Chapter 515: It's not easy to be a boss

Effie stretched out her hand to open her computer, and in addition to the commonly used office software, there were also several game platform icons on her computer desktop, such as Facebook Game Platform, Lianzhong Game Platform, Winger Game Platform, China Game Center, and Game Tea Garden.

She is the president of Facebook Games, not only to pay attention to the management of her own business, but also to pay attention to the dynamics of her opponents at any time, so she downloaded all the platforms of several major competitors.

Not only downloaded, but also tried to play it, there is a charging function, and Effie also deliberately charged it.

She treats herself as an ordinary user to experience each platform and find out their own advantages and disadvantages.

Double-click on the "Winger Games" icon and log in to the platform.

As soon as she logged in, a pop-up window reminded her to update the version.

Effie clicked "Update", and of course the network speed on the side of the Science Park is guaranteed, so the update speed is not slow.

From the process of updating, Effie's face became heavy, because she found that this winger game learning ability is still very strong, and in the process of software update, she has already learned the installation cutscene of the Facebook game platform. Compared to the previous rudimentary update interface, it is obviously a lot better.

During the installation of this new version, there are also beautiful illustrations on the interface, which make an introduction to the new version.

It can be seen that the new version of the winger this time has fully copied the Facebook game platform!

From the UI layout, to the function setting, to the game classification, it basically imitates Facebook, and of course, it has also made some of its own "micro-innovations".

For example, the cartoon characters in the Facebook game, the winger has been modified, and several cartoon characters that can be selected do not look the same as the ones in Facebook.

In this way, "infringement" is avoided, after all, the domestic electronic product copyright law only protects the content but not the model.

If he doesn't change the copy at all, then Facebook Games can sue him for plagiarism and infringement, but as long as he makes a slight change, it doesn't look exactly the same, and there is basically no possibility of winning the lawsuit.

Moreover, the winger also highlighted a unique selling point of the new version, which is the launch of the Battle Zone!

This selling point, Effie didn't understand it, isn't mahjong chess and cards all battles, why is it still divided into a separate battle area?

After the update, after she entered the main interface of the border defense game platform, Effie took a serious look.

At a glance, if it weren't for the eye-catching four big words "winger game" in the upper left corner of the platform, she would have thought that she was opening a Facebook game platform.

The overall layout of the interface is exactly the same as that of Facebook games, but the main color has been changed, and it is pale yellow.

However, there is one thing that the winger can't learn in the Facebook game, that is, the automatic division of regions, which is supported by hardware, and the winger does not have this strength yet.

"Mr. Ai, take a look at their new battle area! It's this newly launched section that has taken away a lot of our users. The manager of the technical department said with a depressed face.

Effie looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, under the card area, there was a new area, and it was deliberately marked in red and bolded, "Battle Zone"!

She moved the mouse and clicked it, and several game categories came out below, "CS Battle Zone, Warcraft Battle Zone, StarCraft Battle Zone"!

In particular, the CS Battle Zone shows that there are now more than 180,000 people online!

There are fewer people in the Warcraft Battle Zone, but there are more than 20,000 people online, and StarCraft has only a few thousand people online.

But this is also amazing, in this battle area, at more than nine o'clock in the morning, there are more than 200,000 people online!

You must know that the overall online level of the winger game platform, before this version is updated, is only about 200,000.

"This ...... People who play this CS, don't they have to go to school and work?Or is this game like chess, you can play it secretly in this office? By the way, I know CS in these games, it seems to be very popular among boys, what are the main types of players in the other two groups??" Effie asked puzzled.

She's a girl.,I didn't play games much before.,CS only became popular in the second half of 2001.,Effie heard the boys in the class discuss this game when she was in school.,But I didn't pay much attention to it.。 Her old classmate Zhang Liang seems to be addicted to this game, and for a while, he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to CS to kill a few policemen, what AK and what snipe.

"These games are all confrontation types, and the players are all boys, especially CS, which is the hottest game recently, and the popularity is no less than that of a legend. The manager of the technical department knows that in fact, on weekends or holidays, he will also invite a few friends to go to the Internet café to play CS for five consecutive times, but he is not an avid player.

"Where do I buy this game? I'm going to see what kind of game it is that attracts so many boys. Effie asked curiously.

Since the opponent has made a move and the effect is not bad, of course he can't rush to deal with it, and he must find out the situation before thinking about how to deal with it.

