85: Chapter 85 In the end, you still have to have some skills yourself.

The group was led into that spacious conference room.

Tea and small snacks were laid out on the table. The overall decor looked a bit dated, but the room was tidy everywhere, making one feel favorably inclined toward it without realizing it.

Director Lin sat down at the head of the table and waved her hand, signaling everyone to be at ease and not stand on ceremony.

Her posture was relaxed as she leaned back in her chair. Her gentle gaze rested on Jiang Yuan without any concealment; it seemed vaguely like an appraisal, but it was mostly filled with appreciation and gratification.

"President Jiang, I called you all here today mainly because I wanted to understand the development status and future strategy of Spark Games in person."

"Your company has been established for less than two years, and your three games have sold nearly twenty million copies globally. This achievement is extremely impressive among domestic games! In the reports the city received this year, your company's outstanding performance overseas was specifically mentioned!"

Jiang Yuan nodded, signaled for Qin Gong to turn on the projector, and walked to the front of the screen with a confident expression, saying calmly:

"Director Lin, we have prepared a detailed data report. Please take a look! Since its establishment, Spark Games has launched a total of three products..."

After a friendly discussion.

Director Lin nodded and asked thoughtfully:

"President Jiang, I heard that your company is currently preparing for something big?"

Having talked for a long time, Jiang Yuan, whose mouth was a bit dry, had just returned to her seat. Hearing this, she didn't even bother to drink water; her heart skipped a beat, and she responded with a bright smile:

"Is Director Lin referring to our self-built game platform?"

"Yes, that is our company's most important strategic layout this year! Once the platform goes online, it will be based on Spark Games' titles and will gradually introduce works from third-party developers."

"Our goal is to build a distribution channel that truly belongs to our country, one that is not inferior to other top global platforms!"

"We plan to launch this platform within the year! However, regarding the qualification approval, our time is indeed very tight, and there might be some discrepancies with our original promotional plan..."

At this point, Jiang Yuan's tone paused slightly, then she blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a sincere and earnest attitude:

"So, coming here today, I also wanted to ask if you, Director Lin, could help coordinate things."

After hearing this, Director Lin did not immediately give an answer. Instead, she gave a soft hum and began to think with a calm expression.

The surrounding atmosphere fell into a brief silence.

It felt like a boulder crashing down, instantly tearing through the earlier friendliness and pressing down on the hearts of the three of them, making the young girl feel as if she could hardly breathe.

But fortunately, the worst did not happen in the end.

After a brief silence, Director Lin said with a gentle smile:

"President Jiang, forget it, let me just call you Xiao Jiang!"

"Xiao Jiang, let me be honest with you! Domestic game platforms have been around for so many years, yet almost none have truly succeeded. I don't think it's because the technology isn't up to par, nor is it because there isn't enough money; it's because there isn't enough attractive exclusive game content."

"But in my opinion, your Spark Games is very different compared to those platforms! You have competitive game products, you have IPs that can gain a foothold in the global market, and you have yourself, a very talented young person!"

"Additionally, I have also looked at the detailed information on your Aurora Engine, and it is excellent! It is unique within the country; even compared to those famous foreign engines, it is not far behind!"

"You want to build a platform; this is a big deal and a good thing! The city's opinion is that we should support young companies that have the determination and confidence to take our Chinese culture to the global stage!"

Hearing this.

A surge of uncontrollable, intense joy welled up in Jiang Yuan's heart, but her beautiful face remained composed as she listened attentively.

She did not know that the beautiful and delicate young girl in front of her, whom she thought highly of, was so happy at this moment that she wanted to stand up and do a set of Kun boxing.

Director Lin continued:

"Regarding the qualification approval, I will personally keep an eye on it. Once you have the materials ready, I will have the district open a special channel and strive to get everything approved within five working days."

Hiss...

Qin Gong, standing beside her, gasped, nearly failing to control his expression. His face seemed somewhat distorted for a moment due to excessive shock and wild joy.

Five working days—this was far, far faster than his most optimistic estimate. It was simply unbelievable!

"The online publishing license is a bit more complicated, and the personnel requirements are quite strict. Several full-time editors must have a background in publishing; this is a national standard that I cannot bypass."

"But you are already hiring, and you are paying social insurance; you've done well in this regard! Once the materials are ready, I will help you coordinate a joint review to compress the approval cycle to within one month."

Jiang Yuan nodded repeatedly, quickly calculating in her mind.

One month—that was at least three times faster than the normal process. It was enough, more than enough!

"As for game publishing numbers..."

"This is under the jurisdiction of the National Press and Publication Administration, and I cannot directly interfere! However... I can help you submit your materials directly through the city, using the priority channel for outstanding games going global! Spark Games..."

"You at Spark Games, keep up the good work! If you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time."

As for what was said in between.

Jiang Yuan, whose emotions were surging wave after wave, was now so washed over by extreme joy that she was a bit dazed and couldn't remember it very clearly.

Hearing Director Lin's last sentence, Jiang Yuan hurriedly stood up, bowed solemnly to her, and expressed her gratitude with an incredibly sincere attitude:

"Thank you for your support, Director Lin!"

Upon hearing this, Director Lin waved her hand and said with a warm smile:

"No need to thank me. If you make your games well, build your platform up, and tell our Chinese stories to players all over the world, that is the best thanks you can give me."

After the meeting ended, Jiang Yuan and her group walked out of the office building.

The sunlight spilled onto them, warm and cozy, making one feel the relaxation and comfort of being in a hot spring.

Qin Gong walked beside her, his face almost cracking from grinning; the corners of his mouth were curved into a checkmark shape as he laughed and said:

"President Jiang, five working days! That's almost one or two months faster than we estimated! And the publishing numbers! To tell you the truth, I actually didn't have much hope in my heart at the beginning!"

Su Meng, who had been silent and quietly acting as a personal assistant, couldn't help but exclaim with a happy face and a soft voice:

"And the online publishing license can be compressed to within a month, and the publishing numbers can go through the priority channel. This trip today was truly worth it!"

"I originally thought that such high-level leaders would usually just give bureaucratic answers, but I didn't expect Director Lin to be so approachable and willing to help us."

Jiang Yuan did not make a sound.

She simply looked at the blue sky with a bright and radiant smile, let out a long breath, and felt her whole heart as if it were soaked in a pot of honey wine, intoxicatingly sweet.

Compared to the two beside her.

Although Jiang Yuan was equally grateful for Director Lin's support.

She knew clearly that what truly moved the approval departments and the Shanghai city officials, what made them so easy to talk to and show such a gentle side, was not because of anything else...

It was actually because of Spark Games' solid, undeniably hard, and dazzling achievements that no other domestic manufacturer could compare to!

Without this, let alone today's meeting where both host and guest were happy.

Whether she could even trigger this hidden rule would be a questionable matter!

At the end of the day, you still need to have some ability yourself.
