I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 119 New Boss Moving
Smartphone games such as "Temple Run" and "Fruit Ninja" are mainly aimed at the European and American markets.

Piracy is rampant in China, and not many people are willing to spend money to download games. The most they can earn is some advertising fees.

Since we want to make money in overseas markets, we must focus on the feelings of European and American users. The characters, monster images, and buildings in the game must conform to Western aesthetics.

At the same time, we should also learn more about the preferences of European and American players and understand what kind of games they like to play.

After clarifying the company's current main tasks, Li Xu began to assign work.

Let Shi Lidong come up with a complete planning plan for "Temple Run" as soon as possible based on the brief ideas and designs he wrote, including game programming, technical implementation, level design, character setting, etc.

If you have any technical issues, you can discuss them with Chen Yuhui.

Wu Huiling and another outsourced concept artist were assigned to jointly design the entire art plan for the game.

The remaining Chen Yuhui and Jiang Tao were responsible for making a list of computer equipment that needed to be purchased, as well as receiving and installing the computers.

Li Xu did not give a long speech or talk too much. He held a meeting for more than ten minutes. After explaining the main affairs of the company clearly, he announced the adjournment of the meeting and let everyone go back to their work.

Chen Yuhui, Shi Lidong and others stood up and prepared to return to their respective workstations.

At this time, Wu Huiling looked at Li Xu and said hesitantly, "Mr. Li, you are the great author Li Xu, right?"

"You are talking about the Li Xu who wrote "Lord of Mysteries", which should be me." Li Xu was a little surprised and said to Wu Huiling with a smile.

"Mr. Li, you really are the great Li Xu. No wonder you looked so familiar to me when I saw you on the day of the interview." Wu Huiling said excitedly.

She is a fan of "Lord of Mysteries" and has joined the fan group, where she has seen Li Xu's photo.

"Mr. Li, are you really the great writer Li Xu? I particularly like the "Lord of Mysteries" and "The Tao of Strange Immortals" you wrote." Jiang Tao looked at Li Xu and said in surprise and excitement.

Chen Yuhui and Shi Lidong looked confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"Mr. Li, are you still writing books?" Chen Yuhui asked curiously.

"Mr. Li is an online writer, and a top-notch author. He earns millions in royalties a year, and even the media has interviewed him." Jiang Tao excitedly explained to Chen Yuhui and Shi Lidong.

He is also a fan of Li Xu. He has watched "Lord of Mysteries" and "The Taoist Immortal", but they were pirated versions.

The interview he was referring to was Sohu Entertainment's online interview with Li Xu and Liu Xin. Jiangning TV's exclusive interview with the two has not yet been broadcast.

After hearing Jiang Tao's words, Chen Yuhui and Shi Lidong's eyes suddenly changed when they looked at Li Xu, and their eyes were full of surprise and joy.

"Mr. Li, I didn't know you are so good at writing books." Shi Lidong said with a smile, looking admiring.

After learning that Li Xu was a top online writer with an annual income of several million, both Chen Yuhui and Shi Lidong were very surprised.

Not only them, Wu Huiling and Jiang Tao were the same, they all felt pleasantly surprised.

With a boss like Li Xu, the prospects of the small company Zhangyou Technology seem to have suddenly become brighter. At least they don't have to worry about the company's financial problems.

With Li Xu's income, it is more than enough to maintain such a small game company, and it is even more impossible for him to withhold their wages.

Chen Yuhui, Shi Lidong and others' biggest concern before was that Li Xu was just a rich second-generation who started a business for fun, and would give up halfway once he used up all the money given by his family.

If the company goes bankrupt within two months, they will not only have to find a new job, but may also be owed wages.

For ordinary workers, the most important thing is whether they can get their wages on time and not be owed. In comparison, the company's development prospects are secondary.

After Li Xu chatted with Wu Huiling, Jiang Tao and others for a few more words, he returned to the inner office.

After sitting down at his desk, looking at the empty table, he felt a little helpless for a moment.

The company was just starting out, and there wasn't much that needed to be handled personally by him as the boss.

No wonder everyone wants to start a business and become a boss. Not only can most of the profits belong to themselves, but they can also freely manage their time, do whatever they want, and leave work whenever they want.

After sitting there for a while, Li Xu took out his Samsung smartphone, clicked on the Angry Birds icon and started playing.

He downloaded this mini-game specifically to experience for himself what was so attractive about it.

In the Apple Store, it costs $0.99 to download such a small game, which is equivalent to RMB 6. However, it can be downloaded for free on the Android platform, and pirated programs do not cost money.

