Just when Liu Qingfeng was furious, Hao Yun, who was on vacation in his hometown in Jiangling, was sitting in front of the computer worrying about the few remaining manuscripts of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman".
However, at this moment, a line of light blue pop-up windows suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, instantly taking away the sadness on his face.
[Congratulations to the host, the mission is completed!]
[Requirement: The monthly revenue of "Love and the Producer" exceeds 50 million]
[Reward: A memory fragment.]
Compared with the difficulty of the task itself, the reward was quite satisfactory. It did not bring any unexpected feeling to Hao Yun, nor was it a surprise.
But what Hao Yun didn't expect was that just halfway through the month, Lian and the Producer's turnover had already exceeded 50 million. When the New Year factor is added to the end of the month, he might not be able to reach 100 million.
100 million turnover...
Mr. Tang is afraid that Mr. Tang will become a reality after this incident.
His index finger touched the inventory, and as a pale golden light flashed, the memory fragments quickly turned into dots of light and merged into his fingertips. A line of light blue pop-up windows quickly appeared in his field of vision.
[Unlock Memory·Game: Clash of Clans]
Clash of Clans
Seeing these four words, Hao Yun was stunned for a moment, and his expression became a little subtle.
Why is it a mobile game again
Hao Yundao is no stranger to the game Clash of Clans. After all, his main occupation before his rebirth was game planning. It is naturally impossible that he has not studied this masterpiece that once set a cumulative revenue record for the iOS platform.
The clean and refreshing painting style and unique tower defense gameplay, the smooth upgrade curve from version 1 to 8, and the relatively balanced gameplay design made this game immediately appear on the game APP download list in major software markets after the public beta. Top of the list.
In Hao Yun's impression, the popularity of this game lasted for three years. In an industry where the update rate of mobile games is calculated on a monthly basis, being able to maintain popularity for such a long time can undoubtedly be called longevity.
In fact, if you speak with your conscience and scratch out this game, even if you don't win the first prize, you can definitely count it as the second or third prize.
However, Hao Yun's mood at this time did not feel much excitement.
It's not that he's being hypocritical, it's just that compared to the games that impressed him in his previous life, he really doesn't have much interest in mobile games, and his favorability is only slightly stronger than that of web games.
Although it is true that mobile games make money, in comparison, he still wants to restore the classic stand-alone game masterpieces from his previous life to this world.
After all, Yunmeng Group now makes a lot of money. Under normal circumstances, even if it takes ten lifetimes, it may not be all spent, and his interest in making money is no longer as strong as when he first founded Yunmeng Group.
The light blue pop-up window gradually dissipated, and then a flood of memories flooded into my mind.
Opening the laptop on the desk, Hao Yun combed through the fragmented memories swirling in his mind, while converting them into text and organizing them into documents.
From the general gameplay ideas to the detailed numerical design of buildings and units at each level, Hao Yun wrote down almost everything he could in detail.
Referring to this document, although it may not be possible to completely restore the Clash of Clans in his memory, it is more than enough to make a basically similar game.
Busy from morning to evening.
Hao Yun, who finally sorted out the memories in his mind into words, leaned on the chair and stretched. After resting for a while, he took out his mobile phone and called Lin Jun.
As soon as the call was connected, before Hao Yun could speak, an excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Boss! I was about to call you. Guess what happened?"
what happened
Hao Yun thought for a while and tried to ask.
"...Lian and Producer's monthly revenue exceeds 50 million?"
The other end of the phone was silent for ten seconds.
It wasn't until Jun Lin coughed that the silence was broken.
"You... already know everything?"
Hearing the embarrassment in this sentence, Hao Yun smiled and said.
"That's right... Let's not talk about this first. I want to ask you something. Is there any way to quickly recruit a large number of people?"
Hearing this strange question, Lin Jun was slightly stunned.
"Recruit people quickly?"
"Yes," Hao Yun nodded and said straight to the point, "I plan to develop a new game. It is an SLG-themed mobile game. The gameplay is somewhat similar to a combination of tower defense and strategy games. I have already written the plan. , but Yunmeng Games seems to be a little short on manpower, and I want to recruit more people."
"It's okay if we don't have enough manpower... But recruiting now can't quench our thirst." Lin Jun pinched his eyebrows and continued in a troubled tone, "Making games is not physical labor after all, even if it is a professional counterpart, Newly recruited employees also need to spend some time training before they can use it, right?"
In fact, it’s not just employee training.
The birth of a game requires the full cooperation of every employee in the team. This tests not only the ability, but also the tacit understanding between team members, the team's management system, etc.
If you just need to recruit a capable employee, a headhunting company can easily solve the problem. But obviously, what Mr. Hao needs is not just a few people, but a game production team with development experience.
And this is not a problem that can be solved by hiring a headhunting company to recruit a few people.
Seeing that Mr. Lin didn't speak, Hao Yun asked.
"Then do you have any good ideas?"
"It depends on your specific requirements," Lin Jun said helplessly. "If you need a game production team that can independently complete research and development work, and you need it immediately... In addition to acquiring an existing game company, I can’t think of a better way.”
"M&A?"
Hearing this word, Hao Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.
yes!
There is no one we can buy directly with money!
How could he forget this trick!
Seeing that the boss's voice clearly sounded like he was moved, Lin Jun, who was holding the phone, looked hesitant and coughed twice before continuing.
"Boss... To be honest, I don't really recommend this option."
"Why?" Hao Yun asked strangely, "I think this is a good idea."
Sighing secretly in his heart, it turned out to be the case, and Mr. Lin patiently explained.
"If you think about it, is it possible for a company with good profits to sell itself? Unless we offer a very high premium and offer a price that the other party cannot refuse, but then even if we buy it back, it will be difficult to recover the capital. And those Companies without a premium basically don’t make much money and may still owe money. After we buy it back, we not only have to help them pay off their debts, but also help them worry about profitability. It’s really unnecessary!”
It's not that he doubted his boss's vision.
It's just purely out of the responsibility of a professional CEO that I can't bear to see my boss fall into the pit.
However…
Unfortunately, these heartfelt words stating the pros and cons failed to convince Mr. Hao who was determined to go his own way.
After listening to Lin Jun's words, Hao Yun did not change his mind and continued calmly.
"You don't have to worry about this."
"Just do what I say and acquire a game company with independent research and development capabilities and experience in operating and maintaining SLG-type mobile games."
