Although the domestic economy is developing rapidly, it is mostly built on a large workforce.
These are not good times for IT professionals. In the eyes of others, they are not only idle all day, but also an oddball.
Hu Yuan understood this very well, so as long as he found truly talented people, he had a hundred ways to bring them over.
In Hu Yuan's memory, Suning City is a special place, where many future IT talents will come from.
Because in the future, a person named Ma Xiaohu will emerge from there, overcome all obstacles, rise to prominence through online games, and quickly become a leading figure in the domestic internet industry.
Even if Hu Yuan didn't seek out this person, he could still complete his game and use that to return to his peak.
But Ma Xiaohu may only be able to live an ordinary life. If he is lucky, he may become rich because of his skills. If he is unlucky, he may be poor for the rest of his life.
Since it was he, a time traveler, who plagiarized someone else's idea and was preparing to seize what should have been their future achievements, he couldn't just ignore it; that would be too immoral.
So from the very beginning, Hu Yuan planned to invite Ma Xiaohu to his company and have him take the lead in the development of the game.
In this way, he can at least get a lot of money as compensation.
Moreover, to put it another way, if Hu Yuan had this person's help, the game's development would indeed have been much smoother.
After arriving in Suning City, Hu Yuan didn't know where to go.
Because after that guy became famous, he never revealed the exact location of his hometown, and no one could find out.
This may be his way of protecting his family.
But Hu Yuan knew that the guy not only possessed industry skills that surpassed those of ordinary people, but was also a very powerful entrepreneur.
In other words, he must be a homebody, but internet cafes are also a place he will definitely go.
After all, anyone who wants to succeed needs to do sufficient market research.
Especially for someone who can become a giant in the industry, their market research must be very meticulous.
Nowadays, there are only about a dozen internet cafes in the entire Suning City, and at most one or two in county-level cities.
Therefore, as long as Hu Yuan patiently waits, he will surely find this person.
Therefore, Hu Yuan spent every day in the internet cafe, observing everyone who came in and trying to chat with the owner.
Ma Xiaohu is definitely not an internet addict. He even considers other online games as trash. But since he has achieved such great success, he must come to every internet cafe here, and he might even come regularly.
"You know what, there's a guy who's about 28 or 29 years old who really does what you said. He comes every five or six days, and he never plays games. He just watches other people play. He occasionally turns on the computer once or twice, but he just opens all the games I have and looks at them casually. He doesn't play any of them at all."
It came to him effortlessly. What should have been a difficult search, like finding a needle in a haystack, Hu Yuan found a lead in less than a week.
"Has he come over in the last couple of days?"
Hu Yuan knew that this boss definitely wouldn't know Ma Xiaohu, let alone have his contact information; at most, he would only have a vague impression of him, which was why he asked that question.
"Speaking of which, he hasn't come for five or six days. If you're lucky, you might run into him today. By the way, do you know him?"
The boss was a little curious.
"I don't know him, but he's an extraordinary person. I'd like to ask him for a favor. If you see him, please let me know."
Hu Yuan left a thousand yuan in front of the boss and went straight to the innermost seat to sit down.
A thousand yuan is more than the boss could earn in several days, so he was extra careful and observed everyone who came in today very closely, afraid of missing anyone.
But Ma Xiaohu still hadn't arrived by 11 p.m.
"Boss, I think it's about time. He shouldn't be coming this late. I'll come back tomorrow."
Hu Yuan walked to the front desk and smiled at the boss.
"Yeah, he used to come around 8 or 9 o'clock, which is when I'm busiest, so even if he's not playing, I don't have time to deal with him. If he hasn't come yet, he probably won't come tonight."
The boss seemed a little nervous, as if he was afraid that Hu Yuan would leave empty-handed and want the thousand yuan back.
"Okay, thank you. I'll be there at 5 p.m. tomorrow. Please remember to keep an eye out for me."
Hu Yuan walked out with a smile. Ma Xiaohu might just have something to do today and couldn't be blamed on the boss. He certainly wouldn't be so petty as to insist on getting the money back.
"He didn't come last night or today, did he?"
The next day at 5 p.m., Hu Yuan arrived at the internet cafe on time.
"No, what is he capable of that makes you wait here for him?"
"Anyway, he's not an ordinary person. I'll be working at the same place as yesterday. Remember to keep a close eye on him for me and don't get distracted."
The boss originally wanted to get closer to Hu Yuan, but Hu Yuan wasn't interested in chatting with him, so he left another thousand yuan.
The boss was naturally overjoyed by this situation.
However, he was becoming increasingly puzzled by Ma Xiaohu. Why would someone spend two thousand yuan for no reason just to find him?
The key point is that the person who came to him said that he did not know him and had come because of his reputation.
Is he really that famous?
Of course, despite his curiosity, the boss didn't let this distract him; he kept a close eye on everyone who came in.
Around nine o'clock, the boss finally saw this guy who he never wanted to see before, but who he had been longing to see for the past two days.
Although it was still very busy, with people constantly coming to turn on their computers, the boss could only put the work aside and go to point out the people to Hu Yuan.
After all, Hu Yuan is his cash cow. He was so generous even before finding the person. Now that he has found him, who knows how much kickback he'll get.
"Are you sure it's him?"
Hu Yuan was overjoyed; this guy really was hard to find.
"It can't be wrong."
The boss nodded firmly, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Hu Yuan, waiting for him to pay.
"Okay, thank you."
However, Hu Yuan simply patted him on the shoulder, then eagerly got up and walked towards Ma Xiaohu.
"Hello, are you Ma Xiaohu?"
Hu Yuan got straight to the point, first determining whether this person was indeed his target.
"You know me?"
Ma Xiaohu asked back, looking somewhat bewildered.
"Looks like it really is you. Are you free? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
