According to the famous Murphy's Law, if there is a chance that something will go bad, then it will always happen, no matter how small that possibility is.

Just four days after Uncle Ji Hu and Lu Menglin chatted, a game with a high degree of similarity to "Legend of Blood" appeared on the market.

The game, called "Legend of the Blue Moon", became an instant hit as soon as it was launched in an internet café.

The reason is very simple, because this game, which is more than 80% similar to "Legend of Blood", has character upgrades more than ten times faster than the former, and the equipment attributes are much stronger, and even the version of the map is one step ahead.

When "Legend of Blood" was still in the era of version 1.5, "Legend of Blue Moon" has opened version 1.6 of the Bloody Condor, which has a very similar map upgrade, which has successfully attracted a large number of legendary players to shift their positions and experience similar competing products.

Moreover, "Legend of the Blue Moon" also launched a monthly card system, which is another upgrade of the second card system following the Legend of Blood.

In fact, the launch of the monthly card system is the next marketing strategy of "Legend of Blood", but I didn't expect to be preempted by this unborn opponent by half a step and released three days in advance.

And in contrast, "Legend of the Blue Moon" is also menacing the Internet café channel, and they give the Internet café a higher monthly card commission, which has a tendency to catch up.

The large amount of marketing publicity done by "Legend of Blood" before is equivalent to being rubbed by this "Legend of the Blue Moon" and sharing the popularity gained by publicity and promotion.

Moreover, this "Legend of the Blue Moon" shamelessly plagiarized the poster design elements of the bloody legend, sparing no effort to confuse the player's concept of the two games.

Suddenly, several waves of highly targeted combination punches caught "Legend of Blood" off guard, losing a considerable number of players.

Moreover, in the vast majority of mainland cities around 2000, the protection of brands and copyrights is not as strict as that of later generations, which also gives "Legend of the Blue Moon" a great soil for survival.

All in all, it is a sentence, the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. Lu Menglin's legendary empire ushered in the first wave of challenges, and the strength of the opponent was not weak.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, in the conference room of "Game Time and Space".

"Is the investigation clear, and where is the other party?" Uncle Ji Hu asked.

Ah V nodded, frowned, and said: "Behind this garbage game is the Grand Hall Game Company, which is a private enterprise, small in scale, and a typical hooligan!

I've already arranged for a reporter to write an article, and the headline on the front page of the next issue is to condemn this shameless act. ”

When Lu Menglin heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said lightly: "Change the topic! Don't report on them." ”

"What, why?" said Ah V angrily.

"Covering them at this time is equivalent to making free advertisements for them, and I'm not stupid!" Lu Menglin smiled

Road.

As soon as he said this, the people in the conference room immediately understood.

What Ah V and Lu Menglin said is not wrong, but the angle is different and the focus is different.

One is hoping to use the power of the media to attack the other party, and the other is from a commercial point of view, not wanting to give the other party the opportunity to further spread exposure.

"Zhang Bo, is there a legal solution?" Lu Menglin asked in a deep voice.

Although Zhang Bo is only a sophomore, he already has the temperament of a senior legal officer.

"To be honest, it's difficult. The gaming industry is still in a brutal growth phase. We will definitely win the lawsuit, but it will take a long time, and this kind of lawsuit, just appeal, can drag on for several years. Moreover, the claim is not easy to determine, which is a thankless task. Zhang Bo smiled bitterly.

"Damn! such a cheap company, just find someone to smash them!" Zhu Xiaoguang said angrily on the side.

Liu Taosheng sneered at each other: "If you smash people, you can sell miserably, saying that we are bullying the small with the big and vicious competition!"

"Then what should I do? just swallow my anger!" Zhu Xiaoguang said angrily.

Lu Menglin waved his hand, motioning for them to shut up, and then said slowly: "First of all, what we have to solve is the problem of version sources. The other party suddenly got hold of our version of the game, no matter how we got it, we must deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise we will be very passive.

