Chapter 129 I, Qin Shaoyan, have no background
Before, Xiong Xiaoge thought that Qin Shaoyan was a bit conservative, but now he realizes that he seems to be conservative.
According to Xiong Xiaoge’s idea, this year the campus network and the public network will be divided into winners and losers, and then the winner will prepare for IPO next year.
But Qin Shaoyan's current attitude made him confused.
"President Qin is very confident." Xiong Xiaoge glanced at Qin Shaoyan.
"The promotion agreement between me and Penguin has not yet come into effect." Qin Shaoyan looked particularly calm and relaxed, "And my focus of work this year is not planned to be on the expansion of the campus network. I need to do a good job in internal strength and integrate the campus network team. "
"After all, we have only been established for less than a year. We need to transform from a grassroots team to a professional team. Even the management team is severely lacking."
Speaking of this, Qin Shaoyan suddenly looked away. Xiong Xiaoge said with a smile: "Mr. Xiong, do you have any talents you can recommend to us? We are recruiting with high salary, generous benefits, flexible work, and flat management."
Xiong Xiaoge thought for a moment before replying: "Not yet, but I will help you keep an eye on it."
"Then the IDG team is welcome to come to our campus network to communicate, and we will also study hard." Qin Shaoyan changed the subject, "Mr. Xiong, we have this request You won’t refuse.”
Xiong Xiaoge feels a little baffled. Our people are too busy inspecting investment projects every day, so why should we go to your place to exchange and learn.
"Well, okay, let's talk about it later." Xiong Xiaoge said casually.
Qin Shaoyan's mind is indeed not on the campus network. He currently has two online game projects on hand.
One is a free online game for Sohu, and the other is a horizontal fighting game made with pixels.
In addition, he also plans to create a stand-alone game. These are plans made years ago.
As for the campus network, Qin Shaoyan is not worried at all, and the campus network really needs to strengthen its team.
2004 was an extraordinary year for the game industry. The first and second ChinaJoy were both held in this year.
On February 27, the competition for the exclusive operating rights of "World of Warcraft" in China ended, and The9 finally won the exclusive operating rights of "World of Warcraft" in China.
On March 12, five ministries and commissions, including the Copyright Administration, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Information Industry, and the Office of the National “Anti-Pornography” and “Crackdown on Illegal Affairs” convened in Shanghai to “carry out a special project to crack down on private servers and plug-ins.” Governance Working Conference”.
Determine the work policy of further focusing on key areas, focusing on major links, and grasping major and important cases, so as to promote special governance work.
On April 21, China Radio and Television issued the "Notice on Prohibiting the Broadcast of Computer Online Game Programs" regarding the issue of computer online game programs, requiring radio and television broadcasting agencies at all levels not to set up computer online game columns or broadcast computer online game programs. Online game show.
In May, the zy Civilization Committee issued the "XXXX" notice, requiring the Publishing House to take the lead in "formulating relevant policies, actively encouraging, guiding, and supporting software development companies, and developing and promoting game software that is beneficial to the healthy growth of minors. product".
The Edition Office subsequently launched the "National Online Game Publishing Project", developed the "Green Online Game Protector Series Software" and organized the development of a large-scale online game series "Chinese Heroes" to provide more entertaining and educational content for young people. , an online game that promotes the excellent culture of the Chinese nation.
At the same time, the Publishing House took the lead in conducting a comprehensive inspection of the electronic game publication market in Yanjing City. A total of more than 50 electronic game publications suspected of illegal and illegal publication were found, and many stand-alone games such as Resident Evil 4 were banned. .
The polarization in the treatment of stand-alone games and online games has become increasingly obvious, and stand-alone game producers have suffered an unprecedented blow.
If Qin Shaoyan and the publishing department had not launched a stand-alone game overseas project, domestic stand-alone game producers would really not have the confidence to continue.
