"Lin Dong, this is the online headcount report of "Plants vs. Zombies". Wu Zhaopu stopped talking and handed Lin Feng a stack of documents.

During this time, Lin Feng adopted Liu Yingying's opinion and redistributed the shares of "Second Shijie".

Wu Zhaopu as the CEO of the "second shijie" obtained 5% of the shares of the "second shijie", Cui Ming, as the chief planner of "Legend", also obtained 5% of the shares, Wang Meng, as the head of the company's security department, was not eligible to get shares, but Lin Feng was grateful to Wang Meng for his dedication to the company, and secondly, he also had a good impression of these soldiers with a sense of justice and enthusiasm, and hoped that these soldiers could have a good home after dedicating themselves to the country. And Wang Meng is also an extremely old-fashioned and warm-hearted person, and I believe that most of the year-end dividends that Lin Feng gave him will be used on these soldiers. Therefore, Wang Meng was also given 3% of the shares, plus Liu Yingying's original 10% shares, and the "second shijie" also became a joint-stock company with many shares.

Although Lin Feng's assets have shrunk slightly, as Liu Yingying said, if a company wants to become bigger and stronger and become a global multinational company, it must let its important employees have a sense of belonging and let them regard the company as their home, so that they can work together to fight and be loyal to the company. The shares of the distribution company are undoubtedly the most haode method, and it is also the most popular way. Most foreign holding companies will give share awards to the company's key outstanding employees to retain these employees for the company to continue to work for the company for a long time.

Although the shares have been redistributed, Lin Feng still owns 77% of the shares of the "second shijie" and has the absolute right to speak in the company.

Lin Feng glanced at the data report in his hand a few times, and was extremely satisfied with the number of people online in "Plants vs. Zombies" during this time. With the increase of players entering the third level, the new level and new challenges have made players addicted, and Lin Feng has provided a pause function and "boss key" for this, which has also made "Plants vs. Zombies" popular in the office, and has overwhelmed "Lianliankan" and become a must-play game for "white-collar workers" during office hours.

"What's the matter, if you have something to say, just say it. Lin Feng saw that Wu Zhaopu was a little restless, and knew that something must be wrong with him.

"Uh, this, this" Wu Zhaopu naturally had something to say, but Lin Feng has always been a man of his own voice in the company, although these high-level executives also have a certain amount of right to speak, but they have never clashed with Lin Feng. Wu Zhaopu doesn't know if his following words will offend Lin Feng, now the company is developing steadily and thriving, Wu Zhaopu is unwilling to contradict Lin Feng, which leads to drastic changes in the company and affects development.

Wu Zhaopu gritted his teeth and still said the doubts in his heart.

"Mr. Lin, although "Plants vs. Zombies" was a great success and has been firmly in the first place in domestic online games in a short period of time, the profits are too low. The monthly fee of 10 yuan per person per month is too low compared to the servers and employees we pay, and there are a series of other expenses compared to teaching. Wu Zhaopu said the words in his heart.

"But that's not the point. The point is that its impact on Legends has greatly exceeded our estimates, and during this time, the online rate of Legends has been less than half of what it used to be, with an average of less than 200,000 online users, and it continues to decline. Wu Zhaopu's face became serious, the impact of this "Plants vs. Zombies" on other types of online games is too great, and it has exceeded everyone's expectations.

Lin Feng looked at the data report of "Legend", and he also had a headache, he didn't expect that "Plants vs. Zombies" would have such a big impact. In particular, the nine-level system launched directly divides players into different levels, allowing players to compete and compare with each other, which directly leads to the loss of a large number of "Legendary" players and turns into the game Shijie of "Plants vs. Zombies".

At first, "Legend" players just went to the game for leisure and entertainment, and by the way to earn a free "Legend" point card, but after playing, they were completely addicted to it and couldn't extricate themselves. Equipment, guilds, and enemies are all behind them, and all players have only one goal in mind: to pass the damn 100 rounds and open the next level.

After the next level is opened, the new way of playing, the new map, and the same thing is still the hateful 100 rounds. And stick to 100 rounds to move on to the next level.

But the beginning of the "Plants vs. Zombies" level is very simple, very relaxed, and very leisurely, but it becomes more and more difficult in the end, and 100 rounds are by no means so easy to pass. And after failing to challenge again and again, the resentment in the player's heart is even worse, and he hopes to break through the 100 rounds and enter the next level.

After breaking through 100 rounds, it will be a new level, and a new 100 rounds of challenges, which will never end, and the cycle will continue to be repeated. Unless you can beat the nine levels.

The most important reason why players can hate and love is that 100 rounds is just right. That is, let the player see the hope of passing the level, but this hope is not so easy to achieve. If you want to give up, but you can see that your friends around you are persistent, or you have entered the next level, who is willing to give up, how can you give up.

