Recast youth

Chapter 859 The ruthless face of capitalists
Yanjing.

Changxing Time and Space Network Technology Co., Ltd.'s business scope is game development and operation. In the office area, more than 30 employees are working. Wang Baolin and Li Chenglie are discussing the plot development of the game.

What they are developing is a large-scale online online game with Journey to the West as the background. They came out of Lanshan Company with great efforts.

Who doesn’t want to make a new start in a new company after changing jobs?
After many discussions with Li Chenglie and others, we finally decided to develop a multiplayer online game based on Journey to the West.

At this moment, Chen Yiming and Yang Yanhui walked in.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Yang."

Wang Baolin, Li Chenglie and others shouted.

Yang Yanhui nodded, took the cigarette powder and gave it to Wang Baolin and others, then walked over, looked at the character model and skill settings on Li Chenglie's computer screen, and asked Wang Baolin with a smile: "How is the game development? Already?"

"The background and races of the game have been set, including humans, demons, and fairies."

Wang Baolin said to Yang Yanhui with great interest: "Now it's time to write the game engine and model the game. I plan to wait for the game framework to be released and then find an artist to help me draw pictures. Mr. Yang, the game I am developing is based on Journey to the West." There are several advantages to creating a game based on the background. First, the author of Journey to the West passed away hundreds of years ago, so there are no copyright disputes.

Second, using the background of Journey to the West as the main theme of the game is highly developable. Just from NetEase's "Westward Journey" and "Fantasy Westward Journey", as well as Lanshan Company's web game "Westward Journey", we can see how powerful the background of Journey to the West is. It is popular, mainly because people of this generation in China are too familiar with Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang obtained the scriptures, followed by the three disciples, Difficulties of Nine-Nine 81, Xitian obtained the scriptures, if the game is developed, it will be friendly to new players It will be very high.

Third, the skills and game settings are also ready-made. You can learn from mythological classics and some prehistoric novels, such as Fantian Seal, Zhangliu Golden Body, Bronze Beard Sky Eye and so on. "

Having said this, Wang Baolin paused and continued: "When the time comes, we will add some originality to it, and the game will be complete. There will be free-for-alls between players, which can stimulate consumption, and the playability is also very high. By then, the profit will not be What's the problem? We'll find a few more people to take care of it when the time comes..."

"I don't know much about games."

Yang Yanhui interrupted Wang Baolin with a smile, and said with a smile: "The main thing I want is a report. So, tell me, how long will it take for the online game you mentioned with Journey to the West as the background to be developed? "

Wang Baolin thought for a while and said: "Background setting and race setting will save some time. From research and development to internal testing, and then to the official launch of public beta operation, it should take one and a half to two years."

Yang Yanhui frowned: "It takes so long?"

"The main reason is that there are no ready-made templates, so we have to write the programs ourselves."

Wang Baolin also knew that they were laymen, and felt a little unhappy. However, because he was short-handed, Wang Baolin explained: "It takes such a long time to develop online games now, such as art, game maps, mini-maps, animations, props, and characters. Full body image, these belong to the graphics engine, not to mention the sound engine, physics engine, artificial intelligence and game logic, game GUI interface, network engine development that supports multiplayer online..."

The more Yang Yanhui listened, the more he felt confused. He asked him why game development took so long. After talking so much, Yang Yanhui gave Chen Yiming a look.

"Paulin."

Chen Yiming smiled and hugged Wang Baolin's shoulders: "Let's talk in the office."

Wang Baolin didn't think much and followed Chen Yiming to the office. The office space was very large, more than 20 square meters, with a desk and computers, or two, one Apple and one desktop computer.

In a place like Yanjing, where land is at a premium, having an office of more than 20 square meters is quite impressive.

When Wang Baolin first arrived in Yanjing, he went to the window sill and looked down at the old city of Yanjing. He felt a sense of ambition to reach a higher level. The most important thing was that this company had 20% of his shares.

"Do you know how much you've spent now?"

When he arrived at the office, Chen Yiming lit a cigarette and looked at Wang Baolin with a neutral expression: "Including the 150 million you took away, you have already spent 400 million on me..."

Wang Baolin interrupted Chen Yiming: "Mr. Chen, I haven't spent the money frivolously. When we bring people here, I will always give them settlement expenses so that they have no worries. The remaining money will be used to rent office space and purchase office desks." , computers, these all cost money, and the development of online games already requires costs. How can there be no cost to develop online games? "

Wang Baolin was a little unhappy.Like developing large-scale online games, which game does not require more than 3000 to [-] million?
Chen Yiming was interrupted and was not annoyed. He smiled, but the smile was a bit superficial: "Money is not the problem. The key point is that you don't seem to understand why I invited you here." Yes, I came here to ask you to make money for me, but you told me that the game will take two years. How much money will I invest for you in two years? 2000 million, 3000 million, in case your game does not make money. What? Did I spend money to buy you a dream?"

