Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 449 Rong Nianqing and Jian Xiaojie's Preparations (Please Subscribe)
When asked by Lü Yao, Yang Qi and Feng Ji exchanged a glance and smiled, saying, "We have not only completed the preliminary preparations, but also basically completed the framework of the first chapter of the single-player game, and the game content is about 20% complete."

Lü Yao laughed and said, "I'll go play it later and take a look at your game outline."

In fact, for Lü Yao, the "Black Monkey" game made by the Youke team was just so-so. Although it had many innovative gameplay elements, the production took too long, resulting in a rushed and unsatisfactory ending. The Soulslike gameplay also lacked originality. Based on Lü Yao's experience, "Black Monkey" could have been much better.

The reason why "Black Monkey" became a phenomenon of the year is naturally inseparable from its narrative. In fact, compared to the gameplay, Lü Yao believes that its fan-created storyline is more attractive.

Whether it's the unfortunate Fourth Sister or the Yellow Eyebrows of Xiaoxitian, they have brought a lot of emotions to the audience and players. So much so that even half a year after Black Monkey was launched, internet fan creations about Black Monkey still pop up from time to time.

After the executive meeting ended, Lü Yao was among the first to try out the "Black Monkey" game.

With more manpower, more resources, and more funding, Feng Ji and his team completed the "Black Monkey" project at a fast pace. What surprised Lü Yao was that the game content was similar to what he had experienced when he was studying abroad in the future, and the differences in a few details did not affect the original plot development at all.

This shows that the concept of the game "Black Monkey" had been around for a long time.

This is a continuation of "Dou Zhan Shen" and a continuation of their youth.

After playing the game, Lü Yao exclaimed, "In terms of game quality, I can only say it's very good, but the gameplay is a bit thin. Although the main character's skill system is quite extensive, its application is somewhat limited. This aspect could be expanded more."

"Those gameplay elements don't need to be explicitly shown, but players need to be able to perceive them themselves, figure them out, and then develop more different playstyles. This can effectively extend the lifespan of the game."

Feng Ji fell into deep thought upon hearing Lü Yao's words.

Lu Yao continued, "I know that single-player games don't have a long lifespan, but even single-player games can extend their lifespan as much as possible by enriching their gameplay. You can even embed a mini-game within the game, like The Witcher."

After thinking for a long time, Feng Ji nodded again: "Mr. Lü, your suggestion is indeed very good, but what about the development cycle and funding?"

Lu Yao laughed and said, "Don't worry about funding. As for the development cycle, who says that built-in mini-games have to be huge? Aren't pixel-style mini-games like Stardew Valley quite fun? We can definitely build a mini-game into the game as well. For example, after players complete the game for the first time, they can unlock a secret realm with a game similar to Stardew Valley."

"We can also add some Easter eggs, or even allow players to earn coins in mini-games to exchange for skins, skills, or magical artifacts. Since players have already completed the game, new content can provide a different gaming experience."

Feng Ji's imagination was sparked by Lü Yao, and he was already in a state of flow, rubbing his hands together: "Yeah! Yeah! Oh, excuse me for a moment, I think there's a lot to explore here."

Lu Yao smiled with satisfaction at Feng Ji's state. Working for someone else and fulfilling one's own ideals are two completely different motivations that manifest in one's work.

After Feng Ji hurriedly ran away, Lü Yao didn't disturb their work any further. After letting everyone go about their own business, he went to attend to his own affairs.

After arranging things at the two companies, Shangnan and Luyao took stock of his current projects.

At the Luoma Lake AI Center, although Lü Yao was the initial initiator, the project was full of official traces from the beginning. Once industrial AI began to demonstrate its strong potential in industrial process design and industrial assembly line standard optimization, the Luoma Lake AI Data Center project had little to do with Lü Yao in terms of management.

However, the funds needed for profit sharing have been increasing year by year.

