"Complicated?"

Pretending not to understand at all, Zhang Ning asked.

"Yes, not only the entire operating system of King of Kings, but also, his story, including his entire game setup, is very complex. If it weren't for the fact that King of Kings was the first online game to be launched in China, I don't think he would necessarily be a success. Or at least, it is impossible to reach the heights that are now. In fact, I think that in the recent millennium from Korea to China, there is a faint potential to surpass the king of kings. ”

Millennium is the first Korean online game to be represented by China, and because the style has the oriental characteristics of martial arts, he has increasingly expressed his potential. Moreover, from the records of later generations, Zhang Ning also knew that the millennium had indeed surpassed the king of kings. It's just that I didn't expect that in 2001, an era when online games were just developing, this Tong Lei actually had such a vision.

I have to say that this made Zhang Ning interested in Tong Lei.

"Why do you say that, whether it is the number of people online or the fame of the brand, it cannot be compared with the king of kings. How do you think that the millennium will have the potential to surpass the king of kings? ”

"It's simple. First, the king of kings has not been able to break through 400,000 simultaneous online, and has fallen into a bottle shin. ”

"Second, major domestic online games have emerged one after another, and more will be launched in the future, and it is impossible for the king of kings to dominate alone."

Of course, if the above two points are not particularly important, then the third point is also the most crucial point. The thousand-year-old operation is much simpler than the king of kings. ”

The third point seems to go back to the question I mentioned earlier.

Zhang Ning became more and more interested in this Tong Lei, "This is very strange, is the simplicity of operation also a big advantage?" ”

"Of course, I think Mr. Zhang knows this better than us."

Blinking, Tong Lei stared at Zhang Ning.

This made Zhang Ning a little embarrassed, pretending not to understand, "How can I be clearer?" ”

"Hehe, others say that the founder of Penguin Technology is a good person, and when I saw it today, it was true."

Tong Lei said Zhang Ning a little, but soon said, "Penguin Technology's QQ can beat Tencent's OICQ, I think, in addition to launching a series of the most innovative settings, the most important feature is that it is easy to operate." ”

"How so?"

"If you really want to say it, it's that the new Internet users, they are only the first time they have access to computers, they are only the first time they have been exposed to the Internet, and they can't accept too complex products. Instant messaging is, likewise, online games. A game that is too complicated to operate, although it may be a bit more fun or interesting in some way. However, his complexity hinders most of the players. In my opinion, if the King of Kings is not too complicated to operate, with his status as the first online game, how can it not exceed 400,000 online at the same time? And the millennium, precisely because of his simple operation, caters to the love of new players. In the long run, I think that the millennium will surpass the king of kings. ”

"Not bad."

"Very good."

Zhang Ning praised again and again.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your compliment, it's just that I still have to learn more than Mr. Zhang."

looked at Zhang Ning meaningfully, as if he had already seen through Zhang Ning's thoughts.

However, Zhang Ning has been a man in two lifetimes, and he has cultivated a cheeky picture.

Looking at Tong Lei in front of him, Zhang Ning almost recruited him to Penguin Technology on the spot. However, Zhang Ning still has a question.

"I have to say, Miss Tong, some of your views coincide with mine. In my opinion, nascent online games should also go from simple to complex. It's a gradual process, and the King of Kings is too perfect. I think his setup may be used by some other game companies in a few years. However, he is not a good fit for the nascent Chinese netizens. It's just that I have a question that I don't understand. Miss Tong stayed in the big water and wood yàn room, why did she come to our Penguin Technology? ”

Could it be that our Penguin Technology is more attractive than your Mizuki Solid yàn room?

"Well, can you not talk about this?"

"No, you have to say it."

Tong Lei bit her lip, "If I say that I admire Mr. Zhang's ability, do you believe it?" ”

Zhang Ning didn't answer, but shook his head. Obviously, it means disbelief.

"Okay, actually, I want to ask Mr. Zhang about several major bugs in our 2D engine."

"You're just here to ask for this question?"

Zhang Ning was surprised

"Yes."

"Then you come and ask me directly, why do you say you want to join us Penguin Technology."

"Didn't Mr. Zhang say it, I'm not an employee of your Penguin Technology, why do you want to sue me."

"This ......"

With tears streaming down his face, Zhang Ning really said this.

Of course, this is true.

Zhang Ning sometimes looks generous, but he will only be generous for things he doesn't care about. Actually, Zhang Ning is a stingy person. It is impossible for him to sue anyone for any key technology, any technology that involves his own interests. Not to mention, someone who is not considered a friend of his own.

