Chapter 464 - Game IM (First Update)
The next day, Ma returned to Shenzhen with excitement and eagerness to serve as president of Tencent Games.
"Oh my God, Tencent has established a game division!!"
The news spread and caused a sensation on the Chinese Internet.
Previously, because Flamingo was Li Zetian's industry, Tencent has not entered the game market, and Shanda, Nine Cities, NetEase, and Giant Network have not paid much attention to Tencent. But now, they have to pay attention to Tencent, and they are the enemy.
Tencent is doing better in China than in Europe and the United States. There are many social software for European and American netizens, such as AOL ICQ, Microsoft MSN, etc., and the competition is fierce. In addition, foreign mail is still mainstream, and Americans prefer to text and make calls directly, so the demand for instant messaging (IM) software is not as strong as that of Chinese. It is not difficult to understand why there was no company like Tencent outside of China in the previous life.
At this time, Tencent QQ has almost formed a monopoly in China, with nearly 100 million registered Chinese users. Although there are many duplicate registered accounts, it is enough to prove that there are many Tencent QQ users. With a little guidance, these users can be turned into game users, which is why other game makers are afraid.
Shanda Group, China's largest local gaming company, will face tremendous pressure.
Mr. Chen received a call from Mr. Son, and the two had a conversation for more than half an hour about Tencent's involvement in China's game industry.
Son said in a heavy tone: "As soon as Tencent comes, the Chinese game market will become more complicated. The Shanda Group has to face the double encirclement and suppression of the Flamingo Company and the Tencent Company! The terrible thing is that Tencent has a huge number of users, which is extremely unfavorable to the Shanda Group!"
Chen Tianqiao frowned and said: "Yes, Mr. Sun, Tencent relies on a huge number of users and has a great advantage. Unless we defeat Tencent QQ, we can't completely defeat Tencent ......"
When Son Masayoshi heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, Tencent QQ is not so easy to defeat, Tencent QQ has built a very strong social relationship chain in China and even the world, and it is difficult to break this relationship chain.
Son asked casually: "Mr. Chen, if you want you to say, how can you defeat Tencent?"
Chen Tianqiao's brows furrowed even deeper, and he thought, if Lao Tzu knew how to defeat Tencent, would he still be worried?
After all, the person on the other side of the phone is a gold owner, and he can't be offended.
Chen Tianqiao analyzed it and said: "I think Shanda Group can actually develop instant messaging software. Our Legends is very popular and has a huge number of players, so we can develop a game IM specifically for player communication...... In real life, people have to communicate and communicate with all kinds of people every day, which is even more obvious in online games, and the need for interactivity is the strongest!!"
The more Chen Tianqiao spoke, the more excited he became, as he thought, since Tencent can convert QQ users into game users, then Shanda Group can also convert game users into IM (instant messaging) users.
Game IM???
When Son Masayoshi heard this, his eyes lit up, ouch, yes, this idea!
In fact, Mr. Son has always been very fond of Tencent's position in the Chinese market...... With so many users, Tencent can almost dominate the Chinese Internet, and no matter what software it develops, it has a huge user flow to support it.
At this time, Chen Tianqiao's excitement couldn't stop at all, and his thoughts were like springs, and he continued: "Online games build a virtual small society, and all the behaviors of players in the game are naturally inseparable from communication and exchange. When players encounter problems in the game, act together with guild groups in the game, and need to engage in virtual economic behaviors such as business transactions, they must use the network communication system. Throughout the history of the development of online games, there are no more than two forms of communication between players - inside online games, instant communication through public chat channels, guild-specific channels, private chat windows between players, paper transmission, etc., while outside online games, communication is carried out through IM tools of instant messaging. ”
When he said this, Chen Tianqiao paused, and then continued with a cold and murderous aura: "In the past, players used the IM tool qq, but from now on, all gamers of Shanda Group will no longer use Tencent qq, but Shanda IM. We should replace it!!"
Son Zhengyi was also ignored by Chen Tianqiao, and nodded again and again and said: "Well, this idea is good, you can try it, if it succeeds, this will undoubtedly be a major turning point for Shanda Group, opening a new chapter of corporate brilliance!!"
At the moment, Son and Chen Tianqiao were very excited to talk about the development of IM software.
Chen Tianqiao also gave Shanda Group a simple and straightforward name for the IM software to be developed - Shanda IM.
After ending the call, Chen Tianqiao was full of ambition and ready to do a big job. He immediately instructed the secretary to notify the company's senior management to come to the conference room for a meeting, and then announced the Shanda IM development plan at the meeting, and told everyone that the Shanda IM plan had received the full support of SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son.
When everyone heard this, their blood boiled.
"It's not that we want to go head-to-head with Tencent, it's really Tencent forcing us!"
"If Tencent is honest in making your instant messaging software, the well water will not interfere with the river water, and everyone will be safe, but they will force us! Do you think our Shanda Group is easy to provoke?"
"Oh, by the way, what's the name of the person in charge of Tencent Games?
"Yes, I heard that I seem to be only thirty-three years old, and I was an unknown junior before, and I worked in Tencent for four or five years. This person is inconspicuous, but as soon as he took office, he was extremely arrogant, and even threatened to lead Tencent to defeat Shanda Group!"
"Defeat Shanda, hmph, I really don't know where he got the courage?"
"Huh!"
……
Ma Huateng didn't know that in the eyes of the people of the Shanda Group, he was just an ignorant and arrogant clown. But he must succeed in order to become the president of Tencent China!
At this moment, Ma Huateng is working hard to develop Tencent Games.
On the one hand, Tencent has set up its own game development team to independently develop game software and build the "Tencent Games" platform. Tencent, on the other hand, represents games from other game manufacturers.
As it stands, it takes a while to develop its own R&D, so representing other companies' games is the first step in Tencent's rapid rise.