In 2018, Dongda was already the world's number one industrial power. Its comprehensive industrial system allowed Dongda to dominate the competition for international orders. As a result, the first thing Dongda's foreign trade companies did when going overseas was often to reduce the price of similar products to around 50% of the original price.

Even so, Dongda's foreign trade companies still managed to make a profit.

As for overseas companies, whether they follow or not is not important to Dongda's foreign trade company, but whether they are there or not is very important to Dongda's foreign trade company.

The unreasonable and violent price war tactics employed by Tokyo University have drawn the ire of many foreign companies, to the point that some bloggers, from an international perspective, have argued that Tokyo University's actions are detrimental to both itself and others... This is utter nonsense.

That's how business competition works. If you can't do it, you're out. What's the point of criticizing from a subjective perspective? Some people even have underdeveloped brains and say that the University of Tokyo can do this because of its extremely cheap labor... The University of Tokyo's labor is indeed cheap.

But the University of Tokyo has long since moved beyond the era of relying on cheap labor to open up foreign trade markets—what price advantage can those manually made products have compared to those produced by intelligent, mechanized assembly lines? The University of Tokyo is able to produce so many high-quality, low-priced products because of the improvement in its industrial capabilities and systems.

in contrast.

As intelligent automated production lines continue to be introduced into various factories, the "cheap labor" mentioned by online bloggers has actually been rapidly optimized.

Just like during the Industrial Revolution in Britain, textile machines replaced female textile workers.

The elimination of many low-end jobs and the inability of people from the old era to find their place in the new era are the root causes of the huge rift in the future economic development of Dongda University.

Thanks to Southeast University's rapidly upgrading industrial system, the Luoma Lake AI Data Center has made a fortune in recent years.

So now he's like holding a money tree in his hand, doing nothing and receiving huge profits every year, but he has also lost the right to manage the Luoma Lake AI Center.

Apart from the Luoma Lake AI Center, Lu Yao of Weiguang International is now completely unable to get involved.

Security at Weiguang International is now ridiculously tight, to the point that it can no longer be found on maps. During occasional conversations, Lü Yao even heard that Weiguang International has multiple branch factories. As for where Dr. Liang and his R&D team are, even Rong Nianqing couldn't say for the time being.

Lu Yao also made corresponding arrangements for the remaining drone R&D companies and mobile phone R&D and manufacturing companies.

In the future, the importance of drones will continue to increase due to changes in the international situation, especially in their application in warfare. Dongda University's drones are unparalleled, placing them among the world's top players. Therefore, while Huanxie Technology is currently focusing on the civilian drone camera field, in a few years…

Who knows if the drones from MagicTech still have cameras mounted on them?

As for the mobile phone R&D company, starting with the Geek 2, Lü Yao has been promoting the independent operation of the Geek phone brand. With solid materials and a truly well-designed operating system, each generation of Geek phones has received a lot of praise.

The price has remained at around 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. At this price, most consumers can only buy entry-level Apple or Samsung phones, but the entry-level Geek Phone is already comparable to their top-of-the-line models.

In terms of user interface, Lv Yao's interface is more refined and smoother than Android's, and has more features than Apple's... This has successfully attracted many consumers.

Lü Yao has already laid out the development direction for the next few generations of Geek Phones.

Before going abroad, Lü Yao prepared almost everything he could in advance.

Amidst the busy preparations, time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of May.

Late May 2018...

The time for the Global Economic Cooperation Conference is drawing ever closer.

Having prepared everything he could in advance, Lü Yao suddenly found himself with nothing to do.

It was only when Lü Yao had some free time that Rong Nianqing found him.

……

On the first day of June, Lü Yao received a message from Rong Nianqing.

Rong Nianqing: "Are you free?"

Lu Yao replied with his usual high emotional intelligence: "I'm always available whenever President Rong needs me."

Being a little glib and humble in front of close friends and family is always a good thing; those who truly get along with you will always be satisfied with your attitude. Conversely, if this humility doesn't earn you the respect you deserve, you can easily tell whether the other person is worth continuing to befriend.

