Monday, September 8.

Early in the morning, Xu Yi came to the company, and while it was not yet time to go to work, he focused his attention on the targets on Xu Xingquan last night.

Xu Yi is now working in an internal search department, and it is not a big or small management position, so it is very simple to find some basic information about employees.

Soon, he set his sights on three of them.

——Dai Zhuoshan, male, 27 years old, graduated from the Department of Computer Science of Zhejiang University.

——Liao Qinyu, male, 28 years old, ibid.

- Gong Ao, male, 26 years old, ibid.

These three people are alumni of the same university, and they also happen to be in the same class, and their personal relationship seems to be good.

Among them, Dai Zhuoshan is Xu Yi's current colleague, who also works in the search department of a certain degree, and was previously one of the several persons in charge of the Wutong system dedicated to search and promotion.

Later, because of the rise of the mobile Internet, I received the task of developing a certain mobile terminal.

During this period, because he was aware of the difference between the mobile phone and the computer, Dai Zhuoshan proposed at the meeting that he could try to change the push mechanism of the mobile terminal to a certain degree, and suggested that the personalized push should first attract users and stabilize the number of users on the mobile terminal.

But at this time, Dai Zhuoshan's point of view was still relatively immature, and he did not find that the most essential root is that the mobile phone is different from the computer side, and an APP represents a direct entrance to the platform, and there is no need to deliberately use a certain degree.

This weakens the usage scenarios and frequencies of a certain degree to a certain extent.

But it is obvious that the internal authorities have not realized this and have not agreed to Dai Zhuoshan's proposal.

After all, personalized recommendations mean that each user sees different content, which is a serious weakening of the ad distribution system that has relied for a while.

And most of the income of a certain degree actually comes from the advertising revenue provided by the bidding ranking, and it is impossible for a certain degree to cut off the bulk of its income because of a proposal by Dai Zhuoshan.

So in the end, Dai Zhuoshan not only failed to continue to develop a certain browser, but was also demoted by half a level in the search department.

Of course, this is not only because of his proposal, but also has something to do with the factional struggle within the search department.

It's just that Dai Zhuoshan was obviously seized of the opportunity and became a victim of this confrontation.

In addition, Liao Qinyu, who is responsible for the research and development of the mobile terminal of the social software, has a similar experience to Dai Zhuoshan.

In the PC era, social software is basically the world of Tengxin QQ.

At one time, I still wanted to rely on the social software of a certain degree of hi to seize a part of the social market share, but now, a certain degree of hi has basically become a tool for internal employee communication.

In the era of mobile Internet, Liao Qinyu felt that there was an opportunity for a certain hi to try to overtake in a corner, even if he couldn't surpass Tengxin, he would have the opportunity to gnaw a piece of meat.

But the internal priority of a certain degree of hi is too low, and Liao Qinyu is only the person in charge of the mobile terminal, and the current boss of a certain degree has set his sights on the field of e-commerce, and a certain degree of hi only belongs to the role of auxiliary offense, and it is not valued at all.

Therefore, Liao Qinyu's suggestions submitted several times were rejected, and even the person in charge of the e-commerce department did not forget to ridicule him, laughing at his wishful thinking, and even thinking of competing with Tengxin for territory in the social field.

As for Gong Ao's side, it's even simpler.

Although the game department is also a good source of income, it has always been doing some leather IP games of the Three Kingdoms martial arts.

Despite making money, there is really no innovation, and the whole department is more disciplined, not so much a game production department, but a game assembly line factory.

Gong Ao, as a relatively young and ideal type, every time he finishes a game required by the general plan, he reports the game he wants to make.

Then it was dismissed and a new set of skins was arranged.

After completing another section, continue to report the project you prepared, and then be rejected.

After coming like this a few times, Gong Ao had a big quarrel with the chief planner.

If it weren't for his own hard skills, the production efficiency and results in the game department were really outstanding, and it is estimated that he would have been fired by this time.

After Xu Yi locked these three people, he roughly determined his plan.

As a result, just when he was about to start work, his mobile phone suddenly received a call from Xu Xing.

"Uncle, help me take a leave of absence."

"What?"

"Today, the new employee arrives, I have to arrange the task, you help me make a testimony on the counselor's side, saying that I am going to the hospital to see my grandfather."

Xu Yi: "...... You just tell the counselor that you're starting a business. ”

"Then I'll have to explain a lot, trouble."

"Okay, okay, I'll help you say it."

