Chapter 252 The World Cup in France ([-])
Without the appearance of Zhang Lexing, the leading company can be regarded as a leading figure in the domestic game industry. Whether it is the creation of its predecessor Pioneer Cartoon on the Nintendo red and white machine, or the efforts made by the pioneering company in computer games, it is impressive. It is commendable, and it can be regarded as an attempt to develop the domestic game industry.

Zhang Lexing remembered that the final fate of the leading company was to disband the development team and withdraw from the game industry, leaving only a so-called G-file as the final swan song.In order to avoid the same thing from happening, Zhang Lexing used to take good care of the leading companies. They were the first companies to invest in after the establishment of the Dream Fund. They also helped him improve his first game "Guandu" and released it to overseas markets. Fengyun The Game Academy also provides certain talent support.Originally thought that the lead would have a good development, but he did not expect to come to this point in the end, Zhang Lexing couldn't help feeling sad.

The leading company can’t ignore it, it’s not for the dream fund’s investment, but for those who devote themselves to game development because of their love for games, just like Zhang Lexing himself, if it’s just for making money, doing anything is better than doing it in China Stand-alone games make money, so why go all the way back and make such a mess.

The leading company needs to be managed, but Zhang Lexing doesn’t want to be confused. At least he must change the current situation where the leading company is losing money. Fortunately, people from the Dream Fund know that it is not convenient for Zhang Lexing to look up information, and they have attached the information about the leading company’s current status to the email. The detailed description of the situation even includes their recent evaluation of the leading company. The character and technology are not bad, and they got A (5 points) and B (4 points) respectively, but it is related to the market and the company's survival. The management aspect is obviously low, only C (3 points) and D (2 points), respectively, which means that the experts of the Dream Fund believe that the main problems of the leading companies lie in the market and management, especially the management problems are more serious.

The experts of the Dream Fund also gave several solutions at the end of the email. The first one is the simplest. The creative workshop or Dongfang Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd. directly acquires the leading company, and then merges and reorganizes the personnel. .The second option is to inject new funds into the project by buying out the copyrights of some projects in the hands of the leader. It is recommended to adjust its management at the same time, otherwise it will only last for a short time at most.The third option is to take over the game development team from the leading company and buy out the projects under development. It is similar to the first option, but it does not involve company acquisition and requires relatively less funds...

Zhang Lexing was completely disappointed in the management level and market operation ability of the leading company after repeating the same mistakes. The market is still easy to handle. At worst, his own distribution companies will help him once or twice in the future, but it will definitely not work if he does not change the management. So he chose the third option without any hesitation. This was the cleanest and most thorough method, and he didn't have to deal with the current or possible future management of the leading company. Anyway, he didn't lack the management personnel of the game company.After writing the reply email, stamping it with my electronic stamp and sending it out, the affairs of the leading company have come to an end for the time being...

When Zhang Lexing was still studying the information of the leading company, many places in China had already begun to suffer from floods. In fact, there were already signs of this as early as mid-June. At that time, due to the large-scale continuous The heavy rainfall has caused the water level in many places to rise sharply. Major floods have occurred in the Poyang Lake water system and the Dongting Lake water system successively. Many water systems flowing into the two lakes have exceeded the historical warning water level.Floodwater from the two lakes flowed into the Yangtze River. Since the 6th, the water level of the Yangtze River has also crossed the warning line. Many water conservancy departments in cities along the river and around the lake are nervously paying attention to the hydrological data reported by the people below.

Of course, Zhang Lexing is not clear about these things, and it is impossible for the staff below to send some irrelevant weather information when his boss is on vacation, so after reading the information of the leading company and making his own decision, Zhang Lexing continued to accompany him Chen Zishan went to enjoy the World Cup.

At 7:3 pm on July 4, in the Stade de France (Paris Saint-Denis Stadium), a focus battle between Italy and France kicked off.The game was extremely dull. Both sides seemed to be busy defending and neglecting offense. Chen Zishan felt a little drowsy watching it. She finally saw the ball being pushed into the frontcourt, and the shooter seemed to find the direction of the gate , she couldn't help muttering: "Why didn't the old horse send Baggio on the field, didn't you see that the current offense is a mess."

