MTL - After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration]-Chapter 86
Ke Ming frowned when he heard that, "What does it look like in a panic? What happened?"
"The technical department called to say, say, there is a problem with the server again!" The secretary quickly took a breath, and handed the phone that was still on the call to Ke Ming, "It's the phone number of Team Leader Zheng."
Ke Ming snatched the phone, and said in an unhappy tone, "Tell me clearly! What's going on!"
The technical team leader on the other end of the phone bit the bullet and explained, "Mr. Ke, listen to me, we just received the news—"
"The a4 and a5 sets of cabinets in the old computer room have malfunctioned again. According to past experience, it is conservatively estimated that it will take nearly an hour to repair."
"If it weren't for the opening of the krypton gold channel, that's why I was in a hurry to call you to report."
The two sets of cabinet servers in the old computer room retain the most basic login data and basic information of users. It is conservatively estimated that nearly a million groups of users cannot log in to the app interface of "Destroy the Alien Beast" within a short period of time.
Ke Ming gritted his teeth, "Why don't you move such important data to a new cabinet! Your technical team doesn't know that the old machine server often has problems, so you dare to make such a low-level mistake for me!"
Group leader Zheng kept complaining, "Ke, Mr. Ke, you can't blame us for this."
Once the servers in the new computer room were put into use, they were all used for game creation and core operations.
Originally, three sets of new units will be launched in the future, just to back up the basic user data of "Destroy the Alien Beast"—
But before the equipment was in place, Ke Ming announced the public beta launch in advance!
It's not that Group Leader Zheng didn't object to the proposal at first, but what's the use of that? Who can beat the boss?
Helpless, he can only think about the good, praying that their old server will be strong enough, and wait until "Kill the Alien Beast" is stable before transferring the data to the new machine.
It's a pity that I'm afraid of something!
The game went on strike less than four days after it was launched, and it was still stuck before the full release of new props in "Kill the Alien" to stimulate players to make money.
Naturally, Ke Ming would not admit his mistake. He pressed his temples that were thumping, "If you can't solve this problem within an hour, you can directly send your resignation letter to my mailbox tonight!"
After speaking, he hung up the phone abruptly.
Ke Ming threw the phone back into the assistant's hand, gritted his teeth and made a concession, "Notice immediately, the event time will be changed from six o'clock to seven o'clock, and all game items will be discounted by 10% off the original price of game coins."
It doesn’t matter if you make money later or less, the key point is to stabilize the enthusiasm of game users to participate.
He must win this tough battle to seize the market!
Knock knock.
The knocking sounded again.
The group leader in charge of online promotion walked in, "Mr. Ke, it's not good!"
The exact same opening sentence pattern made Ke Ming's temples twitch even more.
"What do I want you for? Apart from saying this, what else can you do?"
The head of the online publicity team didn't expect to be criticized all over the place, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
Still the secretary rounded up the field, "What's wrong?"
The leader of the online publicity team handed the tablet he brought to Ke Ming's desk, and his tone became much lighter, "The boss of Mufeng Games just posted a long Weibo, and Aite announced the results of our studio and the original game design competition." Official Weibo."
"Publicly questioned that the organizers of this competition have shady scenes and gave us a back door to the game."
"..."
Ke Ming's face tightened, and he quickly picked up the tablet to check the news, "Why did you suddenly suspect us?"
Deng Mufeng's questioning Weibo is very long, and the main content can be summarized as-
He has a friend outside the circle who is responsible for the exposure of advertising channels. About a month ago, he was invited by the organizer to cooperate.
During the negotiation and matchmaking, the person in charge of the organizer singled out "Obliteration of Alien Beast" as an example of the follow-up game's award-winning game, and also specifically named the other party as a project valued by the game giant "Xunya Technology", and it was sure to make a profit.
It was the first time for that friend to participate in an investment invitation for this type of game, and he didn't think it was strange at first, until he saw Deng Mufeng's speech on the Internet three or four days ago——
That friend realized it was tricky only after knowing it!
