If all the game development teams under "Second World" develop with the global unified server as the goal, there will only be one consequence - the capital chain of "Second World" will be dragged down.

"Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" now has a total of 13 sets of servers, which can host 2.8 million players online at the same time. It consumes a total of 39 supercomputers and nearly 350 million U.S. dollars in manufacturing costs alone, not counting other site concession fees.

And labor costs, maintenance fees, and high electricity bills, etc. But consuming so much money, although it has achieved the expected results, it is an extremely failed strategy in terms of balance of payments. It also brings

There will be a series of negative effects.

From a financial point of view, "Second World" cannot afford the global unified server architecture adopted by other game development teams. Maybe in a few years, players' computers will be updated and be able to withstand tens of thousands of players playing on the same game map. Maybe

At that time, the era of global unified servers will come. At present, it is too early!

"Boss!" Qiao-Wan Canhem looked at Lin Feng pitifully. Whenever he thought of thousands of players fighting in the game and using various strategies and tactics, Qiao-Wan Canchem became very excited.

.Although small servers can also host player games, the scale and atmosphere are undoubtedly much smaller, which is inevitably disappointing. And this is also related to the profit sharing of each game development team. After all, the fewer players, the more natural the company will be.

The less they earn, the smaller the profit share of their game development team.

In particular, "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" enjoys the privilege of a global unified server architecture there, but other game development teams do not. This naturally makes other game teams jealous, and what is even worse is the fourth game of Jovan Canhem.

The development team is American. This inevitably makes people wonder whether Lin Feng is too biased towards his compatriots. Although this idea only flashed in Qiao-Wan-Kanchem's mind, it was inevitable that he could not help but show it in his expression.

He glanced at Qiu Xin, the leader of the second game development team in charge of "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country".

Love comes from the heart!

Lin Feng is in charge of a company close to hundreds of billions of dollars. In addition to relying on foresight, he also relies on reading people and observing people's psychological activities from the subtleties. Nowadays, Lin Feng reads most often on airplanes or before going to bed.

The book is - "Psychological Manipulation", written by (American) Ewing Weber.

When a company develops to a certain scale, management is the key. Management manages people, but the human heart is the most complex. If you want to understand the human heart, psychology is naturally the first choice. It can be said that all successful managers are basically

He is a master of psychology and can infer his subordinates' intentions and psychological activities at the moment from his every move, facial expression, and subconscious activity.

Therefore, when Qiao Wan Canhem inadvertently glanced at Qiu Xin, who was two seats away from him, Lin Feng caught his intention and was secretly alert. His "second world" was now transnational.

The company has internal members from all over the world. As the chairman and president, he must be on the same page, otherwise it will definitely not be conducive to the development of the company. And if it is not handled well, it may cause the company to fall apart. Such examples have been in history

Among them, it is very common.

Lin Feng took a small sip of the ginseng tea, and after brewing it for a while, he had an idea in his mind.

"First of all, I would like to apologize for the economic losses caused to the company by adopting a global unified server architecture in "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country"!" Lin Feng said cautiously.

Everyone was shocked.

"Originally, I thought that the global unified server architecture could bring huge profits and popularity to the company, but I did not consider whether the players' computers support it, as well as the cost of the supercomputer architecture. I would like to apologize to all the shareholders of the company." Lin

Feng stood up and bowed slightly and said.

There was a sound of surprise in the conference room. No one thought that Lin Feng would apologize in front of everyone. Originally, "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" adopted a global unified server architecture. At that time, everyone also expressed different opinions, but at that time Lin Feng had

With absolute equity, no one can voice objections and can only obey.

Later, in order to fulfill its promise to players, "Second World" lost money in building servers. Although everyone didn't say anything, they still had some complaints in their hearts. After all, Qiu Xin's Second Game Development Team developed "Swordsman Love: The True Loyalty"

Although "Serving the Country" also brought huge profits to the company, it was not proportional to the company's investment in building servers.

However, according to the company's agreement, the second game development team still received the same profit share as other game development teams. This naturally made other game development teams complain and feel faintly dissatisfied. However, currently "Second World"

Its performance is booming and it is now one of the most promising IT companies in the world. The other one is "Google", so people naturally bury this complaint in their hearts.

But if a crisis breaks out in the future, these hidden conflicts will burst out violently, which will be fatal to the company.

"Boss..., I..." Qiu Xin is not a fool. In ordinary communication, from the eyes and attitudes of others, it is natural to see that other game development teams have a negative attitude towards him and his game development team.

opinion, but he couldn’t say anything and didn’t know what to say. If there was no profit sharing, the hard work of more than 100 employees of the Second Game Development Team for 18 months and more than 14 hours a day would be in vain. It can be collected

Even with this share, we are also subject to gossip from other game development teams, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Team Leader Qiu, this has nothing to do with you, it's my fault." Unexpectedly, Wu Zhaopu stepped forward at this time, stopped Qiu Xin, and stood up, "Everyone, I proposed the architecture of this global unified server to my boss in private.

