Chapter 155 Why did our award go to Blizzard
Sentinel Technology Company, reception room.
He Jingmei, vice president of Sohu, was sipping milk tea and reading the newspaper boredly.
“The E3 exhibition in Los Angeles has come to an end, and Huaxia Games has shined.”
“Huaxia Games has gone from the trough to the world.”
"The dark horse at the E3 game exhibition, the low-key Huaxia Game Company."
"Huaxia Games has become a highlight of the international game exhibition."
"Reported by Xinhua News Agency (Reporter Qu Bingbing) , the three-day global game industry event, the Electronic Entertainment Exhibition came to an end in Los Angeles, USA. Huaxia Game Company participated in the exhibition on a large scale for the first time..."
"Among them, Huaxia Game Company Chuxin Technology became the biggest highlight of this year's event. …”
“For China’s game industry, which is just in its infancy, we may need blockbuster works too much…”
Sohu Vice President He Jingmei shook the newspaper in her hand and said with emotion: "This Qin Shaoyan is really amazing. He quietly retreated for a month and made such a big noise."
" They said before that he was the number one player in the Chinese game. I still didn’t believe it, but now I can’t accept it anymore.”
“Look at this situation, there are reports on the front pages of several newspapers, including Xinzhong. Interview by a reporter. "
NetEase COO Dong Ruilong, who was sitting next to him, didn't even raise his eyelids and nodded perfunctorily.
He Jingmei put the newspaper aside and glanced at Dong Ruilong, "Mr. Dong, does NetEase have any plans to develop stand-alone games?"
Dong Ruilong nodded, "Take a look and then talk, look and talk again."
"Mr. Dong, why are you still hiding it?" He Jingmei said dissatisfied, "The game demo I made in a month, I don’t believe NetEase is interested in selling it for 20 million US dollars.”
Dong Ruilong was speechless, “So what if you are tempted?”
“Two thousand dollars?” If ten thousand dollars is so easy to make, those companies that make stand-alone games won’t all make online games.”
He Jingmei rolled her eyes, “You are boring, I didn’t say you have to be on par with Qin Shaoyan. ”
"Run two stand-alone game studios and try the waters. Not to mention 20 million US dollars, even 2 million US dollars can be earned."
"But you NetEase's recent online game boom, you must not like these. Small money."
Dong Ruilong couldn't laugh or cry, "Mr. He, don't just talk about our online games, your Sohu project will also be launched this year."
"Hey, I don't know what's going on with Sword OL. , I definitely can’t compare with your Fantasy Westward Journey.” He Jingmei said with some envy, “NetEase is going to be the biggest winner in the industry this year.”
“What the biggest winner?” Dong Ruilong pointed outside. Penguins are the biggest winners this year.”
"They are joining forces with Qin Shaoyan to launch Counter-Strike OL."
"If such a big game IP is launched, the number of people online will surpass us in minutes."
He Jingmei was a little surprised, "Hey , Didn’t that refute the rumor?”
“That’s bullshit.” Dong Ruilong sighed, “Penguin and Mr. Qin have hooked up a long time ago. How could such an obvious win-win situation be false?”
He Jingmei looked up and saw Penguin Ren Yuxin coming out of Qin Shaoyan's office with a smile on his face and walking away with ease.
Dong Ruilong sighed and stood up, "Mr. He, I'll go over first, please wait for a while."
Before He Jingmei could react, Dong Ruilong hurriedly walked into Qin Shaoyan's office, seemingly a little agitated. Impatient.
He Jingmei was a little surprised, why was Dong Ruilong so urgent?
......
Looking at the expressionless Dong Ruilong walking in, Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Mr. Dong, why are you free to come here today? Please sit down."
< br>
Dong Ruilong didn't waste any time and said straight to the point: "Mr. Qin, are there any problems with your Golden Keyboard Award?"
Qin Shaoyan frowned immediately, "Mr. Dong, what does this mean?"
"Nothing else." Dong Ruilong asked, "Is there any problem with the Golden Keyboard Award? There are no outsiders here. Please tell me the truth."
Qin Shaoyan looked at the other party and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Dong, have you heard any rumors?"
"It's not rumors." Dong Ruilong said with a stern face, "Someone mentioned this matter to Boss Ding. It is said that someone went to the United States to investigate, and then the game circle It has been said that there is no Golden Keyboard Award at all.”
If someone had said that the golden keyboard was fake before, Qin Shaoyan might have panicked, but now he was as stable as a rock and did not panic at all.
Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Then who is spreading the news?"
Dong Ruilong hesitated, and then said: "It's the Shanghai Stock Exchange that is spreading the news."
Qin Shaoyan nodded, "It's just some crazy things said by jealous people, don't worry about it."
Dong Ruilong glanced at Qin Shaoyan and asked: "Will there be any problems with the Golden Keyboard Award?"
He doesn't care at all whether the Golden Keyboard Award is real or fake. What he cares about is whether this matter will affect NetEase.
