Chapter 258: Blizzard Headquarters

The river is elegant. 【】Comfortable seat and good service. Of course, the price is not cheap. The anti-hunger old juice is not bad for money now, so I ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee that I don't know if it is authentic or not, ran Warcraft, and landed on the platform just fighting, ready to join forces

Gu Nansheng hasn't been on planing for a long time, because all the Warcraft in Chinese Internet cafes are pirated, and he can't connect if he wants to, so he newly registered a planing pass, selected a server in North America, and started a long-lost planing

Even the time spent in the stagnation of celestial bodies, Gu Nansheng has not played such for several years, and now he suddenly plays again, it is inevitable that he will have some hands, and his consciousness is much worse, and he has played in the passerby bureau, but he has not been able to be a god.

The game is a thing that immediately regresses if you don't play for a long time.

Looking at his somewhat dismal record, Gu Nansheng smiled helplessly, switched to the desktop, downloaded one, and after installing and logging in, the information kept ticking, Gu Nansheng hadn't been on it for three or four months, and after opening it, most of them were group information, and there was a lot of information from individuals.

"Boy, where have you been messing around lately? Class reunions can't find you. ”

"Damn, you're not dead, are you? The donkey got married, and the partners back then sent you as the captain, and the brothers were thinking about whether to call the police, were you slaughtered? ”

"Ya, boss, you're too much, you won't come when I get married, and the next time we meet, I'll have to beat you up with Xiaoqiang."

"Boss, when did you show up, now the brothers are in... It's boring to mix in a room, and you don't open the black and don't miss the * point. ”

Gu Nansheng's nose was sour when he saw this, and the brothers who had once been together came to mind one by one, donkeys, mules, little six sons, strong babies, and classmates who used to be in the same dormitory."

Gu Nansheng touched his slightly moist eyes carelessly, and scolded with a smile, "This group of livestock! ”

He touched the keyboard and wanted to type a few words to reply, but after hesitating, he slowly lowered his hand, forget it,

Some things don't belong to you anymore.

Brothers, go well,"

Gu Nansheng turned off the dialog box one by one, only the last one was left, and he looked at the flashing avatar. But it is...... Geng Fei.

For a while, Gu Nansheng's heart was full of mixed feelings, this girl he had loved and hated, but now there was only a trace of nostalgia left.

After opening the news, there is only one sentence, is it okay to be recently? Hmmm" Happy Birthday.

Gu Nansheng was stunned for a moment, looked at the date, the news showed that it was the old day of Li Nianming, and checked the perpetual calendar, which was the sixth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, that is, Gu Nansheng's birthday.

Looking at those four words, Gu Nansheng didn't know what it was like, he was a northerner, and he had always had a lunar birthday, and he had never written a birthday on it, so no one could remember his birthday at all, but she didn't want to, she could still remember.

And her birthday, February 13 of the solar calendar, has long passed, and Gu Nansheng naturally has no blessings.

Forget it, it's all over, Gu Nansheng was about to turn it off, but a message suddenly popped up in the dialog box chatting with Geng Fei, "Are you there?" Is it really you? ”

Gu Nansheng didn't know what to do for a while, he used to log in by stealth on his computer by default, but this time he downloaded it newly, so he forgot to set stealth.

Gu Ransheng didn't reply, but Geng Fei said to himself, "After the breakup, I watched you online for the first time."

"I know you don't want to talk to me, but can you tell me where you are now? What are you doing? ”

Gu Nansheng took a deep breath and typed a line of words in pinyin, "I don't have anything to do now, and I have to change places after a while, so it's useless for you to know where I am." ”

Because it was written in pinyin, Geng Fei read it for a while before he understood, "Why is there no Chinese input method?" It's only five o'clock in the morning over there. Why did you get up so early? ”

"Huh? Are you in the United States? ”

Gu Nansheng suddenly had a big head and showed his address.

He knew that Geng Fei was studying in the United States, and the summer vacation in the United States was very long, from mid-May until the end of August. So Geng Fei should have just graduated from graduate school now. "What city are you in?" Although she couldn't see Geng Fei's expression, Gu Nansheng could feel it, she was surprised and anxious.

"I might have to go to Los Angeles." Gu Nansheng typed pinyin.

"Ross? Oh my God, I happen to be in California and I'm going to Los Angeles to look for a job. ”

Hearing Geng Fei say this, Gu Nansheng didn't know whether it was bitterness or helplessness.

In fact, Geng Fei was in California, which he expected, because her school was in California, and as the largest city in California, it was normal for Los Jersey to go there to find a job.

"It's so hard to find a job, I've hit a wall many times, and I've been using my family's living expenses, so embarrassed." Geng Fei typed this line a little helplessly.

