Chapter 145
Echoes from Tomorrow: A Rebirth Saga Novel Chapter 145
Zachary Cheng had seen the game made by Wei Bo, and he thought this person was a talent.
The technology is definitely fine, and the ideas are good, even a little ahead of their time.
It's just not in line with the market.
He is a bit similar to Michael Shen. It can be said that they are a crouching dragon and a phoenix, except that Wei Bo specializes in the big pits of the virtual economy, while Michael Shen specializes in the big pits of the real economy.
When they do business, they are still in a kind of "self-exposed", a kind of self-output, but they do not consider the market environment and customer needs at all.
If you're just entertaining yourself, that's fine. But if you want to make money, you have to respect the market, right?
What mobile games have everyone been playing in the past few years?
These are some "little games" that everyone thought about later.
These days, the ones that dominate are "Defend Carrot", "Temple Run", "Fruit Ninja", "Plants vs. Zombies", "Rhythm Master", "Tiantian Cool Run", "Happy Xiaole" and so on.
Or it's an online game that was very popular for a while, and some mobile game versions were released.
Zachary Cheng's first consideration must be the market environment and adapting to this era.
At the same time, you should also consider your own personal abilities and the game development abilities of ordinary college students.
He didn't study computers in his previous life. In this life, he wanted to learn more while he was young, so he chose to change his major.
As a freshman, he was pretty bad at it, and he had some shitty personal skills.
What he is currently better at is actually operations and layout.
You resurrected your life and were ambitious. In 2014, you formed a grassroots team at the University of Science and Technology in Hangzhou. When your brain got the better of you, you started spending money on making "Honor of Kings" and fighting chicken. That's a real fool.
Zachary Cheng chose "Sheep Makes a Sheep" after careful consideration and after considering various current situations.
Many years later, when so many large-scale mobile games are popular, a low-cost game like "Sheep" suddenly breaks out and becomes popular all over the Internet during that period. It must be the right time, right place, and right location. People and those within.
After all, the entire environment during that period was also special, and the name of the game seemed even more unusual at that time.
Speaking of which, it is blessed with luck.
But it’s 2014 now. If you put “Sheep, a Sheep” into these games that were popular in 2013 and 14, there would be no sense of incompatibility at all!
You can't deny your past just because you're used to playing some of the later large-scale mobile games. In 2013 or 2014, you could probably play "Temple Run", "Defend Carrot", "Fruit Ninja", and "Happy Match" for several hours at a time.
Their gameplay is obviously very monotonous, but you just enjoy it.
Strictly speaking, "Sheep" seems to be more in line with this era. It is essentially an "old-fashioned" game that suddenly became popular.
"But in 2014, this is not old-fashioned. This is following the trend and innovating within the trend." That's what Zachary Cheng thought anyway.
What’s the point of worrying about how it became popular in 2022? What’s the point of always worrying about what level of game it is among the 22-year-old games?
It’s not 22 years now, it’s fucking 14 years now, old man!
I don’t know how popular Locust Tears are at the moment.
At this moment, Wei Bo heard Zachary Cheng say that the game he made was rubbish. He was stunned at first, and then felt incredible.
No, you have laid so much groundwork, I thought you were going to praise me so much!
Just when he was about to say something, Zachary Cheng started talking, talking about the many pain points of his game in the current mobile game market, as well as the immaturity of his personal ideas.
Denying both his project and him as a person is a bitch.
Boy, don't run away, I'm going to start PUA on you!
But to be honest, what Zachary Cheng said was indeed the actual situation.
Zachary Cheng is definitely going to win this Wei Bo!
In his opinion, if you ask this kind of person to be the boss of a project or the leader, it will definitely not work.
But taking him under my wing, working well under me, and obeying my leadership is definitely a right-hand man!
Technical talents can just work on technology with peace of mind, okay?
Being able to win prizes in college competitions and being able to make money in the market are completely different things.
Wei Bo sat there, feeling like a light on his back, a pain in his throat, and a lump in his throat.
He opened his mouth several times, wanting to refute.
At the same time, a surge of anger arose in his heart.