"Should be playing, maybe the head coach thinks it's not the time yet." Zhang Lexing comforted him.

Chen Zishan pursed her lips and didn't say anything else. Unexpectedly, she waited for 10 minutes. It was not until 22 minutes into the second half that Baggio was replaced. .After Baggio came on the field, Italy's offensive improved, but it was still fruitless. In overtime, Baggio found a good opportunity and volleyed without stopping the ball in the penalty area. The French goalkeeper Barthez had already given up. Resistance, but the ball slipped past the goal, Italy lost the last chance to rewrite the score, and the game was dragged into a penalty shootout.

Zinedine Zidane, the first French team to play, kicked a low shot, the ball rolled into the net from the right side of the goal, and France led 1-0.The next player to play was Baggio. He put the ball back and slowly stepped back. At this moment, the whole stadium seemed to become quiet. Countless eyes were fixed on him, and many people had an idea in their hearts. Hovering, "Can Baggio score this penalty?" Chen Zishan grabbed Zhang Lexing's clothes with one hand and leaned beside him, staring nervously at the TV screen in the private room.

After hearing the referee's whistle, Baggio stopped, and then started to run up. When he came to the ball, he pushed lightly. Barthez misjudged the direction, and the ball rolled into the net from the other side.Baggio, who made the penalty goal, did not celebrate, but put his hand on his lips and made a gesture of shutting up. Perhaps he hoped that through this ball, those who had been questioning him would shut up and suppressed for a long time. He needs to vent his emotions too much.

Then the penalty kicked by the French team Nigarazu was held upright by Pagliuca, and the Italians rejoiced, but then Albertini's penalty was saved by the bald Barthez, and the French rekindled hope.In the next two rounds, the penalty kicks of both sides were successfully scored. In the last round, Blanco played for the French team. Only Italy can keep hope.

Run-up, acceleration, kick-off, the ball was kicked vigorously by Di Biagio and flew towards the center of the goal, but Barthez jumped in the wrong direction, the ball flew towards the goal quickly, and then... with a "bang", it hit the crossbar After coming out, Di Biagio fell on the grass in pain, and the French were elated.

Chen Zishan angrily hit Zhang Lexing's thigh with a hammer, causing him to let out a low cry involuntarily.Chen Zishan stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and asked with concern: "Le Xing, it doesn't matter if it hurts or not."

Zhang Lexing didn't look at his leg, instead he took Chen Zishan's hand, touched it lightly, and said, "It's a good thing you hit the fleshy place, otherwise, even if I don't feel pain, I still have to feel sorry for your hand."

"I'm so timid." Chen Zishan curled her lips and said, "Le Xing, shall we still watch the next game?"

"Why don't you watch it? There's still the final. Don't you want to see with your own eyes who wins the championship in the end?"

"Well, yes, they are all here. But I think Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands, and Argentina are all possible, but France is not!"

"Shanshan, why is this?"

"Hmph, who made him eliminate Italy!" Chen Zishan muttered dissatisfied.

In the next few days of the game, in a goal shootout, Laudrup Jr. almost created a new Danish fairy tale again. Fortunately, Rivaldo scored the goal in time to seal the victory, which avoided encountering Germany's same goal. An embarrassment of fate.The old German chariot barely made it to the quarter-finals, but was defeated by the young Croatia with a score of 3-0. Suk even told Germany with his left foot that can play the violin People, the ball should be kicked like this!Also at the Velodrome Stadium, before the end of the game between the Netherlands and Argentina, the ice prince Bergkamp unloaded Frank de Boer's long pass beautifully on the right side of the penalty area, and the ball was elegantly Controlling under his own feet, he finally shot the ball into the far corner with the outside instep from a small angle, kicking Argentina out of the game.

……

The water situation is still continuing. Due to continuous days of torrential rain, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River began to exceed the highest water level in history. The Songhua River far in the northeast also experienced its first flood this year. When floods occurred, many people stepped onto the embankment to try to defend their homes. In some critical places, officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army and armed police appeared.

