Chapter 1449: Extremist K1

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the same time, at Shang Yang Games…

Wang Xiaobin was in the entertainment room at that moment. He was happily drinking Coca Cola while playing ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’.

How blissful!

This happiness had been going on for several days ever since he returned from the torturous trip. What’s more, it showed no signs of dissipating.

For some reason, he felt like his soul had been elevated. In the past, he had not thought that working was a happy thing. Now, he suddenly enjoyed it.

There was a sense of happiness and satisfaction both in work and in playing games. It was really a little magical.

Based on his calculations, the Chinese New Year holiday would start in three or four days.

This also meant that from December last year, Wang Xiaobin had not been working in the company for more than three days. First, he had suffered two months of paid work. After returning from work for a few days, he should be on holiday.

A person who wanted to work hard was always troubled by various holidays.

Sigh, how annoying!

The key was that after he returned, the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ had been completed. There was nothing else for him to do. Apart from playing games, he had nothing else to do.

That was quite uncomfortable.

As he was driving, he heard footsteps outside the lounge. Ye Zhizhou walked in with a document in hand.

Wang Xiaobin immediately stopped playing the game. He stood up and asked, “Has the cooperation plan with Stamford and Shenhua been finalized?”

Ye Zhizhou nodded. “Yes, it’s been finalized. It’s very efficient.”

Wang Xiaobin was not surprised.

Shenhua, Steff, and Tengda could be said to be working together by force. They would easily win three games. With Lin Wan’s relationship, the cooperation would definitely be very smooth.

He was more concerned about the specific cooperation plan.

Ye Zhizhou pulled a random chair over and sat down. Then, he handed the document in his hand to Wang Xiaobin.

Wang Xiaobin flipped through it. This was the specific plan for the three parties to cooperate.

“So, this new brand’s name is called Extremist? This mass-produced car is called Extremist K1?”

Ye Zhizhou nodded. “Yes, there are three meanings to the name ‘Extremist’.”

“First of all, from the literal meaning, there is a sharp image that emphasizes a state of making technology to the extreme and showing its edge.”

“Secondly, extreme would make people think about electrodes, and the sharp edge would think about the Blade battery that Stamford is about to release.”

“Lastly, the extreme wind is a special term in terms of climate. It is a large cold wind, a semi-permanent sharp wind between the extreme air group and the tropical air group. It is the line between the cold extreme airflow and the tropical airflow. There are often cyclones, heavy rain, and strong wind. It also heralds that this car will bring new trends to domestic car companies. It will be a collision between tradition and new trends.”

“This car logo is also derived from this meaning.”

“As for the K1 model, it means that there will be three types of cars under the branding of Extreme Peak. They will be the K series of regular household cars, the L series of long comfortable cars, and the M series of dynamic sports cars. Only the K series will be released this time.”

Wang Xiaobin looked at the car logo and realized that it was made up of two parts: the bottom layer was a cold V, and there were two semi-circular arcs on the upper layer of the V, which was “) (“, which intersected with this V.

V represented cold wind and sinking cold airflow, while “) (” represented rising hot airflow.

Cold and hot air converged. This was the extremity.

Wang Xiaobin nodded. “Yes… I think this name sounds much better than Steff. It’s easy to remember and has a good metaphor. Most importantly, this logo is quite good. It also suits the future of the new energy car.”

He flipped through the document. “AEEIS system and AEEIS voice package on the car for user selection? Good lord, is that appropriate?”

Ye Zhizhou smiled. “How could it not be? AEEIS has already achieved great success in smart homes and cell phone assistants. Its image is deeply ingrained in people’s hearts.”

“What’s more, AEEIS is only an option. You don’t have to use it if you don’t like it.”

Wang Xiaobin thought for a moment. “Then if I meet a car owner on the road who is driving randomly and I don’t know how to scold him, can I let AEEIS take action?”

Ye Zhizhou was silent for a moment. “In theory, we don’t agree with such behavior. However, if the car owner wants to use it, our suggestion is to use it appropriately to ensure our own safety.”

Tengda was the only cooperation project on the content of this car.

That was normal. After all, this car had been jointly developed by Stamford and Shenhua Corporation for several years. It should have been mass-produced. There was no way to change many contents. It was already good enough to have an AEEIS.

However, that did not mean that Tengda was here to be a calefare because there were other details of the cooperation.

“This car’s news conference is going to be held during the Chinese New Year period? This… isn’t that a little too much?” Wang Xiaobin felt very uncomfortable because this was very not the Tengda spirit.

