Chapter 401: Tang Dynasty University
Airports in South Korea.
Tang Dynasty Network stayed in South Korea for four days, and today it is going to return to China.
South Korean media people speculated, "Although from the Tang Dynasty Network's inspection, we did not see the so-called signing cooperation." However, yesterday, Jin Zhenglin, minister of information industry, held a secret meeting with Gu Xiaoyu, CEO of Tang Dynasty Network. It is said that the content of this meeting and cooperation will open another channel for the Korean game industry in the next few years or even the next ten years..."
Now that the Tang Dynasty Network has finished its investigation, the representatives of the Tang Dynasty Network are about to return to China.
"Thank you, and I am sure that when we return to our country, we will give South Korea a reply soon."
Gu Xiaoyu shook hands with the greeting representative and was about to board the plane.
At this moment, there was a shout in the distance, and a young man, holding the manuscript in his hand, rushed over loudly.
It's just that everyone doesn't know what this young man is here for. The vigilant ** on the side immediately formed a human wall to stop the young man and prevent him from entering.
"I have a game strategy ...... here."
The young man held up the manuscript paper in his hand and called loudly, hoping to attract the attention of Gu Xiaoyu of the Tang Dynasty network.
"What's going on over there?"
Gu Xiaoyu asked in a low voice.
"Mr. Gu, it's okay, it's just a people."
Several South Korean representatives smiled, not wanting Gu Xiaoyu to care. Then, he had to send Gu Xiaoyu away.
"It's still early, listen to him."
Then, Gu Xiaoyu said to his secretary, "Xiaomei, you go and take a look." ”
"Okay."
About ten minutes later, Gu Xiaoyu's secretary rushed back and said, "Mr. Gu, the other party is the person in charge of the Nepple working group, saying that he has a game plan in his hand, and he wants to show it to our Tang Dynasty Network." ”
"Nepple Working Group?"
Gu Xiaoyu hadn't heard of it.
"Mr. Gu, it's like this" The Nepple working group was originally Nepple, but it collapsed last year. ”
"Oh, that's right."
Gu Xiaoyu nodded and did not express any opinion.
"Oh, what about planning?"
"The man said that he would hand it over to Mr. Gu in person."
"Haha, yes."
Gu Xiaoyu smiled, "With this man being so confident, I'll take a look." ”
At this time, some South Koreans on the side reminded with their voices, "Mr. Gu, there are actually only seven or eight people in this Nepple working group, and they don't have much strength in themselves, they often just hold an idea and always want to get investment from big game companies." I think, Mr. Gu, it's still a ...... plane in the morning."
"This example is fine, if the game idea is good, we are really willing to buy it."
Of course, if it's just ordinary, you can see it at a glance.
With that, Gu Xiaoyu walked towards the young man.
"Hello, I'm Gu Xiaoyu."
"Gu, Mr. Gu, -..."
When the young man saw Gu Xiaoyu coming, he was overjoyed for a while, and said directly, "Mr. Gu, I have the planning of a 2D side-scrolling game here, and our studio has completed half of the game's tasks.
This young man is none other than Li Ming of the Nepple working group.
When Nepple learned that Tang Dynasty Network had come to South Korea, Li Ming discussed it with the members of the studio. I think this is an opportunity because they have traveled to a whole bunch of companies in Korea. However, these companies, they have refused. Although, they didn't want to hand over the idea to Tang Dynasty Company, because Tang Dynasty Company is a Chinese enterprise. But at the last moment, there was only the Tang Dynasty network. Perhaps, with the eyes of Tang Dynasty Network, he can really buy this game?
"Oh."
Gu Xiaoyu looked at the man holding the game plan with great interest, and saw his expression, but he was full of eagerness. This desire is not laziness. It's the love of the game in my heart.
"Okay, can I take a look at your game plan?"
Anyway.
A large number of people who develop games are probably full of enthusiasm and desire for games. However, you don't have to put your mind to making a game that makes a good game. As with everything else, it's not just that after hard work, there will be gains. Often in many things, your efforts and gains are not directly proportional. And what can be proportional is to know a direction and then work towards that direction. ,
“OK。”
Li Ming excitedly handed over the plan to Gu Xiaoyu.
“Dungeoneampfighten”
This is the name of the game, DNF for short.
However, Gu Xiaoyu was not interested in the name, he wanted the content of the game.
2D side-scrolling online game. ”
Under the name, first of all, I will introduce the features of the game.
First, the game is an arcade-based 2D side-scrolling online game.
Second, the game is based on the principle of PK fairness and advocates the competitiveness of online game PK.
Gu Xiaoyu didn't finish reading it all.
But these two ideas have already attracted him.
After a while, Gu Xiaoyu closed the plan and looked at the young man.
"Mr. Gu ......."
Li Ming's heart was cold, although Gu Xiaoyu didn't say anything. However, after only looking at it for about five minutes, he closed the plan. It seems that this does not need to be said much.
"Actually, Mr. Gu, I think that online games can also achieve PK competitiveness like competitive games"
Li Ming explained that he still wanted to make a final redemption.
