Chapter 137 Fatty G’s Visit (4K)

Qin Shaoyan woke up with a fright when he received the call from Fatty G. He looked up at the time and saw that it was almost 11 o'clock.

Fifteen or six hours had passed since Fatty G received his call. This guy must have hung up the phone and gone straight to the airport.

Qin Shaoyan breathed a sigh of relief. He was so sleepy just now that he almost thought Fatty G came through the portal.

He immediately said: "Don't move at the airport, I will pick you up right away."

Qin Shaoyan quickly stood up and called everyone in their sleeping bags, "Quick, get up, Fatty G has arrived at the airport."

The company immediately started to boil. Everyone sat up and hurriedly started to clean up.

"Fuck!"

"He flew here?!"

"Nonsense, you can still swim here if you can't fly?!"

"Hurry up and clean up all the workstations!"

Qin Shaoyan ran into the bathroom, washing himself while thinking quickly about what to say after seeing Fat G.

Watching the strong men from the art team squeeze in one after another, they threw themselves on the sink, took a handful of water with their hands and rubbed it on their faces. They just wiped two handfuls of them and washed their faces.

In the chaos of war, Qin Shaoyan caught Hong Fei who was brushing his teeth.

"Hurry up, you'll come with me to pick me up at the airport in a minute."

"Gulu gulu, poof!" Hong Fei spat out the foam in his mouth, "I won't go. I'll watch them at home and let Zhang Tianshi follow you."

"He must be going." Qin Shaoyan quickly scanned the crowd, "Where's Teacher Fan? Why didn't you see him?"

"It's Saturday, boss!" Hong Fei reminded, "You promised him that you don't have to come over the weekend."

"Fuck! Call him quickly, he has to bring people over even if he is holding a solo concert!" Qin Shaoyan warned, "He is the chief engineer, how can we talk about technical issues when he is not here?"

Hong Fei was a little embarrassed, "What should I do if he says he can't come?"

"Just tell him that Fat G is here, that's his idol." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "Then we'll wait and see which one is his favorite, idol or music."

Qin Shaoyan gave a few instructions, and Zhang Pingyi, who was already prepared, started urging him.

The two got into the company's new car and headed straight to the airport.

Qin Shaoyan was not idle on the way, he kept sending text messages and began to spread the news everywhere.

At the same time, he took the time to make a phone call to Ren Yuxin from Penguin.

"Hey, Mr. Ren, I have some good news for you." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "The boss of V agency has arrived in Yanjing. I will pick him up right away. When will you come over?"

"Mr. Gabe Newell has a very tight schedule. If you don't hurry up, you will miss it."

Ren Yuxin was surprised and happy, and said quickly: "I am already at Bao'an Airport in Pengcheng, and I will arrive in Beijing in the afternoon. Can you arrange for me to meet Mr. Gabe Newell?"

"This depends on the other party's schedule, but don't worry, I will try my best to help you fight for it." Qin Shaoyan then lowered his voice, "Have you made arrangements for media reporters and so on? This is big news."

"I'll make arrangements right now!" Ren Yuxin said quickly, "Thanks to Mr. Qin for reminding me, otherwise I would have ignored such an important matter."

"Okay, please contact us quickly and ask the reporter to come directly to our company. I will be responsible for the arrangements then." Qin Shaoyan began to take care of everything.

"Mr. Qin, what you didn't say is quite interesting!" Ren Yuxin was very moved.

When looking for a business partner, you have to look for someone like Mr. Qin, who will arrange everything for you clearly.

Mr. Qin is such a good person!

"Mr. Qin, you will always be Penguin's best partner. We at Penguin will never treat our friends badly." Ren Yuxin excitedly began to promise randomly, "As long as it is your company, it will always be ranked first on the cooperation list."

"Thank you, Mr. Ren, for the compliment. I wish our two families a happy cooperation and become bigger and stronger together." Qin Shaoyan responded with a smile.

After a few business exchanges, Qin Shaoyan hung up the phone.

Best partner?
Just listen to this. The greatest sincerity you can show to your partners is to pay 100% tribute to them.

So I'm not using you penguins just for myself.

In order to prevent you from being imbecile in the future, I will act like an imbecile first.

Is there anything wrong with this logic?

Seeing Qin Shaoyan's meaningful smile, Zhang Pingyi glanced at him and thought for a while without saying anything.

Maybe Mr. Qin has some strange ideas again, so it's better not to disturb him.

……

After arriving at the airport, Qin Shaoyan quickly found G Fat and George who were in a daze.

"Hi, Gabe, George." Qin Shaoyan greeted them enthusiastically and hugged the two of them one by one, "Welcome to China."

Fatty G looked up at the sky, a little curious, "This is my first time coming to China. Is it different from what I imagined?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said nothing. Fortunately, you came late.

The weather today is quite long, with no sand or haze. If we come in March, we can still catch a sandstorm.

