Chapter 1044 Continuous Layout
Yang Dongxu sat in the main seat in the meeting room of Xuri Technology. Qiu Bosong of 361, Chang Hao, who is currently in charge of the two game departments of "Legend" and "Swordsman Love", and Xu Youzhen, the head of the newly established "Fantasy Westward Journey" game department, were all there.
At present, Chang Hao's prestige in Xuri Technology can be said to be unparalleled, even surpassing his former mentor Qiu Bosong. No way to make money means status, this is a universal rule within private companies.
Although "Legend" was not Chang Hao's responsibility before, he had a bit of a peach-picking intention. But the popularity of "Swordsman Love" is an indisputable fact.
And now "Swordsman Love" has surpassed "Legend" to become the most profitable game department of Xuri Technology. In addition, the relationship between Chang Hao and Qiu Bosong, and the current backbone of Xuri Technology's technical personnel, more than half of them were once poached from Xishanju.
Chang Hao, the head of the game department, is absolutely in power. Compared with Chang Hao, Qiu Bosong obviously doesn't care. One reason is that the other party is his apprentice. Although he has taken off now, he has always respected him.
In addition, the browser is relatively independent, and even though 361 is now making web games, the core theme is the browser, and the plan to focus on operating systems, videos and blogs has not changed. Therefore, there is no competition between the two.
But Xu Youzhen and his game team, who Qiu Bosong spent a lot of money to dig from NetEase, are a bit disappointed. You should know that when he and the Fantasy Westward Journey team were dug, Ding Sanshi was very aggressive.
And Yang Dongxu's expectations for "Fantasy Westward Journey" are so high that everyone in the company doesn't know it. But the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, especially since the game type of "Fantasy Westward Journey" is similar to "Dahua Westward Journey".
Although "Dahua Westward Journey" did not perform well at the beginning, after a period of adjustment and adding playable elements. It has already become a hot trend, and the latecomers make some game companies such as Jiucheng feel that they will be exploded.
In this way, for the same type of game, they take a step ahead, and there is a posture of taking one step ahead and taking every step ahead. This has put a lot of pressure on Xu Youzhen's team for some time.
"The company's performance this quarter is very good, but the reason for this is not only the good games, but also the advantages brought by the company's publicity channels and other resource supplements. Don't think that the results are all your own. Be modest and strive to reach a higher level. At the end of the year, I will give everyone an extra satisfactory year-end bonus." Yang Dongxu, who was sitting in the main seat, said.
Chang Hao's smile became more intense, although Yang Dongxu's words meant to warn them not to be proud. But the results are now obvious, and he can't help but be happy.
He is even now called the number one game player in China, although this title is very exaggerated. As Yang Dongxu said, the resources of Sunrise Technology are unmatched by other game companies.
For example, the cooperation between Sunrise Technology and the Internet Cafe Alliance has made the publicity of its games a resource that other game companies are jealous of but cannot have. Especially "Swordsman Love" has just been launched.
That is all rolled out in Internet cafes across the country, and many Internet cafe network administrators have worked as game professors for a period of time, plus various posters and point card discounts. Now when you go to an Internet cafe, almost half of the people are playing "Swordsman Love", and the other half are playing "Legend", and the rest are the shares of other games.
It can be said that the two flagship products of Sunrise Technology have eaten up at least two-thirds of the entire game market. In addition, when web games are now very full in Sunrise Technology, they have also drunk soup. The company's performance makes its peers envious and jealous. As the largest project, Chang Hao has the capital to be proud, and his neck can also bear this exaggerated high hat.
"How many registered users are there in Tieba?" Yang Dongxu looked at Qiu Bosong.
He is not worried about the game. If there is Xiao Ma Ge in this life, he must be extremely cautious. Because there are currently two strong competitors in the domestic instant messaging software market. If Xiao Ma Ge is one of the big guys, and then develops himself according to the development model of Tencent in the previous life.
Then he really needs to deal with it well and even start planning in advance, but now these two big guys seem to be having a lot of fun. The game industry is just using the huge user base of its chat software to cooperate with other game companies to make profits.
There is no intention to get involved in the game market yet, which naturally makes him feel relieved. Especially after seeing that the two big guys are both looking to kill each other and unify the world, and then talk about other developments, he feels more relieved.
So the purpose of getting involved in the instant messaging software market can be postponed a little and more adequate preparations can be made. At present, the game users are basically stable. Now it is to use Tieba and browsers to bundle those who are not keen on game players.
