Chapter 482: The Age of Fire (5K)
In fact, the production of "Hollow Knight" is almost complete. It is a low-cost game with simple art and no difficulty.
However, Zeng Wenjie required continuous testing, striving to ensure that no bugs would appear when the game was officially launched, which would affect the players' gaming experience. After all, this was a game that Game Science truly used to make a name for itself.
After the release of "Hollow Knight", Zeng Wenjie planned to let the old thief Miyazaki start the "Fire Age" in advance to torture the players.
After the meeting, Zeng Wenjie went to the art department. Zeng Mi was flipping through a thick European classic. This was a task assigned by Miyazaki to let her become more familiar with the scenes of ancient Europe, which would be useful in the next game.
"Are you here?" Zeng Mi couldn't help but smile and said after seeing Zeng Wenjie.
"Yes, I have arranged everything at the villa. Do you want to go and see it today?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
Zeng Mi nodded and said, "Of course I will go. You can't go back on your promise to me."
Zeng Wenjie reached out and stroked her cheek, saying, "Are you used to your current life? Running back and forth between places is quite hectic."
Zeng Mi said: "I spend most of my time studying, which is quite fulfilling. Besides, there are many experts in the company who I can consult at any time."
Feeling the dishonest guy teasing her lips with his fingers, she couldn't help but open her mouth and take a light bite, then glared at him provocatively.
Zeng Wenjie withdrew his fingers, then pinched her chin to make her look up, and attacked her from a condescending position.
Zeng Mi closed her eyes, raised her hands and hugged his neck, responding gently and passionately.
Recently he has not had time to go to Xiaopin Teahouse to drink and chat with Zeng Mi, which makes him seem a little cold. However, this lilac-like beauty has not been cared for for too long, so he still misses her.
"Don't go too far!" Zeng Mi suddenly opened his eyes and warned.
Zeng Wenjie agreed, but his hands were not very honest. He stopped only after satisfying his urge and was full of anticipation for tonight.
It’s been a while since I saw Zeng Mi wearing cheongsam, I missed it so much!
After Zeng Wenjie let Zeng Mi go, he asked, "Are you satisfied with the copyright share for this issue?"
Zeng Mi smiled after hearing this and said, "Although it's not much, it's still pretty good."
Zeng Wenjie was a little speechless. This woman who had seen a lot of money was not easy to fool. Wasn't a share of more than two million not enough? Moreover, this income would continue for a long time as the game continued to operate. Even if the popularity died down, her monthly share would still not be low.
Moreover, the most profitable skins are not just one or two sets, but several sets for one character. When the ranked competition is started, a set can be released every season to make money.
All in all, Zeng Mi is able to become a small wealthy woman just by earning the copyright share of "Hero Killer".
She had handled eight-digit sums before, and of course she felt that this was not a lot of money, but she also felt very proud. She was happy to earn money with her own hands!
"I'll go back to the teahouse after get off work, remember to pick me up." Zeng Mi said.
Everyone thought she was Zeng Wenjie's blood-related sister, so there was no need to avoid suspicion in this regard.
"Okay." Zeng Wenjie nodded in agreement.
I had promised Zeng Mi that after we got the villa, she would be the first to stay there for a night. Of course, I had to do such a small thing, otherwise it would be too hurtful.
Moreover, this was not an impolite request. She just wanted to use it to satisfy some small wishes or emotions in her heart.
Zeng Wenjie returned to his office and was busy dealing with the snack business. New stores were opened in the provincial capitals of various provinces, including Hangzhou, Shajun, Los Angeles, etc., and franchises were also accepted.
The franchise fee is not high, only 60,000.
After the financial reports of various Snacks Panic stores were released and they collaborated with various celebrities, the onlookers could no longer sit still. They felt that running this business was too profitable, so they applied to join.
Recently, Zeng Wenjie has made a lot of money from franchise fees alone. If this trend continues, the supply chain will have to be restructured, otherwise the supply will definitely not be able to keep up.
