Chapter 2: Serious Business Intelligence Collection

At 7 o'clock the next morning, Chen She woke up on time.

Although I seemed to have a nightmare last night, the overall quality of my sleep was pretty good, and I quickly forgot about the content of my dream.

The original owner must be a physically strong and quite self-disciplined person, with a very regular biological clock.

Chen She appreciated this very much.

He could feel that his memory was gradually recovering and his physical condition was improving rapidly, which was obviously a good sign.

As the president, Chen She has someone responsible for arranging three meals a day.

After breakfast, Chen She sat at the large silver-gray desk in the president's office. He used the holographic projection equipment on the desk and took every moment to check the company's internal information, hoping to learn more information.

Not long after, Zhao Zhen arrived on time.

Chen She got up and went with Zhao Zhen to the Chaomeng R&D Department to save "Desperate Battle".

…

The Chaomeng R&D Department is located on the upper floors of the headquarters building. This location is enough to show that the Chen Group attaches great importance to this business.

Although Chaomeng R&D and basic foundry are the two pillar industries of the Chen Group, it is obvious that there is a difference between closeness and distance.

Mewtwo can be seen as an advanced VR game with connected consciousness and a fidelity of almost 90%. Players will have a sense of time travel when playing and can completely immerse their consciousness into the virtual world of Mewtwo architecture. in the world.

Therefore, the full name of Mewtwo is supersensory dream, which means that it is not only an extremely real dream, but also sometimes can obtain special feelings beyond conventional senses.

Chen She had already briefly searched the Internet for relevant background information about Chaomeng, and understood why the Chen Consortium attached so much importance to the Chaomeng industry.

The reason is simple: in this world, Mewtwo is at the top of the entertainment industry, completely replacing games, movies, videos and other industries.

The entertainment industry is similar to industries such as finance, high-end arms manufacturing, biogenetics, network technology, and high-precision digital technology. They are all top industries!

The emerging consortium Changye Entertainment Group has relied on the Mewtwo Industry to rise and become one of the top consortiums in the entire old land.

As for why the Mewtwo industry is so important, the chief Mewtwo producer of Changye Entertainment Group once said a very famous saying.

"Mewtwo is humanity's last spiritual haven."

Of course, this is a relatively elegant way of saying it, but there is also a simpler, rougher, and more direct way of saying it: Mewtwo is the sickle that cuts off the last crop of leeks!

For those poor people and even homeless people who have nothing, their lives have lost their goals and the meaning of struggle. Everything has become an illusion.

In this case, Mewtwo is the only entertainment they can enjoy, and it is also the last bit of warmth and happiness they can get in this world before they die.

In other words, Mewtwo is the only industry that can earn the last copper in the pockets of the poor.

The other is the military industry.

Even if he is a penniless poor person, Mewtwo can still find ways to earn other things from him, such as attention.

What's more, a highly realistic virtual reality game like Chaomeng is also helpful for the simulation training of the corporate army.

It is precisely because Mewtwo has such a huge influence that the top chaebols in the old land are so eager to enter the emerging Mewtwo industry and want a piece of the pie.

The Chen Consortium also chose Chaomeng as its starting point.

Arriving at the Chaomeng R&D Department, Chen She instantly felt the warmth of home.

All of this is so similar to the R&D department of the game company in his previous life!

Although the technological level of this world is higher, the form of computers has changed, and there are special editors for developing Mewtwo, the overall working environment and process are actually similar.

This familiar feeling made him feel an inexplicable sense of security as he sought stability.

Zhao Zhen said: "Mr. Chen, would you like to experience this Mewtwo more and then consider modifying it?"

Chen She shook his head: "No need, I have experienced it many times."

"You first make some simple modifications as I requested and see how the data changes."

"If the effect is not obvious, then arrange subsequent modifications."

"First, add breathing and blood recovery properties to the characters in Mewtwo, which will greatly enhance the defensive capabilities of protective suits and helmets."

"Second, enlarge the determination range of the enemy target's size, especially the head."

"Third, the price of the original in-app purchases has been cut in half, and the two new guns are available as paid guns. The colors are as cool as possible, and the performance is significantly improved compared to the existing guns."

Zhao Zhen didn't ask any more questions and directed the employees in the R&D department to make modifications according to Chen She's requirements.

Yesterday afternoon and evening, Chen She had already used his expertise as a game test team leader and ran through the entire Mewtwo many times.

Therefore, the amendments he proposed were naturally well thought out and his words were very firm.

