Chapter 285 Big Day!
Xia Xi's female assistant is probably the most loyal person to her in the world, no doubt about it.
Because many old social customs are still preserved in the port city.
So, rather than being an assistant, it’s more like a master and servant.
This female assistant grew up with Wu Lingxi, went abroad together, and studied together.
To be more precise, it's like watching Wu Lingxi grow up, because she is six years older than me.
She is also highly educated, with a Ph.D. from Pomona University.
When he was at Renren, he was the assistant to the president, and now he is still the assistant to the chairman of Facebook.
Not only does she assist Wu Lingxi in her work, but she also takes care of her private life.
This time, Wu Lingxi was injured and suddenly wanted to eat soup dumplings, so she drove a long way to buy some.
Because the two of them were so close, she basically didn't even need to knock on the door.
"Xixi, this crab roe soup dumpling is the most authentic. It's still hot now. I tried one on the way. It's so delicious..."
The female assistant pushed the door open and was completely stunned by the scene before her.
MY god?
Xixi, what are you doing?
This is on the hospital bed! You have a broken bone and one of your legs is hanging in the air.
You two big bosses with such high status are actually playing this kind of game in the ward? Isn't it a bit perverted? However, Mr. Lin has a really good figure!
Dancing skills? Just so-so, but she's pretty, has a good figure, and is super rich.
Moreover, Wu Lingxi also took the prototype of quantum mobile phone No. 002 and filmed the whole process.
After watching for half a minute, the female assistant retreated silently and stood guard outside the door to prevent this scene from being seen or secretly photographed by others.
After the dance, Lin Xiao said to Wu Lingxi: "Are we done?"
Damn, why does this scene seem familiar?
Oh, I remember.
At that time, Li Shuang danced for Lin Xiao all day long, and basically it was in front of the computer camera.
Wu Lingxi sniffed and said, "It's such an ugly dance. It completely disenchanted me."
Then, she continued to work in front of the computer and ignored Lin Xiao.
This world is always biased. Liao Feng offended Wu Lingxi, and she tortured him to death. Not only did the huge Renren Group go bankrupt, but Liao Feng himself was also sent to prison. And Lin Xiao offended so much, and this little revenge was enough?
Being favored makes one feel fearless!
………………………………
Lin Xiao sat in front of the representatives of the three banks with a serious face, completely different from the one he was in the hospital not long ago.
Officially repay the huge debt of more than 900 million US dollars.
"Mr. Lin Xiao, our cooperation is very pleasant. You are simply the best customer we have ever met."
"Mr. Lin, if you still need money, we can sign a new loan contract now."
"Mr. Lin, there is no need to look for Mr. Sun this time. Whether it is Dream Vision, Facebook, or YouTube shares, they can all be used as collateral. These are absolutely the best assets."
The representatives of the three banks were all in high spirits, as if nothing that happened last year had happened.
At that time, these three banks, together with Google and Microsoft, tried to force Lin Xiao to default on the contract and fail to repay the money, and then forcibly seize the shares of the three companies.
Of course, Lin Xiao would not question it, let alone be hostile, because capitalism is all about reality.
Lin Xiao: "If there is a need again, we will directly issue corporate bonds in the name of Quantum Technology."
The three banks smiled politely and did not respond.
After paying off this huge debt, Lin Xiao and Masayoshi Son officially terminated the previous pledge contract.
At this point, the shares of Huanmeng Vision, Facebook USA, and YouTube USA once again belonged completely to Lin Xiao.
Son turned on his computer, turned to Lin Xiao and said, "Lin, you have once again set off the Chinese Internet."
Of course Lin Xiao knew.
Wu Lingxi posted this silly status using his cell phone.
On May 31st, the king returns.
Childish, middle school! Originally, with the withdrawal of "Kung Fu Panda", the debate about Lin Xiao has died down somewhat, after all, we have experienced the Chinese New Year.
As a result, this news came out.
Once again, it completely exploded! It sparked a heated discussion.
Of course, a war of words broke out again, triggering a massive attack on him.
But... unexpectedly, this post attracted a lot of old fans.
When Fallout 3 swept the world, they kept silent.
"Kung Fu Panda" set a new box office record in the country, directly doubling the market ceiling, but they still didn't say a word.
But...it's just this one update.
They actually began to speak gradually.
This feels so weird.
It's just like a man and a woman are in love, they are obviously almost ready, but neither of them wants to say anything.
As soon as one party opened his mouth, the other party quickly responded enthusiastically: Me too! And facing another massive attack from public opinion, Lin Xiao was not completely passive this time.