"Also, 'Masked Singer' should be online soon. Fortunately, I only need to come up with plans for future programs and don't need to participate in the recording. Otherwise, I would really be exhausted in the office." Zeng Wenjie looked at the sorted data for a while and couldn't help feeling dizzy.
He also took a look at the data of the Fengzhou Hospital Road store. While Fu Qianzhu entered the management team, he still served as the store manager.
Zeng Wenjie didn't want to keep her so busy, but she said she had feelings for the snack shop and wanted to look after it every day.
Come to think of it, it's been a while since I last saw Fu Qianzhu. When I have time, I'll find a chance to have a meal at the apartment she shares with Liu Qi, Liu Xu and others.
After finishing the work, Miyazaki Hidetaka, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stopped Zeng Wenjie and wanted to have a good chat with him about the "fire transmission" matter.
Miyazaki himself was very interested in ancient European culture, and Zeng Wenjie's discussion with him several times about creating a difficult game with a Western background really appealed to him. He always felt that it coincided with some of his immature ideas deep in his heart.
Hidetaka Miyazaki felt that his boss Zeng Wenjie could inspire his inspiration, a lot of inspiration, even childhood fantasies.
Dark dungeons, vast poisonous swamps, narrow plank roads, and roads filled with traps...
He was almost impatient for the new project. Not only did he write many drafts himself, he also frequently communicated with Feng Ji. The two were the same type of people, and after getting together, they came up with many ideas to torture the players.
So Zeng Wenjie had a serious negotiation with Miyazaki Hidetaka for more than two hours.
Most of the time he just throws out an introduction to inspire inspiration, and then Miyazaki Hidetaka expands on it. If it doesn't feel right, he will correct it immediately.
Miyazaki Hidetaka already has a vast worldview in his mind. In the ancient times shrouded in darkness, humans were the lowest creatures and powerful ancient dragons ruled everything until humans discovered the existence of "fire".
Then, a human leader stood up, the fire illuminated the darkness, giving humans courage and strength, and declared war on the ancient dragon clan.
Decades later, the power of the fire weakened, so the leader threw his soul into the fire as firewood and became the first generation of Fire King.
From then on, mankind began to have the mission of "passing on the fire".
The general outline gradually became clear, and Miyazaki Hidetaka was so excited that he trembled all over as he explained it.
Zeng Wenjie listened carefully and nodded involuntarily. It was awesome. The young Hidetaka Miyazaki was still Hidetaka Miyazaki. The game backgrounds he envisioned were all grand and huge, like an epic.
"You are worthy of your name, Mr. Miyazaki." Zeng Wenjie exclaimed.
Miyazaki Hidetaka excitedly said, "You gave me this inspiration, and I should thank you even more! If we can really create a game like this based on these ideas, it will definitely be magnificent and shocking."
Zeng Wenjie was thinking, it might not be shocking, but players would definitely greet your ancestors from time to time.
Souls-like games are a type of game created by Hidetaka Miyazaki. They are known for their extremely high difficulty and simple operation. It was not until the release of "Sekiro" that this type of game began to become popular, and the name Hidetaka Miyazaki was recognized by Chinese players.
Needless to say, the subsequent "Elden Circle" is a masterpiece. Every first-time player will be shocked by its magnificent background and artistic design.
In fact, this kind of high-difficulty game is not niche, after all, it is indeed an excellent game.
Zeng Wenjie now has the WG platform with a user base of tens of millions. If this type of game wants to quickly become popular, it doesn't need to wait for so many years.
"After Hollow Knight is completed, we will start the project of Dark Souls," said Zeng Wenjie.
"Okay, I'll tell Yuka the good news later." Miyazaki Hidetaka rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Well, you can start planning now." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.
Miyazaki Hidetaka said: "Yes, Hollow Knight is now just an internal test, debugging various mechanisms and loopholes. Then, I will talk to Yuka and start planning the entire framework of Dark Souls tomorrow."
After saying this, Hidetaka Miyazaki left with full confidence.
After work, Zeng Wenjie went to Century City. It was also a critical period here. After the work was completed and the odor was removed, the business could be opened immediately.
