Chapter 108: Meeting (Part II)
Hearing Zhao Shanhe say that he would talk about the development plan of the 4399 business department, Li Xinping, who was sitting the farthest away from Zhao Shanhe, hurriedly put the tip of the pen on the paper and waited for the record.
"It's been almost a week since the 4399 mini game was launched, what's the situation now, Xinping, you tell us. To Li Xinping's surprise, Zhao Shanhe did not arrange it directly, but asked him to report the situation first.
Li Xinping put down the pen in his hand and looked at Zhao Shanhe: "Mr. Zhao, as of the meeting, the number of registered users of the 4399 mini game has reached 100,000, the actual number of users has reached 200,000, and the number of online users has reached 50,000. The increase in the first three days was relatively large, and the next few days began to slow down. ”
Zhao Shanhe also recorded in the notebook he brought that Li Xinping didn't say much, but he said what Zhao Shanhe was most concerned about.
In the Internet industry, the core key point is definitely users, and they are real users.
Digital users are useless, real users are the most important.
Li Xinping said that there are more actual users than registered users, and Zhao Shanhe can understand it.
Except for a limited number of games that must be registered to play, other games can be played casually.
Many users are not happy to sign up for a certain game just to play a certain game.
It's not fragrant to open the webpage directly to play a game, why do you want to do such a troublesome thing to register?
After writing down what Li Xinping said, Zhao Shanhe raised his head and asked again, "What is the situation of Plants vs. Zombies now?"
"It's not live yet. Li Xinping hesitated for a moment before replying.
Zhao Shanhe didn't speak, looked at Li Xinping, waiting for Li Xinping to give an explanation.
The 4399 mini game has not been launched before, and the main reason is that it is waiting for Plants vs. Zombies.
It's just that Zhao Shanhe has been busy with hao123 financing and protection software during this time, and he hasn't paid much attention to the 4399 mini game.
When it was launched at that time, it was also up to Li Xinping to make his own decisions.
What Zhao Shanhe didn't expect was that Li Xinping didn't put Plants vs. Zombies online.
Li Xinping was a little nervous under Zhao Shanhe's gaze.
However, Li Xinping did not hesitate, and replied directly: "Mr. Zhao, I think so." There are already so many games in 4399 Mini Games, and there are no competitions on the market, so there is no need for us to launch Plants vs. Zombies so early. You also know the situation of the 4399 mini game, like hao123, there are no big technical requirements. It sounds like an online mini-game, but in fact, these games are no different from stand-alone games. If someone wants to imitate it, it's not difficult at all. Then, it's important to keep a hand. Leave Plants vs. Zombies and wait for the critical time to release it to maximize the usefulness of this game. ”
After saying this, Li Xinping stared at Zhao Shanhe, waiting for Zhao Shanhe to speak.
This was Li Xinping's own decision, and Li Xinping wanted to discuss this matter with Zhao Shanhe at that time.
Who knew that Zhao Shanhe was busy with hao123 and protection software during that time, so he threw him a sentence and sent him away.
Later, Li Xinping thought about reporting the situation to Zhao Shanhe again, but Zhao Shanhe was busy reading hao123's financing report every time, and let him make his own decisions if he couldn't say two words.
And then the matter dragged on, leading to the current scenario.
As one of the developers of Plants vs. Zombies, Li Xinping's awareness of the game Plants vs. Zombies is extremely high.
When making a game according to Zhao Shanhe's design, everyone in Li Xinping, in fact, was not too optimistic about this little game.
Without him, it's too simple.
Li Xinping: They all feel that it is difficult to attract people to stay in such a simple game.
It was only when the finished product was made and they tried it themselves for half a day that Li Xinping and they felt the magic of this little game.
Simple, fun, enough to consume time, and perfectly in line with the purpose of the 4399 mini-game.
It's fair to say that no mini-game can replace Plants vs. Zombies as the core of the 4399 mini-game.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Xinping decided to hide Plants vs. Zombies first and keep it in his hands as a killer feature.
When Li Xinping explained, Zhao Shanhe's brows first wrinkled, and then relaxed.