A small group of people had appeared and began to charge for him.
Although, although not as much as before.
But, the momentum has gradually built up.
Speaking of which, Wu Lingxi really taught Lin Xiao a lesson.
Arrogance and reserve are sometimes useless.
Being brave and direct is effective.
…………………………
However, the Internet in Europe and the United States will not pay too much attention to China’s public opinion war.
On the contrary, the most popular movie on the European and American Internet is… The Witcher! As expected, no one can resist… the colors.
Clips of the game "The Witcher" have been constantly flooding various media and video websites.
and……
The videos about Sese are also repeated over and over again.
This... is this the first 3A game masterpiece that is seriously pornographic?
How could the response not be enthusiastic? The total number of views of the clips of The Witcher on the entire Internet has reached an astronomical number.
This time, several major authoritative gaming media outlets stopped making trouble and gave their own reviews.
“A completely different game, full of different flavor.”
"This should be regarded as another critical blow to the gaming industry from Master Ergou and CDPR."
"The graphics of Fallout 3 are already amazing. I didn't expect that The Witcher, with the same game engine, could have even better graphics. Is it true that the only one who can defeat Er Gou is Er Gou?"
“Yes, there are indeed some emotional plots in The Witcher, and there are a lot of them. But I advise all players not to buy the game for this purpose, because compared to the quality of the game, the emotional plot is the most insignificant part of this game.”
Damn! This review editor is so awesome, he really does what he is paid to do.
What could be more attractive than this sentence? There is a lot of emotion in it, but I advise you not to go for it.
What is this like? The producer of Final Fantasy 7 Remake said: "I advise you not to use MOD to take off Tifa's clothes, let alone do any enlargement, hair removal, etc."
The most authoritative IGN also gave its own evaluation, and the last paragraph reads as follows.
“This game has a slower pace, and it’s not even too intense, which is different from the current mainstream blockbusters.”
“However, this slowness is full of power and depth, making it full of incomparable explosive power at the end.”
"Fallout 3 has been a huge success in the market, but if I had to choose, I would prefer The Witcher."
"And compared to Fallout 3, The Witcher has a better and more complete story."
"It's really a very, very different game. I didn't expect that there would be such a strong chemical reaction between Ergou Jiaozhu and Poland."
In the end, IGN gave "The Witcher" a score of 9.5.
Almost all mainstream media around the world gave it high scores.
After several months of promotion, the expectations of countless players have been raised to the highest level.
But the strange thing is that this game obviously does not belong to Ergou Studio, he is just the largest shareholder.
However, in many media, this game is still given the title of Ergou Jiaozhu.
Since last year, Facebook and YouTube have been creating a storm.
Who is Ergou Jiaozhu? ! So far, all works associated with Ergou Jiaozhu have been very popular in Europe and America.
Moreover, most of his works are both successful in terms of performance and reputation.
………………
April 3rd! The Witcher is officially released worldwide, first on PC, Sony PlayStation, and of course, a large number of physical distributors.
Microsoft's XBOX platform is still excluded.
When Fallout 3 was released last year, it faced competition from the blockbuster Halo 3.
This schedule is almost dominated by "The Witcher".
After purchasing the game, countless players rush into the game world as soon as possible.
Indeed... the pace is a little slow.
Or slightly slower than Fallout 3.
However, it is faster than The Witcher 3 in history.
Because the plot will soon enter its first climax.
But after a few hours, I became addicted to it.
Fallout 3 is a strong open world with a lot of charm, but it's a little weak in story.
The Witcher is also an open world, but it still has a strong main storyline.
Of course, the most important thing is that players were extremely surprised to find that it was really possible to make it yellow.
And there are several targets! And he can really capture the heroine.
On April 10, the game publisher announced that the first-week shipments of The Witcher exceeded 4.7 million copies!
When Lin Xiao saw this data, he was completely numb.
Although The Witcher 2 sold a total of 8 million copies in history, it took a long time for word of mouth to ferment because it was a small manufacturer and had no money for publicity.
Even The Witcher 3 only sold over 2 million copies in its first week.
With overwhelming publicity and strong word-of-mouth, Cyberpunk 2077 sold over 13 million copies in its first week.
After adopting his system, sales started off very quickly.
Because in the minds of global players, it and "Fallout 3" are considered to be products produced by the same company.
Now, "Fallout 3" has accumulated amazing reputation and sales, which have directly converted into sales of "The Witcher".
And because of the great quality and graphics of "The Witcher", this word-of-mouth effect has been superimposed.
Anything produced by Ergou is bound to be inferior.
