Chapter 119: Stability

Li Modu has already said everything to this point, if Zhang Hao and the others still don't understand what he means, then they are not a 'technology nerd', it is simply mentally retarded.

Since they have begun to gradually agree with Li Mo's concept of the company's structure, Li Mo will naturally not let go of this opportunity, and he solemnly and sincerely extended an invitation to Zhang Hao, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yuan, and Lilith Technology officially invite the two to serve as the project manager and chief planner of the company's game "Dota Legend" respectively. ”

…… He highlighted the names 'Lilith Tech' and 'Dota Legends'.

"I ...... Let's ......" Li Mo's invitation made Zhang Hao and Yuan Shuai a little at a loss, and the two of them were at a loss for a long time, but they still couldn't say a complete answer.

"In addition to the change of the top authority in the future, in principle, I do not plan to make major changes to the other members of the R&D team, my goal is to complete the development of the game "Dota Legend" in three to four months and bring it to the publishing market. ”

When it comes to his goals, Li Mo is very, very pragmatic.

Although Zhang Hao and the others still did not respond, they also nodded secretly in their hearts.

This timing is basically in line with their previous estimates.

"Like you, I have the greatest expectations and aspirations for the game newspaper Dota Legends, and we all hope that it will be launched as soon as possible and become a product that 'repositions card gameplay' in the industry, so to speak, there is no contradiction or conflict in our fundamental goal. ”

Li Mo's current state is completely a leader who loves his career and hopes to let more people share the joy of his success.

"In that case, why can't we work together? You all have the experience of working in Penguin Games, so have you ever thought that one day in the future, our Dota Legend will be able to leave all Penguin games behind, although it may not be as good as the total profit brought by dozens of Penguin Games games because of the number gap, but in a single game, our Dota Legend will be able to trample them all under your feet?"

Although Zhang Hao still didn't answer positively, the entanglement and struggle on his face were already obvious.

Painting the pie to this point, Li Mo also knew that he should stop in moderation.

If the urging is too much, but they make the opposite decision, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket for nothing?

So Li Mo gave the other party a step in time, "You two, it's a pleasure to chat with you today." Please consider my invitation carefully, and hopefully...... We have the opportunity to work together. ”

"Okay, Director Li, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Zhang Hao and the others also knew that their current state was not suitable for making any decisions, and it was rare for Li Mo to find a step for them, so they quickly calmed down their emotions, shook hands with Li Mo, and left the club together.

Looking at the distant backs of the two, Li Mo sighed, what happened next was no longer something he could control.

After all, the game industry is not his field of expertise, and buying Lilith Technology is just borrowing memories from his past life. To put it mildly, any traverser with memories and enough money in his hands can get to where he is now.

His main business has always been in the film and television industry, and Lilith Games is just a gold mine for him that constantly produces gold, and when he has time in the future, he still has to find a professional person to take care of this aspect.

I hope Zhang Hao and Yuan Shuai can make the choice he wants......

…………

I don't know if Li Mo's prayers played a role, just one day later, Zhang Hao and Yuan Shuai called and decided to accept Li Mo's invitation to continue to stay in Lilith Technology, serving as the project manager and chief planner of the "Dota Legend" project respectively.

Early in the morning of the third day, accompanied by Zhang Hao and Yuan Shuai, Li Mo stepped into the office of Lilith Technology again as the owner of the company.

Lilith Tech's office area is barely decorated, everyone's desks are connected, and even the company's three founders have limited themselves to having desks that are slightly larger than the others', with more room for personal belongings.

Uh, by the way, Wang Xinwen has already moved his things......

After reaching an agreement with Li Mo, early the next morning, he went to the company to pack his things, and then left under the attention of everyone in the company.

Before leaving, he did not explain anything to the employees.

Because of this, Zhang Hao and Yuan Shuai also complained in private.

In their opinion, even if the company has changed owners, it is a bit irresponsible to get along with everyone for so long after all, and leave without an explanation.

However, this also just confirms Li Mo's definition of "businessman", and he is also an irresponsible businessman.

