The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 92 91. Playing games is like falling in love

  The server was down, which really gave Hua Yi a headache.

  Huang Hongbo flew directly from Wanwan to the mainland that night, and the supervision must solve the server problem.

  In order to alleviate the server pressure, "Stone Age" hastened to set up a few more sets of servers. At the same time, Huayi Company also increased the reserve of physical equipment.

  In three days, due to server downtime, the company's financial department estimated that it would cost hundreds of thousands of losses.

  But from this incident, we can see how popular "Stone Age" is.

  After all, at present, this is the only MMORPG to enter the Chinese market, and there is still a blank in the development of this piece in China.

The earliest online game in China, called "Beijing Da Xia Ke Xing", was born on a server in the Physics Building of Peking University in 1997. It is a text mud game. The so-called text mud does not have any graphical interface and only uses text descriptions. Create a sense of play. (Similar to "I'm from Jianghu" launched on steam in 20 years)

  This game has always been free to operate, mainly for some players to play on it, the circle is very small, basically few people have heard of it.

  The legendary power generation with love lasted until 21 years.

  In order to let the colleagues who developed "Three Kingdoms Online" deeply understand the charm of the online game era, Cao Yang also organized colleagues from the Three Kingdoms online project team to play "Stone Age" together.

  I have been playing for about a week, and everyone nodded.

  There is no way, Cao Yang can only reluctantly give orders, not to play games during working hours.

  And all those who play games have drawn a research report to him.

  The Stone Age became popular, but Liu Guangran, the director of the program department, didn't quite understand it.

  Yes, Liu Guangran has been promoted to the director of the program department.

  Although there is no increase in salary or anything, there is a title, which sounds completely different.

The main reason is that Liu Guangran, as the company’s second-in-command and the person in charge of the game lobby project, is now going to let him be the main program for Guofeng Studio’s "Three Kingdoms Online". From the organizational structure, it seems to be more Li Lanyun was inferior.

The   project can only have one brain. Cao Yang must have chosen Li Lanyun, who was a planning background. In order not to have an obvious sense of hierarchy, Cao Yang gave Liu Guangran the title of [Director of Program Department].

Although    is a false title, you can keep the people below from gossiping.

  As for Liu Guangran, he himself does not have much desire for power. He is just a technical idiot, and he does not need to care about things. He only needs to do his own technical development, and he is also very happy to cooperate.

   Cao Yang still appreciates this.

  Ability, not greedy for power, Liu Guangran's path is wider.

  In two years, if the company is bigger, Liu Guangran can change to cto. (Cto, chief technology officer)

At the    meeting, Liu Guangran asked inexplicably, "Boss, why does the emergence of online games affect our single-player game sales? We sell different products. Can players not play Stone Age while playing our company’s Zhao Yun Chuan?

  Furthermore, I think the chess and cards we made, no, after the game hall went online, it did not have much impact on the sales of single-player games on the market. "

   Cao Yang sighed and glared at him.

  Li Lanyun, who was sitting next to Liu Guangran, pursed his lips and laughed.

This question, to be honest, a month ago his thoughts were similar to Liu Guangran, and he was very dissatisfied with Zhao Yunchuan’s early release, but this month, with the explosion of the Stone Age and his own experience, Li Lanyun had many more thoughts in his heart, and he also reflected on his previous behavior.

  He now vaguely feels that Cao Yang is right. The forward-looking and keen sense of business shown by this young man is simply terrifying.

   Seeing Zhuang Yurou pouring water next to him, Cao Yang raised his chin.

  "My assistant general manager can answer you this question."

"what?"

  The little secretary and Liu Guangran looked back in surprise at the same time.

  "Boss, I don't understand this..." Zhuang Yurou said.

   "Why don't you want to make more than two boyfriends at the same time? Do you not like it?" Cao Yang asked.

  "……"

  The fierce light in Zhuang Yurou's eyes flashed away.

  Whose stall is so embarrassing that the boss is half to death?

  If it weren't for the high salary that Cao Yang had given, she felt that she should leave this guy earlier, she was venomous and arrogant.

Zhuang Yurou sighed and sneered, "Boss, you don't know, where do I come from to make a boyfriend? I get up at 7 am every morning, go to work at 8 am by car, and have to accompany you in a meeting until 10 am Many people can go home by car.

  Have you given me time to make a boyfriend?

  Don't talk about two, I have a boyfriend, and I have to laugh out of it. "

  The corner of Cao Yang's mouth rose slightly, and he was very satisfied with Zhuang Yurou's answer.

  He turned around and looked at Liu Guangran, "So do you understand?"

  Liu Guangran nodded solemnly, “I see, Mr. Cao’s example is vivid and interesting, powerful, and I admire it.”

  What the hell?

  The little secretary looked dazed, how could he understand?

  What do you understand?

"Therefore, there are two aspects to the impact of online games on the stand-alone market. The first is the [time] mentioned by Yu Rou. Before the emergence of the Stone Age, the domestic game market was actually very scarce. For Daewoo’s Xuanyuanjian, it will take one to two years to develop, because the development cycle is long, and there are actually only a dozen games that players can play each year.

  So players have time and money to consume these games. "

  Cao Yang said, “However, the Stone Age is different. It has no end and can occupy players’ time without limit. You can immerse yourself in it for the rest of your life as long as you want.

  This is the first one——

   Grabbing player time. "

  Grabbing player time will become a very important proposition for future games.

  Even in 21 years, the major game manufacturers are fighting to the death, just to seize the players' time.

  Hearing this, the little secretary was stunned.

  Neither Liu Guangran nor Li Lanyun spoke, but just bowed their heads and thought silently.

"The second effect," Cao Yang continued, "is money. What is the average income of Chinese people now? A single game is 68 yuan, the hardcover version is 100, and the 18-up version is 168. Players may be able to afford it for a year. Two or three stand-alone games, but what about online games?

  Point card charges, 15 yuan 300 points, 50 hours of play, this is a two-way squeeze, the more time online games squeeze you, the more money you pay.

  In this way, how much money can players leave for a single machine? "

"Uh-huh……"

  Several people nodded at the same time, and Mr. Cao explained in a simple way, very easy to understand.

   Even better, there is also a hint of sadness.

  Liu Guangran and the little secretary covered their faces uncomfortably at the same time.

  This is probably the sadness of being single.

  The little secretary stared at Cao Yang angrily, "Boss, I understand, the reason why I can't make a boyfriend is because of you. You squeezed me dry and monopolized me..."

   "Hey! You can't talk nonsense." Cao Yang interrupted quickly.

  The little secretary looked bewildered, and the following words were not finished yet, "I mean, I monopolized my time and money..."

  ……
