Busy with the affairs of the glass factory, before I knew it, the time had come to the end of January.

Seeing that the Spring Festival was about to be celebrated, Zhou Fangyuan suddenly received a strange phone call.

Zhou Fangyuan now has three mobile phones, one is an external phone, basically ordinary people have to contact him through this phone. One is an internal phone, which only people inside the company know, and basically the calls to this mobile phone are all internal to the company. The last one was his personal phone number, which was known only to his family and a few women, and which he never told outsiders.

However, the phone rang at this time, and it was a completely unfamiliar call. Of course, it is not excluded that these are those calls that advertise and do sales, but more likely are the calls of his own family, so he answered them without thinking about it.

It turned out to be a man's voice on the other side of the phone.

"Hello. ”

The voice is very calm.

Zhou Fangyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this voice, he really couldn't hear which of his family members was calling this call.

"Uh, hello, may I ask if you are ......"

"Are you Mr. Zhou Fangyuan Zhou?"

The other party did not answer, but asked.

"I am, who are you?"

Zhou Fangyuan was already 100% sure that this person was not his family, nor was he anyone he knew.

"Hello, I'm Cheng Tianqiao, the president of Shengda. ”

The man across from him said with a smile.

Cheng Tianqiao, President of Shengda?

Zhou Fangyuan was stunned, and immediately reacted, "Hello Mr. Cheng, how did you know my phone number?"

Although he didn't know why Cheng Tianqiao called him, he was most concerned about how his number was leaked.

"I found this number through some connections, Mr. Zhou, I have made several other calls from you, but unfortunately I can't get through, or no one answers at all, and I can't help it, so I called you on this mobile phone." I know this should be your private number, so it's a last resort, I hope Mr. Zhou can understand. ”

Cheng Tianqiao said with a smile.

"Eh, hehe, understand, understand, then, what is Mr. Cheng calling me for? It's about to be the New Year, won't Mr. Cheng go home to reunite with his family?"

Zhou Fangyuan decided not to dwell on this issue, and it was pointless to dwell on it, so let's get straight to the point and ask the other party directly.

"Actually, I've already gone home, and I'm watching TV at home......"

Cheng Tianqiao said casually, "I took the liberty to make this call at this time, and I had no choice but to ask Mr. Zhou for help." ”

"Speak. ”

Zhou Fangyuan changed his hand, switched gears with his right hand, and then drove in a big direction towards the company.

"That's right, I've been observing a game before, to be honest, although our domestic Internet has just begun to develop, but I am very optimistic about the Internet market, and I happen to have some funds in hand, so I want to participate in this game field. Half a month ago, I contacted the game company I was optimistic about, but I was told that the production company of that game had merged with another company, and the new company after the merger had a new major shareholder, and the major shareholder's requirement for the company was that the release of the game in mainland China must be his final say...... Mr. Zhou, you already know what I'm talking about, right?"

Cheng Tianqiao said slowly on the phone.

The corners of Zhou Fangyuan's mouth were already curled.

"Of course, Mr. Cheng originally came to see the legend, why, Mr. Cheng wants to carry out agency work on the mainland?"

"To tell you the truth, yes, I'm really optimistic about this game, so I want to get the agency of this game in the mainland, but I don't know if Mr. Zhou can cut his love. ”

Like in the previous life, when other companies didn't pay much attention to the legend, Cheng Tianqiao had already noticed this game. And like in the previous life, he is once again ready to take over the agency of this game. It's a pity that Zhou Fangyuan moved faster and started earlier, and he already held the mainland's distribution rights in his hands.

Cheng Tianqiao must have asked Altos-Virtue Company and learned all this, so he called himself.

"Mr. Cheng, I'm really happy that you can be optimistic about this game. But as you know, I myself make games, and it was because I was optimistic about this game that I spent money to buy Altos and Wemade, and I let them merge to make all the copyrights of this game come together to avoid possible troubles in the future. You say, I put in so much effort, but in the end the game was handed over to someone else, no matter how you look at it, it's a little inappropriate, right?"

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

If it was him in the previous life, he could have such an opportunity to do business with the big guy, and he was afraid that he would sell the game without even thinking about it. Of course, he couldn't have come up with such a game in his previous life, but that's the truth. But now, he can be regarded as a bigwig-level figure in the domestic Internet circle, to be honest, this legend is not necessarily worse in his hands than in the hands of Shengda, and he knows the problems that may arise in the legend, so he will try to avoid all troubles.

