302. Little Pony's Request
First of all, the most important point, he made it clear from the beginning that he would not interfere with the operation of Tengxun, and it was his freedom to do whatever Brother Xiao Ma wanted, as long as it would not seriously endanger the interests of the company, Zhou Fangyuan would not interfere.
But now that Brother Xiao Ma wants to enter the game industry, Zhou Fangyuan is so instinctive that he frowns.
Tengxun's performance in the game is well known, and there are a lot of black spots and black history, of course, the primitive accumulation of capital is dirty, and no enterprise can be 100% exempt from vulgarity.
However, according to the memory of the previous life, Tengxun's first foray into the game industry is also a QQ game lobby, but it should be around 03 years, 04 years of "QQ Hall", 05 years of "QQ Fantasy", 06 years of "QQ Sound", ...... Tencents began to grow in the game industry step by step. In this life, Brother Xiao Ma put forward the idea of making a game three years in advance.
"Brother Ma, can I know your specific thoughts, why did you come up with the idea of making a game?"
Zhou Fangyuan asked.
"Mainly to increase user stickiness, I think these small games are very interesting, such as mahjong, this is a game that people all over the country like, in reality, people who can't play for various reasons can play games with netizens across the country through the computer, they will think of QQ when they play games, or when they use QQ, they will think of games, so that we can improve the frequency of use of our software and the willingness to use, why, Xiaoyuan, you are not optimistic about this project?"
Little Brother Ma asked.
His question may be sincere to a large extent, because in terms of games, Zhou Fangyuan is currently at the forefront of the entire Chinese Internet, and one of his games has directly pressed down other domestic counterparts, even if it is foreign counterparts who can make this kind of achievement, just this point, can make Xiao Ma take the initiative to ask his opinion.
Of course, it is also possible that Brother Xiao Ma is just politely asking, after all, although Zhou Fangyuan is a major shareholder, he promised not to interfere in the company's operation, what does he usually think, if Brother Xiao Ma thinks it is good, he will support it, and in the same way, if Brother Xiao Ma thinks it is not good, then he will refuse it, what else can Zhou Fangyuan do?
And this project does have a head, the real rise of the last generation of Tengxun is because of the emergence of the game hall, the user stickiness immediately improved, which is on the fast track of development. Before the launch of the game lobby, although there were also many users of Tencent, it was still developing steadily after all, and after that, Tencents began to really grow by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, this project can be carried out, and there is no need to worry about the development status of the domestic Internet, because even if the development speed of the Internet has not reached the level of 03, it is not wrong to seize the market in advance. Now there are few similar platforms in China, the biggest one is Lianzhong, the previous Lianzhong was very miserable, almost pressed by QQ throughout the whole process. This time, Brother Xiao Ma started the game hall project three years in advance, and he can still provide some help here, and the fate of Lianzhong may be even more difficult.
As for whether Tencent will squeeze the living space of distant games after the rapid development of the game industry, Zhou Fangyuan has never had any worries. He has memories of the future, and there is no guarantee that he still knows what games are popular. As long as they can stand firmly in the first echelon, other companies can only eat meat and drink soup with distant games, and in turn grab meat to eat...... That is not too likely.
"No, I'm not unoptimistic. ”
So Zhou Fangyuan replied almost without thinking about it.
"I said before, don't interfere in the specific operation of the company, Brother Ma, you can do it if you think you want to, don't ask me what I mean. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.
"Well, actually, I want your help with one thing......
Across the phone, Zhou Fangyuan could have the embarrassed expression of Brother Ma.
"Help, as long as I can help......"
Zhou Fangyuan said without much thought.
Before he could finish speaking, Brother Xiao Ma immediately picked up the words, "You can definitely help, no problem." ”
"Well, what the hell is that you need my help with. ”
Zhou Fangyuan felt that something was wrong, and he asked.
"Actually, I want to borrow some people from you......"
Brother Pony finally said it, and this may be the most fundamental purpose of his call.
"What?"
Zhou Fangyuan's eyes widened, and his voice couldn't help but rise.
"Hehe, Xiaoyuan, I can't help it, you know, although there are a lot of talents here in Shenzhen, but there are not many people who can make games at this time, and I also want to compete with other platforms, so I want to do it well from the beginning, which requires experienced programmers." In this regard, you are a big player in distant games, and I can only borrow from you. So Xiaoyuan, you must help Brother Bang with this, please. ”
Brother Pony said on the other side.
