The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 717: Catch Someone and Take Advantage of Him

Yang Dongxu sat in the office of Xuri Technology again. Compared with a few months ago, Xuri Technology was just a newcomer in the domestic online game industry. Not to mention the leader Zhonglian, even the "Xia Ke Xing" and "UO" that were starting to pave the way did not regard Xuri Technology as a human being.

But in just a few months, the leading position of domestic online games changed hands directly. "Legend" harvested the current netizen market in the form of autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, and became the absolute leader.

This made the domestic online game pioneers who were originally optimistic about the game, and some ambitious people instantly see the fatness of the online game cake, so they began to increase their investment.

As Xuri Technology was established not long ago, as a newcomer, although it had Yang Dongxu, a local tyrant, it had no shortage of funds, but it was seriously short of manpower. At present, there was only one game department, "Legend", and the staff was already stretched, and there was no way to continue to expand other games.

So after a short pause in Xuri Technology, it finally ushered in its first strong opponent, "King of Kings". To be honest, "Lord of Kings" was not introduced into China until 2000. It only started to become popular in Korea in 1999.

However, due to the influence of "Legend", many domestic online game companies not only focused on the Internet powers in Europe and the United States, but also paid attention to their neighboring country. So a year in advance, "Lord of Kings" was just a little bit popular in Korea, and it was directly introduced into China by domestic game companies.

In fact, "Legend" is also an early child compared to later generations, because if there was no Yang Dongxu, it would enter China later than "Lord of Kings". Therefore, the development of history was changed because of his inadvertent action. Although the big reverse did not change, the development of some things has changed.

However, compared with "Legend", a game that was perfected early by Yang Dongxu, "Lord of Kings" is competitive, but it is not a big threat.

The reason why I am reading this report is because it is a signal. In addition to "King of Kings", "Stone Age" and "Magic Baby" which are popular in the future and are still under development but not launched have also become the target of domestic game companies.

So there is an example of "Legend" landing and sweeping the market, and "King of Kings" following closely and making a lot of money. There is a high possibility that games like "Stone Age" and "Magic Baby" that can really cause a huge impact and threat to "Legend" will enter the country in advance.

"Lack of manpower!" Looking at the file report in his hand, Yang Dongxu frowned deeply.

He has no shortage of good games. He can accurately find those games that will be popular as long as they are bought, and directly intercept them before others notice them.

So what he lacks now is the company's senior management who can manage and develop games, the middle-level management of various departments, various technical personnel, and a large number of coders.

Frowning and thinking, he couldn't help but set his sights on Kingsoft, which stood at the top of the domestic Internet pyramid. Although if you want to find online game talents, you should focus on Zhonglian and the game companies that represent "King of Kings", and it is a bit irrelevant to focus on an anti-virus software company.

But in fact, people who feel that it is irrelevant do so because they do not understand the composition of the company. Kingsoft is indeed the undisputed leader in the field of anti-virus software in China, but it does not mean that they only study anti-virus software.

Speaking of the development history of domestic online games, we have to mention Xishanju, which has left a strong mark in the history of online game development.

Xishanju is the game development department of Kingsoft, but at present, this existence that domestic game designers almost look up to has not yet entered the ranks of online games. They are still making stand-alone games.

Starting from the earliest "China Civil Aviation", "Land Mine Warfare", and "Decisive Battle of Korea", which can be said to be the first stand-alone games in China, and then made the classic game "Swordsman Love" that all old online game players must know.

As one of the most successful online game masterpieces in China that charge point cards, it can also be said to be the peak masterpiece of martial arts online games. "Swordsman Love" can be said to be the memory of a generation, and it is a very classic existence in online games.

Even after he came out, many Internet cafes with names such as "Swordsman" and "Love" opened all over the country, which shows his influence.

However, when "Swordsman Love" first appeared, it was not an online game. It was also a stand-alone game that followed the inertia of Xishanju to develop stand-alone games. It was only after discovering that this theme was popular, and the stand-alone game market was compressed in various ways, and the online game market was particularly hot, that Xishanju made it into an online game.

After thinking for a while, Yang Dongxu picked up the phone in front of him and dialed it.

Lei Jiaozhu, who was in the research room of Shenzhen Dongxu Technology R&D Center, was doing research seriously. Suddenly, the assistant outside came in and motioned him to go out to answer the phone.

