Chapter 284 Stardew Valley: Do You Understand the Value of SVE, East Scape, and Richside Village (Please Subscribe)
As the year draws to a close, the Sichuan Provincial Game Association’s general meeting is about to be held.
The meaning of this call from Chu Tiankuo is self-evident.
The two of them clicked through, exchanged a few words, and hung up the phone.
Cai Gou thought to himself that as the vice president of the Sichuan Provincial Game Association, it seemed that he was a sure thing.
He was in a good mood and immediately walked out of the conference room humming a song. This appearance happened to be seen by Zhu Ping'an who was passing by. He asked curiously:
"Brother Dog, what's the happy news? Why are you so happy? Tell me about it so that my brother and I will be happy too?"
Cai Gou chuckled and said, "President Chu called me just now to inform me that the Sichuan Provincial Game Association's general meeting will be held in five days and asked me to prepare in advance."
"Oh, then this is a happy event! A big happy event." Zhu Pingan said excitedly: "I will call the brothers and go to your house for a drink tonight?"
Cai Gou thought for a second, shook his head and said: "Forget it, the matter has not been settled yet, we will meet again when I come back."
"Hey, that's okay!" Zhu Ping'an nodded, and then asked excitedly:
"Brother Dog, the development of Stardew Valley has been completed. Our project team has nothing to do as the new year is approaching. Do you think this is ridiculous? Why don't you give me another project?"
Stardew Valley and Ark: Survival Evolved are two games that were launched at the same time in the second half of this year due to the counterattack of the plagiarism incident.
However, because Stardew Valley is not large in scale, the current Taipingdao Company project team has a strong team and the game design plan given by Cai Gou.
The production cycle of Stardew Valley, a pixel-style game, is not too long. Now that we have made every effort, it has taken almost two months since the project was approved. It is reasonable that the development of Stardew Valley is completed.
The two chatted while walking. Faced with this problem, Cai Gou fell into deep thought. After a while, he walked to Cai Gou's office. Zhu Ping'an looked at him eagerly and followed him step by step.
Cai Gou pondered for a moment and asked: "Fengqi, Wutong, Qingshan, Baihua, are there any movements in these four game companies?"
Zhu Ping An Rushu Jiazhen said: "Although Qingshan Game Company clamored the most intensely beforehand, they may have come back to it afterwards and started to be afraid. They have not released new games in the past few months."
"Now that the New Year is approaching, the major game official platforms have also begun to hold activities, but Fengqi, Wutong, and Baihua have also not seen any movement."
After receiving accurate feedback, Cai Gou walked to his desk and explained:
"Uncle Emperor, Stardew Valley is intended to attack Fengqi and Wutong, two companies that are deeply involved in farming and management-themed games. Even if Stardew Valley is completed, it cannot be released immediately."
"Let's do this..." Cai Gou circled around, walked behind the desk, opened the first drawer on the left, took out a document and said, "If you don't bother me with anything, take a look at this plan."
Zhu Pingan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he walked up to Cai Gou in three steps. He hurriedly took the plan, looked at the title page of the document, and saw three lines of large characters -
【Stardew Valley·SVE】
【Stardew Valley·Ridgeside Village】
【Stardew Valley·Eastscape】
Good guy!
It turns out that Brother Gou was prepared?
These are actually three large expansion DLCs for Stardew Valley?
While Zhu Pingan was flipping through the pages, Cai Gou explained: "These three large-scale expansion DLCs are very complete. One game cannot attack two game companies, but we cannot disrupt our original plan by attacking these four leading companies." plan of."
"So my idea is to launch Stardew Valley for the two game companies Fengqi and Wutong. We will release large-scale expansion DLC to attack their subsequent games. This will be the most efficient and the least burden."
"Originally, I planned to wait for the two game companies Fengqi or Wutong to release the game after the year. After we sniped one of them, we handed over the design plan to you. Since you, uncle, took the initiative, then this game design plan will be for the year. I’ll leave it to you, don’t be in a hurry, take your time.”
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an nodded excitedly and said, "Brother Gou, you told me earlier, you've hidden it deeply enough. But whether you should say it or not, your understanding of the casual farming management game is really weird."
"The original version of Stardew Valley is enough to drive players crazy. With the addition of these three DLCs, it seems that players have to stay up late to earn money. How is this a casual farming and management game? This is clearly a cybernetic game that stays up late to cultivate immortality."
Hearing this, Cai Gou raised his brows slightly and laughed loudly: "Every player is like Cyber Zhao Ziyun, full of liver. It's just a pixel style game. Where can I go?"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Zhu Ping'an acted vigorously and resolutely, picked up the document and stood up and said: "Brother Dog, I will not waste your precious time and withdraw first. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on the four leading companies at any time."
