"Director Lin, this is the online number report of "Plants vs. Zombies"." Wu Zhaopu handed Lin Feng a stack of documents while hesitating.

During this period, Lin Feng took Liu Yingying's advice and redistributed the shares of "Second World".

As the CEO of "Second World", Wu Zhaopu obtained 5% of the shares of "Second World", Cui Mingze, as the chief planner of "Legend", also obtained 5% of the shares, and Wang Meng, as the director of the company's security department, had no

Qualified to obtain shares, but Lin Feng was firstly grateful to Wang Meng for his devotion to the company, and secondly, he had a great affection for these soldiers with a sense of justice and passion, and hoped that these soldiers would have a good home after dedicating themselves to the country. And Wang Meng is also a

As a very warmhearted person, I believe that most of the year-end dividends given to him by Lin Feng will be used on these soldiers. Therefore, he also gave Wang Meng 3% of the shares, plus Liu Yingying's initial 10% of the shares, "Second

"The World" has also become a joint-stock company held by many people.

Although this has caused Lin Feng's assets to shrink slightly, as Liu Yingying said, if a company wants to become bigger and stronger and become a global multinational company, it must give its important employees a sense of belonging and let them consider the company as their home.

Work together to fight and be loyal to the company. Shares in the distribution company are undoubtedly the best way and the most popular way to win people over. Most foreign holding companies will reward key outstanding employees of the company with shares to retain these employees and continue to contribute to the company.

Long term effectiveness.

Although the shares have been redistributed, Lin Feng still owns 77% of the shares of "Second World" and has absolute say in the company.

Lin Feng glanced at the data report in his hand and was extremely satisfied with the number of people online in "Plants vs. Zombies" during this period. As the number of players entering the third level increased, new levels and new challenges made players hooked.

In addition, Lin Feng provided a pause function and a "boss button" for this purpose, making "Plants vs. Zombies" popular in offices. It has surpassed "Lianliankan" and has become a must-play game for "white-collar workers" during office hours.

"What's the matter? If you have something to say, just say it." Lin Feng saw that Wu Zhaopu was a little restless and knew that something must be wrong with him.

"Uh, this, this..." Wu Zhaopu naturally had something to say, but Lin Feng had always been the voice of authority within the company. Although they, the senior management, also had a certain amount of say, they had never had a conflict with Lin Feng.

Wu Zhaopu didn’t know if what he said below would offend Lin Feng. Now the company was developing steadily and was thriving. Wu Zhaopu didn’t want to have a conflict with Lin Feng, which would cause drastic changes in the company and affect its development.

Wu Zhaopu finally gritted his teeth and expressed his doubts.

"Mr. Lin, although "Plants vs. Zombies" has been a great success and has firmly occupied the top spot in domestic online games in a short period of time, the profit is too low. The monthly subscription fee of 10 yuan per person per month is not worth the amount of money we paid for the server.

Compared with employees and a series of other expenses, the profit return rate is too low." Wu Zhaopu said what was in his heart.

"But that's not the point. The point is that its impact on "Legend" has greatly exceeded our expectations. During this period, the online rate of "Legend" has been lower than half of the past, with an average number of online users of less than 200,000, and it continues to decline.

." Wu Zhaopu's face turned serious. The impact of "Plants vs. Zombies" on other types of online games has been so great that it has exceeded everyone's expectations.

Lin Feng looked at the data report of "Legend" and felt a headache. He did not expect that "Plants vs. Zombies" would have such a big impact. In particular, the nine-level system was launched, which directly divided players into different levels, allowing players to

They compete with each other and compare with each other, which directly leads to the loss of a large number of "Legend" players and switch to the game world of "Plants vs. Zombies".

At first, "Legend" players only played the game for leisure and entertainment, and to earn free "Legend" points. However, after playing the game, they became completely addicted and couldn't extricate themselves. All equipment, guilds, and enemies were forgotten.

In the end, all players only have one goal in mind: to pass those damn 100 rounds and open the next level.

When the next level opens, there are new game methods and new maps. What remains unchanged is the annoying 100 rounds. And if you persist for 100 rounds, you can enter the next level.

However, the levels in "Plants vs. Zombies" are very simple, easy, and leisurely at the beginning, but they become more and more difficult later on. 100 rounds are by no means so easy to pass. And after failing the challenge again and again, the resentment in the players' hearts becomes more and more difficult.

What's more, I hope to break through 100 rounds and enter the next level.

But after breaking through 100 rounds, there will be a new level, and a new 100 rounds of challenges, never ending, and the cycle will continue. Unless you can break through the nine major levels.

The most important reason why players hate and love it at the same time is that the setting of 100 rounds is just right. It allows players to see hope of passing the level, but this hope is not so easy to achieve. If you want to give up, you can see all your friends around you.

If you are persisting or have already entered the next level, who is willing to give up? How can you give up?

