The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

While Yang Dongxu and Chang Hao were discussing NetEase, Ding Sanshi, who was at the headquarters of NetEase in Guangzhou, was sitting in his office and flipping through the project proposal of "Fantasy Westward Journey".

Because it is of the same type as the game "Westward Journey", although the game "Fantasy Westward Journey" seems to be better than Westward Journey in the planning proposal, he has been holding back and not investing in research and development.

In other words, for the sake of his own stock price, he cannot enter two risky projects at once. After all, as a listed company, you must make the company look better, whether it is financial statements or R\u0026D projects.

And although Netease is now transforming to games, the main source of income is not games. One of the games he made before was "Tianxia", but after allocating resources to Westward Journey, Tianxia is ready to shut down the server. Anyway, it's a free game, so turning it off doesn't have much impact.

At present, NetEase's main profit point is still on the portal website, plus the e-mail, Chinese full-text search and so on that he focuses on. This is the main reason for NetEase's listing, and the game is actually just a driving force.

So he is optimistic about the game market. There are constant problems in Westward Journey, and the listing has to be postponed, and he has no intention of giving up. But considering the stock price, he couldn't launch two similar games at once. After all, if it’s okay to do it, it’s fun if it can’t be done.

Therefore, after repeated consideration, he couldn't help but think a little bit after tasting that Rising Sun Technology's main purpose of buying Fantasy Westward Journey seemed to be to poach people.

As the developer of the current turn-based game, he even entered the inside of the game. Although BUG continues. But for Ding Sanshi who knows this type of game best, no one dares to quarrel with him.

Therefore, no matter how powerful the game research and development department of Rising Sun Technology is, I will not let everyone go. If only some technicians are placed, it will take a while for the other team to get in touch, for research and development, and for internal listing.

In this way, even if Rising Sun Technology is very powerful in developing games, it will definitely not be able to produce this game in less than two years.

Although the research and development of Westward Journey has continued to have problems, it has actually gradually improved. As long as the most basic configuration of the server is done, and bugs are fixed, it will take a few months at most, and there will be no problem in the second half of the year.

In other words, even if Rising Sun Technology develops Fantasy Westward Journey and a game of the same type as Westward Journey, it will be two years before the two compete in the ring.

In the field of the Internet, too many things can be done in two years. Not to mention two years, many major events can happen even in one year. For example, the rise of the humble Microsoft and surpass IBM is a very rapid event.

What's more, he still has two years to cultivate this type of game market, and how long is the game life in half a year?

Five years is actually a threshold. Even if five years can basically reach the peak of the game, the next step is downhill. Want to scale new heights. It is even more difficult than developing a new hit game.

After all, the Internet is developing too fast, and games are being updated very quickly. No matter how you update a game, how to add expansion packs, where is the foundation, players will have aesthetic fatigue sooner or later.

In this way, he earns money for two years first, and after the other party makes Fantasy Westward Journey and joins the market, in the first year, no matter how powerful the other party is, he will still have the upper hand. Ding Sanshi is still confident in this point.

Then in the second year, the two will be considered a tie, and in the third year when the five-year threshold of the game is reached, everyone will make money together. After five years, it depends on who can persist in the peak period for a long time.

Based on such an overall calculation, even if the game plan, the person who proposed the plan, and several programmers were sold to each other, it seemed that the impact on him was not as great as imagined.

But what he got in exchange was a better server, and very good-looking financial statements in the next two or three years. The company's market value continued to soar, which undoubtedly made a lot of money.

So after being unable to solve the server problem of Journey to the West, Ding Sanshi hesitated for a while and finally let go. The condition is to get the game server.

As for whether Rising Sun Technology can meet this condition is their problem, even if they can't meet it, it doesn't matter. This condition is not to be bitten to death, but you have not fulfilled the condition I mentioned. In the next negotiation process, the other party must make concessions on other terms, otherwise it will appear insincere.

Regarding Ding Sanshi's careful thinking, Yang Dongxu obviously hasn't figured it out yet. But no matter whether you have figured it out or not, the development team of Fantasy Westward Journey is definitely going to win. This is an evergreen tree of domestic games in the future, a huge IP. At least two-thirds of NetEase's annual revenue of tens of billions is contributed by this game.

But after thinking about it, the sale of the game server is definitely not a precedent, but the lease terms and the price discounts and freedom of choice for subsequent updates and upgrades can loosen the shackles.

"Let you keep in touch with that side. To put it bluntly, it is a game project and a deal between a few programmers. If they ask for too much, don't worry.

Anyway, they are now worrying about Journey to the West. Even if we don't sell this game, they won't be able to develop it themselves in a short time. It's really urgent. It's not too difficult for us to pull out the game development department again. "Yang Dongxu gave Changhao a general framework.

