Chapter 110: A Day in the United States
"I'm so tired!" Chen Tianliao put down the pen in his hand and shook his hand. Universities in the United States are different from domestic universities and have quite strict requirements, especially prestigious universities like Berkeley. The weight of schoolwork every day weighed him down. At this time, he somewhat understood why Gates in his previous life dropped out of school because of entrepreneurship. It was impossible for him to juggle his studies and his company. As for Jobs' dropout, it was financial. Good universities in the United States are very expensive for all kinds of fees.
Putting down the book in his hand, the phone rang in the room. Chen Tianliao grabbed the microphone: "Hello!"
A crisp female voice rang on the phone: "Hey, Chen Tianliao, I'm Lisa, are you free this weekend? We're going to have a potluck party." ”
Chen Tianliao scratched his head. He complained a lot about Lao Mei's endless party, and he didn't like to participate. It's just that this Lisa is more special, she has a lot of energy at school, and there will be little place to borrow in the future, and Chen Tianliao is not good at saving her face.
"Ah, free. When does the party start?...... Okay, I'll be there on time!"
Putting down the phone, Chen Tianliao smiled bitterly, walked downstairs, and came to the living room. In the living room, three young women are sitting side by side watching TV. The tallest blonde was a clerk for Chen Tianliao's American company and his English secretary during his time in the United States, and her name was Miss Yvonne Weiss, a beautiful woman who was quite German in terms of name and appearance.
The baby-faced girl sitting next to Wise was Liu Yun, who succeeded Fang Yan as Chen Tianliao's secretary, but not long after she did it, she was sent by Zhu Saibei to study in the United States. A beautiful woman with long hair and quiet next to Liu Yun is also Zhu Saibei's secretary, named Fu Xiaoqiu, who has studied in the Japanese Kingdom for two years, and now has also rushed to the United States to meet Chen Tianliao. With such a powerful secretary team, Chen Tianliao can concentrate on learning.
Seeing Chen Tianliao walking down the stairs, Liu Yun stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Miss Wise smiled in broken Chinese, "Miss Liu is really dedicated." But I still don't know what's so good about American ginseng!"
Fu Xiaoqiu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "This is the wisdom passed down by the Chinese ancestors." ”
Wise shrugged his shoulders and whispered, "But the boss doesn't seem to like eating this either......"
As he was talking, Chen Tianliao walked over: "What are you muttering?"
Wise immediately replied in English, "We're talking about American ginseng!"
Chen Tianliao frowned, and shouted in the direction of the kitchen: "Sister Yun, don't come out with ginseng soup." I'm strong, I don't need that stuff!"
"You work so hard every day, you have to drink some ginseng soup! I promised your grandmother to take care of you!" Liu Yun said as she walked over with ginseng soup. She, like Fang Yan, was recommended to the company by Chen Tianliao's grandmother, "Don't worry, I will only boil ginseng soup once in a while, and I won't make up for you." Come and drink it, I stewed the black chicken that I couldn't get with a lot this time. ”
Chen Tianliao said with a bitter face: "I really don't need it, and besides, I don't believe in Chinese medicine very much." Whoever of you wants to eat can eat it, I won't eat it. ”
Liu Yun couldn't help but pout when she heard this. She glanced at Chen Tianliao resentfully, and said, "That's it, boss, the ginseng soup has been stewed, don't eat it and waste it, you can eat it, for the last time." ”
Chen Tianliao shook his head helplessly and said, "No, how many times have you said that it will be the last time?" Anyway, I resolutely don't want it. You girls, eat it. Didn't you say that black chicken can replenish the blood of girls?" As he spoke, he took the stew cup and handed it to Fu Xiaoqiu on the side: "Come, Sister Qiu, you can eat." Since you came to the United States, you have been suffering from minor physical problems, and it is time to make up for it. ”
Fu Xiaoqiu took it and looked at Liu Yun. Liu Yun said angrily: "If the boss gives you food, you can eat it." With that, she sat on the couch and sulked.
"Boss, here's all the information for today, please take a look. Wise duly took out a folder from behind him and handed it to Chen Tianliao, which could be regarded as alleviating the embarrassing atmosphere.
Chen Tianliao took the folder and said to Wise, "Thank you, Miss Wise." But there's one more thing I want to bother you with. Can you help me get my two ducks back on Friday?"
"You want to raise ducks?" asked Miss Wise in surprise.
"No, our classmates are going to have a Baile meal on Saturday, and I have to prepare food. Chen Tianliao said.
"Paradise Meal? Boss, are you finally going to show off your legendary culinary skills?" Miss Wise asked delightedly.
Chen Tianliao nodded: "Of course I have to cook it myself." ”
Miss Wise was overjoyed and said, "Boss, can I taste the duck you made?" I heard Liu say that your cooking skills are also top in China!"
