The news of the cooperation between Hongyi and Zhou Tianwang is no less than a small earthquake for the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

The entertainment industry has a long history of prejudices about games. This thing is originally unclear. After all, a low-cost web game may be able to get tens of thousands of dollars, but a movie can cost millions of dollars no matter how small it is, so cultural entertainment The circle discrimination chain is really not true.

However, in general, the "coffee position" in the game circle is not comparable to the film and television industry, especially the top cafe like Zhou Tianwang.

Therefore, everyone in the circle is basically guessing at what price level Hongyi paid the endorsement fee to make Zhou Tianwang "succumb."

But who would have thought that Hongyi didn't pay a dime, and even Fang Xi exchanged autographs with Zhou Tianwang, and they had a very happy conversation?

Zhou Tuohai got the skin he likes, Fang Xi got the endorsement he wanted, and he also earned a new series of skins for free, and he was almost certain of the series that could sell well: Zhou Tianwang was in charge, so it’s not too difficult. Rong, Fang Xi felt that Heavenly King Zhou would definitely not mind attaching his own signature to the other skins of this team, wouldn't it be that the tickets were rolling in?

It looks like a win-win situation, but Fang Xi actually made a lot of money.

"Boss, are you happy?" Lu Tao, who was driving, couldn't help but interrupt when Fang Xi was still calculating the profit.

"?" Fang Xi looked up suspiciously: "What are you talking about? I must be happy when I make money."

"But I think." Lu Tao concentrated on driving, and he wanted to send Fang Xi to the airport to Feihai Fangshi.

"I think Zhou Tianwang didn't make any money, but he was happier."

Fang Xi was silent for a while and felt unable to refute it.

Lu Tao continued:

"In ancient times in our country, each age group had a code name. Among them, they were 70 years old. Saint Kong said that people at this age can do what they want."

"I think Zhou Tianwang's realm is almost the same as it is now. He only cares about his happy things, making money, work, and so on."

"This is probably the attitude of the real rich. Boss, you are not a rich man like Zhou Tianwang."

Fang Xi was stunned after hearing this, but quickly reacted.

"Then you also want to do what you want? I think you don't care about salary at work, right?"

Lu Tao's expression instantly changed from a deep face to a bitter face:

"President Fang, I just skinned it just now, don't worry about it!"

...

It was still Chen Yu who met Fang Xi at the airport. After seeing Lu Tao, who was a bit older, he felt very cordial when he saw Chen Yu and Fang Xi.

"When shall we leave?"

Chen Yu raised his wrist and looked at the following table: "When I was two children, there was a direct plane to Chicago."

Fang Xi nodded, and gestured to the café in the distance with his chin:

"Let's talk over."

One person ordered a cup of mocha, Fang Xi and Fang Xi unbuttoned his neckline and breathed out:

"Let's talk about the specific situation that I understand now."

Without saying anything, Chen Yu took out his laptop from his bag, read the courseware, and reported:

"This time is a studio in Chicago. They have developed an FPS game on the Internet before, and they have a good number of fans. They have explained the technology of Killing Planet. They judged that their members should be kind to us. , And the overall technology of the entire studio is up to standard, and there is no bad record. It is an excellent acquisition target."

"Their leaders have always wanted to transform. This time they encountered a shortage of funds, so they wanted to change hands to this studio. Although our offer is higher, they are more inclined to take over from local companies in North America."

This is also human nature. Some people think that if the boss becomes a foreigner, the future will be uncertain, split up, do something completely unknown, communication obstacles caused by cultural barriers, etc. There are many possible problems.

"So they indicated that they want to talk to me?" Fang Xi pointed to himself.

"Yes." Chen Yu nodded: "On the one hand, it may be because our offer is high, on the other hand, there is also the possibility that they are our fans. There is also a possibility that they want to see similar sincerity because it is slightly lower than our offer. The other company is Vivendi, a French company, and they may have also applied for interviews with people who want to have Vivendi."

Fang Xi pondered for a moment:

"What about Su Luo?"

"She is negotiating with Mirage Industries at an urgent juncture. It is expected that there may be a week before our acquisition of the game studio under Mirage Industries will be completed. For the Chicago studio, she indicated that it is you, she and Communicating with each other to no avail."

"It seems that being too popular is not a good thing?" Fang Xi smiled helplessly.

"Take a break and tell me the details of this studio."

Chen Yu nodded, turned his notebook, and began to explain to Fang Xi one by one.

Two hours passed quickly, and Fang Xi was also relieved. After spending a long time with Lu Tao, Fang Xi really felt that Chen Yu was quite reliable, acting more than words, unexpectedly reliable.

Thinking of this, Fang Xi asked:

"Su Luo and Mirage Industries are negotiating in Los Angeles?" Chen Yu nodded.

"Do you need to let you go to Los Angeles? Chicago, I can go alone." Fang Xi offered to offer.

Chen Yu shook his head solemnly: "Of course not, I also want to guarantee your safety."

Fang Xi couldn't laugh or cry, but Chen Yu immediately said:

"If possible, I hope to apply for a week's leave after work."

Seeing the embarrassed smile on Bingberg's face, Fang Xi laughed.

...

Chicago is a city with American characteristics and historical accumulation. For example, the subway is flooded every time it rains, such as the characteristic light rail that is rarely built in the United States. The whole city has a heavy feeling and will make you feel that there are people all the time. Watching your wallet.

Fang Xi, who wanted to experience the Chicago subway, looked at the spray paint all over the subway, the rattling trains, and the mice running in droves, and he couldn't help but retreat a little.

After taking two commemorative photos, Fang Xi chose to return to the ground to play TAXI with Chen Yu.

The studio they are going to visit this time is a SNAIFKL studio with a history in Chicago. It focuses on FPS and has done strategy games. They have produced more than 30 games, and the entire studio has a slightly older staff. It's an established studio, and it may not be cutting-edge enough, but the current information looks very reliable.

Following the address, two people came to the door of a villa in the suburbs.

"They rented a villa as a studio location?" Fang Xi was a bit envious of the domestic gamers. Most of them rented basements in the country, and it was not a bit of a misfortune.

Chen Yu shrugged: "After all, it is not very expensive, and the accommodation on the second floor and the office on the first floor. If there are not many people, there should be a swimming pool behind the yard."

Then he stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

Fang Xi looked at the spray paint around: Is this really a feature of Chicago in a sense, street punk culture?

Soon the door of the house opened, and a white male who appeared to be in his 30s greeted him and said with a smile:

"Look at who is here. It seems that our Oriental friend is a step forward. Then, this should be our new boss?"

Looking at the big hand reaching out in front of him, Fang Xi:

"what?"
