Chapter 273 The company is too poor
However, although Lin Feng nodded in agreement, Wu Zhaopu was extremely opposed.
"Director Lin, if we continue to build branches in the United States and Europe, the company will definitely not have enough funds. And if we expand too fast, it may not be a good thing." Wu Zhaopu hurriedly objected. Once "Counter-Strike Online" is really going to be launched,
Global Internet consumes a lot of money. Now the "second world" looks rich, but in fact it is still very poor.
"Well, I know this. We don't want to start global interconnection right now. We will first stabilize the Asian market for the time being and try to get more Asian countries to join the Asian version of Counter-Strike Online," Lin Feng said.
"Counter-Strike Online" only has more countries participating in it, the more it can attract players to join, and it can also bring more profits to the company.
"Well, I will add special forces from various Asian countries to the game. However, Director Lin, I have a suggestion. Since the company is financially tight now, why not let us release part of the revenue and let online game operators from other Asian countries become our partners?
Partners, we sell their agency operating rights, and they bear the cost of setting up a branch." Minwu Li said.
When Wu Zhaopu heard this, he repeatedly agreed. In this way, the company would not have to invest any costs, but could increase its revenue significantly. As for the security of "cloud computing", the game technology departments of its branches in various Asian countries would be filled by technicians sent by the "Second World".
What's more, Lin Feng's private "Langya" security company is responsible for security. These security personnel are all soldiers and have high loyalty. Naturally, they will not worry about company employees being tempted by profits outside and betraying the company. And for those who want to make money online games
As far as operators are concerned, they only need to provide funds and don’t need to consider anything else.
Of course, there is only one premise for all "Counter-Strike Online", which is that "Counter-Strike Online" must be accepted by other Asian countries. However, Lin Feng believes that this is not a problem. The popularity of "Counter-Strike" has proven that this type of first-person shooting game is absolutely
With a huge market, the future is bound to be bright.
Gable also serves as the head of the fifth game development department. The current goal is naturally to get "Half-Life 2" on the market as soon as possible. Gable estimates that "Half-Life 2" can sell at least about 6 million copies, which can bring in about 200 million
US dollar income can greatly ease the company's financial situation.
"Lin, I think that if possible, it would be best for the company to purchase the 3D engine of "Unreal". Although our own havok engine has good performance in terms of action crispness and other aspects, it is still not as good as "Unreal" in terms of picture effects.
"Unreal" engine. For "Half-Life 2", I hope that it can not only meet the needs of players in terms of game plot, but also allow players to enjoy the graphics. And I hope to use the advanced engine technology of "Unreal" to comprehensively integrate
Our own havok engine can develop a more powerful 3D engine." Gable said.
"Okay, you can make your own decision on this point and tell Vice President Wu the required funds when the time comes." Lin Feng agreed. No matter how short of funds the company has, the money that should be spent must be spent.
"Uh...well, Lin, can someone else go there?" Gable looked embarrassed.
Lin Feng was stunned, and after asking carefully, he understood the reason. It turned out that the reason why Gaibo was unwilling to go was because of face reasons. Although the havok engine is not the world's top three game engines, it has its own pride. Since purchasing "Thor God of Thunder"
After using the 3D engine of "Hammer 2" and then developing their own havok engine, Gable and others got a little carried away for a while. They got a little arrogant at a game industry summit in the United States, and naturally offended the three major game engine companies. Now
Let Gable go and beg someone again. I want to know how the other person will look at Gable.
"Okay, leave this to me." Lin Feng thought for a while and knew that this might be a problem. But since Gable is unwilling to go, he can't force it. As for other people in the company, I'm afraid they also know "valve" and "second
With the news of the merger of "World", whoever goes for it will definitely face difficulties from the other party. In this case, it is better to go alone. Who makes himself the president of the company!
Buddha said: If I don’t go to hell, who will?
What's more, Lin Feng also plans to go to the United States again in the near future. Not only to attend Spielberg's appointment, but also to acquire the 'avenue-a' company suggested by Abby. Lin Feng believes that Abby Cohen is definitely not just talking casually.
So simple. Of course, we also need to set up a "9.11" disaster relief fund to improve our image in the hearts of Americans. But we can't let the company suffer unfair treatment in the United States because of our own problems. What's more, Lin Feng can also sign a contract for this trip
The first "Audition" celebrity spokesperson who was the best in his mind. (In Lin Feng's mind, Li Zhiyou was one of his own, not a star.)
