Chapter 502 - Register a Few Names First (Two More Requests for Subscription)
Not long ago, Liu Yun and Tencent's Xiaoma reached a user sharing agreement in private: YOYO voice and QQ shared users.
He couldn't guess Brother Pony's thoughts, and Brother Pony couldn't guess his own thoughts.
But the two continued to maintain a friendly atmosphere on the surface.
However, the data involved in this agreement is relatively large, and the work of user exchange has been in progress and has not yet ended.
Liu Yun stroked on a blank piece of paper, QQ, Weibo, Tieba, and the > he imagined in the future are all social software that is or will be popular in the future.
Not long ago, Baidu's Mr. Li called again and asked Liu Yun if he had considered the swap agreement.
At the time, he replied only briefly with a few words: the stakes are high, and the matter is still under consideration.
Lao Li complained a few words with a little dissatisfaction: "Mr. Liu, this mother-in-law, her indecisive personality is not like you." β
Liu Yun finally came back: "This matter is very important, I will reply to you when I figure it out." He hung up.
He vaguely remembered the 360 in his previous life, and the market value of the NASDAQ in the United States once exceeded 10 billion US dollars. As for its return to A-shares, its market value once exceeded 300 billion yuan, which was not taken into account by Liu Yun.
A-shares, everyone understands.
Today's Yoyo Technology has much more potential than the 360 in the previous life, which is undoubtedly a fact.
Anti-virus software,They have integrated Kingsoft Antivirus;The browser is bundled with hao123 navigation page,With Baidu's drainage,And let Tencent give up the idea of developing a browser,The market share will only be further increased;The market share of the input method is also higher than that of Sogou in the previous life;And the money-sucking weapon,Security guard has also become a monopoly computer housekeeperγ
With today's trend, the possibility of Yoyo Technology's market value reaching $15 billion is extremely high.
If Robin Li's request is made, a 15% share of Yoyo Technology will be worth more than $2.2 billion in the future.
As for the value of the sticker, there is no precise figure. After all, it belongs to Baidu and has not been split separately.
Is it worth taking these shares to replace half of the ownership of Baidu Tieba?
Liu Yun had no answer in his heart.
In his thinking, the post bar is destined to decline, especially after the advent of the mobile Internet era, and the exposure of false medical information, which will greatly reduce the value of the post bar.
But from another point of view, starting from 2007, the popularity and commercial value of Tieba will continue to soar at a rocket-like speed, but today's Lao Li has not yet realized this value.
To put it simply, next year Robin Li may regret today's swap agreement, and in five years, the person who regrets it may become Liu Yun, and Lao Li will become happy.
As a person who has come over, Liu Yun will treat this swap agreement with a complex and contradictory idea, which is unknown to outsiders.
Even as a time-traveler, he must face a choice that many people will encounter: he can't have it both ways.
Tencent's, Baidu's,
This is a lot of things, Liu Yun rubbed his brows a little helplessly, and put them aside for the time being.
After leaving his office, he went straight to the games department.
The game company is the only wholly-owned subsidiary of Yoyo Group.
According to Liu Yun's selfish character, he has no idea of financing such a profiteering subsidiary, and all the money earned is owned by Youyou.
Yoyo's finale in 2007, the hot atmosphere after the open beta of "Dungeons and Warriors", made Liu Yun's originally nervous mood disappear.
He knew that the game would continue to generate a significant amount of money for Yoyo for years to come.
At least in the next few years, it is unlikely that a few companies in the Chinese Internet will pose a threat to Yoyo's gaming empire.
Liu Yun used the prophetic information that he could use in his brain to seize all the fires in his memory, and he could make money.
Is it greedy? He thought it was a little.
After making so much money from the game, Liu Yun was able to have enough cash to expand his layout, rather than blindly financing.
What makes him feel gratified is that Yoyo has shown strong strength in the operation of DNF.
This means that the excellent channel marketing ability of online games is not unique to that penguin, and Yoyo can also do it.
For example, the semi-finished online game "Miracle World", which was just taken over from Ctrip not long ago, also relied on Yoyo's excellent operation to break even.
Although Yoyo didn't make a penny from this game, it must be understood that under Ctrip's poor operation, the reputation of "Miracle World", which was already of average quality, has exploded among players. It is commendable that Yoyo can do this.
Not long ago, Liu Yun also joked with a smile: "Mr. Ma, the plate of "Miracle World", do you dare to accept it if you Tencent change it?"
