Chapter 114 The tacit honeymoon development period
The car drove not far away and stopped in front of the red light at the intersection.
Under the colorful light strips in the central city, Wen Liang, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't see the look on Wan An's face.
There is a strange hazy feeling.
Wen Liang rubbed his brow, the alcohol content tonight was very low, it was nothing more than a relaxed mood on a happy day.
It gives him a headache!
However, as soon as Wan An finished speaking, he really felt a little headache.
In the end, Wen Liang just said in a neutral tone: "Drive well and don't think too much at night."
Wan An opened his mouth, and finally just responded: "Oh."
Her hesitant expression did not fall into Wen Liang's sight.
Wen Liang didn't pay much attention to his secretary, who seemed to have no sense of security.
Now, Wen Liangzhen is a little curious about what Wan An thinks about when riding a horse every day.
'How do you want to gain trust?'
‘You don’t have to think about riding on a horse?’
'Want options?'
'Now is not the time for this.'
Wen Liang glanced at Wan An, who was driving seriously, and decided to have a good chat with the secretary tomorrow.
…………
Early the next morning.
Downstairs in the Silver Gray Building, Wen Liang met his friends, including Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng, who were gone to school.
Everyone looked clearly refreshed.
Wen Liang smiled and said nothing.
Everyone also had a tacit understanding that nothing happened last night.
A group of 8 people got on the same elevator. The elevators stopped one floor above the other, two on the 7th floor, two on the 8th floor, a few on the 9th floor, and some going to the 11th and 15th floors.
Sun Baoyin, who was supposed to go to the 11th floor, got off the elevator on the 9th floor and followed Wen Liang into the general manager's office.
The veteran cadre already had a thermos cup in his hand.
Standing in the corner of the office, Sun Baoyin took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Wen Liang. He said straight to the point: ""God of War" is on the right track. I think it's time to determine the core of the mobile game business."
"From the beginning of January to now, I have integrated and sorted out the information of the game industry many times. Looking at the mobile game industry alone, I think the MOBA (multiplayer online tactical competitive game) category has the potential to operate for a long time and also has the ability to radiate and iterate.
Ability."
After briefly speaking, Sun Baoyin looked at Wen Liang who was looking through the documents: "Do you think it is necessary to hold a meeting to finalize it?"
After reading the document, Wen Liang looked up at Sun Baoyin: "Why don't you use DOTA and the now popular LoL?"
Sun Baoyin nodded: "These IPs are more troublesome to set up."
Wen Liang's brows were raised, and he felt a little weird in his heart.
“Different paths lead to the same destination?”
"Is this going to steal the king of the goose factory?"
The vitality of MOBA games is indeed very strong.
Nowadays, no one would have thought that LOL could be so long-lasting. The industry has always believed that a game will only have a golden life cycle of 18 months.
The later king also became a money-attracting monster in the field of domestic mobile games.
At its peak, the king’s skin income alone had a monthly turnover of nearly 10 billion!
At that time, there was a saying: Whether you are strong or not is a matter of one version, and whether you are beautiful or handsome is a matter of your whole life.
You must know that skin is just a combination of some art resources, and the cost is beyond everyone's imagination.
But this does not affect the money-attracting ability of all skin games.
The most important thing is that the players of King are all men, women and children.
These thoughts flashed through Wen Liang's mind. He looked at Sun Baoyin, considered and said: "MOBA online games do have great potential. With the widespread popularity of smartphones, their multiplayer nature will attract more players.
"
"But I have read your draft and it is definitely no problem to establish the project now. It is a bit too early to allocate resources."
Sun Baoyin frowned when he heard this, a little confused.
Wen Liang stretched out his hand to press down, and sat down himself: "For several reasons, MOBA requires a strong main program, plot, and numerical values, which cannot be solved in a short time."
Seeing Sun Baoyin's lips move, Wen Liang smiled: "I know that Xiao Zhao is now being taught numerical planning by Professor Chang, but he needs to lead the team through practice again and again to combine the theory and apply it, and it is not suitable to directly
Get started with a very competitive game like MOBA.”
"Secondly, the development potential of MOBA games can be seen from the popularity of LOL after it was launched in China. We launched it rashly and directly made a wedding dress for others, such as Goose Factory, which is close to the water."
"The most important reason is that the penetration rate of smartphones is not enough and the hardware resources are not enough, so it can only be an ordinary project."
After speaking, Wen Liang affirmed Sun Baoyin's contribution: "It's not a matter of your direction, it's a matter of the environment. I think we can start from the concept of MOBA and start with the card flow."
"I remember there was an animation related to World of Warcraft, called "My Name is MT". That format is suitable for mobile games."
After listening to Wen Liang's analysis, Sun Baoyin felt a little ashamed.
This emotion is very complicated.
There are parts that fail to meet Wen Liang’s expectations, and there are parts that are far from Wen Liang’s vision.
Sun Baoyin rarely smiled: "I understand."