Because, if the Tang Dynasty Network refuses, it is estimated that their game working group will end here.
"I think your plan is too long, and I can't finish it all at once. However, there is a position on our plane, and I want to take a closer look on the plane, I wonder if this netizen has time"-..."
"Yes, there is ......, there is time."
When Li Ming heard it, he was overjoyed, and he didn't understand the meaning.
This is the end of a small episode.
Gu Xiaoyu of Tang Dynasty Network took the entire Nepple studio under his umbrella and moved all of them to China.
"Mr. Chen, we took over a Nepple company during our trip to South Korea."
"Well, I already know."
The news that the Tang Dynasty Internet went to South Korea has long been reported by the media. In particular, the news in the airport has been hyped by countless media. The article pointed out that the Tang Dynasty had a unique vision for the Internet and took over the Nepple studio. It is also said that Korean game manufacturers have lost their way, and such a good game has been buried.
"Regarding the game DNF, what should Tang Dynasty Network do?"
In fact, Chen Jiayi suggested that Gu Xiaoyu go to South Korea this time, just to let Tang Dynasty Network get in touch with some innovative ideas of Korean games. For example, this DNF. This great side-scrolling 2D online game has not only achieved a very good debt in South Korea in later generations. Even in China, it is a first-class popularity. Moreover, after Tencent was transferred to China in later generations, the number of concurrent online users reached 2.6 million, which is simply a miracle.
In addition to that, due to DNF's playstyle. Because it focuses on competition, and moreover, there are arcade elements. Japanese clothes, European clothes, etc., are more liked. Of course, this game has also become the most famous 2D side-scrolling online game. The fair PK competition mentioned in the game simply created another generation of online game mode.
In this competitive platform, everyone uses the arcade-like operation to PK with many players, which is fun. Compared with online games, relying on level, relying on equipment to win and so on, it is also a step higher. Of course, there is no such thing as absolute fairness...... PK also has some differences ...... equipment levels and the like, but these things, he can only play the role of icing on the cake, even if you spend more RMB, if you are a rookie in operation, you will be abused by a lot of people.
And DNF's upgrade mode is all like arcade games. When everyone operates, it's like playing arcades when you were a child, like playing arcade machines like Dinosaur Island and Three Kingdoms. All of a sudden, there is a lot of fun in leveling up and fighting monsters. Coupled with the simple operation, in a few years, the game DNF has become popular in China, and even has a certain status in the world market.
Chen Jiayi didn't investigate the R&D company Nepple, but he wanted Gu Xiaoyu to take a look. Absorbing their creativity, Chinese games should also keep pace with the times and continue to innovate, so that they can stand in the world game market. Unexpectedly, under the rebirth of Chen Jiayi, Nepple Company was so miserable that even the company went bankrupt. Of course, in the previous life, Nepple didn't show much fame when the DNF game didn't even appear.
"For the time being, we don't have any specific requirements for the Nepple working group, we just want them to develop in the direction they originally planned, and strive to launch this game in 2005."
DNF has been developed for a long time, but due to lack of funding, it has only been halfway through development in a few years. The latter half of the task, increasing the research and development force, should be able to be developed in more than a year. ,
"Well, but the DNF Western elements are too heavy, you can add some Chinese Eastern elements to it. ,!
Although DNF is made in Korea, throughout the game, there is only one profession, "Fighter", which has some oriental flavor. However, this martial artist, he is still a judo master, and he has nothing to do with China. In this way, DNF is a game that basically has nothing to do with China.
This is absolutely unjustifiable for the Tang Dynasty network.
"We can add or subtract from some equipment, or in the small sub-map.
For example, there is a map that challenges Qin Shihuang, and if possible, it can even add other classes and add a purely Chinese ......, but be careful with this. You can't just add the Chinese factor and make the whole game unrecognizable...... ”
If the quality of a game is sacrificed to develop Chinese elements, this is what Chen Jiayi does not advocate.
"Okay, I understand."
Gu Xiaoyu nodded, in fact, in the original plan, he thought of this integration into the Chinese element. After all, Tang Dynasty Network is a brand, in addition to his game boutique strategy, the entire Tang Dynasty, he also represents a culture, a culture that belongs to China. Even, in the world, when you see the symbols of the Tang Dynasty, you will think of China. If the game produced by the Tang Dynasty, he actually has no Chinese culture, although this is not impossible. However, no matter how you say it, it looks a little awkward, and it is not conducive to building a Chinese cultural brand in the Tang Dynasty.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, there is one more thing."
After discussing DNF, Gu Xiaoyu still had one more matter, but he wanted to report it to Chen Jiayi.
"What's the matter?"
"South Korea's Minister of Information Industry Kim Jung-rim has proposed that he wants to cooperate with Tang Dynasty Network to open a game research base in South Korea, and can give us some advantages in other policies."