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, Yu Youjia stood at the door of the dormitory building, looking at Xu Xing who was riding an electric car with an expressionless face, and Xu Niannian, who was in high spirits, holding his hands to his chest and sighing.

"Forget it, you go first." Xu Niannian was also embarrassed to leave his girlfriend alone, waved his hand and said, "I'll take the subway with Jiajia." ”

"No need." Yu Youjia said, raised his hand and picked up a phone, "Hey? You've arrived? Okay, see you at the school gate. ”

Hanging up the phone, Yu Youjia smiled twice at Xu Niannian: "I'm not someone, I don't even have a boyfriend, you take your brother's car, Zhou Jing is here to pick me up." ”

“？？？” Xu Niannian covered his heart in pain, "Didn't you say he was busy?" ”

"At this point, he happened to go to work in the law firm, so he dropped me off." Yu Youjia waved his hand at the two of them and walked towards the school gate, "Let's see you in the studio later." ”

Seeing Yu Youjia's figure in the distance, Xu Xing turned his head and asked, "Why don't you take someone else's car?" You don't have to follow me all the way. ”

"Why is there so much nonsense?" Xu Niannian walked to the side of the electric car, raised his slender legs high, easily straddled it, hugged Xu Xing and urged, "Chong Chong Chong!" Fight for them to arrive first! ”

“…… You're kind of embarrassed for me. ”

Saying this, Xu Xing had already started the electric car and quickly overtook Yu Youjia, who was walking in front.

Xu Niannian didn't forget to touch Yu Youjia's face arrogantly, and waved goodbye to her with a smile: "Let's go first!" ”

Yu Youjia walked slowly, looked at the two people who were moving away quickly, looked at Xu Niannian tightly hugging the body of his younger brother in front of him, and couldn't help but smile helplessly: "What a coward." ”

The electric car drove out of the school gate.

At this time, Yan Chi Vinegar, who couldn't ask for leave, was obediently attending classes at school.

She had to wait until the evening when there were no classes to go to the studio.

Or it's not available until the weekend.

Xu Xing is because he has learned most of the content in his freshman year, and he is also proficient in using this knowledge after work, so he doesn't need to learn it again.

But although Yan Chi Vinegar taught herself programming before, she still needs to check and fill in the gaps, and Xu Xing doesn't want to delay her studies, so she only lets her come to the studio when she is free, and she doesn't have to rush for a while.

……

The employees who rushed to the studio in the morning and were willing to come to work in the studio after receiving the offer had already rushed here and signed the contract with the help of Yao Yuanyuan and the legal counsel.

Lei Wenyan, a master's graduate of Jiaotong University, glanced at He Sitong at the workstation next to him, and asked curiously, "Why are you here?" I thought I wouldn't see you anymore. ”

"The project prize pool is attractive." He Sitong lifted his glasses and said with a shy smile, "It is said that the planner of the new game is the planner of Fruit Assassin, if it is still a lightweight mobile game, with the current team size, it is estimated that it will not take long to complete the production." ”

"I don't want the new game to have the level of Fruit Assassin, but even if it is one or two notches off, the 10% prize pool of the first three months of the project's profit is very determined."

"After all, there are only a dozen people in our team."

Lei Wenyan smiled: "I can't see that I'm still a little gambler, and the planning plan of the game project hasn't seen a shadow yet, maybe the new game will hit the street." ”

"That's just a waste of a month or two." He Sitong shook his head and said, "This little time is still a waste." ”

"You kid is too utilitarian." Lei Wenyan sighed twice, "I just need the boss not to lie on the credit book and eat the old book, develop new games well, don't be as enterprising as those big factories, I dare to keep doing it." ”

"Are you a native of Shanghai?" He Sitong glanced at him and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Hehe, no wonder."

……

At ten o'clock in the morning, Secretary Peng Yuxuan distributed the [Secret Escape Planning Plan] in his hand one by one.

The twelve programmers and four artists who joined Tianshu Studio were all present.

After a simple opening remarks, Xu Xing went straight in, using the public office area as a conference room, and began to plan and explain the escape of the new game.

And with the deepening of the explanation, the newly hired employees couldn't help but sigh in their hearts after understanding the gameplay and core of this game little by little.

Although they are not particularly sensitive to the market, those who are here to apply for game companies are more or less familiar with the current mobile games.

【3D Parkour Mobile Game】

This category, at least for now, should not have been seen, at least in the mobile game market, they should still eat the first bite of crab in this game.

Although the person who eats the first bite of crab may not end well.

But considering the success of the young man's last game, Fruit Assassin, the rest of the audience couldn't help but be a little enthusiastic.

