In the blink of an eye, 2015 has entered the second half of the year, and the beginning of July is not so good for most people.
Especially for those stock investors who are buying the bottom and copying on the top of the mountain, compared with the pleasure of a white knife going in and a red knife coming out, cutting flesh with a dull knife is the most painful thing.
To cut or not to cut, that is a question, reincarnation continues.
However, people's joys and sorrows are not connected with each other. To Zhou Dongsheng, who was watching the fire from the other side, he just felt that they were noisy.
Seeing that the weather was sunny today, after presiding over the overall situation of Little People Media, Zhou Dongsheng came to the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds game studio out of boredom, which he called "inspection work".
This is the first time that Zhou Dongsheng, the investor, namer and largest shareholder of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", has come to the studio to inspect.
Although the studio is located in the building next door to the same campus as Little Man Media, but... Zhou Dongsheng only remembered such a thing today.
After all, compared to investing in stocks where you can immediately see gains and losses by just throwing money in, game development work is still relatively long and boring.
Especially for Zhou Dongsheng, who has never been exposed to "Programming: From Getting Started to Giving Up", looking at the series of programming codes, the feeling is probably the same as in a math class, one head and two big.
Of course, this does not prevent Zhou Dongsheng, as "Party A", from coming to the studio to inspect and find no faults in the code. Zhou Dongsheng can still provide some ideas on abstract issues such as game mechanics and painting style.
.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng is also a fan of chicken games. He doesn't know how to play the game, but he knows how to make it more fun. As a player, he knows his way around it.
After listening to some "blind guidance" from Zhou Dongsheng, Brandon Green also admired from the bottom of his heart.
"Oh my god, I can't believe it, BOSS, you know so much about the battle royale game. I guarantee to God that with BOSS's guidance, our game development progress will be as fast as a rocket!"
Zhou Dongsheng twitched his lips and said helplessly to Li Jiana: "Translation is translation, can you please stop using this damn translation accent?"
Li Jiana said innocently: "But the literal meaning is indeed translated like this."
Resisting the urge to kick Li Jiana's ass with size 44 shoes, after all, she still needs to be a full-time translator.
After hearing Brandon talk about the progress of the game's development, Zhou Dongsheng asked casually, "So, old man, according to your expectations, how long will it take for our game to be developed before it can be launched?"
Although he can no longer remember the specific launch time of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in his previous life, Zhou Dongsheng is very clear that it became popular on the entire Internet in the second half of 2017.
Because at that time, this game dominated the screen in both Internet cafes and live broadcast platforms, and its popularity once surpassed that of League of Legends, which was the most popular game in Internet cafes.
Even because of the huge user demand, a large number of Internet cafes have to invest in improving game configurations. After all, compared to League of Legends, which can be played with any configuration, the threshold configuration of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is indeed not low.
Coupled with the purchase threshold of 99 yuan, for domestic game players who have long been accustomed to free being the king, this game is like a breath of fresh air, exuding the tone of "love to play or not to play".
Even though the threshold is not low, it still failed to prevent PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds from becoming popular all over the world. In a short period of time, it became a phenomenon-level game rivaling League of Legends.
For three consecutive years, there has been a craze for eating chicken from PC games to mobile games. The popularity remains high and it has attracted tens of millions of users around the world. Its terrifying ability to attract money has even made Tenda jealous...
Zhou Dongsheng briefly recalled what little he knew about the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. In addition to its global popularity, it also has a huge potential risk in the domestic market.
Gu Ku
That’s the version number issue! Even Internet giants like Tenda, who are well-versed in the matter, have not been able to solve this problem, which shows how fatal this potential hidden danger is.
Even during the "charity" operation of the chicken-eating mobile game for more than a year, it finally turned around by getting a mobile game version in the name of "Peace Elite" and turning a profit after repeatedly enduring hardships and self-castration.
Perhaps because of this problem, Blue Hole was not acquired by Tenda like the parent company of League of Legends. It only paid over 3 billion to take 10% of the shares. Meaning...
Listening to the questions translated by Li Jiana, Brandon Green showed a look of embarrassment on his face, "According to the current research and development progress, it may take 1 or even 2 years to complete. Although there are some veterans I brought
The guys plus a group of newly recruited R&D personnel, but the team has just been formed and it still needs some time to run in..."
Zhou Dongsheng also frowned slightly when he heard this. If we look at it in two years, it will be the second half of 2017, which is not conducive to Zhou Dongsheng's plan to make a time difference.
Moreover, with Zhou Dongsheng's intervention, the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" project will definitely be launched earlier than in the previous life, but the launch time may be later than in the previous life...
Obviously, as one of the formula variables, Blue Hole Studio still occupies a large proportion in the development of this game.
Although Zhou Dongsheng knows nothing about technology research and development, it does not mean that he cannot help.
"Oh, my old man, I think this is not an intractable problem. It will take time to integrate the team, but wouldn't it be enough to introduce a more mature technical team to provide technical support?"
Brandon listened to Zhou Dongsheng's layman's speech. Ideally, this would be the case, but...
"That's the truth BOSS, but the mature technical teams are basically affiliated with major game companies. If you want to ask them for help, it may not be a matter of money..." Brandon said a little tactfully.
"Oh, old man, of course I know, but I happen to know the boss of a major game company. I came here today just to take you over and talk about cooperation." Zhou Dongsheng showed a bright smile.
After all, the reason why Zhou Dongsheng remembered that he still had such a big project and rushed over to inspect the work today was not to give some "blind guidance" and show his majesty as Party A.
Although... although there is some meaning in it, the main purpose of Zhou Dongsheng's coming here today is because Ding Sanshi, the big boss, finally arrived belatedly in Yangcheng.
Zhou Dongsheng, who had the contact information of the big boss, knew the news immediately and made an appointment for a visit. The location was set at the pig factory headquarters building in Yangcheng.
Although Zhou Dongsheng had verbally reached an investment intention with Ding Sanshi at the previous party in Shanghai.
But a top Internet tycoon like Ding Sanshi, who has long been successful and famous, will definitely not take such a trivial project to heart, and may accidentally forget about it.
In business cooperation, cooperation can only be truly concluded if it is signed in black and white. Before that, everything is subject to change.
Of course, for a top boss like Ding Sanshi, he would be very angry. Such a trivial small project is not enough to break his trust.
As for a small project like this, there is actually no need for him, the helmsman of the pig factory, to take care of it personally. He just needs to leave it to the people below to follow up and coordinate.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng naturally chose to take the initiative and hug his thighs decisively.
Although Zhou Dongsheng has little capital now, compared with Ding Sanshi, he is still an insignificant "little guy".
After all, Ding Sanshi was also the richest man in the country.
