Chapter Eighty-Three: East Lake Pavilion Studio

Remember [Martial Arts β™‚ Γ· in a second? Textβ˜†η½‘.], update fast, no pop-ups, free to read!

Although the main team of Xishanju is still responsible for the online version of Swordsman, the others will not be idle, and there are two game planning scripts in front of them.

One is derived from the martial arts master Gu Long's "Meteor Butterfly Sword", although this one is not magnificent, but the characters are distinct, and the audience of this book is also quite wide, which is more suitable for adaptation into a game, and will be developed using the engine platform of Unreal Engine 1.

Now LAN battle type games, in addition to the fiery Half-Life, are interstellar, Warcraft, sci-fi, magic-themed games, or Red Alert produced by Electronic Arts. All of them are monopolized by Western companies, and Chen Bo wants to make a breakthrough in this, so as to use this enduring game to create a brand effect for Xishanju.

Another point is that after Gu Long's death, there was a long period of dispute due to continuous copyright ownership disputes, and during this time, there were many adapted film and television dramas that were launched one after another, evading a lot of copyright fees.

Chen Bo didn't want to take advantage of this, but to use this article to build momentum for Xishanju, this name is not only familiar to gamers, but also should be spread in the martial arts circle.

Martial arts and mythology will definitely be the theme of Chinese games in the future, and from now on, we should lay the foundation for the path we will take in the future.

The other plan is adapted from the classic game Bomberman's "Bubble Hall", which is more like a casual game tailored for Tenxun, not only boys can play, but girls can also play, which is also a work that fills the gap in the female market.

Bubble Hall is a pure 2D Q version of the image, which is relatively simple to develop and will be more worry-free.

It is obviously detrimental to the positioning under the name of Xishanju, so the selection of people from it to set up a separate studio, this naming right was handed over to them to choose by themselves, but they did not expect that they discussed for a long time and actually named Donghu Pavilion, obviously to challenge the rhythm of Xishanju.

In the future, the three studios will only produce games, and all the operations will be handed over to Tencent.

Although the casual game hall operated by Tencent has not yet begun to charge, hundreds of thousands of players are online every day, which has already illustrated the innate factors in game operation, that is, user viscosity and super traffic.

This is incomparable to any company, ants are just search tools, users find what they want and jump out of the circle of ants, and the stay time is not long.

QQ is different, as long as it is a user who is on the Internet, it is almost the first to open the little penguin, and chatting with QQ has been the hottest Internet hot word in 2001.

Under the instruction of Chen Bo, Tencent and Galaxy Culture signed a cooperation agreement, all online games produced by Tencent will be operated by Tencent agents, 30% of the profits will belong to the producer, and the remaining 70% will belong to Tencent.

Tencent will be responsible for the server, publicity, promotion, operation and other links. Subsequently, the official website of Xishanju released the production plan of "Swordsman Love Online" for the first time, as well as the cooperation with Tengxun, which undoubtedly put another pebble into the long-quiet Internet rivers and lakes.

Xishanju immediately issued another notice that it will produce a 3D version of the LAN battle game "Meteor Butterfly Sword", which is expected to cost no more than 100 yuan. And state that because the copyright ownership is unclear, please contact the producer to solve such problems.

As soon as this statement came out, it instantly pushed the high-frequency hot word Xishanju to the homepage of Ant Search, and the search volume reached more than 100,000.

Both martial arts fans and game fans are excited, and finally there can be a domestic LAN battle game, the swordsman produced by Xishanju has been synonymous with high-quality products before, and this time it will definitely not disappoint.

And all the employees in Xishan Ju are even more excited, and the successive combination punches are enough to make them proud, and now they want people to have money, and they feel that they can brag with their peers without blushing and their hearts are not beating.

If they wait until Unreal Engine is taken down, I don't know what they'll think.

Seeing that the morale of Xishan was high, Chen Bo and Zou Tao repeatedly told them to leave Hengqin and return to Pengcheng.

This time I left, I was floating outside for more than 3 months, if it wasn't for the good foundation laid before, otherwise the company would be in chaos.

There are fresh faces everywhere, and the whole group seems to be on the highway this year, and Guangtengxun has soared from more than 30 people last year to 300 now, which has increased tenfold. After the sale of Sky, the original team has moved to Building 4 and continues to operate the website of Autohome.

Building 2 is home to the Ant Search and Foxmail teams, which are fully operational and also have a population of 180 people.

Building 3 belongs to Dingdong and MP3 R&D labs, and the speed of expansion is not very strong, but there are almost 100 people.

In addition to Pengcheng, Yanjing also has two branches of Tengxun and Ant, beautiful music network. In total, there are about 1,000 people.

Last year, it was still a big cat, two or three kittens, and in just one year, there were already so many people, which was really emotional. Chen Bo feels that the burden on his shoulders is also heavier, so that all employees can maintain interest in the heavy work, and can grow from the work and earn income proportional to the effort, which is naturally the primary responsibility of the head of the group.

