Chapter 808

When it comes to home-made online games, Li Mu can think of the netizens who were high-quality works at the time of the birth of the game. There are only three of them, namely, the western tour of big talk, the western tour of fantasy and the series of swordsman love.

Among them, dahuaxiyou was the first one, which was just launched at the end of 2001; dreamy Xiyou and swordsman love online version were both born in the second half of 2003, among which two "Xiyou" themes are original games of Netease, swordsman love series are from Xishanju studio in Jinshan, and Xishanju is under the leadership of Lei.

These three games have had a sensational effect, and the marketing data is very strong, but only dream westward travel has the strongest vitality. Until Li Mu's rebirth, there are still many people playing this game, which can be called the longest online travel lifeline.

When it comes to dream westward travel, I have to mention Lao Xu. He is a famous figure in the field of domestic online travel in China. He is definitely a group born in a rash way. He joined Netease in the era of boastful westward travel, because he gave a lot of constructive opinions to boastful westward travel. However, when Netease gradually took a firm foothold and Ding Lei didn't look forward to dream westward travel, he put《 Dream journey to the west is popular. Finally, let Netease turn to dream journey to the West. In terms of ability and understanding of the current domestic online game market and online game users, Lao Xu should be the top talent. Otherwise, dream journey to the west is unlikely to catch fire, and it has been so many years.

Three years later, Xu left Netease and made a complete face change with Ding Lei. Although he also made several popular games, no one can be compared with dream westward.

Li Mu doesn't play much online games. He can't even remember Lao Xu's name. However, he has heard about the word "Lao Xu" for a long time, and he also has a little understanding of what happened in that year. In fact, Lao Xu left because of the uneven distribution of interests in dream journey to the West.

Li Mu has no intention to comment on which is right or wrong, but he always attaches great importance to the enlightenment brought by similar things.

There are two kinds of bosses in the mall. One is to give a million or more profits back to the other party immediately when a meritorious employee makes a hundred million yuan for him, and then further consolidate the relationship between the other party and himself.

the other is to pay the salary according to the original contract when a meritorious employee makes a hundred million yuan for him At the end of the year, I gave him a 10000 yuan year-end bonus, and I felt extremely generous. I hope that the staff can thank him.

Li Mu saw the latter kind of people, so when he started his business, he was determined to become the former.

If you think about Lao Xu's decision to leave Netease at the beginning, it must have been made because of the similar situation. In Li Mu's own opinion, Ding Lei lost a very excellent talent because of the problem of money in that time, especially considering that the core business of Netease is game. If you pay attention to Netease's financial report, the proportion of game revenue at the highest time is more than 90%, so you can think about it See, how much loss does Ding Lei have in losing Lao Xu.

Li Mu attaches great importance to the game business, but he didn't have the energy to build his own game development team before. His previous ideas are more likely to be agents. For example, now he acts as the agent of "miracle Mu". After accumulating strength, he will take "world of Warcraft" in 2004. In the future, South Korea's hot games will be eaten one by one, which will be basically the time It can support a market with an annual income of several billion dollars.

However, after seeing Lao Xu's resume, Li Mu suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Why not develop your own games?

In the future, Blizzard Entertainment can act as a special agent for all major games, but as a whole, Blizzard Entertainment operation games are far less suitable than YY. After all, YY is a huge ecosystem. In addition, the commonality of users alone is beyond our reach. A YY number can quickly log in to all YY products. Who can compare the convenience?

If game R & D department is set up in Muye technology and people are dug to play games, the future development space will be very broad. After all, the extra support effect produced by the whole ecosystem of YY is too powerful.

More importantly, their own development of the game, its profit margin is much larger than the agent game!

What's more, if you put dream westward in YY's ecosystem, you will definitely make more money than Netease.

And the key character of dream journey to the west is Lao Xu. Just dig him up and build a team for him, isn't it OK? The R & D cost of a game is not much money for Muye technology. It's nothing at all. In this case, why not?

Thinking of this, Li Mu hurriedly looked at the notes about Lao Xu on the intranet again. According to the notes, Lao Xu had already had an interview, and the interview time was just three days ago.

HR's detailed remarks to Xu said: this person is good at online game planning and applies for the game planning position of YY game. He has a good eloquence and some understanding of online game. It is suggested that the game Department retest.

