Chapter 446: Making money is also an art

A second before his eyes, a seven-foot man was still crying, which made people feel embarrassed.

The next second, he slapped the table and said this, Wu Tao knew that he probably couldn't believe it.

But as a boss, giving every subordinate the opportunity to speak freely is the most basic right that a leader gives to his subordinates.

So Wu Tao didn't go deep into the argument 'you're crazy', but stretched out his hand and said, 'Please start your performance'.

Qiu Xiaotian first cherished the photos of Xiao Xiaotian, and then stroked the ecstatic long hair and said: "As far as I know, Blizzard Entertainment has accepted an acquisition from Davidson & Associates since its establishment, and finally reached a win-win situation. ”

“...... Subsequently, Blizzard Entertainment acquired Condor, which has strengthened its wings and has a group of software research and development elites!"

“...... At present, under the impact of the Internet bubble in the United States, Blizzard Entertainment is also deeply concerned. I don't think they should be reluctant to buy and acquire M&A plans, as long as the price is right. ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Xiaotian paused specially, and Wu Tao nodded, "You continue." ”

Qiu Xiaotian understood that he didn't like what he meant, so he changed his words and said: "If the acquisition is not feasible, in fact, we can also gradually get involved in the field of video games by establishing an Asian agency to promote Blizzard Entertainment's games." ”

“...... These two ideas can set up our own game company in a short period of time, and get familiar with the operation process of the game company as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the development of our own games. ”

After that, Qiu Xiaotian dried the coffee in the cup in one gulp.

Wu Tao nodded, he could see that he had always flaunted himself as an artist, and it was not easy to say so much today.

After all, as an artist, I used to be very disdainful of these worldly means of operation.

Now, in just over half a year, I have come into contact with and learned so many ways of operating the company, which is really a great progress.

Therefore, Wu Tao did not make any assertions, so as not to discourage the enthusiasm of the other party.

"I'm very happy to see the acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment come to fruition because I'm very optimistic about the future of video games. On the other hand, video games are also a big springboard for us to get involved in the Internet industry in the future. ”

At this point, Qiu Xiaotian suddenly interrupted: "Wait, boss, I don't understand. What does video games have to do with the Internet industry, and how did they become a big springboard?"

Wu Tao took a sip of coffee and muttered: "The fun of video games lies not only in the freshness of the game itself, but also in the tension of competitive confrontation. The Internet platform is a necessary medium to develop this kind of competitive confrontation to the whole network. ”

“...... When the time comes, every gamer will be able to play against other gamers from all over the world. In the battle, you can learn skills, make the game more interesting, and even exchange different ethnic cultures. That's where the biggest playability of video games comes in. ”

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Xiaotian slapped his thigh and said, "No wonder Blizzard Entertainment is trying its best to promote an online server called 'Battle.net'. In fact, I haven't understood it these days. After you say this, it turns out that the trick is here. ”

“...... However, the acquisition of the company requires a professional to cooperate with me before it is possible to carry out the work. So boss, you're going to have to send me someone. ”

Wu Tao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you'll see her soon." ”

"Really, fake?" Qiu Xiaotian also looked incredulous. After all, listening to this, it seems that Wu Tao thinks everything in front of his head.

But only he knows that the idea of acquiring Blizzard Entertainment was simply his whim.

If the young man in front of him wants everything in front of his head, it will be terrible.

I have to take it!

Sure enough, success is never easy.

Strategy, vision, and even the control of subordinates are indispensable.

Wu Tao looked at his watch and said, "She still has twenty minutes to arrive." ”

Qiu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little thirsty, refilled a cup of coffee to calm down, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

In the team of its own boss, two large companies with assets of more than 100 million yuan have been born, and it is not unusual to have some elites under their command.

It's just that after more than half a year of cultivation, whether he can be among this group of businesses is still a question.

For a moment, Qiu Xiaotian felt a lot of pressure.

The previous chatter, the courage to be completely reckless, disappeared, and the whole person became much more low-key, and began to ask questions shamelessly.

"So boss, if the acquisition fails, what do you think about the way to set up an agency company?"

Wu Tao clasped his hands together and said: "Actually, compared with the idea of acquiring Blizzard Entertainment, I am more inclined to the idea of establishing an agency company. But to go this way, there are two key points that need to be addressed. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Xiaotian immediately took out a pen and paper and began to record.

This period of learning in the United States, he doesn't know anything about English, God knows how he carried it.

But there's no denying that some good habits are forming. For example, 'a good memory is not as good as a bad pen', 'throwing bricks to lead jade', etc.

"The first point is how to convince Blizzard Entertainment to agree to this form of cooperation. ”

"The second point is how to establish new profit points while promoting video games in China, where the audience for video games is the largest. ”

After Qiu Xiaotian finished writing, he couldn't help but start to wonder, "I understand the first point you said, but the second point really doesn't make sense." Could it be that the profit point of China will be different from that of other countries and regions?"

For this question, Wu Tao only said four words, "copyright awareness." ”

Qiu Xiaotian was also a little thorough, and he understood it in an instant, and he said with great empathy at the moment: "That's right, at present, StarCraft genuine games cost hundreds of dollars for one, which is indeed a luxury consumption in China." Few people are willing to spend a month's salary on a game. ”

“...... But apart from the profit point of selling genuine games, is there any new profit point that can be considered?"

Wu Tao smiled, knocked on the table and said: "Huaxia people are not willing to pay for the genuine version of a game, does it mean that they are not willing to pay for any feature of the game?"

Speaking of which, Qiu Xiaotian was completely confused, and he couldn't keep up with his train of thought at all.

"Obviously not!" Wu Tao knocked on the table rhythmically and said: "It's like the consistent routine of many tourist areas in China, take pictures for free, don't look good and don't need money!"

“...... As soon as they heard this slogan, many people couldn't help but shoot it, anyway, it doesn't look good and they don't want money. But after the photos were washed out on the spot, many people's psychology immediately changed. After all, it's a pity not to leave a souvenir for a trip. ”

Qiu Xiaotian's eyebrows lit up when he heard this, "I understand, you mean that the payment link can be set in the game according to the consumption habits of Chinese players." Once you enter the door of the game, you will fall deeper and deeper before you know it, and you can't help but start paying. ”

"That's right!" Wu Tao sighed, remembering the popularity of Blizzard entertainment games in the land of China in his previous life, he couldn't help but sigh: "Since ancient times, I can't keep my affection, and the most common thing is to win people's hearts!"

Qiu Xiaotian slapped his thigh, "Incisive, it's just incisive! No wonder you can be the boss, we can only be employees." Making money is also an art, and for the routine of taking pictures of tourist attractions, you can think of the new profit points of video games in China, and I simply admire them. ”

“...... That's why you're an artist, an artist who really knows how to make money!"
