Chapter 206 204. What? ! Want to bind war3 to the game platform? !
Led by Ding Yingfeng, Bomi soon took over the entire NetEase game department and established [Westward Journey Studio], which was also called Bomi with the original [King Studio] and [Guofeng Studio]. Three major game studios.
In fact, there should be a fourth studio now, called [Competitive Studio] or [Challenge Studio]. Unfortunately, so far I have not found a suitable plan to take over.
Sister Hua was completely lost when she heard about this.
"Boss, don't you want to recruit a numerical plan to adjust the value of "Warcraft 3"? How did you recruit and finally set up a new department?"
"Hey, I don't want to. The plan can't keep up with the changes."
Cao Yang also considered whether to let Ding Yingfeng be the chief planner of war3, and then adjusted the value.
After thinking about it, forget it. Ding Yingfeng's expertise is not on this. It is really inappropriate to ask him to adjust the value of war3.
The same principle. Ordinary players do not have the sensitivity of professional players to numerical values and feel. It is okay to make numerical frameworks, but it is actually problematic to make fine adjustments by hand.
So Cao Yang still wants to find professional war3 players or interstellar players to do this.
Boss Cao almost swallowed the NetEase Game Division, except for a person named Xu Bo.
It stands to reason that Xu Bo's performance in his previous life is so brilliant. His achievements in the two games of Fantasy and Big Talk can be said to be unmatched. Even an article on a famous website introducing the game "Fantasy Westward Journey Cold Knowledge Special Issue" In ", there is a sentence, "an unplanned product initiated by a customer service staff".
The "customer service staff" here refers to Xu Bo, but——
Xu Bo and Ding Yingfeng received completely different treatment from Boss Cao.
Boss Cao never thought of asking him at all, so he didn't even have an interview.
For this reason, Ding Yingfeng also specifically approached Cao Yang to ask, “Xu Bo is a very talented young man, why doesn't Mr. Cao refuse to give him a chance?”
In this regard, Cao Yang only answered a few words——
"There is no reason, I just don't like it." Cao Yang said.
He really doesn't like Xu Bo.
If it is accepted, it will poke a big basket for the company in the future. According to Cao Yang's idea, Xu Bo can do nothing inferior to Jiang Fan's.
If Wang Sicong is a well-recognized rich man, a scumbag, he acts high-profile and has a completely domineering image.
So Xu Broadcast must be worse than ever.
This person's character is like this, he is rampant, dare to say anything and dare to do anything, according to Xu Bo's own statement——
"If there is a button in the world that can kill 3 billion people by pressing it, then I will definitely press it, so don't mess with me."
After Xu Bo created more than 100 million yuan, the squeeze on employees can be said to be the most excessive in the entire industry. The department director even has his own [bed] in the company, because the boss gives you money, and I hope you can work hard for it 24 hours a day. .
Xu Bo is not stingy about money, but he has a strong desire to control. He basically has no shares. He alone has the final say in the company.
More than 100 million employees commented on him: “Xu Bo's dream is to build Doe into his own kingdom, to be the emperor himself, and to enjoy the feeling of an emperor.
Basically, no one is allowed to oppose oneself in the company. I remember that there was a new plan, and he said in the company group that he disagreed with his ideas, and he was fired the next day. "
Multi-billion is known as the melting pot of the game industry, not only because its overtime is the most ruthless in the industry, but also because spiritual slavery is notoriously terrifying. Through various mental flogging, Xu Bo can be said to use pua in the workplace. To the extreme, give an example-
In 2020, Xu Bo asked employees to take the initiative to send him an email [request for salary reduction]. This incident caused an uproar on the Internet as soon as it broke out.
Later, more than 100 million people explained--
Xu Bo did this to verify the obedience of the employees: employees who voluntarily propose a salary reduction will receive more bonuses at the end of the year, while employees who are unwilling to reduce their salary may face a penalty of expulsion.
Not only that, but Xu Bo's personal style is also very confusing. There are rumors on the Internet that he [has 12 babies, realistic version of polygamy], Xu Bo only falls in love and does not get married, and has n lovers. Basically, these women are all He is white and beautiful with long legs and is willing to give him a baby.
Xu Bo often gathers his aunts and wives together to show his greatness.
Xiao Wang is nothing compared to him.
(There are a lot of revelations on the Internet, the author will not give examples here.)
In short, Cao Yang believes that this person's character is not good, and he is regarded as a model of a villain's ambition. Sooner or later, he will cause a catastrophe if he stays in the company.
After Xu broadcast was unsuccessful, the whole popularity was indignant, "Boss Cao is just taking care of himself, and he has no knowledge of people at all. It is really strange that this kind of company can do so long."
However, Xu Bo did not join the company, and Cao Yang later discovered that Guo Wei did not report to the company as agreed, and instead declined the contract offered by Bomi.
This made Cao Yang smell a hint of uneasiness, as if the NetEase thing was going to be staged again.
