The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 204 202. Poor NetEase

  In short, the outside world is not very optimistic about Bomi, if they really want to send "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne".

  The industry is also not optimistic.

  So the information circulating on the Internet is--

  【If there is no Blizzard, then it would be a disaster if war3 is sold by Bomi. 】

   "So angry."

  Seeing the newspaper reports outside and the comments of netizens on the Internet, the little secretary pouted and felt very angry.

   "Why are we inferior to Blizzard?"

   "Why are we nothing after Blizzard?"

  The more I look at it, the more angry, although she doesn't appreciate her boss's big talk, but as a member of Bomi, Zhuang Yurou still doesn't want others to slander the company, especially the professionalism of the game.

  Because the little secretary thinks that although the boss is usually careless and bragging, he is still very pragmatic when doing things. Besides, there are so many powerful employees in the company, how could they lose?

  You need to know the X engine developed by the company itself, but even foreign media are rushing to report it. It is said that it is at least 3 years ahead of the time.

  How can we cause war3 release to be a disaster because there is no Blizzard?

  This is too alarmist, right?

  Zhuang Yurou turned her head and found that the boss was slowly eating his soy milk fritters.

  "Boss, why are you so calm?" The little secretary didn't quite understand, "It seems that every time Bomi gets scolded, it has nothing to do with you."

   Cao Yang was stunned for a moment, but did not bite the deep-fried dough stick that was brought to his mouth.

   "Otherwise? Am I still awake because of being questioned?" Boss Cao thought quite openly.

  But the little secretary really couldn't sleep.

  This is probably called the emperor’s emergency.

  As the assistant to the general manager next to the boss, the little secretary is more concerned about the company’s reputation than he does.

   "Moreover, this is not a bad thing either." Cao Yang said with a smile.

"what?!"

  Zhuang Yurou frowned, feeling a little unbearable to look straight.

   But thinking about it carefully, it seems to be right. Every time this kind of Bomi is questioned and vilified, and Boss Cao is abused, he always acts as a non-extraordinary enjoyment.

   "Oh, I see, this is called reverse marketing, hype, right?"

  Cao Yang smiled, it seems that the little secretary has grown a lot recently.

  He finished the soy milk in the cup, took a paper towel from the side, wiped his mouth, and then made a contented hiccup.

   "In this way, you call sister Hua, I have important things to discuss with her."

   "Good boss." Zhuang Yurou nodded, stood up and opened the door and walked out.

  In less than a while, the door of Cao Yang's office was pushed open.

  A slightly fat young woman in her 30s walked in.

  Bi Yanhua looked at Cao Yang, "Boss, are you looking for me?"

"sit."

   Cao Yang smiled and raised his hand, motioning sister Hua to sit down.

  Bi Yanhua is the head of the entire Bomi company HR department, and the position is the general manager of the personnel department.

  Generally, the boss of Cao finds the personnel manager, basically there is only one thing.

   "What kind of person do you want to recruit this time?" Sister Hua took out the notebook she carried and put it on the table, ready to listen to the boss's instructions.

  "We need to recruit a few core value plans to adjust the balance of the war3 game. Sister Hua, when you recruit people this time, talk to your colleagues in the website department and let them put the recruitment needs on the official website."

   "Huh?" Sister Hua was taken aback, and put the job advertisement on the official website. This was the first time since the company was founded.

"Why not directly dig people? First, our company's HR team is already quite large," said Sister Hua, "Since the last time "Shan Hai Jing" expanded the 400-person team, we have almost digged all the HR of the original major game companies. I came over, and now I have a list of 80% of the game developers in my hand. Wouldn’t it be better for them to dig?

   is precise and fast. "

  In fact, as Sister Hua said, Bomi now has HR from major game companies, and it can be said that the talent pool is quite complete.

  This is also set by Cao Yang before——

  The strategy of digging HR first.

  This strategy is really ruthless. In order to form the "Shan Hai Jing" team, basically all major game manufacturers have been paid.

  Now Bomi is growing, but other colleagues have paid a heavy price.

  Make the game talents on the market soar, and the price has increased by at least 50%.

  The profits of game companies have become thinner. The bosses of countless manufacturers have cursed Boss Cao for having no **** in giving birth to a son without sleeping at night.

  Fortunately, Cao Yang gave birth to a daughter, still a beautiful daughter.

   "Well... Sister Hua, you may not know it well," Cao Yang thought for a while and said, "The talent we want this time may not have been born in the current game companies.

  But you still have to dig it together. If you encounter a talent with a suitable game company, send me your resume, and then post the recruitment on the website, and recruit people according to the conditions I said. "

  Previous NetEase made a moba game called "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms". It was developed in 11 years. If some of that can be developed in advance in 2003, there may be talents that Cao Yang wants in it.

  The problem is that this is impossible. The original team of Heroes of the Three Kingdoms has planned so many plans that they have not even graduated from high school.

  So Cao Yang can only relax the requirements and define the goal more broadly.

