The first round of open beta is still continuing.
On the 18th, the negotiations with Five Minutes Company finally came to an end.
Fifteen million to acquire the entire Five Minute Games company, including its fifty-six game staff and the copyrights to all current games.
The most valuable thing in the entire company is probably these professional talents.
To be honest, those game copyrights are not worth much.
On the 19th, Zhang Bin met with the two main people in charge of Five Minutes Game Company.
Zhang Hua and Zhao Chongming are both young people in their mid-twenties.
For them, the company was acquired, which seemed a little helpless.
When they founded the company, they also had great ambitions.
They once threatened to become the largest game development company in the country and even expand their games overseas.
However, reality often crushes dreams ruthlessly.
Funding issues, agency issues.
After two years, they have hardly produced any product that has received good response, and almost no one is willing to represent these games.
In the face of reality, no one would have too many illusions, so Zhang Bin's acquisition was such a natural result.
Zhang Bin sat across from the two people and looked through the company's basic information.
The company is currently developing two games, one of which is Happy Farm.
Putting down the materials, Zhang Bin looked at the two people.
"What are you going to do with the acquisition funds?"
Zhang Bin asked with a smile, "Of course, I'm just purely curious."
"Pay off the debt, and then pay back everyone's salary in the past few years, and we won't be able to share the remaining part much."
Zhang Hua, wearing a pair of thick glasses, answered Zhang Bin's question.
"Have you ever thought about the reason for your failure?"
Zhang Bin asked.
"I thought about it, but I didn't understand it."
Zhang Hua nodded honestly.
"I guess the market test is not enough," Zhao Chongming added next to him.
"Our technology has certain flaws, but it doesn't mean that none of the games are outstanding.
I think there are not enough agents."
Zhang Bin glanced at Zhao Congming and said with a smile: "What do you think casual games focus on?"
Zhao Chongming thought for a while and said: "Leisure, entertainment, and the picture is humorous."
Zhang Bin nodded and said: "All of these are needed, but don't forget one more thing.
Competition, as long as it is a game, cannot escape from one center, that is, advancement in competition.
If a game lacks enough motivation to advance, , then there is no point in playing this game.”
"But aren't there some contradictions between leisure and competition?"
Zhao Congming asked.
"Do you think the so-called five-minute game is really casual?
Entertainment is for sure, but as long as it is a game, it is not really casual.
If it is too casual, it only means that your game is not attractive enough.
The quality of any game The fun lies in gaining happiness from competition, gaining a sense of accomplishment from growing up step by step, and how to let everyone experience the joy of competition and progress while having leisure and entertainment," Zhang Bin said.
Seeing the two people nodding, he continued: "I think your Happy Farm is very good.
Keep working on it, and put the other one on hold for now."
Both of them were overjoyed when they heard this.
The two of them at Happy Farm also had high hopes.
Seeing Zhang Bin's affirmation meant that there was hope, at least Zhang Bin didn't completely deny it.
"Thank you, Mr.

Zhang," both of them said gratefully.
Zhang Bin continued: "The company will no longer be called Five Minutes, but I won't break it up for you.
All of them will be merged into the Game Development Division.
I call the previous ones one department, and you are two departments.
I Several games will be produced for you, and whoever does well will receive more investment and resources in the future."
Hearing Zhang Bin say that they would retain the entire company's personnel, Zhang Hua and Zhao Chongming felt that they had made the right decision and following such a boss was absolutely the right decision.
On the 20th, all employees of the original Five Minutes Game Company came to the Game Development Division, and everyone is here today.
Seeing so many people coming, the original employees felt a little bit of pressure.
Zhang Bin's stores have an area of 380 square meters.
After the renovation, they can barely support 100 people working in the office, which is a bit crowded.
However, there were only about thirty people in total before, and with the current fifty-eight people, the total number is ninety-six, which is okay.
Qian Xiaoyang already knew Zhang Hua and Zhao Congming, so Zhang Bin introduced Jiang Bo, Bei Zishao and Bei Zile.
"You will be colleagues from now on.
You must work hard, develop together, and contribute your strength to the development of the group."
Zhang Bin encouraged everyone.
Then Zhang Hua and Zhao Chongming led everyone in the company inside and began to arrange their positions.
At the same time, Zhang Bin and Qian Xiaoyang officially announced that from today on, the game development division will be divided into Division One and Division Two.
Both parties will participate in the development of each game at the same time, and will determine the future funding and funding from the headquarters based on their respective games. resource.
Now everyone suddenly felt the pressure, especially the original employees.
They were facing a complete game company with more experience than them.
It was obvious that they were at a disadvantage.
However, Bei Zihao's eyes were bright.
He had obviously found his passion and seemed determined to have a big fight.
Since there is competition, Zhang Bin of course still hopes that the two sides will be on a similar basis.
He came to Qian Xiaoyang's office and handed him the preliminary version of Plants vs.
Zombies.
"This is a game copyright I bought.
It's just a preliminary script at the moment.
If you ask someone to improve it, I think it will be very marketable," Zhang Bin said.
Qian Xiaoyang took it over and looked through it.
It was for leisure and entertainment.
"One of the games currently being developed by the second team is Happy Farm.
You should know that I let them continue to develop it," Zhang Bin said.
"The chairman is very optimistic about this game," Qian Xiaoyang asked.
"They are all equally optimistic, but the final market reaction depends on your own performance," Zhang Bin said.
Qian Xiaoyang nodded.
He felt that the styles of the two games were somewhat similar.
They were both of the five-minute type.
There was competition, but they also had their own markets.
When Zhang Bin came to the second department, the entire store was divided into left and right parts, with the same area, so it seemed relatively crowded here.
Zhang Bin made some suggestions on some aspects of Happy Farm.
Of course, he hopes that both games will be made into a series, but some details still need to be properly handled.
For example, the behavior of stealing food is not worth promoting, even on the Internet.
Some props need to be added to increase the risk of stealing food.
Zhang Bin has played it, so he has some opinions of his own.

Of course, he is not a professional, so he just provides a reference.
After explaining the matters here, Zhang Bin's next work focus will shift to the launch of Weibo.
But before that, he still needed to solve one thing
