.
When Shi Lei signed the employment agreement with Xie Hui and Hong Xiang, he instructed Xie Hui to announce some things at the press conference.
Other than the announced collaboration with Yuquan International and the 10 million investment, Shi Lei also instructed one last thing.
Xie Hui held a bunch of microphones in his hands and smiled mysteriously. "Everyone knows how to play computer games, right?"
The Apple Daily reporter was the first to reply. "Of course!
Use the keyboard and mouse to control the corresponding characters in the computer game and play the game for entertainment! "
"That's right!
Currently, all computer games in the market require keyboard and mouse controls, right?
Even if you don't need keyboard and mouse controls, you can still use a game controller to replace them. It's not true that you don't need mouse and keyboard, right? "
Am I right? "Xie Hui directed the attention of the reporters.
The Liberty Times reporter understood what Xie Hui meant. "Mr. Xie Hui, you mean that you will be developing a game that doesn't require mouse and keyboard controls?"
Xie Hui nodded proudly. "Bingo!
Our investor has mastered a very important technology that can allow computer games to be operated without keyboard and mouse controls! "
The Liberty Times reporter was amazed. "How is this possible?
How can you control the characters without mouse and keyboard? "
The other reporters were more or less confused. The Apple Daily reporter asked again, "Mr. Xie Hui, if you don't use keyboard and mouse controls, how will you operate the game?"
Xie Hui laughed and shook his head. "This is our trade secret!
The investor has signed a strict confidentiality agreement with us. If you want to know how the game operates, please look forward to the game we are developing! "
The entire press conference was perfect. They successfully promoted the concept of a game that didn't require a keyboard and mouse. They also used the 10 million USD investment to gain popularity for the game that hadn't started production yet.
After the press conference, Xie Hui and Hong Xiang contacted the original members of the Fanatic Creative Group and asked them if they wanted to join the new team.
Shi Lei was in his hotel room. He looked at the news report of Xie Hui's press conference and smiled faintly.
This trip to Taiwan had been very successful. He had successfully roped in the original Fanatic Creative Group's core member, Xie Hui, and the main member, Hong Xiang.
And through them, he would get a stronger team than the Fanatics Creative Group.
However, this wasn't enough. Shi Lei's time was tight. It was already the last few days of year 06, and it was about to enter year 07.
In the fifth month of 2007, the Transmigration Frontline would be released. That was Shi Lei's greatest enemy!
If they wanted to develop a game that was comparable to The Elder Scrolls 4 in just five months, they would undoubtedly be pressed for time.
There was only one way to develop a premium game in a time crunch!
That was to increase the number of developers!
For example, in terms of art design, if one art designer's job was divided among 100 art designers, the efficiency would increase by more than 10%!
Therefore, Shi Lei needed more game developers.
Yu Quan International alone and Xie Hui's newly established game development team could not satisfy Shi Lei's needs for the time being.
Shi Lei set his sights on three companies: Pixel Software, West Mountain Residence, and Target Software.
Among them, West Mountain Residence was Shi Lei's main target. This company had a unique understanding of Wuxia games, as well as a foundation in production.
Another reason was that West Mountain Residence had enough people, which could greatly increase the overall progress of the project.
After coming up with a new plan, and the plan for the trip to Taiwan was completed, Shi Lei could finally relax.
Just as Shi Lei let out a sigh of relief, his phone suddenly rang.
Shi Lei's phone number was used for global communication, so it could be used in Taiwan.
When he picked up the phone, he saw that it was He Wanqiu's number. Shi Lei immediately put down the phone and pretended that he didn't hear it.
He Wanqiu was definitely a big problem!
Zhong Muyuan's cousin, Zhong Mukui, was the deputy mayor of Beijing. Zhao Qiang had a military background, but he was still so polite to He Wanqiu. From this, one could see how deep He Wanqiu's background was.
Shi Lei didn't want to be involved with a woman with such a deep background!
One Lingyumo was enough to make Shi Lei mentally and physically exhausted. Lingyu stood between him and Lingyumo, making Shi Lei feel very helpless.
Shi Lei didn't feel safe just by not picking up the phone. He immediately turned on the hotel's computer and hacked into the hotel's registration system. He set up a security measure for their check-in records so that they couldn't be searched by external networks.
After doing this, Shi Lei finally felt a little relieved.
He Wanqiu, oh He Wanqiu, you little devil. Why do you keep pestering me? Shi Lei thought to himself.
Actually, He Wanqiu had a noble status and a prominent family background. She also had a proud appearance and an outstanding figure. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't be interested in Shi Lei.
But in reality, the men around He Wanqiu were either respectful or polite to her. None of them were like Shi Lei. Not only did he not pester He Wanqiu, but he also avoided her as if she were a jinx.
