I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

Tencent wants to poach employees simply for their technology, and as long as they explain this relationship, they won't get into trouble.

···············

"Are you the technical director of Mihoyo?"

It should be said that Tencent's efficiency is relatively high. Ye Ming had just stepped forward to help employees attract attention, and soon he received a phone call.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

"I'm the project director of Tencent, and I hope to talk to you."

"Let's talk on the phone if you have anything to say. It saves time."

"Haha, when you hear the price we offer, you might want to meet and talk."

On the other end of the phone, the lady who had applied for sufficient funding had already begun to imagine Ye Ming rushing to surrender.

"What conditions?"

"The benefits you received at Mihoyo, whether salary or bonus, will be doubled if you come to us."

"Double? Really?"

"Of course, otherwise why do graduates from 985 universities like to come here? As long as they are talented, the treatment will definitely be the most generous."

"I see... This offer is indeed very tempting, but I'm afraid you can't afford double the price."

"Hahahaha~!"

The lady on the other end of the phone laughed out loud.

"Have you been in a small studio for too long and don't understand the scale of a big company?"

"How much can you get paid there, assuming you are the top salary for a technical position?"

This question really stumped Ye Ming. How much money should he get?

"Let me do the math..."

According to the current revenue situation, the target revenue of Honkai Impact 30 is 70 billion per year, and the future revenue target of Genshin Impact is billion per year.

Of course, if it is a normal company, there will not be much left in their hands, after all, the cost is huge.

But Ye Ming's games were all made with the help of black technology borrowed from the system, as well as the dedicated performances of the girls.

After saving the big money, no matter how you spend the other scraps, you will still get a lot in the end.

Considering that the business layout has not been completed yet, and my future goals...

"If it's double, please give me an annual salary of 80 billion, thank you."

"????"

When she heard this number, veins suddenly popped out on the lady's fair skin.

"So, you don't intend to talk to me at all?"

"Ah? I'm talking to you?"

"That's enough! You dare to speak so arrogantly after achieving a little success. Just wait!"

After hanging up the phone, the lady threw the phone aside and walked angrily to the big office. The huge treasure chests on her chest swayed up and down because of her anger.

“Submit the first version of the game for public beta testing by the end of the month!”

"What about...what about technology?"

"Don't worry about it! Just fill up the picture as a gimmick, as for the character modeling..."

The lady was an old hand in the industry after all, and she quickly came up with a solution:

“Use a long-distance overhead perspective, and then lock the perspective. As long as you can’t zoom in, you won’t be exposed.”

"If you want to see what the character you drew looks like, you can go to the character interface, which will be replaced by exquisite portraits at that time."

"As long as the wife is beautiful, the otakus will buy it."

Tencent's competitor to Honkai Impact 3rd was not just started, but a lot of work had already been done, but it was suspended due to technical issues.

So once the lady found a way to solve this problem, she quickly caught up with the progress she had fallen behind.

That night, Tencent released the game PV trailer "Girl's End of the Law"

············

"Ye Ming! Something bad has happened!"

The next morning, Ah Ci ran to Ye Ming and said, holding the news on his phone:

"Geely has already launched a competing product, which will be in public beta at the end of the month, and the PV has already been exposed."

"Oh, I watched it last night. It was pretty good."

The promotional PV uses 2D animation, with exquisite graphics, high frame rate, good camera movement, and a really good visual experience.

After all, all of the above do not require any special technology, but rather require... spending money.

"I can see the ability of the person in charge from this animation PV. He is indeed a leader of this era."

Ye Ming also took a special look at the final crew list of the animation, and the person in charge was called Rosalind.

He always felt that he had seen this name somewhere, but forgot it because it was not very important.

"Although I know that learning to appreciate the strengths of one's opponent is a necessary skill for a wise man..."

Aci knew Ye Ming's temperament very well, but she was still a little worried.

"But now public opinion is one-sided, and a large number of players are supporting Tencent's new game."

"A large number of players? Including our players?"

“This is the most troublesome thing…”

Ah Ci frowned and said:

"Our die-hard players all went to cheer for the competitor, and said that the rewards for this event were good, and it was all thanks to the competitor's efforts."