But this is also a good thing, if it weren't for him, maybe Zhang Hao and they wouldn't have agreed to Li Mo's invitation so decisively.

On the first day he came to the company, the first thing Li Mo did was to reassure people and try to ensure that the current R&D team would not change too much.

Originally, Lilith Technology now only has about 30 people, almost a radish and a pit, if there is a large-scale resignation, how can this be played?

At this time, Li Mo would like to thank Lilith Technology for not having a big office area now, because as long as he stands in front of his desk, he can basically let everyone hear his voice.

"Hello everyone, first of all, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Li Mo, I am a director and actor, but from today onwards, I have a new identity, the owner of Lilith Technology. ”

The big scene of the New Year's party of the Modu Drama Academy has been experienced, and this little person is not qualified to make Li Mo nervous.

"Everyone may already know about the change of ownership of the company, but there is one thing that everyone definitely doesn't know," Li Mo looked around the entire office, "The company's structure and operation will not be affected in any way." As long as the company's personnel are willing to stay, their positions will not be changed. ”

This can be confirmed by everyone after the meeting from the project manager Zhang Hao and the chief planner Yuan Shuai. ”

At this time, it is natural for Zhang Hao and Yuan Shuai to come out and say the ......

"What Mr. Li said just now is true, you can come to me later. But...... Remember to line up first. Zhang Hao stood up and said a cold joke that was not big or small, which also caused a burst of laughter below.

Compared with Yuan Shuai, Zhang Hao is responsible for the integration of the entire project after all, and the people in the program and art department are also more familiar with him, which also makes everyone's uncertainty and worry about the future a lot less.

At the very least, you won't lose your job because the company goes out of business.

In a place like the magic capital, it is not too difficult to find a job for technical jobs such as art and programming, but what if there are unforeseen circumstances in a day?

Rent, loans, accommodation, transportation, all sorts of messy problems will follow.

In fact, there is not much substance for the employees in the upper-level transaction such as the change of ownership of the company, who is working for is not a part-time job? Except for the three founders, the others have no equity.

As long as the new boss doesn't toss around whimsically, love whoever you want.

This situation is actually related to the fact that Wang Xinwen does not have many die-hard loyalists and descendants in the company.

Although he has a high status in the company, most of the things he deals with directly with front-line employees are handled by Zhang Hao and Yuan Shuai, and Wang Xinwen is more like a mascot in the minds of ordinary employees......

Even if there is any secret lineage, it is estimated that it will be lost with Wang Xinwen's silent departure......

After easing the atmosphere a little, Li Mo continued to introduce his future plans for the company, "All employees who are willing to stay in the company will have their salaries increased by 10% on the original basis. As an incentive mechanism, if you can complete the design and production of all the content of the game within three months, and finally go live, I can assure you that everyone will be paid double salary in the month of launch, and a part of it will be used as a project bonus according to the operating income after the launch. ”

"Yay!"

There was a round of applause and cheers in the office.

After settling down the ordinary employees, Li Mo did not leave in a hurry, but asked Zhang Hao to provide him with a trial version of the current game, and personally experienced the game content for an hour.

After experiencing the game content, Li Mo called Zhang Hao and Yuan Shuai and entered the conference room to continue the meeting.

After the trial just now, Li Mo found that the game that Lilith Technology is developing now is still a big gap from the "Dota Legend" in his memory in his previous life.

This gap is not compared with the version before Li Mo's crossing, but compared with the original time and space when it was first listed.

The biggest difference between the game "Dota Legend" and the previous card games is that it is the first game that requires players to manually click to release card skills, in addition, the game's hero Q Meng's painting style, the balance of values during combat are also its selling points.

The average domestic game has a short life cycle of only one or two months, and a slightly longer one and a half years.

The life cycle mentioned here does not mean that players leave because they can't experience new content in the game, but more because players can't find enough fun in the game, so they choose to leave.