This is a period when sandstorms are raging. In 2002, the total dustfall in a sandstorm could reach as high as 3 tons, or 2 kilograms per capita.

Since then, blowing sand or sandstorms have occurred almost every year, becoming the most annoying sight in spring.

"I'll take you to the hotel first." Qin Shaoyan put the two people's boxes into the trunk and asked, "You guys go to rest first. There's a feast tonight. What do you want to eat?"

"NONONO!" Fatty G shook his head and refused, "I have already rested on the plane. Now I want to go directly to your company to see that cool game you mentioned."

"Okay, as you wish." Qin Shaoyan looked at George, "George, what about you, do you want to rest?"

The boss said he was going to work, but George dared not say he was going to bed. He sighed, "I'll go take a look too."

Since Fatty G was so interested, Qin Shaoyan couldn't refuse, so the group drove to Sentinel Technology Company excitedly.

As soon as a few people got out of the car, a large group of reporters appeared around them and surrounded them.

Qin Shaoyan looked at several black and thick microphones coming towards him, his posture was like an assassination, and he wanted to stuff it into his mouth.

"Hello, we are Sohu..."

"We are Sina..."

"We are NetEase..."

"Excuse me, Mr. Qin, is Mr. Gabe Newell coming here at your invitation this time?"

"Mr. Qin, does your company cooperate with the American Valve Company?"

"Mr. Qin, people in the industry call you the number one player in Chinese gaming. What do you think?"

"Mr. Qin! Some people say that you are just trying to gain fame, but you are not worthy of your reputation. They also say that the Golden Keyboard Award is a pheasant award. What do you think?"

Qin Shaoyan was leading people forward. When he heard this question, he was a little stunned. Then he stopped and asked angrily: "Which media are you from? Who said this?!"

"Slander! This is slander!" Qin Shaoyan said angrily, "The Golden Keyboard Award is a famous game award in the United States. It is selected once a year and is judged by senior game producers. How come it turned into a Pheasant Award in the mouth of some people with ulterior motives? ?" "Does he think he is more professional than American game producers? More powerful than Mr. Gabe Newell?"

The reporters nearby were full of excitement and quickly wrote something in their notebooks.

"Don't regard your ignorance as your personality, your ignorance as your strengths, and those who have never heard of things as if they don't exist." Qin Shaoyan said righteously, "Take the well-known film awards as an example. You have all heard of the Academy Awards. , Palme d'Or, Golden Bear, then how many of you have heard of the Golden Leopard Award?"

The reporters were all stunned, what is the Golden Leopard Award?
It couldn't have been made up by Mr. Qin, but no one dared to ask for fear of being regarded as ignorant.

However, there was a reporter from Sina who often worked in the entertainment field. He responded quickly and immediately raised his hand and said: "I know the Golden Leopard Award, an award from the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland."

Good guy, it turns out there really is a Golden Leopard Award.

Qin Shaoyan glanced at the Sina reporter approvingly, "The little girl has a bright future and has solid industry knowledge."

Qin Shaoyan sighed, and said in a tone that hates iron but cannot be made into steel: "Here I want to advise some people. I ask you to understand the basic concepts of game design. Don't listen to wind and rain. Even win domestic awards. Soon I started to be jealous of famous designers who have won international awards.”

"The development of our game industry is not easy, so don't get into fights."

"If anyone can sell more than 10 million copies of his game, I will immediately give him the golden keyboard."

"Of course, I believe that domestic game practitioners are all good and will not easily listen to the ulterior motives of a few individuals." Qin Shaoyan said righteously, "In order to promote the healthy development of domestic stand-alone games and encourage game industry practitioners, I Announce it here.”

"I will personally invest five million to establish a domestic stand-alone game support fund to reward outstanding game design talents."

The reporters were writing furiously one by one, quickly formulating exciting news headlines.

Today's interview is worth the price of admission.

Ding Yang from Volkswagen Software took advantage of everyone's confusion and hurriedly squeezed to the front, "Mr. Qin, I am Ding Yang, the editor of Volkswagen Software."

"Hello, hello." Qin Shaoyan immediately recognized this acquaintance, "We met on ChinaJoy."

"Mr. Qin has a good memory." Ding Yang asked excitedly, "Is there any special reason for Mr. Gabe Newell to come to China this time? Is it just for inspection and tourism, or is it for further cooperation with Sentinel Technology?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly and said slowly, "Valve Corporation of the United States and Chuxin Technology Co., Ltd. under my name are strategic partners. We have a long-term cooperation agreement. Valve Corporation is our designated game publisher in North America. "

"In addition to the field of game publishing, we will often communicate and learn from each other."

"Mr. Gabe Newell came here for communication. The second point is that the two parties are ready to negotiate the details of the next game cooperation."

Ding Yang was surprised and happy, "Song Qin has a new game coming out, can you reveal some inside information?"