Of course, most people's passion is not for how innovative the game is and how successful it is likely to be in the future, but simply because of the 10% prize money.

Lei Wenyan was the only one, listening to Xu Xing's in-depth explanation, and when he talked about the key points, he always couldn't help but want to applaud, but in the end he resisted the urge to slap his thigh.

"That's really amazing." After the meeting, Lei Wenyan secretly said to He Sitong, "The game innovation itself is nothing, but this innovation even takes into account the gyroscopes that have just become popular in smartphones recently, which is outrageous,"

"The fruit assassin before is also because it is perfectly adapted to the interactive mode of the touchscreen mobile phone, which can be so popular."

"And this secret escape, relying on the gyroscope to judge the left and right swing of the mobile phone, and then control the left and right dodge actions of the character, eliminating the screen buttons, is definitely an amazing innovation."

Although the other employees were not as excited as Lei Wenyan, they still started to operate under Xu Xing's methodical arrangement.

After lunch, the Secret Escape Project Team was officially launched.

After Xu Xing arranged everyone's tasks, he also returned to the office, and asked Peng Yuxuan to bring the contact information of the major channel providers that he had collected, and while continuing to test the domestic version of Fruit Assassin, he began to contact the channel providers of major mobile phones and platforms to determine the sharing and promotion mode after the game was put on the shelves.

……

In the evening, Mi Fox Tour Studio.

Liu Wei and Jin Zhidong, who stayed up all night and rushed all afternoon, finally finalized the content of the lecture and the production of PPT.

"Hey, hello, I'm Liu Wei from Mihuyou Studio, and Mr. Xu said that he could consider investing in our project." Liu Wei dialed according to the contact information on the business card given to him by Yan Chi Vinegar, "We have prepared the presentation materials, is Mr. Xu free tonight?" Or tomorrow. ”

"Oh, okay, okay, no problem."

"At seven o'clock that night, we arrived on time."

"Thank you, thank you, okay, I'll call you again when I get there."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Mr. Xu of the Stars company did not plan to release the pigeons.

After confirming that there would be an opportunity to get the investment tonight, the four founders got together again to discuss possible investment plans and how to deal with special situations.

"Control is the focus, followed by the two-dimensional theme." Cai Haoyu said, "There is no room for concession on these two points, as long as the others are not too excessive, we can talk about them." ”

"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"

"In fact, if the other party thinks that one million is too much, we can also take out a little less shares, as long as five or six hundred thousand can also be considered." Luo Yuhao pondered and said, "The majority of our R&D costs are wages, as long as we last a few more months, the key is to spend a lot of money on the promotion and advertising of the game." ”

"Uh...... I don't think the company is bad for money. Liu Wei reminded, "Although their profit last month should only be a few million, this month's income is at least tens of millions, if you really want to invest in us, one million is just a small amount of money." ”

"Can you ask for a little more?" Cai Haoyu asked tentatively.

"This is not very good...... Liu Wei was embarrassed, "We have spread the news before that this is the condition, and now there is finally a company that may not mind us doing two-dimensional mobile games, and at this time, the price will be raised, and it will be a bit ugly to spread out." ”

"Forget it." Cai Haoyu shook his head, "Today, you go and talk about it first, my phone will be next to it, if you have any problems over there, we will communicate at any time." ”

Throughout the whole process, Jin Zhidong remained silent and didn't say a word.

……

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Inside the Tianshu studio.

After eating, the employees volunteered to stay and continue to work overtime, and the office area was brightly lit.

Yan Chi Vinegar, who had finished a day's class, was late and quietly entered the boss's office.

"Coming?" Xu Xing raised his head and glanced at Yan Chi Vinegar, then beckoned her to come over, and ordered, "You will take over the task of the test, and I will see the people over there from Mi Huyou in a while." ”

"Hmm." During working hours, Yan Chi Vinegar will not be hypocritical, and after confirming the content of his work, he went out of the office, found an empty workstation to sit down, and took over the work at hand by Xu Xing.

Soon, the secretary Peng Yuxuan received a call from Liu Wei, so he immediately got up and went downstairs and took Liu Wei and Jin Zhidong to the office.

And when the two of them walked into the office and saw that Xu Xing was the only one sitting on the chair, their footsteps suddenly stopped subconsciously.

Liu Wei: "? ”

Jin Zhidong: "? ”

"Come in, two of you."