Then, a person in charge of YY game planning department also left a note: this person has short working experience, poor education, and is good at online games rather than chess and card games. At present, we do not have online game planning, so we do not make retest arrangements.When Li Mu saw this remark, he was a little annoyed instinctively. Is the person in charge of the planning department of YY game a straw bag? Old Xu is such a bull. He even refused to take a second interview without looking at his resume?

But when Li Mu calmed down a little, he felt that the head of the planning department was right.

YY game is now a chess and card game hall. There is a big deviation between this kind of game and the orthodox online game. Lao Xu's resume does not meet the needs of YY game. Moreover, Lao Xu's resume is not good-looking, with insufficient experience and education. This is also the biggest embarrassment of his careless origin. Before he succeeds, he always wants to get a chance to prove his strength It's more difficult.

In spite of the fire in his heart, Li Mu ponders over why Lao Xu took the initiative to send his resume to Makino technology. He is a smart man. It should be seen that the whole Makino technology does not show the signal of being an orthodox online game at present. Even if he can succeed in the interview, he still has strong dissatisfaction and the situation is not clear.

However, after careful consideration, Li Mu had a bold conjecture in his mind: Lao Xu should be able to find out YY's current trend of not doing online games.

Smart people are good at looking for opportunities. It's like the beginning of the skit selling crutches. When Gao Xiumin comments on her husband's big blunder, she has a classic line: "I heard that Wang's accountant bought the car cover from the horse, and that Si lengzi bought the motorcycle and sold the helmet. I heard that Zhang Sansao couldn't sleep and that other people sold sleeping pills."

These lines seem to have a very small pattern, but the truth is very clear. This is the way that smart people take the initiative to seize the market advance. Xu is likely to see the huge potential of YY in the operation of online games and the vacancy of YY in online games, so he has the same idea as "big Huyou" and wants to come to look for opportunities, which is in the eyes of others Mo, in his view, has a chance to become an oasis.

Think about it again. It's not long since Lao Xu joined Netease. He certainly has no personal feelings for Netease. Netease won't give him a chance to give him a big fight now. So in this case, if you want to dig him, you can definitely get one.

Immediately, Li Muli wrote a message to Kong Lingyu on YY and said to him, "I'm going to build a game development team. What's the good advice?"

Kong Lingyu was invisible online, and soon sent a message to Li Mu: "boss, I agree with both hands!"

"Say why."

"Nothing else, the game is too profitable, and the cash flow is too good!"

"Nothing else?"

"Our ecosystem is only short of online games now, which is a big cake. I wanted to talk to you before, but I'm afraid you want to put the game business under the shell of storm entertainment, so I didn't say it."

Li Mu laughs at himself and taps his fingertips on the keyboard: "now I don't need to think about storm entertainment. I want to set up a game business department, which is completely different from the" YY game "business department. This game business department only does client-side online games."

Li Mu originally hoped to make fast money with storm entertainment, so that "miracle Mu" would be a big hit for two years, and then he had the capital to talk with Blizzard about the agency of "world of Warcraft", take "world of Warcraft" and make another big profit, and then act as an agent for some popular online games, and the money would be old.

But now, storm entertainment can put it aside for a while, let it use "miracle Mu" to make money first, seize the time to adjust its strategy, start the game business under YY, and also think about going to the United States for listing. The game business can bring excellent revenue data, which will also greatly promote the valuation.

Seeing Li Mu's words, Kong Lingyu quickly replied, "great boss! As long as you say a word, I can immediately join the game business! "

"Li Mu replied:" so, tomorrow night add a class, we touch the game business department together

"No problem!"

After chatting with Kong Lingyu, Li Mu left a message to Lin Qingya, asking her to instruct HR and the cooperative headhunting company in the near future to collect the contact information of the core team members of the major online game R & D companies across the country, make a plan to tackle the difficulties, and try hard to find a group of people at any cost.

Now that they have decided to do it, an old Xu is not enough, and Li Mu wants to gather other talents, especially the Xishanju of Jinshan software. While they are still working as a stand-alone version of swordsman's love, they haven't been able to taste the taste of making a lot of money yet, so they should be wiped out as soon as possible, so as to further seal the profit channel of Jinshan in the future and cut off under the leader Lei Step by step.

If you can bring Xu and the team of talkative westward games to dream westward games, and then bring the team of swordsman love to develop a similar martial arts or Xianxia online games, the domestic game market in the next few years will be really interesting!

As for the "X-way" stream of water products like Shi Yu's helping to rectify, what else is it? If there is a hand in the industry, do you want to make money with such goods? It's just wishful thinking!
