Chapter 103: Secret Breakup
There are many people who have similar ideas to Xue Huiyi.
Envious of this piece of cake, everyone is like a wolf, wishing to tear off a piece of meat from Feifan Island Game.
Some people also actively spoke out to persuade Feifan Island to go public.
They used the greater good to pressure Feifan Island, saying that only by going public could Feifan Island quickly expand to more places, create jobs, and obtain more resources.
Wu Zhaoxiang and Mr. Hu are also asked every day how much money can be invested and how many resources can be given to them.
The only requirement is that they put Feifan Island on the market.
If they could sell their shares, they would be willing to pay a price that would absolutely excite them.
Neither of them paid any attention to these people.
After all, Su Xiaocai had said before that the company would not go public, and they had signed a contract. One of the clauses in the contract was that shareholders must keep their shares intact and could not transfer them.
Feifandao Company is destined to be a company that lays golden eggs. It doesn’t seem to make much money, and its daily average turnover is not even as much as the industry they operate, but it is a real technology innovation company.
Mr. Hu has been laughed at for so many years just because he has a company like this, so it is impossible to sell it.
It is even more impossible for Wu Zhaoxiang. He is superstitious about his wife. His wife and daughter said that he would never sell Su Xiaocai shares in his lifetime. Of course, the original words were not like this, but the meaning was similar.
Because of superstition, he is more pious. In this life, even if he goes bankrupt and sells all his other properties, he will still guard Feifan Island.
Back to Xue Huiyi's company, she acted quickly and didn't have to run around herself. She just told her family and everyone did it for her.
During the time when she was thinking about starting a company, Su Xiaocai happened to sue the gaming group that attacked her, and the legal person and major shareholders were detained and interrogated.
Ordinary people waited and watched, while businessmen quickly came in to divide up the profits.
Xue Huiyi's people are no exception.
Her family was wealthy, so there was no need for her to start from scratch. She just told her father that she wanted to enter the gaming industry, and someone took care of everything for her and acquired the company at any cost.
Buy the company that made the most popular game ever.
Xue Huiyi gave the manager the first task without thinking, which was to replicate the Extraordinary Island Project and make sure it was launched within half a year.
This task shocked the managers, who thought it was unrealistic. For a game like that, just building the scenes, story lines, and character modeling would be enough for the entire team to work non-stop for a year.
Most importantly, what about the game engine? The game engine of Feifan Island is the most important part, and the outside world is still studying how it achieves the extremely different randomness in the game storyline.
In ordinary games, monsters can also adjust their data, increase action design, attack frequency, and random effects.
But how can the whole scene have such deviations from the story and a series of logical developments be achieved?
They all speculated that artificial intelligence was involved behind the Extraordinary Island Project game.
Where can we get artificial intelligence specifically responsible for running games?
Where is the huge database built?
The only ones who truly possess artificial intelligence are the government and the military.
Unless you develop it yourself, there is no other place to buy it.
The manager analyzed these difficulties to Xue Huiyi and suggested that instead of following the trend, she should improve in the areas where she is good at. After the company becomes profitable, she can then research more difficult game projects.
Xue Huiyi disagreed, "Why did I hire you? Of course it's because you are well regarded in the industry. If you can't do it, why would I hire you?"
"In a short period of time, we just need to make it close to the target. No matter what method we use, we must seize the market first." Xue Huiyi didn't believe that with her family's background and financial supply, she couldn't compete with Su Xiaocai.
The manager was helpless. Could it be that Feifandao Game Company was unable to seize the market? With the support of three powerful businessmen, could it really not expand?
no.
They are simply confident in their technology, and they don't want to take away the livelihood of many game companies at once.
Those who are smart and need to transform are already doing so.
They compete with others by producing counterfeit products, which are better than others' exquisite ones, but they are inferior in every way.
If you win the competition, your reputation will be ruined and players will not be able to stay.
If you lose money in an argument, it will only be a waste of money and cause trouble.
Does she think that players are like fish in water, who can be held in the water at will?
They are very smart.
Otherwise, why were the former bosses arrested? Of course, they wanted to kill Su Xiaocai in the cradle and see if they could steal her technical team.
It is a headache for managers when someone who doesn't know how to make products is asked to give instructions on product design.
If the Xue family hadn't paid him a lot of money, he would have wanted to resign.