Persevere, persevere, continue to persevere.

This is also the reason why "Plants vs. Zombies" is so popular, and it has directly harmed all other types of online games. Before this wave of "Plants vs. Zombies" tower defense type online games has passed, I am afraid that all other types of online games will be harmed.

Lin Feng looked at the online games of other companies, except for the tower defense casual games of the same type, which were very popular, they were all seriously affected, and some of them were almost suspended. Let a lot of online game companies really love and hate this tower game, and have mixed feelings.

"Then what do you suggest?" Lin Feng asked.

"I suggest that, like other online game companies, Plants vs. Zombies be secretly operated as a quasi-stand-alone machine, so as to reduce the server load and reduce costs. When the player clears the level or fails, the game will contact the host internally to upload the record. Wu Zhaopu's suggestion is also an emergency plan that many online game companies have come up with in response to this hot round of "Plants vs. Zombies" fever.

This workaround can really greatly reduce the load on the server of the game, which can greatly reduce the cost of operating the company. It can even be said that a private person can rent a network bandwidth and buy a few servers to operate. However, this scheme also has an Achilles' heel.

"No! That way, the game will be messed up. Lin Feng refused without hesitation.

"Weishenme?" Wu Zhaopu was afraid of this. Because Lin Feng has been in the company to launch a variety of measures have been very successful, but also for the company to bring a good return on profits. Wu Zhaopu was afraid that because of this, Lin Feng would have absolute confidence and pride, and he would not listen to people's words, which was absolutely detrimental to the development of the company.

"Although our company relies on the profits of "Legend" and has a lot of money as a backing, even if it is now greatly affected by "Plants vs. Zombies" and its popularity continues to be sluggish, the monthly profit of "Legend" is also 100 million yuan. But wouldn't it be great to be able to reduce a little burden for the company? Almost all online game companies do this, why should our company be unique and do the opposite!" Wu Zhaopu also let himself out today, he didn't want Lin Feng to fall into the realm of pride and arrogance from now on.

The future of the company is bright, and Lin Feng is likely to become the youngest richest person in the world in the future, and he doesn't want Lin Feng to fall here.

Speaking from the heart, if Lin Feng was not a reborn person, he would definitely be extremely satisfied with Wu Zhaopu's suggestion, which now seems to be the most reasonable and correct choice. It's a pity that Lin Feng is a reborn person, and he was once a crazy online game enthusiast, so he understands the mentality of players.

Online gamers are loyal, but they are also the most prone to rebellion. Their loyalty and passion for an online game can last for years or even a lifetime. But it is also possible to defect in an instant, an accidental little thing, and then completely resist the game, or even the game operator.

And the most intolerable thing for online game players is the fraud of online game operators. In particular, secretly modifying the parameters of online games and modifying data behind the back of players is the most unacceptable thing for players, and it is also the easiest to break the hearts of players.

The suggestion put forward by Wu Zhaopu is also the most "rational" choice of many online game companies at present, but it deceives all players, and it will involve a very serious problem, which is enough to make the entire game system collapse.

Lin Feng tapped his fingers on the table, looking at Wu Zhaopu who looked like a loyal minister who was "risking death to admonish", although Lin Feng wanted to laugh in his heart, but it inevitably hurt Wu Zhaopu's "loyalty" and self-esteem, and he couldn't hold back the smile in his heart with a serious face.

"Do you think Plants vs. Zombies is an online game or a stand-alone game?" Lin Feng asked without answering. Sometimes some questions cannot be explained clearly, so it is better to change your skills and ask questions to let the other party find the answer from their own answers.

"Of course it's an online game, if it's a stand-alone game, who will spend 10 yuan a month" Wu Zhaopu immediately replied, but he was generally stunned when he said it, and he suddenly had an epiphany in his heart.

"However, the game could have been operated independently of the console, so there was nothing wrong with us modifying it like this. Although Wu Zhaopu was still explaining, he also felt weak.

"What would players think if they found a game that could have been operated on a single machine, but forced them to spend money to play it? Especially if the operator secretly changed it to a quasi-single-player game behind the player's back, so that it could run away from the network, and only needed to log in to the host to upload records, what would the player think?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"This and this" Wu Zhaopu broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, if this is really the case, I am afraid that the player will "riot" because of this. Although they will not really go to the online game company to make trouble, at least in the hearts of players, the image and status of the online game operator will plummet.

"But even if we don't do it, and all the online game companies in the industry do it, we will inevitably be implicated, and players won't believe us. The more Wu Zhaopu thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. This is the case for many online game companies now, but players have not yet discovered it. Once the player finally finds out that under the riot, the "second shijie" must be the spearhead, and it must be the company that is most questioned and slandered by the player.

"So we have to take precautions!" Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly.

These damn online game companies, this time, clearly want to completely muddy up the market. -- Lin Feng scolded hatefully.
