Chapter 750: Internal Test Issues

Chen Yang had Xu Mengyao suspend the plan to acquire shops, and as the CEO's assistant went to handle the preliminary preparations for the employee community.

Besides that, Chen Yang also contacted a headhunter company in Modu, preparing to hire a manager with rich experience at high salary to replace Chu Min as CEO.

As for the electronics factory, Chen Yang currently has no plan. After all, Luo Hao's team's inspection work at the Fruit Company hasn't finished, and whether the mobile phone OEM project can be settled remains unknown.

Meanwhile, negotiations with the Liu Clan Group in Deep City have yielded no result, and the matter of acquiring the contract factory remains at the contact stage.

At this time it's not suitable to have any new major moves.

Of course, the most important thing now is the already-started internal test of the Extreme Speed Racing game. Under Chen Yang's financial bombardment, the number of internal testers has exceeded 100,000, and the positive feedback is also very high.

But as time passes, there have also been quite a few related negative news items. For example, due to graphics card incompatibility, screen display abnormalities appear; the game's tracks are overly complex and there are too many racing vehicles, causing low-spec computer players to experience frame drops or game crashes.

Moreover, because the cars in Extreme Speed Racing completely copy the automobile manufacturers' original vehicle data, some low-spec cars have obviously been neglected. Not only are the related car enthusiasts dissatisfied, but we have also received many complaints from automobile manufacturers. They unanimously believe this game affects the companies' brand image and threaten to terminate cooperation.

Under pressure, Wang Lei could only invite Chen Yang, the newly invested Tang Qingquan, and Wu Jingzhong to the company for a meeting to discuss solutions.

"Director Chen, General Manager Tang, President Wu, some automobile brand partners now demand to terminate cooperation and even sue us. What do you all think we should do?" Wang Lei looked at Chen Yang and the others somewhat helplessly. He had already explained for a long time to the automobile manufacturers' representatives and promised to make balancing adjustments on the data, but their attitude remained firm.

"General Manager Wang, I have no experience running a company, so let's just listen to your opinions!" Wu Jingzhong spoke first to distance himself. He merely wanted to use the investment opportunity to get closer to Chen Yang. As for the life or death of Extreme Speed Racing, he simply doesn't care. Even if the game makes money, could it earn more than the stock market?

"General Manager Wang, although I'm very optimistic about the Extreme Speed Racing game, I also lack experience investing in games. Let's just hear the opinions of you professionals!" Tang Qingquan also took an indifferent attitude.

Wang Lei saw this, feeling both annoyed and helpless. It turns out these two old gentlemen only want to pick up free benefits, and they don't want to exert any effort at all.

However, he also knew he couldn't afford to offend Tang Qingquan and Wu Jingzhong, so he could only look at Chen Yang with a pleading gaze. "Director Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Yang has been continuously monitoring the internal test situation of Extreme Speed Racing, and he understands the related issues very clearly. He said expressionlessly: "The game is still in the internal test phase; any problems that arise are normal. Just have the technical department hurry up and fix these issues."

"As for the automobile manufacturers, you can have the public relations department issue a notice saying that players used illegal cheats provided by competitors to maliciously modify the data. Then post some fake banned accounts on the notice, and that will serve as an explanation to the outside world."

Wang Lei, upon hearing this, was utterly impressed by Chen Yang's adaptability. Throwing the blame onto competitors, even if Three Stone Technology Company bears responsibility, it would be secondary. This way, there remains room for communication with the automobile manufacturers.

"Director Chen, your idea is good. However, we not only need to deal with players using cheats, but also need to find two scapegoats in the technical department. Otherwise, it will be hard to appease those automobile manufacturers."

Chen Yang nodded and said: "Just come up with a few names at random. After all, those automobile manufacturers have never seen anyone from the technical department. They only want to see our attitude in handling this incident."

Wang Lei himself also had no intention of handling the technical department, and immediately agreed with Chen Yang's suggestion. However, he still had some concerns: "Director Chen, given this situation, should we temporarily suspend the internal test to avoid more problems?"

Chen Yang shook his head and said: "The internal test is precisely to let players help find problems. We not only cannot pause, but we should also give bonuses to players who discover issues. Before the public test, the more problems we can resolve now, the fewer troubles later."

Wang Lei deeply agreed. He seriously asked Chen Yang: "Then how should we set the bonus?"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and said: "Minor issues get a cash reward of ten yuan, major issues fifty yuan, and serious bug issues directly receive five hundred yuan. But this five hundred yuan must come from the technical department. After all, this is a major dereliction of duty on their work."

Wang Lei highly agreed with Chen Yang's suggestion. He can use the technical department's dereliction of duty as an excuse to fool the automobile manufacturers, but that doesn't mean he can truly tolerate the technical department's dereliction. For a game prepared so long, if there are still serious bugs, the entire technical department will have to be overhauled.

"Director Chen, General Manager Tang, President Wu, I'll go handle these matters first. I hope to settle all the troubles before the public test." Seeing that a plan was already in place, Wang Lei didn't want to waste time, so he greeted Chen Yang and the others and ended the meeting.

Wang Lei's decisive work attitude made Chen Yang very satisfied. Just as he was about to get up and leave the meeting room together, the previously silent Wu Jingzhong suddenly called out to him.

"Director Chen, do you have time to talk?"

Chen Yang doesn't like to socialize too much with Wu Jingzhong and Tang Qingquan, but he still showed a slight smile and said to Wu Jingzhong: "President Wu, I've been busy with work lately; if it's not very important, let's postpone it!"

Wu Jingzhong laughed and said: "Outside rumors say Director Chen plans to invest twenty billion in Green Bank, Pine River, and Fujian Action District to build employee communities and electronics factories; I don't know if it's true."

Chen Yang wasn't surprised that Wu Jingzhong knew this news. After all, Tang Qingquan's father is also a deputy mayor of Modu, so it's impossible he wouldn't know about such a major project. And Wu Jingzhong himself likewise has an official background.

"President Wu, I indeed have this idea, but an investment of twenty billion is a bit exaggerated. With such a sum, directly investing in commercial buildings or residential properties in the urban area would be far better, with returns that are immeasurable."

Chen Yang said this mainly because he worries that Wu Jingzhong and Tang Qingquan might see profit and also get involved. The more people participate in a project, the more uncertain factors there are.

Upon hearing that Chen Yang is also interested in investing in the urban area, Wu Jingzhong directly said: "Director Chen, I happen to have a piece of land; if you're interested, we can cooperate to develop it."

Chen Yang immediately hesitated. Although Wu Jingzhong and Tang Qingquan have had grudges with him, after Wang Zhishan stepped in, their relations have eased considerably. From a businessman's perspective, as long as there are shared interests, cooperation is still possible.

However, he currently lacks sufficient manpower. It's fundamentally impossible to oversee two large real‑estate projects at once. And Wu Jingzhong is a deep‑schemed person; even if he personally takes charge, he dares not guarantee he won't be sabotaged.