Although the several stand-alone game studios acquired by Qin Shaoyan do not have to worry about market and sales issues, domestic policy changes still make them a little panicked.
Liu Kun from Pixel Studio was elected by everyone to make suggestions to Mr. Qin.
"Mr. Qin, the industry is now very pessimistic about the development of stand-alone games, and many companies will not be able to survive." Liu Kun said worriedly, "Although it is possible to try the North American market, but seriously It’s because everyone’s confidence has been shattered.”
“If everyone doesn’t have the courage to do this, we really can’t do stand-alone games. Today, two more stand-alone players told me that they want to switch to online games. ”
Qin Shaoyan also sighed, "It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married. Let them go. You can't stop others from making money."
If people in the game industry want to survive, switching to online games is their last resort. . What's more, the online game market is so hot, with a lot of money and companies pouring in. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. There is nothing wrong with everyone trying to survive.
Liu Kun also understands this truth, but he is not willing to let the flame of stand-alone games die out like this.
After holding it in for a long time, Liu Kun cautiously probed: "Mr. Qin, you have many connections, strong connections, and you are the most powerful producer in the industry. You must come forward and talk about it."
"What did I say?!" Qin Shaoyan asked, "Right now, the stand-alone industry is short of talent, lack of funds, and most importantly, lack of confidence. Unless domestic stand-alone studios make big money right away, no one will jump here. .”
“Mr. Qin, don’t you have connections in the publishing department?” Liu Kun said with a grimace, “Go and give us some feedback.”
“ What nonsense are you talking about?!" Qin Shaoyan frowned, "How can I, a college student with no background, have such a strong relationship?"
Liu Kun sighed and turned around silently.
Qin Shaoyan sat in the office in a daze, looking at the busy streets outside the window, and at the various game peripherals placed on the cabinet, and he stood up directly.
Since his rebirth, if he had to say what career obsession he couldn't let go of the most, it would be games.
Even the campus network is not as important as games in his mind. To put it bluntly, he doesn't feel bad even if the campus network suddenly closes down.
Only the game is different.
Qin Shaoyan dressed up neatly, put on his suit, then walked out the door, took the car and went straight to the printing office.
Mr. Qin’s only personal connection Chen Peng was immersed in organizing documents. When he saw Qin Shaoyan coming in, he quickly stood up with a smile and enthusiastically made him tea.
"Why is Mr. Qin free to come here today?"
"I haven't seen Brother Chen for a long time, so I stopped by to see you." Qin Shaoyan looked at Chen Peng with a smile.
Because Chen Peng has successfully completed the negotiation task in North America and "secured quite favorable conditions for domestic games", his position is expected to change within the year.
Chen Peng knew very well how he got this credit, and became more and more enthusiastic about Qin Shaoyan.
"Recently, the publishing office is going to launch a national online game publishing project." Chen Peng put the tea cup in front of Qin Shaoyan, and then sat next to him, "Aren't you working on online games recently? Please sort out the materials. Report it up.”
Qin Shaoyan knew about the National Online Game Publishing Project.
This is a policy issued by the edition office in response to "zgzygwy's Several Guiding Opinions on Further Strengthening and Improving the Ideological and Moral Construction of Minors".
In order to promote the excellent culture and traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, it is conducive to improving the independent innovation capabilities of online games, conducive to strengthening the ideological and moral construction of minors, and establishing scientific and healthy consumption concepts, and conducive to the sustainability of the national game publishing industry healthy development.
For any topic included in the national online game publishing project, the Publishing House will work with relevant national departments to provide various policy supports to ensure the smooth completion of the project.
Qin Shaoyan sighed, unable to answer these words.
Say no, it's really inappropriate.
Don’t refuse. I just told Liu Kun that I don’t have the ability and it doesn’t matter if I want policies.
In the end, I turned around and started a "national online game publishing project" for myself. It was hard to explain when I got back.
"Director Chen." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "Actually, I'm here for the stand-alone game."
