Chapter 151: Return to the furnace and redo

"That's true, but no matter how much pressure you have, it must not be as great as it used to be."

Liang Yuchong said before, naturally, before it was acquired by NetEase.

"Well, think about it."

"I'd like to hear your opinion."

Judging from the attitude given by the vice president of NetEase today, Liang Yuchong also has mixed feelings in his heart. It's just that Liang Yuchong can't say anything. Journey to the West is indeed a failure, this is an undeniable fact.

"Tang Dynasty Network is a subsidiary of Tang Dynasty Information, with a Tang Dynasty competition platform externally and an Internet café management system internally. Although it seems that there is no monopoly, in fact, Tang Dynasty Network has formed a monopoly platform. In the future, on this platform, Tang Dynasty Network will definitely be able to leave others far, far away. Moreover, with the increase of netizens, when the parent company of Tang Dynasty Information made a force, it was even more terrifying. We have also been very worried about the Tang Dynasty network.

If you can't stay in NetEase, you can consider it. At least, judging from the current operation of the Tang Dynasty network. Their boss is a relatively enlightened person. treats subordinates to the best of their ability. Those who have the ability will be reused. The recent Zhao Danyang is a good example......"

Fishman seemed to have a deep understanding of the Tang Dynasty Company, and casually said it, and pulled out all the business of the entire Tang Dynasty network. But think about it, too, like those of them who do networking. That's a hollow study of the Tang Dynasty network, otherwise, how did you die at that time, and you may not know.

"Well, thanks for the suggestion, I'll consider it."

Liang Yuchong is still more emotional, and when he was developing Journey to the West. Ding Lei, the boss of NetEase, also takes good care of the world studio, and all kinds of needs are prepared one by one. It's a pity that now that Journey to the West has been developed, it is facing such a situation. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Liang Yuchong thought to himself, maybe Ding Lei's mood is like this now.

After chatting with Fishman, Liang Yuchong washed up and quickly fell asleep. The next day, Liang Yuchong gathered the employees of the entire Tianxia Studio and held a meeting.

"Everyone, presumably everyone has also written their own plans, and now let's discuss how we can give an explanation to the above."

Liang Yuchong presided over the meeting and began to seriously review the mistakes of his side.

"Zhihui, you are the chief planner of the game, you first find out all the shortcomings of our game."

"Yes."

Wu Zhihui looked at the document and said, "Due to the short development cycle of Journey to the West, many places are not doing very well. The first one, judging from the game screen, is relatively rough, and it may not be very popular for young people. The second point is that the balance between the various sects has not been done well. The gameplay is relatively simple, and there is not much involved in life and occupation. In terms of PK, the strength of the team is not reflected......"

Especially when it comes to PK.

Turn-based game, everyone likes to team up for PK. Single PK, not much fun. Then, if you form a team PK, it must reflect the PK strength of a team. For example, the combination between sects and sects, the choice of skills and skills. Often, many times, the release of your first skill can show the strength of your team.

It should be said that this kind of turn-based PK game is about intelligence, not mouse and keyboard skills.

It's just that Journey to the West is facing the threat of an ethereal journey, and the progress is rushing again and again, and in many places, it is not very perfect.

Subsequently, the R&D members of Tianxia Studio also made corrections to some other places.

"It seems that our big talk about Journey to the West has a lot of problems in itself."

Liang Yuchong smiled a little wryly, in fact, he already knew these problems. However, in such a short period of time, it is already a great achievement to be able to produce the current Journey to the West. Moreover, even if you compare Journey to the West with the Legend of Jin Yong's heroes, or the Stone Age, there are certain advantages. After all, Journey to the West has made many innovations in many places. Just like the setting of the sect's skills, this is one of the most pioneering highlights.

Maybe Liang Yuchong doesn't know now that there are a lot of turn-based online games in China in the future. Including Fantasy Journey to the West, Journey to the West Q, and the perfect fantasy Zhuxian, their skill settings, all of which are used in the big talk of Journey to the West. It's a pity that now it's about Journey to the West, but it's facing such and such problems, so few people come to play.

I have to say that a good game doesn't necessarily become popular.

"Then let's discuss, how do we deal with the current situation?"

If there is a problem, it must be solved, although I received an invitation yesterday, but Liang Yuchong is not a person who gives up easily.

When everyone heard Liang Yuchong's answer, they all looked at me, and I looked at you. In the end, Wu Zhihui said, "I think there is only one way." ”

"What way."

"Back to the furnace."

To reinvent is to remake, or, to continue to improve.

"Back to the furnace?"

Liang Yuchong didn't think of this word. In fact, before NetEase's senior management came down, Liang Yuchong had this idea. It's just that Liang Yuchong knows that the return of a game directly indicates that the game he developed has failed. This is a fatal blow to the entire game studio.

"What do you think?"

Liang Yuchong looked at everyone, this studio was founded in 98. Every employee here is an elite in the industry. It's just that the price of returning to the furnace is too great, and Liang Yuchong can't make up his mind.

Finally, after waiting for a long time, all the R&D members nodded.

"Okay, I'll hand over this plan, and everyone will dismiss."

After a seminar, Liang Yuchong already knew the answer.

