Chapter 217: "Wind Soul" Engine
Xu Bo was originally a customer service of Dahua Westward Journey.
Because the big talk about Journey to the West was horrific, in the end, only his customer service persisted.
As a result, under the promotion of 5173, Dahua Westward Journey actually came back to life.
It's just that although it has come back to life, the production of Westward Journey is a bit rough after all, and there are a lot of bugs.
For long-term development, NetEase is ready to redo.
It's just that although it was redone, Xu Bo was pushed out by the top executives of NetEase.
At first, Xu Bo was in charge of the operation of Dahua Westward Journey 1.
But after the Dahua Westward Journey 2 project appeared, Xu Bo was no longer allowed to participate.
If all the historical trajectories remain unchanged.
Then in the next period of time, Xu Bo will apply to the top to develop Fantasy Westward Journey under extreme frustration.
Based on Dahua Westward Journey 1, a turn-based game based on the Q version of the cartoon was developed.
That is, Fantasy Westward Journey.
At that time, everyone was not optimistic about this Fantasy Westward Journey, and at the time in the company, several high-level executives said that if Fantasy Westward Journey could reach one-tenth of the number of simultaneous online players of the Great Westward Journey, then Fantasy Westward Journey would be considered extreme.
However, sometimes drama is just like that.
A Fantasy Westward Journey planned by a small customer service has become NetEase's most popular online game step by step.
But even if the well-known Fantasy Westward Journey was developed, Xu Bo's position in NetEase was only the director of the Fantasy Westward Journey Planning Department, and it was far from the level of an executive.
Xu Bo resigned from NetEase in 2006.
Later media took Xu Bo to say that Fantasy Westward Journey was a gold ingot that NetEase suddenly picked up from the sky.
At this moment, Xu Bo must be extremely disappointed.
No matter what, he was still the last person who insisted on making a big talk about Journey to the West.
Digging was smooth.
If it is to dig an absolute high-level NetEase,
Maybe not so easy.
But digging a marginalized Xu Bo is actually quite easy.
Although NetEase knows that Xu Bo is the last person to stick to the big talk, but Xu Bo is just a small customer service.
Moreover, Xu Bo's education is only junior high school.
Yes.
You can't imagine.
Xu Bo, who planned the fantasy westward journey in later generations, turned out to be a junior high school graduate, even lower than Zhang Jianming's.
In this era of academic qualifications, it seemed normal for Xu Bo to be marginalized by NetEase at that time.
Furthermore, at this time Xu Bo did not show his talent.
The only credit is that they finally stood their ground, or for them, this is not credit.
It's just that the company arranged for him to be the last customer service, and it's the same for another person.
"Mr. Chen, we have dug Xu Bo."
Wang Chang called Chen Yu back.
Chen Yu was a little surprised: "So fast, it's only 3 days."
"Oh, this time it's not a poaching."
Wang Chang sighed and said: "As soon as Xu Bo proposed to resign, the top directly agreed."
"Uh……"
Chen Yu burst into tears.
However, that's daring.
Since NetEase doesn't want it, I want it.
"Hurry up and ask him to come to Xinfeng, I want to see him."
"Okay, he said he would pack his things and be there in about three days."
"Row."
Chen Yu nodded.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, besides Xu Bo, I also dug up another person."
"Who?"
"Wu Yunyang."
"Who is Wu Yunyang?"
"Netease's programmer, Xu Bo recommended it to me."
"Okay, let them all come to Xinfeng together."
Speaking of which, Chen Yu still really wanted to meet Xu Bo. After all, he is the genius who planned the fantasy westward journey. Even if he left NetEase later, the "Shenwu" series of games he developed has achieved good results. Moreover, he got better after leaving NetEase. At least, he has made tens of billions in wealth.
Three days later, Xu Bo and Wu Yunyang came to Universal Technology.
"You are the founder of Huanyu Technology?"
"Why, it doesn't look like it?"
"Oh, no, I'm really surprised."
Xu Bo was extremely surprised.
He could never have imagined that the CEO of Universal Technology, who is leading the way in the field of online games, is only about 20 years old.
"I'm also surprised, Xu Bo, it is said that if it wasn't for you, Journey to the West would have been disbanded."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Xu Bo is now 24 years old, still very young. Seeing Chen Yu being so polite to himself, Xu Bo was a little flattered: "I like playing games, but I don't have much education. At that time, NetEase was recruiting customer service. I thought that customer service should not need much education, so I applied. There are so many bugs that NetEase almost has to give up. But after all, there are still some players playing, so let me be the customer service. I am not the hero of the big talk, it is you Huanyu Technology who deserves the credit. Without you Huanyu Technology, the big talk about Journey to the West may really be over."
At this time, Xu Bo was just a small staff member. Even if he was in charge of Journey to the West for a while later, it was only because he could not find a person who knew the big talk better than Xu Bo. Xu Bo is not particularly self-conscious at the moment, and Chen Yu can also see this. But it doesn't matter, he believes that Xu Bo's talent will explode.
"What do you call Huanyu Technology, Xu Bo, don't you want to join us?"
Chen Yu glared at Xu Bo and said.
"No, no, President Chen, I haven't entered the role yet."
Xu Bo waved his hands again and again.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, let me introduce to you, Wu Yunyang, this is my colleague at NetEase."
"Hello Yunyang, welcome to join Huanyu Technology."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Chen, Yunyang is a very good game developer. The engine of Journey to the West was developed by Yunyang in three months when he was in college."
"You mean the wind soul engine?"
Chen Yu asked.
"I didn't expect President Chen to have heard of it."
Wu Yunyang was a little surprised.
"I've played Westward Journey for a few days, so I know a little bit."
Of course this is not true.
The truth is that the fantasy westward journey of later generations was developed on the basis of the "Wind Soul" engine.
"Mr. Chen must be very disappointed. In fact, the Wind Soul engine is not very mature."
Wu Yunyang was not happy because Chen Yu knew about Fenghun.
It is said that Journey to the West is going to be reworked. NetEase feels that the quality of the "Wind Soul Engine" is average and intends to refer to other engines.
How to say, now both of them are a little disappointed.
"When I was in college, I developed a 2D engine by myself, which is enough to be proud of. Yun Yang, I like you very much. Just in time, we are also preparing to develop a 2D turn-based game. Your wind soul engine can just be Use it."
"Mr. Chen, use the wind soul engine I developed?"
"Any questions?"
"This, this... President Chen, you may not know that NetEase didn't use the Wind Soul Engine."
"I believe you."
Chen Yu looked at Wu Yunyang firmly.
"Mr. Chen, don't worry, I will definitely re-modify the Wind Soul Engine."
Wu Yunyang clenched his fists.
He knew that the opportunity had come, and it was up to him whether he could seize it or not.
Hearing the turn-based online game, Xu Bo's eyes lit up and asked, "Mr. Chen, is the company also developing a turn-based online game?"
"That's right."
Chen Yu nodded: "Xu Bo, I don't know what you think of turn-based online games."
"its me……"
Xu Bo was a little embarrassed, and took out a thick stack of documents from his bag: "Mr. Chen, I can't say what I have to say. This is my redo plan for Dahua Westward Journey. Unfortunately, NetEase did not adopt it, maybe because I think I have a low education. But I think if the company wants to make a turn-based game, the Westward Journey genre can still be considered.”
