Reborn multinational giant

Although Fang Zhe had such an idea, it was obviously not suitable for speaking out on the present occasion. He could only wait for a suitable time later and then talk to Li Zhipeng alone.

Later, Fang Zhe also stated the purpose of his trip. He hoped that Dean Lin could recommend several domestic talents in cloud computing. Lin Xiaobin, as the vice president of Google’s Chinese Academy of Engineering, is a top talent in this industry. Basically all know, and Google China is already a bit turbulent now. Dean Li has talked to him before and said that he will leave Google China in the near future.

Google China is already facing a situation where trees are falling apart. Many top talents in research institutes are already planning their future. Therefore, Lin Xiaobin directly recommended a few of them to Google China who have research on cloud computing. , Let Fang Zhe try to get in touch.

In its realization stage, big companies like bat have already smelled the instability of Google China, and each company is also busy recruiting and digging for talents from Google China. After hearing the news revealed by Lin Xiaobin, Fang Zhe became even more concerned. There is an unrestrained mind, people who can get into Google China Research Institute, how can Huizhong do something else, even if Huizhong doesn’t have jobs related to their technical career, Fang Zhe also intends to organize it for them. One or two departments, regardless of whether they are useful or not, let's get hold of these talents first.

On July 13, Huizhong held a very important high-level meeting. The reason why this meeting is said to be very important is that Huizhong has carried out an organizational reform during this meeting.

First of all, Huizhong established a dedicated copyright department. Previously, Huizhong purchased novel copyrights from the starting point. The legal department was responsible for it. However, as Huizhong purchased more and more copyrights, the organizational structure and work responsibilities of the legal department It has become more and more obscure and bloated. In the future, Huizhong will also reserve a large number of well-known IP copyrights. In order to facilitate management, Fang Zhe decided to set up a special copyright department to handle these matters.

After the establishment of the copyright department, it will attack at home and abroad at the same time. In China, the main target of the copyright department is the copyright of those well-known online novels under Shanda Literature. However, due to the success of several games adapted by Huizhong before, many of them are now sold well. The copyright price of the online novels of Shanda has begun to rise, and Shanda’s copyright to these novels has also begun to tighten, and is unwilling to sell it anymore. Instead, it is developed by its own Shanda game adaptation.

Fortunately, Huizhong has bought the copyrights of the dozen or so of the hottest online novels in the next ten years, and it doesn't matter if there are a few missing fish.

Overseas, the key targets of the copyright department are Japan, especially many classic IPs in the Japanese animation industry, including the copyrights of some well-known IPs such as "One Piece", "Naruto", and "King of Fighters". The newly established copyright department is also in contact Negotiations, these IPs are already very popular. It is impossible for Huizhong to make a big deal. Companies that own these IPs are not stupid, and they will not be willing to sell them if the price is low.

Therefore, in this respect, it can only be based on the market price. Anyway, under the overall big IP strategy, Huizhong's adaptation of these games must be profitable. The only difference is the problem of earning more and less!

The second adjustment of the organizational structure is the spin-off of the Huizhong mobile game department. The previous mobile games developed by Huizhong basically started from the integration of research and operation. The project team is responsible for both game development and Part of the game operation work. Later, with the increase of project teams, a separate mobile game operation project team was established under the mobile game department. The current spin-off is to separate the mobile game operation project team from the mobile game department and establish it. Separate game operations department.

The reason why the operation department was taken out separately was that Fang Zhe was actually preparing for the future Huizhong’s agent to operate other companies’ games. No matter how powerful Huizhong is, it is only one company after all, and there are only so many people in the market. All the good games are caught in one go, and the operation department was established separately to make up for this weakness. It separates Huizhong’s R&D and operation and distribution, so that the operation department can act as an agent for other companies’ games.

After the game operation part was dismantled, in addition to the current self-developed games by Huizhong, the first game of an external company that was first represented was the Chinese version of "Plants vs. Zombies"!

"Plants vs. Zombies" is a computer stand-alone strategy game developed by the well-known Seattle game company Baokai. In the past, this game was popular all over the world. In China alone, hundreds of millions of computer users have played this game, and it is the same in this life. Since the English version of this game was released in May of this year, it has become popular in the United States, but domestically, because of the lag of the Chinese version, it has not yet become popular.

Fang Zhe, who was originally a rebirth, also had the idea to let Huizhong develop its own two stand-alone computer games, including "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Angry Birds", which were popular all over the world, but later considered the release of these two games in previous lives. In time, Fang Zhe decided to give up.

The reason is that these two games are basically released this year, which means that their original producers have started this game a long time ago. In this case, if Huizhong makes these games hastily, it is easy to happen. The crash even led to legal cases such as plagiarism.

Like the mobile games or web games developed by Huizhong before, it will be a few years from the previous life. The original creator is unlikely to have the idea of ​​making these games, or it is developed by Huizhong itself, such as Huizhong. Although the theme of the games such as "Dazzling Superman" and "Happy Fun" is the same as that of the original games in the past, from the design to the content, Huizhong has achieved most of the originality.

Next to the upcoming "Fishing Man", Fang Zhe recruited Liu Qundu, the founder of its original company. "Temple Escape" is nothing more than borrowing the 3D parkour idea of ​​this project. Regardless of the art style or the gameplay, it is better than the original "Temple Escape" that was released only two years after the previous life.

From imitation to innovation, this is the way that Fang Zhe arranged for Huizhong's R&D department. If you have no experience and the foundation to innovate from the beginning, you probably won't know how to die.

In addition to the separation and independence of the copyright department and the game operation department, the other is the technical basic service department that developed the cocos2dx engine before. This project team has also been managed under the mobile game department before.

Now, the engine has been successfully developed and entered the full test stage and will be released soon. Therefore, Fang Zhe has also renamed it as the engine department separately, and will do a good job for its official release and the development of domestic mobile game rating standards and mobile game development solutions for Huizhong in the future. ready.
