Build a game empire from scratch

Even though the players were surprised by the news, let alone the media who received the invitation.

Lin You took the initiative to organize a press conference?

This is the sun coming out from the west!

Lin You didn't know if he had social phobia or something, and he basically never attended formal occasions.

All kinds of business invitations, forums, salons, seminars, charity dinners... He never paid attention to any of them.

And it's not like other entrepreneurs who will find an excuse of "too busy to take time off".

Lin You was different, he just said directly without giving face: "I'm not interested, I won't go."

No EQ at all.

Of course, because Yunmeng is too successful and he is too rich, this kind of behavior is called "acting rashly" and "free and easy".

Even if there was any big news about Yunmeng, Lin You just posted a post and it was over, and basically did not accept a few interviews.

With this kind of boss around, even his subordinates don't like being interviewed very much.

So for the media, Yunmeng is now seriously announcing the development conference and even sending them an invitation letter one day in advance, which is really unprecedented.

So don't even think about it: it must be big news!

All the media planned to arrange for their most senior reporters to go there without even thinking about it.

Compared with this big news, other things seem a lot smaller.

For example, on the way to the [Peak Battle], America’s anchor Eika, who was taken away by the FBI, was finally cleared of all suspicions after a day and returned to her home smoothly.

It was also during this process that he came into contact with the [Foundation for Freedom of Life and Democratic Activities] for the first time.

Not only provided him with a first-class lawyer, but even offered to explain that if he planned to protest or countersuit, he could provide all support including funds and personnel.

But Eika is a big anchor, not short of money.

Although I was dragged out of the house with a gun pointed at my head for no reason, I was so angry that I was dying.

But when he thought that the other party was the FBI, the anger in his heart cooled down again, so let it go.

Not to mention counterclaims and protests, I didn't even post a dynamic complaint on social networks, just pretend that nothing happened, and returned to the previous pace of life.

To say that the only good news is that it proved that he held a mirage and entered the virtual world to play games. The law enforcement agencies didn't care, and they didn't mean to find fault with him from the beginning to the end.

In addition, Zhao Yucheng's trial ended today.

The result was similar to what online lawyers and netizens predicted: he was sentenced to 8 years in prison.

Because of ignorance, no major losses, and a good attitude of pleading guilty—he said he was instigated by Wu Yong, which was also confirmed in subsequent interrogations. It was indeed Wu Yong's first suggestion, so it was better than the online lawyers predicted. 2 years less than 10 years.

But also because of this, Wu Yong's prison time has been super doubled, from no more than 5 years in the forecast, it has more than doubled to 12 years.

Qian Wenqi is the most accurate, exactly 5 years.

The media did not miss this news, and the report was reported as usual.

It's just that the news that was expected to hit the top three in the hot search, but now it's just struggling to climb to the top 10, and there is no follow-up.

It fully demonstrates the fact that NetDragon has completely passed away.

Finally, at around 6:00 p.m., the official account of "Minecraft" announced that two new modules would be launched the next day.

These will also be the last two official mods, after which the operation team will focus on the long-term operation and maintenance of the game.

Of course, this is just an external statement.

In fact, the team has been greatly reduced, and most of the people have been transferred to the "Chang'an" and "Pokemon" development teams to work on new games.

But harmless.

Because up to now, the main force on the module sharing platform is already the player team and the studio.

Although Lin You was playing tricks, he used a "mod" like "Terraria" to deal a round of dimensionality reduction blows to all mod makers.

But "Terraria" also picks players, regardless of style or difficulty, not everyone will like it.

In this regard, a large number of fresh and interesting modules produced by players and studios can just make up for it. They will take over the baton of official modules and continue to provide players with new content in the future.

As for Yunmeng's game operation team, it only needs to fix patches, adjust data, update things in a leisurely manner, hold an event occasionally, and maintain the atmosphere of the player community.

The work is easy and doesn't require too many people.

However, the reaction of the players is a bit hard to describe.

If there are expectations, there must be some.

After all, the quality of "Terraria" is so explosive, and it is so exciting to play.

But to say that there are only expectations, that is not the case.

Or because "Terraria" is too inappropriate in terms of style and difficulty, it is unique among all Yunmeng games.

Players are very worried: Will the new mod still look like this.

