She had only been momentarily distracted because the game's strong sense of déjà vu reminded her of similar games from her previous life.
Afterward, she began to consider which aspects of the operational plan originally set for "Star Conquest" could be directly applied, and which would need adjustments.
"What do they plan to name this game?"
"Cosmic Heroes."
Ye Zhi: "The name is decent. The game's quality is fine, easy to pick up, but difficult to master. This approach lowers the barrier to entry while still allowing for high-level competition. What are the computer requirements?"
Feng Jie immediately handed over a document detailing the configuration requirements.
Ye Zhi glanced at it. The recommended configuration could accommodate most computers on the market, while the minimum configuration would also cater to those with lower-spec machines.
She nodded, "Alright. When will the game be ready?"
"Daniel said that with enough funding, the game could be officially launched in as little as a month," Feng Jie replied. "Daniel is also quite amenable to Taoxun's acquisition. However, he has one condition: Taoxun must not interfere with the studio's internal management."
"That's no problem," Ye Zhi readily agreed. "Since both parties are interested, let's sit down and discuss it as soon as possible. By the way, Feng Jie, prepare in advance. Once the game launches, immediately organize the first World Championship. Make it grand, with high prize money. We absolutely must make the game famous."
Feng Jie blinked in surprise. "President Ye, what prize money do you think would be appropriate?"
Ye Zhi pondered for a moment. "Let's set the champion's prize money at five million! Also, communicate with Phoenix. After the league concludes, design exclusive skins for the heroes used by the championship team. The champion players can receive twenty-five percent of the skin's revenue."
Feng Jie instinctively swallowed, suddenly feeling a pang of covetousness. Was it too late for him to start playing games now?
Next, Ye Zhi allocated prize money for the second to sixteenth ranked teams. Although the prizes decreased gradually, Feng Jie calculated that the total prize pool amounted to ten million!
He couldn't help but marvel at Ye Zhi's generosity. It was rare for other games to offer such substantial prize money for their competitions. Ye Zhi was truly using money to buy fame for "Cosmic Heroes."
Furthermore, with game promotions and resource allocation in various aspects, the total amount would only increase.
He wondered what the yd company would think upon learning of Ye Zhi's willingness to spend so lavishly. However, their feelings were irrelevant. The moment they chose Flying Dragon Live Stream, their path was sealed.
Ye Zhi continued to instruct, "You decide on the competition details. Additionally, try to establish more regional divisions abroad. Since it's a World Championship, let's not make it seem like we're just playing pretend."
"Understood," Feng Jie quickly agreed.
Afterward, Feng Jie contacted Phoenix Studio again.
He informed Daniel of Ye Zhi's plan to organize the league. Daniel was surprised that the president of Taoxun attached such importance to the game developed by their studio, feeling as though he had found a kindred spirit. With both sides in agreement, they quickly finalized the acquisition terms and commenced the acquisition process.
As Taoxun acquired Phoenix, Ou Minghan was not idle.
Having finally defeated Ye Zhi once, Ou Minghan naturally sought to publicize it extensively. Although the data migration for him and Queyi Company had not yet begun, in the press releases, Ou Minghan appeared to have resurrected "Star Conquest" and turned it into the number one game in the country.
Ye Zhi noticed this but paid it no mind. She was currently busy with another matter.
The government was taking the lead in organizing the first World Internet Conference, and Ye Zhi was among the invited guests, specifically a key figure who needed to prepare a speech.
Ye Zhi had initially asked the company's publicity department to help prepare it, but their drafts were out of touch with reality, which Ye Zhi disliked. Therefore, she ultimately decided to write it herself.
She worked for three full days before completing the draft. After finishing, Ye Zhi took the manuscript directly to her next-door neighbor's house.
"See if this is okay for me," Ye Zhi handed the manuscript to Qi Xuan.
"Alright," Qi Xuan nodded, took it, and began to read it carefully.
Ye Zhi looked up and addressed the butler, "Uncle Butler, what's for dinner tonight? I've been agonizing over writing this draft for days. I'm starving now that it's done."
The butler said with a chuckle, "Miss Ye, don't worry. Everything made tonight is your favorite. I've also specially stewed some lotus seed and pig heart soup for you. It nourishes the blood, strengthens the heart, calms the nerves, and benefits the brain. After eating it, you'll surely sleep soundly tonight!"
"Really?" Ye Zhi's eyes were full of anticipation. The next moment, she spoke with a hint of disappointment, "But I'm hungry now."
The butler said indulgently, "Then come to the kitchen first. I'll find you some appetizers to tide you over."
"Okay, okay!" Ye Zhi happily agreed and followed the butler to the kitchen.
Ye Zhi went to the kitchen with the butler and ate quite a lot of delicious food before returning to the living room. xxs壹贰
Seeing that Qi Xuan had already put away the manuscript, Ye Zhi casually asked, "Have you finished reading it?"
"Mhm," Qi Xuan nodded. "The draft is very good. It's easy to understand, down-to-earth, and the content is very comprehensive. It's your usual style."
"That's good," Ye Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. She then asked, "By the way, were you also invited to this conference?"
"Yes. Although Qi Group is a venture capital firm, our primary investments are in the IT industry, including network and electronic communication technologies. Therefore, we were fortunate enough to receive an invitation," Qi Xuan said with a slight smile. "However, I'm just there to add to the atmosphere. President Ye, you are the true protagonist of this conference."
"Oh no, no, you can't flatter me like that," Ye Zhi waved her hands repeatedly. She said with a smile, "This is a world-class conference, and companies from many countries have been invited. I'm just a participant, not a protagonist by any means. On the other hand, Mr. Qi, many of the invited companies are ones you've invested in. You are the real protagonist, aren't you?"
Listening to their polite exchange, the butler couldn't help but interject, "Young Master, Miss Ye, since you've both received invitations, why don't you go together? It would be good to have each other's company!"
"Ah?" Ye Zhi's face showed a hint of hesitation. "But I've already made plans with Ruoqing. We've even booked a room together!"
The butler looked mournfully at Qi Xuan, thinking that Zhan Ruoqing was indeed the love rival they should be most wary of.
Look at that, not only were they attending the conference together, but they were also sharing a room! It was possible they would be sharing the same bed again!
Qi Xuan felt a pang of jealousy towards Zhan Ruoqing.
"Miss Zhan was also invited?" the butler asked forlornly.
