Number One Game Designer

In the afternoon of the first day alone, Hongyi's booth suffered its first huge impact.

"The scale of our demo area is completely inadequate. According to the current player's scale, if each player tries to play for ten minutes, the team will have to queue at least until nine o'clock tomorrow morning to end."

Lu Tao complained to Lu Wanqi with a tired expression. Just now, he tried to get the players to disperse and wait for the game news to be released. The result was not effective, and he almost got scolded.

Lu Wanqi is also not relaxed, Fang Xi is not there, she has to temporarily shoulder the coordination of the scene.

"Where is Fang Xi?"

"I don't know, maybe I went back, maybe...anyway, he just don't come to the scene to add chaos. If the players on the scene see him appear, the only little order now will completely collapse."

"That's right." Lu Wanqi rubbed her head with a headache. Not only was the machine not enough for the trial, but the manpower and venue were all very tight. Now the team in the demo area has been lined up to another booth, and the length is increasing. .

"Sister Wanqi, the organizer has supported a batch of our machines."

Xiaolan rushed over to inform the news, and then ran away again. Now the order of the team is all maintained by Xiaolan, who is the most tiring person in the audience.

"Chen Yu, go and install the demo version."

"Su Luo, you go to coordinate with the organizer and ask them to send a group of people over to maintain order."

"Lu Tao Lu Qiu, you two will guide the players together with me."

Lu Wanqi rubbed her head, and then proceeded to order the few people in an orderly manner.

And Fang Xizai met the organizer of the Los Angeles Game Show in the background.

"Get to know, I am Noren Sorrento, the honorary chairman of this exhibition, you can call me Noren."

Fang Xi shook his hand politely, "Fang Xi, you can call me FANG."

"I take the liberty to ask, you are not a member of ESA?"

At present, E3, the world’s most famous game exhibition, is organized by ESA. The full name of this organization is TheEntertainmentSoftware Association, which is also known as the Entertainment Software Association. Electronic games are also for better business activities. This association sponsored and operated the electronic game exhibition, which later became E3. In the United States, basically all well-known game companies are ESA members, and the total sales of entertainment software by ESA members each year Can account for about 90% of the total sales of entertainment software in the United States.

In layman's terms, this is a joint association of American game companies. As long as your game company grows larger in the United States, they will invite you to join the association. After joining, you can enjoy better resources and more convenient policies, so there is basically no enterprise. Will refuse, and the E3 game show run by this association is no wonder there will be such a big influence-a game show organized by the power of game manufacturers in the United States, it is strange that it is unsuccessful. In this case, the San Francisco Game Show, an exhibition that seems to be in opposition to E3, is very intriguing.

Sorrento looked shrewd and capable, thirty or so, he belonged to the kind of meticulous and ambitious person, he smiled politely:

"E3 represents the Federation, and the San Francisco Game Show only represents San Francisco."

Fang Xi understands Sorrento’s explanation. The United States is composed of dozens of large states. These large states are united and independent of each other. Sorrento means that E3 represents official interests at the federal level. The game show of San Francisco (the official translation of San Francisco) is more about thinking from the side of the state government. It is no wonder that there are only three or two big-name manufacturers at this game show. It seems that Sorrento has more I want to draw in the power of independent game producers to leverage other relationships.

These thoughts passed through Fang Xi's mind within a second, and for a moment they left him behind. The struggle between American companies was a matter for him, and Young Master Fang hoped that they could fight against each other, and only then could he benefit. .

"I was abrupt, thank you Mr. Nolan for giving us Hongyi this opportunity to show his game."

The corner of Sauron's mouth was hooked, and a standard businessman smile appeared on his face. Seeing this smile, Fang Xi knew that he should be here to discuss cooperation.

The result is not beyond Fang Xi’s expectation. Nolan may just invite him at will before inviting Fang Xi, but today he has obtained Fang Xi’s detailed information, knowing that Fang Xi already has a company under his own name, and most importantly, there is currently no overseas Business, and what he focused on was the right to operate all games under Fang Xi.

