February 15, morning.

Century Games, Inc.

Assistant Zhou Yanyan came in with the folder: "Chairman, please sign." ”

Lin Weidong flipped through it for a while, and then signed the document: "Is there anything else?"

Zhou Yanyan closed the folder and seemed to remember something: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Guo Yihong of IDG Capital made an appointment with you before and wanted to bring his team members to our company for inspection. ”

Lin Weidong nodded: "I know, when are they going to come?"

Zhou Yanyan said: "It should be the 18th." ”

Lin Weidong said with a straight face: "Okay, then you can say hello to Director Chen later, and ask her to make the financial statements more beautiful, just say that I arranged it." ”

Zhou Yanyan nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away." ”

After Zhou Yanyan left the office, Lin Weidong sat on a high-backed chair and silently lit a cigarette.

In other words, since Century Games Company made a name for itself in the Internet circle with the online game "Glory of Kings", many venture capital companies like IDG Capital have come to visit it one after another.

However, compared with most venture capital companies in China, IDG Capital obviously has more strength and financial resources.

As an American company, IDG Capital is a technology venture capital firm founded in 1992 and conducts venture capital activities in China, and is the first foreign investment fund to enter China.

For more than a decade, IDG Capital has focused on investing in technology-based companies and companies driven by technology and innovation.

As of the first half of 2006, IDG Capital has supported more than 100 outstanding enterprises in various industries in China, including Ferry and Sohu, 15 of which have been listed or exited through mergers and acquisitions in overseas markets.

In Lin Weidong's view, if Century Games can be escorted by IDG capital, then its road to listing will be more stable.

Of course, it's too early to say anything, Lin Weidong's idea is to hope that Century Games will have a chance to go public, as for whether this idea can be realized, it is still unknown.

After all, in the past three years, Century Games Company has only had two online games, "Glory of Kings" and "Sou Shen Ji", and the plate is too small, and it is difficult to get a large investment.

Even Shanda's listed company, in addition to "Legend", has also launched "Bubble Hall", a phenomenal online game with a maximum of more than 600,000 simultaneous online users.

Moreover, in November 2005 alone, Shanda also launched three games, including "Legend of Blood", "Legend World", and "Dream Country".

These three online games adopt the "free games, value-added service charges", and their games fully implement the free model, and create a new profit model in the online game industry - CSP (come-stay-pay).

Therefore, Lin Weidong has been urging his studios to launch the third online game of Century Games as soon as possible in the past few months.

Subsequently, Lin Weidong held an internal meeting at Century Games, mainly to select the new game projects to be launched by Century Games.

In this meeting, each of the three studios came up with their own game projects.

To Lin Weidong and Xu Bo's disappointment, the new games planned by the three studios did not meet their requirements.

However, Lin Weidong is also very clear that it is not easy to launch an online game that can become popular on the Internet.

Because in Lin Weidong's impression, there are no more than ten online games that can really be called phenomenal.

After the meeting.

Xu Bo looked at Lin Weidong with a solemn expression in the chairman's office, and persuaded with a smile: "Lin Dong, don't worry, good games are hard to find." ”

Lin Weidong nodded: "I know, I'm not in a hurry, I'm just a little disappointed." ”

Without waiting for Xu Bo to answer, Lin Weidong continued: "If our company wants to go to the next level, it will definitely not work with only one game of "Glory of Kings". ”

Xu Bo sighed: "Yes, our company now has only one really weighty game, "Glory of Kings". ”

"Although "Sou Shen Ji" can also bring us good income, but the only one that can really compete with companies such as Shanda, NetEase, and Tencent is "Glory of Kings" after all. ”

"But Lin Dong, I think that if our company can launch a few more online games like "Sou Shen Ji", it can also enhance our company's competitiveness. ”

After listening to Xu Bo's words, Lin Weidong said with relief: "Old Xu, you are right, fly legs are also meat, it may be that the starting point of "Glory of Kings" is too high, which makes me always want to make another online game of the same level." ”

""Sou Shen Ji" is a little worse, but now every month, at least one or two million income. ”

Xu Bo joked with a smile: "So, we Century Games should deepen cooperation with Century Chinese to see if there is an IP suitable for adaptation into an online game." ”

After talking to Xu Bo, Lin Weidong immediately dialed Liu Limin's phone.

In the past few months, Lin Weidong has not paid much attention to Century Chinese, and almost all of his time and energy have been invested in Century Games and "Glory of Kings".

Obviously, the current Liu Limin knows the situation of Century Chinese Network better than Lin Weidong.

After the phone was connected, Lin Weidong asked with a smile, "Minmin, are you busy with work?"

Liu Limin on the other end of the phone replied with a smile: "I'm not busy, what's wrong?

Lin Weidong denied with a smile: "I won't go to the company, let's eat together in the evening." ”

After listening to Lin Weidong's words, Liu Liling smiled and said, "Okay, where to eat?"

"I'll pick you up when I'm ready. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you. ”

In the evening, Lin Weidong pushed down all the banquets and took her to a Western restaurant.

The owner of this western restaurant is very good at creating an atmosphere and knows the effect of watching beautiful women under the lamp, and the soft and dim lighting here inadvertently creates a dreamlike romantic atmosphere.

On the bandstage, a small band in black tuxedos is playing Bach's string quartet intently.

Elegant music seems to float gently from a long distance, and a crystal goblet full of red wine is placed on the snow-white tablecloth, and the light reflects the colorful light on the crystal glass, which has an aphrodisiac effect.

Under the soft and dim light, Liu Limin, who was wearing a black deep V long dress, looked sexy and so bright and moving.

Lin Weidong admired her beauty and kept talking.

And Liu Limin listened intently to Lin Weidong's words, and her eyes flashed with emotion.

After chatting for a while, Lin Weidong asked Liu Limin: "By the way, Minmin, has our website been more popular recently, and it is more suitable for adapting it into a game?"

Liu Limin thought for a while and said: "There are a lot of popular networks, but there are not many that are suitable for adaptation into online games, and "Shushan" should be regarded as one. ”

After listening to Liu Limin's words, Lin Weidong asked with great interest: "Who wrote this book?"

Liu Limin replied: "It was written by an online writer named Wandering Toad. ”

Created by the online writer Wandering Toad, "Shu Mountain", based on the legend of the swordsman of Shu Mountain, creates a perfect online game world.

This classic Shushan-themed online game created by the wandering toad not only gained great popularity on the Century Chinese Network, but also drove a large number of online articles written about Shushan swordsman.

In addition, the book "Shushan" also brought a popular phrase on the Internet: "Don't be too drunk and green cow!"

To put it simply, "Shushan" is a very pure online game, in which players control magic weapons, flying swords, etc., and PK each other's character and personality stories.

From Liu Limin's mouth, after learning about the specific situation of the book "Shushan", Lin Weidong had a bottom in his heart.

In Lin Weidong's view, just the content of the book "Shushan" is not enough to be adapted into an online game, but Shushan is a theme suitable for online games.
