Chapter 186 Attack
The new semester has begun, and this semester is a very peculiar one.The new students have infinite hopes for the Banzhai City. The beautiful Banzhai City, exotic plants, and brand-new life experience are so magical to them, as if the future is bright.But a group of students are facing the fate of leaving Banzhai City at this moment.

The two-year period of half-house university is coming soon.There are not a few students who have not been able to enter the second level. This semester is their last chance to work hard.For them, if they can't seize this opportunity, they will most likely have to leave Banzhai City.

If you are promoted to the second level, even if you leave Banzhai University, you can easily find a job in Banzhai City.But if you cannot upgrade, even if you are only a little short, other companies will not be able to directly recognize your strength. It is not so easy to enter an animation and game studio or company in a half-house city.They are used to living in a half-house city, so they naturally don't want to just give up, so they can start to study hard.

And Zheng Lu and the others are currently holding the first teachers' meeting of the new semester.This has become a practice, mainly to announce the future schedule, as well as the income of each project and so on.

"Because Mr. Gao Zhipeng has resigned, there is a temporary vacancy for a teacher in the music department, but it has been filled by an outstanding second-level student. There are no teachers from other departments who can be promoted to teachers. The hope of the administration department is to confirm that after They can make arrangements for how many teachers will remain in the school."

Gao Zhipeng has had nothing to do for the past six months, all of which he has been taking jobs from outside game companies, so the glasses girl immediately terminated his contract.But this also fulfilled his wish, and he found a game company in the city outside Banzhai when he went out, and became the music director.

The purpose of Han Luoqi's meeting today is to determine the number of teachers who will stay in Banzhai University in the future.The number required by each department is not consistent. For example, the demand for the dubbing department is relatively large, while the demand for the music department is relatively small.The animation department has the most needs, and the comic department only needs to maintain the Banzhai comic website, and the game development is the second.

After discussion, the number of teachers in each department was determined. Although they did not make up so quickly, students would naturally jump in gradually.

"The next thing is the project income during the winter vacation. The form has been handed over to you. Please check it out and sign it if there are no mistakes or omissions."

Zheng Lu took a closer look. About 350 million copies of "Picture of Promotion" were sold, and the results ranked first among all the projects. Finally, he didn't embarrass himself.The other teachers had seen Zheng Lu's results, and they also stepped forward to congratulate him.Teachers from other departments who participated in the Zhenglu Project were also overjoyed. The better their grades, the more their dividends would naturally be.

"Zheng Lu, are you really going to let the students do this "Promotion Picture 2"?"

Now that the head of the lion house has a family, he pays more attention to money and so on, so he can't understand why Zheng Lu gave up the development of the second-generation game.Since this news was announced on Banzhai's website last time, it also caused a lot of fierce reactions from fans of "Promotion Picture", and it was Zheng Lu's assurance that he would supervise the development process that calmed down their protests.

"Yes, students, how can you become a talent without exercise? Besides, their vision is very broad, and they can bring new ideas to the game. Maybe they can make better games than when I was here."

Zheng Lu didn't care much about giving up the right to develop the sequel, and he was quite confident in the students he brought out. It shouldn't be difficult to do a good job in the development of the second generation.

"Okay, if there is nothing else, today's meeting is here."

"Wait, I want to say a few words!"

Han Luoqi was about to announce the end of the meeting, but unexpectedly Zheng Lu stood up.A few teachers were still thinking about going to the celebration banquet, but they were stopped by this kid, and they couldn't help biting their teeth in hatred.

"Since the establishment of Banzhai University, the domestic animation and game market has been basically occupied, and the host Pangu is about to be sold. According to the current influence of our Banzhai University, it is not difficult to occupy most of the market share. So I think we should not just focus on It’s time to hit the foreign market after the domestic market!”

"Zheng Lu, the domestic market is occupied by us, but if everyone develops western-oriented games at one go, it will make the situation quite unstable, and this matter has to be done slowly."

Han Luoqi's doubts were justified, and everyone nodded in agreement with Han Luoqi's statement.The acceptance of Western-oriented games in China needs to be gradually cultivated. If they go beyond this direction and cause domestic players to rebound, it will have a certain impact on the release of new consoles.The overall situation is uncertain, but it is still safe.

"No, I don't want everyone to make western-oriented games, but I hope everyone can always keep this idea in mind. Try to add some western or modern elements to your own animation and game works, which will definitely be a good way for you to hit the foreign market in the future. helpful."

Going to the world is something that Zheng Lu has always been thinking about. Now that he has such conditions, as long as he slowly turns the car around, this trend will be unstoppable.Zheng Lu naturally doesn't think that it can be done overnight, but at least he must have this awareness and make changes slowly.

Everyone will understand what Zheng Lu said. Everything is going on subtly, and the integration of Eastern and Western cultures is also the trend of the times. Early preparations should be made.So everyone agrees with what Zheng Lu said, and plans to incorporate a little western or modern elements into their works.

