Before leaving, Zhao Xudong carefully confirmed: "Mr. Liu, is it really five years?"

Liu Yun was slightly stunned, and then said: "Of course, there is no shortage of money-making games for Yoyo, so I hope to extend the development cycle of this game and strive for excellence." We needed a 3D game that could be used to become a representative 3D game and prove our R&D capabilities to the world. ”

He still has a sentence in his heart that he has not revealed to his subordinates, this "Moonlight Knife at the End of the World" should be the finale of Yoyo's end game.

After the opening of the mobile Internet era, the company's R&D focus will inevitably shift to mobile games.

Liu Yun's launch time for "The Moon Knife at the End of the World" is roughly set for 2012.

This time was an important turning point between PCs and smartphones, and since then, the gap has become more and more irreversible.

The penguins in the previous life were also slow and meticulous, and they were also carefully polished for this game.

But they also repeatedly jumped tickets, and finally set the launch time in 2015.

In Liu Yun's opinion, this point in time is actually a bit late. At that time, online competitive battle games were already popular, and mobile online games were also emerging, diverting a large number of players.

2015 is not the right time to accumulate players and build user bonding.

So he advanced this point in time by three years, as the finale of Yoyo's PC era.

With the boss's commitment, Zhao Xudong can immediately start preparing and set up a project team for the game.

Nearly half of 2017 has passed, and Liu Yun roughly reviewed all the work of Youyou in the first half of the year.

1. Three popular games have been launched one after another. 2. Establish a joint venture with Sina to secretly prepare a microblog project. 3. YOYO voice and QQ adopt a user sharing plan, which is a foreshadowing for the mobile Internet in a few years. 3. Injected capital into 360 Mall. 4. Acquired Qunar.com. 5. Finalize a new game project.

And that's just the virtual industry, and the industrial projects include a commercial complex and a tourist resort.

Liu Yun's original plan was to temporarily slow down the pace of the company's expansion in 2007, but after a careful review, it was found that it was only half a year, and he unknowingly did so many things.

……

Shanghai, Ctrip office building.

Lao Liang quickly got a reply from Yoyo, no transfer fee, 50% profit sharing, and at the same time, he also got a message that Yoyo Holiday Network has obtained a controlling stake in Qunar.com.

The terrible news came one after another, and he couldn't help but rub his forehead, and a feeling of haggard welled up in his heart.

For half a year, he was still counting on this game masterpiece to attract money and close the distance between Ctrip and Yoyo, but now the situation is that Yoyo has ridden away, and Ctrip has fallen into the quagmire.

Since the open beta of "World of Miracles", in just three months, all his beautiful illusions have been shattered, and heaven has fallen to hell in an instant.

But can this blame Liu Yun? Lao Liang shook his head silently, this game was originally chosen by himself without hesitation, and he also fantasized that it could be the same as the original Nine Cities, and then the game of the Miracle series soared into the sky, but the result was directly rushed to the abyss.

Luckily, he didn't notice a detail when Yoyo announced that he had postponed the open beta date of Dungeons & Warriors by 3 months, otherwise he would have vomited three liters of blood when he saw the game go viral. At the beginning, he obviously gave up the game and chose "World of Wonders".

Lao Liang is also thinking about whether it is because Ctrip does not have much operational experience, which leads to the breaking of a good hand. For example, he also felt some remorse for the double charge model of the point card plus prop mall.

But the wood was already in the boat, and he understood that it was too late to regret it, so he thought of a remedy.

Yoyo has the best operational ability in the industry, so he wants to throw this pot to the other party to reduce his losses.

But the other party's offer conditions are really harsh, and it is simply a robbery while the fire is burning.

"Lu Ming!" Lao Liang retracted his thoughts and slapped the table heavily, "It's all your bad idea, look at how much you have lost the company by making a mess of this game, do you know?"

Lu Ming said with a crying face: "Mr. Liang, the quality of this game itself is also problematic, and there is a lack of sustainable attention to players." ”

Lao Liang raised his eyebrows and said, "According to what you mean, I just don't have any responsibility?"

Lu Ming immediately lowered his head, he chose to be silent, knowing that continuing to defend would only make the boss even angrier.