In Chen She's view, the biggest problem with this Mewtwo is four words: "Kneel before reality"!

The gameplay of "Desperate War" is relatively simple. Players only need to play a soldier and defeat endless enemies from all directions on the desolate snowfield battlefield.

The environment of Mewtwo is extremely real. During the game, players can even feel the texture and weight of the firearm in their hands through the gloves of the combat uniform.

The sounds of explosions and aircraft roaring around are far more realistic than Dolby Atmos.

Even some close-range explosions can make people's ears ring and their hearts pound.

But the problem is also that it is too real: Chen She played the game many times, and every time he was shot in the head by a bullet flying from nowhere before he saw the enemy.

Although all Mewtwos have comprehensively weakened players' pain and other negative emotions, this kind of "die when exposed" situation still has no gaming experience.

In terms of the current difficulty of the game, I am afraid that only the special forces who have experienced hundreds of battles can survive.

Chen She doubted whether the numerical balance of this game was achieved with his feet.

The changes made by Chen She all point to this crux: to appropriately weaken the authenticity of "Desperate War", increase the gameplay and fun, and at the same time stimulate players' desire to consume.

As long as these changes can be completed smoothly, Chen She feels that this Mewtwo can turn around.

Of course, considering that the gameplay is relatively simple, it may not be particularly popular or have great stamina, but it doesn't matter. Making a small fortune shouldn't be a big problem.

What's more, new versions and online gameplay can be developed in the future. As long as we get through the current difficulties, it will always get better and better in the future.

Employees in the R&D department carefully modified Mewtwo.

These changes are not complicated and can be completed quickly. However, even if it is completed, just one or two hours will not be enough to see the changes. Even if you want to use the data changes in the same period to estimate the revenue trend, you will have to wait patiently for at least a few hours.

Zhao Zhen said: "Mr. Chen, there is one more thing I would like to ask you to come up with."

"This morning, Yuki Todo, the senior executive of Todo Group's Liming City branch, sent a communication request. He wanted to visit our headquarters to discuss the recent business issues of the two companies."

Chen She was stunned for a moment: "Tengtang Group? Hasn't Zhang Sirui already gone to negotiate with them?"

Zhao Zhen paused for a moment and seemed to consider the wording: "There is a lot of preparation work before the 'negotiation', and it should not be completed yet."

"Furthermore, the Todo Group is not monolithic. Different business leaders have different attitudes. The opinions of Todo Yuki and the top management of the Todo Group are not completely consistent."

"This time he may be here to ease the conflict, or he may be here to spy on information."

"If not, the act itself is sending a message."

"It's up to you to decide whether to see or not."

Chen She nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.

He was a little puzzled. Zhang Sirui had already gone to "negotiate", so why did Toudo Yuki come to meet him?

But listening to Zhao Zhen's explanation, it seems quite reasonable.

After thinking for a moment, Chen She made up his mind: "In that case, let's meet."

Zhao Zhen reminded again: "Mr. Chen, we must also pay attention to the possibility of spying on intelligence. Toudo Yuki is a good person. Although it is the first time to meet you, he may deliberately ask some sensitive questions during the negotiation. Test our attitude."

"At that time, some of your micro-expressions may be captured by him."

"Of course, I will be present throughout the process and try my best to analyze the information of Todo Group through his micro-expressions. And you can also try to mislead and confuse him."

"The risks and rewards involved, please think twice."

Chen She was speechless.

Good guys, is this a real business war? All of you are psychological analysts, so you are really undermining your talents when you come to discuss business.

After careful consideration, Chen She finally decided: "See you."

It stands to reason that given Chen She's calm character, it would be better to have one thing less than one thing more at this time, and it would be better not to see him at all.

But Chen She had other considerations.

Zhao Zhen said that Todo Yuki might have come here to spy on information, and would obtain some information by capturing the micro-expressions on Chen She's face.

But Chen She felt that he could just let him catch him casually, since he knew nothing about the company's secrets now...

Even if Toudo Yuki is a master of micro-expression analysis, he can't analyze something out of thin air, right?

If you analyze and analyze, you will only confuse yourself.

Moreover, Chen She can also use Zhao Zhen to spy on this direct competitor of the Chen Group.

Although Chen She has a stable nature, he has never been one to miss opportunities.

Missing an opportunity is not called stability, but should be called cowardice and waiting for death.

If Chen She wants to be stable, he must obtain more information, and if he wants to obtain information, he cannot miss this important opportunity.