Because he knew the prospect of Westward Journey in Sleep Talk, he really didn't care about the delay of half a year or a year. The big deal is that it can be made up for in a hurry when the expansion pack is updated later.

But the reason why he insisted on buying this game was actually the same as what Ding Sanshi Changhao had guessed. Yang Dongxu mainly fell in love with Xu Youzhen, the planner of this game.

Rising Sun Technology is a game company, so it must focus on the game department. After the legendary incident, Chang Hao was the only general left who could stand on his own. It was very pitiful that he, the commander, had no soldiers under his command.

Not to mention that Chang Hao is tired of controlling the game R\u0026D department by himself, and it is easy to breed corruption and conflicts. For example, even though Legendary helped Swordsman in research and development before, the two game departments had a good relationship, and Swordsman's success at Legendary wasn't too jealous.

But the main personnel in the Legendary R\u0026D department are mainly Koreans, and Yang Dongxu hired them in a package back then. Sword Immortal's side is naturally the Jinshan system, and it was also packed and dug. These are two naturally formed mountains, and now the head of Legend has been dismissed, and the entire department is currently taken over by Changhao, which means that the Jinshan family is the only one.

This is very detrimental to the company's development. Let's speculate maliciously, if one day someone wants to poach Sunrise Technology's corner and targets Changhao, and Changhao raises his arms, Sunrise Technology may be directly paralyzed by half.

And it's not easy to lead a dominant team, although Changhao and the others have high salaries. But because of the exclusive dominance, maybe they will feel that this high salary is still a little low, and he will want more.

But it will be different if Xu Youzhen joins in. The popularity of Fantasy Westward Journey can be expected. When the time comes, the two departments plus the legend of playing their residual heat will mean that the troika has its own merits.

Healthy competition can be formed. As long as the salary is kept higher than that of peers, everyone can accept it and will not have any small thoughts.

After all, Xu Youzhen, who made such a good game as Fantasy Westward Journey, also earns such a salary. Why do you, Changhao, get more? With the horizontal comparison of teams, it will be much easier to lead.

After Changhao left, Yang Dongxu sat in the boss chair and meditated for a while, not thinking about NetEase. It's like if Xu Youzhen is recruited and then a game department is established, the current office area of ​​Rising Sun Technology seems to be a bit small.

Therefore, whether to continue renting office buildings or to buy a building by yourself is on the agenda. In addition to this, there is also the question of whether Sunrise Technology will relocate.

Compared with Shanghai, Yanjing, and Shenzhen or Guangzhou over there, Hangzhou is indeed not a very good incubation base for the game industry. First of all, various supporting facilities and policies are not as convenient and favorable as other cities.

Therefore, Rising Sun Technology's current scale in Hangzhou actually feels constrained. If it expands its operations, it will easily touch the ceiling.

What's more, it is impossible for Rising Sun Technology to have only three game departments in the future, and there will be more game departments and other departments. After all, Yang Dongxu has never given up on chatting software.

Go to Shenzhen?

Brother Xiao Ma doesn't know why this life didn't appear, this is a change of great uncertain factors. But Feixun Technology CC stepped up, and their headquarters is in Shenzhen.

MM's headquarters is in Shanghai, and the game company Ninetowns is located in Yanjing, and he is in several cities, so going to Yanjing is actually not that high a priority, even if there is Zhongguancun, which is not called China's Silicon Valley.

"Head hurts!" Yang Dongxu knocked on his head after thinking for a long time before making a final decision.

If it really doesn't work, we can only release the news first, and see what preferential settlement conditions are offered by several cities before making a choice.

He continued to process the documents until noon, when the assistant delivered the food to the office, and Yang Dongxu browsed the news at night while eating.

As soon as I turned on the computer, I could easily see the news about Hanxin-1, and several major portal websites reprinted today's news release. After all, if chip research and development is a matter of brute force, there is nothing wrong with summarizing it into the Internet industry. Even if the Internet industry is mentioned now, everyone is confused, thinking that it is a virtual market dominated by software.

"Is there a hole in your brain?" Yang Dongxu, who was eating lunch and watching the news, couldn't help but frowned, and subconsciously cursed.

This is a reprinted report of a certain wave of news, many of which were interviewed and asked questions by reporters at the time, and were highlighted in the report, and the content in blackened font is.

Reporter: As the first person in chip research and development in China, what do you think about the future and your competitors?

Chen Chu: Hanxin-1 will become an epoch-making product, and I will continue to lead the national chip industry to move forward. As for competitors.

Chen Chu turned around and took a look, then smiled slightly: I didn't see the shadow of my opponent, maybe seeing my taillights is also a luxury for them.
