Chapter 13: Old Acquaintances

The next day, when Zhang Lexing woke up, he felt that his head was slightly swollen and his body was a little sore, and it seemed that he had drunk a little too much last night. I got up and went to the living room, opened the thermos and tried it, but fortunately the boiling water left yesterday was not cold, so I took a water cup and poured half a cup and drank it slowly. Then he came to the bathroom to take a shower, and Zhang Lexing felt that his spirit was immediately much better.

Back in the living room, Zhang Lexing sat down on the sofa and pondered where to go for breakfast. I only came yesterday, and I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to look around, and I didn't know what was in the morning.

"Who," Zhang Lexing asked.

"It's me. A woman's voice came from outside the door, and it seemed to sound familiar.

Zhang Lexing opened it and took a look, and it turned out that Chu Jing was here.

Chu Jing raised the bag in his hand and said, "Wang Bin, he knows that you are not familiar with this, and it is estimated that you haven't eaten breakfast yet, so he specially asked me to bring you some, I didn't come late." ”

"Hey, it's the right time, I'm really worried about where to eat. Zhang Lexing happily took the bag, put it on the dining table, and opened it to see, ha, it was his favorite soy milk fritters.

"Thanks, would you like to do it again? ”

"No, I'm so full in the morning. ”

"Then you're welcome. Zhang Lexing turned around and came to the kitchen, took a pair of chopsticks, and returned to the dining table. After a night of consumption, my stomach was already hungry, and I wiped out the soy milk fritters in three or two clicks, and my lower abdomen finally felt full again.

After eating breakfast, Zhang Lexing beckoned Chu Jing to sit down on the sofa, and then came to the kitchen to put the boiling kettle on the gas stove, ready to pour her a glass of water when the water boiled.

Back in the living room, Zhang Lexing sat down on the sofa next to Chu Jing: "You should not have come today just to deliver breakfast." ”

"Yes, Binzi told me last night. He said you were going to start a computer game company, and he recommended me to come to your company. No, I'll send it early today, and I'll come to the interview by the way. ”

"I heard Wang Bin say that you have done it in the office, I don't know what kind of work you used to do?"

"I've done a lot of business statistics, report analysis, scheduling, manpower deployment, and so on. ”

"Well, have you ever used a computer? Do you know computer games?"

"The computer has been used.,Wubi font input method is still more familiar.,It will also use WPS typesetting.,Computer games don't know much about it.。 ”

Chu Jing understands these things and is quite suitable for being an administrator, as for which level she can achieve in the future, it only depends on her future performance, she can't just talk about it casually and take out any high-paying and high-level positions. Zhang Lexing agreed that Chu Jing came over more because he had known each other before, and the company was suitable when it was founded, so today's interview was more like a passing scene, and he didn't plan to have any problems. After a brief chat, even if Chu Jing becomes a new employee of the creative workshop, as for the contract, it can't be signed yet, after all, the company hasn't opened yet, so he hasn't prepared anything.

Although the contract has not yet been signed, Chu Jing, as the company's administrative supervisor, still quickly entered the working state. At present, the most important thing for the company is to quickly set up the office, put some office furniture, and then match some decorations, flowers and plants. Otherwise, just a few empty chairs, if someone really comes to apply for a job, they can scare people away directly. In this kind of activity of choosing furniture and decorations, considering Xiao Donghai's taste, Zhang Lexing directly ignored him, and pulled Chu Jing to pick out some office furniture first.

Unexpectedly, after asking Chu Jing, I realized that it was not easy to choose some office furniture in this year. Because this will be a lot of future famous furniture city not even a photo, want to buy furniture can only go to the building materials supply station or Wujinjiaodian company and the like, and wait to see the ground, the furniture is typical stupid and stupid, at this time Zhang Lexing can't help but miss his previous days in IKEA and Jimei to choose furniture. ran a few places in a row, and even ate lunch in the middle, Zhang Lexing had to give up, although the furniture was still not in his eyes, but he couldn't go to Hong Kong to buy it abroad, and finally had to choose a few sets of desks and chairs that Chu Jing could see with his eyes at this time, as for the selection of decorations and flowers and plants, Zhang Lexing was no longer interested, and handed it over directly to Chu Jing, so that she could find a way to do it herself in the past two days. In addition, he also took out a piece of paper with the recruiter's requirements written and handed it to Chu Jing, asking her to do it by the way.

After being tired for most of the day, after saying goodbye to Chu Jing, Zhang Lexing dragged his tired body back to the community where he lived. There is no interest in buying things to do it yourself, and if you want to buy it, you can find an inappropriate place to buy it, Zhang Lexing simply found a restaurant that looked fairly clean, and asked for a bowl of beef noodles even if he dealt with dinner.

Back in his room, Zhang Lexing took a shower, changed into comfortable clothes, and then rested on the sofa and watched TV by the way. Pick up the remote control and press it casually a few times, at this time there are still very few TV programs, basically no entertainment programs, the news broadcast is also very serious, and often the leaders have inspected where they have visited, where they have visited, and where they have gone, and they have no interest after watching it for a while. Leaning on the sofa for a while, Zhang Lexing felt less tired, so he got up and turned off the TV, and then came to the bedroom and took out his notebook used to write how to develop the domestic game business plan. The content of this book has just been written, and then I haven't had time to write again, it's rare that it's okay tonight, Zhang Lexing decided to continue thinking about it.

When did the mainland's stand-alone game industry rise Zhang Lexing has a little bit of a hard time, according to the legend in 1991, there were some personally produced game works, but because it was not popular, it was impossible to know whether it was true, so the name of the pioneer of the mainland game industry fell on the launch of "Condor Commando" Jinpan Electronics, it is said that this game was also sold to South Korea, but unfortunately Zhang Lexing did not have a chance to see.