Now we are already facing a big problem, and if there are new projects, there is not much space. If you have workstations next to each other like other companies, you can install another 1,000 people.

But now in order to maintain sufficient clearance, the private space between each employee is relatively large, Chen Bo has always believed that in order to maintain sufficient creativity, first of all, they must not be crowded together like pigeons, so he has always followed the pattern of large space.

The need for self-built office buildings is imminent, but it will not be solved in a short time.

Tencent's customer service center will be built in Rongcheng, Sichuan Province, and by the way, a gateway sub-station in Xichuan Province will be established. The East China branch of Tencent Game Platform and Tencent Network is located in Shanghai. After all, the portal requires the most manpower, and the number of users is growing too fast, and the corresponding number of employees must also be increased exponentially.

Another reason is that the bandwidth resources of the entire Pengcheng are occupied by Tengxun and Ant, and the speed of broadband infrastructure is already very fast, but compared with the development speed of the two companies, it cannot win at all.

Therefore, the business is properly diverted, and then the external data center has become the best solution now, and then slowly find a suitable office space, this base camp is obviously unable to handle the operation of the entire group company.

After Chen Bo came back, he immediately devoted himself to intense and busy work, and made some adjustments to the positions within the group.

He was very dissatisfied with the progress of Dingdong this year, the speed was as slow as a snail, and it took more than half a year to build the website. Although he also has a certain responsibility, and his usual attention to this place is too little, but now the appearance of being half-dead is really a little too annoying.

Zhou Botao is the chief assistant and the executive president of Dingdong.com, and he is fully responsible. Su Chenghao was transferred to the office of the board of directors as a special assistant.

Chen Bo planned to take him personally, and although he was a little unenlightened about this conscientious young man, he was still very optimistic.

He still doesn't believe in this evil, even if it's a stone, he has to change into a monkey.

Anyway, he is also short of a helper now, so he can learn more and adapt to the rotation with him. In terms of the capable, the mediocre is a normal thing in the workplace, and if he is depressed just by taking his position, there is really no need to continue to cultivate, which is also a kind of training for him.

Fortunately, Su Chenghao did not have any dissatisfaction, but honestly followed Chen Bo to learn. Most of the time, Chen Bo was like Di Renjie asking Yuan Fang, and he would always ask Su Chenghao what he thought, not that he was deliberately lazy, but that he intended to cultivate Su Chenghao's ability to do things and think.

Internet thinking is extremely important in the company's business process, rapid expansion to seize the market, improve user awareness and experience are all in the race against time, to seize the fleeting opportunity.

Now the future of the e-commerce model is relatively slim, and it cooled down quickly after two years of heat, so Chen Bocai did not rush to succeed but threw it to Su Chenghao and asked him to explore. Although Dingdong is now half-dead, it is not that there is no room to come back to life, there is still time, just use this time to cultivate Su Chenghao.

"This is an engineering machine sent by Lenovo Labs, take a look." Su Chenghao pushed the door in and came in, holding a white player in his hand.

It is the same size as a cigarette box, and the thickness is slightly thinner, although in Chen Bo's opinion, this MP3 is not in his eyes at all, but in the current era, this is already the pinnacle of design.

Samsung released an MP3 in the first half of this year, weighing only 28g and 64MB of flash memory if you don't count the battery. But the price is as high as more than 2,500 yuan. According to the estimated cost of the laboratory, it is about 500 at most.

And now this player in Chen Bo's hand is amazing enough, 128MB of flash memory, enough to support about 70 songs, because it uses ACC decoding chip, it can be compatible with MP3, and the corresponding space is relatively small. The 1.5-inch color CSTN LCD screen, although it is only 2048 colors, is enough to kill the black and white LCD screen display.

The shell design uses the piano baking paint process, the surface is smooth and round, the streamlined shape is very good, and the feel is very good.

In fact, from the beginning of the year to the beginning of the year, countless plans have been overturned, all of which have been ruthlessly killed by Chen Bo, until now I can finally come up with a work that is still pleasing to the eye.

"What is the most important thing about a consumer digital product?" Chen Bo asked Su Chenghao.

"Cool, dynamic, versatile."

"Well, that's a good point. But that's only part of the story, the most important thing is the user experience. Chen Bo nodded and said, "If you have time, you can communicate with Li Xingping, don't look at his low education, but the products he makes are welcomed by tens of millions of users." Because he thinks from the perspective of an ordinary user, what am I used to? What is needed? Like what? ”

"Okay, I see." Su Chenghao replied that he didn't say much, and spent most of his time thinking, chewing and digesting the information that Chen Bo passed on to him.

"Reply to Lab, this player passed. Contact the manufacturer to make 100 32MB engineering machines. Chen Bo handed the gadgets in his hand back to Su Chenghao.
