i really just want to play games

Chapter 301
It's another year of CJ, and Shangjing is still too hot.

The July sun shines on the asphalt roads of this coastal city, and the water vapor from the sea is abundant, causing a faint mist to spread over the city.

Viewed from a very high altitude, most of the buildings in the city have been covered in fog, with only the tops of the skyscrapers emerging from the fog, like lonely gods standing in the clouds.

But this super-large city is still extremely prosperous, and the density of pedestrians and vehicles passing through it proves that the city is extremely prosperous every day.

As a super first-tier city in China, the most popular thing about Shangjing is that many various exhibitions held in China will be held here, and there is a joke that there is only one city in China called Shangjing.

It's another year of CJ Expo, and now this exhibition has been held for more than [-] years. It is considered a time-honored brand, and its influence is gradually increasing with the development of the domestic game industry.

At 09:30 in the morning, Chen Tiancai had already arrived at the hall of CJ Exhibition, and was invited by Teng Yi's Zhao Yong to his temporary office, probably to discuss something.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Tiancai saw old acquaintances, Zhang Yang, the boss of his old company Chaoyang Network, and Liu Cheng, his former supervisor.

After seeing these two people, Chen Tiancai shook hands with them one by one, and the relationship was as close as usual.

There were four or five other people. Chen Tiancai looked familiar. They should all be in the game industry, and they had met in the news or interviews.

In fact, the game industry in Shanghai has always been inferior to Yangcheng. After all, Tengyi and Netcom have their headquarters in Yangcheng, but CJ Expo is an official exhibition in Shanghai, which represents the national and local attention to this industry.

Although Shangjing's manufacturing and financial industries are more prosperous, South Korea's experience comes first, so Shangjing's support for the video game industry has never been low.

These colleagues must have come to Shangjing at the official invitation. After seeing Chen Tiancai, a big celebrity in recent years, they all smiled and nodded to him.

Although there are more bosses in the game industry who want more money, there are also some old programmers who stick to their duties and concentrate on games. Therefore, this small meeting before the exhibition does not have any tense negotiations or financial competition with each other. , or to show off the good sales of their games.

On the contrary, under Zhao Yong's leadership, everyone just sat down and chatted like friends, and talked about their recent situation before getting into the topic.

"Everyone, since we all know each other, let's talk nonsense later. Let's talk about business first, otherwise my boss will hear about it later and will definitely deduct my salary." Zhao Yong joked happily.

An old programmer named Zhu also made a joke to Zhao Yong and said: "If your boss Ma deducts your salary, you will resign directly. I will talk to my boss later and recruit you directly!"

"Haha, Lao Zhu, aren't you afraid that I'll become your boss instead?" Zhao Yong laughed.

Another person surnamed Jing answered directly: "Look at what Lao Zhu looks like now, he doesn't look like the four most beautiful men in the school back then. It's a pity that the school belle finally married him!"

Chen Tiancai was eating melon on the side, feeling that being able to overhear the gossip of these big guys made this trip worthwhile.

Zhao Yong pressed his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, it's almost here, let's talk about business."

"Everyone has met Xiao Chen, as well as Zhang Yang and Liu Cheng from Chaoyang. The three of them have already established a stand-alone game association. This time I am asking everyone on behalf of Mr. Teng Yi."

"Are you interested in joining this association together and working together to develop more and more high-quality stand-alone games?"

Zhao Yong directly stated the purpose of coming, and then he leaned back on the chair, took a sip of fragrant tea, and waited for the answers from these old friends.

His work history is very rich. At the dawn of the domestic game industry, that is, in the 90s, he started developing games with his classmates when he was in college.

Judging from what they were chatting about just now, Chen Tiancai already knew that the person named Zhu and Jing was probably one of Zhao Yong's classmates back then.

Zhao Yong got the first pot of gold in his life by relying on this game developed in college. It was acquired by a domestic new game company and gave him a full 30 yuan.

This amount of money was not a small amount at the time. Chen Tiancai estimated that according to the purchasing power at that time, the 30 was at least ten times less than it is now.

Later, Zhao Yong started to work in this company because of the agreement, but at that time the domestic game market had just emerged and encountered policy difficulties, so this company focusing on stand-alone games closed down soon.

Then, in order to make a living or to continue his ideals, although Zhao Yong is still in the game industry, he has not been involved in stand-alone games. It was not until ten years ago when Tengyi was in full swing and started to implement some new strategies that he was dug out. come over.

Judging from Zhao Yong's resume at the beginning of his life, he still has a lot of affection for stand-alone games, at least from his current department and position in Tengyi.

The silence at the scene was quickly broken, and Lao Zhu was the first to ask: "I've already learned about the stand-alone association. If Teng Yi's joining is just to promote it, there is no problem on my side."

Zhao Yong nodded, and then said: "Teng Yi will not interfere with other things, and if you need money or technical support, we will use the revenue from the game as compensation."

He laughed immediately after he finished speaking, and continued: "I guess it mainly depends on who is short of money. When it comes to technology, of course Xiao Chen and the others are good. After all, we Tengyi are just starting to get in touch with the third generation of the world engine."

All the bosses present turned their heads to Chen Tiancai in unison, the eyes on their faces were softer, compared to what they were thinking at the moment was how to get Chen Tiancai to contribute some good skills.

Chen Tiancai was not intimidated by the gazes of the crowd. He said directly: "First of all, I am very grateful for your love. Anthem Network can achieve today's results, and there are also innate conditions for the seniors to open up this market. Without you cultivating so many talents, Anthem Network would not be able to do so. Impossible to have today."

"This kid! Haha, he's saying that the company of our old guys can't keep people!" Mr. Jing laughed, and the harsh words were not so unpleasant.

Straightforward speaking is also a characteristic of programmers, and everyone present also laughed.

In recent years, the Anthem network has continued to expand and has absorbed many talents from the industry, many of which have slipped away from the hands of these big guys.

But this is a common thing in the industry. People have their own ambitions. Only the turnover of employees can prove that the industry is booming. Otherwise, it can only prove that the industry has gradually become introverted, and talents cannot even flow.
