The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 283 Who is the real local boss?
In the general manager's office, there were loud bangs and bangs.

It took a while for Gary to calm down.

His anger was understandable.

Being teased is only one aspect.

——On the other hand, the promotion of "The Wolf of Fear" in Xia Country was completely delayed!
Before this, both his own judgment and that of Sony headquarters were completely consistent.

Zhumeng’s influence in the Xiaguo market is extremely amazing.

As long as "Dread Wolf" is available on the [Dream Building Game Platform], it will immediately receive high attention from the entire Xiaguo market - it will even be of great help to global marketing.

There is no need to spend huge amounts of money on marketing.

Being able to persist in the extremely inefficient review process that has to start from scratch again and again, the marketing funds that can be "saved" are also an important factor.

But Gary said he never expected that Dream Building had no intention of putting their game on the shelves from the beginning!
The so-called "reconciliation"...

It's just their wishful thinking!
Now, a precious month has been wasted. If I want to achieve the expected marketing effect, I will probably have to spend twice as much money as before!
Or it is a situation where Dream Building will not continue to target it.

——In today’s Xiaguo game market, DreamBuilder is an absolute local tyrant and has a huge influence on the entire gaming community.

If Zhumengxiang targets them, their promotion and sales in the Xia country market will definitely encounter serious obstacles!

Unfortunately, Shengcai Entertainment has not been doing well in recent years, with several of its works failing. Now it is counting on "Fear the Wolf" to make a comeback.

If Dread Wolf doesn't sell as well as expected...

Even if Shengcai Entertainment will not follow in the footsteps of Duhuo Studio, a large-scale layoff is inevitable!

Gary calmed down and reported the result to headquarters.

At Sony Entertainment headquarters, Hermann received the news a little later.

"So... there is no sign of 'reconciliation'."

"Instead of choosing win-win cooperation, are you planning to go to war?"

Hermann had a headache.

The absolute number of Dream Builder users has not yet exceeded that of Game Box.

But the hardware advantages of Dream Building are too strong!
Especially after the emergence of holographic equipment, under normal business rules, it is difficult for them to pose any threat to Dream Building.

But doing nothing and just watching DreamCreation eat up the market and grow step by step into a gaming giant is absolutely not an option.

"Then we can only use some non-commercial means."

Hermann sighed and shook his head.

Although Sony is an overseas company, it has been deeply involved in the European and American markets in recent years and has become a semi-local leader in the United States.

Of course they cannot give up Xiaguo's game market, but can DreamCraft give up the US and European markets?

Building dreams in the United States does not have the political and economic relations they have!

As long as you are willing to spend the money, find the right middleman.

If we operate carefully, there is hope that Dream Building's devices can be added to the list of "threats to citizens' privacy" or the President's tariff list.

"Since you want to start a war, then come on."

Herman opened the curtains and looked at the bustling night view of Manhattan outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone.

……

……

Xu Meng was not aware of Herman's movements, and talked with the [Spirit] project team for a long time about the idea of ​​armor transformation.

It was not until lunch time that they left their office and went to eat.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Ming also arrived.

Yesterday, Lu Ming couldn't wait to bring his hands to DreamCraft and joined [Neuromancer Technology Co., Ltd.].

——Everyone has a non-compete agreement.

If you join another game company, it will take several years to make a game. As long as you keep a low profile at the beginning, and don't show up in the spotlight, by the time the game is done and the non-compete agreement expires, it won't be a big problem.

With the efficiency of Dream Building, half a year is a long time to make a game!
Xu Meng was also unwilling to let everyone hide their identities, so he simply let them join [Neuromancer].

This can circumvent non-compete agreements to a certain extent.

Of course, the treatment is exactly the same as that of Dream Builder employees.

Among the people Lu Ming brought with him, there was a young man who asked worriedly, "Will this not be hidden from others?"

"Everyone knows we are here to develop games."

In response to his question, Xu Meng just smiled and said, "Then let them come to Ningzhou to sue."

"If that day comes, you don't have to worry about it. The company has a legal team to handle it for you."

"Believe me, the legal teams of Dream Building and Neuromancer are very strong!"

"If Mo Kon can win this lawsuit, I will take Fei Zhiyuan's surname."

Konjac Game is on the verge of collapse, and it still has the mood to take Dream Building to court?
If Fei Zhiyuan really has this determination, then Xu Meng will still respect him as a man.

Everyone was relieved.

Once they began the onboarding process, they found themselves having to sign a 60-page confidentiality agreement.

After signing the confidentiality agreement, national security personnel immediately provided them with confidentiality and anti-espionage education.

They finally understood: DreamZhu’s legal team is probably really powerful!

Onboarding, signing of agreements, confidentiality education, input of information, familiarity with workstations and company regulations...

I spent the whole day yesterday doing these things.

Now that the work was done and everyone had settled down, Lu Ming couldn't wait to bring the core members of the new project team to find Xu Meng -

"Boss Xu, can we talk about the new project?"

"Are you in such a hurry? Aren't you going to wait and hire some more people?" Xu Meng was a little surprised.

Xu Meng had already started preparing for this new project team before Lu Ming officially left.

But after all, the time is still short and there are only 36 people now.

"That's enough!" Lu Ming said, "Let's set up the project framework first, and then we can add more people as we go along."

The people following him also nodded frantically.

Not to mention the level and puzzle designers of the original Konjac game - whether it was the sudden change of environment or the dream building that was highly praised by their peers, they all wanted to do something urgently.

Only when the project is launched can they feel at ease.

The new employees recruited from outside the company are more eager to start work than these people - they have been supported by Dream Building for a month.

Every day, I either wander around or work with my smart partner to do some very early work - designing ancient sailing ships, various rams, sails, and even clothing, furniture, and food of that era...

It's fragmented and unsystematic.

This makes them feel very insecure, and they are afraid that they will be kicked out at the end of the one-month adaptation period.

——All internship positions at Zhumeng are prepared for students.

The term used for new graduates and employees recruited from society is “adaptation period”.

The salary is the same as that of regular employees, the workload is less, but you have to attend a lot of courses and training.

Xu Meng looked at the pairs of expectant eyes in front of him, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, let's talk about the new project first."

"We will discuss the official name of the new project later. For now, it will be called——"

“The Ocean.”
