Chapter 121 Very Goddess
And with the addition of Luo Tiansheng, the helmsman of the company has gradually changed from Zhou Heng to her.
In the case of overseas sales, although AutoNavi provides channels, the main person responsible for contact is Luo Tiansheng; The company has set up several new positions to be responsible for communicating with players and organizing player activities. Although it is now the period of market operation, Luo Tiansheng's ability to show Xiàn in other aspects has quickly been recognized by other elders. Even Lu Xianlong, who inexplicably beat someone, gradually became convinced after two days of complaining.
Although Luo Tiansheng is only the manager of the development department now, anyone with a discerning eye can see her ability and Zhou Heng's importance to her - in some aspects, although Luo Tiansheng is a little harsh, she does a much better job than Zhou Heng, the boss.
It was in this atmosphere that the release date of "Dragons" was gradually approaching.
There is Zhong Youxin to help operate, and the approval of "Dragon Group" is very smooth; With the efforts of Luo Tiansheng, the follow-up plan for the foreign market has also been determined. Zhou Heng's original plan was to find some large companies in foreign countries to act as an agent for issuance with the help of AutoNavi, but this plan was rejected by Luo Tiansheng.
"Since your purpose is to make your game accessible to more people, this method is not optimal. I think we can find some small and medium-sized game companies to act as agents, first, we can strengthen the control of overseas games and reduce the impact of agency companies on the operation of games; Second, it can also be used as a springboard to make some preparations for the foreign operation of "Wind Country" in the future. "After all, we don't maintain our games in the same way as other companies. The help that a large operating platform can give us is not indispensable. ”
"What, isn't the negotiation going well?"
"Yes." Luo Tiansheng rubbed the corners of his forehead, "The few large companies that AutoNavi helped contact are not very ideal partners. Some are not optimistic about our free network operation plan, while others are too high in terms of sharing and the cost of working with them is too high. ”
"Then let's do it." Zhou Heng thought for a while, "Anyway, the domestic market is good, and foreign publicity and sales can be slowly solved later." ”
"In addition, there are other companies abroad that want to negotiate with me about the agency operation of the 'Wind Country'."
"Didn't you just say that we want to run it ourselves?"
"It's a collaboration with other platforms." "Sony thought that Wind Nation was a good fit for their console platform, so they wanted to work with us. They can provide us with technical support for platform porting. It will also give us a high share and agency fees. ”
"That's a good thing." Zhou Heng asked. "Did you promise them?"
"No, because they have other conditions."
"What?"
"They are asking for the exclusive possession of The Dragons."
"......" Zhou Heng was speechless, "Are their brains caught in the door?" ”
Zhou Heng naturally would not agree to such conditions. Not to mention the point of inexplicably proposing to exclude a game that has already been developed and is about to be released, this kind of shooter developed for PC is not meant to be played with a controller. But. Zhou Heng sensed the other party's intention to cooperate. Although you can't give them "Dragons". But the specifics can still be discussed. Sony though a little rogue is a bit of a hooligan. But the influence in the Asian region is quite huge; When we work together, it's a good thing for both parties.
In addition to the cooperation with Sony, there are also several other AutoNavi companies to help contact the agency to negotiate the cooperation plan is also in full swing. Meanwhile. The release of "Dragon Group" is also on the agenda.
I think when "The Land of the Wind" was released, it was basically supported by some online publicity; Now that the sales of "Dragon Group" have spread all over the world, even Zhou Heng can't help but sigh. How far are you from achieving your goal?
On the day of the opening of "Dragon Group", the number of pre-orders worldwide exceeded 100,000. At the same time, the number of downloads of the free web version has increased several times. In order to allow foreign players to experience the online version in a better network environment, Zhou Heng also set up servers abroad.
The online version of "Dragons" shows a powerful game function, and players can improve their game rank through guò battles, which is actually not much different from ordinary online shooting games. Before the game was released, it gathered a considerable part of the popularity.
With the help of AutoNavi, the publicity activities of "Dragon Group" in foreign countries are also very smooth; For a while, there was an endless stream of topics about "Dragon Group", and all kinds of speculations and expectations were rampant, and it was even on CCTV's noon news file. Under Zhou Heng's bad taste arrangement, Zhou Heng and Lu Xianlong were 'coincidentally' not in the company during the CCTV reporter's interview, and Luo Tiansheng hurriedly went to be interviewed.
The interview process was a success, Luo Tiansheng focused on the release plan of "Dragon Group" and revealed some game content; However, this is clearly not what most players care about. After Luo Tiansheng was on the camera, his stunning appearance and noble temperament shocked countless players; For a while, the title of 'very goddess' swept the Internet, and Zhou Heng took the opportunity to straighten her out and let her become the company's executive president.
And among the extraordinary game companies, this is also a busy scene. The final debugging of the game was quickly over, and after perfecting some details and taking care of the translation issues by the main god, the rest of the work was to ship, store, and wait for the release. These issues are the responsibility of the company's marketing department and foreign agencies, and the design of the next game can also be put on the agenda.
In the meeting of the development department, Luo Tiansheng first put forward a proposal.
"I'll mention yì, the next game we will enter the smartphone game market."
When this proposal was made, most people were taken aback. It's inconceivable for a PC game company to suddenly switch to mobile games for these employees - the principles are similar, but the gameplay of mobile games is completely different from that of PC games. It is obviously not a wise decision to give up your immediate advantages to open up a new field.
Let a sweater weave a bamboo basket, no matter how good his sweater is, it's useless, right?
Several people immediately objected: "The audience of mobile games is not the same as that of PC games, and our company should not give up the PC position." ”
"I don't think that's right, too." Even Lu Xianlong spoke, "Our company's current advantages are concentrated on the PC side, if you want to switch to the platform, it is better to use a small part of the resources to test the water before large-scale development, right?" (To be continued......)