   "Hey? Is this game such an exaggeration?" Sister Hua chuckled in her heart.

   Boss Cao is too exaggerated?

   "Sister Hua, please record my personnel requirements."

   "Oh, good." Sister Hua nodded, quickly took out the small notebook she carried with her, and took notes seriously.

  "First, be proficient in one of the following games:

  Any one of "StarCraft" or "Warcraft". "

   "Okay." Sister Hua was taking notes.

  "Second, if you have ever played a professional game, especially if you have won an international award, the key is to hire. Even if not, graduated from the mathematics department of major colleges and universities, it is fine to rank high in the mathematics department."

   "Huh?" Sister Hua raised her head questioningly, "Boss, I can understand from the Department of Mathematics, is it really appropriate for this contestant to be a game planner?"

  Cao Yang smiled slightly, "It is suitable, too suitable, other games may not be suitable, but the war3 we are going to do is really inseparable from professional players if we want to adjust the balance."

  In the past life, NetEase had a department called GAC, this department basically brought together the high play of domestic games.

Many of the former Dota professional players joined NetEase's GAC after retiring.

  When NetEase developed the moba game of Heroes of the Three Kingdoms, GK, the captain of the world champion Ehome of Dota, was invited to be the planner of the adjustment value, and the professional player fnty of the League of Legends was also invited to be the planner...

  The reason why these people are asked to adjust the feel and balance is because this type of game is very special, and it is difficult to adjust it particularly if the general planner cannot play such a high level.

Since the birth of competitive games, it has been more than just a numerical design game. It is like a piano to a musician. If you want to adjust the pitch of a piano, in addition to using professional equipment, you also You have to use a very good tuner.

  These professional players are the tuner of competitive games.

   For example, in the dota game, in the numerical planning and calculation, I feel that there is no problem in increasing the agility attribute growth of this hero by 0.1, but for professional players, this feeling is very obvious.

  Even if you only need to speed up the original hero's shot by 0.05 seconds, ordinary players may not feel it, but for professional players, this 0.05 second is a gap, which can completely break the gap between opponents.

Competitive games are the only games that cannot completely calculate the value of the planned game through numerical calculations. Maybe the laws of mathematics can only constrain and plan some of the existing laws and rhythms in the game, such as the most well-known money growth curve in the League of Legends. ...

   is also known as the snowball effect in the industry.

  However, the specific numerical adjustment must rely on the very keen perception ability of talented players.

  So many times, you will find that competitive games are discrete mathematical distributions within the framework of a numerical system.

  Even Blizzard, their numerical adjustments are basically manually adjusted in accordance with the laws of mathematics.

  ……

   "By the way, Sister Hua, I will give you a list later," Cao Yang said, "If you see someone on this list, please report it to me as soon as possible."

   "Okay." Sister Hua nodded, taking down Boss Cao's request one by one.

  According to Cao Yang's idea, the best person to adjust the value of war3 is of course the best war3 player in the past life.

  For example, Renhuang Sky, one person plays Taliu to the top. He was the first man in China to win the WCG championship. He created an era with his own hands. His self-struggle has touched countless players. This young man named Li Xiaofeng, the eternal King Sky.

  The most powerful thing about him is that his opponent knows what he will do next, but he can’t do anything about it.

  Tower Demon infi, once considered the successor of Sky, won the WCG championship in 2009, and crazy tower building is his game style. After Blizzard weakened the tower, infi said a very humorous sentence. It is because the tower is weaker now that I want to put more towers.

  Beastmaster FLY100%, a very tough orc player, with world-class operational awareness, often turn decadence into magic in adversity. He once said that no matter what game it is, I must win a WCG championship in my life.

  Chinese ghost king ted, the only player in WCG history to win the championship by virtue of the undead. His glorious era is already in the late stage of WCG. When he first came into contact with War3 in 2005, Renhuang sky had already stood at the top of WCG. But every Chinese player familiar with War3 does not know the name of the ghost king ted.

  Hill Fury Th000, the last legend in the decline of war3, relying on courageous play and extraordinary imagination, he defeated the moon demon on wcg and won the wcg championship, a very amazing legend.

Magicyang, the master of tactics, many war3 tactics were pioneered by Magicyang. Before Renhuangsky, the only Chinese player that Koreans knew was Magicyang. He was a pioneer of the older generation of e-sports players. .

  ... Among these people, except for Lao Yang and Sky, everyone else is underage.

  So in the list that Cao Yang gave to Sister Hua, the only players who played war3 were Lao Yang (Magicyang) and Sky. Otherwise, recruiting other people would be equivalent to hiring child labor, which would not be very good.

  Now that the Frozen Throne has not been released, it is still pinched in Bomi's hands. The game that can be played on the market is the version of "Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos".

  However, for professional players who can play this version very well, there is definitely no problem in adjusting the balance of the Frozen Throne.

  ……

   "That's right," Sister Hua asked Cao Yang after recording it, "Then what is the approximate salary range we will give for this position?"

   "Well...Well, you must give a tempting salary." Cao Yang thought for a while, "You can give it according to the highest salary in the industry."

