Chapter 206 204. What?! Do you want to bind war3 to the game platform?!

Led by Ding Yingfeng, Bomi soon accepted the entire NetEase game department and established [Journey to the West Studio], which is known as Bomi's three major game studios, along with the original [King Studio] and [Guo Style Studio].

There should actually be a fourth studio, called [Competitive Studio] or [Challenge Studio], but unfortunately, so far, no suitable plan has been found to take over.

Sister Hua was stunned when she heard about this.

"Boss, don't you want to recruit a numerical planner to tune the numerical value for Warcraft 3? Why did you finally set up a new department?"

"Hey, I don't think about it either. The plan cannot keep up with the changes."

Cao Yang also considered whether to let Ding Yingfeng be the main planner of war3 and then adjust the value.

Later, after thinking about it carefully, I just forgot it. Ding Yingfeng's expertise is not on this, so it is really a bit inappropriate to ask him to adjust the value of war3.

The same is true. Ordinary players do not have the sensitivity of professional players to numerical values ​​and feel. It is okay to make a numerical framework, but there is actually a problem with having to adjust it carefully.

So Cao Yang still wants to find professional war3 players or interstellar players to do this.

...

Boss Cao almost swallowed up NetEase Games Business Department, except for a person named Xu Bo.

Logically speaking, Xu Bo's performance in his previous life was so brilliant that his achievements in the two games of Fantasy and Dahua can be said to be unrivaled. Even a famous website introduced the game's article "Fantasy Westward Journey Cold Knowledge Special Issue", there is a saying, "A unplanned product initiated by customer service personnel."

The "customer service staff" here refers to Xu Bo, but-

Xu Bo and Ding Yingfeng received completely different treatments from Boss Cao.

Boss Cao never thought about asking him, so he didn't even have an interview.

For this reason, Ding Yingfeng also specially found Cao Yang to inquire, "Xu Bo is a very talented young man, why does Mr. Cao refuse to give him a chance?"

In response, Cao Yang only answered a few words—

"There is no reason, I just don't like it very much." Cao Yang said.

He really doesn't like Xu Bo.

If it is taken over, it will cause a big mess to the company in the future. According to Cao Yang's idea, Xu Bo can do anything in the future as much as Jiang Fan and Alibaba.

If Wang Sicong is a recognized rich young man, a scumbag, who acts high-profile and has a completely arrogant image.

Then Xu Bo must be even better than that.

This is the character of this person, he is rushing around and dares to say anything and do anything. According to Xu Bo himself,

"If there is a button in the world that can kill 3 billion people by pressing it, then I will definitely press it, so don't mess with me."

After Xu Bo founded Duoyi, the exploitation of employees can be said to be the most excessive in the entire industry. The department manager even owns his own [bed] in the company because the boss gives you money and hopes that you can fight for it 24 hours a day.

Xu Bo is not stingy with money, but has a strong desire to control himself. He has basically never divided the shares. He has the final say in the company.

Duoyi's employee commented on him as: "Xu Bo's dream is to build Duoyi into his own kingdom, he himself becomes the emperor and enjoy the feeling of the emperor.

Basically, no one is allowed to object to himself in the company. I remember a new planner who said something in the company group that he did not agree with his ideas and was fired the next day."

Duoyi is called the furnace of the game industry, not only because its overtime work is the most ruthless in the industry, but also because of its spiritual slavery is also famous for being terrible. Xu Bo can be said to have applied pua to the extreme in the workplace through various spiritual whippings. For example,

In 2020, Xu Bo asked his employees to actively send him an email of [requesting for salary cuts]. As soon as this incident broke out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

Later, Duoji explained-

Xu Bo did this to verify the compliance of employees: employees who actively propose to reduce their salary will receive more bonuses at the end of the year, and employees who are unwilling to reduce their salary may face the penalty of expulsion.

Not only that, Xu Bo is also very chaotic in his personal style. There are rumors on the Internet that he [has 12 babies, a realistic version of polygamy]. Xu Bo only falls in love but not gets married, and has n lovers. These women are basically fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged, and are willing to give birth to a baby for him.

Xu Bo often brings his concubines together to show his greatness.

Compared to him, Xiao Wang is simply a witch.

(There are a lot of leaks on the Internet, so the author will not give examples here.)

In short, Cao Yang believes that this person's character is not good and is a model for a villain to succeed. If he stays in the company, he will cause a disaster sooner or later. Instead of being implicated by him at that time, it is better to release the animals early and let him become his own little emperor.

After Xu Bo was eliminated, he was very angry. "Boss Cao is stubborn and has no idea about others. It's really strange that such a company can grow long."

...

However, Xu Bo did not join the company. Then Cao Yang found out that Guo Wei did not report to the company as agreed, but instead declined the contract issued by Bomi.

This made Cao Yang smell a little uneasy, as if the NetEase incident was about to be re-staged.

