Chapter 256

"But I don't understand games."

Pony Ma was still a little hesitant.

If the communication company hadn't made so much money, he would definitely have done it directly.

After all, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

But the communication company had finally earned 1 billion, and if they made games and lost it all...

"Who said you need to understand games to make games?"

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and spoke lazily.

This is interesting.

As soon as Chen Mo finished this sentence, Pony Ma began to ponder, and a few seconds later, his eyes lit up!

"That's right, I can copy!"

Pony Ma's expression was as excited as if he had discovered a new continent.

"I don't need to understand games at all. Whatever game is popular, I'll just replicate one based on that game. It even saves the cost of testing whether the game is popular. Once we succeed, we can just buy the copyright then."

The more he spoke, the more excited Pony Ma's expression became.

If games could really be made like this, it would be equivalent to getting something for nothing.

He only needed to replicate the hottest games and adapt them into games suitable for Chinese people to play.

"Chen Mo, you are truly a genius!"

Chen Mo was quite speechless.

He hadn't said that at all.

He actually meant that they should just hire a group of people who know how to make games to make games. Whether they understand games or not didn't matter.

It can only be said that Pony Ma is worthy of being Pony Ma.

After chatting with Chen Mo for a while longer, Pony Ma couldn't hide his inner excitement and caught the earliest flight back to notify the technical staff to start making games.

"Xuanwu" and "Feiche" were originally launched in 2008, which is next year.

Starting production at the beginning of 2007, they could be launched in half a year.

Most importantly, CF and LOL, especially LOL.

As soon as these two games were launched, Communication could firmly sit in the top position of the gaming industry in the country, and the money from player top-ups alone could bring in hundreds of millions every year.

Especially LOL.

The development value of this game is very high. If it goes smoothly, they can also use LOL to build up the e-sports industry later, and then they can develop another way to make money.

So if possible, he hoped to poach some professional talent from other game companies.

And all these preparations require money.

"Hey, Dad, do you have any money on hand? Invest some more into Communication to make games."

Game (CF/BF) production requires a large amount of capital. With Communication's current funds, it's enough to make games, but the development speed will be very slow.

To make games as quickly as possible and occupy the market, a large amount of capital still needs to be invested.

Chen Fu is currently not lacking in funds at all. Upon hearing Chen Mo ask him to invest some more money,

without a word, he threw in several hundred million more.

"If it's not enough, tell Dad, and Dad will invest more."

Chen Fu said generously.

This is the extravagance of the richest man in China.

The news of Chen Mo crazily throwing money to let Communication make games soon spread out.

Major media outlets scrambled to report it.

"Chen Mo throws hundreds of millions to develop games; is it investment or addiction to entertainment?"

"A puzzling investment; will Chen Mo lose everything?"

"Supporting the gaming industry? Chen Mo suspected of going down the wrong path."

"Will it have a negative impact on teenagers? Chen Mo's another investment plan."

News about Chen Mo began to fly everywhere again.

The public's view on this matter was not very good, especially since many media outlets, in order to gain popularity, deliberately added oil and vinegar to their headlines.

In this era, the attitude towards games was not that open yet.

Many fans also didn't understand why Chen Mo didn't just focus on acting and staying in the entertainment industry, instead of crossing over to make games.

And he was even investing money for Communication to make games.

Many fans on the Tieba forum expressed doubts.

"No way, what good games can be made domestically?"

"Chen Mo is going to lose this time."

"Can't he just focus on acting? If not, release an album."

"Can't figure it out, and don't understand."

"I still prefer to see Chen Mo stay in the entertainment industry."

The reaction both domestically and internationally was huge.

Not just because of Chen Mo's move to make games, but also because there hadn't been any good online games produced domestically.

No one believed that a popular game would appear domestically.

Chen Mo was just throwing money away for nothing.

This storm was not small, but no one around Chen Mo persuaded him to stop his actions; after all, Chen Mo's persona since childhood had been unconventional.

This little storm actually helped him establish his persona.

While the domestic storm was raging, Chen Mo was still filming peacefully in Hollywood.

The early filming process of this movie was very free; Chen Mo could freely drive sports cars and rampage on the street, or play golf on a fighter jet.

He even spent a lot of money at auctions for many precious jewels, using them as worthless marbles in the movie to decorate his home.

"What are you doing?"

It was finally time for a break, and Chen Mo wanted Xu Xiaofeng to get him a bottle of water.

He saw this little girl covering her eyes very seriously.

"I don't want to see spoilers, I want to go to the cinema to watch this movie."

Xu Xiaofeng answered very seriously.

While accompanying Chen Mo during filming, Xu Xiaofeng found that the plot of this movie was becoming more and more attractive to her.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Mo needed her as an assistant, she would even want to cover her ears.

Chen Mo was caught between laughter and tears.

"In the end, I held a grenade and perished with the zombies."

He approached Xu Xiaofeng with a mischievous smile, teasing his little assistant.

He told her the original ending.

"Ahhh! You're bad!"

Xu Xiaofeng originally wanted to cover her ears to avoid hearing Chen Mo's spoilers, but it was already too late.

She sniffled her pink little nose, pouted her lips, and looked like she was about to cry from grievance.

Chen Mo is really bad.

She had originally wanted to save it for the cinema to watch this movie seriously.

Every time she saw Chen Mo filming so seriously on set, she didn't want to know how Chen Mo filmed the next scene; she wanted to fully appreciate his performance in the cinema.

Now it's ruined.

Spoiled completely.

"Are you really crying?"

Chen Mo looked at his little assistant who was really teased to tears by him, and shook his head with a smile on his lips.

"Then what if I tell you that this is just the ending of the regular version, and there is a specially produced version of the ending?"

He handed a piece of paper to Xu Xiaofeng.

"Really?"

Xu Xiaofeng still had tears hanging on her eyes, and she looked up at Chen Mo with her big, watery eyes.

In an instant, she suddenly realized that she was very close to Chen Mo.

So close that she only needed to get a little closer to kiss Chen Mo's lips...

"I'll go pour you some water!"

Before Chen Mo could speak, Xu Xiaofeng stood up from the chair with a 'swoosh' and ran away with a blushing face.

Her heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

Chen Mo looked at the startled Xu Xiaofeng and scratched his head.
