Chapter 1191 1291. A thousand-mile dam collapses due to an ant hole

Ask any game company what they are afraid of, and their answers may be varied. Some say they are afraid that the version update will not meet the expectations of players, and some say they are afraid that the paid items cannot stimulate player consumption, etc.

But if you ask them what they are most afraid of, then this will become a unified answer, cheating.

When online games were just emerging in China, many game manufacturers only regarded cheating as a minor problem. However, they soon discovered that this was not a minor problem at all, but a deadly tumor, regardless of the once popular "Legend" or the resurgent "Miracle".

In that generation of online games, even 80 to 90 percent of them could not be played without cheating.

It is not because the difficulty of online game design is too high, but because everyone is using cheating. If you don't use it, you will definitely fall behind and be passively beaten.

It is also because of cheating that some online games that could have been popular for a few more years have greatly shortened their operating lifespan and finally had to stop operating to stop losses.

Since then, many game developers have invested heavily in anti-cheating in addition to paying attention to the consumption model of their online games. After all, the lessons learned from the past are all bloody lessons.

So when Nie Wei first came up with the plan for "PUBG", he had repeatedly warned that he must make great efforts to prevent cheating. However, he did not expect that even if he had warned in advance, cheating would still be prevalent in the game.

Thinking of this, Nie Wei simply quit the game and let Han Dongjun continue to play with the two girls. He went online to search for news and information related to "PUBG" and cheating.

You don't know until you check, and you will be shocked when you check.

This game has only been on the market for half a year, but the cheating problem has reached a very serious level. When you open the relevant forums and posts, basically more than half of the posts on the homepage are denouncing cheaters. While denouncing cheaters, they naturally do not forget to denounce the "inaction" of the game company.

"I met a 'god' again in the ranking today, ID23XX5, report it."

"What's the use of reporting? I met a 'god' a while ago and reported it, but I met that 'god' again in the ranking two days ago, and he was still cheating, and the game company didn't care."

"Did they announce a list of banned accounts yesterday?"

"There are only a hundred accounts, who would believe it if I told others, I met more than a hundred 'gods' in a day of ranking."

The discussion about cheating was shocking to Nie Wei, and the netizens' words revealed helplessness and self-abandonment, as well as deep disappointment with the inaction of the game company.

The game industry can also be summarized as the entertainment industry, which is essentially serving players. When a game starts to disappoint players, it is also the time when the popularity of this game declines.

So even if "PUBG" seems to be thriving at this moment, it has quietly planted the seeds of disaster. When the helplessness and resentment of the Wang family accumulate to a certain extent, it is also the time when this game falls into the abyss.

What made Nie Wei even more angry was the inaction of the game company's operation team.

Thinking of this, Nie Wei simply stood up and walked out. He was going to ask the people in the game company what they were doing with their salaries.

Shu Chang and others noticed Nie Wei leaving and were a little surprised.

"What's wrong with Brother Nie Wei?" Han Dongjun took off his headphones and asked Shu Chang beside him in a low voice.

Shu Chang shook her head. Although Nie Wei's expression seemed to have not changed, as a pillow person, she still found some details. She was sure that her husband was in a very bad mood now.

"It's okay, let's play for a while. By the way, Xiaoli, don't you want to eat popsicles? There are also popsicles in the Internet cafe. I'll buy two for you." Shu Chang stood up with a smile and was about to walk out. Seeing this, Han Dongjun quickly stood up and indicated that he would just run errands.

But Shu Chang's purpose was not to buy popsicles at all, so he smiled and rejected the positive Han Dongjun and walked in the direction where Nie Wei left.

"Should we play in a duo?" Han Dongjun didn't get a chance to show off, feeling a little depressed, and turned around to ask Yang Xiaoli next to him.

"Okay, okay." This girl was really open-minded, and when she heard that she was going to continue playing games, she immediately agreed happily.

Looking at Yang Xiaoli's heartless look, Han Dongjun shook his head helplessly, saying that this girl was smart, but sometimes he felt that she was quite unsightly, but if you say she was stupid, her behavior would not make people hate her, but instead she was cute and straightforward everywhere.

