Los Angeles, California, USA, at 7 p.m. local time, a regular season game of the NBA2008-2009 season is underway in Staples Arena.

The Houston Rockets came from afar to take on the Los Angeles Clippers on the road.

Although it shares a common arena with the Lakers, the Clippers at this time are compared to their city brothers...... Not compared with the Lakers, they are also out-and-out fish belly in the league, and their final record this season is the second-to-last, and they are signed for the top pick. Later, Griffin was selected as the champion in 09, and Paul joined in 11 years before he began his own rise road, of course, this is a later story.

At this time, their opponent is the star-studded Rockets, and the most familiar among them is, of course, Yao Ming and Maddy, two All-Star players. There is also the street ball king Alstom, who is nicknamed "skip to my lou", which many people in China translate as "through my soul", but in fact, it is not, to my lou has no special meaning, the focus of this nickname is only on skip, describing the gorgeous jump steps when watching him play; There is also the champion power forward Scola who defeated the American Dream Team at the Athens Olympics in '04 (although the stars are dim and many star players are not in the squad), and Artest, who has not yet changed his name to Ci Shiping......

Tsk, what a lineup that many Chinese fans are familiar with.

The opening two sides did not open the gap, and with 7 minutes and 34 seconds left in the second quarter, Yao Ming received Alston's pass and dunked in the air, and the score came to 29-24, and the Rockets took the lead.

Although it was an away game, the crowd at Staples Arena gave a round of applause, and the director gave Yao Ming a close-up, and then quickly cut to the first row of spectators on the sidelines.

Appearing in the camera are two oriental faces, a man and a woman, obviously a couple, the woman is holding the man's left arm with both hands, both of them are handsome, both are wearing Rockets jerseys, one No. 1, one No. 11, are laughing and applauding, and then turn heads to ears and whisper.

When the woman saw herself on the big screen, she smiled, and waved generously to say hello to the audience.

Although no one seems to recognize them......

George James, the host of ESPN, asked, "Is the typical Oriental face, a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, an Asian entertainment star?" ”

It's true that the NBA often captures stars from other countries, but not all of them are famous and everyone knows them.

The commentator, former head coach Van Gundy, who was fired by the Rockets last season, also shook his head and said: "It looks like a couple, that gentleman I saw before the game that he had a brief exchange with Yao, he should be Yao's friend." ”

Another commentator, Lakers Magic Johnson, also shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but I can assure you that lady is the most beautiful Oriental face I've ever seen." "After all, it's a magician, a famous playboy.

"Please give the men a little respect, too." The moderator reminded.

……

However, when the broadcast signal reached China, some people recognized it.

CCTV's broadcast was responsible for commenting and commenting on the game, Su Jun and Zhang Weiping, and when Zhang Weiping saw the camera switch to the two people, he said: "It seems that two Chinese appeared in the camera, or a sideline seat." ”

"We all know that this kind of sideline seat is also called Hollywood seat, which is generally some European and American entertainment star singers, the favorite position of Hollywood's big-name actors and directors, and the stars that everyone can call are generally on the sidelines of various venues. Not only is the price expensive, but some big teams have sidelines and some important games that cannot be bought with money. Zhang Weiping explained.

"It seems that these two people should be Chinese, they are very familiar, but they don't know each other."

In fact, even if you don't speak, purely from the perspective of physiognomy, there are still some differences between the three East Asian countries, Japan and South Korea, and Europeans and Americans may not be able to tell the difference, but we can still capture some details ourselves, especially on women, Japan's heavy makeup, and South Korea's more cookie-cutter facial features.

The host Su Qun took over and said: "I don't know either, ah, our director told me that it is the two bosses of a game company, yes, the game company, I also remembered it when he reminded me like this, these two are Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu." ”

Zhang Weiping smiled: "Are the bosses of game companies so young, and you usually play games?" I don't know. ”

"Hey, I don't play games, it's just that these two bosses usually have a better time reading their news on the Internet. The hottest video game in China right now...... I won't say the name, the two bosses themselves are also very popular on the Internet. ”

Zhang Weiping joked: "How is it compared to Sister Furong?" ”

What Director Zhang didn't expect was that because of this sentence, he was chased and scolded by fans of the game of "Eternal War" and the personal fans of two people on the Internet for several weeks......

