Chapter 131 Yuan Jiaming Runs Away

Monday, March 1
Bai Chuan waited for the start of the New Year mobilization meeting in the newly expanded meeting room of the company, but his heart drifted to Jiang Gutian involuntarily.

Last night, Miss Witch's capture plan was only half successful. With the help of his plant magic, Kuroba Kaito was successfully controlled. But on the way back, I don't know what method the kid used to fool Koizumi Anko, and he succeeded. Untie the rope and escape.

Koizumi Hongzi, who came back to her senses and realized that she had been tricked, was naturally unwilling, and directly formulated a complete Kidd capture plan.

If you guessed correctly, Hongzi Koizumi will deploy a formation covering the entire Jianggutian today, accurately find Kidd's traces from tens of thousands of people, and arrest him.

It's a pity that magic is no match for the halo after all, and a heavy snowfall covered the magic circle, allowing Kaito Kidd to escape again.

I really want to see it~
Bai Chuan sighed inwardly.

The magic circle that encloses a city can cover the ground with snowflakes within 1 minute. This battle is much more powerful than the meteorite that fell from the sky when he took Conan away!
But it was clear he wasn't going anywhere.

Who knows why the time suddenly came to January 1st, even if he was unwilling, he still had to go to the company to assume the responsibility of his president.

Although we don't know how many months this year will last, the focus of Naito Electronics Co., Ltd. has not changed.

There are four main tasks this year.

The first thing is to restart the development of "CS: GO".

This new game, which has been stagnated indefinitely in the hands of Yasuo Kojima, is the most important part of Shirakawa's game sector.Through this multiplayer online game, he is preparing to officially launch his own game platform Unreal.

During the period when this game platform was just emerging, it was completely impossible to make money lying down like V Agency, and there were not a large number of independent game producers on the market to contribute to the platform. Therefore, the first-party online games are the support. The best way to increase platform traffic.

Now "Warcraft" has not yet reached 3, and naturally there is no DOTA, let alone DOTA2, which brought the first wave of large traffic to V Club. However, with the existence of "CS", it will bring the second wave to V Club. The third wave of high-traffic "CS: GO" and "PUBG" are both possible to produce.

He doesn't even need to produce the quality of "CS: GO", as long as he produces "CF", he can spread the game platform all over the world.

As long as he manages it with his heart for a while, won't the reputation of the resort company fall on him?

The second thing is to do the final debugging of the somatosensory fighting game plan and the launch of "King of Fighters" and "Street Fighter".

These two games can be regarded as Shirakawa's last dance in the fighting field. In the future, whether it is "Dead or Alive" or the iteration of King of Fighters Street Fighter will be fully developed by the newly independent studio. The company's headquarters will be transformed step by step, gradually getting rid of The bondage of fighting games.

In Bai Chuan's plan, the complete Naito Electronics Co., Ltd. is like an octopus, firmly controlling the entire culture and entertainment in its hands, and games are only a small branch.

The headquarters of the whole company will completely break away from game production, and turn to console manufacturing, mobile phone research and development and the application of virtual reality technology.

As for the games, they are all completed by the studios under me.

The company's third major event this year is closely related to the first two, and that is the establishment of professional e-sports competitions.

This idea had already been planned as early as more than a year ago when "CS" was released. Unfortunately, both Command and Conquer and Counter-Strike only support LAN connection. It can only be a small fight.

Generally speaking, they are contests in Internet cafes and taverns, at most the scale of a community or a county town, completely incomparable to the world-level confrontations in Bai Chuan's memory.

Therefore, under the sponsorship of CS fan Ryoko Suzuki, the news of the International Invitational Tournament will be released as soon as "CS:GO" is launched, inviting players from all over the world to compete for a prize of 300 million US dollars.

It is also interesting to say that the two games lured two young ladies from the Suzuki Consortium to contribute to the company. This is really a road that has never been imagined.

However, since CS is going to hold competitions, fighting games naturally cannot favor one over another, and "The King of Fighters" and "Street Fighter" can be regarded as evergreen trees in the field of e-sports. One of the most conspicuous of its kind.

As long as the competitive attributes of these two games can be fully developed, there will be a path to follow for subsequent moba games and even mobile games.

