Top of the big era

When it came to game cooperation, it was too confidential. Zhou Buqi didn't tell Zhu Jun much, at least not at the dinner table. It had to be done in secret tomorrow morning.

Next, let’s talk about football.

With an expert like Rangnick present, others have little say.

It's just that he spoke English, which Shi's father-in-law couldn't understand at all.

In addition to being the sporting director of Manchester United, Rangnick is also the sporting director of Zhou Buqi's entire football group. His main job is the transfer market.

Although he wears two hats, there is no contradiction. This is a working habit he formed when he was in Germany, which is to pay attention to outstanding young players around the world.

They are selected and trained according to their own tactical concepts, and then the players can be seamlessly transferred internally to several of its teams.

However, this approach no longer works in China.

The father-in-law of the Shi family is not engaged in football. He wants to develop his own real estate business through the influence and brand value of football. He cannot do things according to the rules of football.

According to normal football rules, the team must get stronger bit by bit, build a system and form a team, and then test the team through game after game, so as to identify and fill the gaps and introduce better players to fill them.

Zhou Buqi had originally planned this.

But this is too slow.

The father-in-law of the Shi family was very anxious.

If you want to achieve results quickly, of course there is a way, which is to introduce a few players with outstanding abilities in the most critical positions and rely on a few "superpowers" to drive the entire team.

The domestic requirements are basically a 4-foreign aid system, 3 foreign aids without nationality restrictions, and 1 Asian foreign aid. If it is the AFC Champions League, there can be one more foreign aid.

As far as the Taizun Football Team is concerned, Park Ji-sung is already an Asian foreign aid. Next, they will buy Paulinho as a defensive midfielder to guard the center; then they will introduce a Brazilian center to be responsible for attacking the city; and they will buy a wing attacker. , responsible for fixed-point blasting.

The team structure is complete.

In fact, it’s just taking shortcuts.

Zhou Buqi also had this understanding through foresight.

His attitude was relatively calm. He once had some hopes, but after acquiring the Magic City Real Estate team and entering the domestic football world... his heart became cold and he no longer had any hope.

After buying Manchester United, Zhou Buqi was particularly angry with the Premier League, English football, UEFA, and World Football Federation. He believed that these big guys in the football world controlled football and were rigid in thinking, slow in action, and unwilling to make progress. Relying on monopoly power, these professional football clubs are exploited unabashedly.

The giants in European football have joined forces to resist several times, and have been suppressed several times.

There is a general attitude of "we can exploit, but you cannot resist".

However, compared with domestic football, this really pales into insignificance.

After buying the Tai Zun team...

forget it!

Zhou Buqi doesn't want to hear any news about the Taizun team now. The Shi family's father-in-law is willing to take full responsibility, so let him do it...

Being quiet and avoiding those dirty things is better than anything else.

…

The next morning, Zhou Buqi went to Ninetowns headquarters and entered Zhu Jun's office.

"Oh, oh, oh, rare visitor, rare visitor!" Zhu Jun arranged for five or six beautiful female secretaries to come out and stand in two rows. The office was decorated with lights and colorful decorations full of Spring Festival elements. "Mr. Zhou is here to welcome you. Brilliance! The plum blossoms are radiant!"

Zhou Buqi nodded to the female secretaries, smiled, and said, "Happy New Year."

When he faced Zhu Jun, he wouldn't be so polite, "Stop doing this! Hurry up!"

Zhu Jun laughed and then sent these pretty female secretaries away.

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "How low has Jiucheng's stock price fallen? Are you still in the mood to do this?"

Zhu Jun was a little confused, "What did I do? I just welcome you."

"I'm talking about female secretaries!" Zhou Buqi snorted, "There are so many beautiful female secretaries in the office, what do you want to do? Entrepreneurs must look like entrepreneurs, be focused, and have self-control. !”

Zhu Jun was not in the mood to listen to his talk, and waved his hand, "Can I compete with you? You are the entrepreneur, and I am just a rich man. It's not enough for me to enjoy myself after making money... Forget it, don't talk about this, you can find it What's going on with me? It's so mysterious! I wasn't allowed to talk about it at the dinner table yesterday."

The two have a good personal relationship.

Zhu Jun is even more satisfied when it comes to official cooperation. His investment in Manchester United made him US$300 million in three years.

Zhou Buqi looked around and then hooked his hand. They both leaned sideways on the coffee table in the middle, and then whispered: "9towns used to represent EA's game "FIFAonline"."

Zhu Jun nodded, "Yes, I have been an agent. However, the market performance is not very good, and the contract has not expired, so I transferred it to Shanda. Shanda's operation is not very good. This game is almost boring, and the engine is too simple."

In name, "FIFAonline" is the online game version of "FIFA Football", but in fact it is a completely different game.

"FIFA Football" is a truly high-quality game, and the game graphics look like movie footage.

And the engine is complex.

Players can design a variety of game tactics during the game.

The same cannot be said for "FIFAonline". This is an online game. The limitation of network speed must be taken into consideration, so the data cannot be too large and the frame rate cannot be too high. As a result, the design of the game is actually very simple and the competition is the same.

"FIFAonline" is like a castrated version of "FIFA Football".

However, even the castrated version still has market demand.

It can’t be played in China, but in Europe, the Middle East, and South America, the online game version still has a large market. It can be more convenient to play online, and the requirements for machine configuration are not so high.

Especially the mobile version.

It is almost impossible to change a AAA-level high-quality game like "FIFA Football" into a mobile version because of not only configuration restrictions, but also various restrictions on mobile phone screens and touch screen operations.

This means that the mobile game version must be castrated.

In other words, the mobile version of "FIFA Football" will be more of a continuation of "FIFAonline" rather than a continuation of the stand-alone game "FIFA Football".

Of course this is also true when it comes to "Pro Evolution Soccer".

It is best to accumulate this kind of castration in game design and gameplay. In the future, Changyou will launch an online or mobile version of "Pro Evolution Soccer" to have a reference.

Zhou Buqi came here for this purpose and asked bluntly: "Where is the data? Is there a backup?"

Zhu Jun asked: What data?

Zhou Buqi glared at him, "Stop pretending! What data are you talking about?"

Zhu Jun really didn't understand, "Player data?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Ninetowns has represented "FIFAonline", and you have the complete code of this game. I don't believe you didn't keep it secretly!"