After just getting along for less than half a day, Han Dongjun's first impression of Yang Xiaoli was very good.

He felt that making friends with someone like Yang Xiaoli was stress-free, and the other party was not the kind of villain who laughed in front of him and scolded behind his back. Whether she was happy or angry could be observed from her face, and her emotions were all expressed in her face. She was a very straightforward person at first glance.

Unlike some girls, who smiled on the surface, but MMP in their hearts, said they wanted to, but didn't, and said they didn't want to, but they wanted to, which made people have a headache guessing.

On the other side, Nie Wei walked out of the Internet cafe, found a deserted alley, and took out his cell phone.

At first, he wanted to call Han Tang Game Company directly to question them about the rampant cheating in the game, but just as he was about to dial the number, his hand had already touched the call button and finally let go.

He remembered his identity at this moment.

He is the largest shareholder of Fanxing and the chairman of the board of directors, but he has also handed over the burden of Fanxing's operation to Liu Jing. Now the actual person in charge of the company is Liu Jing, not him.

This is just like in ancient times, he was the king, and Liu Jing was the prime minister of the country. The king could naturally make a decision with one word, but doing so would undoubtedly be a slap in the prime minister's face.

After all, when people below make mistakes, isn’t it because they are first seeking the incompetence of the person in charge? If Nie Wei made this call to Han and Tang now, the other party would naturally not dare not listen, but at the same time, it would actually indirectly slap Liu Jing in the face and even hurt her authority in the company.

After all, a person in charge failed in his duties and actually asked the big boss behind the scenes to personally come forward to teach his subordinates a lesson. His face was so beaten that it was as swollen as bread.

Nie Wei thought for a moment, pressed the cancel button, and then dialed Liu Jing's number.

Nie Wei did not call Liu Jing's office number, but directly made a personal call. Liu Jing happened to be leaving for a meeting. Just as she was about to turn off her phone, she saw the call from Nie Wei.

"Hey, Chairman, do you have anything to tell me?" Liu Jing asked with a chuckle.

Ever since she took charge of Fanxing, a group worth hundreds of billions of dollars, she felt that her life had finally found value. She had studied hard, studied abroad and returned to China, just for this ideal and revenge.

Who says women are inferior to men? Liu Jing would sit in the main seat during every meeting and would think so when she saw a group of male colleagues below making reports to her.

Recently, her energy has been mainly focused on VR.

The application of virtual reality technology is not limited to games. If successful, it will involve all aspects of human beings, and may even develop into a virtual world and become mankind's second global village.

Of course, this is an ideal goal and cannot be achieved in the short term, but it is foreseeable that the VR market has great potential. Even if it is currently only in gaming and entertainment, it has already shown extraordinary potential.

After understanding the industry and its potential, Liu Jing admired Nie Wei's long-term vision and was also very grateful.

It seems that the acquisition of Baofeng Technology is a test question for Liu Jing, but in fact it is also a favor given to Liu Jing by Nie Wei, which can quickly help her secure the position of CEO.

It can be said that VR is Liu Jing’s foundation in this company, and of course she must pay attention to it.

Therefore, since joining the company, the main focus has been on VR technology. Baofeng Technology was Nie Wei’s chosen target. The reason why they failed to make a difference in the VR market before was not due to technology, but mainly due to lack of funds. Hardware aspect.

This is like a studio that has made a game. The graphics are exquisite and almost like reality. However, due to the high performance, the current popular computer configuration cannot drive it at all.

How to do it?

Then lower the graphics and performance of the game, and lower it again and again until everyone’s computer can play it.

The VR technology of Baofeng Technology is first-class and accurate in China and even the world. However, this company has little money. If it wants to take the high-precision route, its brand is not loud enough. It is not as good as giants such as Sony and Microsoft, and players do not Will buy it.

But if you take the low-end route, you can only lower the technical standards.

Now that Baofeng Technology has been acquired by Fanxing, everything is different. In terms of brand, Fanxing Technology's brand may not be as good as Sony and Microsoft in the world, but in Asia alone, Fanxing Technology's brand is definitely loud enough.

