Otherworldly Architect

After getting a general understanding of the achievements of "Minecraft", Mingyan had another lunch.

Then, he unhurriedly contacted the number left by the editor-in-chief of Feiyang Platform.

The other end of the phone was still a bit noisy, as if in a large space, many people were busy working.

Isn't the Feiyang platform getting cold recently? Why are there so many editors?

Ming Yan said: "Hey, I am Ming Yan."

As soon as these words came out, the editor-in-chief immediately covered the phone and made a gesture.

The noisy environment instantly becomes audible for needle drop.

The editor-in-chief said: "Hello, architect Ming, I am Luo Youjin, the editor-in-chief of Feiyang Game Publishing Platform."

This is "bright architect", very real.

Ming Yan said: "Oh, I saw the release of the game this morning, and the data is good. I remembered that you called me a lot, so I called back one."

Nice data!

What a light-hearted word!

The editor-in-chief took a deep breath: "...You're joking! This data is not only good, it's really beyond our expectations! That's right, the reason why I contact you today is to announce the good news, "Minecraft" Now it is number one in the 24-hour download chart; the second is to talk about our contract renewal. I read the contract and signed with you for a 20-day exclusive starter, and the follow-up cooperation depends on the situation. Now Didn't we cooperate very well... I want to talk with you about the renewal of the contract and the share, and our follow-up recommendation-"

Ming Yan said: "Oh, no need. Just follow the contract and continue to issue 10% of the normal contract for five years."

Today is different. The 10% renewal has made the editor-in-chief overjoyed.

Next, the two sides chatted about the details and ended the communication happily.

What Ming Yan didn't know was that at this moment, Feiyang Platform Company was already celebrating the festival.

The traffic brought by the launch of "Minecraft" has brought nearly 20,000 new registered users to the Feiyang platform, because after all, there is no second platform to download it on the Internet.

What's more gratifying is that because of players who are immersed in this game, the online time of users on the platform has also been greatly improved! Today, there are at least 10,000 people who have been online for 10 hours in a row. They are simply addicted to the game!

Once the news came out, everyone in the industry fell through their glasses.

The keen big capitals turned around immediately, and the stock price of Feiyang platform is rising steadily.

Two editors who had long been planning to leave their jobs turned around suddenly. They appeared for the first time this week and came to work.

One of them was put in a corner to play Minecraft. The editor-in-chief asked him to have an in-depth experience today, and then immediately wrote a thousand-word evaluation soft article, and went to the external forum to attract more players.

As for the original intern editor, he hasn't had time to change his uniform, but the famous brand on his chest has been replaced by "official editor"!

A day ago, he signed a contract for 10% without authorization, and gave a recommendation position to a small editor without authorization. These were originally things that brushed aside the ball and still needed to write an inspection report.

But now, it has become that Bole has a crush on Maxima at a glance, buys it against all opposition, and then wisely and decisively dedicates resources to cultivate it!

Feiyang Company has even informed him to prepare a lecture for all employees, the content is to introduce why he can be sure that "Minecraft" has potential, and how to promote the launch agreement of a masterpiece.

The intern... no, the new editor straightened his chest with a smile on his face, and said, "Yes, I must prepare well!"

…

On the other side, Ming Yan had just finished lunch, and the communicator kept ringing, half of which were email reminders.

"Minecraft"'s results are very popular, it has occupied the first place in local news, and it has obviously attracted the attention of all platforms.

Many small platforms are anxious to cooperate with Mingyan, hoping that the game will be released on their own platforms after the exclusive launch period has passed in 20 days.

—Although the first bite of the crab is gone, I can still drink the soup.

Feiyang is only a small traffic platform, and it is impossible to guide all player groups to its own. Every platform has the opportunity to use this work to attract fans.

For these invitations, Ming Yan responded uniformly with a standard format of 10% after 20 days.

For this kind of small contract, he can give a template, and then let Zhinao help sign all the contracts that agree with the content of the agreement. You don't need to pay attention every day.

In the afternoon, Ming Yan finally received a major event.

Aijia called, and it was Wiles from the marketing department.

Facts have proved that good horses also have to eat grass, really fragrant!

This time Wiles no longer has any contempt, and congratulates Mingyan on his current achievement very politely, and then said: "That's it, we IPP invite you again—"

"Do you still want to buy it out?" Ming Yan said with a smile.

Wiles said quickly: "No, our manager wants to talk to you about the launch of "Minecraft" on the IPP platform."

The big platform at the top of the pyramid is good, even if it has broken up, I will never worry that the collaborator will turn his head and leave.

