In fact, despite being born in 1985, Wu Meng has more than 10 years' network experience. 1999, he began to contact the Internet and online games, and he was one of the earliest personal webmasters in China. At that time, he was just a senior one student. Jay Chou fan website was founded from 2000 to 2005, with more than1300,000 members, making it the largest fan community in China.
In the eyes of many people, Wu Meng's life seems to be smooth sailing, but the real transformation began with failure. In 2005, he got an investment and made a WEB2.0 community "Sweet Potato Nest", which was his first entrepreneurial project and integrated more than 30 domestic star sites. At that time, the team size was about 100 people, and it took almost two years, but in the end,
Wu Meng said that he regarded this failure as the first pot of gold in his life. Through this project, he found that he was not mature enough in both experience and mentality. After consideration, in 2007, he joined the pioneer of dynamic network, a network technology company dedicated to the development of interactive entertainment. At first, his goal was to make community products, but in 2008, he basically made ends meet. At this time, he decided to last stand and devote himself to the web game market.
The second transformation also began: although we didn't play games, everyone was a layman. Wu Meng still led the team to persist. From March 2008, he started planning and spent about seven months crossing the river by feeling the stones. Created the game "Business Tycoon", once launched, the number of servers exceeded 200, and the active users exceeded 700,000, making it one of the most popular web games in China.
This is a commercial simulation business web game. Players play an entrepreneur, starting from scratch, struggling in a free city, and constantly expanding their career map and social status through hard work. In fact, it seems that this game is very similar to Wu Meng's experience.
After the success of the game "Business Tycoon", Wu Meng also became a success. He fully realized that finding a way to play web games is very promising. Previously, the experience of webmasters helped him, such as paying attention to user surveys, forum collection, customer service information registration, and most importantly, studying data, making adjustments for users and providing players with what they want.
The evaluation of the insiders is: Young Wu Meng has a strong feeling about the online game market. The games he pioneered can often find out the blank spots in the market, such as the game Superstar, which takes a fancy to the characteristics of female users. They don't like fighting and killing, but like casual games with beautiful pictures. After development, this game is also quite successful.
Perhaps this is an important reason for Giant Network to take a fancy to Wu Meng. During the 20 1 1 annual meeting of the game industry, the giant made it clear that it would strengthen the layout of web games, and online games were an opportunity for Giant Network to achieve a second take-off. In this way, Wu Meng's experience in network and innovation in games are in line with the requirements of Giant Network.
