Game Development: Starting with Recreating the Anime Game Style

Chapter 15 is outrageous?

That afternoon.

Xiang Lixuan arrived at Xingchen Games Studio with his assistant.

Or, more accurately, the Yufeng Youth Entrepreneurship Industrial Park
In the entire industrial park, the office building where Starry Night Games Studio is located is not conspicuous, and can even be described as low-key. It is a building with less than eight floors, which is far inferior to Tencent's building.

"Mr. Xiang, should we go straight up? They haven't answered the phone..."

Xiang Lixuan's assistant was somewhat uneasy.

Normally, before making such a visit, you should at least inform the other party in advance and confirm the schedules of both parties.

However, the call couldn't get through all morning.

However, Xiang Lixuan still came.

He even thought it was a good thing that the call didn't go through; if he couldn't get through to QQ, then he could expect that other competitors wouldn't be able to either.

"Don't worry, with our status, we won't be turned away. Let's go, let's meet this dark horse."

Xiang Lixuan straightened his tie.

Although he didn't make an appointment by phone in advance, he was full of confidence, and this confidence came from the four words "Tencent Games".

Xiang Lixuan has met many game studios, and many of them have even publicly mocked Tencent online, but no matter which studio it is.

When they met in person, they were all incredibly polite to each other.

In Xiang Lixuan's view, his personal visit was a great show of respect to Starry Sky Games.

It was a completely respectful and courteous act.

"Just you wait and see, the people from Starry Sky Games will definitely come out to greet us with great excitement."

Xiang Lixuan was quite confident in front of his female assistant.

Then a few minutes later
"Um, what do you mean by 'let me wait a moment'?"

Xiang Lixuan's smile was somewhat stiff.

He had just introduced himself, expecting to immediately gain the other party's attention, but he was met with a cold shoulder.

"Um... Mr. Chen is busy right now. You two can rest in the meeting room for a while."

"No, it's me, Senior Investment Director of Tencent Interactive Entertainment Group."

Xiang Lixuan gritted his teeth inwardly, but maintained a smile on his face.

"Yes, I know. The people from Wangyi are also in the lounge. Would you like to wait a bit, or..."

Xiang Lixuan frowned, then glanced at the so-called lounge, which was actually an empty conference room, where several people in suits were indeed sitting.
"Could I inquire what your CEO Chen is doing? Who is he meeting? Probably?"

"I'm not too sure either, it seems to be the vice mayor of Yufeng City."

"!?"

When Xiang Lixuan heard the words "the vice mayor of Yufeng City," his expression changed immediately.

My first thought was, "Is it really necessary?"

It's worth noting that Yufeng, as a county-level city in Suzhou and Hangzhou, has a very developed economy. Due to its geographical proximity to Shanghai, many technology and gaming companies are located there.

The deputy mayor of such a place definitely wields real power.

That's why Xiang Lixuan found it absurd. A game studio that had only been online for a week, even if the data was impressive, shouldn't have attracted someone of this caliber to come to their door in person, right?

This is unreasonable!

~~~
And at the same time.

In the conference room of Starry Sky Games Studio.

"Mayor Wang, this is our current data. Overall, 'Final Battlefront' is experiencing rapid data growth."

Chu Chen's inner thoughts were actually somewhat similar to Xiang Lixuan's. He also felt it was a bit "really necessary."

How well is "Final Battlefront" doing right now? It's not bad, but it's just not bad.

Logically speaking, it was far from being able to attract official attention.

Therefore, when Chu Chen heard that city leaders were coming, he was quite startled. Even though he was standing on the stage giving a report, he didn't really understand what was going on.

"This data increase is quite impressive, Xiao Chen. Hey, is it appropriate for me to call you that?"

Sitting in the conference room was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old. He was wearing a well-fitting dark jacket, his hair was neatly combed, and he had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a sense of competence.

This is Wang Jianmin, the vice mayor of Yufeng City in charge of commerce.

"Suitable, suitable..."

Perhaps sensing that Chu Chen was a little confused, Wang Jianmin spoke a few more words.

"From the current perspective, the data for the game 'Final Frontline' is very impressive, and its influence has also grown. This is a very good sign for the development of the cultural industry in our Yufeng City."

At this point, Wang Jianmin paused, then changed the subject, adding a touch of personal emotion.

"Moreover, this youth entrepreneurship industrial park where you are located was originally built under my strong advocacy."

Chu Chen thought to himself, "Oh?" He had vaguely grasped a clue.

At this moment, someone next to Wang Jianmin chimed in.

"Yes, when you first said you wanted to do this, there were quite a few objections in the city. They felt that it was a bit too ambitious for a county-level city like ours to do this."

"I never imagined that before your promotion..."

"Hey! What does this have to do with whether I get promoted or not?"

Wang Jianmin waved his hand.

Although she stopped the other person from speaking, her tone still carried a hint of emotion.

"I'm simply happy to see that our industrial park has been able to incubate such a team and achieve such results."

"This proves that our initial decision was correct, and that this platform has value!"

With that said...

Chu Chen then realized that there was such a layer of history behind it all.

No wonder Vice Mayor Wang made the trip in person.

On the one hand, the success of "The Final Front" certainly brought honor to the local government.

On the other hand, the success of Starry Night Games also indirectly proves that the startup park project he strongly promoted back then was successful, which naturally has a different meaning for him personally.

"Our achievements today are largely thanks to the favorable environment and policy support provided by the park."

Chu Chen expressed his gratitude at the opportune moment.

He was speaking sincerely, because for a startup, the rent reduction and various supporting services provided by the park were indeed a great help.

"It should, it should."

Wang Jianmin's smile widened.

"Seeing you doing well is the greatest affirmation of our work. If you encounter any difficulties or need the city's coordination and support, you can always let me know."

With the leader in a good mood and Chu Chen being quite eloquent, the atmosphere of the reporting meeting naturally became relaxed.

Before leaving, Wang Jianmin even said that next month, when Xingchen achieved even greater success, he would invite Chu Chen to a celebratory banquet at the city's canteen.

Although Chu Chen didn't react much, he still nodded happily.

However, the people around Wang Jianmin gave Chu Chen a few more meaningful glances.
