The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 26 The Weakness of Dream Building

"Unable to speak?"

"Then I'll say it for you!"

Fei Zhiyuan was extremely resentful.

"You went to invite models, but you got into conflicts with them and beat them up, and ended up getting our company blacklisted!"

"Do you think we are just Longteng Fashion? Our reputation in the entire model agency industry has been ruined!"

"You went to recruit an artist, but you didn't even know that he hired a molester!"

"It was not until six female artists resigned in succession that the HR felt something was wrong and investigated privately, only then did they discover that he had spent three years in prison in Izumo!"

"Now HR is complaining to me that they are receiving fewer and fewer resumes from women!"

"Also, after driving this rubbish away, he actually wants us to pay him money!?"

"This is your 'repayment' to me!"

"This is your reward to me!!"

Fei Zhiyuan's chest heaved violently and he became angrier as he spoke.

The assistant was afraid that the boss would get angry and do something bad, so he had to put down the meeting notes and stepped forward to persuade him: "Boss, calm down, don't get angry and hurt your health."

The whole office was dead silent.

Gong Feng, the general manager of "Project X", had to bite the bullet and come out to explain.

There is no way to wash away the blame for the model's crime, and the person who provoked the conflict was the deputy he promoted himself, so it is not good to add insult to injury.

So I can only explain the molester:

"Boss, this is indeed an accident."

"We heard that a manga artist who returned from studying abroad in Izumo has joined Dream Builder and has been a great help to the Dream Builder artist team."

"That's why we flew to Izumo to visit the popular illustrator there."

"But those painters are unwilling to go abroad. Only Hashimoto Seigo is willing to come to Xiaguo to work."

"We were careless..."

Gong Feng’s reasons are quite sufficient.

But Fei Zhiyuan didn't want to listen at all——

"Nonsense!" he shouted angrily, "He is a molester and can't make it in Izumo, so of course he is willing to come to Xia Country!!"

"Have you ever thought about why he is the only one who is willing to do so while others are not?!"

This is absolutely true.

This made Gong Feng speechless.

He was indeed careless. The background check step should not have been skipped out of haste.

"Sorry, boss. It was our mistake at work. We will go to Izumo tomorrow and find a talented painter with a clean identity." Gong Feng quickly assured his boss.

Fei Zhiyuan was furious and waved his hand, saying, "No need."

"Why go to Izumo?"

"Dream Building already has some ready-made ones, just go dig them!"

Gong Feng looked embarrassed, "Boss, we have tried to dig them out, but we couldn't dig out Ding Nian who drew the harmony or Tang Ya who joined."

"Eleven headhunting companies have already failed in their attempts to recruit this person and have given up on this commission."

Fei Zhiyuan didn't care: "Don't focus on digging with just one or two people."

"Look at how many characters there are in the trailer? Is that something that can be done by one or two people?"

"As long as they are painters who build dreams, I will recruit them without any discrimination!"

"Offer double the salary and dig as much as you can."

"But..." Gong Feng hesitated, "What if the level of the recruits is not good enough?"

"Then we can lay them off in two months." Fei Zhiyuan said nonchalantly, "Based on the production capacity of Dream Building, all their employees are very willing to work overtime, so they won't lose much in one or two months."

Gong Feng said nothing more and nodded to take on the task.

Not only did he accept it, he also went a step further and asked, "Then do you want to poach their modeling and animation people as well?"

If he could dismantle the Dream Building team, his biggest enemy would disappear, and his subsequent work would be much easier.

But Fei Zhiyuan thought about it for a moment and refused.

"The modelers and animators at DreamCraft are just more willing to work overtime. Our team can't be less hardworking than a new company, right?"

When your boss asks you if you work hard, do you have any other answer?

"Of course not!" Gong Feng shook his head decisively.

Fei Zhiyuan nodded.

Although he was still angry, his mouth entered the second stage faster than his heart.

“You did have a lot of problems in your work in May, and the new project also encountered more challenges.”

"But every coin has two sides, and we also need to see the great opportunities."

