The advantage of the handover of program versions is that many modules that have already been written do not need to be written, and only the person in charge needs to be able to read the code and be able to debug when the time comes. But there is no such situation in the planning case, if the planning is replaced by a group of new people, everyone's ideas are different, and the collision of blind Jaguar ideologies will definitely be chaotic.

So chatting with Yu Wenhui today is actually two things. First of all, would he rather be the CEO of a new game company or the project manager of Enemies of Rome? The second thing is whether to hand over the mobile game version, or will the mobile game simply be overturned and redone? The premise of this decision is that it is a two-end game, and the VR part is still building a framework.

Yu Wenhui had actually thought about it a long time ago, but he still had to ask Chu Yuanxi what he meant: "Old Chu, what are you going to let Zhao Jie do?"

"Ah, that's what I think about the new game company, structurally, two companies at the same time, one for each of you. The direction of these two companies is completely different, you are the full-link promotion of "Enemy of Rome", mobile games and VR, domestic and foreign, horizontal and vertical, you are all right, just do this MMO well. ”

"What about Zhao Jie?" Yu Wenhui was surprised, it was completely different from what he imagined.

"Zhao Jie, I asked him to devote himself to making a platform, first making a traditional RPG, and then platforming it, as the backbone, to expand the gameplay of various RPGs, and even large-scale interactive functions. ”

"Didn't that come to me in the end?" Yu Wenhui wants to do an MMORPG, that is, a large-scale interactive role-playing game.

"No, Zhao Jie's every step must be able to achieve UGC, so that players can make it, do you understand the difficulty? Let's not talk about the most complex MMO, to make an ARPG, you have to support the player to operate the battle, to make a roguelike RPG, you have to support random maps, to make a non-linear RPG, you have to support the interconnectedness of multiple game plots from the mechanism, to make an open-ended exploration RPG, I don't dare to think about the difficulty.

The task I gave Zhao Jie was to standardize all of them, and then make editors, open them to players, and let players produce UGC content. I don't know where I'll get to where I'm going to go. ”

Yu Wenhui is the third person in the entire company to know about this situation. He had to be shocked, mainly shocked by Chu Yuanxi's unreliability, this way at first glance, it is not a money-making model at all, it is very likely that it will end up making a good and bad call, isn't this miserable?

If nothing else, let's just say that the difficulty is in the middle of the non-line*** Okay, the orange light game is non-linear, including the "Invisible Guardian" that was the first in the world of bad women.

Although these are also RPGs, the content of the game is only the story. And the plot is all film-like, so it only needs to build a multi-line engine to show the plot. If it expands into the mode of fighting monsters and upgrading, adding various systems, upgrades, equipment, backpacks, plot items, partners, etc., will there be contradictions between the system, gameplay, and plot?

As the project manager promoted by Chu Yuanxi from the test, and even the candidate for the CEO of the branch, Yu Wenhui did not hide it and told his concerns all. But Chu Yuanxi had already thought about this situation, so he patted him on the shoulder very reassuringly.

"Development, you have to see the prospects of development. When Kuaishou and Duanzi first made UGC short videos, they were also a group of wild players posting works, but now? MCN is the main force. Can you say that MCN is not UGC? Although some media call MCN PGC, professional content producer, in fact, it all means the same thing, I make the platform, open the editing environment for you, you submit your works, as for whether you do it alone or a company, I don't care, what I need is for you to make money, and then complete my platformization. ”

"You mean to be an eco?"

"Hey, yes, yes, I'm not as fast as you understand by Zhao Jie!Hey, I'll go!" Chu Yuan Xixin said that he would not change these two people, but it was not good, Zhao Jie was more skilled on his side, and he was more interested in the ability to control the code, and the ability of the leader in this regard must be enough. Although Yu Wenhui can also write code, he is stronger than Chu Yuanxi, and he is definitely much worse than Zhao Jie.

"Hahahaha, I'm playing MC. I'll be the CEO, and I'll look for the project manager. Yu Wenhui also let out a sand sculpture smile. MC is "Minecraft", a world-famous sandbox game, and it is also the first product to open up the UGC content ecology, providing a large number of development tools and a large number of professional teams to settle in to develop content.

If we talk about data, "Minecraft" already has 300 million registered users in the Celestial Empire region, tens of thousands of UGC content, and the average number of downloads per content has reached more than 50,000 times, even if each download only charges players an average of one dollar, there is also an income of 50,000 yuan, which is a direct reflection of the ecology. Ecological ecology is called ecology only if it can survive and allow UGC users to make money.

Of course, Chu Yuanxi has also researched "Minecraft", and any company that wants to make a platform through game UGC gameplay must investigate this benchmark.

As soon as he heard that Yu Wenhui was an MC player, he immediately asked: "Then what do you think is the difference between the current operation of "Minecraft" and platformization?"