In fact, although the United States is rich, the middle class is still quite miserable, the taxes are relatively heavy, and benefits such as subsistence allowances are insulated from them, although it is cheap to buy a car, but it is expensive to maintain a car, and although the salary is high, the consumption is also expensive.

Moreover, the U.S. economy has continued to be sluggish in recent years, although the economy has picked up with the government's several cuts in wages and taxes to promote consumption, but there are still some difficulties in finding employment, especially for recent graduates like Geng Fei.

The conversation fell silent, and although both of them were in Luo Yuan, neither of them mentioned meeting.

After a long time, Geng Fei typed out a line of words, "Do you have a place to live in Luo Yuan?" Hmmm "The hotel in Los Angeles is expensive, if you don't have a place to stay, my classmate has a small apartment"

Gu Nansheng could also think with his toes that the apartment must have been lent to her by Geng Fei's classmates, so she said that she would see herself.

Gu Nansheng replied lightly: "No need, my friend has a place to live." ”

Blizzard will of course provide accommodation for Gu Nansheng, and it is a luxury villa in the suburbs.

"Oh" Geng Fei seemed a little disappointed, "I used to call your mobile phone, and the prompt number has expired."

When Geng Fei said this, he naturally wanted to ask Gu Nansheng for a number, but Gu Nansheng didn't have a mobile phone now, so he replied: "I don't have a mobile phone for the time being." ”

"Hmm" seems like a perfunctory word to Geng Fei, "Then" Let's get in touch again when we have a chance, my American number has not been changed, if you have time, I want to meet you, okay?" Geng Fei's words already carried a hint of begging.

"Okay." Gu Nansheng hesitated for a long time before typing these two words, he said here and looked at the time, it was almost time to make an appointment with the personnel of Blizzard, and he had to rush to the agreed airport.

Called a taxi, but he still hasn't forgotten the hunger at the airport.

"I'm going down, huh."

"Stay"

turned it off, Gu Nansheng sighed with emotion, packed up his feelings, and rushed to the airport.

A few hours later, a Boeing Blade private plane flew to the Boston airport, and after some time, seven or eight men in crisp suits walked out holding a sign with turtle feet written in Chinese. The big man is more than 1.9 meters tall, with slightly brown skin, a flaxen-colored head, and a tall nose, which looks very strong.

Gu Nansheng saw the crooked words "Mr. Gu" written on the sign from a distance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, these people's words were much worse than his own.

Wei Dahan recognized Gu Nansheng at a glance, he walked over in a hurry, and his mouth turned out to be in Duota Continental, "You are Mr. Gu, right?" ”

Gu Nansheng also replied in Duota Continental: "Yes." ”

Finally meeting someone who could communicate, he felt for the first time that this strange-sounding Dota continental-language was so kind.

After receiving an affirmative reply, the man immediately saluted respectfully, "Kriz has seen your lordship. ”

Gu Nansheng couldn't help but open the Eye of Sargeras to observe this person named Kritz, judging from the energy fluctuations on his body, he was probably a first-order powerhouse.

He was also a member of the Roland organization established by Arthas, but of course only a low-level member of the organization.

"You're the one who suggested to me to swim in from Eisenfrog's assistant?"

Kritz was suddenly a little embarrassed, "I really can't think of any good way, I have been wronged, I will definitely invest in industry in China in the future." It is guaranteed that this condition will not recur.

Gu Nansheng smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's also fun to swim across half the world, when can I see Eisenfrog?" ”

"I'm afraid it's going to take a few weeks, Lord Eisenfrog and Lord Eisentingborg are experimenting."

Gu Nansheng is not in a hurry, anyway, it doesn't matter if he stays for a few weeks, or a few months, it's only a moment to go back, and it's not bad to relive the modern life on the earth.

"Ma'am, let me introduce you, this is Sam King, the vice president of Blizzard."

Kritz said, pointing to the man beside him.

It was a middle-aged man who was severely bald, with a tall nose, a golden beard, and a big belly that looked like he was three or four months old.

Gu Nansheng could see at a glance that that person was just an ordinary earthling, after all, it was not easy to tear the space and get people from a multi-tower continent to the earth, so there were only four people from the multi-tower continent on the earth, not counting Gu Nansheng, Eisentoinburg, Eisenfrog, Kriez, and Amos.

All four of them appear as behind-the-scenes shareholders of Blizzard's parent company, Prestige Global Group.

Although Blizzard is well-known in the game industry, it is actually just one of several large game companies in the game industry.

It can be said that Blizzard is only a small part of the industry under the prestige force.

In this generation, the game industry is just a small head compared to finance, media, and real estate.

Kritz may not be very inconspicuous in the Duota continent, but on Earth, he is a powerful figure in the world economy, and Sam, the vice president of Blizzard, is just a part-time worker in front of him.

