Chapter 137 Fatty G's Visit (4K)
Qin Shaoyan woke up with a fright after receiving a call from Fatty G. He looked up at the time and saw that it was almost 11 o'clock.
Fifteen or six hours have passed since Fatty G received his call. This guy must have hung up the phone and gone straight to the airport.
Qin Shaoyan breathed a sigh of relief. He was so sleepy just now that he almost thought Fat G came through the portal.
He immediately said: "Don't move at the airport, I will pick you up right away."
Qin Shaoyan stood up quickly and called everyone in their sleeping bags, "Quick, get up, Fatty G has arrived at the airport."
The company immediately started to boil, and everyone sat up in a hurry. Start tidying up.
“Damn it!”
“He flew here?!”
“Nonsense, you can swim here instead of flying?!”
"Hurry up, clean up all the workstations!"
Qin Shaoyan ran into the bathroom, washing himself while thinking quickly about what to say after seeing Fat G.
Looking at the strong men from the art team squeezing in one after another, they threw themselves on the sink, took a handful of water with their hands and rubbed it on their faces, swiping two handfuls at random to wash their faces.
In the chaos of war, Qin Shaoyan caught Hong Fei who was brushing his teeth.
“Hurry up, I’ll pick you up from the airport in a minute.”
"Gulu gulu, poof!" Hong Fei spat out the foam in his mouth, "I won't go. I'll watch them at home and let Zhang Tianshi go with you."
"He will definitely go." Qin Shaoyan He quickly scanned the crowd and asked, "Where's Teacher Fan? Why didn't you see him?"
"It's Saturday, boss!" Hong Fei reminded him, "You promised him that you don't have to come over the weekend. ."
"Fuck! Call him quickly, he has to bring people over even if he is holding a solo concert!" Qin Shaoyan warned, "He is the host, how can we talk about technical issues when he is not here. "
Hong Fei was a little embarrassed, "What if he says he can't come?"
"Just tell him that Fat G is here, that's his idol." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "Then we'll wait and see which one is his favorite, idol or music."
Qin Shaoyan instructed After a few words, Zhang Pingyi, who was already ready next to him, started urging him non-stop.
The two of them got into the company's new car and headed straight to the airport.
Qin Shaoyan was not idle on the way, he kept sending text messages and began to spread the news everywhere.
At the same time, he took the time to make a phone call to Ren Yuxin from Penguin.
"Hey, Mr. Ren, I have some good news for you." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "The boss of V agency has arrived in Yanjing. I will pick him up right away. When will you come over?"
"Add Mr. B. Newell's schedule is very tight. If you don't hurry up, you will miss it."
Ren Yuxin was surprised and happy, and said quickly: "I'm already at Bao'an Airport in Pengcheng. I'll be there in the afternoon. Can you arrange a meeting between me and Mr. Gabe Newell when we get to the capital?"
"It depends on the other party's schedule, but don't worry, I will try my best to help you." Qin Shaoyan then lowered his voice, "Media. Have you made arrangements for reporters? "This is big news."
"I'll make arrangements now!" Ignored.”
"Okay, you can contact us quickly and ask the reporter to come directly to our company. I will be responsible for the arrangements then." Qin Shaoyan began to take care of everything.
"Mr. Qin, what you didn't say is quite interesting!" Ren Yuxin was very moved.
When looking for a business partner, you have to look for someone like Mr. Qin, who will arrange everything for you clearly.
Mr. Qin is such a good person!
"Mr. Qin, you will always be Penguin's best partner. We Penguin will never treat our friends badly." Ren Yuxin excitedly began to promise randomly, "As long as your company is on the list of partners, it will always be First up.”
"Thank you, Mr. Ren, for the compliment. I wish our two families a happy cooperation and become bigger and stronger together." Qin Shaoyan responded with a smile.
After a few commercial exchanges, Qin Shaoyan hung up the phone.
The best partner?
Just listen to this. Your greatest sincerity to your partners is to pay 100% tribute.
So I am not using you penguins purely for myself.
In order to prevent you from being imbecile in the future, I am going to be imbecile for once.
Is there anything wrong with this logic?
Looking at Qin Shaoyan's meaningful smile, Zhang Pingyi next to him glanced at it, thought for a while and said nothing.
Maybe Mr. Qin has some strange ideas, so it’s better not to disturb him.
……
After arriving at the airport, Qin Shaoyan quickly found G Fat and George who were in a daze.
"Hi, Gabe, George." Qin Shaoyan greeted them enthusiastically, hugging the two of them one by one, "Welcome to China."
G Fat looked up at the sky, a little confused Curious, "This is my first time coming to China. It's different from what I imagined?"
Qin Shaoyan smiled and said nothing, thank you for coming late.
Today's weather is quite long, with no sand or haze. If we come in March, we can still catch a sandstorm.