"Okay Zheng Lu, everyone understands what you want to say. Now hurry up and treat you!"

Who made Zheng Lu the king of the season? After only selling games for a month, everyone was under pressure. Of course, he would have to bleed a lot.Now there are many hotels in the outer city, and everyone is tired of the food on campus, so they all go out to eat.

Along with him were three of Zheng Lu's right-hand men, Lin Fan, Jiang Miao and Song Yue.Zheng Lu intends to give them the right to develop "Promotion Picture 2". After reading the proposal written and handed in by them, Zheng Lu is quite satisfied. Young people really have their own ideas, which are worth cultivating.

"You three have been following me since you first entered the second level. I am assured of your level. Now let you do it without any slack. Developing the second generation of best-selling games is not so easy. If you do it well, you will gain both fame and fortune, but if you don’t do it well, you will suffer a lot of criticism, understand?"

People are animals that need pressure to move forward, so Zheng Lu added some pressure to these three people so that they would not relax too much.The three of them were also very grateful to Zheng Lu for giving them this opportunity, so they agreed repeatedly.

"Teacher, are you going to develop another game?"

"Yes, the project has been completed, and the recruitment notice has also been posted. Didn't you see it?"

Lin Fan and the others have just arrived at the school, so they haven't read the school notices yet. Besides, they themselves have projects, so naturally they won't read them.In order for these three people to be able to develop a good game, Zheng Lu gave them all the original team, and went to recruit a new group of people himself.

After entertaining everyone for dinner, Zheng Lu gathered the members of the original "Picture of Promotion" and explained the profit distribution to everyone.Half House University will automatically deposit the money into their bank cards, just confirm online.Finally, I encouraged everyone to let them work with peace of mind under the guidance of the new team leader and achieve greater success.

In the end, he warned Lin Fan and the others that because the three of them were working together, it was inevitable that there would be some disagreements.Don't be reckless when you encounter problems, you have to discuss it, if there is something you can't solve, you can go to him.

Zheng Lu's long-winded appearance made everyone laugh.This teacher is really good, he has no temper and is very easy-going. There is nothing but scolding for mistakes in work.Now that he is about to leave, he also looks very concerned. These emotional students are really touched.

It's no wonder that when Zheng Lu started a new project, those second-level students were overwhelmed. The work is happy and the dividends are high. Where can I find such a boss?Zheng Lu's group of people have all gained a lot, and those who failed to get more than [-] in dividends this time are not considered good players.In the student vitality list announced by the school, Zheng Lu's students almost took over all the previous ones, except for those students who had already done it alone or had senior qualifications.

"Teacher, your new project is a third-person shooter game, which is rare in China. Is it really okay?"

"Nonsense, your teacher, who am I? How can a little difficulty trouble me?"

After a burst of laughter, Zheng Lu left here.The game script has already been written by Yang Yan, but it will take some time. During this time, he will be free to teach Fujii Kazu and the others.

"Zheng Lu, I heard that your host is about to launch a press conference. Is your next game going to be on this platform?"

"Yes, the function of this Pangu mainframe is much stronger than that of Yutongjian. The game I am developing needs this kind of powerful function."

Fujii also knew that there are confidentiality regulations for developing games, so he didn't ask in detail, but he expressed a strong interest in this console.It's no wonder that Banzhai University's handhelds have overwhelmed both Nintendo and Sony in the Chinese market, and now they are going to release a console, which naturally arouses their strong attention.

"How about this? Tomorrow, the launch event of the Pangu mainframe will be held in the center of the business district. I also have some tickets here. Please go to see it together, how about it?"

Fujii kept asking about the Pangu mainframe, and Zheng Lu was a little annoyed by the question. Besides, the press conference was for people to watch, so he handed him the ticket directly, and then slipped away.

Now the students from all the schools in Banzhai City have almost arrived, and there are also many tourists who come here admiringly, so the business district is the best place to hold the press conference.In the center of the business district, there is a large shopping mall owned by Banzhai City, which sells various products of Banzhai University, such as seeds of exotic plants, animation and game products, peripherals, etc., but the main purpose is to hold large-scale shopping malls. Activity.

In order to hold this press conference well and attract more tourists, the administration department of Banzhai University has made many advertisements. In addition, the release time is selected on weekends, which should attract many people.

The press conference lasted for two days. Programs and the like were essential, and game trials were the top priority.But this time the games are all made by Immortal Banzhai.Based on the creativity of teachers and students, a call for ideas was conducted not long ago, and it was held just for today.Naturally, Zheng Lu also submitted a few ideas, as if he was earning some extra money for himself.