This is what I insist on. After all, in the future, with the development of computer hardware and the expansion of network bandwidth, global unified servers are imperative for online games. But I have forgotten the limitations of real technology and funds. This matter has nothing to do with the boss. He is

You have suffered it for me. Here, I deeply apologize and I am willing to accept any administrative punishment from the company!" Wu Zhaopu said with a deep bow.

"Mr. Wu!" Lin Feng called softly.

Wu Zhaopu did this, obviously to take the blame for Lin Feng. After all, the global unified server architecture was proposed by Lin Feng himself. When it was proposed, Wu Zhaopu had privately opposed it, but with Lin Feng's insistence and the joining of Bruce Allen

, which gave the "Second World" the possibility to develop its own supercomputer, and thus successfully implemented a unified global server architecture.

This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Wu Zhaopu.

Lin Feng wanted to explain. After all, it was his fault and he had to admit it. Unexpectedly, when he was about to speak, he was stepped on by Wu Zhaopu.

Lin Feng frowned and watched Wu Zhaopu wink at him. After thinking for a moment, he immediately understood what Wu Zhaopu meant by this move. Wu Zhaopu was taking the "blame" for himself, and there was only one reason why he wanted to take the "blame" for himself.

Maintain your absolute authority and "myth" in front of everyone in the company.

Since Lin Feng founded the "Second World", he has never failed. All his decisions are extremely correct. Invisibly, he has established a "mythical" image in front of everyone in the company that never makes mistakes. This "mythical" image makes "

"Second World" fully believed that Lin Feng could lead them to success when facing any difficulties.

In Wu Zhaopu's view, Lam Feng's image is very beneficial to the company's stability and long-term development. Unless necessary, it is best not to destroy Lam Feng's "mythical" image and let it continue to be maintained.

Especially when "Second World" is listed and becomes a joint-stock company listed on Nasdaq, it may be attacked or acquired by other consortiums at any time. Although Lin Feng holds 35% of the shares, plus the shares held by Chinese people like them, "

It can be said that the "Second World" definitely belongs to Lin Feng. But if one of them sells the company's shares, and other consortiums intend to acquire it, it is not impossible that the "Second World" will slip from Lin Feng's hands. At that time, it will not only be Lin Feng.

Feng's regret is also the regret of all Chinese people.

In the 53 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, a "Second World" and Lin Feng have finally emerged. Wu Zhaopu absolutely does not want to let Qi Qi become the prey of other financial groups. The "Second World" must not repeat the same mistakes and take the "Second World"

Tencent’s old path.

Lin Feng's "mythical" image helps Lin Feng maintain the company's authority and dominance in the company. As for his image and status in the company, Wu Zhaopu thinks it is not important. What's more, Lin Feng is by no means that kind of person.

A person who burns down donkeys and burns bridges. And as a vice president who is not greedy for power, not petty, and can take the blame, Wu Zhaopu is believed to be the favorite of all bosses.

Naturally, Lin Feng would not let Wu Zhaopu's hard work go to waste.

"Mr. Wu, although this is what you insist on, I agree. As for your punishment, I have decided to demote you one level in the administrative position, but temporarily take over the position of vice president. As for the financial punishment, I will take it on your behalf.

Starting today, next year 2003, my salary as president will be US$1." Lin Feng announced.

Everyone was in an uproar. Lin Feng served as the president of the "Second World". According to the current economic situation of the "Second World", his annual salary was US$20 million. Lin Feng's bold refusal of the US$20 million was admirable. Although Lin Feng

Feng is the third richest man in the world, with more than 40 billion US dollars in assets, but it is surprising that he so boldly refused an annual salary of 20 million US dollars.

However, with Wu Zhaopu’s admission of error, administrative downgrade, and Lin Feng’s self-imposed fine, the matter of global unified server architecture was finally revealed. The company has since returned to a harmonious situation.

"Boss, I understand, "Invincible Heroes Online" will still adopt the server architecture of ordinary online games." At this time, Qiao-Van Kanchem no longer had any dissatisfaction and resentment.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng smiled. If that was all, it would not satisfy these game talents from all over the world. After all, except for the ban on Lin Feng’s CEO salary of 20 million US dollars, the other penalties were all fun.

What's more, in Lin Feng's view, although the global unified server architecture cannot be realized at present, it can "save the country through curves."

"No, Canhem, you can still adopt a global unified server architecture." Lin Fengxiao said.

At this time, everyone in the conference room didn't understand. They didn't know what Lin Feng wanted to say. They disagreed for a while, admitted their mistake, and agreed again, which made everyone really confused.

