Chapter 957 I Hope He Can See My Taillights

While Yang Dongxu and Chang Hao were discussing NetEase, Ding Sanshi, who was at NetEase headquarters in Guangzhou, was also looking through the business plan of "Fantasy Westward Journey" in his office.

Because it is of the same type as "Westward Journey Online", although the plan of "Fantasy Westward Journey" seems to be better than that of "Westward Journey Online", he has been suppressing it and not investing in research and development.

Or for the sake of his own stock price, he can't start two risky projects at once. After all, as a listed company, you must make the company's financial statements and research and development projects look better.

And although NetEase is now transforming into games, its main source of income is not games. The previous game that was done well was "Tianxia", but after allocating resources to Westward Journey Online, he is going to shut down Tianxia. Anyway, it is a free game, so shutting it down will not have much impact.

At present, NetEase's main profit point is still on the portal website, plus the email, Chinese full-text search, etc. that he focuses on. This is the main confidence of NetEase's listing, and games are actually just the driving force.

So he is optimistic about the game market. Although Westward Journey has been plagued by internal problems and has to postpone its listing, he has no intention of giving up. But for the sake of stock price, he cannot launch two similar games at the same time. After all, it would be fine if it is made, but it would be fun if it is not.

Therefore, after repeated consideration, he could not help but think about it after realizing that the main purpose of Sunrise Technology buying Fantasy Westward Journey seems to be to poach people.

As the current developer of turn-based games, he even entered the internal side. Although there are constant bugs. But Ding Sanshi knows this type of game best, and no one dares to confront him.

Therefore, even if the game development department of Sunrise Technology is powerful, it will not release all the people. If only some technical personnel are released, it will take some time for the other team to run-in, research and development, and internal listing.

In this way, even if Sunrise Technology has a strong ability to develop games, it will definitely not be able to make this game without two years.

Although Westward Journey has been plagued by problems in its development, it has actually been getting better. As long as the most basic configuration of the server is done well and bugs are fixed, it will take at most a few months to go public in the second half of the year.

That is to say, even if Rising Sun Technology develops a game of the same type as Fantasy Westward Journey, it will take two years for the two to compete.

In the field of the Internet, too many things can be done in two years. Not to mention two years, even a year can bring many big things, such as the rise of the inconspicuous Microsoft to surpass IBM, which is a very rapid thing.

What's more, he still has two years to cultivate this type of game market, and how many years does a half-year game have?

Five years is actually a threshold. Even if the game can basically reach its peak in five years, it will go downhill next. It is more difficult to reach the peak again than to develop a new hit game.

After all, the Internet is developing too fast, and games are updated and replaced very quickly. No matter how you update a game or how you add expansion packs, players will sooner or later get aesthetic fatigue if the foundation is there.

In this way, he can make money for two years first, and after the other party makes Fantasy Westward Journey and joins this market, he will have the upper hand in the first year no matter how powerful the other party is. Ding Sanshi is still confident about this.

Then the two of them will be even in the second year. In the third year, when the game reaches the five-year threshold, everyone will make money together. After five years, it will depend on who can last longer at the peak.

In this overall calculation, even if the game plan, the person who proposed the plan and several programmers are sold to the other party, it seems that the impact on oneself is not as great as imagined.

What he gets in return is a better server, and very good financial statements in the next two or three years. The company's market value continues to rise, which is undoubtedly a big profit.

So after failing to solve the problem of the Westward Journey server, Ding Sanshi hesitated for a while and finally began to give in. The condition is to get the game server.

As for whether the Sunrise Technology can meet this condition, it is their problem. Even if it cannot be achieved, it doesn't matter. This condition is not a dead end, but you didn't complete the condition I proposed. In the next negotiation process, the other party must make concessions on other terms, otherwise it will appear to be insincere.

Yang Dongxu obviously hasn't figured out Ding Sanshi's little thoughts. But whether he figured it out or not, the development team of Fantasy Westward Journey must be taken. This is the evergreen tree of domestic games in the future, a huge IP. NetEase's annual revenue of tens of billions is contributed by this game, at least two-thirds.

However, after some consideration, the sale of game servers must not set a precedent, but the lease terms and the price discounts and freedom of choice for subsequent updates and upgrades can be loosened.

"Let you continue to contact them. To put it bluntly, it is a deal between a game plan and a few programmers. If they ask for too much, just hold on and don't worry.

