Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

/*I found an unexpected situation. Chapter 0213 was actually eaten by me. I searched for a long time and couldn't find my manuscript~~~It seems that the chapter of Hacker War has to be rewritten*/

{Location: Flower Planting-Special Zone}

When Zhang Junya was woken up by the alarm clock in the morning, she waited for a while before finally thinking of grabbing the alarm clock on the bedside. However, she reached out and groped for a long time but found a piece of paper first.

Puzzled, she grabbed the piece of paper and brought it back to her eyes. Only then did she realize that it was a note left by her brother Ning Zimo.

"You only have enough for two cocktails, so no matter how good the liqueur is, don't drink too much. After all, my brother is not always by your side to protect you."

When Zhang Junya saw those two lines of words, the corners of her mouth turned up involuntarily. She could even imagine her brother reaching out in front of her head and gently flicking her head with his fingers, frowning but lecturing calmly. But

The thought of being taken care of by him since she was a child makes Zhang Junya extremely happy.

But when she thought about the reason why she indulged herself and wanted to drink more wine yesterday, Zhang Junya couldn't help but frowned. If his brother knew about the troubles from home, what would his reaction be?

Will it be very sad?

The alarm clock on the bedside was still noisy, but Zhang Junya hugged her knees and propped her chin on her knees, frowning and not knowing what she was thinking.

…

Lu Xiaona put her groggy head on her knees to support her, feeling that her face should be as red as a cooked shrimp.

She sat up just after she woke up, and her mind kept spinning the last memory fragments of last night. When she thought of her bold behavior last night, the temperature on her face rose sharply, so much so that the cool air of the air conditioner could not suppress it.

Especially my forehead, I still feel extremely hot.

Last night, her nerves were really stimulated by alcohol, and her heartstrings were aroused by his performance on stage, so much so that she didn't even think about it. When he hugged her and put her on the bed, she didn't know where she got the courage to do it.

I want to wrap my arms around his neck.

Actions were done and words were spoken.

She had never said anything embarrassing to anyone before.

"The door is closed~"

If it's so suggestive, she must have left all her reserve behind in Java.

As soon as these three words came out of his mouth, he clearly looked like he was filled with desire, and the fire in his eyes was about to devour him.

At that moment, she was scared but looking forward to it. But what she didn't expect was that after being stunned for a few seconds, he just pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead, and then put her arms around his neck.

Put it back to your side.

Was it because his fear was written on his face and he noticed it?

Lu Xiaona thought of this,

Suddenly I felt dumbfounded.

After all, this is because he is too upright,

Or is she not attractive enough?

…

While Lu Xiaona was still wondering why Ning Zimo was not attracted by last night's charm, Ning Zimo was already running on the way to the airport.

The abd trio will bring the two people in charge of [Panda Pictures] they have found to the Special Administrative Region today, and he has to pick them up in person.

Speaking of which, [Panda Pictures] originally planned to settle in the Special Administrative Region in early March, but for safety reasons amid the raging SARS epidemic, Ning Zimo decided to postpone this time.

Although the abd trio were in the UK, the epidemic situation in the flower-growing land had been widely spread around the world at that time. Naturally, they understood the situation described by Ning Zimo. The abd trio had been dormant for several years.

He expressed his understanding and agreed, but the matter of selecting a suitable person in charge of Panda Pictures has not been left behind.

When time was no longer a constraint, the abd trio in the UK had sufficient connections and time, so they played an important role during this period.

A friend of Neville's who graduated from Bournemouth recommended two talented people from Bournemouth University. The important thing is that these two people are flower growers and Chinese Americans that Ning most hopes for.

Bournemouth University is located in Bournemouth, the capital of Dorset, England, only a 2-hour drive from London. It has 4 departments and 21 colleges.

The British National Center for Puter Animation (NCCA), established in 1989 at Bournemouth University (BU), is the most authoritative animation education base in the UK and the only national-level research institute in the field of computer animation in the UK.

center.

Bournemouth's animation center ranks first in the UK and has rich experience in animation education. Its animation courses are accredited by NCCA, and Bournemouth has always had the practice of regular tours of lectures by industry veterans.

