"Boss, congratulations!" Ke Lilun smiled at Li Xuan. ⊥,

"Bring me the newspaper, what happened today, why do you all look at me strangely?" Li Xuan said inexplicably. Along the way after entering the company, several bold employees have congratulated him.

Li Xuan has not made any big moves recently. The only happy event worth celebrating is that yesterday, Oriental Technology Holdings and Hongkong Land Company formally reached an agreement to acquire the 34.9% stake in Hongkong Telephone Company held by Landmark at a price of 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. .

However, this is not the first time that Li Dongfang Group has acquired in Hong Kong. The previous acquisitions of Jiahua Bank and Hengrong Bank have not received such attention!

Li Xuan took over a copy of "Oriental Daily" handed over by Ke Lilun, and the headline headline was "'God of Wealth Li' succeeded in making a man and distributed profits, Hong Kong dialect stocks rose more than two floors." In fact, as early as after the Oriental Group started the acquisition negotiation with Hongkong Land, gossip began to spread in the market, and the share price of Hong Kong Dialect also stopped falling and rebounded immediately.

Li Xuan even suspected that the news on the market was the rumors that Landmark had deliberately released. After all, the higher the market value of the Hong Kong dialect company, the more confident they will be to sell a high price to the Oriental company.

After many rounds of back-and-forth tug-of-war between the two sides, the deal was finally settled at a price of HK$1.8 billion. Yesterday morning, representatives of the two companies held a press conference after signing the transfer agreement. Since noon, the share prices of Hong Kong dialing companies in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange market began to skyrocket.

Affected by the lack of progress in the new round of negotiations between the Chinese and British delegations that ended a few days ago, the Hong Kong stock market has been falling for several consecutive trading days. Yesterday, stimulated by the news that the Oriental Group acquired the Hong Kong Telephone Company, the technology and electronics sectors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange rebounded across the board. Even the broader market successfully stopped falling and rose before the market closed in the afternoon.

After all, the stock market is a market of confidence. Li Xuan took over the Hong Kong telephone company with a market value of more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars. Undoubtedly, a shot in the arm has been injected into the declining Hong Kong stock market. From the perspective of the market, the world's richest man must be optimistic about the future of Hong Kong. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity that the Hong Kong stock market has fallen to a trough, I bought the Hong Kong telephone company at the bottom.

Otherwise, why should Li Xuan come to the muddy waters at this time? We must know that many British-owned companies have begun to look down on the future of Hong Kong and are preparing to move the company's registered place out of Hong Kong. And 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars is definitely not a small sum. Even if the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar to the US dollar has fallen below 1 to 7, it is still a huge sum of nearly 250 million US dollars.

Li Xuan quickly scanned the entire report. The first half was about the acquisition of the Hong Kong dial-up company by Dongfang Group, which drove the Hong Kong stock market to rise. In the second half of the report, the conversation suddenly changed, and a major news broke. "God of Wealth Li" succeeded in creating a man. The 50 billion fortune has a successor. The two news happened on the same day. The reporter of "Oriental Daily" said with a smile that after the "God of Wealth Li" got the good news for his child, he specially gave the Hong Kong stockholders a big payout to make everyone sticky and happy!

And the news of Zhong Chuhong's pregnancy was exposed, it was none other than Li Ke, the boss of the Family Fun Film Company, Li Xuan's eldest brother. Yesterday, Li Ke attended the launch conference of a new film of the film company under his name. When asked by reporters when he, the diamond king, was going to get married, Li Ke said that he was not in a hurry. Anyway, the younger brother already has a child, so he does not need to rush to pass on the family lineage.

As a result, the news quickly appeared on the front pages of Hong Kong newspapers today. After Zhong Chuhong was pregnant, Li Xuan did not publicize it except to inform his family. Now because of a slip of the tongue from my elder brother. Or make the news all over the city.

"President Wei of "Daily Daily" made a special call just now. He said that boss, if you have such exclusive news in the future, you must take care of your own newspaper first!" Ke Lilun said in the tone of President Wei from the call just now.

Li Xuan smiled and shook his head. Putting the newspaper down gently, he turned around and walked into the office. Then immediately grabbed the phone and called Zhong Chuhong.

"Well, I just read the newspaper. I already know. I don't have any reporters here. It seems that they are all running to block your new mother! If you really can't get rid of these flies, just take a few days off and give yourself a break. Fake!" Li Xuan said affectionately into the microphone.

Although she was pregnant with a child, Li Xuan did not advise his wife to immediately drop the job at hand. As a result, Zhong Chuhong just arrived at the TV building of ATV Group today, and was blocked by a group of reporters who were waiting in advance.

Although there was such a small episode, Li Xuan's mood was not affected. After becoming a father for the first time, Li Xuan's work status has also become high-spirited and active again. Before this period of time, even he himself felt a little decadent.

With enough money, social status and fame, the red flag at home can still be fluttering outside, and Li Xuan has a sense of confusion that he has lost his goal in life.

