Chapter 747: Dreams

Speaking of dreams, Hong Tao's real dream is not to be the world's first kill in the game, and then the first kill is someone else's game, and he is just a participant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He wants to be a creator the most, because he always believes that a person can only create something new that is most beneficial to mankind, so he wants to make a new game himself.

This idea has been around for a few years, and it has not faded to this day. It's just that this dream is more complicated to realize, and the difficulty is much higher than getting the world's first kill, and it can't be completed yet.

But Hong Tao is not idle, although he nominally basically withdrew from the mantis shrimp company and became a pure company shareholder, there is a department that is basically independent of the company, it is the game development department led by the little fat man Wang Li.

In the words of the little fat man, no one in the whole company understands her, only Hong Tao can rely on. So no one can lead her, and the company's rules can be followed, but don't expect her to do other work.

Every day, she takes four or five young game architects she recruits to play games, discuss, revise their own game architectures, and report their progress to anyone other than Hong Tao.

In fact, there is no progress, the people she found are all the same virtue as her, in Ouyang Fanfan's words, her mind is full of cranky and unrealistic dreamers and waste, and she wants to run before she learns to walk. If it weren't for Hong Tao's protection, this department and these people would have been driven away by her.

"Don't interfere with the work of this department, as long as they don't disturb the normal operation of the company, let it be that they don't exist. My uncle has bought a hotel to the north, which is now being renovated, and I have already got a separate studio for them in that building, and I will move in by the end of the year, so it will not be in your way. ”

"Actually, it's not nice to say, if there is no department mantis shrimp company there is no need to exist, if you want to make money, I can find out more business than the agent game in minutes, why bother to bother with this effort. ”

"They're not dreaming, they're not wasting money. They are fulfilling a dream for me, whoever dares to stop me will beat him!" "In the face of Ouyang Fanfan's dissatisfaction, Hong Tao was not used to it at all, and he could pretend to be confused and muddy in other things, but this matter was not allowed.

By the way, Hong Tao also wants to warn Ouyang Fanfan, don't think that you are now the second-in-command of the company, and you can still influence Qi Rui's decision. This kind of problem cannot be accustomed, and the person who is in charge must always understand in his mind, don't mess up the priorities.

Not only can it not interfere, but the mantis shrimp company also has to use the little popularity it just has in Europe and the United States to dig up corners for this department all over the world. There is nothing outstanding about the salary, the only thing that can be done is the concept proposed by Hong Tao and the cost he intends to pay.

Create a virtual world that is as close to the real world as possible, so that people all over the world can play the same game!

For this reason, the initial budget he gave was 1 billion yuan, and there was no upper limit! The amount of investment depends on how much money he can earn, and at present it seems that he can only shout the slogan of 1 billion yuan, and any more is a bit out of line.

Whether there are people coming or not, and whether the people who come have real talent and learning, Hong Tao doesn't worry about these questions. Professional things should be left to professional people to do, we just need to point out the direction and pay for it.

Even if all the people come are waste and scammers, this cost will have to be paid. There is no way, people who can understand themselves are basically no different from madmen, fools, and liars in the eyes of the world. People who are not crazy, stupid, or bad are here, don't want it, following the rules can create a fart!

When it comes to the topic of making money, no one dares to disagree with Hong Tao, seeing that World of Warcraft, an online game of pure European and American blood that has not been favored by domestic industry experts, is becoming more and more popular.

Since the day it landed in China, it has been breaking records. By the end of February, the number of people online at the same time had exceeded 700,000, not on a certain day, but on average, and there was not much water.

In fact, this data does not need to be announced by the mantis shrimp company itself, as long as you ask the two companies that underwrite the sales of this game point card, and then go to the statistics of the sales of several websites that recharge online virtual point cards and street convenience stores, newsstands, and commissaries, you can probably calculate how many paying players there are.

At this time, there are still hard-mouthed people, not to say that it is currently the rising period of the game, and when everyone's level is full, sales will drop significantly, because players don't have to level up all day.

This time, there is no need for Hong Tao and the mantis shrimp company to refute it, and someone who understands it has written a special article to analyze this issue. He first analyzed the game modes of World of Warcraft in detail, and then came to the conclusion that leveling up was just the beginning of the game, and the really time-consuming stage was after the full level.

Because this game is not for leveling, many things simply cannot be done until the full level. And it's very team-oriented, where a whole bunch of players have to do one thing at a time.

The person who wrote the article was the reporter who Hong Tao made a bet on at the press conference last year, he lost, and he was convinced to lose, so he took out the bet without urging Hong Tao, and doubled it, and wrote several articles in the magazine where he worked to introduce the details of the game.

Of course, Hong Tao also saw the reprint on the Internet and remembered the reporter. People abide by the rules and speak honestly, so we can't say nothing, this quality should be encouraged.

How can you encourage him? Get him a small courtyard too? Definitely not, he is not his own employee. Since you can't reward him personally, then reward their magazines, and I'll buy your advertising space assembly, right?

Hong Tao doesn't hate the media, he hates those media that have no bottom line, look forward to everything, and are full of nonsense and have no level. As long as you can make your debut, it doesn't matter if you name and scold yourself in the media every day, not only will you not hate you, but you will also secretly give you a thumbs up, admiring that you will scold people and scold people reasonably.

If you don't have a brain, you will hate it every day by calling your father Hong Tao, or even more so because they are misleading others by writing these things, just to make an extra thousand eight hundred yuan a month.

You say that you would rather mislead one generation or several generations for the sake of such a small amount of money, but are such people still human? They are simply a cancer in society. Hong Tao can bear deception and even betrayal, and can follow the gentleman's teaching that it is not too late for ten years to take revenge, but he has no patience for ignorance. In his opinion, liars are much more cute than stupid, the former at least have brains, and the latter are no different from animals.

The operational performance of World of Warcraft not only surprised the domestic media, but also the foreign investors of the mantis shrimp company. Because the stock price of mantis shrimp is rising higher and higher, those who did not buy it and those who bought less are very unhappy.

The most unhappy is Pierce, who said that he and the company's top management were confused by Hong Tao, and should not have signed such a loose contract terms, as long as a little calculation of Mantis Shrimp's operating data for the next five years, you can know how much benefit the company will get from World of Warcraft. It took Blizzard ten years of manpower and material resources to make such a good game, but the fattest piece of meat was taken away by Hong Tao.

But the contract is the law, and it is useless to regret it, at least in the past five years. And Blizzard is not too difficult to accept this result, after all, there is a sharing clause, the more mantis shrimp earns, the more they share, it is much better than handing over to an incapable company to operate. As for how Blizzard will torture Mantis Shrimp when the contract is renewed in five years, then we will talk about it when we get to.

"It must be free, and your sailboat must be free!" But Pierce waited less than five years, and he was embarrassed when he was in a hurry, and he hadn't heard anyone say that Marshall Manor was a big sailing ship parked in the club. The manor is empty, and the sailboat is idle, so let's collect some interest first. He wants to take the whole family on vacation and doesn't want to pay for it yet.
