From gaming to becoming the richest man, it all started with his counterattack against XunTeng.

The next day, the official Hive account released all the promotional videos and operator CGs at once.

With the momentum generated by last night's live stream.

Each video has nearly ten million views, with the promotional video reaching 3000 million views on a single platform and hundreds of millions of views across the entire internet.

Numerous self-media outlets, game streamers, and review media applied to play the game tonight.

It even included quite a few of its peers.

They must find a way to identify Rainbow Six Siege's weaknesses or even vulnerabilities. If they cannot stop Rainbow Six Siege's promotional momentum, their game will be in serious trouble.

This kind of thing is unavoidable. Even if they are not allowed to participate, they can still buy game access from various streamers.

Yang Yi accepted all who came.

It's important to know that this is not the same Cai Liu that started slowly but rose to prominence in the previous life. Yang Yi has basically filled in all the pitfalls that Cai Liu encountered in the previous life.

The initial lineup consists of 36 operators, plus two Wolf Fang Specialist operators from the first year's season pass (whose skills replace Little Flying Man and Car Thief) (officially licensed by the military), and four more operators per year thereafter.

This is the equivalent of two years' worth of updates from the previous life, and now Yang Yi has released it all at once, resulting in a diverse array of operator skills and extremely high replayability.

They also spent a lot of money to set up global server nodes.

The Qunfeng platform also includes a built-in free accelerator.

Aside from the lack of a Chinese server, it's absolutely amazing!

Thank you so much to the top donor for the financial support!

If there's any downside, it's that it's not very beginner-friendly, but that's unavoidable, as the game's strengths are realism and tactics.

This kind of setup makes it difficult to cater to newcomers, not to mention the scene disruptions, which will inevitably leave newcomers confused for a while.

All Yang Yi could do was find anchors to make videos to provide tactical education.

With the proliferation of game videos online, newcomers naturally gain a general understanding of some common tactics.

This is why the game planners were involved in this trial; it's definitely not because Yang Yi wanted to bully newbies.

Not all game companies want Rainbow Six Siege to fail; third- and fourth-tier game companies would love for Rainbow Six Siege to succeed.

Rainbow Six Siege poses no threat to them; in fact, they can use the shared engine as a gimmick to promote their own games—a promotional resource they would never normally have access to.

In the gaming industry, big companies reap the rewards while small companies get the scraps.

Now that the Bee Engine has revolutionized the gaming industry, third- and fourth-tier game companies have the potential to profit; it remains to be seen whether they can seize the opportunity.

Beehive used to be a small, fourth-tier company.

After two rounds of large-scale recruitment, Beehive Games has grown to a considerable size.

Excluding the subsidiary Qunfeng, there are 300 people, and the office space has expanded from the original two rooms to two floors, making the space much more spacious.

The extra office space was designed as a snack area, a lounge, and a gym. They even created a water bar because Shen Xiao and Yang Yi love milk tea.

The treatment of bees is now famously good in Shenzhen, even to the point of being unrealistic.

Few people would believe it if it got out.

Everyone has been through the harsh realities of society; it's one thing to talk, but to actually believe it is truly foolish.

Yang Yi was speechless when he heard the feedback from Xia He about the job market. These people probably had never worked for a legitimate company before!

During the recruitment process, some people even suggested that the company wouldn't have to pay social security for him, which was practically killing Yang Yi.

If outsiders found out, they'd think Yang Yi couldn't afford social security contributions, so she immediately decided to provide all employees with seven types of insurance and two types of housing funds—maximum coverage!

Even when we didn't have much money, the company provided us with five social insurances and one housing fund.

Now that we have money, if we can't offer better benefits than before, wouldn't that be letting down the top donor's contributions?

When the old employees received their pay slips, the new employees were practically moved to tears; they felt so hopeful for the future.

With these benefits, what more can I say?

loyalty!!!

Don't worry, boss, no one can poach us. Whoever leaves will have to pay up!

"Why am I spending money like this?!"

Zhang Wei was originally the planner for the bee colony. When the bee colony was in dire straits, although he was a little reluctant, he still couldn't resist the olive branch extended by a competitor and led the lead programmer to do aerobics.

Less than two months later, I heard that BeeSwarm had taken on a project that plagiarized Dungeon Fighter Online mobile game as an outsourcer. At that time, I was drinking with the lead programmer and discussing BeeSwarm's old-fashioned colleagues. I was glad that I had seized the opportunity and escaped from this misery.

Unexpectedly, the backlash came so quickly: the former boss went to court, lost the case, turned the tables and made 60 billion, released the most powerful engine to date, and launched a brand new game.

I've only been working for half a year, not a century. If you're so amazing, why didn't you say so earlier? If you have this potential, why would I have switched jobs back then?

Upon seeing the bee-swarm payslip circulating online, Zhang Wei felt like slapping himself in the face.

The lead programmer even got into a fight with Zhang Wei over this.

What do you mean by being misled by me into choosing to switch jobs?

Damn it, you weren't here when I was drinking and venting?

He couldn't stay at the new company either. Ever since his colleagues found out that Zhang Wei had switched jobs from Beehive, he always felt that their gazes towards him were full of pity and disdain.

Now the boss is demanding that he design a game that's no less impressive than Rainbow Six Siege. What can he possibly design? If he had that ability, would he still be here?

Zhang Wei is already secretly sending out resumes. After all, he has experience working at Hive, and maybe a company will give him a more important job because of that experience.

Zhang Wei's former colleagues earn three times his salary and have seven types of insurance and two types of housing funds. He doesn't know how much longer he has to endure before he can get ahead.

If only we had persevered for another six months, things would have been fine.

"Why am I spending money like this?!"

"Currently, more than 7000 people have applied to play Rainbow Six Siege, but we only have 50 staff members participating in the training, which makes it difficult to cover all the streamers."

"This may affect your plans."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xia He counted the number of players who had tried the game, and this number made her worry about the assistance plan that Yang Yi had formulated.

"Don't worry, it's more fun with more streamers. Some demonstrations only need to be taught once. Too many demonstrations are actually not good and will stifle players' creativity."

How is the game being promoted on international websites?

With him personally in charge of the overall situation in China, any problems that arise can be resolved immediately, but the situation is less certain abroad.

"The hype is huge. The promotional video has been viewed over 200 million times on foreign websites, and we've already contacted several well-known gaming bloggers who will be holding a small demo event tomorrow to promote the game."

As expected of a secretary from Xun Teng, Yang Yi's burden has been greatly reduced since Xia He joined the company. In the past, she had to personally oversee these matters.

Now all you need to do is talk.

We still don't have enough talent; the subsidiary of Qunfeng needs to find a capable president.

Yang Yi has no access to overseas headhunting firms, but for Junlun Law Firm, it's a piece of cake.

Top firms like theirs have no shortage of connections.

Although Yang Yi breached the contract in the litigation, which drew criticism from Junlun Law Firm, the release of the Bee Engine effectively mended the relationship between the two parties.

Based on current market feedback, it's only a matter of time before bee colonies grow large; there's no need to offend customers over a small matter.

Potential clients are crucial for law firms.

Junlun is efficient; Yang Yi quickly received a multinational call from an overseas headhunting firm.
