Chapter Forty-Eight: The Dream Three Musketeers

Xu Bo is a legend in Chinese gaming. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Born in 77, he is two years older than Lin Feng. A native of Wuhan, graduated from junior high school (did not finish technical school), it can be said that he is a typical grassroots.

But Xu Bo is very smart, because he likes games, he went to NetEase to work as a customer service for Dahua 1.

In May 2002, Xu Bo participated in the internal test of "Westward Journey 2" as a customer service staff and wrote more than 30 pages of feedback and improvement suggestions. Although the opinion was not adopted, it came into the eyes of the top management.

In August of that year, Xu Bo applied by himself to become the planner of "Journey to the West 1", which was on the verge of ceasing operation, and it was "Fantasy Journey to the West" that he re-planned on the basis of Journey to the West, which was a great success after it was launched in 2003, becoming a classic game with 310 million registered users, 2.71 million players online, new servers opened every month, and a record of more than 100 million yuan in monthly revenue.

Xu Bo became famous in one fell swoop.

His story is not over, in 2006 he was poached by Jinshan, took the core team of Fantasy Journey to the West, and established Jinshan Duoyi Company to start his own business. It has successively developed classic games such as "Dream World" and "Shenwu".

In the 2016 Forbes China Rich List, Xu Bo ranked 40th with a net worth of $4.2 billion.

Xu Bo can be said to be one of the few development teams in the game world that is still successful on its own.

His continued success in the game field is enough to prove his in-depth research on the game industry and his unique game development philosophy, and the "fair, relaxed, and fun" Xu's style is also widely loved by players and has many die-hard fans.

Such a character, how could Lin Feng be willing to give up!

Taking advantage of the fact that he has just taken over the big talk 1, which is not valued by NetEase, from the point in time when the customer service transformation is planned, poaching him is just an insignificant little person for NetEase and Ding Sanshi, and it should not cause Ding Sanshi's disgust.

.........

Xu Bo was met at a café near NetEase.

Xu Bo was a little puzzled as to how Lin Feng knew about him, but he keenly saw that this was an opportunity and gladly agreed to come.

And when I heard Lin Feng bluntly propose to invite him to join Fengxing and co-create a new game, I was still stunned.

Mr. Lin ,.... Although I am now the planner of Big Talk 1, I have always been a customer service before.... , creating a new game is such an important thing, do you want to believe me?"

Although Xu Bo has always been confident in his talent, and he always has the depression of not being able to meet talents in NetEase, but suddenly a big pie fell from the sky, and he didn't feel nervous again.

Lin Feng nodded: "Of course, I know that you made a lot of very good suggestions in the planning meeting of Big Talk 2, and you have a unique game talent, which I appreciate very much." ”

Lin Feng thought that he didn't have much time to stay in Guangzhou, so when he saw this, he pressed the treasure to his feet, and elaborated:

"You should see the news of Fengxing financing, this financing is for Fengxing Technology to fully enter the online game preparation, my plan is to set up 3 game studios, respectively, by Yao Xiaoguang, Lin Haixiao, you as the studio leader, project manager. Each game studio invests 20 million yuan to develop new games, and the company can adopt a proportional profit sharing model with the team. Of course, you'll need to assemble your own team. ”

Xu Bo's heart jumped violently.

20 million! NetEase developed a big story, and the initial investment was only 300,000 US dollars.

The sharing of the cooperation model shocked his heart, and it was obvious that Lin Feng's move was very lethal to the game industry insiders who thought they had a good level at this stage.

Lin Feng smiled: "My time is tight, I have to rush to Fuzhou tomorrow, Lao Xu, you can think about it, I am waiting for you at any time!"

"Fengxing Technology has just entered the game industry, there is an urgent shortage of talents, I am thirsty for talents, this is also an opportunity, I hope you will consider it. ”

.................

Xu Bo returned to the company in a trance.

Lin Feng's words echoed in his mind like a magic spell.

"I appreciate your unique talent for gaming!"

"You are the person in charge of the game studio, the project manager!"

"20 million R&D expenses!"

"Profit sharing with the R&D team!"

Xu Bo shouted in the deepest part of his heart: "This is an opportunity!

Coming to NetEase for more than half a year, because of the low education, Xu Bo can only start from customer service, he carefully studies the game, makes suggestions, and is not adopted, just self-recommended to get the position of grandma does not love uncle 1 planning, I feel that I can display my ambitions, only to find that there is a broader sky to fly in the distance!

After work in the evening, he couldn't help but pull Liu Qi, the artist with whom he usually has the best relationship, to discuss.

"I'll rub, of course I'll go with this good thing! Let's spend it in Big Talk 1 now, and no one cares about it, so let's just take Lao Duan along!"

"Lao Liu, do you think this is a good opportunity?"

"Nonsense!"

"Okay, then let's go together, just plus Lao Duan, the three of us can form a team!"

"Okay!"

The three musketeers who laid the foundation of Fantasy Journey to the West, Xu Bo, Liu Qi, and Duan Yang. I left NetEase and started a new future!

...........

Ding Sanshi was quite surprised when he heard the news of Xu Bo and others' resignation.

To be honest, the salary of NetEase's game department is very good, the salary of ordinary personnel is more than 10,000 yuan, and the main creative personnel are as high as 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. In this era, there are really not many companies that can give such a high salary.

Employees who resign must have a better home.

Although these few people are not the most core, they are also considered backbones, Ding Sanshi is a little curious, and asked people to check it.

"What? Are they going to the capital to go to Fengxing Technology?"

Ding Sanshi's face changed greatly, and his anger increased greatly.

Lin Feng kid is yin enough, I'll help you, you actually secretly dig into my corner?!

In a fit of rage, the phone rang.

Ding Sanshi glanced at the caller ID and picked up the phone with a gloomy face.

"Hey, Brother Ding, I'm Lin Feng! Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just got the news, Xu Bo and a few of them resigned from NetEase, I heard it badly, I'm afraid you misunderstood, hurry up and call you to explain." ”

"Oh, what are you afraid I will misunderstand?" Ding Sanshi said in a bad tone.

Lin Feng said in his heart, sure enough. Fortunately, he made this call in time, otherwise Ding Sanshi's character would have ended this feud.

"I'm afraid you misunderstand that I deliberately dug into your corner! I really didn't mean to, Brother Ding, you know, I'm going to enter the game, but there is no one in my hand. I met Xu Bo in the café downstairs that day, chatted a few words, and thought he was very good, and I heard him say that he had just changed from customer service to planning, I thought this kind of small role should have no impact on you, so I said that if you are interested, you can come to me. ”

"But I didn't know he had two people coming along!"

"So, Brother Ding, I apologize to you!"

Ding Sanshi's face softened a lot.

He mainly felt that he couldn't get over his face, as if he had been tricked by Lin Feng. As a result, Lin Feng made a timely phone call to explain and apologize, which made him feel that he could get by on his face.

"Lin Feng, it's not me talking about you, you open your mouth for this kind of thing, it's no problem for my brother to give you a person, it's not authentic to talk about it in private, forget it, since you apologize, this matter is over!"

"Come on, thank you Brother Ding, when will you come to the capital, brother, I will pour wine again to make amends!"

Hanging up the phone, Lin Feng smiled slightly.

The troika of Fengxing Technology is about to set sail, and it has been one of them.
