Little Jiaojiao of the paranoid boss turned wild

Ou Liping, who was suddenly named, was taken aback for a moment, looked up at Lu Boran's calm gaze, and then quickly looked away.

She turned on the laptop in front of her, operated it a few times, and then a picture appeared on the big screen in front of everyone.

"On the left is the revenue and number of players of [Swordsman] in the first half of this year, and on the right is the statistical comparison of [Swordsman] in the first half of last year."

Ou Liping looked calm, looked at the picture on the big screen and said: "The financial department of the studio will conduct real-time statistics on the various games released by the studio every year. Compared with last year, the revenue and the number of players have a clear downward trend. Of course, I have not released the data for the second half of the year. If we just compare it with the previous year, this year has dropped by [-]% compared to last year."

As she spoke, she tapped the keyboard lightly with her fingertips, and the picture on the big screen was replaced by another one.

"This is based on the statistics for the second half of last year. It can be seen that the downward trend has been added. The people in our finance department have made some calculations. This year's decline is [-]% compared to last year. About, the highest will not exceed ten percent."

She turned to look at Lu Boran, and continued: "According to the statistics, [Swordsman] has been going downhill in the past two years. There are many reasons. It is nothing more than the current fierce competition in the online game market. I think Wang Peng Both Lai and Chen Cheng are correct, but I am more inclined to Wang Penglai's suggestion."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the two changed at the same time, Wang Penglai's frown relaxed, while Chen Cheng's face was still stinky.

Lu Boran gestured, "Go ahead."

Ou Liping nodded, and said: "[Sword Walker] is a large-scale online game that our studio focuses on. When it first came out, it set off a wave of heated discussions across the country. After ranking first for two consecutive years, this game has become Our studio is a signature game."

"I don't know anything else, I can only talk by looking at the data. [Sword Walker] has gradually lost its popularity in the past two years, but it is still at the forefront of the list, which shows its strength, not to mention the data. From the looks of it, the downward trend is not big, and less than [-]%, which proves that this game can still bring considerable benefits to the company.”

"Furthermore, it is impossible for a game to be at the top of the list for many years, and it will always be taken over by new games. It has been almost eight years since Xingke appeared a few years ago, and although the popularity has dropped considerably, it is still in operation.”

"It's not okay for a game to only talk about feelings, but if a game doesn't even have feelings, wouldn't it feel like a failure?"

She paused, then continued: "I think [Sword Walker] can go further, not just for another two years, I think it can last for at least another five years."

"Five years?"

Hearing this, Chen Cheng finally couldn't sit still. He slapped the table, stared at Ou Liping and said, "How can a game last for ten years? What's more, the purpose of the company is to make profits, not to talk about feelings, you know How much does it cost to operate such a large-scale game [Sword Walker]?"

"I would say that instead of throwing money into it, it's better to spend money and reinvest in new games."

Facing Chen Cheng's doubts, Ou Liping said calmly: "My goal is to make the company profitable, and now [Sword Walker] is creating hundreds of millions of revenue for the company every month."

"What's more, [Swordsman] has such a huge player base, not only domestically, but also overseas. The money earned every month is almost more than the cost paid. Isn't that true?"

"Then how long can it last? [Sword Walker] is going downhill now."

"But it's making money, and it's bringing in two or three times more revenue than most of the studio's other games, and by the way, I'm talking about the sum of the other games here."

"Oliping! You..."

"enough!"

Lu Boran sternly interrupted Chen Cheng, who was taken aback for a moment, then closed his mouth unwillingly.

Liu Fuzhen sat beside him and glanced at him.

Lu Boran felt a little angry in his heart. He came here to discuss with them, but it turned out to be good. He quarreled twice before they started talking.

He looked coldly at Chen Cheng, who was sitting on the seat with an expression of disbelief, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Cheng, just now you have been saying that you want the company to withdraw funds from [Swordwalker], Wang Penglai and When Ou Liping spoke, you stood up and refuted emotionally."

"Well, then I will give you a chance now, and you can talk about your thoughts and suggestions."

Chen Cheng sat up slightly and looked at Lu Boran: "Boss Lu, it's not that I want to quarrel, it's just that I can't control my personality for a while."

"Actually, I wouldn't say it's aimed at Wang Penglai or the game [Sword Walker], but the starting point of my suggestion is also for the company's good. What is the purpose of our studio developing games? Isn't it just for the company? Is it profitable?"

"[Sword Walker] This game, yes, I admit it is very good, I have played it before, it is a good game, but there is no game that can always stand on the altar, let alone the competition in the online game market now Even now [Swordsman] is still popular, but sooner or later, it will be pushed down by others."

"The cost of this game is very high, and a lot of people are involved. For example, in our studio, one-third of the people in the technical department are all [Sword Walker], and there are also many people in the planning department. A small part belongs to them, but what about other games in our studio? It has not been well-known.”

"Since the establishment of the studio, dozens of games have been released on the market, including various types. In addition to [Sword Walker], there is also a decryption game that is quite popular, but the studio cannot only rely on For the game [Sword Walker]? If one day it fails, the revenue of the studio will drop suddenly, so there are hundreds of people in our studio."

"It will take time to redevelop a popular game. During the period, everyone's salary must be borne by the company, as well as research funds. This is not a small expense, not necessarily able to succeed."

Lu Boran was thoughtful.

In fact, what Chen Cheng said is also reasonable. After all, the studio now seems to bring huge benefits to the company, but in fact, more than 70.00% of them are brought by [Sword Walker]. If one day [Sword Walker] 】No, it will also affect the overall interests of the company.

but……

Lu Boran looked at Chen Cheng, how could he not see the little girl in Chen Cheng's heart?

Chen Cheng is also a game technician, specializing in game development, and recently he is working on a project, which is said to be a large-scale online game, but the production of such a large-scale online game requires a lot of capital cost in addition to time, and it may not be possible. become a hit.

If his income can't keep up with the cost of the initial investment, wouldn't the company's money be wasted?

Lu Boran knowingly asked: "So, what are your thoughts and suggestions?"

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth raised, and he said with an extremely confident attitude: "My suggestion is to gradually reduce the funds of [Sword Walker] from now on, and transfer the money to the game I am researching. I can guarantee that as long as one In a few years, the game I developed will definitely become a hit, and the popularity will be higher than [Sword Walker]!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Penglai couldn't hold back his anger. He also slapped the table, stood up abruptly, stared at Chen Cheng and cursed: "I knew it! You are carrying private goods, selfish! What the hell game are you researching, and you still want to become a blockbuster? Pooh! It’s a loser!”

When Chen Cheng was scolded by him, he was furious. He stood up and said: "Wang Penglai! What are you talking about? What's wrong with my game? It's innovative, so interesting, don't think that relying on it is better than me You are here to tell me what to do!"

"You!" Wang Penglai pointed at him, trembling with anger.

As for Lu Boran, who was sitting in a wheelchair, his face turned black, the air in the room dropped several degrees in an instant, and his voice was extremely cold.

"enough!"
