Chapter 522: The Real Threshold of the Game Industry

Just when Wu Tao was about to go straight to the point with Wang Donglai, the doorbell rang again.

Xue Jiaqian got up to open the door immediately, but it was Qin Xiaoxiao who was carefully dressed.

"Mr. Qin?"

Wu Tao stretched out his head and beckoned: "Come in and sit, I won't go out today, I have wronged a few of you." ”

Qin Xiaoxiao walked in with Xue Jiaqian's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Boss, you said it earlier, I thought I could rub you back to the Rolls-Royce to sit down, and it was in vain that I dressed up for so long......"

Saying that, sitting down, Xue Jiaqian took the initiative to pour her a cup of tea and said, "Mr. Qin, we are to blame for this, it was me and Donglai who came to the door and disrupted your plans." ”

Wu Tao waved his hand and said, "You two come here, you are not presumptuous at all, you obviously want to go with me." And Sister Xiaoxiao's dress is clearly not trying to rub the Rolls-Royce, she is obviously planning to drive her own Ferrari. ”

After a joke, the four of them decisively got to the point.

Wu Tao took out all the information that Shi Qianxue had returned from research in the past few days, and by the way, he also put the planning book with only the framework and title in front of everyone.

I took a few sips of the tea, leaving time for the servants to browse and digest.

"Boss, are you making a big move again?" Qin Xiaoxiao was the first to finish scanning the information at hand and put it down. As for the rest of the details, Wu Tao didn't let her see it, and she wouldn't touch it.

This is also a kind of professional ethics, which ones should be known and which ones should not be known, and there is a ruler in mind.

Wang Donglai and the others were still reading the information, so Wu Tao asked Qin Xiaoxiao first, "Why, are you still so optimistic about the Internet industry?"

After all, Qin Xiaoxiao's previous investment in NetEase 163 was not a positive attitude. So Wu Tao asked.

As soon as Qin Xiaoxiao spoke, she abandoned her subjective consciousness and said objectively: "Judging from the financial reports fed back by Mr. Ding recently, and our financial investigation and tracking, the operation of NetEase's small Internet company is indeed gradually improving. ”

“...... The VIP mailbox business can be regarded as having the right needs of users, and the launch of web advertising is also on the right path. So my previous opinion was indeed a little conservative. ”

Wu Tao waved his hand, "The situation at that time, standing in your position, there is nothing wrong." ”

Naturally, no one is to blame for this, after all, as the leader of an investment company, it is not a bad thing to have a stable style.

As for pioneering and enterprising, it is enough to have a subordinate like Xue Jiaqian.

The two of them just finished chatting here, and Wang Donglai also put down the information over there.

As for Xue Jiaqian, she had already put down the information, but this time she knew that she was not the protagonist, so she chose not to speak to avoid stealing the limelight from her man.

Wang Donglai's reaction was very cautious and subtle, "Boss, I can feel that the game industry is a sunrise industry. Mr. Ding's NetEase case, I have also heard some of Jiaqian talk about it. And I think that the game industry in the future should have more potential than Mr. Ding's Internet business. ”

Wu Tao drank tea, nodded, and motioned for the other party to continue.

Although Wang Donglai said that Taoguang had been obscure for a few years, the foreign ink in his stomach was still there. Immediately holding the information, he said: "Mr. Ding's Internet business, the first threshold for the development of the Internet business is the paid projects and paid channels. ”

“...... Only by identifying the payment points of Internet users and establishing convenient and reliable payment channels can we achieve healthy development and become bigger and bigger like a snowball. ”

“...... This is true for the gaming industry. Wang Donglai's thinking is very clear, "but for the game industry, in addition to the threshold of user payment, it is also largely limited to the coverage of the domestic Internet network and the computer penetration rate." ”

Wu Tao deeply agrees with these two thresholds.

Wang Donglai was able to point out these two points in such a short period of time, which has confirmed his ability and vision. However, Wu Tao still deliberately tested how much his thinking diverged, "What about the specifics?"

When she asked this, not only Xue Jiaqian, but even Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help frowning.

Obviously, Wu Tao's question, they didn't think too deeply.

Wang Donglai clasped his hands together and thought about it: "Boss, then I'll talk about the first threshold, the issue of payment." ”

Wu Tao nodded, and Wang Donglai continued with encouragement: "The payment threshold is facing problems in all aspects. First of all, it is likely that Blizzard Entertainment's game profit model will not work if it is directly copied to China. The difference lies in the lack of copyright awareness of the Chinese people, and even I dare to say that even if Blizzard Entertainment directly comes to China to sell game discs, eighty percent of them will end dismally. ”

“...... Because most of the customers in the domestic game industry are young people and even students, their ability to pay is limited after all, and they do not have the ability to consume genuine games at all. ”

“...... However, with the launch of Blizzard's Entertainment Skynet business, I had a hint of inspiration. Is it possible to change a charging channel and put it online? That is, it is free in the first stage, and the threshold for charging is after the user becomes dependent on the game. ”

Hearing this, Wu Tao couldn't help but exclaim, "Well said!"

As a reborn person, Wu Tao is naturally clear about these, after all, he has experienced it.

However, Wang Donglai does not have such a background, but he can think so deeply, which is very rare.

This just proves that he did not choose the wrong person.

When Wang Donglai saw Wu Tao's reaction, he was a little surprised: "It's just that I don't have an idea of how to collect it and how to collect it." ”

"It's not your fault. Wu Tao waved his hand, "You can think that the payment threshold is in the door, it's already rare." ”

Then he explained in detail, and he didn't hide his private words: "In fact, we can set up paid items through in-game props or level difficulty, as for the payment channel, in the short term, it can be achieved by peddling game point cards, and in the long term, I am afraid that it is necessary to develop a safe and reliable online payment method......"

This can be regarded as a word to wake up the dreamer.

When Wang Donglai heard this, he suddenly said: "Boss, your brain, we can't compare to each other combined." ”

"Really. Xue Jiaqian and Qin Xiaoxiao also echoed.

"Come less!" Wu Tao glared at each other, and scolded with a smile: "Give me a high hat again." ”

Qin Xiaoxiao pulled her sideburns and then said, "Boss, for the second threshold, let me ask a question." According to the current domestic Internet coverage and computer penetration, is your game industry too early?"

“...... After all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if Donglai's business ability is strong and lacks the soil for business development, it is in vain. ”

Wu Tao smiled, but did not answer, but threw the question directly to Wang Donglai and Xue Jiaqian.

Wang Donglai really didn't have an answer, and his brows were wrinkled. However, Xue Jiaqian said with some uncertainty: "Boss, do you probably have an idea to catalyze the development of the entire industry, just like the last time you invested in the business of United Communications Company?"

“...... However, the Internet coverage rate can probably be made by catalysis, but the popularization of computers is closely related to the consumption power of ordinary people, which I think is incomprehensible. ”

Wu Tao didn't say much, only mentioned, "Recently, a Inspur computer has just opened on Xiangnan Road, you probably haven't paid attention to it, right?"

"Computer, right?" Wang Donglai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped his thigh and said, "I thought of ......"