So for this news, I am both looking forward to it and apprehensive.

In this state of mind, the heat will naturally not be high.

Early the next morning, 6:30 in the morning.

Yang Qingfeng, a special reporter of "Xiajing Dazhong Science and Technology News", braved the winter chill, went out early to join his colleagues, and went to the headquarters of Yunmeng Company together.

As an acquired blind person, it is really difficult to express Yang Qingfeng's gratitude to Lin You in simple words.

Whenever there is news related to Lin You, he will rush to the scene as soon as possible.

Last time, in order to take pictures of Lin You's airship flying over Xiajing, he went to the rooftop of Xiajing's tallest building to blow the cold wind in winter, and he didn't complain at all from the beginning to the end.

Afterwards, he wrote a manuscript with enthusiasm, praising this as "unprecedented and bold idea, which not only has an excellent publicity effect on Yunmeng's new game, but also the flight itself is a unique scenery, which is a wonderful experience for Xia Jing in the cold winter." Adds a splash of color."

The editor-in-chief thought for a long time whether this is a rainbow fart, and whether it is not very objective.

In the end, I still feel: Although there is indeed a suspicion, it is also a fact, and it is still published after all.

This time Yang Qingfeng enthusiastically recommended himself again, and the editor-in-chief still agreed, but he was ready for the next "Rainbow Fart".

But anyway, in the game industry, Lin You's reputation has always been very good, so Rainbow Fart is Rainbow Fart, and the editor-in-chief also accepts it psychologically.

...

When Yang Qingfeng arrived at the press conference, it was just seven o'clock, and it was still very early before the press conference started at 9 o'clock.

But unsurprisingly, the conference hall was almost packed with colleagues.

Everyone was obviously looking forward to Yunmeng's invitation and the big news to come.

Some people still want to try to walk around Yunmeng before the press conference starts, take some photos, and better interview some employees.

After all, the opportunity is rare, usually they can't get in even if they want to.

But they soon realized that they were thinking too much, the whole Yunmeng was empty, and there was no one in sight.

——Yunmeng's clock-in time for work is 9:00 in the morning. Unless there is a special job, no employee will come to the company at 8:00, let alone it is only 7:00 now.

Qiao Nanyu, Yunmeng's chief steward, came early and led the administrative team to organize the press conference.

Ever since, the whole room was sitting there, chatting and waiting for the press conference to start.

At 8:10, Ye Xiaohe ran over with the "new media team" and excitedly started to set up the live broadcast equipment, preparing to take advantage of this hot topic.

She was wearing a neat hoodie with a kitten in the hood. Five cats and a dog ran around behind her buttocks, attracting the attention of everyone in the conference hall.

——These cats and dogs were basically brought by the employees of the "Chang'an" development team.

This group of people is now full of blood, each of them is full of enthusiasm and plans to work hard. Before 8 o'clock, they will come to the company one after another and start working.

At 8:30, Lin You arrived at the company.

However, he did not start the press conference ahead of time, but ran to the office of the "Chang'an" project team first, had breakfast with the employees who hadn't eaten, and chatted about Chang'an's development plan after the meal.

At 8:55, Lin You arrived at the conference site on time.

As the start time approached, the reporters present consciously stopped chatting slowly, and the venue gradually became quiet.

In the silence, Lin You walked onto the stage with a microphone in hand, facing the room full of reporters.

"There has always been a serious shortcoming [of Journey Planning]."

Without any opening, Lin You directly started the press conference.

And the first sentence he spoke surprised many reporters.

The expectations in everyone's hearts are all big news about the game. The venue of the press conference was chosen at the headquarters of Yunmeng Company, which provided strong support for this conjecture.

But now, no?

[journey plan]?

Many people have to think about it before they can recall this plan: Since the launch of the [Bafang] series of audio-visual aid headbands, Journey Prosthetics has funded a special education school every week. This plan is called [Journey Project] .

But for Yang Qingfeng, who is himself a disabled person, there is no need to think about it!

And just listening to Lin You's first sentence, he immediately guessed the theme of this press conference——

"Could it be that people with language barriers can also speak?"

"What?" The colleague beside him turned his head strangely.

But Yang Qingfeng didn't need to explain anymore.

