NetDragon Headquarters was in chaos.

In Meeting Room 1, the top executives were all gathered together.

The employees had never seen the higher-ups engaged in a meeting so frequently since joining the company.

In the meeting room, Richard sat at the head of the table with an iron blue face, not saying a word, looking at the higher ups below with a cold gaze.

The department supervisors seated below were also in a difficult position.

Halfway through the meeting, with no resolution in sight, the boss’s assistant suddenly burst in and handed his mobile phone to the boss.

They then watched as their boss’s face turned from a plain unpleasant look to a terrible one, as if he had lost his parents.

Before looking at the phone, he seemed like an ice cube emanating coldness, but after looking at it, the atmosphere turned as cold as a morgue. “Maybe this information will help you make up your minds faster!” Richard slammed his phone onto the conference table.

The executives present looked at each other.

In the end, it was Gary, out of the public relations department’s professional instinct to quickly get the latest information, who reached out first and picked up the phone to see the news.

“Cloud Dream’s New Game Trailer,” “Virtual Reality Gunfight Masterpiece,” “‘Creator of Blaze Involved”…]

Seeing these keywords, his face grew uglier, but when he saw the next trending topic, his face crumpled into a ball ]

‘The Blaze Legacy In Cloud Dream!”

What the hell? How did NetDragon’s classic masterpiece end up in Cloud Dream?! Is something wrong with your heads?

But he could not change the players’ minds, nor could he control their words, and could only pass the phone to the person next to him with a grim face, while starting to think about the impact of these messages, as well as the countermeasures.

As the phone passed from one executive to another, their faces uniformly turned ugly.

Especially Henry, who seemed like he wanted to crush the phone in his hand.

Richard spoke again, “I don’t want to watch you continue to bicker. If you have any ideas, just say them directly.”

Gary took the lead in speaking: “DLC should be as fast as possible, half a year is absolutely impossible! The price must also be as low as possible, as compensation to the players.”

Henry also stopped bickering about not having enough time, and the marketing department didn’t say anything about large discounts seriously affecting the profit plan.

Seeing that no one was refuting him anymore, Richard said, “Don’t even talk about half a year, the current situation is that even three months is too long! Transfer all the employees that can be transferred over there! ‘Ihvvo months at most! I want to see the DLC completed!”

‘And don’t talk about discounts anymore. Users who purchase within the first week will receive this DLC for free. Those who purchase within a month will get a 50% discount!”

‘Also, the R&D department! You said before that you needed two months to research virtual reality technology, and now that half a month has passed, there is still no progress! I won’t pursue whose responsibility it is, but remember the time you proposed yourself! If there is no progress by then, you can submit your resignation to the HR department!”

“Dismissed!”

After saying that, Richard stormed out angrily.

Warner, director of the NetDragon R&D Department, felt like he had been struck by lightning. He hurried back to the R&D center and gave orders to his subordinates: “Everyone, find a way to buy a Cloud Dream Mirage Console from someone who bought the Cloud Dream Device! No matter the cost, take it directly from our R&D funds! Immediately! Start now!”

He never thought that the Cloud Dream console would be so hard to buy, that they couldn’t even grab one!

Without a prototype, you can’t reverse engineer shit!

These subordinates were all stubborn, not thinking about getting equipment and focusing on studying literature and finding ideas.

Did they really think that everyone was a genius and could come up with mature technology in two months?! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝘤ℴ𝑚

Stubborn fools!

In fact, there wasn’t a single big factory that wasn’t trying to grab a console, including overseas game companies who were constantly trying to find a way to get one.

Everyone knew that this was the next generation gaming platform, and who would be willing to be left behind?

Especially for those who have been fighting for so many years and finally climbed to the top position of the big companies?

On the other side, Lincoln had just hung up a call to Randall when his phone rang again.

Noticing the call was from Henry, he picked up the phone curiously.

Since the last time he was taken by Henry into a military restricted area and experienced various long guns and short cannons, after improving and sending the sensory data, he had little contact with him.

‘This must be about settling the license fee, right?” Lincoln muttered to himself and picked up the phone.

“Hello? Mr. Henry, what can I do for you?”

“Nothing much, just notifying you about the settlement of the virtual reality device license fee.”

As he expected, having 500 million added to his account at this time made Lincoln quite happy. Another 200,000 units could be ordered from the unmanned factory, and 1.7 million units could be shipped directly next week!

Mavis nad Deen sitting on tne otner side or tne small sora, noldmg a taD1et ana playing Fruit Ninja one of the small games she had created based on Lincoln’s descriptions. Suddenly, she looked up at Lincoln.

But her hands were still cutting fruits, and she couldn’t free them, so she turned her body and stretched out her smooth little foot to step on Lincoln’s crossed legs.

Lincoln turned his head and saw Mavis pull up the account’s financial information in front of him, showing a 1 billion entry. This greatly exceeded his expectations, “1 billion? Not a typo?”

“No typo.”

“But are there that many devices?”

“Not that many devices. The rest is from software fees. We can’t just let you help for nothing.”

“Well…” Lincoln hesitated for a moment, “But I only worked for two days, and I even broke the rules by trying out so many big guns. I feel like I’m the one who gained…”

“You can’t say that!” Henry replied seriously, “Your technology is unique and has helped us solve problems that might have taken two or three years to resolve. Unique and irreplaceable technology is invaluable.”

“1 see…” So Lincoln no longer hesitated and gladly accepted, “Then I won’t be polite! If you need my help again, just let me know.” free(w)ebnovel(.)com

“Hahaha!” Henry laughed heartily, ‘That’s what I want to hear! Let’s stop here today, and we’ll chat again when we have a chance.”

“0kay.”

Lincoln hung up the phone and rubbed Mavis’s head.

Mavis didn’t mind being disturbed by Lincoln while playing the game, but she looked at Lincoln quizzically: “What’s the matter? Master, do you need something?”

“No, no.” Lincoln rubbed her little head again, “Keep playing, Mavis.”

Pulling back his hand, Lincoln made another call, this time placing a new order.

billion, 400,000 units!

1.9 million units next week! I’d like to see who dares to say I’m not doing enough!

Once this batch is sold, we’ll be close to NetDragon’s latest “Flying Dragon 3rd Generation” shipment!

We’ll be way ahead the week after!

“01d Qin, I received the previous license payment, contact the unmanned factory and increase the order by 400,000 units!”

“Uh, that, I’m afraid that won’t work.”

“Huh?” Lincoln was confused, “Can money not be spent?”