But today is different. Cao Yang is not worried about being backstab at all, because now Bomi has a very powerful legal department. If Xu Bo really dares to copy the Fantasy Westward Journey, then he will directly sue him for bankruptcy.
In fact, history really has an amazing coincidence. After Xu Bo's door to Bomi was closed, he immediately pulled a team from NetEase and prepared to go it alone.
Because NetEase had a good relationship with Jinshan before, Boss Ding also ate dinner with Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun, so Xu Bo, as the main planner, also had a fate with several big guys from Jinshan.
For Xu Bo's entrepreneurship, Lei Jun wanted to give them a try, so he invested 10 million yuan to see the future development.
At the same time, Cao Yang finally recruited suitable candidates for war3 numerical planning.
First of all, after some screening, Cao Yang finally selected a middle-upper classmate who had a good score in war3 among candidates from the Department of Mathematics of National Tsing Hua University.
The name of the classmate is Meng Xiao.
After all, it's a bit unrealistic to play games well and have good academic performance.
What's more, it is the place where such abnormalities gather in the Department of Mathematics of National Tsing Hua University.
Many people are obsessed with mathematics and don't play games very well, which is really heartbreaking.
Mathematics students generally have a characteristic. They are more interested in theory and less in application, so it is not good to recruit too advanced, let them contribute to the future mathematical theory.
Meng Xiao, who graduated from the Mathematics Department of National Tsing Hua University in the upper reaches of the middle and upper reaches, is enough for a company like Bomi.
He also mainly provides algorithms, constructs mathematical models, and uses MATLAB for simulation and analysis. In fact, he does not need much knowledge of mathematics. After he has a computer, he does not need to do specific calculations. After the mathematical model is built, Only need to adjust and input the parameters, and finally see whether the output results meet the expectations.
Most numerical planning in the game industry requires only one excel to handle everything, and only a small number of people need to use MATLAB.
As for the specific numerical adjustment, it is not Meng Xiao that gave the final numerical value.
This time, Sister Hua recruited people very well and brought two very satisfied candidates to Cao Yang——
One is magicyang, the earliest batch of war3 players in China. It can be said that they are **** characters, known as tactical masters. Although the apm is only about 120, the tactical experience is very rich, the imagination is extraordinary, and many genres and routines have been created.
Apm refers to the number of operations per minute, which reflects the person's real hand speed. The higher the apm, the faster the hand speed.
Players like Lao Yang with a hand speed of 120 are relatively slow among war players, but he is better at having a strong tactical awareness, rich personal experience, and a high percentage of effective operations.
Magicyang's real name is Zhou Chen, and it has a very nice voice and very magnetic.
The other is called Ma Tianyuan, the 01 interstellar champion. Although the main interstellar game is played, he also plays war3 in private. This person has a very powerful operation. You must know that the operation units of interstellar can be much more than that of war3. Many Zerg players have to operate almost 200 units, and the limit of war3 is almost 2 to 2. 3 groups, almost dozens of units are already amazing, so with Ma Tianyuan's hand speed, there is definitely no problem playing war3.
If he is not focusing on the interstellar, he should also be a war3 god.
It is Cao Yang's regret that he did not recruit Sky Li Xiaofeng.
But think about it carefully, Sky is only 18 years old now, it is the golden age of competitive players, instead of recruiting as a numerical planner, it is better to let him go to the game and win glory for the country.
Zhou Chen and Ma Tianyuan were both in 1981, about the same age as Cao Yang. When they were called to the boss's office, they didn't know that Cao Yang was the boss. They thought they were applying for jobs just like them.
"Brother, what game do you play?" Zhou Chen asked him.
Magicyang has a kind of honest and honest big brother.
This is the first time Cao Yang has seen him so young.
Zhou Chen asked this question because the e-sports circle was very small. Especially in 2003, there were not many professional players in China. Both Ma Tianyuan and Zhou Chen knew each other. They both played games and played clubs. .
But Cao Yang's face is really new, and the new one makes them unable to find out from their memory which professional player looks like this.
After all, it is rare for a teenager to grow up to be so good-looking and with amazing hand speed. Either he will become a star or be taken care of by a rich woman.
"Me?" Cao Yang was taken aback, "I play all games."
"Awesome." Ma Tianyuan sighed.
Then the two introduced to Cao Yang, "My name is Ma Tianyuan. I played StarCraft before. I heard that Bomi can not only play games, but also earn money steadily, so I'm here."
Zhou Chen smiled, "I am almost the same, my name is Zhou Chen, war3 player, magicyang in the game, and everyone else calls me Lao Yang."
Who would have thought that a person named Lao Yang would have a surname Zhou?
What did this person think when he named his name?
Cao Yang smiled, "Very good, the company's games will depend on you in the future."
While talking, he poured tea for two people.
Looking at Cao Yang's familiar appearance, the two of them couldn't help feeling a little dumb.
The boss didn't even come. The little brother soaked and drank himself, as if this was his home, and there was no trace of embarrassment between the gestures.
Even Zhou Chen admired his face.
