Rebirth 08: Can a mobile game company also build a tech empire?

I've figured it all out.

Everyone spoke up one after another:

"Boss, I support you!"

"right!"

"We want to let domestic players play our games too!"

Seeing that everyone had finally regained their fighting spirit, Lu Chen silently breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Lu, have you decided what kind of MP4 you want to make?"

Having accepted reality, Wu Zhixuan is most concerned about the specific manufacturing plan.

In response to Wu Zhixuan's question, Lu Chen thought for a moment before saying:

I named our MP4 player "Zhengtu Z1".

It will be fully benchmarked against the iPod touch in all aspects.

For example, using capacitive touchscreens, lithium batteries, and other technologies.

We strive to achieve the best quality currently available in China!

"Isn't this... a bit too much to ask?"

Wu Zhixuan said.

"No!" Lu Chen slammed his hand on the table. "If we're going to do it, let's do it the best!"

Perhaps it was Lu Chen's imposing presence that stunned everyone present.

Everyone opened their mouths, but no words came out.

Lu Chen tapped the table to get everyone's attention.

"Everyone!"

The problem is there; we just need to overcome it!

Instead of sitting here complaining!

finished,

Lu Chen got up and glanced at the time.

The meeting has been going on for almost two hours.

This was the longest conference in the history of Journey Technology.

Moreover, Lu Chen understood.

They need to take action now, instead of sitting in their offices and talking on paper.

Compared to the game, Lu Chen explained it in detail, and everyone could understand.

However, when it comes to new areas, none of you here are professionals.

Lu Chen can no longer just make empty promises.

One can only gradually explain one's ideas through practice.

Therefore, Lu Chen stopped worrying about what everyone thought and said directly:

Let me summarize today's meeting.

In the next two months,

We need to develop a new game called Plants vs. Zombies.

And a brand new MP4 player, the Conqueror Z1!

Upon seeing this scene,

Since Boss Lu is determined to do it.

The crowd was willing to risk their lives to accompany him, not minding risking their lives for him once in a while.

Lu Chen glanced around and continued:

In order to successfully complete the mission

I hereby officially appoint Jiang Chang as the development team leader for Plants vs. Zombies!

He will lead you through the game's development!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chang froze on the spot.

The appointment was announced without any warning.

So I got promoted?

Jiang Chang was then overjoyed.

But this contrasts with Jiang Chang's joy.

Wu Zhixuan was not in a good mood.

Although the company has not been established for long, everyone here joined at the same time.

But Lu Chen clearly values ​​him more.

Moreover, he also took the initiative to undertake the task.

The various problems encountered during the game development process.

He also took the initiative to work overtime to coordinate and resolve the issue.

As a result, Lu Chen promoted Jiang Chang.

Wu Zhixuan felt somewhat unbalanced at this moment.

Lu Chen seemed oblivious to Wu Zhixuan's low spirits and continued assigning tasks to Jiang Chang.

"Jiang Chang, you have a very important task ahead of you."

In addition to completing game development work, you also need to...

The game also needs to be compatible with both iOS and Android systems.

Two older games also need to be made into Android versions.

The MP4 will come pre-loaded with three games!

Do you have confidence?!

"have!"

Jiang Chang said firmly.

I just got promoted, so even if I'm not confident, I have to bite the bullet and go for it.

Seeing Jiang Chang's confident demeanor, Lu Chen gave him a heads-up.

"Don't think that on the Android system, it's as simple as just doing a simple adaptation for the game."

"Then what else is needed?"

Jiang Chang scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"Games on Android are designed for domestic players."

Therefore, the game needs to be changed to a free-to-play + paid model.

As for paid items and paid nodes

I will handle it myself!

Lu Chen assigned Jiang Chang tasks one after another.

It was only then that Jiang Chang realized the mission was anything but easy.

If we do as Boss Lu asks...

Games on iOS and Android are essentially two completely different games.

Because paid services and in-app purchases seem to be similar.

Their kernels are completely different.

The former is to make the best possible game to attract players to pay to download it.

Game companies only need to care about game sales.

However, the latter still requires further operation by the company.

Continuously update the game and create different game items.

Only then can players be attracted to make in-game purchases.

Therefore, these can be considered two different games.

Jiang Chang needs to complete the development of the new game and the modification of the old game in the next two months.

It's basically like remaking an old game.

The difficulty of it is self-evident.

Fortunately, Boss Lu himself was in charge of designing the most important paid game items.

Otherwise, Jiang Chang would have lost countless brain cells.

"I understand!"

Jiang Chang's momentum isn't as strong as it was before.

He was already making plans in his mind.

How many overtime hours will I have to work in the next two months?

Only then can we complete Boss Lu's task.

After finishing with Jiang Chang's side...

Lu Chen turned his gaze to Wu Zhixuan, who looked dejected.

"As for Lao Wu."

Upon hearing his name called, Wu Zhixuan looked up.

"We're short-staffed right now, but I'll hire a few more people later."

You will work with me to complete the production of the Conquer Online Z1.

If done well

"The MP4 project will be in your hands from now on!"

Wu Zhixuan could hardly believe his ears.

I just thought I was being marginalized.

And now he's assigning himself such an important task.

This is a rollercoaster-like experience.

Wu Zhixuan, who is in his thirties, almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"We will definitely complete the mission!"

Overwhelmed by this huge surprise, Wu Zhixuan immediately pledged his allegiance.

Moreover, Boss Lu himself said so.

They definitely value MP4s far more than games.

If you do it well yourself.

Wouldn't he be able to be given an important position after that?

Thinking of this, Wu Zhixuan's fighting spirit grew even stronger.

Work assignment completed.

The two were full of fighting spirit and couldn't wait to have a big fight.

"Clap clap clap..."

I don't know who was the first to start clapping.

The office erupted in applause.

Congratulations!

"You guys are treating us to dinner tonight!"

Everyone congratulated Wu Zhixuan and Jiang Chang.

The two repeatedly bowed and thanked everyone, promising to treat everyone to dinner that night.

see this scene,

Lu Chen couldn't help but nod.

It seems that sometimes promoting people can help improve employee morale.

Moreover, the company was originally small, with only a handful of employees.

Game projects in the first half of the year were also barely surviving.

Therefore, there is no need to promote anyone.

But now the company is gradually getting back on track, and the number of projects is gradually increasing.

This means things can't be the same as before.

It all relied on Lu Chen as the leader, and his subordinates were all low-level employees.

That would exhaust Lu Chen to death.

Therefore, it is appropriate to promote middle-level leaders and encourage them to take on tasks proactively.

This will not only reduce Lu Chen's workload, but also provide employees with a path for advancement.

This will inspire employees' enthusiasm for their work.

That's killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, Lu Chen was willing to give the two of them the opportunity to train.

As long as the two of them can achieve results.

Lu Chen didn't mind continuing to rely on them.

Perhaps in the near future.

As the company's business grew, it reached the point of needing to be split up.

Fortunately, Wu Zhixuan and Jiang Chang are both capable of handling things on their own.

They may become leaders of a subsidiary company at that time.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say."

Meeting adjourned!

Lu Chen waved his hand and announced the end of the meeting.

With anticipation in their hearts, everyone threw themselves into the intense work.