But the other party didn't just scold them mindlessly, they could be said to be well-founded.
He himself has also reflected on it and summarized his failures.
Zachary Cheng's words also included two summaries of his failure.
Grass! I was convinced!
A man like Zachary Cheng must have a lot of cool words.
Under the attack of his words and layers of tricks, Wei Bo really fell into endless self-denial.
He felt that the other party would definitely not want him to join the team.
As he expected, this piece of shit Zachary Cheng also said: "If you apply for a job in a big company in the future, I don't recommend that you write down your entrepreneurial experience on your resume."
It’s so hurtful!
But it is interesting to say that Wei Bo and his friends are more like three technical geeks, and they are also soft-tempered.
Zachary Cheng was scolding him like a school bully, and they were so stunned that they lost their temper and didn't dare to do anything.
I always feel that the three of us together may not be enough for him to fight alone.
Brother, are you sure you don't want to start a "club" in college? Why do I feel like that's the best thing for you to do?
Just when Wei Bo and others were about to get up and leave in despair, Zachary Cheng glanced at them and made a tactical pause.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "But I am still prepared to accept you, and I plan to make you the deputy leader of the development team."
As he spoke, he pointed at Wei Bo.
Wei Bo's mind was spinning now, and he even thought for a moment that he was part of Zhang Qiqi's nepotism?
The man in front of me seems to have some unclear relationship with Zhang Qiqi, the campus goddess.
And it seems that Goddess Zhang is more proactive towards him?
Zachary Cheng continued: "I guess when you go to apply for a job in the future, most people won't be able to see your shining point."
"But, I can see some of it."
He began to praise Wei Bo a few more times, and these words hit something deep in his heart and resonated with him.
So, he actually understands me?
Zachary Cheng, who burned Wei Bo's CPU, began to increase his efforts.
He didn't come here for free and just discussed salary directly!
Words are words, money is money!
I want to control you spiritually, and I also want to control you physically!
Zachary Cheng's words are really stupid, and the words and PUA tricks he uses are really dirty, but the money he gives is really real.
When college students go to work, the salary they can get is definitely not high.
The treatment given by Zachary Cheng made their hearts beat fast.
What he gave was normal industry treatment, which was unthinkable for them who were still in their senior year of college.
After I put this combination of punches together, I bowed to you before you even got your head. Am I the only one who follows your lead?
Fifteen minutes later, Wei Bo and his two little brothers walked out of Room 212 in a daze.
They have agreed to join. Joining this gang is not, but a team.
They chatted as they walked to the dormitory.
When they were almost walking to the dormitory, Wei Bo realized that they didn't even know what kind of game Zachary Cheng planned to develop!
He didn't even talk about this stuff!
They only remembered that when Zachary Cheng sent everyone out, he gave everyone a cigarette.
Then, he lay down on the corridor, lit a cigarette for himself, then looked ahead, and said in a calm tone: "Congratulations, you have joined the Polytechnic University's most profitable game project in the future."
Damn it, these three technical nerds just can’t learn from this kind of energy.
In room 212, Zachary Cheng finished all interviews before eleven-thirty.
He has recruited a total of 5 people, and Wei Bo will be led by him to be responsible for the development of "Sheep".
Oh, by the way, there are also three adopted sons in the dormitory who also have to do some chores.
For some tasks that were beyond their capabilities, Zachary Cheng felt that they could just spend money to find an outsourcing team to do it.
In the afternoon, he went to find someone to draw up a contract. He notified Chen Bin and asked him to come over later and sign the contract.
After thinking for a while, he directly asked Chen Bin to come to 212 in the East Building. He turned on the computer and gave the factory director a brief introduction to some procedures for exporting and what needs to be paid attention to.
After all, future shipments will have to be sent directly from Guanyun.
At this moment, Zachary Cheng's phone vibrated and received a WeChat message.
He picked it up and looked at it, but he didn't expect it to be from Serena Shen.
"Are you at school?" she asked.
Didn't they have a group where Michael Shen was the leader? He originally said that it was the weekend and asked everyone to have dinner together. Cheng Zhuyi was too busy and refused, saying that he might be at school all day today.