"You can make some adjustments and the development cycle should not be too long." Wen Liang added, "Anyway, we only need to ensure that it can last until the 18-month golden life cycle. The core mobile game will be considered complete."
Sun Baoyin nodded: "I will reorganize it and complete the plan modification in the afternoon."
Wen Liang calmed down: "Then let's meet before get off work."
…………
That afternoon, in the large conference room 901, the three main personnel of the game business of the R&D department, Sun Baoyin, Li Xia, and Li Ze, participated in a meeting on the core projects of the mobile game business.
Based on Sun Baoyin's draft, the core projects were quickly decided upon.
Wen Liang also made brief arrangements.
Mainly a few parts.
1. The Android application store developed by Zhang Yulin will complete the final test and be launched to the market as soon as possible.
2. Develop new games and develop casual/stand-alone games in parallel.
3. Build a unified user interface for games mainly based on mobile phone numbers. There is no need to forcefully pursue building a platform.
4,…
The first step of the mobile game business was very good, and the positive feedback effect of "make decisions before taking action" was quickly achieved.
Don’t feel too comfortable compared to the stage of developing the Little Orange Book.
…
When getting off work, Li Ze, Chen Jiaxin and others walked into Wen Liang's office.
He also called Wang Wanyu over.
They each sat down on the sofa in the office.
Wen Liang scanned the group of people and waited patiently for everyone to speak.
Seeing this, Li Ze didn't hesitate much, his thick eyebrows jumped up and down, and he said happily: "The mobile game business is developing well, the situation is great, and today it has topped the best-selling list of the iPhone App Store."
"The daily turnover just calculated today also exceeded 30,000."
After saying these two words, Li Ze shut his mouth.
Wen Liang raised his eyebrows: "No? According to this progress, the turnover will exceed 10 million in more than 300 days."
Next to her, Chen Jiaxin couldn't help but joke about Li Ze: "For the moment, I couldn't tell whether Wen was always mocking A Ze or praising him."
Li Ze scratched his head: "I don't think you need to worry about it so much. It has been a year since the company was established, and I have experienced the ease and ease of developing business. This is the first time!"
Wen Liang agrees: "It's still in the internal testing stage, and the iPad version hasn't even been launched yet. The "Coming" works very well together, so it's suitable for a steady and steady game."
"..."
After just a few words, Chen Jiaxin made her purpose clear: "We are here mainly to suggest that Mr. Wen update your car."
"It's mainly due to the company's image engineering considerations, and the other is that a good car has the comfort of a good car."
Hearing this, Wen Liang looked at Chen Jiaxin and then at Wang Wanyu: "Let's talk about a process. Buy a Mercedes-Benz S600, two or three Mercedes-Benz S350s, and a few Audi A8s and BMW 7 Series."
Wang Wanyu took over the conversation: "No problem, there is not much financial pressure now."
Wen Liang said: "You don't have to do it all in one step, just buy it in batches. There will be surprises every quarter."
Chen Jiaxin understood: "Okay, let's make arrangements for you first."
He added: "Anyone who can understand will know where to head next quarter."
Wen Liang didn't say much.
Today's Bolang can be said to be full of energy.
The actual development situation is more promising than the New Year's Day quarterly outlook.
In the public eye, venture capital's $300 million valuation of Bolang is outdated.
For a company CEO with such a high net worth, it would be no problem for Wen Liang to focus on image projects such as using cars...
However, until he got home from get off work, Wen Liang didn't think about what he decided to talk to Wan An last night.
He completely forgot about it.
…………
…………
The tacit 'cooperation' between the developers of the two Three Kingdoms mobile games over the same network has really made players excited.
Compared with client games, mobile games have the irreplaceable advantage of portability.
There are even more potential players.
There are more players who are willing to speak out in cyberspace.
Anyway, it's noisy every day.
Although Bolang and Raditon did not even have any communication after the conflict, the two parties still had a tacit understanding and entered the "honeymoon period" of development.
Today, "God of War" is doing a soft promotion from a certain angle, and I didn't forget to mention "Coming", and there may be a smell of gunpowder between the lines.
Let more players know about these two games and download and try them out.
Tomorrow "Coming" will be soft-promoted from another angle, and "God of War" will never be forgotten. The smell of gunpowder between the lines will be even stronger.
It gives players the feeling that they are about to start working.
Some rational players also participated in the discussion in a serious manner.
"Speaking of which, I quite like this format. Both games are secretly competing with each other. They have worked hard to explore the gameplay and are getting better and better in every aspect!"
"Yes, yes, it feels like the smoothness has been optimized a lot."
"So the gaming industry is better. There is competition but it is maintained at a reasonable level. It's not like Weibo before, where they did everything they could."
"It's true. Without further ado, it's time to draw cards for the "God of War" benefit."
"..."
In such a tacit "honeymoon" development state, time is like running water.
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The progress of the two games in this nominal closed beta is also very gratifying, and both games have reached the point where they can be officially launched into public beta.
In other words, it’s time to officially flush the water.
