In the spacious office, Liang Shichu, who was sitting in the front, was giving a speech in a meeting.
There weren't many people in the small conference room, only about twenty, but at this moment everyone was sitting upright, and no one dared to whisper.
The reason was naturally the young man sitting on Liang Shichu's right.
Although this young man seldom came to the company before, all employees in the company have heard of this young man.
His name is Chen Fan.
놛 is the boss behind this company놅.
We have just established this game studio, and it was under the order of this boss that we started it.
Part of this group of employees in particular looked at Chen Fan with even more complicated and weird expressions.
Because they all came from Han Zijun's company.
Several of us met Chen Fan once last year.
At that time, Han Zijun wanted to invite Chen Fan to invest money, but Chen Fan refused and frankly said that he was not optimistic about their project.
As a result, in just one year, who would have thought that Han Zijun's project would really fail.
And this young man casually founded this extraordinary technology company.
The new product Extraordinary Antivirus has surpassed all other antivirus software on the market.
To say that he was making a fortune every day was no exaggeration.
Especially the person who was talking on the opposite side, Liang Shichu, was a programmer in Han Zijun's company just like them.
As a result, he suddenly became the boss of the family.
Well, this is opportunity.
The young man in the room sighed.
The employees were observing Chen Fan, and Liang Shichu was also observing Chen Fan while he was speaking.
I noticed that Chen Fan seemed to be the same as usual today.
Although Chen Fan is usually very easy-going, he rarely gets distracted.
But Chen Fan was obviously distracted during the meeting. He often looked at his phone and occasionally sent a few messages.
The most important thing is that this guy's mouth never closed from the beginning.
What happened? Why is the boss so nice?
Although he was curious, Liang Shichu did not dare to ask.
After honestly reporting the situation in the finished room, he stopped talking and turned his gaze to Chen Fan.
"That's the current situation in the studio."
Only then did Chen Fan put away his phone and nodded.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Then he looked at the twenty or so employees in front of him.
"First of all, welcome everyone to join this game studio. Of course, everyone is welcome to join. This game studio also belongs to the Extraordinary Technology Flagship, so the benefits are the same."
"It is certain that in the future, the salary of the company will exceed that of its employees..."
"There are not so many rules and regulations when working in this company. I only have one requirement. As long as you create enough value for the company, the company will build a sufficient stage for you and give you a satisfactory salary package."
Chen Fan drew a picture of a cake for the family with a smile, but the employees at the bottom did not laugh in unison.
"What are the results of your meetings these days?"
Liang Shichu said, "It's like this. We held two meetings and discussed the more popular games on the market. In the end, we all agreed that if we develop online games, there is still some opportunity. But if we develop stand-alone games..."
Liang Shichu smiled bitterly, "Everyone is optimistic about the current domestic stand-alone market."
Chen Fan looked at the others: "Does everyone think so?"
"You can express your own opinions and tell us what you think."
After two seconds of silence, he finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"I think the domestic market currently does not have a suitable environment for single-player games to survive. To put it bluntly, the most difficult issues in production, distribution, and promotion will be the bottleneck for single-player games."
"Currently, many single-player game companies are basically losing money to gain publicity."
"If we really develop a stand-alone game, it is very likely that the final result will be a loss of blood but sufficient gains."
As soon as this employee started speaking, other employees also started speaking.
Who wants to leave a good impression in front of the boss? If what you say makes the boss think you are good, then you are finished.
So Chen Fan was a little surprised when he saw a group of people vying to speak.
Are you saying that programmers are all a bunch of silent and sullen men? Why do you all say that?
After waiting for the assistant to finish speaking, Chen Fan took over the topic.
"I counted and found that thirteen people spoke, and ten of them suggested developing a stand-alone game."
"It seems that you are really optimistic about the stand-alone game market."
"Let me tell you what I think."
Chen Fan put down the pen in his hand and said, "I would like to ask you a few questions first."
"First, have you ever played stand-alone games? Raise your hand if you have played stand-alone games."
No one raised their hand.
"Okay. Second question, do you think there are any fun and high-quality stand-alone games in the country? If you think there are none, please raise your hand."
Still no one raised their hand.
"Okay. Since everyone thinks that there are still some good stand-alone games in China, why don't the manufacturers make money?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "The biggest reason is naturally the domestic game market environment. Of course, there are also factors such as rampant counterfeiting, sound laws, and marketing costs."
"Then I want to ask, if there is such a game, the quality is good, the gameplay is attractive, and we solve the problems of promotion and copycat, do you think it can make money?"
After hearing what Chen Fan said, everyone looked at each other.
In fact, everyone has the same idea, that is, no matter how powerful you are, you can solve these problems.
Especially the problem of copycats, how can we solve it when so many game manufacturers can't solve it?
In the end, Liang Shichu tactfully expressed his family's thoughts.
Chen Fan smiled.
"Just treat this as something I'm just saying. For the studio's first game, I ask you to focus on making money and start by developing the simplest single-player game."
Liang Shichu asked Chen Fan about this first game and he had no idea.
Chen Fan grinned: "I do have some ideas."
"I was born in the countryside. At that time, black-and-white TVs were very popular in rural families, but they basically only had one channel, so we kids spent most of our time playing around in the village."
"When I was a kid, my favorite game with my friends was shooting, or we say shooting the devils."
Chen Fan smiled when he said this: "It's mainly because I was so impressed by the movies I watched when I was a kid, Tunnel Warfare, Shining Red Star, Landmine Warfare... They made my blood boil, and I wanted to rush into the movie and beat up a few Japanese devils with my own hands..."
These words made all the employees present smile.
Regardless of the age difference between the two families, Chen Fan said that they had basically experienced these things when they were children.
After everyone had almost stopped laughing, Chen Fan spoke again.
"So for this first game, let's develop a simple game of beating the devils. It fulfilled a dream I had when I was a kid."
"I don't pursue how much money I can make from this game. I just treat it as a training exercise for you."
Upon hearing this, a group of employees breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little helpless.
It was to fulfill a dream.
Fight the devils stand-alone game?
Is this nonsense?