In this case, if he gives the distribution of the game to another competitor, unless he has a brain in the water.

"Mr. Zhou, I can understand your expectations for this game, but I think you shouldn't have so much energy right now. As far as I know, your company's self-developed game is already ready to go live, and the new version of Plants vs. Zombies should have entered the development stage, with another studio...... A person's energy is limited, Mr. Zhou, the stall is too big to have this problem, and I am also here to help you reduce the burden.

The game is handed over to me as an agent, I will give you a satisfactory agency fee, you can not only make money, but also save a lot of trouble, why not? What's more, the money is not endless, the market is so big, you can't always eat alone. ”

Cheng Tianqiao's grinning voice came from the phone.

Zhou Fangyuan's brows furrowed.

Although the other party didn't say much, he caught two pieces of news.

First of all, the other party is very clear about the research and development progress of its own game company, "Big Talk" has made all the preparations before launch, "Plant 2" has also entered the development sequence, and "Meteor" has also begun to develop, it can be said that Distant Games is now operating three games at the same time, and the pressure is indeed very great. But no matter how much pressure there is, these things should also be kept secret, and the outside world can know the name of the project at most, how can they even know the progress of research and development?

And what does he mean by the second half of the sentence, threatened?

Zhou Fangyuan is not afraid of threats, or in other words, if it is normal business competition, he is basically not afraid of such an opponent.

Cheng Tianqiao thought that his words could scare Zhou Fangyuan, but he didn't know that his words made the anger in Zhou Fangyuan's heart come up all of a sudden.

"Mr. Cheng, I'm really sorry, I'm an only child, I didn't know what sharing was since I was a child, to put it mildly, I'm used to eating alone, I may want to disappoint you. ”

Zhou Fangyuan was still smiling, but the expression on his face had already begun to become indifferent.

"Mr. Zhou, my words are not accurate, I actually want to cooperate with you, our two companies can jointly publish this game, why make things so stiff?"

Cheng Tianqiao said with a smile, he didn't look worried at all.

This made Zhou Fangyuan even more unhappy.

Okay, you came to beg me, but you still have this attitude? What do you mean, do you think I'm a bully? Or do you think I'm a soft persimmon, you can pinch it as much as you want?

"There is no need to talk about the matter of the game agent, Mr. Cheng, if there is anything else, if not, I will hang up the phone first. ”

"Wait, Mr. Zhou, aren't you going to think about it anymore?"

"Sorry, I have other things, let's get back in touch when we have time. ”

Zhou Fangyuan hung up the phone straightforwardly.

After hanging up the phone, he thought about it, and directly picked up the fourth mobile phone, which was a mobile phone that specializes in answering foreign calls, flipped through it, and found a number to call.

"Hello?"

The phone was quickly connected, and Zhou Fangyuan greeted him in a very flat tone.

"Honey, why did you remember to call me? Did you miss me?"

A female voice came from the other side of the phone, it was An Lin's voice.

They haven't talked on the phone much recently, but there are frequent email exchanges, so Zhou Fangyuan knows a lot about the North American branch of Yuanfang Network.

also knows that An Lin has registered several companies that he wants to take directly, and now when the funds are in place, he can directly launch these projects.

"Don't you want to say it yet, let me ask you, has anyone asked you for my phone recently?"

"Well, no. ”

An Lin paused visibly.

"Tell the truth, I'm going to hear the truth. ”

Zhou Fangyuan's tone began to become unkind, he didn't like others to lie to him, especially An Lin's identity, once he lied to him, he would immediately fight back.

"Well, well, someone actually asked me about you......"

"Do you know who the other person is?"

"I almost know, the other party said that he was a friend of yours, because the phone was lost before, so there was no phone with you, and you didn't answer your office phone, so ...... I, am I doing something wrong......"

"No, you're doing a great job, it's just great. An Lin, I hope you can use your brain to think about it, it doesn't matter what his relationship with me is, why he was able to find you? And if he is really my friend, doesn't he know how to write down my number on a piece of paper? You can't tell such a simple lie, you say, how can I rest assured that you can continue to work in the North American branch? If it doesn't work, you can come back, and I will send someone else over to the North American branch. ”

Zhou Fangyuan's expression was very calm.

In fact, he didn't mean how angry he was, he was just disappointed, he originally thought that An Lin would be a smart person, and she did a good job as his spokesperson when she was in Nanxian before, at least from Cui Xiong's side, he didn't hear anything bad about An Lin.

But who would have thought that An Lin would make such a simple mistake.