Ye Zhizhou nodded. “There’s no other way. This is the time set by Steff and Shenhua Corporation.”

“The Chinese New Year holiday is actually a very good time. It is more conducive for the popularity to ferment quickly.”

“The only problem is that some staff will rush back to prepare for the news conference on the second day of the Chinese New Year. However, they have already arranged for the employees to rest. It shouldn’t be a problem.”

“This is a project that Struggle and Tengda Corporation have been planning for several years. Of course, we have to choose the best time to publish it. As for the employees’ holidays, we can only suffer for a while.”

“However, Shang Yang Games is not affected. The model of the car before the new year should be completed and updated in the game.”

Wang Xiaobin realized a problem. “Wait a minute, let’s go in the game first, and then hold the news conference for the new car in a few days?”

Ye Zhizhou nodded. “That’s right.”

“This…” Wang Xiaobin scratched his head, feeling that something was amiss.

Even if it was authorization, the game would only be released after the new car was released, right?

Which car in reality would become a “game release”? How could that be?

Ye Zhizhou smiled. “This involves a special publicity plan.”

“In the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’, we will deliberately hide some information. This time, the three cars from Stamford will be up together. There will be a K1 in between the two old cars. What’s more, it will make this K1 automatic driving technology.”

“At the news conference, Steffer and Shenhua will officially display the blade battery and automatic driving technology.”

“All in all, we’ll wait for the show to start during the Chinese New Year period!”

…

…

February 5th, Tuesday…

Pei Qian continued to rack his brains in his office for his graduation thesis.

This year’s Chinese New Year was on February 10th, which was this weekend. There were only a few days left.

Pei Qian thought about staying at home during the Chinese New Year holiday. He would definitely not be able to write a single word on the thesis. He wanted to work hard for the next two days before the holidays to put up as much of the framework of the thesis as possible.

He had been struggling for so many days. He had to make some progress, right? The sooner he settled the thesis, the sooner he could incur losses!

He heard a knock on his office door just as he was thinking hard.

He looked up and saw Yu Fei.

“Eh? What’s the matter?” Pei Qian asked.

Yu Fei looked a little embarrassed. “Erm, Boss Pei… I want to say something…”

Pei Qian immediately became cautious. “Huh? You’re not thinking of leaving again, are you?”

Yu Fei cleared his throat. “Ahem, Boss Pei, I might have let you down and nurtured me, but… you’ve seen the situation with Ghost General 2. I think it’s not at the level it should be compared to Tengda’s previous games.”

“At the moment, this game is basically more popular in the niche of combat games. From the sales volume and popularity, it is very different from Tengda’s previous games…”

“I think I’m still not used to being the chief designer. Coincidentally, this game has been released. It’s almost the new year. I’ve already written the beginning of my new book intermittently… so…”

Pei Qian was unhappy.

Leave? How can you leave!

It was a good thing that Ghost General 2 could not make money now!

If it were to make huge profits, I might not stop you if you were determined to leave. However, how could I let you go in this situation?

Impossible!

Pei Qian smiled. “Why do you think Ghost General 2’s situation is not optimistic? I think it has completely met my expectations! Look, to be able to satisfy core players means that the quality of this game is quite high.”

“Since there’s no problem with the quality of the game, wouldn’t it only be a matter of time before ordinary players like it?”

“So, it’s the new year. What’s the hurry? I think you’re just giving yourself too much pressure. You’re too strict with yourself. You obviously do well in your work. Why do you always belittle yourself?”

“All in all, let the bullet fly for a while. We’ll talk about it after the new year.”

Yu Fei opened his mouth, looking conflicted.

He could not understand why Boss Pei was so determined to retain him.

When he was working on Eternal Reincarnation previously, he could be said to be the original author of the novel. He knew the story better, so he left him behind.

Later on, because of the success of Eternal Reincarnation, it was reasonable for him to develop Ghost General 2.

However, the problem was that now that Ghost General 2 had been released, the sales volume was not good because the game genre was less popular.

He had already proven that he was not cut out for this with his actions. The iron-like data was already in front of him. He had repeatedly insisted. Boss Pei’s attitude should have relaxed a little, right?

However, he did not. Boss Pei resolutely did not agree to Yu Fei leaving as usual.

That was ridiculous!

Yu Fei could only compromise again seeing Boss Pei’s determined attitude.

“Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll take it for a while more… You have to start choosing the new person-in-charge of the games department after the new year! I really can’t take it anymore!”

Pei Qian nodded. “Alright, definitely after the new year!”
