hunt for programmers

Angrily, pinching the bridge of his nose, he nodded and said, "Just listen to you."

Lao Yang triumphantly snapped his fingers at everyone, and everyone cheered and began to pack their things and leave work.Cheng Jialin opened the travel website and began to think about where to take Xiao Ran to the suburbs for a change of mood.

In this season, the peach blossoms are the most beautiful, the temperature is the most suitable, and it is the best time for spring outing... If you can ignore the snow-like flying catkins.

However, when the snow flies in spring, what flies is the whiteness and softness of "snow", the tranquility and comfort of "snow", but Cheng Jialin and Lao Yang are looking at the layer upon layer outside the window in this warm and pleasant spring. Folded plain white, but what I feel is more piercingly cold than the flying snow in the cold winter months, until the coldness on the tip of the heart.

As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes, Cheng Jialin still couldn't take Xiao Ran out for a walk, but he completely changed his mood.

Just after he had discussed with Xiao Ran the night before and decided to go horseback riding in the suburbs, a phone call from Lao Yang came, like a thunderbolt from the blue, the "boom" exploded, and the day instantly turned dark and gloomy.

The company's temporary vacation was cancelled, but no one complained. They gathered around the round table in the meeting room, sitting upright, waiting for Cheng Jialin and Lao Yang to issue orders, so that they could shed their blood and tide over the difficulties with the company.

Yesterday, the leading game company in the province of G launched a parkour game in a high-profile way, and within minutes, Cheng Jialin and his company's game has reached a corner of the world, ranking top 50 on the two platforms. There is no trace of the name.

Xiao Li said angrily: "They are plagiarizing!"

There was silence all around, and no one responded to his righteous indignation.

What is plagiarism?

You said that the gameplay of other people's games is the same as yours?It's a joke, so many games, all of which operate in the same way, besides, their gameplay is not exactly the same as yours.

You said that the level plot of other games is similar to yours?Now, what's the use of that?You said it yourself "similar".

And the opening animation of their game is more attractive than yours, with more props than yours, and various VIP equipment that attract rich players... The most important thing is that their game screen is much more refined than your game times wow!

Plagiarism?Oh, what an illusory and ridiculous word.

Everyone made up their minds filled with grief and indignation, and finally had no choice but to smash Yin Fang and Xue Tun, and sadly accepted the reality.

Cheng Jialin discussed with Lao Yang and decided to add a few more new links. Before the players had completely forgotten about their game, they would use the game update to make their presence felt on the list again.

Lao Yang and him planned a few new gameplays overnight, and the next research and development tasks were handed over to Cheng Jialin, while he wandered among the major operating agents without touching the ground.

The spring breeze took small steps, hooked up the willow catkins in a leisurely manner, and between sunrise and sunset, a month passed in the blink of an eye.

However, Cheng Jialin and the others also stopped their painstaking efforts to catch up with the schedule.There is no other reason, their capital chain is broken.

During this month, Lao Yang poured almost all the money he could use into the bottomless black river of channel operation. After drifting for a while, they gradually died down. After a few symbolic bubbles, their game was completely stranded.

Lao Yang knew that it was because he couldn't pay the "tribute", and people were not willing to "escort" him, and even the investors didn't care to play with him—such a thankless waste of money How to play, who would foolishly play with you.

At this point, Lao Yang realized that his proud idea of ​​"I know this business very well" was just a self-deception, and the relationship between his desperate drinking at the wine table turned out to be nothing. He also kept it like a baby for so long.

He hypnotized himself several times and said that this is a joke made by God on him. After he sleeps, the joke will be over, and the fruit of success will still be hanging on the tree he has watered and grown up. No one has stolen it, nor has it been eaten by any bird.

reality

At dawn the next day, Lao Yang woke up from his self-hypnotized dream to the sound of his daughter who was less than one year old crying.

Before he could fully wake up from the dream, his gentle and virtuous wife had already got up and hugged the baby who was waiting to be fed, and said softly as she walked out: "Baby don't cry, dad is tired, let him sleep a little longer, good."

After a while, the dream slowly shattered with that gentle comforting sentence, and life quietly revealed its truest appearance. Lao Yang closed his eyes hard, and when he opened them again, his eyes were much firmer. .

