Chapter 109: The international version is officially launched
Yes, this is the acquired Blizzard! Fang Ping said a little excitedly.
In his previous life, Fang Ping was a Warcraft fan, and now he not only came to the headquarters of the Warcraft development company Blizzard, but also acquired Blizzard and became his own company.
It's hard for him not to get excited.
Su Xiaoxiao noticed Fang Ping's excitement and said in amazement: "But this company..."
"Tiny, I know what you mean, but that's what Blizzard is all about!"
Fang Ping said with a smile: "It is precisely because of the paranoia of Blizzard employees about games that they have developed one hot and hotter boutique game after another. ”
"But how did I hear that Blizzard often likes to skip tickets?" Su Xiaoxiao asked rhetorically.
Fang Ping was speechless, indeed, almost all of the games developed by Blizzard are high-quality products. But there is also a very bad habit, which is to skip tickets.
And it's not one or two bounces, it's a frequent bounce.
Every time a new game is released, when it's time for the game to be launched, they always find excuses to postpone the launch. The tortured players, and the investors behind the dead and alive.
In response to this, Fang Ping also greeted the Blizzard game development team in his previous life.
Su Xiaoxiao pouted: "I didn't know why Blizzard jumped the ticket before, but now that I came to Blizzard, I finally understood!" ”
"With their casual work style, they can develop games on time, and there are ghosts!"
"Ahem... You can't say that, bounce tickets are bounces, as long as the game is recognized by users, it's fine! Fang Ping coughed dryly.
"Boss, what's the problem?"
When Su Xiaoxiao was about to speak, he saw Fang Ping talking, and Mike, who couldn't understand him, said suspiciously.
Fang Ping returned to normal, smiled and said in Mi Mandarin: "I told my secretary that Blizzard is great. ”
"I think so too, we at Blizzard will always be this one in the gaming world!" Mike gave a thumbs up with pride and pride.
Fang Ping smiled and said, "Mike, I heard that World of Warcraft has been developed, when are you going to launch it?" ”
"You... How do you know that World of Warcraft development is complete? ”
Mike's eyes widened for a moment.
Yes, World of Warcraft has been in secret development for many years and has been developed recently.
But the point is a secret.
The news of the development of World of Warcraft, Mike has been kept strictly secret, including the parent company before the acquisition, and only a limited number of people know about it.
He originally planned to announce the development plan of World of Warcraft at the end of the month.
It's just a development plan.
Unexpectedly, Fang Ping actually knew the news that the development of World of Warcraft had been completed.
For a moment, Mike wondered if the company's Warcraft development team had leaked the news, but he thought that the company's employees were extremely obsessed with games and didn't pay much attention to other things, so he dismissed this speculation.
Fang Ping shrugged: "Don't care how I know, you tell me, when are you going to launch World of Warcraft?" ”
"Well, since you already know the boss, I won't hide it from you!"
Mike glanced at Fang Ping deeply, and said, "I'm going to announce the development plan of Warcraft at the end of the month. After holding the first Blizzard Global Elite Invitational with Gaoguo at the beginning of next year, Warcraft will start the BETE test! ”
"The launch time is expected to be at the end of next year."
Sure enough, it was the same as the previous life.
Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, and said, "Then where did you arrange the initial release place?" ”
"From Beimi Chau, of course!" Mike said rightly.
"I want to add a new place where Warcraft will be released, is it okay?"
Fang Ping smiled and finally said what was in his heart.
The reason why he suddenly mentioned Warcraft was to let Mike increase Huaguo and become the starting country of Warcraft.
This is not only out of its own strategic considerations, the agency of Warcraft in China, but also for the benefit of Warcraft fans in China.
In his previous life, he had been looking forward to every time a new version of Warcraft was released, so that he could bring Huaguo and become the first country of Warcraft.
It's a pity that this wish has never been fulfilled.
Every time Warcraft is released, it starts from the Western country, and it can be as short as half a year or as long as more than a year before it comes to China.
In this life, Blizzard is already his company, so he naturally has to use privileges to satisfy the regrets of his previous life.
