Cao Ruoruo saw that Ye Shenxi was also there, and said casually: "Mr. Ye is also here, right?" ”

Regardless of whether Ye Shenxi comes or not, since she has met, she always has to invite her.

The various groups of the herring fish network will have regular dinners and engage in some activities, and the funds are of course allocated by the financial side, and each group has activity funds every month.

Sure enough, Ye Shenxi said: "I won't come, I guess everyone won't be able to have fun, you guys have fun." ”

Cao Ruoruo said: "No, Mr. Ye, tonight is not a staff gathering, but a gathering of heads of several departments and team leaders, don't you know?" ”

It turned out to be not the kind organized by the company.

In addition to the staff gathering, the team leaders of the herring network will get together on their own to communicate and contact feelings, of course, everyone is still young, and dinner and entertainment activities are also the main content of the party.

This is also the tradition of the herring network, even if the company does a big thing in the future, the leaders of various departments should also get together regularly, from November last year, Ye Xia and the two invited P03 to P05 project Li Zhi, Cao Kai and Ji Zhe three project directors to the teahouse to drink tea extended activities, the significance is to strengthen the cooperation of various departments of the company, to avoid like some other large companies, go their own way, and even internal friction.

Yang Shu is now the only artist in P06, although there is no clear title, and she is also hung in the art group, but she is only responsible for P06's things, and in a practical sense, it can be regarded as the main beauty of P06, and the main beauty of the newcomer.

The title of the employees of the herring network is much more down-to-earth than many other companies, generally low, this is the organizational structure defined by the summer herring in October last year, but the company is developing too fast, the number of people is soaring, and the organizational structure should be adjusted again.

According to Cao Ruoruo and Li Zhi, in other companies, they should actually be called art directors or project directors and product managers, although they do now exercise the rights and responsibilities of art directors and product managers.

"No one really told me about it." In the past, Ye Shenxi would also participate in this kind of leadership gathering.

"I guess I thought you knew." Cao Ruoruo said.

"Okay, let's go over after work." Ye Shenxi said, and then said to Yang Shu: "Let's set the scene, that's all." ”

"Okay." Yang Shu said.

"I'll send you your characters, items, and all these art needs, you can see." Ye Shenxi asked.

"I see it."

"Then go ahead. I will not be in the company for a while, anyway, if you have any questions, please contact me at any time, email or phone. ”

"Hmm."

……

When I got off work in the afternoon, in a private villa club in the south of the city, the heads of the entire herring R&D department gathered here, except for those who really couldn't leave the house, P01 to P06, plus the platform, a total of 12 people.

It's not the first time they have come to this clubhouse, Ye Shenxi, a courtyard house with blue bricks and powder walls and eight square eaves, and it is still a classical garden with a small bridge and flowing water. The murmuring water, the flowers and trees, and the green bamboo and grass scattered on the roadside, in a place like Funan, a private garden with a classical flavor of the south of the Yangtze River has been built, which is a tranquil feeling, and it is also a place where some elites love to come.

Enter the private room and sit down, around the dining table, this is the core group of the herring network, although they are all heads, but the heads are also divided into sizes, like Li Zhi, when Ye Shenxi is not there, he is in charge of the company's daily affairs, and it is estimated that the next time the organizational structure is adjusted, he should be promoted to the position of vice president, and there are also the main processes of a single department or P06 in the sense of Yang Shu.

The average age is 29 years old, and the age gap is also quite large, both Li Zhi, a 35-year-old middle-aged man, has dragged his feet, but fortunately, there are 21-year-old young people like Yang Shu who inject vitality into the average age figure.

"Are you going to talk to those single-player game developers about joining the platform?" In the waiter's serving room, Cao Ruoruo asked.

Tan Xun from the platform department must know about this, she just heard a little, and she is not very clear about many things that the company wants to start building a stand-alone platform.

"Yes, half a month at the earliest, and a month at the latest." Ye Shenxi said.

Cao Kai, the producer of P04 "Dandantang", and Ji Zhe of P05 "Seven Heroes" are actually still a little worried, and I don't know if the company's focus will be on terminal games or stand-alone games in the future, and since the three were established in November last year, the company has not opened a new web game project for a while.

But it's okay now, after all, these web games are still the company's economic pillars, and the four web games can bring more than 100 million revenue to the company every month.

The gaming platform is the next big step for the company, and this strategy is well known to all of you.

The dishes were all served, and Ye Shenxi said: "Let's eat first, and talk while eating." Then he took the lead in moving the chopsticks, and everyone followed suit.