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Okay, Mr. Chen, I will make arrangements right away."

…

Afternoon, reception room at Chen's Consortium headquarters.

After Chen She and Toudo Yuki exchanged greetings in a pretentious manner, they took their seats.

Chen She looked up and down at the senior executive of the Todo Group who was living a good life. He saw Todo Yuki smiling sincerely, but Chen She still kept his guard up in his heart.

Both parties know very well that the other party must have bad intentions!

Language has not become a barrier between two people, because this world has extremely accurate translators.

Fujido Yuki did not go into too much detail, but went straight to the point.

"Mr. Chen, I'm deeply sorry to hear that you were unwell some time ago and have been unable to come to visit. I feel relieved to see that you are in good health."

"I came here this time to bring the friendship of Todo Group."

"I know that the Chen Group is facing a shortage of funds. As long as you are willing to let Tengtang Group invest in the Chaomeng business, not only can this shortage of funds be alleviated, but you will also gain access to Chaomeng production and promotion in the future. Our great support…”

Chen She silently drank a sip of tea, expressionless.

Fujido Group obviously hit Chen's consortium with a stick first and then gave it a sweet date. The ultimate goal is to invest in the Mewtwo business, so as to gradually achieve control and annexation.

Fujido Yuki's words were full of concern in the greetings, and threats in the concern, and his intention was actually very clear.

Want to interfere in Chen's consortium's Mewtwo business? This wishful thinking is well made.

Chen She certainly would not let the rhythm be completely controlled by the other party, and directly interrupted.

"Mr. Fujido, if you came here just to say this, please go back."

"You should know the situation of our two companies better than I do."

"Our Chen Group will not accept this."

The enthusiastic smile on Fujido Yuki's face gradually faded, and he said meaningfully: "Mr. Chen, as far as I know, your company's financial situation is very dangerous. Are you so sure that your company will turn the tide?"

Chen She smiled faintly: "Of course."

His calmness comes from the evaluation and thinking of known information, as well as from the changes he made to Mewtwo, and the unity and solidarity of the entire company.

Fujido Yuki obviously couldn't know what Chen She was thinking, but he also saw Chen She's determination.

In doubt, he made a guess.

"Does your company want to use military means to go to war with us? I must remind you that this is definitely not a wise idea!"

Chen She was confused.

What's going on?

What kind of brain circuit is Fujido Yuki thinking of going to war?

It's too outrageous to use the word "war" to describe the two companies!

We are serious businessmen, not bandits in the mountains!

Besides, Chen She is calm by nature. Even if he has the security team of the Chen Group, how could he make such a high-risk military adventure?

Chen She shook his head seriously: "This joke is not funny at all."

Fujido Yuki carefully looked at Chen She's expression, as if to confirm the truth of his words.

After a moment, Fujido Yuki got an answer that reassured him.

He also knew that the two sides could not reach an agreement, so he stood up: "In this case, I will take my leave first. I wish your company a smooth journey through the difficulties."

Chen She picked up the tea: "Uncle Zhao, see you off."

Watching Fujido Yuki leave, Chen She estimated that Zhang Sirui's negotiations would most likely not succeed.

Chen Group and Fujido Group are direct competitors in the OEM business. Not only that, the other party is also coveting Chen Group's Mewtwo industry, and must want to take this opportunity to swallow up Chen Group.

However, Chen She thinks that this is harmless.

In his opinion, as long as the Mewtwo of "Desperate War" can be preserved, it will be enough for Chen Group to turn danger into safety.

…

On Fujido Group's hovercraft, Fujido Yuki is still recalling the meeting with Mr. Chen just now, trying to analyze some details from it.

At this moment, his bracelet rang.

A holographic projection of a senior executive of the Fujido Group appeared on the bracelet, with an angry face: "The batch of materials we are about to transport to Dawn City has been looted!"

Fujido Yuki was shocked: "When?"

The senior executive on the call said: "Just got the news! Could it be done by the Chen Group?"

Fujido Yuki immediately shook his head: "Impossible! I just met with the president of the Chen Group, and all his micro-expressions proved that he is a carefully planned chess player, not a desperate gambler."

"The Chen Group has absolutely not planned any military action against us."

The senior executive on the call nodded: "Well, judging from the traces at the scene, it may be the work of the rebels wandering in the wilderness near Dawn City. I don't think the Chen Group has such courage."

"It seems to be a coincidence."

The two chatted briefly for a few more sentences and ended the call.

Fujido Yuki frowned and looked out the window of the hovercraft.
