Chapter 1262 President Pei's Serendipitous Game Design Method
"First, we are very familiar with the internal operations of IOI, and very familiar with the behavior patterns of the Dyaak Group and Finger Company. Therefore, when we encounter some events, we can better predict the movements of IOI."
"Of course, Boss Pei can too, but after all, Boss Pei is busy and can't always keep an eye on IOI's actions."
"We know IOI very well, and we also know GOG very well, so when the two games compete, we can especially target each other's weaknesses, continue to maintain GOG's comprehensive suppression of IOI, and even expand it!"
"Second, we have more experience in the coordination of large teams."
"At present, the entire GOG project team basically maintains the model from its initial establishment, and the person in charge has absolute control."
"The advantage of this model is that it is efficient, responds quickly, and is more likely to achieve victory in fierce competition."
"But its disadvantage is that with the expansion of business and the increase of personnel, the workload of the person in charge will continue to accumulate, and under huge work pressure, it is difficult for him to handle problems in all aspects, and it is easy to make mistakes."
"In the future, assuming that GOG defeats IOI and becomes the only winner in the MOBA game field, then the entire GOG project team will inevitably continue to grow and the number of people will increase."
"In this case, the original efficient model will no longer be suitable, and the pace must be slowed down, inevitably moving towards the institutionalized model of large companies."
"And we can use our experience, combined with the previous work model of the GOG project team, to gradually develop a new model that takes into account both efficiency and institutionalization, to better adapt to the work requirements of the new era!"
"So, this is the deep meaning of Boss Pei digging us two up!"
Eric's analysis was comprehensive, and combined with Boss Pei's previous series of actions, it was quite convincing.
Zhao Xuming listened in sudden realization, nodding frequently.
Indeed!
He felt that he couldn't compare to Min Jingchao in any aspect, but only in his understanding of IOI, he was much stronger than Min Jingchao!
After all, Min Jingchao's main energy was focused on studying GOG, and he didn't have the time or the need to study IOI in depth.
If you want to further target IOI, who is more suitable than Zhao Xuming and Eric, the two former IOI operations managers?
Why did many monarchs in history attach special importance to rebel generals? It was because these rebel generals knew their enemies very well and could provide very useful information.
In dealing with IOI, Eric and Zhao Xuming could be more ruthless than Min Jingchao!
What? Show mercy to the old employer?
That's impossible. It's precisely because it's the old employer that we have to be ruthless!
Otherwise, wouldn't it prove that the previous failures were not the old employer's fault, but his own fault?
Moreover, from a long-term perspective, gradually integrating two different management models is also an inevitable path.
This is the difference between so-called "conquering the country" and "governing the country," one emphasizing offense and the other emphasizing defense.
On the eve of victory, Min Jingchao, who was good at fighting, was transferred away to continue his new journey; then Eric and Zhao Xuming, who were relatively better at governance, were replaced to prepare for the upcoming unification.
Eric continued, "So, the handover of work is so hasty, there is a reasonable explanation."
"Boss Pei's attitude is actually hinting to us that the work model should not be completely copied from Min Jingchao. For the previous work model, we should learn more about it, understand it thoroughly, and not blindly inherit it completely."
"If the handover time is too long, such as half a year, then our way of thinking will definitely be changed, and it will be difficult to change back."
"The current handover time seems to be very short, but in fact, when we encounter problems, we can always consult other people in the project team, and it will not restrict our thinking, which is just right."
Zhao Xuming nodded suddenly, he was not flustered.
Hearing Eric's eloquent words, he was completely relieved, and he also found a way to pass the buck.
Although the two are responsible for overseas business and domestic business respectively, Zhao Xuming can completely copy and paste!
When Eric does it, Zhao Xuming will do it.
This is definitely not plagiarism, this is called linkage, this is called treating everyone equally, this is called a global game.
Anyway, Eric will definitely be ruthless against IOI in the world. Zhao Xuming will copy his homework. With GOG's current dominant position in China, the effect will definitely not be bad.
Usually, he will make suggestions and let Eric adopt them. One makes suggestions and the other makes decisions, how perfect.
Okay, the feeling of a golden partner is back!
Zhao Xuming was very happy: "Okay, then let's start preparing for the event. The 1024 Digital Festival is coming soon, we must have a big event and grab a wave of players!"
He had to let Boss Pei see that it was of great value to dig up the two of them at such a great cost!
...
At the same time, Pei Qian and Min Jingchao were already on a plane to Yangcheng.
They were going to arrange a new game for Tianhuo Studio! (Skyfire Studio)
In fact, Longyu Group and Tianhuo Studio did not urge them, but just hoped that Boss Pei could take the time to go there as soon as possible, without setting a time limit.
The main reason was that they did not dare to urge him.
Game design is a purely creative thing. Sometimes the overall design is good, but a small flaw may ruin the entire plan.
If Boss Pei was upset, what if Boss Pei deliberately left a pit in the design plan?
Although everyone felt that Boss Pei would not be such a person without integrity, it was better to have less trouble than more trouble. It was best to work together to make games and make money.
