The Era of Hard Work

Lu Dong is no stranger to imitation, and he has no psychological barriers. The Burger King that Lu's Catering does best is the imitated KFC.

It's normal for Wang Dong to want to develop a game that imitates "Legend".

After all, as far as domestic online games are concerned, "Legend" is still the most popular at present.

Lu Dong would not draw conclusions lightly, and the most important reason was that his understanding of this industry was indeed inferior to that of Wang Dong.

Over the years, Wang Dong first engaged in Internet cafe chains, and then acted as an agent for point cards and game servers. At the beginning of this year, he acted as an agent for the first game "Bubble Hall" and accumulated a lot of experience.

Even 8 o'clock online has certain technical strength.

Lu Dong generally has an idea. After the success of "Legend" in China, role-playing online games have also become the object of love of game operators. Whether it is self-developed or agency operation, various role-playing online games have sprung up like mushrooms. in front of the player.

This market is expanding rapidly.

Wang Dong's words continued: "The agency dispute between Shanda and South Korea has been showing clues since last year, and it has become more and more serious since the beginning of this year. In order to leave a way for himself, Mr. Chen asked Shanda to develop a new game. It’s officially open for testing this month!”

He seems to admire Shanda's Mr. Chen: "I went this time because I saw this new game in Shanda and learned about the development of this new game, so I made the decision to develop a game at 8 o'clock online. !"

Combining Wang Dong's words before and after, as well as his vague impression, Lu Dong asked, "This new game developed by Shanda is not an imitation of "Legend", right?"

"It's an imitation of "Legend". Even the three professions in it are called Warrior, Taoist and Mage, and their skills are similar." Wang Dong was obviously affected by this game: "Even the name of the game is called "Legend". world"!"

Lu Dong nodded, based on the impression of mobile games and web games, especially brothers come to kill me, even in the past ten or twenty years, there are still countless games in China that imitate "Legend", and even the game "Legend" is derived from it. There are countless krypton gold games.

From these aspects, the success rate of imitating "Legend" is definitely higher than developing out of thin air.

Wang Dong thought of something at this moment, looked at Shihui, and added, "I forgot to mention just now, Shihui has just resigned from Shanda. He is one of the technical directors responsible for the development of "Legendary World."

Lu Dong looked at Shihui. Shihui was not good at words, so he could only talk about game development: "The structure and core gameplay of "Legend World" are actually exactly the same as "Legend".

Wang Dong laughed suddenly: "Actually, I have contacted several key figures in the development team. As long as we can offer a suitable price, we can recruit them!"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to Shihui, and Shihui said, "Yes."

There is no way, Wang Dong has given too much.

In contrast, Mr. Chen is a bit petty.

Lu Dong understands where Wang Dong's confidence comes from. He can recruit a mature development team, has a suitable imitation target, the online game market is expanding rapidly, and his company has accumulated considerable experience...

Wang Dong added: "We are not simply imitating, I have discussed with Xiao many times, on the basis of imitating "Legend", the core gameplay will add a lot of new content, such as the free mode you mentioned last time, and item fees. "

When it comes to games, I talked a lot when I was young: "Shanda is also planning a similar project internally. The game is developed for free and charges are made through props, which coincides with Mr. Wang's idea."

Wang Dong smiled: "President Lu reminded me, and I thought about it myself. Eight o'clock Online has many chain Internet cafes, and I understand the mentality of players. Lifetime free is definitely a very, very attractive selling point!"

As soon as Lu Dong heard it, he knew that after listening to what he said last time, the game Wang Dong was going to play must be a free game.

It seems that the online game industry will enter a new era?

Wang Dong's words continued: "I have been discussing with Xiao Xiao these days, "Legend" can have today, thanks to the cheats, so this new game should properly add some excellent functions of cheats, such as automatic running. Automatically fight monsters, doesn't "Legend" have the selling point of Sabac siege battle? Let's make a bigger one, for example, players belong to several countries, and then directly engage in national wars!"

Lu Dong smiled: "Brother Wang, since the plan is made, let's do it."

Wang Dong also laughed: "Lv Dong, without your support, I can't do this." He said in detail: "First of all, we need to recruit people, a professional team, and Shanda people. Once we move, It is estimated that Shanda will turn against each other, and it will be difficult to renew the contract of point card business and Shanda's proxy server business when it expires this year."

He said seriously: "With the development of Shanda, Mr. Chen has become more and more powerful in the past two years. With my small arms and thin legs, it is difficult for me to stop Shanda and Mr. Chen. I need the support of Lu's Catering."

Lu Dong didn't speak for the time being, but just looked at Wang Dong silently.

Wang Dong also said: "Once the contract with Shanda cannot be renewed, 8 o'clock Online's income next year will be greatly affected. The development and testing of the game will cost a lot and require a considerable investment. I want to raise funds to expand the stock!"