Peng Yuxuan led the two into the office, closed the door, and introduced the two of them: "This is the CEO of our Qunxing Company, Mr. Xu, and the planner of the Fruit Assassin. ”

Xu Xing stood up at the right time, smiled and walked around to the open space in front of the desk, and greeted, "Hello two." ”

"Hello, I'm Liu Wei, and this is Jin Zhidong." Liu Wei, who came back to his senses, hurriedly held Xu Xing's hand, "I really didn't expect that Mr. Xu would be so young, I was so surprised." ”

"It's okay, this is the reaction of people who know my identity for the first time." Xu Xing smiled indifferently, shook hands with Jin Zhidong again, and then went straight to the point, "Let's not waste time, let's start?" ”

"Okay." Liu Wei took a deep breath, but he liked Xu Xing's vigorous and resolute personality very much, so he didn't make more polite things, and after nodding with Jin Zhidong, the latter took out a USB flash drive.

……

Honkai, the full name is Honkai Campus, a 2D side-scrolling shooting mobile game, but with a layer of two-dimensional skin, playing the content of a beautiful girl shooting a zombie girl.

The core of the gameplay is actually very simple.,It's nothing more than fighting monsters and upgrading.,Cultivating character levels and equipment.,It's just that because the painting style is two-dimensional.,So it's more eye-catching.。

In fact, what Xu Xingji knows very clearly is that Mi Huyou's Honkai One was hit the street at the beginning.

The price of the buyout system is 6 yuan, which is neither high nor low, and it is impossible to rely on a high buyout to recoup funds, and it is impossible to attract free white prostitution players to enter the game.

In the end, the total revenue was only a few hundred thousand, and it almost failed to make Mi Huyou survive until Collapse 2 was born.

It can only be said that Mi Fox is definitely the top batch of two-dimensional mobile games in terms of technology during this period.

However, sensitivity to the market's sense of smell and the confrontation between buyouts and free in-app purchases is far from enough.

Later, he was able to persevere, completely relying on an obsession with the second dimension, otherwise he might have parted ways after the failure of Bangyi.

Liu Wei was very excited to preach in front of Xu Xing, trying his best to show the selling points and characteristics of their mobile game.

Xu Xing listened carefully on the surface, sometimes nodding in agreement, but in fact, his mind was already on the negotiations in the future.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Wei finally introduced the details of their planning and development of this game, and looked at Xu Xing with anticipation in his eyes: "Mr. Xu, do you think there are any questions that I need to answer?" ”

Xu Xing cooperated and asked a few questions that didn't hurt or itch, and then crossed his hands on the table, looked at Liu Wei and Jin Zhidong thoughtfully, and fell into a state of contemplation.

It was only about a few minutes later.

But Liu Wei felt that centuries had passed, waiting for the trial of the boy in front of him who looked several years younger than him.

However, Xu Xing didn't stay up with them for too long, and after seven or eight minutes, he finally let go of his crossed palms, leaned back on the back of the chair, tapped one hand on the table, and said slowly:

"A million investment is fine."

"However, there are three main conditions on my side."

When Liu Wei heard the first sentence, he was immediately happy, but as soon as he heard the second sentence, his heart suddenly chuckled, and the words of the investors he had contacted before immediately appeared in his mind.

- Don't do two-dimensional, the market is too small.

- Let's do martial arts or the Three Kingdoms, this is still the most popular in China.

- They are already graduate students of Min University, can you not be so naïve? How many two-dimensional mobile games have made achievements in China?

- Forget it, your technology, if you do a popular theme such as the Three Kingdoms, I am not afraid of losing 35 million investments, but the second dimension? Not to mention a million, 10,000 yuan is too much.

- Actually, you are all very good talents, do you want to consider joining our company? Wholly-owned acquisition, the price is negotiable.

- Liu Wei, if your studio is so persistent, there will be no future in the future, or you can come out and follow me?

In short, there are not only those who want them to change the theme, but also those who want to directly acquire the studio, and even those who want to poach people directly.

But no one is optimistic about their two-dimensional mobile games.

But just when Liu Wei was uneasy in his heart, Xu Xing continued to speak.

"My conditions are simple."

"First, 15% of the shares, change to 20%."

"Second, the buyout system of the Honkai campus has been changed to a free system."

"Thirdly, it is a cooperation, and I hope that the two companies can reach a technology sharing and mutual assistance agreement."

"If I can agree to the above three, I can agree to invest one million in Mihuyou."

After listening to Xu Xing's three conditions, Liu Wei fell silent.

Compared with the demonic whispers in his mind, the request made by Mr. Xu in front of him was ...... Doesn't seem too harsh?
