Recreation Starts From the Heartbeat

Team building is much better than I imagined.

Tang Su originally hated team building, because in his previous life, the days when the company was forced to build a team was really unhappy.

But now, Tang Su has another idea.

For things like group building, the key is to see if the person in charge has a conscience. If the person in charge has no conscience, the process and results of the group building will be very bad, but if the person in charge is still an individual, then the group building is... pretty happy.

At least judging from how we got along yesterday, everyone is also very satisfied with this.

Employees like to be lazy during work hours, like **** with pay... Tang Su set the team building during work hours, so that everyone can be reasonably and legally lazy, and the content of the team building is also very normal, nothing more than mountain climbing and dinner parties. , singing and the like, it is not a workplace entertainment, it is very easy.

The next day, Tuesday.

formally start work.

Tang Su handed all the employees responsible for project development to the conference room and began to assign tasks.

"The company and the studio are separated, and the follow-up updates of games such as "Plants vs. Zombies", "Dig for Ascension", "Cat Leo", "iwanna", "Cat Leo and iwanna" are all handed over to the studio. to do it, and we start new projects.”

Tang Su said: "I'm going to start making two games at the same time, and everyone here will be divided into two development teams. Of course, I also know that the current number of developers is small, and they will definitely be overwhelmed, so I will wait until the premiere of "Plant Zombies". After the monthly results come out, I will use this as a publicity to recruit some excellent developers..."

He briefly explained the next work arrangement, then turned on the projector and showed everyone the design ideas of the two new games.

They are "Defend the Radish" and "Angry Birds".

"The style of "Defend Radish" is similar to that of "Plant Zombies". They are both tower defense games, but there are some differences in the specific gameplay. Everyone has participated in the development of "Plant Zombies" and should have more experience in this. "

Tang Su said: "And "Angry Birds" is a brand-new gameplay, and it is also a completely different design idea from the former... These two games are the core of our future period of time, everyone can freely choose according to their own ideas, of course , and each group cannot be less than ten people.”

There were only thirty developers in the conference room.

So far, there are only 39 people in the company. Except for Tang Su and Zhang Yuning, there are 37 people, including 30 developers. The other seven people are responsible for other businesses together with Zhang Yuning...

It can be said to be quite shabby.

Of course, these are only temporary.

Tang Su needs to wait for the results of the first month of "Plants vs. Zombies" to come out, and then use this report card to publicize it so that everyone in the industry knows that 'Sky Games' is a very powerful game company, and the prospects are very bright. In this way As a result, there is an opportunity to dig some more powerful people and quickly fill the company's vacancies.

"You can discuss it yourself."

Tang Su said something, then got up and walked out of the conference room.

When we got to the door, we could hear whispers about which group to choose.

Some people tend to "Defend Radish", because the development logic of this game is more inclined to "Plant Zombies", and they have a lot of experience that can be used in the development of new games, and the working state will be easier and more stable.

But there are also people who prefer "Angry Birds", the reason is: making two games with similar gameplay in succession will inevitably lead to fatigue and loss of enthusiasm, while "Angry Birds" is more challenging and more mobilizing. positivity.

Different ideas, different attitudes.

Tang Su ignored them. After walking out of the conference room, he met Zhang Yuning who was walking towards this side, and a few...people from a certain studio upstairs.

"You are this?"

Tang Su was puzzled.

People from Mi Tang Studio, what are you doing here?

"Come and discuss about making a joint keyboard for "Plant Zombies"."

Zhang Yuning's understated explanation.

"That's it."

Tang Su was stunned, and then asked, "Can I listen in?"

"Of course."

…

So, Tang Su left the people who were actively discussing in the conference room, and went to the office of the 'deputy general manager' with Zhang Yuning and Mi Tang staff.

Well…

Zhang Yuning, Deputy General Manager Zhang's office.

"So, are you planning to launch the joint version first, and then sell the regular version?"

Tang Su frowned slightly: "Is this appropriate?"

According to the other party's intention, this mass-produced keyboard named 'Honor A87' will first launch a version co-branded with "Plants vs. Zombies", but there is not much stock. After this batch of goods is sold, the standard version will be released, which is A version ready for global distribution.

Tang Su was a little puzzled by this.

Under normal circumstances, new products are launched in the regular version first, wait until the regular version is almost sold, and then launch the joint version, continue to harvest leeks...

Is it appropriate for Su Tang to do the opposite?

"This is a decision we made after careful consideration."

The other party is a young lady, and said with a smile at the moment: "We will announce the standard version and the joint version at the same time when the new product is launched, as well as the price of both, but at the beginning, only the joint version will be launched, and the standard version will be launched. Launched a month after the joint version was launched…

In fact, it is also well understood that we need to use the co-branded version to open up the market, and at the same time, to distribute the standard version globally, and to use the co-branded version to open up popularity, it also reflects the cost-effectiveness of the standard version..."

Su Tang is a very ambitious girl.

Either don't do it, and since you have done it, do your best.

Before the first product of 'Honor Peripherals' was launched, she was already ready to distribute it all over the world.

