Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

Chapter 225 You have a brighter road ahead

Since the closed beta of "Dragon Babu" without deleting files, all the servers have been full. For this reason, new servers have to be added to relieve the pressure on the servers. However, this still cannot stop the enthusiasm of players. The new servers are also becoming popular. A large number of players are often I was cursing my mother while waiting in line, which was both painful and happy.

The popularity of the game surprised and delighted Zhang Chaoyang.

In recent years, with the rise of two similar competitors, Xinlang and Wangyi, Sohu has been under increasing pressure to tell stories and draw up blueprints for investors.

Wangyi has established a firm foothold in the game industry with its two game products, "Westward Journey" and "Fantasy Westward Journey". Ding Sanshi, who has a baby face that looks harmless to humans and animals, is unparalleled in the limelight.

In the past few years, as the movie industry has ushered in the blockbuster era, the domestic gaming industry has also entered an era of competition for hegemony.

Gaming has been proven to be a very violent industry, but it has a bad reputation and has even been criticized as "electronic opium" by the central media. The richest man, Chen Tianqiao, cannot bear this huge mental pressure and is turning the ship around and investing huge financial resources. To develop a TV box product.

After the old king abdicates, other Internet companies will naturally not give up this huge market.

In just a few years, hundreds of game companies have emerged across the country. In addition to NetEase, companies such as Penguin, Lianzhong, The9, Giant, Kingsoft, and Perfect have all emerged in the game industry.

The outstanding performance of "World of Warcraft" after entering the country has pointed out the direction for game companies. Online game products that imitate "Warcraft" and even shout slogans to surpass "Warcraft" have been released one after another.

Under this pressure, Sohu's large-scale PC game product "Dragon Babu", which took several years to develop, has received strong internal testing data, which is very good for its market value.

Zhang Chaoyang felt that he was doing well again.

But then troubles came one after another.

The performance of the internal beta data exceeded expectations, making "Dragon Movie" a product that will definitely make a lot of money.

This is just a closed beta. When the public beta is fully opened and the game is officially launched, it will definitely become Sohu’s cash cow.

The only unsatisfactory thing is that the copyright of the game "Dragon Babu" is in the hands of Dreamweaver Culture. Relying on this copyright authorization, Dreamweaver Culture has to divide 15% of the profits of the "Dragon Babu" game.

Including Zhang Chaoyang, when he signed the contract, no one expected that this game would be so popular, so he was quite happy when he signed the contract.

Now that I look at it again, I can’t help but feel a little uncomfortable!

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chaoyang felt that the cigars in his hands no longer smelled good.

The shareholders are again making insinuations, hoping that Zhang Chaoyang and Jin Yong will tear up the contract, or even come up with the crooked idea of ​​fabricating profits. No matter what method is used, the piece of cake of Dreamweaver Culture must be cut smaller, or even kicked out directly.

Zhang Chaoyang was very confused. It was not that he had not been moved, but he was a little ashamed of this kind of behavior.

Sohu and DreamWeaver Culture have cooperated on many projects. Not long ago, they also obtained online broadcast authorization for many film and television dramas from Zhang Yihang. Overall, the cooperation is quite pleasant.

And Zhang Chaoyang also admired Zhang Yixing, especially his free and easy personality and lifestyle, which made him yearn for him inexplicably among the young models who indulged in the feasting and feasting.

Zhang Chaoyang has dealt with many business leaders across the country, and he seems to be the most relaxed when sitting with Zhang and his party.

This made him wonder if he also had a Buddhist side. The phone rang again. Zhang Chaoyang looked at the name on the caller ID. It belonged to another shareholder. He knew what it was without even thinking about it. He snorted, let the phone ring, and smoked his cigar in peace.

I really envy Zhang Yixing, who insists on not bringing in shareholders. Although this cannot increase the valuation of Dreamweaver Culture, it does not need to be responsible to shareholders. That is the life of a boss!

In comparison, he seems to be working for shareholders. Although the company claims to have a certain market value, it is all paper wealth. If the shareholders are excluded and only the actual cash in hand is considered, Zhang Chaoyang considers himself to be far worse than Zhang Yixing. .

When he finished smoking the cigar, he opened his address book and dialed Zhang Yixing's phone number and said, "Brother, I'm feeling miserable!"

Zhang Yixing's curious voice came from the phone, "What's wrong? Lost in love?"

"Tch, you're underestimating me!" Zhang Chaoyang chuckled and told him what happened in the past few days, "Is the cooperation between Daxia Jin and you reliable? Don't let anyone go to him to tell you!"

"There is no problem there. In terms of IP operation, no company in China can match DreamWeaver Culture. Besides, the 15% is not just that DreamWeaver Culture will take away all of it, Jin Yong will also get a piece of it. It is an authorized partner over the years. Dream Weaver Culture is what makes him the most money. His family can tell the difference between a good meal and a good meal, not to mention the contractual restrictions!”

"Then I can rest assured, lest something unexpected happens and you think it's my brother who has changed his mind!"

"Charles, you have an easier road!" Zhang Yixing laughed loudly on the phone.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhang Yi Xing say again: "If you have time, come to Yueshan. Well, bring the person in charge of the game here, and I will give you some small games!"

Zhang Chaoyang thought he heard wrongly and plucked his ears, "It's just you, return the game, don't fool me, I won't go. In the current game market, large-scale client games are the direction!"

Zhang Yixing uttered a curse word over there, and then heard him say: "Four words for you! Tell your game director that "Dragon Babu" needs an optimization, that is, automatic path finding! As for what he did after hearing this Let’s wait and see what the decision is!”

"Automatic pathfinding?" Zhang Chaoyang chewed on these four words in confusion, not understanding what this had to do with "Tian Long Ba Bu".

After Zhang Yihang hung up the phone, Zhang Chaoyang thought for a moment and dialed the number of the game director Wang Tao and passed these four words over.

As a result, Wang Tao hung up the phone immediately after hearing this.

Zhang Chaoyang chuckled, thinking that Zhang and his party are still young and like to brag in unfamiliar fields!
After dialing Zhang Yixing's number again, Zhang Chaoyang laughed loudly when he came up, "Yixing, you can't do it. I just told you those four words...!"

"Bang!" The office door was suddenly pushed open violently, and Wang Tao barged straight in. The sexy little secretary followed in hastily and seemed to be unable to stop Wang Tao, standing at the door in panic.

Wang Tao came to his desk, smashed the table with his fist excitedly, and shouted: "Charles, how did you come up with such a genius idea like automatic path finding? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Seeing Wang Tao jumping up and down like an orangutan in heat, Zhang Chaoyang opened his mouth and suddenly felt like a clown.

"Hey, Charles, what did you say just now? I didn't hear you clearly?" Zhang Yixing asked on the phone.

Zhang Chaoyang whispered: "Well, Yixing, I mean you are so good! Well, you are so good!"
