"Tsk tsk, isn't it too difficult for me to make this game..." Seeing the data, John couldn't help but hold his chin and think. If the first game he made couldn't be cleared by any player, wouldn't that be a little embarrassing? "Maybe I should give the players some hints. Well, it seems there's no need to panic. After all, the game has only been released for less than two days..." Just as John was thinking this, his cell phone suddenly rang. When he picked it up, it was an overseas phone number. John instantly knew who the caller might be. He answered the phone immediately. "Hello, is this [New World Studio]?" The caller was a woman with a pleasant voice and fluent English. "I am," John replied in English. John had studied abroad in his previous life, so his spoken English was no problem at all. "Oh, nice to meet you, I'm the head of the project department at Valve, my name is Lisa," the woman stated her identity. Just as John had guessed, the caller was someone from the Steam platform. "Is there anything I can do for you?" John didn't reveal his name but instead asked. "It's like this: your 'Silent Hill' released on our Steam platform is now well-received, and our company can fully see the huge potential of your studio." "So our company hopes to reach a preliminary cooperation with your studio," Lisa said directly, with a warm tone. "I'm sorry, our studio has no intention of cooperating with other companies at the moment," John replied directly. "Please think about it in your studio!" Hearing this, Lisa quickly added: "I believe you know that Valve's Half-Life series and Portal series are classic IP games developed by our company. If we cooperate, it could definitely be considered a strong alliance." "Our company is extending this offer with sincerity. Maybe we can find a place to discuss these matters further." Despite these words, John still refused: "Sorry, our studio really has no intention of cooperating with others right now. Thank you for your kindness, and I wish you a happy life." After saying that, he hung up the phone. Cooperation is impossible at this point, at least not now. Collaborating with other companies at this time could easily expose his secrets. Developing a powerful game engine and producing an ultra-realistic game all by himself sounds a bit far-fetched. Therefore, as a game producer, he must remain hidden behind the scenes, not yet in the public eye. It's better to be low-key. Sitting in front of the computer, John began to add English support for Silent Hill. At this time, Jane walked into the room in a hurry with her mobile phone. "John, someone from Tencent just called me!" Jane said in a panic. "What did they say?" John continued typing on the keyboard calmly. "They said they wanted to know the specific details about [New World Studio]," Jane replied, gesturing with her hands. "They asked a lot of questions, like whether the studio address is domestic or foreign, what the size of the studio is, etc." "And how did you answer?" John asked again. "Just as you taught me," Jane replied, waving her hand dismissively. "I just said there are no comments about [New World Studio], and I didn't disclose any information to them." "Nice job!" John gave Jane a thumbs up. "By the way, John, the people from Tencent also said they want to discuss business matters with [New World Studio] and asked if I could help facilitate that," Jane added. "As for that, you should refuse," John waved his hand. "Do you really want to refuse?!" Although Jane expected John to say this, she was still surprised. "The other party is Tencent, and they have deep pockets. If we cooperate with them, we could make a lot of money, right?" "Money is not the main thing. I don't like their game operation methods," John shrugged and replied. "So I have no intention of cooperating with them. I'd rather do things my own way, that's fine." "Okay... you decide your game!" Jane didn't say anything. After all, John's words made sense. Her younger brother can develop such an impressive game. With his talent, he won't need the support of any big company in the future! "Then, Jane, you should expect calls from major Internet companies one after another," John added. "Just remember what I said: don't reveal a single word of any information!" "Also, reject any business cooperation they propose to me. In short, one word: no!"