This is also the reason why Li Xu attaches importance to the European and American markets. As long as the game becomes popular and has tens of millions of downloads, it will bring in tens of millions of US dollars or hundreds of millions of RMB in revenue.

Li Xu played "Angry Birds" for a while and then put his phone down. He felt that it was not very interesting and did not find anything fun about this little game.

In his opinion, the only advantage is that it is extremely easy to operate and even a three-year-old child can quickly get started.

Perhaps this is the reason why the game became so popular. It is easy to operate and easy to get started, which means a broad market space.

This should also be fully taken into consideration when developing "Temple Run" and "Fruit Ninja", and the difficulty of the game operation should be reduced as much as possible, the easier it is to get started, the better.

Just as Li Xu was thinking, Chen Yuhui knocked on the wooden partition and walked in. "Mr. Li, the list of equipment to be purchased has been written. You can take a look at it."

As he said this, he placed a list on the desk.

"Okay, I got it. You go and get busy first." Li Xu didn't rush to look at the list on the table, but let Chen Yuhui leave first.

After Chen Yuhui left, he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, taking a glass of water from a disposable paper cup.

There is no coffee or tea in this office, nothing at all. We can only drink water.

When the company really develops in the future, I must hire a secretary first. If there is not even someone to help make tea or pour water, I don’t look like a boss at all.

Thinking of secretaries, Li Xu couldn't help but think of Li Yajie. Her figure must look very attractive in a secretary's uniform.

After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Li Xu picked up the shopping list on the table and looked at it carefully.

Including him as the boss, there are only five people in the company. The equipment that needs to be purchased is mainly five office computers. The work computers of the two programmers Chen Yuhui and Jiang Tao require higher configurations.

In addition, you will also need several smartphones. After all, developing mobile games requires smartphones for testing.

The total cost was only about 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.

After drinking the water, Li Xu threw the disposable cup into the trash can, got up with the shopping list, and went to the outer office area. He said to Chen Yuhui and Jiang Tao:

"Yuhui, and Jiang Tao, you two come with me."

Afterwards, he took Chen Yuhui and Jiang Tao out of the company, went downstairs and got into the car, and went to Huahai Computer City to purchase office computers and mobile phones.

The three of them came to Huahai Building, went to several stores, and spent an hour or two to collect the accessories for five office computers. They then bought two iPhone 4s and three Android smartphones.

After purchasing computers and mobile phones, it was already noon. Li Xu, Chen Yuhui, Jiang Tao, and Zhao Ying found a restaurant to have lunch.

After finishing his meal and returning to the company, Li Xu stayed in the company for another two or three hours, discussing the planning of "Temple Run" with Shi Lidong and Chen Yuhui.

At around 300 p.m., he left work early and took a car out of the company. Li Xu returned to Yingcai College in a Mercedes-Benz E2 and asked Zhao Ying to drive the car directly to the downstairs of Building , the girls' dormitory.

After getting out of the car, Li Xu took out his cell phone and called Luo Jiahui, then leaned against the car and waited quietly.

Such a big Mercedes-Benz parked in front of the girls' dormitory building is extremely eye-catching.

The girls coming in and out of the building all looked at the black Mercedes-Benz in front of them, and Li Xu leaning against the car, with surprise and curiosity.

It was around 5 o'clock in the evening, dinner time, and there were many girls passing by to get their meals.

There were two or three boys standing (squatting) downstairs waiting for their girlfriends, looking at Li Xu with envy and jealousy.

A Mercedes-Benz worth more than 700,000 yuan is so cool.

Li Xu leaned against the car body, looking normal on the surface, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

Normally, he wouldn't drive the car directly to the girls' dormitory building, as he always felt that it would be a bit too pretentious.

This time, taking the opportunity of helping Luo Jiahui move, I can show off a little.

There's nothing you can do about it, he's just a bit vulgar and likes to show off.

As the saying goes: If you don't return home when you're rich, it's like walking in fine clothes at night.

After waiting for five or six minutes, Luo Jiahui still hadn't come down, but Guan Jiayu, Sun Wenjing, Jiang Jingni and others came out of the building together.

Seeing the black Mercedes-Benz in front of him and Li Xu next to the car, he was a little surprised.

"Are you here to pick up your girlfriend?" Guan Jiayu walked up to Li Xu and asked with a smile, while taking a look at the Mercedes-Benz E300.

Li Xu nodded to her and asked, "Are you three going to eat together?"

