Game Dynasty

Chapter 106 Strategic Shift

The National Day has just passed, and Ai Tong, together with the cameraman that day, joined You's newly established and renamed Media Department Propaganda Department, which always reminds people of the state machine or the student union...

Except for the first day of the new establishment, when all the big bosses of You gathered in this new department full of beauties, in the future, how to carry out the work is not Liu Xiang's concern. 【】You’s no1 has always only put forward planning projects and suggestions, but there are naturally people who worry about the implementation.What's more, even if Liu Xiang wants to worry about this, he still has more than enough energy. The distance between Liu Xiang and traditional media is two parallel lines that never intersect.

However, at the first meeting of the media department, Liu Xiang seriously stated a point of view: You, no one is allowed to use any so-called unspoken rules to conduct business.Likewise, no one is allowed to create unspoken rules.

This sentence, after the new department members were stunned for a moment, they all applauded for several minutes!Especially Ai Tong and the sisters who joined the new department with Ai Tong, these beautiful and capable girls are all strong women who do not bow to unspoken rules.

……

After finishing these things, Liu Xiang could finally sit down and conduct market analysis.

One thing that needs to be explained is that with the gradual increase of his influence, Liu Xiang's feeling of powerlessness is also growing.

It's very simple, the butterfly effect has become bigger and bigger in the field where Liu Xiang is involved, and it is getting more and more out of Liu Xiang's grasp.

For example, now, although You are still the leader in the entire country's game industry, and its market share is firmly above 50.00%, but Liu Xiang knows that these are mainly based on the agency of You.However, too many uncertain factors make Liu Xiang full of worries about the future. For example, Liu Xiang has always believed that the elves who are bound to fall down the street, in the latest quarterly analysis of the market share, unexpectedly reached as many as 53% of the entire market!For the several games you played, Miracle has the lowest market share, barely reaching 9. This means that China's road to originality is still full of bumps.

And Yi's elves and Westward Journey 2 accounted for 72, which also made Yi become another successful operator after Jiyou. Although compared with You's share, Yi's proportion is not satisfactory, but compared Compared with other half-dead games, under the halo of You, Yi's achievements are already enough to be proud of.

What's more, during the National Day period, Yi represented another game called "Tiansha" and it was scheduled to be tested in March 2003. Liu Xiang clearly remembered that "Tiansha" was operated by a Beijing-based company called Huahuitong. Proxy.

In addition, 9 represented "Bubble Hall", Hua Yi represented "Knight" which should be represented by Sohu, and Sohu represented "Magic Sword" which should have been represented by Tianren Interactive. An operating company called Tianluo was born out of nowhere. Represented "ro"...

These situations that completely conflict with Liu Xiang's memory all point to a problem, that is the butterfly effect.

Rubbing his brows, Liu Xiang felt a headache as he waited until March next year for the test schedule. If I remember well, Jinshan will also release the promotion of "Swordsman Love OL" with great fanfare, right?

The above games are not of the ordinary generation in the era of memory. If the operation method is changed, any game is very likely to become a hit.

More importantly, the anti-cheat and player-oriented behavior standards established by You International in the past year have affected these subsequent companies.Even Youlong Online, which always treats players like grass, has slightly changed its attitude towards Jin Hesan's players...

It can be said that the line and philosophy that Liu Xiang has always adhered to has been gradually accepted and recognized by the operators. If you want to beat the game or get a piece of the game market, you must work hard on the service and the attitude of the game, otherwise... hehe !

This is a good thing for players, and it seems to be getting closer to Liu Xiang's goal.However... the impact on You is getting bigger and bigger.

Especially when some games with big fire elements were proposed to be tested one by one by agents who had mastered the operation method of the game, Liu Xiang felt that besides the pressure, it was pressure.

……

Liu Xiang was about to go upstairs to the development department, just stood up but shook his head and sat down, grabbed the phone and connected to Xi Xiaoding's landline.

"Xiao Ding? How's Meteor?"

"Ah, why did Mr. Liu remember to care about the engine? Don't worry, Tom happened to be drinking coffee at my place." Xi Xiaoding replied jokingly, "Do you want him to talk directly or let me pass it on?"

