Chapter 11 Life is all about doing your best
At the same moment when Zhang Zhenliang and He Tao were having a cup of tea, the central conference room of the Linhai International Conference Center was full. There were a lot of people attending today, but most of them were from various game companies, and these people made up at least half of the overall attendees. The rest of the place is the perpetually seated man with his name stuffed in red paper in a plastic table, with drinking water and fruit in front of him.
The men stared blankly at the white curtain in the center of the convention center, over which the slides were being flipped one by one.
The people who participate in the bidding are basically in the shell of a game company, and one or two of the participants in these game companies always look less like the employees of the game company. These people are the core of the real bidding, they may come from certain positions, or they may just be participants in the audit. In short, when listening to the PPT speech, their expressions are more serious and focused than those of the gentlemen sitting on both sides of the long table in the inner circle.
It was the first time for Zhang Chao to participate in this kind of occasion, and it was inevitable that he was a little uneasy when he looked at the eyes around him. Sitting next to Zhang Chao were Yu Zheng and Xiaoqing, who were dressed as adults, and two middle-aged people who were slightly older. Yu Zheng didn't even introduce Zhang Chao to who these two middle-aged people were, and asked Zhang Chao to master the entire explanation process, depending on what it meant that these two were personal backgrounds or something.
Now the lecture is about a company that claims to have hired a famous Japanese game producer, and the company is boasting a miraculous scale, with more than 100 employees, and has produced several games that were once popular sports games. Because the scope of the game content in this bidding is very narrow, the game content given by this company is basically not innovative, and it directly came up with a war-themed game, which vigorously eulogized a group of people, and by the way, sprayed the power of the other side.
This is a typical example of learning film and television themes in recent years, the advantage of this is that it is easy to pass the review, and the disadvantage is that it is relatively lacking in innovation.
The art of the game is amazing, and the graphics look beautiful, but unfortunately because of the content, the head of the cultural department who listened to the lecture was drowsy.
Zhang Chao couldn't help but yawn, and secretly whispered to Yu Zheng at the bottom: "Can anyone play this kind of game?" ”
Yu Zheng sneered: "So I said a long time ago, the way of playing is definitely not good, it still matters, and it is difficult to change to other game companies to even be selected." ”
"Can we do that?" When it came to the end, Zhang Chao was a little apprehensive, "Why did I start to feel bottomless?" ”
"Speaking of relationships, we are no worse than anyone else." Yu Zheng took Xiaoqing's hand and said, the relationship between the two is basically not very shy of outsiders, "The rest is up to you." ”
Zhang Chao looked entangled: "The pressure is so great, don't scare me like this." ”
Yu Zheng laughed in a low voice: "This kind of thing is easier, the decision is not up to you and me, the main thing is that the adults sitting over there wrestle with each other." ”
Zhang Chao nodded, he has been in contact with Yu Zheng a lot recently, which has made him see the reality of this society a little clearly.
Many times, people don't have control over their lives, or even themselves, and have to face a lot of compromises.
The relationship with that company was also very hard, and it took about half the time to explain more than the standard time. Zhang Chao listened carefully at first, but after hearing it, he was embarrassed to yawn, and secretly complained to Yu Zheng: "This is really shameless, rearrange the words in the online game advertisement and take it out and read it, can you do this?" ”
Yu Zheng spread his hands: "People are happy." ”
This bidding meeting is very long, and Yu Zheng's explanation will not be available until the afternoon. During the lunch break, everyone had a bite to eat in the cafeteria next to the conference center. At a time like this, no one will really have an appetite except for the leaders who make decisions.
Yu Zheng planned to take Zhang Chao to eat something good next to the conference center, but Zhang Chao refused: "There is something to do in the afternoon, just take a bite, if it really goes well, let's talk about it." ”
Yu Lu met so many people who were uncomfortable if they didn't take advantage of themselves, and Yu Zheng also felt that Zhang Chao's sincere personality was quite pleasing.
The canteen of the conference center cannot be opened for free, and in fact, the price is not more expensive than any restaurant in Linhai, so everyone pinched their noses and endured it for convenience. Here will take the initiative to provide you with formal catering invoices, which is quite a good care for those company representatives.
Yu Zheng and the two middle-aged people who had been silent went to buy food, leaving Zhang Chao and Xiaoqing to sit in their seats and wait. Zhang Chao still looked left and right with a little Grandma Liu's mood, and found that many people were also observing themselves.
There is absolutely no way about this, no matter how Zhang Chao and Yu Zheng dress up, they are still tender, and it is natural for them to be frequently noticed. Zhang Chao still had dim sum hair at the beginning, but he felt quite calm when he was seen too much, and asked Xiaoqing while drinking lemonade: "Can you make a decision today?" ”
Xiaoqing's impression of Zhang Chao is also not bad, this is a psychological advantage, she doesn't like Su Yifan because the beauties around that kid are always better than herself, and she often squeezes Yu Zheng. In contrast, Zhang Chao's family is more ordinary, and his performance is not so aggressive. Compared with Su Yifan, Xiaoqing felt that Yu Zheng should be in contact with people like Zhang Chao.
