Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

Because they have money, the HR department moves quickly.

On Thursday afternoon, Gong Yu came over to invite Wang Zheng to have a meeting with the online game department.

The department manager is Xie Shengchuan, an old man in the online game industry. He has participated in agency negotiations for three Bangguo games, and hosted and operated the game "Elf Online" in a pig factory.

The game "Elf Online" is actually pretty good, but the developer is too outrageous, and the game's plug-ins are so awesome that even the game level can be adjusted using plug-ins... So no matter how good the operation team is, they can't save it.

After poor management and closure of the service, Xie Shengchuan became invisible in the pig factory. As the deputy's deputy, he assisted in the operation of "Dahua" and "Dream". After resigning from the pig factory, he took a two-month break and was recommended to Huoyun.

Wang Zheng read the resume and felt that this person was very suitable: he had negotiation experience, understood the agency process, and had also presided over game operations, which was very suitable for Huoyun's needs. So he made the decision on the spot and just joined the job yesterday.

The others are deputies deployed at the request of Xie Shengchuan, mainly administrative staff and translators.

When we arrived at the conference room, the five members of the team, as well as Gong Yu and Zhou Ruoyun, were all there.

Gong Yu had communicated with him in advance, so Wang Zheng went straight to the point: "If the company wants to develop online game business, a good game is indispensable. Independent research and development will be slower, so we will adopt a two-step strategy of agency and research and development.

.”

"Manager Xie, our first project target is the game "DNF" from Bangguo. It is a 2D side-scrolling action online game, arcade style, free to operate props for a fee, and has very low computer performance requirements, which is very suitable for our needs."

"You should make relevant preparations and visas as soon as possible. We will leave for Bang Country the day after tomorrow. We must win the agency rights for this game as soon as possible."

That's right, Wang Zheng is also planning to go there. He wants to go there and see if there is a market for the "E2E" anti-cheat program in Bangkok. If it goes well, he can make some money along the way.

If he goes, Zhou Ruoyun will go too.

Xie Shengchuan is indeed very experienced. He quickly contacted Bangguo Neople Company, and after revealing his identity, he successfully made an appointment for negotiation.

According to Xie Shengchuan's channels, several companies such as Shengda and Old City have now set up offices in Bangguo, specifically focusing on Bangguo's gaming industry, and rushing in when they see good ones.

The game "DNF" has probably only been officially launched for a month, and the response has been mediocre, so they haven't started contacting it yet.

Xie Shengchuan was a little worried about the quality of the game, but Wang Zheng made it clear at the meeting that he wanted this game, so he had to find Gong Yu anxiously.

"Mr. Gong, I'm a little unsure about this game. After all, it's the company's first game. Should we be more cautious?"

Gong Yu smiled and said: "Manager Xie, I understand your thinking. But I'm afraid you still don't know that the business our boss wants to do has never failed so far."

"You can be as hands-off as possible, and the company will give you maximum freedom. You also have to believe in the boss's strategic vision. So far, he has not missed anything."

Gong Yu's words made Xie Shengchuan feel a little more at ease, but he still did some extra work.

This Friday's party will be held as scheduled, but there will be no dinner.

Wang Zheng smiled and said: "I have to fly to Bangkok tonight, so we can't have dinner together. You can solve it yourself."

Wang Hu stopped playing and asked curiously: "You want to go to Bangkok? What are you going to do?"

"We're going to discuss a small business." Wang Zheng didn't say anything particularly specific, but Zi Zi was very interested: "How many days are you going?"

"It's expected to be at least a week and at most half a month."

Zi Zi said with some regret: "I wanted to visit Jeju Island before. I heard it is a very beautiful place. But now I have to go to school and learn to drive, so I really don't have time."

"We are going to Hanjiang City this time. If you want to travel, you should wait until you are on vacation."

Because we still had to board the plane, today's party ended early.

Wang Zheng sent the three of them back to school and went straight to the airport. The other staff were also on their way to the airport.