After thinking for a long time, Qiao-Wan-Kanhem patted his head helplessly and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, boss, I really can't figure out what you mean, boss!" Joe Van Canhem said helplessly.

Everyone looked at Lin Feng expectantly. Especially Wu Zhaopu, who couldn't figure out what Lin Feng meant. Although he was willing to take the blame for Lin Feng, it was not a good thing to always take the blame. If he could take the blame one less time, it would be one less time.

"Haha, although the global unified server architecture cannot be implemented currently, it is the general trend in the future. We can completely build it in advance. As long as the computer hardware development and bandwidth meet the requirements, we will be able to launch the global unified server.

"Lin Fengzhan said.

"But, boss, if we adopt a global unified server architecture, when I set up "Invincible Heroes Online", I must set the game map and related facilities according to a certain proportion of the number of people online. This cannot be changed. At that time, I

The game server adopts a global unified server architecture, which can accommodate millions or even tens of millions of players online at the same time, but in the end there were only a few thousand players online. These thousands of players in the game may be just like playing

Just like a single-player game, it’s hard to meet other players,” said Jovan Canhem.

Qiu Xin also added on the side.

"Yes, boss, "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" was also developed according to the global unified server architecture. In the end, it could no longer be modified and could only use a supercomputer architecture server with a negative profit ratio. If we still use a global unified server

If the structure is changed, "Invincible Heroes Online" will face the same dilemma as "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" at that time." Qiu Xin said worriedly.

After hearing this, everyone looked worried. But Lin Feng smiled cheerfully.

"Haha, yes, your concerns are correct. But this idea of ​​mine can perfectly take into account both cost and future game development trends." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned, held their breath, and waited quietly for Lin Feng to say more.

"Kanchem, you develop the game according to the global unified server architecture, but the game scenario is temporarily limited to the maximum online quota of 500,000." Lin Feng said.

Qiao Wan Kanhem frowned, and after hearing Lin Feng's words, he didn't understand what Lin Feng meant even more.

""Invincible Heroes Online" uses two types of servers. Among them, the game client adopts a global unified server architecture and uses a supercomputer as the game server. It is guaranteed to accommodate between 400,000 and 500,000 online players. I believe that when "Invincible Heroes Online" is developed,

, the computer hardware at that time should have been able to meet such requirements." Lin Feng said.

Bruce Aron and Ruiz, the vice president of the "amd" development department, nodded. However, the rest of the game development team was confused and did not understand what Lin Feng meant.

"What I mean is that the game client on a supercomputer architecture is used as the game itself (large game scene, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of players), and the game client on the ordinary game server architecture is the game copy (small game scene)

, usually accommodating thousands of people). All ordinary players play in the dungeon, and only top players can enter the advanced server and play in the same large-scale game scene with top players from other places around the world." Lin Feng explained in detail.

.

Everyone’s eyes lit up after hearing this!

"As for this qualification, we can use various competitions and rankings to judge. Players who meet this qualification will have their player accounts automatically upgraded to VIP accounts and enter large-scale game server scenarios. Ordinary players can only play on ordinary game servers.

.This will not only allow the games developed by our company to be integrated with the global unified server architecture in the future, but also create a certain degree of competition among players, allowing them to work hard to enter high-end servers. I believe this will definitely stimulate players' desire to play. At the same time,

We only need to provide a supercomputer as a high-end server, and the company can fully afford it in terms of cost," said Lin Feng.

After listening and thinking about it carefully, everyone applauded. This solution couldn't be better. It can be said to take into account the advantages of all aspects. Although most players are still unable to enjoy the thrill of a large map played by hundreds of thousands of people at the same time, it can allow

Among them, outstanding players enter high-end servers to experience this pleasure. Spending the same money, they naturally hope to enjoy better services.

This will undoubtedly make players more involved in the game and bring more revenue to the company, without affecting the company's costs at all!

Wonderful! It's really wonderful! - Everyone's eyes looked at Lin Feng with admiration again. Only their boss could come up with this idea.

"Minwu-Li, your World War can also be set up like this, divided into advanced servers and ordinary servers. I believe that the difficulty of development will be reduced a lot, and the cost can be well controlled." Lin Feng reminded.

Minwu-Li Zhong nodded. If the advanced server structures the game main body and the ordinary server structures the game copies, then everything will be simpler.

"Your game can also be set up like this, using both advanced servers and ordinary servers to meet the company's development and current cost needs." Lin Feng looked at the rest of the people.

Cui Mingze and others also nodded.

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the problem of a global unified server architecture was completely solved. The company no longer has to bear the burden of huge costs!

"By the way, what happened to "The Strongest on Earth"?" Then, Lin Feng looked at Xishan Takashi.
Chapter completed!
