Chapter 11 Life is just the best
At the same time as Zhang Zhenliang and He Tao talked about tea, the central conference room of Linhai International Conference Center was full. There are many people at the meeting today, but most of them are from various game companies, who account for at least half of the total number of people in the venue. The rest are those who always sit upright, whose names are stuffed with red paper on the plastic table, with drinking water and fruit in front of them.
These people looked blankly at the white curtain in the center of the conference center, and the slides were turning over one by one.
The bidding is basically covered with the shells of game companies. One or two of the participants of these game companies always look less like employees of game companies. These people are the core figures of the real bidding. They may come from certain positions or may just be spectators. In short, when listening to the PPT speech, their expressions were more serious and focused than those sitting on both sides of the long table in the inner circle.
Zhang Chao is participating in such an occasion for the first time, and the eyes around him are inevitably a little uneasy. Sitting next to Zhang Chao are Yu Zheng and Xiaoqing dressed as adults, as well as two middle-aged people who are slightly older. Yu Zheng didn't even introduce who these two middle-aged people were to Zhang Chao, and asked Zhang Chao to master the whole explanation process. Look at the meaning that these two are just personal meat* or something.
What is being talked about is a company that claims to have hired a famous Japanese game producer. The scale of the company is amazing, with more than 100 employees, and the games it has made include several sports games that have been popular. Because the scope of the game content in this bidding is very narrow, the game content given by this company basically has no innovation. It directly took out a war-themed game, which vigorously eulogizes a group of people and criticizes the other side of power by the way.
This is a typical example of learning film and television themes in recent years. The advantage of doing so is that it is easy to pass the review, and the disadvantage is that it lacks innovation.
The art of the game is very good, and the picture looks exquisite. Unfortunately, because of the content, the head of the cultural department who listened to the lecture made him sleepy.
Zhang Chao couldn't help yawning and secretly asked Yu Zheng, "Can anyone play this kind of game?"
Yu Zheng sneered and said, "So I've already said that the way of playing is definitely not good. It still matters. It's difficult for other game companies to be selected."
"Can ours work?" When the event came, Zhang Chao was a little nervous, "Why do I start to feel uncertain?"
"Speaking of relationship, we are no worse than anyone." Yu Zheng took Xiaoqing's hand and said that the relationship between the two basically did not avoid outsiders. "The rest is up to you."
Zhang Chao's face was entangled: "Damn it's so stressful. Don't scare me so much."
Yu Zheng laughed in a low voice and said, "Take it easy. The decision is not on you and me, but mainly the adults sitting there fighting with each other."
Zhang Chao nodded. Recently, he has been in contact with Yu Zheng a lot, which made him see the reality of this society a little clearly.
Many times, people can't control their lives or even control themselves, and have to face many compromises.
The relationship between that company is also very strong, and it takes about half of the time to explain more than the standard time. Zhang Chao listened carefully at first. Later, he was embarrassed to yawn. He secretly complained to Yu Zheng, "This is really shameless. Reorganize the words in the online game advertisement and read them. What can you do?"
Yu Zheng spread out his hands: "They are willing to."
This bidding will take a long time, and Yu Zheng's explanation will not be available until the afternoon. During the lunch break, everyone took a bite in the canteen next to the conference center. At this time, no one will really have an appetite except the leaders who make decisions.
Yu Zheng planned to take Zhang Chao to eat something good next to the conference center, but Zhang Chao refused: "I have something to do in the afternoon. Let's have a simple bite. Let's talk about it if it goes well."
I met so many people who were uncomfortable without taking advantage of themselves, and Yu Zheng also felt that Zhang Chao's sincere personality was quite pleasing.
The canteen of the conference center cannot be opened for free. In fact, the price is not more expensive than any restaurant in Linhai. For the sake of convenience, everyone can endure it. We will take the initiative to provide formal catering* for everyone, which is also quite caring for those company representatives.
Yu Zheng and two middle-aged people who had been silent went to buy food, leaving Zhang Chao and Xiaoqing to sit and wait. Zhang Chao still looked around with a little mood of Grandma Liu and found that many people were also observing themselves.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this. No matter how Zhang Chao and Yu Zheng dress up, they are still young, and it is natural to be noticed frequently. Zhang Chao had a little hair at the beginning, but he felt quite calm after being seen too much. He drank lemonade and asked Xiaoqing, "Can you make a picture today?"
Xiaoqing's impression of Zhang Chao is also good, which is a psychological advantage. She doesn't like Su Yifan because the beauty around the boy is always better than herself and often squeezes Yu Zheng. In contrast, Zhang Chao's family is more ordinary and his performance is not so aggressive. Compared with Su Yifan, Xiaoqing thinks that Yu Zheng should have more contact with people like Zhang Chao.