Use the co-branded version to open up popularity, let many potential consumers know about such a product, and then launch the standard version. Against the background of the co-branded version, the standard version is very cost-effective, and its appearance is not inferior to that of the co-branded version. The result might be better.

"When will the joint version plan be launched?"

Tang Su asked, and said at the same time: "After all, it is a co-branded version with the game. Maybe I can cooperate with it to promote it. The groups of gamers and peripheral players are relatively overlapping, and it should also have good results. At the same time, we can also hold some activities, such as forwarding lottery and the like, and let more people know about this new product.”

"The launch time has not yet been determined. It is optimistic that it should be launched in mid-November."

the other said.

Mid-November...feeling okay.

Tang Su nodded lightly, then didn't ask any more questions, and sat beside her to watch some details of the cooperation she negotiated with Zhang Yuning.

Such as joint copyright fees and so on...

There was no arguing or arguing. The two sides only set a nominal royalty fee of 200,000 yuan, and then printed the contract, checked the contract, signed the contract, and it was over.

Two hundred thousand…

Not too much, not too little.

It’s not too much, because it needs to be compared with the current word-of-mouth, revenue, and average number of online players of “Plants vs. Zombies”.

It's not too small, because this is just a copyright for peripheral peripherals such as keyboards, keycaps, keyboard pads, pillows, etc. This stuff is not easy to sell. It can be sold for 200,000 yuan, which is actually very good. .

"Actually, if we want to, we can still sell 500,000 or 1 million."

Zhang Yuning said coldly: "You underestimate the co-branding value of a successful mobile game."

In any case, "Plants vs. Zombies" has now become a very successful popular mobile game, and in casual games, this kind of popularity is even more popular.

The joint copyright of this popular mobile game is very valuable. Even if it is only in cooperation with peripheral manufacturers, it can easily sell for 1.8 million.

But now, only 200,000 has been sold to Mi Tang Studio.

"I know it's really a little bit, but don't forget how much people have helped us, right?"

Tang Su glanced at him and said casually: "Don't forget, the office building we are stepping on is someone else's, interior decoration, office desks and chairs... Which of these was not prepared for us?

Moreover, we will also buy keyboards in a group, and they will give us discounts... Although we do business to make money, we should not take money too seriously. Mutual benefit is the right way. Your situation is too small. "

What's with this old-fashioned attitude?

"I know."

Zhang Yuning was a little speechless: "Otherwise, I would not agree to sell it for 200,000 yuan. I just remind you to let you know the true value of the game copyright, lest you really think it's only worth 200,000 yuan."

"you're right."

Tang Su nodded, and then said: "In the conference room, everyone should have discussed the results. I'll go over and see. By the way, you are ready to recruit. Now there are serious shortages of employees in all departments of the company, and even, We have established a company now, but we don't even have a front desk lady, you remember to find a beautiful one, after all, it represents the company's appearance."

"…"

Zhang Yuning was speechless: "I'm afraid you only have the beautiful front desk lady in your mind."

"Freeze said."

Tang Su glared at him: "In case Tangtang hears me, I have to find a way to explain it."

"Haha, I'm so scared when we're only together. If we get married in the future, it is estimated that there will be one more patient with strict wife control in the world."

Zhang Yuning said sarcastically.

"This is love, you don't understand."

Tang Su shook his head: "Do you know what it's like to have someone you like? Do you know what it's like to be with someone you like? Do you know what it's like to act like a spoiled brat in front of you? Do you know what it's like to be jealous of someone you like? What does it feel like? Do you know what it feels like to be cared about by a girl? Do you know what it feels like to eat, shop, watch a movie with a girl hand in hand? You don’t know anything, you are just an ordinary single dog.”

"…"

The smile on Zhang Yuning's face froze, and he stared at him blankly without saying a word.

"Oh, right."

Tang Su suddenly thought of something again, and was curious about gossip: "You should have been in touch with Yu Wenwen long ago? How's the relationship going?"

Yu Wenwen…

A super popular young singer from a girl group.

Zhang Yuning was quite interested in her. Before, he wanted to ask Tang Su for help with contact information, and it seemed that he wanted to develop it.

But I haven't heard any news for so long. I guess it should be cold, right?

Tang Su didn't mean anything else when he asked about this. It was very simple, he just wanted to embarrass him. As a handsome man with a strong desire for revenge, Tang Su would not let him go so easily.

"What's the development, you think too much."

Zhang Yuning's face was not very good-looking, he waved his hand, and said lightly: "I asked for her contact information before, but I just wanted to inquire about something in the entertainment industry, and by the way, I asked my sister's preferences, and I plan to give my sister a gift on her birthday. That's it, nothing else."

"Is that right?"

Tang Su pretended to be surprised, but in fact he said gloatingly: "I thought you liked her and wanted to chase her. Seeing that you haven't been doing anything for a while, I thought people didn't like you, but now it seems that it's me. Think too much."

"…"

Zhang Yuning didn't say a word, and while his face was calm, he was so angry that he wanted to kill.