"By the way, Gable, you'd better make a simplified Chinese version of "Half-Life" first, and add some of the plot and content of "Half-Life 2" in it. I think there will be a certain amount of sales, at least.
In exchange for a certain amount of income." Lin Feng said suddenly.
Gable thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Director Lin, I have another suggestion. Cohen's 'cloud computing' itself was developed from BitTorrent. I want to use this to set up a system called 'steam'. In the future, players from all over the world will be able to directly log in to this 'steam' system.
Come and pay to download the games we develop, and get game upgrades directly online. This can not only save costs, but also expand the company's influence," Gable said.
Lin Feng felt happy again. But this required Cohen's support.
"No problem, it's very simple. But we need to design a matching download software for this. But if this happens, the BT technology may be leaked." Cohen thought for a while and said.
"Does that have any impact on 'cloud computing'?" Lin Feng doesn't pay much attention to bt now. "Cloud computing" is the foundation of his company now.
"No, 'cloud computing' has long been out of the technical scope of BT." Cohen said confidently.
"Okay, that's no problem. You can design it as soon as possible, but it's best to modify it a little so that people can't see the connection." Lin Feng said.
"Well, that's no problem."
Gable also nodded with satisfaction. With this "steam" system, the company's game sales model will be more flexible and can earn more profits. At least if relevant expansion packs are developed in the future, they do not need to be made into separate discs for sale, but can be directly sold.
Allow users to log in to the "steam" system and selectively pay for downloads. And the "steam" system function is not just that simple.
After any player registers information in "steam", no matter when and where, as long as he logs in to the "steam" system, he can quickly download the game version of your choice, language and adjust related game attributes, and can extract his own archive records.
.You can continue the last game progress anywhere.
The only key to this "steam" system is network transmission. The existing network transmission mode cannot meet Gable's requirements, but Cohen's "bt" can do it. With Cohen's "bt" technology, its download speed is,
Gable guarantees that all users can experience "steam-like download speeds".
As for the CG technology department, with the breakthrough of the 3D engine technology of "Swordsman Online", they finally have a place to use and can start rendering its opening animation and cutscenes.
"Everyone, I will establish an e-sports department, which will be responsible for all e-sports projects. Minister Cui's year-end 'World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament' - which is temporarily named 'Second World Players Annual Meeting' will also be organized by e-sports.
The Ministry will be responsible for it, and the 'E-Sports World Cup' and 'E-Sports League' will be launched in the near future. I will serve as the minister temporarily," said Lin Feng.
Everyone agreed with this point. "Counter-Strike Online" is originally an online game in the e-sports category. Lin Feng's undertaking of e-sports competition is only beneficial to the company, not to mention that its budget cost is not high. Moreover, a company must
Clear division of duties and responsibilities can ensure continuous and efficient operation and ensure the company's stable and rapid development.
"Finally, let's discuss the construction of the 'Second World' headquarters. There are many plans here. You will take them for reference later to see what our headquarters will look like. In short, it must be able to highlight the characteristics of our company.
The image needs to be so that everyone in this bustling city can tell at a glance that this is our 'second world' headquarters building." Lin Fengzhan said.
Everyone nodded and took a stack of information on the unique architectural styles of various countries from Lin Feng's hands.
"Director Lin, what is the address of the headquarters of the 'Second World' company..." Wu Zhaopu asked.
"I have a piece of land that is vacant in a prime location in Shanghai," Lin Feng said.
"But how do we calculate this?" Wu Zhaopu naturally knew that Lin Feng had an idle piece of land in a prime location, but after all, it belonged to Lin Feng personally and not to the company.
"Consider it a joint venture between me and the company. I acquire the land and the company builds it. I own 30% of the building and the company owns 70%." Lin Feng thought for a while and said.
Wu Zhaopu and everyone nodded. It has to be said that every time they do this calculation, everyone feels a little embarrassed. They are doing it here and there. Such a profitable company is not as rich as Lin Feng himself.
After the meeting, Cui Mingze quickly published an announcement on the Internet that the "Second World" game competition will be held at the end of the year. Of course, there was also an advertisement for the expansion pack "Audition: Starry Dance" to be released.
Chapter completed!