Tom drinking coffee at Xi Xiaoding's?Liu Xiang sneered and thought he would ask Xi Xiaoding from the side, but this is a good thing, since the master was present just now.

"Forget it, you should convey it, so as not to put pressure on Tom."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm on the speakerphone, Tom, tell Master Liu about the situation."

Unexpectedly, Xi Xiaoding actually used this trick, which made Liu Xiangpo dumbfounded.

On the other end of the phone, Tom's shy voice sounded.

"Liu, now our engine department is going to be divided into two groups. One group is improving according to the original idea, and strives to complete the game production next year. And the other group happens to be discussing with Xiaoding, and I plan to do some engine work. Slightly modified to suit the new game planned by their group."

"Oh, do you still need to allocate personnel?"

"I don't need it for the time being. According to the plan, in the later stage, that is, next year, I may encounter some difficulties in the mechanical model. After all, we are not expert in the war system."

It's the war system again!Liu Xiang frowned.It's really impossible to get Ximutou...

"Well, next year I will find a solution for you. Are there any other difficulties?"

"That's all." Tom seemed relieved, and his tone became cheerful.

Liu Xiang thought for a while, but still couldn't help asking, "Then... can you give me an exact time, well, I mean the time when it can be put on the market."

Hearing that Liu Xiang, who had never urged the engine group, actually asked when the engine would be completed today... Not only Tom, but even Xi Xiaoding next to him couldn't help being surprised.

Before Tom could answer, Xi Xiaoding approached the phone, his tone no longer joking: "I said Lao Liu, what's the matter? Why did you suddenly think about asking about the engine?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, just asking." On the phone, Liu Xiang answered with a smile.

But Xi Xiaoding definitely doesn't think so.But because of Tom's presence, Xi Xiaoding also gave up asking.

"Liu, if you don't take responsibility, the engine can be used to make games now. But I think our engine must be the best! To meet this, at least it will be in April next year." Pause , Tom clenched his fist with some pride, "Next year's e3, our engine will definitely shine!"

……

Although Xi Xiaoding heard Liu Xiang nodding his head laughingly on the phone, Xi Xiaoding was still a little worried. After bidding farewell to Tom, Xi Xiaoding rushed down to the sixth floor.

"Is there any trouble?" Xi Xiaoding sat down on the desk, looked directly at Liu Xiang and asked seriously.

"Well, to be precise, there is no trouble now." Liu Xiang raised his head and smiled, "What's wrong?"

"Go, you have never asked about the engine, why did you suddenly ask today?" Xi Xiaoding smiled disdainfully, "Don't treat everyone as a fool, okay? Mr. Liu."

Seeing Xi Xiaoding's face full of sincerity, Liu Xiang's heart skipped a beat.

Xi Xiaoding, this person who had nothing to do with him before, has become one of the most important friends in Liu Xiang's life after being accidentally tied to a chariot upstream.

For friends, Liu Xiang will not hide.

"Frankly, if you continue like this, the advantage will slowly disappear."

"Although our main game still occupies most of the domestic market, don't forget that the success of any game has its historical reasons, and once the right conditions are met, it is only natural that other games can replace us of."

"You mean, we must have our own game, and this game is absolutely forward?" Xi Xiaoding thought for a while, his eyes lit up, "Or do you want to open up new areas?"

"Yes!" Liu Xiang stood up, "It is to open up a new field!"

"When everyone is flocking to the game market, why do we still have to be the target of public criticism? No one can shake Youyou's reputation and status in the game industry. Even if there are later companies that can surpass us in later performance, but all we have The concept and mode of operation of the industry are not beyond the reach of these companies, which is the status of the founder!"

"Then are you going to enter the stand-alone market now? Or?"

"So I want to ask about the engine." Liu Xiang lightly clenched his fists and said with a smile, "Stand-alone, console, e-sports, anything related to games, we will kick off in 2003!"

"When the domestic market is full of wars, no one knows that our eyes have already set our sights on the overseas market!" Liu Xiang turned his eyes away, and his voice became more leisurely, "This is also one of my dreams."

……

Liu Xiang was right.Just when he decided to expand the game field in an all-round way, successive operators entered the domestic game market one after another.

Among them, the operating company established by a fire line called "Tianluo" performed the most intensely.