There were not many people in the business class tickets, so Xie Shengchuan led his team to check the documents and information without affecting other people.

It was 11 o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Hanjiang City. Neople sent a vice president with three cars to pick him up.

Because it was night, Wang Zheng was a little sleepy, so he didn't take a car with him and let Xie Shengchuan deal with it. The other party helped to book a hotel. The hotel environment was very good, and it was already early morning when the group settled in.

Had a wonderful night's sleep.

Although the next day was Saturday, Neople Company arranged for all employees to work overtime. Today’s itinerary is for Huoyun Company to visit Neople Company and conduct trial play and evaluation of the game.

Xie Shengchuan arranged for a young employee sent by the administrative department to bring a translator to various Internet cafes to observe the player groups and numbers of "DNF" and conduct simple interviews.

He himself took others to visit Neople Company.

Things are done in a very orderly manner. Wang Zheng nodded secretly. He had no interest in visiting Neople, and his presence would also affect Xie Shengchuan's decision-making authority.

So he went shopping with his secretary.

Hanjiang City is still developing very well. As the capital of a country, the overall environment is relatively better than the current Magic City. However, this is only temporary. In a few years, the total economic value of Magic City will exceed

Hanjiang City.

There is a popular saying in Bang Country that there are three things that people in Bang Country cannot live without in life, namely tax, death and seven stars.

Qixing Electronics is just a subsidiary of the Qixing Chaebol. It also has dozens of group subsidiaries, covering everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation, life, old age, illness and death. About 50 million people in the entire Bangguo directly or indirectly serve the Qixing Zaibatsu. People in the Bangguo sometimes

They would all laugh and call themselves from the "Seven Star Republic".

The influence of the Seven Star Chaebol in Bang Country is evident.

At the same time, due to social problems, several major chaebols such as Seven Star, Hyundai, LG, and SK control about 40% of the country's wealth. This is just a figure on the surface.

Wang Zheng's main business is in Daxia, but this does not mean that the future fire clouds will be able to circumvent the Seven Stars Zaibatsu.

In the chip business, flash memory business, and display panel business, Seven Star is one of the top suppliers in the world. These things are still weak domestically, and it is basically unrealistic not to rely on foreign suppliers such as Seven Star.

After wandering around for a while, Wang Zheng lost interest. It was incomparable to the second-tier cities in Daxia twenty years later, and it was really not interesting.

Moreover, the team came with a total of two translators, each with their own tasks. Wang Zheng and Zhou Ruoyun only knew English, so communication was not smooth.

It's better to go back to the hotel and stay there.

In the evening, Xie Shengchuan and his party returned to the hotel. After eating some Bangguo specialties together, they went to Wang Zheng's suite with Zhou Ruoyun to report on today's work.

"Mr. Wang, after today's contact, the other party is indeed interested in looking for agents in other regions. I have asked several other domestic manufacturers, and they are generally not very optimistic about this game, so their quotations are relatively low."

"Xiao Fang also visited a dozen Internet cafes today and asked about a hundred players. After the official operation of "DNF", the results were indeed not very good. About 30% of the players felt that it was not interesting and just passed the time. 50% of the players felt that

The operation is too complicated and only 20% of players find it fun."

"Mr. Wang, I personally think that although the graphics of this game are a bit crude, the gameplay is very strong and it has a nostalgic feel to the arcade."

Wang Zheng is still satisfied with Xie Shengchuan's analysis. Indeed, the picture quality of "DNF" is flawed, but it is a fun game.

In the face of fun, picture quality is useless - many domestic computers still have onboard graphics cards.

"Then get it as soon as possible, don't give them a chance to delay." Wang Zheng instructed: "In addition, let Mr. Gong say hello to the companies in the country, we want this game."

"Understood." Xie Shengchuan agreed, but hesitated to speak.

Wang Zheng asked strangely: "Manager Xie, is there anything else?"

Xie Shengchuan no longer hesitated and said: "Mr. Wang, I think there is a game that is worth agenting. It is translated into Chinese called "Special Forces"."
