Chapter 154 Questioning
Facebook CEO Fred Weisler was a little confused about the thinking of Qin Shaoyan, the major shareholder. The company's business was so busy that he had to pull him over.

A few people went to a remote place in Illinois to meet some state senator.

Fred feels that even if Facebook wants to go to the upper echelons of government, it should also go to the California Senate.

Why did you come to Illinois? You can't hit this eight poles.

Is Facebook going to move here?

Our headquarters has just moved to Silicon Valley. Isn’t it appropriate to move to another location?

However, questions were questions, and Fred still cooperated with a smile on his face, watching Qin Shaoyan chatting and laughing with the black senator.

After the meeting, several people took photos and Obama personally sent Qin Shaoyan to the car.

Before leaving, he held Qin Shaoyan's hand cordially and said, "Nice to meet you, my friend."

Qin Shaoyan responded with a smile, then got in the car and left.

"Did we spend a million dollars just to play golf and have afternoon tea with this black senator?" Fred felt a little weird sitting in the car.

Fred nodded thoughtfully.

"Uh, no." Fred frowned, "But discrimination against black people still exists in American society, and there are many inequalities."

"Then let's toast to future success in advance." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.

Fred then reacted, "So, he will run for president?"

"So if the Democratic Party wants votes, it must set an example to let everyone see their determination to promote equal rights." Qin Shaoyan clicked on the famous black man in the distance, "See, that is their flag and their example. "

"Does it say in the U.S. Constitution that black people cannot be president?" Qin Shaoyan asked rhetorically.

……

Qin Shaoyan asked back: "Are you racist?"

"Shit!" Not only Fred was shocked, but even George was dumbfounded, "He? President of the United States?"

"The guy who bought it, he is a black man and there is no way he can be president."

"Within three years, we will strive to raise a few more rounds and then go public quickly. By then you will be a new billionaire."

"That's good." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "So you should maintain more friendship with this Mr. Senator."

"It's not just the election, he has a high probability of success." Qin Shaoyan patted Fred, "We have to make some investments for the future like venture capital."

"No!" Fred exclaimed, "I'm not a conservative or a redneck."

"This is your ticket to the upper level." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Come on, Fred!"

By then I would have sold my shares and run away, my friend.

"Why?" Fred still didn't understand.

"Because he will become a senator at the end of the year." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "And I have a strong premonition that he will become the president of the United States."

"Same for you, John." Fred smiled, "My friend, you are the biggest beneficiary."

"Work hard to develop Facebook and use our strength to tell those politicians that our website is very helpful to them."

Ding Yang from "Popular Software" sat energetically in front of the computer, carefully searching for some news materials on the Internet, and struggling to read the long English reports.

Due to limited funds, it is impossible for "Popular Software" to send people to Los Angeles to participate in the E3 exhibition, so they can only use some other means to obtain information.

For example, ask companies participating in the exhibition to take some photos for them and send some exhibition information.

The rest is to rely on the Internet, search for news on American websites, and then translate it for reference.

Although Ding Yang is not an orthodox reporter, he is still very ethical. He does not stitch together news, nor does he make it up himself.

If you are smart, you can compile a piece of news on an external website and upload it later, and then translate it and repost it.

Unlike Ding Yang, who collects various reports bit by bit, he dares not directly quote unilateral reports. He must confirm the authenticity of the reports from multiple parties before he dares to use them.

However, Ding Yang was still very happy, because at this exhibition, Chinese game companies became the biggest dark horses, which made the Chinese game industry feel proud.

The person who created this feat is none other than the number one producer of Huaxia Games, Mr. Qin Shaoyan. "As expected of Mr. Qin." Ding Yang said with emotion while browsing the forum, "Last year's Plants vs. Zombies set a sales record of 20 million copies, and now it is surprising the world with a single-player demo."

The forum he visited was a professional forum where game fans gathered. There were all kinds of gossip in it, and it was also an important source of information for him.

