April 27th.

After filming a scene of "The Last Days of the Earth", Lu Yuan returned to Ningcheng's lounge.

Liu is here.

Brought the beta version of the "League of Legends" game.

Lu Yuan logged into the game and played a few rounds against the computer. The game was very smooth, the skill releases and character models were perfect, and there were no obvious bugs. Lu Yuan felt like he was back to the early days of playing "League of Legends". The only thing that made Lu Yuan feel regretful was that there were not many heroes in "League of Legends", only twenty. After being used to playing "League of Legends" with so many heroes, he always felt that the game was monotonous when playing with these twenty heroes.

However, it is not something that can be achieved overnight for a game to mature from the early stages of development. It requires a lot of attempts and improvements, as well as various market feedback and bug fixes. Even if Lu Yuan knows what the perfect version of "League of Legends" looks like, it is still the same. So the internal testing phase is indispensable anyway.

"Mr. Lu..."

"What's wrong, Brother Liu?"

"At present, our 'remote' game development department has about 500 people, the marketing department has 300 people, and the technical field has 400 people... The two buildings you gave us in Hangzhou are not enough. If there are more games to be developed in the future, it may be very tight. So I plan to buy the buildings next to it and set up a small 'remote' game park. This is my plan. What do you think?"

"Well... let me take a look first."

After Lu Yuan signed the application for the internal beta test of "League of Legends", Liu hesitated for a moment and then handed over a plan.

After getting the plan, Lu Yuan flipped through it carefully.

Then he fell into deep thought.

Liu's plan was written in great detail. In fact, the scale of the entire "remote" game is really terrifying if you really calculate it.

Arcade games, stand-alone games, online games, web games...

Basically, the "Remote" game company is just like Lu Yuan, developing all kinds of games in the gaming field.

All right……

Don’t blame Liu, blame Lu Yuan.

In the previous year, Liu would always receive a call from Lu Yuan late at night, and then listen to Lu Yuan talking about some games that were promising.

Then……

That’s what Liu did.

Moreover, they are all hot-selling items!

In short, all kinds of games have to be developed, which means that all planners and programmers of "remote" game companies are like special forces, waiting for missions to be issued at any time and anywhere, and then making the framework of the game in the shortest possible time. Basically, one programmer is used as one and a half...

But despite this, there are still not enough people.

After all, for stand-alone games, there needs to be a department specifically in charge, right?

World of Warcraft needs people, right?

The “remote” platform needs people, right?

Developers in various fields need people...

Only when we have enough manpower and the scale is expanded, everything will be fine.

Then, naturally, the scale of "remote" games will need to be increased.

"Brother Liu... let's put it this way. I'll sign this plan. Well, I think we may need to set up another department for our 'remote' game..."

"Department? What department?" When Liu saw Lu Yuan's eyes, he was suddenly confused.

"Mobile Games Department."

"ah?"

"Have you heard the news that the fourth generation of IP mobile phones is coming out soon?"

"I heard it was in June?"

"Well, our Huayao mobile phone will also be released in June..."

"Mr. Lu, our Huayao mobile phones and IP mobile phones in China..." When Liu heard this, his pupils shrank subconsciously.

IP phones, since the Novia mobile phone system started to fail, it has now become the leader in the entire 4G era...

All the young people are crazy about IP series mobile phones, and some are even willing to exchange a part of their body for this phone...

It can be seen how well it does marketing in China!

As for Huayao mobile phones...

Apart from knowing that this was a brand of mobile phones that Mr. Lu and his father-in-law had jointly created, all the others were unknown.

The small shrimp is competing with the new leader, and it’s a domestically produced mobile phone!

This is...

There is a feeling of overestimating one's own capabilities.

"Yes, no matter which brand of mobile phone wins in the end, mobile games will eventually flourish in the future. Brother Liu, you should pay attention to any mobile game studios recently. If they are good, we can buy them... There is also an entrepreneurial R&D team established by college students. You can also pay attention to this..."

"Okay, I understand!" After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Da Liu nodded.

He understood what Lu Yuan meant.

Well, whether you win or lose.

They all make money in "remote" games.

"Oh, I thought of something..."

"What's up?"

"Brother Liu, have you ever thought about playing a battle game like League of Legends on your mobile phone?"

"ah?"

"There is a game in my mind called 'King of Glory'."

“…”

After watching Lu Yuan very seriously telling him some details about a mobile fighting game "Honor of Kings", Liu was stunned.

He felt that his boss's thinking was really too advanced...

The fighting game "League of Legends" has not yet been internally tested, and I don't know what the market response is. Has the boss thought of moving a similar game to mobile phones?

However, when he thought about the fact that the games planned by his boss were always hits, Liu swallowed his saliva.