People who are mentally strong and capable share a similar consensus on this point.

Therefore, in daily interactions, although everyone has different personality traits, their core values ​​are similar.

Rong Nianqing smiled upon hearing Lü Yao's reply, "Then I'll have to trouble you to come over, Mr. Lü. I'll give you the address."

Soon, Lü Yao received a location on his phone.

This address is in the old town of Shangnan, in an old residential compound that has been around for many years. Next door is the former Shangnan Special Police Brigade.

When Lü Yao drove there, he found Rong Nianqing, Jian Xiaojie, and even Rong Nianqing's uncle Rong Zhijian. After Lü Yao greeted them one by one, Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "You'll be going abroad in a little over a week. All the necessary procedures for your departure have been completed. I asked you to come here today so that you can get to know the security team that will be going abroad with you."

As they talked, Lü Yao and Rong Nianqing arrived at the community activity center in the compound.

At the community activity center, Lü Yao saw that a number of people had gathered in the lobby, some sitting and some standing.

Among these people, Lü Yao recognized three of them. They were the skilled bodyguards that Boss Wang had specially sent to protect Lü Yao. There were two men and one woman, and they were all very experienced. Unexpectedly, Rong Nianqing and Rong Zhijian had also called them over.

Lu Yao nodded to them as a greeting.

Then Rong Nianqing introduced the other people to Lü Yao.

Rong Nianqing first pointed to a girl in the room with shoulder-length short hair who looked very well-behaved and said, "This is Yang Tongtong, who is in charge of your network communication security. Don't let Tongtong's young age fool you, she is very good at communication technology."

Yang Tongtong placed her hands in front of her and bowed slightly to greet Lü Yao, saying, "Hello, Mr. Lü."

Lü Yao smiled and said, "Hello to you as well."

Rong Nianqing then introduced another group of people, two men and two women, who were professional bodyguards. This group had a very unique combination.

One couple was exceptionally beautiful, the kind of beautiful who could walk the runway as models; the other couple was very ordinary-looking, the kind of ordinary that you could easily overlook at first glance and forget in the blink of an eye.

But all four of them have one thing in common—they are all very tall, even the women among them are slightly taller than Lü Yao.

Lü Yao is 183 cm tall! For a woman to be that tall...

Lu Yao approached the group of four, looked them up and down, and laughed, "Wow, I feel very safe here."

Jian Xiaojie laughed and said, "That way, when they surround you to protect you, it will be easier for them to shield you."

Lü Yao was somewhat speechless.

Although it was what bodyguards were supposed to do, Lü Yao still bowed slightly to the four people in front of him and said earnestly, "I'll have to trouble you with this from now on."

After Rong Nianqing introduced the security personnel, she introduced the remaining two people to Lü Yao.

Both women were very beautiful, each with her own unique and striking beauty. Although they gave off completely different vibes, Lü Yao felt a strong sense of familiarity with them—they were just like Liu Mulin.

Rong Nianqing said, "One of these two is fluent in multiple languages ​​and will be your personal translator. The other is proficient in international trade rules and is also very good at negotiation and information interpretation. I believe they can be of great help to you."

In short, this was the strategist Rong Nianqing arranged for Lü Yao.

After Rong Nianqing finished her introduction, Jian Xiaojie added, "Once you arrive abroad, you can contact the person on the business card. This person is trustworthy and will be responsible for your perimeter security when you attend conferences abroad. The security radius is half a kilometer."

Just as Lü Yao reached out to take the business card Jian Xiaojie handed him, Jian Xiaojie presented him with another black business card with gold lettering. This card only had a string of English words that Lü Yao didn't recognize, and no other information.

Jian Xiaojie said, "This is an electronic identification card. Through special software, a virtual network address is generated every time you approach it. After entering the network IP, you can enter a chat room. If you encounter a problem that is difficult to solve, you can call this number."

"But remember this!"

Jian Xiaojie said seriously, "This person cannot be trusted."