At that time, before the results of the awards came out, the organizers started looking for exposure channels for "Destroy the Alien Beast"? Doesn't this make it clear that capital is pre-determined?
After thinking about it, my friend told Deng Mufeng about it.
Deng Mufeng, who was the game's general strategy of "Linglong Struggle", chose to leave alone because he couldn't stand the manipulation of capital.
He didn't expect that the first game he restarted encountered this kind of capital manipulation again?
Deng Mufeng has real talents and learning, and he also has arrogance in dealing with people.
He is very confident of winning the award for his "The View of the Sea". After losing the election, he was negative and questioned, but because of the lack of evidence, he refrained from publishing it.
But now, the truth is coming out.
The shady game that really has the possibility of going through the back door is "Obliteration of Alien Beasts", not the same type of "End Mist"!
Deng Mufeng dared to act boldly. He not only questioned the cicada studio and the competition officials in his long Weibo, but also sincerely apologized to "The Last Mist" and ywy studio—
I said that my preconceived ideas caused a bad influence, and I failed to explain it at the first time. I hope that all game fans and the majority of netizens can discern themselves clearly.
"Don't let the clean get dark, don't let the dirty steal the light."
Deng Mufeng's writing is very good, and the whole speech is very provocative. It has only been ten minutes since Weibo was posted, and the comments below have already been occupied by support and foreign criticism——
"Damn it! Did you really go through the back door? How shameless is the Chanming studio!"
"I said, why bother with the competition officials? The reputation of the previous seven sessions has been ruined! Will there be gold in the future?"
"Support Teacher Deng! "Cang Hai Guan" mobile game with conscience and national style!"
"Speechless! Am I the only one who can't log in to "Destroy the Alien Beast"? I wanted to go to the Weibo Square to search for related news, but I saw Mr. Deng's post. I was disgusted."
"If you can't log in, add me! Why does this kind of inferior mobile game that can even crash the basic login win the award? The garbage contest official fell into the eyes of money, right?"
"Found it! The owner of Chanming Studio is Ke Ming! This is a bug that hides in the gutter and picks up people to **** blood! Get out of the Huaguo game circle!"
…
More and more discussions gathered, and there was also a boycott of "Killing the Alien Beast" and a personal attack on Ke Ming himself!
These curses came from all directions, forming a resounding slap, and slapped Ke Ming **** the face.
Seeing the boss's face getting worse and worse, the head of the online publicity group became more cautious, "Mr. Ke, do you want me to contact Mufeng Game and Deng Mufeng to withdraw the post? Or use the navy to turn the public opinion back?"
"..."
The original krypton gold plan for props was forced to be postponed, and now such unfavorable remarks are made at this juncture?
Ke Ming leaned back on the office chair, always feeling that all kinds of bad things just started. He picked up the half bottle of red wine left on the table, and took two sips to calm himself down.
"No, you can't find Deng Mufeng in private."
Deng Mufeng is obviously a person who is obsessed with fairness and truth. At this juncture, asking him to negotiate conditions to withdraw the post is undoubtedly passing the blame to the other party.
"Then invite the Internet troopers?" The secretary who was next to him repeated his suggestion, "Now just a few chat screenshots and a long paragraph of Weibo text can't be regarded as a real hammer."
When the online publicity staff heard this, a trace of indifference flashed across their hearts.
Although this idea was brought up by her just now, it is obviously futile in this situation.
Deng Mufeng's Weibo post has fermented so quickly since it was posted, there must be a troll behind it stirring up public opinion, and it's all aimed at their Cicada Studio and "Destroy the Alien Beast".
If the studio follows suit with the public opinion of the navy and speaks well for "itself", it may be picked up by the enthusiastic game netizens who will pick up more clues and arouse greater controversy.
Ke Ming's mind is still clear, knowing that using the navy to spend on this wave of public opinion is just a waste of money and useless.
