Chapter 563: Only when there is competition will there be motivation

Seeing that Cui Xiong was ready to record, Zhang Siyuan said with a smile: "I suggest that when you develop the next game, you can develop in the direction of casual competition." ”

"Boss, what is casual competition?" asked Cui Xiong.

Zhang Siyuan glanced at Cui Xiong, but he didn't expect Cui Xiong to look honest, and he didn't leak when he patted his ass. Zhang Siyuan didn't believe that Cui Xiong would not even be able to understand casual competition, so that Zhang Siyuan could find a sense of existence and show his erudition.

However, Zhang Siyuan is not disgusted with this kind of thing, after all, who is not happy to be slapped by others. As long as it's not the kind of sycophant way that is too disgusting, Zhang Siyuan thinks it's okay.

Zhang Siyuan cleared his throat and said: "Casual competition, as the name suggests, is a combination of casual games and competitive games. If you want to upgrade a game like QQ Legend that will be upgraded dozens of levels at every turn, and you need to waste a lot of time on upgrades, you can develop a casual game. Add some competitive elements to it, and then it's a casual competitive game. ”

"BOSS, I don't understand, what are the aspects of the so-called competition?" Cui Xiong suddenly reverted to the name he had given to Zhang Siyuan when he had just arrived at Times Technology.

After living in Shanghai for almost a year, Cui Xiong's Chinese has almost learned. After all, the country of sticks is not far from China, and the culture of the country of sticks is also passed down in China, so Cui Xiong learns Chinese very quickly. If you don't want to be fast, there is no way, who let them set up a boss who has to learn to speak Chinese if the employees of the company have to learn Chinese, if you want to survive in the company, you must learn Chinese.

Zhang Siyuan said with a smile: "Since it is called casual competition, it must not be the kind of game that fights and kills." And if you want to add a competitive element, then there are not many options. At the very least, it had to be multiplayer, it had to be fun, not too simple. ”

"You know about racing, right? Let's use racing as an example, we can develop a racing game where you can have several people in a game. Then design a variety of maps in the game for players to challenge. This has both competitive elements, but it is not like many games that fight and kill. After all, not everyone in this world likes to play and kill games. ”

Cui Xiong, who had already entered the state at this time, asked rhetorically: "But, BOSS." Online games are still dominated by male players, and games like this that can't reflect manhood and mobilize men's enthusiasm will really be played?"

Zhang Siyuan showed an inexplicable smile: "Cui Xiong, tell me, what is a man's favorite thing?"

"What do men like the most? power?

"Women! A man's favorite thing is a woman!" Before Cui Xiong finished speaking, Zhang Siyuan interrupted Cui Xiong's words: "In this world, there is no man who can not like women, except for the kind of problematic ones. ”

"Huh. Cui Xiong smiled and did not refute Zhang Siyuan.

Zhang Siyuan continued: "The reason why I let you do casual competition is because the first target audience of this kind of game is girls. Remember, it's girls. Because girls rarely like the kind of fighting and killing, this kind of casual game that can pass the time is the most suitable. But why add a competitive element?"

"Because the people who have access to online games are at least teenagers. Boys at that age are most interested in the opposite sex. When they know that the girl they like is playing a game, if they want to get close to the girl, they will start with the girl's favorite aspect. ”

"If you are a man, you will have a strong desire to be expressive, and you want to play a game with the girl you like, and then win the first place. Doesn't you look like you're very powerful, and can you instantly become taller in a girl's way?"

"And then there's the jealousy of girls. Anyone your age should know how scary it can be when a girl is jealous of someone else. Think about it, when a girl can't play a competitive game all the time, will she be jealous of why others can play so well, and will she think that she has to practice so well......

"But, boss. If the player is hit too hard, he may give up the game. This is a common problem with competitive games, and it is easy for people with poor skills to give up on the game. This time it was Cui Xiong's turn to interrupt Zhang Siyuan's words.

Cui Xiong was completely fascinated by this moment, what Zhang Siyuan just said was something he had never thought of. According to Zhang Siyuan's analysis, Cui Xiong feels that this kind of game is really marketable.

