“President Xu, isn’t giving hero weapons a little too extravagant?”
Ding Xiaomei objected.
No one else knew, but she knew that Jumping the Line of Fire had only been released for less than a month, and it was in its peak period. There was still a large rise path. Giving out hero weapons at this time would probably affect the sale of hero weapons in the future.
“It’s not extravagant. It’s not extravagant at all.”
“What if the players receive hero weapons and don’t buy them in the future?” Ding Xiaomei asked again.
Xu Zhi smiled.
“Ding Xiaomei, you still have to catch up on your lessons when you go back, especially when you read psychology books. I can tell you that after we give out hero weapons for three days, more people will buy them. This is actually not difficult to understand. It’s just like the taste test in the mall. Think about it carefully.”
In fact, after Jumping the Line of Fire came online, Xu Zhi had long wanted to give away hero weapons. He had never had a good opportunity. This time, he could use the launch of UU to kill two birds with one stone.
“By the way, the other departments can not stay idle either. We have to do our best to help. After the launch of UU tomorrow, I’m sure everyone will be a little tired.” Xu Zhi looked at the directors and said.
All the directors sitting down repeatedly agreed.
“Okay, the second thing.”
Picking up the newly written plan for Ghost’s Dream 2, Xu Zhi glanced at He Wei, then turned his head and said, “Colleagues, although we don’t plan to develop new games in the near future, I think that if we reheat the previous game, not only will it be simple, but the effect will be very good. Just like Ghost’s Dream, I feel that this is a very good game. We can try to develop Ghost’s Dream 2.”
“Ghost’s Dream 2?”
The planning department head, He Wei, stood up.
“President Xu, are you saying that we are going to develop Ghost’s Dream 2?”
“That’s right. I have already written down a lot of related ideas. You can take a look at them later. Of course, we are just putting forward a plan now and are not in a hurry to implement it. Actually, I only have one request for Ghost’s Dream 2. It’s the ultra-high-definition graphics quality!”
“Ultra-high-definition graphics quality?” He Wei was a little confused again.
When Xu Zhi was developing Jumping the Line of Fire previously, he had very low requirements for graphics quality. Why did Ghost’s Dream 2 want to pursue high graphics quality instead?
“Yes, it’s ultra-high-definition graphics quality. My request is that at this stage, you can make the graphics quality as high as you can. It’s best if every blade of grass and every tree has a texture. You guys can go down and try making this first, and we can observe from there.”
“Okay, I understand, President Xu.”
He Wei took Xu Zhi’s document on the idea of Ghost’s Dream 2 and planned to read it after the meeting ended.
“Alright, I’ll say a few more words at the end.”
Xu Zhi could see that many people were puzzled and planned to give them a little more.
“As a game company, we must grasp the extent of our understanding of the audience players of the game. For example, Jumping the Line of Fire is a shooting game. Its main focus was entertainment and social networking, so it didn’t matter if the graphics is clear or not. Even if it was a little rough, as long as the core game was there, there was no need to worry about players not playing it. As for Ghost’s Dream, it’s a Wuxia-themed game. If we want to develop Ghost’s Dream 2, we have to understand who was playing Ghost’s Dream 1.”
“Just like the saying goes, everyone has a martial arts dream. Of course, this doesn’t work in the real world. Swords are primitive weapons, so we can only look for them in the virtual world.”
“The reason why our company’s Ghost Dream is so popular is precisely that it captures the psychology of these people. They love martial arts and want to realize their dreams in a virtual world. So, our Ghost’s Dream 2 is to fulfill their dreams. We have made the quality of the images extremely high-definition. Not only are we not raising the bar, but we are also extending a welcoming hand to them. Of course, there may be some problems with the computers in internet cafes not being able to run the game properly, but it’s not a big deal. This is not our target group.”
In Xu Zhi’s view, with the current development of Bluestar, the level of computer development had actually reached a bottleneck. There was no qualitative breakthrough.
Based on his experience in his previous life, the next step of development would be to shift the focus to mobile phones. Mobile phones would become people’s second computers.
Of course, at this stage, Bluestar was still groping forward, but it would not be long.
“Alright, that’s it for today. Everyone, dismissed,” Xu Zhi exhaled and said.
After Xu Zhi finished speaking, the subordinates slowly dispersed. Beside Hong Wu, Xu Zhi’s newly recruited Wang Xiangliang moved closer to him.
“Director Hong, can you send me a copy of UU?”
“Oh, this… sure.”
Although he did not know what Wang Xiangliang wanted a copy of UU for, it was going to be released into the market tomorrow. There was no need to keep this software a secret.
After sending the compressed package over, Hong Wu turned around and went back to his work.
Xu Zhi wanted to release UU into the market tomorrow. This required Hong Wu to do a lot of work. He was busy today.
Wang Xiangliang had long heard about UU in the R&D department, but he had been doing anti-cheating for the past few days, so he did not pay much attention to it. When he heard from Xu Zhi that the software would be launched tomorrow, he was suddenly curious, so he asked Hong Wu for this software.
For a technical expert like Wang Xiangliang, when a piece of software made him curious, he could not wait even an hour, let alone a day.
After installing UU, Wang Xiangliang focused his attention on it.
The more he looked, the more uneasy Wang Xiangliang’s eyes became. He did not expect Xu Zhi to be so ambitious. Although this software mainly focused on game voice, in Wang Xiangliang’s view, this software had a kind of potential, a kind of potential to challenge TT.
Of course, if this was said out loud, anyone who heard it would laugh.
TT was the instant messaging software developed by Bluestar Walrus. It had been nine years since it was launched, and it accounted for 95% of the instant messaging software. It was a true giant.
Countless software had challenged it before, but the communication software TT’s moat was too deep, and none of them had succeeded.
However, looking at this UU. Wang Xiangliang felt that Xu Zhi’s point of entry was not bad, it was really not bad.
He had previously done plug-ins and played games, so there was a need for voice calls in the game. Moreover, now that Jumping the Line of Fire was so popular, if Xu Zhi could use it to launch the UU, he might be able to unify the game’s voice market. After that, there was a lot he could do.
However, at this moment, Wang Xiangliang did not want to think about it anymore. Looking at this UU, he could feel that Xu Zhi was playing a big game, and he did not know what Xu Zhi wanted.
Speaking of which, the reason why he was willing to join Dream Game Company was that he was moved by Xu Zhi. Secondly, prison food was not that delicious. Xu Zhi found him and was willing to give him a chance. In addition, his attitude was sincere. He had no reason to refuse.
However, at this moment, Wang Xiangliang could not see through Xu Zhi.
Wang Xiangliang felt that he seemed to have become a chess piece in Xu Zhi’s hands..
