"I heard Mohan say some of your opinions on "Runaway", and they are actually right."
Yu Dong put down the pen in his hand, stood up, walked to Ren Hongfei, stretched out his hand and shook his hand, "Hello, Mr. Ren, I am Yu Dong."
Ren Hongfei had heard many people introduce themselves, but Yu Dong's self-introduction made him feel the most special. Who could not know Yu Dong? This is not like being on stage. A person who everyone knows introduces himself, which always makes people feel uncomfortable.
It feels special.
"Hello, Teacher Yu, my name is Ren Hongfei."
Yu Dong sat down in front of the two of them and first took a look at Ren Hongfei. This young man who was highly praised by Michael Mohan was of medium build and thin. He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looked unattractive.
"I heard that you haven't graduated yet?" Yu Dong asked.
Ren Hongfei nodded and said, "Well, graduation is still half a year away."
"Which school in Shaanxi?"
"Chang'an University of Electronic Science and Technology."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows. Chang'an University of Electronic Science and Technology is still very good. Although the university has expanded its enrollment this year, the college students of Ren Hongfei's class are still very popular. It is not difficult for them to find a job.
Even if Ren Hongfei's major is quite special, the units that want him will definitely grab a lot of him.
"Mohan told me that you guys talked a lot about games."
"Actually, I don't know much about games. I just chatted with Michael." Ren Hongfei was not being modest. He really didn't think what he said meant anything.
Yu Dong didn't care whether he was being modest or not, and said straight to the point: "I am very interested in what you are talking about. If you are willing, you can work in our company's game division. The game division is quite special and has just gone through reorganization.
, it’s still in its infancy, if you come here, your early work should be to work with other colleagues to connect with the newly acquired companies.”
Ren Hongfei raised his eyebrows, Game Division... He didn't expect Yu Dong to be so direct, let alone that Yu Dong was going to send him to the Game Division. He had just been holding back a lot of words related to literature and wanted to talk to Yu Dong.
Say it.
Even though he talked to Mohan about the game very clearly, he really didn't have much interest in the game. Those words were purely judgments he made based on data analysis.
If he were asked to choose by himself, he would definitely not choose the game division, but a computer company or data service center in deep space.
After pondering for a long time, Ren Hongfei plucked up the courage and said, "Teacher Yu, do I have any other choice?"
Yu Dong smiled, and his impression of Ren Hongfei improved. No matter how talented this person was, at least he was calm and rational in dealing with things, and he did not become hot-headed just because he extended an olive branch to him. For this, it is necessary to
Better than most young people of Ren Hongfei's age.
"You don't like the game division?" Yu Dongxiao asked.
"It's not that I don't like it, I just don't know much about games, and I don't have much enthusiasm for games. Teacher Yu, I think this way, passion is very important when doing a job. If you don't have passion, you won't be able to do it."
It’s hard to achieve big development.”
"Enthusiasm." Yu Dong leaned on the sofa and said with a smile, "Enthusiasm is indeed a good thing. It can often push us to accomplish some great achievements. But in daily work, enthusiasm cannot last long. Perhaps
You don’t agree with me, but enthusiasm will always disappear or disappear temporarily, so at that time, what should we rely on to complete our work?”
Ren Hongfei opened his mouth, but did not say anything to refute, and he did not dare to say that the enthusiasm would not disappear.
But to be honest, Ren Hongfei was a little disappointed when he heard Yu Dong say such words, because in Ren Hongfei's mind, Yu Dong was a great scholar floating in the clouds, and he was talking like a company boss now.
...Although he is indeed a company boss.
Yu Dong continued: "Since work is only for two things, one is to make money, and the other is to realize self-worth. It is difficult for most people to even do the first point, let alone realize self-worth. Maybe you can think about it.
What kind of job can display your talents and allow you to make money while realizing your self-worth, instead of thinking about vain enthusiasm. Besides, you only know that you are not interested in games, but have you seriously thought about whether you are interested in engaging in games?
