Super Game Empire

"World of Warcraft players who have not experienced the Ahn'Qiraj opening incident may never understand what an epic mission is, and they will never understand this innocent and beautiful age of level 60. ````This is my message to Dragon Soaring players.

It’s a precious memory treasure. Future versions of World of Warcraft will not have such strenuous server tasks.”

"Even if I know the shortcomings and shortcomings of the real World of Warcraft, I can't change its general trend. After the launch of TBC and WLK versions in the future, can I continue to retain these players? Can I continue to continue the glory of World of Warcraft? In fact,

I have no idea whether my suggestions can really plug the loopholes in the old version without creating new loopholes."

Yang Yun was also a participant in the Ahn'Qiraj opening incident on the Valley of the Kings server. Seeing the Ahn'Qiraj bugs rushing over the mountains and plains, he mechanizedly controlled the top-notch equipment MT to greet them, and led his team below the Zerg invasion.

Unlike his teammates who were excited and nervous, there was only numbness in his heart, definitely not joy.

He felt in a daze, especially in the past few years, the bigger the game, the more deeply remembered the game, the more entangled and painful his feelings became.

For example, take World of Warcraft as an example. In fact, game fairness cannot be guaranteed in every version. In the current level 60 era, the status of the Paladin is to throw blessings and invincible humanoid machines. They can't afford to add, and it doesn't hurt to fight, but every time the alliance

When playing large-scale dungeons, Paladins cannot be omitted, and the sweeping task must be left to them. However, in the 1970s, the Punishment Cavalry has become a bug profession that kills people by rolling the keyboard 1234 times.

Not to mention the mage profession, which is called the biological son. In order to cater to the majority of game players, mage, thief, and hunter professions have almost never been weakened in a real sense. These are all unfair.

"If I change it to what I think is absolutely fair, can I really win the support of players? Will there be no new problems? Will my idea be recognized by the market? Rebirth can indeed attack in advance.

Plug-ins. Resist piracy and forcefully change the fate of rubbish domestic games like "Blood Lion". However, in the face of interactive large-scale online games, World of Warcraft, Dota, and League of Legends, I feel that I cannot control their progress at all...

"

This is what Yang Yun is most confused about, whether the game is valuable and popular. Whether the game balance is good or not is always the market that has the final say. In real history, Blizzard is so strong that it has still been criticized a lot.

version, and now even if Yang Yun joins, he can only exert a meager strength and cannot change the outcome too much. If he does it by himself, it is impossible to do better.

The time is about to enter 2007. Most of his dream of a super gaming empire has been completed, but the fear in his heart has become more and more obvious. The big ship of Longteng Entertainment Game Company seems to be gradually beyond his control. As the captain, he gradually feels that in his hands

The steering wheel is so heavy and doesn't work.

Apple's closed OS-X operating system and Android system, these two sharp knives in his hand stabbed Microsoft hard. 90% of the operating systems of today's portable mobile devices are related to Longteng, and if the PC is added with a TV game console.

Long Teng may account for about 25%, which has never happened in real history. Faced with this situation, Yang Yun felt that he was powerless and unable to control everything.

In the game market, Longteng has the upper hand in all aspects. The TV game console market is an absolute monopoly. The game access standards formulated by Yang Yun have been promoted all over the world. No game production company dares to violate it. Longteng and Newsonic share an 82% share.

In this market, they determine the life and death of all game industry companies.

In PC games, Japan's old rival Koei Co., Ltd. is the last one left. EA in the United States has long gone bankrupt. Microsoft Games is still sleeping. Ubisoft, the former European game giant, has gone bankrupt. Several new companies have emerged, but they cannot have much impact on Longteng.

big threat.

Only 50% of the total number of PC games in the world are produced by Longteng and related camps, but among the 100 best PC games in the game industry in the past 20 years, 85 are produced by Longteng Entertainment Game Company. This number says it all. Although they do not

Unify PC game standards, but achieve the promise of "Longtang products must be high-quality".

Yang Yun is very clear about the future development trend of games. Single-player games will continue to be made, but multi-form, multi-channel, multi-media, and multi-mode are the development trends of games. Online social games, TV Internet games, somatosensory games

Games, virtual reality games, smartphone games, this is a huge challenge to the traditional games of the past two decades.

Yang Yun found it difficult to control all of this. Longteng, a super ship, gradually had a tendency to drive autonomously.

It turns out that career is not so easy to build. As the old saying goes, it is easier to conquer a country than to maintain it. When he was about to realize his grand dream of this super gaming empire, he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Husband, you have grown a few more white hairs..." After putting the child to sleep, Lin Zhiling came to Yang Yun's study and massaged his shoulders. She watched him control a figure with top-notch equipment, pressing the buttons numbly and mechanically.