Moreover, Fanxing Group has money, and there are so many game studios under it that can cooperate with R\u0026D. When the engineers of Baofeng Technology learned that their company was acquired by Fanxing, they all celebrated and couldn't wait to get involved in the work of the new company immediately.

During the following period, with the financial and technical support of Fanxing, Baofeng VR technology also progressed rapidly, launching two generations of products, both of which were highly recognized by the public.

Liu Jing, who felt that she had performed very well recently, thought Nie Wei was calling to praise her, but after more than ten seconds, Nie Wei gave her a slap in the head.

"Do you know PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, a game owned by the company's Han and Tang Dynasties?"

"Cheating has been rampant in this game recently, but the game company has not done its best to prevent cheating. There may be other reasons for this. I hope you will take the time to understand it. Although games are not our main business, we should not let you believe us. Players are disappointed, you should understand the reason why a thousand-mile dike collapses in an ant nest.”

Nie Wei did not question Liu Jing, nor did he get angry and curse. He didn't like to express his anger on others, and he also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Jing.

Fanxing has many businesses. Its main business is social network platform. Now there is emerging VR technology. In addition, there are entertainment companies, movie theaters, etc. Games are only a small part of Fanxing's business.

Because over the years, Fanxing has actually been focusing on the stand-alone market, and its revenue is naturally not as good as the revenue from online games. It was not until the past two years that Fanxing once again became involved in PC games and mobile games, and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is the first PC game they launched. .

As the president, Liu Jing is in charge of the overall situation, but she cannot personally handle everything.

For industries like Han and Tang, although they are considered first-class companies in the industry, within the Fanxing Group, they are considered a very inconspicuous small industry. Moreover, although the game company itself belongs to the Fanxing Group, it basically takes care of its own business. Fanxing is just After reviewing their accounts, Fanxing Headquarters has little involvement in how they design games and how they operate them.

After all, there are specialties in the art industry, and things in the gaming industry should be left to professionals.

As for whether the work is good or not, it will be known in the annual report. At that time, it will be a time for the survival of the fittest. Fanxing provides favorable conditions, so naturally it will not keep useless people.

However, although this matter has nothing to do with Liu Jing, when Nie Wei called Liu Jing and reported this matter, she still felt that her face was swollen.

In Liu Jing's view, this is her dereliction of duty.

This is like a zipper in the army. As the captain, if one person in the team falls behind and she doesn't notice it, it is her fault, even if she brings all the other people to the finish line.

Nie Wei didn't scold her, but she herself fell into deep self-blame.

Liu Jing reflected on herself during this period of time, because she really invested too much energy in VR and ignored other business of the company.

Ten minutes later, the executives of Fanxing sitting in the conference room saw Liu Jing walking in with a gloomy face, and many of them trembled all over.

Although Liu Jing is a woman and looks very beautiful, for the executives of Fanxing, she is a female devil.

She is vigorous and resolute at work, willing to work hard, and can resist more than men. She is also ruthless and decisive in punishing those who make mistakes.

When Liu Jing first joined the company, many people looked down on this female president and disobeyed her orders. Until one day, she fired two senior executives who made mistakes with a lot of evidence, and then Nie Wei did not come forward to stop it or even acquiesced. Everyone knew that this woman was not easy to mess with.

Looking at Liu Jing's face today, everyone knew that she was in a bad mood, and who knows who is going to be unlucky.

The front row is full of bigwigs in charge of social platforms, entertainment, and VR. Kong Hui, the vice president of Star Games, which is a sideline of the company, usually sits in the corner. Today is no exception. He saw Liu Jing walk into the meeting room with a dark face. At first, he was scared for a while, but gradually he couldn't help laughing.

He felt that a small transparent person like him would definitely not offend Liu Jing, and this President Liu rarely paid attention to games, so he was worried that this storm would blow over his head.

He was secretly happy because he wanted to see the big guys in front of him get humiliated. Usually, they were arrogant in front of him, but this time they might make a fool of themselves.

But just as Kong Hui's face showed a hint of smile, it suddenly froze because he saw Liu Jing looking at him angrily.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise for the generous reward.