Serena Shen didn't bubble up in the group from beginning to end, but she was obviously diving to peek at the screen and read all the chat content!
"Well, I'll go back to the entrepreneurial park later." Zachary Cheng replied.
"I'll come back later and bring something over," she said.
"What are you bringing here?"
"Nothing, it's for little Yuzi."
"Huh?" Zachary Cheng was slightly stunned. He thought he had something for himself, but he didn't expect it was for his sister. He suddenly lost interest and replied, "Okay."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, after taking his sister-in-law to the mall, Chen Bin drove to the Polytechnic University.
As he walked in, he asked his sister-in-law: "Xiao Min, which school is bigger between this school and yours?"
"Brother-in-law, how do I know this? Can I check it on Baidu for you?" She was slightly speechless.
But not to mention, along the way, she just felt that the girls in the school were really cool and the average quality was really good.
When she arrived at Room 212 of the East Building, as soon as she entered, her eyes were attracted by Zachary Cheng who was sitting there.
Today he had to interview people and sign a contract, so he dressed more formally, wearing a white shirt.
In 2014, the so-called white-shirted male god was becoming popular, and Qian Min was shocked by him.
The sun shone through the window on his white shirt. He sat against the light, looking particularly charming.
Qian Min felt that his heartbeat was slightly accelerated.
"Here you come? Take a look at the contract first. Brother Bin, let your sister-in-law help you check it." He smiled and said.
Chen Bin complained in his mind: "Are you still checking? She is already addicted to male sex and can't extricate herself. It would be good if she doesn't turn her elbows outward."
Of course, complaints are complaints, and he still has trust in his family members who study law.
After signing the contract, Zachary Cheng motioned for Chen Bin to sit next to him. He turned on the computer and began to explain it to him in simple terms.
He felt that Chen Bin still needed to know some of his follow-up strategic layout.
In his opinion, the middle-aged Abin will be very busy after export sales officially start.
Qian Min listened on the sidelines and felt that this boy who was younger than himself had a maturity and stability that ordinary college students did not have at all.
My brother-in-law, who knows everything about everything in the factory and at home, is now like a student listening to a teacher's lectures. He listens very carefully and even takes out his mobile phone to take notes.
This low profile of people around her can actually easily affect her psychology.
It will make Zachary Cheng's image in her heart even taller.
Although Qian Min didn't quite understand what Zachary Cheng was talking about, she didn't know why, even though she was selling QQ underwear, she felt high-end.
At this moment, Zachary Cheng was immersed in talking, Chen Bin was immersed in listening, and Qian Min was immersed in greed. No one heard the footsteps coming from the quiet corridor.
"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door.
Chen Bin and Qian Min were stunned for a moment, and then they observed that Zachary Cheng seemed to know who the visitor was, and instead of opening the door, he said in a slightly loud voice: "The door is unlocked!"
The two of them looked towards the door, and saw a beautiful figure appearing after the door was opened.
With just one glance, all the unrealistic thoughts in Qian Min's heart disappeared in an instant.
"Isn't this girl too pretty?"
"And I don't know why. She looks like a rich girl with a very good family."
Serena Shen walked in, with exquisite and beautiful facial features, amazingly long legs, a cool and cold temperament, but a very powerful aura.
Qian Min was even thinking: "She won't be his girlfriend, right?"
"With a girlfriend like this, other green tea girls should not dare to approach him at all."
"Either you will feel ashamed of yourself, or you will be afraid of her aura."
Just as she was thinking this, footsteps came from the corridor again.
As soon as Serena Shen put the things in her hands on the table, she heard someone knocking on the door again.
"The door is unlocked, just go in." Zachary Cheng said again.
The visitor pushed the door open and said, "Junior, I heard Wei Bo talking about you."
Qian Min was stunned again. Why is this girl so beautiful? It has a different beauty than the one that came in first.
Zhang Qiqi's words stopped abruptly when she saw Serena Shen as she entered the door, but she soon smiled very naturally and said:
"Yeah, Senior Sister Shen is here too?"