Yu Wenhui asked blankly: "What is platformization? I don't understand it too well." ”

"Ah......" Chu Yuanxi regretted. In this regard, Zhao Jie has the advantage, and Yu Wenhui does not understand the meaning of the platform. If he understands, in fact, Zhao Jie should be able to change with him, the technology is insufficient, and it is enough to recruit a good CTO, the financial resources of the Pakistani group, the field where the conventional technical means are located is now not worried about recruiting suitable people, and some technical bulls have been recruited recently, raising the salary structure, so that there are also salary cows that only large companies have within the Pakistani people.

It's a pity that Yang Jiangang is already a family of his own, otherwise Yang Jiangang is the CEO Zhao Jie is the project manager, and the partner is actually very promising to do this project.

In fact, why is Chu Yuanxi so anxious to launch this platform project, the pace is so tight, the speed is so fast, almost everyone is pushing the meteor in stride? There are many reasons, such as the IP is just right, the merger and acquisition transaction of Baren Games, and the manpower, etc. But the main reason is that as the eye-catching king of the wide field of game UGC within the Celestial Empire, "Minecraft" and "Mini World" have not completed platforming.

If either of these two sandbox games has been platformed, the track will be covered with an iron curtain, and the latecomers will start from scratch with a cold start, and it will be impossible to chase at all, at least it will be difficult to chase. Unless it is the size and ability of a penguin, it must consider the cost-effectiveness of high investment and very low success rate.

Smart entrepreneurs always look for a track that is not shrouded in the Iron Curtain and then get to work.

However, limited by the sandbox game mode, there are many technical difficulties in platforming, the first is the composition of developers.

The road that Kuaishou and Duanzi took at the beginning is the road of the down-to-earth platform, starting from wild players, not afraid of low, only afraid of cold. It is a large number of wild players who enter to make sand sculpture works, forming a unique community atmosphere, and then gradually iterating to incubate the large number in this community atmosphere, generating income, which in turn drives the formation and development of MCNs, and finally enters a large number of works to improve the quality of the works.

It is precisely because Kuaishou and Duanzi have nurtured the market, provided ecology, and made MCN money to make money, that a spiral has been formed.

Douyin, which stands on another starting line, is not like this, as soon as it comes up, it takes the high-quality UGC route, the higher the quality, the easier it is to attract fans and likes, and the platform tonality is formed through the output of a large number of professional teams, that is, MCN.

But it must be noted that Douyin started from the market that Kuaishou and Duanzi have cultivated, which is equivalent to completing an overall iteration of the market in the past few years.

If Douyin started at the same time as Kuaishou and Duanzi, there would be no MCN organization at that time, and no matter how Douyin wanted to make high-quality products and exquisite community tonality, it could only be made into another Kuaishou or Duan. The community atmosphere between the three may not be the same in the direction of the low beep, but the big state will not make any difference, it is nothing more than who is more interesting to low.

The joke is also an asset of the headline system, and the headline department is very experienced on the way to low beep.

The current game UGC field is actually the same as the early UGC environment of short videos. At this time, if you don't have the market conditions like Douyin, if you want to enter the game, you can only take the road of Kuaishou and Duanzi, let more ordinary players enter the game, start producing content, and quickly complete the platform.

Even at the cost of low product quality.

History has shown through the growth of short videos that low is not terrible, although the work is low, it contains the wisdom of the creator and is the expression of the soul. Through the accumulation of time and the hard work of the platform, the sand will naturally gather into a tower, give birth to a large number, make creation give birth to value, and then iterate the community ecology.

At least this is the strategy that Chu Yuanxi has formulated for the platform of the Ba people, which is nothing more than copying the royal road of short videos into the game, and those who can see this through the entire history do not need three seconds to make this choice.

Minecraft, on the other hand, is the launch of developer tools, SDKs, and so on. This is completely for professional developers, and the average player is very difficult to get started, it is not a problem that it is easy to use and not easy to use, and it is not that the program ape is difficult to use.

This greatly limits the trend of platformization in terms of the composition of UGC.

Mini World is a little better, what is offered is an editor. But the sandbox game genre is a problem, which is the second difficulty of platforming, it is too flexible! Flexibility and freedom are sometimes a good thing, but certainly not at certain times.

Or use the game as an example, at the beginning of the game, it is best for new players to be able to take a belt through the novice tutorial to perform limited operations, so that players can get started step by step, rather than just come up and leave it alone, all functions are fully open, and throw it to the player to experience by himself.

Old players don't care, and even find it more fun, and the easiest choice for new players to make after being confused is to uninstall and get out of the pit, so as not to delay this time.

When Chu Yuanxi studied this market, he carefully analyzed the reason why "Mini World" has not become a qualified platform after operating for several years, and finally summed up this conclusion.

That's why he limited the platform of Ba Ren to the subdivision of RPG, and at the beginning he only did traditional RPG, and led the content creators step by step, and it would take about five years or so to advance to before the MMO. It's definitely a huge challenge for UGC users to develop MMOs, and he can't say that it will be done, but the rest is entirely possible, and it's just a matter of how big the library can be, that is, how much money to invest.