Aunt Shan naturally didn't understand the Dota Continental, and didn't know what the boss was talking to Gu Nansheng, he was very enthusiastic, and excitedly spoke frowning Chinese with Gu Nansheng, "Hello!" Good! Very good"! Westerners are very cheerful and casual, although Sam is surprised that there are still big people in these circles who can make the boss salute, but he is not restrained because of Gu Nansheng's respected status, looking at his posture, it seems that he can't wait to come up and pat Gu Nansheng's shoulder a few times.

Aunt Shan only knows a few words in Chinese. Then I can only speak English.

Gu Nan has no contact with English, and has long forgotten all about them. Barely understand some of the greetings, and the rest are completely unaware.

Kritz flipped through these words one by one, nothing more than some welcome to our country, welcome to Blizzard and something like that.

A few people chatted while getting on the plane, the endurance of the Boeing 7 is not very good, and the maximum range of attacking one is probably less than 6,000 kilometers, and from Los Angeles to Boston is almost from the northeast corner to the southwest corner of the United States, the flight range is about 5,000 kilometers, and the airport refueling truck is refueling the plane at this time.

Speaking of which, Gu Nansheng is still the first time to make an airplane, and the modified 7 office cabin is luxuriously decorated, with all kinds of facilities, and it really feels like a presidential plane.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the plane took off from Boston, and Gu Nansheng slept peacefully on the soft bed of the plane.

Absolute luxury.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Nansheng and his entourage flew to Los Angeles, where a limited edition Rolls-Royce Extended Phantom was already waiting.

The Rolls-Royce may not be the most expensive car in the world, but it is undoubtedly the most noble car in the world, and it is a symbol of the British royal family.

Gu Nansheng has lived for more than 20 years, and he only once saw a Rolls-Royce at the gate of the school's West Lake Garden, and the car attracted many students to watch at that time. Others take pictures with their mobile phones.

The bodyguard has opened the door, and the interior decoration can no longer be described as luxurious. The fiery red leather sand is bright but not dazzling, the glasses are made of crystal, the velvet carpet is so soft that you can't bear to step on it, and even the clocks and pens in the car are encrusted with rubies and diamonds.

Gu Nansheng took a deep breath, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, he didn't expect that he would be able to sit in a Rolls-Royce one day.

The car drove all the way, passing through the suburbs, without high-rise buildings and congested traffic, only rows of villas with different styles.

The enthusiastic Uncle Sam turned over and over with Gu Nansheng to talk to Gu Nansheng about those few sentences of Chinese that may be learned by the Internet, Gu Nansheng really couldn't stand it, I want to say that we still speak English, my English is at least better than your Chinese.

Finally arrived at Blizzard headquarters and got out of the car. Gu Nansheng has two feelings, one is that this headquarters covers a large area, and the parking lot in front of him alone is enough to defeat a large auto show, and the other is that the buildings here are much shorter than imagined, with only three floors.

He originally thought that Blizzard's headquarters should be in the bustling city center of Los Angeles, with office buildings towering into the sky, and from the spacious and luxurious president's office, he could overlook the panoramic view of Los Angeles City.

But I don't want Blizzard's headquarters to be located in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Although the headquarters covers a large area, there are only four office buildings.

In fact, this is easy to understand, because Blizzard is not a large company in the United States, and it is mainly research-oriented, and the operation and sales of games will be entrusted to operators and sellers, so Blizzard does not have many employees, and the office building is naturally not large.

Four Confucian-style office buildings are clustered together, with a predominantly white and blue tone, and the rest of the place is a large lawn and vegetation, and there is even a beach volleyball court.

Gu Nansheng felt that this place was not a company, but more like a park.

The most conspicuous is the ostentatious orc wolf riding sculpture located in the center of the four buildings, the expressions of the orcs and the giant wolf are vividly depicted, and even the cracks of the armor have been finely carved, and the whole statue is full of the beauty of power, which makes people feel their blood boiling.

Walking into the building, Gu Nansheng was shocked by the scene in front of him, unlike the low-key and restrained white outside the company, the inside of the building was simply a magical world.

Along the way, there are murals and models of classic game images created by Blizzard, including the simulated frost sorrow, the fresco of the flamboyant demon hunter, the realistic statue of the interstellar Zerg queen, etc., and even the floor plan on the first floor is made to look like an ancient map of the World of Warcraft, which makes people feel as if it is some kind of secret treasure map.

The glass case next to the wall displays all sorts of interesting memorabilia, including original designs, models of various game characters, and many letters from Blizzard fans, including letters from astronauts from space.

