NOVEL NEXT Chapter 59
Chapter 59 The most stressful time
November 5, 2000, a week after “Legend” went live, and half a month after Fengxin was updated.
During this period of time, the registration fever caused by Fengxin circle and the craze for the new version of “God’s Biography” have been digested almost. Fengxin’s score on November 5 was 31.89 million registrations and the highest number of online users of 1.28 million. With the help of Fengxing’s mature account interoperability with “The Legend of God”, more than 5 million “God’s” accounts have been created through the Fengxin account.
On the other side of “Legend” after a week of bewilderment, the number of registrations has just exceeded 3 million. However, Ogilvy Electronics will obviously not give up so easily, even in the case of a bad start, they did not get discouraged but increased investment in promotion.
Back then, when Ogilvy Electronics failed to act for “Peacock King”, all problems were passed on to the Korean game developers. Later, when Blizzard did not give Ogilvy the “World of Warcraft” agency rights, they worked hard to represent “Kaitian”. In order to fight against “World of Warcraft”, their losses in “Kaitian” may be regarded as the last straw in finance.
After all, it is said that they lost 10 million in “Peacock King”.
Therefore, the leadership team of Ogilvy Electronics has been regarded by the public as being very arrogant.
Meng Qian has never been in contact with them, and he doesn’t know the facts, but he hopes that Ogilvy Electronics is really arrogant so that they can always compete with “The Legend”.
After November 5th, the registration volume of “Legend” began to change. For players, it is not realistic to play only one game in a lifetime. Meng Qian suppressed the momentum of “Legend” through the version update.
The penguins on the other side are relatively quiet. There is only one rumor that they want to focus more on personal development on the commercial side.
I don’t know whether it’s true or false, but this thing doesn’t sound like it can help Penguins to increase their competition.
In this way, in the winter of 2000, Dafeng Technology was no longer a nameless person who was immersed in development. Dafeng Technology began to be known by more people and “harvested” two powerful competitors.
On November 10, 2000, Meng Qian was a little unaccustomed to not having all kinds of double eleven advertisements.
On this day, there was an internal adjustment in Dafeng Technology. The technical department was divided into two groups and two supervisors were established, namely Song Zhenluo and Shi Xueyi.
Shi Xueyi was a programmer later recruited by the company. He was considered an old programmer in this era, and he has another year of management experience.
But when he was recruiting, he was recruited as a programmer, and he had no complaints when he was not a leader.
It’s just that he can see his enthusiasm and desire to do management from his later work. This kind of mentality is also very common in the workplace. Seeing that startups are not managed, I want to fight for it.
His appearance is a kind of pressure on Song Zhenluo that is on the bright side but can’t be said to be broken.
The advantages and disadvantages of Song Zhenluo and Shi Xueyi are obvious and even complementary. Meng Qian unexpectedly discovered that the competition between the two people actually had a chemical reaction. Meng Qian simply let them compete like this, and also let them go slowly. Develop your own people.
With the end of the “Legend” incident this time, the hard work, growth and management capabilities of the two people have been seen by others. At this time, Meng Qian has no reason to continue to press them.
After grouping, the company will implement a project system. Shi Xueyi’s team is now in charge of China Mobile’s project, and Song Zhenluo’s first task for Meng Qian now is the one they came up with, adding it to the game. The matter of competitive gameplay.
And this time, Meng Qian didn’t have any hints. He didn’t mention the DOTA model similar to that of later generations. Anyway, DOTA didn’t come out until 2006. Meng Qian simply let them play and hone their competitive game design thinking.
Maybe, it may not be possible to make a game setting that is more popular than DOTA.
In addition, grouping is also to allow them to continue to maintain this kind of very chemical competition, and the manager’s position is still vacant.
The technology department has finally settled down, but the art department has caused Meng Qian a headache. I don’t know if these art people are really born with a buddhist affiliation. The entire art department now has the potential to lead. There is still only Fu Qinyi.
Her enthusiasm, coordination ability, courage to undertake silently, and dedication to others all shine in the art department. Now if you promote Fu Qinyi, you must have no opinion, but for Meng Qian, he always feels that Fu Qin Yi was short of breath, and Meng Qian couldn’t say what the lack of breath was, but it made people very regretful and uncomfortable.
Thinking about it again and again, the art department continued to shelve it.
On November 15, 2000, Meng Qian took time in his office to prepare for the transfer exam at the end of the year. At that time, Meng Qian, the secretary of the School of Information, realized his own problems.
When you are still a student, you can do anything else, but the premise is that you have to do your job well If you really don’t want this student status, you can take the initiative to propose Dropping out of school, but still occupying a position and not doing the basic things well, what’s the matter?
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Meng Qian suddenly received a call from Zhang Shuxin.
“boss Zhang?”
“What are you doing?”
“Preparing for the school exam.”
“You still need an exam, the school doesn’t directly award you an honorary doctorate?” Zhang Shuxin teased.
“A character like me is a **** in Jiangda.” Meng Qian laughed at himself, “Why did Mr. Zhang think of calling me today.”
“I’m here to give you an explanation. Didn’t you ask me to contact Academician Ni for you before?”
Meng Qian’s spirit was shocked, “Are you contacting Academician Ni Guangnan?”
“Well, Academician Ni has held meetings in Shanghai these two days. He happened to be going to Zhangjiang the day after tomorrow. I mentioned to him what you want to see him. Academician Ni means that if you have time, he will take an hour to arrive in the afternoon. Yinghaiwei Shanghai Branch will have a chat with you.”
“Well, it’s an hour… that’s okay, I can finally touch it, thank you Mr. Zhang.”
“You don’t need to be polite to me. I will simply help you make an impression on Academician Ni’s side. Although you will meet at Yinghaiwei the day after tomorrow, you can rest assured that Yinghaiwei will not take any time. You can take this hour. ”
“Okay, I know it in my heart.”
On November 17, 2000, Meng Qian arrived at Yinghaiwei Shanghai Branch in the morning and waited. He waited until 3 o’clock in the afternoon when a familiar and unfamiliar middle-aged man walked into Yinghaiwei surrounded by a group of people.
Meng Qian stood a little far away and looked at Ni Guangnan, who was approaching him, with a complicated mood spontaneously. This day, this moment, is the most tense time since Meng Qian was reborn…