It is also during this period that several pillars of the mainland game industry, such as the forerunner, Xishanju, Target, Creative Eagle Soaring, Totem, etc., have also appeared, and gradually the golden period of the mainland game industry has arrived. However, with the collapse of the leading company in 1998, the pioneers of the mainland game industry have gradually become martyrs, and only a few have been retained, and the genuine output value of the mainland game industry this year is close to 80 million yuan, but it is said that the vast majority of them do not belong to the mainland game development companies.

However, 1998 was not the highest output value of the mainland stand-alone game industry, according to a survey report read by Zhang Lexing, the real peak of the mainland stand-alone game industry was in 2001, the annual stand-alone game market revenue of that year was 280 million yuan, there were 397 games, 50 agency companies, more than 30 R&D companies, this year the online game industry just started. By 2005, the annual stand-alone game market revenue had dropped to less than 70 million yuan, and there were only 35 games left on the market in a year, many of which belonged to the number of fried cold rice products, and there were less than 10 agency companies left, and there were even fewer R&D companies, and this year's online game industry has exceeded 6 billion yuan. Since then, the mainland stand-alone game market has gradually moved away from everyone's sight and has been completely submerged in the noisy tide of online games.

Why did the mainland stand-alone game industry suddenly sink after a short period of glory, Zhang Lexing summarized some reasons from the information he saw back then. The first is piracy, which is not a pain for domestic games; the second is that the number of listed games is small due to the strict approval policy, and the channel as water is gradually drying up due to the loss of fish in the water; Grab a handful of companies and leave the company mixed in,As a result, those inferior games don't know how many players who love domestic games are sad and disappointed,More domestic games are labeled bad;The fourth is public opinion,I don't know when,The game has become the original sin of all bad things in the eyes of some people,Any bad thing can always be related to the game,So in some people who don't understand the game、 In the hands of people who don't want to understand games, the sunny industry of computer games has been completely knocked to the ground, and has become a dark place with a dirty label; fifth, there are few types of games, and there are even fewer originals, except for a large number of RPG games, there are very few other types, which may be related to the fact that mainland game companies are not strong and dare not take risks.

In 2008, before Zhang Lexing came to the present, the mainland game industry basically only had an online game industry, there were few computer stand-alone games left, the game console industry was basically parallel goods and piracy, and the arcade industry was tepid, but it had nothing to do with the mainland game companies, which was very different from the pattern of the game industry in the same period. Zhang Lexing originally thought that as long as he had money and was willing to invest, he could start the game industry, but after learning from Yang Xinxin, Hawkins and others for so many years, he knew that the game industry is not something that can be started by one company, and only when many companies develop together in an industry, and strengthen the connection between upstream and downstream and related industries, can a real industrial system be formed.

After years of investment and struggle, Zhang Lexing has mastered a large number of assets in his hands, and he doesn't have to worry too much about the money in developing the game industry in China. Although Japan has withdrawn more than $5 billion of the $18 billion it made in the past two years, it has not only not decreased, but has increased to $20.5 billion by continuing speculation in the later period (for example, the Gulf War caused a sharp rise in oil prices). There is also the Red River Fund, after years of precise investment, not only has it mastered many equities with great development potential, but also sold some of the equities and the cash on hand has reached $4.7 billion. In addition, there are more than $600 million in annual dividends from VisualSystem and increasing year by year, as well as $3.5 billion in cash held by Oriental Holdings, plus more than $380 million in annual investment dividends, and of course, some odd and bits of salary bonuses. In the end, Zhang Lexing does not have to worry about the lack of money in the game industry, in fact, it is more important to consider how to use the existing industry to develop the game business.

VisualSystem is the place where Zhang Lexing made his fortune, and in the future, because the focus of his work has shifted to China, he will definitely not have much energy to care. However, VisualSystem has the operating system in its hands, Zhang Lexing will definitely not give up, with VisualSystem's technical support, I believe that the technical barriers to developing games will be much smaller at that time.

Blue Dragon will be an important base for personnel to further their education in the future, and it is also one of the frontlines to keep up with game development technology, and the Game Research Institute is an important base for direct development of game-related technology. With these two places, Zhang Lexing does not have to worry about being bored in the development of China and the international disconnection.

The Hong Kong chip factory will be the production site of key components of the game console in the future, and will also be the location of the R&D team of the core operating system of the game console.

The game industry not only includes directly related industries such as game development, distribution, and game consoles, but also includes some related industries, such as animation and movies. In the future, not only can the game be adapted into animation and comics to promote, but also use the character image to vigorously develop the periphery, and it can also use mature animation to adapt it into a game, but the main task at present is to completely eat the mess in Japan. In addition, DreamWorks in the United States is also a place that can be used in the future, games can be adapted into movies to expand their influence, and movies can also be adapted into games to increase revenue, and DreamWorks' next development goal will be a comprehensive film group.

Okay, my own internal affairs, that is, how to develop the domestic game industry, Zhang Lexing really has no bottom in his heart, and he can only adjust it according to the actual situation in the future, of course, those factors that are said to affect the development of the game industry Zhang Lexing will definitely pay attention to it, but now I have to get my own company up first.

Zhang Lexing returned to China this time, in addition to the game industry, there is another important thing, that is, to integrate these industries in the mainland into Oriental Holdings, after all, it will be more formal and convenient to operate through the company. At that time, he only had time to complete the adjustment of the United States and Hong Kong, and he had not had a chance to do anything about this part of the mainland industry, so Zhang Lexing did not want to cause too large personnel changes because of the adjustment, so he had to spend some time talking and communicating with the managers of these industries before the integration.