Lei Jiaozhu, who was a little unhappy about being interrupted in his research, walked out of the research room, and then heard Yang Dongxu's voice on the phone. The unhappiness in his heart was slightly reduced, but after hearing Yang Dongxu's request, his face instantly became strange.

At present, the domestic Internet can be said to have sold the first part of the pioneering work. Many later Internet giants and Internet empires were basically established and developed in the past one or two years.

Therefore, after this group of giants emerged collectively, whether it was to dig talents in Silicon Valley in the United States or to snatch talents in China, it can be said that it was very fierce, so mutual poaching became the norm for Internet companies.

But it was the first time that Lei Jiaozhu encountered a company poaching like Yang Dongxu. However, he quickly adjusted his mentality. After all, Yang Dongxu was his big boss at present. He had no reason not to answer the information that wanted to know about Xishanju that did not involve confidentiality regulations.

After a phone call, Yang Dongxu leaned back in the boss chair and rubbed his chin. The situation was better than he thought, but it was also much worse.

Although Xishanju is one of the important components of Kingsoft, the current focus of Kingsoft's development is still on computer software, such as word processing system WPS, antivirus software and "Kingsoft PowerWord".

This is Kingsoft's old business. It has been doing this since its establishment in 1988, and it has always been the leader of the domestic Internet in this area. He has no reason to give up.

The Xishanju game studio was not established until 1996, which was two years ago. And although the revenue of several stand-alone games launched in succession is not bad, it is still lacking compared with the main software of the company. So this department is not an inseparable part of Kingsoft, which is undoubtedly very good news.

The bad news is that after Yang Dongxu poached Lei Jiaozhu last time, Kingsoft seemed to feel a sense of crisis. In order to develop better in China, he accepted Lenovo, the absolute giant in the current domestic computer industry, to invest.

Lenovo is currently the largest shareholder of Kingsoft. Facing Lenovo, a giant, if you want to use money to poach people, the difficulty level will undoubtedly rise from ordinary difficulty to regional level compared with the previous Kingsoft.

More importantly, because of his influence, domestic online games have a trend of becoming a hit as soon as they become popular. At this time, if you poach Lenovo's wall, they will suddenly notice that online games can make so much money, and then turn around and develop the online version of "Swordsman Love", which is like shooting yourself in the foot.

So how to quietly poach Xishanju, which they don't value very much at present, without attracting the attention of Lenovo's senior management? This matter needs to be planned well.

After processing documents at the company for a whole day, Yang Dongxu drove back to the residential area with a dizzy head. He now lives in the same place where he lived with Chen Xin before.

Although he has temporarily determined that he will focus on the development of Hangzhou in the next few years, he has so many companies under his control and has to fly around several times a month, so he is too lazy to change houses.

After going upstairs and opening the door, Yang Dongxu was stunned to see that the lights in the house were on. Then he went into the house to change shoes and Chen Xin, who was wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with a shovel in her hand.

"Are you back?"

"Well, when did you come back?" Yang Dongxu nodded, took off his coat with the strength of Chen Xin's raised hands and asked.

"I came back in the afternoon. Have you eaten? I saw that your toiletries in the bathroom have been moved. I went to buy vegetables in the afternoon."

"I haven't eaten yet. I originally wanted to go back to take a shower and ask Yang Jiayan to deliver the food." Because I don't live here for a long time, I don't have the phone number of the nearby small restaurant. If I don't want to go out to eat, I can only ask Yang Jiayan to deliver the food.

"That's perfect. I cooked a lot of rice." Chen Xin hung his coat on the hanger, poured him a glass of water and put it on the table, then walked back to the kitchen with a spatula.

Yang Dongxu leaned against the kitchen door with a cup of water in his hand, watching Chen Xin start cooking again on the gas stove: "Is Qiandao Lake going well?"

"It's OK. The basic construction has begun. After that, it's a matter of construction progress, quality control, and cost control. In fact, although Qiandao Lake is not as famous as West Lake, its natural resources are much richer than West Lake."

"This is natural. Qiandao Lake is more than ten times the size of West Lake in terms of area. If you just draw a few islands and build them well, it will not be worse than West Lake. However, whether it is the literati relics or the cultural sedimentation of both sides, West Lake is far better than Qiandao Lake."

"Chinese people like to join in the fun, so I don't think it's worthwhile to invest so much money in the development of Qiandao Lake." Chen Xin turned her head and glanced at Yang Dongxu. In fact, she had said this once before. Although the project has started and the contract has been signed and cannot be reversed, she still insists on her opinion.
