Xu Bo was originally a customer service employee for Journey to the West.
Because Journey to the West failed miserably, he was the only customer service employee who persisted in the game.
In the end, Journey to the West was revived with the help of 5173.
Even though it was revived, Journey to the West was still a bit rough and had a lot of bugs.
For the sake of long-term development, NetEase decided to redo it.
Even though it was redone, Xu Bo was ostracized by the higher-ups of NetEase.
At first, Xu Bo was responsible for the operations of Journey to the West 1.
But after Journey to the West 2 appeared, Xu Bo was no longer allowed to participate.
If history hadn't changed.
Then, in the next period of time, Xu Bo would apply to develop Fantasy Westward Journey in extreme frustration.
Using Journey to the West 1 as a foundation, they would develop a turn-based game based on cartoon characters.
That was Fantasy Journey to the West.
At the time, no one was optimistic about Fantasy Journey to the West. At the time, several higher-ups in the company said that if Fantasy Journey to the West could reach one-tenth of Journey to the West's simultaneous online players, then it would be the best.
But sometimes, drama was like this.
A small customer service employee developed Fantasy Journey to the West to become NetEase's most popular online game.
However, even if the famous Fantasy Westward Journey was created, Xu Bo's position in NetEase was only the head of the planning department of Fantasy Westward Journey. He was far from being a senior executive.
In 2006, Xu Bo resigned from NetEase.
Later, the media used Xu Bo to say that Fantasy Journey to the West was a gold ingot that NetEase suddenly picked up from the sky.
At this moment, Xu Bo should be extremely frustrated.
No matter what, he was still the last person who insisted on Journey to the West.
The digging went smoothly.
If it was to dig up a higher-up in NetEase, it might not be so easy.
But digging up Xu Bo, who had been marginalized, was actually quite easy.
Even though NetEase knew that Xu Bo was the last person who insisted on Journey to the West, Xu Bo was only a small customer service employee.
Moreover, Xu Bo's education was only in junior high school.
Yes.
You couldn't imagine.
Xu Bo, who planned Journey to the West, was only in junior high school. His education was even lower than Zhang Jianming's.
In this era where education was the most important factor, it was normal for Xu Bo to be marginalized by NetEase.
Moreover, Xu Bo had yet to display his talent.
Their only contribution was that they managed to hold their ground in the end. Perhaps to them, this was not a contribution at all.
It was just that the company had arranged for him to be the last customer service representative. It would have been the same for anyone else.
"Boss Chen, we found Xu Bo."
Wang Chang called Chen Yu back.
Chen Yu was a little surprised. "So fast, it's only been three days."
"Sigh, this can't even be considered as digging his feet."
Wang Chang sighed, "The moment Xu Bo submitted his resignation, the higher-ups immediately agreed."
"Uh …"
Chen Yu's face was covered in tears.
However, that would be great.
Since NetEase doesn't want it, I want it.
"Hurry and tell him to come to Shin Fung. I want to see him."
"Okay, he said he needs to pack his things and will be here in about three days."
"Alright."
Chen Yu nodded.
"By the way, Boss Chen, other than Xu Bo, I also found another person."
"Who?"
"Wu Yunyang."
"Who is Wu Yunyang?"
"NetEase's programmer. Xu Bo recommended him to me."
"Okay, tell them to come to Shin Fung together."
Speaking of which, Chen Yu really wanted to meet Xu Bo. After all, he was the genius who planned Fantasy Westward Journey. Even after leaving NetEase, the Shenwu series he developed had achieved good results. Moreover, he did even better after leaving NetEase. At least, he had made tens of billions of yuan in wealth.
Three days later, Xu Bo and Wu Yunyang arrived at Huanyu Technologies.
"You're the founder of Huanyu Technologies?"
"What, you don't look like me?"
"Haha, no, I'm really surprised."
Xu Bo was extremely surprised.
He couldn't imagine that the CEO of Huanyu Technologies, who was so influential in the online gaming industry, was only around 20 years old.
"I'm also surprised, Xu Bo. I heard that if it wasn't for you, Fantasy Westward Journey would have been disbanded."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Xu Bo was 24 years old, still very young. Seeing Chen Yu being so polite to him, Xu Bo was flattered. "I like to play games, and I don't have much education. At that time, NetEase was hiring customer service. I thought customer service didn't need much education, so I applied. But there were too many bugs in Fantasy Westward Journey, so NetEase almost gave up on it. But there were still some players playing the game, so I was hired as customer service. I'm not some big hero. If you want to talk about the credit, it's still Huanyu Technology. Without Huanyu Technologies, Fantasy Westward Journey would have been finished. "
At that time, Xu Bo was just a small employee. Even if he was in charge of Fantasy Westward Journey for a while, it was only because no one knew more about Fantasy Westward Journey than Xu Bo. Xu Bo wasn't particularly confident at this moment, and Chen Yu could tell that. But it didn't matter, he believed that Xu Bo's talent would explode.
"What do you mean by Huanyu Technologies? Xu Bo, do you not want to join us?"
Chen Yu glared at Xu Bo and said.
"No, no, Boss Chen, I haven't gotten into character yet."
Xu Bo waved his hands.
"Right, Boss Chen, let me introduce you. This is Wu Yun Yang, my colleague from NetEase."
"Hello, Yun Yang. Welcome to Huanyu Technologies."
"Thank you, Boss Chen."
"Boss Chen, Yun Yang is a great game developer. Fantasy Westward Journey's engine was developed by Yun Yang in three months when he was in university. "
"Are you talking about the Wind Spirit Engine?"
Chen Yu asked.
"I didn't expect Boss Chen to have heard of it."
Wu Yun Yang was a little surprised.
"I played Fantasy Westward Journey for a few days, so I know a little."
Of course, this was not the truth.
The truth was that Fantasy Westward Journey was developed with the Wind Spirit Engine as the foundation.
"Boss Chen must be very disappointed. Actually, the Wind Spirit Engine is not very mature."
Wu Yun Yang was not happy that Chen Yu knew about the Wind Spirit Engine.
Fantasy Westward Journey was going to be remade, while NetEase felt that the Wind Spirit Engine's quality was average and deliberately used other engines.
How should he put it? Both of them were a little disappointed.
"When I was in university, I developed a 2D engine all by myself. That's enough to be proud of. Yun Yang, I have high hopes for you. Coincidentally, we are also preparing to develop a 2D turn-based game. Your Wind Spirit Engine can be used. "
"Boss Chen, you want to use my Wind Spirit Engine?"
"Is there a problem?"
"This, this … Boss Chen, you may not know, but Fantasy Westward Journey is being remade. NetEase did not use the Wind Spirit Engine."
"I believe you."
Chen Yu looked at Wu Yun Yang with determination.
"Boss Chen, don't worry. I will remake the Wind Spirit Engine."
Wu Yun Yang clenched his fists.
He knew that the opportunity had come. Whether he could grasp it or not depended on himself.
Hearing about turn-based online games, Xu Bo's eyes lit up. He asked, "Boss Chen, the company is also developing a turn-based online game?"
"That's right."
Chen Yu nodded. "Xu Bo, I don't know what you think about turn-based online games."
"Me …"
Xu Bo was a little embarrassed. He took out a thick stack of documents from his bag. "Boss Chen, I can't really say what I think. This is my remake of Fantasy Westward Journey. Unfortunately, NetEase did not adopt it. Maybe they think that my education is too low. But I think that if the company wants to make a turn-based game, Fantasy Westward Journey can still be considered. "
