"Mr. Zhang, CF certainly has his particularity, although he is an online game, but first of all, he is a competitive game. He emphasizes technology, even if there are some guns that seem to disrupt the balance, but after research, you will find out. These guns don't upset the balance much, and it still depends on the player's operation. If the player does not operate well, even if he is given a magic spear, he may be killed by the opponent with a dagger. Moreover, CF emphasizes unity and cooperation, not to mention that these guns are not particularly balance-destroying, even if there are some balance-destroying guns, with the cooperation of the team, these balance-destroying guns do not have much influence on the entire game. ”

"Hehe, it seems that Tong Lei, you have a lot of experience in CF research. So, as a real gunfight that is the same competitive game as CF, why has it been so infamous? Moreover, they didn't make much money. ”

"That ......"

Tong Lei didn't know how to answer.

Real Gunplay is a first-person battle game that mimics CF.

However, the number of people online at the same time in this game is not high, and because of the constant sound of various props disrupting the balance, the real gunfight is becoming more and more unplayed. Although it has not yet collapsed, according to some people in the industry, in another six months, the real shootout will not be able to support.

However, after careful analysis, in fact, real gunfights are not much different from CF.

It's nothing more than that the real gunfight is not as good as CF, and in some other details, it is not good enough.

At this time, Zhang Ning compared the real gunfight, and Tong Lei really had nothing to say.

It's just that Tong Lei still said more seriously, "Mr. Zhang, the real shootout is because there are too few people to play, if they have enough players, I believe that the real shootout will also be a good competitive game." ”

"Great, then here's the problem. In other words, whether it is free or paid, as long as there are many players, then this game can operate for a long time. ”

"This ......"

Tong Lei was somewhat stunned by Zhang Ning.

However, Zhang Ning continued.

"Actually, for me, whether it's CF, or other mortal cultivators, or our current 3D game Kyushu. In my eyes, they're just online games, and there's nothing he's a competitive game, he's an RPG or something like that. Since they are online games, and besides, there are online games that have been successful in the free-to-play model. Well, this proves that the free model is feasible, even if it is used in our Kyushu. ”

"However, Mr. Zhang, if we use the free-to-play model on our traditional online game of upgrading and fighting monsters, then it will be too disruptive to the balance. So what's red, blue...... There is simply no fairness at all. If you want PK, players with big red and blue are absolutely invincible, so how can you play this game? ”

Big red and blue, that is, one key to fill up the blood.

Tong Lei still retorted.

When rebuttal, Tong Lei was still a little excited.

She would never agree to let Kyushu use the free model.

Even if Zhang Ning is the boss, he will not compromise.

"Tong Lei, don't get excited."

Zhang Ning pressed it and asked Tong Lei not to be so excited.

"Come, have a cup of tea."

Zhang Ning personally made a cup of tea for Tong Lei.

"Don't drink it."

Tong Lei didn't appreciate it, sat on the side, and got on the bar with Zhang Ning.

"If you don't drink, I'll drink."

Zhang Ning doesn't care.

"Alas, my boss is too unseemly."

While drinking tea, Zhang Ning sighed.

"Cut."

"What to cut, what I can say is true, if you change companies, how can you mix up with such an attitude.

This time, Tong Lei didn't say anything more.

Truly.

In Penguin, Zhang Ning, the boss, has never had a frame.

Although his genius is almost a youkai, he is still very peaceful.

This also made not only Tong Lei, but also the heads of Penguin's major companies, even when Zhang Ning was present, they were all arguing on the basis of reason.

However, it is really a different company.

It's really like what Zhang Ning said, how can such a guy who doesn't know how to cater to the boss last long.

Tong Lei was a little embarrassed, and her face softened slightly, "Mr. Zhang, haven't you always wanted to make the best use of your talents." If the heads of our subsidiaries know about flattery every day, it is estimated that we will really not be able to get along. ”

"Hahaha......"

Zhang Ning laughed.

"Okay, Tong Lei, you're right."

Putting down the teacup, Zhang Ning didn't mind the argument with Tong Lei just now.

Being able to maintain his own point of view for his work, and not flinching even in the face of his boss, such a talent is exactly what Zhang Ning wants.

"However, I don't agree with your claim that free-to-play games upset the balance of the game and are not fair."

"Mr. Zhang, how can you not agree. Just now I just talked about the big red and blue, and I haven't mentioned some other equipment, if you add up these RMB equipment, it will destroy the balance of the game. ”

"You say it looks right, but it's not. I'd like to ask, isn't it true that while free-to-play games upset the balance, paid games don't? Free games are not fair, is it fair in paid games? ”

"There are a lot of RMB players in free games, and there are also a lot of RMB players in paid games. Regardless of whether it is free or paid, as long as there are these RMB players, then there is no so-called balance and so-called fairness. Like the world we live in, is it fair? Not to mention the country, even in the United States, there are a lot of unfair things. If our game is incomparably balanced, incomparably fair, who will play our game? What's the fun of our games......"