Aren’t you also interested in related jobs?”
Ren Hongfei was about to shake his head when he heard Yu Dong say again: "Have you ever thought about why you talked so much about games with Mo Han? Do you think it's because Mo Han took the initiative to guide you? I think that's not the case, right?
, you have at least paid attention to and studied the development of video games, otherwise you would not have been able to say those words no matter how much Mohan guided you."
As soon as Yu Dong's combo came out, Ren Hongfei was really shaken, and he began to seriously think about what Yu Dong said.
Mohan couldn't understand the conversation between the two. He only saw Ren Hongfei's expression changing several times in just a few minutes, making him scratch his head and head anxiously.
"Think about it carefully. As long as you are willing, the Game Division will be waiting for you. As for other departments, I can also ask the Human Resources Department to arrange interviews for you, but whether you can get in depends on your own ability. In this case, you go back first
, give me a reply within two days.”
Ren Hongfei nodded, "Thank you, Teacher Yu, I will definitely consider it carefully."
"Well, you can tell Mohan after you think about it. If you really work in the game division, you will definitely have frequent contact with Mohan in the future." Then Yu Dong said to Mohan in English, "Mohan, help me.
Please give it to Mr. Ren."
Hearing this, Ren Hongfei looked at Mo Han in surprise, but he did not ask his doubts on the spot. It was not until he and Mo Han left the office that Ren Hongfei couldn't help but ask, "Michael, Yu
The teacher said that if I go to the Game Division, I will often deal with you. Why is this? Are you also in the Game Division?"
Mohan smiled and shook his head, "Do you think I work here?"
"It really doesn't seem like it. Deep Space employees should be very busy these two days. Since you are not an employee of the Game Division, why did Teacher Yu say that?"
"I think it's because the work of the game division needs to be connected with the acquired subsidiaries, and Blizzard is one of them."
Ren Hongfei's eyes widened, "Are you from Blizzard?"
Ren Hongfei knew that Deep Space acquired Blizzard, but he didn't know much about Blizzard. He only knew that it was the company that produced "StarCraft".
"Maybe it's from Snow Mountain... Haha, just kidding, I do belong to Blizzard."
Ren Hongfei covered his forehead in surprise and shouted, "Oh, no, I actually belittled "StarCraft" in front of Blizzard people. What a ridiculous thing."
Michael Mohan shrugged his shoulders: "You just told the truth, and you said it very well, otherwise I would not recommend you to Deep Space Company. In fact, I also thought about inviting you to our company, but now
In this case, it would be better for you to go to deep space."
"Why?"
Michael Mohan smiled and did not explain much to Ren Hongfei. Although he admired Ren Hongfei very much, Ren Hongfei had not joined Deep Space Company yet, so he could not tell Ren Hongfei too much about the company.
After Blizzard was acquired, Deep Space basically had no control over Blizzard's normal operations, including the company's game development. However, Deep Space required Blizzard to follow Deep Space's overall strategy. They no longer care about the games Blizzard develops, but
After the games come out, Deep Space must decide how to release them and how to promote them.
Mohan is not dissatisfied with this. The current situation is at least better than the previous acquisition by Vivendi. There is no need to worry about one of their company's plans being axed by Vivendi. Moreover, there is no need for distribution and publicity.
They only worry about making good games, which is what they thought before.
Since the distribution and promotion of the game are no longer under Blizzard's control, there is no need to recruit Ren Hongfei. Blizzard now only needs talents in game development.
Seeing that Mohan did not explain, Ren Hongfei wisely did not continue to ask this question, and instead asked, "Are you a developer in the company?"
"No, I am mainly responsible for...I am responsible for more complicated things, even more complicated than your major."
"Is the job you were assigned by the company to be responsible for this time related to this game competition?"
"Part of it is." Michael Mohan nodded, and then asked, "What did YU say to you just now?"
"He gave me some solid advice."
"What about work?"
"I didn't agree immediately, Teacher Yu asked me to think about it."