Unexpectedly, he rejected Tong Lei's words at that time, but dug Tong Lei over.

"So, you're a big fan of technology."

"Yes, if not, I wouldn't have been able to join the Mizuki 2D Engine Room."

"No, no, still no."

Zhang Ning suddenly thought of something and said, "I think the reason why you joined Penguin Technology is very strange, although this reason of yours is really good, I also think you have succeeded." But I still feel that this is not your real reason. I'd like to hear why you really joined Penguin. ”

"This ......"

Tong Lei fell silent.

"Isn't it convenient to say? Forget about the inconvenience, anyway, your second reason seems quite reasonable. I think you can be our master planner. ”

"No, in fact, I think that some of our Mizuki 2D engines have become pure money-making tools."

"Money makers?"

Zhang Ning didn't understand, "Although the major universities are not commercial companies, they have invested so much money in research technology, in addition to cultivating talents for the university, there are also some commercial activities, will your evaluation be too unobjective." ”

"I know, I understand this kind of business. Like, why I wanted to join Penguin as a commercial company. In my opinion, in order to achieve a certain business activity, you have to build your product completely. In other words, your product needs to be good enough, so that even if you sell for more money and generate more profits, I think this is normal. However, if your product is not good enough, or even if you know that there are many bugs in it, but you don't want to solve it, and I think it is not advisable to realize its commercial value with such a product that is not particularly qualified. ”

"Understood."

Zhang Ning somewhat understood, "In other words, you want to complete your own 2D engine as much as possible." However, there was a conflict with the entire real yàn room. Finally, you left Mizuki? ”

If this is explained, a qiē is much more reasonable.

"Yes."

Tong Lei nodded, "This also touched the reason why I wanted to enter Penguin Tech." ”

"You just trust me like that? You don't hate me, don't you? ”

Zhang Ning made a joke.

"Haha, just kidding, since Miss Tong believes in me so much, then, I think, I should also do something to make you choose to believe. We Penguin have just set up another department - Penguin Games, and there is one less person in charge at present, I don't know, would you like to do it? ”

"Ah......h

Tong Lei was dumbfounded, "You mean, let me be the CEO of your penguin game?" ”

"Let's just say that, however, Penguin Games has not yet been independent, and can only be regarded as the head of this department. If in the future, you can make Penguin Games bigger and stronger, so that even Penguin Technology has some time that it can't control you, I don't mind letting Penguin Games go out and set up a separate subsidiary. And, let you be the CEO of Penguin Games. ”

"However, I have never been the CEO of a large company before, and I have always been a deputy."

"I haven't opened a company before, and now, aren't I also the founder of Penguin Technology?"

"Shall I try then?"

Tong Lei replied weakly.

"Okay, you try, a one-year probationary period, after one year, if there are no results, I will fire you."

made a decision on the spot, and Zhang Ning promoted Tong Lei, who had quarreled with him before, to become the person in charge of Penguin Games.

A few days later.

Zhang Ning sat alone in the office playing games, indescribably idle.

"Xiao Ning, you're too idle, you just opened a branch and went out, and you're idle like this?"

Suddenly, Chen Qingqing entered the office, and when he saw Zhang Ning playing a game, he almost couldn't react.

"Sister Qing, don't make a fuss, I'm relaxing. Besides, isn't there a person in charge of Penguin Games, what do I cāo do? ”

"Xiao Ning, it's okay if you don't say this, as soon as you say it, I want to ask you. A few days ago, didn't you say that Mizuki has a woman surnamed Tong who is very annoying, this surname Tong can't be Tong Lei. ”

"Oh, it's her."

Zhang Ning did not deny it.

"No, you hate to recruit her into the company, your brain is in water?"

"Where is it, Sister Qing, hate to hate, work to work, this Tong Lei's skills are very good, and most importantly, his vision is very powerful. With such a great talent, why don't I? Besides, you see, in just the past few days, this Tong Lei has written me a few feasibility reports on online game projects, tsk, it's really good. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Ning took out the information in his hand.

"It's the same as the truth."

Chen Qingqing glanced at Zhang Ning, "Okay, okay, you can do it yourself." ”

With some dissatisfaction, Chen Qingqing left Zhang Ning's office.

"Hmph, what kind of talent, why didn't I see it, it's obvious that someone else is more beautiful."

It's just that Chen Qingqing wouldn't say it in front of Zhang Ning in this case.
