As the saying goes, when there's work to be done, the secretary does it; when there's nothing to do, the secretary takes over.
"Damn it," Zhao Ye exclaimed, "I can't take it anymore!"
Fortunately, I had over twenty years of teaching experience in my previous life, so my professional ethics were quite high.
That being said, it was just taking a photo, nothing was done. They wanted to use this to test veteran cadres. Which cadre couldn't withstand such a test?
If you're so capable, just take off your clothes.
...
The first WCG was a great success. By the time of the finals, the event was incredibly popular, and the broadcast ratings on major television stations were also very high.
The audience was seeing such a grand game show for the first time, and it was very novel. Whenever they saw the moves used by the masters in the duel, they couldn't help but exclaim how awesome they were.
"My God, Balotelli in The King of Fighters can do combos like that! Infinite combo with the 'Shūkado' move! That's insane! I've never seen anything like it before!!!"
"After watching the duels between masters, I realized that fighting is actually a psychological game, where you have to anticipate your opponent's moves, and one wrong move can lead to total defeat..."
"My God, is this even human? The speed at which Tetris pieces are placed is so fast, it's making my eyes blur, but a pro can react in time. That hand speed is lightning fast..."
In front of their televisions, countless viewers were deeply moved and amazed.
The way expert players play games is beyond imagination, which is exciting and makes many people decide to try to imitate the expert's moves in the future.
In an instant, arcades around the world experienced a boom in business.
At the same time, comics such as Street Fighter, The King of Fighters, and Samurai Shodown also became very popular.
Revenue from licensing related merchandise has skyrocketed.
On the Bund in Shanghai, you can see many game fans wearing clothes with game character images printed on the front, and some fans even use clothing, accessories, props and makeup to cosplay game characters.
A Cosy clothing store located inside the Dongfeng Hotel is doing booming business!
The travel photography trend that was popular in the previous life has suddenly become popular on the Bund in Shanghai in the 1980s.
"According to rough estimates, since the WCG event began, Shanghai has attracted more than 500,000 domestic and foreign tourists, boosting consumption in transportation, food, accommodation, and shopping. The average spending per person exceeds 500 RMB, with total spending reaching 2.5 RMB!"
A tourism official said happily, "I can't help but look forward to holding the WCG every year."
A tourism bureau official standing nearby smiled and said, "Wujiang Group has decided to hold WCG every year. They are currently negotiating with the government to purchase land and build a large-scale gaming competition venue. During the competition, Wujiang Group will also host a large-scale cosplay event here, and will also invite big stars to perform. Wujiang Group wants to make WCG an unprecedented carnival for gaming fans all over the world!"
...
During the WCG finals, Zhao Ye appeared at the competition venue, causing a sensation and adding to the hype surrounding WCG.
In an effort to generate buzz, Zhao Ye engaged in several friendly matches with several champions of combat sports.
Although Zhao Ye lost all of these matches, he still deserves credit for his performance.
These champions ultimately only won by a narrow margin...
What does this show? It shows that Zhao Ye is incredibly skilled!
This shows that even champions need to understand interpersonal relationships...
The atmosphere at the scene was quite lively, especially when Zhao Ye was knocked out, a cheer would erupt from the crowd.
Goodness, they're happy when Zhao Ye gets humiliated.
The viewers in front of the TV were also amused and enjoyed seeing Zhao Ye make a fool of himself.
Some media outlets have even come up with headlines for tomorrow's headlines: "Shocking!!! Zhao Ye, known as the 'Godfather of Games,' 'Game Tycoon,' and 'Game Inventor,' has suffered consecutive defeats against champions of fighting games such as Street Fighter, The King of Fighters, and Samurai Shodown..."
The WCG tournament ended quickly.
However, the popularity of WCG did not subside in a short period of time.
Meanwhile, Wujiang Games was already incredibly popular, causing the stock prices of companies like Nintendo and Sega to plummet like an avalanche.
From then on, Wujiang Group firmly established its position as a global gaming giant, covering three major platforms: home consoles, handheld consoles, and arcade games.
Right now, Wujiang Group is only missing the opportunity to dominate the PC game platform.
However, PC gaming platforms are not currently mainstream.
Firstly, PCs are expensive; secondly, PCs have poor configurations.
However, in the 1990s, with the price of PCs dropping and the rise of the internet, PC games became extremely promising.
Zhao Ye already had a plan in mind and was moving step by step toward his goal.
...
In early January 1988, most of the research staff at East Zeiss moved to Shanghai.
The optics industry is a high-precision field, so Zhao Ye arranged for all the R&D personnel from East Zeiss to join Tiangong Technology Company, and at the same time, he made East Zeiss a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiangong Technology Company.
At that time, there were West Zeiss and East Zeiss on the market.
If the East Zeiss brand is developed, then West Zeiss will also benefit.
This is something Zhao Ye doesn't want to see.
Zhao Ye plans to try to acquire West Zeiss. If he fails to acquire it, he will completely shelve the Zeiss brand and promote the "Tiangong" brand instead.
That said, aren't there countless examples of foreign companies refusing to endorse or block well-known Chinese brands?
Currently, in order to enhance the strength of the optical R&D department, Zhao Ye has even spun off the optical department of Wujiang Microelectronics Company and merged it into Tiangong Technology Company.
Only by concentrating our efforts can we accomplish great things.
In about a week, the number of researchers at East Zeiss Optical, a subsidiary of Tiangong Technology Company, exceeded 1,000.