  Now in 2003, the highest price that domestic numerical planning can give is the price of 10,000 yuan a month when Bomi was previously recruiting developers for "Shan Hai Jing".

  You need to know that this is still in 2003, and it is quite terrible to be able to give this price.

  In this year, many top planners in the game are still holding wages of less than 5,000 yuan a month.

  The monthly salary of 10,000 in 2003 is equivalent to 100,000 in 20 years.

  So when Cao Yang offered this price, even Sister Hua was taken aback.

   "Otherwise, let me write it like this, with a monthly salary of 5k-1w, and the specifics are negotiable." Bi Yanhua said, "There is more flexibility in this way."

   "Well, just do as you say."

  The place to save money is to save, although it does not matter to Mr. Cao.

  ……

  After the official recruitment information was issued, the game that Bomi is about to release is basically ready to be released, and it is no different from playing a bright card.

  【Fuck! Sure enough, I was right! The game that Bomi is going to release is the next version of Warcraft 3. 】

  【It’s amazing my Bomi, but is it too late to hold the Buddha's feet? At this time, what does Bomi think about recruiting value planning? Why not prepare earlier? 】

   [I don’t understand it very well, isn’t Bomi’s previous numerical planning work? Why do you need to re-enroll numerical planning? Is it someone who looks down on Xishanju or what? 】

  【Do you look down on my Grand Audition or look down on my Big Three Online? I think the numerical planning of these games is pretty good. There shouldn't be any big problems with the new expansion of war3, right? 】

  【Wow! A monthly salary of 5,000 to 10,000, this salary is also great, right? Super tempting, I really want to apply. 】

  【I also think, the key is that others don’t want it. 】

  [This Nima...Bomi’s recruitment conditions seem to be nothing, but I think it’s pretty harsh. First of all, you must be proficient in any one of "StarCraft" or "Warcraft", just this one can wipe out 90% of college students.

  Then either a professional player or a top student in the mathematics department. Either of these two items can screen suitable candidates to only ten digits.

  Although the conditions are very good, it is not accessible to ordinary people! 】

  [I don’t understand, if I play the game well, I’ll apply for a job. 】

  【Study math well is fine, Gan! Is the threshold for games so high now? There is a reason why your mother asked you to learn mathematics well when you were young! 】

   [Yes, now I understand what it means to "learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and not be afraid to travel all over the world." I want to know that if there is such a day, I should study mathematics hard when I was young. 】

  ……

  Bomi recruits people, the Internet is full of excitement, and countless people are eager to try.

  Compared with the hot comments on the official website, other game companies seem unusually cold.

  As if facing a terrible cold wave.

  Everyone in the entire industry is in danger, and the bosses of major game manufacturers take a breath.

   "Fuck, isn't it? Come again?! Bomi digs from us every time someone recruits, are we their talent pool?"

   "Evil capitalism, ugly face. The point is that you still have nothing to do with him!"

   "Too damning, isn't it?"

   "Boss Cao is so shameless."

   "Cao Yang, this bastard, the last time we dug so many people was not enough, now we are dug again?"

   "We have all become sewers."

   "You said the opposite? Shouldn't the sewer be what we don't need to pick up Bomi? Now it is obviously that we are giving Bomi a blood transfusion."

   "No, you think too much. Blood transfusion means that we have blood for transfusion. At best, we are a raw material production base. Bomi is a manufacturer of processed products. What is the difference of the scissors? This is called the difference of the scissors!"

  "……"

   But there is a very strange psychology in it——

  I don’t know if it is good or bad when I am fancyed by Bomi.

  Said it is a good thing, right? It happened that the talent was poached away.

   Say it's a bad thing, right? But if people don't dig you, you don't think you have any face. This shows that the talents cultivated by this game manufacturer are not good enough. On the other hand, the boss doesn't know people well.

  So the best result is -

  Bomi came to dig people, but the talents insisted on staying and sharing the honor and disgrace with the company. This reflects the value of the company and the benevolence of the boss.

  Unfortunately, there seems to be no such thing except Dachang.

  ……

   Soon after Bomi released the job advertisement, there was another little thing in the industry——

  NetEase announced the dissolution of the game division, Ding Sanshi withdrew from the game stage.

  The colleagues in the Game Division looked at a loss, not knowing where the road is.

  ……

  The turmoil of NetEase has caused people to connect their personnel with Bomi.

  Because NetEase has never released any game, but many people in the industry are still optimistic about their research and development capabilities.

  Especially the mainstays of Dingdong and Yunfeng are highly regarded.

  Before the game division was disbanded, many people believed that NetEase would be able to break out sooner or later as long as it persisted.

  It’s just...

  It is a pity that Ding Sanshi did not bear the blow of fate, and finally disbanded the online game division in desperation.

  Countless people outside are speculating--

  At this time, Bomi is going to recruit people for "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne".

  Is it possible for Bomi to recruit members of NetEase to make "Warcraft 3"?

  ……
