Chapter 93 [Congratulations to Yuan Bao for his success in conquering the world! ! ! ]
From the moment the three statues of [Tangyuanyuan], [Tangyuanyuan's Sword], and [Tangyuanyuan's Mucang] were erected in the square in front of the registration point for the ladder in all regions, the progress of Junlin Bayou was like fast-forwarding.
A change every day.
The members of the Datang project team were becoming more and more frightened as they watched the water rushing upwards.
Logically speaking, they should be happy about the high turnover, but they really can't be happy now - this is the last meal before execution!
The game took four years to produce, but it didn't even survive a year after its launch. No matter how high the revenue was, the head office still had opinions about them.
Don't say it was the leadership who initially chose revenue over game longevity. They'd say it was a choice they couldn't make. The head office wanted both, and forcing a choice between the two was their fault.
Bald Tang Yasheng knocked on the office door and walked in after hearing the word "come in" from inside.
Ren Xi, the chief planner who was staring at the document issued by the head office with a frown, raised his head and saw that Tang Yasheng finally had a smile on his face.
The server transfer, home base, and ladder competition were all proposed by Tang Yasheng. Even if they didn't achieve their desired goal, at least they gave Datang a chance to survive. "Xiao Tang?"
"Boss, I have a new idea." Tang Yasheng touched his head. Although his previous idea made some money for the project team, it also accelerated the demise of Datang.
I don't know if it's because his last name is Tang that he has a deeper affection for Datang. In short, he still doesn't want Datang to be abandoned by the head office.
"Alas." Ren Xi sighed and asked him to come over to look at the document issued by the head office: "Let's take a look at this first."
Tang Yasheng only read the first few lines, and his heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned not so good.
The document essentially states that the Datang project team will be directly transformed into a studio under the head office, with rights over Datang's independent research and development, operational decision-making, and more. Of course, they will also be responsible for their own profits and losses.
After changing into a studio, their power became greater.
But Datang is not the first company to change from a project team to a studio. How many of the "studios" under the name of the head office are not half-dead?
If it was two months ago, Tang Yasheng wouldn't have looked so unhappy, but this document happened to be issued now.
The Tang Dynasty was on its last legs.
Moreover, the profits generated before the change to a studio belong to the head office, not their studio.
Tang Yasheng clenched his fists and spat out a word from between his teeth: "This is too much!"
Ren Xi held his forehead and smiled bitterly. He also wanted to curse.
Although there will be various tasks under the name of the head office and there are greater restrictions, at least they do not need to worry about the cost issue.
After changing into a studio, they have to bear the publicity costs, server maintenance costs, and salaries of the studio members themselves.
If the head office had left the profits from the ladder tournament to them, Ren Xi wouldn't have felt so bad, and Tang Yasheng wouldn't have been so angry.
Shaking his head, he looked at Tang Yasheng, who was suppressing his anger: "Notify everyone that the meeting will be held in the conference room later."
"Okay." Datang was brought up by Ren Xi, and no matter how miserable he was, he couldn't compare to Ren Xi. Tang Yasheng suppressed his anger and looked at him worriedly. But he couldn't say anything to persuade him. In the end, he just nodded in agreement and turned to go out to notify his colleagues to hold a meeting.
"Teacher Tang, how is it?"
"Old Tang, you have a new idea, right? Has the supervisor agreed?"
"Old Tang still has a lot of ideas. The turnover is good this time. Does the supervisor have any rewards?"
Seeing his colleagues pretending to be relaxed, Tang Yasheng forced a smile and said, "Let's have a meeting in the conference room later."
After everyone in the studio arrived, Ren Xi asked the secretary to distribute the document to everyone in the meeting room: "Take a look at this first, this is the document sent to us by the head office."
After reading the document, no one spoke, and soft sobs were heard in the silence.
He is a "newcomer" who has just been here for a year.
When people first entered the gaming industry, most of them had dreams. Who wouldn't want to make a game that makes players happy?
Although Datang was criticized for forcing players to spend money, they only forced the top players. The appearance did not have any attributes, so ordinary players could buy it if they wanted to and not buy it if they didn't want to. Their original intention was to make money from the rich.