Chen Tianliao glanced at Liu Yun, nodded and said, "Okay, then you can buy two more ducks, and I'll do it together." ”
Wise nodded happily and said, "Okay, boss!"
Liu Yun's originally stiff face accidentally showed a smile. Chen Tianliao's craftsmanship, she has missed it for a long time.
Chen Tianliao did not stay in the living room for long. After a brief dinner, he returned upstairs with the folder.
In fact, when he came to the United States, he didn't need to do much in the management of the company, but only checked some major aspects, and the management was handed over to professional managers to take care of.
After coming to the United States, Chen Tianliao also took a general look at the Western game market. As in another time and space, games with regular themes, such as adventure, racing, sports, fighting, gunfights, etc., there are already a lot of games in this time and space, and there are many successful works, which are not inferior to another time and space, even if there are excellent works in the future, Chen Tianliao is not sure that he can beat the existing works.
Therefore, Chen Tianliao uses genre games that lack excellent works in this time and space to impact the market, which also helps his works to avoid reality and fiction, and gain a large market share and a good reputation without competing with similar works. The game company's funds have not been transferred to other places on a large scale, and Chen Tianliao has the conditions to make other games.
Chen's next plan is the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series. The GTA game series has many different Chinese names, such as Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto, and ...... The protagonist is a criminal genius, and the game is full of violence and SE love, even in the United States, it is full of controversy and criticism, and even was almost rejected by game retailers in the United States for a time, and in China you can only play the D version of the game. However, this game can effectively stimulate the adrenaline of players, and it is deeply loved by European and American players, and by the time of "GTA5", it has a performance of nearly 100 million total sales, which is impressive. This is a game with the console as the main carrier, so it needs to be developed separately. In addition, this game is more interesting with a 3D perspective, and in this era, both hardware and software, 3D game technology is not too mature, so this project is a long-term project, and it is only a project and preliminary preparation.
As for the Wa Kingdom, the development of the "Heavenly Punishment" series began. In the previous life, it was a smash hit LAN in a Chinese Internet café
Meteor Butterfly Sword has a lot of imitations of this game, Chen Tianliao wants to borrow the action game technology that the Japanese people are good at, first make a mature game, and then use it as a blueprint to develop Huaguo's own martial arts action game. This was also planned and developed by the technical team on the Wakoku side.
According to Chen Tianliao's plan, the three youth bands will release a pure MV album, which is also a pioneering move in the Chinese mainland music scene, which will surely bring a sensational effect and make them more popular with young people.
As for factories and laboratories, Chen Tianliao has done more to control the general direction, as well as to check the financial and product quality. As for marketing and advertising, the things accumulated in previous lives are still comfortable in this era.
As he finished flipping through the papers, the phone rang again.
"Hello!" Chen Tianliao picked up the microphone.
"Moxi Moxi (Hey), Chen San, I'm Maeda. I heard Lisa say you're going to dinner on Saturday?" a crisp and sweet voice came from the other end of the phone, all in English without the slightest Japanese accent, except for the first sentence in Japanese. It is a fact that the English of the Japanese people is generally not good, but the English of the Japanese people who have been educated by the elite is still good. This Maeda is also Chen Tianliao's classmate, called Ai Maeda, and she is the cousin of singer Hiroshi Maeda. Chen Tianliao's "Song of the Sunset" and other classics in his previous life were bought and sung by Maeda Hiroshi, which also promoted him from a second-rate singer to a stalwart singer in the Japanese country. Therefore, she admired Chen Tianliao so much.
"Yes. Chen Tianliao said. He was always a little scared of this fan girl. At this time, an ominous premonition also rose in his heart.
"Ah, that's great. Chen Sang, I have already told Lisa that I must put on the piano when the time comes, and please sing two songs for us. Your songs are so good, I have to let my American friends appreciate your artistic genius!"
Chen Tianliao was speechless. What else can he say to a girl who adores herself to the point of being almost brain-dead? God is sorry, he came to the United States, but he concentrated on studying. It's just that Ai Maeda has already helped him sell it, and it's not easy for him to refuse. In Lao Mei's dictionary, humility and cowardice are synonymous. He must not be looked down upon by Lao Mei.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianliao looked away again. Since it can't be low-key, let's shock Lao Mei. And Lao Mei admires people with skills, and when the time comes, she will poach from these classmates to enter her own company, and she really has to show her hands.
So he said to Maeda in Japanese language: "Since Ai-chan has a fate, the kid dares to disobey his fate? But if you say yes, I'll sing two songs, and if you have more, you can't do it." ”
"Okay, I'm looking forward to your performance!" Maeda on the other end of the line changed his tone with joy.