Mr. Yu gave Zeng Wenjie a lot of help. Whenever he had any questions, he would take the initiative to call and ask.
Sometimes, Mr. Yu would even call to inquire about the progress of Zeng Wenjie's supermarket construction and provide him with the contact information of some high-quality suppliers.
DL and Haoyoulai are thousands of miles apart, so of course there is no competition between them. Moreover, the business philosophy and corporate culture of their two bosses are very consistent.
Mr. Yu sincerely hopes that China's business culture will develop in a better direction, that every worker can gain dignity, and that while helping companies make money, they can also make money themselves and have time to enjoy life;
Zeng Wenjie had always respected entrepreneurs like Mr. Yu. As his status continued to rise and his vision improved, he also began to have ideas like Mr. Yu.
It is difficult for businessmen to become close friends, but Zeng Wenjie and Mr. Yu have really become a pair of close friends, regardless of age difference.
Shi Jing was also deeply liked by Yu Zong. They both liked to read "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" and often got together to discuss in their spare time, but most of the time Shi Jing was learning from this senior.
"Zeng Wenjie, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Xue Xiangyao, who has a pair of long legs that defy the heavens, appeared in Century City. After seeing him, the cold expression on his face melted instantly.
Zeng Wenjie waved at Xue Xiangyao and said, "I've been busy lately, so I haven't been able to attend your gatherings. I'll treat you to dinner when I'm done."
Xue Xiangyao smiled and nodded, saying, "I know. You almost got into trouble a while ago and were condemned by the entire internet."
Zeng Wenjie said calmly, "A little bit of wind and frost, nothing to worry about."
After hearing this, Xue Lu smacked his lips, thinking it was very cultured and full of charm.
Thinking about what I will encounter in the future and how to deal with it, no matter how dangerous or difficult the process is, I can also reply like this, which must be very cool.
Zeng Wenjie’s second-hand pussy is pretty cool to pretend.
"Are you here to see your dad?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
"Yes, I come here frequently recently." Xue Xiangyao said.
She was actually learning from Xue Lu how to build and operate a supermarket. Zeng Wenjie's dazzling achievements made her, as a peer, feel uneasy.
Moreover, the most talked-about topic in the university is actually Zeng Wenjie from Fengyuan!
Principal Mo had mentioned Zeng Wenjie more than once in formal settings, his tone lamenting, as if to say, "Why couldn't a university produce a student like him?" It was quite distressing to everyone...
But when I think about it, I have to admit that this guy is truly God's chosen one, and he is not the kind who is pushed around. He can show not only the data but also his personal strength. He has no problem competing for the top spot among college student entrepreneurs.
Xue Xiangyao can't say that he wants to surpass Zeng Wenjie, but at least he can't just look up to him, right?
Xiao Xue also has a very strong sense of self-esteem.
Zeng Wenjie nodded and went to talk to Xue Lu, discussing the key points.
Xue Xiangyao was listening attentively on the side. If he didn't understand something, he would write it down secretly, thinking of asking Baidu later.
"We'll officially open for business after the summer vacation," Zeng Wenjie said with a sigh.
His plan was to complete it within three months, but when it actually started, he found that it was not that simple. There were so many things to do. If it were not for Mr. Yu's guidance, it would probably have been delayed until the end of this year.
Xue Lu couldn't help but laugh and said, "I hope Hao Youlai can become the DL of our Chongshan Province."
Zeng Wenjie said: "You don't want to become the DL of Chongshan Province, you want to become the General Yu of Chongshan Province."
Xue Lu's smile turned awkward. He had been doing business for most of his life, but when people mentioned him, they basically had nothing good to say about him.
Whenever there is any special operation in the city, they will come first to warn him not to cause trouble during this period.
Therefore, he is now eager for word of mouth, a reputation like Mr. Yu’s, a reputation that can make citizens spontaneously donate money for it!
"The Chamber of Commerce will organize a meeting in two days. Everyone is invited to discuss where Brother Miao fired the first shot before leaving the province." Zeng Wenjie took out a cigarette and lit one, saying.