"I shouldn't be able to do it today, I want six buffer times for everyone." Xiaoqing rarely had the patience to explain to others, "Whether it's spending money or contributing, or comparing interpersonal relationships, at least leave two weeks for everyone to do activities." ”
Zhang Chao was a little interested: "That means that the product itself is not important?" My speech is useless? ”
Xiaoqing wanted to nod her head, but felt that it seemed a bit cruel to admit it like this, so she could only say: "Yu Zheng thinks that the content is still very important." Anyway, everyone has a division of labor, you just need to do your best. ”
After that hotel turmoil, Xiaoqing's personality has also changed, and now it is not so easy to get into many things. Once upon a time, Xiaoqing herself never thought that one day she would comfort others with words, and she was still an otaku who had nothing to do with her life.
Over there, Yu Zheng had already finished queuing up and came back, and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?" ”
Xiaoqing became in a very good mood when she saw Yu Zheng, stood up and greeted her, and said, "I'm talking about the competing companies." ”
Yu Zheng's eyes swept around the restaurant, and he said in a low voice: "There are not many opponents, don't have any pressure." ”
Zhang Chao was a little unsure: "Why do I think that other people's eyes are not very kind to you?" ”
"Of course." Yu Zheng smiled and said, "Blocking people's money is like killing your parents, if you commit this, who will see you pleasing to the eye?" ”
Zhang Chao felt a little bored: "This is called competition? It's boring......"
Yu Zheng shrugged: "Of course it's not interesting, it's rarely interesting to make money." ”
"Su Yifan's matter is quite interesting." Zhang Chao disagrees with this statement, "I think he is quite relaxed." ”
When it came to Su Yifan and Yu Zheng, he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh: "Of course he is relaxed, it is free competition, you can do whatever you want." Like now, everyone has to pretend to be grandchildren desperately, and the last thing is not to see who pretends to be good. ”
When the meal came, several people began to eat, and when they were halfway through eating, Zhang Chao was a little surprised and pointed to the person next to a six-person table not far away and asked, "That is also a bid?" Why didn't I see it in the morning? ”
Yu Zheng glanced at it and said, "That's later, sitting behind us, it's normal that you didn't see it." ”
Zhang Chao was a little excited: "Do you know who it is?" ”
Yu Zheng shook his head: "I don't know what to do." ”
"That's Ah Hai, a particularly awesome person in the game world." Zhang Chao was a little excited, "He actually came to participate in this kind of thing?" ”
"I guess someone tied up on a warship." Yu Zheng guessed, "People who are really big game companies won't care about this money, they make more money than they sell white powder." ”
Zhang Chao nodded: "It's also possible...... Ah Hai is very powerful, the games he planned himself are all good, and he is a star in the game circle. ”
Yu Zheng couldn't help but glance at Ah Hai more: "Very powerful?" ”
Zhang Chao nodded: "Damn, I want to go over and ask for an autograph, but forget it......"
"You should talk to him in the afternoon." Yu Zheng didn't want Zhang Chao to do such a humiliating thing, "Are you confident?" ”
Zhang Chao originally wanted to say no, but when he looked at Yu Zheng and Xiaoqing's expressions, he suddenly felt that the so-called game world master was not so unattainable, and he was a little arrogant in his heart, and nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Yu Zheng smiled: "That's good, go back after eating, it's time for us in the afternoon." ”
The noon break was shorter than expected, the leaders had limited time, and several of the afternoon speakers were told not to exceed the allotted time. Zhang Chao ranked second in the afternoon, which can be regarded as a very good ranking.
When they entered together, Yu Zheng whispered, "I hope they didn't drink at noon." ”
Zhang Chao didn't have much experience, and he was surprised when he heard this: "What do you say?" ”
"I can't understand what you're saying after drinking too much." Yu Zheng said, "Although everyone has to make a secret effort on this kind of occasion, it will be more troublesome if they really don't listen to anything." ”
Zhang Chao suddenly had a bitter face: "My character is super poor, and I always don't drop my equipment." ”
Yu Zheng's face turned pale, and he was wearing a suit at this time, and he actually had the style of a successful person.
"The game of life is not the same as that."
Zhang Chao didn't say anything more, and followed Yu Zheng back to his position, holding the remote control for PPT presentations in his hand, his palms sweating.
Yu Zheng noticed Zhang Chao's nervousness, and whispered: "Don't be nervous, think about our rehearsals." ”
Zhang Chao did not calm down immediately as Yu Zheng hoped, but looked at Ah Hai, who was walking onto the podium in the center of the conference room, and said, "I don't think it's possible for me to speak better than him." ”
Yu Zheng took a deep breath and tried to persuade again: "Then think about Su Yifan, what kind of thing did he do that no one was doing at the same time, how could he do it?" ”
Zhang Chao thought of the good friend who often played games with him, although this kid's phone had been turned off for a long time, he still felt as if he had only met him yesterday.
Yes, it was Su Yifan who brought himself to this road, now if he encounters this kind of thing, will he be calm, will he be as unproductive as himself?
Thinking about it, Zhang Chao slowly spread out his sore palm.
"Okay, I'll do my best."
Most of the time in life, it's just these two words.
