Chapter 329: Welcome to Sea World
When Ye Shenxi had a "tryst" with Chen Xinghan at USC, the American media "Los Angeles Times" reported the meeting between the two game producers, analyzed the significance of the meeting, and gave its own interpretation. Because they are both Chinese, everyone believes that they should be more willing to cooperate, of course, it may be just ordinary coffee chatting, but this is obviously not in line with the public taste.
Later, after Ye Shenxi returned to China, some media revealed that Chen Xinghan and another partner of the company, Kelly, went to China together.
For more than a month, there have been all kinds of speculation and public opinion, and a hundred flowers have bloomed, and some angles are still tricky.
However, the herring network and "that game company" did not make them wait too long, on November 14, the two companies jointly announced that "that game company" accepted the offer of the herring network and will begin the official acquisition process. If the acquisition is completed, "that game company" will officially become another studio with independent game development capabilities under the global territory of Qingyu Network.
The two companies did not disclose the exact price of the offer, but the media widely speculated that it was about $23 million to $27 million, and although "that game company" has completed the development of three independent products, and "Flower" has achieved impressive downloads on Soni's PSN, the game itself is not very commercial, the process is short, and the company itself is not large, with only about a dozen employees.
12 million is already a price speculation that has inflated the bubble in the game industry in recent years. Moreover, judging from the content announced by the two companies, even if the acquisition is successful, Chen Xinghan still has control over the projects developed by their studios, and can decide the direction and style of their own projects, of course, this is their biggest competitiveness.
Moreover, the so-called good shade under the big tree and joining the sea world of the herring network not only means that they can move from PS exclusive to a broader platform, but also can obtain unique advantages based on the FG platform on the PC side.
Well? Speaking of Sea World...... Many players are a little different from ordinary people, and they began to speculate on the forums whether this studio will change its name, and what it will be called fish like other studios under the herring fish network.
This name has not yet been made public, but it has been determined internally, first of all, Kelly is speechless in this matter, for the fish in ancient Chinese mythology, she is a little confused, Chen Xinghan turned over some mythological history, and the ancient legend put forward a suggestion: Hebo.
This name didn't need to be reviewed by Xia Qingyu, and Ye Shenxi directly said to Chen Xinghan that you think too much, but it can't be done if you get involved with water.
According to Xia Qingyu's temper, the head office is a herring, but you are Hebo, and this is okay.
Finally, the Emperor of Fish gave a child: Dace.
During the conference call, Chen Xinghan was puzzled and asked the Fish Emperor: "Is there an allusion to this name?" ”
The Fish Emperor smiled and said, "Do you want to know the ten sons of the Demon Emperor?" ”
Chen Xinghan said: "I haven't heard of the details. ”
The Fish Emperor said: "The ten sons of the Demon Emperor Jun are the ten days of the ancient firmament, according to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas? Overseas East Longitude records: There is Fusang in the Tang Valley, bathed in ten days, in the north of the black tooth. In the water, there is a big tree, which is on the lower branch for nine days, and the upper branch for one day. ”
Ye Shenxi interjected: "Do you have to speak in this way?" Can you have a good chat, what dome, I'm still in the spring field. ”
Yang Wei also said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”
So Chen Xinghan asked: "But the ten days are with us...... What does it matter......"
Xia Qingyu said: "When the process is completed, the new project you are developing is the "Wind Journey", which will be the tenth game of the Qingyu Network." ”
Chen Xinghan counted on his fingers, "Immortal Dao", "Proud Sword...... "Eternal War", "Survival", "The Origin of All Things", ...... Li Zhi's new project MMORPG, as well as "Getaway", so "Wind Journey" is indeed the tenth.
"And then?" Ye Shenxi also asked, his brain hole always couldn't keep up with Xia Qingyu.
Xia Qingyu said: "The tenth son, Jin Wu, later turned into a Lu Zhuan Dao person. ”
Chen Xinghan didn't know this very well, but he had a little impression: "That's it, the Immortal Flying Knife?" ”
"Yes, the people of Lu Zhusan live on Dace Island in the North Sea, so you will call it Dace Studio."
As soon as Xia Qingyu's words came out, the audience in the conference room was silent......
……
Before returning to the United States, Chen Xinghan also participated in the employee activities of Qingyu Network, in the past few days in Funan, he was very interested in the corporate culture and employee atmosphere of this new owner, which is very different from some other large domestic game companies he has been in contact with, you can't see the fatigue after busy work, the fatigue after overtime, many people are lively and positive, making him feel as if he is not working, but really working hard for what he wants to do.
Indeed, the same is true of the previous 2PP's "Three Heroes of Literature and Art", they have also filmed other local game companies in the United States, but in terms of freedom of work, Qingyu Network is one of the leaders. The staff are armed with their compliments, especially the art, and several shelves are full of models and figures, so you can make a small exhibition.
When discussing the problem, it was a beep when I stood up, and I was pulled directly to the lounge without any result, and a few people made a cup of coffee and slowly broke it on the soft sofa. Some even went to the billiards room to play billiards and theorize at the same time.
But they are not lazy and slippery, but for this group of mental workers, a comfortable environment is more likely to inspire surging inspiration...... The truth is, when you're out in such a work environment, working with these amazing colleagues, you're working on such a great project......
Your pursuit is not just to make a living, just rub a little salary and it's OK.
So he also saw that after some people poked a shot out of the black hole, their eyes changed from dull to clear at that moment, and their expressions changed from facial paralysis to Jim Carrey, and then they directly threw off the club, returned to the station, and then quickly tapped the keyboard, shaking their heads, and devoting themselves wholeheartedly, as if Lang Lang was in control of the piano.
He also went to the movies with the army, and the staff of the Blue Fish Network watched movies became a tradition of the company, and also branched out in Huangpu, Seoul, London and Seattle, where the branches would also take one day a month, no matter how busy they were, to charter a few movie theaters so that they could rest without working overtime...... You can bring your dependents.
There are also dinners and sometimes Sunday parties, and Chen Xinghan also attended one when he was there, and invited Ye Shenxi.
It's a bit of an anti-customer-oriented feeling......
It is true that Ye Shenxi does not participate in the holiday activities of the employees very much, and if Xia Qingyu is in Funan, the two of them will attend together and have fun with the people, but even if the two have affinity, the location is there, and it is estimated that many people will not be able to play at the scene.
At present, the more popular weekend party activity of the herring network is board games.
Funan can now find some specialized board game stores, but they are still new in a small circle, almost limited to the white-collar class with good incomes in the city, and there are also some students with more pocket money...... And it's a small group of people who are interested in games and new things that have come from overseas.,It's a small group of people who are on the front line of popularity.。
In the herring fish network team, Rao Bin and Tong Ling, a young couple, are one of the most active people, and they are the ones who organize and pull people on weekdays, and they are also the most familiar with the owner of the board game store...... Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu sometimes feel like they are together as playmates, and they don't know how precious the world of the two is.
Because there are newcomers joining this time, they gave up the DND running group game they usually play, the rules are more complicated, and it is not easy to bring newcomers, and it is this kind of newcomer who obviously only participates once and will return to the United States soon, and it is too cost-effective to take him on the road.
After asking, Chen Xinghan has never touched this thing before, and it is estimated that he will be dizzy when he sees the dice, and there are so many noodles? Shake it out is not 78 points, big!
So I played for a while, which is simple to use and easier to promote, "Werewolf Killing".