"Yes, it is an FPS game." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "It is a shooting game that can be connected online."

Ding Yang couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Qin, there is news that your company is cooperating with Penguin and preparing to obtain the authorization for the online version of Counter-Strike. Is this news true?"

"Business secrets cannot be disclosed." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.

"Mr. Qin, are the top officials of V Agency coming to discuss the Counter-Strike online version this time?" Ding Yang continued to ask.

"I'm sorry, I have no comment." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds and said slowly, "But our company will listen to the opinions and voices of players extensively and continue to work hard to never let down everyone's love and expectations. Please wait patiently. , we will launch more and better games to give back to everyone."

"As for Counter-Strike OL, please stay calm. We will adjust and promote the company's next project according to the original plan."

Hiss, Mr. Qin is already hinting, right?

This is not a hint, this is basically an explicit statement!
The reporters turned their heads and looked at Fatty G again. They all turned their microphones away and asked questions one after another.

Fatty G stood there awkwardly. He didn't like being interviewed, but he was surrounded by reporters and couldn't move, which made him a little unhappy.

Qin Shaoyan lowered his head and said in his ear: "Just say a few words and send them away. Our company's security personnel will be here soon."

"Everyone, please be quiet!" Qin Shaoyan yelled at the reporter, "Don't mess around. I'll roll your name. Whoever is called and whoever asks questions will have questions."

The reporters immediately raised their hands, and some people stood on their toes and waved their arms desperately.

Qin Shaoyan didn't even look at the others, but pointed directly at Ding Yang, "Popular Software, you ask."

Ding Yang excitedly raised the microphone and asked in stumbling English: "Mr. Newell, would Valve be willing to hand over the license for the online version of Counter-Strike to Chuxin Technology Co., Ltd.?"

"Of course I am willing." Fatty G smiled and nodded without hesitation, "We have a very happy cooperation with John. If he has requirements in this regard, we can negotiate and cooperate."

That’s interesting, G fat!
Qin Shaoyan secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart, you are really cooperative.

However, we could not let reporters ask any more questions at this time. On the one hand, they were afraid that these reporters would ask difficult questions, and on the other hand, Fatty G was a little impatient.

"Okay, that's it for today. If there is any news, we will notify our friends in the news media in time." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Let's all disperse."

Seeing Mr. Qin giving the secret signal, several strong men immediately rushed out from the crowd, separated the reporters, and escorted Mr. Qin and his party into the company.

At this time, Fatty G breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "John, why didn't you tell me in advance when a reporter was interviewing you?"

Qin Shaoyan also looked aggrieved, "I didn't arrange this, and I don't know where they came from."

Fatty G shrugged his shoulders, "This is the first time I have received such a warm welcome. I feel like I am a star."

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said: "Gabu, you are indeed a celebrity in China. The Chinese game player base is very large, with tens of millions of people. Most of them have played Counter-Strike."

"Wow." Fatty G exclaimed, "Is the Chinese market so big?"

Qin Shaoyan began to ponder, and was thinking about how to explain to Fatty G, when suddenly a person appeared next to him.

"Mr. Newell, hello, hello." Fan Xiaoqian reached out her hand and grabbed Fatty G in surprise, and said in fluent English, "I like your Half-Life and Counter-Strike the most. Can you sign your autograph for me? ?”

Fatty G was startled, "Who are you?!"

Qin Shaoyan quickly introduced, "This is the main project of our FPS game project, Fan Xiaoqian."

Only then did Fatty G feel relieved and shook hands with Fan Xiaoqian, "Hello, Fan, where do you want to sign?"

Fan Xiaoqian took out a genuine Counter-Strike game disc and said, "Just sign it here."

Qin Shaoyan watched Fatty G sign his name and winked at Fan Xiaoqian, "Teacher Fan, let's take Fatty G to see the game demo. Is that okay?"

"No problem, I've fixed all the bugs." Fan Xiaoqian said confidently, and then he changed the subject, "But wait a minute, what about your promise to me?"

Qin Shaoyan was stunned, "What's going on?"

"You promised me when we were in the bar that I would perform a piece for Fat G." Fan Xiaoqian rubbed her hands excitedly, "It's better to arrive early than to arrive late."

"What are you causing trouble? Let's talk about it later." Qin Shaoyan rolled his eyes, "Besides, there is no drum set in the company."

"No need!" Fan Xiaoqian puffed up her chest, "I'm from Tianjin!"

Then Qin Shaoyan watched in stunned silence as Fan Xiaoqian took out a bamboo board from her pocket and started playing with it.

"There are so many bamboo boards..."

Qin Shaoyan: "..."

Everyone: "..."

G Fat: “╰(*°▽°*)╯”

　I took my child to the hospital early this morning with laryngitis + tracheitis. The child became ill during the Chinese New Year, and fell ill again a few days after he recovered.
