Chapter 156: The Opportunity for the Fish to Leap into the Dragon Gate (Three Watches)
Liu Shihua's proposal was actually considered by Liu Yun a few days ago, and Yoyoluo did this step and indeed reached a state of saturation. He founded Youyou to test the waters of the Internet half a year ago, and he didn't expect to come this far in such a short period of time.
If the trajectory of history has not deviated, there is still at least half a year before Baidu comes to inquire, so what can Liu Yun do in this half a year? Or do nothing with Erlang's legs crossed, just waiting for the person in charge of Baidu to contact him?
He counted the two industries in his hands, and as long as the navigation page 123 did not die, it would always be the overlord of this industry until the advent of the 360 browser. Although the investment in making a guide page is low, the cost of promotion is not low. Since several large Internet companies have reached an agreement on resource exchange with Yoyoluo, they will not target this market for a while.
The same is true for Youyou, but every year Huaxia's online game market will generate billions of yuan of wealth, but unfortunately as the first game station, the advertising cost can only be obtained is a drop in the bucket, so it can not attract the attention of those powerful companies for the time being.
At this moment, Liu Yun looked around and felt a blank look in his heart, but he didn't know what to do next?
He has a lot of ideas in his head, such as trying to blog, which will surely bring a lot of popularity to the company.
But Liu Yun understands a truth, in the Internet industry, especially in the Internet in Huaxia, it is nothing more than you copy me, I copy you, everyone copies back and forth, and now there is not much awareness of copyright.
Youyou is just a game station,The number of friends online is much worse than several major portal stations,Although there are a lot of people who use 123,It's a pity that most friends just use this navigation to facilitate themselvesγ These users have little to no glue and loyalty, which is why 123's advertising price is not expensive.
If he really developed a blog, he would have made a wedding dress for Sina or Yi, and he might end up losing all his money and effort, because this industry is so cruel, big fish eat small fish, not because he is a reborn person who can do whatever he wants.
He didn't want to follow Liu Shihua's suggestion to be a portal station. Today's four major portal stations have almost squeezed this market to the point that there is only a gap left, and he is looking for death if he squeezes it inside, as well as doing community forums and chat software, which is even more unreasonable, if you can't be the first in the industry, you can only burn money in it without limits, which is a bottomless pit.
After the meeting, Liu Yun took Liu Yueru back to his office.
"Sister, what do you think of Director Liu's ideas?" he asked as soon as he sat down in his chair. When the two are still sisters and brothers in private, they can only know everything by letting go of the relationship between the boss and their subordinates.
"It's just looking good. Liu Yueru frowned and replied directly, "But it's not very feasible, and it's very money-burning." We have insufficient foundation and limited funds, portals, community forums, chat software, no matter which investment fails, it is possible for our company to disappear in the Internet industry. β
Liu Yun continued: "When I was in the meeting just now, I didn't agree with it in my heart, but now I just want to hear your suggestion, and the two of us have the same idea. β
Liu Yueru thought for a while and said: "Director Liu's technical ability is good, after all, he came out of Sohu Company, but he doesn't dare to compliment this vision, and his ideas should be treated with caution." β
Liu Yun agreed with Liu Yueru's words, but he didn't blame Liu Shihua, his original intention was good, and he hoped that the company could have new projects, but whether to accept his suggestion was Liu Yun's business.
"In today's Internet industry, if you want to make money and make a lot of money, the best way can only be to play online games. Liu Yun's mind is very clear about which network games will make money in the next few years.
Liu Yueru understands the character of this cousin, and since he said so, it is not untargeted. Perhaps he really had this idea in his mind.
"Affiliate games may make you a lot of money, but it can also make you lose all your money and wipe out all your wealth. Liu Yueru hesitated for a moment and continued, "Because of the popularity of the Huaxia network game market, in the past two years, many new game companies will appear every year, and many game companies will also disappear. β
She has done a very detailed and in-depth investigation of the online game market and gave her own analysis: "The games represented by these companies have a mediocre response in the market, and in the end, they cannot make ends meet, resulting in financial difficulties, unsustainable, and embarked on the road of bankruptcy. β
Liu Yun is a person who has come over, and has witnessed the tour market in the next ten years, and can't help nodding and praised: "The world only saw the grand Chen Tianqiao acting as a legend with 300,000 US dollars, and only saw Zhu Jun from Jiucheng acting as a miracle with 2 million US dollars, and saw them become billionaires overnight, but they didn't see that countless white bones have accumulated behind them." There are only a few successful agency companies, but there are countless failures, and sometimes there are fate. β
After listening to her cousin's words, Liu Yueru nodded and said seriously: "We have finally come to this point, although the operating income is not as good as a few large Internet companies, but it can also be regarded as self-sufficient, do you really need such a big gamble?"
Liu Yun was silent, and his heart was even more inclined to act as an agent for an online game to obtain huge cash income for the company.
Liu Yueru continued: "I'll take World of Warcraft as an example, there are too many game practitioners who call it epic games, but so what? There are too many high-rated European and American games that have encountered Waterloo in China, and the market's reaction is the only indicator. β
Hearing that his cousin suddenly started World of Warcraft in advance, Liu Yun's heart moved, and he asked, "Has the agent of this game been decided?"
In his memory, around March this year, Blizzard and Nine Cities would issue a joint announcement to confirm the game's distributor in Huaxia.
However, the actual agreement between the two companies should be in January this year, but the official announcement will be postponed to March.
So in the previous life, at such a point in time, everyone had already tacitly agreed that there was only one official announcement left.
"No, Blizzard just contacted Shanda a few days ago, and there is still no negotiation of conditions. Liu Yueru shook her head and said.
At this moment, a trace of inexplicable feeling flashed in Liu Yun's heart, from the turmoil caused by the Miracle Player's rights protest to the attack and injury of Blizzard's vice president, there was an irreparable crack between Jiucheng and Blizzard, and the price difference between the two sides was too big to reach an agreement.
Later, Blizzard approached Yi and Shanda again, and the two companies also felt that Blizzard's conditions were too harsh and did not agree.
Easy to have a fantasy journey to the west, grand and bloody legends, these two games are like a huge cash cow, which continues to bring huge economic benefits to the company.
Therefore, these two companies are not willing to gamble and spend huge agency fees to represent a European and American game that they have no bottom in mind.
Because so far, those European and American tours that are not popular have been treated coldly in the Chinese market without exception.
After listening to his cousin's analysis, Liu Yun's heart turned up a lot of waves, and he realized that this might be an opportunity to leap into the dragon gate.