After all, he had teased people a lot before, and privately revealed to many people that "Fantasy Westward Journey" was going to win the award.
If any scandal breaks out at the Golden Keyboard Awards, it will be a big loss for him. Qin Shaoyan suddenly stopped smiling and said in a decisive tone: "There is nothing wrong with the Golden Keyboard Award! It is real."
"Ah, yes, yes, it is real, it is real. ." Dong Ruilong nodded, "That's what you will say next time you see our boss Ding."
"Hurry up and think of something, deal with this gust of wind, and let everyone forget about this matter."
Qin Shaoyan sneered, turned around and took out a group photo from the cabinet behind him, and threw it directly in front of Dong Ruilong, "Myself Let's take a look."
"What is this?" Dong Ruilong was a little confused, looking at the densely packed group of people taking photos.
And Qin Shaoyan stood in the front row of the crowd, holding up a gold-plated keyboard with a smile.
"This is the representative of Microsoft, this is the representative of Sony Online, this is the representative of EA, this is the representative of Ubisoft, this is the boss of V agency..." Qin Shaoyan pointed out the people in the photo one by one came out, "This is the Golden Keyboard Award Ceremony."
Dong Ruilong looked at Qin Shaoyan with shock on his face, "Is there really a Golden Keyboard Award?!"
Qin Shaoyan's face darkened and he reprimanded: "What are you saying? Are they true?"
Dong Ruilong breathed a sigh of relief and said extremely happily: "It's good if it's true, it's really good!"
After a few seconds, Dong Ruilong's expression suddenly changed, "No, why didn't there be an award ceremony? Notify me?”
“Huh?” Qin Shaoyan was also startled.
"Where is the Best Online Game Award?" Dong Ruilong asked anxiously.
“Well, this year’s Best Online Game Award goes to Blizzard’s World of Warcraft.” Qin Shaoyan finally remembered what was wrong.
Before, he smoothly agreed to Dong Ruilong to give NetEase the Golden Keyboard Best Online Game Award.
Anyway, it’s a pheasant award. Whoever it is given to is a matter of Qin Shaoyan’s words, and it can also be done as a favor.
But I didn’t expect that the Golden Keyboard Award would become a regular one, and it would be troublesome to compare who should be awarded the award.
"Didn't you agree to give it to us?" Dong Ruilong was anxious, "Mr. Qin, you can't keep your word."
"You don't have to do this. In the past few months, you have been promoting us. Ah, what should I tell other colleagues? We have customized the cupboards for the trophies!"
"Why give it to Blizzard?"
Qin Shaoyan subconsciously covered it. With the watch in his hand, he pondered for two seconds and said, "Well, Mr. Dong, please calm down first. This is a misunderstanding."
"The competition this year is relatively fierce. The other nominated online games are all very strong. In the end Blizzard was able to win this award mostly due to luck.”
Dong Ruilong was not willing to listen, he jumped anxiously, "What about us? What should we do in our Fantasy Westward Journey?"
"Next time!" Qin Shaoyan said quickly, "Next time for sure."
"I When the time comes, I will help you get more votes. In addition, NetEase will do more public relations and build a good relationship with other judges."
Dong Ruilong was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "Is this what Blizzard does? ”
He suddenly understood why NetEase’s awards were gone.
It turns out that Blizzard did emergency public relations. How could they do this?
You clearly promised to give it to us!
"Fuck!" Dong Ruilong yelled, "How could Blizzard do this, not following the rules!"
Qin Shaoyan smiled awkwardly.
"Hey Blizzard, let's wait and see!" Dong Ruilong gritted his teeth, put down his harsh words, and stormed away.
Qin Shaoyan looked at Dong Ruilong's retreating back and let out a sigh of relief.
Oh, it seems that the feud between NetEase and Blizzard is beginning to end from now on.
What a sin.
Next time you try to trick NetEase, just be your own person and consider it as compensation.
Qin Shaoyan reflected for a second, and then actively devoted himself to work.
The new secretary knocked on the door and stuck his head in from the outside, "Boss, there is a reporter from Volkswagen Software outside. He said he wanted to interview, but he didn't make an appointment."
"Volkswagen Software?" Qin Shaoyan was pleasantly surprised. He stood up and said, "Hurry and put it in."
"Uh, Mr. He from Sohu is still waiting in the reception room?" The secretary hesitated, "It's time to see Mr. He next."
"It's okay, Sohu is not important." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand and said casually, "Call the reporter from Volkswagen Software in first."
The secretary withdrew and quickly led Ding Yang in.
Qin Shaoyan stood up with a smile and shook hands with Ding Yang, "Reporter Ding, you came just in time. I recently won another Golden Keyboard Award."
"The Most Anticipated Game Award, you see this is Photos of the award ceremony. "
"This is a representative of Microsoft, this is a representative of Sony Online, this is a representative of EA..."
Ding Yang was dizzy and dead. Looking at the group photos one by one.
That is not a group photo, that is irrefutable evidence!
I wonder who dares to say that the Golden Keyboard Award is fake!
