Chapter 168: The Mythical Mansion
After selling more than 13 million copies, Jingyuan Century's sales have fallen to the bottom with the invasion of piracy, and it seems that there is no sign of raising its head, but Rao is so, and the Chinese market alone has made nearly one billion yuan. The European and American markets are even more crazy, with more than 50 million copies sold, and a gross profit of more than $2 billion, deducting the channel fees for EA and the cost of burning game CDs, the net profit of Myth Group has also reached $1.5 billion.
Although there have been piracy on the market, European and American players have a strong sense of copyright, so the game of Jingyuan Century has strong stamina in Europe and the United States, and it is not inferior to those stand-alone masterpieces that have been famous for a long time, and can continue to provide funds to the Mythical Group.
Recently, everyone in Starry Night Studio is smiling from ear to ear, and the big sale of Jingyuan Century means that they will get more share, and when Li Haoyu transferred 150 million US dollars into their account, the other two studios are so jealous that their eyes are red, and they all start to make games desperately.
"Chairman, the Legend of the Swordsman of the West Mountain can be tested, right?" It was approaching the 11th National Day, Xu Qing found Li Haoyu, pulled him to Xishanju softly, and asked him to try out the legend of Xishan Swordsman, which has been developed and tested internally, so that this game can be released as soon as possible.
Li Haoyu sits in front of the computer and plays this online game, although the graphics are already a little worse than the Sword of Lingyun in terms of gameplay, but the huge world view and plot tasks make up for this very well. Because it is a fairy game, the battle mode is also much richer than the pure martial arts Lingyun Sword, which should attract quite a few players.
After playing for more than half an hour, Li Haoyu upgraded his character to the Yuan Infant Period, attacking monsters with flying swords, the battle scene is quite gorgeous, coupled with gorgeous skills and a unique cross-mission system in addition to the Sword of Lingyun, this game can be called one of the best RPG games in addition to the Sword of Lingyun.
"It's time to start the test, let's start on the National Day, and release it together with Xunyou's accelerator binding." Li Haoyu recognized this Xishan Swordsman Legend very much, and it has also undergone the first internal test of professional players such as An Hai, there are no big bugs, and other small bugs are still modified while testing.
Xu Qing said excitedly: "Chairman, great! ”
Li Haoyu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Qingzi, I still say the same thing, all the turnover in the first month after the official operation of the Xishan Swordsman Legend game is your bonus, you work hard, don't make any mistakes." ”
Xu Qing nodded again and again, "Don't worry, Chairman, with a generous boss like you, even if I want to be lazy, the rest of Xishanju will not be!" Although their bonuses are far inferior to the group of Europeans and Americans in Starry Night Studio, Xu Qing is already very satisfied, he knows that his skills and Xishanju's skills are not as good as Starry Night Studio, and online games are a long-term transaction, no more than a single machine is a hammer deal, and there will not be too much sales once the sales boom after the release has passed. Generally speaking, the most profitable online games are in the first few months after the official operation, and Li Haoyu is willing to give them all the turnover in the first month as a bonus, which is already the most generous boss in the Huaxia game company.
In fact, the huge prize of $150 million received by Starry Night Studios not only made people within the Mythical Group red-eyed, but also all the game industry practitioners in the world.
Damn, I've been in the gaming industry for decades, so why haven't I met such a generous boss?
That's 150 million dollars!
Not fifteen thousand!
The boss of the Huaxia Mythology Group is willing to take it out as a bonus?
Now the mythical group has become the most wanted company for all the game industry practitioners in the world, with good benefits, many bonuses, and is also responsible for helping to rent a house and send a bus to and from work, I heard that joining the mythical group is also responsible for introducing beautiful mountain city girls, which makes a group of people in the game industry who are three points and one line how can they endure this temptation?
For a while, there were a lot of people who called and sent letters to ask if the Mythical Group had recruited new employees recently, Xu Xin and other beauties in the customer service department were very busy, and the mailboxes of the Mythical Group were full every day, and the calls were one after another, and they didn't even have time to drink saliva.
Shinhwa Group has become the most dreamy company in the game industry to join, and to put it simply, it has become a person that everyone wants to eat.
Hao Qian posted a recruitment notice on the official website, and the total number of recruits was less than 100, but the number of people who sent emails to apply for jobs has exceeded 30,000, which is even hotter than the most popular civil service examination in China.
Hao Qian was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, he used to be worried that he couldn't find good talents, but now he is lining up for talents, this gap makes Hao Qian wake up with a smile in his dreams.