Second, the organizational structure of Legend Culture must be rebuilt, there can be no more problems in management, and there are already competitors, we must maintain professional standards in order to defeat them. ”

Lu Menglin paused and said: "I made a mistake on the side of Legend Culture, I took too big a step, only focusing on market channels and ignoring internal management. From now on, I will be the direct chief producer, with a development department, an operation department, and a general department.

The development department is composed of the planning group, the program group and the art and visual group, and the operation part is the marketing group, the channel group and the product group. The General Department is mainly composed of finance and legal affairs and business public relations. ”

While speaking, Lu Menglin casually drew the organizational structure of legendary culture on the blackboard, which was hierarchical, simple and clear, and it was clear at a glance.

"I will personally select the leader of the development department, and I plan to ask Uncle Ji Hu to serve as the general manager of the operation department. Lu Menglin said with a smile.

Although it has been communicated before, Uncle Ji Hu still said very modestly: "I don't know the game, I can only do my best, if I don't do it well, I will replace the young man." ”

Ah V on the side seemed a little unhappy, pursed his lips and rolled his eyes.

In fact, everyone knows that according to the current development momentum of Legend Culture, it is very likely to become the most profitable game company in the country, and it is very powerful to be able to serve as the general manager of the operation department of Legend Culture, and the amount of salary and bonus is very high

No problem.

Lu Menglin smiled, faced Ah V and said: "Brother V, I know you don't like to go to work and don't like to be annoyed, so I plan to hire you to be the chief planner of the legendary theme park, and the projects over there are handled by you, and you have the final say, what do you think?"

"What, make me a theme park?" Ah V was completely stunned for a moment.

The two hadn't communicated before, Ah V just saw Hu Shang, a little petty, he knew very well that he was born in the media, he was used to being free and casual, and it was okay to make magazines, but if he was the leader of the company, he had to deal with so many things every day, and he had to be annoyed to death.

But he didn't expect that Lu Menglin would hand over a project worth hundreds of millions, or even billions of follow-ups, to him in charge.

"Liufang rebuilt the theme park, that's my big rear!Brother V, it's all up to you!" Lu Menglin said with a smile.

Lu Menglin believes very much in Ah V's aesthetics, as well as his sensitivity to art, and it is completely reassuring that he will be the chief planner of the theme park, at least at the artistic level.

"I, I can't manage well. Ah V was very self-aware and smiled bitterly.

It's okay to let him manage an editorial team, but let him manage a big project, a big company, that's completely blind, he belongs to the kind of person who is so romantic that he can't even manage himself.

"No problem, you can recruit people to form a team! The important thing is trust! I trust you. Congratulations to the two of you who have become senior executives of the company, you will get 5% of the shares of your company and pay dividends on time every year. ”

Lu Menglin's words meant that Ah V and Uncle Ji Hu both entered the upstart class with an annual salary of 10 million, and this was only in 2000.

"There is no general manager in the comprehensive department for the time being, and Zhang Bo, Zhu Xiaoguang, and Liu Taosheng serve as department managers, holding two percent of the company's shares. ”

After Lu Menglin finished speaking, the three roommates were stunned at the same time, they didn't expect such an arrangement at all.

This is the legendary step to the sky!

The three of them are different from Uncle Ji Hu, they are just students, and they can get two percent of the shares of Legendary Culture, which means a net worth of millions, and they don't have to worry about doing anything in this life.

"This is only a temporary distribution plan, and it will be adjusted in the future according to everyone's ability and contribution. Lu Menglin smiled.

As long as the game can continue to maintain the momentum of rapid development, everyone will only earn more and more, and there is no need to worry about income at all.

As the later generation of Ma Daxia said, there are only two reasons why employees want to leave, one is that the money is not enough, and the other is that people are unhappy.

Now Lu Menglin has solved these two problems, so that everyone can make a lot of money happily.
