Young, rich, "single", easy-going, and without any arrogance, Jiang Chen naturally became the center of the party.
A lot of female streamers with "outstanding skills" repeatedly toasted Jiang Chen, which made the male players envious.
It made sense, if they could get close to a rich guy like this, it would not only save them a few years of hard work, but it would also save them a few lifetimes of hard work.
But at Jiang Chen's level, ordinary girls didn't attract his interest anymore. He accepted the toasts of the beauties in a gentlemanly manner, but he didn't respond to the obvious hints.
Because he only knew one foreign language, he didn't communicate much with foreign players, but he did chat with a few well-known domestic esports players.
For example, there was a player named Wei Wendong who suggested adding an annual or monthly arena to the open RPG MMORPG. Once the MMORPG became competitive, the passion of players to research technology and user loyalty would be much higher.
Jiang Chen humbly accepted the suggestion and said he would consider adding it in the open beta.
Many times, the veteran players might even know the strengths and weaknesses of a game better than the developers. Even if they haven't started playing yet, they at least knew what they wanted to play.
There was also a UK player who asked about the price of the helmet and the charging method of the game. Jiang Chen didn't answer the question on the spot. He only said that Future Technology would hold a press conference to announce this before the official release of the game.
After staying in the banquet hall for half an hour, Jiang Chen saw that more and more people surrounded him, so he had no choice but to leave.
He felt that if he stayed any longer, the banquet would turn into a press conference.
But there was one question he didn't answer.
It was whether the game would be a head-mounted display, body-sensing vest, and gloves, or the immersive virtual reality depicted in novels, movies, and anime.
Jiang Chen would only give one answer.
"The moment you put on the virtual reality helmet, you'll understand everything."
…
The cruise wasn't directly to Coro Island. It slowly sailed from Melbourne to the Coral Sea, docked at the Solomon Islands, and then crossed the Bismarck Sea of New Guinea to Coro Island.
The three-day cruise cost Jiang Chen 7 million USD, or 42 million RMB. On the one hand, it was to create big news to warm up the game, and on the other hand, it was to advertise Coro Island's tourism industry.
When he returned to the guest room on the cruise ship, Jiang Chen immediately sprawled out on the bed, burped, and then ripped off the tie around his neck.
What does it feel like to get drunk on champagne?
He didn't know if it was a drunken burp or a full burp, but that was probably what it felt like.
When the phone rang, Jiang Chen took out his phone from his pocket.
It was Xia Shiyu.
"Hello?"
"Are you drunk?"
"A little, what's up?" Jiang Chen unbuttoned his shirt and fanned himself.
"Mhmm, I wanted to ask how is the situation on your side?" Xia Shiyu asked with concern.
"Perfect." Jiang Chen smirked.
"Well, it seems that you're really drunk." Xia Shiyu sighed and paused. "Let's talk business. Are you free now?"
"Of course it's convenient."
Xia Shiyu cleared her throat and reported the situation to her phone.
Here's what happened.
InterContinental Hotel Group, Hilton International Hotel Group, Jumeirah, St. Regis, Four Seasons, and other international five-star hotels all sent letters of intent to Future International, hoping to cooperate on this development project.
For example, they wanted a share of the hotel business in the tourism facilities.
Jiang Chen, of course, welcomed this as he couldn't make all the money by himself. But what confused him was, based on the current situation, Fitch Ratings, Standard & Poor's, and Moody's all downgraded Xin's sovereign credit rating. Why were there still so many large groups interested in investing in Pannu Islands?
When she heard Jiang Chen's question, Xia Shiyu gave a professional explanation.
It was like a stock's trading volume was inversely proportional to the rating agency and the company's quarterly report. Risk meant profit. With the current civil war, Country F was in the midst of a civil war and didn't have the energy to deal with Xin on the issue of captives. Although the terrorist attack caused investors to cool down, Celestial Trade's emergency announcement of 200 million USD to establish a national security department made investors' enthusiasm reignite.
When it came to investing, it was always a gamble. And Xin's vitality was undoubtedly worthy of their investment.
On the other hand, due to Xin's tough attitude toward Country F, combined with the escalating South China Sea situation and the series of events such as "sitting on the beach" and "refusing to apologize," the hostility between the two countries was severe. Just like the saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," the public opinion in Hua was likely to be biased toward Xin. The impact of diplomatic relations between the two countries was usually reflected on the economic level, especially in Asia where nationalism flourished.
Without a doubt, once the 8.7 billion USD infrastructure and tourism development project was completed, it would trigger a wave of tourism dominated by Han tourists. Taking into consideration the local climate and excellent scenery.
Wealthy Han tourists and a rapidly growing economic environment.
It was almost foreseeable that as long as the new regime remained stable, this place would develop into the Maldives of the Pacific Ocean!
"Also, Xia Shiyu."
"Mhmm?"
"Are you interested in being the CEO of Future Group?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"… Are you drunk or are you speaking the truth?"
"I'm speaking the truth," Jiang Chen suppressed the hiccup and said seriously.
With a blushing face, Xia Shiyu hugged her elbow and switched to the phone.
"Can I know the reason?"
What she wanted to hear was: I want you to stay by my side.
"Because I believe in your ability," Jiang Chen said seriously.
"…"
The other side of the phone was silent for half a minute. Just as Jiang Chen was wondering why she didn't speak, Xia Shiyu sighed and facepalmed.
"… Can we wait until the virtual reality project is on the right track? I'm the most familiar with the entire project, I don't feel comfortable leaving it to someone else. "
"Of course." Jiang Chen smiled.
After he hung up the phone, Jiang Chen threw the phone on the pillow.
It was a bit lonely without Ayesha by his side. What if he went to the apocalypse to find Sun Jiao … Mhmm, he shouldn't use interdimensional travel on transportation. He might fall into the sea the next time he came back.
[I should take a shower to sober up …]
With that thought in mind, Jiang Chen sat up from the bed and walked to the bathroom.
But at this moment, the doorbell rang.
