After arriving at Haocheng Building, I took the elevator directly to Mingzhao Company.
I pushed the door open with ease, and what came into view was the president's office, which was no different from the previous one.
At this time, Huo Cailiang was the only one in the office. He was sitting in the boss chair in the middle, working diligently. He looked up at Zhao Mei when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
As soon as Zhao Mei entered the room, she put her bag on the table and sat down on the sofa.
Huo Cailiang then stood up and brought over two cups.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for coming all the way here, but I don't have any tea or coffee here. You'll have to make do with plain water."
Zhao Mei listened to his sarcastic tone, rolled her eyes and took the cup. This man has become even more arrogant since he succeeded in his revenge.
"Come on, it's not the first day I've been a hands-off boss, so where are your friends? It's impossible for the person who takes the money to show up and the person who spends the money to run away, right?"
Huo Cailiang sat across from Zhao Mei, holding a cup. "We'll be there soon. We only have half an hour left until the time we agreed on."
Zhao Mei looked at her cell phone and found that it was indeed still some distance away. However, she was indeed anxious to complete the task, so she hurried over after dinner without checking the time.
"Well, isn't this the kind of great project you've been talking about that only comes once in a lifetime? And since you're a good friend with a brilliant track record and is reliable, I'm definitely looking forward to it."
As soon as Zhao Mei finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door, and Huo Cailiang got up to open it.
A smiling man with short brown hair came in. He was wearing a leather jacket and dark jeans, a gray computer bag, and black Martin boots. He looked very youthful overall.
But Zhao Mei's first reaction was that it looked extremely familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.
After letting the person in, Huo Cailiang closed the door and introduced her, "This is my friend, Du Hongzhe, who used to study computer science at Haicheng University."
When Zhao Mei heard the man's name, she suddenly realized that this was the owner of the shop where she had bought a computer before.
It’s just that there was no problem with my computer afterwards, so we didn’t have the chance to contact each other again. I didn’t expect to meet again under such circumstances today.
Obviously, Du Hongzhe also looked familiar but couldn't recognize her, so he took a step forward and shyly shook hands with Zhao Mei.
"Hello, I'm Du Hongzhe, a friend of Huo Cailiang. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my project."
Zhao Mei came back to her senses, smiled and shook hands with Du Hongzhe, saying, "Not really, not really. You're also very capable. You were a great contributor to the downfall of the Yebai Group. It's only right and proper that I help you."
Du Hongzhe looked at her face, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the question: "Although it may be a bit presumptuous, but I think I have seen you somewhere?"
Zhao Mei raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that he could recognize her even though she looked so different from then. However, a long time had passed and they had only met once, so he probably didn't have a deep impression of her. She was too lazy to lie.
"I guess you wouldn't remember even if I told you, but I ordered a computer from you during the summer vacation. It cost over 100,000 yuan."
After hearing what Zhao Mei said, Du Hongzhe immediately reacted. After all, throughout the entire summer vacation, and even until now, there was only one person who ordered a computer worth more than 100,000 yuan.
"Oh, it's you. I was wondering why you ordered such an expensive computer. You've really changed a lot now."
Zhao Mei nodded and casually explained, "I just lost some weight and had a beauty treatment."
After saying that, he extended his hand to invite Du Hongzhe to sit down. After the three of them were seated, it was time to start discussing business.
Zhao Mei asked impatiently, "So from what I heard from Mr. Huo, you're planning to start a tech internet company?"
Du Hongzhe was about to turn around to get his bag when he was stunned by this question: "Huh?"
Huo Cailiang also turned his gaze to Zhao Mei with a puzzled look.
Being stared at by two people at the same time, Zhao Mei's original strong momentum weakened a bit: "...Isn't it?"
Du Hongzhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How did you guess that I wanted to start a technology and internet company? I guess I don't have that ability yet."
Without expecting Zhao Mei to answer, Du Hongzhe took out a stack of folders from his bag and gave them to Huo Cailiang and Zhao Mei. He then took out a computer and opened the project PPT.
Zhao Mei flipped through the folder in her hand and saw the words "game project" on it. Only then did she realize that the project involving a large amount of money that Huo Cailiang mentioned was actually a game project?!
What kind of game project needs so much money that you have to come to yourself? Can it be more than a normal physical company?
Zhao Mei stared at Huo Cailiang with a look of condemnation in her heart, but Huo Cailiang on the opposite side seemed to be able to avoid such gazes and drank boiled water at ease.
At this time, Du Hongzhe had also prepared his speech, opened the PPT, and told the two of them his ideas.
"The game project I'm going to show you now is called 'Xian Xian'. It's an MMORPG, aiming to create a fantastical and realistic world of immortal heroes. To make it realistic enough, I plan to use..."
"Each NPC in the world can have independent AI calculations. The overall system has a large AI engine that performs self-calculation to generate tasks and NPCs, ensuring absolute authenticity and absolute freedom."
"Of course, because of my persistence in these aspects, the overall progress of this project is quite slow now that it is only developed by me and a few other team members. However, I can guarantee that if there is sufficient funding and manpower, the development will be completed within two years."
"The various profit points of this work are not small according to the expected calculation, and we are quite confident in the profitability..."
After the basic introduction, Du Hongzhe also showed Zhao Mei a demo video of Xunxian, in which the protagonist flew through the sky, controlled the sword, and upgraded the formation in a free and unrestrained manner, and the fighting was also particularly exquisite.
The quality presented by the overall game demo is such that even an outsider like Zhao Mei can see that it is of absolutely top-notch production standards.
Du Hongzhe spoke passionately, but Zhao Mei couldn't help but frown. Even if it wasn't out of trust in Huo Cailiang, the knowledge she had learned told her that this project would definitely be profitable.
But the biggest question was, if this game was really as good as he said, then why did he resort to asking friends for help to raise investment? Logically, Ming Zhao shouldn't have been involved.
Thinking of this, I didn't hesitate and just blurted out, "So, for such a good game, I guess there will be people rushing to invest even without you soliciting investment, right?"
Hearing Zhao Mei's question, the excited Du Hongzhe fell silent for a moment.
