Since Yunmeng Games confirmed its cooperation with Yunmeng Technology, Li Zongzheng has had several machine learning-related books on his desk. Wu Fan, who has never played games, has also had several gaming magazines and newspapers on his experimental desk. .
Although a short period of supplementation is not enough for both parties to quickly understand each other's field, even just becoming familiar with the usage of some "proper nouns" is excellent.
"You said I studied civil engineering in the first place."
Putting down the boring professional books, Li Zongzheng pressed his eyebrows with a headache, trying to relieve the fatigue accumulated in the previous three minutes.
Liu Ye, who was standing aside, also had a headache on his face, but the reason for his headache was completely different.
"I don't know... I'm more curious about why you are asking for trouble."
"How can this be called asking for trouble?" Li Zongzheng said with dissatisfaction, "We are creating a great game. Once we succeed, it will become an unsurpassed monument in the history of games."
"But what if we can't bake this big cake?" Liu Ye asked, "Not only may we lose the reputation of Warcraft, but we may even become a laughing stock among the players."
Becoming a laughing stock is a relatively optimistic ending.
If players are willing to laugh at their failures, that's better than getting angry because they feel cheated.
However, this optimistic situation is almost impossible to happen. Every competitor of Yunmeng Games will not let go of this opportunity and pounce on them to give them a hard kick.
However, Li Zongzheng didn't seem worried.
Liu Ye even felt that, let alone worried, he had not even considered this possibility.
"Don't always think of the worst in everything. Our project has just begun. We have the best employees in the entire Xia Kingdom game industry, and our games are exported to dozens of countries in the People's Federation. If we can't do it, then No one in this world can do it.”
With a confident smile on his face, Li Zongzheng reached out and patted his colleague on the shoulder and continued.
"Since the consequences of failure are so bad, why not work hard to make it happen?"
Liu Ye sighed and looked at the ceiling.
Things have reached this point, what else can he say
Apart from going all the way to the dark side, they have no other better choice...
…
Hao Yun didn't worry too much about the World of Warcraft project, and he didn't even pay attention to the pie that the operations department drew for players.
In fact, even if he found out, he probably wouldn't have any major reaction. Firstly, he believed in Li Zongzheng's ability, and secondly, there was no need for it.
He has completely written out the world view and background of the entire game, and he has also pointed out the general direction to the development team. Apart from correcting some detailed problems, he cannot help much with other tasks. busy.
As for using artificial intelligence to achieve completely dynamic game world design, Hao Yun's understanding of the subject of machine learning is not yet so cutting-edge, but his views are still quite optimistic.
First of all, the technological development of this world is ahead of the world before he traveled. Secondly, he learned from Dean Li that brain-computer interface technology has developed to a critical point.
At this stage, either going forward or backward is highly possible.
In addition, he happened to meet Wu Fan, a researcher with a potential value of 9, at an academic conference. If he didn't take a gamble, he would be really sorry for his financial and super powers.
Based on the above reasons, his confidence in the World of Warcraft project can be said to be more unwavering than that of Li Zongzheng, even if most of his colleagues are not optimistic that they can really make this game.
In comparison, the only one that made him feel uncertain was DaMi Entertainment's "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege."
Although this is not a game published by his own company, according to the strategic cooperation agreement signed between him and Dami Entertainment, Yunmeng Group can obtain 50% of the revenue from it.
Hao Yun is also looking forward to this part of the income.
There are two reasons for this. On the one hand, Zhang Ding, who he sent to connect with Da Mi Entertainment, is a game designer with a potential value of 5. On the other hand, when this guy described his idea for "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege", Hao Yun always felt like he had seen him before.
Always felt…
It's like playing it a lifetime ago.
Although the feeling was vague, it was the same as when Li Zongzheng designed the escape from the temple. Hao Yun felt that the game that could leave such a deep impression on him would not be ordinary.
Even if it doesn't become as popular as Temple Escape, it will never let me down.
However, as he said this, when he received Zhang Ding's call from Shang Hai, Hao Yun had a bad feeling in his heart...
"Mr. Hao, how long do I have to stay here?"
Zhang Ding's voice on the other end of the phone was full of helplessness.
Hao Yun felt strange and couldn't help asking.
"You've only been here for two days, why are you in such a hurry to come back?"
"It's not that I'm in a hurry to come back, but I feel like staying here is a waste of time and completely meaningless." As he spoke, Zhang Ding began to pour out the bitter water.
After listening to his explanation, Hao Yun finally understood why he said that.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that this guy was squeezed out by the people over there.
Actually, think about it.
Rice Entertainment is also considered a top electronic entertainment company in China. Its investment areas are not just electronic games, but also video websites, game platforms, and even game consoles are within their business scope.
For such a behemoth, it's almost impossible to be as nimble as a small business. If there is no top-down management system with clear hierarchies, let alone development and growth, even survival will be a problem.
However, problems with this top-down management system are also obvious.
An overly bloated management system will lead to the rigidity of the entire company's organization, and if the managers themselves are too mediocre or not outstanding enough, it will lead to the proliferation of a clique culture.
The most typical characteristic of small circle culture is extreme xenophobia.
Zhang Ding is from Yunmeng Group. If the development team of DaMi Group produces a hit game under his guidance, then who gets the credit
Especially since "Seven Kingdoms" lost to "Warcraft" in terms of reputation and sales in head-to-head competitions before, if there is a new reference at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to saying that everyone in the Da Mi Entertainment Product Department is a loser
Not to mention that the development team will not cooperate with him, almost all departments involved in the development of the game "Operation Counter-Terrorism: Siege" are unlikely to show their true skills.
"I understand your difficulties, but I still hope you can persevere." Hao Yun sighed, and said in a comforting tone, "After all, our agreement has been signed, and when you come back, I have to send another person over. The situation then can only be worse than the situation you are facing now.”
Zhang Ding said in a helpless tone.
"It's okay. If you don't come back, you won't come back. It doesn't matter to me. It's just that the performance of the game will be unsatisfactory. Just don't blame it on me. No one listens to my opinion at all, no matter what I say They all have their own ideas about everything, but I have tried my best anyway.”
Hao Yun nodded and said in a comforting tone.
"Well, I don't blame you, just do your best."
Although it is a bit regretful, there is nothing we can do about it.
Hao Yun didn't think that Xu Qianshi was an incompetent manager, but his ability was not comparable to the founder of the Rice Group, and the talents under him were more than a little bit behind the veterans of the founding team of the Rice Group.
Even if Xu Qianshi wanted to change this situation, it would be almost impossible to do so. Because he is also an employee of the Rice Group, even though he holds shares in the group and is in the core management.
Perhaps one day in the future, Yunmeng Group will also face the same problem.
The reason why similar things have not happened so far is simply because his personal prestige in the company is unmatched, and the core management team is full of talents.
But no one can predict what the future will look like.
One day, Yunmeng Group will become a company larger than DaMi Entertainment or even DaMi Group.
Hao Yun was deeply wary of what was happening to his friend and businessman.