However, today is different from the past. Cao Yang is not worried about being stabbed at all, because Bomi now has a very powerful legal department. If Xu Bo really dares to copy Fantasy Westward Journey, then he will be sued directly for bankruptcy.

...

In fact, history really has an amazing coincidence. After Xu Bo entered Bomi's door and was closed, he immediately pulled up a former NetEase team and prepared to do it alone.

Because NetEase had a good relationship with Kingsoft before, Boss Ding had dinner with Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun, so Xu Bo, who was the main planner, also met several Kingsoft bosses.

Regarding Xu Bo's entrepreneurship, Lei Jun had the idea of ​​giving it a try, so he invested 10 million to see their future development.

...

At the same time, Cao Yang finally recruited suitable candidates for war3 numerical planning.

First, after some screening, Cao Yang finally selected a middle- and upper-level student from the mathematics department of Qinghai University who had a good grade of War3.

The classmate's name is Meng Xiao.

After all, it is a bit unrealistic to play games and have good academic performance.

What's more, it is a place where abnormalities such as the Department of Mathematics of Qing University gather.

Many people are obsessed with mathematics and don’t play games very well, which is really heartbreaking.

Students in the mathematics department generally have a characteristic that they are more interested in theory and have fewer applications, so it is not good to recruit those who are too high. Let them contribute their strength to future mathematical theories.

A talent for graduates from the mathematics department of Qing University like Meng Xiao, who is a middle- and upper-stream student, is enough for companies like Bomi.

He also mainly provides algorithms, builds mathematical models, and uses MATLAB to simulate and analyze. In fact, it does not require much advanced mathematical knowledge. After having a computer, he does not need to do specific calculations. After building a mathematical model, he only needs to adjust and input parameters, and finally see if the output results meet expectations.

Most numerical planning in the gaming industry can handle everything with just one excel, and only a small number of people need to use MATLAB.

As for the specific numerical adjustment, it is not Meng Xiao who gives the final numerical value.

This time, Sister Hua recruited people very well, and brought two very satisfactory candidates to Cao Yang-

One is magicyang, one of the earliest war3 players in China. They can be said to be a hard-core figure, known as a tactical master. Although the APM is only about 120, they have very rich tactical experience and extraordinary imagination, creating many genres and routines.

Apm refers to how many times a minute it takes to operate, which reflects the person's real hand speed. The higher the apm, the faster the hand speed.

A player like Lao Yang with a 120 hand speed is relatively slow among war players, but he wins because of his strong tactical awareness, rich personal experience, and a high proportion of effective operations.

Magicyang's real name is Zhou Chen, and its voice is very nice and very magnetic.

Another one is Ma Tianyuan, the champion of the interstellar competition in 2001. Although he mainly plays interstellar competitions, he also plays war3 in private. This person's operation is very powerful. You should know that interstellar operation units are much more than war3. Many Zerg players have to operate about 200 units, while war3 has almost the same limit of 2 to 3 groups, and almost dozens of units is already amazing. Therefore, with Ma Tianyuan's hand speed, there is definitely no problem in playing war3.

If he hadn't put his focus on the interstellar world, he should have been a war3 master.

It was Cao Yang's regret that he did not recruit Sky Li Xiaofeng.

But if you think about it carefully, Sky is only 18 years old now, which is the golden age of a competitive player. Instead of attracting him to serve as a numerical planner, it is better to let him play well and win glory for the country.

...

Zhou Chen and Ma Tianyuan were both from 1981, about the same age as Cao Yang. When they were called to the boss's office, they didn't know that Cao Yang was the boss, and they thought they were here to apply for a job like them.

"Brother, what game do you play?" Zhou Chen asked him.

magicyang looks like a kind of honest big brother.

This was the first time Cao Yang saw him so young.

Zhou Chen asked this question because the e-sports circle is very small, especially in 2003, there were not many professional players in China. Ma Tianyuan and Zhou Chen both knew each other. Everyone had played games and had done tricks.

But Cao Yang's face is really too new, and they can't find out which professional player looks like this from their memory.

After all, it is rare for a teenager to grow up to be so beautiful and has amazing speed. He either becomes a star or is kept by a rich woman.

"Me?" Cao Yang was stunned for a moment, "I play any game."

"Awesome." Ma Tianyuan sighed.

Then the two introduced Cao Yang, "My name is Ma Tianyuan. I used to play interstellar players. I heard that Bomi Company can not only play games, but also make money steadily, so I came."

Zhou Chen smiled, "I'm about the same. My name is Zhou Chen, a war3 player. In the game, magicyang, and others call me Lao Yang."

Who would have thought that the man named Lao Yang actually had the surname Zhou?

What did this person think when he first named him?

Cao Yang smiled, "It's great, I will rely on you in the company's games in the future."

While talking, he poured tea for the two of them.

Looking at Cao Yang's familiar appearance, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little silenced.

The boss didn't come, and the little brother brewed and drank by himself, just like this was his house, and there was no hint of embarrassment in every move.

Even Zhou Chen admired his skin a little.

Is this young man a little too rebellious?
