Chapter 1216 The Returnee's Notes 290
The assistant was innocent. Last time, her boss ignored Ms. Ouyang and got kicked in the butt. Although no one else saw it, the boss had said that he should remind her if he saw Ms. Ouyang coming.
They're really hard to please, but the pay is high.
The assistant scurried off to fetch the fruit platter. Anyway, the boss only verbally scolded him; the bonuses were still paid in full.
Moreover, she thought that if it weren't for the boss's wealth, their company would have gone bankrupt long ago.
The game program Xie Ning made is a very simple farming game, and it's even a framework that needs to be expanded. You can grow various crops and sell or process the harvested crops.
She didn't add many NPCs, since it was created for her own relaxation. So she only made a few basic NPCs and then imported some programs into it. The NPCs in the game are more intelligent than those in a typical game.
Instead of simply triggering responses based on a few pre-set dialogues.
They are highly autonomous and, as time goes by, are free to choose to remain single or get married, have children, and age naturally.
Moreover, the life path chosen by each player's NPC may be different.
Lin Shi was a seasoned gamer. He initially thought that a game with such unattractive graphics and a pixelated art style wouldn't attract him. However, he ended up playing for an entire afternoon. If his stomach hadn't started growling, he wouldn't have been able to come back to his senses.
Seeing Ouyang Lin eating something, Lin Shi couldn't help but go over and say, "Cousin, aren't you going to play this game? It's so much fun!"
He rarely praises games.
Ouyang Lin silently ate another cherry. Did she not want to play anymore? Or was she just too tired?
Didn't you see those huge dark circles under her eyes? Those are from staying up all night playing games.
It's likely that Xie Ning himself didn't realize that a casually made game could be so addictive. After all, besides relaxing himself, he also intended to train artificial intelligence.
Lin Shi inquired about Xie Ning, not only wanting to buy the game but also wanting to poach Xie Ning.
Because when he played the game, he not only noticed its playability and future market potential, but also saw Xie Ning's capabilities, especially in the area of intelligent NPCs, which was something their other game lacked!
Ouyang Lin listened silently to the various tempting benefits Lin Shi offered and directly refused.
"She can't possibly come."
Even if she didn't know Xie Ning's current job, firstly, Xie Ning wasn't short of money, and secondly, Xie Ning was still a student, already exhausted from doing research with her supervisor, so how could she possibly work for her cousin?
Lin Shi muttered, "Cousin, you didn't even ask anyone else."
Maybe he'd be willing? He's rich!
"Alright, hurry up and name your price. Once you transfer the money, I won't have to run around anymore."
At this moment, Lin Shi instantly transformed back into a businessman, directly offering an extremely low price without any mercy, and then immediately received a glare from Ouyang Lin.
Whether out of consideration for her relationship with Xie Ning or because she herself had a partial advantage, Ouyang Lin straightened up and started tugging at Lin Shi, ultimately winning the argument slightly.
She has far more experience than Lin Shi. When they were kids, Lin Shi couldn't even keep his lucky money during the Lunar New Year, let alone now trying to haggle with her over prices.
Of course, although the two of them agreed on a rough price, it wasn't formal yet, and they still needed to sign a contract.
After agreeing to meet again in three days to discuss the contract, Ouyang Lin left with her bag.
Looking at Ouyang Lin's slender and elegant back, Lin Shi inside found it hard to reconcile with her personality. Although he didn't lack money, when doing business, he naturally wanted to make the most of his own profits. He felt really resentful for not speaking up for his cousin.
A moment later, someone knocked on the door; it was a woman's voice, full of energy.
Lin Shi sat up straight instantly, looking every bit the serious boss.
"Enter."
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman in a suit walked in. She had her hair neatly tied up and was not wearing a pencil skirt, but rather suit pants, which made her legs look exceptionally long.
Lin Shi had no interest in looking at his subordinates' clothes; he was just looking miserable. These were the subordinates he least wanted to see because they were too serious.
There are also some rigidities.
"Hello Mr. Lin, this is the data I have compiled. And regarding some of the remarks made at the meeting, I would like to say something to you... As of the end of last year, the internet penetration rate in my country was only about one-third, and among these internet users, the ratio of women to men was about 4:6."
With the decline of single-player games, domestic games in China are mainly PC games with high system requirements and demanding gameplay, and major game developers are not optimistic about the female-oriented game market.
The woman paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, many game developers claim to value female players, but that's just a ploy to attract male players. For example, some games have marriage systems..."
This is an era dominated by PC games, but current statistics show that browser games have carved out a niche for themselves...
Considering all game genres in China, I believe there is a large market for games targeted at women...
In her view, the female market is enormous, but few domestic game companies pay attention to this area.
The rise of browser games presents a great opportunity.