"Well, go get busy."
Cai Gou agreed and continued to deal with the documents at hand.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Cai Gou found Wu Xiu and explained the upcoming general meeting of the Sichuan Provincial Game Association, and told him: "I am going on a business trip these days."
"Uncle Huang, Monk, Feng Chu, these people are good at doing projects, but not managing companies. If there are any big or small things happening in the company these days, please keep an eye on them. If you can handle them, you can handle them yourself. If you really can't handle them, wait for a few days. I’ll come back and deal with it.”
Wu Xiu knew the importance of this responsibility and how much Cai Gou valued him. He nodded vigorously: "Brother, don't worry, I know my own weight. I will block the small things for you, and I will report the big things in time."
The next day, Cai Gou came to the Shancheng Game Association after a long absence. After processing a batch of documents on hand, he informed Liu Ruoya of his schedule.
After a few years of getting along, the relationship between the two had already come to fruition, and they were just about to break the last layer of window paper.
So when Liu Ruoya learned that Cai Gou was going to attend the Sichuan Provincial General Assembly, she took the initiative to ask: "Do you need me to accompany you?"
Cai Gou thought again and again, shook his head and said: "It's almost the New Year, and everyone has a lot of things on hand. If I leave and you leave, what will happen to the association?"
Liu Ruoya thought about it and it was really true. Fortunately, even if Cai Gou served as the president of the Sichuan Provincial Game Association, he would generally serve as the president of the Shancheng Game Association according to convention.
After the change of term, there will be changes, but they will not be too big. The two will have a long time to get along in the future, so there is no need to rush.
Liu Ruoya said, "In that case, let's have a meal together?"
"Okay, I'll drive, or to a private restaurant?"
Liu Ruoya picked up her bag and said, "Let's go there, I'm used to it."
The private restaurant was the place where the two had their first meal. As their relationship grew stronger, the two nostalgic people would choose a private restaurant every time they dated or had a meal.
After dinner and watching a movie, Cai Gou sent Liu Ruoya home.
The next day, in the morning.
Cai Gou took a plane in advance and rushed to the Sichuan Provincial Game Association.
Cai Gou's whereabouts when he rushed to the Sichuan Provincial Game Association were secretly photographed by the closely watched game circle reporters paparazzi.
The paparazzi saw Cai Gou rush to the Sichuan Provincial Game Association's headquarters, and the president Chu Tiankuo personally went out to greet him. The two shook hands and looked like they were having a good chat.
The paparazzi were overjoyed and immediately posted it on the Internet as a front-page headline to earn traffic exposure.
[Why did General Tiangong rush to the Sichuan Provincial Association during the general meeting? 】
【The end of the year is approaching, the general meeting is coming, and this meeting reveals clues? 】
【Shocked! The old president actually did this to General Tiangong! 】
The photo, accompanied by an extremely eye-catching title and copy, spread throughout the gaming circle in a short time.
Players generally only pay attention to games, not gaming associations, and will not pay attention to the general meeting of a provincial association when they have nothing to do.
So before Cai Gou's whereabouts were exposed, players did not know that the Sichuan Provincial Gaming Association's general meeting would be held at the end of the year, or even if they knew, they would just let it go in one ear and out the other, and would not take it to heart.
But...if Cai Gou will participate in this general meeting, and there is even a possibility of going further, then players' interest in this matter will increase greatly.
"Oh? No way? Lao Zei is still so young, and he has the hope of moving up to the next level?"
"I'm a newbie asking, I don't understand at all, if Lao Zei moves up to the next level, what position will he be in?"
"Thank you for the invitation, I'm abroad, just got off the plane, Lao Zei is currently the president of the Shancheng Game Association, and is also the 12th director of the Sichuan Game Association. If he moves up to the next level, there are actually two options, but it is said that the vice president of the Sichuan Game Association is about to retire. If Lao Zei can really get the job, he will most likely take over the old vice president's job."
"Tsk tsk! Lao Zei broke the record again, the youngest vice president of a provincial association in the country?"
The players' discussion really hit the nail on the head and exposed the truth.
The fact that the Sichuan Game Association is about to hold a general meeting was not originally intended to be hidden. As the incident continued to ferment, the influence expanded rapidly.
After applying to Liu Shu and getting approval, Chu Tiankuo simply decided to make the Sichuan General Meeting a simultaneous live broadcast to allow more players to participate.