What's more, this dual model was his idea, and he swore to the boss at that time that in this way, the revenue would inevitably continue to rise, and he really regarded those players as the wronged ones.

And reality immediately poured cold water on his head.

"Mr. Liang, I am also doing this for the sake of the company. Lu Ming still had to explain his behavior.

"You're really embarrassed to say that!" Lao Liang glared at him and said, "For the sake of the company, I did bad things with good intentions." No matter how big the company's losses are, are you excusable?"

This...... , Lu Ming had a very bad premonition in his heart, this decisive boss may have to adjust his position.

"If you can get Yoyo to take this plate at a cost, forget it, and count you as making up for it. Lao Liang sighed and said, "But what is your reply to me, 0 transfer fee! So why did I let you talk, even if you let a company's door security guard talk, it won't be this kind of result. ”

Lu Ming was a little anxious, and said: "Mr. Liang, now you are strong, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and there is no way to do many situations, it's not that I don't want to fight for it, but I'm really powerless." We don't have much capital left to negotiate with them. ”

Lao Liang blinked his eyes and said, "If you encounter a problem, you have to find a way to solve it, otherwise I want you to be the assistant to the president, what is the difference between pulling someone and you." ”

He was on fire at the moment, and he had to find a target to discover. This Lu Ming, who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, naturally cannot escape the anger of Lao Liang.

"From now on, I will officially dismiss you from the position of assistant to the president and go back to the administration department. ”

Lao Liang waved his hand a little impatiently and said.

He has to do something and make a statement to the management, but also to the shareholders of the company, that someone has to take responsibility.

He is the boss, so the only one who bears the blame can only be his assistant.

"The thief-eyed guy used to look at him as clever, but now the more he looks at it, the more annoying he becomes, and he will only cause trouble for me. ”

After Lao Liang sent away Lu Ming, who was full of disappointment, he was in a slightly better mood, at least one guy was his punching bag.

Shen Peng, another founder of Ctrip, stood at the door, watching Lu Ming leave with a dejected face, his face expressionless.

"Lao Liang, dissipate your anger. He walked into the office and smiled.

"Lao Shen, we are in a stalemate, do you have a way to break the situation?" said Lao Liang with a bitter smile.

"I managed to save up a little bit of money, and I almost lost it in this game. We should pull back from the precipice!"

"Pull back from the precipice?"

"Let's give up on the game market. Although the rewards are high, the risks are huge, and we are really not good at it! I have a feeling that this time it is Yoyoyo who has given us a hand. ”

Lao Liang was slightly stunned and asked, "How can you see it?"

"Yoyo has the most accurate game operations vision in the industry, and their team often sees far-reaching. That's why each of their games is a big hit.

They must have carefully studied the market and were not optimistic about the prospects of World of Wonders, so they pushed the game to us. ”

Lao Liang squinted his eyes slightly and said, "But I chose this game myself." ”

Shen Peng replied: "The shadow of the tree, the name of the person." They know the fame of the Marvel series of games and deliberately lead you to do so. ”

"So what do we do now?"

"Give up this business and agree to Yoyo's request. ”

"Such a domineering request, this is too much of a loss. ”

"Lao Liang, we need to reshift our focus to the OTA business in order to stop the bleeding and correct errors in time. ”

Lao Liang raised his head, leaned back in his chair a little weakly, and said: "Nearly 100 million yuan of money has been lost, and Ctrip's funds are running out, so what can you compete with Youyou." Do you want to raise money again?"

Shen Peng squinted his eyes slightly and said, "That can only be financing." We have an advantage over Yoyo that they don't have, Ctrip is a company listed on the NASDAQ in the United States, and the stock market in the United States recognizes the AB share system, which means that we can further raise funds to dilute the equity, but it does not affect the control of our founders over Ctrip. After all, the majority of the voting power is still in our hands. ”

Lao Liang nodded, he understood all these meanings.