Because what Lin You said next immediately confirmed his guess:

"That is, we can only help students with visual and hearing impairments, and children with language impairments, limited by technical difficulties, we have been unable to do anything."

"Let these children watch their blind classmates see the world again, and their deaf classmates hear everything again, but they themselves have not changed. This is undoubtedly a cruel thing."

"Happily: this regret will come to an end today!"

"The time is short, the following content, everyone can only see the live video, please forgive me."

Lin You said sorry words, but his expression and tone were full of pride.

Everyone followed his gaze and looked at the huge display screen that suddenly lit up——

The first thing to appear in the camera is a school that many people still remember:

"Shangbei Special Education School for the Blind, Deaf and Mute in Gansu Province"

That was the school where the Journey Prosthetics Company had its first development conference, and it was also the first stop of [Journey Project].

The familiar van, the familiar logo of the holy mountain on the van, everything seems to reappear yesterday.

The west in winter looks much colder than the east, and the school is unavoidably deserted.

In addition, many students with visual impairment and hearing impairment have already transferred to other schools. Even for the students who are still there, parents are trying to find a way to transfer their children away next semester. What about educational school learning?

It's just that the economic development of this place is relatively backward, unlike Wanwan's rich educational resources in Xiajing, it is even more difficult to transfer schools before the end of the semester.

Of course, Lin You is not someone who donates things to satisfy his own moral pleasure and then ignores the follow-up.

He has been in contact with the education system through Lu Wei.

[Bafang] This outrageous product is destined to have a huge impact on special education schools from the day it appears, and it is unavoidable.

And the [Journey Plan], which only donates to one school a week, is actually insignificant in this overall impact.

After all, compared to the sales of [Bafang] headbands in the past few months, the donations from [Journey Project] are not even a drop in the bucket.

When they made donations to special education schools in the poorest county in Sichuan last week, they even found that more than half of the blind and deaf students there had already worn [Bafang] headbands—even if the family was really poor and their parents worked hard Let them see and hear it earlier.

The huge impact of [Bafang] headbands in the whole country can be seen.

And the huge impact they brought to special education schools, the relevant institutions in Daxia have already started to deal with it.

After all, it is not so easy for all these students to enter ordinary schools - the places in ordinary schools are also limited, and it is impossible to create so many places out of thin air.

Therefore, rather than assisting these students to disperse into an ordinary school, it is better to directly transform a special school.

Anyway, from now on, Daxia no longer needs so many special education schools!

This not only avoids countless families running around for their children's education, but also avoids the closure of a special education school.

However, in order to achieve this, the two problems of funding and educational resources must be resolved.

This kind of major issue involving the whole country must naturally be resolved by the state.

Lin You contacted them because [Journey Project] was too eye-catching after all, so he wanted to contribute to provide funds for all the special education schools that [Journey Project] had donated to help them complete the school's "transformation" ".

"Shangbei Special Education School for the Blind, Deaf, and Mute in Gansu Province" will once again become the first "transformation" school among the schools funded by the [Journey Project].

So after winter and winter vacation, this school will usher in a huge change.

But at the moment, it is inevitable that this place will be a little deserted.

And the arrival of the [Journey Plan] staff added a lot of lively atmosphere to the school.

Because it was a live broadcast, the staff did not waste time, and went directly to the class where the dumb students were led by the teacher, and worked with the school teachers to assist the students to try out the new and upgraded version of [Bafang Head Ring]—the hardware changes are very small , the real changes are all in the software.

Even for the small hardware changes, the interface has been reserved before it goes on the market—neither Lin You nor the engineers of Journey Prosthetics can ignore such an obvious shortcoming of the [Bafang] headband. Before the release, I thought about the follow-up "function completion".

Students with language barriers put on headbands one by one, and under the guidance of the staff, they fitted them step by step.

Watching this scene were not only the reporters at the press conference, but also millions of viewers in Ye Xiaohe's live broadcast room - this number is still climbing rapidly as time goes by.

Everyone is looking forward to the scene where the miracle will happen.

Lin You and Xiao Meng are also waiting.

When the first person speaks, it is the time when Lin You fully fulfills the original promise.

It was also the time when the [Rehabilitation Teacher Program], an unprecedented grand plan involving hundreds of millions of people, came to an end.
