Chapter 432: 416: The Old Antique from 100 Years Ago

Even so, when he hung up the phone, Henry was still a little doubtful.

He immediately called the security team to ask what Lincoln had recently added to the laboratory.

Lincoln’s packages, the small ones, he sometimes took himself, but for the larger ones, Yue Pengju would help.

If it was for buying experimental equipment, the incoming goods would not only be large in volume but also numerous, mostly requiring the security team to help move them into the laboratory.

If Lincoln was planning to work on exoskeletons, asking the security team would definitely reveal some clues.

Lincoln, on the other hand, also took his seat in the office.

Today was destined to be a busy day.

Lincoln even felt that holding a full staff meeting was too inefficient, so he simply logged into the virtual world office and started directly assigning work.

First, he found Jerome and assigned him the task of discussing cooperation with Flying Fox and Wild Island.

After Jerome understood Lincoln’s specific ideas, he went offline without a word and began to take action with full confidence.

In his view, this win-win-win task really had no difficulty.

For the players, as long as the cooperation is reached, they can more easily play VR games.

—Of course, now they must have both Mirage and VR equipment to play.

Such players do not have a high proportion in Cloud Dream.

Those who are willing to buy an extra VR device just for VR gaming are even rarer.

However, with the large user base of Cloud Dream, even a small proportion represents a considerable number when calculated.

Especially since the virtual world eliminates the physical requirements of VR gaming, it is definitely helpful for expanding the VR equipment user base.

For Flying Fox and Wild Island, it means that old users can enhance the game’s activity and discussion level, while new users are simply making free money.

All they need to do is grant a license and make a few system updates; why not?

As for Cloud Dream—

Not only does Cloud Dream make money, but it also enriches the ecosystem of the Mirage console, and best of all, it doesn’t cost much.

The boss never counts his investment in software development into the cost anyway.

After sending Jerome off, Lincoln called in the newly-appointed head of the live streaming department: Leander.

He is an experienced live streaming veteran, having worked in the industry for six years.

In traditional industries, six years would still be a far cry from being considered “experienced”.

But the internet industry is different, and given that the live streaming industry has only been around for about eight years, Leander’s six years of experience is invaluable.

Both his experience and connections can greatly help build Cloud Dream’s own live streaming platform.

But today’s meeting was more about “caring for new employees”.

After a while when Leander adapts to his new job, it won’t be easy anymore for him to see Lincoln so easily.

As expected, Lincoln saw Leander’s face full of excitement, and it was obvious that his work was going very well.

From the time he joined the company until now, his main job has been to activate his connections within the industry.

To put it more bluntly — poaching people from all over the place.

His initial idea was to first bring in some backbone members, plus some new people, to ensure the smooth operation of the platform, then improve the live streaming ecosystem and continue recruiting to expand the team.

The advantage of this approach is clear: a team can be quickly formed to get the business up and running as quickly as possible.

The consequence was that the initial team members would have a hard time, having to work like three people, working tirelessly day and night, and sleeping in the company for many days in a row. This used to be a common scene in the early stages of the industry.

However, after hearing this, Lincoln frowned and immediately shook his head to refuse.

He seriously introduced the working hours of Cloud Dream to Leander, clearly opposing the work culture of working to the point of death, and asked him to set up the team first, and not to be too anxious to start working.

Cloud Dream now has this kind of flexibility.

Moreover, the current live streaming platforms have already ended their initial land-grabbing and fierce competition for time, so there is no need to be so anxious.

After that day, Leander began to run around, either recruiting people or on the way to recruiting people.

“How’s it going? Is the team building progressing smoothly?” Lincoln asked.

“Very smoothly!” Leander nodded repeatedly, “Most old friends, upon hearing the word Cloud Dream, are already in the process of resignation without a second thought. Three of them can join this week, and the rest can join in the middle of the month.”

“Are there no restrictions like non-competition agreements?” Lincoln asked curiously.

“No, in the live streaming industry, the restrictions are basically on the anchors, and there are very few restrictions on the staff. In the early days of fierce competition, there were some restrictions, but now the industry has long been stable, and the flow of ordinary employees between platforms is quite common.”

While explaining to Lincoln, Leander also complained in his heart: I won’t be digging up people with higher positions than me…

Lincoln talked to Leander for a while, fully affirming his work results, and after listening to his arrangements and ideas for the next work, he sent him away again.

Next were Randall and Fred.

This was also the highlight of today: the development plan for the new game “Battlefield”.

Randall and Fred were both prepared, each holding a stack of materials and sitting down.

Randall copied his materials and handed them to Lincoln.

Then he went straight to the point, “Last week, according to your request, we screened suitable historical battles but encountered a problem.”

“What’s the problem?” Lincoln stopped flipping through the information.

“Boss, your requirement is to avoid wars within 100 years as much as possible. However, we found that the weapons used in wars 100 years ago are very different from those used now, and our standard [Shooting Mastery] skill package does not include these old antiques.”

“Oh, that.” Lincoln didn’t care, “Then we won’t give them skills.”

“Huh?” Randall and Fred were a bit dumbfounded, “With antique guns from the last century, let alone whether they can shoot accurately or not, many people might not even know how to shoot at all, right?”

“Or do you mean like in “Speed Chase”, players must first clear the single-player tutorial mode, learn how to use these weapons, and then open the online matching mode?” Fred tried to understand Lincoln’s thinking.

“No, no, no, you misunderstood me.” Lincoln shook his head repeatedly.

“Speed Chase” has already proven that “clearing the single-player game and then opening online mode” is a bad attempt, and naturally, it won’t be done again in the future.

“The online mode must be unconditionally accessible, especially since “Battlefield” focuses on player confrontations, so there should be no obstacles to matching games for players,” Lincoln explained.

“What I meant is that the method of using firearms will be directly transmitted to the players as [skills] when they unlock the weapons. However, this [skill] only includes the most basic usage method. The advanced usage and how to shoot accurately need to be explored by the players themselves.”

“So the skill package for these antique guns…” Randall looked at Lincoln, knowing that the boss seemed to have strong connections in the army.

“Ah, this.” Seeing Randall’s gaze, Lincoln felt a headache.

The modern weapons he had experienced with Henry were at most thirty years old.

As for the antique guns mentioned by Randall from 100 years ago, not to mention the storage of the army, even in Africa, they might not be found…

If he really wanted to find them, they’d probably have to be found in military museums or private collections overseas.

As soon as this problem was raised, Lincoln immediately thought of the real problem being not the antique guns, but the antique vehicles!

Old tanks, biplanes with propellers, and even Zeppelins seemed to be more troublesome one after the other.

Even at that time, there were true light cavalry who fought on horseback!

What was to be done about these things?