Of course, they were completely overthinking it.
Because Pei Qian himself could not predict what state the game he designed would eventually become.
He was very clear about this in his heart.
Designing for the worse might be successful, and designing for the better might be a failure, and vice versa.
Since the design is completely irrelevant to the final result... then it is meaningless for Pei Qian to secretly make small moves. This thing is completely up to fate.
Pei Qian's idea was that since everyone has reached an agreement, then I will just design it for you according to the normal process in Tengda.
Whether this game makes money or not depends entirely on your character.
If you make money, it's your good luck. If you can't make money, don't blame me. I tried my best.
Therefore, go early and return early.
Min Jingchao did not show any complaints about no longer being in charge of GOG.
He was a little surprised at first, but he had figured it out in the past two days.
If it were in another company, with the achievements he had made in GOG, he would probably have continued to do it for the rest of his life.
But Tengda is not an ordinary company.
Anyone who has made a career in their position will be transferred by Boss Pei to other places.
Because the training gained in the same position is repetitive, and the people in charge constantly do repetitive and similar work, and the improvement is not great.
Although this allows various projects to develop steadily, it is a bit of a waste of talent after all.
In the later stage, the business ability of the person in charge will no longer be improved, and all that is improved is management ability.
But obviously, not all people in charge need such strong management ability, and not all people in charge are good at management.
Boss Pei obviously wanted to train all the people in charge to become all-rounders, so that Min Jingchao could continue to go further on the road of designers, instead of locking himself in GOG early.
After Eric and Zhao Xuming were brought in, the work on GOG was handed over, and Min Jingchao naturally had to meet greater challenges.
This time to Yangcheng, Min Jingchao heard Boss Pei say that he was going to help Tianhuo Studio design a game.
He was both looking forward to and nervous about this.
Boss Pei seemed to want to train every core member of Tengda's game department into a gold medal designer, but Min Jingchao only had relevant work experience in GOG, and had not really led the development of a game himself.
Fortunately, he was an old employee and dealt with Hu Xianbin every day, so he was very clear about how to improve Boss Pei's creativity and how to analyze Boss Pei's design intentions, so this job should be fine and not too difficult.
However, what is the working environment of Tianhuo Studio? Can they cooperate well with my work?
This is also a question.
The seats in business class can lie flat, which is very comfortable. With nothing to do, Min Jingchao wanted to ask Boss Pei a little about his work after arriving at Tianhuo Studio.
What specific games to make? Does Boss Pei have any special requirements for himself? What should I do if I encounter some unexpected situations?
After all, Boss Pei will finalize the game plan and return to Jingzhou, and he will have to stay in Yangcheng for a few months until the game is developed before he can come back.
It is best to ask clearly in advance, otherwise it will be more troublesome to call and ask later.
"Boss Pei, what is my main job there? Also, the working hours and the overall development process... are they based on the situation of Tianhuo Studio, or on our situation?"
"How much effort should I put in for them?"
The question of how much effort to put in is not to say that Min Jingchao wants to be lazy, but mainly to figure out the importance of this project.
If Boss Pei values it very much and it is a very strategic behavior, then he must put in all his effort and try to make it perfect.
If there are some problems with Tianhuo Studio, then he has to find ways to solve them.
But if this matter is not very important, or if Boss Pei doesn't plan to make this game too profitable at all, then Min Jingchao doesn't have to spend so much effort. He can just do his job well. As for whether the game will be successful or not, it's not up to one person to decide anyway.
Pei Qian thought for a while: "Well... of course, it's according to Tengda's rhythm."
"How is it here, how is it there, if there is a problem, go to Zhou Muyan and let his people cooperate with you unconditionally."
"Including holidays and rest, these must also be in line with Tengda, don't tire yourself."
For Pei Qian, this was an experiment, of course, he had to completely follow Tengda's routine.
If the routine is twisted, half of it is developed according to Tengda's method, and the other half is developed according to Tianhuo Studio's method, then the final result will have no reference value at all!
Because it is impossible to distinguish what factors are the reasons for success and what factors are the reasons for failure.
Moreover, Pei Qian just wanted to fulfill his promise, and success or failure depends entirely on God's will, so he would not give Min Jingchao any hard and fast requirements.
Moreover, he cannot let this "poverty alleviation" ruin the salted fish spirit that he has worked so hard to cultivate.
What if Min Jingchao becomes a workaholic after working overtime? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
He is already so harmful in the salted fish state, wouldn't it be even more impossible to deal with if he becomes a workaholic?
Therefore, the process should be what it is, it cannot be changed, and there is no need to change it.
Min Jingchao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Anyway, it is equivalent to Tengda opening a new department and recruiting a new batch of people for development!
The only thing to pay attention to is to ensure his control over the entire project, so that everyone cooperates with him unconditionally without any doubt. If there is anyone who does not cooperate, just say hello to Zhou Muyan and kick him out.
Anyway, with Boss Pei supporting him, what is there to be afraid of?
