Chapter 336: Blizzard

After arriving at the hotel, Zhang Yang took a shower and lay down comfortably, falling out of jet lag.
The next morning, he appeared refreshed in the North American company's office.
This time, in addition to checking Will's work, another point is to check the work of other game companies, and also check the work of the two vice presidents.
Listening to the reports of the two vice presidents, Zhang Yang had no expression on his face, which made the two vice presidents feel a little uncomfortable. Did they dissatisfy the boss?
"Edson, the counter-strike game hasn't been developed yet? Didn't you say that the progress is fast, what's wrong?" Zhang Yang tapped his finger on the table, dissatisfied with the progress.
The basic architecture has already been completed, and the next step is the game map and other aspects, which is not too difficult.
"It's nothing. It's just that Villefort is going to launch a game called Half-Life. Let's first see if this game is popular in the market. This is already completed. It is ready to be released this month."
"It's also a public beta for testing, testing the game's bugs, etc., so this game is very cheap, and then based on the feedback, perfect the counter-strike game."
Zhang Yang just nodded his head. This plan can't be said to be bad, but Half-Life is definitely not going to make any money, and the company's reputation is hard to win.
But it doesn't matter. After the counter-strike is listed, it will definitely surprise many people. This is a series of games that have been in the past life for more than ten years.
In the future, it can be changed to an online game, allowing more players to communicate and add more gameplay.
"Boss, there is one thing to tell you. Blizzard licensed one of their games to the Schneider company to run on Schneider's PS."
The boss is the majority shareholder of Zhiduoxing and the majority shareholder of Blizzard. I don’t know what Blizzard thinks. The game is actually sold on the PS platform. Isn’t that the boss’s face?
"I know, I don't need to bother about this. Allen will come over in the afternoon, and I will have a good chat with him. Remember, the contract stipulates that the management autonomy is given to them, then follow the contract."
Even if Blizzard wants to run Warcraft and other games on Zhiduoxing G, Zhang Yang may not be happy. The operation is not convenient at all, and it is not fun to play. There is still a clear gap between the handle and the mouse.
"During this time, you got a lot of game authorization in North America, and you worked hard."
After Edson went out, Zhang Yang looked at the report on the table carefully. At least these companies have made money for the American multi-star company.
Some games of Zhiduoxing Company are getting better and better in North America. Sun Yansheng is no longer responsible, but after switching to DA Company, it is only after seeing the gap in the distribution capabilities between the companies.
After reading the report, Zhang Yang played Blizzard's new game Diablo on his office computer. This game is also one of Blizzard's masterpieces in the previous life, and it has been well received.
Now looking at the familiar picture, Zhang Yang is very happy when playing. Unlike his previous life, he has passed the millennium when he played, and he is still in an Internet cafe.
At noon, he did not go out to eat, but let people send a snack to come in, quite the feeling of a previous life in an Internet cafe. The seat is more comfortable, and there is no smoking around, the only thing missing is that there is no partner.
When I was having fun in the afternoon, I heard a knock on the door.
"Allen, you're here, sit, I'm playing Diablo." Zhang Yang beckoned to Allen. "How should I go about this?"
I haven't played for a long time, and he hasn't remembered some customs clearance skills.
Alan saw that Zhang Yang was very interested in the games they developed, and felt extremely proud: "Look, if I remember correctly here, it should be..."
Half an hour later, Zhang Yang and Allen sat on the sofa together, drinking coffee.
"Mr. Zhang, do you have any comments or suggestions for our new game?"
"Hahaha, it's fun, but the picture is a bit dark, but this is in line with the game's background settings. This game sold 1.8 million sets in North America last year, I heard that it took less than a million to spend Three weeks, the scenery is infinite."
"The second part will be launched this year. The guaranteed sales of the DA company are two million copies. Blizzard will become the world's top PC game developer, not just North America."
"I came here this time and I have good news to tell you. The Southeast Asian market has indeed experienced some problems recently, but it does not affect your product sales."
"Japanese version and Korean version of Warcraft 2, Diablo 1, will be available immediately, I believe it will bring you some surprises."
There are obviously more people in Huaxia, which is also the base camp of Zhang Yang, but he is not sure to make Huaxia's sales better.
"Mr. Zhang, these games will also bring you satisfactory returns."
Blizzard has become a subsidiary of American Multi-Star, but it does not affect Blizzard's game development progress. Even Blizzard's decisions have not been affected.
This point made Allen admire Zhang Yang very much. As a controlling party and good at games, I really didn't intervene in Blizzard's operational decisions.
Even if they transplanted the game to the Schneider PS platform instead of the Zhiduoxing G, this chapter did not say anything against it.
"Mr. Zhang, we are cooperating with Changi Company this time. Do you have anything to say?" Allen found that Zhang Yang had never mentioned this matter, but he couldn't help it.
"No, Blizzard's side is up to you. I won't intervene. Zhiduoxing company should also quote. You think the price of Niuni is more appropriate, then cooperate with that side, I don't care."
The offer of Zhiduoxing Company is of course very low, because Zhang Yang knows that this game will not be fun after being transplanted to the video game console.
It's a pity that this also has a low requirement for the performance of the host ~ EbookFREE.me ~ otherwise it can be tried to transplant to the computer learning machine.
"What if our next game is to work with Johnny?"
"Randomly. I invested in Blizzard, just because I think Blizzard's games are fun, and some development ideas have made me agree. As for the management, I didn't intend to intervene. Blizzard's profit is not low, but is the big head packed into my pocket? ?"
Even if you make more money at Blizzard, I am also a major shareholder with 60% of the shares.
Now it seems that Blizzard's revenue is good, with a net profit of tens of millions of dollars every year, which is nothing compared to Zhiduoxing as a whole. Not to mention Zhang Yangguang's investment in the financial market this year, and the profits are all in 100 million units.
"Mr. Zhang, Blizzard's next plan is to develop Battle.net, which is an online game battle platform. We proposed this idea last year and started implementing it this year."
Zhang Yang was so embarrassed and made Allen feel embarrassed, so he gave the company's development plan. He also wanted to hear Zhang Yang's opinion. After all, Zhang Yang was a young man who was too magical.
