In the CEO's office, Xiao Ma's eyes twitched as he looked at a red gift bag on the table.
Yao Yuan has done this kind of thing once. When he and Yinyin got married, he gave Xiao Ma and Lao Ma a pack of wedding candies respectively. At that time, the gangster showed a moment of warmth and even sent him a text message to wish him well.
You can tell me not to accept this thing. It is not a dangerous item and it seems to be a small-minded person.
After receiving it, I felt very uncomfortable.
The main reason is that there are cards inside, and there are words on the cards. What if there is any important information... The people from Tencent had no choice but to send it over.
"..."
Brother Xiao Ma stared at the gift bag for a while before opening it. Inside was a 99 commemorative doll and a card with a neatly written message: You are my grandson...ah, that's not right!
It says: "It's mid-summer, when the lotus flowers are blooming, the fish are playing, the grass and trees are spreading, and Yanshan Mountain can be seen. It's not far away, if you can swim from me..."
Brother Ma didn't understand.
You can't expect a programmer to understand classical Chinese, or the improved version. Of course he doesn't want to understand it. This thing is provocative at first sight!
In fact, given his character, he really doesn’t want to agree to anything [peak dialogue].
The organizer was obviously trying to stir up trouble. WeChat had already lost, so what the hell was that? So he wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it, PKing before the battle, and running away before fighting would hurt morale!
Tencent employees have always had a shadow of 99. If the coach is still timid, he may not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
So he decided to go anyway and had to make complete preparations.
…………
Shanghai.
The office building of the incubation base, MiHoYo.
The group of six was still working hard on the new game, sometimes bursting with inspiration, sometimes scratching their hearts, and sometimes even quarreling. While they were busy, Liu Wei suddenly answered a phone call.
I went out and chatted for a long time before I came back. When I came back, I came back with a lewd smile on my face.
This person may not be vulgar, but his otaku style and appearance make him look very vulgar.
"Good news! Good news!"
He clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said: "The Mobile Internet Conference will be held in Beijing next month. President Song asked us to go together!"
"Do you want to include air tickets?"
"How much does the meal cost?"
"Are you staying in a five-star hotel?"
"Can you see Doraemon?"
A group of homeboys chattered lively. Liu Wei maintained order and said: "Food, accommodation and transportation should be included. Mr. Song said that the standards this time are very high and many big shots will attend. Skye Network has a special event, and we, as developers,
I have to go and help out."
"Is it for displaying the works?" Cai Haoyu asked.
"That's enough. Let me briefly introduce the genre, background, and gameplay."
"Oh, then I'll make a sample."
Cai Haoyu stopped talking after asking, put on his headphones and continued working. Today he wore a combat uniform of Shinji Ikari from "EVA" and played cosplay by himself.
Luo Yuhao asked: "Will 99 participate?"
"I don't know. I should attend such a big meeting."
"Wow, then I must go and see Commander Yao!"
"We go together, we go together. At that time, Maiwo was my only spiritual food."
"Hey, I entered the first goddess competition, but unfortunately they were all three-dimensional women. It would have been better if I had chosen the two-dimensional one."
"I think Maiwo was indeed at the forefront of the times before, but now it is a bit conservative. If you look at their games, they are still those old-fashioned martial arts, martial arts, and immortal cultivation. They are boring."
"I think "DNF" and "League of Legends" are good!"
""DNF" is fun, "League of Legends" is too tiring. I don't like competitive games. Games should be relaxed and cute."
A few people started chatting, and after chatting for a while, it seemed as if the machine suddenly shut down, the conversation ended, and everyone went busy again. This was their normal work routine.
As the only outgoing butler, Liu Wei has another task: to make a simple speech to promote a new game.
So amidst the sounds of typing on the keyboard, he scratched his head at his desk and bit his pen in distress.
…
In the not-too-distant era of feature phones, there would also be application software. If you wanted to develop something, it would all be based on JAVA.
At that time, there was a company called Skye Network, and the boss was named Song Tao.
He built a mobile operating platform - Bubble Community, which includes QQ, games, Internet, music, books, etc. It has everything, but it is only 1/3 the size of the equivalent JAVA file.
In fact, it was an app store in the feature phone era, and it was probably the first to do this in China.
Their technology is very good and can run smoothly on very poor hardware. In layman's terms: Skye cannot compete with big brands such as Samsung, Nokia, and Motorola. They can only find copycat phones with bad configurations.
But later on, it became very powerful. Skye unified the built-in software of copycat phones, developed more than 20 million users, and successfully launched it in the United States.
At the end of 2011, Skye was shorted in the U.S. stock market, but at this time, Skye invested 1 million in MiHoYo, which was a lottery mentality.
Winning is the best, but if you don't win, you will lose 1 million.
With this 1 million, MiHoYo developed a game "Honkai Academy", which is the "beautiful girl killing zombies" game they are currently researching.
Mainly on the Apple platform, there are almost no publicity resources, the response is mediocre, and the results are poor.
MiHoYo was facing bankruptcy for a time. At that time, some investors came to us and wanted to invest, but they all asked for a change of project, allowing them to make Three Kingdoms, martial arts, and immortality games.
was rejected.
In Liu Wei's words: "We really want to start a business, but the prerequisite is to do what we want to do. At that time, many people thought that the field of domestic animation had no future and that there was no way to make money in the past.
But we just want to do it, so we are still very determined. We must keep doing it, and we will take it one step at a time..."
So in 2014, "Honkai Academy 2" was launched. The main reason for the success of this game was not only its own quality, but also the fact that they found the right channel. They cooperated with Station B, which had become a two-dimensional base at that time.
This kind of fit is like Lu Benwei pouring on cappuccino - a sure shot!
John Khan Jr. married Yui Aragaki—a match made in heaven!
Qin Shihuang touched the switch - he won!!
From then on, the glorious history of MiHoYo began...
As for Skye Network, it failed to transform well with the advent of smartphones and slowly withdrew from the stage. However, it is still alive and has switched to marketing and smart medical care.
The most amazing thing is that Skye’s boss Song Tao still owns 15% of miHoYo...
Now in 2012, Skye Network is in its most embarrassing transition period. It is a strong application player in the era of feature phones and is very representative, so it was also invited to the Mobile Internet Conference.
It stands to reason that Skye is also an application channel.
But Yao Yuan attacked this and that, and directly killed 91 without touching Skye... Well, there are no complicated factors, it's just because he didn't like the remnant of this era of feature phones.