"Yeah." Guan Jiayu responded, and then seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, I heard that you rented a house and moved out?
"Yes, I moved out yesterday." Li Xu said, glancing at Sun Wenjing beside Guan Jiayu.

As if noticing Li Xu's gaze, Sun Wenjing looked at him and then slightly avoided his gaze.

"Where did you rent the house?" Jiang Jingni interrupted.

"It's in a residential complex not far away, quite close." Seeing that Jiang Jingni and the others mistakenly thought he was renting a house, Li Xu did not explain.

In fact, it wasn't just Jiang Jingni and the others. When he moved out of the dormitory yesterday, Xu Haoyang, Shen Qiang and the others also thought he was renting a house.

"Then can we go and see the house you rented when we have time?" Jiang Jingni asked with a smile again.

"Of course, you are welcome to come at any time." Li Xu also responded with a smile.

Just as they were talking, Luo Jiahui walked out of the building dragging a suitcase.

Two of her roommates, Liu Jiaxin and Wang Ping, who were on good terms with her, followed her downstairs. One helped her carry a suitcase, and the other helped her carry a large handbag.

Even Cao Bingqian, who didn't get along well with her, followed her down.

Knowing that Luo Jiahui was moving out, the three of them came to see her off.

Seeing Luo Jiahui coming out, Guan Jiayu said to Li Xu, "Then we'll go eat first. We won't waste your time."

After saying that, she left with Sun Wenjing and Jiang Jingni.

"What were you talking about with them?" Luo Jiahui walked over dragging her suitcase, took a look at Guan Jiayu and the others leaving, and couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Nothing to talk about." Li Xu smiled, took the suitcase from her hand, and asked, "Have you packed your things?"

Luo Jiahui smiled and nodded, saying, "Just these two suitcases and a bag. I left the rest of the things I don't use often in the dormitory."

As he spoke, he pointed to the suitcases and bags carried by Liu Jiaxin and Wang Ping.

Liu Jiaxin and Wang Ping waved to Li Xu and greeted him with a smile.

Even Cao Bingqian smiled and nodded at Li Xu, and then her eyes involuntarily turned to the Mercedes-Benz E300, with a flash of envy.

Li Xu also smiled and greeted the three of them: "Hello."

Then, he walked to the rear of the Mercedes-Benz E300, opened the trunk, and put the suitcase in his hand, as well as the suitcases and bags carried by Liu Jiaxin and Wang Ping, into the trunk.

After closing the trunk, Li Xu said to Luo Jiahui, "Okay, get in the car."

Luo Jiahui did not rush to get in the car, but hugged Liu Jiaxin and Wang Ping reluctantly and said, "I'm leaving."

"Jiahui, you must come back to the dormitory more often in the future." Liu Jiaxin and Wang Ping both looked reluctant to leave.

Li Xu stood aside and shook his head secretly. He didn't know where the girls were so sentimental.

I'm just moving out of the dormitory, it's not like I'll never see you again.

"Let's go!" Luo Jiahui said hello to Cao Bingqian one last time, with a tone of boasting and pride in her voice, then she opened the back door and got in the car.

Cao Bingqian looked at Luo Jiahui's back, but pretended to be disdainful and said "huh".

Li Xu nodded to Liu Jiaxin, Wang Ping, Cao Bingqian and the others, then opened the other side of the back door and got in the car.

Seeing that Li Xu and Luo Jiahui had both gotten into the car, Zhao Ying, who was sitting in the driver's seat, started the car and slowly drove away from the dormitory area.

In the back seat of the car, Luo Jiahui leaned in Li Xu's arms and said coquettishly, "Why didn't you take me with you when you checked in yesterday?"

"I want to clean up the house first and then pick you up." Li Xu hugged her and explained with a smile.

Yingcai College is very close to Kangqiao Shengfei Community, just across the street. In less than five minutes, the Mercedes-Benz E300 drove into the underground parking lot of the community.

After parking the car, Zhao Ying quickly got out, went to the rear of the car, opened the trunk, and took out the luggage.

Just now at school, she didn't get off the car because Li Xu didn't let her get off to help.

After Li Xu got off the car, he took the suitcase from Zhao Ying and handed it to Luo Jiahui, then took down another suitcase and a handbag.

Afterwards, he said to Zhao Ying, "Xiaoying, there's nothing else to do. You should go home early."

"Or I can help you carry your things upstairs." Zhao Ying said.

"No need, you can go back." Li Xu said to her with a smile.
