "Between the Gods".

Because he didn't know much about publicity and promotion, Xu Qiu Sheng had a mysterious confidence in Gu Qingshi, the princess of the publicity and promotion industry with an outstanding record.

Several employees forced themselves to smile, "Boss, you don't have to lie to us. What matters now is to quickly develop the complete version of the game so that public opinion will be refuted. Only in this way can we live up to Mr. Gu's expectations..."

"Boss, you go ahead and do your work first. We'll work overtime later to catch up on the progress."

"Brothers know that you are under a lot of pressure, Boss. Let's go have a drink together after get off work! It's my treat!"

Xu Qiu Sheng felt a tightness in his chest for a moment. I really have confidence in Mr. Gu!

Moreover, it is okay to take the initiative to work overtime to catch up with the progress...

Even though he had worked in seven or eight game companies overseas and in China, he had never seen this kind of corporate culture.

Of course, he was still very clear. Fanxing's corporate culture was not innate, it was mainly because Gu Qingshi was really willing to give money...

This is a tradition that has been established since the development of Battlefield: if there is a surplus after deducting the development costs from the game's first month sales, 40% of the surplus will be included in the bonus of the corresponding development team and paid with the next month's salary.

It is also because of this tradition that Fanxing has not experienced job-hopping to this day.

Xu Qiu Sheng was a little overwhelmed by being comforted by a group of subordinates. After saying a few words, he quickly ran to the first floor to relax.

Coincidentally, the Development Department had just finished a meeting, and when An Yan and Luo Jing came out of their meeting, they saw Xu Qiu Sheng holding a bag of beer and drinking it in the tea room.

Seeing this, the two looked at each other and walked into the tea room.

Luo Jingcong first asked, "Why did Director Xu suddenly drink?"

"I don't usually touch it, but today I encountered something annoying."