He rubbed the bottle and squeezed out countermeasures as much as possible, "Listen, an announcement was made on the official website, official Weibo, and in-game—saying that our server has been maliciously attacked."
The secretary was taken aback when he heard this casually edited words, "Evil, malicious attack?"
"That's right! It's a malicious attack, that's why there is a login bug!" Ke Ming seemed to think of a way to kill two birds with one stone, and suddenly regained his energy, "Except for the problem of the server, I will never admit it when I go through the back door! "
Not only does it not admit it, but it also explicitly and secretly attributes this wave of public opinion to malicious competition and manipulation by its peers.
The secretary and the online publicity staff looked at each other, and they both understood the real situation of their own studio.
Although it is said that in order to work and earn money, they have to obey the boss, but they still have a little repulsion in their hearts.
"Mr. Ke, are you sure it's okay for us to clarify this? Will the competition organizers come forward to explain this matter under pressure?"
"Are you the boss or am I the boss?"
Ke Ming stared at him coldly, "I told you, you just do it! Go out and do something!"
The behind-the-scenes investor of this competition is Xunya Technology, which is the upper owner of Nanchan Games. How could the organizer admit its fault and offend the big game company because of netizens' doubts?
What's more, if the incident of "going through the back door" is admitted, then the competition will lose its credibility, and will it be able to continue in the future? Can you get gold?
Ke Ming confirmed the answer, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and re-dialed the number of his partner You Chang.
On the surface, he has established a relationship with Xunya Technology through Nanchan Games, and has a big factory as a backer, but in fact, since the cooperation, You Chang has been responsible for communicating with the high-level executives of the big factory.
In order to avoid complications at critical moments, he had to communicate with You Chang about external matters.
…
& In the studio, there was still a faint sweetness in the air.
Pei Yi took out the last two egg tarts, one for one, "Liyuan, here."
Li Yu'an glanced at Yan Cen, and before he could pretend to be serious, his friend directly stuffed the egg **** into his hand.
"Eat! What are you doing in a daze?"
As he spoke, he took a half bite of the egg **** on his own.
Bo Yueming took out a wet towel and wiped his lover's hands in front of him, "How can you have a stomach after eating, and a stomach after eating desserts."
Yan Cen's eyes were still fixed on Li Yu'an, and he asked, "Didn't you say you have business to do tonight? Why are you all so relaxed?"
Originally, they wanted to have a dinner together on Friday night, but Pei Yi and Li Yu'an both said that they had business to do tonight and had to stay in the office and work overtime.
Bo Yueming and Yan Cen were afraid that these two career-minded people would forget to eat, so they could only come to the door with something to eat.
Li Yu'an sucked in a mouthful of egg tarts, and signaled Pei Yi with his eyes, "Where is the commander-in-chief?"
Pei Yi glanced at the time, and finally switched back to the whole, "Lin Zhong, how is the situation now?"
"Xiao Mister, don't worry, after Deng Mufeng published a long Weibo, the senior sailors we arranged in advance have already infiltrated ordinary netizens to guide public opinion, and simultaneously infiltrated the news into all major social forums such as Youtu. "
Ke Ming guessed right, there was indeed someone deducing Deng Mufeng's incident——
Except for Pei Yi, who used the same naval tactics to fight back, the leader on the other side was actually the senior management of Weiyi headquarters.
Ever since they learned that "Killing the Alien Beast" was going to be released in advance, Pei Yi and Li Yu'an not only contacted Deng Mufeng, but also contacted Gu Jianshen who was far away in Haishi, asking the other party to help them match up.
Weiyi and Xunya Technology have been fighting tit-for-tat for so long, and even the subordinate subsidiaries have followed suit fiercely.
Now that there is an opportunity to embarrass the opponent, how can Weiyi's senior management let it go?
The reason why Deng Mufeng and his friends were willing to stand up and question, apart from wanting to be fair and vent their anger, was that they also reached a game and business-related cooperation with Weiyi.
Lin Zhong continued, "By the way, I just confirmed the latest news."