As for the last and most important event of the company this year, it is to acquire Mantiantang, its biggest rival.

As Kudo Shinichi gets smaller, the time for Tequila's death is approaching step by step.According to what Bai Chuan has learned from various sources, the press conference of Mantiantang is absolutely luxurious. More than ten new games have been prepared, and it is said that two congressmen were invited to the platform at a high price.

As far as the team is concerned, except for the fact that the venue for the press conference is a bit worse than that of Naidu Electronics, all aspects are in a state of being crushed.

But Bai Chuan knew very well that this was nothing more than a desperate effort by Mantangtang after being suppressed in the past two years.

If this press conference is successful, even if there is no game like "Counter-Strike" that sells more than one million copies in Japan, as long as there are two games that sell more than 50 copies, Mantiantian will be able to live on for a long time, even in Japan. To a certain extent, get rid of the suppression of Naido Electronics.

But it's a pity that the god of death has always been so unreasonable when he comes to the door.An explosion without warning will directly turn this turnaround battle into a grave dug by Mantiantian himself.

These four things in Baichuan's plan are not very easy to accomplish, so he will not force it. As long as Mantiantang is under his command, other things can be accepted in a few months.

"President, it's not good."

Just when Bai Chuan had prepared all the materials needed for the meeting and was about to take a break, a brown-haired woman ran into the meeting room in a panic.

This woman in an OL uniform and with unusually thick hair is Shirakawa's newly recruited secretary after Amuro Toru's resignation. Her name is Miho Nishitani.

Her resume and work ability are not outstanding, but the name Miho Nishiya and "The Murder of the Wolf of Rice Flower" are enough for Bai Chuan to recruit her.

This anti-stalker case is very simple, and basically it will not take much effort to solve it. In addition, Ms. Xigu has made rapid progress during this period, so she has completely taken root in the company.

"Don't worry, speak slowly." Bai Chuan handed over the unopened mineral water on the table, signaling her not to panic.

"President, the original Jiaming designer and several old employees of the "Legend" project team left suddenly."

really gone?
Hearing the news, Bai Chuan was slightly taken aback. He was not surprised by Yuan Jiaming's resignation. His heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper. It was already expected that the trash who has a milk is a mother will run away, but someone Leaving with him was indeed beyond Bai Chuan's expectations.

And it sounds like it was still the production team of "Legend". That game was released when the time suddenly jumped, so Bai Chuan didn't know the specific situation. He just learned from various records that after the game went online for a while, it gradually returned to "Legend". Quiet, but overseas copyright sales are going well, and the sequel "Journey" is already in production.

Why would someone choose to leave such a promising project?Could it be that Yuan Jiaming has a unique temperament that makes people admire him?

"Not only did he leave with his employees, but Yuan Jiaming also took away all the materials of "Zhengtu". We have already begun to trace his next home."

Hu Cang Genpei walked into the conference room with a gust of wind, his face a little ugly.

Even when the old president passed away and the company was extremely difficult, Naidu Electronics did not experience such a large-scale resignation of personnel, and they still fled with materials.

It was literally a slap in the face.

"Did Yuan Jiaming suffer any unfair treatment in the company?" Bai Chuan asked in confusion. According to his understanding, the spy planted by Lang Mu actually had a bad time.

As soon as he entered the company, he was assigned the task of persuading Fei Yingli to agree to the supernatural abilities of "Ace Attorney". After being speechless by Fei Yingli, he turned around and joined the research and development of "Legend".

In this way, it has been developed for a period of time, because Bai Chuan has been suppressing the game and not allowing it to be released, and Yuan Jiaming used some means to return to the production team of "Ace Attorney". As a result, not long after he returned, "Legend" was released, and the agent also returned. It sold for a sky-high price.

And our poor Yuan Jiaming wandered around in a daze for a long time, and didn't get half a dime of the benefits. Naturally, there should be resentment in his heart, but even if there is resentment, it is not enough to betray so thoroughly.

Bai Chuan didn't know what kind of story it was.