Blizzard staff are working in the game, and their computers are surrounded by all kinds of fancy and glamorous game elements, rows of game CDs, thick game background books, employee collections of game character figures, and even the lamp holders of wall lamps are made of simulated skulls.

Gu Nansheng really doubts that in this environment, can they really work with peace of mind?

Walking to the library, Gu Nansheng took out the colorful official history of Warcraft with great interest and began to read, this time he came in a hurry, President McMohan was still in Europe, and he would arrive in the afternoon.

Of course, Gu Nansheng's visit to Blizzard had nothing to do with Mohan, but the personnel of Blizzard subconsciously thought that Gu Nansheng was a behind-the-scenes shareholder from the parent company Weiwangdi Group, so it was also appropriate for employees to come to meet the boss.

At noon, Gu Nansheng dined at the Blizzard restaurant, where the lunch was very rich, all kinds of sandwiches, steaks, bacon, and the environment of the restaurant was also very elegant, which was really a paradise for migrant workers.

It's a pity that Gu Nansheng is not very suitable for authentic Western-style steak, feeling that the meat is too hard, the fiber is too coarse, and there is no delicate taste like Chinese and Western food.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, McMohan rushed to Blizzard's headquarters. Mohan is on the thin side, with deep-set eye sockets and a somewhat gray head and beard. He looks a little old, and he always has a kind smile on his face, giving people an approachable feeling.

Gu Nansheng also admires this legendary man who single-handedly created a demonic beast, Mohan is just an earthling, he just listened to Kritz's description, and turned a huge world into an epic game, which is really shocking.

Mohan is the soul of Blizzard, but he is not the boss of Blizzard.

Although among the myriad, interstellar, Warcraft, and dark players, Mohan is a god-like existence. But in terms of status, he is much worse than the head office of the prestige forcing group, and even less than the behind-the-scenes shareholder of Prestige Di, Kriz.

Gu Nansheng didn't come to see Mohan this time, but he chatted with Mohan happily, while the economic giant Kritz concentrated on turning Ze.

For Ke Guzi, there is nothing to be aggrieved about, Gu Nansheng is an existence comparable to a legendary hero, but he is only a first-order powerhouse.

However, Mohan felt a little uncomfortable, and it seemed a little unreasonable to let his boss's boss do it.

He regretted that he hadn't hired a Chinese translator in advance, and that none of the employees at Blizzard knew Chinese.

"Good afternoon." Zhou Yang, a Chinese student who had just received his master's degree, walked into the door of Blizzard's office building with some excitement and apprehension and greeted the beautiful front desk lady.

Zhou Yang wore a black professional suit today, the white satin collar was not open, but her plump and straight breasts still had a little charming furrow exposed, and the short skirt was just up to the knees, revealing the stockings that were as thin as cicada wings, and a calf that was as round as jade.

"Good afternoon, do you need anything?" The front desk lady asked with a polite smile.

"The interviewer informed me to come to the assistant manager interview in the afternoon, I wonder if I can go in now?" Zhou Yang's English is very fluent, with a pure American accent, which surprised the front desk lady.

There are many beautiful Chinese who speak English, but there are really not many who can say that the taste is so pure.

"Of course, what is your number?"

Nu. Although Zhou Yangsu believed herself, she was a little discouraged after reporting this number, which proved that there were at least 55 people who participated in the interview for this position.

And she is just a student who graduated from the network and has no work experience.

Although she has always been excellent, it is still too difficult to stand out from the crowd.

": Blade, the location is the girl's room, good luck!"

"Thank you." After Zhou Yang learned the location, he took a deep breath, straightened his well-nourished chest, and said to himself secretly. "Zhou Yang, you can do it."

Strode towards the elevator, the net walked a few steps, and the voice of the front desk lady came from behind, "I'm sorry, the company has an important guest today, and the elevator is temporarily dedicated to the company's high-level officials." Please go this way. ”

"I'm sorry." Zhou Yang spit out his cute tongue a little embarrassed, and the net was about to turn his head, but he heard the elevator for senior leaders ding, and the elevator door opened immediately. The six of them walked out slowly, and the one who walked in front turned out to be a young man in his twenties, and he was still a yellow race!

He's also a high-level Blizzard?

Is there such a young yellow race at the top of Blizzard? And look at his appearance, even Chinese.

Although the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Southeast Asians, and Mongolians are all yellow, there are still some differences when you look closely.

Half a position behind the young man was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, who was extremely tall, about 1.9 meters, with a high nose, brown eyes, and a flaxen-colored head, who seemed to be a mixed-race child.

Behind him was a thin man with a gray beard. Looks like a kind little old man, this person seems to be a little familiar, as if he has seen it on the newspaper network?

This chapter is 6,000 words, or don't count the tickets, and the monthly ticket recommendation ticket is not
