Top of the Great Era

Zhou Buqi decided to go to Netease on a whim, which was somewhat abrupt.

However, some large domestic companies, especially well-known private companies like NetEase, have long been used to it.Whether it's Netease, Ali, or Ziweixing, all of them have a department dedicated to receiving important people.

It is not to receive the big bosses of the same industry, but mainly to receive various officials who come to investigate, which has become an indispensable cost for many large companies.

Zhou Buqi is obviously the most important person.

Boss Ding put down the work at hand and warmly came downstairs to greet him.Then I was a little surprised, because the other party... felt so simple!
There are only two people in total.

One male and one female.

The man was wearing a black down jacket, and because the weather was cold, he had buttoned the hood attached to the down jacket on his head, revealing only a little of his face; Wearing a very bright red scarf.

It was Zhou Buqi and Ning Lu.

How can there be a bit of the demeanor of a big boss?
Just like ordinary young couples, no different from those employees of NetEase.

Zhou Buqi walked over quickly, shook hands with Lao Ding, and said with a smile: "I came here temporarily, I have something to explain to you."

Mr. Ding was slightly taken aback, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I heard that Netease Games and Changyou had a little conflict recently? Did they quarrel on Weibo?"

"Hey!" Boss Ding immediately became embarrassed and waved his hands again and again, "Youfeng is a little impulsive. I have already criticized him, and there will be no more in the future. Normal business poaching, you have to express your understanding."

No matter what he thought in his heart, Boss Zhou came to the door to express his apology in person, so he had to be more magnanimous.It would be too stingy if you still care about it, don't give face or talk about it.

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Youfeng? Ding Youfeng?"

"Yes, that's him." Boss Ding nodded and added, "President of NetEase Games."

"Is he there?"

"Yes, see you?"

"it is good."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Mr. Ding said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence. If you come here at this time tomorrow, Youfeng may be going to Yangcheng."

Then, he briefly introduced the structure of Netease games.

Netease's headquarters is in Hangzhou, but Netease Games' headquarters is in Yangcheng. Ding Youfeng is the president of Netease Games.Usually, I often run between Hangzhou and Yangcheng.

A group of people went upstairs together, Zhou Buqi casually inquired about the situation, "What is the current scale of NetEase Games?"

Mr. Ding said: "The development in the past two or three years has been very fast."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "NetEase has chosen the right direction for its transformation into games. Two or three years ago, I bought a NetEase stock for about 3 million US dollars. I looked at the data that day, and the stock It’s now worth more than $8 million.”

What he was talking about was the investment of Pluto Capital.

Mr. Ding said frankly: "Yes, NetEase's stock price has risen rapidly in recent years, mainly due to the development of the game industry."

Zhou Buqi was very emotional.

Or do you say they are excellent?
Now is the trough period of the game industry. Many big game companies are having a hard time, and their stock prices are getting lower and lower day by day.Even Shanda, the largest game giant in China in the past, has been delisted from the US stock market in desperation.

NetEase bucked the trend and became one of the top 20 game companies in the world.

And this is also Zhou Buqi's judgment on the general situation of the game industry.

In the past ten years or so, the domestic game industry has actually been very backward.

Not at all levels.

Mainly relying on the agency of foreign games to support.

Domestically-produced games like "Perfect World" and "Dragon Babu" even have to secretly seek help from the Korean team in private, asking them to elaborate... It's a bit embarrassing.

However, the country has a huge advantage.

That is the institutional advantage of exam-oriented education in cultivating ordinary talents, and it can develop extremely fast.

The current domestic game industry is already on par with Japan and South Korea in terms of comprehensive strength, especially in terms of technology.The domestic game industry is characterized by good technology, low cost, high efficiency, and fast updates.

Like Japanese game companies, their biggest advantage is that they have developed for decades and have a deep foundation.

The family background is solid.

However, no matter how strong the family is, if they continue to prosper, there will be a day of ruin sooner or later.The domestic game industry is much stronger than them. Although the domestic game industry has no background, it is growing rapidly and making rapid progress.

Judging from the current situation, as long as the country is given a few more years... Let alone catching up with South Korea, it is no problem to win Europe and the United States.

At the end of the day, the gaming industry is the technology industry.

Look at talent.

Whoever has more talents is stronger. This is an unchanging truth.

Just like football.

Which country has a large football population, which country's football level is strong.Now the national football team is stronger than Vietnam. That is because the domestic football population is larger than that of Vietnam. After a few years, the football population in Vietnam will increase, and the number of children playing football in China will decrease. It is only natural that Vietnam surpasses the national football team. .

Of course, this is also related to the nature of the game, the game itself has no high technology.

Just like the Hollywood film industry, there is a whole set of formulas for success, just like the writing of online novels and the later assembly line Internet celebrity music.

Choose a good idea, whoever applies the formula well will be successful.

In this regard, there are enough domestic talents, so it is not uncommon to surpass Japan, South Korea, or even Europe and the United States.

However, some particularly high-end fields will not work.

Such as biopharmaceuticals, chemical materials, such as semiconductors, operating systems.

There are many ordinary talents in China.

But these fields are too high-end, and only world-class talents can promote the take-off and progress of this industry.This is not enough. In all aspects of the situation, the country has only disadvantages and no advantages.

World-class talents cannot be fooled by simple emotional guidance and patriotic propaganda.Even a skiing female athlete needs a contract of several hundred million yuan to sign her and let her represent the country in the competition. How much is that kind of world-class scientist worth?

Zhou Buqi asserted: "The game industry is not a very sophisticated industry. In this field, China will eventually become the number one in the world one day. NetEase is focusing on games, and the direction is right."

Mr. Ding nodded, feeling a little regretful, "If the protection of intellectual property rights in China can be stricter, the country will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the field of large-scale console games."

Zhou Buqi hesitated for a moment, but still made a point, "I have already seen the ceiling of the terminal game, and I still want to watch the mobile game next."

Boss Ding didn't respond.

NetEase now has 13 studios and more than 2000 employees, all of whom are developing end-game online games, as if they are desperate.In the field of mobile games, there is no real layout.

After a while, Zhou Buqi went upstairs and met Ding Youfeng, the president of Netease Games.

Explaining why he came, Ding Youfeng blushed.

A little ashamed.

Unexpectedly, after I complained a few words on Weibo, Boss Zhou even came over in person. The face was so great that he couldn't bear it.

Ding Youfeng took the initiative to lower his figure and apologized again and again, saying that he was ill-considered, and when his head got hot, he posted on Weibo, announcing the inside story of the industry to the public, and it really shouldn't be.

Then, it came to the matter of poaching the foot of the wall.

This time, it was Zhou Buqi's turn to be shocked.

Depend on!
be cheated!
Well, you Ren Yuxin, you didn't tell the truth!

He not only poached COO Zhan Zhonghui, vice president Chen Wei'an, and R&D director Wu Yunyang from Netease games, but he poached more than 30 people in one go!

Yangcheng has a core studio for Netease games called Dahua Studio.

That's right, it is the studio that develops, designs, maintains, updates, and operates the "Westward Journey" series of games.

Zhan Zhonghui was in charge, and Chen Wei'an was in charge.

As a result, when Ren Yuxin made a move, he almost dug out his core team.In addition to the three core executives, there are 12 planning and marketing staff, 5 QC staff, 8 technical engineers and 5 art staff.

No wonder Ding Youfeng was furious and went to Weibo to challenge Changyou.

This Ren Yuxin was not wronged at all when he was scolded.
