Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 684 Strike Wave!

"Huh?" Lin You was quite surprised, "Northern Irish players protest? Are they going to join this game?"

"Yes." Chadwick was obviously unhappy, and began to complain to Lin You:

"Originally, the schedule has been arranged, and there will be a confrontation match on Christmas Eve. We have even started the pre-publicity, and the money has been spent!"

"As a result, they only jumped out now, blocking the door of the company every day to protest, saying that the company treated them differently and discriminated against them from Northern Ireland."

"We can't stand this big hat down."

"However, if two teams play one game, if it becomes three, then if you want to decide the ranking, the schedule will inevitably be lengthened."

"So I can only come to you to ask for authorization, not only to extend the game time, but also to screen data and select player representatives for technical authorization. The authorization time must be extended, and the scope of authorization must be expanded to include Northern Ireland players..."

……

Lin You didn't interrupt Chadwick's words, but waited for him to finish before saying:

He hoped to find that turning point.

Before going to bed, he thought fortunately: Fortunately, the wave of strikes did not affect the game industry, otherwise it would never catch up.

"What do you mean?" Chadwick froze for a moment.

Just start with the UK.

In other words, British players may still face high latency for a long time, and continue to fall in love with India in the T3 theater.

It may even be delayed until the New Year's Eve, and it is possible to hit the second [Peak Battle]!
"It's really not enough!" Chadwick quickly changed his words and included Welsh players in this event.

On Yunmeng's side, after finishing the call, Lin You didn't rush to work, but watched the British news with Xiaomeng.

But then some people felt that they were going to go on strike to protest anyway, so they simply protested all the unpleasant things by the way.

After obtaining Lin You's authorization, he finally ended the call with peace of mind.

The complexity of the competition will inevitably bring a lot of work. Next, the entire CC game company must go all out to catch up with the progress.

"Ah!" Chadwick immediately realized the seriousness of the matter—

So they added a few words to the slogan of the strike protest: "Increase salary!" "Improve the working environment!" "Protest against delayed retirement!"

[11.5 Royal Mail staff will start a 20-hour strike from the 48th! ]
[超过1万名救护车护理相关人员，在12月17日和18日举行2天罢工！]
[The British civil servants union stated that its 124 members across 10 administrative departments will take strike action! ]
……

It was still late at night in London at this time, and he had to go to rest quickly.

By this time, there were not many people shouting about virtual games and servers. On the contrary, those slogans became louder and louder, like an avalanche sweeping across the country.

I don't know if the British government agencies have regretted seeing the current situation?

Xiao Meng nodded proudly, and then, the complicated and complicated news pages in front of Lin You immediately began to move quickly and rearrange them.

At the same time, a large number of new windows are opened, and new information is added to this information storm.

"Are they so awesome?!"

But...if that's the case, why don't you see a lot of headlines about [server] and [virtual reality]?
The slogans of these general strikes are either to increase wages, improve the working environment, or issues such as pensions and employment security.

But after looking at the entire timeline, he realized that there was no such a critical point in time.

In just a few seconds, a clear timeline was sorted out by Xiaomeng and displayed in front of Lin You.

Not only that, under this wave of general strikes, even if the British government agrees, I am afraid that the server center will not be built.

Then the second, third, fourth...

"Are you sure this is enough?"

There is no player's voice at all.

"How can a German player be your teacher!"

"What I mean is, is it possible that you announced that Northern Ireland has joined the competition today, and tomorrow the company's gate will be blocked by Welsh players? As far as I know, the number of players in Wales is three points more than that in Northern Ireland." one."

So I came to the familiar small sofa again, shared a glass of juice with Xiaomeng, and began to browse overseas news.

However, if a game is played where players from England, Scotland and Northern Ireland are all involved and only players from Wales are left out...

In this wave of strikes, the protests of the players are just a primer to detonate the powder keg.

Throughout various industries, transportation, education, logistics, medical care... even civil servants!
The spread is ridiculously large.

At the same time, Lin You also had to worry: After such a round of "uproar", is there any hope for Yunmeng's server center to settle in the UK?
Thinking about it differently, if someone caused him such a big trouble, then he would definitely not make the other party too happy...

Lin You recalled that the last time he paid attention to the news in the UK, it seemed that the British players planned to learn from the "advanced experience" of the German players, abandoning powerless protest marches, and unite as many people as possible to organize a nationwide strike.

But looking at the intensified general strike in the UK now, Lin You was shocked:

"Sure enough, wages, medical care, and pensions are the eternal social issues." Lin You couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Lin You turned to look at Xiao Meng who was holding his arm: "Xiao Meng, do you know what's going on?"

And these slogans had a far greater impact than their previous slogans!
A large number of netizens spontaneously joined Calais, and the volume of strike protests grew day by day.

In contrast, the protest of the players at the entrance of the CC game company was just one of the inconspicuous little waves.

Lin You followed the timeline and looked at the titles one by one.

At first, the scale of the strike was not large, and its influence on the Internet far exceeded its influence on society in reality.

This is outrageous too!

Then they must not be able to bear it!
At that time, there will inevitably be another turmoil, and if the delay continues, the final battle of this game will definitely not be in time for Christmas.

Chadwick's phrase "Don't you know?" made him realize that he hadn't paid attention to overseas situations for a while.

Afterwards, the first professional trade unions emerged, organizing their members to go on organized general strikes.

After all, if he had agreed to the player's request earlier, he might not have to face the current mess.

In order to convey their "powerful" voice, the server serving the virtual world can be successfully completed.

This will not work.

"Is this... made by British players?"

Later, because he was busy with other things, he did not follow up on this matter.

The behavior quickly saw a plethora of imitators.

"Of course Xiaomeng knows!"

The first piece of news that came into view made Lin You call it awesome in his heart——

[More than 15 teaching staff across the country will go on strike for three consecutive days starting from December 12! ]
Looking at the recent news, it is even more outrageous——

Although Wales and England have a close relationship, they seldom talk about independence.

It started with player protests, and then went from protests to strikes.

Lin You looked at the news of strikes and protests. Some of them have already happened, some are in progress, and some are planned in the future...

unless……

Move the server center to Ireland?

As soon as this idea came up, Lin You thought of another thing:

"It seems that...Ireland and Britain also have enmity?"
