Chapter 8: International Behemoths
"Why did Shao Qiang come to our group?" Zhao Chuanzhi frowned: "He is willing to be a member of the group?"
The steel braces girl Bai Lu said angrily: "What team member, he is the operation manager who came from the airborne, and with him, there is also Sheng Fang, the personnel and legal manager." ”
Zhao Chuanzhi's face suddenly sank.
"I'm the project manager, and I was the airborne operations manager and the personnel and legal manager, but I didn't even tell me? What is this for?"
"I'm going to Minister Liu's. Zhao Chuanzhi was unhappy, and the company was too inauthentic to do things. Directly arrange people in his project team, where to put him, the project manager?
Project Department.
"Manager Zhao, you're here!" Secretary Jiang saw Zhao Chuanzhi, his eyes lit up, and he quietly straightened his chest.
Zhao Chuanzhi didn't see it, and he was in a bad mood: "Secretary Jiang, is Minister Liu here?"
"Yes, I'll tell you. Secretary Jiang was resentful in his heart, made a phone call, and said, "Minister Liu, please come in." ”
As soon as he pushed the door in, Zhao Chuanzhi said, "Minister Liu, what's going on with Shao Qiang and Sheng Fang?"
Liu Yang got up and said comfortingly: "Xiao Zhao, do it quickly, eat tea." ”
Seeing Liu Yang pour the tea in person, Zhao Chuanzhi didn't do too much, so he sat down.
Liu Yang said with a smile: "I knew that you were going to come to me, this time I arranged people in your group, and I didn't inform you, it was indeed the company that did something wrong." The positions of the operation manager and personnel legal affairs were directly arranged from above, and I can't stop it, I'm really sorry for Xiao Zhao, but my brother dares to assure you that your Dota group is absolutely fair! These two people won't hold you back!"
Liu Yang's chest thumped.
The other party said that he would do this, and Zhao Chuanzhi couldn't say anything more, and said: "Minister Liu, my ugly words are put in front, if Shao Qiang doesn't cooperate with me and deliberately backfires, I won't give up." ”
"Don't worry, you can do whatever you want to do then, I fully support you!
"Okay. Zhao Chuanzhi looked at Liu Yang's solemnity, and also gave the other party a face.
Back in the group, Zhao Chuanzhi immediately felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Many beauties in the group, who used to be chattering, talking and laughing, are all quiet today, quietly taking their eyes and looking in a certain direction of the office.
Zhao Chuanzhi followed everyone's gaze and saw Shao Qiang and Sheng Fang muttering something in the corner.
When these two people saw Zhao Chuanzhi coming in, they didn't even say hello, they left the office directly and went outside to talk.
"Ignore them, everybody get on with your work. Xu Xiaoxiao, I still have a few updates to the map, and the number of characters continues to increase. ”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly returned to its original state and relaxed. Xu Xiaoxiao said secretly: "Brother Zhao is still comfortable here, and he is the best group I have ever been in, but don't do anything to ruin this feeling." ”
The next day, the project department had a regular meeting in the morning.
Liu Yang first announced the latest personnel transfers, Shao Qiang and Sheng Fang, joined the Dota group, which really surprised everyone.
"Each project team, if there are any difficulties recently, they will mention it. ”
Before the others could say anything, Shao Qiang suddenly stood up.
Zhao Chuanzhi's brows jumped, and a bad premonition flashed in his heart.
"Minister Liu, Manager Sheng Fang and I have a common idea about the Dota project. ”
"Oh?" Liu Yang glanced at Zhao Chuanzhi, "What thoughts, does Xiao Zhao know?
Generally, when speaking at regular meetings, it is the project manager who speaks, and Shao Qiang bypasses Zhao Chuanzhi and speaks directly, which is already a bit overstepping.
Zhao Chuanzhi shook his head expressionlessly: "I don't know." ”
Liu Yang's brows furrowed slightly, but thinking of Shao Qiang's background, he still said, "What do you think, let's hear about it?"
Shao Qiang said: "I have retrieved the Dota operation data in recent days, and analyzed that the current Dota project has the conditions for monetization. For example, every time you buy items such as Battle Axe, Red Staff, and Jumping Knife, in addition to paying for in-game gold, you have to pay an additional 1 RMB, and to unlock a new character, you also need 20-100 RMB to unlock. ”
"Bang!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Chuanzhi slapped the table, stood up and said: "Charge a fart fee! Dota, a fair competition game, must be free! Shao Qiang, have your proposals been approved by me, the project manager?
Shao Qiang sneered: "Free? Zhao Chuanzhi, the company is opened for you? The company wants to operate, and you have to pay wages to so many people, how much money have you wasted on the company if you say it is free? Is the company a charity or a wealth distribution organization?"
Zhao Chuanzhi said angrily: "Your old routines will definitely ruin the competitive game of DOTA." The essence of this game is fair play. As for the profit point, you can think of other ways. ”
"Alright. Liu Yang stopped the quarrel: "I will consider this carefully, put it aside for the time being, and talk about it later." ”
At this time, Sheng Fang stood up and said, "Minister Liu Yang, I have one more thing to report. ”
Liu Yang frowned, a little unhappy in his heart, knowing that Sheng Fang was Shao Qiang's person, wearing a pair of pants.
Sheng Fang said: "Warcraft III is developed by Blizzard, and the game Dota is based on the map of Warcraft III, so we still have to rely on Blizzard's snort." As a legal manager, I've reached a consensus with the person in charge of Blizzard. In terms of blizzards, I also noticed the fat of Dota at the first time when Dota became popular. ”
When Liu Yang heard that an international company like Blizzard could only suppress his anger.
"If we are willing to cooperate, I will talk to Blizzard about the legal terms and the distribution of benefits. If we don't cooperate with Blizzard, Blizzard will not recommend Dota again, and require many domestic cooperative map sites to be taken off the shelves, and when the time comes, new players will not be able to search, and their popularity will plummet, which no one can afford. ”
The room fell silent.
Blizzard is an international behemoth, and a small domestic game company like Zhong Ke can't afford to provoke it at all. Sheng Fang is right, a blizzard can make Dota completely impossible to appear in front of new players with a touch of a finger.
Liu Yang was confused, and finally looked at Zhao Chuanzhi: "Xiao Zhao, what do you think?"
Zhao Chuanzhi said: "I still don't agree to the charge, as for the promotion of the game, I may have other solutions." ”
Shao Qiang sneered: "What, you have a map based on Warcraft III, and you can still put aside the blizzard and jump out alone?" I advise you to let go as soon as possible, Zhao Chuanzhi, cooperating with Blizzard is the trend of the times, and being able to hug Blizzard's thigh is also a good thing for our company, and the company's senior management will definitely support me." ”
Zhao Chuanzhi was irritable in his heart, which was what he was most worried about. I'm afraid that the top management will also support this decision. It seems that we have to let the battle platform come out quickly.