The person recommended by Neville's friend was a man named Yan Yufeng. He was 30 years old and had graduated from Bournemouth four years ago. He was working in a small animation studio in Bournemouth and was somewhat famous in the industry.

Coincidentally, Yan Yufeng also has a good relationship with a junior student in the fourth grade of the same college - Wu Yujun. Wu Yujun is only 27 years old and has just graduated less than a year ago.

But Neville told him that Bournemouth's courses are closely linked to modern business development. 70% of the courses have internship courses, and Bournemouth's employment rate is as high as 93.4%.

Freshly graduated master's students like Wu Yujun have no worries about finding a job even in the UK.

And these two people, they even went to talk to each other in person!

+++*+++

"From the information, these two people are quite good. What if they are not willing to grow flowers and develop?"

"Hey, Martin, since we have met, shouldn't we work hard for it?"

"Oh, no, no, no, man. I just wanted to put it this way, how lucky we were to find the right person so quickly."

"I hope so. After all, we have been disappointed many times in the past."

Due to the raging SARS epidemic, Ning Zimo postponed the formation of Panda Pictures. However, the abd trio, who were eager to launch "Peppa Pig" quickly, encountered obstacles in the recruitment of the person in charge of Panda Pictures.

In the past few months, they also tried to contact some candidates, but they were all quite dissatisfied, so they did not tell Ning Zimo.

But this time it was different. The friend who recommended these two people was already known to Martin and was a well-known person in the industry, so the person he recommended was naturally good.

The current address of the abd studio is still in London. Martin and Neville were eager to seek talents this time, so they drove directly from London to Bournemouth.

During the two-hour drive, the two people kept chatting around these two people.

Martin has always had an unreal feeling, because judging from the past resumes of the two people he found, they seemed to be too consistent with the current requirements. Fortunately, this unreality was abandoned by Martin after meeting the two introduced people.

The back of the head.

Now, Martin and Neville are sitting in a cafe in Bournemouth, opposite Yan Yufeng and Wu Yujun. The four of them are industry insiders, and they chat lively.

At first, several people chatted around Martin, a well-known person in the British animation circle, and even his experience of teaching at the British National University.

Although Martin's past work "The Great Knight" was not valued by capital, Yan Yufeng and Wu Yujun, as industry insiders, are both knowledgeable people. Naturally, Martin's "The Great Knight", which has been praised by the industry, was praised together with Martin.

sky.

Only then did Martin realize that Yan and Wu were willing to meet him because they were curious about him.

But in the recent contact, Martin had some actual conversations with the two of them, and he also valued their evaluations.

But when it came to growing flowers and setting up a company, Yan Yufeng sounded confused in his words.

"Go grow flowers and build a company? Why do you go so far away?"

Martin and Neville looked at each other and smiled, then told the whole story about meeting Ning Zimo at the Nuremberg Exhibition and jointly establishing abd studio.

So in Yan Yufeng's mind, he had a preliminary impression of Ning Zimo, a person who grew flowers far away.

Regarding Ning Zimo's request to revitalize flower planting animation, he suddenly lost some doubts and became more interested.

"Martin, after all, I have settled here with my family. If I really want to go back to growing flowers and starting a business, I need to have a deeper understanding of this partner."

"Of course." Martin could understand Yan Yufeng's caution, "In this way, we can give you his contact information."

"Just use skrpe. Didn't Ning's skrpe recently launch a multi-person network conferencing system? Let's help him do a cross-border test."

Before a new product is launched, Ning Zimo has always been accustomed to testing through networks in various places. Martin and Neville participated in the testing of skrpe's new functions under the influence of Ning Zimo.

skrpe launched the online conferencing function in early April, which is the first important function update. Since skrpe has great advantages in encryption and group management, this function has been recognized by people as soon as it was launched. Currently, there are many online conferencing functions in Europe and the United States.

In business meetings of 30 people, there is even a trend of replacing web conferencing products.

"Is skrpe a product of Ning Company?" Yan Yufeng was surprised. His current company is a beneficiary of the skrpe network conferencing function.

Neville nodded, "Yes, our partner is also a master in his own field."

Neville's nod made Yan Yufeng's expression brighten. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Many friends around me have begun to use this software, and the experience is quite good. Go to my residence, there are several computers,

I can’t wait to chat with this interesting guy.”