Shen Peng paused for a moment and continued: "At that time, the financier of Yoyo Vacation was Priceline, the world's OTA website giant, and I originally thought about letting them invest in Ctrip, but I didn't expect that Liu Yun not only took the lead, but also signed an exclusive agreement. But this is not a dead end, our old friend Sequoia Capital should help us, but the price cannot be as generous as Priceline's for Yoyo. ”

Lao Liang closed his eyes slightly and pondered for a while, and then began to reflect his resoluteness as the helmsman.

"Lao Shen, the B-share system is our advantage, and we should make use of it as much as possible. After the financing arrives, Ctrip will re-enter the hotel reservation business, which is roughly scheduled for early next year. ”

Shen Peng flashed his eyes and said, "This time we thought of a piece, and this is also my idea." Now that the operation of the game has been abandoned, the agreement between us and Yoyo has come to an end. By the way, I have one more suggestion. ”

"What advice?"

"It's true that Ali has a stake in Yoyo Holiday.com, but we don't need to worry too much about these details. I suggest that Ctrip's payment system also introduce Alipay, and our existing Tencent Tenpay will increase our user base. ”

After a moment of silence, Lao Liang finally nodded and said, "I agree with this method." ”

Now that the Internet is big and new OTA websites are constantly pouring in, he chose to develop in a low-key manner and keep his one-third of an acre of land first.

……

Yangcheng, Guangdong Province.

As one of the Internet bigwigs, Ding Sanshi is now in a little anxious mood.

At this time, he had to admire Liu Yun's methods.

Tencent and Sina, two unrelated Internet companies, seem to have been dragged onto their own chariot by a thread.

Through this hand, Yoyo has almost covered the entire social system of the Internet, and it is an ecological chain that is closely linked to each other.

Liu Yun has always hoped that NetEase will make a public statement and give up its coveting of Warcraft.

Ding Sanshi understood that this was the other party's means of bullying others. If NetEase really did this, it must be under pressure from Youyou, and he also understands that neither he nor the company will be able to raise his head in the industry from now on.

So he kept holding on. He relied on the fact that "Fantasy Journey to the West" is still very profitable, and "Journey to the West 2" also has good profitability, as for the traffic of the 163 website is declining, Tencent.com is constantly approaching and catching up. It's not a nerve-wracking thing, just endure it and it's over.

What made him even more depressed was the rumors of Fang Jian. It is very likely that his qualification as the richest man on the Internet will not be kept, and it is very likely that he will be replaced by Liu Yun, who has just turned 22 years old.

Last year, Liu Yun's ranking had just squeezed into the top 100 of the rich list, ranking 97th, while Ding Sanshi was ranked 11th.

In less than a year, the reason why such earth-shaking changes have taken place stems from the miracle of Yoyo Games in the industry.

Last year, Liu Yun only had two cash cows, one large and one small, Warcraft and Demon Domain, but now, he has added three more cash cows in his hands.

This game is a popular one, "Crossfire", "Zhu Xian", and "Dragon Babu", which makes Liu Yun's wealth snowball, increasing.

At the beginning, Chen Tianqiao relied on a legend to achieve the position of the richest man, and Liu Yun has five popular games in his hands, and it is also a predictable thing that the ranking will continue to soar.

In this time and space, he opened the perspective of God, and in terms of the agency and research and development of the game, he took this advantage to the extreme.

Liu Yun also thought very thoroughly, where I can open the hanging, I can choose the easy mode, why should I retreat to the second best thing and choose the hard mode?

Li Riqiang walked up to Ding Sanshi and said, "Mr. Ding, the meeting between you and Mr. Youyou Liu will be delayed for a few days. According to Yoyo's reply, their boss has already boarded a passenger plane to Taipei. ”

Ding Sanshi lifted the frame of the mirror and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Riqiang shook his head and said with some dissatisfaction: "Youyou's side only said that the boss had something, but didn't say the specific reason. Now they are acting too blindly, and they will reschedule when they say they will reschedule. ”

How did he know that Tian Fu's selection for the Golden Melody Award was a sudden incident.

On the choice of seeing Ding Fat Man or seeing Tian Fu, is it necessary for Liu Yun to hesitate?

After hearing this, Ding Sanshi thought for a while and smiled: "It's okay, I won't go to Ningjiang first, let's go to Shanghai." I want to meet the CEO of Ctrip. ”