Unfortunately, a dragon arrived in the shallow pit of Datang. The dragon only turned over slightly, and the shallow pit was almost dry. When the dragon left, the shallow pit could only watch the remaining water continue to drain away until it dried up.
"If the head office wants to lay us off, just tell them. It's not like Datang is beyond saving! Why are they giving up on Datang?!"
The studio members were all relatively young, and Datang was the first game for most of them, so they had put a lot of effort into it. The company's documents sounded nice, but in reality, it was simply this: Datang was abandoned.
Because after Tang Yuanyuan and Tang Yuanyuan's sword leave, Datang's expenditure will definitely be higher than its income.
And these two are almost done with dominating the game!
"Boss, if I'm well fed, my whole family won't be hungry. Just lower my salary, and don't raise Lao Zhou and the others."
"It's not like I don't have savings, so I don't need you to subsidize us."
"Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of bonuses lately, so I can hold on for a while."
"Since the headquarters won't give us any quests anymore, and we're not so pushy about spending money, the loss of players should slow down, right?"
"Alas, how can we afford to maintain the server if we don't spend money?"
"Let's merge the servers. Some servers don't have many people anyway."
"Don't you have a new idea, Old Tang? Tell me about it?"
Seeing everyone in the conference room looking at him, Tang Yasheng spread his hands and said, "I originally wanted to create more fan works. The more fan works there were, the more likely passers-by would see them, but now..."
He didn't finish the rest of his words, but everyone understood and immediately looked away in disappointment.
There may not even be enough money to maintain the server, so how can there be money to encourage fan creation?
Ren Xi adjusted his mindset and coughed to draw everyone's attention: "Let's try our best to see if we can save it. The head office isn't completely unkind. At least there's still some energy left in the ladder competition for us."
"The planning department should first think about future activities, the finance department should hand over to the head office, the customer service department should pay attention to the feedback from the game, and the technical department should monitor the in-game environment and set sensitive keywords."
"Monarch's Landing isn't some locust guild. They won't take everyone away after they take over the game. But you have to pay attention to the players inside. Some words should be avoided if possible."
Everyone understood what he meant. It's inevitable to curse when playing games, and how many good words can you say when cursing?
Immediately, they all responded: "Understood."
Tang Yasheng felt upset when he thought of the alliance that dominated the game. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
Fortunately, he caught this idea and looked at Ren Xi carefully: "Director, I have an idea."
The others were suddenly shocked.
It must be said that although Tang Yasheng’s ideas were all bad in terms of results, he did make money!
Even Ren Xi's eyes showed a glimmer of hope: "You say."
"If the profits are big enough, the head office shouldn't mind selling Datang." Tang Yasheng also knew that this idea was outrageous, so his voice gradually became lower and lower: "Can we find Tang Yuanyuan or Tang Yuanyuan's sword..."
"You mean to convince them to buy Datang?" Ren Xi lowered his eyes in disappointment. "Datang is not profitable anymore, but others are not fools."
"It's possible." Artist Gulu raised his hand and said weakly, "Tang Yuanyuan's sword is recognized as a love-brained person. The Tang Dynasty is the place where he and Tang Yuanyuan reunited and fell in love."
Wang Yaoling, who was sitting next to her, nodded in agreement. "Boss, you might not have read the gossip section of the forum. Someone has compiled a list of what Tang Yuanyuan and Jian have done since they met. From our perspective, there's a lot of meaningless spending going on."
The two of them would also play Datang after get off work, so of course they knew more about Datang's gossip than Ren Xi.
Ren Xi only knew that these two people were rich and had status, and they knew each other better.
Seeing that both of them were supportive, Ren Xi became interested: "Tell me about it."
Wang Yaoling glanced at Gulu and expressed her opinion first: "As long as you tell Tang Yuanyuan's sword that the place where they met will disappear, there is an 80% chance that he will buy Datang."
Gulu disagreed: "We have to convince Tang Yuanyuan first. If she doesn't agree, Tang Yuanyuan won't buy the sword."
"What if he kills first and asks for permission later as a gift?"
