Chapter 063: Overlord Clause

When the hardware of mobile phones has not yet developed to be comparable to computers, the software and games on mobile phones, whether it is the occupation of storage memory, the occupation of running memory, and the occupation of the processor during the runtime, are naturally as small as possible.

"Talking Tom" is a real little game.

The mobile phone that Wen Ming is using now is still the BlackBerry full-keyboard mobile phone left to him by his identity, but unfortunately, there is no touch screen function.

"My plan is not absolute, because my idea may be beyond the level of hardware in this era, so why can't you add keyboard control?"

When Tom Ding found Wen Ming with an N97 with an excited face, he was criticized by Wen Ming.

"Is there a large number of touchscreen mobile phones in the current market, or is there a large number of non-touchscreen mobile phones?"

Wen Ming is indeed a little angry, his plan is completely in accordance with the original "Talking Tom Cat", but when this game was released, iphone4s had already come out, and the number of touch-screen phones on the market has exceeded that of non-touch-screen phones, of course, there are many mobile phones similar to N97 that combine touch screen and keyboard.

This is because Wen Ming did not combine the reality when he considered the problem, so there was a problem, but this problem should not be discovered by him. If you have to worry about everything, why do you recruit so many employees?

Tom Ding came to his senses and lowered his head in shame, at this time he had completely forgotten that the real purpose of his trip to find Wen Ming was to change the name of "Talking Tom" to "Talking Sith Cat".

"Yes, boss, it's true that we didn't take the market into account."

As the head of the planning department, he needs to update and improve all the plans of Apple's game division to find out the shortcomings.

"It's not hard to add keyboard controls, we've done all the work, and it only takes a day for us to add the code and launch a non-touchscreen version of Talking Tom."

Wen Ming sighed, and did not pursue it, the key to this kind of problem is that Apple is too young and the employees lack enough experience. And the main reason he was able to find out the problem was that his phone couldn't run Talking Tom.

"Help me tell the Operations & Promotion Department that I want to see the full promotion plan before your improvements are completed this time."

Without being scolded or deducted from his salary or bonus, Tom Ding left Wen Ming's office with a sigh of relief, and before he returned to his office area, he was stunned.

"Wait, didn't I say I was going to change the name of the game?"

I was about to turn around and go back to Wen Ming to discuss this issue, when I suddenly thought that I had made a mistake just now.

"If you go back now, aren't you looking for a scolding?"

Tom Ding, who has been in the workplace for many years, can only suppress his most urgent thoughts, go to the R&D department to put forward the boss's requirements, and then run to the operation and promotion department to relay the boss's tasks.

Apple's headquarters was originally a large and empty warehouse, and in the beginning, all employees were concentrated in one office area. After earning money, the office areas of different departments have been separated by glass partitions.

The fastest installation of the integrated roof allows for a certain degree of sound insulation between the different departments.

James happened to be out of class today, so he came to the operation and promotion department of Apple, which he belongs to.

"Wait, I remember saying that you developed a game called Talking Tom, and now, why do you want to make another promotion? Also, Why "Talking Sith Cat"? ”

How could Thomding say that he was going to take the time to discuss with his boss and change the name of the game, so he asked to make two sets of promotion plans. In fact, it is said that it is two sets of promotion plans, and it is just a name change in the copywriting, and the cost is almost none.

Before Tom Ding could reply, James reacted and burst out laughing.

"I don't agree, unless you let the boss tell us personally, otherwise, I don't dare to offend the Sith."

Thomding was furious: "You mean, I can be offended? ”

James said indifferently: "I didn't offend you, who made you the head of the planning department, but the boss made the plan?" ”

Thomding was immediately deflated, and said that the first game he was responsible for at Apple was named after himself, which should have been a happy thing. But who let this Tom cat fart and be beaten at every turn?

"Wait, I'm going to make a game and get you in."

This kind of joke between colleagues does not cause any conflict, in fact, Apple's internal staff relationship is very harmonious. In addition to the fact that they are all young students and have not experienced much intrigue in the workplace, it is also because of Wenming's management philosophy.

In the management of the company, Wen Ming followed Google's example. Although Apple was not big at this time, there were free snacks and drinks area, rest area, and entertainment area, and employees did not need to wear uniforms, and they could even bring their own pets to the company. Of course, the premise of bringing pets is that pets cannot defecate in the open in the company, or be noisy and disturb others.

This relaxed working environment can be said to be a paradise for this group of young Apple employees.

Of course, Apple's high efficiency in developing products has also made employees feel enough pressure.

Just like "Talking Tom", a seemingly simple game, it was developed in the shortest possible time because of Wen Ming's requirements, which made many people in the R&D department work a lot of extra shifts.

"No one is willing to work overtime, and the work efficiency of overtime hours is often the lowest, but if employees can relax in other ways, then the time they waste in the company to relax will inevitably be able to make up for it through the work efficiency improved during overtime, and even let the overall work progress be improved."

(ps: I used to work as a project supervisor and worked overtime every day, but no matter how late it was, the boss arranged for someone to take us to supper, and then we saved 3 months of construction time...... )

The knowledge obtained through the movie, after all, is equivalent to the existence of memory, and if you want to make those memories become the existence of a multiplication table, not only can you blurt it out, but also can use it effectively, Wen Ming also needs to practice slowly and make progress slowly.

The successful development of "Talking Tom Cat" made Wen Ming a little relieved, and created a game with a total of 5.7 billion downloads in the world, even if the number of downloads in this world decreases slightly, it will definitely be able to provide Wen Ming with a lot of cash flow.

Taking out his game plan with blank content from the drawer, Wen Ming was a little helpless, many of these games can create a billion US dollar level of revenue, but Wen Ming is not a real game development professional, just by using to copy these games, the difficulty is naturally there.

Moreover, the current hardware situation of mobile phones is not suitable for some of the games, Wen Ming can only pick and choose, and come up with a game plan with only one name.

"Whatever, what if you can't be a game giant? After the iPhone is launched, whoever makes money from the game will have to give me a share. ”

While writing the plan, Wen Ming thought of Apple's overlord clause.

"In this world, those overlord clauses belong to me!"
