60: Is this guy really only in his twenties?

Currently, the only company in the domestic market that can rival Blue Fox Company is Ouyou Communication, which originated from game development.

However, its young boss is extremely flamboyant and has publicly declared that he will never allow any company to invest in his shares.

Other businesses of Far East Group also tried to invest in Aoyou Tianxia Company, but Xu Lian flatly refused them all.

In other words, Gu Ruoxi's actions are tantamount to pushing Blue Fox Company into a dead end.

"Alright, that's enough for now. You go attend to your work."

After the secretary left, Gu Ruoxi rubbed her temples, feeling a bit agitated.

How could she not know how foolish her actions were? It was like throwing away billions of assets for nothing.

But she did it all for Yu Waner.

Yu Waner works at Ouyou Company, so she had no choice but to do this.

Three months ago, Yu Waner moved out of the villa.

At first, Gu Ruoxi thought the girl was just having a tantrum and would come back in a few days.

For safety, she even arranged for people to secretly protect Yu Waner.

Later, she learned from the bodyguards that the girl had spent the first night at a netizen's house and on the second day, she even wanted to apply for a Designer position.

Gu Ruoxi never expected that the girl would not only not return home but also find a job outside.

What surprised her even more was that the fellow actually passed the interview.

So, Gu Ruoxi found the boss of the game company where Yu Waner applied, and it turned out to be Xu Lian, who had been a hot topic in both the business and gaming circles recently.

After some consideration, Gu Ruoxi thought it wouldn't be bad to let Yu Waner venture out on her own, as it would help temper her personality.

Thus, she sold a high-quality office building she owned to Xu Lian at a low price, conveniently located across from the Far East Group's financial street.

After two months of covert observation, Gu Ruoxi found that the girl was not only becoming more enthusiastic about her work but also getting along well with her superiors and colleagues.

Every time she saw the videos and photos sent by the bodyguards, Yu Waner was always laughing and chatting with a young man and another girl.

If Ouyou Company's communication software were to be ruined by Blue Fox Company because of her, Yu Waner would definitely hate her to death.

Therefore, Gu Ruoxi could only harden her heart and give up on helping Blue Fox Company.

Once Blue Fox Communications collapses, Ouyou Communication will definitely rise to the occasion, replacing Blue Fox as the top communication software in the country, and even performing better.

"Is this guy really only in his twenties?"

Gu Ruoxi stroked her chin, muttering to herself.

As Yu Waner's boss, Xu Lian naturally became the subject of Gu Ruoxi's investigation.

In Jianghai City, it was effortless for Gu Ruoxi to investigate someone's background.

What surprised her was that Xu Lian had no background whatsoever and grew up in an orphanage.

Such a person, with no backing, managed to carve out a niche in the game market and even launched the highly successful Ouyou Communication software.

Gu Ruoxi didn't understand the intricacies of games; she only looked at which game company had good data and then had her own company invest money.

However, Xu Lian's company's operating model left a deep impression on her; it didn't seem like an idea a twenty-something could come up with.

Those tactics were more like strategies developed by seasoned veterans who had been in the business world for many years.

"It seems there's no rush to call her back for now."

Looking at the trending topics on Weibo dominated by "Dungeon & Fighter," Gu Ruoxi smiled and sighed.

...

After a full day of work, Xu Lian finally returned home.

"Phew~ The new version will be online in just one more day."

Xu Lian lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, muttering with anticipation.

Now his game company is gradually getting on track, and the staff is expanding, with each person being a capable expert.

If this trend continues, it's only a matter of time before his company establishes a firm foothold in the gaming industry!

"Should I make other games during the summer vacation?"

Last time he drew, he got data for several mini-games, and even an adult-rated mobile game.

Xu Lian alone could finish and release these things in just half a day.

"Forget it, let's wait until later."

Xu Lian suppressed the urge.

Everyone will be busy with the new version's release next.

If these mini-games were completed and released now, the backend management workload would double.

The company's current staffing is still quite small, so this can only be considered after the team is more robust.

As for that adult-rated mobile game, Xu Lian plans to try releasing it.

He had also researched the market performance of such games in this world, and the response was quite good.

However, to play this type of game, players must register with their real names and be at least 18 years old.

Many game companies have made a fortune relying on such themes.

Even if this game is released, players will not despise it; instead, they will find it refreshing.

Once the company's operations are stable in all aspects, he can produce and launch this game onto the market.

Making money is never shameful.

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

To ensure that the new versions of crossfire and dungeon could be launched on time on the first day of summer vacation, Xu Lian and his three partners had been working overtime for an entire day.

It was almost 11 PM, with less than fifteen minutes until the official start of summer vacation.

At midnight, major game developers would launch their carefully prepared summer activities and new products.

Summer vacation is when players are most active, and no company wants to miss this opportunity.

Every year at this time, companies are like hunters waiting for a school of fish, excitedly anticipating attracting players to experience their works.

Therefore, there were quite a few game planners and programmers like Xu Lian pulling all-nighters coding at this moment.

In these two months, just a trailer alone allowed crossfire's pre-registration numbers to exceed 300 million.

This is an astonishing figure, directly equivalent to crossfire's peak online player count previously.

It truly is a passionate war of 300 million mice!

Thanks to the success of Dungeon & Fighter, nearly half of the domestic game players got to know Xu Lian and his Aoyou Tianxia Game Company.

Coupled with Xu Lian's approachable and down-to-earth management style, and the extraordinary demeanor he displayed by exploring dungeon areas with ordinary players without any airs.

It also piqued players' interest in trying out this new communication application.

Currently, the Ouyou APP has reached 400 million user downloads.

In just two short months, it successfully became the second-largest chat tool in the country.

All of this is attributed to the successful implementation of the bundled marketing strategy.

"It's almost midnight. Are there any friends from Server 6? Let's go clear the Ancient Ruins dungeon together! If we're lucky enough to find a mythical-grade Apophis Demon Sword, we'll be financially free tonight!"