Li Xinping did not implement Zhao Shanhe's plan at the beginning, and it is impossible to say that he is unhappy. However, after carefully scrutinizing Li Xinping's reasons, Zhao Shanhe felt that Li Xinping's words had a little truth.
Like hao123, the 4399 mini-game does not have much technical content.
At the beginning, Zhao Shanhe asked Qi Qi and Li Xinping to discuss the development plan of the 4399 mini game, and also considered the issue of the competition.
At that time, it was decided to find a studio and buy out the game from the studio to prevent the emergence of competition.
But the current 4399 mini-games, there are not many mini-games developed by private individuals. Ninety-nine percent of the games are directly copied puzzle and casual games, and if others want to do it, they don't need to worry about copyright or anything like that.
Plagiarism, as long as it's not exactly the same, no one can say anything. Especially in today's era when domestic copyright awareness is extremely weak, not to mention.
Like a record company, isn't it also miserable to be pirated.
Microsoft, the big brother of the computer system, has a dismal sales in China because of piracy.
Li Xinping was able to think of this, which is actually commendable.
It's just that Zhao Shanhe absolutely disagrees with Li Xinping's approach.
No one in a position likes his subordinates to do things not according to their own ideas.
Even if it happens for a reason.
This is also the reason for the inaction of many people who eat imperial food, if they do the right thing according to their own ideas, they will not be praised, and if they do wrong, they will have to take the blame. It's better to follow the instructions of your superiors and just do it, just get by.
Of course, Zhao Shanhe will not reprimand Li Xinping.
After all, Li Xinping is also for the company's sake, and in the final analysis, it is Zhao Shanhe who benefits. If Zhao Shanhe still finds trouble with Li Xinping in this way, then few people dare to follow Zhao Shanhe.
"I see. Zhao Shanhe responded, and then said: "After the meeting is dismissed later, you can give instructions and put Plants vs. Zombies online." What we need to do now is to seize the market, not look ahead. Maybe there will be a competition, but as long as we update fast enough, then the so-called competition is just a joke. ”
After speaking, Zhao Shanhe looked at Qi Qi again: "Manager Qi, hao123, arrange the 4399 mini game, I hope the number of users of 4399 can exceed one million within a month!"
Qi Qi nodded: "Okay." ”
Then Zhao Shanhe went on to say to Li Xinping: "4399 mini games will be the company's main project in the next six months, and it is necessary to accelerate development." In this regard, you discuss with Manager Qi and the two of you, make the best plan, and show it to me when the time comes. Then, as much as possible, we developed according to the plan we had at the beginning, asking for money, and I supported money on my side, and I supported people on my side. ”
Li Xinping and Qi Qi replied in unison: "Okay." ”
"Make the plate first, and when the plate is made, it's time for us to eat. It will definitely be difficult at the beginning, don't worry about how much it will cost, start spending the money, and we will definitely be able to earn it back in the future. Zhao Shanhe looked at Li Xinping and said.
The meeting has been going on for almost an hour now, and Zhang Xiaoba is like an invisible person, sitting between Qi Qi and Li Xinping.
Zhao Shanhe glanced at Zhang Xiaoba, and then said to Qi Qi: "Within a month, the number of users of the 4399 Mini Game can reach one million, and the investment plan will be launched immediately." ”
Qi Qi asked puzzledly: "Mr. Zhao, in what form does the 4399 mini game attract investment?"
"Advertisement. Zhao Shanhe said firmly.
Seeing that the three people in the conference room all showed puzzled looks, Zhao Shanhe explained: "We have a hundred games now, and among the hundred games, there will definitely be one or several games that are popular games." These popular games are our tools to make money. We are an online mini-game that needs to be loaded. We can charge for advertising in this form by putting the ad page on load. ”
Qi Qi and the three of them showed a look of sudden realization, and Zhao Shanhe continued: "In terms of technology, this should not be too much of a problem for you. When the user volume of 4399 Mini Games increases, we don't necessarily have to buy games from private individuals. It can be the same as hao123, as a platform. Of course, that can only be done when the 4399 mini-game is the same as hao123, and it can be done in the same way. ”
"Otherwise, the competition station will have a price war with us, and it will be worth the loss than burning money. Now the most important thing for us is to make the volume of the 4399 mini game first. Only when the volume is done can there be room for profit. Otherwise, no matter how good it is, it will be useless. ”
After the three of them digested the content of their words, Zhao Shanhe continued: "4399 mini game, Manager Zhang, you have free time, also help to get it." Our company is not very staffed now, so we can only do this for the time being. ”
"No problem, I'll let the knife help. Zhang Xiaoba immediately agreed.