"He is the top leader of a country, not a fool." Gulu frowned and looked at Wang Yaoling.
Wang Yaoling opened her mouth and lowered her head dejectedly.
Ren Xi clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back to himself: "It's okay, let's contact them. Who is their exclusive customer service representative?"
No one in the customer service department spoke. After a while, a weak voice came from the corner: "Neither of them added us."
Tang Yasheng glanced at the customer service department speechlessly: "It's okay, I'll go chat with them privately in the game."
"I'll go." Ren Xi's smile relaxed a little: "It would be more sincere if I went."
"Supervisor, remember to go to Huihuang and check out their live broadcast room. It would be bad if the player accidentally broadcasts it live." Wang Yaoling added in a low voice.
Ren Xi glanced at her in surprise: "I remember that. You girls are really careful."
"But everyone should first complete the tasks I assigned to them. If they decide to buy Datang, we have to let them know we're not just a makeshift team, right?"
"yes!"
Perhaps because of the new hope, the atmosphere in the meeting room became much more relaxed.
As for what to do if it’s not bought, no one would specifically point it out at this moment.
Even if some of them will be laid off after the company is bought, they still hope for the best for Datang.
"Let's adjourn the meeting." Ren Xi said with a smile: "You guys go and do your own things. I'll go to the game and solicit investment."
So when Tangyuan came online, he saw the private chat.
[Private Chat] [GM001]: Excuse me, I am Ren Xi, the director of Datang Studio. Are you interested in purchasing Datang Studio? If you are interested, please add UU: datangrenxi
Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Jinxing in the video: “Did you receive it?”
Shen Jinxing directly turned the camera over and pointed it at the private chat bar: "This?"
After their accounts are offline, they both set up settings so that strangers cannot have private messages with them. The fact that this private message can be sent in means that this is a real GM.
Tangyuan became interested, and the main people who chatted with her privately were those who had studied the order in which she logged in. Generally, she would log in to the game first, then log in to World of Warcraft, and finally start the live broadcast.
They even figured out the order in which she logged in, which showed that the other party really wanted her to buy Datang.
It just so happened that she had been unhappy with the forced kryptonian intensity of Datang for a long time, but she also happened to like Datang's ink painting style and plot.
Open UU immediately and add friends.
It passed in seconds.
After seeing the nickname, Tangyuan curled his lips speechlessly. How could someone use his or her position as the UU nickname?
Ren Xi also didn't want to use the nickname [Main Planner of the Tang Dynasty], but Tang Yasheng persuaded him that this would at least let the other party know who he was.
After thinking about it, Ren Xi felt that it made sense and put it into use.
[——Main Planner of Datang——]
Datang Chief Planner: Hello, Mr. Tang, I am Ren Xi, a planner from Datang. Our headquarters has issued a document to reform the project team into a studio. I think Mr. Tang will be interested.
Datang Chief Planner: [Notice on the Change of Datang Project Team to Studio.docx]
You: Let me see.
After reading it, Tangyuan understood. The Antarctic Light headquarters thought that she and Shen Jinxing would run away after taking over the game, and after making a fortune, they simply threw the Datang project team out and let them fend for themselves.
Shen Jinxing knew she was moved by her expression: "Since you like playing Datang anyway, it's not bad for us to buy it."
He had previously thought that Tangyuan had lost interest in Datang after playing the game, so he would make a similar game for Tangyuan to play.
Now the Tang Dynasty has it right at our doorstep. It would be a waste not to eat it, and it can also save some development costs.
Lately, the system has been complaining about how hard it is to make money, and he finds it quite annoying to hear it.
"Aurora Australis won't ask for too much, right?" Tangyuan liked this game, but she didn't want to spend too much money.
Chen Jinxing smiled and said, "No, they threw out the Datang project team because they knew that Datang would not make money after we two left. If there was a chance to sell it to us, they wouldn't be stupid enough to ask for an exorbitant price."
"Then let me talk to the planner?" If she bought it and modified it according to her ideas, Datang would have to pay for it, but she really liked the style of Datang's paintings, so Tangyuan was a little hesitant.
"Let's start a group video and see what he says before making a decision, okay?"
