Super Tycoon

After arriving at the hotel, Zhang Yang took a shower, lay down comfortably, and lost the jet lag.

The next morning, he appeared in the office of the North American company refreshed.

This time, in addition to checking Will's work, there is another point to check the jobs of other game companies, and also check the jobs of the two vice presidents by the way.

Listening to the reports of the two vice presidents, Zhang Yang remained expressionless, which made the two vice presidents a little uneasy. Did they dissatisfy the boss?

"Edson, the Counter-Strike game hasn't been developed yet? Didn't you say that the progress is fast? What's wrong?" Zhang Yang tapped his fingers on the table, dissatisfied with the progress.

The basic structure has already been completed, and the next step is the game map and other aspects. It is said that it is not too difficult.

"It's nothing, it's just that Valve Corporation intends to release a game called Half-Life first, to see if this game is popular in the market. This has already been completed and is going to be released this month."

"It can also be regarded as a public beta test, testing the game's BUG, ​​etc., so this game is sold very cheaply, and then based on the feedback, the game of Counter-Strike will be improved."

Only then did Zhang Yang nod his head. This plan cannot be said to be bad, but the Half-Life game will definitely not make money, and the company's reputation will hardly be established.

But it doesn't matter, when Counter-Strike is launched, it will definitely surprise many people. This is a series of games that have been popular for more than ten years in the previous life.

In the future, it can be changed to an online game, allowing more players to communicate and adding more ways to play.

"Boss, there is something I want to tell you. Blizzard has licensed one of their games to Sunny, and it will run on Suny's PS."

The boss is the controlling major shareholder of Zhi Duo Xing, and also the major shareholder of Blizzard. I don't know what Blizzard thinks. He actually let the game be released on the PS platform. Isn't this a slap in the face of the boss.

"I know about this, so don't worry about it. Allen will come over in the afternoon, and I will have a good chat with him. Remember, it is stipulated in the contract that they have the autonomy to operate, so follow the contract."

Even if Blizzard wants to run Warcraft and other games on Zhiduoxing G, Zhang Yang may not be happy. It is not convenient to operate at all, and it is not interesting to play. There is still a clear gap between the handle and the mouse.

"During this period of time, you have obtained a lot of game authorizations in North America. You have worked hard."

After Edson goes out,

Zhang Yangcai carefully looked at the report on the table. At least these companies have made money for the American Zhiduxing Company.

The sales of some games of Zhiduoxing Company in North America are also getting better and better. Sun Yansheng is no longer in charge, but after being replaced by DA Company, the gap in publishing capabilities between the companies is really seen.

After reading the report, Zhang Yang was on the computer in the office, playing Blizzard's new game, Diablo. In the previous life, this game was also one of Blizzard's masterpieces and was widely acclaimed.

Looking at the familiar scene now, Zhang Yang was quite happy when he played, unlike his previous life, when he played after the millennium, he was still in an Internet cafe.

At noon, he didn't go out to eat, but someone brought in a fast food, which felt like he was in an Internet cafe in his previous life. The seats are more comfortable, and there are no smokers around. The only thing missing is that there are no partners.

When I was having fun in the afternoon, I heard a knock on the door.

"Alan, you're here, sit down, I'm playing Diablo." Zhang Yang waved at Alan, "How should I go about this?"

He hasn't played for a long time, and he can't remember some customs clearance skills for a long time.

Seeing that Zhang Yang was very interested in the game they developed, Allen felt extra proud: "Let's see, if I remember correctly, it should be..."

Half an hour later, Zhang Yang sat on the sofa with Allen, drinking coffee.

"Mr. Zhang, do you have any comments or suggestions on our new game?"

"Hahaha, it's very fun, but the picture is a bit dark, but this is in line with the background setting of the game. This game sold 1.8 million sets in North America last year. For three weeks, the scenery is endless."

"The second part will be released this year, and DA's guaranteed sales are two million copies. Blizzard will become the world's top PC game developer, not just in North America."

"I'm here this time, and I have some good news to tell you. The market in Southeast Asia has indeed had some problems recently, but it doesn't affect your product sales."

"The Japanese and Korean versions of Warcraft 2 and Diablo 1 will be released soon, and I believe they will bring you some surprises."

Obviously Huaxia has more people, and it is also Zhang Yang's base camp, but he is not sure that Huaxia's sales will become better.

"Mr. Zhang, these games will also bring you satisfactory returns."

Blizzard became a subsidiary of American Smart Star, but it did not affect Blizzard's game development progress, and even the decisions made by Blizzard were not affected in any way.

This made Allen admire Zhang Yang very much. As the controlling party, and also very good at games, he really doesn't intervene in Blizzard's operational decisions.

Even when they ported the game to Souni's PS platform instead of Zhiduoxing G, the president Zhang didn't object.

"Mr. Zhang, you have nothing to say about our cooperation with Sunny Company this time?" Alan found that Zhang Yang hadn't mentioned this matter, but he couldn't help it.

"No, on Blizzard's side, it's up to you to make the decision, and I won't interfere. Zhiduoxing Company should also offer an offer. If you think Sunny's price is more suitable, then cooperate with that side. I don't care."

Of course, Zhiduoxing's offer is very low, because Zhang Yang knows that this game will not be fun after it is ported to a video game console.

It's a pity that this also has high requirements for the performance of the host, otherwise you can try to transplant it to a computer learning machine.

"What if our next game is to cooperate with Sunny?"

"Whatever. I invest in Blizzard just because I think Blizzard's games are fun and I agree with some development concepts. As for the business, I don't plan to intervene. Blizzard's profits are not low, but don't they put the big head in my pocket? ?”

Even if you Blizzard make more money, I am still the major shareholder with 60% of the shares.

Now it seems that Blizzard's revenue is good, and it can make a net profit of tens of millions of dollars every year, but it is nothing compared to Zhiduoxing as a whole. What's more, Zhang Yangguang invested in the financial market this year, and his profits were all in units of 100 million.

"Mr. Zhang, Blizzard's next plan is to develop Battle.net, which is an online game battle platform. We proposed this idea last year and started to implement it this year."

Zhang Yang was so generous that Alan felt embarrassed, so he revealed the company's development plan. He also wanted to hear Zhang Yang's opinion, after all, Zhang Yang was an amazing young man.
