Chapter 059 The Battle Between Nanmeng Palace and Glory

The second all-employee meeting of Longteng Entertainment and Game Company was held.

Yang Yun announced four resolutions to deepen reforms of the company.

The first resolution is to add a new product department, with Zhao Yongping as the department manager, responsible for the production of all Longteng company-related products, and to find an independent factory in Zhongguancun. The products include but are not limited to learning machines and game cards, as well as large-scale products.

Industrial grade integrated circuit boards, micro semiconductor circuit boards, etc.

These are the main products of Chiyang Electronics Factory and Dabawang Electronics Company. Zhao Yongping is familiar with them and can get started quickly and take on important tasks.

Yang Yun has not given up on the research and development of large-scale industrial-grade and micro-semiconductor circuit boards. It is mainly to prepare for the production of large-scale arcade machines and handheld consoles in the future. Now it is mainly about technical reserves.

After he unifies the domestic FC market and occupies a place internationally, he will expand his business scope and produce his own large arcade boards and portable handheld consoles. He can also develop related game peripherals, all of which will be products led by Zhao Yongping.

Department is responsible.

The second item is to add a new procurement department, which is headed by Fang Jindong. The most important thing at present is the import of foreign computer chips, and by the way, it is responsible for purchasing game copyrights and establishing a legal affairs department. Fang Jindong, a Northeastern man, pats his chest.

Make a firm commitment.

The procurement department involves many resources and covers a complex range. Now Longteng Company is small and has few personnel. People like Zhao Yongping, Jiang Shaoyun and Jiang Yang need to contribute their own efforts to provide convenience for Fang Jindong. Only when everyone contributes can the flames grow.

The third thing is to expand the R&D department. Through Zhao Yongping's matchmaking and Yang Yun's efforts, respecting the choices of the parties concerned, as long as the R&D personnel of Dabawang Company are willing to go north, Yang Yun will fully accept them and integrate them into Longteng's R&D department.

.

Some of these people were Yang Yun's former colleagues at Huamao Electronics Factory, and some were new recruits recruited by Big Overlord. Of course, they also included the three "traitors" who switched jobs from Longteng Company.

Yang Yun did not make any special remarks, and treated everyone equally, without even a word of blame. However, after the meeting, Jiang Shaoyun rushed to the homes of the three "traitors" overnight, sent praise and condolence money on behalf of Yang Yun, and promised to work in the R&D department within one year.

Promoted and reused, this infernal drama finally came to a perfect end!

And the last and fourth thing is the reorganization of the R&D department. Yang Yun served as the chief designer to personally guide the design ideas and flattened the management of the R&D department. For the time being, the positions of managers and deputy managers will not be set up. Instead, manpower will be allocated in the form of project teams.

A certain theme type and a certain important game will have a dedicated team responsible for it.

For example, among the existing groups, the learning card project team is headed by Zhang Guotai and Zhu Shiqiang of the former Dabawang Company. One of them is a senior engineer of Kote Learning Card and the other is the technical section chief of Pyramid Learning Card.

A senior expert in learning cards is now back to his old profession and is absolutely comfortable with it.

The FC scroll game project team is headed by Zhang Guoqiang from Tsinghua University. This senior student who has not yet graduated has finally identified this stage. He is full of confidence and ambition. He brought Ma Liang, a young man who came from Zhongshan, and four or five others of similar age.

The young team members are ready for a big fight.

The historical simulation game SLG project team is headed by Inoue Yanxiong. Yang Yun started the localization of the Three Kingdoms game, which is equivalent to designing it from scratch. Now this is the top priority. Rushing for the task in a hurry puts the greatest pressure on this project team.

In addition, the planning team includes copywriting support from Liu Cixing, art support from Matsumoto Yoshino and Xiang Tian, ​​and is supplemented by Su Xiuyun and other computer professional art designers. Although the work is complicated, the importance is self-evident.

In the future, there will be large-scale arcade game production groups, PC RPG games, shooting games, casual games and other categories. Yang Yun will provide the overall design ideas and then leave it to his subordinates to handle the specific matters.

After the meeting, Yang Yun left several senior executives behind and said: "Time is urgent, so I won't say much else. Our company is goal-oriented. After I set the goal, I don't care about the process. No matter what you do, I only want the results."

Zhao, I leave the construction of the new factory to you. Whether you acquire other factories or build new ones from scratch, I hope to start production before December. Can you do it?"

There is still more than a month, which is a bit tight, but Zhao Yongping nodded and solemnly said: "No problem, Mr. Yang!"

"Okay, Longteng now has more than 1.8 million yuan in its account. The orders from the Canton Fair will be settled soon. Another batch of funds will be injected after a while. Money is not an issue. We will communicate in a timely manner during the acquisition process."

Yang Yun looked at Zhang Guoqiang again: "Guoqiang, don't count on the 11 R&D personnel recruited by Big Overlord Company this time. I will recruit them all and hand them over to Inoue's team. For your team, I will provide two game plans.

, in addition to side-scrolling games, I hope you can expand your thinking and make full-frame pattern games. You implement the technology first, and I will fill in the content."

Zhang Guoqiang tilted his face and said with an aggrieved look: "Mr. Yang, you must not favor one over another. My grandfather, my father, and I, our whole family are fans of the Three Kingdoms. You might as well let Ma Liang be in charge of the full-frame scroll game.

Now, I can go to the Three Kingdoms Group to fight..."

Yang Yun deliberately kept a straight face and scolded: "Nonsense! Where is the revolution? Xiaoma is younger than you, and he is new here. He doesn't even know the door. If you don't shoulder the heavy responsibility, who will?"

After hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and laughed secretly, understanding Zhang Guoqiang's mentality very well.

