Chapter 254

Leaving the warm and humid Spanish coast, Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan transferred to Amsterdam and flew back to Hong Kong.On the way home, Chen Zishan was still a little lost: "Lexing, when will we be able to play in our Neverland?"

"It won't be too long. It may be completed by the end of this year. Then we can go to the island for our honeymoon." Zhang Lexing comforted with a smile.

"What kind of honeymoon? They didn't say they must marry you." Chen Zishan said shyly with a blushing face.

"Ah, that's too bad, then I have to go to the island alone!" Zhang Lexing made a fake expression of surprise, and joked.

"I hate it, I know I'm making fun of people..." Chen Zishan curled her lips and said with an aggrieved expression.

"Don't be angry," Zhang Lexing quickly stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Zishan into his arms to comfort him, "I was also nervous and you said that, if you really don't want to marry..."

Chen Zishan covered Zhang Lexing's mouth with her hand, then leaned into his ear and said softly, "Idiot, I didn't say I won't marry you."

After finishing speaking, Chen Zishan let go of the hand covering Zhang Lexing's mouth, and kissed her actively. The lips of the two of them stuck together again for a long, long time...

After returning to Hong Kong, many documents that needed to be signed by Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan had filled the desks of their offices, and even the mails in the office system had accumulated a lot. Each person has one computer, and they start to deal with office emails first.

On a quiet but slightly hot night, a glass of milk on the computer desk was emitting wisps of smoke. Zhang Lexing typed a reply to an email on the keyboard, clicked send, and clicked on the next pending email with the mouse.

This is a reply email of the leading company’s handling plan, and the text reads: “...the leading BJ headquarters currently has a moment studio responsible for the development of "Jingzhou" and Tiandao Work, which once developed "Water Margin Gathering Chapter" Studio, the Glass Pupil studio that is working on the later stage of "The Monkey King" and the team in charge of the "Dream of Red Mansions" project. Tianjin Qiandao has become financially independent at the beginning of this year, so it is not within the scope of this acquisition... The current person in charge of the leading company has been replaced by Zhang Libo. After initial contact with the other party, he has already expressed his intention to quit the game industry, except for the "Monkey King" project of Glass Pupil Studio...After evaluation, the technical strength of Instant Studio Basically meet the company's requirements, and can be directly converted into an independent commercial game studio. Other personnel will be recruited based on merit. If they fail to meet the requirements, they will be given a chance to study at Fengyun Game Academy or will simply give up... At present, Fengyun Interactive has completed the instant work The signing of the studio, and arranged a temporary studio manager for it, the selection of personnel for other studios is in progress, and the selection of personnel has been preliminarily completed several times, and we are waiting for the reply from the other party..."

Seeing the news that the leading company is back on the old road, Zhang Lexing still couldn't help feeling sad. Fortunately, the domestic game industry no longer needs to be supported by the leading company. Even if the leading company falls, there will still be more Many companies stand up.There is no need to reply to this email. After reading it, Zhang Lexing clicked the button representing "read", and then clicked on the next email to be processed...

Since July, Fengyun Interactive's summer games have also started to appear on the stage one after another. In order to set an example for the game classification standards of the China Game Industry Association, starting from the games launched in July, Fengyun Interactive has been in the game according to the standard. Age-appropriate reminders are marked on the outer packaging and the game startup screen.

For example, the first suspenseful and decrypted game "Mistlock" in the summer vacation file is marked with "E" because of some scary and bloody scenes in the game, which means it is suitable for players aged 17 and above, and it is on the game's startup screen. It also specifically noted that "This game may contain some uncomfortable content, so it is only suitable for players aged 17 and above, please pay attention!!!"

Many software stores also posted instructions on game classification standards and age-appropriate reminders at the door, and the game poster of "Mist Lock" also specifically added age reminders.Unexpectedly, these reminders have attracted the interest of many people, just like the reminder of "not suitable for children" outside the theater when "Furong Town" was released, some people with special ideas also joined the ranks of purchases, and pirated copies The dealers also did not hesitate to include "Mistlock" in the ranks of cracking, but they plan to go further this time, and want to change the "17 years old" on the game startup screen to "18 years old", so that As soon as they come, they can put the name "Adult Game Masterpiece" on the high-sounding CD cover, even if the content of the game is not the "adult" that some people think.

Just like the owners of some theaters, sometimes in order to attract audiences, they can put up a poster outside the theater, which reads "The Story of Seven Men and a Woman", and below it there is a description of "A beautiful woman like a flower and the number of seven men". Ecstasy like a stormy sky", followed by a special note that "it is definitely not "Snow White".The same is true of some pirates, they will also use some catchy words to entice people to buy their discs, as for the reaction of players who misunderstand it as "adult love action game" to take home, this is not what they want Considered it.

"... Just when I thought I was completely lost, I vaguely saw a small town appearing in front of me in the boundless mist. town, sirloin'..."

Li Wenbo clicked the mouse, the opening animation ended, and the protagonist he manipulated appeared in the open space outside the town. The fog was much thinner than before, and he could already clearly see the dilapidated town ahead.From the opening animation just now, Li Wenbo knew that the main character came to this town because of a letter from his girlfriend. The clues are found here.

Li Wenbo manipulated the protagonist around the entrance of the town, and soon he found something similar to a bulletin board with a map of the town stuck on it, the protagonist reached out and took the map off, and then continued his exploration .The lights in the room were a bit dim, which was deliberately adjusted by Li Wenbo to better experience the game. There was a slight sound from the air outlet of the air-conditioning indoor unit, and a gust of cool wind blew out, hanging on the window. A corner of the curtain was blown up, revealing the dark night outside the window...