"There is no unfair treatment." Hu Cang Sanghei shook his head, "I have already investigated, Yuan Jiaming has always wanted to lead a production team independently, and his ability is not bad. It is reasonable to say that this is not difficult, but repeatedly working in two jobs The behavior of jumping between groups in an attempt to gain benefits made the human resources side have always been conservative about his promotion.

We also checked the few employees he united with. Although they didn't jump around like Yuan Jiaming, they more or less took credit, so the road to promotion was not smooth, maybe because of this, they Only then did I have the idea of ​​leaving together. "

"So there is a better place to go?" Bai Chuan frowned. In the original plot, the Tokipan Group accepted Yuan Jiaming who defected from the organization. Bai Chuan once regarded all this as a coincidence. Now, it seems that the surname Yuan The guy had a relationship with the Tokiwa Group a long time ago?

"Forget it, what they took away was just a copy of "Journey", it's not important." It was not clear when Yuan Jiaming got involved with the Tokiwa Group, Bai Chuan simply stopped thinking about it.

He was going to send a message to Langmu in a while, at least to find out whether Yuan Jiaming simply wanted to change jobs or had defected from the organization.

"President, this matter doesn't count." Hu Cang Sanghei said with a wry smile, "The popularity of "Legend" abroad has exceeded everyone's expectations. Some operators in South Korea, China, and Southeast Asia rely on this game to make money. So much money, so in addition to renewing the agency contract, we also signed a contract for a new game.

Now that "Zhengtu" is gone, we may need to pay a lot of liquidated damages. "

Liquidated damages?
Hearing this word, Bai Chuan was not in a very good mood. Although he is now a moderately rich man, he is not so extravagant that those millions of dollars are not taken seriously.

And it was Yuan Jiaming's fault from the beginning to the end, why did he make him pay in the end?

"Did you stipulate with those agents that the sequel must be "Zhengtu"?" Bai Chuan asked after thinking for a moment. If it was really stipulated that the sequel must be "Zhengtu", they would be very passive no matter how they dealt with it.

"That's not true, but we clearly informed at the time that it would be a sequel to "Legend." Torakura Sanghei rummaged through his stack of documents for a while, and took out a photocopy of the contract.

"Then make a new game." Since "Journey" is not a must, Bai Chuan is right. Games similar to "Legend" have eight hundred if not one thousand in his previous life. up?
At that time, I will also find two celebrities to record a small video, and say the last sentence, "If you are a brother, come and kill me." 'Well, Kogoro Mori and Haruki Motegi seem to be good.

Of course, Bai Chuan wasn't bored to that point yet.

This incident is an opportunity for the company. To put it bluntly, the likes of "Legend" and "Journey" can only be regarded as the lastest things in MMOs, belonging to the bottom of the chain of contempt.

In that case, why doesn't he take this opportunity to relaunch a game that people love to hear and see?
It is said that the most inseparable MMO must be the mountain of "World of Warcraft", but Bai Chuan has made up his mind, "World of Warcraft" will wait until the theatrical version of The Dead on Baker Street, and directly produce a virtual reality version after getting a virtual reality game console.

So naturally they were eliminated first.

Although the subsequent FF14 is also a very high-quality choice, but the current hardware technology is not yet supported, and the second is that there is no support from the previous generation of Final Fantasy. Even if this game is released, it will be difficult to become popular quickly. will directly die violently.

As for the Korean online games, they were completely out of his consideration. Let Isshin Matsuda's i company handle things like "Black Desert".

After thinking about it for a long time, it seems that the only ones that can be sold are "Fantasy Westward Journey", which he gave up several times due to the reason of point card, and "Wenwen", which is slightly inferior in all aspects.

The painting style of these two games is destined to not be too difficult to produce, and as a veteran game, various systems and functions are very complete, you only need to copy them, and you don’t need to move your mind.

The only problem is that the background stories of these two games are a bit embarrassing, so I won’t talk about them. There is no market for such things as cultivating immortals and becoming gods in Japan. Money matters, and Journey to the West only has a certain market in China, and other countries may not be able to please it well.

But when it comes to IP, Bai Chuan immediately had a bold idea, "Well, I have an idea. The game that will replace "Zhengtu" will be a game based on "Three Kingdoms."
