Chapter 25 Roberts's Ace
On the other side of the world, Blizzard's New York headquarters.
Here are the world's most elite game designers and top game creators, but these heroes who are staring at all kinds of aura are being criticized by their bosses.
"I was trampled under my feet by a game company in an Asian country, or twice? How much has the quality of our World of Warcraft has declined!"
Roberts, the president of Blizzard Company, has an orangutan face. He can fry a whole plate with a big mouth cut off. At first glance, he is a mixed-race.
As the world's number one game production company, they should be the best. When the first Tang Dynasty game surpassed them, they didn't care, because various data showed that the Tang Dynasty was just floating data.
They have a set of scientific data for calculating online games, which can fundamentally analyze the combat effectiveness and potential of each online game. Although the Tang Dynasty was already very threatening at that time, it was still a drop in the bucket compared with other World of Warcraft.
But this time, colleagues in the data department brought bad news: this time it's not floating data!
The number of online people and various basic data of the Tang Dynasty are abnormally stable. At first glance, it fundamentally surpasses Warcraft!
This puzzles Roberts: How can a company in the city or an Asian company with relatively weak technology surpass the World of Warcraft that he has built in ten years?
Although World of Warcraft is just an idea occasionally obtained by the creators of Warcraft III, as the leader of the company, he immediately made a final step of the plan to assist in the implementation of this plan. Although Warcraft III jumped again, it finally gave birth to twins: World of Warcraft, the most In this way, excellent online games were born unexpectedly.
For Blizzard, this kind of online game is only a sideline. In fact, they have always been doing stand-alone games. In European and American countries where copyright protection is relatively standardized, stand-alone games are actually more profitable and have faster capital turnover than online games.
Because for online games, you have to pay a team of people to maintain operations, and you also need to have a special server and produce various expansion packs, which is really not a wise way to make money in Blizzard.
Because the salaries of personnel in European and American countries are very high, the welfare benefits of this team and the money of people feeding are really considerable. In addition, it is necessary to occupy the precious time of their core production staff to make a variety of copies and expansion packs, which is really not worth the loss!
Perhaps only in China, where copyright is trampled on and piracy is rampant without copyright awareness, online games are the only way, so many game companies that have been tortured by pirated versions will gritt their teeth and learn to run first, and directly start operating online games.
In those years, a Korean second-rate game, the legend of poor painting can attract countless teenagers in Internet cafes to bend their waists, which shows the past and present life of domestic online games.
"The supervisors of each department! Be sure to remember this day of shame! Our game was trampled under our feet for the first time in a country!" Roberts's staring look is a little funny, but in fact, he doesn't rely on these to manage employees.
The employees also know in their hearts that although the abominable boss looks a little brain-damaged, he is actually extremely smart. When he blows his beard and stares and does a lot of bad behaviors, he may have a unique way to deal with it in his rough brain like an orangutan.
Roberts called Miss Nepheus after the meeting. When Nepheus appeared in the corridor, there was a loud whistle!
Indeed, a pair of long legs wrapped in brown stockings, a model-like figure and the delicate and attractive facial features, this beauty makes any man can't help but do some low-level behavior.
Compared with domestic IT men, these IT men on the other side of the ocean are more outgoing and will use this timid means to attract the opposite sex they are interested in.
Although their whistle may only get a white eye, they still enjoy it one after another.
But Nepheus didn't do that, but before entering Roberts' office, he looked back solemnly, shook his golden hair, smiled sweetly at these lonely men, and blinked quickly with one eye!
This charming eye is like a nuclear weapon, which shocked these lonely men's world view in an instant. After a smile, Nepheus walked into Roberts' office.
"She's looking at me." For a long time, a tall white man served the coffee, but there was nothing in it.
"You're wrong. She's not interested in extra-large cotton swabs." A black guy straightened his tie: "Maybe she likes stronger and enthusiastic boys."
The outside immediately began to make noise, and Roberts wrinkled an old face through the shutters and looked at the outside helplessly: "Why does it cause such an uproar every time you come to me?"
"Because these little guys in yours are all little wild horses that don't eat enough feed!" Nepheus is putting on lipstick for herself.
"To be honest, I really don't want you to do this again. For so many years, maybe you should try to do something that ordinary girls do, such as... fall in love, find a reliable boyfriend..."
Nepheus interrupted him impatiently without waiting for him to finish: "Yes, yes, find a reliable boyfriend, then my stomach is big, and then my boyfriend is gone, and then I become a new single mother, to be a ** girl for a group of children's livelihood, or go to a restaurant in Brooklyn to be a waiter and give those fat. Guys touch their buttocks... Is there a more tragic story than this?"
"You..." Roberts curled his lips helplessly: "Okay, let's get back to the point. We are in big trouble this time, so we let you get some snacks..."
"Small snacks? That's what you said last time, but it turned out that I went to Austria to steal the couple's game code! This is too immoral, isn't it? It took the couple several years to develop a game, relying on the one to buy a house to raise children. Your practice has reduced people's income by at least two-thirds!" Phoenix looked at the other party disdainfully and spit out a smoke ring.
"Smoking is prohibited here!" Roberts was a little annoyed and took down the cigarette butt in the other party's mouth. When his fingers accidentally touched the other party's sexy lips, he was suddenly paralyzed.
"It's really unexpected that there are still people in the world who care about me to smoke, except for my dead father." Nepheus said in a joke tone, "Uncle, do you think you can control me? You are just my father's former colleague.
Roberts's helpless eyebrows skimmed: "Well, you make an offer. This task is more troublesome than last time, so I won't hide anything. I'll give you three million dollars and pay 5% in advance, okay?"
"I want five million, 20% in advance!" Phoenix said without hesitation, "If I guess correctly, the place you asked me to go this time is China, right?"
"Yes, the environment is a little complicated, and the other party is the boss of a large group. It is said that their company has developed a very advanced game system. Although we are imitating this sample, it is better to get some core technologies, otherwise even if it is imitated, it will be different!"
Roberts didn't even complain about Finney's price increase. In fact, he estimated that he had reduced the price when he made a price, because he knew the woman's habit: no matter how high the price you put, she would always be dissatisfied and raise it by 40%.
"You can get it next month," Phoenix stood up and pulled down his stockings. This posture was very seductive, which directly made Roberts not calm down and unnaturally diverted his eyes: "Please, I'm your father's colleague! Don't use these tricks on me!"
"Okay, gay uncle..." Finis turned away with a smile, and when he went to the corridor, it caused another time**.
