Video Game Empire

Chapter 256: Inner ghost

This kind of battle fighting game is definitely a coin-swallowing weapon, especially when players play against each other, the winner can be scored in a very short time. It's small, and once players become competitive, it won't take long to swallow a lot of game coins. In another time and space, the ancestor of the fighting game is "Kung Fu" launched by Konami in 1985. The original Street Fighter didn't go on sale until 1987, but unfortunately the arcade boom in North America had receded by that time.

Without the support of the largest market in the United States, the entire arcade industry has irreversibly declined. The reasons for the decline of arcade machines are complex, but there are two most important ones. The first is because the retail landscape in the United States changed in the second half of the 1980s. Many grocery stores and laundromats with arcade machines quickly went bankrupt in the face of competition from large supermarket chains such as Walmart. Second, because of the rapid development of the personal computer industry, computer games have gradually replaced the popular arcade games.

This is an irreversible trend, Li Xuan is powerless to change, he can only try to adapt. The brilliant Japanese game companies in the previous life in the 1980s missed development opportunities in the field of computer games, so that the rapid rise of European and American game companies has divided up the biggest fat in the game industry.

Dongfang Games will not make such a mistake, and began to release computer copies of its various games as early as two years ago. Although the sales of game floppy disks are still insignificant compared to the sales of arcade machines, handheld consoles, and game consoles, this is a tentacle that Li Xuan has stretched out in the computer game industry.

"Boss, there is something I need to report to you!" Du Wenqiang quickly turned from his hippie smile to a serious one when he came out of the game testing area.

Li Xuan looked at him the same. Looking at his slightly gloomy face, I guessed that this was definitely not good news. So he nodded. Follow Du Wenqiang to his office first.

"There has been a serious leak in the company, and an insider is suspected of revealing the information of various new games we are developing!" Du Wenqiang's words quickly made Li Xuan frown.

"How did you find out?" Li Xuan asked.

"This ghost is named Xia Changying. He was recruited into the company last year. He graduated from the Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute with a major in electronics. After joining the company, he was assigned to the hardware department and was responsible for the R&D and design of arcade boards. Since last month, he suddenly Often appear in the company's new game test area onlookers. Also seemingly unintentionally asking other people various questions about many new games.

You must know that our game R&D department has a very strict confidentiality system, and everyone knows very well which problems need to be avoided. Even if you're ready to offer some good ideas of your own to other teams, just formulate your suggestions based on what you see and think. You shouldn't go into the full details of other projects.

His many inappropriate inquiries quickly attracted the attention of several R&D staff, so the situation was quickly reported to me. I asked the information security department of the group to intervene in the investigation! After nearly a week of tracking, we finally found out the development data and progress of several of our new games when he was talking to a mysterious person through a bug installed on his phone! "Du Wenqiang said with a heavy heart.

The Information Security Department is a special department within Dongfang Electronics Corporation, which is specially responsible for preventing competitors' abnormal business competition methods. Eliminating commercial espionage is one of its important responsibilities. To ensure that the company's interests are not harmed, it often resorts to extreme measures, such as wiretapping employees on a suspect list.

Eavesdropping is certainly an illegal move, and if exposed, it can cause serious damage to a company's reputation. So on the surface. The Information Security Department is only working with a detective agency that has nothing to do with Dongfang Electronics. These unclean actions are carried out by the detective agency. In the event of a problem, Dongfang Electronics can completely survive by breaking its arm and push the responsibility completely.

But in fact. This detective agency registered in the Cayman Islands has a close relationship with Dongfang Electronics. In addition to guarding against the attack of competitors, Dongfang Electronics will also use it to use some invisible means.

Like last year. The Ministry of Information Security has successfully acquired an employee of Microsoft Corporation through the progress of s-os. Finally, the development progress of the p machine of company b is deduced. As a result, the ab-3 computer was put on the market first, and it severely attacked the p computer that could have been a big hit.

"Originally, we wanted to follow the clues. Catch the protagonist behind the scenes. But the other party is obviously very strict, and the person in charge of connecting with Xia Changying is just a Ronaldinho. We eavesdropped on this Ronaldinho and found that his superior was from Japan. But through our My colleagues in Japan are investigating, and every time the phone number in Hong Kong is called, it is a public phone from a street phone booth!" Du Wenqiang shook his head a little depressedly and said.

"So Sega is the most suspicious company! Of course, it is not ruled out that there may be other Japanese game companies that want to copy our ideas!" Li Xuan said with a smile, "What are you going to do?"

"According to our eavesdropping information, Xia Chang should hand over a batch of game materials to his boss in two days. We have already called the police, and the police will arrest them on the spot, and everyone will be caught!" Du Wenqiang said viciously.

This is the first time that the Oriental Group has encountered a commercial spy~www.readwn.com~ Before Li Xuan thought that the most likely to be spied on should be the Oriental Research Institute. After all, there are many valuable scientific research projects there, but I didn’t expect that the first one to be attacked was the game company. It can also be seen how much pressure Dongfang Games has exerted on other competitors in the industry!

"What is the reason why Xia Changying reacted to the water?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

Because of its strong profitability, Dongfang Game Company has very good internal benefits. Especially for game developers, if the team they join develops a hot-selling game, the sales dividends given by the company can instantly double everyone's net worth.

For example, the arcade R&D team that developed the game "Kung Fu", several of the main creators received more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars in dividends last year. This also makes the loyalty of Dongfang Game Company's employees very high. Although the outside world has launched a fierce poaching, there is almost no loss of the real core R&D talents.

"His family seems to have suffered an accident not long ago. His parents were involved in a car accident on the way out. His father had a fractured vertebra. Even if a well-known foreign expert came to Hong Kong for surgery, the probability of avoiding paralysis was only 20%. Her mother's legs were crushed. Sexual fracture, the lower body can only rely on a wheelchair to move!" Du Wenqiang's words were also a bit more bleak, and the resentment in his eyes against Anti-Bone Boy was not as strong as before. (To be continued..)