Brother Xiao Ma gently touched the frame of the glasses, and smiled: "Mr. Liu, it's funny." You are rich and willful, and we Tencent can't afford to play it. β
At that time, Liu Yun pursed his lips disdainfully, and said secretly: Money, you penguins will not be lacking, otherwise you would not have bid with Youyou at the beginning, and the agency fee of DNF soared to 60 million yuan. It's just that this penguin, who has always been mercenary, thinks that there is not much opportunity to make money, so he will not intervene.
So at that time, Brother Xiao Ma said meaningfully: "Mr. Liu, Yoyo's game operation ability is very strong, and he is about to surpass us." β
Liu Yun replied indifferently: "Mr. Ma is modest, we are not as good as Tencent." β
......
Zhao Xudong saw the boss coming over and understood his intentions.
When the boss won the agency of "Dungeons & Warriors" at such a large price, he was puzzled.
But out of trust in his boss, he suppressed the doubts in his heart.
After Liu Yun saw Zhao Xudong, he asked straight to the point: "Manager Zhao, after a week of public beta, how is the revenue of this game?" β
Zhao Xudong's tone still had a look of disbelief, and said: "Mr. Liu, it has almost reached 8 million yuan. This kind of income is already very close to the Warcraft at that time. β
Liu Yun nodded slightly and replied, "Normal." β
Normal?
Zhao Xudong couldn't help but swallow his saliva quietly, and said secretly: Did Mr. Liu expect today's hot response from the beginning, no wonder he spared no expense to introduce it from the beginning.
"Mr. Liu, I have to say something that even I can't believe. β
"What?"
Zhao Xudong was silent for a few seconds and said: "The revenue brought by DNF may be close to Warcraft, and the profits created may even exceed Warcraft. β
Liu Yun smiled calmly and replied, "I have also taken this into account. Agency fees and profit sharing, Warcraft is not low, and servers are more expensive. So it's not surprising that DNF's profits outpaced Warcraft's. β
After a slight pause, he continued: "But even so, I hope to be able to renew my contract with Blizzard. In the Huaxia Continent, apart from us Youyou, they can't have other collaborators, understand?"
Zhao Xudong nodded and replied, "Understood." β
Liu Yun suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "How is Jinshan over there, how is the project of "Sword Network 3" going?"
"Mr. Liu, everything is going well. After Yoyo brought capital into the group, the project team of "Sword Network 3" was re-established, and the salary of the other party's technical staff was also adjusted to the same level as Yoyo's game developer. β
"Does NetEase continue to poach people?"
"No, they seem to have gotten the news of Yoyo's capital injection, and they retreated. β
Liu Yun thought for a while and said, "The poaching has stopped for the time being, hasn't Ding Sanshi always wanted to see me, you go and arrange a time." By the way, I'll let you do something. β
He whispered an order in Zhao Xudong's ear, which was an idea that suddenly came to his mind.
Zhao Xudong's face became a little strange, and he asked, "Mr. Liu, is this feasible?"
Liu Yun smiled and said, "Okay, just try it and you'll know, there's no loss anyway." β
Zhao Xudong had no choice but to nod, sighing in his heart that this idea was really amazing, and the boss was able to come up with it. This should be a bargaining chip for him to negotiate with Ding Sanshi.
It turned out that Liu Yun asked Zhao Xudong to go to the Ministry of Culture to register several game names, which were called: Fantasy Westward Journey Mobile Game Version, Dahua Westward Journey Mobile Game Version, and then he made up two more names himself, Dream Back to the West, and Dream Back to the Westward Journey Mobile Game Version.
In the first two, Liu Yun didn't have much bottom in his heart, worried about whether NetEase would be the first to register these names.
But on second thought, this seems unlikely.
Nowadays, the mobile Internet is still a shadowless thing, unless that Ding Sanshi is a traverser, otherwise who would have thought that large-scale online games based on the PC side can also be realized on mobile phones.
This concept is too advanced to be done even by Mr. Jobs, who launched the epoch-making iPhone 4.
At that time, he will take these registered game names to meet with Ding Sanshi, using both soft and hard, coercion and temptation, forcing the other party to give up his coveting of Warcraft.
Will it succeed? Liu Yun didn't know the bottom of his heart, but he really wanted to give it a try.
After work, Liu Yun drove back to his home, in a community called the CΓ΄te d'Azur.
This is a relatively high-end community in Ningjiang, which is dominated by villas and large apartments.
Liu Yun felt that the villa was empty, so he bought a small duplex building of more than 200 square meters.
It was a very hot day in August, so he took a shower when he got home, and when he returned to the living room, he found a missed call on his phone, but the area of the call was unknown.
Liu Yun thought it should be a call similar to a lottery or pyramid scheme, but he didn't care about it, and he didn't call back.
But after a while, the mobile phone rang abruptly again. Liu Yun looked down, and the incoming call still showed an unknown area.
He hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone.
