My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 165 An Era of Great Contention, Heroes Rise

The chat group has never been so lively, and never before have so many top-ranked players who usually stay hidden in the background suddenly come out to speak.

This state of excitement continued into the next day; the heat not only did not subside, but it also gave rise to a new atmosphere.

Players began to move beyond mere amazement and gossip, and started using the platform to exchange information and look for business opportunities.

Although players are essentially the biggest competitors, everyone knows that cooperating in certain areas and leveraging the huge advantage of seamless information communication to integrate resources can often crush NPC forces more quickly and achieve leapfrog development.

As a result, the group chat topics naturally split into two main categories: one was still about "Beijingers" and the Soviet Union, which was full of opportunities and risks, with countless people asking how to go to the Soviet Union, what kind of business they could do there, and whether the Far East Trade Center was still hiring.

Another aspect is the emergence of cooperation opportunities across the country and in major cities. Some people provide sources of goods, some seek channels, and some share policy information, making it a highly efficient online business forum.

The entire game world seems to have become more vibrant and full of a thriving atmosphere because of Qin Yuan's "giant" involvement.

In the group chat, besides Qin Yuan, the most attention-grabbing player was a user with the ID "Shencheng Tech Ape".

This person seemed to appear out of nowhere, taking a completely different path from the other players.

While others were engaged in manufacturing, finance, and trade, he devoted almost all his achievements to his "learning" ability, frantically studying science and technology.

According to his occasional revelations and other information uncovered by other players, this person is highly proficient in microelectronics and large-scale integrated circuits, and has become an expert in this field in China.

He has also ventured into cutting-edge fields such as digital communication technology and microcomputers.

He independently developed the world's first Chinese character pager and independently compiled the "Chinese character information representation and its encoded character set for pager communication".

He founded "Inspur Technology," which not only researched and improved pager technology but also built its own factory for production.

What's even more impressive is that he strategically leveraged the player base of "Business Tycoon" to collaborate with players across the country, quickly establishing a nationwide sales channel network.

Once launched, its "Langchao" brand Chinese character pager became a hit, with sales soaring as it solved the problem that pagers could only display numbers and English.

Players in the group already regard this person as another prodigy who has risen after "Master Jing", and privately call him "Master Shen".

His ranking on the leaderboard is rising extremely fast. Although he has not yet entered the top ranks, his momentum is fierce and attracting attention.

……

On the flight from Chengdu back to Yanjing, Prince Li Chuze looked at the heated discussion in the group about "Master Shen" and his Inspur pager.

Looking up at Qin Yuan in the opposite seat, who was engrossed in studying a thick book on microbiology, seemingly oblivious to the hustle and bustle of the outside world, I couldn't help but feel immense admiration.

Look at "Lord Jing's" unwavering composure and his constant drive to improve himself; the Crown Prince feels he still has much to learn.

……

At this moment, "Master Shen"—Song Lian, who was the focus of attention in the group, was not immersed in the praise.

He was in a quiet teahouse in Shenzhen, having a crucial meeting with another heavyweight player.

Sitting opposite him was Li Yuanchao, the "Big Boss of Guangzhou".

"I really didn't expect you to reach out to me."

Li Yuanchao gently blew away the foam on the teacup, his tone carrying a hint of genuine surprise, "To be honest, you're the second person who has surprised me so much."

Song Lian pushed up his glasses, his face calm as ever: "I know, the first one is Qin Yuan, Master Jing. I saw the news about your stock market battle in Shenzhen, it was very exciting."

"But he is him, and I am me. I am not anyone's second, I am who I am, I am Song Lian."

Although his words were ordinary, his tone revealed an undeniable arrogance.

Li Yuanchao glanced at him and had to admit that the other man had reason to be arrogant. He was able to calm down, abandon short-term gains, and use the system's advantages to start from scratch to learn the most hardcore scientific and technological knowledge of this era, accurately betting on the future development of electronic technology and semiconductors.

They attempted to accelerate the progress of the times through invention and creation, thereby acquiring a massive amount of achievement points...

This mindset, vision, and execution ability are truly remarkable.

"So what exactly is the purpose of your visit this time?" Li Yuanchao stopped beating around the bush and asked directly.

Song Lian also liked this directness. He leaned forward slightly, his gaze sharp: "Cooperation. I know you have deep connections and networks in official circles, especially in Lingnan and the postal and telecommunications system."

He paused for a moment, then revealed his core purpose: "You should know about the 'Chinese character information representation and its encoded character set for paging communication' that I independently compiled."

"I hope you can use your connections to help me get this character set established as a national standard at the upcoming expert review meeting on 'Radio Paging System' held by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, so that it can become 'China's No. 1 Number'!"

"My goal is to ensure that all pagers entering the Chinese market in the future, including international giants like Motorola and Panasonic, must adopt my encoding standard if they want to display Chinese characters!"

Upon hearing this grand and even somewhat astonishing idea, even the well-informed Li Yuanchao was taken aback.

He never expected this "tech ape" to have such great ambitions!

Not content with quickly selling products through player channels in online groups, they actually aim to set their sights on industry standards, hoping to leverage official power to force international giants to adopt their standards.

This is simply...unbelievable!

But after the initial shock, Li Yuanchao quickly realized that if this were accomplished, its impact would be nuclear-level!
This could very well trigger a second "Epic Achievement"!
Its significance may even extend beyond the trade of a single commodity.

Observing the changes in Li Yuanchao's expression, Song Lian continued, "You should have noticed the changes in the rankings. Besides Lord Jing's ranking rising rapidly, the Crown Prince and that Tianjin Martial God have also improved their rankings significantly."

"They were clearly deeply involved and shared in the rewards of this epic achievement of 'trading canned goods for airplanes'."

"Your collaboration with me will help me promote the 'Inspur Standard' to become a national and even de facto international standard for Chinese character display. This will inevitably bring immeasurable achievements and massive wealth."

"And you, as the most crucial driving force behind the cooperation, will naturally be able to share in the huge benefits."

Li Yuanchao took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.

He certainly knew that by working together to achieve the corresponding accomplishments, the system would award achievement points based on the contribution.

He already knew this when he joined forces with Qin Yuan to destroy Yuanye.

But that's not enough; these are still not enough.

Li Yuanchao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a moment, and said:
"can."

“I can use all my resources to help you push this forward.”

Just as a smile appeared on Song Lian's face, Li Yuanchao changed the subject: "However, it's not enough for me to merely share in the benefits of this potential 'epic achievement' in the future."

"Oh?" Song Lian raised an eyebrow. "Then what does President Li want?"

“I want to invest in Inspur.” Li Yuanchao’s eyes were blazing, and his tone was resolute. “It’s not a simple cooperation, but a deep capital alliance. I want to become a shareholder of Inspur Technology and participate in the company’s strategic decision-making.”

The air in the tea room instantly became stagnant.

In this era of great contention, numerous heroes rise up.

New alliances are brewing, and the landscape of the gaming world is evolving at an unprecedented pace.