"Mr. Chen, it's boring for you to say that. If we can cooperate together, we can cooperate. If we can't, forget it. There's no need to say it so harshly, right?" Wang Baolin's face darkened.

"Are you trying to make trouble with me? What are you doing? Is it that easy to just run away after spending my money? Don't put that stinky face in front of me. Let me tell you, this game in your hand will I’ll cut it off because the two-year R&D cycle is too long.”

Chen Yiming walked up to Wang Baolin, stretched out his foot and kicked Wang Baolin in the stomach.

Wang Baolin's blood surged from being kicked, and he clutched his stomach and glared at Chen Yiming: "I quit."

"It's okay to quit."

Chen Yiming sneered: "Then you should be prepared to pay liquidated damages. By the way, let me tell you, we signed a 10-year buyout contract, plus the 150 million you took in advance, it will all be taken into account. It will be 5 times the breach of contract." Jin, you will probably compensate the company more than 1000 million yuan. If you don’t believe me, you can check your contract.”

"impossible."

Wang Baolin didn't believe it at all. The contract was in his desk. He took it out and looked at it. It turned out that the additional payment on the contract had liquidated damages written on it. However, Wang Baolin didn't believe that there could be more than 1000 million liquidated damages. He simply didn't believe it. illegal.

Chen Yiming laughed: "You don't believe it, right? Let me tell you, there are publicity expenses involved. The company has invested a lot of publicity expenses for you."

Wang Baolin glared at Chen Yiming: "When did you publicize it?"

"I say there is."

Chen Yiming said with a smile on his face: "If you don't believe me, you can give it a try and see if I can make you unable to stand up in ten years and unable to work in other companies. 150 million and 20% of the company's shares are not so good." take?"

Wang Baolin was extremely angry, but his heart felt like falling into an ice hole, sinking infinitely, knowing that the other party had set a trap for him in the contract from the beginning.

"Why are you still arguing?"

At this time, Yang Yanhui opened the door and walked in, asking "surprised". Then he knew that Chen Yiming had beaten someone, so he said a few words to Chen Yiming, and then comforted Wang Baolin.

"Paulin, you can't blame him. After millions of dollars have been thrown down, you have to give us a break, right?"

After Yang Yanhui comforted Wang Baolin, he began to persuade: "And the two-year development cycle is indeed too long. Isn't there a faster way? I think the development of "Fire Line Assault" is quite fast. It seems to be online in half a year." Now, isn’t it running very well now? There are still quite a lot of players playing shooting games in China. In this way, if you develop another shooting game based on "Fire Line Assault", you are familiar with it. If you need money, I will give you money. , if you need people, I will give you people, and you can imitate a multiplayer online shooting game for me.”

Wang Baolin couldn't help but said: "This will lead to lawsuits."

"It's okay. Please change it. Just don't call it "Fire Line Assault". Isn't it also a pirated version of "Counter-Strike"? You can call it "Special Assault", "Jedi Strike Back", and other products from Lanshan Company." You can also imitate some small games. There are ready-made games on the market. Why go to the trouble of developing your own games? It is time-consuming and labor-intensive and may not lead to success. The laws and regulations regarding online games are not perfect now, so be careful to avoid them. Just click. Don’t you want to make a game with the background of Journey to the West? Or develop a web game. Lanshan Company calls it “Journey to the West”, but you can call it “Journey to the West”. It’s very simple.”

Yang Yanhui was doing Wang Baolin's ideological work. As for developing games, he didn't have the time to dig for them. He originally dug Wang Baolin here to plant trees for his predecessors to enjoy the shade.

What he wants is to make money quickly and see profits quickly. As long as they can spread the company's stall layout, they can copy the Lanshan Company, and the lawsuit will not matter.

Just hit it slowly.

If they lose the case, they will appeal and delay it for a while. By the time the final judgment comes down, they have already completed the layout and are qualified to play in the capital market. As for such a small amount of compensation, it is not painful at all. Then Wang Baolin will be declared to have violated professional ethics. , just kick him out. This is also the rule of the game in the capital market. There are always only benefits and results.

Wang Baolin's heart sank to the bottom of his heart, but when he thought of the high liquidated damages, he was unable to fight.

Chen Yiming was smoking a cigarette on the side, and looked at Wang Baolin, who was brainwashed by Yang Yanhui, with a sneer on his lips. It was a beautiful idea. Give you money, give you shares, and let you develop games. How can there be a free lunch in the world?What money can come faster than plagiarism?