Anyway, they are now worried about the Westward Journey. Even if we don't sell this game, they can't start their own research and development in a short time. If we are really desperate, it won't be too difficult for us to set up a game development department ourselves." Yang Dongxu gave Chang Hao a rough framework.

Because he knew the future prospects of Westward Journey, he really didn't care if it was delayed for half a year or a year. At most, he could make up for it by speeding up the time when the expansion pack was updated later.

The reason why he had to buy this game was actually the same as what Ding Sanshi Changhao guessed. Yang Dongxu was mainly attracted by the game planner Xu Youzhen.

As Sunrise Technology is a game company, so it must be mainly based on the game department. After the Legend incident, Changhao was the only general who could take charge of the department. He seemed particularly pitiful as a commander without soldiers.

Changhao was tired of controlling the game development department alone, and it was easy to breed corruption and contradictions. For example, even if Legend helped Jianxian with R&D before, the two game departments had a good relationship, and Jianxia was successful and Legend was not jealous.

But the main staff of Legend R&D department were mainly Koreans, and Yang Dongxu poached them in batches. Jianxian was naturally from the Kingsoft system, and was also poached in batches. These were two naturally formed mountains, and now the person in charge of Legend has been dismissed, and the entire department is currently taken over by Changhao, which means that Kingsoft is the only one in power.

This is very detrimental to the development of the company. Let's speculate maliciously that if someone wants to poach people from Rising Sun Technology and targets Chang Hao, and Chang Hao raises his arm, Rising Sun Technology may be paralyzed by half.

And a team dominated by one company is not easy to lead, although Chang Hao and his team are all highly paid. But because of the exclusive dominance, they may feel that this high salary is still a little low, and they will want more.

But if Xu Youzhen joins, it will be different. The popularity of Fantasy Westward Journey is predictable. At that time, the two departments plus the Legend of Mir 3 will have their own merits.

Healthy competition can be formed. As long as the salary and benefits are higher than those of peers, everyone can accept it and will not have any small thoughts.

After all, Xu Youzhen, who made such a good game as Fantasy Westward Journey, also has such a salary. Why should you, Chang Hao, get more? With horizontal comparison, the team will be much easier to lead.

After Chang Hao left, Yang Dongxu sat in the boss chair and pondered for a while, not thinking about NetEase. Rather, if Xu Youzhen is poached and a game department is established, the current office area of ​​​​Xuri Technology seems a bit small.

So whether to continue to rent an office building or buy a building by itself is on the agenda. In addition to this, there is also the question of whether Xuri Technology will relocate.

Compared with Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen or Guangzhou over there, Hangzhou is indeed not a very good incubation base for the game industry. First of all, the various supporting facilities and policies are not as convenient and preferential as other cities.

So the current scale of Xuri Technology in Hangzhou actually feels constrained. If it expands its operations, it will easily hit the ceiling.

What's more, Xuri Technology will not have only three game departments in the future. There will be more game departments and other departments. After all, Yang Dongxu has never given up the idea of ​​playing chat software.

Go to Shenzhen?

I don’t know why Xiao Ma Ge didn’t appear in this life. This is a change with great uncertainty. But Feixun Technology CC has come up, and their headquarters is in Shenzhen.

MM's headquarters is in Shanghai, and the game company Jiucheng is in Beijing. Besides, he is in several cities, so going to Beijing is not a high priority, even if there is a Zhongguancun that is not called China's Silicon Valley.

"My head hurts!" Yang Dongxu knocked his head after thinking for a long time without making a final decision.

If it doesn't work, he can only release the news first and see what preferential settlement conditions are given by several cities before making a choice.

He continued to process the documents until noon, when the assistant brought the takeaway to the office. Yang Dongxu ate while browsing the news in the evening.

It was easy to see the news about Hanxin No. 1 when he just turned on the computer. Several major portals reprinted today's news release. After all, if chip research and development is forced, it is nothing wrong to classify it as the Internet industry. Even now, when people mention the Internet industry, they are actually confused and think that this is a virtual market dominated by software.

"Is there a hole in your brain?" Yang Dongxu frowned while eating lunch and watching the news, and cursed subconsciously.

This is a reprint of a news report from a certain website. There are many questions from reporters at that time, which are highlighted and highlighted in bold.

Reporter: As the first person in domestic chip research and development, what do you think of the future and your competitors?

Chen Chu: Hanxin No. 1 will become an epoch-making product, and I will continue to lead the national chip industry forward. As for competitors.

Chen Chu turned back and took a look, then smiled slightly: I didn't see the shadow of my opponent, maybe seeing my taillights is also a luxury for them.