"I don't think I can do it today. I need six buffer times for you." Xiaoqing rarely patiently explained to others, "Whether it's spending money or interpersonal relationships, you should leave at least two weeks for everyone to do activities."
Zhang Chao is a little unimportant: "That means that the product itself is not important? Is my speech useless?
Xiaoqing wanted to nod, but felt that it seemed a little cruel to admit it. She could only say, "Yu Zheng thinks the content is still very important. Anyway, everyone has a division of labor. Just be yourself.
After that restaurant disturbance, Xiaoqing's personality has also changed, and now it is not so easy to get into many things. Once upon a time, Xiaoqing herself did not think about it. Finally, one day she would comfort others with words, and she was still an otaku who had no intersection with her life.
Yu Zheng has finished queuing and came back and asked with a smile, "What are we talking about?"
When Xiaoqing saw Yu Zheng, she would be in a particularly good mood. She stood up to greet him and said, "I'm talking about those competing companies."
Yu Zheng's eyes swept around the restaurant and whispered, "Actually, there are not many opponents. Don't be under any pressure."
Zhang Chao was a little uncertain: "Why do I think others don't look at me with kindness?"
"Of course." Yu Zheng smiled and said, "Blocking people's wealth is like killing your parents. You have committed this. Who will please you?"
Zhang Chao felt a little bored: "Is this called competition? It's really boring..."
Yu Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "Of course it's boring. Making money is rarely interesting."
"Su Yifan's story is quite interesting." Zhang Chao doesn't agree with this statement, "I think he is quite relaxed."
When it comes to Su Yifan and Yu Zheng, he doesn't know what to say. He can only sigh, "Of course he is relaxed. That's free competition. You can do whatever you want. Like now, everyone has to pretend to be a grandson. In the end, it depends on who pretends to be good.
When the meal came, several people began to eat. Halfway through the meal, Zhang Chao pointed to the person next to a six-person table not far away and asked, "Is that also a bid?" Why didn't I see it in the morning?
Yu Zheng took a look and said, "That's later. Sitting behind us, it's normal that you didn't see it."
Zhang Chao was a little excited: "Do you know who that is?"
Yu Zheng shook his head: "I don't know."
"That's A Hai, a particularly awesome person in the game world." Zhang Chao was a little excited, "He actually came to participate in this kind of thing?"
"It should have been tied to the warship." Yu Zheng guessed, "People who are really large game companies won't care about this little money. They earn more than they sell *."
Zhang Chao nodded: "It's also possible... A Hai is very powerful. The games he planned are all good, and he is a star in the game circle."
Yu Zheng couldn't help looking at Ah Hai more: "A very powerful?"
Zhang Chao nodded: "Damn, I want to go there and ask for an autograph, but forget it..."
"You should talk to him one after another in the afternoon." Yu Zheng doesn't want Zhang Chao to do such a shameful thing. "Are you confident?"
Zhang Chao originally wanted to say no, but when he looked at the expressions of Yu Zheng and Xiaoqing, he suddenly felt that the so-called game industry leader was not so unattainable. He was a little arrogant and nodded and said, "Yes!"
Yu Zheng smiled and said, "That's good. Go back after eating. It's our turn in the afternoon."
The rest time at noon was shorter than expected, and the leaders had limited time. Several speakers in the afternoon were told not to exceed the prescribed time. Zhang Chao ranked second in the afternoon, which is also a pretty good ranking.
When entering together, Yu Zheng whispered, "I hope they didn't drink at noon."
Zhang Chao didn't have much experience. He was surprised to hear this: "What do you say?"
"If you drink too much, you won't understand what you're saying." Yu Zheng said, "Although everyone has to work hard on this occasion, it's more troublesome if you really don't listen to anything."
Zhang Chao suddenly looked bitter: "I have a very poor character, and I can't lose my equipment."
Yu Zheng's face was neat, and he was wearing a suit and had the style of a successful person at this time.
"Life games are different from that."
Zhang Chao said nothing more, but also tended to return to his position, holding the remote control for PPT demonstration in his hand, and his palms were sweating.
Yu Zheng found Zhang Chao's nervousness and whispered, "Don't be nervous. Think about when we rehearse."
Zhang Chao did not calm down immediately as Yu Zheng hoped, but looked at A Hai, who walked to the central platform of the conference room and said, "I don't think I can speak better than him."
Yu Zheng took a deep breath and tried to persuade him, "Then think about Su Yifan, what he did that someone was not doing at the same time, how could he do it?"
Zhang Chao remembered the good friend who often played games with him. Although the boy's phone had been turned off for a long time, he still felt that the guy seemed to have met him yesterday.
Yes, it was Su Yifan who brought himself to this road. Will he be calm if he encounters such a thing now? Will he be as promising as himself?
Thinking about it, Zhang Chao slowly spread out his painful palm.
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Most of life is just these two words.