Hold on, hold on, keep holding on.

This is also the reason why "Plants vs. Zombies" is extremely popular, and it has directly harmed all other types of online games. Before this wave of "Plants vs. Zombies" tower defense online games passes, I am afraid that all other types of online games will be severely harmed.

Lin Feng looked at the online games of other companies. Except for the tower defense casual games of the same type, which are very popular, they have all been seriously affected. Some of them are almost out of service. Many online game companies really love and hate this tower game.

Mixed feelings.

"Then what suggestions do you have?" Lin Feng asked.

"I suggest that like other online game companies, we secretly operate Plants vs. Zombies as a stand-alone game to reduce the load on the server and reduce costs. When the player passes or fails, the game will contact the host internally to upload the records." Wu

Zhaopu's suggestion is also an emergency plan that many online game companies have come up with in response to the popular "Plants vs. Zombies" craze.

This emergency plan can indeed reduce the load of the game on the server to a great extent, and can greatly reduce the cost of operating the company. It can even be said that privately renting a network bandwidth and buying a few servers can operate it. However, this plan also has a fatal weakness

.

"No! If this happens, the game will be messed up." Lin Feng refused without hesitation.

"Why?" Wu Zhaopu is afraid of this. Since the various measures launched by Lin Feng in the company have been extremely successful, and have also brought huge profit returns to the company, Wu Zhaopu is afraid of this.

This gave Lin Feng a feeling of absolute confidence and pride, and he could not listen to what others said, which was definitely detrimental to the development of the company.

"Although our company relies on the profits of "Legend" and has a large amount of funds as backing, even though it is now greatly affected by "Plants vs. Zombies" and its popularity continues to slump, the monthly profit of "Legend" is still a huge 100 million yuan. But it can be

Wouldn't it be great for the company to lighten its burden a little? Almost all online game companies do this, so why should our company be unique and go in the opposite direction?" Wu Zhaopu also went all out today. He didn't want Lin Feng to fall into arrogance from now on.

realm.

The company has a bright future, and Lin Feng may become the youngest rich man in the world in the future. He does not want Lin Feng to fail here.

To be honest, if Lin Feng was not a reborn person, he would definitely agree with Wu Zhaopu’s suggestion. This suggestion now seems to be the most reasonable and correct choice. Unfortunately, Lin Feng is a reborn person and has also been

He is a crazy online game enthusiast and understands the mentality of players.

Online game players are loyal, but they are also the easiest to rebel. Their loyalty and enthusiasm for an online game may last for several years, or even remain unchanged for a lifetime. But they may also rebel in an instant, over a small accidental matter, and then completely resist the game.

games, and even conflict with game operators.

The most intolerable thing for online game players is the fraudulent behavior of online game operators. Especially secretly modifying online game parameters and data behind players' backs. This is the most unacceptable thing for players, and it is also the easiest to break players' hearts.

The suggestion put forward by Wu Zhaopu is currently the most "sane" choice for many online game companies, but it deceives all players and will involve a very serious problem that can cause the entire game system to collapse.

Lin Feng tapped his fingers on the table and looked at Wu Zhaopu, who looked like a loyal minister who "risked his own life to remonstrate". Although Lin Feng wanted to laugh in his heart, it would hurt Wu Zhaopu's "loyalty" and self-esteem, so he suppressed it.

Keep the smile in your heart and look serious.

"Do you think "Plants vs. Zombies" is an online game or a stand-alone game?" Lin Feng asked instead without answering. Sometimes some questions are not clearly explained. It is better to change the technique and ask questions so that the other party can find the answer from his own answers.

"Of course it's an online game. If it's a stand-alone game, who would spend 10 yuan a month..." Wu Zhaopu answered immediately, but was stunned when he finished speaking, and suddenly had an epiphany in his heart.

"However, this game can be operated independently of the console. There is nothing wrong with our modification." Although Wu Zhaopu was still explaining, he also felt guilty.

"Then what will players think if they find a game that can be run as a stand-alone game but force them to spend money to play it? Especially if the operator secretly changes it to a quasi-stand-alone game behind the player's back so that it can be run off the network and only requires

When you finally log in to the host to upload the records, what will the players think?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"This...this..." Wu Zhaopu broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. If this is really the case, I'm afraid the players will "riot" because of this. Although they won't actually go to the online game company to cause trouble, at least in the hearts of the players,

The image and status of online game operators will plummet.

"But even if we don't do this, all online game companies in the industry have done so. We will inevitably be implicated, and players will not believe us." The more Wu Zhaopu thinks about it, the more terrifying he feels. This is the case with many online game companies now.

It's just that the players haven't discovered it yet. Once the players finally discover it, "Second World" will definitely be the target of the riots, and it will definitely be the company that is most questioned and slandered by the players.

"So we have to prepare for a rainy day!" Lin Feng clenched his fist tightly.
Chapter completed!