"Old Yan is preparing to leave the province?" Xue Lu couldn't help smacking his lips.
He thinks life is so wonderful!
Yan Peng had been worried about the bottleneck before and had wanted to expand for a long time, but the lukewarm business made him dare not take this step.
But after joining the Fengzhou Business Alliance and trying to listen to Zeng Wenjie's advice, the business has been booming since the reform started from one branch, and each store has been seeing crazy turnover every day.
How long has it been? Yan Peng already has the confidence and ambition to expand his business beyond Chongshan Province.
Xue Lu asked, "Is Old Yan a little anxious?"
Zeng Wenjie said: "Strictly speaking, we need to let Brother Miao's method withstand the test of the market before considering leaving the province. However, I think it will definitely succeed, so I am encouraging it."
Zeng Wenjie was, of course, full of confidence. Hadn't Haidilao relied on this very strategy to flourish nationwide? In the eyes of this prophet, this strategy had long been tested by the market.
Xue Lu couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this and said, "Mr. Zeng, if you think it's possible, then it's definitely possible. I have confidence in it, and so do my fellow businessmen in the entire business alliance."
Since the establishment of Fengzhou Business Alliance, Brother Miao has grown bigger and stronger, and Zeng Wenjie has really changed the catering and food industry in the city of Fengzhou.
When people in the catering industry saw Brother Miao’s success, they all wanted him to give them advice.
But Zeng Wenjie gave a condition, that is, food safety must be put first and the matter must be done to perfection, only then will he consider helping.
"Let's go, Xiang Yao, let's have a meal together." Zeng Wenjie said.
Xue Xiangyao smiled and said, "How can you, a busy man like you, still have time to have dinner with me today?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "Your legs are so long, I can't help but eat two more bowls when I eat with you!"
"Pooh!"
Xue Xiangyao was directly disdainful, but he was happy in his heart.
She is a loyal fan of Marlennia, and she has long legs with amazing proportions, so she often wears black stockings.
After Qin Yixuan and Yuan Xiuqin no longer appeared on the campus of the university, Xue Xiangyao undisputedly swept through the group of girls from freshman to senior year and took the throne of the school belle.
"I'll treat you today as an apology for missing so many gatherings," said Zeng Wenjie.
"Well, I can also enjoy the meal invited by Mr. Zeng because of my daughter's favor!" Xue Lu said happily.
Zeng Wenjie was always getting things for free, and Xue Lu was close to him, so Xue Lu always paid for every meal.
However, to be honest, Xue Lu felt that his strategy of clinging to someone powerful was very successful, and he had to give himself a thumbs up for his decisiveness.
Otherwise, although he won’t go bankrupt now, his life will definitely not be easy. The authorities will cause trouble for him every now and then and settle accounts with him later.
Then, Zeng Wenjie chose a Lao Yanjing Hotpot restaurant near Century City and invited the father and daughter to dinner.
"How is Senior Xiuqin doing in Shenzhen? She seems very busy and often replies to messages late at night." Xue Xiangyao said.
"She is very busy. On the one hand, she is responsible for the docking business between our company and Penguin, and on the other hand, she has to take Penguin people around to negotiate game copyrights." Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.
Xue Xiangyao said, "Senior Xiuqin has chosen the right place to work with you. Back then, the people from the major university even said it was shameful for a major university student like her to work for students from Fengyuan."
Zeng Wenjie said: "This is normal. It's impossible for everyone to be convinced by me."
Xue Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Zeng is very open-minded! Well, these people will realize the immensity of the world after entering society."
After finishing his meal, Zeng Wenjie paid the bill and left.
He drove directly to Xiaopin Teahouse to pick up Zeng Mi, preparing to take her to visit his newly purchased villa.
Zeng Mi was indeed waiting for him in a cheongsam, and she had also bought some small items in advance and placed them in the house, intending to give them to him on the day she went to his villa.
Zeng Mi bought a set of wine glasses, a set of tea cups, several crystal ashtrays, high-end pen holders, etc., very everyday things.
