Chapter 158

"Lin Dong, this is the online number report of plants vs zombies." Wu Zhaopu gives Lin Feng a stack of documents.

During this period, Lin Feng took Liu Yingying's advice and redistributed the shares of "second world".

As the CEO of "second world", Wu Zhaopu obtained 5% of the shares of "second world", while Cui Ming, as the chief planner of legend, also obtained 5% of the shares. As the head of the Security Department of the company, Wang Meng was not qualified to obtain the shares. However, Lin Feng was grateful to Wang Meng for his devotion to the company. On the other hand, he was also very fond of these soldiers with a sense of justice and blood, I also hope that these soldiers can have a good belonging after their dedication to the country. And Wang Meng is also a very warm-hearted person. The year-end dividends Lin Feng gave him are believed to be mostly used by these soldiers. Therefore, Wang Meng was also given 3% of the shares, and Liu Yingying initially owned 10% of the shares, "second world" has become a shareholding company.

Although this makes Lin Feng's assets shrink slightly, as Liu Yingying said, if a company wants to become bigger and stronger and become a global multinational company, it must let its important employees have a sense of belonging and let them take the company as their home, so that they can work together to fight and be loyal to the company. And distribution company shares is undoubtedly the best way, but also the most popular way. Most of the foreign holding companies will give stock awards to the key outstanding employees of the company, in order to retain these employees and continue to serve the company for a long time.

Although the shares have been redistributed, Lin Feng still owns 77% of the shares of "second world" and has absolute say in the company.

Lin Feng glanced at the data report in his hand and was extremely satisfied with the number of online people in "Plants vs. Zombies" during this period. With the increasing number of players entering the third level, the new level and new challenge make the players enjoy themselves. In addition, Lin Feng provides pause function and "boss key" for this, which makes "Plants vs. Zombies" popular in the office, surpassing "Lianliankan" and becoming a must play game for "white collar" office hours.

"What's the matter, just say it." Seeing that Wu Zhaopu was a little restless, Lin Feng knew that he would have something to do.

"Er, this, this..." Wu Zhaopu naturally said, but Lin Feng has always been a man of speech in the company. Although these senior managers also have a certain weight of discourse, they have never clashed with Lin Feng. Wu Zhaopu doesn't know whether his words will offend Lin Feng. Now the company is developing steadily and prospering. Wu Zhaopu doesn't want to have conflicts with Lin Feng, which leads to drastic changes in the company and affects its development.

Wu Zhaopu finally clenched his teeth and said his doubts.

"Mr. Lin," Plants vs. Zombies "has been a great success. In a short period of time, it has been the first domestic online game, but the profit is too low. The monthly fee of 10 yuan per person per month is too low compared with the server and staff we pay, as well as a series of other expenses. " Wu Zhaopu said what he had in mind.

"But that's not the point. The point is that its impact on legend is much more than we expected. During this period, the online rate of legend has been less than half of the past, with an average online population of less than 200000, and it continues to decline. " Wu Zhaopu's face became serious. The impact of "Plants vs. Zombies" on other types of online games was too big, which exceeded everyone's expectation.

Lin Feng had a headache after reading the data report of legend. He didn't expect that the influence of Plants vs. Zombies would be so great. In particular, the launch of the nine levels system directly divides players into different levels, allowing players to compete with each other and keep up with each other, which directly leads to the loss of a large number of "legend" players and turns to enter the game world of "plants vs zombies".

At first, the "legend" players just for leisure and entertainment, and by the way to earn a free "legend" point card and go to the game, but a play, but completely addicted, deeply can not extricate themselves. All equipment, guilds and enemies are forgotten. All players have only one goal in their eyes: to open the next level through the damned 100 rounds.

After the next level is opened, the new game mode, the new map, the same is still the 100 rounds of teeth itching. And hold on to 100 rounds, you can enter the next level.

But in the early stage of "plants vs zombies", the level was very simple, relaxed and leisurely, but it became more and more difficult in the later stage. It was not so easy to pass 100 rounds. After the failure of the challenge again and again, the resentment in the player's heart is even worse, and he hopes to break through 100 rounds and enter the next level.

But after breaking through 100 rounds, it will be a new level and a new 100 round challenge, which will never stop and continue to cycle. Unless you can break through the nine hurdles.

The most important reason for players to hate and love is that 100 rounds is just right. That is to let players see the hope of passing, but this hope is not so easy to achieve. If you want to give up, you can see that your friends are insisting on it, or you have entered the next level. Who is willing to give up, and how can you give up.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

This is also the reason why "plants vs zombies" is so popular that it directly harms all other types of online games. Before the popularity of this wave of "plants vs zombies" Tower Defense online games is over, I'm afraid all other types of online games will be harmed.