"Chairman, are we taking advantage of the current recruitment of personnel from the two studios, especially the development of mobile games, it is urgent." Hao Qian suggested.
Li Haoyu said depressedly: "Director Hao, I don't want to recruit more game developers, but at present, our headquarters building can no longer accommodate more studios. ”
Hao Qian is absolutely keen on recruiting talents, he doesn't want these talents to jump from his front to other companies, and he can't find anyone when he wants to recruit in the future, and said: "Chairman, I think that since the headquarters building can't be arranged, we can rent a few more floors of office buildings nearby to house them, anyway, it's not far from the headquarters, and it's easy to manage." ”
Li Haoyu frowned and said: "But we can't always keep leasing office buildings like this, which makes the company's employees have no sense of belonging?" ”
Hao Qian muttered: "Chairman, then we will build our own headquarters building!" ”
Li Haoyu was shocked, "That's right, why didn't I think of this!" By the way, will our group have enough funds to build this building? ”
Hao Qian spread his hands and said, "Chairman, you have to ask Director Wang in terms of finance, do you want me to call her over and we discuss it together?" ”
Li Haoyu said: "Yes, by the way, call Director Wang Jingshi over too." ”
Hao Qian nodded, and notified the two directors of Wang with myth management software on the computer.
Not long after, Wang Jingshi and Wang Lingwei had already come to Li Haoyu's office, and Wang Lingwei asked, "Chairman, did you call us for something?" ”
"You guys sit down," Li Haoyu waited for them to sit down before he said, "Just now, Director Hao and I think that our group should recruit a large number of talents now, at least set up a game studio, but you all know now that this building can no longer accommodate more studios." So I'm going to build a headquarters building that belongs to our Mythical Group, and I'm calling you here to discuss whether this is feasible. ”
Wang Lingwei thought for a while and said: "I have no objection to building the group's own headquarters building, which is what every large company has to do." ”
Li Haoyu asked, "So the company's financial situation allows us to start building the headquarters building?" ”
Wang Lingwei frowned and said: "It depends on what kind of building we build, this year our group has a profit of 1.5 billion US dollars on the side of the mythical Yunguang Company, Lingyun Sword has almost 1 billion yuan in the public beta for half a year, Jingyuan Century's current profit has more than 1.3 billion US dollars, Capcom has a profit of more than 20 million US dollars after the acquisition, and other games such as Sword Network III and Tiandi Fengyun have a total of millions of US dollars in profits. However, our group still needs 500 to 800 million US dollars as liquidity and R&D funds, and there are still more than 1 billion US dollars left. ”
Li Haoyu has not paid much attention to the accounts of the Mythical Group, and now he can't help but be surprised when he hears Wang Lingwei say this: "We have so much profit this year? ”
Wang Lingwei said proudly: "Of course! At present, the profits of the mythical Yunguang company are very stable, and before this kind of anti-theft technology appears in the whole world, we can have a stable income of more than one billion dollars every year. Starry Night Studios is also very profitable as long as it can make good games, and the money made by other studios can still keep our group running. ”
Li Haoyu nodded, since the company has enough funds, then it can't be too stingy in building the headquarters building, and said: "Then use two billion dollars to build this mythical building that belongs to us, in short, we want to build a super building that is beautiful and practical." ”
Wang Jingshi said at this time: "Chairman, is it too much to spend two billion dollars to build a headquarters building?" The cost of the newly completed China Overseas Center Building is only 14.8 billion yuan, which is less than 2.5 billion US dollars when converted into US dollars. ”
Li Haoyu now has no concept of money, money is just a set of numbers for him, after listening to Wang Jingshi's words, he feels that there are roads, and the mountain city is not suitable for building too tall buildings, so he said: "Then 1.5 billion US dollars, the design plan of the building is tendered to the whole world!" ”
On the eve of 2015, players were looking forward to the new online game Xishan Swordsman Legend of the Mythical Group and the new generation of network accelerator of Xunyou.
Myth Group will build a headquarters building with a total cost of 1.5 billion US dollars, named Myth Building, and is now open to bidding for architectural design teams and companies in the world!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
The Mythical Group is too rich!
If you build a headquarters building, you plan to spend 1.5 billion US dollars, which is close to 10 billion yuan when converted into RMB.
Generous!
Absolute generosity!
Even the cost of Tencent's headquarters building is only a few hundred million yuan, which is a fraction of the headquarters building of the People's Republic of China compared with the largesse of the Mythical Group.
It's the same company, and the gap between the headquarters building is so big!
