Chapter 342: World of Warcraft Agency
Every successful person likes to leave a lot of brilliance and brilliance to himself, often those idealists are more memorable, in fact, they are doing things, how can there be so many ideas to speak of, the only thing they care about is to do the things in front of them, the things in front of them are not done well, what else can be done. Zhou Shi opened it like this, he didn't care about many things, he didn't have a lot of hope at the beginning of the friend network, when he was going to go public to cash out, or sell to others, but he didn't expect that after finding the right person, doing the right thing at the right time, such a huge change would happen.
Gong Yu joined Time and became the first CEO of Time Video, responsible for the preparation of the website. Technology or something, there has been no shortage of time, there are too many talents left in the time laboratory, and the legendary company laboratory in China can be compared with him. Not necessarily, Yanjing's Baidu has also accumulated a lot of geniuses. However, the attraction of time is that you can communicate with time labs abroad, that is, there are many more opportunities to go abroad. Zhou Shi plans to expand Time Lab to the whole world, such as Tel Aviv in Israel, London in the United Kingdom, and Berlin in Germany, and he is preparing to set up a laboratory. It's just that it's difficult to choose the person in charge, in terms of technology, Zhou Jingren has the advantage, and in terms of management ability, Pichai has the advantage. What's more, Pichai is also responsible for most of the affairs of Time America. Zhou Shi and Lei Jun are also difficult to deal with, it is really troublesome to use high-level talents, but fortunately, they are all happy troubles.
On this day, Yao Xiaoguan suddenly found Zhou Shi, accompanied by Liu Zhijian, who was in charge of operation and management of the game company.
"Mr. Zhou, our negotiations with Warcraft are in trouble!" Liu Zhijian
"What's the trouble?" Zhou Shi didn't react for a while.
"Didn't you say that the contract of Nine Cities is about to expire, and our number of games is small, and we want to represent World of Warcraft? We won Warcraft and Interstellar last year, and operated on our game platform, which was originally very promising, but NetEase and Penguin intervened one after another, raising the price, and we felt that it was not appropriate. Yao Xiaoguan
"Oh, what price did they offer?" Zhou Shi
"For example, NetEase is willing to set up a joint venture, and in addition to the agency fee of more than 200 million US dollars, Blizzard's share ratio may exceed 55%. "Liu Zhijian
"Are they so mad?" Zhou Shi
"The penguins are even more frustrated! The profits they have retained in their negotiations with Blizzard may be less than 40 percent, close to 30 percent. "Liu Zhijian
"Damn! This group of garbage, is it necessary to compete like this? How useful is it to earn popularity?" Zhou Shi really didn't understand the motives of these people, and he spent a lot of energy to represent a game, and he had to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, and some things were difficult to show with profits. Penguin only makes 40% of the profit on the surface, but not all games make money, and it is difficult to calculate the loss of delaying the normal development of the enterprise.
"Shall we continue?" said Liu Zhijian
"Forget it, forget it, we don't have to fall to that point. "Zhou Shi
"But our market share in the game market is only about 10 percent, don't we want to find a way to develop?" Yao Xiaoguan
"Damn, you don't know how to develop games, do you need to find me?" Zhou Shi
"You gave up our web game department to Friends.com, and now you're talking about it. Yao Xiaoguan obviously has a grudge against Zhou Shi.
"Have you seen the income of Plants vs. Zombies and Angry Birds?"
"No!" Yao Xiaoguan
"If you don't have it, I'll take a look, and I'll let you transform and develop more mobile games" Zhou Shi
"Damn, what you said is good, I don't know that the development of games requires talents, and now there are three mobile phone systems on the market, all of which are very troublesome to develop, and Android is simpler. But don't you TM give priority to Android, or else there would be such trouble!" Yao Xiaoguan
"How can you make money without trouble!" Zhou Shi threw a word and suppressed the other party
"Mr. Zhou, after the CF spring game, the popularity of our game continues to soar, and it is currently ......" Liu Zhijian ignored the bickering between the two, and directly got down to business, a series of data came out of his mouth, and he seemed to be familiar with these things.
"Well, pay attention to the balance between the user experience and the game, and actively cooperate to develop a CF version suitable for the European and American markets. In addition, the CF Autumn League will also be held, try a few more times to calculate the most suitable time for the game, and such a big tournament will only be held once a year in the future. "Zhou Shi
"Do we want to participate in the CG competition?" Liu Zhijian
"You decide for yourselves, it's not a big deal for us. "Zhou Shi has witnessed the decline of CG, so naturally he will not be very yearning for this event, although this competition activity can promote the development of the game to a certain extent, but the effect is limited. Their own competitions can also be a perfect substitute. The main purpose is to form an industrial chain, so that professional players and game teams have the opportunity to make profits and living space, that is, Time Games builds an ecosystem in a profitable way, so that the game can survive for a longer time.
"There is also a company called YY Voice that wants to cooperate with us. "Liu Zhijian
"It's good that you decide for yourself!" Zhou Shi
"It can be that there is still a time MM, will we do this?" Liu Zhijian
"It's okay, since they didn't think of it, or they can't do voice communication well, let someone else do it. Zhou Shi didn't think it was anything important.
"Hey, what game will we develop next, what do you think?" Yao Xiaoguan
"Idea, you guys develop a game with the background of oriental Xianxia culture" Zhou Shi
"Xianxia?" Yao Xiaoguan was a little embarrassed, "We don't seem to have talents who are good at this. "There are a lot of Xianxia games in China, such as the perfect Zhuxian, the swordsman of Xishanju, etc
"No one is going to dig it, and it's just to cultivate it yourself, so that people who are interested in this area can take the initiative to stand up, and we will be professional in making games, and there are no shortcomings in Energium. In addition, a general game engine can be developed, and it is more convenient to adapt to several other mobile phone operating systems at that time. "Zhou Shi
"It's too difficult for you!" Yao Xiaoguan
"I'm going to be difficult first and then easy, others are easy and then difficult, and if you spend more time now, it's easy to take the lead in the future. "Zhou Shi has great hopes for their two main games now, and it is really rare for a game to be popular for ten years. They have a lot of money to splurge. The development of Penguin is also more with the help of these two games, and then League of Legends, which can basically ensure the development of a huge strategic system of time.
"I'll give it a try, hey, I'm going to stay up late again," Yao Xiaoguan said and left.
"Mr. Zhou, Boss Yao is like this, I complained before that there is no challenge now, I can only come to you......" Liu Zhijian said carefully
"It's okay, you go get busy!" Zhou Shi didn't care about these vains.
