This is exactly what he wanted. If he can't design a game, surely he can play one?
Even if you've never eaten pork, haven't you at least seen a pig run?
Then Zhang Long nitpicked and found fault with it.
Ten days later, PUBG version 1.0 was finally released.
Zhang Long and Hu Xinxin, the two game testers, praised the game highly.
The core gameplay is already perfect; the only drawback is the skins, which the developers value highly. Since it's a free-to-play game, skins are the game's main money-making tool.
This is something that Brandon Green, a foreigner, can't handle.
Do you really expect this group of programmers to have the same aesthetic sense as professional graphic designers?
Let's not make things difficult for them; let the professionals handle it.
Another development team has also done a very good job with their platform; after all, copying others' work is something Chinese people excel at.
The existing CSGO tutorials are right there. If they can't even copy them properly, then what's the point of Zhang Long having them?
With a few minor modifications, it was adapted for PUBG; all that's needed later is to integrate the platform.
The last and most important thing is the treasure chest, which he and the company's core creative team discussed for a long time.
In the end, it was Zhang Long who made the decision: if we're going to do it, let's do it big. He directly adopted the system from his previous life's Peace Elite and started dividing the game into ranks.
Bronze (0-500 points), Silver (501-1000 points), Gold (1001-1500 points), Platinum (1501-2000 points).
This stage is what distinguishes beginners from experienced users.
Immortal Diamond 2001-2500 points, Glory Crown 2501-3000 points, Super Ace 3000-?
At the Super Ace level, you gain one star for every 200 points you score. After reaching Super Ace, the top players on the server automatically advance to the Invincible God of War rank.
Players at each rank will automatically receive a treasure chest corresponding to their rank on the game's results screen, based on their match data.
The winning team has a certain chance of obtaining a higher-level treasure chest.
However, opening the treasure chest requires a corresponding key, which is how the official company makes money.
The keys are also divided into eight levels: 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20.
The game has a gifting system, but gifted items cannot be traded.
This is to prevent players who want to exploit game loopholes by not trading on the platform, because the official platform will take a portion of the revenue from transactions.
PUBG has been updated to version 1.13, and Zhang Long needs to get ready.
He wasn't going to keep this huge pie to himself; he wanted to use this opportunity to bring more valuable people onto his warship.
First of all, game licenses in China are not easy to obtain, so he doesn't need his girlfriend's family connections to handle such a small matter.
Secondly, if you want to make PUBG a big and successful game, Tencent is an insurmountable hurdle in China.
After all, anyone would be afraid of the Sharingan tactic.
Therefore, the shares of this game company must be distributed. Only when those shareholders taste the benefits will they be willing to help you overcome those difficulties. Sometimes, suffering losses is not necessarily a bad thing.
As for the shareholders, they are naturally the second generation of government officials.
Not every family has enough political resources to allow every child to enter the system. They also need to maintain a network of connections to reserve room for advancement for their outstanding descendants.
Thus, this group of idle second-generation heirs came into being; in fact, they were also sacrificing for their families.
Therefore, people often turn a blind eye to things that aren't too outrageous.
Although these people usually have a lot of pocket money, their spending habits are generally quite ordinary.
Is it that they don't want to?
This gave Zhang Long a lot of room to maneuver, and both sides got what they wanted, which was perfect.
Zhang Long doesn't need their connections to do anything illegal or disorderly; he's just borrowing their influence to show off.
As for the shares, that's even simpler. Because of the change in nationality, this new Bluehole company is penniless, and the game hasn't been listed yet. The valuation is just a matter of Zhang Long's word.
He's just providing a channel for friends he gets along with, like buying stocks. Who the hell knows this stock will skyrocket!
Soon, Zhang Long and his girlfriend Xin Xin picked up the shareholders that Hu Chao had carefully selected at the airport.
That's right, he assigned this task to his girlfriend's third brother. Since he had that connection, he figured he might as well use it.
Upon seeing Hu Chao lead his team out of the hall, Zhang Long immediately went up and gave him a big hug.
At this moment, Hu Chao whispered in his ear, "The people I picked for you this time are all Xin Xin's childhood friends, so you can use them without worry. They are all quite reliable."
"If there's a conflict, don't say anything, let Xin Xin deal with them!"
Zhang Long watched as his girlfriend skillfully went up to greet these people, and it was clear that their relationship was quite good.
There were 27 people in total, including both men and women, with only 9 girls. They all looked like the kind of unruly people, but they were all very well-behaved in front of Hu Xinxin.
No wonder Hu Chao said that.
Hu Chao gathered this group of people using his sister's name without explaining the specifics of the matter, so they were kept in the dark.
He certainly wouldn't blame Hu Chao, because it was indeed a very difficult situation.
If someone from a similar family background wants to invest in Zhang Long's company, but they definitely don't like it because of one or two things, would you give it to them or not?
If we give it to them, we'll offend a large group of shareholders; if we don't, we'll offend this person.
In many cases, these people are incompetent at getting things done, but they are first-rate at sabotaging others.
There are many people like this in reality.
Inside a private club in Shanghai.
"Big sister, where did your brother-in-law go? He's being so secretive."
A young man, also in his early twenties, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, spoke in a nonchalant manner.
Hu Xinxin glanced at him, exhaled a smoke ring, and said, "Xiao Wu, I called you here because I have something good to tell you."
"What good thing is it? Don't do it like what Chao did. I don't have that kind of patience. You know me, Boss."
"Making money is possible, but it's incredibly tiring."
"It's much easier for me to just register my name at another company and make money faster!"
Hu Xinxin said with some disdain, "Then would you dare to take it out and spend it openly?"
Xiao Wu was also speechless. Well, he was too hasty!
However, Hu Xinxin soon gave him a sweet treat.
"Don't worry, your brother-in-law has started a game company. You'll see when you try it out later. Just like when you go to those project companies, you can quietly be a shareholder."