Zhang Xiaoba now has some understanding of Xiaomi Technology's projects.
As a hacker, he may not be able to develop games, but with a little learning, there is no problem with simple help.
In particular, they will not be able to go abroad to "study".
It's not a large-scale online game, this kind of small game, if you want to "learn", there is not much difficulty.
After all, it's a small game, and those foreign game manufacturers don't care very much, and they won't protect the source code well like those core games.
With that, another hour passed.
Zhao Shanhe didn't want to delay their time, and directly started the next agenda.
4399 mini game currently needs to discuss these things, wait until the volume is up, other aspects need to be paid attention to, the most important thing now is to do the volume.
I saw Zhao Shanhe looking at Zhang Xiaoba: "Manager Zhang, to what extent has the protection software been developed now?"
"Forty percent, the remaining 60 percent, should be able to be made within three months. After another month of testing, before January 01, it will definitely be able to go on the market. Zhang Xiaoba replied without hesitation.
Zhang Xiaoba and Xiaodao have summed up with the two of them in the past few days, and without accidents, they were able to make their ideal protection software in such a long time.
The progress can reach 40% in such a short period of time because of the protection software that Zhang Xiaoba made himself before.
But the remaining 60 percent needs to be re-developed. After all, Zhang Xiaoba's protection software was a few years ago and was outdated.
Although it is still so-so, since they want to do it, they must do the best.
Otherwise, how can you compete with others?
Zhao Shanhe looked at the screen of his mobile phone, and then said: "Today is August 24th, four months, too long." I hope that your side can speed up as much as possible, and strive to complete the test before December, and officially launch it on December 1st, can you do it?"
Zhao Shanhe is really anxious, because of his rebirth, and his participation in many things, history has begun to deviate.
Fortunately for now, the further back you go, the greater the deviation will be.
The protection software had to be divided into three parts of the world for several years in the previous life, but the current situation Zhao Shanhe did not dare to guarantee whether it would be the same as in the previous life.
In case 360 comes out ahead of schedule, it will not be so easy to lose the opportunity and want to seize the market again.
Therefore, Zhao Shanhe hoped that Zhang Xiaoba and them would make things as soon as possible.
"I'll try as much as I can. Zhang Xiaoba didn't fill his words.
According to his and Knife's estimates, it should be possible to do it before December.
It's just that habit makes Zhang Xiaoba not make a commitment.
"Okay, that's it for today. Manager Zhang, you stay for a while, Manager Qi and Manager Li, the two of you will go out and get busy first. Zhao Shanhe looked at Qi Qi and said to Li Xinping.
Qi Qi and Li Xinping knew that Zhao Shanhe had left Zhang Xiaoba to have something to say, so they stood up and walked outside.
After Qi Qi closed the door of the conference room, Zhao Shanhe asked Zhang Xiaoba, "Brother Starling, how is it, are you still used to it recently?"
"It's fine. Zhang Xiaoba was stunned for a moment, and then replied.
"Have you contacted her?" Zhao Shanhe then asked.
Zhang Xiaoba smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, just wait." It's too early to contact her now. ”
Zhao Shanhe said disapprovingly: "Starling, it's wrong for you to do this." Now that you've decided to chase her back, you shouldn't have any scruples. Aren't you afraid that because of your momentary hesitation, the two of you will never have a chance to be together? You yourself know that her family is different from ordinary people. A lot of things are out of your own hands. I can understand that you want to wait until you have achieved a certain amount of results before chasing her, but have you ever thought about what if she is forced by family pressure to be with someone else during this period? What should you do? What should she do?"