"This ......"

Tong Lei was once again stunned by Zhang Ning's somewhat subversive theory.

However, it is good to catch Tong Lei who has been operating the game for many years and has accumulated a lot of experience.

Although Zhang Ning's remarks are indeed very innovative, she still said, "Mr. Zhang, you are right, whether it is a free game or a paid game, they are not absolutely fair. However, paid games are still fairer and more balanced than free-to-play games. We don't seek absolute fairness, and the original intention of making games is to create a relatively fair world. It's just that after the development of this game, as time passes, some people's level becomes higher, and some people's equipment becomes better...... The original fairness has been broken one by one, but this is not a bad thing. ”

This rebuttal made Zhang Ning speechless for a while.

It's just that Zhang Ning also has a superhuman vision for more than ten years in the future, even if Tong Lei is reasonable, Zhang Ning can still convince her.

"Well, looks like you're right. Paid games are a relative balance, and free games are relatively unbalanced. However, have you ever investigated the player's acceptance process. If most players accept this imbalance and unfairness, then, no matter how unbalanced and unfair it is, our game can still operate forever and become a classic game. ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't investigate this, many free games are because many users who haven't spent money don't play anymore, and in the end, players who have spent money don't feel interesting, so they have come to the brink of bankruptcy step by step."

"Okay, have you investigated again, where did these players who didn't spend money end up?"

"Or rather, what games did these users end up playing with these users who didn't spend any money?"

"This, has not been investigated. Like, it's not necessary. ”

"Why is it unnecessary, it's too necessary, Tong Lei, I'll advise you to investigate, and you'll understand soon."

"Mr. Zhang, I will investigate, but I still stick to my original opinion."

"No, after you investigate, you will change your original opinion."

……

"Mr. Ma, can you do me a favor?"

Tong Lei got off work and asked Ma Huateng to drink tea together.

"What's the busy, Mr. Lao Detong will come personally."

"It's just a small favor, but it's going to be your penguin instant messaging."

"Tell me, if I can help, I will definitely help."

"I want your QQ to help me do a survey, this is the survey form, those who participate in the survey, we will pay 1q coins to give thanks, and the survey share is 100,000 copies."

"I'll see."

Ma Huateng picked up the survey form and looked at it, "No problem, it's just a trivial matter, why don't you come in person, you can call me directly, and I will help you." ”

"Mr. Ma is too polite, but I feel a little tired recently, and I want to chat with Mr. Ma."

"Chat?"

Ma Huateng suddenly smiled inexplicably.

"Mr. Ma, what are you laughing at?"

"I see."

"What do you know?"

"I heard that Mr. Zhang criticized you some time ago?"

"Hey, hey, who did you listen to. It's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles. ”

Tong Lei was greatly depressed.

"Why, there really is, Mr. Zhang has always been very kind, but I didn't expect that he would really criticize people."

"He didn't criticize, but his mouth was too powerful, and he was such a monster. How can we compare to him, if he demands us every day with his own requirements, I see, in a few days I will be criticized. ”

"Hehe......"

Hearing this, Ma Huateng also smiled bitterly.

"I feel it too, but Mr. Zhang should want to tap our potential or inspire us."

"That's what I thought, otherwise, how could I do it."

"Oh yes, I recently heard that Blizzard is going to take back their Warcraft agency, and it's going to compensate you 1 billion, or dollars. Obediently, amazing, I didn't do anything, and I made $1 billion directly, this kind of good thing that fell from the sky, I can't even think of it. ”

"Don't dare to think about anything, Mr. Ma, if you were me, you would have to cry to death."

"How so? Is there a problem with this $1 billion? ”

"The problem is no problem, Blizzard is estimated to be determined to pay us this time. It's just that this payout will pay us. In the end, originally we only need to operate World of Warcraft, even if we don't operate it before, just put it there, and nothing will happen. But now it's become something, Blizzard's World of Warcraft has become our competitor. ”

"Ah......h

When Ma Huateng heard this, he finally understood why Tong Lei had been under pressure recently.

"I said, how are you going to talk to me today. However, Blizzard's strength is not blown. Their games are really amazing. I heard that Blizzard's World of Warcraft has been a great success in other countries and regions. The players who add up are almost going to be able to resist your CF, so you have to be careful. ”

"Yes, you said that I don't have a headache now, but at this time, Mr. Zhang also gave me an order to defeat the World of Warcraft. I thought, but I don't really have much to do. No, I'm here for you, and I want to do a number of surveys to see if there is a chance to think of any good ideas in other aspects. ”
