Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 377 This August, all the heroes are vying for the throne
In the global simultaneous conference call of Century Zongheng Overseas Company,

Chen Hao gave instructions, "The domestic and foreign environments are very different. When we make games, what we ultimately do is the market and localization.

It is not enough to have good game quality, so two aspects are particularly important. One is translation. We must have the same attitude as when we translated World of Warcraft. The second is channels and laws and regulations. In this regard, Zhou Xiao and Qian You are all professionals, so pay special attention!
There are still 4 months left before the end of the year. I hope to see these games ready. Early next year will be the year when Century Zongheng will go overseas. By then, I will invest a lot of resources in promotion. I hope this money will not be wasted. Let’s work together sincerely and work hard together! "

Although Chen Hao is very confident in his own game, he still takes precautions against it.

In addition to games, he also asked Li Wu to split up Century Friendship Network.
Make a separate copy of the current version of Weibo, retaining only the core functions, and create an extremely simple international version of Weibo, named MBlog, and the entire process is microblog.

Nowadays, except for blogs and Facebook, social media websites are all traditional media websites.

Facebook is now only popular on campuses in North America and has not yet opened up to the world.

In the next few days, Chen Hao finalized all the work for the next six months to one year.

During Chen Hao's overseas trip, he first came into contact with some of today's high-end field talents. If he could dig, he would dig, and if he couldn't, he would loosen the soil.Then he personally builds momentum for his own company on various platforms, carries the banner of nationalism, and is plated with gold.The last step is to straighten out the framework and next steps of foreign affairs, so that the following people can implement them according to the set goals.

By the way, I'm traveling with my wife and visiting bigger cities.

With this set in place, I counted the days and went out for nearly a month. All things were progressing quite satisfactorily, and it was time to return home.

Before returning, Chen Hao called Duan Jianye, the head of the San Francisco branch, to him alone, patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely,

"North America is my most important market. From now on, I will leave it to you to take care of it. You can give full play to your abilities, but you must do what I ask you to do. I don't care what you do. I only look at the results and not the process." !”

"First, the game should be ready before the end of the year. Second, maintain good relationships with some local partner organizations. Third, maintain horizontal communication and synchronization with other overseas offices, and report to Zhou Xiao by phone every half month."

"Jianye, you were born in China and grew up abroad. Especially your name is very good. I hope you will live up to your name and make contributions to the century. Do you still remember our ultimate goal?"

Duan Jianye pursed his lips and nodded, "A few days ago, the first sentence you said in the meeting was that we were going to stand still and earn money from foreigners!"

Chen Hao lightly punched the other person's chest and smiled, "That's right, go get busy!"

After the explanation was completed, Chen Hao and his group of more than people set off back to China, ending their overseas trip.

It’s hot summer in Beijing in August.

Even hotter than the temperature is the domestic online game market.

As early as July, major manufacturers launching new games launched a public opinion offensive, and copies of the press releases were sold out to build momentum for the promotion of their own games. The closed beta test conducted in July was considered the first battle. Due to its small scale, it was half-measured and everyone was gearing up. Making final preparations for the online game to be released for public testing in August.

In early August, Shanda officially announced that "Rainbow Island OL", another casual online game after MapleStory, and "Street Basketball", a competitive sports online game, will launch a happy open beta on August 8 to meet the majority of players.

Shanda became the first company to officially announce a public beta, which also launched the first shot in the online game hegemony this month.

As if not to let Shanda Zhuan excel, Haojia's "Challenge OL", Jiuyou's "Happy Journey to the West", and Game Orange's "EverQuest 2" have all released their own public beta dates.

I don’t know if they have discussed it, but they have all scheduled it for public beta at the same time on August 8. Just like the movie is scheduled to be released in theaters, everyone is holding their breath and wants to defeat other opponents and at the same time overturn the online game called Century series. of mountains.

Currently, "Martial Arts World" and "Three Kingdoms Online" still occupy the top two spots in the market.

It's finally time to see the real story. The major media are looking forward to the performance of these games after the public beta, especially Chen Hao's reaction. After all, they know that these games from these companies were originally snatched from Chen Hao.

During this period, there was overwhelming publicity in various similar news.

The games that will be released for public beta on the 8th will be promoted as the strongest on the planet. They are unparalleled in the world. They are cross-generational and groundbreaking. All kinds of high-end vocabulary can be used as soon as possible.The players who are waiting for these new games are very excited.

The Internet has no memory, but the media does. Some media have compiled and published the agency scandals of major game manufacturers a few months ago.

"Censored Century Interactive Entertainment, will it have the last laugh?" 》

"Does Chen Hao regret making wedding clothes for others?" 》

"1VS6, can Century Interactive Entertainment break through the siege and escape?" 》

The report described vividly that a few months ago, major manufacturers competed for the games that Century Interactive Entertainment wanted to represent, and ultimately the latter had no choice but to choose some alternatives.

Now it's finally time to settle all the old and new grudges, making this month's online game battle even more topical.

These reports have also activated the memories of the majority of netizens. Hehe, this wave focuses on a grudge game, which is interesting now.

Not only major media and online game companies, but even players who usually don't care much about these things are paying attention to the trend of online games.

Is the landscape of online games still the same or is it completely overturned?It's none of their business, they mainly want to see the ups and downs of excitement.

By August 8th, the game was about to be released on the 5th and the manufacturers were busy making final preparations, making the atmosphere increasingly tense.

However, the media discovered that there are still two companies that have yet to see any action. Why are there no moves on "Kart Racing" produced by Century Interactive Entertainment and "World of Miracles" produced by Tencent?

Century Interactive Entertainment is still discussing the public beta date.

Century Zongheng Industrial Park, Generation Business Department.

Zhou Xiao is leading several core managers in a meeting. The theme of the meeting is the strategy of racing karts, starting smoothly, and winning the best!
There were no problems in other aspects, but there were some differences during the public beta period.

The people below were discussing, while Zhou Xiao sat in the corner and watched the show without saying a word, allowing them to express themselves freely.

"What level are they? We don't want to join in the fun. Let them compete for a round first, and then our karts will appear as the champions. It's just like the relationship between the champion and the challenger. How can any champion come up and just follow a bunch of challengers? A gang fight."

"However, allowing these games to occupy the market in advance will easily put us in a passive situation. This is just like the movie schedule. Why are they released at the same time because we are afraid that all the movies released later will be snapped up."

"You are just changing the concept. The scenes are different. First of all, movies are one-off, while games are sustainable. Secondly, there are people in the theaters who arrange the movies. In the online game market, players make their own choices. Let me ask you, if you are a player In a situation like this, when five or six games are in public beta at the same time, how do you choose?"

"I will definitely choose the ones that interest me and try out a few first to see which ones are more fun to play."

"Yeah, after playing it for a few days, you basically know whether it's fun or not. This is a game produced by a leading company that suddenly appeared. Will you try it?"

"Then definitely go and try it whether you like it or not."

"Come on, isn't this the end of it? When you see a problem, you need to switch to different perspectives to think about it, and then analyze the pros and cons to find the optimal solution. Have you forgotten the lesson we just took last month?"

A young man wearing glasses firmly controlled the process and rhythm of the meeting. He was one of the first batch of students in the Youxuetang. He was the senior of these people and the operations director of the Generation Business Department. He was very prestigious among these people.
Seeing that no one was speaking, the senior asked everyone to vote by a show of hands.

"Who is in favor of postponing the public beta and who is against it?"
