No matter how obsessed Liu Yun was with Blizzard's games in his previous life, or even how much he admired the world-renowned game company, it couldn't change a fact. Today, they are just business partners, and they have to put aside a lot of subjective emotions and stick to one point of view: the right word is in the middle.

Human nature is selfish, and when there is a conflict of interests, even if the person you admire again, you will see it as a potential enemy in your heart, and you must fight it.

Appreciating and admiring the other person does not mean that the other person is allowed to take more of the cake from his hands.

Liu Shihua looked at the boss's resolute tone, took a deep breath, took the order and left.

When the door of the office was slowly closed again, the corners of Liu Yun's mouth showed a hint of an intriguing smile.

Just now, he said nonchalantly that he didn't mind spending the level 60 version until 2010. Because he thought of a trick that many online game companies play, called "nostalgic version".

When the level limit of Warcraft is raised to level 80, there are countless players who come in and out during this period, and in fact, a large number of people will miss the level 60 version of the past. At that time, it is also very possible for a bunch of Chinese players who are mixed in foreign servers to return to the "nostalgic" version of the national server on a large scale. The lower limit of the game's revenue should be guaranteed.

If NetEase takes over Warcraft at a huge cost after 2010, Blizzard will also be distressed, whether it is appropriate to use the level 70 version of "Burning Crusade" for a period of time, or directly upgrade to the level 80 "Wrath of the Lich King".

When the time comes, it's not Yoyo who should be in a hurry, but Blizzard.

In Liu Yun's view, with a contract in his favor, his biggest negotiation object is the Ministry of Culture of Huaxia, and it has never been Blizzard.

What, you are dissatisfied? This is the national situation, and you have to hold back your dissatisfaction! If you want to make money in China, you have to do this.

For Liu Yun, the status of Warcraft will continue to decline with more and more Yoyo game products, but he is still grateful for this game to provide sufficient financial support for the company's early multi-line attack.

Before getting off work, Liu Yun went to the company's game R&D department again and asked Lin Shiya about the research and development progress of "Zhu Xian", and the answer was that everything went smoothly and will be officially launched after the Spring Festival next year.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Have you finished writing the game draft, and let those portals give me overwhelming publicity when the time comes." ”

The quality of the game is passable, but the publicity must not be left behind. For example, the success of Warcraft is inseparable from its own high-quality game quality, but the role played by later publicity cannot be underestimated.

The fascinating opening CG and the loud slogan of "A world is waiting" all attracted the attention of netizens.

Lin Shiya replied: "Boss, rest assured, the publicity work has begun." I believe that players are full of interest in exploring this new world of Xianxia, just as they did with Warcraft. ”

Liu Yun asked again, "As far as Zhu Xian is concerned, who do you think our main competitor will be?"

Lin Shiya did not hesitate, and replied: "Perfect World, which has just been launched, should be the most successful domestic 3D online game so far. ”

Liu Yun smiled meaningfully: "Soon it won't be, our game will replace it." ”

He found that every step of his success seemed to be stepping on the shoulders of those Internet companies in his previous life, and he took the first step to take the products that the other party was proud of.

360 and multi-play were stifled, Jiucheng fell ahead of schedule, and the rising space of perfect time and space was blocked by itself, and Sohu's Sogou input method because of the existence of Youyou intelligent input, the market share was far from reaching the height of the previous life, and the operation rights of "Tianlong Babu" were also taken away by Youyou, and they are likely to fall behind from the first-line Internet companies in advance.

There is also Ctrip, they are still the giants of the OTA market, but they are no longer dominant, and they are in a delicate balance with Yoyo Vacation Network for the time being, and no one can eat anyone. Seeing the boom in the online game market, they also set up a game department, hoping to get a large amount of money from it. Of course, this is also a pit dug by Liu Yun, which made them jump without hesitation.

While the two were chatting, Le Kang, the head of the game operation department, hurried over: "Mr. Liu, have we met a competitor?"

Liu Yun raised his eyebrows, seeing that his face seemed a little grim, and asked, "To be clear, what do you mean?"

"We negotiated well with Neople in South Korea, and when it was almost time to sign the contract, a new competitor appeared. ”

Liu Yun understands that Neople is the developer of the famous game "Dungeons & Warriors" in his previous life, and this is a game he must win, which is not only profitable, but also can kill the fledgling penguin game empire

His heart moved, and he frowned slightly and asked, "Is it that penguin in the deep city?"

Le Kang showed surprise and sighed: "Mr. Liu is amazing, he can guess it." Yes, it's the penguin!"

To his surprise, the boss didn't show a hint of dissatisfaction. Today's Tencent, although it has begun to gradually become stronger and unbeatable, has a bad reputation in the industry, has been plagiarized, has never changed, and has also been criticized by many practitioners in the industry. If the time is a few years later, after the establishment of the Tencent department, everyone can only dare to be angry and dare not speak.

Liu Yun discovered that history has its own unique inertia, and even after he took the lead in acquiring Smile Gate, the R&D studio of CrossFire, Tencent still approached Neople to take over the DNF agency.

"The agency fee given by our company is 20 million yuan a year, and Tencent quoted 25 million yuan as soon as it came in. Speaking of this, Lekang's face was slightly red, and he looked a little angry: "It's not cheaper than those sticks, but also let them see jokes." Two of China's top internet companies are vying for their games. ”

Liu Yun smiled indifferently, patted Lekang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Calm down, no need to be excited." ”

Cheap sticks? Cheap is cheap. Now is really not the time to be angry, but has reached an important turning point.

Liu Yun realizes that he is witnessing and experiencing a great moment, and he seems to see the prototype of a game empire slowly taking shape, which will either fall into the hands of Yoyo or Tencent.

"The agency of the game is the one who pays the highest price, so let's have a good fight with that penguin. He smiled and said in a confident tone.

Lekang didn't understand the boss's thoughts so lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Then boss, can you reveal what the bottom line of the price is?"

Liu Yun glanced at his subordinates, stretched out a finger, and said, "100 million! If it exceeds 100 million, report to me in time." ”

Lekang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, with a look of disbelief, and said with a little difficulty: "One ...... 100 million!"

Liu Yun ignored him, but slowly walked to the window, looking at the entire city from the height of the 21st floor.

"Tencent, I have finally waited for this day, and Yoyo's product line has intersected with you. ”

He has a hunch that this kind of entanglement will continue for a long, long time, from the PC era to the mobile Internet a few years later. (https:)
