Although Xiao Ma has always been confident and optimistic, even so, he still firmly believes that Tencent has no way to recover in the game market.

From the first day of League of Legends' launch in North America, he immediately realized that he had no chance of catching up, at least in the area of online games, for the foreseeable future.

Even if NetEase gives "Fantasy Journey to the West" to itself, there is still no possibility of catching up with Youyou.

In particular, the launch of Liu Yun's first-hand game competition made Yoyo a benchmark company in the industry.

Of course, this hand is also squeezing the living space of other game companies.

Since the launch of the game competition, Yoyo's games have been like a gravitational whirlpool, constantly drawing players around.

Under the trade-off, Yoyo's advantages in this market are becoming more and more obvious.

In the past, they made huge profits from game revenue, but now they make the rules of the game with profits.

The future seems to be clear, the strong will always be strong, and the weak will be eliminated.

"I believe that Mr. Liu is not that kind of person. Liu Qidong also smiled indifferently, saying nonsense that he might not even believe in himself.

He is not a rookie who has just entered the workplace, and he can't hear the voice of Brother Xiaoma.

What I care about the most is Jingdong, and the veteran little brother Ma is making waves at this point, wanting Liu Qidong to be wary of Liu Yun.

What's more, if one day Youyou is weak and Tencent becomes strong, will your situation be safe?

"I have always been the final decision-maker of JD.com, which Mr. Liu also promised me at the beginning. He added.

When Brother Xiao Ma heard it, he sneered and said, "Does Mr. Liu think this guy's promise can be trusted?"

He was convinced that the other party was insincere.

Liu Qidong frowned slightly and said, "I can trust both Mr. Liu and Mr. Ma. Of course, in the end, it depends on JD.com's own strength. ”

There are two meanings to this statement: 1. If Liu Yun can't believe it, how can you Ma Huateng believe it? 2. Whether you can trust it or not, it is your own strength that ultimately plays a decisive role.

Brother Xiao Ma is also a smart person, he smiled and said: "That's right, it's better to ask for others than for yourself, and we Tencent are also like this." “

"But Mr. Ma, I can guarantee one thing. Liu Qidong felt that it was time to give some benefits, "If JD.com wants to continue to raise funds in the future, it will give priority to Tencent until your shares are equal to Youyou." ”

Today, Yoyo owns 15% of JD.com, while Tencent has 10%.

The cunning Brother Dong played a balance between the two giant companies, and Brother Pony smiled with satisfaction when he heard this reply.

As long as he raises enough funds, his voice in Jingdong will be on the same level as Youyou, and he will no longer have to be inferior. His purpose has been achieved.

Liu Qidong felt that it was time to continue to reveal a little information, so he said: "Mr. Ma, in fact, many venture capital institutions have recently come to ask us about JD.com's continued financing. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Ma suddenly asked with interest, "This is a good thing, it shows that those venture capital companies are optimistic about the prospects of JD.com, and it also proves that our investment vision was correct at the beginning." ”

Liu Qidong straightened out his collar and continued: "I estimate that the money invested by you and Youyou will be burned out in the first half of next year. At that time, Tencent can cooperate with other investment companies to organize a second round of financing. ”

Brother Xiao Ma smiled and understood the voice of the other party's words.

This round of financing is an opportunity for me to catch up with the proportion of equity in Yoyo's hands.

In the first round of financing, although Yoyo's equity proportion was ahead of Tencent, there were no regulations, and he must be found or not found in the second round, and the initiative is still in the hands of Liu Qidong.

"I'm in Yanjing, and I can reveal a message to Mr. Ma. Liu Qidong continued after a little muttering, "The live broadcast right of the World Cup has always been a tempting big cake, this time you directly crossed CCTV and won the online video copyright of the World Cup, which is equivalent to cutting meat on them, do you think CCTV will be satisfied?"

……

In late October, League of Legends officially opened its open beta.

Except for a far-sighted boss like Brother Xiaoma, most Internet companies don't take this matter too seriously.

In their opinion, this is just a competitive battle online game launched by Yoyo, and no one expected that it would open the road to hegemony for more than ten years.

League of Legends Open Beta was nowhere near as popular as World of Warcraft Open Beta, but its popularity has been on the rise since day one.

This new game mode has fascinated countless players.

Within a month, its online presence was soaring, surpassing the most popular online games of the moment.

Yoyo struck while the iron was hot, and only a month after the game was launched, it announced the formation of the "League of Legends" tournament in China, and even said that it would organize a major tournament in Asia and even the world with Riot in the next year.

Brother Xiao Ma guessed Liu Yun's next step, and even guessed his next few steps, but he was helpless.

Not to mention that the penguins have also tried to organize some game competitions, but it seems that things are not going well.

And Liu Qidong, who is far away in Yanjing, can't help but admire Ma Huateng, but he also has the feeling of being born Yu and He Shengliang.

In the office building, Liu Yun looked at Lin Shiya, who was full of interest in front of her, but categorically rejected one of her proposals.

"Manager Lin, I can't agree to this plan, I've disappointed you. He put down the document in his hand and said indifferently.

First "Crossfire" and then "World of Warcraft", these two game competitions have set off unprecedented discussion in the industry because of the success of Yoyo.

Many gamers are sure of one thing: the era of online gaming revolution has arrived.

Not only gamers, but also countless major international companies have realized the huge appeal of these game competitions, just like sports competitions, and they are waving cheques and lining up to negotiate sponsorship with Yoyo.

League of Legends, in particular, has recently launched a game that has made many studios aware of the huge business opportunities it contains, and the prize money here may exceed that of all previous game competitions.

After Yoyo announced the formation of a game competition, they all planned to create game teams.

All the game events under Yoyo are organized by Lin Shiya.

The so-called building near the water gets the first month, and she germinated the idea of letting Yoyo also form a game team.

This is a great opportunity to create publicity for the company. After Lin Shiya made up her mind, she proposed the idea to her boss.

"We can't be referees and athletes at the same time. Liu Yun cleared his throat and continued, "So I can't agree to this plan. ”

"It's a championship team, and the heat and benefits it can bring are huge. Lin Shiya tried to explain something, "We can set up a studio and have a third-party company control it. ”

"No, I can't. Liu Yun still decisively vetoed, "In this way, it will go against our original intention, and if it is exposed by the news, the impact on Yoyo will be very negative." Fair play is a point that we must insist on. ”

Without the point of fair play, no event can be big and strong, and he knows that.

"There is anything else that can be discussed, and I don't agree with that, even though I know that the stakes are huge. ”

"Okay, just do what the boss wants. Lin Shiya nodded silently. Many times, she feels that this boss's character has a stubborn side, and it is difficult to change her mind about what she believes.

"Manager Lin. Liu Yun was silent for a moment and said, "The major game events, we have already organized them one after another. But we also have to pay attention to the rewards, and it is not possible for every game competition to be popular and last. For example, I think that the competition mode of "World of Warcraft" is enough to run once, after all, this is not our own game. ”