For a game company, it is easy to constantly produce new content, it is nothing more than a matter of workload, but how to make players continue to find fun in the game and stay for a long time is the key to the long-term existence of a game.

The current "Dota Legends" has really achieved only the first point, the innovation of gameplay.

Not to mention the art style, Q Meng, they are still using the normal scale reduction method now......

Looking at the stickmen one by one, he couldn't see his face clearly, he couldn't distinguish the outline, and even the men and women were blurry, and Li Mo's whole person was not good.

Speaking of numerical balance, Li Mo is completely in the way of a normal player, just played for less than an hour, there will be a situation where one hero equalizes the other three heroes, what kind of trouble is this......

These issues must be addressed.

What Li Mo didn't expect was that when he raised these questions, Zhang Hao and Yuan Shuai agreed to this, and by the way, they also proposed solutions.

After listening to their plan, Li Mo once again sincerely thanked the luck of this world for allowing Lilith Technology to appear in front of him at the right time.

Zhang Hao and Yuan Shuai did discover these problems very early, and they also reported to Wang Xinwen, but they were blocked by the other party.

For example, in terms of art, what should I do if the existing art style cannot be used?

Change.

It costs money to change art, and it costs a lot of money to ask for delivery in a short period of time.

Lilith Tech couldn't even pay the rent before, so how could there be any money for these things?

Let's talk about numerical balance.

The three major modules of game planning, numerical values, copywriting, system, Yuan Shuai has a deep knowledge in system design, he can solve this problem, "Dota Legend" is a game like DOTA, and the copywriting omits the most complex and troublesome part of the world view setting, Zhang Hao takes care of it a little, and the problem is not big.

It's all about numbers, and this is the advanced creature in the planning industry, especially in a game like Dota Legends, which requires a strict balance of values.

Zhang Hao once contacted a senior brother who worked in Wangyi Games, and he was willing to jump ship, but the salary was a bit high......

It's normal to say, Wangyi Games is famous enough, and it's also a seniority to say it, a small company like Lilith Technology and Wangyi Games naturally can't be compared, if it's not that your salary is high enough, why do people come to your small temple?

As a result, Wang Xinwen was shelved on the grounds that the company's salary space could not afford it.

At the end of the day, it's just one word: money.

After really taking over Lilith Technology, Li Mo understood the dilemma Wang Xinwen was facing before.

If you don't have money, you can't improve it even if you know that there is a problem, you can't make a good product if you can't improve, and if you don't have a good product, you can't make investment......

There is no worse than this in the so-called vicious circle......

But fortunately, at least the problems he faced were not a problem with Li Mo.

Lilith Technology still needs Li Mo's continuous blood transfusion at least in the months before the product is launched, but Li Mo made it clear to Zhang Hao from the beginning that it is absolutely impossible for him to continue to fill the hole with money.

From beginning to end, he bought Lilith Technology for only one purpose, to make money.

After Zhang Hao and Yuan Shuai's estimates, within 4 months, Li Mo needs to invest at least 3 million yuan in total, and the company can solve all the problems just now.

"Add to that the cost of buying the rights from the Dota copyright holders. After listening to the budget of the two, Li Mo suddenly remembered this question.

"Copyright?" the two of them looked embarrassed, "Director Li, a game like this generally doesn't buy copyright." We...... Isn't it a bit ......?"

"No, the purchase of copyrights must be on the company's agenda, and this matter is non-negotiable. Moreover, in addition to the R&D team, the company must also set up a distribution team as soon as possible. ”

In the previous life, Lilith Technology encountered many obstacles when it was distributed abroad because it did not purchase the image copyright from the DOTA copyright owner.

Even because of the injunction at one time, "Dota Legends" could not be launched in some overseas countries.

As for the reason for forming a publishing team, it's even simpler.

In the process of game distribution, the ratio of general distribution channels and R&D teams is 7:3, and Lilith Technology did not have its own publishing team in its previous life, resulting in a large amount of income going into the publisher's pocket out of thin air.

With the memories of his past life, it is impossible for Li Mo to make mistakes in any place that will affect his future income.