Effie decided that she wanted to play these games first, first figure out what the selling points of this kind of games are, and what characteristics they have, and then she can figure out how to do it.

"These games seem to be all ...... Ao, by the way, it is an Ogilvy software agent, you can buy a disc to install. The technical manager replied.

"Then I'll ask my assistant to buy it for me. As she spoke, Effie reached out to grab the phone.

"Mr. Ai, I suggest, if you really want to experience the charm of these games, buying a disc back is not the best choice. The manager of the technical department said with a smile.

"How do you say that? How can you play without buying CDs? Effie didn't understand what he was saying.

"These games, especially that CS, must go to the Internet café to play!And it's best to find five teammates, the Internet café sits in the dark for five consecutive times, that kind of experience, tsk......"

Although Effie couldn't understand what he said about "sitting in five consecutive seats" or "opening black", she had a good habit, that is, listening to people's persuasion.

In these areas that you don't understand, other people's suggestions should be more thoughtful than your own thoughts, so sit down according to what the people who understand.

But the game still has to be bought, and Effie calls her assistant to come in.

After the establishment of Facebook Games, Effie served as the president, and of course there was also an assistant, who was actually a secretary. However, Effie felt that she was young and that having a secretary was not like that, so she called her assistant.

Effie's assistant, older than Effie.

It's obvious that the entire Facebook technology, which is smaller than Effie, doesn't seem to be able to find a few.

Her assistant is a senior girl at China Normal University, and she is sure that she will join Facebook Technology after graduation, and she is still an intern.

"Assistant Wu, you remember the names of these games, go to an Ogilvy software store, and buy these games back. Effie politely arranged.

After the assistant wrote down the names of the games and walked out, Effie turned to the technical manager again.

"Manager Hu, go back to work first, I'll think about this matter first and see how to deal with it. ”

After the technical manager also went out, Effie put down the back of the executive chair, half lay on it, and looked up at the ceiling in deep thought.

It's not easy to be a boss......

When she used to be a department manager, she still felt that she was at ease, and she wanted to know everything about the company, and she had a lot of wonderful ideas.

Now that she is in charge of herself, she realizes the difference between the boss and the department manager.

As a department manager, you can only consider the problem from a certain angle, and then make suggestions directly, without considering the overall impact, or even what the consequences will be after the implementation of the plan, because these things are all thought about by the boss.

But the boss is not so easy, subordinates may ask a lot of problems, and there are many solutions, but how to make a choice, you must make the decision yourself, no one can help you.

What kind of impact will a plan bring to the company after implementation, you must think clearly before implementation.

Just like now, the winger made a big move and it worked well.

Then the technical manager will tell himself about this problem, and then suggest that Facebook Games follow suit and make such a battle zone.

His idea can't be said to be wrong, but Effie still has to think more, such as whether these games are compatible with the Facebook game platform, and whether there will be any copyright problems when joining these games, whether the follow-up will bring legal disputes, and so on.

Winger Games, even including the Lianzhong Game Platform, in the eyes of everyone on Facebook, are small companies, grass stage teams, and they are not opponents at the same level at all.

Those companies can only focus on the short-term effect and launch all kinds of new games without thinking about any legal disputes.

But Facebook is not a small platform, and Effie is ambitious to make Facebook Game bigger, even to compete with Facebook.

So the issues she considers are much more complicated.

Thinking of Manager Hu's suggestion, it is best to go to an Internet café to experience these games, Effie rolled her eyes, and she reached out and took out her mobile phone from her pocket.

…………

602, 6th floor, building 5, boys' dormitory, Zhang Liang is lying on the bed and sleeping, he went to the Internet café with a few good friends last night to fight all night, of course, playing CS.

I slipped back to the dormitory at seven o'clock in the morning, and there were no important classes in the morning, which was a good time to catch up on sleep.

"Bell bell bell ......"

was sleeping in a daze, when Zhang Liang heard the mobile phone ringing next to his pillow.

He didn't even open his eyes, fumbled to pick up his phone, and fumbled to press on.

"Hey ......"

"Zhang Liang, are you in class? I'm Effie. ”

A clear girl's voice came out of the phone, and Zhang Liang suddenly sobered up.

Effie?

Effie!

He sat up as soon as he was bone, his voice was not ambiguous, and he asked enthusiastically: "No, there is no class, Effie, why did you call, what is the matter......?