The reason is very simple, they cover almost 90% of player resources and cannot be bypassed.

Ming Yan said, "You don't have hundreds of managers like this, do you?"

"No." Wiles said, "It's the marketing general manager of our first branch in the satellite area, Mr. Xia Cheng."

two hours later.

Ming Yan has put on formal clothes and is standing at the entrance of IPP's Star Station.

This is the most luxurious commercial area here, and it is worth every inch of land. The towering building in front of me is afraid that it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars if it is not just land.

Just one branch is far from the headquarters of the small local company Vayela.

Aijia is really rich.

According to statistics from the All Chaoyang Alliance this year, there are more than 300 billion people, of which there are more than 180 billion registered game players - due to the strong support of the government, this proportion is only so large.

Among so many players, more than 60% have played at least one game on the Aijia platform.

Players are traffic, and traffic is money.

Aijia is among the top 100 companies in the Chaoyang Alliance, and its profitability is also remarkable, second only to those big players who mine ores, sell arms, and develop black technology.

After Mingyan entered the reservation channel, he quickly checked with the above. After passing through the security inspection channel, Mingyan waited in the lounge for a while.

The clean and tidy furnishings in the building make people feel very comfortable. The sun shines directly into the floor-to-ceiling glass, and the light gray modern sofa looks neat and ironed.

A few employees with their work permits passed by chatting and laughing, and went to the lounge to make two cups of coffee and have a pleasant afternoon tea time.

There is a cute pot of succulents on the table, Ming Yan stared at it for a while.

Then, the beautiful female secretary came over and told him to go to the general manager's office.

General Manager Xia's office is quite spacious, but it is of a normal size, and it is well organized.

Ming Yan didn't pay much attention, and shook hands with Xia Cheng first.

- The other party is unexpectedly young.

Xia Cheng looked to be less than thirty years old, with light-colored blond hair slightly curly, facial features with mixed-race features, deep-set eye sockets, and quite imposing when his lips were tightly pursed.

However, with a smile on his face, he looks like a young master from a well-educated family.

Ming Yan looked at the young man in front of him with admiration, and the first impression in his heart was: a young lion.

"Mr. Ming," Xia Cheng said, "time is precious, let's get straight to the point. IPP hopes to invite you to settle on our platform with a 15% cut."

15%.

Very bold, Xia Cheng understood the potential of "Minecraft" very well and gave an amazing price. When IPP found it, it only opened 22%.

Mingyan smiled and said, "My price is 10%."

Xia Cheng looked at him quietly, his emerald green eyes were deep and sharp. "I'll give you the best resources to get the best results," he said.

Ming Yan said: "One yard is one yard. This is my work, and I know how much profit it can bring."

"No." Xia Cheng said, "It's not Minecraft that I invite, but you."

Ming Yan was a little surprised.

"In my own name, I sincerely invite you to join IPP's R&D Department in the Sixth Star Province." Xia Cheng said, "2.8 times 16, this is the annual salary I offer you. The company will pay for your food in full. accommodation and meeting all job requirements. If you have any questions, you can contact my secretary.”

He handed out a black business card from the business card box on the table and took it clearly.

It was Xia Cheng's personal business card, with two phone calls for work and personal affairs - it can be said to be sincere.

For a fresh graduate who has just graduated, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a top offer to get such a generous salary.

Such TOP100 large companies pay graduates salaries according to grades. For example, talents in grade A pay 200,000-250,000, B grades 180,000-200,000, C grades 150,000-180,000...

Only those geniuses at the top of the pyramid who are truly valued will be given a special amount.

That is, the legendary "private custom offer".

"General Manager Xia, I hope you understand one thing," Ming Yan took the business card and said, "The initial concept of Minecraft came from an ancient game. I'm just a working boy who writes documents, implements and draws textures."

Xia Cheng clasped his hands and said, "I know, I know a lot of your information. If you allow me, I hope to be able to read the full text of your graduation thesis."

Mingyan pondered for a while and said, "The thesis is fine, but... I'm sorry, I don't plan to join any company at the moment."

In his plan, the design and development of the next game has already been put on the agenda.

If we say that "Minecraft" is a sales miracle of independent works, it has been recorded in the history of games with sales of more than 5 million copies and a revenue of 2.2 billion US dollars.

Then that game can be said to be the pinnacle of competitive confrontation, and its revenue can be said to be breathtaking.

As of the day of Blue Star's disease, the latter has garnered 5.69 billion US dollars worldwide, and it is climbing again every year, reaching as much as 2.1 billion US dollars in the last year.

It is a well-deserved "money printing machine".
