Chapter 1450 Jifeng K1

Meanwhile, at Shang Yang Games.

Wang Xiaobin was in the recreation room, happily drinking his favorite sugary soda while playing "Safe and Civilized Driving."

Bliss!

This feeling of happiness had lasted for days since his return from the "suffering trip," and showed no signs of fading.

He didn't know why, but he felt his soul had been elevated. He never used to find going to work something to be happy about, but now he suddenly enjoyed the feeling.

Whether he was working at the company or playing games, he felt a sense of happiness and satisfaction. It was truly a bit magical.

Calculating with his fingers, in another three or four days, it would be the Spring Festival holiday.

Which meant that, starting from December of last year, Wang Xiaobin hadn't worked at the company for more than three days in total. First, two months of paid suffering, and after returning for only a few days, it was time for another vacation.

A person who wanted to work hard and steadily was constantly plagued by all sorts of holidays.

Ugh, how annoying!

The key was that after he came back, the game "Safe and Civilized Driving" was already finished, and there was nothing for him to do. He had no other work to do except play games.

That was quite depressing.

While he was driving in the game, footsteps came from outside the lounge, and Ye Zhizhou walked in with a document.

Wang Xiaobin immediately paused the game, stood up, and asked, "Has the cooperation agreement with Striver Automobile and Shenhua been finalized?"

Ye Zhizhou nodded. "Yes, it's finalized. Very efficient."

Wang Xiaobin wasn't surprised by this.

Shenhua, Striver, and Tengda could be said to be a strong alliance, a win-win-win situation, and with Lin Wan's connection, the cooperation was bound to go smoothly.

What he was more concerned about was the specific cooperation plan.

Ye Zhizhou casually pulled up a chair next to him, sat down, and handed the document in his hand to Wang Xiaobin.

Wang Xiaobin flipped through it. It was the specific plan for the three-party cooperation.

"So, the new brand name is Jifeng? And this mass-produced model is called Jifeng K1?"

Ye Zhizhou nodded. "That's right. The name Jifeng has three meanings."

"First, from a literal point of view, it has an image of being sharp and progressive, emphasizing a state of pushing technology to the extreme and showing its brilliance."

"Second, Ji (极) is reminiscent of electrodes, and Feng (锋) is reminiscent of Striver's upcoming Blade Battery."

"Finally, Jifeng is a proper noun in terms of climate. It is a large cold front, a semi-permanent front between polar air masses and tropical air masses, a boundary between cold polar air currents and tropical air currents, often with cyclones, rainstorms, and strong winds. It also indicates that this car will bring a new trend to domestic car companies and will be a collision between tradition and the new wave."

"The car logo is also derived from this meaning."

"As for the model K1, it means that the Jifeng brand will have three models: the K series for regular family cars, the L series for extended comfort cars, and the M series for energetic sports cars. Only the K series is being released this time."

Wang Xiaobin looked at the car logo and found that it was made up of two parts: the bottom layer was a cold V-shape, and the upper layer of the V-shape had two semi-circular arcs, ")(", intersecting with the V-shape.

The V represents the cold front and sinking cold air, while ")" represents the rising hot air.

The intersection of cold and hot air is Jifeng.

Wang Xiaobin nodded. "Well… I think this name sounds much better than Striver. It's easy to remember, and the meaning is good. Most importantly, the logo looks quite nice and is more in line with the futuristic feel of new energy vehicles."

He flipped through the document. "Aeeis system and Aeeis voice pack are to be installed in the car for users to choose? Wow, is that appropriate?"

Ye Zhizhou smiled slightly. "Why wouldn't it be appropriate? Aeeis has already achieved great success in smart home and mobile phone assistant fields, and its image has taken root in people's hearts."

"Moreover, Aeeis is just an option. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it."

Wang Xiaobin thought for a while. "Then, if I encounter a reckless driver on the road and I'm not good with words and 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 advocate such behavior, but if the car owner insists on using it, our suggestion is to use it moderately while ensuring their personal safety."

This was Tengda's only cooperative project in terms of the car's content itself.

This was also normal. After all, this car was a model that Striver Automobile and Shenhua Group had jointly developed for several years, and it was about to be mass-produced. It was impossible to change much of the content. Being able to put an Aeeis in it was already very good.

But this didn't mean that Tengda was just there to make up the numbers, because there were some other cooperation details later on.

"The launch event for this car is scheduled during the Spring Festival? This… isn't that a bit too much?" Wang Xiaobin felt very uncomfortable, because this was very un-"Tengda spirit."