So, with the finished strategy book, Liang Yuchong came to the office of the vice president of NetEase.

"Mr. Yang, the plan is done."

"Hmm."

NetEase's deputy name, surnamed Yang, name Qing.

Yang Qing has been managing the affairs of the portal, and when Ding Lei said that he wanted to enter the online game market, he was a faction that strongly opposed it. Yang Qing believes that NetEase is just a web portal, and it is enough to do a good job of the website. If you spend energy on online games again, you may not be able to do a good job, and you will leave your website's business behind. Sohu has done this before, but as a result, it has acted as an agent for an online game, and it is still good to die, not to mention a lot of wasted energy, and the performance has been dragged down by three percent.

It's a pity that Ding Lei had already made up his mind at that time. No matter what Yang Qing said, it was useless.

Now a year has passed, and this big talk of Journey to the West, which has cost NetEase a lot of effort, has finally been successfully launched into the market. However, when it was just launched, looking at the poor number of online users, the market directly gave NetEase a resounding slap in the face. Ding Lei was also disappointed. sent Yang Yuanqing to the world studio to understand the corresponding situation. If there is no reasonable explanation, then NetEase's investment in Westward Journey may have to be terminated.

"I'll see."

With anger, Yang Qing opened the plan that Liang Yuchong had brought over. He wants to see what kind of strategy Liang Yuchong can give in the current situation. In fact, judging from the current situation, Yang Qing's heart is bright. The failure of Journey to the West is completely due to the market, and the world studio cannot be blamed entirely.

But if you don't make up your mind at this moment. In the future, if the chairman steps into the online game market, I am afraid that NetEase will be greatly damaged. In the past few days, because of the fiasco of Journey to the West, the stock price of Nasdaq NetEase has fallen for seven consecutive days. I'm afraid that if it continues to fall like this, these executives will be distressed. You know, they have a little bit of a stake.

"Back to the furnace."

Me, I, I...... Yang Qing almost scolded.

Directly slapped the plan on the table, you fucking dare to say that it is back to the furnace. It's going to break out, but it's good to hold back. said, "Okay, very good, Liang Yuchong, you did a good job." I've read your plan. Soon the board of directors will have a resolution, and you go back first. ”

Yang Qing is half angry now, he never thought that Liang Yuchong actually made a plan to return to the furnace, isn't this pushing NetEase to the fire pit again?

"Yes."

Just as Liang Yuchong was about to leave, at this time, Liang Yuchong remembered something. said, "I want to meet Mr. Ding." ”

"Mr. Ding is very busy, you can tell me something, and I will tell him directly when the time comes."

"Oh, that's fine."

Seeing this, Liang Yuchong was also a little disappointed.

What Yang Qing meant, how could he not understand.

Presumably, in a few days, NetEase's senior management will come to a resolution to revoke the world's game studios.

In the next few days, there has been no news from the World Studio. I heard that there is a meeting going on at headquarters. Moreover, this meeting is to study whether it is necessary for NetEase to enter the online game market.

"Hello, Mr. Liang, someone wants to talk to you for a few words."

At this time, Ma Wenjun, who was born with a talent network, once again sent the news to Liang Yuchong.

"Who is this man?"

"You'll find out in a moment."

After Ma Wenjun finished speaking, a prompt message sounded, Liang Yuchong clicked on it and found that it was an ID named Chen Jiayi, who applied to add himself as a friend.

"Chen Jiayi, isn't that the CEO of Tang Dynasty Company?"

Although many people have never seen Chen Jiayi, who would not know Chen Jiayi's name. This time, Liang Yuchong did not hesitate, clicked confirm, and added the other party as a friend.

"Hello, let me introduce myself, the contemptible surname is Chen ......"

TT's name is Chen Jiayi, and it is Chen Jiayi himself.

In the past few days, some of NetEase's actions, although not all of them are known by Tang Dynasty Network, but they probably know some. It's fair to say that now is the best time to start. Because, Liang Yuchong is already a little blind. If NetEase really cancels this game studio, Liang Yuchong really doesn't know, what should he do in the future?

In the face of a menacing ethereal journey, there is basically no game company that is willing to expand aggressively. And they may have to face the previous crisis again, that is, the dissolution of the game studio.

"Long admiration, long admiration."

"Mr. Liang, do you have any intention of coming to our Tang Dynasty network development?"

Chen Jiayi directly explained the intention.

"Don't you want to take the boutique route, even a small game studio like us?"

Liang Yuchong smiled a little self-deprecatingly and sent the message.

"It is precisely because we Tang Dynasty Network is going to take the boutique route that I want to invite Mr. Liang. I'll tell you straight, before I chatted with you, I had already raised the level of Journey to the West to level 20......"

Whoever dares to say that Journey to the West is not a high-quality product, Chen Jiayi wants to scold him for being an idiot.

Without big talk about Journey to the West, how can there be a Fantasy Journey to the West, let alone a lot of turn-based games in the back. It's just that the picture quality of Journey to the West is too bad, and many people don't care about it at all.

But in any case, when it comes to Journey to the West, he has created a new turn-based game system.

Chen Jiayi is well aware of this.

Faced with Liang Yuchong's question, Chen Jiayi went straight back and affirmed their ability
