Chapter 702

Wang Lei worked efficiently, setting up the office in just three days.

Next, he moved the entire technical department of Three Stone Technology to Xingcheng.

To let everyone work peacefully, Chen Yang vacated the vacant apartments in Sunflower Garden Community for them to use as dormitories.

Then he went to the provincial government to visit Liu Jianghua.

"Chen Yang, I heard you poached Three Stone Company to Xingcheng. Not bad!" Although Liu Jianghua was busy, he still paid close attention to Chen Yang's every move.

Chen Yang asked Liu Jianghua with a smile: "Governor, Three Stone Technology has come all the way from Modu; shouldn't we give them some preferential policies?"

Liu Jianghua readily said: "I've already greeted the relevant departments; you get a three-year tax exemption."

Chen Yang repeatedly expressed his thanks, then said: "We are developing a nationwide large-scale racing game. After the game goes online, we may need to build a large data center, requiring at least a thousand servers. I don't know if the province can provide some power support."

Liu Jianghua was somewhat surprised by Chen Yang's ambition. Although he didn't understand games, he knew that the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform also used over a thousand large servers. Such a scale indicates that the expected number of online players for this racing game is at least six figures.

This made him suddenly have a bit of hope for the future of Three Stone Technology Company in Dongjiang Province.

"Fine, as long as you can develop a nationwide popular game. I'll arrange the best guarantees for power and network."

Chen Yang expressed his thanks again.

With Liu Jianghua's support, this racing game developed by Three Stone Technology Company will surely defeat the already open-tested KartRider and become the nation's most popular competitive game.

After returning to the company, Chen Yang gave Wang Lei a new task: to negotiate game licensing with all automobile manufacturers worldwide.

As a large-scale racing game, it is inevitable to use racing cars of various brands worldwide. If the license is not obtained, the game is still in testing phase, and the company's legal department will already be flooded with lawyer's letters.

To let Wang Lei negotiate abroad with peace of mind, Chen Yang brought Chu Min back to Modu to guard the headquarters of Three Stone Technology for him.

But just as he arrived at the company, someone came to accuse him.

"Director Chen, if you can't get the agency rights and instead poach our programmers, that's a bit unscrupulous," said Sunpeng, the vice general manager of S Company. Considering that Chen Yang's Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company had sponsored KartRider with twenty million, he was still speaking politely.

Chen Yang didn't expect S Company's move to be so quick; he feigned confusion and replied: "Vice General Manager Sunpeng, I don't quite understand what you mean; is there a misunderstanding?"

Seeing Chen Yang still pretending ignorance, Sunpeng patiently said: "Director Chen, our game developer N Company recently had some programmers resign suddenly, and these former employees were later found working at your company. I came today to seek an explanation from General Manager Wang."

"Is that so?" Chen Yang deliberately frowned, then called Three Stone Technology's Human Resources Manager Ceng Caiyun to his office. In front of Sunpeng, he questioned Ceng Caiyun: "Manager Ceng, I heard the company recently hired a few former N Company employees; is that true?"

Ceng Caiyun immediately shook her head: "Director Chen, I don't know where you heard that; our company has no plan to hire new employees after the year."

Upon hearing that, Chen Yang immediately said to Sunpeng: "Vice General Manager Sunpeng, could your information be wrong?"

Seeing Chen Yang feign ignorance together with the Human Resources Department Manager, Sunpeng grew a bit angry and said: "Director Chen, stop putting on a double act. The information came from someone at your company, and I have photos as proof; it's definitely not false." After saying that, he handed a stack of photos to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang looked at them and indeed they were photos of a few Korean programmers. He then pretended to be angry and scolded Ceng Caiyun: "Manager Ceng, how could you let unrelated personnel visit our technical department? If confidential information leaks, can you bear responsibility?"

Ceng Caiyun was stunned, but quickly reacted: "Director Chen, sorry, this is our management oversight. We will definitely not let unrelated personnel enter the company's core area again."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, then said to Sunpeng: "Vice General Manager Sunpeng, since Manager Ceng said the company didn't hire new people, there certainly aren't any. The people in the photos you provided are likely technical department staff who privately brought visitors. We will surely deal seriously with the employee who violated company regulations."

Seeing Chen Yang dismiss responsibility lightly, Sunpeng's anger could no longer be contained: "Director Chen, you're also a prominent figure. The evidence is solid, yet you still want to make excuses. Then we'll only see each other in court."

Chen Yang said calmly: "Vice General Manager Sunpeng, just based on a few photos you claim we poached your people; I could also sue your company for defamation."

Sunpeng snorted: "Director Chen, if you act upright and stand tall, let me inspect the technical department. If they're not there, I'll apologize to you in person."

Chen Yang said to Ceng Caiyun: "Manager Ceng, Vice General Manager Sunpeng is a friend of General Manager Wang. Since he wants to visit the technical department, please fulfill his wish."

Ceng Caiyun was somewhat impressed by Chen Yang's ability to spout nonsense with a straight face. The technical department staff have all been transferred to Xingcheng; where can she find someone for Sunpeng to visit?

However, after Wang Lei left, he also gave her an idea.

Director Chen, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Vice President Sun. Because the company currently has no R&D projects, the technical department staff have all gone to Yunnan Province for team building, and they might not be back to report for half a month.

Chen Yang, upon hearing this, pretended to be angry and said: "Manager Zeng, I've invested so much money in your company. You're not working hard to develop games, and you're letting the technical department staff go on trips. This is too disrespectful to investors! When General Manager Wang returns, I'll have a good talk with him!"

After saying that, he again complained to Sunpeng: "Vice President Sun, is the investment environment in Modu always like this? Then I really need to consider whether to continue investing here."

Seeing that Chen Yang wouldn't even let him go to the technical department, Sunpeng no longer had the mind for idle chatter. He wasn't visiting Three Stone Technology Company for the first time; he already knew where the technical department was.

Director Chen, no matter how you argue, I must go to the technical department today. After saying that, he didn't care whether Chen Yang agreed or not, and directly led his people rushing to the technical department.

This time Chen Yang didn't have the security stop people. The technical department staff are all in Xingcheng, so even if Sunpeng searched the entire company, he wouldn't be able to find anyone.

What he's more concerned about now is still the mole inside the company. If this person isn't rooted out, the plan for this new game will probably have to be adjusted as well.