Zhang Siyuan shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Then give her a reason not to give up, of course, this is a later story." I still have to make the game framework first, and I'll give you some suggestions later. That's all I can tell you about this type of game for the time being. You make a framework and show it to me, and if you can, I'll continue to tell you, and if it doesn't work, I'll let other departments do it. ”

Hearing Zhang Siyuan say this, Cui Xiong hurriedly said: "BOSS, don't worry, our department will definitely make a good game with all your heart." When I get back, I'll hold a meeting and try to get the initial framework of the game out as soon as possible. ”

Because Zhang Siyuan's analysis feels that this kind of game is very marketable, Cui Xiong doesn't want to be compared by others. He also knows that an online game will eventually have an end of life, and he has been thinking about what game to do next.

Continuing to make legendary games, Cui Xiong feels that there are too many on the market. First of all, not to mention technology, just talking about the game background or something, Cui Xiong can't guarantee that he can have better ideas than others. But rashly transforming, that's even more bad, it's better to change the soup instead of the medicine, change the name and background, and set it according to the legend.

At this time, Zhang Siyuan gave him a research and development direction with unlimited potential, and of course he didn't want to give up. Yes, for Zhang Siyuan's things that he came up with in his head that he didn't know what to make of, no one in Times Technology would think that Zhang Siyuan's idea would be problematic. From joining Times Technology, all programmers know that the software they write is basically all thought up by Zhang Siyuan alone.

They are just like robots, as long as they do what Zhang Siyuan asks, they don't need to think too much about it at all. This is unimaginable in other companies, which will only ask the following programmers to think of ideas and do research and development. Their feeling at Times Technology is that as long as people who can program come to Times Technology, they can basically do their jobs.

Of course, they don't think about it. After all, Times Technology has rules, if anyone comes up with something that is practical and useful, they can get a lot of bonuses. It's just that basically what they can come up with that is of great benefit to the software is not as good as what Zhang Siyuan came up with.

Therefore, for the programmers of Times Technology, there will be absolutely no mistakes in any ideas put forward by Zhang Siyuan. If it did not achieve the expected effect, it is a pity that it did not, since the release of QQ, every bit of thought put forward by Zhang Siyuan has made QQ users rise sharply, and it is only now that it firmly occupies the first place in the domestic instant messaging market.

Zhang Siyuan waved his hand and said to Cui Xiong: "You go and get busy, I believe that your QQ Legend Department will satisfy me." ”

In the end, Zhang Siyuan did not forget to encourage Cui Xiong. Regarding what he just said to Cui Xiong that if what they made could not satisfy him, they would hand it over to someone else to do, Zhang Siyuan was not joking.

If you want to keep an enterprise running well, then let employees have enough motivation at any time is the king. Zhang Siyuan didn't want his programmers to feel comfortable, as long as he came up with ideas for them to code. Zhang Siyuan wants people who can make good things, not people who only know how to do things according to his instructions.

Looking for Cui Xiong to talk about this matter, it's just because the game department of Times Technology currently has two departments. A QQ Legend Department, a Xishanju Department. Relatively speaking, Zhang Siyuan still likes Cui Xiong a little. Otherwise, he will directly ask the two departments to make the framework together, and then decide who to do it after the framework is made.

This is not because Zhang Siyuan is eccentric, but because the people of Xishanju have done a lot of things that Zhang Siyuan does not like in Times Technology before. If you didn't really appreciate the group of people in Xishanju, the people in Xishanju would have been changed by Zhang Siyuan last time.

This time, Cui Xiong came over directly, and Zhang Siyuan just wanted the people in Xishanju to know. They have not reached the point where the technology of the times has to ask them, and the technology of the times can completely eliminate them from making other games that detonate the market.

Zhang Siyuan didn't care at all about whether Cui Xiong and the group of people under Cui Xiong could make a satisfactory framework. Because this kind of game is honestly not as complex as QQ Legend and some other settings, as long as you think about it, it won't be too much of a problem at all.

After all, the core thing Zhang Siyuan has already told Cui Xiong that if Cui Xiong can't make a framework that can satisfy him, then Cui Xiong and they really don't need to be responsible for the development of the new game.

After Cui Xiong went out, Zhang Siyuan picked up the phone on the table and dialed Ying Hao's extension: "Mr. Ying, you come to me." ”

Corresponding to Hao, Zhang Siyuan is ready to talk to him again. As the director of the game department, it stands to reason that Zhang Siyuan should not skip him and go directly to Cui Xiong, but Ying Hao's performance before made Zhang Siyuan very disappointed. Zhang Siyuan felt that he had given him too much time, if Ying Hao could not be satisfied with this conversation, then in Zhang Siyuan's heart, there was no need for Ying Hao to stay in Times Technology and waste time.

PS: There will be an update tomorrow.
