Rebirth: I just wanted to study hard, but I became a scumbag

With the release of Xiaomi 2, the popularity of the game "Honor of Kings" has once again skyrocketed.

It took a long time for major mobile game manufacturers to gradually get a taste of it.

However, now the mobile gaming circle is dominated by YY Games.

Others wanted to get involved, but they were unable to do so.

The worst thing is the penguins.

Not only did they lose their previous territory in the mobile game market.

Even Q Xin was beaten until he was unable to fight back.

Today, WeChat has successfully surpassed YY and QQ and become the largest instant messaging software in China.

If it were the past, Mr. Xiao Ma would definitely not be able to swallow this bad breath in vain.

But he knew Su Ze's temper very well.

The two of them have been fighting each other for so long, and Xiao Ma has never always won less and lost more.

If he clings to his remaining market share, he will only lose more miserably.

Nanshan, Penguin Group headquarters.

Mr. Xiao Ma called the person in charge of the game department to the office.

"During this period of time, your department should not release any new games."

As soon as he came up, Xiao Ma always had a non-committal tone.

The person in charge of the mobile game department looked embarrassed.

After all, they have been working overtime for more than two months.

We are constantly developing and testing new mobile games.

As a result, it was forcibly stopped before it could be put on the shelves.

Not to mention that he felt uncomfortable, it would probably be uncomfortable for anyone else.

And it’s not just a matter of wasted effort.

Penguin's company system is to issue bonuses and performance based on departmental assessments.

If by the end of the year, the revenue level of the mobile game department fails to meet the company's requirements.

Their entire department will be kicked out of Penguin.

But Mr. Pony's decision will not change because of these.

In fact, as the head of the mobile game department, he also knows that President Xiao Ma's decision is good for the company.

The market performance of Honor of Kings is simply too strong, and they are unable to replicate it in a short period of time.

Therefore, the only option is to avoid the edge temporarily.

Killing the mobile game department was also a painful decision made by Penguin Gecko with his tail cut off.

"Okay, Mr. Ma."

The person in charge of the mobile game department hesitated for a long time before finally nodding and agreeing.

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Xiao Ma said: "There are no assessment indicators for the mobile game department this year."

"The bonuses and performance at the end of the year will be paid according to the previous year's level. I will go back and tell everyone that you have worked hard."

The person in charge of the mobile game department immediately bowed excitedly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ma!"

"Go."

Although President Xiao Ma is a shrewd businessman, he also knows that he can only make more money if the people below him are willing to work for him.

The employees in the mobile game department are actually very good.

Even if it's not as good as the group of people under Su Ze, it's not much different.

Penguin will definitely continue to develop mobile games in the future.

Therefore, it is not a waste to reserve talents for the company in advance.

After the head of the mobile game department left.

Immediately afterwards, the person in charge of the online game department walked in.

"Mr. Ma, what are your instructions?"

Compared with the sad-looking head of the mobile game department, his face is much cheerful.

After all, the performance of League of Legends is attributed to their department.

And even the yy game, which is in full swing, has not been able to come up with any game that can compare with League of Legends.

The explosive sales of Dota 2 a while ago have had a certain impact on the popularity of League of Legends.

But as various shortcomings of Dota 2 were exposed, League of Legends became more popular than before.

President Xiao Ma has praised their department at company meetings more than once.

It is expected that by the end of this year, the bonuses and performance of employees in their department will exceed 100 million per person.

In 09, this level of income was definitely among the best in the industry.

"Have you seen the recent market response to King of Glory?" Mr. Pony asked.

The person in charge of the online games department nodded immediately: "I saw it, the performance is very strong."

"However, this cannot be blamed on the lack of strength of our people, but on the fact that our opponents are too powerful."

The online game department and the mobile game department are both game departments belonging to Penguin.

People on both sides look down without looking up, and some employees are shared by both sides.

So it makes sense to help and say a few kind words at this juncture.

"You don't need to tell me this."

Mr. Pony was waiting for him with sharp eyes: "I hope you can launch a new online game within half a year."

“I don’t care about anything else, but we must strive to ensure quality!”

"Since players have said that Penguin does not have the ability to develop its own games, we will prove it this time and show it to everyone."

After saying these words, the person in charge of the online game department instantly became excited.

He eagerly said: "Mr. Ma, actually we have had this idea for a long time!"

"Even the project has been drawn up! I originally wanted to wait until the end of the year for you to take a look."

"Since you need to get on the horse immediately, let's make preparations now!"

Pony always showed an excited look.

"Okay! The time is right, the place is right, and the people are right! This time I must kill them and leave no one behind!"

The person in charge of the online games department bowed to take orders.

Then, he stumbled back to his work station.

"I would like to announce that the 'Dark Journey to the West' project has just passed President Pony's review."

"And this was appointed by him. There is no upper limit on the investment budget!"

"Everyone has to show their true abilities this time, otherwise no one will get the year-end bonus!"

As soon as these words came out, the colleagues present jumped up excitedly.

Back then, they were also among the best, top talents who had participated in various provincial competitions and even international competitions!

As a result, after arriving at Penguin, I did some boring work every day.

In fact, they are fully capable of creating a high-quality original game.

Unfortunately, Penguin's top management has always been unwilling to delegate power.

This time they will seize the opportunity to give those so-called business elites a small technological shock.

"Boss, what's the name of the game?"

"I can write the project board!"

The beautiful administrative assistant next to her asked the head of the online games department with a happy face.

"Didn't we discuss this before?"

"It's called 'God of War'!"

"This name sounds grand!"

……

News of the Penguin project quickly reached Su Ze’s ears.

In the business world, it is difficult to avoid causing such big news without causing it.

Just like the original King of Glory, Penguin, Baidu, NetEase... almost all of them have been heard of.

It’s just that the decision-makers of various companies at the time believed that there was no market for this kind of game in the current environment.

Who would spend a lot of money on a high-end mobile phone just to play a mobile game?

Even if they later learned about Su Ze's efforts in game optimization, everyone still didn't take it seriously.

After all, the investment has already reached hundreds of millions before the game is even released.

If it suddenly dies after going online, then the shareholders below will be crazy.