"I, I was wrong, don't let me go back, I, I'm doing a good job here...... I promise that I will never give your phone to others casually in the future, really, in the future, my parents and I will not say anything, please, don't let me go back......"

A person, once he is accustomed to the feeling of being on top, if he is allowed to return to the mortal world, he will not be able to stand it.

Combined, Zhou Fangyuan didn't know how many times he had heard of similar situations. For example, some officials, when they were in power, called for wind and rain, commanded and commanded, and shouted five and six times, which was indispensable. Once retired or transferred to a pension position, depressed, it doesn't take long for people to age rapidly, and some people even suffer from various diseases...... It's all a similar situation.

The same is true for An Lin, who is the top person in charge in the North American branch, and is accustomed to the feeling of hugging from front to back. If Zhou Fangyuan really calls her back to China now, she can imagine that she will definitely not continue to be the president and CEO of a company, and it is more likely that he will be put in a corner by Zhou Fangyuan, and he may not even be given a position, or he may give her a sum of money to do whatever she wants.

Of course, this is not bad, but in this way, the relationship between her and Zhou Fangyuan will inevitably become farther and farther apart. It's hard to get on such a thigh, it's still a huge thick, if the other party really drives her down, she will be the first to stand it.

So she begged for mercy again and again on the phone, and after a lot of flattering words, Zhou Fangyuan drove all the way to the downstairs of the company before he spoke again.

"Then I'll give you another chance, it's not just a matter of phone calls, I'm talking about your attitude. If you can't get what you can't figure out, remember to ask me first in the future, and don't make decisions casually. If you do this next time, then I won't give you another chance, you know?"

"Understood, understood, I certainly won't be like this in the future. ”

An Lin hurriedly said.

Zhou Fangyuan hung up the phone, and finally let out a long sigh, he really realized his problem now.

Maybe it's because he didn't have a girlfriend in his thirties in his last life, so he basically has no resistance to beautiful women, even if there are sometimes a little struggles, but then he is still good. The result of this is that there are more and more women, and at the same time, there are more and more troubles. This An Lin is one of the representatives, Zhou Fangyuan really had the heart to kick her away directly, but when he thought that the other party was still good in his usual work, he didn't really give it a chance in the end, so he decided to give the other party a chance.

Of course, he told himself in his heart that this was the last time, and if An Lin couldn't improve, he promised not to give her any more possibilities.

......

Go upstairs and walk into the distant game company.

Zhou Fangyuan went to the big talk department first and carefully checked the situation of the big talk.

It can be said that all the bugs that can be found have been found, and the game has been tested thousands of times, so it can be said that it has fully met the standards for launch. However, considering the upcoming legendary launch event, Zhou Fangyuan decided to continue to take a step back for a while.

It's not that he doesn't like big words, if he doesn't like it, he won't let people develop this game.

The reason why he chose to let the big talk go back is that he wants to hit a wave of the market with a legend first, so that the market is completely active.

In fact, in his heart, he is more optimistic about Dahua, because Dahua is not only long-lived, but more importantly, Dahua is full of Chinese style and Chinese culture, which is the most important thing, to promote China's own culture, let Chinese culture go to the world, is what every Chinese person should do. Zhou Fangyuan is no exception.

In the previous life, Dahua 1 announced the closure of the service not long after its release, and there are many reasons for this, but the biggest reason may be that the market is not active enough, and Dahua belongs to the kind of game that is relatively slow to heat, and it is suddenly launched when the market is not fully activated, and it can only be quickly folded and sunk.

The excitement of big words is far less direct than that of legends, so it is the best choice to use legends to open this market. After the legend, attract the part of the players who don't like the legend, supplemented by Plant 2, the distant game can be said to occupy half of the Chinese game market in the next one to two years. This is what he wants to see, so he can only endure it, and forcibly postpone the launch of the game in the incomprehensible eyes of the employees.

To be honest, the big words he made out are no different from the big words 2, the only thing that can be called a difference is that the picture is more detailed, but this is only a minutiae. The big talk he makes now is the big talk 2 of his previous life, because he doesn't have more and better ideas, so he can't accept the fact that the game failed, so he has to pave the way for the big talk to grow smoothly.

After coming out of the big talk department, he turned directly into the legendary department.

The legendary game files have been delivered, all of them have been stored on the server, and the debugging and translation work has been completed, and the game can be officially launched with just one order from him.

Zhou Fangyuan looked at the time, "It will be launched on time at eight o'clock tonight, by the way, how is the early promotion work going?"