This is a period when sandstorms are raging. In 2002, the total dustfall in a sandstorm could reach as high as 30,000 tons, or 2 kilograms per capita.
Since then, there has been blowing sand or sandstorms almost every year, which has become the most annoying scene in spring.
"I'll take you to the hotel first." Qin Shaoyan put the two people's boxes into the trunk and asked, "You guys go to rest first. There is a reception banquet tonight. What do you want to eat?"
"NONONO!" Fatty G shook his head and refused, "I have already rested on the plane, and now I want to go directly to your company to see that cool game you mentioned."
"Okay "Okay, it's up to you." Qin Shaoyan looked at George, "George, do you want to rest?"
The boss said he was going to work, but George dared not say that he was going to bed. He sighed, "I'll go take a look too."
Since Fat G was so interested, Qin Shaoyan couldn't refuse, and the group was excited. Drove to Sentinel Technologies.
As soon as a few people got out of the car, a large group of reporters appeared around them and surrounded them.
Qin Shaoyan looked at several black and thick microphones and shouted at them. His posture was like an assassination, and he wanted to stuff it into his mouth.
"Hello, we are Sohu..."
"We are Sina..."
"We are NetEase..."
"Excuse me, Mr. Qin, is Mr. Gabe Newell here at your invitation this time?"< br>
"Mr. Qin, does your company have cooperation with the American company Valve?"
"Mr. Qin, people in the industry call you the number one player in Chinese games. What do you think?"< br>
"Mr. Qin! Some people say that you are just trying to gain fame, and you are not worthy of your reputation. They also say that the Golden Keyboard Award is a pheasant award. What do you think?"
Qin Shaoyan was leading people forward when he heard this question and was a little stunned, and then stopped. Angrily asked: "Which media are you from? Who said this?!"
"Slander! This is slander!" Qin Shaoyan said angrily, "The Golden Keyboard Award is a famous game award in the United States. The selection is held every year and is judged by senior game producers. Why does it become a pheasant award in the eyes of some people with ulterior motives? "Does he think he is more professional than Mr. Gabe Newell, an American game producer?" More powerful?”
The reporters nearby were full of excitement and wrote something quickly in their notebooks.
"Don't regard your ignorance as your personality, your ignorance as your strengths, and those who have never heard of something as if it doesn't exist." Qin Shaoyan said righteously, "Take the well-known film awards as an example. You have all heard of the Academy Awards. , Golden Palm Award, Golden Bear Award, so how many people have heard of the Golden Leopard Award?”
The reporters were all stunned, what is the Golden Leopard Award?
It couldn't have been compiled by Mr. Qin, but no one dared to ask, for fear of being regarded as ignorant.
However, there was a reporter from Sina who often worked on the entertainment industry who responded quickly. He immediately raised his hand and said: "I know the Golden Leopard Award, an award from the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland."
Good guy, it turns out there really is a Golden Leopard Award.
Qin Shaoyan glanced at the Sina reporter appreciatively, "The little girl has a bright future, and her industry knowledge is very solid."
Qin Shaoyan sighed and said in a tone of hatred that iron cannot be made into steel: "Here I want to advise someone People, I ask you to understand the basic concepts of game design. Don’t let the wind and rain start to envy famous designers who have won international awards when they can’t even win domestic awards.”
“ The development of our game industry is not easy, so don’t fight among yourself.”
“If anyone can sell more than 10 million games, I will give him the golden keyboard immediately.”
“Of course. , I believe that domestic game practitioners are all good and will not easily listen to the ulterior motives of a few individuals," Qin Shaoyan said righteously, "In order to promote the healthy development of domestic stand-alone games and encourage game industry practitioners, I am here. announced.”
"I will personally invest five million to establish a domestic stand-alone game support fund to reward outstanding game design talents."
The reporters wrote furiously one by one, quickly formulating exciting news headlines.
Today’s interview is worth the price of admission.
Ding Yang from Volkswagen Software took advantage of everyone's confusion and hurriedly squeezed to the front, "Mr. Qin, I am Ding Yang, the editor of Volkswagen Software."
"Hello, hello." Qin Shaoyan immediately recognized this acquaintance, "We met on ChinaJoy."
"Mr. Qin has a good memory." Ding Yang asked excitedly, "Is there any special reason for Mr. Gabe Newell to come to China this time? Is it just for inspection and tourism, or is it for further cooperation with Sentinel Technology?"
Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly and said slowly, "Valve Corporation of the United States and Chuxin Technology Co., Ltd. under my name are strategic partners. We have a long-term cooperation agreement. Valve Corporation is our designated game company in North America. Publisher."
"In addition to the field of game publishing, we will often communicate and learn from each other."
"Mr. Gabe Newell came here to communicate, and the second point is. The two sides are preparing to negotiate the details of the next game cooperation."
Ding Yang was surprised and happy, "Qin always has a new game coming out, can you reveal some inside information?"