Research the matter of the base, even Gu Xiaoyu, the CEO of Tang Dynasty Network, he didn't dare to agree to it in person. Although this seems to be a matter of the two companies, this cooperation involves game technology. Moreover, it is also a cross-border cooperation. Moreover, this is not in line with Chen Jiayi's original plan.
When Chen Jiayi vigorously developed Chinese games, he wanted to curb the development of Korean games. If you open a game research center in Korea, you can tap a lot of Korean talents for your own use. "Moreover, South Korea is a big exporter, and he has no resources, so they will definitely pay attention to the investment in electronic products, and when the time comes, it will raise South Korea and threaten China in turn, which is also a big trouble."
"What do you mean?"
"China and South Korea are so close to each other, and China is also the world's largest market for online games. The games developed in South Korea will definitely be targeted at the Chinese market, which is not a good situation for us in the Tang Dynasty network or for the Chinese game industry. Now that China's game industry is suppressing South Korea, it is good to say that once South Korea starts playing, it will be a disaster for our Chinese game industry.
This is Gu Xiaoyu's point of view.
"What does Zixian mean?"
"Basically, he's pretty much the same thing I meant......
"Let me think about it." In 2000, Chen Jiayi was reborn. Why do you want to vigorously develop so many games, in addition to Chen Jiayi's own game work, he wants to revitalize domestic games, curb or even kill Korean games. Now, the task of inspiring Chinese games has been completed, and of course, it has also curbed Korean games very well. However, the world market is so big, it is impossible for Korean games to die.
China, for example, also has a large number of Korean games, although they have very few online users. However, South Korea is now paying more and more attention to video games, and many policies have been introduced. For example, as long as some game products are developed. Then, the Korean government will give you a subsidy. If the agent goes to China or the world, there will be a large amount of subsidy. As a result, the Korean game industry has been developing, although it is not very profitable.
From Gu Xiaoyu's visit to South Korea and the fact that the Minister of Information Industry of South Korea personally came to the airport to welcome us, we can see that South Korea attaches great importance to the game industry. This is much more powerful than the Chinese government. Of course, as the Tang Dynasty Internet went global, the government paid more and more attention to Internet high-tech enterprises, but China is so big, agriculture should be concerned, industry should be concerned, exports should be concerned, real estate should also be concerned, and people's livelihood problems ......, a lot. In China, if the government supports game companies every day, I am afraid that it is no wonder that it will not be scolded to death by a large number of trolls. ,
About fifteen minutes later, Chen Jiayi had a flash of inspiration and had a big plan.
"There are too few game research bases in China, not only game research bases, but also computer information. If we want to vigorously develop the Tang Dynasty network, we must invest in game experiments. That way, you can reply to the Korean side. A game research base where we can work with South Korea. However, the research base should be located in China. Moreover, those who cooperate with all parties need to sign a series of co-ordination... Especially for that kind of genius-level character, it is even more necessary to grasp it. ”
South Korea is such a small market, I opened a game base in your country, I show off. Chen Jiayi, like Gu Xiaoyu, did not agree. However, he would be more than happy to open a research base in China.
"Okay."
As long as you open a game base in China, then everything is easy to do. This large number of talents will slowly join the Chinese camp under the influence of China. That's why a lot of people go to study in the United States, but they don't want to come back after they finish their studies. It is because of that place that he has the opportunity to realize his life ideals, or a high reward.
"That's just a point, I have a plan to tell you."
Although the research base is important, Chen Jiayi's next plan is much more important.
"What's the plan?"
"You say, how about opening a private university on our Tang Dynasty network?"
At this time, Chen Jiayi expressed his opinion.
"University?"
Gu Xiaoyu really didn't expect that Chen Jiayi actually wanted to set up a university.
"Full-time undergraduate college?"
"No, it doesn't matter if you have a bachelor's degree or not, it's a junior college. Our university is different from other universities. For the time being, I just want to open a professional university that integrates Internet, games, animation, finance, software ......, etc. Moreover, the students recruited by the school will directly enter major domestic companies in the future. ”
For the time being, Chen Jiayi doesn't want to set up any private school, the university he said is, to put it bluntly, a training base. Moreover, it is also a dedicated game base. In other words, what kind of talents are needed by Chinese games or world companies, the university will cultivate.
In addition, at the time of recruitment, you can sign a talent transfer contract with major enterprises. They need the Internet, or they need game technicians, and Chen Jiayi will train them as much as they need.
In this way, after graduation, students can directly enter the workforce. If you study a full-time undergraduate program, you don't say it will take four years. And, over the course of four years, a lot of time was wasted on a lot of theories. However, when it comes to hands-on, that's very low. So, a lot of times, after many graduates come out, they find out. I said that I could only use 20% of what I learned in college...... That's how cups are made.
"At first, we don't need to recruit many students, and I can apply for the right to recruit independently. After the future students graduate, in addition to the degree certificate, we will also send our own certification, Zang Tang Dynasty certification. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty certification can be more stringent than the degree certificate. ”
Chen Jiayi just wants to create a talent who will hold the "Tang Dynasty Certification Certificate" in the future, which is more popular than a large number of social elites...... )