Lu Dong nodded: "My Lu's holdings can be invested."

Wang Dong heaved a sigh of relief. The past two years of business made him very wealthy, but what he wanted to do was a huge game plan, which involved a very wide range, and the next step was to poach Shanda's corner.

This requires human support, and his brother-in-law, who is the executive deputy head of the district, is powerless.

After several years of cooperation, it is not difficult for Wang Dong to confirm that Lu Dong's side is trustworthy and the most suitable choice.

Lu Dong felt that this investment was worth a try: "Brother Wang, you draw up a plan, and I'll send someone over to discuss specific matters with Brother Wang later."

Wang Dong was in a great mood, and said with a smile, "Well done! With your support, this project will be 60% successful!"

The two talked for a while, and Lu Dong remembered another matter.

"How is the cooperation with Jiucun?" Lu Dong asked, "The operation of "Miracle" is going well?"

Wang Dong told the truth: "The overall situation is not bad, but since the beginning of this year, "Miracle" has shown a slight downward trend as a whole, and the gap with the grand "Legend" has widened."

Lu Dong thought about it carefully, and said, "Pay more attention to the news from Nine Villages. I heard that Zhu Jun has close contacts with the United States. Maybe he will come from the United States to develop a game at some point."

Wang Dong was surprised: "Online games in the United States? It seems that we are not acclimatized here."

Lu Dong said with a reminder: ""Diablo" is doing well. Aren't the cores of these kimchi games in Korea borrowed from Diablo?"

"That's right." Wang Dong nodded and mentioned another matter: "I heard that Zhu Jun intends to let Jiucun go public."

Lu Dong invested in Nine Villages and is also a shareholder of Nine Villages, so he knows more: "Zhu Jun's first choice is to go public in the United States, NASDAQ."

Wang Dong entered the online game industry and broadened his horizons: "This old boy has a lot of ideas!"

However, Lu Dong was thinking, Jiucun is listed on Nasdaq, and Lu's holdings' investment in Jiucun is basically at the time of harvest. Should we sell the stock at that time?

Listing will definitely impose restrictions on shareholders' shareholding and sale of shares, and we will talk about it at that time.

"Let's stop here today." Lu Dong looked at the time, and it was almost time to get off work: "Contact me in time if you have anything to do."

Wang Dong replied, "No problem."

After seeing off Lu Dong, Wang Dong walked back, feeling very good.

Shihui also breathed a sigh of relief, the pressure from Shanda to come here is not small, and many people are even puzzled.

But there is nothing wrong with being able to get two or three times the previous salary here, and to be able to show off your strengths.

Earn money, and then kill back to the magic capital in the future.

If the company develops well, it might be more promising to stay here.

When Wang Dong yelled, he entered the office and said, "There will be no problem with the funds. Please contact your friends."

would say, "Okay!"

Wang Dong thought for a while and asked, "How sure are you?"

Sometimes I will do this kind of technology, what can I say: "I'm not sure about pulling everyone over, but it shouldn't be difficult to pull everyone to sixty or seventy adults. The main reason is that the salary paid by Mr. Chen is a bit low..."

He didn't have the nerve to go on.

Ideals are very important, but most people can see clearly that ideals can only be carried by a good life.

How did you get a good life?

Just like him changing jobs, there is no way, 8 o'clock online has given too much.

Wang Dong glanced at his watch. He was about to get off work, but he called his secretary in: "Continue to inform, the heads and deputy heads of all departments stay for a meeting!"

Working overtime online at 8 o'clock is the norm. Take Lu's Catering Building as an example. The company Wang Dong is in charge of is definitely one of the last to turn off the lights.

Wang Dong has already figured out how to find more time to work during the six-day workweek that is online at eight o'clock.

The total working hours are six days a week, and I officially go to work at nine o'clock. Isn't it a bit early to get off work at six o'clock? It is more appropriate to work overtime until nine o'clock.

Wang Dong thought about it, he couldn't just do it all at once, and implemented it step by step, until the whole company got used to it, and it became a routine.

Recently, I have been traveling frequently in the Metropolis, and I have come into contact with a lot of people in related industries such as computers, online games, and programming. It seems that many companies in this industry are like this?

Even though he often works overtime online at 8 o'clock, he is still a popular company in the recruitment of university towns.

Nothing else, because the salary is relatively high.

Of course, Lu's Catering is among the most popular private enterprises.

The company has a sound system, regular attendance, generous benefits, smooth promotion channels, and high salaries. College graduates may have concerns about the front-line positions in the store, but some management positions in the headquarters are hot spots for many job seekers.

The latest recruitment of Lu's Catering is not only for fresh graduates, but also for many help-seekers with work experience.
