Chapter 165: Cheer up again, the little ones tremble!
When Liu Neng figured out that the word "peace" could not rely on other people's charity, he became very radical.
After all, "nuclear peace" is more convincing than "peace".
Only by making these people look up to themselves convincingly, and make themselves unattainable heights in the eyes of some people, so that when they look at themselves, they will only be left with envy and jealousy, and dare not have the slightest hatred, and the idea of wanting to put him under their feet.
Therefore, to become the godfather of the game in Huaxia, Liu Neng feels that it is imperative.
He thought about the current structure of the company, and it seemed that the foundation laid before was not bad, and some things did not seem to be outdated even now. But some of the flags that were made before may now have to be changed.
He first went to Zhou Zheng and looked at the current research and development progress of the "mythical" operating system. Now that more than half a year has passed, theoretically according to this point in time, it is not enough time to make a demo of an operating system, let alone make a formed system.
But fortunately, Zhou Zheng has almost built the system architecture before, and the next thing is just to build blocks on this shelf. But even if it is building blocks, this work is not easy to do, and so far, Zhou Zheng's "Myth" project team has more than 50 people.
These more than 50 people are all senior masters in the industry, and when everyone comes over, Liu Neng gives a lot of premium. In addition, this is Shanghai, every inch of land is expensive, and the labor cost is extremely high. These more than 50 people are much higher than the total salary of the 200 people in Guanghua City. And at present, it is difficult for this project to be profitable for a while, or even a year or two.
But Liu Neng still has to do it, and he has to look further into the future, which is the best future.
The good thing is that many mobile phone companies have begun to send engineers to join in the research and development. Originally, there was no company to do this, in fact, the domestic environment and conditions are not mature, even if some people have realized that the operating system on the PC produced revolutionary productivity, and the operating system will shine on the mobile terminal in the future. However, no one in the domestic R&D, at least at the industry level, wants to do this.
There are many reasons, and the biggest reason is probably that this is a difficult bone to gnaw, the research and development time is long, and the investment is huge, and it is difficult to produce economic benefits in a short period of time. So far, Liu Neng has invested more than 100 million yuan in this area, and it can be expected that he will continue to invest hundreds of millions of funds in the future. This is probably the most direct reason why these companies will not touch this project.
They don't see the future, or they don't see the hope of a future where the mobile system will be profitable.
To put it simply, invest one or two million? That's almost the money he Liu Neng put into it in a month, and it's not even enough. Now the huge cash flow in the company is pouring into this bottomless pit. More than a dozen mobile phone companies have sent engineers to them, saving a lot of money. The salaries of these engineers are paid by those mobile phone companies.
A backbone team of nearly 10 people, plus more than 40 senior R&D engineers, and more than a dozen resident engineers, are all the R&D members of the current Myth project team.
However, these people will be the most valuable asset in the future. Even from the perspective of ibal's system R&D team, the current team of 60 people is not worried at all, and even a little more awesome than their team.
According to the current milestone, it will take about half a year before it can be officially launched for commercial use. But what they told Liu Neng was that before the end of the year, small-scale tests could be carried out and some models that could be commercially available. Most mobile phone manufacturers are resistant, but a game company called Little Pepper has said that they can try this operating system on their phones that are ready for mass production.
Pepper is a company that has just been established for a long time, and its approach is more aggressive. They used the spread of the Internet to eliminate some information gaps and gain a lot of users at a relatively cheap price. In fact, these game companies developed with Liu Neng are more hostile to Little Pepper mobile phones.
These don't matter, Liu can calculate the time, there are still a few months to go, and it is not enough to develop any large-scale games. But it seems that small games can still be tried to be developed, and strive to do it, and the mobile phone, system, and game will be launched simultaneously, at least to create a little momentum.
After roughly knocking on the cooperation method with Chu Junlei, the boss of Little Pepper Company, Liu Neng plans to start making this game by himself. This also slapped him in the face with some of his previous thoughts, such as the previous thought, he wanted to make a game in his head, and then make a game of his own. But apparently now the conditions are not very permitting.
Fortunately, the cost of trial and error is not as exaggerated as when he first came, and he has sufficient funds and conditions to do things. It's just that now Zhang Jie, Peng Shuang and Xu Jiaojiao are not around, and they can't enjoy the good time of secretly developing games together. He plans to make a simple, "Snake Wars", a simple io game that performs extraordinarily on smartphones, and is small, stand-alone, addictive, and has a short development time, which is very suitable for the current conditions and requirements.
He roughly wrote the game plan of "Snake", and the whole process took three or four days, which was not very tiring or nervous. No one else in the office will bird him, and he doesn't usually have any shelves. As I said before, in the pumping station, the office environment is open-plan, and he does not have his own independent office - this is not like Li Lizhen, in another building, Li Lizhen has her own independent office.
Liu Neng's workstation is with everyone, just like the most ordinary employee, but he has a lot of figures on his desk, and he looks rich. Many newcomers came, thinking that he was a young man, almost as a newcomer as himself, and even asked him to eat with him after getting acquainted with him.
The most interesting thing some time ago was that there was a newcomer, twenty-four or five years old, a little older than him, who whispered to him when he was eating in the canteen at noon, "I heard that our boss is also called Liu Neng, and you have a name, do you say he knows your person?" ”
Liu Neng was stunned for a moment and smiled, "He knows." ”
The other party was stunned for a moment, "Huh? Know? ”
Liu Neng nodded, "Yes, I know, when I joined the company, he knew about me." ”
"I'll go, you and our boss...... By the way, what have you been doing lately? It feels like you're a bit weird and don't ...... at your desk most of the time"
