"Well, you can't just listen to me, you have to give me a brief overview of what's going on inside Blizzard right now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Liu Anran said with a smile as he looked at everyone.

"Now we have two teams in our company, and the headquarters is responsible for the follow-up development of StarCraft and Warcraft, two real-time strategic games. The Skaif brothers, on their part, were mainly responsible for the development of the Diablo series. "Mike? Mo Huaimi spoke.

"If we were to develop an online game, we would have to set up a separate team. And because the structure of the online game is relatively large, the number of people in this group should not be small, at least 40 to 50 people. ”

"And if you really want to host the competition, there are some people in the company to arrange this work. Now the company's character is not enough to equip it, and if you want to take into account the need to recruit 30 people. ”

Developing an online game Mike? Mo Huaimi didn't think there was anything wrong, Liu Anran said that he was very profitable in Huaxia's game company, and Blizzard could also try this.

It's just that online games are different from real-time strategy games, and online games need a group of people to maintain the game in the later stage. The total number of people in Blizzard is less than 200 now, and if all these jobs are launched, it will be impossible not to recruit people.

However, when it comes to recruiting new employees, whether it is the headquarters or Blizzard North, they are all cautious. It's better to be lacking than to be overused, not someone who loves games and likes games, no matter how good your skills are, you won't recruit.

"Recruit people, you recruit yourself. Including the development of the game, you are responsible for all of this. Liu Anran nodded and said.

"You let me make movies and play games, and that's fine. If I am asked to make a game, no matter how much money I put in front of me, I can't do it. Neither I nor Edward interfere in Blizzard's R&D. Because we don't understand games, you are the ones who do, so these are your things. ”

"Even in the rest, we will not give you strong orders. Because it could interfere with Blizzard creating its own culture, we're just going to give advice. ”

"Blizzard is very low-key now, and even if I hadn't seen the logo at the company's headquarters, I wouldn't have thought of such a low-key building, and such a low-key employee in the building is the one who has developed so many classic games."

"You're a group of people who are only focused on technology, and maybe you think it doesn't matter what the company's headquarters looks like, as long as you have an office and a few computers, you can do all the work. But I don't really agree with this idea. ”

"The headquarters of a company represents the image of the company. A good office environment will affect the work mood of employees. The current Blizzard is not the Blizzard you were when you were first established, it is already a big company, and a big company must have the image of a big company. ”

"So, I had a proposal to build a new corporate headquarters and merge the current headquarters with Blizzard North. It doesn't matter if the managers continue to use the current one, or you can re-elect it after discussion, and we will not interfere. At the very least, this will allow us to put our resources together and work in an efficient system. ”

Hearing Liu Anran's words, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little silent.

In fact, Liu Anran is still very depressed, these people can be regarded as technical nerds, if you discuss technical issues with them, it doesn't matter if they chat with you for three days and three nights, but when it comes to the company's operations, they would rather choose to be silent than willing to express their opinions.

There were a lot of people sitting in the room, but now the two presidents and vice presidents who had direct communication with him were the two presidents and vice presidents. If you acquire another company, when it comes to the future development direction of the company, there will always be various problems. Don't be afraid if you have a problem, everyone can always solve it by communication, and today I am left to sing a one-man show.

"I know you may have concerns that the merger of the two parts will be the last vestiges of the Vulture Corporation in this world." Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Anran had no choice but to speak again.

"Actually, I don't think there's any need. The most important thing in a company is people, where to work, and under what name, is there a difference for you now? ”

"Vulture Studios has merged with Blizzard, and in any case it is now a unified company, but in a different location. Since you had thought about the merger in the first place, the purpose was to use the resources of both parties to develop better. Does it make sense to struggle with an office location? ”

"So I hope that you will seriously consider my proposal to build a modern and multi-functional headquarters. In this future headquarters, there will be several floors dedicated to the R&D department, and some floors will be the experience center and competition venue for the various games. ”

"Every game has its own characteristics and is irreplaceable. I hope that in the future, Blizzard will be the leader of the entire game industry, not just the current first-class game company. ”

"You can negotiate for yourself whether such a merger can be carried out, but the new office headquarters must be established, and this is related to the future of the company."

"Well, I've learned enough today. Originally, I didn't want to tell you about the performance of my Huaxia game company, but I'll tell you about your lack of confidence. ”

"This year's revenue is expected to exceed $150 million, with a net profit of more than $25 million. This is still a game in a country where the network is not particularly developed, and the graphics are not particularly beautiful. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Anran didn't stop any longer, he originally planned to visit various departments, because in his heart, Blizzard was also a holy place.

In later life, he liked to play World of Warcraft very much, no matter whether Blizzard jumped tickets or changed the fee system, even if he couldn't play often in the future, he would go to World of Warcraft to have a look.

But to be honest, what he saw and heard today really disappointed him. Now he thinks that the departure of the Blizzard Big Four is not necessarily due to work, on the contrary, personal reasons are greater. Although they are now a whole company, they also take care of their own things, and Blizzard North's only energy is to study Diablo.

Whether the current Blizzard can be brought together, this acquisition is an opportunity, but Liu Anran is faintly worried that his hard work may be in vain.
