Chapter 303: Demon Domain and Zhu Immortal
The five words of Warcraft Dependence are like a spell that has been surrounding the heads of the Nine Cities Company in the previous life, and even if they try their best, they still can't get rid of it.
In 2009, they were drawn from NetEase and fell into the abyss.
After Liu Yun saw the financial statements, these five words also appeared in his heart. He pinned his hopes on Yoyo Holiday.com, hoping that this website could make a profit as soon as possible.
As for the agency power to act for "Dragon Babu", it was just a temptation for him.
Not to mention whether Sohu is willing to give up its own right to operate, this game has just been established, and it will take two years to officially launch it.
Liu Shihua thought that the company would set up a game research and development team by itself, so that with hematopoietic ability, he was not afraid of being controlled by others.
Liu Yun leaned back in his chair with slightly squinted eyes, did not speak, but fell into deep thought.
His purpose in acting as an agent for "World of Warcraft" is very simple, that is, to make a lot of money, and by the way, to start the reputation of the Internet.
From the beginning to the end, Liu Yun didn't think about whether to set up a game development team.
He knows which games will make money in the next ten years, and directly taking the agency is the simplest and most efficient way.
However, it is unknown whether it can cater to the taste of the market by investing a lot of manpower and financial resources in the early stage to develop a game by itself.
"It is a long process to set up a R&D team, filing, project establishment, production, testing and final launch, and it also requires a lot of capital investment. What's more, not every self-developed game can be as successful as "Fantasy Journey to the West", and there are many examples of failure. Liu Yun thought for a while and voiced his concerns.
When others see him almost crazy about winning the agency of Warcraft, they will think that he is a crazy gambler.
Only he understands that his character is inherently extremely cautious and careful, and does not do things that he is not sure of.
The gambler is just an illusion he left to the world.
The company's management glanced at each other secretly. This boss would say such a thing.
He can take all his net worth and bet on Warcraft, but he is hesitant to set up a game development team. Have they all lost their eyes?
Liu Yun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "The game development team needs a specific plan, after all, we don't have any foundation. Professional talents need to be recruited in the market, and it is best to have relevant industry experience. ”
Liu Shihua hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I have a piece of news and I want to hear Mr. Liu's opinion." ”
Liu Yun smiled and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Liu Shihua cleared his throat and said, "Everyone still remembers the 17173 website." Now they have been reduced to a second-tier gaming site, and the parent company of this site is NetDragon in Minnan Province. ”
"NetDragon saw that the online game market was extremely hot, and it also moved this idea. Their original plan was to sell 17,173 to Sohu, perhaps $20 million, which would be enough for NetDragon to develop a great domestic online game. ”
However, the world is unpredictable. Youyou.com was born, replacing the throne of 17173's first game website. NetDragon and Sohu have not reached an agreement for a long time. There is not enough money to invest today. When their game was developed, they were stuck halfway through and couldn't move for a long time. ”
Liu Yun's heart moved, and he asked, "What is the name of the game developed by NetDragon?"
Liu Shihua said: "It's called "Demon Domain", which was developed by their subsidiary Tianqing Digital, and now it is suffering from lack of funds and slow progress. Boss, I mean you can try to package and buy Tianqing Digital and the game "Demon Domain", and then we will continue to develop it! But I don't dare to determine the market background of this game. ”
When Liu Yun heard Liu Shihua say "Demon Domain", his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
He hasn't played this game, but he still remembers that when "Demon Domain" was the most popular, it could be ranked in the top three domestic online games. In layman's terms, it is also a very profitable game.
Liu Yun realized that the butterfly effect of the game website Youyou.com, which was established at the beginning, was still continuing. Without that $20 million, NetDragon wouldn't have enough money to continue developing the game "Demon Domain". This is a great opportunity.
He took a deep breath, pretended to be calm and said, "Contact NetDragon, and say that Yoyo Network is very sincere in packaging "Demon Domain" and Tianqing Digital. ”
Liu Shihua's eyes lit up, and the meaning of the boss was already very clear. He agreed to his suggestion and set out to set about building a game development team.
Liu Yun continued to smile and said: "If we really want to develop an online game, in addition to "Demon Domain", we should keep a backup. For example, we can learn from Sohu and win the adaptation rights of popular games. For example, the current very popular Xianxia "Zhu Xian"!"
Several of the younger managers present glanced at each other in some surprise. Several of them had read it too. The boss even had his eye on it.
Liu Yun's fingers tapped on the table and said, "After you find this author, you will buy out the game copyright of this book." The contract must be written on a desktop client, a web version, and a mobile version. ”
What the hell is this? Liu Shihua frowned and showed puzzlement.
Liu Yun continued: "Some games can be played directly on the web, such as online games like the 4399 website, and there are also those small games on the mobile phone, such as jerking off and stacking blocks. ”
Chen Shihua asked a little puzzled: "Can this kind of small game make money?"
When Liu Yun heard this, he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you can make money or not, what I want is the full copyright of the game." Can't take this golden IP ...... This one is good and left for other competitors. ”
He said it too fast, and even blurted out the IP, and the Xin Qi reacted quickly enough to change his words directly.
In the previous life, Perfect Space launched one 3D online game after another, but netizens once jokingly said that these games were all multiple births, which were similar.
Although the game "Zhu Xian" made a lot of money for Perfect Time and Space, Liu Yun still thinks that they have not tapped into the true essence of this book.
He suddenly felt that he should try it, could this game be more successful in his own hands than the operation of Perfect Plane?
"Zhu Xian" and "Demon Domain", if you have these two games, Warcraft dependence should not be so serious, and you don't have to be pinched by Blizzard when the time comes. After all, the scene of Jiucheng Company in his previous life is still vivid, and he is too profound.
As for "Dragon Babu", which Sohu has just started developing, Liu Yun just has a mentality of trying: I am fortunate to have it, but I have lost my life. ()