Ye Zhizhou nodded. "There's no way around it. This is the time set by Striver Automobile and Shenhua Group."

"The Spring Festival holiday is actually a good time, which is more conducive to the rapid fermentation of popularity."

"The only problem is that some staff members will have to rush back on the second day of the Lunar New Year to prepare for the launch event, but they have already arranged compensatory time off for the employees, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"This is a project that Striver Automobile and Tengda Group have been planning for several years, so of course they have to choose the best time to launch it. As for the employees' holidays, we can only ask them to make some sacrifices."

"But our Shang Yang Games will not be affected. The model of this car should be able to be completed and updated into the game before the New Year."

Wang Xiaobin realized a problem. "Wait a minute, we'll release it in the game first, and then hold the new car launch event a few days later?"

Ye Zhizhou nodded. "That's right."

"This…" Wang Xiaobin scratched his head, feeling like something was wrong.

Even with authorization, the game should be released after the new car is launched, right?

How can a real car have a "game premiere"? Does that make any sense?

Ye Zhizhou smiled slightly. "This involves a special promotional plan."

"In the game 'Safe and Civilized Driving,' we will deliberately hide some information. This time, Striver's three cars will be released together, with the K1 sandwiched between two old models. Moreover, the K1 will have autonomous driving technology."

"During the launch event, Striver and Shenhua will officially showcase the Blade Battery and autonomous driving technology."

"In short, just wait for the show to begin during the Spring Festival!"

...

...

February 5th, Tuesday.

Pei Qian was in his office, continuing to rack his brains over his graduation thesis.

This year's Spring Festival was on February 10th, which was this weekend, so there were only a few days left.

Considering that he would be on vacation at home during the Spring Festival and there was absolutely no way he would write a single word of his thesis, Pei Qian wanted to work a little harder these two days before the holiday to build up the basic framework of the thesis as much as possible.

After struggling for so many days, there had to be some progress, right? The sooner he finished the thesis, the sooner he could lose money in peace!

While he was racking his brains, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

He looked up and saw that it was Yu Fei.

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Pei Qian asked.

Yu Fei's expression was a bit hesitant. "That, President Pei... I want to say something..."

Pei Qian was instantly vigilant. "Hmm? You're not thinking of leaving again, are you?"

Yu Fei coughed twice. "Cough, President Pei, although it might be a bit of a disappointment to your expectations and cultivation of me, but... you've seen the situation with 'Ghost General 2.' I don't think it's reached the level it should have compared to Tengda's previous games."

"This game is currently only popular in the niche circle of fighting games, and in terms of sales and popularity, it's far from Tengda's previous games..."

"I don't think I'm quite suited for the position of lead designer. It just so happens that this game has been released and the New Year is coming soon. I've been writing my new book intermittently and have a good opening... so..."

Pei Qian was immediately unhappy.

You're leaving? How can you leave!

"Ghost General 2" not making money right now is a good thing!

If it made a lot of money, then if you were determined to leave, I might not stop you, but in this situation, how can I let you leave?

Impossible!

Pei Qian smiled and said, "Why do you think the situation with 'Ghost General 2' is not optimistic? I think it's completely met my expectations! Look, it can satisfy even the core players, which means that the quality of this game is quite solid."

"Since there's no problem with the quality of the game, then isn't it just a matter of time before ordinary players like this game?"

"So, what's the rush during the New Year? I think you're just putting too much pressure on yourself and being too strict with yourself. You're clearly doing a good job, so why are you always underestimating yourself?"

"In short, let the bullets fly for a while. We can talk about anything after the New Year."

Yu Fei opened his mouth, his expression a bit tangled.

He couldn't understand why President Pei was so determined to keep him.

When he was working on "Eternal Reincarnation," it could be said that he was the original author of the novel and understood the story better, so they kept him;

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

But the problem was that now that "Ghost General 2" was online, the sales weren't good because the game type was relatively niche.

He had already proven with his actions that he wasn't the right material for this, and the ironclad data was already in front of him. He had repeatedly insisted, shouldn't President Pei's attitude be a little more relaxed?

But no, President Pei was still as determined as ever to disagree with Yu Fei's departure.

This was outrageous!

Seeing that President Pei's attitude was firm, Yu Fei had no choice but to compromise once again.

"Okay, President Pei, then I'll hold on for a while longer... But after the New Year, you must start choosing a new head for the game department! I really can't handle it anymore!"

Pei Qian nodded. "Okay, definitely after the New Year!"