……

In the homes of more players, or in the dormitories of college students who skipped class and did not go to class, many saw this scene and said, "Isn't this the total party and the total fish?" ”

The roommate took a closer look: "Hey, it's really the two of them." ”

"How did you get to the United States?"

"Let's go on a tour, maybe."

"Don't make new games, run out and travel! I'm going to turn black, what about "The Origin of Everything", I saw a few promotional news, and the release date has not yet been announced. ”

"Then you'll have to give people time to play games."

"It's good to give you a forecast to be released in the first half of 09."

"Ah...... That's right! ”

"What?"

"Didn't "Eternal War" go online in South Korea some time ago?"

"You know, I went to Hanbok myself and went around to help me accumulate popularity."

"Then this time it should be the United States.,Don't you know that there have been a lot of American messages on Twitter hoping that one will build a server in Europe and the United States as soon as possible."

"I know, Mr. Yu went to the United States last month, just to get American clothes, didn't you read her updated Weibo, I mean, what did Mr. Bao follow to do."

"That'...... The matter of the two people...... Who knows. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the smile was quite obscene.

……

In the final game, the Rockets defeated the Clippers 02-83 away, and Yao Ming scored 16 points, 9 rebounds and 5 blocks on 6-of-12 shooting.

They currently have a 4-2 record, while the Clippers have lost all six games.

After the game, Yao Ming first accepted a brief interview with reporters, and then walked to the sidelines, and the two were still chatting and had not left.

"Good fight." Ye Shenxi said to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming looked down at Ye Shenxi condescendingly, with Ye Shenxi's height, he really rarely had such an experience.

"Next time you go to Houston, I'll invite you to dinner, Mr. Dang, Mr. Yu." Yao Ming said, after all, this is an away game, and the team is also rushing back to Houston, and I don't know if Ye Shenxi has any other arrangements to come to Los Angeles, so I won't invite him today.

"No problem." Ye Shen Creek Road.

"Boss Yao, you still call me by my name, Mr. Yu always sounds weird." The "Mr. Yao" in Xia Qingyu's mouth is naturally the identity of the restaurant owner.

After chatting casually for a few more words, and after saying goodbye to the two, Yao Ming walked into the players' tunnel. He slapped Ye Shenxi, and originally wanted to shake hands with Xia Qingyu, but he felt that his sweaty girl was not happy, so he dispelled such thoughts.

"There's a camera filming us." Xia Qingyu and Ye Shenxi Road.

Should she pose for the camera, she wondered.

"Forget it, we're not public figures." Ye Shenxi knew what she wanted.

……

Yao Ming is also a gamer, and his encounter with the two came from one time, when his account was compromised.

He started playing "Eternal War" in his spare time during his return to China to participate in the Olympic Games, and although he could play it when he returned to the United States, the delay drove him crazy, and he slowly played less, but he still often visited the bazaar, buying and selling skins or something, and he would definitely have to open American clothes in the future anyway.

At the same time, he also started playing other single-player games on the FG platform, including Survival.

He also has two sets of mythic-level skins under his account, there are a few epic ones, and there are more than a dozen rare ones, and there are more than a dozen other games, and he has obtained a "collector" platform achievement. After the account was stolen, Yao Ming immediately contacted the customer service of Qingyu Network, but he could not provide the corresponding evidence to prove that the account was owned by himself (the secret protection tool must be used all), only to blame himself for registering too casually, and he also reported his name in a hurry.

"I'm Yao Ming." He said this directly to the herring customer service.

Of course, the herring fish customer service doesn't believe it, she has encountered players who say that they are Obama, and she has seen a lot of all kinds of players, of course, she also handles it impartially.

Yao Ming had no choice but to go to Ye Shenxi's blog to leave a message, and after contacting Ye Shenxi, he found his account back.

Ye Shenxi directly handed over this matter to Lu Liang, the most valuable skins in the account were gone, and by looking up the log records, he determined all the items he had before the theft, and after all were recovered, Yao Ming got back his Qingyu platform account.

What a story of twists and turns, so Boss Ye and Boss Xia met Boss Yao.

These two people came to Los Angeles today, really just to travel, watch the ball game, and spend the weekend, to be precise, Xia Qingyu came all the way from Seattle to spend the weekend with her boyfriend.

