After a round of deception and brainwashing by Chen Xin, Liang Shichu reluctantly accepted the strategy of permanent free service.

It's just that he still doesn't quite understand.

Why does the company want to make games?

The company is currently experiencing a surge in revenue and has very healthy capital.

The boss has actually already started making plans for the next few years.

Is the boss's sense of urgency so strong?

However, Chen was the boss, and although Liang Shichu didn't understand, he didn't object.

"Boss, I'm not wrong about making games, but the development of online games takes a long time and effort. If the online games don't perform well, I'm afraid that several years of hard work will really go down the drain."

Chen 꼎 smiled.

"The newly established game working group doesn't have the strength to develop online games. My idea is to first study a few small stand-alone games to practice."

"In the future, I will try to enter the field of web games and online games. Of course, that is something for the future."

In Chen's plan, as long as the direction is correct, he can make a lot of money by developing a few popular stand-alone or web games in the next few years.

Of course, when we enter the mobile Internet era, mobile games will dominate the world.

"Single player game?"

Liang Shichu's heart sank again.

During this period of time, he has always admired Chen 꼎 very much, because all the plans and predictions Chen 꼎 made for Fei 꼎 Technology were perfectly realized.

But this time, Liang Shichu really couldn't agree with Chen 꼎's idea.

Because everyone knows how bad the current stand-alone game market in China is.

The relevant laws are imperfect, counterfeiting is rampant, and netizens do not approve of it.

They would rather invest several hundred dollars in online game recharge cards than consider buying a single-player game for a few dozen dollars.

To put it bluntly, China currently does not have the genes to make stand-alone games.

After sharing his concerns with Chen 꼎, Liang Shichu even cited the most famous stand-alone game in China, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", as an example.

This game was so popular that it made everyone cry, but it is said that only 800,000 copies were sold. The related copycats sold as many as 30 million copies.

This shows how much damage piracy has done to stand-alone games.

After hearing Liang Shichu's heartfelt advice, Chen 꼎 smiled and nodded.

"You have a point, but I think as long as you are willing to try and find the right method, you can always make money."

Liang Shichu felt helpless, after all, he was the eldest.

Chen 꼎 had already made up his mind to make games, so there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, Chen only promised to set up a small game studio first, and it would not affect the company's current development of non-security guards.

Chen 꼎 suggested that the employees just recruited from Han Zijun could be transferred to the game studio, and then a few more related practitioners could be recruited.

After hearing Chen 꼎's arrangement, Liang Shichu breathed a sigh of relief.

I was just worrying about how to arrange the dozen or so technical personnel who had just joined the company.

As a result, the boss actually helped me think of a solution.

As long as it does not affect the development of Non-꼎 Security Guard, isn't it just setting up a game department? It can be regarded as a test for the boss.

Liang Shichu was very satisfied with Chen's arrangement, so his tone became positive.

"Boss, what if the game department has no development direction for the first game?"

Chen 꼎 smiled and said, "You should set up the framework of the game department first. I will go to the company to hold a meeting and brainstorm to come up with some good ideas."

In fact, Chen 꼎 already had an idea of ​​a game in mind.

"Bloody Battle on the Beach".

Almost everyone who is of Chen's generation and has secretly visited illegal Internet cafes during school years knows about this game.

The game has a simple painting style, a fragmented plot, and the operation is even simpler. Players only need to operate the mouse and pull the trigger to shoot the Japanese.

However, once this game was released, it sold more than 4,500 copies in just a few days, which is a miracle in the industry.

However, just when everyone was expecting a miracle, the game also encountered the most common problem of that era - being targeted by pirates.

Within a few days, pirated CDs of "Blood Battle on the Beach" were already everywhere in the market.

Chen 꼎 can confirm that what he played in the Internet cafe at the time were pirated discs.

Although this game did not create a sales myth, it has to be said that it left an indelible impression on Chen's generation of young people.

Chen 꼎 remembers that "Blood Battle on the 껗 Beach" was produced in 껗 City in 2003.

I still have a chance.

Moreover, if you were to develop this game yourself, the graphics and plot could be further improved, and Chen was confident that some methods could be used to reduce piracy.

Of course, Chen Ruo did not tell Liang Shichu about this for the time being.

Let's wait until the game studio is established first.

…

Before the summer exams, Chen finally finished writing the script.

I called Wen Wan first, but the phone was still turned off.

It seems that Wenwan still hasn't made any money these days.

Chen shook his head and went to the campus business office before leaving to top up Wen Wan's cell phone card with 100 yuan.

Then he called the other party.

"You topped up my phone bill?"

Wen Wan was a little surprised, and she immediately responded as soon as she answered Chen's call.

Chen smiled bitterly: "I want to meet you, but I don't know where you live, so I have to find a way to contact you."

Wen Wan: "Do you want to ask me something? I'm looking for a job recently."

Chen 꼎: "Do you have time? Let's meet and talk."

Wenwan thought about it and agreed.

The meeting place was not far from where Wenwan lived.

I haven't seen her for a few days. Wenwan looks a little tired. It seems that she is really exhausted by work.

"Haven't you found a job yet?" Chen 꼎 asked directly.

Wenwan was a little embarrassed and shook her head.

"Now it seems that it is not so easy to find a job that I am satisfied with."

"Looking for a place to sit?"

Wen Wan hesitated for a moment, "What do you want to ask me?"

Chen 꼎 smiled: "Isn't it possible that I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"

After saying this, seeing that Wen Wan's expression was not natural, Chen 꼎 quickly coughed dryly.

"There is something I want to talk to you about."

Wen Wan hesitated and said, "How about... go to where I live and sit down?"

Chen 꼎 shook his head: "Is it far from here?"

Wenwan turned around and pointed in a direction.

“It’s in the neighborhood ahead.”

Chen 꼎 thought about it and shook his head, "Forget it. Let's just find a place nearby."

Wen Wan did not insist, and finally Chen Rou found a fast food restaurant and the two of them went in and sat down.

Wen Wan raised her hand to tuck her hair and asked curiously, "What do you want from me?"

"It's like this..."

Chen 꼎 paused for a moment and organized his words in his mind.

"Aren't you looking for a job recently? I thought about it and I guess you wouldn't be interested in ordinary jobs..."

Wen Wan smiled bitterly: "Why do you have so many requirements? I really want to be a waiter now."

Chen 꼎 quickly smiled and continued, "I remember you told me before that you studied directing and screenwriting, and you also worked as an actor."

"So I have an idea, I wonder if you'd like it."

"I think you should continue to work in this field."

Wen Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Now I can't even get a temporary job in a bar, let alone a job in the entertainment industry."

Chen 꼎 smiled mysteriously: "So that's why I came to see you."

"Since I'm here, I can naturally help you find a job."

The gentle expression on the opposite side changed, and there was obviously some surprise in her eyes.

"real?"
