Chapter 105: The Flood!

"After explaining the external strategy, let's talk about the internal affairs of the company!"

In addition to discussing how to quickly expand the ecosystem, this "pan-entertainment" strategic meeting was also a quarterly summary to report on the company's internal work.

"Mr. Zhong." Zhang Xiaolong, who had been listening, stood up and began to explain the work at hand.

"The initial version of WeChat has been developed, but it doesn't have the small features that are attractive enough for users."

"If it's a feature that was said at the end of the last quarter, it can be put on hold." Zhong Zixingxi thought for a moment and said.

Those functions such as shake and people nearby can be released little by little in the later version update, as a means to attract users, after all, it is easy to be imitated and changed to go online.

"Moments, official accounts and other functions are also under development, and it is expected that in two months, the first version of WeChat can be distributed on major platforms." Zhang Xiaolong said.

"Two months, just in October during the National Day."

The two major groups founded by Zhong Zixing have only taken such a little time, if it is the National Day in October, it is just the first anniversary, and the launch of WeChat at that time is also a good sign.

Weibo is the pillar of the PC side to maintain the ecology and deliver user traffic to other platforms, so WeChat is the pillar of the mobile phone, and its importance is self-evident.

These two traffic platforms are the key to the pan-entertainment group, once WeChat is launched, the pan-entertainment ecology on the mobile Internet is equivalent to tearing a hole.

"Mr. Yao, how is the game development of your game department?"

After Zhang Xiaolong finished reporting, Yao Xiaoguang stood up.

"Glory of Kings began to blossom all over the world, it is currently the hottest competitive game, and minecraft, a sandbox game, limited by the current network transmission efficiency, there are only about 200,000 people playing in China, and the download on foreign platforms has begun to explode, and the average number of online users has broken 2 million."

The efficiency of information transmission is indeed a huge problem that restricts the development of Internet technology, and even if their cloud technology undertakes some hardware functions, it cannot make up for the problem of network transmission.

"Hmm......" Zhong Zixing pondered for a while, "The quality of the game must not be reduced, this is our bottom line, but the game's long-range map can be blurred or flattened, and the amount of information can be relatively reduced." ”

The blurring of the distant map is the practice of many large games, because sending a remote 3D image to you at one time not only requires a wide channel, but also a burden on the configuration.

A game card has no problems with network, hardware, or vulnerabilities.

However, blurring the game will make people feel that the quality will be reduced, so only the close-up scene is clear, and the distant view plus the cloud, fog, rain and snow effect will make the game more realistic, reduce the amount of information, and run more smoothly.

"The company is already working on this, and the results will come soon." Yao Xiaoguang nodded.

"DNF's sinicization problem, the game department has also completed all the overtime and points, and it will be launched in August."

"The above are all games that have been developed, and the unfinished PUBG is expected to take about half a year, and the game rules delegated by the domestic review department cannot be pornographic, positive, and bloody, and we have revised them in this regard."

The conditions for passing the review must be paid attention to, which is the first rule for game producers.

Originally, when Teng Xun acted as an agent for PUBG, all aspects had been taken care of, just waiting for the version number to be decentralized, but the review of this link waited for a very long time, and waited until the game was almost cold, and after a major change of name, it was successfully launched on the mobile phone, no matter how many users there were, it was in the internal beta state.

What's going on, no one knows.

Some industry insiders suspect that some game companies are behind the scenes and want to prevent the game from being launched, but they did not specify who it is.

After all, the popularity of PUBG has always been high, and once it enters the market, it will definitely squeeze the living space of many games.

"10 years online?" Zhong Zixing nodded to indicate that he understood, after the game was launched, it could be released on foreign pan-entertainment game platforms to test the water first.

"There's another important point." Yao Xiaoguang did not sit down immediately after the report.

"You say."

"We had the idea of making an epic mythological game masterpiece "The Flood" internally, and this idea was proposed by Mr. Zhong."

"Keeping all players on the same server, and giving intelligence to all NPCs in the game, allows them to move freely in the game, sets a beginning for the game, corrects erroneous data that deviates from the game's established route at any time, and leaves everything else up to the player."

Game makers dream of making this kind of game, but the technology is too difficult to achieve, and even if there is technology, it will take a long time.

"That's true, I had the idea at the time!" Zhong Zixing said.

Seamless maps, servers with 10,000 people competing on the same stage, these technologies pay enough price, and use server matrices or supercomputers to run them, and when the 4G era comes, Zhong Zixing can realize these ideas.

Giving NPC intelligence is by far the easiest, setting a grand world view, and countless plot character networks can also be realized in time.

The only thing that restricts ideas is the problem of the Internet, and the times have always limited one's creativity and ideas.

"You can set up the project first, and hone the technology first." Zhong Zixing reminded.

"Understood!" Yao Xiaoguang nodded and said: "Zhang Yijun is accumulating technology in stand-alone games, and he proposed that he needs to accept a large number of game plot setting personnel, as well as a team that has done classical martial arts or Xianxia games, it is best to acquire Xishanju, who is experienced in this area." ”

"West Mountain House? Let me think. Zhong Zixing pondered for a long time and decided to contact Rebus to ask him if he could match the acquisition of this game company, and by the way, ask him how the mobile phone company he was preparing was planning.

"What about the Finance Department?"

"Mr. Zhong."

Hu Lijuan, who was in charge of finance, got up, took a large stack of documents in her hand, and began to report the company's financial problems for this quarter.

"First of all, the money obtained from the last financing, the acquisition of Xizi Building, online game DNF, online literature, laying the e-sports industry, purchasing music copyrights, TV and movie copyrights, investing in 6 game companies, etc., a total of 12 billion was used."

"1.8 billion yuan will be used to pay for the cloud services, databases and artificial intelligence, semi-finished game engines and other related cooperation of Neutron Star Technology Group, and it is expected that it will be used faster in the next period of time."

The next various investment and acquisitions of the strategy department, plus the establishment of major business units, the expansion of the ecosystem, and the research and development of projects, this huge financing money should be burned out next year.

But......

"The company's revenue is also very good, with 1 billion in advertising on the whole platform, 400 million on the music platform, 5.5 billion on the game platform's own game revenue, 500 million on the games uploaded by other game companies, and the novel platform has just been incorporated into the statistics."

Pan Entertainment Group has become more and more close to the Internet giant.