Michael Mohan was shocked, "You didn't agree? You didn't agree?!"
"Well, I just think I'm not very interested in games. I really want to work in the game department. I don't have the passion."
"Passion?" Michael Mohan shook his head and sighed, "Come on, this is work, why are you talking about passion? Even when I started a business with Allen, it was not passion that supported me.
Our dream is not to make games at all. But it turns out that we are doing pretty well, and I can also get happiness from it."
Compared with Yu Dong, Mohan spoke more directly, but Ren Hongfei immediately caught the key point of his words: "You said you started a business with Allen? Are you the boss of Blizzard?"
Mohan smiled, "Although the identity of the founder of Blizzard is not that great, I still have the honor to introduce to you that I am indeed one of the founders of Blizzard. If you really go to work in the game division
, you will indeed need to deal with me more often in the future. From a personal perspective, I very much hope that you will work in deep space. In this way, I will at least have friends here at the head office."
Ren Hongfei was still a little confused. He felt that his experience in the past two days was too dreamy. A random passerby he stopped turned out to be the founder of Blizzard Company. He was also recommended to Yu Dong by the founder, who hoped to become the founder of Deep Space Company.
One member.
He suddenly felt that he was very connected with games, and perhaps joining the game division of Deep Space Company was indeed a good choice.
…
That evening, when Yu Dong was still writing "WALL-E", Mohan came over and told him that Ren Hongfei had already considered it and was willing to join the game division.
Yu Dong was not surprised at all by this. Ren Hongfei was a smart man. If you give him some time to think about it, he would definitely be able to figure it out.
It's hard to say whether Ren Hongfei can make a big difference in the game division, but when the opportunity was presented to him, he didn't cherish it, which was definitely a big mistake.
Don’t say no easily to things you haven’t tried before. Human beings know much less about themselves than they think. You don’t know how many things work until you actually do them. It may be harder than you think.
Or maybe it's easier than you think.
After talking about Ren Hongfei's situation, Mohan did not leave and asked Yu Dong again: "I heard from Jimmy that you have some plans for the future of Battle.net?"
After this period of research, Mohan was able to determine that within the Deep Space Group, even if Yu Dong was not dominant, he was on an equal footing with Jimmy. Therefore, now that Yu Dong is speaking, his attitude has changed.
Yu Dong actually didn't want to talk to Mohan about this at this time. He was working on the manuscript for "Wali" and wanted to write the rough version before the year.
But since Mohan took the initiative to ask, there was no reason not to talk to him.
"I have some ideas. Jimmy should have told you that we hope that Battle.net can enter China. Just as we were talking about this, I wanted to ask you if you have any understanding of China's network environment and hardware conditions. If Battle.net wants to
When entering China, you definitely need to adapt to China’s network environment and hardware. Is this technically difficult?”
Mohan said very confidently, "It's absolutely not difficult. It can be done. However, after Battle.net enters China, you will not be able to play against foreign players. You should know this."
"It doesn't matter. If we start now, how long do you think it will take for Battle.net to enter China?"
"Three... no, it can be completed in two months at most."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "It's faster than I thought. Are you sure you understand China's network environment and hardware conditions?"
"Although I was in the Deep Space Park during the day, I often went to Internet cafes at night. I visited all the big and small Internet cafes in Jinling. There were high-end Internet cafes run by the Deep Space Company, and some that only had
A small Internet cafe with three or five computers allowed me to experience Jinling’s Internet environment and hardware facilities.”
"Actually, the Internet environment in Jinling is better than that in most cities."
Yu Dong said that it is better than most cities, which is actually a bit conservative. Jinling's network environment is definitely unique in China.
Jinling's own network development was early. In 1995, the Chinese Academy of Sciences completed the remote connection of four city branches and began the first step of expanding the Internet to the whole country. Jinling was among them.
In the same year, the first 128k international dedicated line of the China Education and Scientific Research Computer Network connecting to the United States was opened, connecting eight cities, including Jinling.