Just as the managers thought, it is difficult for copycat products to surpass the classics.
Su Xiaocai's game has been online for almost two months.
There are indeed quite a few copycat games on the market, but the others are just small-scale ones.
One company went even further and deliberately changed its company name to Feifanniao, using specious publicity to portray Feifanniao as a subsidiary of Feifan Island.
The company is not located on the capital planet, or even in the same galaxy, so it is much more capable of misleading people.
There is a game blogger who specializes in reviewing games, and he bought the game for two thousand yuan.
He kept crying out for injustice and demanded compensation from the other party.
The copycat games only change the shell but not the core, and use exquisite CG to trick people into playing, but the game mechanics inside are no different from those of ordinary large-scale games.
How much does an ordinary large-scale game cost? At most, one thousand yuan.
Under the guise of a more exquisite masterpiece from Extraordinary Island, it successfully deceived a wave of players.
It didn't take long for this matter to become a hot topic.
Everyone who bought the Feifan Bird game was cursing.
I'm not scolding Feifan Bird, but Feifan Island. I went to the Feifan Island website and asked them if they were crazy because they were poor and produced such a crappy game.
After Yu Haiming learned about this, he immediately responded to the outside voices.
Statement: There is only one Feifan Island Game Company and there will not be a second one. We will not accept investment from other people and will not go public. The so-called subsidiary is fake. Consumers are requested to purchase with caution.
Yu Haiming could tell that Su Xiaocai’s account was directly compromised.
She seldom checked her account recently, and it was only when Chibi Maruko reminded her that she realized it.
Fans asked her to stop cooking because counterfeiting was too rampant.
Yu Haiming's statement has actually clarified the situation for Feifan Island.
The aftermath of this incident is still there. The emergence of copycat games, in the final analysis, is due to the fact that players see no hope of grabbing an account, and the developers of copycat games believe that Feifandao, a small company, is unable to take over the market.
Yu Haiming called Su Xiaocai and asked if he could give a large quantity at once to show his strength.
Currently no one from the military has come to contact her, so it would be fine for her to give the public a surprise.
Su Xiaocai told Yu Haiming that five million accounts could be opened every day this week.
Let the copycats see it.
It’s not that Feifan Island doesn’t want to take over the market, but it just doesn’t want to monopolize the market.
Don’t keep guessing that her company is not strong enough, or even criticize the quality of Feifan Island’s servers, saying that the servers will crash if there are too many players.
Even if everyone else’s server crashes, hers won’t.
Yu Haiming's trick works.
Not only did the situation turn around, but the copycat company was also left speechless with anger.
"My Caicai is so strong!"
"Copycat company, we support you in making more fake games to piss off our Cai Jie. The day when all game accounts will be fully opened is just around the corner."
"Since ancient times, true love has left only regrets. Only routines can win people's hearts. Extraordinary bird, you are great. Why didn't we think of this routine?"
"Cai Cai: If you retreat, I will pretend I didn't see it. If you don't retreat, go all out."
"Nana: Enter vengeance mode."
"Cai Cai: Daddy tolerates your mischief, but it's okay if you're naughty for a while. If you continue to be naughty, I'll kick you."
Thoughts after watching The Real Su Xiaocai: The fans follow the real Su Xiaocai. Their mouths are just like hers, they like to gossip and make people angry to death.
Five million accounts, just imagine how much money that is.
The copycat companies are in tears, they just want to make some quick money.
I don’t know whether there was compensation in the end, and the statistics have not been made, but it did anger Feifan Island.
Peers have accused Feifanniao of grabbing market share, saying it is not a big deal and is a normal business practice.
But if you copycat your work and still use the name of the original product, that's too much. Tens of millions of players have left at once, and many game companies want to destroy this copycat company.
The matter was handled quickly and Feifan Island suffered no damage.
However, the manager of Xue Huiyi's company caught this and asked Xue Huiyi not to act on her own.
Xue Huiyi was a little angry, thinking that the manager was questioning her vision and what future mini-games had.
In the future, if there are any small games that become famous, how could she not know?
She didn't rely on Feifan Island to become famous. Her own account with hundreds of billions of followers is enough to effectively monetize it.
It was just that the manager was sent by her uncle to help her manage the company, so she couldn't fire him easily. So she said, "If you don't want to copy it, then find a way to make another large-scale game. I want a game that can compete with Feifan Island."