Martin patted Yan Yufeng's shoulder and said, "Let's go and have a chat with him. He can always impress people."

…

Yan Yufeng's residence was not far from the cafe, and the four of them drove there quickly. After entering, Yan Yufeng led the three of them to his study room, where four computers were placed.

Neville looked at the two of them with a smile, "You guys also have the habit of playing games?"

Wu Yujun scratched his head and said, "It seems that everyone is the same. Everyone has two computers. They can do both work and entertainment."

Turning on the computer, skrpe was installed on each computer. After several people logged in, Martin directly initiated a new online meeting.

At that time, Ning Zimo was still in Bashu, and he didn't react to the sudden pop-up window of skrpe. But when he saw the call from Martin, he immediately realized that [Panda Pictures] must have made new progress.

"Hi, Martin."

"Hi, Ning, I've been waiting for a long time. We just talked about the establishment of Panda Pictures with two new friends we found. They are very interested in your ideas and want to talk to you in detail."

"No problem, is he with you?"

"They are here, let me introduce themselves."

"Hi, Ning, I am Jing, and my Chinese name is Yan Yufeng."

"Hi, Ning, I am Hu, and my Chinese name is Wu Yujun"

Ning Zimo was surprised when he heard the two people saying their Chinese names, "Hi, Yan, Wu, I am Ning, and my Chinese name is Ning Zimo. Are you flower growers?"

"I follow my father's British nationality, and Wu is a flower farmer. He just studied here. We are good friends with similar interests." Yan Yufeng explained a few words and then praised, "I heard Martin talk about the product skrpe.

What your company developed is incredible.

You know, I have used the newly launched multi-person conference function several times this month when communicating with some outsourcing project teams. Not only is the sound quality better than other online conferencing software, but it also provides many good functions in terms of management."

"Thank you," Ning Zimo happily accepted this kind of solid praise. After all, this wave of updates has cost the skrpe project team a lot of energy, and the response from the inside has already been good.

"Okay, Ning, let's get back to the point. Martin is a person we admire in the industry, and we are also very interested in his introduction to your plan to set up an animation studio in Changhua. Now Hu and I would like to hear your thoughts on Panda Pictures

What are the specific plans?”

Yan Yufeng has been abroad for many years and is used to being straightforward. His simple and direct style is actually very popular with Ning Zimo, and Ning Zimo naturally enjoys it.

"Yan, that's it. It was a coincidence that Martin and Neville and I met them. Before that, I didn't have any idea of ​​getting involved in the animation industry. Because before that, I only had long-term prospects in the Internet industry.

Planning. But after I got to know Martin and Neville, I was infected by their persistence and the connotation of their works.

At that moment, I suddenly came up with the idea of ​​starting an animation company in Zhonghua. At that time, I thought of the animation masters of our Zhonghua in the last century. Not only the founders of Wan Laiming, Wan Guchan, and Wan Chao

Chen, the four brothers Wan Dihuan. There is also a long list of names such as Tewei, Xu Jingda, Tang Cheng, Qian Jiajun, Jin Xi, Yue Lu, and Wang Shuchen.

At that time, there was also a long list of flower-planting works such as "Princess Iron Fan", "Havoc in Heaven", "Nezha Hao Hai", "Three Monks", "The Wanderings of San Mao", etc. However, these brilliance were all due to the

At the end of the century, the shoddy production at the beginning of this century was broken, so that many of our young people have forgotten that we were also an animation exporting country.

To be honest with you, animation is not my area of ​​expertise. But I know that works like those created by Martin and Neville are what children who grow flowers need. And the persistence of Martin and Neville is what we lack in flower-growing animations.

of.

I don’t know what kind of company Panda Pictures will become in the future. I only know that what I want is a company that can seriously tell some stories to children, young people, and even adults who grow flowers, and then implant some health and positive energy into the stories.

At the same time, we can also show some of our culture to the world.

I don’t know how long it will take to achieve this goal. However, I am willing to work as soon as possible. Because I know that as long as Panda Pictures can take this step earlier, we can achieve this goal one day earlier. Because I believe that the stars

The fire can start a prairie fire."
