Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 413 Reaching a Consensus
The Yangcheng Pig Factory headquarters building is a highly recognizable black building. As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. When Zhou Dongsheng visited the pig factory building again, he was naturally familiar with it.
As one of the top companies in the domestic Internet industry, the headquarters of Zhuchang has always been a controversial point.
Yangcheng, as the blessed land where the pig farm was founded, witnessed the pig farm’s development from scratch to its listing, and also witnessed Ding Sanshi’s glory of becoming the richest man in China.
Logically speaking, Yangcheng should be the headquarters of the pig factory, which should be an indisputable point. However, after the pig factory branch in Hangzhou was built and Ding Sanshi, the company president who was originally from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, chose to work in Hangzhou...
The saying about the pig factory's headquarters has become a hot topic that the outside world never tires of discussing. In the eyes of many people, since even Ding Sanshi is based in Hangzhou, the Hangzhou pig factory is naturally the headquarters of the pig factory.
After all, can a place where even the boss doesn’t want to be called a headquarters?
Even many newly developed businesses, whether e-commerce or cloud music, are basically centered around the Hangzhou Pig Farm. It is precisely because of these many initiatives that the outside world has an association that the focus of the pig farm is shifting to Hangzhou.
However, Zhou Dongsheng knew that the pig factory would return to Yangcheng in the future and would spend a huge amount of money to build a distinctive new headquarters building. He responded to outside speculation with strong facts and declared that the pig factory's headquarters would always be in Yangcheng.
I just wonder if the big boss Ding Sanshi has already acquired that piece of land at this moment?
Even Zhou Dongsheng, who is on good terms with the big boss, does not know the truth for the time being. After all, when he visited the pig farm this time, Ding Sanshi, the top boss, was not in Yangcheng.
Such a big shot at the top of the domestic pyramid has always had an erratic whereabouts, and Zhou Dongsheng was not surprised by this. Fortunately, Ding Sanshi also gave Zhou Dongsheng the contact information of Wang Yi, the person in charge of the pig farm in Yangcheng and the vice president of the pig farm, last time.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng also made arrangements in advance, came downstairs, and explained his purpose. Soon, someone led them to the vice president's office.
Although a mere game project was not enough to require the vice president of the pig factory to follow up personally, Wang Yi did not dare to neglect Zhou Dongsheng, the "mysterious" young man.
Ever since he witnessed Mr. Ding's attitude towards Zhou Dongsheng last time, and after Mr. Ding asked him to take good care of him, Wang Yi naturally paid more attention to the progress of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
Under the instruction of Mr. Ding, Leihuo Studio, the elite game development team of Zhuchang which happened to be idle, took over the project.
With the help of Leihuo Studio, the research and development progress of this game is naturally rapid. After all, many popular games under Zhuchang, whether mobile games or PC games, have the participation of Leihuo Studio.
It can be said that those who are good at fighting do not have great achievements.
After participating in the development of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the head of Leihuo Studio seemed to have developed a strong interest in this type of battle royale game.
After reporting to Wang Yi, he was full of praise for the future prospects of this kind of battle royale game, and even excitedly suggested to Wang Yi that he could consider developing a battle royale game of his own...
Of course, as the vice president in charge of NetEase Games, Wang Yi is relatively pragmatic, and the process of establishing a game project is naturally not so hasty.
Although Wang Yi was very optimistic about this game project after talking with Brandon Green, and even suggested that Ding acquire the project and let Zhuchang Games take full charge of it, and also guaranteed that there would be no losses ...
However, that was a suggestion based on Brandon Green's project, and the so-called "no loss" guarantee was indeed a harmless remark considering the size of Zhuchang Games.
After all, compared to not making losses, it is obviously much more difficult to make Zhuchang Games lose money!
After completing this project, we want Zhuchang Games to immediately develop a battle royale game on its own, at least to verify the potential of this type of game first.
It just so happens that the development progress of the has been almost completed, so we can use this game to test the waters and see how much impact this so-called battle royale game can cause in the game market.
Afterwards, it is obviously not too late to decide whether to launch the project based on market feedback. Anyway, QQ Games also has a part in the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", and QQ Games will also be responsible for its distribution.
In this regard, Wang Yi knew that Zhou Dongsheng and others came to visit today, most likely for matters related to the release of this game.
When his subordinates pushed open the office door and led Zhou Dongsheng and others in, Wang Yi immediately smiled brightly and stood up to greet Zhou Dongsheng and others enthusiastically.
"Mr. Zhou is here. What a rare guest . Please take a seat."
"Mr. Wang, sorry to bother you. It's just a game project, but I have to trouble you..." As the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling person. Zhou Dongsheng naturally did not dare to neglect Wang Yi's attitude and greeted him very politely.
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, you're joking. The person in charge of Leihuo Studio praised this game highly in front of me, and even highly praised the prospects of this type of battle royale game..."
Wang Yi said with a smile, as for the suggestion of letting the company launch a project to develop its own battle royale game, Wang Yi would naturally not be stupid enough to say this.
"Oh? I didn't expect that the charm of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" could have already impressed the knowledgeable pig factory technicians. Otherwise, Mr. Wang would have reluctantly given up and given this talent directly to us." Zhou Dongsheng joked with a smile.
"Well, how about I call someone over and let Mr. Zhou ask in person. After all, the door of our pig factory is always open, and we fully respect the personal wishes of our employees." Wang Yi said calmly, but the confidence in the pig factory in his words was undisguised.
Although good birds choose trees to roost in, there are indeed only a limited number of companies in the industry with better conditions than the pig farm, and people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places...
As the elite of the game development department of Zhuchang, there is no reason for them to be poached by a small company, unless... it is Mr. Ding's intention.
"Hahaha, just kidding. After all, it is thanks to Brother Ding that our small company is fortunate enough to receive technical support from the gaming giant Zhuchang. I am grateful to him so much, how could I possibly repay him with evil?"
Zhou Dongsheng laughed, then changed the subject, saying that after the pleasantries, it was time to get down to business.
"This time I came to see Mr. Wang to discuss the distribution strategy of the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and the game version number. I also hope that Zhuchang can lend us a helping hand."
"Only if the game can be launched as soon as possible can we achieve win-win cooperation, right?" Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
"Of course. In fact, the approval of the game license has already been underway. With the quality of this game, I think it won't be a problem to get the license..."
Wang Yi said with a smile that there was no need for Zhou Dongsheng to remind him of such things. Wang Yi also wanted to see the market reaction, so naturally the sooner the better.
Therefore, the two sides had an in-depth exchange on many issues concerning game distribution and operation. Zhou Dongsheng used the same old trick and brought out the theory that conquered the foreigner Brandon Green.
As expected, the two sides hit it off and reached a preliminary consensus.
