Fisherman Wu: "The Water Margin transcends dreams!"
On the occasion of the public beta of Water Margin Q, Mr. Wu Fisherman, CEO of Flint, made a great ambition of "making a dream journey to the west". After completing the first stage of operation, fisherman Wu admitted that there were some problems in the early operation of Water Margin Q, such as the difficulty for beginners to get started, but Flint has made corresponding adjustments to these problems. Moreover, fisherman Wu firmly believes that "The Water Margin Q completely surpasses the fantasy westward journey in quality".
In response to the loss of users on the Fantasy Westward Journey, Wu Yufu said that the Water Margin Q Biography can completely carry a large number of users lost on the Fantasy Westward Journey. Flint software will greatly expand the content of the game, and strive to achieve the goal of increasing the number of people by at least 1 times next year.
10000000 USD financing to create "The Water Margin Q Biography 2"
Flint Software received nearly $654.38 million in investment from CDH. This is the first case for a domestic company that only does research and development.
Fisherman Wu Shuo invested in Flint Company in June, 2006, and the investment was paid twice in September and June, 165438+ 10. Citic Pacific, the former largest shareholder, has basically withdrawn. At present, it only holds a small number of shares and has withdrawn from the board of directors.
Faced with this $654.38+00 billion, Flint does not intend to get involved in the operation. After financing, we will continue to develop online games, and Jinshan will remain the preferred operating partner of Flint. Fisherman Wu said that the Water Margin Q Biography operated by Jinshan has been profitable, and the next game of Flint will be Water Margin Q Biography 2, which is currently under planning.
Don't go out to sea for half a year and continue to explore the domestic market.
When talking about entering overseas markets, Fishman Wu said very quietly that Flint's top priority should be to continue to do a good job in R&D and strive to open up the domestic market, and said that he would not consider going to sea for half a year.
From game fans to CTO
Fishman Wu, 1995 won the computer world scholarship, and now he is the director and CTO of Fairchild Digital Technology Co., Ltd., which was founded by him and his friend Chen Zhongwen at the end of 1999.
Fisherman Wu is a standard net worm. He learned about the Internet from Shui Mu Tsinghua. He spent five years surfing the Internet, met many netizens, and served as the moderator of Vision in Tsinghua for three years.
Fisherman Wu comes from Xianwei, a coastal city in Guangdong Province. 199 1 Fishman Wu, who entered the computer department of Jinan University, entered the computer major because he likes playing video games in the street. He has never seen a real computer before. Compared with his classmates who can rattle the keyboard as soon as they enter the computer room, he is a little ashamed.
Stupid birds fly first, not to mention that fisherman Wu is not stupid at all, and his congenital deficiency makes up for it. So I stayed in the computer room all day, starting from scratch. "I remember when I was a sophomore, I was learning dot matrix Chinese character programming under DOS graphical interface. An article about programming skills in the computer world suddenly opened my eyes. I quickly copied the program and programmed it in the computer room of the department. Since then, Computer World has come into my life and become my mentor. " From then on, fisherman Wu often went to the library to consult newspapers such as Computer World and Computer. From the beginning, he learned to practice and gradually formed his own thinking. A few months later, he was as good as his classmates.
After that, fisherman Wu began to absorb the knowledge of software programming on a large scale, from Pascal, C language, virus, encryption and decryption to financial management and multimedia development, never letting go of the popular programming knowledge and skills at that time. 1994 With the rise of Windows programming and multimedia technology, there are many multimedia CDs with different themes. After half a year's efforts, fisherman Wu helped the Institute of Software Tools of Jinan University to develop the 1.0 version of Nanyue multimedia development platform. Years of accumulation finally paid off. Therefore, Fishman Wu won the first prize of Guangdong University Student Cup Software Competition, Computer World Scholarship and expert appraisal organized by Guangdong Science and Technology Commission with 65438-0995.
At this time, Fishman Wu suddenly felt that writing programs was full of spirituality and creativity, and spent several months upgrading the software. On behalf of Jinan University, he participated in the "Challenge Cup" national college student competition held in Wuhan University that year, and achieved the best results in Guangdong universities, ranking eighth among the 254 participating universities.
I went to work in Shenzhen after graduation; I wanted to exercise for a year or two before starting a business. All kinds of chances and opportunities made Fishman Wu set up his own company in a hurry at the end of 1995: Guangzhou Fei Ying Computer Company.
At that time, I saw the development stories of several famous domestic programmers such as Qiu Bojun, Bao and Zhu Chongjun from the media. Their top technical level is my dream. "These top experts have become the idols of fisherman Wu, who is full of struggle and ready to make a decent product based on the multimedia development platform of Nanyue. So, sweating like a pig, I locked myself in the dormitory for a period of time, upgraded the original product and renamed it "Fei Ying Multimedia Creation Tool" version 3.0.
1mid-996, version 3.0 of Fei Ying Multimedia Creation Tool was officially released. At that time, Fei Ying Computer Company was a micro IT company with less than 10 employees. When the product was launched, the development momentum was good and the turnover was rising. However, in the next few important development decisions involving the company, such as the direction of technology investment, Fishman Wu lost confidence and finally left the company with "Eagle 4.0".
During that time, fisherman Wu made endless thoughts on the development of software industry. One by one, my technical friends went to America. Is that a paradise for software technicians? Fisherman Wu decided to go out to study, see the outside world, feel the madness of Silicon Valley, learn new software technology and management mode, and began to apply on 1998 10.
"Waiting for a visa is boring." In his spare time, fisherman Wu got to know one of the founders of hot news in China while helping his friends to do bidding projects.
Fisherman Wu happened to have a new idea. He wanted to leave the hot news in China and develop independently. "We don't want to miss this era," fisherman Wu told us. "We found that there are many things that can complement each other. The closer we talk, the sooner we meet. So he persuaded me to stay, and I worked with him to sort out information, write a business plan, and plan the company's business direction and model. "
After taking a group photo, the two went all the way to learn from the scriptures and prepare to start a business. 1September 1999, fisherman Wu obtained a Canadian visa. 1999165438+10, the venture capital was put in place and xiantong digital technology co., ltd was formally established.
CNtomi is positioned as a provider of Internet application software and e-commerce solutions. Fisherman Wu Shuo: "Being a CTO in the company, facing the booming and emerging website army, there is a huge market demand for network application software, and we are more willing to" sell tools ",so we set up a software company. Today, Fairchild has successfully launched 65,438+06 software products, the first batch of which are email systems and integrated e-commerce engines. "
Some people summarize Fairchild Digital Company as "Marshal Doll". Indeed, among more than 50 employees, the biggest one is only in his early 30 s. "It is not easy to manage a young company with a certain scale." As the CTO of Fairchild, he is responsible for the operation of the company's core production departments (development, research, quality inspection and products). Fishman Wu is facing two levels: management and technology, and the improvement of its own quality. "Besides," fisherman Wu Shuo said, "I will take time to read more books on enterprise and personnel management and apply them to the daily management of the company. Sometimes I can get unexpected good results."
In the IT industry with abundant talents and fierce competition, especially in the Internet field, obtaining and analyzing information is the key to business success. "Now, Computerworld is basically a must-see program for every issue. Understand the industry trends, learn new technologies, consult valuable commercial advertisements, and cut out what you think is helpful. "
Fisherman Wu thanked Computerworld for its long-term help and wished Computerworld the icing on the cake. If you have any suggestions for Computer World: If possible, I hope to have Linux and WAP columns, as well as detailed knowledge of successful application of solutions by enterprises. "