The keyboard, the tired expression on her face, and her heart began to hurt again.

Yang Yun finally fought off a wave of Ahn'Qiraj bugs, took the opportunity to relax his hands, and said helplessly: "There is no way, it's a lot of pressure..."

Lin Zhiling did not complain. As a man with a successful career, Yang Yun rarely went out to make friends, receive guests, attend cocktail parties, or inspect branches this year. This seemed abnormal in the eyes of others, but she knew very well that Yang Yun

This is escaping, trying to divert attention through other things, and decompressing yourself.

"Of course I understand you. It's not easy to achieve this level of career. Longteng Entertainment and Game Company is already a giant. More and more eyes are looking at us from the outside. I just hope that you will never change your heart. In this life,

It's so short, why lose yourself for some false fame and fortune? Material life is not our burden, you must also be strong mentally and never be beaten down, promise me, okay?"

Yang Yun sighed, reached out and pinched the thin hand on his shoulder, and forced a smile: "I know. You go to bed first, I will come back later."

No one knows what he is thinking in his heart. He has always hidden himself. This is the case at all times.

In fact, after Microsoft withdrew from the game market, the mentality of the senior management of Longteng Company has almost changed. Many caring people have seen it. Yang Yun is not a fool, he also sees it very clearly.

In the past two years, Yang Yun has invited many experienced managers to share business operations tasks. The introduced professional manager system has completely sorted out the old Longteng Company, including many jobs, leaders, employees, work models, and salary reward systems.

, personnel assessment, market operations and other aspects have undergone major adjustments, and now the company is still in a period of pain.

Perhaps this is an opportunity. Yang Yun has an idea that he has been brewing for more than ten years.

Now it's time to throw it out!

…

The next day, Yang Yun came to the company and called Zhao Yongping to drink tea in the rooftop garden on the top floor of Longteng Computer World.

Standing on the 100-meter-high rooftop, looking at the demolition site at No. 1 Zhongguancun Street not far away, Yang Yun sighed: "More than ten years ago, I spent 1 million US dollars to buy this building, which is 90% of my

I have a total property of 100,000 yuan, and others think I am crazy. Now I have finally received approval from the Land and Resources Bureau to demolish/rebuild. A 110-meter high-rise building will be built here next year. Others think I am a lucky person."

Zhao Yongping laughed: "At that time, I was still working as a factory director for Xiaobawang in Chongshan City, Guangdong Province. Information was not circulated at that time. If I had known that you had a start-up capital of 1 million US dollars and bought a piece of land in Zhongguancun, I would have

I’ll go back to the capital and work with you, why should I suffer in that small factory?”

This compliment was quite interesting. Yang Yun laughed loudly and accepted it calmly. He thought of the methods he used to pull and beat Zhao Yongping again. Some things were better left undisclosed and let the past unfold.

"The Longteng headquarters building was demolished and rebuilt. Some people praised me for my good vision, but I know that it is not difficult to make this judgment as long as I master the general market rules. My vision is very average, but I can look at the situation, so every time

My decisions are always one step ahead of others, my decisions are earth-shattering, and my approach is incomprehensible to everyone, but the future will prove that I am right."

Yang Yun thought for a long time and finally brought the topic to what he wanted to say. These were the words he deliberately said to Zhao Yongping.

Zhao Yongping was very sensitive and asked doubtfully: "Why do you have so many emotions today?"

Yang Yun smiled, walked back from the rooftop to the corridor of the pavilion, personally filled the teacups of the two of them, and asked Zhao Yongping who was following him: "Yongping, where is the company's ISO standardization process now?"

"It's coming to an end. The management team we recruited from Harvard Business School is really great. The business model they designed makes local managers like us feel like the owners of a canteen. The ideological gap between us and others is too big.

Already."

Zhao Yongping said with emotion, "It's just that because our company involves many national defense industries and major people's livelihood projects, top-down integration and sorting out are very difficult. It takes two years to integrate and adjust into such a standardized international large enterprise, allowing everyone to

Managers and ordinary employees are used to standardized and process-based work, and I think this speed is pretty good."

Yang Yun said with a smile: "I'm very satisfied. Now I don't need to worry about anything. Everything is done according to the rules and procedures, which makes me worry less. In fact, I have always found it funny. Longteng was one of the Fortune 500 many years ago.

It’s a miracle that we are an enterprise and still have the Tuba/Road management model. Yongping, I want to implement a plan, can you see if it’s feasible?” (To be continued...)