"The trailer of Dream Building has caused a huge response among players, which just proves that there is no problem with the general direction of our new project and it does have a broad market space." "Dream Building is just a little ahead of us temporarily."

"The one who runs first doesn't win, the one who laughs last is the winner."

……

After a long paragraph of preparation, Fei Zhiyuan changed the subject and said, "You must realize that Dream Building has a huge weakness—"

“There is a shortage of funds.”

"They are almost going bankrupt now. Even if they can survive this time, they won't have enough funds."

“Not only will it be more difficult to retain excellent employees, but it will also put us at a disadvantage when launching a publicity campaign!”

"It has been four months since the public beta of Project Frost and Snow was launched. Everyone can see that they are incompetent and powerless in promoting the project."

"Look at the current trailer. Their main propaganda base is actually in the glimmer?"

“Even passers-by know that second-hand game users are concentrated on P station!”

"What did they do? The video was mosaiced from beginning to end, and it was even blocked after just a few minutes of being posted!"

"Not only is the ability limited, but the connections are completely absent."

At this point, he took out his phone and opened the P station's hot list to show everyone -

"They can't even make it to the 24-hour hot list!"

Fei Zhiyuan looked at everyone and concluded decisively:
"Just promoting yourself is not enough, and you keep making stupid moves! If you really start a propaganda war with us, you will undoubtedly be a useless person who will collapse at the first touch!"

"So, don't have any psychological pressure, just let it go and do it."

"We will definitely be the final winner."

"When the time comes, promotions, salary increases and bonuses will all be given, and none of them can be missed!"

Criticism - encouragement - encouragement - empty promises.

All in one go.

Everyone present suddenly understood, and showed just the right amount of excitement and anticipation.

But when the boss announced the adjournment of the meeting and they stood up to leave the conference room, the expressions on their faces quickly disappeared and they returned to the office with downcast faces.

It's not that I don't believe what the boss says, but——

If they finally win by spending money, it means they are completely unable to beat DreamChina in other aspects.

The money for the publicity was paid by the boss, so the credit naturally goes to the boss.

Do you still want promotion, salary increase and bonus at that time?
Stop dreaming!

Just go to a marginal project and sit on the bench.

Do you really think that the boss can fulfill all the promises he makes?

……

……

Everyone in the conference room left, leaving Fei Zhiyuan alone.

He browsed the comment section of the trailer for "Project Frost" and fell into deep thought after reading the expectant messages from players.

Most of what he said to his employees was sincere.

——He was indeed confident enough to defeat Dream Building through publicity.

However, once the marketing war begins, a lot of money will need to be burned. Even if Konjac Games is a second-tier game company in the first tier of the industry, it will still hurt to take out this money.

So he had never thought about this idea before.

But now, the response to the trailer of "Frost and Snow" in the second-game circle has indeed exceeded expectations, and the players' reactions are positive enough.

In Fei Zhiyuan's eyes, this means that the risk of the new project has been greatly reduced and it is time to make additional investments.

Zhumeng was the first to try it out, and although it seized the initiative, it also helped Mo Mo to avoid risks.

However, the advantage that DreamHub has seized is completely unable to make up for its shortcomings in marketing.

As long as the new Konjac Game project comes to the fore, with funding that is dozens of times that of Dream Building, it will be easy to defeat Dream Building from the two dimensions of marketing and team and dominate the market!

“They are still too young and don’t understand the importance of marketing to second-tier tourists.”

Fei Zhiyuan shook his head, exited the comment section of the trailer, and prepared to get up and leave.

But when the app jumped back to the homepage, a video was suddenly pushed in front of him——

[I, Qihuahua, reject the promotion order of "Frost and Snow Plan" with my real name!]
Fei Zhiyuan stopped what he was doing and raised his eyebrows with interest.

"Is the marketing team of DreamZhu so bad? Not only did they fail to reach a cooperation agreement, but they also offended them?"

"They've even started posting videos to protest. The offense is serious..."

He happily clicked on the video, wanting to see what stupid thing the DreamZhu marketing team had done again.