……

The game was still going on. With Thuram's two flashes of inspiration, Chen Zishan's pessimistic France stumbled into the final. On the other side, Brazil drew 1-1 with the Netherlands. into the finals.

Before the final day on July 7th, all kinds of reports have analyzed the two opponents in the final thoroughly. The debate on who will win between Brazil and France is also hot. Of course, most of them are still more optimistic about Brazil. This point, whether it is the analysis of the strength of the two teams in the newspaper, or the performance of the two teams in the knockout stage, and even some underground handicap are showing this possibility.As for Ronaldo fainting the day before the final revealed by some tabloids, it was naturally regarded as a smoke screen cast by the Brazilian team, and when Ronaldo started to play at the start of the game, people's thinking was further strengthened.

Chen Zishan, who was staring at the entrance ceremony on TV, suddenly patted Le Xing and said, "Le Xing, let's have another prize quiz today."

"Okay, are you going to gamble again?" Zhang Lexing asked casually.

"No," Chen Zishan shook her head: "I'm getting tired of eating your big meals all the time, let's come back and get something else."

"Alright, then this is a bit more unique. Shanshan, if you win, I'll give you a kiss, and if I win, you can give me a kiss."

"Come on, be serious, okay?"

"Okay, then if you win, I will do something that will touch you, Shanshan. What if I win..."

"I'll just do something that moves you."

"OK! Shanshan, then who do you think will win?"

"Well, I guess Brazil wins."

"Then I guess France wins, and Brazil by three goals."

"Impossible, even if France accidentally wins, it's impossible to win so much." Chen Zishan looked disbelieving.

Zhang Lexing said with a smile: "Then let's make another bet, shall we?"

"Okay, say it!"

"If I lose, I will help you realize a wish, no matter what it is."

"Hey, aren't you afraid that my wish will be hard to come true?"

"For Shanshan, I will find a way to complete even the most difficult things."

"Really?"

"Of course! But if I win by accident, you can marry me."

"Well, how could this be?"

"What's the matter, Shanshan, you have no confidence in the Brazilian team."

"I'm afraid to gamble. I don't believe that Brazil will lose to France by three goals. First let's say yes, overtime and penalty shootouts don't count."

"Okay, no problem." Zhang Lexing glanced at the TV, patted Chen Zishan on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Okay, the game has already started, let's watch the game."

"En." Chen Zishan nodded, her eyes shifted to the ongoing match on the field, her face was very relaxed.

When Zidane leaped high during the run and overwhelmed Leonardo to head the ball into the goal of the Brazilian team, Chen Zishan curled her lips and said nothing. When the first half was coming to an end, Zidane headed the ball again near the front post When she entered the gate of the Brazil team, she couldn't help muttering: "It's okay, there's still time, there's still 45 minutes left."

In the 68th minute of the second half, when Desailly, the backbone of the French defense, was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards, the Brazilian team saw a glimmer of hope and launched a fierce attack. Chen Zishan also had more expectations in her heart.But until the end of the game, the fourth official held up the sign for 3 minutes of stoppage time, but the Brazilian team did not even score a goal. Instead, the French team succeeded in a 90-minute raid, and the striker, who rarely draws, finally kicked the ball. After scoring a goal, France leads Brazil 3-0. There is no suspense at this point in the game.

When the ball kicked by Patty bounced on the turf and rolled into the goal of the Brazilian team, Chen Zishan couldn't help turning her gaze to Zhang Lexing, with an unbelievable expression on her face: "Lexing, you...how are you doing?" Guess what?"

"I..." Only then did Zhang Lexing remember that he had actually done such a dangerous activity as predicting scores on a whim, he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, and said, "I didn't just guess by chance, but I didn't expect to be right. , I should have bought a few football lottery tickets, haha."

Chen Zishan looked at Zhang Lexing's face with a complicated expression for a long time, suddenly a little more shy in her eyes, and said with a reddish face, "Then...then what should I do."

Zhang Lexing smiled slyly and said, "What should I do, marry me!"