The manager hung up the call with a sad face. This young lady is difficult to deal with!
With this kind of paranoid spirit, it would be difficult to defeat Su Xiaocai.
How was he assigned to her? He thought he was participating in the future successor training program, but who knew that the successor was short-sighted and was targeting a potential stock for fun.
It was too difficult. He had to check what date was a good time to resign. Would Feifandao still hire managers? He could go on a business trip, to a faraway place.
……
As the banquet date drew closer, Xue Huiyi became anxious like an ant on hot pan, and was absent-minded every day.
The teacher was also concerned about her mental state, saying that her recent designs had too many loopholes, and asked if she had trouble sleeping, was feeling uncomfortable, or had some emotional problems.
The teacher also read the gossip on the forum and knew that there was a rift in the relationship between Xue Huiyi and Ji Heng. Young people tend to fall in love easily, and he understood that, so he asked her to adjust her state of mind quickly.
Xue Huiyi just perfunctorily replied that she was not feeling well, as she did not want others to know about her embarrassing situation before the cancellation of her engagement.
Finally, on the day before the banquet, Xue Huiyi got the vintage bracelet.
Of course she knew that Ji Li had a sense of the overall situation and would most likely not expose her crimes at the banquet, but there was no guarantee that Ji Li would be too committed to his promise and choose to make trouble at the banquet.
She couldn't afford the gamble.
All the people of the same age were very afraid of this Mr. Ji, just like a mouse seeing a cat.
Some undisciplined playboys are like good kids in front of him.
This is because Young Master Ji would go crazy and openly plot against people, making it impossible for people to speak out their grievances and lose their temper at all.
Over time, his peers avoided him.
Xue Huiyi absolutely could not give him the chance to go crazy, so she took two days off and went home to pack her things.
She kept stuffing the things she had sorted out into the suitcase in the room.
The wooden cloakroom was filled with all kinds of jewelry. Xue Huiyi was reluctant to take out a few boxes of jewelry. These were all gifts from Xue's mother, with a total value of tens of millions, not to mention some shares in small companies.
Xue's mother was thin and pale, and looked unwell.
She saw that Xue Huiyi was reluctant and tried to persuade her: "Huihui, are you and Ji Heng really breaking up? You were fine before. If it was just a quarrel, you can calm down first. After you calm down, you may not have this idea anymore."
"We had a good relationship before..." Xue Huiyi couldn't tell Xue's mother that it was Su Xiaocai who instigated her to do so. She didn't want Xue's mother to pay attention to this person at all.
She was very afraid that Xue's mother would develop a liking for Su Xiaocai, and she was afraid of losing the warm maternal love.
"Mom, I've thought about it carefully. He and I are not suitable. Ji Heng is a good man, but he is too straight. He only focuses on his training and doesn't love me. You should be able to feel that he doesn't like me after so many years. So I think very clearly. I like people who tolerate me, love me, and can spoil me like my third uncle."
Xue's mother approached Xue Huiyi, patted her head lovingly, and helped her tuck the messy hair behind her ears: "As long as you think it through, I will support you. I will talk to your father about your cancellation of the engagement."
The person who wanted to be engaged to Ji Heng was Xue Huiyi, but she was also the one who wanted to cancel the engagement after a few years.
That's too childish. If Xue Huiyi says that, Xue Feiting will definitely be furious.
At that time, Xue Feiting proposed to Xue Huiyi that they should get along with each other for a few years before getting engaged.
At the beginning, there were several marriage candidates, all of whom were stable and tolerant.
In order to bring Xue Huiyi and Ji Heng together, Xue Feiting did a lot of things and also gave up some of his interests.
He holds others to the same standard as he holds himself to be, and is strict with himself and Xue Huiyi as well.
Speaking of Xue Feiting, Xue Huiyi was a little scared. She hugged Xue's mother and said, "Mom, thank you for supporting me. It's me who is too willful and makes you worry."
"Your happiness is more important than anything else." Xue's mother patted her back gently. "Go ahead. The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back. If you want to cancel the engagement, do it straightforwardly. Do it first and ask for permission later. Your father won't beat you."
Xue Huiyi drew enough courage from Xue's mother and went to Ji's house.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Ji's father and mother were both at home.
