"It took us ten years from starting two people in the first place to more than 200 employees, from small and medium-sized enterprises to Chongqing's ' specialized and new enterprise'." Wu Zifei, founder of Pasya Technology, said with emotion that as a member of the non-public economy, "our entrepreneurial team's current achievements are inseparable from the support and assistance of a series of preferential policies of the country and Chongqing in recent years."
Wu Zifei recalled that after graduating from studying in the United States, he stayed at the American Internet Game Company for a period of time. At that time, there was a voice, "The domestic Internet game industry has just started, and many foreign industry insiders criticized domestic game companies for their imitation and lack of innovative spirit." This made Wu Zifei very dissatisfied. He felt that Chinese game companies could also make Chinese-style IP works that make the world influential, so he resolutely returned to his hometown to start a business.
"I returned to Chongqing and first established a studio in Liziba, Yuzhong District. At that time, besides myself, my cousin Deng Yong came in to help with part-time. In 2012, I raised hundreds of thousands of yuan in startup funds, founded Chongqing Pasya Technology Co., Ltd., and obtained venture capital of 3 million venture capital. The company officially started."

Wu Zifei said that this not only allowed him to pay off the venture capital and make profits, but also greatly increased the confidence of the team's friends.
"Immediately afterwards, we spent another 4 years investing in the creation of a brand new 3D open world simulation business game "Posia Time". At the end of 2017, when the game was about to be completed, the company was in short supply, and the relevant departments of Yuzhong District extended a helping hand in a timely manner. "Since 2008, we also obtained a credit loan of 3 million yuan in science and technology knowledge value every year, which is tantamount to a timely help. "In 2018, the "Posia Time" game began to be sold globally, sweeping over 170 countries around the world, and successively won the awards of "Best Domestic Independent Game" in 2019, with a total sales of US$40 million so far.
