Chapter 514: Unexpected Development Trajectory (1st Update)
At this moment, Liu Yun has only two expectations for the mobile Internet era: 1. Youxin will replace WeChat in the previous life and become the overlord of communication and chat software in the smart terminal market. 2. The mobile phones produced by Yoyo can occupy a place in the smart phone market.
If he can do this, it also means that he will leave a deep imprint on this time and space, and he did not go on a trip in vain.
When Liu Yun looked at the deep city from afar and regarded Xiao Ma as a potential imaginary enemy, Xiao Ma was also staring at Youyou, treating them as a mountain that must be crossed.
......
After the National Day holiday, Tencent launched a new game "QQ Speed", a full 3 months earlier than another time and space.
The reason for this is also inseparable from Liu Yun.
He relied on the prophetic information in his head to take the lead and won "Crossfire" and "Dungeons & Warriors", allowing Tencent to focus more on the development and promotion of this game.
At this moment, Liu Yun looked at the pop-up windows that popped up on his QQ from time to time to promote "QQ Speed". He realized that the step he took instead of Tencent had made the future unpredictable.
As far back as he can remember, the penguins in his previous life didn't pay as much attention to the promotion of the game as they do now.
A few years ago, Liu Yun also had the idea of "Running Kart", but thinking that this game was easy to imitate and the consistent style of penguins, he quickly put out this idea.
Sometimes, the inertia of history is strong. This game is promoted through Tencent bundled with QQ, and the effect is very significant, and the popularity is a step higher than that of the previous life.
"We've been staring at Aion, which is still in beta, and we've been ignoring the game's huge benefits for Tencent. Zhao Xudong flashed his eyes and said in a melancholy tone.
Liu Yun leaned back in a chair, holding a financial statement recording revenue in his hand, and was silent.
His mood was a little more complicated than Zhao Xudong's. Because he understands that the person who caused such a butterfly effect is himself.
"Mr. Liu. Zhao Xudong saw the boss frowning and continued: "The agent of "Running Kart" in China, Century Tiancheng just issued an announcement to reprimand Tencent for this behavior. ”
Liu Yun pursed his lips with some disdain: "It's useless." ”
This industry practices the most brutal law of the jungle, the law of the jungle. As long as there is a clear prohibition in the law, Century Tiancheng has no choice but to issue an announcement to condemn it.
As for the condemnation of those netizens, it won't be taken seriously for a while, as long as it doesn't affect them to make money.
Sometimes, the reality is often tinged with irony, and a company's reputation is inversely proportional to its revenue.
Zhao Xudong hesitated for a while and asked, "Mr. Liu, should we support Century Tiancheng and pull a banner of righteousness?"
Liu Yun hurriedly shook his head and vetoed, and said, "What kind of banner is being pulled? There is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is no righteousness in the business war. ”
Although he was worried about Tencent, he quickly vetoed this somewhat absurd plan.
In Liu Yun's view, Century Tiancheng is just a dou who can't be supported, in the previous life, because of the lag in the update of the version of "Running Kart", it can be said that a good hand of cards was played poorly, so that Tencent's "QQ Speed" can achieve corner overtaking, of course, this is also inseparable from the huge drainage role of QQ.
Liu Yun shook the document in his hand lightly, threw it on the table, and said in a flat tone: "In the online game industry, the situation of the top three came earlier than I expected. ”
It turned out that the document he was watching in his hand just now was the September revenue report, and Tencent relied on the extremely popular "QQ Speed" to officially surpass Shanda and rank among the top three.
Liu Yun waved Zhao Xudong away, saying that he wanted to be quiet alone.
He is the only one left in the huge office. Liu Yun lit a cigarette first, leaned back in a chair, half-tilted his head and smoked slowly, and when the cigarette bottomed out, he still put the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and took out a blank piece of paper from the drawer and drew on it.
He was secretly comparing the second half of 2007 to another time and space.
At this point in time, the online game market in another time and space can be said to be in the Warring States Period, competing with each other.
Jiucheng owns "World of Warcraft", NetEase owns "Fantasy Journey to the West", Sohu owns "Dragon Babu", Perfect Time and Space owns "Zhu Xian", and NetDragon owns "Demon Domain".
In this time and space, not only NetEase, which owns "Fantasy Journey to the West", has been ruthlessly suppressed by Youyou, but the rise momentum of the rest of the companies has been strangled by Liu Yun.
He took the lead and took away the fortune that originally belonged to these companies, and also helped Tencent clear the enemies in front of him.
And YOYO voice and QQ sharing users, although the heat has made Yoyo get more benefits, but Tencent's return from it should not be underestimated, not to mention his computer software butler, for Tencent's games open for free download.
With so many favorable conditions, the strength of this penguin has inadvertently increased rapidly.
They surpassed Shanda earlier than another time and space, squeezing into the top three.
At this moment, Liu Yun was lamenting the elusiveness of fate, and many things would not go according to the trajectory he originally expected.
He is scheming to strangle Tencent's gaming empire and snatch WeChat from him. Now it seems that this is clearly not working as well as expected.
In the Internet, Liu Yun wants to break hands with Tencent and Alibaba, and in the smartphone market, he wants to argue with Huawei and Xiaomi Huashan.
Are you a little too greedy?
......
After Ding Sanshi returned to Yangcheng, he immediately sent his assistant Li Riqiang to contact Blizzard.
He made his attitude clear, and NetEase officially abandoned the agency of Warcraft, but still considered introducing several other games under Blizzard at a favorable price.
Blizzard was a little helpless about NetEase's sudden change of attitude, but it was still helpless.
They looked around the entire Chinese online game market, and it seemed that no company was willing to jump out and take this seemingly tempting fruit.
"Shouldn't the market economy be won by the one with the highest price? Damn Yoyo, he actually relied on his wealth and influence to put pressure on other companies. Blizzard's president said with some dissatisfaction. His assistant was standing beside him, his face full of hesitation.
"Mr. President, we should reach a renewal agreement as soon as possible!"
"Why?"
"Warcraft's revenue has become lower and lower in the proportion of their company's financial reports. It is said that not long ago, they also acquired a controlling stake in Riot Company. You must understand that the R&D personnel of this company are all technical backbones who have left our company. ”
Today's Riot is more of a game studio than a company.
But Blizzard's president, Kaplan, did not dare to take it lightly in the slightest, he understood how terrifying the R&D capabilities of this group of technical backbones who left with entrepreneurial dreams are.
Even though Blizzard still looks like an invulnerable giant, Kaplan knows that the company called Riot, which seems to be an inconspicuous little man, has the potential to bring down the giant.
"When do they plan to launch their games?"
"According to reliable sources, the United States will be in the second half of 2009, and the Chinese side may be in the first half of 2010. ”
"Our contract with Yoyo also expires in 2010, right?"
"Yes, Mr. President. ”
Kaplan sighed and said, "Let's restart negotiations with you." ”