Is this young man a bit too anti-objective?
but……
Ma Tianyuan turned his head and looked, there was only one secretary lady in the entire office except Cao Yang, and the boss didn't know when he would come.
"By the way, brother, what is your name?" Zhou Chen asked in confusion after taking a sip of tea.
can also be regarded as an acquaintance. Let us introduce each other, and we will all be brothers who will work together in the future.
"Me?" Cao Yang raised his head and looked at them in confusion, "Don't you know what my name is?"
Fuck, then you guys come to talk so well?
"Familiar..." Zhou Chen said, "I just can't remember where I saw it."
Cao Yang smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Cao Yang, the general manager of Bomi."
"Puff..."
Zhou Chen spouted a sip of tea.
A few people chatted very happily in the boss's office. From the red alert to the interstellar, and then from the interstellar to war3, Zhou Chen and Ma Tianyuan were deeply impressed by Cao Yang's wide range of game knowledge.
Although he is a theoretical school, Cao Yang said a lot of things that they had never thought about before.
After , Cao Yang briefly introduced their work to the two people. Zhou Chen and Ma Tianyuan were very happy.
In this world, it is true happiness to be a numerical planner of war3, you can play games in a fair way, and you can make money.
If the level does not regress, Bomi will not interfere with you whether or not to play the game.
Of course, the premise of playing the game is that you have to do your job well.
After the boss talked, there was no problem with Cao Yang. Soon Zhou Chen and Ma Tianyuan passed the interview and successfully got a contract from HR.
After signing, Zhou Chen and Ma Tianyuan sat in the reception room and looked at each other. Everyone had an incredible expression on their faces.
"Wow, I can't believe it. We can actually become the producers of war3." Zhou Chen let out a sigh of emotion.
Seriously, even if Boss Cao doesn't give money, Zhou Chen is willing to come over.
can become the numerical planning of war3. This is something that many people dream of. It is equivalent to playing on a platform built by others before. Now this platform is yours.
Zhou Chen silently looked at his right hand, as if he felt an infinite power.
Is this what it feels like to become a **** of creation?
"Hahaha, whoever feels upset in the future will cut anyone!" Ma Tianyuan laughed loudly, looking extremely excited.
It is the first time that Zhou Chen and Ma Tianyuan have a sense of power that controls the destiny of countless people.
Of course, this is impossible. Above them, there is a numerical leader who is checking.
Cao Yang asked Meng Xiao to be the leader of war3's numerical planning team, just because his ceiling was higher——
In the future, even if he is not in the war3 project team, he can go to other places to play his mathematical expertise.
Soon, the team of "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" was formed. In addition to the numerical planning team, two system planning and one copywriting planning were also transferred from the Three Kingdoms online next door.
War3 has no master plan, because Meng Xiao is a newcomer, it is impossible for a newcomer to give the title as soon as he comes up. You have to take a while to see how he performs. After a successful project, he can be promoted justifiably.
This is the so-called delegating power before giving the job.
Cao Yang himself has the title of game master planner. If Meng Xiao has any questions, he can directly contact him.
In this way, Liu Guangran is more at ease, otherwise it would be impossible to convince the crowd if he had never done anything before.
In about November, the acceptance of "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" is progressing very quickly.
When it was delivered by Blizzard, there were no major problems. They basically completed the functional development. What they need to do is numerical adjustment and unknown bug debugging.
Since this month, the students in the test group have been working overtime to run the game.
Even if they don't run, Zhou Chen and Ma Tianyuan have to run dozens of times every day, because they have to constantly adjust the game value, how to adjust? It is through continuous actual combat, testing each race, subtle to the collision and movement of each model, as well as the change of each attribute...
In mid-November, Boss Cao recruited Liu Guangran into the office.
Liu Guangran feels sad. Generally, there is no good news when called to the boss's office. This has become Bomi's rule.
Boss Cao called someone to the office, there are only two situations-
One is that there are major adjustments or important things to do.
The other thing is, you can already leave.
Liu Guangran has been with Cao Yang for so long, doing everything he can, so it is unlikely that it will be the latter.
But the former is not much better. When the boss has a new idea, it means that the programmers are going to suffer.
But it is not without benefits. Every time the boss's new idea is implemented, Bomi's technology can advance by a large margin and at the same time create a new game field.
Now I don't know what Boss Cao is going to do.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Guangran entered the office, Cao Yang said straightforwardly, “This time war3 is on sale, I want to tie it to the company's Aier game platform.”
"what?!"
As soon as this remark came out, Liu Guangran felt that his whole person was going crazy.
"Boss, your need sounds like only one sentence, but do you know how big the changes are?"
"Binding war3 to the game platform means that many of the underlying networking protocols need to be rewritten. There is no such thing as a month or two that can't be taken down!"
Just a day ago, the company was still in a fierce debate about whether "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" should be released in Chinese.
The matter has not yet reached a final conclusion, today the boss released a blockbuster——
Binding war3 to the Aier game platform, what do you think?
