Early the next morning

In the villa

Yu Chenghui, who had been waiting in the living room for almost a whole morning, finally saw Boss Yang just before lunch time.

I saw Boss Yang coming down from upstairs, looking a little tired and listless.

"boss"

Seeing Yang Chen appear, Yu Chenghui quickly stood up and said hello.

"It's Lao Yu, when did you come?"

"Sit down first. Don't stand. I drank too much with someone last night. I kept you waiting for a long time."

"No, I just got here."

Yu Chenghui was very discerning. Seeing that Yang Chen wanted to drink water, he quickly picked up the cup from the table, helped pour a glass of water, and handed it to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen took the cup, drank all the water in it in one gulp, quenched his thirst, and then said: "I came from San Francisco and haven't had breakfast yet. Let's have a meal together at noon today."

"Okay, boss," Yu Chenghui nodded and continued to pour water into Yang Chen's cup.

"By the way, where's Kelly?"

Yu Chenghui looked at his watch, then at the door, and said: "It should be here soon. The movie you invested in, boss, has been released in the past two days, and she has been accompanying several leading actors to promote it..."

Yang Chen: "Whether our home appliances can enter the US market in one fell swoop depends on this opportunity. Have you contacted the TV stations?"

Yu Chenghui: "We have already made contact. It will officially start on January 5th. As the first game competition, the whole process will be broadcast live. I believe it will definitely attract the attention of many gamers."

In order to make Super Mario Bros. an instant hit, Yang Chen thought about it and finally thought it would be better to hold a game competition directly in the United States.

When online games became popular in later generations, various e-sports competitions emerged in endlessly.

In order to attract enough people to participate, Yang Chen even increased the first place reward to one million US dollars.

In a capital society, what the people at the bottom value most are only interests, especially when it comes to their own interests. As long as it is profitable, everyone will actively participate.

Although Orange Technology's home consoles have sold less than half a million units in the United States, it is still very easy to select hundreds of these people to participate in the competition.

In particular, there is more than one competition event.

In this game competition, Orange Technology spent a total of 10 million US dollars as a reward for winning the competition.

Once the competition is successfully held in the United States, game competitions will be held one by one in island countries, Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other regions.

Of course, except for Europe, the bonuses in other regions will definitely not be as high as those in the United States. It mainly depends on the sales volume in each region. Regions with high sales will naturally have higher bonuses. If sales are not good, either they will not do it or they will be concentrated in large areas.

Organizing is just like Southeast Asia, where several countries and regions unite to organize game competitions.

Tread——

While the two were talking, Lan Meiren came down directly from upstairs wearing a nightgown.

"I'm so thirsty." Lan Mei, with wet hair, walked to Yang Chen and sat down, licking her lips and said.

"Give" Yang Chen poured a glass of water with his own hands, handed it to the other person's hand, and said softly: "Why do you let your hair fall down without drying it? It's easy to get sick like this, do you know?"

Lan Meiren didn't say anything. She held the water glass and drank it in small sips, regardless of whether the water from her hair dripped on her body.

"Aunt Xu, bring me a towel."

"Still thirsty?"

"press"

"Sir, towel"

"Thanks"

"Come on, don't move, I'll help you dry your hair."

The two were acting like no one was around, making Yu Chenghui, who was sitting opposite them, feel uncomfortable all over, and even felt like he was on pins and needles.

It would be a pleasure to see a beauty of Lan Meiren's level in normal times, but now Yu Chenghui kept his head down, not daring to let his eyes wander.

"Okay, you go upstairs and change some clothes first, and then come down. Someone will come to the house for dinner later."

"Oh" Lan Meiren responded, without even looking at Yu Chenghui who was standing aside, she went straight upstairs in her slippers.

After Lan Meiren went upstairs, Yang Chen asked Yu Chenghui again: "By the way, Lao Yu, how is the investigation of the matter I asked you to pay attention to?"

Yu Chenghui said: "The boss is asking about the et alien launched by Atari before?"

Yang Chen nodded and said: "Yes, what is the feedback from players?"

"It's very bad. I've watched the movie "ET" several times. The "ET" game produced by Atari can be described as shoddy. It's not an exaggeration at all.

I heard that Atari only took six weeks to complete the entire game production process. Because everyone had high expectations for Atari's game, many players bought it when it went on sale.

Because more people have bought it, the game is not fun now, so not only players are scolding Atari for cheating money, but even some American media are complaining about Atari and treating everyone as fools."

"Boss, I'm not worried about whether Atari will continue to block us. What I'm most afraid of now is that everyone will resist our games because of Atari.

There are already many media outlets reporting on the harm that games do to children, and believe that the government must completely ban games to prevent everyone from being defrauded of money by game companies."

Yang Chen waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this, the US government will not ban the game. What we need to consider now is how to use this opportunity to push Atari into the abyss so that it will never get up."

If there is one good thing about the United States, it is that as long as it is an industry that can make money, does not affect everyone's normal life, and pays taxes legally, the U.S. government will basically not ban this or that because of the opposition of the people at the bottom.

Games and computers are emerging industries, and even if the U.S. government does not support them, it will not vigorously ban them.

After all, game companies also need to pay taxes, and the tax rate is higher than that of ordinary companies.

The country needs taxes and can collect more taxes. This is what the U.S. government wants to see most, especially in high-profit industries like games. High profits mean high taxes.

With money, American soldiers can use the best weapons and equipment. With money, Americans can continue the Cold War with the Soviet Union.

"Boss, what do you mean?"

"Poach people" Yang Chen said lightly.

"Poach people?" Yu Chenghui was stunned when he heard this.

"That's right, it's just poaching people. As long as we poach all the talents from Atari, they won't be able to develop further in the future."

Games and the Internet are essentially the same. Talents who can make games will definitely be qualified for the positions required by the Internet.

The talents that previously left Atari were not only poached by other American game companies with high salaries, but also a large number of talents joined the computer industry.

For example, the famous Steve Jobs of later generations once worked at Atari.