After processing several important emails, Zhang Lexing put down the mouse and stretched. At this moment, he felt someone gently pat on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Chen Zishan's smiling face.

"Le Xing, it's getting late, let's go to bed early, we have to go to the company tomorrow."

"Okay, here's the last email, I'll take a look at it." Zhang Lexing patted Chen Zishan's hand lightly and said.

"Then I'll wait for you." Chen Zishan dragged the chair next to her and sat down directly.

"Okay, Shanshan, wait a moment, it will be soon."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Lexing held the mouse and clicked on the last email. It was an email about the flood situation in China. There were many details in it that could not be seen in newspapers or websites. Of course, this was not from some secret investigation. , but reported by some employees of the company whose families were affected by the disaster.For example, an employee whose hometown is in a small county in the south, he sent back photos of the entire county being washed in by floods. From the photos, the streets can no longer be seen at all. We can only guess roughly through some buildings exposed to the water. Most of the people hid at a height of more than three floors and waited for the rescue of troops and armed police. Some of the more unfortunate people hung on taller trees, appearing precarious under the erosion of the flood.

According to the employee, the biggest difficulty there is the lack of food, clean drinking water, and medicines. Since the flood flooded into the county, even if the family has reserves but has not been washed away by the water, they are still sitting and eating these days. If it weren't for the occasional instant noodles and mineral water being delivered by assault boat, maybe they would have run out of ammunition and food long ago.

"They look so miserable!" Chen Zishan who was sitting on the side suddenly sighed.

"Yes, natural and man-made disasters." Zhang Lexing nodded and sighed, "Hey~"

"Lexing, let's donate some money to the disaster area."

"Oh, in fact, I heard about the flood before I came back. At that time, I had arranged for the people below to donate a little money in the name of the two of us, and the companies below also donated their own money. But let me say , When the flood recedes and rebuilds their homes, that is the most needed money. What the victims need most now is food, clean drinking water and medicine, not banknotes, but I heard that many roads leading to the disaster area have been washed away destroyed, so it is very difficult to transport things to the disaster area, we can only do our best."

"Hey, I hope the flood will subside soon." Chen Zishan said with a sigh.

"I hope so." Zhang Lexing also sighed, he knew that the water would not recede so soon, and the greater danger was yet to come.

"Lexing, tell me, after the water in the disaster area recedes, can we do something else? Do you want to donate more money?"

"Donating money is the easiest way, but it may not solve the problem." Zhang Lexing has heard a lot about the misappropriation of disaster relief and reconstruction funds, and he has no confidence in the integrity of some local governments: "So if we really want to Well, I would rather set up a charitable fund and arrange people to do it myself, rather than pin my hopes on a party that I can't control at all."

"Isn't that very troublesome, Le Xing, why don't you just donate the money to the local government and let them handle it themselves, wouldn't you save a lot of trouble?" Chen Zishan asked puzzled.

"Because I don't worry, if you donate money like this, once you give the money out, you don't want to know how it will be used in the future. I don't want the money used to relieve the victims to end up on the wine table and the office building."

"Lexing, it seems that you have no confidence in the local government."

"Maybe it's because I know them better, and I can't say that all local governments are like this, but I'd rather have a little trouble and be able to control myself."

"Le Xing, what are you going to do?" Chen Zishan asked suspiciously.

"I plan to set up a charitable fund in the name of the two of us, headquartered in Hong Kong, and I will distribute part of the dividends I received from the group last year, about 3.6 million US dollars, into this fund, mainly for the victims of the flood. Relief, including post-disaster reconstruction..."

"But if this is the case, who will take care of it for you? This is a big stall." Chen Zishan asked worriedly.

Zhang Lexing smiled, lightly patted Chen Zishan's hand on his shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, Shanshan, there are already people involved in fund management. A few years ago, Sister Xin and I worked together for charity in the United States." The size of the fund is not small now, so I can just hire people from there to help me manage it. As for the specific implementation of people, they can be recruited from the country. Anyway, there will be corresponding systems to restrict it. I believe that most of the funds will be Put it into practice. In the future, if there are enough people, we can also absorb external funds and expand the size of the fund. I believe that as long as the whereabouts of each fund is clear, there will be support from others."

"Well, then I'll be the first to support you. I'll donate all my income from this year's research institute. You won't feel too little for Lexing."

"Of course I don't mind, but in this case, Shanshan, you won't have pocket money."

"What does that matter?" Chen Zishan said with a mischievous smile, "Besides, you still support me anyway."

After the two joked about it, Zhang Lexing wrote all his thoughts about the charity fund in the email. He even thought of the name of the fund, which is called "Le Shan Fund". Mainly, it can also develop in education and medical care in the future, such as nutrition subsidies for children in remote mountainous areas, living allowances for private teachers, school building repairs, and the purchase of teaching facilities. Provide support in places where doctors organize free inspection tours.When the funds are more abundant, Zhang Lexing even wants to build a university according to his own ideas, a university that really does research and learning, a university that truly cultivates scholars, and a university that is not lost by rights.

In addition to the "Le Shan Fund", Zhang Lexing also sent an email to Fengyun Interactive and Zhao Haiguang, hoping that they can organize the game industry to hold an event to support the disaster area, whether it is a game charity sale or other forms. , although doing this feels a bit inauthentic, as if it is suspected of taking advantage of the disaster, but no matter what the purpose is, at least it will help the people in the disaster area, and this is also the best way to improve people's perception of the game world It doesn’t matter how much money you donate, the key is that after such a behavior continues, when someone wants to question the morality of the game company, they will at least weigh whether it is useful to do so. Words like "xxx" will not be easily linked to the game.
