i really just want to play games

Chapter 109

After returning to the booth of Zange Network, Chen Tiancai checked the time. It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost closing time.

The employees happened to be packing up, so Chen Tiancai also put down the gifts in his hand and began to help.

"How is it?" Pei Guangming leaned close to Chen Tiancai's ear and asked quietly.

"What?" Chen Tiancai felt that Pei Guangming was a little baffled.

Pei Guangming elbowed Chen Tiancai on the shoulder, squeezed his eyes, and said, "You ran out last night and made so many phone calls. You went out all afternoon this afternoon and came back with Suo Dafa and Lao Ren's things in your hand. .”

Chen Tiancai slapped his forehead. He didn't deliberately hide it from Pei Guangming, but he received too much information today, so he was a little confused for a while.

So he said: "It was the two of them who called me yesterday and asked me to meet up today, but this is only the first contact, and nothing has been confirmed. We will deal with these matters when we return to China."

Pei Guangming nodded, pointed to the pile of gifts from Mr. Takeda, and asked, "Boss, can you pick some of those things for me?"

In fact, Pei Guangming could guess what was inside the gilded black box of Suo Dafa, but although he was happy, he also knew how to advance and retreat.

"Okay, you can choose when you get back to the hotel." Chen Tiancai agreed immediately, and then he said: "There won't be so many players tomorrow. Let everyone go to the booths you want to visit in batches. This E3 only happens once a year. Don't miss it. It's a pity."

"Okay!" Pei Guangming turned around and announced the good news to the employees of Zange Network, which aroused their cheers, and even his work became more efficient.

The E3 exhibition is very lively, and for players, every day is new.

But for these employees participating in the exhibition, every day is those rigid procedures, and then they stay at the booth all day.

There are many industries in this world that make more money than games. The reason why these employees of Zange Network choose this industry is because they love games.

Chen Tiancai saw the hard work of the employees these days, and he also saw the envious eyes they cast on those players, so he got rid of this idea.

In addition to Chinese food, there are a lot of Korean food in Los Santos, so tonight Chen Tiancai took the employees to find a place to eat, and then took an Uber back to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, in addition to summarizing the players' opinions yesterday, Chen Tiancai also asked a few young people he was optimistic about to come to his room together, and began to browse Microsoft's press conference today, as well as the new games of major game manufacturers.

After a quick look, Chen Tiancai roughly understood Microsoft’s plans for the next two years.

The largest market for stand-alone games is the European and American markets. These players have a relatively uniform preference type, which is simply car, gun and ball.

In order to compete with Suo Dafa this time, Microsoft not only produced the new work of "Halo" in the past few years, but also relied on the layout of the previous two years and those acquired studios to develop many first-party games. game.

However, what made Chen Tiancai curious was that many of the first-party games developed by these studios were played with Suo Dafa's face in mind.

Generally speaking, the types are relatively the same, and judging from the demos and promotional videos, these studios have Microsoft's financial support, and the things they make are very strong.

"You big-eyed Microsoft has also learned to copy." Chen Tiancai was a little shocked, but felt it was reasonable.

Developing new game types is too difficult and time consuming.It is indeed easier to follow the path taken by Suo Dafa.

And strictly speaking, those studios are only borrowing, even if there are some similar elements, it is only similar to the relationship between "Black Soul" and "Nioh", and they have also come up with many new things.

"What do you think?" After Chen Tiancai finished thinking, he began to ask the employees what they thought.

"Halo must be bought, and the game like Dark Souls is also my favorite, but it's a pity that I haven't seen the new work of the old thief Miyazaki." A somewhat thin young man said slowly.

His name is Jing Bo, and he was recruited in the second phase of Zange Network, which was the first large-scale enrollment expansion. He graduated from a prestigious school in Shanghai and majored in computers.

Now he is an important figure under Pei Guangming, and he will be the backbone of that network in the future.

Pei Guangming smiled and said, "You haven't changed your posture. The boss asked you what you think of Microsoft's press conference today."

Hearing this, Jing Bo touched his forehead in embarrassment, and then said under Chen Tiancai's encouraging eyes: "It just feels very stable, looking at these game lineups, I also want to buy a set of their new consoles. "

Pei Guangming touched his chin, feeling a little embarrassed.

Chen Tiancai said: "It's okay, Xiaojing just joined the company not long ago, although his words were a bit lame, but he also revealed Microsoft's layout, which is to rely on stable and high-yield first-party games to make players pay for their consoles."

"Boss, I'm a little curious, why are you interested in these host manufacturers?" Jing Bo asked with a straightforward personality.

Chen Tiancai thought for a while, then slowly said: "Speaking of it at a young age, although we only make games, the most important industry ecology depends on these host manufacturers."

"The main platform for the two games we released is the Steam platform, which is the PC. But now the main platform is where stand-alone games are really sold. After all, the problem of PC piracy alone is the biggest headache for game manufacturers."

"Our engine has such a good encryption system, why don't we use it to improve the PC market ecology?" Jing Bo then asked.

Finally, Pei Guangming couldn't bear it any longer. Before Chen Tiancai could speak, he patted Jing Bo's forehead and said, "You kid is really good at playing games. Why can't you understand this aspect?"

"Let me tell you, the PC piracy market is also a big market. Although it is sluggish now, it still supports a lot of people. And not everyone in the world can afford a sixty-dollar game. Our own games Just protect it well, why bother wading into this muddy water." While talking, Pei Guangming patted Jing Bo's forehead angrily.

Jing Bo laughed a few times, touched his forehead, and said, "That's how I am, Boss, don't mind."

Chen Tiancai shook his head and ignored the matter of the cousins.

Pei Guangming and Jing Bo are relatives and alumni.They grew up together, and judging from Jing Bo's reaction, this kind of scene should be very common.

"Okay, let's all go to bed early. We have to endure another day tomorrow." Chen Tiancai ended the closed-door meeting.

There was nothing to say all night, but since Lao Ren's face-to-face meeting was in the morning, Chen Tiancai got up early the next day.