……

A month ago, a new company was quietly registered in Seattle, USA, under the name Fisoa.

The same is true for many Chinese companies that enter the U.S. without establishing a separate subsidiary, but rather as a branch.

It is not troublesome to register a company, compared to personnel recruitment, it is not a problem at all, thanks to the fact that the headhunting industry in the United States is also developed, and the salary offered by Qingyu Network is relatively competitive in the American game industry, and there is an endless stream of people who come for interviews.

Among the 25 positions openly recruited by Xia Qingyu, the average salary is 70,000 US dollars / year (about 440,000 yuan), and the per capita annual income of the United States in 08 is 41,300 US dollars, ranking fourth in the world, even compared with EA, the largest game company in the United States at this time, their per capita annual income is 65,000 US dollars, and the Qingyu network also has advantages.

Of course, this is only the average of all positions, and senior technical talents and managers will definitely be higher, and this depends on the person, and the salary is not capped.

Blue Fish Network is not a miscellaneous enterprise, in fact, the company is not in China at this time, it also has a certain influence in Asia, don't think that the national service and Hanbok of "Eternal War" are only played by Chinese and Koreans.

It also has a little popularity in the United States, thanks to the fact that the FG platform began to spread word of mouth among some players in the United States, although it may be that FG at this time in their eyes still has a bit of a "small game platform" feeling, because although some big manufacturers also have it, most international friends do not have a means of payment in RMB, and can only download some free stand-alone games to play.

The company will also maintain the standard of screening employees, not a new company has just arrived in your place to spend money to recruit people and pay a higher salary than EA, then Qingyu Network also hopes that employees will have at least the same level as them.

Especially in a city like Seattle, after all, the software capital, the herring fish network has also found a large number of professionals from the headhunter.

Count the high-tech companies located in Seattle, the most well-known giant hard, headquartered in Redmond, the eastern edge of the Seattle area, currently has about 40,000 employees here, it is said that walking on the Seattle road, turned around and fell and hit ten people, two or three of whom may be giant hard employees.

the world's largest aircraft manufacturer, Boeing; the largest e-commerce website and the originator of cloud computing, Amazon; A subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom T-Mobile, the world's second largest mobile phone operator; Expeida, the nation's largest travel website.

The headquarters of these companies are located here.

Other branches or subsidiaries in the city include offices in the city centre, including Adobe, storage system giant EMC, and Facebook.

As for the gaming companies, there is the headquarters of Ren Bliss America, and the biggest rival of Herring Network in the overseas market (and perhaps just her wishful thinking for now), Villefort, the gaming giant that owns Steem.

That's why Xia Qingyu set up a branch of Qingyu Network in Seattle, which is a city born for technology companies, and countless IT industry talents.

Ye Shenxi originally thought that Xia Qingyu just wanted to use the US branch as the same as the Korean branch, just as a game operation station, but when this girl sent him the list of personnel recruited in the past month, he realized that Seattle Fisoa is really likely to threaten the status of Funan's R&D headquarters, of course, not now, it is still too young.

The biggest problem in Funan is the lack of attraction for senior talents, Huangpu is fine, but in terms of research and development, even if some excellent game people in China admire the name of Qingyu Network and are eager for its salary, but when they look at the place of work in Funan, they hesitate.

The proportion of bachelors in the game circle is actually not as big as imagined, dragging a family with a mouth, and even having a family and children, it is really not so casual to want to move.

After Xia Qingyu came to Seattle, he finalized 14 professionals within half a month, most of whom have operational backgrounds, but also have research and development.

Among them, there are also active employees from Wilford and Ren Jile or Ju Hard who are planning to change their working environment for various reasons.

For example, one of them, Phil Robin, a 28-year-old guy from the former "Turtle Rock Studio", also maintained a cooperative relationship with Villefort before, including the computer AI of the two games "Counter Terrorism" Operation Zero and Origin, the Tour of Duty mode and the production of some maps.

They rose to fame with a zombie-fighting game, Survival Journey, and were acquired by Villefort as their studio.

Soon, however, Villefort announced the dissolution of the studio, just as Survival Journey was about to go on sale on Steem.

Disheartened, Robin decides to look for a new owner and sees a recruitment revelation from Fisoa.
