An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 441 Xu Qianshi's Premonition

"I didn't expect this game with less than 400M to hide such a great charm."

Looking at the sales data constantly refreshed in the background, Li Zongzheng's face was full of surprise and emotion.

When Hao Yun talked to him about the new game project "Minecraft", he was actually not very optimistic about the market performance of this game.

After all, in terms of the performance of current home PCs, the pixel style of painting has long been outdated.

However, the players' reactions were beyond his expectations.

Jiang Lecheng, who was sitting by the side, yawned and said.

"I think this game is very fun. I played it until two o'clock last night before going to bed."

Judging from the thick dark circles under her eyes, it was obvious that she had stayed up late last night.

Du Ziteng on the side also nodded.

"I also think it's very interesting... Although I haven't had time to play it yet, I see that many people in the circle of friends are playing this game."

"Right?" Jiang Lecheng smiled smugly and said, "I'll just say, how could the games made by Mr. Hao not be fun! How about a batch of fun ones!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Zongzheng was stunned.

Is it because I can't keep up with the times?

Or are current players starting to feel nostalgic?

As if seeing through the confusion on President Li's face, Du Ziteng coughed lightly and continued.

"Actually, I think the main reason is that the current games are not interesting. The games on our creative workshop are not bad. I looked around the games on the electric fun platform before, and I didn't find any games that could be played."

After a pause, he continued in a helpless tone.

"A lot of games are just changing the game without changing the medicine. The same gameplay has a different shell... In contrast, Minecraft probably belongs to the kind that does not take the usual way. Although there is no fixed gameplay, it gives players The possibilities are endless."

"When you put it this way, I seem to have the same feeling," Jiang Lecheng nodded, and said thoughtfully, "For example, yesterday I found a treasure server, and the server owner turned the world into a maze-like scene , and then disabled the digging function, and the whole game became an RPG maze style. There were more than a hundred people online at the time, and it was very lively.”

"Ah, the server you mentioned, I also found it in the creative workshop before, the server owner is indeed a talent, it's a pity not to join our company." Liu Ye, who had been silent all this time, said with a smile.

Jiang Lecheng said with a smile.

"Another day, let's form a group to play black together."

"Okay! Wait until after get off work."

"Bring me one." At this moment, Li Zongzheng, who was rubbing his chin in thought, suddenly raised his hand and said with a serious face, "Listen to what you say... I think I need to re-acquaint myself with this game."

"Uh, actually, I think it would be better not to play this game with such a serious heart," Liu Ye said with a light cough as he looked at Mr. Li who stood up seriously, "This is originally a casual game, it's too serious. You can’t feel that kind of fun by just playing around.”

Jiang Lecheng nodded and said.

"I also think... how about, Mr. Li, why don't you watch the live broadcast first?"

"live streaming?"

Jiang Lecheng said.

"Hmm! Recently, many casual game anchors are broadcasting this game, and it's quite interesting to watch."

That sounds like a good idea.

Li Zongzheng thought about it, nodded and said.

"Okay then, you can push the live broadcast room to me for a while..."

As a professional game designer, he felt that it was necessary for him to figure out what makes this game so fun and why it achieved such unexpected success.

At this time, Li Zongzheng suddenly remembered what Mr. Hao said to him before——

"Happiness doesn't have to be achieved in complicated ways."

"Players themselves are the natural and best game designers."

His intuition told him that if he could understand the principles, it might be the key to breaking through the bottleneck on his path as a game designer!

...

At the same time, rice entertainment headquarters.

Standing in front of Mr. Xu's desk, Wu Jianhua, the person in charge of the marketing department, reported the latest sales of "Minecraft" to Mr. Xu.

"As of now, one million people have downloaded "Minecraft", and the popularity of major search engines continues to rise. According to the assessment of our market analysts, "Minecraft" may further open up domestic In the PC-side casual game market, the game studio under the Sea-Lion Group has launched a similar new game plan..."

After listening to Wu Jianhua's report, Xu Qianshi lightly tapped his tongue and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The price of a game is 56, one million copies is 56 million..."

And the sales figures are still growing.

The most important thing is that the development cycle of this game is less than a month, and the release time is almost in time for the second month after PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was released.

Perhaps the Yunmeng Group hadn't finished counting the money they earned on PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, yet another large bundle of banknotes was placed in front of them.

The speed of making money is just like a money printing machine!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and after obtaining permission, a secretary in business attire walked in.

"Boss Xu."

"What's wrong?"

"There is new mail for you."

"I see."

The office door closed again.

Xu Qianshi turned on the computer, logged into the mailbox and checked the unread emails. About five minutes ago, the parent company of the group sent an email.

After reading the content of the email, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wu Jianhua, who was standing opposite the desk, noticed the expression on Mr. Xu's face. Although he was curious about what was written in the email, Mr. Xu didn't open his mouth, and he didn't dare to ask more.

Just when his mind was full of thoughts, Xu Qianshi, who had finished reading the email, suddenly spoke on his own initiative.

"The Yunmeng Group has made another move."

"New action?" Wu Jianhua was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "Could it be that Resident Evil—"

"No." Shaking his head, Xu Qianshi interrupted him and continued, "This time they plan to enter the hardware field. The name of the product is 'Dreamland-1', and the function should be AR glasses."

"AR glasses?" Wu Jianhua frowned and asked in a daze, "Is there a market for that thing...?"

As early as ten years ago, many domestic electronics industry giants launched AR glasses products, but the sales volume was not optimistic. Basically, no new products came out in these years, and the main research and development strength of the group was also concentrated on mobile phones and new energy vehicles. .

"The AR glasses they launched are a bit special. They are said to be controlled by brain waves..." Xu Qianshi continued with a strange expression on his face, "And looking at the number, they seem to be planning to release a series?"

Make a series? ? ?

Wu Jianhua was stunned.

Isn't Yunmeng Group an Internet company?

How did you start researching hardware?

"...No matter how you say it, the parent company of the group seems to be very optimistic about this cooperation with Yunmeng Group, thinking that this cooperation may break the deadlock that the AR project has been unable to advance, so they greeted us in advance and asked us to try our best Maintain the friendly relationship with Yunmeng Group."

Pointing his index finger lightly on the desk, Xu Qianshi frowned and said in thought.

"But I always feel that Hao Yun is playing a big game of chess."

Wu Jianhua nodded and said silently.

"I also have this feeling."

"I even have a hunch... let them continue to develop, and it won't be long before not only games, but the entire electronic entertainment industry will undergo earth-shaking changes."
