Chapter 22 We are an honest and trustworthy company with basic professional ethics
The days are longer in early summer, but by 7 p.m., it's completely dark.
But the strange penguin-shaped building was still brightly lit, and hundreds of Penguin employees were still working intensely in the building.
On the seventeenth floor of the building, an impromptu meeting is going on in a conference room with high-end decoration, but not large.
It's a small ministerial-level conference room, and there are four people sitting in it, all of whom are the heads of the Penguin game platform.
"Is that game really that good?" A slightly chubby fat man said with questions: "As you know, we are taking a high-quality operation policy, and we have cut down a lot of projects that are not up to standard in the past few months." ”
"I know." Minister Sun nodded: "But I have also played this game myself, and according to my analysis, both in terms of game quality and game completion, it has reached a very high standard." ”
"What about profit expectations?" It was Minister Song of the Penguin Game Platform Operations Department who spoke, a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses.
"This has also been analyzed in our department, and we are very optimistic about the profit expectation, and if the company can vigorously push it, it should be able to reach the first echelon." Minister Sun's tone was affirmative.
"First echelon? So exaggerated? The fat man before screamed, looking incredulous.
There are many games operating on the Penguin game platform, and the profitability of each game is naturally different, but those who have reached the "first echelon" are naturally the best among all games, and most of them are agency games.
For example, "Silver Bear Alliance", "Underground Party and Warriors", "Flying Fire" and so on, each of these games represents hundreds of millions of net profits every year, and each of them can be called a real cash cow.
This is a level of profitability that most of Penguin's self-developed boutique games cannot reach.
Hearing Minister Sun's words, except for the fat man, everyone else was also surprised, although they didn't speak, their expressions were full of disbelief.
There was no way, Minister Sun had to explain in detail: "This game is very creative, it is a new game type, and you can understand it as a simplified version of the real-time strategy game......"
After chattering for more than half an hour, Minister Sun basically explained the specific situation of the game clearly.
"Sounds a bit interesting...... "Minister Song of the Operations Department muttered, "But this type of game is also very difficult to develop, right?" Are you sure that Tianang company, which you haven't heard of, has enough technical strength? ”
"I'm sure!" Minister Sun confirmed again: "I said before, I also played on the machine myself, I played for more than 50 minutes in that game, and I played to the late stage, and there were more than 300 troop units on both sides, and then a decisive battle was held in the middle lane." Nearly 700 troops are concentrated on one screen, fighting together, and various skills are displayed randomly, but the picture still does not make people feel a little stuck! Even the frame rate has dropped just a little bit. ”
"And that's not the point, if he's using a top-of-the-line computer mainframe, it's certainly not surprising that he has such an effect. But at the time, we were testing a laptop, a low-to-mid spec laptop. We also checked,This computer is a god ship brand,Price3499element,R5 processor,1050Independent graphics card,It can only barely be regarded as a mid-range ......"
The fat man interrupted Minister Sun's words: "Slow! Could it be that they changed the configuration in the notebook? The case is a low-end version, and the configuration inside is ......"
"Don't think too stupid of our assessment team!" Minister Sun interrupted him: "Of course, we also thought of this question, but these two notebooks are indeed brand new and original, no matter from the software test, or the screw seal on the back, there is no trace of modification." ”
"Forget it, forget it, it's useless to listen to what you're talking about, let's take us to see it with our own eyes." The fat man waved his hand and prepared to stand up.
"I can't see it now, and the two laptops used for testing have been taken away by people from Tianang Company." Minister Sun shrugged.
"Taken away? What are you going to do with it? The fat man sat down again, with some anger on his face: "They don't trust us like that? That's a fart with them! ”
"It's not to blame others, who said that our Penguin Company is not very famous now, when it comes to Penguin, it is plagiarism, making it seem like a big company like us, it will not be the same at all." Minister Song next to him played a round road.
Then he turned his head and asked Minister Sun, "It's true that they took the notebook, but your assessment team didn't think to secretly copy it with a USB flash drive?" ”
"This ......" Minister Sun had a hint of shame on his face: "Of course we have tried this, but his hard disk is encrypted, this ...... It's very cumbersome to crack. If you copy the entire hard drive together, it is too time-consuming and easy to find, so ......"
At this time, a middle-aged man with a beard who had not spoken all this time spoke: "Then if we develop a game of the same type ourselves, do you think we can do better?" Or rather, how long does it take to make it? ”
"This ...... Hard. Minister Sun looked embarrassed: "Of course it is easy to copy their idea, but it is very difficult to achieve their current level!" It even takes a long time, and as I said before, their game optimization technology is excellent. ”
"How difficult is it to be very difficult? How long does it take? Be specific! "The middle-aged man with a beard is not angry and arrogant.
"Almost...... It's almost as difficult as redeveloping a game of the same quality as Silver Bear. Minister Sun sighed.
"That is to say...... Can only cooperate? "The middle-aged man with a beard doesn't look very good.
"Yes." Minister Sun nodded: "Moreover, I think that not only should we cooperate, but also cooperate very deeply!" ”
"What do you mean?" The middle-aged man was puzzled.
"Invest, invest, control!" Minister Sun was categorical.
"Are you really that optimistic about them?" The middle-aged man asked again.
"Yes!" Minister Sun said: "I am not only interested in that game, but more importantly, the technical strength they show in the game!" I think that if there is enough financial support and good development, they can even compete with the Millican Palm Company! Become the palm company of Huaguo! ”
"That's it......" After a long silence, the middle-aged man with a beard in charge of the penguin game platform nodded: "Okay, then you will be responsible for this matter personally!" Go back and write me a detailed report! Alright, adjournment! ”
As soon as he spoke, the matter was closed, and everyone left the conference room.
