Genius Game Planning

Chapter 115 When the Protagonist Starts Preparing to Make an Operating System
The problem does not lie in the plagiarism between the two games. Even if Liu Neng continues the operation cycle of the game "Three Kingdoms", this game will only be a niche game.

Board game card players are already a minority in China, and "Three Kingdoms" can try to activate the general users of card game board games.

Some people may be interested in board game cards, but because they haven't touched them before, they don't know that they like them. The role of "Three Kingdoms" is to draw these people into the circle.

That's all there is to it.Pan-users and core users make up the player group of "Three Kingdoms", but the number of this group is far less exaggerated than it seems now. The registered users of "Three Kingdoms Killing OL" have now reached 1500W, but basically that's all.

stuck in a bottleneck.

The pan-users should have already come in, and many of the people who came in didn't like it very much, so they left, and under normal circumstances they would not come back.Parting is always sad, and the saddest thing is that you can't make money.The theme of the Three Kingdoms is mostly in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, and it may be promoted in farther places.Therefore, these board game card users account for a very small proportion of the overall game players. It is difficult for Liu Neng to say this number, but based on experience, it is only about [-]%.

No matter how hard you try, it is impossible for "Three Kingdoms" to become a universal game.It is possible to organize some medium-sized leagues, but when you go online and want to play professional games, you will find that you can't organize them at all.Although "Hero Kill" came in to disrupt the situation, but this situation is so big, no matter how disturbed it is, it won't be of much use.

Therefore, the problem is not at all whether there is plagiarism between the two games, but that the player's plate is so big, it is unnecessary to fight for these players.

The competition in "Three Kingdoms" is somewhat entertaining, but it must be admitted that it is not very entertaining.A very important reason why Liu Neng insisted on competing before this was to lay the foundation.

But it doesn't matter if you die or hurt each other, some disgusting methods still have to be used.

For example, Liu Neng's announcement that caused an uproar in the player community.

It's just that Liu Neng was already in the capital when the players continued their heated discussions.However, this time I didn't come to discuss cooperation with Hu Yuehai, but was drinking green tea in a cafe with someone I had never met before.

The man in front of him was in his 30s, he looked a little stiff, and the hair on the top of his head was a little sparse, so he was undoubtedly a geek.His name is Zhou Zheng, and his name is unknown.

Liu Neng saw this person's information on a forum. He talked to himself, saying that he was developing an open mobile platform modeled on ibal, and the demo has been completed.But the funds have bottomed out, and I want to find investment.The post has been hanging on the geek Internet for many days, and some people have asked about the situation, but in the end it ended without a problem.

Zhou Zheng was disheartened at first, and planned to seal up the project, and then went to Zhengerbajing to find a job.But a phone call brought him back to the hope line, and a person claiming to be Liu Neng contacted him.

That's why we had this meeting.In later years, when Liu Neng had become famous, this simple meeting in a cafe was given a strong sacred meaning by his admirers.

After a brief mutual introduction, Zhou Zheng was surprised by Liu Neng's youth, but thinking that this was the first "future funder" to meet him officially, he put away his arrogance and showed off his work. Fan.

Before that, Zhou Zheng actually did some research on the name "Liu Neng". Geek's methods are somewhat different from ordinary people's human flesh, they can see more truth hidden beyond the surface.

But what he saw made him even more puzzled. This 23-year-old person doesn't seem to have much attention in the first half of his life.All the changes seem to have happened in the past year, from falling out with the supervisor, to being suppressed, from participating in the creative competition, to creating a game studio by himself; interestingly, some interesting developments he is doing now , coincided with some of Zhou Zheng's thoughts.

For example, an open, low-level, platform, and game engine; it is very similar to the open, operating system level, platform, and mobile device operating system he advocated.

This is one of the reasons why he is most interested in Liu Neng.In Zhou Zheng's view, technology should be shared, this is the geek spirit.However, a high-profile boss who is in love with a celebrity and plays games (frivolously) is one of the reasons why he feels unreliable.

Five buckets of rice pressing down on the waist is a very real problem, and this is also the most fundamental reason why two people can sit face to face.

After watching the presentation, Liu Neng made some comments:
1. More people need to work together to complete the development;
2. After the development is completed, it is necessary to form a wider alliance, preferably with mobile phone manufacturers, so as to ensure the ecology;
3. It is not open enough, the source code needs to be fully open;
4. A centralized application store is necessary, and the source code is completely open, so that the people who make the application can understand it at a lower cost;

5. There should be some better operating habits for mobile devices.

After listening to these points, Zhou Zheng's impression of Liu Neng soared.Maybe it was due to the programmer's bad words, so he finally asked weakly, "If you were to invest, how much money would you be able to invest?"

"Investment?" Liu Neng shook his head, "I'm not interested, I'd rather be wholly-owned. I will realize your personal freedom of wealth, and I will set up a company or studio specially, with you as the leader to continue the research and development of this project."

Such domineering remarks made Zhou Zheng stunned for several seconds, "Can you talk about it in detail, how much capital can be injected to form the company?"

Liu Neng, who was retreating tactically, directly gave Zhou Zheng an answer that he could not refuse, "You decide the price."

Zhou Zheng didn't speak, and was still digesting the answer, but Liu Neng continued, "I believe you should have investigated me before we met. I can't compare with the bosses of those big companies for the time being, but at least a few of our brands No matter how profitable the game is, I can overdraw a year's income for capital injection, and if there is still demand in the future, I can continue to invest in it. The key is that this project must be successful."

Finally, Zhou Zheng was moved by Liu Neng, and nodded to accept the acquisition.The formal signing of the contract will have to wait for him to move to Shanghai, and the details of the contract will need to be redrawn by two people.

Many years later, Zhou Zheng once asked him, "Why did you support this project so firmly at the beginning? The probability of success is too small, and the probability of failure is too high."

Liu Neng said in a tone that seemed casual but was actually serious, "I really don't like the foreigners who used computer operating systems to harvest a wave of leeks, and then used mobile phones to harvest a wave of leeks again. They are all making money anyway, why should we?" Why can’t you just stand and make money?”