Li Yu'an asked, "What?"
"The server of "Obliteration of Alien Beasts" has a problem. Many game players say that they can't log in, and some players who have logged in and online have responded—"
"There is a bug in the dungeon in the game. The npc in the dungeon can resurrect itself after losing all of its health bars."
Lin Zhong listed several complaints that were picked from the official website.
Pei Yi snorted and shook his head, "The reason why the game has to go through one, two or even three rounds of internal testing is that one of the most important purposes is to fix some small loopholes in programming."
Ke Ming was eager for quick success this time, ignoring the importance of internal testing.
These seem to be inconspicuous little problems, but if they add up, they will dampen the enthusiasm of gamers, which is fatal for a newly manufactured mobile game.
Pei Yi looked at her friend, "Liyuan, do you remember what I told you in Haishi before?"
Li Yu'an replied tacitly, "I remember."
How can Ke Ming lose everything?
Naturally, I paid all the money for the game, but suddenly broke the funding channel when it was about to be recovered—
That's why they discussed with Deng Mufeng and others to fight back today when "Killing the Alien Beast" launched a krypton gold channel.
Originally, judging from the time difference in the fermentation of the matter, "Destroy the Alien Beast" could still recover a lot of money, but I didn't expect that so many players could not log in when the juncture was approaching?
In all likelihood, there is a problem with the server.
It seems that even God has chosen to stand on their side.
"Liyuan, go downstairs and let the Internet Propaganda Department watch over you. You will be paid double for the overtime hours you work today."
Pei Yi's brain was running fast, "I guess with Ke Ming's temper, he still has to pour this wave of 'unable to log in' dirty water on us."
"Ok, I know."
Pei Yi, who had finished explaining to his friend, remembered something again, and looked at his off-site support, "Second brother, what I told you last time, you..."
Bo Yueming squeezed his fingertips, "Don't worry, Director You will speak for me."
Pei Yi chuckled, "That's good, I'll make another phone call with Gu Jianshen."
Their first round of traps has already been set, and once Ke Ming issued a clarification statement, the next wave of real blows will follow!
"Liyuan, let's go, go downstairs."
"good."
Pei Yi and Li Yu'an looked at each other, and there was a long-suppressed excitement in their hearts that could be slapped in the face. They left their lover directly and left as soon as they said it.
The door to the office was closed impolitely.
Yan Cen and Bo Yueming, who were left behind, looked at each other in blank dismay. They, who were always busy, felt a kind of boredom of "having nothing to do" simultaneously at this moment.
"Bo Dong, you look very idle."
"Each each other."
…
As night fell again, in the brightly lit office building, the staff members of the cicada publicity team all looked sad and complained.
Ever since Ke Ming announced the early release, the Internet Propaganda Department has been caught off guard, working overtime almost every day until midnight, still without subsidies.
This finally lasted until Friday. I originally thought that I would be happy to get off work and go home to rest at six o'clock, but I didn't expect a sudden bad news, and I had to work overtime to write a statement to catch the notice.
"I really want to quit my job!"
"I also think, this day, there will be no rest, and no wages will be paid for overtime work."
"Stop talking! Mr. Ke is here!"
In just three seconds, Ke Ming walked in with an angry face, "Is the announcement written yet? What kind of work efficiency are you guys doing!"
The head of the online publicity team suppressed his dissatisfaction and responded, "Mr. Ke, it has been written and is about to send it to you for review."
Ke Ming approached, "Here, I'll take a look."
"OK."
The head of the online publicity team handed over the tablet text, and the announcement was written fairly concisely—
First, I wrote that the server was maliciously attacked and malfunctioned, and it is expected to be repaired before 7 o'clock, and it also comes with the bonus of krypton gold for tonight's "Destroy the Alien Beast".
Secondly, it justly stated that the production and operation team of "Destroy the Alien Beast" absolutely did not have any violations or behaviors that touched the bottom line of morality!