He seemed to understand.

This guy is just here to watch a good show and make fun of himself.

It's amazing to have a girlfriend?

Is your girlfriend rich?

Girlfriend looks amazing, isn't it?

Girlfriend is cute, kind, and considerate, isn't it amazing?

girlfriend…

Really amazing.

Zhang Yuning was strong on the surface, but his tears were flowing in his stomach.

…

Tang Su did not continue to stimulate Zhang Yuning.

Looking at the other party's eyes that seemed to kill his father's enemy, Tang Su was a little worried, and continued to scoff, whether this guy would give himself two punches...

Although the opponent may not be able to beat him now.

But the two are partners after all, and they will work together in the future, so there is no need to push too hard.

then-

Tang Su said goodbye to him and went to the conference room.

At this moment, everyone has discussed the results.

There are a total of 30 developers, of which 17 chose "Defend the Radish", and the other 13 chose "Angry Birds".

"very good."

Tang Su nodded: "Let's go back and adjust the workstations first, so as to facilitate communication and avoid confusion. Then, I will set up two project team progress groups, and I will explain the work tasks to everyone in the group later... Let's end the meeting."

Everyone left the conference room and started to pack up and adjust their workstations.

Tang Su was not idle either.

He took out his mobile phone to create new groups, namely the 'Defend the Radish Development Group' and the 'Angry Birds Development Group', and then started to post work tasks to everyone.

The task is quite simple, nothing more than some preparatory work in the early stage of development.

There are only a dozen people in each group now, which is not enough. Tang Su doesn't want to do it slowly, and wants to speed up the efficiency, so he plans to wait until all the newly recruited employees have arrived before starting.

Now, let's get everything ready.

…

November 20.

It has been twenty days since Plants vs. Zombies went live.

Just click on the new game list and hot game list of a cooperative platform, and you can see this game. Even on some second- and third-tier small platforms, since its release, it has not been listed on the homepage recommendation. pass…

The results were great.

"How are the numbers now? Are there any signs of a decline?"

Tang Su asked.

"No, instead of declining, it's even getting better."

Zhang Yuning shook his head: "At the beginning of the promotion, the main propaganda targets were fans of you, Su Tang and others. Although they made great fanfare at the time, they did not achieve particularly good traffic conversion. After all, no matter how intense the online discussion is No money, but the game itself needs to be recharged, even if it is a star effect, it is impossible to force everyone to recharge...

But now it is different. After more than half a month, the word of mouth of this game has resounded in most of the mobile game circles. These new players, who are increasing every day, are the main consumption force of the mobile game platform. This also leads to, "Plants" The average download of Zombies has been declining, but the number of paying players and daily revenue has increased. "

Tang Su generally understood.

The number of downloads has declined, because the interested people who eat melon have basically downloaded it, and there is no point in continuing to promote it. We can only rely on word of mouth to slowly increase new customers.

The increase in the number of paying players and the increase in daily revenue shows that most players recognize this game and are willing to spend money to support it.

"Very good."

Tang Su smiled: "Although most of the income will be cut off by the platform business, and the business tax will be deducted, but even so, there is a lot of money that can be distributed to us. After a month, we have to have it anyway. Tens of millions, right? Looking at the entire mobile game platform, there are very few games that can earn eight figures every month, especially in the field of casual mobile games, there should be no one that can compete with us for the time being.”

"At least it has to be tens of millions smaller."

Zhang Yuning said softly: "Only relying on such a game, we may be able to achieve a net profit of 100 million this year. Looking at the entire game industry, the number of game companies with a net profit of over 100 million a year is about 100. Next year , as long as the results of "Defending the Carrot" and "Angry Birds" can be half of that of "Plants vs. Zombies", it will be enough for us to rush into the top 100 in the world."

Top 100 game companies in the world.

It doesn't sound like much, but this is something that 99% of game companies can never do in a lifetime.

As an emerging game company, it is already very impressive to have such achievements.

"Next year, we can't have just these two games."

Tang Su said lightly: "The three games "Plants vs. Zombies", "Defend the Carrot", and "Angry Birds" can only be regarded as appetizers. If we are not skilled enough, otherwise, we can just skip these small games and make those really top masterpieces, whether it is the status in the industry or making money, these small games can’t be compared with those top masterpieces no matter how much we do.”

"Cough, come step by step."

Zhang Yuning didn't know what to say.

Top masterpiece?

That thing is really powerful. A successful top-notch masterpiece can directly make a game company win the world's first line. In terms of revenue, a hundred "Plants vs. Zombies" can't compare...

But that stuff isn't something you can make if you want to do it.

Not to mention their small company with less than 40 employees, even those large companies with hundreds or thousands of employees may not be able to independently create a top masterpiece, and that thing is just development The cost will start at a billion...

Their small company can now make games like "Plants vs. Zombies", "Defend Radish", and "Angry Birds".

Want to do top-notch masterpieces?

If you make more than a dozen successful mobile games first, you may be able to touch the tip of the iceberg of top masterpieces.
