Liu Tong said: "Since Penguin removed our game, game traffic has dropped by one-third!"
Zhu An raised his glasses habitually. After working at high intensity for more than a month, he became thinner and his temperament became calmer. Seriously, he really sounds like a little leader.
He said: "This is just one aspect. We have already negotiated with several advertisers. Because of this incident, cooperation negotiations have been suspended. It is estimated that they are all waiting to see the situation."
Lu Zixin nodded, he understood the situation. Now that Penguin Games is suddenly in trouble, the company is facing a crisis and has only three options.
The first is compromise. If he compromised and agreed to Penguin Game's conditions, Lu Zixin would never accept it.
The second is to have a big tree at your back so you can enjoy the shade, and to form alliances with other game companies. But in this way, a lot of cake will also have to be divided.
Third, it’s a tough front. This choice is the most difficult, and in the eyes of the employees of Hongxin Company, it is almost impossible to operate.
Going head-to-head with Penguin Games? is it possible? That’s a domestic Internet giant! Their small company, which had been established for less than three months, was like a little ant in front of the other party, with no chance of winning.
Liu Tong and Zhu An both looked at Lu Zixin, waiting for his decision. Lu Zixin slapped the table and said: "Since they want to compete with us, let's do it with them!"
"The market has proven that our games are more popular!"
After hearing Lu Zixin's decision, Liu Tong and Zhu An looked at each other, somewhat reluctant to agree.
Liu Tong said tactfully: "Mr. Lu, I think we should make a compromise. Some other game platforms have already contacted us. We are more confident in cooperating with them!"
Zhu An also suggested: "Our current strength is too weak, and a head-on confrontation with the penguins will probably be miserable."
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Zixin asked, "If we compromise this time, what about next time? My purpose is very clear. Even if I temporarily lose some of my interests, I will do it!"
If Lu Zixin wanted to make a fortune, he would have packaged and sold the company and the game long ago. His goal is to create a huge technology company!
No matter who you face, don’t be afraid! There are already two technology giants behind him, so what are you afraid of
"If there is a problem, report it to me and I will find a way to solve it." Lu Zixin's tone was clearly decided and there was no room for doubt.
Liu Tong and Zhu An were helpless, but they could only do as they were told. Facing the Penguin Game, I'm afraid it will be severely damaged! They just hope it doesn't get as bad as they imagined.
On the Internet, Penguin’s series of actions also aroused heated discussions among netizens.
"Penguins are really special. They are so cruel. Use this trick on "Wild God of War"! It will be difficult for them to deal with them now!"
"Yes, I originally logged in with a Penguin account, but it doesn't work now. I have to re-register. How many players will "Wild God of War" lose?"
"That's not all. Several Penguin-controlled live broadcast platforms have now closed the live broadcast channels of "Wild Gods of War". It is also said to be censorship. Haha, this is to pull out the bottom of the cauldron and cut off their publicity channels!"
There are also people who have things that have nothing to do with themselves. "It's none of my business. Penguin's two mobile chicken games will be released at the same time tomorrow. It's really awesome! I hope it's more fun than "Wild God of War"!"
"Wow, my favorite star recorded a promotional video for them, I have to play!"
"There are many activities. If you play Penguin's chicken-fighting mobile game tomorrow, you will get the skin of "Honor of Kings" for free!" There are also countless primary school students who are inspired by the news.
Major game companies are also watching from the sidelines.
"Penguin is still as domineering as ever!"
"Tsk, tsk, this Hongxin Games is too tough, isn't it? It actually chooses to confront Penguin. He who doesn't know is fearless!"
"Look at the next week! The mobile game popularity list is probably going to change again!"
"When the popularity of "Wild Gods" drops, we will send someone to contact them. It is best to acquire them! It is most suitable for such a good game to be in our hands."
…
Things had just begun, at six o'clock in the afternoon. At this point in time, the number of online game players began to skyrocket. Students were off school and office workers were off work and had time to play games.
But at this time, a big event happened at Hongxin Game Company.
"Manager Zhu, it's an emergency!" the staff reported, "The server exploded because there were too many players!"
This is what Zhu An is responsible for. If the server of a game is unstable, it will greatly affect the player experience.
He quickly asked: "Which server?"
"Everyone!" the employee said anxiously, "Three minutes ago, all the servers of our mobile games were overwhelmed!"
"All?" Zhu An smelled something bad. All servers exploded, which meant that the game would be shut down in a short time!
For players, this is a very bad experience. It is conceivable that there will be no shortage of abusive voices.
And the most important thing is that "Wild God of War" is now being sniped by Penguin Games. There are so many similar products on the game market. Without their games, players can still play others. If you subtract and add like this, your popularity will be a huge blow.
Zhu An quickly said: "Immediately issue an announcement saying that the server is being shut down for emergency maintenance and the development time is to be determined. For any inconvenience caused to players, appropriate game currency compensation will be given."
"Okay." The employee immediately went to execute it.
Zhu An, on the other hand, quickly contacted the computer room. Hongxin Game Company, due to financial problems, currently does not have its own computer room, and all servers are rented.
"What? There's nothing you can do?" Zhu An contacted the computer room, and they actually said there was nothing they could do.
"We have signed a contract, and you must resolve it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be a violation of the contract!" Zhu An said righteously.
"Don't worry, we are processing it urgently."
"Give me a specific time, how long?"
"I'm sorry, we need to find the problem first before we know it." The staff in the computer room returned.
Zhu An was very angry. How did they make such a big mistake
He had no choice but to quickly report this problem to Lu Zixin.
"Mr. Lu, this is the situation. There is a problem in the computer room, and now we are not sure when the server will be turned on." Zhu An said.
Just after he finished his report, Liu Tong walked in and reported: "Mr. Lu, we just discovered a problem. There are a large number of black accounts crowding the server, causing network congestion. Moreover, the official website of our game was also attacked by hackers! They also attempted to attack the company's network!"
"Someone is causing trouble!" How could Lu Zixin not understand that someone was clearly messing with their company secretly.
"We have already taken emergency measures, but we cannot deal with the problems of the computer room and hackers for the time being." Liu Tong said helplessly, "Should we invite foreign aid?"
"No need." Lu Zixin asked, "Has our new computer room been built?"
Zhu An said: "We have found a place and installed the network, but we haven't bought the machine yet."
This is what Lu Zixin explained early in the morning, that he must have his own computer room.
"Well, you go take care of other things first. I'll take care of the computer room and hacker matters," Lu Zixin said.
Zhu An and Liu Tong are both confused. Mr. Lu will solve it? How does he solve it? This is no small thing that one person can accomplish!