54. Stand on the same side as the players

"This bunch of traitors..."

Hearing that players of his own game were all cheering for competitors, Ye Ming felt angry and wanted to laugh.

They are obviously not really cheering for their competitors, but rather trying to increase pressure on the operators of the collapsed products.

Regardless of whether the competitors are good or bad, as long as they can put pressure on Mihoyo, the operator will naturally offer more benefits in order to retain players.

"So the players have abandoned us?"

"Haha, don't think the players are too simple, Aci, they are playing tricks on us."

As a former player himself, Ye Ming understood this approach too well.

“But this did give me a wake-up call.”

If a game is just a game, when it becomes no longer fun, players will naturally abandon it and forget about it.

It's a rare opportunity to tell everyone the story of Honkai Impact 3rd, and it would be a shame to just treat it as a game.

“From today on, in addition to game operations and development, we will also enhance players’ sense of belonging.”

"A sense of belonging? How can I do that?"

"The most important thing is to form a gaming culture circle."

Ye Ming said confidently:

"Grace's willingness to paint for us is a perfect start, and then we will also enter the music industry."

“The animated short films for each chapter’s main storyline must be the best, and we can even launch our own animated series.”

"..."

Ah Ci was stunned by these words, but she was smart enough to understand the logic behind them.

The reason for being in such a trance was that she had never expected that her studio, which had once only been able to rely on love and friendship, was about to be developed by Ye Ming into a giant in the entertainment industry.

It felt like the first time Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang's Longzhong Strategy.

"By the way, I will make the game plot a little sweeter in the future, and advertise it to the public as a story about the relaxed daily life of a beautiful girl."

"why?"

Ah Ci looked at Ji Zi and said with some guilt:

"This is a lie."

Ye Ming actually wanted to complain, you don’t need to look at Ji Zi, your own knife is no worse than hers.

But thinking that it was not the time to spoil the plot yet, I patiently explained:

“What is the first reaction of a person after he is fooled by our propaganda?”

"Scolding us?"

"It's to trick another person."

Ye Ming smiled and said:

"The moment we trick people into coming in and make them cry with knives, the cheating players are actually on the same front with us."

"Once this trend becomes popular, it will not only increase our player base, but also make players feel more connected."

Kind and gentle Ah Ci didn't know that there was such a trend on the Internet. She only said worriedly:

"It feels like... we are man-eating tigers, and the players who help us recruit new players are our lackeys..."

"Haha, that's very descriptive. From now on, players should stop calling themselves captains and just call themselves captains."

"No, wait, you almost tricked me..."

Ah Ci shook his head and said:

"You're only talking about the future. Isn't the current competitive product problem completely unresolved?"

“Don’t you need to solve it?”

Ye Ming pointed to the date below the PV and said:

"The Girl's Last Law Record will be open for testing at the end of the month, and the end of the month happens to be when we launch the new version."

“Are you confident about the new version?”

“I’m not confident in the new version.”

Perhaps remembering some past events, Ye Ming smiled with relief:

"I have confidence in Kiana."

After finishing his words, Ye Ming walked out of the office and said to the people present:

"Countdown to the launch of the new version, meeting started!"

After arriving at the meeting room, before Ye Ming assigned any tasks, Youlandel suggested:

"Now that there are competing products, we should work even harder."

"No matter what task you assign to me, I will complete it."

"Whether it's working overtime or living in the company, the task must be completed thoroughly."

Yulandel had a blank expression on her face, as if she was saying something that was self-evident.

Ganyu next to her was looking at her with a grim face, her whole body trembling, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"Stop talking, silly goose."

"Stupid goose?"

The serious Yulandel finally showed an expression other than seriousness.

"This studio prohibits internal competition. If you do this again next time, I will make a game called Goose and Duck Killing and make you the big white goose in it."

"Woo..."

After being criticized, Yulandel began to seriously reflect on what she had done wrong, while Rita next to her covered her mouth and laughed.

"As long as the work progresses normally, it's fine."
