Chapter 249: Bundling Strategy
Although Lu You and others have not served as the leader of a team due to various objective reasons, this does not prevent them from understanding human nature and human hearts.
Under the circumstance that Penguin Games has made it clear that it will not continue to bear the investment of Wolong Studio, if Lu You and others, as one of the few people in the know, still hide the current situation, it will only make the already panicked company fall apart even more......
And Lu You and the others are also very clear that the reason why there has not been a large-scale commotion among their team members now, although part of it is due to the team cohesion formed by everyone working together for more than a year, but more part is the instinctive huddle emotion of human beings after the sudden change.
Although Shudu has been trying to build Tianfu Software Park into a high-tech, software and hardware R&D and manufacturing center in the western part of the Celestial Empire in recent years, compared with the old developed areas of the imperial capital, magic capital, Yangcheng and Pengcheng, Shudu is in a backward position in terms of the number of companies, scale and technical depth.
Although Wolong Studio is nominally called a studio, its scale can already be compared with a medium-sized game development company in Shudu.
Now, because of the withdrawal of Penguin Games, with the ability of Shu City, it is basically ...... to digest so many jobs in a short period of time Hard.
Therefore, for the grassroots employees of Wolong Studio, since it is already late October, instead of rushing into the talent market and getting a salary that may be much lower than the existing position, it is better to follow the current team for the time being, and maybe they can form a group to get a job with the same treatment as the existing one......
Even if it doesn't work, it will be delayed for about ten days at most......
Therefore, for the three of Lu You, if they want to sell the entire team at a good price before the new investment, the first element is not how to flaunt their ability, but first to ensure that they are indeed a 'team'......
In less than 24 hours, Lu You called Liu Jie and Sui Xing into the conference room with an irrepressible expression of excitement.
"Liu Jie, Sui Xing, how is the current situation within the team?"
As the eldest of the three, Lu You now has a faint meaning of 'backbone', and because of this, he attaches great importance to whether he can continue to maintain the stability of the team at present.
"When I first heard that Penguin Games was going to withdraw its investment yesterday, everyone's mood was really unstable," Liu Jie, who had a baby face, spoke first, "but when I released the news that I was looking for new investors, everyone's mood was much better." ”
"The situation is similar on our art side," Sui Xing took over the topic and continued, "but I can still feel that everyone can only ...... what we say It is doubtful to say that it will be believed. ”
"Well, that's normal," Lu You nodded, the current situation was basically as he expected, "I've already spoken on the phone with Zhang Hao of Lilith Technology, and he is willing to match up and recommend our team to a company called Molong Media......"
Before Liu Jie and Sui Xing could show their joy, Lu You raised his hand and motioned for the two of them to listen to their words, "Although Zhang Hao didn't say it explicitly, I can obviously feel that Molong Media attaches great importance to whether it can take over a team completely." ”
"Well, I see what you mean. "Liu Jie is the main planner of the game, and his overall view is also the strongest among the three," Lilith Technology ...... Well, or rather Molong Media, their goal isn't to get a strong department to complement the existing team at Lilith Technology......"
What he wanted was a new team that had nothing to do with Dota Legends, which Lilith Tech was currently operating, and who wanted to forge a new path beyond the existing field. ”
"What?" After listening to Liu Jie's analysis, Sui Xing was so surprised that he shouted directly, "Since they already have a game as successful as "Dota Legend", they don't have to worry about revenue pressure at all for at least the next year, but they plan to form a new team so soon......
"This ...... This...... It's simply ...... It's just ......."
Sui Xing was stunned by the conclusion he had reached, and he couldn't continue for a long time.
"Isn't that great?" Although Lu You was also surprised by this conclusion, he was older and had experienced relatively more things, so he quickly found a favorable side for his side.
"If our team is separated, then the overall value of just a single person working on certain aspects of production will be greatly reduced, but if we have three teams together, we are fully capable of making a complete game system. ”
"Brother Lu said a lot," Soon, Liu Jie also grasped the subtext of Lu You, "Our next goal is to appease the people of the team under us and ensure the integrity of the team as much as possible." The more complete the team, the better the conditions we can get. ”
"It's just a pity that the research and development results we have worked hard for more than a year have all been taken away by Penguin Games. "Sui Xing couldn't help but bleed from his heart when he thought of his hard work for more than a year, although those things were theoretically the property of Penguin Game, but this did not prevent Sui Xing from seeing those things as her own 'children'. "If we can continue to deepen on the basis of those things, we will be able to come up with the first online version in less than half a year at most. ”
"You're right," talking about this topic, Liu Jie's face was also gloomy.
Although theoretically speaking, as long as the game plan is still there, it is completely possible to rewrite a new copy, but the energy spent in it cannot be made up, not to mention that in the current data, there is also a large part of the estimate of the future iteration version, which is not something that can be figured out with a little time.
"Perhaps...... It's not impossible. ”
Lu You touched his chin and thought for a while before continuing, "I have probed some words from Zeng Lun, Penguin Games plans to focus on the same type of card game in the Q version of the cute style in order to fight against "Dota Legend", our R&D content, in fact, Wang Bo has the right to dispose of the old land, if we can negotiate a new investor, maybe we can make a suggestion, let them consider buying our R&D results from Penguin Games......"
"Brother Lu, this estimate is very difficult," Liu Jie interrupted Lu You with a wry smile, "I once calculated that Penguin Games has invested more than 10 million yuan in our Wolong studio for more than a year, and if it is transferred, it must at least double this amount to make Wang Bo ...... relieved."
"Taking in so many of us and keeping the studio running is a big expense. Then I would like to suggest that they spend tens of millions of dollars to buy our R&D results......"
Sui Xing didn't seem to be very optimistic about Lu You's suggestion.
The disapproval of the two companions around him also hit Lu You's self-confidence a little, he let out a long breath and said, "It's up to people." If you have any questions, I'll wait until I go to meet the assistant to the president of Molong Media first. ”
"Assistant to the President?"
"Yes, I heard that he is the henchman of the boss of Molong Media, and it seems to be called Feng Wen......"