Cheng Jialin took out the money that had been withdrawn before, and supported the finishing work of the game update, which can be regarded as a beginning and an end.

However, such a desperate move by them is doomed to fail to turn the tide. In just two months, their game data has gone from bad to worse, until it is horrible and irreversible.

No matter how good the idea and planning you have for a game, no matter how fast it runs, if there are no downloads, how can you live?Without promotion channels, no matter how many new games the company releases, this will be the same result.

Cheng Jialin also knew that channel operation is the foundation of the game, so when Xiao Ran introduced Wen Hao to him for the third time, he agreed to his proposal and agreed to meet Wen Hao with him.

In fact, Cheng Jialin didn't appear so gloomy during this period of time, it could even be said that he was as normal as before, but Xiao Ran became more and more worried when he saw his calmer face.He asked all the people in his address book who could talk one by one, but Wen Hao was the only one who could help him sincerely.

As Wen Hao said, there are specialties in the art industry, and he thinks that he can handle well among all kinds of people, but he has to admit that he is just an outsider in nature.It was also at this point that he fundamentally realized that the network resources he had accumulated through a computer, a phone, or only met a few times were really worthless.In normal times, seemingly like-minded people call each other brothers and sisters, but that's just a casual talk.

People's hearts are separated by belly, who really takes who seriously?

Xiao Ran probably expected this kind of situation. After all, he himself didn't pay much attention to managing such personal connections, so he didn't have much to say about such a result, and he didn't have so much energy to deal with everyone well. To cover everything.Today, the only thing to be thankful for is that there is another Wen Hao who can help them.

Xiao Ran's work efficiency is relatively fast, and this weekend he took Cheng Jialin and Lao Yang to the teahouse he had made an appointment with Wen Hao.

After meeting each other with a symbolic politeness, Wen Hao took the lead in expressing his attitude: "I heard Xiao Ran talk about your company's situation before, and I have also paid attention to your game. It is indeed a game with a novel theme. It's normal to stare at him, what are your plans now?"

Lao Yang really wanted to get angry, but he didn't want to do it in front of Wen Hao. It would be bad if others mistakenly thought he was showing his face. After thinking about it, he put on a constipated face and said weakly: "I know like A small company like ours can’t win a lawsuit against others, and a lawsuit will only cause trouble for ourselves. The biggest disadvantage for us right now is that we don’t have a strong channel relationship. Mr. Wen’s name is well-known in the industry. If Mr. Wen is willing to send charcoal in the snow Help us develop this relationship, I, Old Yang, will definitely be grateful."

Wen Hao turned the porcelain cup in his hand, and glanced at Xiao Ran who was facing him. After a pause, he put down the teacup, showed a sincere smile, and said pertinently: "Mr. Yang, you are welcome. Since I am here today I definitely want to help you, but I personally suggest that you stop wasting money and material resources on this game. You also know that the most indispensable thing in this circle is the endless stream of games. The obsession of this game is also extremely limited, now, looking at the data of your game, I think it is better to give up."

Lao Yang's eyes suddenly dimmed. Although it was true, he was still a little unwilling, and he said with a more serious tone, "I know, but I still have confidence in our game, and I want to play again." Fight it once."

Wen Hao shook his head slightly and said: "I really want to make friends like you, so I said this from the standpoint of friends and for your own good. I know you are not willing or convinced. It's me, and I will do the same. Every game is like my own child. No matter how useless it is, I will not give up. Everyone can understand this feeling, but the reality can't tolerate us being emotional. Why are you here? How about hitting your own feet with stones when you fall?"

What he said was reasonable, and his attitude was sincere. Lao Yang immediately leaned against the back of his chair like a deflated balloon, speechless for a moment.

Wen Hao looked at the wilting Lao Yang, raised his hand to add a cup of tea to him, and said gently, like comforting an old friend: "Mr. Yang is so talented, are you afraid that there will be no future in the future? As long as there is another new product, A comeback is just around the corner."

Lao Yang sat up straight, held up his teacup, first thanked Wen Hao, and then said with a more sad face: "It's not easy to conceive a new game. Besides, even if you have an idea, it won't last long with our current financial strength."