If this aspect is also done well, then whether he wants to make instant messaging software, or do Weibo, or other things, it is equivalent to packing all netizens to fight. It is much more powerful than CC and MM, which seem to have many users now. It is definitely a big fish hidden in deep water.
"It has reached two million, with hundreds of thousands of posts and 800,000 responses every day. The online popularity and activity are very good. And the guidance of some social hot issues is very popular in Tieba, and almost all netizens who are online know it. Some news can be seen from Tieba, which makes those portals start to be unfriendly to us."
Qiu Bosong couldn't help but smile, thinking back to when he was in Kingsoft, he was also a big boss and was very awesome, but compared to the four major portals, he felt a little short.
After all, in this era, portals are kings, and they are at the top of the pyramid of the Internet industry, looking down on other peers in this industry. Although Qiu Bosong had the determination to compete with these big guys from the beginning.
But the portal traffic was tightly held by these people, and it could be said that he was powerless to surpass them. But who would have thought that in just a few years, he not only controlled more than 93% of the browsers currently covering computers across the country, but also launched Tieba, which made these big guys gradually feel the pain.
At present, these portals not only increase the technical construction of the discussion area under each news, but also launch a mode similar to Tieba people clicking on the news to pin it, which is obviously imitating Tieba.
The big guys who used to look up to him are now imitating him. Just thinking about this makes me feel very happy.
"What about the game chat system?" Yang Dongxu continued to ask.
"At present, Legend is okay, because it is a full-screen game and basically people chat inside the game, and the usage rate and user feedback of the friend chat system are very good. But the users of Swordsman, although they also chat with friends in the game, because it is not a full-screen game, the number of people who use CC or MM to chat with friends while playing games has remained high."
Speaking of the in-game chat system, Chang Hao couldn't help but look at Yang Dongxu with admiration. At the beginning, Chang Hao was actually a little resistant to the chat system inside the game.
Because it really takes up too much game resources, as a game designer, Chang Hao's main focus is undoubtedly on the essence of the game, such as the dungeon settings, and various gameplay and game backgrounds, etc. What the hell is friend chat?
But after observing the market for several years, he found that the friend system inside the game is definitely an indispensable part of a successful game.
Some people play games at the beginning because the game is fun, Legend is fun to chop, Swordsman's pictures are very martial arts and the rivers and lakes are very awesome.
But over time, the pure excitement of the game is constantly decreasing. Many game players only go online every day to maintain a very high level of activity, and spend almost all their free time in the game throughout the year.
In addition to the fun of playing the game, another reason is the friends in the game. The time and money invested in the account have a certain bond, and the friends in the game are undoubtedly a deeper emotional bond.
In the game, bragging, dungeons, and killing people with friends gradually make this kind of relationship no weaker than making friends in real life. Of course, there have been some bad things, such as some people being cheated by friends in the game.
But there are also some warm things, such as the good friends in the game have met in real life and become good buddies, extending from the game to help each other in real life, and even some have become lovers.
In general, this friend chat system is a positive and positive supplement to the game and has a great role in promoting it. It is also a link that many game companies must do when developing new games after seeing the strangeness of it.
"Continue to optimize. Currently, whether you log in to the game or the chat software, you need to use a computer. That is to say, if the other party is not in the game, then the computer is definitely not turned on, and naturally you cannot contact them through CC or MM.
Of course, compared to games, chat software has its own advantages. They include real friends, family and even colleagues who do not play games.
But we still try to make chatting in the game more convenient, more interesting and more attractive than chatting with chat software. This will insure players to a greater extent.
You should know that these two chat software are not friendly to us. The contracts with the game companies they signed all have exclusive agreements. Gamers cannot invest too much energy in chat software.
In this way, they have a greater chance of seeing game promotions from other game companies, and thus leave our game to play other games. You must know that we are a point card game, and every minute they leave is a loss for us." Yang Dongxu knocked on the table and said.
"I understand." Chang Hao nodded. Although he felt that his boss's requirements were a bit high, it was also the actual situation. The games currently launched by Xu Xuri Technology are all point card games. As long as players download the account and play other games for one minute, they will lose one minute of money.
"Please organize the content of the next version of Legend and Swordsman and I will take a look at it in the next few days. Put in the updated content that you have discussed and confirmed, and other electronic content that you think of.
I will notify you if there is anything else. You can go and do your own things first. Leave Xu Youzhen here." Yang Dongxu said.
Qiu Bosong and Chang Hao packed up their things. Xu Youzhen sat in his seat with a serious face, looking at his nose and his heart.