He Wanqiu noticed Shi Lei's unique attitude, so she paid special attention to Shi Lei.
This was the so-called reverse effect. Taking a situation that was the opposite of what the other party usually received would easily attract the other party's attention.
In a high-end apartment in Taiwan, He Wanqiu was sitting with a mixed-race beauty. She angrily threw her phone on the ground and said, "Despicable Little Shitou, just you wait!
Hmph!
Shuangqing University?
I will find you! "
The mixed-race beauty was a famous model in Taiwan. She was a Ukrainian, but she lived in the entertainment industry in Taiwan. Her name was Rachel.
Rachel looked at He Wanqiu strangely and asked in fluent Chinese, "Wanqiu, what happened?
Why are you so angry? "
He Wanqiu snorted and said, "A friend of mine is also in Taiwan. He dares not to pick up my call!"
Rachel laughed and teased, "Is it your boyfriend?
There's actually a man who can resist your charm, Wanqiu. He's really not simple! "
"Hmph!
That guy is just a broken rock. He doesn't know anything about romance! "He Wanqiu deliberately belittled Shi Lei.
"Ah?
Is there really such a man? "The mixed-race beauty, Rachel, expressed her doubts.
He Wanqiu nodded and said, "There really is such a man!
I'll bring you to meet him next time. I just don't know if that idiot will like a beautiful mixed-race girl like you! "
Rachel retorted, "Wanqiu, I'm not as beautiful as you!"
On the evening of the 27th, all the major media, television stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations, and online portals in Taiwan were reporting on the same matter.
Freedom Times: "Fanatics Creative Group Resurrected. Can they turn the tide again?"
"… Latest news, according to our reporter's interview, the original core of the Fanatics Creative Group, Xie Hui, has resigned from Thunder Jue Entertainment a few days ago. He is preparing to rebuild the Fanatics Creative Group and gather his former subordinates.
Can the Fanatics Creative Group, which once created a glorious scene, be resurrected and turn the tide again? "
Apple Daily: "Mysterious capital invests tens of millions of US dollars to create a new PC game!"
"… According to the latest news, the original core of the Fanatics Creative Group, Xie Hui, has joined a mysterious company and received more than ten million US dollars in investment. They claim to be developing the first online game in Xia Xia.
According to reliable sources, the online game will abandon the traditional keyboard and mouse operation mode and create a new generation of online games with a new operation mode.
Is this a revolutionary innovation or a shocking hype? Let's wait and see! "
CTV News Channel: "Fanatics Creative Group, Yuquan International, who is the mysterious investor?"
"… Taking in the Fanatics Creative Group, successfully forming an alliance with Yuquan International, and failing to rope in Universe Star. Who is the mysterious investor?
According to insiders, the mysterious investor is from Xia Xia, and it is a very powerful company.
The ten million US dollars investment is not a lie, but a real 80 million US Xia dollar investment in a soon to be established subsidiary company specializing in the development and operation of games. "
Zhongtian News: "The gaming industry welcomes a big shot, and players welcome happiness!"
"… The mysterious investor from Xia Xia is investing a lot of money to create a new PC game.
All the major online game manufacturers were lamenting the fact that another big shot had entered the gaming world. However, all the well-informed super players were cheering. The gaming world had welcomed an even more powerful company. Perhaps they would be able to enjoy the game even better! "
In addition to the aforementioned newspapers and TV stations, a large number of newspapers also reported on it, such as the Business Times, Wang Bao, Lianhe Evening News, Huaxia Times, Shuang Pao, etc.
As for the TV stations, Dongsen News Channel, Era News Channel, TVBS Television Station, Sanli News Channel, etc., also reported on it.
Regarding the mysterious investor from the Xia Kingdom, it caused a huge wave of gaming in Taiwan. News of this spread all over Taiwan, causing all the gamers in Taiwan to become extremely interested in this unknown game that had yet to surface.
Due to the craze in Taiwan's media, Xia Xia's media also received the news and reposted it enthusiastically.
Due to the cultural atmosphere, loopholes in the law, and weak policies, Xia Xia's intellectual property rights protection has always been in a state of disharmony.
Because of this reason, Lijian Province, European countries, Voisin, etc., developed games are never sold in Xia Xia.
After all, the first day their original games are released, there will be all kinds of pirated games the next day. All the major game manufacturers have given up on Xia Xia.
Even the powerful world-class game manufacturers cannot survive in Xia Xia's strange land. Xia Xia's local game manufacturers do not know how to create high-budget games.
So, when Xia Xia's mysterious investor confirmed his plans to invest in a huge game in Taiwan, the entire Xia Xia gaming industry is excited!