Mike was surprised: "BOSS, do you want Warcraft to be released in China at the same time?" ”
"yes, that's what I meant!" Fang Ping did not hide it.
Mike frowned: "However, Warcraft is now in English, and in order to be released in China at the same time, a Chinese version must be developed." With such a large amount of work, it is difficult to guarantee that Warcraft will be released on time! ”
"It's not difficult, you give me the agency of Warcraft Huaguo, and I will arrange for someone to participate in the development of the Chinese version!" Fang Ping waved his hand.
Mike almost instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking that it was Fang Ping, the company's biggest boss, who was speaking, he thought about it, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You are the boss, you have the final say!" ”
"Then it's decided, I'll arrange for someone to come to Blizzard and participate in the development of the Chinese version of Warcraft. When the time comes, it will be released simultaneously with Warcraft in Beimizhou! Fang Ping made the final decision.
"No problem!"
Mike opened his mouth, finally left a sentence, and took Fang Ping around the company, and made a special trip to see the Warcraft that had been developed.
and invited Fang Ping to play together.
That night, Fang Ping still funded and held a party, inviting all the employees of Blizzard to have a good night.
The next day, Fang Ping took the label of a generous boss by Blizzard employees, and flew back to San Francisco with Su Xiaoxiao and others to stay in the hotel.
As soon as he entered the hotel room, Fang Ping arranged: "Feng Ziyue, you know what I said to Mike yesterday!" After the international version of Future Space is launched, you can take the time to arrange and organize a game development team to enter Blizzard and develop the Chinese version of Warcraft! ”
"Boss, why should we organize our own team? Instead of letting them develop with an original team? Feng Ziyue was puzzled.
Fang Ping shrugged: "Their work style, you have already seen it, counting on them to develop the Chinese version, Warcraft may not be able to go online when it will be!" ”
"If they drag on for a day, it will cost me an extra day. With that time and money, it is better to rebuild a Chinese version development team! ”
"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it when I go back!" Feng Ziyue certainly understood what Fang Ping meant, snickered twice, and nodded.
"Okay, you don't have to accompany me in the past two days, concentrate on preparing for the launch of the international version of the future space, and make sure that nothing goes wrong!"
Fang Ping waved his hand, explained a few more sentences to Feng Ziyue, and sent Feng Ziyue away.
In the next two days, Fang Ping, accompanied by Su Xiaoxiao, took a tour of the tourist attractions in San Francisco.
Until this day, the international version of Future Space was launched.
Fang Ping and Su Xiaoxiao came to the Mi branch again.
Feng Ziyue and others of the Mi Guo branch have been waiting for the time to come.
Entering the branch, Fang Ping asked, "How is it?" You ready? ”
"Mr. Fang, rest assured, the website has been optimized many times, and the international version of Future Payment has also been embedded into the wallet of the international version of Future Space, and the server and other aspects are also ready!"
Feng Ziyue nodded: "In an hour, the international version of Future Space will be officially launched!" ”
Fang Ping nodded, chatting with Feng Ziyue and the others, while also looking forward to the registration and cash delivery activity from the future generations, which would open the eyes of the people of the United States.
At the same time, the bigwigs of the major Internet companies in Silicon Valley are also in their respective office areas, waiting for the real-name social giants from Huaguo to land in the future space of the United States.
To be honest, when Future Space exploded in China, they already knew about Future Space, a real-name social product, but out of pride, they felt that the United States was the center of the Internet, and they didn't look down on it.
It wasn't until the international version of Future Space landed in the United States and cooperated with the mainstream TV stations in the United States to advertise and promote the registration and cash delivery activities, which attracted their attention.
After all, not everyone has the ability to take out a hundred million dollars to carry out activities.
In particular, this way of registering to send cash has not yet appeared in the United States.
It is like opening a new door to the promotion of Internet products.
They also want to see if the sign-up cash giveaway campaign works, and by the way, see if there is any threat to their company's products in the future.
Gradually, time passed.
An hour later, the international version of Future Space was officially launched.