"Help me call Fatty Du here!" Li Xuan made an internal call and instructed Ke Lilun outside the office.

About ten minutes later, Du Wenqiang trotted all the way into Li Xuan's office. In fact, it is not appropriate to call Du Wenqiang Du Fatty again. Since he was nourished by love two years ago, he started to lose weight under the urging of his wife, and now he has become a handsome man.

"Mr. Li, are you looking for me?" Du Wenqiang asked.

Li Xuan motioned for him to sit down first: "How is the development of "The King of Fighters", why hasn't it been released yet?

"Haha, I have warned Meng Shouzhi not to drag them on!" Du Wenqiang said a little embarrassedly.

Li Xuan couldn't help but think of an image of a literary male with fluttering long hair. The last time he went to the game company, the "King of Fighters" project team had already made a prototype, but half a year later, the game has not yet been released. At other companies, half a year is enough time to develop a new game from scratch.

Li Xuan felt that Dongfang Game Company was becoming more and more in line with Blizzard in another time and space, and would bounce tickets at every turn. Although the quality of the game is life, such procrastination efficiency is by no means a normal state.

"I don't want to hear any reason, "The King of Fighters" must be released in quality and quantity before June! If Meng Shouzhi and his development team can't meet my requirements, tell him, don't want the sales bonus of "The King of Fighters"!"

Li Xuan said solemnly, "Also, after you go back, convene a meeting with the project team leaders, and have a good meeting to review! Before submitting the game for filing in the future, you must fully consider and formulate a detailed development timetable. This should also be included in the review of the game case. Ben's key indicators. If a project developer can't even control the progress of his own game development, how can the company believe that he has the ability to succeed!"

Du Wenqiang nodded somewhat embarrassedly. Dongfang Game Company has been very successful in recent years, almost sweeping the world in various fields such as arcade machines, handheld consoles, and home game consoles. This also breeds a kind of blind arrogance within the company, thinking that Laozi is invincible in the world.

Confused by the company's current thriving vision, many people lay on the laurels of the past and began to slack off and not make progress. The non-stop bounce of "The King of Fighters" is not so much because the development team wants to keep improving, but it is more because everyone starts to slack off after losing their sense of crisis. Even Du Wenqiang, the company's president, is no exception. In the past two years, he has not had any dazzling performances!

"What's your plan for the company's future development?" Li Xuan asked bluntly.

In the face of the boss's sudden attack, Du Wenqiang was a little overwhelmed. He saw that Li Xuan's face gradually turned gloomy, and a few cold sweats began to appear on his forehead, and he quickly turned his brain to think.

Before Du Wenqiang could organize the language, Li Xuan threw a document over, motioning him to take a look. Du Wenqiang hurriedly browsed. This is a test article about a game called " ".

"" translated into Chinese is called "Witchcraft", Du Wenqiang is somewhat impressed. This is a computer RPG (role-playing) game developed by an American game company in 1981. When the game was released, the platform of choice was the series PC.

When the game was first released, Du Wenqiang also bought a copy of the game and installed it on his computer to try it out a few times. However, in his opinion, this game has a weak plot and simple graphics, and it is not as fun as games such as "Tank Wars" and "Mario Brothers", which were transcribed from arcades into computer games, so Du Wenqiang didn't take it to heart.

"Mr. Li, I played this game at the time, and neither the graphics nor the plot were very good!" Du Wenqiang said truthfully.

"Genesis", "Witchcraft" and "Might and Magic" are known as the three most classic RPG games in the early European and American era. They defined elements such as dungeon exploration, first-person perspective, open-ended, etc., which influenced later RPG games for decades and became the traditional style of European and American RPGs.

The first two are not well-known among later generations of domestic players due to the lack of official agents ~www.readwn.com~. However, the most classic 6 and 7 generations of the "Might and Magic" series have been introduced into China for Chinese distribution and won countless fans. The "Heroes Invincible" series of turn-based strategy games derived from "Might and Magic" was once popular in China.

But whether it is "Genesis" or "Witchcraft", like all current computer games, it is subject to the lack of computer configuration, and the picture is rough and backward. The so-called role-playing game does not have the grand and delicate game screen like the later RPG games. When fighting monsters, it is actually the avatar of the player-controlled character displayed on the computer screen, and then several rows of attribute data, equipment, and skill information on the right.

Players attack by entering special commands, and there will be text on the side to display the attack results. Taking "Witchcraft" as an example, if the player chooses the profession of magician, every time a magic attack is performed, the player needs to use the keyboard to input the magic name. For example, "Frostbolt", "Fireball", etc., this method has been retained until "Witchcraft 5".

"I'm not asking you about the shortcomings of computer games, but what are their advantages. Now I'll give you one day to go back to analyze and think, and come and give me a satisfactory answer tomorrow!"

Li Xuan waved his hand to indicate that Du Wenqiang can leave. (To be continued..)