As far as Fang Xi is concerned, he can only say that the actual launch time of the two games is still uncertain, so he can't give an accurate answer. It’s not surprising to Nolen either. No matter if Fang Xi refuses to surrender his power of agency, it is very difficult for him to get it now. If he changes his position in Fang Xi, it is the right choice to sell for the price. Fortunately, this is not the case. His main intention.

"So, does Mr. Fang Xi have the intention of selling the game plan?"

"Huh?" Fang Xi's expression was stern. Sorrento smiled and didn't care:

"Mr. Fang Xi, we might as well... In your Eastern words, open the skylight to talk. Our investigation department shows that the Hongyi game under your name has only been less than a year since you took over last year. In time, three webgame games and the three PC games you just showed on stage were produced, and one of them even has a pseudo-3A standard, and the return ratio of the three webgame games has reached ten times. Above, what’s more outstanding is that our current information shows that Mr. Fang has never had a loan record in the bank since he took over the company, which also confirms that Hongyi is currently running well. So compared to Mr. FANG’s excellent game, we are more concerned Mr. FANG’s talent, my investigation department made bold assumptions. Mr. FANG now has more than one excellent game plan, but it cannot be implemented temporarily due to various reasons. And our San Francisco Electronic Game Association ESF, is willing Purchased and reached a cooperation with Hongyi."

Sorrento’s words were very long, and Fang Xi listened very seriously. Although his face was calm, there was already a wave in his heart. This is one of the smartest businessmen Fang Xi has encountered so far. Other companies All he saw was the amazing return ratio of Hongyi, but he saw at a glance that the core of Hongyi's success lies in him and he boldly assumed that he had other game plans in his hands.

Fang Xi looked at Sorrento again, and Sorrento was not in a hurry, or even not in a hurry. The two were now in a reception room in the background. After coming in, Lorento had already signaled the two bodyguards to move the others. They all invited them out. After speaking, Sorrento slowly stirred a cup of coffee, waiting for Fang Xi's answer.

What is the purpose of the other party? Fang Xi lowered his head to ponder. ESF is well understood. The abbreviation of ESA, the organizer of E3, also starts with ES. This is the abbreviation of video game. The letter A of ESA is the abbreviation of Association, which is the association of associations. What about Sorrento's ESF? F is Francisco? Just representing San Francisco? He wants to buy a plan from himself, which means he has confidence in himself. This is a person who has studied himself, and he needs a work that is as successful as a game released by Hongyi to improve his own words. right? It seems that he is not very content with the status quo...

He had to try again. Thinking of this, Fang Xi looked up at Sorrento's coffee that he was stirring, but he didn't drink a sip of coffee, and the other party didn't show such calmness in his heart.

"What good can it give me?"

Sorrento picked up the coffee and drank it, a little bit eager, but still calm.

"I will help you with your branch in the United States, even" Sorrento paused here to observe Fang Xi's reaction, whipping up his appetite: "If you want to join ESA, I can also introduce it to you."

Sure enough, as he thought, Fang Xi shook his head in his heart. He already knew Sorrento's purpose, so he didn't bother to play Tai Chi. Fang Xi lay down behind him, holding the winning ticket.

"Mr. Nolan, how confident do you have to be elected ESA chairman?"

Hearing that Sorrento's cheek twitched, and he did not hide it: "If Mr. Fang goes well here, very much."

Fang Xi squinted his eyes: "Mr. Sorrento is so confident, the California government has also played a role? Then the presidential election is eligible for restrictions?"

Speaking of Sorrento, he did not hide it:

"The company running for president must have a game that reached platinum sales that year. It depends on Mr. Fang's confidence."

Fang Xi weighed in his mind, platinum sales, that is, sales of one million copies, to use such a game plan in exchange for the qualifications to enter the US market? It seems to be so cost-effective.

A commercial standard smile appeared on Fang Xi's face:

"Before I say that the cooperation is happy, I take the liberty to ask, why does Mr. Sorrento have such confidence in me?"

"I have the best investigative office in the world." Sorrento answered with just that. Then stand up

"Happy cooperation. I hope that we can get the plan before Christmas. After we get it, our professional department will also evaluate the plan in detail. Don't worry about the cost."

"Happy cooperation." Fang Xi nodded. But I am still thinking about Sorrento's answer: The best investigative office in the world?

What does it mean?