Ji's mother was arranging flowers, and the flowers were blooming brightly and beautifully.
However, the branches and leaves were cut into shabby pieces by Ji's mother and placed in a vase in a scattered manner.
"Huihui, why are you here so late? Come and help me see if this flower is beautiful."
Xue Huiyi took a look at the flowers and thought they were ugly, but she complimented them by saying, "They are very artistic."
"Thank you, I think it looks good too."
Xue Huiyi: This may be the advantage of breaking off the engagement. I don’t have to praise Ji’s mother’s aesthetic taste.
This time, Ji's mother noticed that Xue Huiyi was carrying a suitcase and was very surprised.
"Huihui, did you have a fight with your family?" Ji's mother thought she was going to come and stay for a while.
That’s not right. Military training is during school hours, and children should not leave school often.
Xue Huiyi took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Ji, for coming here so late. I have something I want to formally tell you. I'm here to break off the engagement. I don't know if Ji Heng has told you that I broke up with him, completely."
Father Ji raised his head from behind the news screen and wanted to say something, but Mother Ji put her hand on his head.
As Ji's mother was still holding the scissors in her hand, Ji's father, who was afraid of killing his husband to prove his guilt, retreated obediently and did not dare to say a word.
"Huihui, please tell me the reason for the breakup." Ji's mother was a person with a light temperament, but she was strong and sensitive inside. She had a very high status in the family, so she was used to speaking in a proud tone.
She calmly gestured to Xue Huiyi to sit down and talk.
The nanny tactfully handed over the water and walked out of the hall.
"Don't be afraid Huihui. Tell me, did my child let you down?"
Xue Huiyi sat down and held the water cup, "No, Auntie, I felt his alienation when I was on Planet 022."
Ji's mother did not follow Xue Huiyi's intention to condemn her son. She patiently asked more questions: "Why did he distance himself from you? Did he fall in love with other girls? Or is there someone who alienated you two?"
Xue Huiyi didn't dare to say anything in front of Xue's mother, but she didn't have such scruples in front of Ji's mother. She chose her words carefully: "No, he didn't say he liked that girl. He just admitted that he was closer to that girl."
Ji's mother was confused, "Who is that girl?"
"Yes... Auntie, why don't you ask Ji Heng yourself? It seems like I'm complaining if I say this here."
The only voices in the hall were two women's voices, one asking questions and the other sobbing.
Ji's father was like a statue, unable to move or speak, for fear of ruining the atmosphere.
Xue Huiyi sobbed softly, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I feel that this relationship can't continue, so I chose to break up. Will you blame me?"
"Don't be impatient. First tell me which girl it was and how the breakup process went. You can just break up if you want. I don't agree with that."
This was exactly what Xue Huiyi wanted, so she pretended to be hesitant.
Mother Ji looked at her pleadingly, "Don't be afraid, tell me what you have to say, and I will definitely seek justice for you."
"No need to ask for justice. We have already broken up. I just didn't tell you because my conscience couldn't let me go."
Xue Huiyi said: "It's a girl named Su Xiaocai. She was in the same team with Ji Heng when they were on the 022 Mechanical Planet. Maybe they got along with each other every day. Su Xiaocai is a very powerful person. She is the founder of the Feifan Island game that has been all the rage on the Internet recently..."
Before he finished speaking, Father Ji poked his head in again and interrupted the spell: "Really? My son knows her?"
Ji's mother did not see the guests invited by her eldest son, so she did not know that Su Xiaocai would also appear at tomorrow's banquet.
Ji's mother glared at him fiercely.
Father Ji got scared and went back to being “invisible”.
Xue Huiyi continued: "Yes, they know each other. Maybe they admire each other, and Ji Heng trusts her more."
Ji's mother looked gloomy: "Is Ji Heng often with her in school?"
Xue Huiyi waved her hands, "No, she often plays with big brother."
"What?" Ji's mother raised her voice, "Ji Li played with her?"
"Yes, after leaving the 022 Mechanical Planet, she still often looked for Ji Li. On the day when the accident happened at the last exhibition, she was the one who took Ji Li shopping there. Didn't Big Brother tell you?"
"No." Ji's mother squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, and it was obvious how bad her mood was.
Father Ji felt like the cushion under his butt had grown thorns for no apparent reason and wanted to move to another place to sit.