[Sichuan Game Association: The popularity of this election conference is unprecedentedly high. We will implement the game plus three-step strategy to allow more players to participate. With the approval of the superior leaders, this election conference will be held in a simultaneous live broadcast]
When this scarf came out, it was like a big bomb dropped in the game circle, attracting the attention of many players.
How can you see a provincial association meeting casually on weekdays, let alone such a major event as the election conference.
The players applauded-
"What a great game! I give full marks for this operation!"
"Hey, there are unexpected surprises?"
"The Sichuan Game Association is generous, and we can't do anything wrong. No doubt, I must watch the election conference!"
The players' public opinion unanimously praised this. During the discussion of the players, the Sichuan Game Association's election conference was officially held.
The meeting was full of people. President Chu Tiankuo sat in the center of the rostrum, with three vice presidents and twelve directors on both sides, and Cai Gou also sat among them.
As soon as the live broadcast rooms of major official platforms started, a large number of players poured in. Seeing Cai Gou sitting on the stage in a suit with a serious face, they were all very excited.
I have seen many game producers, General Tiangong.
I have seen Cai Gou, the president of the Shancheng Game Association, less.
Cai Gou has lowered the average age of the leaders on the stage by himself, which can be said to be a crane standing out from the crowd.
At the beginning of the meeting, Chu Tiankuo gave a speech: "Good afternoon, colleagues of the association. I am honored to host this session of the Sichuan Game Association. Here, we must first..."
On the stage, Chu Tiankuo paid high tribute to the retiring Vice President Zhang Yang and thanked him for his outstanding contributions to the Sichuan Game Association.
Vice President Zhang Yang followed up with a farewell speech, thanking the Sichuan Game Association, a big family and a big platform, for allowing him to make a difference.
At the same time, I also thanked the colleagues of the Sichuan Game Association for their strong support, and hoped that the Sichuan Game Association and the Sichuan game industry would get better and better in the future.
After Vice President Zhang Yang finished his resignation speech, Chu Tiankuo raised the microphone and entered the important part of this election conference - the election conference.
At this meeting, Chu Tiankuo implemented the game plus three-step strategy, advocated the purpose of younger, more professional and more qualified leaders of the association, and nominated 15 middle and lower-level leaders of the association.
Although the votes were all passed, more or less people chose to oppose or abstain.
Until the end, Chu Tiankuo raised the microphone and said: "At this election conference, Cai Gou is nominated as the vice president of the Sichuan Game Association. Please vote!"
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
All the representatives of the game association raised their hands almost at the same time to agree with this nomination.
Cai Gou's nomination as vice president of the Sichuan Game Association was passed unanimously by the association.
In the live broadcast room, fans were very excited when they saw this——
"Fuck, is he really the vice president? The youngest vice president of a provincial association in the country?"
"Passed unanimously? Really passed unanimously? Isn't this cool?"
"Woo woo woo, Cai Bao, my Cai Bao, has grown up!"
"Mom fans get out, this is the world of girlfriend fans!"
"Cai Gou: Don't call me General Tiangong in the future, call me President Tiangong!"
"From today on, the old thief has one more title! Awesome——"
People are all made of flesh and blood. Cai Gou's outstanding contribution to the Sichuan Game Association this year has been seen by everyone.
If there was no Cai Gou, the music-specific game festival would never have been so successful.
If there was no Cai Gou, the national-level game industry park would never have been located in the mountain city.
If there was no Cai Gou, the game plus education special exhibition would never have become a business card for the Sichuan game industry to the outside world.
Chu Tiankuo nodded with great satisfaction, and then looked at Cai Gou: "Vice President Cai, can you say a few words?"
Cai Gou exhaled lightly, took the microphone, looked at the audience, and was filled with emotion: "Dear colleagues, elites in the game industry, and players in the live broadcast room, hello."
"Today is my first day as vice president of the Sichuan Game Association. I feel a great responsibility. At the same time, I am deeply honored to be able to witness and promote the vigorous development of the game industry with you in the future."
"As the ninth art, games not only bring endless fun to our lives, but also continue to broaden the boundaries of art and enrich the spiritual world of mankind."
"First of all, I want to emphasize that the view that games are the ninth art is not groundless."
"Games integrate multiple art forms such as literature, art, music, and film. Through interactive design, players can participate in them in person and experience unprecedented artistic feelings..."
Cai Gou's deafening speech without a script was brilliant and won applause from the audience.
People who are close to him are naturally proud and happy, and feel the same.
But the people who hate him are very angry and angry.
Little do they know that a gathering against Cai Gou is quietly kicking off.