Zhou Fangyuan really frowned this time, "Brother Ma, I won't tell you, our manpower here is quite tight now......"
Zhou Fangyuan really didn't lie about this, the two teams of Yuanfang Games, one is responsible for the maintenance and follow-up development of "Plants vs. Zombies", as of today, "Plants" has sold more than 20 million sets worldwide, and it is already one of the most successful games in the world. The sales data is not even worse than some series of games, but you must know that "Plant" is still only a single game so far, and with the competition between single game and those series of games, it can be seen how popular this game is.
As a result, Plant's servers were under high load all day.
The domestic server is far away from the game, and there is currently a team of more than a dozen people in charge of this work, while abroad, the server is in Blizzard, and Blizzard has to recruit more people to ensure that the server does not have problems.
Not to mention how much revenue this game has brought so far, but in order to maintain the quality of the game itself without problems and the stable and normal operation of the server, the money per day is not a small number. The problem of money is good, the presence of players can bring income to the game, but what about manpower? Now just plants, from the development of subsequent versions, to the repair and upgrade of the current version, plus the maintenance of the server, it takes a team of dozens of people.
The third brother poached Chen Guangting's team from Treasure Island, basically busy with the rotation, they are now busy trying to replenish the manpower, how can he release people in this case? And the other team, that is, the team from Wangyi, they are responsible for the development of "Big Talk", and now it has reached the most critical juncture, they have to deal with countless instructions every day, all-night is a common thing, not to mention overtime, in order for the game to be launched as soon as possible, these young people have not really rested for a long time.
Even Zhou Fangyuan and the third brother ordered them to rest, and they didn't listen at all, as soon as they left, the people who had just been driven out quietly returned. The idea of these young people is also very simple, they must first prove that they are no worse than their compatriots from the treasure island, and secondly, "Plant" is in front of the jade, and all the developers have been rewarded, these are real temptations, and they want to get more salaries and higher level bonuses, these young people are also fighting.
Let's ask, in this case, how can Fang Yuan send people out next week? Even if he can pick out people, are they willing to go? Regardless of the "Big Talk" that is about to be completed here, who is willing to accept the development of the game hall of Raushzi?
So it can be said very clearly that Zhou Fangyuan can't send people at all. Of course, if the Yuquan company contacted by Brother Li had eyebrows, he might be able to exclude some mature people here, but now, he really can't do anything.
I told Brother Xiao Ma about the situation on his side, and Brother Xiao Ma was silent.
"That's right, that's why I'm causing you trouble......"
Brother Xiao Ma said with some regret and was about to hang up the phone.
But at this moment, Zhou Fangyuan had an idea, "Wait, Brother Ma, I suddenly have an idea." ”
"What?"
Brother Xiao Ma has always admired Zhou Fangyuan's "creativity", and when Zhou Fangyuan suddenly said this, he immediately looked forward to it.
Zhou Fangyuan thought of where he was now, as well as what happened during the day today, he sorted out his thoughts, "Brother Ma, do you think this will work, you are short of manpower now, I won't tell you, the companies under my name are also short of manpower, and Brother Ma in Hangzhou, when we talk occasionally, he also said that he is not manpowered, since we are all short of people, then we might as well hold a job fair." ”
"Job fair?"
Brother Xiao Ma was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes, the job fair, and it's not a job fair in the traditional sense, let's hold an online job fair this time, I'll take the lead here, get a recruitment website out, your Tengxun and Brother Da Ma's Ali are involved, and I can also let them send a personnel director over there, and our four companies will jointly hold a job fair, which should attract a lot of people." Since it is not easy to find talents in reality, why not look for them directly on the Internet? No matter where he is, as long as he goes online, he will definitely be able to see our recruitment information. And not only that, we can also directly make this recruitment website bigger and stronger, all walks of life actually have the problem of insufficient manpower, and many people have a headache because they can't find a suitable job, we can directly match them, so that people looking for jobs can find suitable jobs, so that companies that lack manpower can find qualified employees, while facilitating others, we can also get great convenience ourselves, and I think, this market will definitely not be too small, it will continue to develop, if we can really become a national, and even the world's largest recruitment website, you say...... What will it be like then?"
"But isn't there already such a website now......
Brother Pony asked.
"Hey, it's just some small websites, Brother Ma, let's either not do it, or if we want to do it, we can directly become the strongest, and it is not easy to gather the strength of our four companies and eat a piece of cake fiercely?"
Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.