Making the Chinese version of the Three Kingdoms game, especially under the command of Yang Yun, will definitely become a classic in the future. It would be a supreme honor to have one's name appear in the production team, if not for professional restrictions.

, even Zhao Yongping wanted to participate.

Yang Yun continued to arrange: "Inoue, let's stick to the old method. First crack the Three Kingdoms game of Guangrong Company. If the source code is not available, find a way to simulate it and use other methods instead. You first lead everyone to set up the game framework. I will do it.

I am responsible for filling in the content and then leaving it to you to integrate.”

Inoue Yanxiong solemnly accepted this important task with a very sincere attitude, saying: "There are many game manufacturers in Japan that make Three Kingdoms games, and Namco's Three Kingdoms series is also quite famous. I have dealt with their planners before. If we just

If we want to refer to KOEI's game system, we can try to cooperate with Namco."

Did Inoue Yanxiong have any dealings with Namco's planners? Yang Yun's eyes lit up and he nodded: "We will discuss this matter later. Is there anything unclear to you? If not, let's break up the meeting."

Zhao Yongping spoke, and he asked the question of greatest concern on behalf of everyone: "Mr. Yang, Chiyang's restructuring failed, what to do with the 55 million order? What kind of relationship will we maintain with Chiyang Electronics Factory in the future?"

After thinking about it, Yang Yun decided not to hide anything and solemnly said: "After completing this order, you will be a passerby."

In the negotiation the day before, Huang Beiyang finally compromised. The Chiyang Electronics Factory would not be restructured and the $55 million order could be fulfilled next year. Yang Yun would not restrict the licensing contract provided to Chiyang, but only to the circus.

There are four games: Mission, Salamander, Rocket Car and MapleStory.

The cooperation between Yang Yun and Huang Beiyang is likely to only last for a short period of one year. Neither of them will undermine the other, and they are not allowed to use excuses to suppress or discredit the other. Huang Beiyang can be promoted within one year if he wants political achievements.

For the transfer, Yang Yun proposed a transfer fee of US$5 per share totaling US$6 million, which would be settled within one year.

Huang Beiyang was promoted and Yang Yun became rich. This was the final result of the negotiation between the two, and it was also the best result.

Yang Yun left behind Inoue Yanxiong and Matsumoto Yoshino. He really didn't expect that these two people would still have contacts with Namco. This was a big surprise.

"Inoue, what is the relationship between Koei and Namco in the Japanese gaming industry?"

Inoue Yanxiong said: "KOEI was established shorter than Namco. KOEI is more like a personal game studio. It was established less than ten years ago. It mainly focuses on professional historical simulation games. Its mature main products have Nobunaga's ambitions, and

The things Namco does are a bit more complicated, and it is a well-known game company with decades of production experience."

Yang Yun nodded. In 1983, the game "Nobunaga's Ambition" made Glory a success. He tasted the benefits and continued to be professional. Glory was very successful. However, because Namco was so complicated, it focused on game software.

It didn't make much achievements, so it focused on developing peripheral products for Gundam and Saint Seiya games. In the end, it had to merge with Bandai and reorganize into Bandai Namco.

Yang Yun asked: "Is it understandable that after Namco made the highly successful Three Kingdoms game, Glory followed suit?"

Inoue Yanxiong shook his head: "KOEI was the first to make the Three Kingdoms. After the success of Nobunaga's Ambition, they quickly launched the Three Kingdoms game, but the sales were not very good. Last year, Namco produced the third game on the Nintendo FC platform.

A Three Kingdoms SLG strategy game, Romance of the Three Kingdoms - Overlord of the Central Plains, was released in May last year. Although it was expensive, it was well received by players. KOEI woke up and launched the FC version in October last year. However, due to a delay of half a year, the sales volume was completely

Not as good as Namco.”

Yang Yun understood that these two families are mortal enemies. After you sing, I will come on stage. Either you follow suit, or the master and apprentice fight against each other, in a stalemate competition.

According to his experience in later generations, Namco seems to have the upper hand now with booming sales. In fact, only the follow-up: Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2: Overlord's Continent has been well received. Although it is a classic, it does not last long. It is unable to succeed on the PC side. Its Three Kingdoms series cannot last long.

spread down the earth.

But Glory is different. It is beautifully made and blooms a lot. New versions are released every now and then. There are also well-known classic games such as Nobunaga's Ambition, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Taikaku Retsuden, Age of Discovery, Dynasty Warriors, etc., which are now owned by Namco.

It doesn't matter if you suppress one end, wait until 1990, the glorious Three Kingdoms will break out, and the PC version of the Three Kingdoms will be a completely reborn work!

Yang Yun likes this situation the most. The situation where the two giants are fighting is so similar to the current competition between Nintendo and Sega. He feels alive in his heart. Fishing in troubled waters and profiting from chaos is what he likes to do the most.

Yang Yun asked: "Inoue, what is your personal relationship with the designers of Namco?"

Takeo Inoue was a little embarrassed: "At the Nintendo Carnival party in 1985, I was fortunate enough to meet Ms. Akiko Kudo. She was a game planner at Namco. She was very dedicated and very cute..."

"Haha..." Matsumoto Yoshino knew this story very well. He couldn't help laughing and gave Yang Yun a brief explanation, that is, Inoue Yanxiong's unrequited love. Four years later, he still has not been able to pursue it. This year, he came to

China, when he was about to stop thinking about it, he didn't expect that there might be another opportunity in another village.

The game planner is equivalent to the soul of a game and controls the core ideas of game development.

Yang Yun had a sudden idea that if he could poach this woman, the research and development cycle could be greatly shortened: "Inoue, if I give you a certain amount of funding authority, can you let her come to China and join us in starting a business?"

Yanxiong Inoue was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth, but he gradually started to giggle.