Then...

His heart was filled with shock again.

If what the boss said is true, then wouldn’t the future of “remote” games be invincible in all areas?

Liu originally thought that the "Remote" Group was an entertainment empire, but now he realizes that the "Remote" Group is actually an empire composed of empires.

Remote gaming empire, video empire, catering empire...

What else?

…

It was around five in the evening when I finished chatting with Liu.

Lu Yuan wanted to invite Da Liu to have dinner with him, but was rejected by Da Liu on the grounds that he was busy.

When Liu Da left, he was so frightened and absent-minded.

He was really shocked when he thought about the vast territory of the future "remote" empire.

It's a crazy world!

After Da Liu left, Lu Yuan stretched, then drank a sip of water and closed his eyes.

He plans to take a good rest.

"Beep, beep, beep"

Before he had a good rest, his cell phone rang again.

He looked at the number.

It was the rich second generation Chen Cong who called.

"Ayuan, where are you? I came to visit the set, but I didn't see you..."

"Ah, I'm in the lounge."

"Okay, I'll come over right away. Let's have dinner together?"

"Okay! Where to?"

"Ningcheng Royal Villa, shall we have a barbecue on the rooftop?"

"good."

…

At the end of 2005, China had a new richest man.

Mr. Chen’s father, Chen Jianming, ranked first.

Mr. Chen is awesome, adding another title to his reputation as the most successful investor of the younger generation.

The son of the richest man.

Lu Yuan met this Young Master Chen again.

Maybe it’s because he’s been having too much fun hanging out with some pretty internet celebrities lately, but Lu Yuan discovered that Mr. Chen’s hairline was a little high, and he also had dark circles under his eyes.

"Ayuan, what's wrong?"

"Take care of your health recently, Brother Chen. Youth is an asset, but you can't squander it..."

"Squandering capital? No, the food and things I use every day are actually...wait, I didn't overindulge! Recently, there are too many 'remote' live broadcasts. I have to sign various anchors and read their materials, so I have to stay up late more or less..."

"oh……"

When Young Master Chen saw Lu Yuan's perfunctory expression, he didn't explain anything.

He asked a few servants to prepare the barbecue grill and ingredients, and began to make preparations standing on the balcony.

It is rumored that he has two major hobbies.

BBQ and Internet celebrities...

Lu Yuan felt that the reputation was well-deserved.

Two hours later, Young Master Chen personally opened the beer for Lu Yuan and poured it himself...

Some of them are like apprentices helping their master pour wine.

This feeling is strange.

"Ayuan, this beer is for you... Thank you!"

"Forehead……"

"Without you, 'remote' live broadcasting wouldn't be as popular as it is now, and I wouldn't be as successful as I am now. I guess I've lost all the startup capital my dad gave me..."

Chen Cong looked at Lu Yuan, his eyes full of gratitude and complexity.

After the "remote" live broadcast became a hit, he became a little inflated and thought he was an investment genius.

Seeing Lu Yuan becoming more and more awesome, he felt more or less envious.

He thinks he can do it too!

After all, whenever the media talks about the awesomeness of the live streaming industry, everyone thinks that it’s all Lu Yuan’s fault.

When talking about Chen Cong, many people describe him as a rich second-generation who became famous thanks to the "remote development" boom.

The son of the richest man in China, a man who is so arrogant, was actually described as a lackey.

How could he be like this?

He felt that he could not be Lu Yuan's "lackey".

So, he took his share of the "remote" live broadcast, plus the 500 million start-up capital given to him by his father, and began to get involved in various fields, intending to build his own empire like Lu Yuan.

Then, reality began to teach him a lesson.

Apart from the huge profit from the "remote" live broadcast, other fields such as real estate, foreign trade, and electronics all suffered huge losses. Lu Yuan made a lot of money while he lost it all. In fact, he lost all the money he made from the "remote" live broadcast, and the hole kept getting bigger and bigger...

Finally, after learning from his mistakes, he began to accept reality.

and……

I don’t know if it was due to hypnosis or something else, but he suddenly realized that Lu Yuan is so awesome now, so what’s wrong with me being his “lackey”?

"Ayuan..."

"exist."

"What should I do next? What else can I do besides 'remote' live broadcast?"

"Ah? Brother Chen..."

"Ayuan, what industries do you think will be popular in the future? Can you tell me what else will be popular in the 4G era?"

“…”

Lu Yuan could never have dreamed that Chen Cong, who had always been so arrogant, would one day look at him with drunken eyes and a hint of pleading.

Lu Yuan looked at Chen Cong and he fell silent.

Then he thought for a while and finally nodded seriously.

"Brother Chen..."

"exist."

“Have you heard of the short video?”

"Ah? A short video?"

"Um……"
