I don't think so.

We don't need all those bells and whistles to make a splash.

Because we're gimmicks, we're hot discussions, we're sensations.

We don't need anything as an add-on to the game anymore, and the game alone is enough to cause the most unprecedented tsunami in the history of the gaming industry.

Isokoya pursed her lips and secretly slandered.

"That's right, President Gascogne,"

Aesop opened her mouth and said:

"Because we have entered the final stage of game development at this time, the whole game has been basically finalized in terms of plot and gameplay settings,"

"So this suggestion of yours ......"

Speaking of which.

Aesop spread her hands, saying that it was not easy to achieve.

Hear the words.

Gascony had no choice but to nod:

"It's a pity, but for the sake of safety, let's focus on your development rhythm,"

"But when the time comes, we still need to work hard in marketing and publicity."

Let's talk about it.

There was silence in the room.

For a while, the meeting seemed a bit cold.

Kanick, who should have answered immediately, responded to the leader's instructions, but at the moment he was out of the world, not knowing what he was thinking.

It was Aesop who reminded him a little before Kawnick reacted:

“…… Ah, yes, yes, yes! What the chairman said is that we ...... We will work hard! ”

Seeing this, Gascony was also a little suspicious:

"Is there anything you want to say about President Kawnick?"

As soon as this statement came out.

I saw Kawnick's expression froze.

He did have something to say.

He wanted to show the situation of the whole project to the top management of Vivendi-

Don't think about any fancy publicity anymore, because now this project is ...... It's a half-finished product.

Oh no, no, it can't be said to be a semi-finished product.

Strictly speaking, "On the Eve of the Catastrophe" does not even meet the standard of a semi-finished product.

It's a defective product.

Judging from the current situation, the whole game can be considered to be a semi-finished product at present, and only the part that was tried at the E3 exhibition was played.

Yes, it's just a small suburban block that can be reached in three minutes, with scattered buildings and crooked streets.

You read that right.

This trial street, which has been questioned by players before, is "a prototype that has not yet been perfected in the early stage of development" in their external publicity.

But in fact, it's already one of the most complete areas of actual game development.

We simply don't have the capacity to do such a thing.

The cost of one billion dollars seems to be sufficient and huge, and it can even be called the largest investment of Yunwei in recent years.

But in fact, if you look at it according to the standard they expected, not to mention that the billion knives still include the cost of publicity and distribution, even if it does not include publicity, all the funds are used to develop "The Eve of the Catastrophe", and the quality of its final work is far from the effect promoted in their trailer.

Because you know!

If Goldwind was really making a virtual world game under the name of Made in Heaven, as they expected, how much they had to go!

The development cost of the gold engine is 120 million dollars, the acquisition of Phoenix's perfect picture rendering module is 1.8 billion dollars, the upgrade of the sound module of Aurora Games is 65 million dollars, the acquisition of the dream engine to upgrade the reality augmentation module is 3.15 billion dollars, and the absorption of the Takasugi group to upgrade the security module is 215 million dollars.

Just the upgrade of the engine body plus the four major modules - the golden wind has burned more than 5 billion knives in the preliminary preparation process of this project!

That's it!

Not counting the investment in core technology research and development of physics and artificial intelligence, which are self-sustaining by the two golden winds!

Moreover!

All of the above technologies are not achieved overnight!

The huge amount of capital investment and the accumulation of up to five years of technology are by no means the whim of their Yunwei, and in just half a year of development time, they can achieve corner overtaking!

This is no longer a chasm.

It's the difference between the two worlds.

Not bad!

No matter how proud Yunwei was in the past, no matter how much Kaunic looked at him!

The fact is-

Today's Yunwei, whether in terms of development investment or core technology mastery, has been thrown off by the golden wind!

And!

Even if we take 10,000 steps back, we gamble with our lives!

What kind of person Shen Miaomiao, the chairman of the Golden Wind, is known to everyone in the industry.

That woman really dared to gamble with her entire net worth and the future of the entire group.

But what about us?

Do we Yunwei dare to gamble with all our net worth? Even if we dare, would you allow it?

Regret not being at the beginning.

Today, Kawnick feels more and more remorseful for his previous recklessness and self-confidence.

But it's a pity that there are no regret pills sold in the world.

In fact, he also saw that the high-level executives who now knew the inside story of this project had actually given up the project by default, and even gave up the ship Yunwei.

Although today's Yunwei seems to be calm, it is stable.

But in reality, it's all a sign of vulnerability.

The real Yunwei is actually an old and brittle piece of paper, just waiting for the official release of "The Eve of the Catastrophe", and all the dark injuries will erupt in a concentrated manner.

In this case, the high-level executives who know the inside story have already begun to secretly cash out to prepare for the final exit.

