Chapter 224

In addition to the above organizational structure adjustment, Huizhong has also set up separate game R & D studios in Europe, the United States and Japan.

Japan, like the United States, which has set up an office before, has also set up a separate office to cooperate with the copyright department to negotiate copyright acquisition or cooperation with relevant Japanese companies.

The three studios recruit R & D personnel locally and form teams to develop games in combination with the local market, including games with Western themes such as Zhilong fan city for the Japanese market and tribal conflict for the European and American market. The game R & D deployment of Huizhong in all regions of the world has officially begun to blossom everywhere.

After the organizational structure adjustment, Huizhong's parent company has as many as eight first-class departments. Although each department performs its own duties, the structure is clearer, but to make them all report to Fang Zhe, the CEO of Fang zhe has to be busy.

Therefore, Shen Liang, the original person in charge of the mobile game department, was promoted again. Now he is the executive vice president. Li Yifei went to Alipay as the CEO of his subsidiary. Now Huizhong's parent company is at the same level as him, leaving sun Huifang of the page game platform department and Li Yimei, the person in charge of the administration department.

There are only two people above him, one is Zheng Siwen, who holds several titles such as CFO and CEO, and the other is Fang Zhe, the CEO. Several departments independent from the mobile game department still report to him, and he reports directly to Fang Zhe.

From mid July to the end of July, Fang Zhe and Huizhong were busy with the adjustment of the organizational structure and personnel arrangement. In addition, Fang zhe also took the time to talk to Li Zhipeng who met at Lin Xiaobin's house before. As Fang zhe expected, Li Zhipeng agreed to Fang Zhe's invitation after high salary and Fang zhe talked to him about his ambition to establish a patent company, He served as the technical director of the patent company specially established by Fang Zhe.

As for the CEO of this company, he is a professional manager specially hired by Fang Zhe. This patent company is called Huichuang software company. It sounds like an ordinary Internet company. In fact, the company does not develop any products. Its main thing is to collect and develop patents that may be used on all kinds of smart phones.

At the beginning, Fang zhe must have been throwing money into it. When the accumulated number of patents is almost the same, we can talk about making money by means of patent authorization. This company is a company invested and established by Fang zhe out of his personal interests and hobbies, and has little to do with Huizhong's main business. Therefore, the company's investment at this stage depends on zhongwin capital, Although this is not in line with the style of a venture capital company, if Fang zhe pays most of the money for the venture capital, it's another story.

Most of the patents developed by Huichuang at this stage are all kinds of patents that Fang zhe temporarily thought will be widely used in the smart phone industry in the next two or three years, including messy design contents such as mobile phone message bar notification and mobile phone shell design, which are part of the scope of patents and are not limited to specific technical patents.

In Fang Zhe's opinion, Huichuang's future development really looks like those foreign patent rogue companies. Although its reputation is not very good, Fang zhe doesn't care. It's a fool not to make money. Who makes me a reborn person have these advantages!

At the end of July, Fang zhe flew abroad to the United States. This is his second visit to the United States after being invited by Apple last Christmas. Compared with the last time, Fang Zhe's English is much more fluent, and his identity and status are much better than the last time.

The purpose of his visit to the United States this time is to negotiate cooperation projects with another famous game company in Seattle, valve, commonly known as V club and Chinese name Wilford.

Probably speaking of valve or V club, there are still many Chinese strangers, but speaking of the other two names, I'm afraid most domestic console game players should have heard of steam and g fat!

Yes, valve is the developer and operator behind the steam platform, a game platform popular all over the world. G fat, whose full name is Gaby Newell, is also the founder of valve!

The name of the game company valve is far less famous than its games, such as half life, anti terrorist elite, the road to survival and dota2. These world-famous games are the works of the company.

Its position in the game industry is basically similar to that of blizzard in Bozhong. Especially after the release of dota2, the annual dota2 international invitational tournament, commonly known as Ti, has attracted the attention of many people all over the world, and the annual prize pool is as high as tens of millions of dollars.

Now, valve has started the research and development of dota2, but in terms of speed, it can be called an old cow. It was not released until the middle of 2013, which lasted four years!

In his previous life, dota2 was represented by the perfect world in China. In this life, Fang zhe plans to cut off a Hu and get the agency right of dota2 in China in advance!

In fact, compared with dota2, there is another game that Fang zhe desperately wants to get, that is, hero alliance. Unfortunately, as early as last year, Tencent bought the agency right of hero alliance in China from fist, and Tencent also invested in fist. Although Fang zhe later asked his people to contact fist shareholders and senior management, Willing to offer a higher price to get the fist shares or the agency right of hero League in China, but they were rejected!

Ma Dan, in the previous life, Tencent only spent more than two hundred million dollars to buy the fist. Compared with the money Tencent made by "League of heroes", it's hardly worth mentioning. Now I spend tens of millions of dollars to buy some shares of you, but you don't want to!

Fang zhe really doesn't understand why the fist shareholders and senior management will refuse Fang Zhe and Huizhong's shares. Tencent doesn't transfer the agency right of hero alliance in China. He also understands that the fist senior management is unwilling to sell shares, which makes him feel a little confused!

Fortunately, Fang zhe can only let his subordinates think about it. If he has a chance, he can't wait to die. If you Tencent took the League of heroes, I'll take dota2. Yes, dota2 is released two years later than the League of heroes. However, don't forget that there is a steam in club V!

A game I can't compete with you, a platform game, you should always weigh it!

In the past, steam did not become popular in mainland China until 15 years ago. It was 18 years ago that the perfect world had worked with Chinese mainland V society to run steam China. There were many complicated reasons for it. But Fang Zhe, who was born again, understood this research.

First, there are two main reasons why steam didn't catch fire in China until 15 years ago:

1、 Domestic policies and the existence of the wall;

2、 V society does not pay enough attention to steam China, and the progress is slow in all aspects, such as localization translation, cross-border payment and community construction;

In 18 years, when steam China has accumulated more than 40 million Chinese users, the reason why V club wants to hand over steam China to the perfect world for operation is also similar to the above two points. From policy to localized operation services, the perfect world has too many advantages over v club's overseas remote control operation of steam China!

Therefore, another important reason why Fang zhe went to Seattle to talk about cooperation with V club is that he hopes to persuade g pang to cooperate with Huizhong to operate steam China!