He has been busy with the affairs of the glass factory during this time, and he handed over the matter of the legendary landing on the mainland to Sun Wenlu, and he has never asked much about it.

"Very good, we have advertised on major websites, among which Tencent is the most powerful, the number of visits to the official website through Tencent has reached hundreds of millions, and the registered account has now reached 1 million, and it is estimated that it will be able to trigger a wave of wind when it is launched. ”

Sun Wenlu is fat again, and now this product is more than 300 pounds, a super fat man.

I don't know how his other half accepts his size, lying there with a one-meter-high stomach, sitting on the office chair and the chair is almost unbearable, and he himself will keep panting when he doesn't do anything, obviously the pressure on his heart and lungs is extremely great. Zhou Fangyuan also persuaded him to lose weight more than once, but he couldn't listen to this product at all, his left ear went in and his right ear went out, he ate as much as he wanted, how he ate and how he ate, Zhou Fangyuan felt that if this product continued like this, there would definitely be problems with his body.

He has already thought about it, and after the New Year, he will be arranged to lose weight compulsively, if he doesn't lose weight, he won't work, he will be dismissed directly, and see if he loses weight.

This is also something that can't be helped, Sun Wenlu really has no problem with his work, he can be called Zhou Fangyuan's important right and left hand, but the way he is now, Zhou Fangyuan is worried about him.

Emptying his miscellaneous thoughts, Zhou Fangyuan nodded.

"In that case, then be prepared, especially in terms of secondary weapons, you can increase it, even if you have time, it doesn't matter, don't let the weapon explode, this is our company's first large-scale game, success or failure in this move. If we succeed this time, we will have a chance to catch up with the games in the future, so this time it's all up to you, do a good job, and you are also the heroes. Can't do ...... well"

"If you can't do it, I'll see you here!"

Sun Wenlu patted his chest full of oil.

"You can pull it down, I want to use my fart, you fat head, work hard, I'll come back at night." ”

Zhou Fangyuan smiled and punched Sun Fatzi, watched the fat on Sun Fatzi's chest shake three or four times, shook his head with a smile and said.

Then he left the distant game and went to Alipay.

He is now the only owner of Alipay, and he is the only boss.

At present, he is responsible for the specific work of Alipay, which he found from a headhunting company, and has worked in several world-renowned banks abroad, and once achieved a high position. If it weren't for Zhou Fangyuan's big money and the use of novel software like Alipay to attract him, he might not be able to invite him back.

This person's Chinese name is Zhao Xuyang, English name is Cresto, Alipay is in his hands, and there has never been a problem. Whether it is the update of the system, or the precipitation and turnover of cash, it is done in an orderly manner.

If it weren't for the special nature of Alipay, he really wanted to give the other party some shares and keep this talent under his hands.

But it's a pity that he can't take out Alipay's payment, so he can only tie it to himself in the form of dividend incentives.

When Zhou Fangyuan walked into the company, Zhao Xuyang was explaining his work in the maintenance department, and he didn't notice it when Zhou Fangyuan walked in, until Zhou Fangyuan cleared his throat, and he reacted suddenly.

"Boss, you're here?"

"Well, what are you doing?"

"I'm asking them to re-test the stability of the system. ”

"Well, you go on," Zhou Fangyuan said to the other employees, and then called Zhao Xuyang out, and called him to a place where no one was, and then he dragged the other party to sit down on the sofa," At eight o'clock tonight, the legend is officially launched, although the game is currently in beta, but some peripheral services have been launched, and at most half a year, the game will enter the official operation stage, and there will inevitably be a large amount of cash flowing into Alipay at that time, you must continue to strengthen the system in this half year, to ensure that our system will not have problems even if the transaction volume is several times more than that, this is the top priority, I don't want you to make money and make a profit, as long as you can stabilize, it is the best help for me, how about it, can you do it?"

"BOSS, you know, I'm not making software," Zhao Xuyang first explained, "But don't worry, I know what to do, I really can't, I will open more servers, and continue to recruit more software talents, to ensure that Alipay is absolutely stable, and there will be no mistakes." ”

"Well, it's good that you have this determination. ”

Zhou Fangyuan nodded with satisfaction.

Then the two chatted for a long time before Zhou Fangyuan left Alipay. He went around the company several more times before leaving the company and going home.

Soon it was seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Fangyuan picked up Shen Xing, accompanied him to the distant game, and began to wait for the official launch of the game.