Lin Feng looked at the online games of other companies. Except for the popular tower defense leisure games of the same type, they were all seriously affected, and some almost stopped taking them. Let a group of online game companies to this tower game is really love and hate, mixed feelings.

"What do you suggest?" Asked Lin Feng.

"I suggest that like other online game companies," Plants vs. Zombies "be operated as a stand-alone operation in secret, so as to reduce server load and cost. When the player passes or fails, the game will contact the host to upload the record. " Wu Zhaopu's suggestion is also an emergency plan that many online game companies have come up with to deal with the hot "plants vs zombies" fever.

This emergency plan can greatly reduce the load of the game on the server, and can greatly reduce the cost of the operating company. It can even be said that a private lease of a network bandwidth, and then buy a few servers can operate. But there is also a fatal weakness in this scheme.

"No! In this way, the game will be chaotic. " Lin Feng refused without hesitation.

"Why?" That's what Wu Zhaopu is afraid of. Because Lin Feng has been in the company launched a variety of measures have been a great success, but also for the company to bring huge profits. Wu Zhaopu is afraid that this will make Lin Feng feel absolutely confident and proud. He can't listen to people's words, which is absolutely detrimental to the development of the company.

"Although our company relies on the profits of legend and has a large amount of funds as its backing, even now it is greatly affected by" Plants vs. Zombies "and its popularity continues to be low, the monthly profits of legend are also in the hundreds of millions of yuan. But it can lighten the burden of the company. Isn't that good? Almost all online game companies do this. Why should our company be unique and do the opposite? " Wu Zhaopu also let go today. He didn't want Lin Feng to fall into a state of arrogance.

The company has a bright future. Lin Feng is more likely to become the youngest rich person in the world in the future. He doesn't want Lin Feng to fall here.

To tell you the truth, if Lin Feng is not a reborn man, he will definitely recognize Wu Zhaopu's proposal. Now it seems that this proposal is the most reasonable and correct choice. Unfortunately, Lin Feng is a reborn person. He was once a crazy online game enthusiast, and he really understood the players' mentality.

Online game players are loyal, but they are also the easiest to rebel. Their loyalty and enthusiasm to an online game may last for several years, or even a lifetime. But it may also be in an instant, a small incident on the mutiny, and then completely against the game, or even against the game operators.

What makes online game players intolerable most is the fraud of online game operators. In particular, secretly modifying online game parameters and data behind the player's back is the most unacceptable thing for the player, and it is also the easiest to break the player's heart.

The proposal put forward by Wu Zhaopu is also the most "rational" choice of many online game companies at present, but it deceives all players, and will involve a very serious problem, which is enough to make the whole game system collapse.

Lin Feng knocks his fingers on the table and looks at Wu Zhaopu, who is a loyal minister. Although Lin Feng wants to laugh in his heart, it hurts Wu Zhaopu's loyalty and self-esteem. He tries to suppress his smile and looks serious.

"Do you think" Plants vs. Zombies "is an online game or a stand-alone game?" Lin Feng did not answer the rhetorical question. Sometimes some questions can't be explained clearly. It's better to change the skills and ask questions to let the other party find the answers from their own answers.

"Of course, online games, if it's a single game, who will spend 10 yuan per month..." Wu Zhaopu immediately replied, but he was stunned and suddenly realized.

"But originally this game can be separated from the host operation, we do not have such a modification improper." Although Wu Zhaopu is still explaining, he also feels that his heart and hair are empty.

"What would players think if they found a game that could have been run on a single computer, but forced them to spend money to play it? In particular, the operator secretly changes it into a quasi stand-alone game behind the player's back, so that it can run off the network, and only needs to log in to the host to upload the record. What will the player think? " Lin Feng continued to ask.

"This... This..." Wu Zhaopu forehead cold sweat straight, if it is true, I'm afraid that the players will be so "riot" may also. Although it will not really make trouble with online game companies, at least in the hearts of players, the image and status of online game operators will plummet.

"But even if we don't do it, all the online game companies in the industry have done it, we will inevitably be involved, and the players won't believe us." The more Wu Zhaopu thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. Now many online game companies are like this, but the players have not found out. Once the players finally find out, under the riot, "second world" must be the target, and it must be the company most questioned and slandered by the players.

"So we have to prepare for a rainy day!" Lin Feng clenched his fist tightly.

These damned online game companies, this time they want to completely muddle the market—— Lin Feng cursed secretly.
