Wang Fan was dumbfounded, he really couldn't imagine that Gameloft, which single-handedly created masterpieces such as Asphalt and Modern Warfare, would come to this point!

What's more, the whole time of change seems to be less than a year!

Just like Nokia, the former mobile phone hegemon, after 20 years of glory, suddenly completely declined, and then there was a continuous decline in market share, until the mobile phone business was completely acquired by Microsoft soon after......

However, this also gave Wang Fan vigilance, in the rapidly changing era, it is not enough to have technology, but also to grasp the market and cater to consumers, otherwise it will be difficult to escape the tragedy of Nokia and Gameloft.

Frankly speaking, Wang Fan only has a slight memory of Gameloft's decline.

After all, they bring so many exquisite games to players, spanning red and white machines to smart machines, existing in the growth process of everyone in the 80s/90s and even 00s.

But this is good news for Wang Fan.

Not only does the old not go and the new does not come, but the decline of Gameloft has given other companies the opportunity to develop and the space for mortal technology to rise in the field of game development.

What's more, the talent they unleash!

As a veteran developer who has always been ahead of the times, Gameloft has gathered high-end game development talents from all over the world.

However, due to poor financial reports and shrinking revenues, he was forced to close several studios around the world.

According to the information of Su Xueyan's investigation, the Shenzhen City and New York studios that closed this year are just the beginning.

And the reason why Gameloft closed the studio is even more capricious, as long as the market performance of the game market is not satisfactory. Whatever the reason. Shut down the entire studio.

Like Deep City Studios. Because of the poor performance of the game "Journey to the West", it directly dragged down the entire studio.

The next step is to at least lay off employees on a large scale in the Tokyo studio, or even leave only the administrative staff.

The Shudi studio in Huaxia, Seattle in the United States, and the studio in New Zealand, etc., are also performing poorly, and I am afraid that they will also be closed down.

What's more, once it was shut down, Gameloft chose to do it without any explanation. All employees were dismissed, even the core boss of the studio!

This gives mortal technology the best chance!

With the Yiyou intelligent development platform, Mortal Technology's game development does not require too many developers at all.

However, it is very necessary for some high-level developers to carry out the final checks, improvements, modifications and other work to make up for the lack of weak artificial intelligence.

There is no doubt that Gameloft's personnel, who have won many international awards, are even more powerful, which is exactly what Wang Fan needs.

Or even take down the core team in one of Gameloft's studios. Then the structure of mortal technology game development is sufficient, and the self-produced game must be of a very high standard!

According to the information of Su Xueyan's investigation. During this time, there were also some situations in the Huaxia Shudi studio.

For example, when the top management is often absent, for example, the HR department has begun to remind employees to be mentally prepared, for example, the daily workload has been greatly reduced, and the developers who have been busy all the time have a tendency to be idle......

All these anomalies indicate that the shutdown and dissolution have been put on the agenda, even in September!

The building near the water is the first to get the moon, which is a very good opportunity for Wang Fan.

This studio has been engaged in game development, as well as the sinicization of games, such as "Minion Run" is their sinicization.

According to Wang Fan's plan, in the early stage, a small number of Mortal Technology's games were developed by themselves, and many others had to be sinicized and localized for foreign big games.

Therefore, this team's needs for mortal technology are very consistent.

However, it is also difficult to tap all their core talents, after all, it is not only mortal technology that is close to the water!

Since the popularity of the mobile game market in China, a large number of game developers have suddenly emerged since 2012, such as Nibiru, Digital Sky, Sky Interactive, Wind Network, etc.!

They are also in high demand for Gameloft's high-end talents, and they have even started to act now!

Wang Fan couldn't wait, let alone let the cooked duck fly away, so he made a decision directly, and asked Ding Quan to fly to Shudi immediately and make an appointment to meet the core executives of Shudi Studio!

He is also very ambitious, at least to recruit all the core talents of the entire studio.

In this way, it will be much easier to operate in the future, whether it is division of labor or cooperation, after all, so many years of cooperation have already been run in with the same mind.

Of course, Wang Fan also gave the bottom line.

Li Junkai, the boss of Shudi Studio, has a good talent, and he is a necessary talent specially circled by Wang Fan.

In addition to all kinds of generous treatment, and even in order to increase the chances of winning and successfully winning the entire core team, Mortal Technology can make concessions.

Employees other than core talents can still sign up to one-third!

Although those people are not indispensable to mortal technology, after all, the existence of the Yiyou intelligent development platform has replaced most of their basic work.

But in order to ask for one general, I insisted on overcharging three armies!

Wang Fan has made a bloody investment for the sake of talents this time, so he sent to Shu to visit the thatched house in person!

However, Ding Quan went, and he looked up to the other party very much, after all, Su Xueyan was not there, and Ding Quan was the current executive president.

As for the company's affairs, it is natural to leave it to other executives to be responsible for themselves, and if it is too important, Wang Fan will personally inquire about it.

But even so, it still gave Wang Fan a headache.

After all, with the rapid development of mortal technology, the services and content of all languages must be expanded, and the company's affairs are abnormal, and many of them need to be signed by the first leader in person!

Under the busyness, Wang Fan even wanted to copy a few Su Xueyan to come out to help!

…………

Cook, who is far away on the other side of the ocean, also frowned slightly!

With the rapid development of ordinary language, their pressure also increased.

It's not a conflict with mortal technology software and interests, but pressure from Apple's user side!

Previously, the Mortal Forum was ready to launch on the Apple App Store, but it failed because the revenue sharing was not negotiated.

As is customary, Apple insists on a 30 percent share of the total revenue of the Mortal Forum, including the sales of related software on the IOS platform.

Mortal Technology thought that the asking price was too high and chose to refuse, and in the end, the two sides broke up.

And all the software of Mortal Technology has also been rejected by Apple!

As we all know, the sales of Mortal Technology's CPU intelligent control software and camera master are extremely hot, once they are launched on Apple, even if they only have a 30% share, they are still billions of profits.

With such a big cake, Apple doesn't want to give up, and mortal technology doesn't want to give up either.

As a result, the two sides have been at a stalemate, waiting for the other party to be the first to compromise and thus gain benefits.

(To be continued.) )

PS: Happy weekend.
