66. The tool man has evolved!
At night, it's late at night.
Cao Yang and Liu Guangran were sitting outside chatting at a barbecue stall.
Now that the game platform is on track, both of them are relatively relaxed.
After drinking a little wine for a while, both of them were in a slightly intoxicating state.
Liu Guangran took a sip of wine and raised his blurred eyes to look at Cao Yang.
Under the street lights, Cao Yang's fair face was dyed with a layer of golden color, with clear contours, delicate facial features, and a perfect side face.
It can be described as Fengshen's handsomeness.
Liu Guangran couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Fuck your mother.
This kid is so handsome!
Moreover, this young man is really not simple. He acts erraticly, and every time he makes a big move, he adapts the game design direction from the beginning, changes RTS's Honor of Kings to galgame, and then acquires Penguin and develops a game platform, which has been pushed to the present...
Liu Guangran felt frightened when he thought about it.
Boss Cao is simply playing extreme competition, walking tightropes at a height of 10,000 meters. If any of these problems occurs, it may lead to the company's bankruptcy.
Especially with the trick of acquiring Penguin, even Li Zekai, the little superman from Xiangjiang, was unable to play with, and was actually revitalized by Cao Yang.
It's really amazing.
"Mr. Cao, you are really amazing. Why are you so sure that QQ will bring so many users to the game platform?"
"this……"
Is this still worth saying?
Cao Yang has worked for penguins for so many years in his previous life, and he knows the operating mode of penguins very well.
When he was just a newcomer who joined Penguin, the training teacher introduced the history of Penguin's game making.
At the beginning, Penguin started the game late, but it had a very large user base. The idea of the senior management at that time was-
Use pop-up windows.
Pop-up windows are a function that is very disgusting to users, but the effect is very simple, crude, direct and effective.
In that era, there was no big data to kill old customers and accurate push.
It depends on violent pop-ups. The first pop-up will probably be shortly after you log in to QQ.
Then it will pop again every once in a while.
Pop-up windows are divided into two types of pop-up windows. One is a pop-up window that must be closed by the user on its own initiative, otherwise it will be displayed on a regular basis, just like the small advertisements that could be seen everywhere on the street at that time:
"If you want to treat the disease, come to the xx male hospital."
"Pretty xx, I guarantee you have no worries."
The other one is a little softer. Even if you don't turn it off actively, it will automatically retract after a few seconds.
This kind of pop-up window has a very vivid word called [bay window]
Although it will not arouse players' particularly disgust like pop-ups, it is not much better.
In the history of Penguin Game development, pop-ups and plagiarism are two keywords that can never be reached.
Although it is a bit shameless, the effect is actually very good. It is precisely because of the huge user base and shameless pop-up function that Penguin has become the leader in the game industry since it is a rising star.
This time, Cao Yang asked Penguin to develop the bay window function.
The main thing is to rely on the above beautiful illustrations to attract players to actively click.
Cao Yang giggled foolishly. It was definitely impossible to tell Liu Guangran that he was from the future. He was a member of the Penguin.
"I thought at that time that QQ had a very large user base, but it just lacked a means of monetization. The development cost of chess and card games was small. If they could be combined, it would definitely be perfect, so if I wanted to tell me how I knew..."
Cao Yang grinned and laughed silently, "Probably I have more vision than Li Zekai. Hahahaha..."
"Hahahahaha..." Liu Guangran also burst into laughter.
For a moment, the air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"Boss Niu Pi."
"No, it's up to you to achieve it." Cao Yang and Liu Guangran had a cup of wine.
Speaking of which, the group of employees my father recruited for him really have two tricks.
Especially programmers and art, they are very reliable.
Liu Guangran graduated from the Department of Computer Science at Tsinghua University and has a very solid foundation. It is said that he was valued by his supervisor during his school days. He originally wanted to bring him to the research institute later.
However, Liu Guangran was taken to the company by Cao Yang's father to serve as the main program.
My father's eyes are not bad.
Since Liu Guangran has developed, there are very few problems in the program. He doesn’t talk much and is very strict in his work.
This actually comes from Liu Guangran’s high requirements for himself.
A child from a rural family, he was able to reach this point entirely through his own efforts and high financial requirements.
So Cao Yang was still very relieved with Liu Guangran's control technology, which also saved him a lot of time.
If a boss has to do everything himself, the company can go bankrupt.
What Cao Yang hopes to do is to control the general direction by himself, and then someone can perfectly implement his strategic intentions.
But throughout history, employees who can perfectly execute their intentions can also be said to be very remarkable.
Many projects may have good design and market environment at that time, but they are dead due to execution.
Cao Yang encountered a person in his previous life. At that time, the company had a very promising project, but the server crashed the next day. A group of employees repaired for several months, and the daylily became cold.
With the lessons learned from the past, this time Cao Yang himself will try his best to avoid trampling on tricks.
But it is really difficult to explain clearly when doing games. Sometimes even if you step on the pit and make many successful games, the next one may not fail.
...
"By the way, boss, I don't understand a question very well." Liu Guangran raised his head and asked with a drunken heart, "By the way, Penguin has a QQ platform, wouldn't it be better to hand over the chess and card hall to them to develop?"
"Tsk, Guangran," Cao Yang rolled his eyes, "How many times have I said, don't always call him the chess and card hall, we are the game platform."
"Oh yes, yes, game platform." Liu Guangran quickly corrected with a silly smile.
"From the perspective of cost saving, isn't it better to let them develop? And you can also use Penguin's own database directly, which is convenient to connect. If the game platform can be made into a permanent button on the QQ interface, then players should be more likely to enter, right?"
Why?!
Cao Yang's eyes lit up.
Guangran has two brushes.
In fact, what Liu Guangran proposed was the structure of the earliest QQ game hall.
Being able to think about this level shows that Liu Guangran is not just a tool person.
But a semi-intelligent tool person who can think.
Chapter completed!