There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this forum. Some netizens in the United States not only participated in the exhibition, but also often posted some photos in the forum.

Among these photos is the Chuxin Technology booth. Under an ordinary camera lens, the exquisite picture quality of "Counter Terrorism: Modern Warfare" can still be seen.

Those photos made Ding Yang feel excited. This is China's first world-class game, and it is still the top level in the world.

In this era, if you can reach the top of the world in a certain field and be praised by Europeans and Americans, that is a very remarkable achievement and can easily resonate with everyone.

"Qin Shaoyan" and "Anti-Terrorism: Modern Warfare" are words that appear frequently in the forum these days. Eight out of ten posts discuss these two words, which is comparable to Weibo's hot searches.

Netizens were extremely excited about the emergence of "Counter Terrorism: Modern Warfare" and sent out all kinds of fancy promotions for free.

Some netizens said that with Mr. Qin’s leadership, China’s gaming industry will soon reach the world’s first-class level, catching up with Japan and surpassing the United States is just around the corner.

Of course, in addition to praise, there are also some discordant voices on the forum.

For example, some people ridiculed Qin Shaoyan that his game design level is only this level. "Plants vs. Zombies" is just a small game. Basically, you only need to have a hand.

Some people also questioned Qin Shaoyan's reputation as "the number one player in Chinese games" and openly claimed that he had searched the Internet and never heard of the Golden Keyboard award.

The golden keyboard is just a pheasant award, or Qin Shaoyan made it up himself.

Qin Shaoyan is a big liar!

Seeing this post, Ding Yang's blood pressure suddenly rose.

If you dare to scold my idol, please come!
Ding Yang started with a "Lanzhou Shaobing" and then quoted scriptures to refute the other party's nonsense.

"Plants vs. Zombies has sold over 20 million units in Europe and the United States. Whether the game is good or not depends on facts. European and American players vote with real money."

“The game depends on whether it’s fun or not, it doesn’t matter how big or small it is.”

"European and American game magazines have repeatedly reported on Plants vs. Zombies, and professional game reviewers have praised it. Why do you just have the skills to do it? You can do it."

"Your Excellency is so noble. I don't know if there are any masterpieces coming out. Please send them out for everyone to appreciate."

"The Golden Keyboard was personally awarded to Mr. Qin by Gabe Newell, the boss of V. I've seen the award photos, but how come it's the Pheasant Award that comes to your mouth?"

Ding Yang was scolding in the post, and the editor next to him came over.

"Ding Yang." The editor beckoned, "Come on."

Ding Yang quickly exited and walked quickly to the editor, "What's the matter, editor?"

The editor-in-chief pondered for two seconds and said slowly, "Recently, newspapers have reported a lot about the E3 exhibition, and Qin Shaoyan and Mr. Qin were highlighted among them."

"I remember that you are very familiar with Mr. Qin. We will publish an exclusive interview in the next issue, and you will be responsible for it."

"Okay!" Ding Yang looked excited, "I'll contact Chuxin Technology right now."

"Wait a minute." The editor stopped Ding Yang who was about to leave, "There's one more thing."

"Recently, there have been many voices questioning President Qin on the Internet, and many of them said that the Golden Keyboard Award was fake."

Ding Yang became anxious when he heard this, and immediately defended: "Editor-in-Chief, don't listen to those idiots on the Internet. I have seen the awards photos, how could they be fake?"

"No one can fake this thing. Americans have done it, but Europeans can't do it either."

"I still understand the basic principles of photography, and there is no trace of Photoshop on it."

The editor comforted him: "Don't get excited. I'm not saying the photo is fake, I'm talking about the Golden Keyboard Award."

"I asked many friends in the United States to inquire, as well as professionals working in gaming magazines there, and they all said they didn't know about the Golden Keyboard Award."

"So, you'd better implement this matter and see if there are any problems."

"After all, we are responsible for the authenticity of the content."

Ding Yang's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will get back the evidence about the golden keyboard."
