This year we again see the online games giants have repeatedly launched the support of original team projects, then small enterprises will join? What kind of person or team has the qualifications to join these online giants? What exactly is the internal audit elimination standard? Does this mean that these entrepreneurial teams can only survive in large companies and then work for others? To this end, Sina games interviewed giant network president Liu Wei, to talk about her views and the ongoing "win in the Giants."　　Giant network president Liu Wei walked into the giant's threshold Sina game: Giant interview to join the Giants to win the standards of people have a hard indicator? Liu Wei: We have been on the Web site has been open to four basic requirements: first, the game industry has a passion; second, basic skills, at least in a certain field of expertise; third, the importance of thinking ability. Four, good at communicating with others, team cooperation ability. In fact, we care more about "people" and "talent". This is different from VC, we are not only concerned about the project, we are more concerned about "talent."　　Of course, specific projects also need specific judgments, do not tend to across.　　Sina game: How to contact with the intention to join the people and team?　　Liu Wei: Mainly by winning in the giant's mailbox win@ztgame.com, also accept a variety of other ways, including various lines under the line direct or indirect channels.　　Sina game: How to do talent screening? Liu Wei: We need to emphasize that winning in the Giants is not mandatory holding or recruiting, and the way of cooperation is flexibly handled according to specific projects.　　However, regardless of what kind of cooperation model, is to prioritize the core team of the core staff, because the talent is to ensure product success and cooperation of the key to success. The screening method is mainly through the submission of a variety of materials for preliminary observation and judgment, from the past experience to judge the core team of the industry knowledge basic skills, through the project letter of intent to judge their entrepreneurial spirit and thinking ability.　　If there are previous products, we may go to see, if the existing products have demo, we will focus on the test version, we will ask the company's internal evaluation team for professional evaluation. We will arrange the meeting as soon as possible through the preliminary examination. Through the interview for more detailed judgment, the principle of judgment is still mentioned above four, the ability to communicate in the interview will focus on judgment, but also spend some time to explore specific project design ideas, through the process of discussion can also judge the team's experience and thinking ability.　　All the questions or suggestions we find will be emailed or submitted in time for the interview, and a clear response will be given to each project in a timely manner. Sina game: The refusal of the team to join the rationaleby what? Liu Wei: In fact, return to the four basic requirements, most of the rejection is due to the failure to meet the four basic requirements. In our current practice, there are several common reasons: 1) temporarily do not consider investment in this field (such as stand-alone games) 2 core team too lack of practical experience and the most basic industry common sense 3 core team lack of entrepreneurship, basic entrepreneurial philosophy, or lack of independent team management capacity 4 core team　　Head and Master planning the actual combat experience is not rich, and logical thinking ability, analytical ability and learning ability can not reach the requirements.　　Sina Games: What are the reasons for identifying with the team? Liu Wei: So far we have passed and directly invested in the establishment of the team, without exception, are in line with our four basic requirements.　　The team that enters the hatch is also the core project leader and Master planning meet the basic requirements, only the team is not complete, we in the company's incubator to help them build a complete team after the project.　　Sina game: Bullish on a team project and people pay more attention to Which? Liu Wei: Of course pay more attention to people, projects are done by people, even a proxy project, we have always thought that products after the product is the most important late adjustment and development of the beginning, only believe that the core team of the development of the ability to identify their identity of our culture,　　It's possible to confirm that they can work well with us in the process of operation, the successful operation of the product.　　Sina Games: What teams have been identified to join now?

Liu Wei: China's market is relatively young, angel investment is very imperfect, including professional funds, are rarely enough industry expertise, in addition to money, it is difficult to give the team useful support.　　So the company's strategic investment in the industry, in particular, early investment plans, the industry's most scarce resources, is the most needed resources for entrepreneurs, we think that this resource is not too much, but too little, similar to win the giants of this benign angel investment plan, the more favorable for the development of the whole market.　　Sina Games: What do you think is the most needed talent in the game industry?　　Liu Wei: In practice, the people who feel the most lack of talent or have the ability of the project leader, thinking ability, have some actual combat experience, good at learning and summing up the master planning.　　Sina game: Big companies to the entrepreneurial team to support the plan, does it mean that the entrepreneurial team can only work for large enterprises? Of course not. A few days ago, after we had undergone institutional reform,The project team within the company is independent, and we support each team, and even each member of the team treats the project as its own, each contributing member is able to share the benefits of the project's success.　　Sina game: Do you think the game players have the opportunity to do online games, their advantages? Liu Wei: yes. Players generally understand the needs of the user is the deepest, so players to participate in the game is an advantage. Many players have a very deep understanding of game design.　　As long as thinking ability, after professional exercise, is the opportunity to become a good game designers.　　Sina game: "Win in the Giants" also provide players with the opportunity to join the Giants team? Liu Wei: we have the same standards of audit for all teams. Don't judge a team or project simply because a person is a player or not a player. In theory, players also have the same opportunity to join the Giants, but in our basic requirements, we also focus on the concept of "basic knowledge", from simple players to real professional game planning, but also need some basic game development knowledge. Welcome to the players who are interested in playing the game to enter the field of game development, for the development of the field to make their own contribution.
