Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 124 - 95: Be Good, Call Me Hubby, Sign the Non-Disclosure Agreement_3
In the conference room, Li Yuan occupied the central seat, while Xia Zhijin sat primly beside him.
Hu Zhenqiang, Xie Zheng, Lin Yuwei, and the other new employees curiously gazed at their unbelievably young boss and at Xia Zhijin, whose celestial beauty was comparable to a celebrity’s.
With twenty pairs of eyes on him, Li Yuan showed no signs of stage fright and began to speak calmly.
"First of all, welcome to the Datang Technology Company. This is an honor for both the company and for you... because, in the future, Datang Technology will undoubtedly be renowned worldwide. And by working here, you will achieve your full potential..."
After Li Yuan finished speaking, Lin Yuwei led the applause, and everyone else unanimously joined in.
Having served a bowl of proverbial chicken soup to warm everyone up, it was time to move on to the main event...
Li Yuan looked at Xia Zhijin with a serious expression and said, "Secretary Xia, please distribute the confidentiality agreements to everyone present."
This was the first time Xia Zhijin had heard Li Yuan address her so formally. She quickly stood up and handed out the pre-prepared confidentiality agreements to each person.
As fourteen of the new employees were men, nearly every one of them was momentarily stunned by Xia Zhijin’s otherworldly beauty.
Hu Zhenqiang examined the confidentiality agreement drafted by Li Yuan. It consisted of eight major clauses that covered virtually every aspect. Its core tenet stipulated that once an employee signed the agreement, they were bound to its terms and forbidden from disclosing company secrets in any manner. Any breach would result in legal consequences.
In his past life, Li Yuan had been a programmer and had participated in game development. He profoundly understood how vital confidentiality was for an internet technology company—it was the absolute top priority.
"Everyone, you all have experience in research and development at internet technology companies, so you should understand the importance of signing a confidentiality agreement," Li Yuan announced. "If you agree to the terms, you can sign it now, and then we can proceed with the official employment contracts."
Hu Zhenqiang glanced at the hesitant crowd, picked up a pen, and swiftly signed his name.
"Director Li, I’ve signed."
The moment Hu Zhenqiang finished speaking, Lin Yuwei and Xie Zheng also signed their agreements almost simultaneously.
For them, it wasn’t a difficult choice. The compensation Li Yuan offered was substantial, and any tech development role at any technology company would require a similar agreement. Otherwise, how could a company bear the loss if technology developed with an investment of millions, or even tens of millions, were simply stolen?
With a few people taking the lead, the other employees quickly signed their agreements as well.
Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction and turned to Xia Zhijin. "Secretary Xia, please have everyone sign the employment contracts now."
A short while later, once all the contracts were signed, the atmosphere in the conference room eased, signifying that they were all officially members of Datang Technology.
Li Yuan looked at the eager faces of Hu Zhenqiang, Lin Yuwei, Xie Zheng, and the others, then started the PowerPoint presentation he had prepared during his military training.
"Everyone, you now have the game development proposal," he began. "I’ll use this presentation to explain the game’s concept, modes, and production details.
"As you know, multiplayer online battle arena games of this type already exist both in our country and worldwide. Games like the very popular ’Cross Fire’ exemplify a genre that will never go out of style, as it taps into humanity’s competitive nature.
"The game our company plans to develop will be named ’Honor of Kings,’ and it will primarily be a large-scale PC client game. It will feature different types of heroes divided into red and blue teams, which players can choose from to battle in Summoner’s Canyon.
"Different types of heroes will have different Skills and characteristics. In the game, players are known as Summoners, and they can choose different types of heroes to battle with.
"According to my plan, the game will initially feature a ranked mode with different tiers to spark players’ competitive drive to climb the ranks. In addition to the ranked mode, there will also be a normal mode for practicing with heroes."
Li Yuan continued his explanation, following the slides. He was basically combining elements from ’League of Legends’ and ’Honor of Kings,’ borrowing most of the skill designs from ’League of Legends.’ 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
However, the hero names would definitely be taken from ’Honor of Kings,’ featuring mostly historical and literary figures from Huaxia. In truth, Goose Factory’s ’Honor of Kings’ was itself a copy of ’League of Legends,’ having simply changed the hero names, among other things.
’League of Legends’ and ’Honor of Kings,’ one a PC game and the other a mobile game, had both proven their invincibility over time.
In his past life, Li Yuan had naturally played both. This was especially true during the peak popularity of ’Honor of Kings,’ when almost every young person was a player. Daily sales for a single skin could reach hundreds of millions of RMB, a terrifyingly large sum that truly made the people of Huaxia realize what a cash cow the gaming industry was.
If they could successfully develop it, the domestic market alone represented tens of billions of RMB. Maintaining its popularity for over a decade wouldn’t be a problem at all. This was, without a doubt, a king among games—one that would lay golden eggs for many years to come.