"Today, I just want to communicate with you about the future development direction of the company." These things have always been discussed between him and Xia Qingyu, and he hasn't communicated with the team well.

"There are several directions for the company to go next. The first is "Eternal War", this game is known to be operated globally, the first stop to go overseas is South Korea, and now we are talking to companies there about mergers and acquisitions, like this fast-growing, high-potential market, we will operate independently. ”

There was still a bit of an uproar in the field, everyone knew that the company was developing rapidly, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, was it able to carry out such a high-end operation, and it was directly a merger and acquisition of a Korean game company.

You must know that China's online games have largely relied on South Korea's imported games to develop, and South Korea's impression of being a big game exporter in their eyes is now being exported by itself.

Frankly, I'm quite proud.

"In this year's ESCL Global Finals, we will also negotiate with Sansang and Jujian to let "Eternal War" join the competition project, but we have no foundation at all in the world, and it is more likely that it is a performance project, so as to open up a big market like Europe and the United States."

"When we become a truly international company and have our own foundation overseas, our games will also enter those markets. Li Zhi, Cao Kai, Ji Zhe, the task on you will be heavier at that time. ”

"That's fine." The attitude of a few page game producers is still a little excited.

"Overseas operating costs are lower than those in China, and the player lead through some social software is much more important, rather than relying mainly on self-traffic and advertising like in China."

"There is also a platform where everyone is more concerned about this, and here I will also give you a stone hammer. In the future, the company's goal is to become a large-scale international game production and distribution company, not limited to online games, PC stand-alone, and console games. ”

"Eh, you guys are eating and listening." Ye Shenxi looked at these people who all stopped and listened.

"Ahh The crowd hurried to pick up the vegetables again.

"Are we going to make a big single-player game in the future?" Ji Zhe asked, in fact, for many domestic gamers, large-scale stand-alone games are things that exist in the yearning.

"Yes." Ye Shenxi replied directly.

Yang Shu actually interjected: "3A games? She'd heard that word.

"Ha, 3A games, what is 3A games?" Ye Shenxi asked.

I think you've heard of this term, but you don't know what exactly 3A means.

Li Zhidao: "I think it means investing in a game that can bring down the entire game company." ”

"Poof." Everyone is sweating, where is there such a definition, then the game company will collapse directly.

Ye Shenxi said: "Let me talk about my definition, the literal meaning is very simple, that is, the three tops, first, R&D investment, promotion budget top; second, the level of research and development is top-notch, the gameplay is somewhat innovative, and the graphics technology is in the undisputed top among the games of the same era; Third, it is very successful commercially, and has a top reputation in the market and media. That's the three-way standard. ”

"It's too difficult...... Ji Zhe said, he originally thought about it with Li Zhi, but the last two points were really a bit stressful.

"That's why it's not that easy. Some games have a large investment and good graphics, but the market has failed miserably, the reputation is not good, and the gameplay is outdated, which is not a top game. So we still have a long way to go. ”

"Three years ago, when I was in Huangpu, I discussed this with Maupassant, the head of Yubi Shanghai, and I asked him if Warcraft was a triple-A, and he just said 'good question', and then shifted the conversation to the taste of steak."

"Haha, foreigners are not as enthusiastic about online games as we are." Cao Kaidao.

"I actually wanted to talk about domestic online games at that time, but at that time, the domestic online game market was still the world of MMORPGs, but as everyone knows, it is becoming more and more difficult for MMORPGs to have innovative products. And, frankly speaking, making an online game and making a stand-alone game are two different things, and everyone should feel it deeply. ”

"What I just said is that we still have a long way to go, and I don't exactly mean the technicalities of procedural art and the like." Ye Shenxi swept over several main Cheng and Cao Ruoruo.

"Even more so with planning. I also don't want people to be able to make games forever controlled by a few values, retention, payment rate, DAU (active personage), PCU (simultaneous online), and so on, so that making games becomes making data. ”

"Li Zhi, Cao Kai, Ji Zhe, I think you should understand what I mean."

"Hmm." Several producers also nodded earnestly, a bit heavy.

Of course they understand that online games have been done for a long time, and their minds are full of these data, convenience, ease of understanding and ease of use, stimulating players, and cultivating players' game habits have become things they think about day and night.

The essence of other games is not so important.

"The significance of the platform is to pave the way for various types of stand-alone games, and there are no worries about sales and publicity, but whether we can make fun games that are recognized by the market and players depends on ourselves."

"Will it be released globally then?" Ji Zhe asked again.

"Of course."

Can Ye Shenxi tell them that the overseas operation of "Eternal War" is just paving the way for the platform. 2510
