Rice Group Headquarters.
Xu Qianshi, who was sitting at his desk, looked at the survey data compiled by the marketing department and suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Do you know what I regret most?"
Wu Jianhua, who was standing in front of his desk, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said.
"I can not guess it."
"It was the school recruitment meeting."
After a pause, Xu Qianshi looked away from the information in his hand, raised his eyes to the ceiling, sighed softly and continued.
"If I had convinced the board of directors to buy Yunmeng Group with 200 million, it would have been the most successful investment in this century."
The information in his hand at this moment is the result of a third-party research agency hired by Rice Entertainment to investigate Yunmeng Group and its subsidiaries.
The focus of this report is mainly on several subsidiaries whose main business is gaming.
In particular, Magic Box Culture, which has only recently completed its merger and acquisition, and its new game Clash of Clans are the focus of the entire research report.
Whether it is the number of downloads or daily active users, among the dozen mobile games released during the same period, Clash of Clans has completely crushed all data.
Even Hero Killer, which was released earlier than Clash of Clans, and Love and Producer, which was released by the same subsidiary of the game company in the past, are slightly behind in some data.
Judging from the current user growth trend, this guy will definitely not be able to escape the throne of the best mobile game of the year this year.
Unless Yunmeng Group makes a more popular game in the second half of the year, or the two games Hero Killing and Love and Producer start a new round of growth in future updates.
It was only then that Xu Qiancai suddenly realized that he seemed to have subconsciously accepted that Yunmeng Games was invincible in the field of mobile games, and the only ones who could surpass them were themselves.
When he thought of this, he felt even more regretful.
Looking at Mr. Xu who looked remorseful, Wu Jianhua said in a comforting tone.
"Even if we buy this kind of talent back together with the company, we will definitely not be able to keep it. In the end, all we will have is an empty shell. I think it was right not to buy it!"
"Maybe."
Xu Qianshi smiled, but he didn't dwell on this issue for too long. After thinking for a while, a curious expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he looked at Wu Jianhua and asked.
"Tell me why Hao Yun suddenly designed such a game."
Hearing this inexplicable question, Wu Jianhua was slightly stunned and asked confused.
"This... how could I possibly know."
He has no superpowers, so how can he know what others are thinking.
Seeing that Wu Jianhua did not understand what he meant, Mr. Xu continued.
"You said... could it be related to the mysterious new game he is planning?"
Wu Jianhua thought for a while, shook his head, and expressed his opinion.
"It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but I think the possibility is still very low."
Xu Qianshi's eyebrows slightly raised with a hint of interest, and he asked curiously.
"Why?"
"To put it bluntly, although Clash of Clans combines the gameplay of real-time strategy games in terms of operation, it is still a tower defense game based on strategy. Players can place fortifications or infantry units, but they cannot directly operate them."
"Yunmeng Games has almost no experience with RTS games. Especially compared to RPGs, the market for RTS games is not very popular. There is no need for them to venture into areas they do not understand."
"That makes sense."
Xu Qianshi nodded thoughtfully. Although the expression on his face was not relaxed, he did feel a little relieved in his heart.
A few years ago, "Assassin's Chronicles: Ming Dynasty" produced by a studio under DaMi Entertainment achieved great success. Looking at the entire third-person RPG game category, there is no one that can beat it.
The IP series of Assassin's Chronicles has become completely popular. Xu Qianshi, who has tasted the benefits, then sets his sights on the category of RTS games. He plans to let his game studio create a popular RTS game and replicate Assassin's Legends in the RTS field. success.
Theoretically, a large category can only accommodate two or three phenomenal games.
Nowadays, in the Xia Kingdom stand-alone game market, in the entire RTS game category so far, although there are many games, there is no phenomenon or game that can trigger discussion among all players.
In Xu Qianshi's eyes, this was simply an undeveloped virgin land.
But if Yunmeng Group also sets its sights on this piece of cake, they will have to face a strong competitor.
But now it seems that this possibility is not very high
Just when Xu Qianshi breathed a sigh of relief, Hao Yun, who was far away in the library of Jiangcheng University, finally pressed the last button on the keyboard.
Looking at the documents filling the screen, a smile gradually appeared on his lips. With an expression of relief on his face, he leaned back on the chair and stretched.
"Finally done."
The Dark Portal and the Fall of Stormwind City, the plot of Warcraft 1 has officially come to an end. The total length is 960,000 words, which is much longer than expected.
In this section of the plot, Kil'jaeden is leading the Horde to make final preparations for the invasion of Azeroth, while Medivh, the last guardian of Tirisfal, is still competing with Sargeras. control of the soul.
Regarding this part of the story, Blizzard even made a movie specifically for it.
Although it was the Frozen Throne expansion pack for the third generation of Warcraft that brought the game of Warcraft to its peak, the plots of the first and second generations and the Reign of Chaos are also of great significance to the construction of the entire Warcraft worldview, Hao Yun I didn't intend to just throw it away.
According to his idea, the game is of course still made according to the standards of the third generation, but the plot of the campaign starts from the first generation, and subsequent stories are released in the form of DLC.
Although squeezing out toothpaste was not his original intention, the plot of Warcraft was too long.
If he really throws them all out at once, let alone whether the players can digest such a huge amount of information, it is impossible for his operation to knock out all these things in a short time.
After sending the edited document to Li Zongzheng's mailbox, Hao Yun finally had a rare moment of leisure.
Just when he was thinking about what to do for a while, he suddenly thought of the Clash of Clans released by his subsidiary some time ago. It seemed to be exactly a week since its launch, so he searched for his game on his scarf with curiosity. .
Not surprisingly, since it became a hot search that day, more and more people are playing this game, and its popularity is even trending to surpass that of Hero Kill.
Especially after the update of the mall system, players seem to be more enthusiastic about discussions than before.
He has seen many game bloggers post base layouts, game rankings, and even game guides on their neckbands, teaching new players how to rationally use free diamonds to maximize profits, and how to rationally lay out defensive buildings to resist other players. The invasion and plunder are simply more enthusiastic than the customer service.
"It seems like this game doesn't need me to worry about."
With this in mind, Hao Yun brushed his scarf for a while and was about to turn it off and do other things.
At this moment, Lin Jun suddenly called.
After pressing the connect button, Hao Yun was about to ask what was going on when an excited voice with a hint of excitement came from the other end of the phone.
"Boss, we are rich!"