Domestic third-party software vendors have even invited a lot of them. Although none of their games have joined, after all, third parties will only respond based on the market share of the console.Now they are more willing to make games for Yutongjian, because there is more insurance.Only a few big game companies have declared to join the Pangu platform, and have already begun game development.This is because they are optimistic about Pangu's prospects, and the result of Banzhai University's efforts to win them over.

Zhang Zijie from Linkage Company also arrived at the scene.Their company's EBOX is now in a very embarrassing situation. The foreign market cannot compete with Microsoft, and now it is facing the challenge of Pangu in China.The most important thing is that now their third-party software vendors have all defected to Yutongjian.Even several foreign software vendors felt that they lacked interest after cooperating several times, so they turned to Banzhai University.

In other words, the only thing supporting the EBOX software market now is the support of Linkage itself and Banzhai University.The ratio is one to nine, and half-house universities account for [-]% of them.What an irony this is. My own software market is actually propped up by my opponents. As long as they want to, they can end their own lives at any time.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Zijie tried countless methods, but the result was still unable to change.Fortunately, Banzhai University has always regarded EBOX as a good place to train students to do game planning, so it has been maintained, otherwise EBOX would have been in a dilemma of running out of ammunition and food.

"Oh, it's ridiculous. In the end, I still made other people's clothes. It seems that after we link up, we can only become a third party."

Zhang Zijie looked at the bustling press conference scene, all kinds of games were bursting, and the demo area was full of people. This kind of scene stimulated Zhang Zijie's heart like a needle prick.Just like Sega was defeated by Nintendo back then, Linkage also lost its confidence in competing for the hardware market at this moment.

In fact, hardware generally does not make money or earns very little, and some are even sold at a loss. This is an international practice.Linkage is now that the more EBOX is sold, the more it loses. However, the software market does not earn much, so there has been a financial crisis.Before Zhang Zijie came, he had already met with the board of directors and decided to stop the production of EBOX next month, announcing that the hardware position had completely fallen.It's really sad that the opponent's hardware has not been officially released, and it has killed itself.

"Our linkage, even if the hardware is lost, the software must be kept! I don't care which platform it is, as long as it is popular enough, I can join."

The tone set at the meeting was the reason why Zhang Zijie came here.The prospect of the Pangu mainframe still needs to be observed on the spot. The linkage is already precarious, and it can't stand any more blows.

"Isn't this the linked Mr. Zhang? Welcome!"

Xie Chaochao was also at the press conference at the moment. He had just finished a speech and left the stage when he saw Zhang Zijie walking up and down there.

"The general who lost the army, I didn't expect Mr. Xie to remember it."

Zhang Zijie was also a little emotional, Xie Chaochao was still a little-known figure more than a year ago, but now he has become famous all over the world.

"The matter of EBOX is really regrettable. I hope Mr. Zhang will not hold grudges in his heart."

"Where is it? In a head-to-head confrontation in the mall, even if you lose, you will have no regrets. There is no such thing as a grudge. From now on, I will become a third party under the banner of Banzhai University, but I still have to rely on you."

The two stood over there talking and laughing happily. The reporter on the side saw this scene and thought that the two were going to fight, so they set up their cameras and waited to capture it.In the end, it turned out that they met each other with a smile, which made him extremely disappointed.

"The talent training mechanism of Banzhai University is really wonderful. No wonder it has already dominated the country in less than two years. Others can't learn it even if they want to."

Zhang Zijie really admired Banzhai University. At the beginning, he did not focus on hardware and linkage, but concentrated on cultivating his own game development talents.Linkage focused on the hardware market, immersed in the joy of success, but neglected software development. When it realized that the software market was already in the hands of Banzhai University, it was too late to think of any solutions.This Xie Chaochao is really a difficult guy.

Zhang Zijie didn't know that everything was done by Ban Zhai Xianren, and Xie Chaochao was the general representative of Ban Zhai University's business affairs, so he naturally thought it was all arranged by him.

"Talents, you will have them soon, and our Banzhai University will not hold them all in our hands. After half a year, those first-level students will graduate. Although they failed to advance to the second-level, But they have mastered more skills than other newcomers, I can guarantee that they are not inferior to others! And after a year, the second-level students will leave the half-house university one after another, and the linkage will seize the opportunity at that time."

Most of Xie Chaochao's words are nonsense. Who doesn't know that the students of Banzhai University are talents, especially the second-level students are all talented.They started scrambling to get them before they graduated, it's just that these people are unwilling to leave the half house university.

"To tell the truth, Mr. Zhang, the goal of our half-house university is not all in China, and going abroad is our ultimate goal."

Xie Chaochao pointed to a group of people in the distance, then patted Zhang Zijie on the shoulder and smiled.

These people are all foreigners, and under the guidance of an interpreter, they walked around each trial area with great interest.When you are having fun, you will scream again and again, attracting the attention of the people on the scene.

"they are?"

Zhang Zijie only felt that these people looked familiar, but he couldn't think of them all at once.

"Hehe, guess what."