"Yes, it is an FPS game." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "It is a shooting game that can be connected online."
Ding Yang couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Qin, there is news that your company is Is this news true that we are working with Penguin to obtain the license for the online version of Counter-Strike?”
“It’s business secrets,” Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.
"Mr. Qin, are the senior officials of V agency coming to discuss the online version of Counter-Strike?!" Ding Yang continued to ask.
"I'm sorry, I have no comment." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and said slowly, "But our company will listen extensively to the opinions and voices of players and continue to work hard to never let down everyone's love and expectations. Please wait patiently, we will launch more and better games to give you back.”
"As for Counter-Strike OL, please be patient. We will adjust and promote the company's next project according to the original plan."
Hiss, is this already a hint from Mr. Qin?
This is not a hint, this is basically an explicit statement!
The reporters turned to look at Fatty G again, turned their microphones away, and asked questions one after another noisily.
G Fat stood there awkwardly. He didn’t like being interviewed, but he was surrounded by reporters and couldn’t move, which made him a little unhappy.
Qin Shaoyan lowered his head and said in his ear: "Just say a few words to send them away, and our company's security personnel will be here soon."
"Everyone, be quiet!" Qin Shaoyan yelled at the reporter, "Everyone. Don't mess around, I'll call the names. Whoever is called and whoever asks questions has questions."
The reporters immediately raised their hands, and some of them stood on their toes and waved their arms desperately.
Qin Shaoyan didn't even look at the others and pointed directly at Ding Yang, "Popular Software, you come and ask."
Ding Yang excitedly raised the microphone and asked in stumbling English: "Mr. Newell, would Valve be willing to hand over the license for the online version of Counter-Strike to Chuxin Technology Co., Ltd.?"
"Of course I am willing." Fatty G smiled and nodded without hesitation, "We have a very happy cooperation with John. If he has requirements in this regard, we can negotiate and cooperate."
Interesting, G fat!
Qin Shaoyan secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart, you are really cooperative.
But we couldn’t let the reporters ask any more questions at this time. On the one hand, they were afraid that these reporters would ask difficult questions, and on the other hand, Fatty G was a little impatient.
"Okay, that's it for today. If there is any news, we will promptly notify our friends in the news media." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Let's all leave."
Seeing Mr. Qin giving the secret signal, several strong men immediately rushed out from the crowd, separated the reporters, and escorted Mr. Qin and his party into the company.
At this time, Fatty G breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "John, why didn't you tell me in advance when there was a reporter interviewing you?"
Qin Shaoyan also looked aggrieved, "This was not my arrangement. Yes, I don’t know where they came from.”
G Pang shrugged, “This is the first time I have received such a warm welcome. I feel like a star.”
Qin Shaoyan smiled and said: "Gabu, you are indeed a celebrity in China. The Chinese game player base is very large, with tens of millions of people. Most of them have played Counter-Strike."
"Wow." Fatty G exclaimed, "Is the Chinese market so big?"
Qin Shaoyan pondered, and was thinking about how to explain to Fatty G, when suddenly a person came out from beside him.
"Hello, Mr. Newell." Fan Xiaoqian reached out her hand and grabbed Fatty G in surprise, and said in fluent English, "I like your Half-Life the most, and Counter-Strike, can you Can you sign your name?"
G Fat was startled, "Who are you?"
Qin Shaoyan quickly introduced, "This is the main project of our FPS game. Fan Xiaoqian.”
Only then did G Fat feel relieved and shook hands with Fan Xiaoqian, "Hello, Fan, where do you want to sign?"
Fan Xiaoqian took out a genuine Counter-Strike game disc, "Just sign it here. "
Qin Shaoyan looked at Fatty G after signing his name and winked at Fan Xiaoqian, "Teacher Fan, let's take Fatty G to see the game demo, okay?"
"No problem, I have fixed all the bugs." Fan Xiaoqian said confidently, and then he changed the topic, "But wait a minute, what about your promise to me?"
Qin Shaoyan was stunned, "What's going on?"
"You promised me when we were at the bar that I would perform a piece for Fat G." Fan Xiaoqian rubbed her hands excitedly, "It's better to arrive early than to arrive late."
"What trouble are you making? Wait. We'll talk about it later." Qin Shaoyan rolled his eyes, "Besides, there's no drum set in the company."
"No need!" Fan Xiaoqian puffed up her chest, "I'm from Tianjin!"
Then Qin Shaoyan watched in stunned silence as Fan Xiaoqian took out a bamboo board from her pocket and started playing with it.
“There are so many bamboo boards...”
Qin Shaoyan: "..."
Everyone: "..."
G Fat: "╰(*°▽°*)╯"
Taking care of the children early this morning I went to the hospital with laryngitis + tracheitis. The child became ill during the Chinese New Year, and fell ill again a few days after he recovered.