This concept has begun to be instilled in many players around the world.
Is a new gaming god about to be born? In less than a year, two gaming masterpieces were released, both of which were masterpieces.
And Sony's PS platform wins again.
Because it is exclusive to the game console platform.
Many players are used to playing games on consoles and are not used to playing games on computers. If they can't play on the XBOX360 platform, they can only play on the PS3 platform.
Sony once again gave "The Witcher" exclusive game treatment.
Kazuo Hirai once again saw a sharp rise in PS3 sales.
He couldn't contain his joy and called Amy Pascal again.
"Amy, the best decision you made in the past few years was to form an alliance with Lin Xiao."
"Originally, the PS3 and XBOX360 were neck and neck. This was the biggest challenge we encountered in the console market. Unexpectedly, thanks to Lin's two games, the situation was reversed and we now have a clear advantage."
"The most important thing is the weight in the minds of global players, which will make everyone feel that the PS platform is more advanced than the XBOX platform and we have the best games."
……………………
in the country, "The Witcher" is not available.
Previously, "Fallout 3" could be purchased and downloaded on Facebook Games, but "The Witcher" contains adult content after all, and there is no game rating system in China.
But every time there is a policy, there is a countermeasure.
It is not available in the domestic Facebook game channel, but it is available in the overseas Facebook game platform.
It's also available on Steam.
The most important thing is that there is also authentic Chinese dubbing.
Moreover, Alipay payment is also supported.
Of course, this game is actually a big challenge for many domestic players.
While it's a bit faster than The Witcher 3 and even faster than Red Dead Redemption 2, it's still a bit slow.
But... there is yellow in it!
This... is too destructive.
Many people who have been playing stand-alone blockbusters are certainly happy, but the key is that many people who don’t play stand-alone games, after hearing that there is pornography in it, also rush in to play it excitedly.
Then...it was as if the door to a new world had opened.
Damn, single-player games are so cool? So fun?
Then... Lin Xiao and CDPR watched sales in China continue to rise.
This…this…
Previously, Fallout 3 could be purchased directly, but its sales were not very strong.
Because The Witcher contains adult content, people have to go through a lot of trouble to purchase and download it, but as a result, sales have increased significantly.
Are you kidding me?
Then, a well-known public intellectual wrote an article out of indignation.
"Ergou's yellow game is poisoning us. Danger, danger, danger!"
In the article, he passionately criticized the adult content in the game "The Witcher" and highlighted the harm it caused.
"The former Itchy Network, Itchy Live Studio, and now The Witcher, are all on the edge!"
"Ergou, is your return as a king meant to make you look pornographic?"
"Er Gou, you've run out of tricks."
"I report it with my real name and suggest that it be completely banned!"
In his previous articles, he mostly pleaded for the people, and each time he received a huge response and support. But this time the emotions were even more passionate.
result……
His blog was attacked! Damn! You are so nosy!
If you are really blocked, I will chop you down along the Internet cable.
Suddenly, it looked like the incident in which wallpaper enginde, the top gaming UP host on Bilibili, failed.
And this well-known public intellectual was so upset by the scolding from netizens!
Before, when I spoke on behalf of the people, I often used lame language, even fabricated rumors, but you all overwhelmingly supported and stood by me.
This time, I am speaking on behalf of the people and suggesting that Leader Ergou be banned, and I have solid evidence to support my claim.
As a result, you all scolded me and stepped on me? In anger, he rushed directly to the relevant departments to report it, and even held up a banner.
I just don’t believe that there is no justice in this world.
After receiving the report, the relevant departments had to send relevant personnel to the Lightning Group for admonition.
However, Lightning Group expressed helplessness because we are not in charge of Facebook overseas, and even less so of Steam.
Then, the relevant departments went to Facebook’s overseas offices in China to give admonitions and impose fines.
But... a few days later! That gentleman was arrested and charged with PC!
He was caught on the spot, and his photos went straight across the Internet, completely ruining his reputation.
……………………
Lin Xiao clearly felt that the momentum was really starting to rise.
The power behind him is increasing little by little.
And it's not just Facebook's gaming community, even in Renren's gaming community, there are gradually more and more posts.
"The wizard is awesome, and the leader of Ergou is awesome!"
"Wizards are awesome!"
There are more and more posts like this.
Finally someone spoke out publicly to praise Ergou again.
Lin Xiao never expected this.
My "Fallout 3" is so awesome, it contains so many Chinese plots, and it was made by my own company, but the sales are mediocre. How can you not say it's awesome?