"Okay!" Tangyuan nodded and opened the chat box to send a message.
[——Main Planner of Datang——]
You: Can I create a group and we can chat via video?
Ren Xi was suddenly alerted. Of course he knew who was pulled in, so he quickly answered.
Datang Chief Planner: No problem, I’ll follow your arrangements.
Tang Yasheng, Gulu and Wang Yaoling, who were sitting next to him, looked at his face full of joy and their eyes lit up.
"Boss, did they agree?" Wang Yaoling couldn't hold back her words.
Ren Xi patted his face to calm himself down: "I am willing to talk!"
"Boss, if there's a chance, I'll go get you some tea! Let's have a good talk!!!" Tang Yasheng's excitement was beyond words, and he stood up to pour tea.
"This kid." Ren Xi smiled and shook his head, took a deep breath and connected to the group video.
A man and a woman appeared on the screen. He calmed his thoughts and greeted them with a smile: "Hello, bosses. I'm Ren Xi."
"Hello, Mr. Ren." As if to avoid a smiling face, Tang Yuan also smiled and introduced him: "My name is Tang Yuan, and this is my boyfriend, Chen Jinxing."
Shen Jinxing had a gloomy face except when he was facing her. She was afraid that if she didn't introduce herself, the other person would be scared and retreat.
"You two are a talented man and a beautiful woman." Ren Xi thought of Wang Yaoling saying that Shen Jinxing was love-brained, and smiled and praised him.
Shen Jinxing's expression finally softened a bit: "Your project team has been changed into a studio, how come you thought of asking me and my wife to buy it."
"To be honest with you, Mr. Shen, if you two leave the game, Datang will immediately be in a state of deficit. Datang is the hard work of our entire project team, and we really don't want it to be shut down and disappear like this." Ren Xi smiled bitterly.
Shen Jinxing frowned: "Stop the service and disappear?"
"Yes." Ren Xi observed their expressions and explained carefully: "The revenue is not enough. We may not be able to pay for the maintenance of the server in the future."
"Where is the money we earned before?" Tangyuan was curious. With the amount of money forced to spend on re-users by Datang, isn't the money earned enough to maintain the server?
Ren Xi lowered his head: "The profits before belonged to the head office, and the profits after changing to a studio belong to us."
Shen Jinxing was right, he was really thrown out. Tangyuan nodded thoughtfully.
Neither of them spoke, and Ren Xi felt a chill in his heart. He gritted his teeth and played the emotional card as Gulu had said before: "We thought that since you two have known each other since the Tang Dynasty, your feelings towards the Tang Dynasty might be similar to ours, so we thought of trying to find you two."
Shen Jinxing's eyes moved slightly: "We can ask Nan Jiguang to acquire your studio, but after the acquisition, you may all be laid off. Can you accept that?"
Tang Yuan looked at him, not quite understanding why he asked this. Shen Jinxing gave her a soothing look, and Tang Yuan waited obediently for Ren Xi's answer.
Ren Xi exhaled and smiled with relief. "It would be better to keep a few people in the technical department to facilitate maintenance. Copywriting and art are Datang's strengths, and I hope you can keep them. There's a young man named Tang Yasheng in the planning department. He was the one who came up with many of the previous activities. If you don't mind, you can keep him."
Tang Yuan blinked: "What about you?"
"I have a good resume, so it won't be hard to find my next job." After figuring it out, Ren Xi relaxed.
It doesn’t matter whether he is in the Tang Dynasty or not. After all, isn’t the original intention to keep the Tang Dynasty alive?
"Brother." Tang Yuan looked at Shen Jinxing eagerly.
Chen Jinxing glanced at her, his brows relaxed, and said to Ren Xi: "Please help contact your head office. After the acquisition, the staff will not move, and the office will be moved to L City. Can the development of Datang be done according to my wife's instructions?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Ren Xi stood there in a daze. Gulu gently pushed him, and then he reacted and nodded in agreement.
This is just about taking them all in and transferring them to L City for work. It's no big deal.
As for the development of the game, could it be worse than shutting down the server? Furthermore, these two lords are not short of money, and they won't issue outrageous tasks like the headquarters.
