Chapter 244: Strong Enemy

Lu Yu had long since stopped viewing problems solely from his own perspective.

Since the establishment of Ke Da's laboratory, Lu Yu has been trying to cultivate more talent.

Because he deeply knew that in the near future, talent would be the greatest competitiveness.

Only with more talent capable of standing on their own could Lu Yu possibly do more things.

So, when Lu Yu thought about how to develop Penguin, he subconsciously thought of more.

On one hand, he would take this as a main force for developing Penguin; on the other hand, he also wanted to cultivate talent in the process.

This is probably what happens when a person stands at a higher level—they think of farther places, right?

……

When Lu Yu handed over the plan to Grand's Technical Department One, all the employees became excited.

During this time, they had actually been exploring new directions, wanting to create a sufficiently excellent game.

Their previous failure made them feel troubled and guilty.

But the more this happened, the more they discovered that they…… lacked ability!

Only with a deeper understanding of the gaming industry did they realize how impressive the games Lu Yu made were.

Using the simplest game rules, they nonetheless created the most moving game.

Even genius is insufficient to describe Lu Yu.

Lu Yu smiled, glanced at everyone, and said, "Put aside your current tasks and focus your energy on completing Adventure Island."

"Although you are completing a game according to my plan, in this process you can accumulate experience and even gain inspiration during production. This is a very good learning process."

"Moreover, if you encounter any trouble or have any new ideas during the game's production, you can tell me."

Lu Yu was indeed earnestly cultivating the employees of Technical Department One.

Everyone felt Lu Yu's painstaking efforts and expressed their thanks.

Lu Yu then said a few more words to everyone and left.

After Lu Yu left, the employees of Technical Department One quickly gathered their focus and placed their attention on Lu Yu's plan.

About an hour later, most of the employees had finished reading the plan and had their own thoughts.

They glanced at each other.

Finally, it was unknown who first broke the silence.

"Lu Yu…… is he still human?"

Then…… Technical Department One fell into silence again.

Because no one could give an answer.

……

"Little Yu, you plan to put this game on Penguin, right?" After leaving Technical Department One, Lu Yu came to Chen Qiao's office.

Lu Yu lightly nodded.

Chen Qiao pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Little Yu, have you ever thought about letting Penguin also have a technical department dedicated to making games?"

Lu Yu's brow involuntarily twitched slightly as he fell into thought.

Lu Yu knew Chen Qiao did not think placing the game on Penguin was a harm to Grand's interests.

In fact, Grand's games placed on Penguin, but the operating rights actually belonged to Grand, and even most of the revenue would return to Grand.

Therefore, Grand placing its games on Penguin not only incurred no loss, but brought many benefits.

Chen Qiao's words actually had several meanings.

First, after all, Penguin and Grand are two separate platforms; Grand has to manage the games on the Penguin platform, which involves many complications.

Second, Penguin's revenue is not high enough. Although the behind-the-scenes bosses of both Grand and Penguin can be said to be Lu Yu, and Lu Yu can indeed transfer funds from Grand to Penguin, but……

After all, these are still two companies, with no subordinate relationship; ideally, their accounts should be clear.

Third, these matters would affect outsiders' evaluation of Penguin's capabilities.

Actually, there are many small aspects that need consideration.

"I understand, I will have Penguin quickly set up a game development department, or directly acquire some studios." Lu Yu lightly nodded, agreeing with Chen Qiao's statement.

Chen Qiao also nodded, then said, "Right, lately I've been putting more thought into establishing the culture department, and now I have some results."

"I have already recruited some writers with relatively great fame to our side."

Next, Chen Qiao talked about Grand's recent development.

Lu Yu listened patiently and occasionally gave his own opinions.

Overall, Grand's development is quite good.

Believe that Grand will reach its peak earlier than in its original history.

As for the downhill road……

With Lu Yu present, while it cannot be said to completely avoid decline, it can certainly raise Grand's ceiling, allowing Grand to maintain its extremely high position for a longer time.

……

Over the next one or two weeks, Lu Yu would occasionally come to Grand to check on the game development progress of Technical Department One.

Of course, Lu Yu spent more of his time at the mobile phone system R&D center.

And just two weeks later today, a major incident suddenly occurred online.

A company called Hidden Dragon Technology suddenly announced loudly that they would promote a new social software in Huaxia.

Originally this wasn't anything newsworthy, but after Penguin's rise, many internet companies actually turned their attention to social software.

But because Penguin's development speed was too fast, it occupied a sufficient share.

Some other social software hadn't even been released before they died in the womb.

And the social software that was forcibly launched didn't even stir a ripple.

But this Hidden Dragon Technology company is clearly not ordinary.

All major portal websites have placed a piece of news at the top of their headlines.

"This Sunday, Hidden Dragon Technology will hold a press conference. Is Penguin finally going to end its dominance of social software?"

"Just what background does Hidden Dragon Technology have? It actually dares to challenge Penguin!"

"Is this just another publicity stunt, or is it full of ambition?"

This is the headline news of all major portal websites.

It is quite obvious that all major portal websites are simultaneously releasing such news—not because they are particularly interested, but because there is a huge force behind it!

In other words, Hidden Dragon Technology perhaps possesses an unimaginable foundation!

Because of this news, Xiao Ma even called Lu Yu immediately to inquire.

When Lu Yu received Xiao Ma's call, he was still at Ke Da, looking bewildered.

After finishing the call with Xiao Ma, Lu Yu immediately went online to check the news, and then called Chen Qiao.

"I had never heard of this company before."

"Just now I asked friends, and it turns out that hardly anyone knows the people at this company."

"The only thing we can find out is that this company was just established, and its registered capital is one hundred million!"

"I heard there is also foreign involvement behind it."

Chen Qiao said as such.