They believe that strength is the foundation of speaking, and originality is the confidence to walk, and they have been contributing their own strength to the future of Huaguo game circle.
The leader of the online publicity team looked at this "false" statement, and asked uncertainly, "Mr. Ke, should we discuss it with Nanchan Games again?"
After all, the game "Destroying Alien Beasts" was produced by their studio, but it was announced that it was jointly produced with Nanchan Games.
Ke Ming glanced roughly, "It's too late! Just send it like this!"
After he ended the video call, he couldn't get in touch with You Chang, and the call he made was still in the middle of the call, and then he turned off the phone directly.
How could he find someone to discuss with this?
Since You Chang asked him to pay more attention to the game before the end of the video call, he still has the right to decide whether to make a statement that is beneficial but harmless.
"In addition to Weibo, other social media accounts must keep up with it. Also, whether the trolls under this statement should buy it or have to buy it, remember to keep up with the popularity!"
Black and red are also red!
As long as the competition officials don't come forward to explain the truth, as long as Nanchan Games and Xunya Technology can still be his backers, then after this turmoil, their "Destroy the Alien Beast" can still be played!
Hearing Ke Ming's order, the leader of the online publicity team could only suppress the doubts in his heart and follow through.
Five minutes later, this statement for the entire platform was sent out simultaneously, and the navy team that had been negotiated temporarily also quickly took the deposit to do the work.
Time passed minute by minute.
Ke Ming sat in front of the computer screen, holding the mobile phone tightly, dialing the number of Youchang and Nanchan Game Operations again and again, but no one answered for a long time.
The uneasiness in his heart didn't decrease because of the statement, on the contrary, he felt a strong sense of crisis that was about to come.
— sizzle.
The phone's message vibration suddenly rang.
Ke Ming couldn't wait to pick up his mobile phone to have a look, only to find that the avatar of the WeChat message was a bit unexpected.
It was Xiang Nansheng, a former friend and partner.
Ke Ming took a deep breath and clicked on the WeChat content.
——Ke Ming, we always want me to tell you that the big gift you gave him has been received, and the gift is reciprocal. He also has a gift in return for you to look at.
—[Weibo link]
—In addition, I attach a personal sentence: I am glad that I saw you through and left the studio. If you have misbehavior, you must be in a cocoon, so you can do it yourself!
"..."
Ke Ming looked at the content of these three WeChat messages, gritted his teeth and opened the other party's link!
Three minutes ago, a well-known science blogger with more than five million fans in the game circle published a long piece of news!
—Back to life by plagiarism, and now relying on the back door to win prizes, Nanchan Game, a huge mouse **** in the Huaguo game circle!
Just looking at the title of Weibo, I can feel the surging anger.
Ke Ming clicked on the long content with rich pictures and texts, and browsed through it wholeheartedly. The blogger summed up the plagiarism in the stand-alone mini-games produced by Nanchan Games in the past three years.
Eight games, big and small, were involved, and three of them became popular stand-alone games after overwhelming marketing!
The total cumulative number of players is as high as 600 million, and the income obtained through advertising and other conservative estimates exceeds 250 million!
With such a huge profit, the production fee and publicity fee of Nanchan game are only a few million, and the copyright fee is not spent at all!
The creator of the original game worked hard, but made a wedding dress for the shameless thief, and even had nowhere to complain because Nanchan was backed by a big company and because he was far away overseas!
Especially in the past two years, Nanchan games have made a lot of money. After encountering doubts, they either directly play the game and take it off the shelves, or deny it to death and wait for the storm to end!
The boss behind this scene is so thick-skinned that he can paste the city wall!
You know, many people have been honest for a year, and they may only save tens of thousands of savings.
In the face of data that directly represents money, not only gamers, but even ordinary netizens have become more angry—
"Damn it! I admit I'm jealous!"
"Long memory, my family! Support genuine games! Don't encourage the arrogance of this **** company!"
