An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 377 A Stronger Opponent Than Rice

What do you think?

What else can I see?

When he wanted to ask this sentence, Mr. Liu already had the answer in his heart.

Especially when he saw the person standing beside him, Huang Chao had almost guessed Mr. Liu's intention of calling him here, so he took the initiative to follow his words very sensiblely.

"In fact, in terms of single-round image quality and gameplay, from my point of view, our "Oracle" is not inferior to the new work of Yunmeng Games. However, any game has its lifespan, and our disadvantage is precisely in the Here. The oracle has been in operation for five years since it was launched, and it is difficult for players to find something new in us. Even if we launch some activities with special gameplay, in the eyes of players, they are still changing. thing."

"The reason why World of Warcraft became popular is largely because the sandbox gameplay proposed by Yunmeng Game is novel enough. No other MMORPG has tried this design idea, so it has caught the attention of players once it was launched. , Naturally, it has gained heated discussions and attention from the entire Internet."

Liu Zhiping said.

"So do you have any good advice?"

Huang Chao nodded and continued.

"Of course! In my opinion, the explosion of World of Warcraft is a challenge for us, but it is also an opportunity. Although its birth has caused a lot of impact on many of our online games, but from another From a perspective, their success has proved that sandbox gameplay is feasible in the MMORPG field.”

"I believe you must know better than me that our advantage is not in the game itself, but in the huge amount of traffic mastered by the instant messaging software under the Sea Lion Group."

"Relying on these traffic, we don't even need to do much better than World of Warcraft. We just need to follow their gameplay to create a similar MMORPG game. We can not only resolve the impact of World of Warcraft on our business, but also continue to rule the Internet. The next decade of gaming!"

When Huang Chao was talking, Zhao Qiguang, who was standing aside, had no chance to interrupt, because this President Huang had already finished what he wanted to say, and there was nothing to add, so he could only applaud to express his agreement.

"Boss Huang is right! I think so too."

Huang Chao smiled and nodded.

"Accepted."

"It's really well said," Liu Zhiping, who was sitting behind the desk after hearing the whole process, nodded in approval, clapped his hands and continued, "Basically, I've said everything I wanted to say."

After a pause, Liu Zhiping looked at the two standing in front of the desk, and continued speaking in a serious tone.

"As Manager Huang said, as of today, our oracle has been in operation for 5 years. During these 5 years, this game has indeed contributed huge benefits to our group, but the times are If we don’t make changes, we will be eliminated by the market one day.”

"Actually, I have another purpose for coming here with you today."

As he spoke, Liu Zhiping took out a document from the drawer and patted it on the desk.

The moment he saw the title of this document, Huang Chao thought to himself that it was so.

And Mr. Liu's next sentence was indeed as he expected——

"Recently, we introduced a new project from our overseas partners called "Endless Epic". The gameplay is similar to World of Warcraft, and it is also an RPG-type online game that focuses on the open world."

"This new project is very important to our group. In order to cope with the impact of World of Warcraft on our group's game business, we must create a sandbox MMORPG online game that can compete with World of Warcraft in the shortest possible time."

"You are the elites of the group, and I plan to entrust you with this task. The promise I can give at the moment is that the group will give you the maximum support. Whether it is in terms of funds or promotional resources."

"From now on, there is only one thing you need to consider, and that is to keep our market share no matter what! You must not let Yunmeng Games take away the users that originally belonged to us!"

...

Compared with Yunmeng Games, Sea Lion Group has an absolute advantage in terms of traffic.

And this advantage is different from Rice Group.

Rice Group has no way to direct users who buy its own electronic products to its own APP. It can only be said that it pre-installs a lot of software in users' mobile phones that users will never use in their lifetime.

However, as a giant in the domestic instant messaging field, Sea-Lion Group can easily guide users to their desired places.

As Huang Chao said, they don't even need to do much better than Yunmeng Games. Even if they just make a product that is not too far behind, they can rely on the huge user traffic to step on World of Warcraft. soles of feet.

It is precisely because of this that when it was reported in the industry that the Sea Lion Group planned to introduce "Endless Epic", almost no one was optimistic that Yunmeng Games could keep the fruits of victory accumulated by World of Warcraft.

"It's a pity, but I ran into a sea lion."

"I had expected this day a long time ago. After all, "Oracle" is the biggest player in Sea Lion Group's game business revenue. How could they watch Yunmeng Games poach a big piece of meat from under their noses."

"It's hopeless, I can only say my condolences. In the current environment of Xia Kingdom's Internet industry, as long as it is something that is targeted by sea lions, even if you can't get it, there are ten thousand ways to destroy it for you."

"Hey, I feel sorry for Yunmeng Game for a second..."

Previously, World of Warcraft became popular online, which made many small and medium-sized game companies see hope.

It is like a banner, proving to everyone that even a game company without any background and no traffic support, as long as the game designed is fun enough, it can still win the favor of players by virtue of the game itself Push to the altar.

However, although the flag has not yet fallen, it is obviously not far from falling.

The black hand of the sea lion has already reached out.

So far, no one has been able to escape from this black hand...

However, compared to the pessimism of people in the industry, Yunmeng Group's internal views on this rumor are mostly optimistic.

the reason is simple.

For this game, Yunmeng Games is even preparing to build its own super computer.

If he was not 100% sure, how could Mr. Hao bet such a huge chip on a game that might be yellow due to external factors?

obviously!

Mr. Hao must have absolute confidence, even if the opponent is the Sea Lion Group, they will not be at a disadvantage! Maybe in his hand, he still holds a hole card that no one knows about!

In fact, Hao Yun didn't have any cards.

It's just that he really didn't feel any panic about the rumors in the industry, as most employees saw, as if the so-called threat didn't exist at all...

"...This "Endless Epic" is an MMORPG game designed by the well-known Korean game studio "Gold Digger". At the same time, you can freely combine and match eight main occupations and twelve sub-jobs in life.”

In the conference room, Hao Yun touched his chin thoughtfully after listening to Li Zongzheng's report.

"It seems... nothing special."

Most of the fantasy RPG online game settings are like this, "World of Warcraft" is like this, "Endless Epic" is like this, and even "Oracle" that was launched five years ago is like this, and it has not been able to find any tricks. .

The reason why World of Warcraft is popular all over the Internet is not because of the diversity of career settings and combinations, but because of the almost unlimited "content" automatically generated by artificial intelligence algorithms, so that players can continue to discover this Aizen. The secrets of the world of Rath, and decide the fate of the world.

"Mr. Hao, I think... it's better for us to pay attention to the upcoming "Endless Epic"." Looking at Mr. Hao who didn't take this matter too seriously, Li Zongzheng hesitated for a moment and said, "After all The other party is not a newcomer, at least he is a veteran game manufacturer with more than ten years of game development experience."

"I know, I don't mean to take it lightly. It's just that people are using a conspiracy, and you can't come up with any special way to stop this "Endless Epic" from going online."

Standing up from the desk, Hao Yun walked to Li Zongzheng's side, put his hands on his shoulders, and said in a serious tone.

"There is only one thing we can do now, and that is to release the official version as soon as possible...Before they do."

Perhaps because he heard the solemnity in Mr. Hao's tone, the expression on Li Zongzheng's face gradually became serious.

Looking at Hao Yun seriously, he said.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

"I will not let you down!"