And that includes him.

Again, Kawnick is a business stupid, but he's not a downright retard.

Although the undercurrents in the company did not occur on the surface, they could not escape his perception.

Cownick is very entangled.

He knew that if at this time, at this juncture, he would tell everything he knew.

Then the project "On the Eve of the Catastrophe" will be immediately stopped for rectification.

After that, they should refund the money, apologize, and say that the project has encountered force majeure and needs to continue to postpone the sale.

In this way, although the impact of the market drop is inevitable, at least they can put the brakes on the brakes in time to contain the catastrophe and prevent the company from falling apart.

But what about after that?

Kawnick thought again.

Such an act will certainly protect Yunwei from collapsing the company like a blasted chimney.

But the sharp drop in market value caused by the sharp drop in stock prices will take them a long, long time to make up for it.

It could be five years, it could be ten years, it could be longer.

By then, even if they were really capable of making a full version of "On the Eve of the Holocaust," it would be too late.

Made in Heaven is afraid that it has already completed the unification of the virtual world and has become the only true god in the new era of somatosensory.

And.

What will Wivendi do with him?

You must know that the huge economic losses caused by such a major mistake cannot be made up for by him simply rolling up and rolling out.

The support of capital owners has always been a double-edged sword.

If the thunder of "The Eve of the Catastrophe" really explodes in his hands, then what he will face will be enough to pay astronomical compensation or even prosecution.

I can't plant here!!

But just half a second of hesitation!

Kawnick retracted the urge to confess in his head!

My billions of net worth and my life for decades to come must not be ruined here!

True!

It was Yunwei who discovered me, trained me, and made me!

But correspondingly, it is also what I have paid for decades!

Billions of net worth assets!

But this is all earned by Lao Tzu with his ability!

is greedy, and Lao Tzu is greedy with his ability!

The collapse of Yunwei can't be borne by me, and it can't all be counted on Lao Tzu alone!

My net worth and life must not be kidnapped, and even if my assets are empty, they are enough for me to eat and drink for several lifetimes!

Come to think of it!

The desperate Kawnick can't help but be evil and gallant!

"I do have something to say,"

Seeing that Cocknick took a deep breath and said:

"It's hard to speak, but I want to plead with the board...... Another amount of money will be used for the official launch of the game at the end of the month! ”

"Be sure to do what you say is grander than GW, more enthusiastic than GW, more sensational than GW!"

Bang dang!

The voice has not fallen!

Suddenly!

I heard the sound of the chair under Aesop next to her!

For a while, Cornik at the scene and Gascony on the video call were shocked and looked sideways!

Seeing Isokoya at this time, her face was slightly pale, and she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled reluctantly:

"Uh...... As a technical person in charge of engineering projects, I am not suitable to be present as a technical person in charge of the project."

"The decision-making of the core high-level, I'd better avoid it for the time being,"

"President, deputy director, you two talk in detail, I'll do the project first......"

Let's talk about it.

Seeing that Kanick and Gascogne nodded after being stunned, Aesop quietly exited the conference room with a sigh of relief, and then gently closed the door with her backhand.

Fucking maniac!

Simply a madman among madmen!

A desperate dog, a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, a greedy mad dog with no consequences!

Fuck——！！！

Isokoya, who had exited the conference room, had cold sweat on her forehead, and she was trembling and afraid!

He couldn't even believe what he had just heard from the ravenous mad dog Kaunik!

Plus the cost?!

It's not that Kawnick doesn't know the reality of "On the Eve of the Catastrophe"!

Judging from the actual situation of their project, even if it is the budget cost of another billion yuan, let them make the publicity to outer space and make a fucking galaxy!

It's also impossible to make any difference in the actual situation of the game after its release!

Or even the opposite!

The more vigorous their propaganda is, the more tragic the backlash will be in the end!

Kawnick is not a fool! He should be well aware of this!

So——!

What was the reason why the lion opened his mouth and asked for money again?

Isokoya's fingertips trembled!

Fucking filling, of course!

This madman, knowing that he can't do anything after receiving money, not only doesn't think about how to end it, but even wants to suck the blood of the parent company hard at the end!

It's just madness after the end of the road!

Isokoya was covered in a cold sweat!

Is Prestige's blood so easy to suck?

Can the blood of the capital giants across Europe and the United States be sucked casually?

Isolt was surprised, even terrified, by Kawnick's endless greedy madness—

If before, the trouble that this major loss brought to Cownick was a huge amount of compensation, or even a prison sentence.

Then when he danced on the tip of the knife again, intending to get more money in Gascony's hands, in order to fill his own pocket!

The final fate of this mad dog is not just as simple as a compensation lawsuit......