"Kung Fu Panda" is so awesome. I have spent so many years and so much money just for the major upgrade of the film industry and for the export of culture.
In the end, you didn't say "awesome"! Now a yellow one comes out! You start to say I'm awesome, but the key is that I didn't make this game, and there are no Chinese elements in it except for the Chinese dubbing.
It is true that when you plant flowers with care they don't bloom, but when you plant willows by accident they grow into a shade.
But in fact, this is just a flashpoint.
It just so happened that I encountered this node at the right time.
Moreover, butter can be humorous and not so serious, which can reduce the embarrassment for both parties.
And it comes down to the core.
It was Leader Ergou who took the initiative to step forward and break the ice.
Therefore, all the planning and preparations on Lin Xiao's side were not as good as Wu Lingxi's sudden move.
Lin Xiao also knew that now it was just a slight rise, just a small fight.
He is still a long way from regaining his previous glory and reputation! The key still lies on May 31st! That is the crucial decisive battle.
If what he brings out that day is not shocking enough, then everything will come to an end.
The momentum that had been accumulated with great difficulty was completely extinguished.
And it will be difficult to rekindle it for a very long time.
April 20! Lin Xiao received good news again!
The first batch of chips manufactured by TSMC has finally been shipped! This means that quantum phones can finally start mass production.
A full three years!
After investing nearly one billion US dollars and several billion RMB in his third venture, he is finally seeing results.
The X Institute, with thousands of people in quantum technology and Lian Zheng's team working hard for thousands of days and nights, are finally seeing the light of day.
At this moment, Lin Xiao deeply felt that people really have their luck nodes.
His luck point overseas was around last summer.
The lucky day in China is February 14th, which happens to be Valentine's Day.
……………………………………
At this time, Microsoft in the United States was holding a meeting, and it was completely targeted at Lin Xiao.
They didn't care too much about the success of Fallout 3 because Halo 3 was also very successful.
but……
The latest data is out, and Fallout 3 will eventually outsell Halo 3.
The most important thing is that half a year later, "The Witcher" has once again achieved huge success, and its final sales will still exceed 10 million.
Moreover, Ergou Studio released development plans for two works in succession.
The Last of Us, Fallout: New Vegas.
CDPR also announced that they will immediately start the development of "The Witcher 2".
In addition, EPIC also announced that it will develop a newly upgraded Unreal Engine for these three games.
Moreover, EPIC's acceptance of X Fund's investment means that Lin Xiao will become one of the major individual shareholders of Unreal Engine, which means a further alliance between the two parties.
Although XBOX's revenue share is not high, it is an extremely important strategy for Microsoft.
What will happen if this trend continues? Several large-scale game IPs led by Ergou will be banned from the XBOX platform and fully invested in the PS platform.
The balance of the platform competition, which was originally evenly matched, will slide towards the PS platform.
And all this was caused by themselves.
Two and a half years ago, Lin Xiao and Wu Lingxi humbly came to Microsoft to pay a visit and made an appointment a week in advance.
As a result, Microsoft CEO Steve gave Lin Xiao a humiliating response.
Then, in the Chinese market, he led a massive amount of public opinion to suppress and attack him crazily.
And now they felt the pain of being beaten for the first time!
Of course, they only care about the gaming department of Ergou Industry.
As for his so-called comeback on May 31 and the so-called mobile phone operating system, he still doesn't care at all.
Because it is now the absolute leader in mobile phone operating systems, it doesn't even take Apple seriously, let alone little Karami, a quantum technology company far away in China.
Facing Lin Xiao’s dominance in the gaming industry, Microsoft held a meeting to decide whether to put pressure on him or seek peace? ………………………………
Google also faces a critical moment.
At Google's high-level meeting, everyone held an HTC G1.
Of course, this is just the code name given to it by Chinese people. Its real name is dream.
And HTC is just a OEM, this phone actually belongs to Google.
This is the originator of Android phones.
This is also the beginning of Google's dominance in mobile operating systems! "On May 15, a global launch conference will be held!"
At this time, Google is still arrogant and even unwilling to say the words of blocking quantum technology in advance.
Even if that is the case.
Lin Xiao announced that he will officially return on May 31 and release his quantum phone.
Google released it half a month in advance, of course, to tell the world that their mobile phone system is the authentic one.
Lin Xiao’s so-called quantum technology and the so-called X operating system are just poor imitators.
………………
Note: I still went out early in the morning and returned to the hotel to write at night. Finally I finished it!
Thank you for the monthly ticket. I will go to take a shower and go to bed right away. Wish me a good sleep!