This last step, if realized, would be equivalent to any development team being able to develop MMORPG games on the Ba Ren platform through a set of standardized models. MMORPG is still the most profitable game genre in China, and the threshold for entry is very high, and the slightest carelessness will fail to develop. What the Ba people do is equivalent to a price butcher, leading a group of wild UGCs, who couldn't do MMOs before, to enter the scene to slaughter old MMO manufacturers, how interesting is this?

Chu Yuanxi told Zhao Jie that the pressure on Zhao Jie not only came from the anger of his peers, but also that this platform might not have any decent profits for a long time. Kuaishou and Duanzi were born in 2011 and 12, and it has been several years since they saw profits, and the so-called royal road also needs to be cultivated for many years before dawn.

Fortunately, the path drawn by Chu Yuanxi can see the dawn, as long as he doesn't walk crookedly.

Yu Wenhui also realized this, but Chu Yuanxi felt that it didn't matter, "The first Ba person has money, and the money in the account is enough for Zhao Jie to bring disaster." Second, isn't there still you? In the future, the heavy responsibility of making money for the Ba people will mainly depend on you!"

Yu Wenhui suddenly felt more pressure than Zhao Jie.

"Oh yes, I want to know, are there any brothers in your VR team who are not satisfied?"

"Ah, why are you not satisfied?" Yu Wenhui subconsciously asked rhetorically, but in fact, he knew that he might not be satisfied, but the acid was very sour.

Sure enough, Chu Yuanxi said generously: "Because of money." The brothers of the Ba people game will be able to divide the money immediately, and they are all millions of dollars, and there is no reason for you to divide them, and they are all in the account. ”

"Hey, this, the workplace, isn't that it?" Yu Wenhui pretended to be stressed.

He witnessed the meeting just now, and Chu Yuanxi changed his hexagram in public and directly discounted his verbal promise.

However, many rogue companies will sacrifice the interests of employees at this time, and employees at this time have no choice but to be crushed, and those with moral character will plan to let employees exercise their rights. However, the mention of "exercising" involves the issue of time limit, so it becomes very complicated.

Moreover, even if the option is exercised, in the general structure, the employee takes the option of the subsidiary, and the subsidiary is merged, so the exercise is arranged in a clear manner. The employees of the Pakistani people take the options of the parent company, and there are more places to sacrifice. For example, if you all go to the new company, according to the agreement signed at the beginning, the part of the equity that has been confirmed, the part of the account, and the part of the option, if you do not recognize the account, Lingxi will arrange another incentive plan for you.

This is not impossible, it is equivalent to a disguised increase in the price of the acquisition of Alibaba, but can Ali's new incentives catch up with the hacked part?

The reason why the first and second batch of employees at the earliest time were able to realize millions of dollars this time was because they had eaten the dividends of the rapid growth of the Ba people, so they were so happy to die. But after the merger and acquisition, the volume is calculated at 34 billion, and no matter how it grows, it will be the same order of magnitude.

However, it is precisely because of this kind of problem that Chu Yuanxi promised early on that once the merger and acquisition is completed, it will be cashed out in advance immediately, even if there is a change in the future, there is nothing to blame.

However, the project team led by Yu Wenhui has already assigned the relationship to the group early, so it will not follow Ali because of mergers and acquisitions, and the options are also the internal process of the group. Therefore, this time there is nothing to do with them, in other words, they don't have a lot of options, and the result is not tangible, and it is definitely not so pleasant to see that the colleagues who are all in the game are about to get a large amount of cash.

Then Yu Wenhui pretended that the world was peaceful, but Chu Yuanxi didn't see it that way. He stood up and stomped a few steps, and said to Wen Hui, "You think so, it's not right. It's true that the workplace is a bit of a fuck-up, but I don't want employees and management to live in their own logic and accumulate anger and disagreements, so that the company is ultimately hurt. Now that you've chosen to be the CEO, you have to start thinking about it. ”

Chu Yuanxi was very serious when he spoke, "They didn't make any mistakes, in this way, as the boss, you have to fight for their rights." Instead of telling them that the company is great, doing a good job, and taking care of the interests of other brothers very favorably, but not taking care of you, because it didn't need to.

You're so appeased, right? That's right, but it's equivalent to telling them that the company doesn't take into account their feelings, and that it's up to the company to take care of whose feelings the company decides, and that there is a reason for it, so they can't do anything about it. This appeasement does not help anyone. ”

Yu Wenhui frowned, "However, the company has indeed done a very fair job, at least fairer than many things I have seen before." Wouldn't my request at this time make the company think that our project team only knows about it?"

"It's normal for you to have this kind of thought, and at this time it depends on your responsibility, understand? In any company, if you want to ask for benefits from the company for your employees, even if it is a deserved benefit, you have to bear something. For example, the board of directors may write you a sum of money and so on, which is called responsibility and responsibility. ”

Chu Yuanxi said hahahaha and laughed again, "This is the reason why the company does not have a board of directors, and there is a lot less trouble." ”

Yu Wenhui tried to ask: "Then my brothers will also cash out?"

As a result, he didn't expect Chu Yuanxi to ask rhetorically: "What is the reason?"

After wiping it, the president hinted that I wanted it, is this considered a reason? Yu Wenhui howled angrily in his heart......
