In a conference room, Xiao Yunhai sat at the head of the table. Below him were Alan, Amy, Mouse, and a few other people in charge.
Zhang Yuan returned to China after the internal testing to prepare for the wedding.
He and Xiao Ling 'er had planned to get married in June. Later, they found a fortune teller who told them that according to their birth characters, it would be best to get married on December 12th of this year if everything went smoothly. Thus, the elders of the two families decided to postpone the wedding for six months. It was better to believe the truth than to not believe it at all.
Xiao Yunhai didn't believe in these things before, but now he did. Even something as unimaginable as transmigration could happen. Perhaps there really was such a thing as fate.
Xiao Yunhai knocked on the table and said, "Everyone, first of all, I want to thank all the developers of War of the Kings for finally making this game. It only took a little more than a year from beginning to end. It's a miracle in the gaming world. For this, I want to give the developers a reward of ten thousand USD each. When the game is released and sells well, we'll give them a big reward. "
Alan jotted it down in his notebook and said, "Okay. I'll ask the finance department to transfer the money to everyone's cards. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Secondly, I want to discuss the release of War of the Kings. Alan, how's the operation of World of Warcraft? "
Alan said, "It's not as good as last year, but it still earns around 120 million USD each day. It has a market share of 28%."
Xiao Yunhai knew that World of Warcraft's market share had dropped a lot because of The World.
Back then, the two games used all kinds of methods to fight for the market share. In the end, World of Warcraft had a bigger market share than The World because it had the initiative.
However, they didn't expect that three months ago, Ganga Games, the No.1 company in Japan, would develop an online game called Star Wars after two years, which dealt a heavy blow to The World and World of Warcraft and snatched tens of millions of players from them.
After a period of development, the situation between the two games turned into a war between three countries. Star Wars came from behind and defeated World of Warcraft, successfully taking the first place.
The market share of "Magic World" dropped from 42% to 28%. "The World" was even worse, dropping from 36% to 20%. "Star Wars" occupied 39%, earning 200 million USD every day.
It was said that Star Moon Games would release a large-scale naval battle game soon. The situation would be more complicated by then.
Under such a gaming environment, Xiao Yunhai had been considering whether or not to enter the market for War of the Kings and participate in the competition.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Alan, if War of the Kings is released now, how will it affect World of Warcraft?"
Alan smiled bitterly, "If War of the Kings succeeds, it will definitely affect World of Warcraft's market share. Of course, it will also bring a heavy blow to The World and Star Wars. But for us, it's not worth it. I don't think World of Warcraft has all its potential. It'll be a pity if it declines completely because of us. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "You have the same idea as me. Star Wars is at its peak. If we release War of the Kings now, even if we win, it'll be a pyrrhic victory. It might even affect World of Warcraft. I don't want to do something stupid like sacrificing 800 to kill 1000 enemies. Let's wait until World of Warcraft's market share drops below 20% and Star Wars' popularity is over. That'll be the best time for us to release War of the Kings. "
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yunhai continued, "However, we can't stop developing the game. Amy, you'll lead the R&D team to work on Dungeons and Warriors. Mouse will be in charge of setting up a branch of Storm Game Company to develop Fantasy Westward Journey. Do you have any problems with that? "
Amy smiled, "Don't worry, Boss. We've already started production."
Mouse said, "Our brothers returned to Hua Xia a month ago and are recruiting. We've recruited more than 200 people. We'll finish Fantasy Westward Journey within a year."
Xiao Yunhai smiled, "Very good. After these two games are finished, the entire game world will belong to us. "
After the meeting, Xiao Yunhai had a casual lunch and went to a commercial building not far from the company's headquarters at 2 PM. Accompanying him was Daniel from Magic Visual Effects.
"Boss, we've rented the 8th to 16th floors. The people in charge are all people who worked at Fantasy Westward Journey a while ago. They have a clear idea of what you want. According to your request, they've already started working. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded, "Very good."
Walking into the office, sure enough, the technicians inside were busy working non-stop.
When they saw Xiao Yun Hai, everyone stood up in unison and greeted him.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Thank you for helping me with the post-production special effects for Celestial Bane. This movie is very troublesome. It uses more special effects than 2012, and the requirements are stricter. It's very tedious, and every detail has to be taken into consideration. Therefore, I have no choice but to invite everyone here to express my gratitude. If you need anything, feel free to look for Mr. Daniel. "
Xiao Yunhai made a lot of money. Then, he gathered more than 20 people in charge for a meeting to discuss various problems with the post-production special effects.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai treated them to a meal. It was already 10 PM when he returned home.
After taking a hot shower, Kree, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly called him.
"Hey, how are you? Did you get the art director? "Xiao Yunhai asked with a grin.
Kree said proudly, "I'm a great Casanova. How can I fail? Xiao, Jingyun and I are getting married at Christmas. You must come. "
When Xiao Yunhai heard that, his eyeballs almost fell out. He said, "Really? You've changed. It's amazing. "
Kree sighed. "Xiao, now I know why you like Wan Qing so much and don't care about other women. It turns out that the feeling of falling in love with someone is really a kind of happiness. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Congratulations, you've found your life partner. Did you call me to inform me that you're getting married? "
Kree said, "No. I know you're in Los Angeles. I know you're in Los Angeles and I want to invite you to an NBA game. "
Xiao Yunhai was stunned and said, "Are you sick, kid? Why are you inviting me to an NBA game? "
Kree smiled bitterly. "My wife wants to get to know you. She's a big fan of yours. There's a game between the Lakers and the Spurs tomorrow, so she asked me to buy three tickets with very good seats. She wants to invite you to watch it. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "It seems that I'm still very charming. Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow. I'll see what kind of charm this Miss Wei Jingyun has to make you change. "
Kree said happily, "That's great. Let's meet at 7: 30 PM tomorrow at the entrance of Staples Center. "
"Okay."
After hanging up, Xiao Yunhai whispered, "In my previous life, I've never watched an NBA game live."