Since Nan Jiguang has transformed the Datang project team into a studio, it means they are not fools. Of course, they would not raise the price just because someone wants to acquire them, especially since the acquirer is the "culprit" who caused them to abandon Datang.
What if the lion asks for an exorbitant price but people don’t want to buy it?
One party wanted to buy, the other wanted to sell. After both parties reached an agreement, Nan Jiguang immediately sent the financial and legal department and Ren Xi to L City to sign the contract with Tang Yuan.
Finally, Tangyuan acquired the "Nanjiguang Datang Studio" for 1.3 billion RMB and changed its name to "Datang Studio".
Since the studios had been acquired and asked to move in, Tangyuan simply bought another building in L City - of course, all the payments were made using Shen Jinxing's card.
Her daily quota is more than 13 million. She can't tell others to pay 13 million in installments a day, right?
After completing all the procedures, Tangyuan felt that her hands started to hurt from signing the contract, and her whole body was numb from exhaustion.
The money is in place, the Tang Dynasty has changed hands, and changes are bound to happen.
The official blog quietly changed the name of the company under Aurora Australis in the introduction to Dream World - Tangyuan already had a Dream Amusement Park under his name, and when he acquired Datang Studio from Aurora Australis, he also registered a company called "Dream World".
However, generally no one paid attention to these things until all the cities on the Datang server raised the "Tang" flag.
The live broadcast room was filled with joy.
【Congratulations on your success in playing Yuanbaobayou! ! ! 】
Ahh ...
【When the truth comes out!!!】
[I'm so happy, sister-in-law, tell me! Which game is next? I'm going to go!]
[Welcome the Queen to the throne, long live the Queen]
【This is the first time I’ve seen such a grand spectacle! 】
[Hahahaha, the planners must be dumbfounded. They didn't expect that there wouldn't even be a national war. The entire Tang Dynasty belongs to the Tang family army!]
The next second, the planner was dumbfounded, and the yellow words popped up on the system, shocking the players.
[System Announcement]: In the year 1789 of the Tang Dynasty, Empress [Tang Yuanyuan] unified the world. The flag with the word [Tang] was flying above the city, and everyone in the world submitted to her.
[World][Xiaoyao]: I didn't eat any mushrooms, why did you have to lick them like this? ???
[World][I say three words]: Just one word, bullshit.
[World][Flying Flowers Like Dreams]: Is this the face of the card? Mom, why do I have no money? I want the whole world to submit to me.
[World][Sumei]: I have so much complaints that I don’t know how to vent them. Fuck you.
【World】【No Appointment】: Check out the official blog for updates and introductions, there are surprises...
【World】【Drunken Poetry】: It’s almost shocking!!!
Countless players, whose appetites had been whetted, opened their Weibo accounts and made the sound of plants when they saw the updated content released by the official blog.
Dear Knights:
Datang will conduct a non-stop update for all servers from 07:00 to 12:00 on October 7.
This update includes:
The Tang Dynasty has been unified. The Tang Dynasty has been ravaged by banners bearing the Chinese character "Tang." The national war system has been shut down, and the sects have retreated into obscurity. All players can choose to join the orthodox army or the rebels to fight for the city.
To celebrate the unification of the Tang Dynasty, the Queen has prepared many gifts for everyone, including appearance, points, silver, etc. You can get all of them by signing in for seven days.
Increase the upper limit of player capacity of each server to 50,000 players.
The combat system has been optimized to increase the sense of impact during combat.
[Datang Project Team October 7]
Are you crazy or am I crazy? What does the closure of the national war mean?
[This is ridiculous. If the national war is closed, will I be unable to become emperor in the future?]
[I logged into the test server and found that there are no sects. The NPC sitting on the dragon throne in the palace has the ID of the princess, and the NPC next to the princess is the NPC of the son-in-law. Many of the NPCs patrolling have the ID of Junlin.]
"Ah, so you can't be emperor anymore, you can only seize cities? If the rebels take over too many places, they'll be overwhelmed by the emperor in the imperial city?"
[No, you should read Atang's profile carefully]