"Science popularization, Nanchan Games, one of the subsidiaries of Xunya Technology, recently released the first mobile game "Killing the Alien Beast", which is the studio of Cicada that just issued a statement not long ago. The two companies are shareholders and cooperation Relationship."
"I vomit, these are all plagiarism veterans, will there be plagiarism in the new mobile games?"
"Don't doubt it, there must be, but it hasn't been revealed yet, and the dog will definitely not be able to change eating shit!"
"Strength is the foundation of speaking, and originality is the confidence to walk? Nanchan Games, Chanming Studio, I will ask you whether this statement is a slap in the face!"
"Let's unite and go to the relevant departments to complain! This kind of game and producer should not exist!"
…
Ke Ming looked at this comment full of anger, and felt a burning pain in his face. The aggrieved anger in his heart was like a headless fly, flying around and finding no way out!
Deliberately getting stuck before their studio opened the krypton gold channel, Deng Mufeng's doubts and the joint navy attracted the attention of netizens, forcing them to come forward to make a statement to clarify.
This statement happened to become a trap for them to trap themselves in.
Nanchan Games and Chanming Studio, since they are a cooperative relationship, how can netizens distinguish them so clearly?
Using the former's past plagiarism to stir up anger on the Internet, and successfully aroused everyone's rejection of "Destroy the Alien Beast".
This step by step chess piece, the timing is just right!
Pei Yi?
It must be Pei Yi!
The eyes under Pei Yi's peaked cap reappeared in Ke Ming's mind, and finally realized that he had underestimated this character!
But I thought the other party was a kitten in the greenhouse, and with the identity of will, maybe he was just spending money to have fun.
But now it turns out that the other party has both strength and ambition, and wants to put him and Chanming studio to death!
An annoying vibration came from the phone in his hand, which made Ke Ming's hands tremble inexplicably.
He saw the name on the caller ID, and Yu Huo, who had nowhere to vent, rushed to his lips, "Hello! You Chang!"
"Let me ask you, what happened to the news about Nanchan's game on the Internet? Do you know that it may affect me..."
Before the preemptive questioning could be finished, the other party responded with more intense anger, "Ke Ming! Don't show off here! Let me ask you! When did you offend the Bo Group!"
Ke Ming was taken aback, "What?"
You Chang cursed again, "I'm going to be **** killed by you!"
He is from Wencheng. In order to avoid becoming a victim in the family power dispute, he wanted to stay away from family disputes and establish his own family.
As for the cousin You Qinian who now controls the family power, he even hides far away, not daring to provoke him.
Not long ago, You Chang suddenly received a strange and frightening phone call—
Before he knew it, Ke Ming had already offended the Bo Group, and the current chairman of the Bo Group had a cooperative relationship with You Qinian.
This seemingly simple sentence is indeed threatening to You Chang's ears.
No matter how hard he has been in the past two years, no matter how much money he has made, but compared to You Qinian, it is like an ant meeting an elephant!
"Let me tell you, the cooperation between our two companies will end immediately! I will find someone to terminate the contract with your studio in two days!"
He didn't want to lose himself because of Ke Ming who caused trouble!
The phone was hung up suddenly.
Ke Ming sat there blankly, his face turned blue and pale by turns, he couldn't understand You Chang's inexplicable change of attitude at all.
Now the Internet has turned upside down, and because of Nanchan's past plagiarism, their studio has been infamy, this situation is still chaotic!
Now when you get a phone call, you say you want to end the cooperation? When this is kid's play house?
The money that You Chang and Nanchan invested in "Killing the Alien Beast" can choose not to have money, and they can even choose to hide under the scolding like those in the past!
Then who will consider the crisis he will face?
In order to release "Kill the Alien Beast" and to have more voice, Ke Ming took the initiative to invest nearly 30 million in the early stage.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is all the wealth accumulated by him and the studio over the years!
Ke Ming's eyes were tearing apart, and his whole body was occupied by panic that he had never experienced before—
If "Killing the Alien Beast" was really trapped in this public opinion, wouldn't he lose everything? !
