Chapter 164: Nine Cities and Miracles (2-in-1)
No one asks if you are poor in the downtown area, but you have distant relatives in the mountains!
This word, which has been handed down to this day, has its profound meaning, and to put it bluntly, once people are rich, there are more people who are worried about them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Speaking closer, when he knew Gu Heng's current family background, even people like Li Xiaomeng, who were not related to Gu Heng, wanted to encourage Wan Taoming to play the card of roommate relationship with Gu Heng, so as to get a good job before graduation.
In the distance, when the names of Hengchuang Technology and Gu Heng appeared in the newspaper, some people wanted to use this Internet company from this province as a face project, some people started to cooperate with Hengchuang Technology, and some people wanted to use Gu Heng as a propaganda object.
After the dinner that night, Gu Heng received two invitations the next day.
The first one was sent by Xiang University, and I wanted him to show up at the freshman party and talk about his road to success, so as to give a little encouragement and encouragement to the future students.
After receiving the invitation, Gu Heng did not expect.
Isn't it just a newspaper, and I deliberately asked Xiangxiao Morning News to use a certain university to deal with it vaguely, why did it become known to everyone in a blink of an eye?
Could it be that Zhu Wanru didn't abide by the agreement and sold him?
Isn't there even this basic trust between people?
Just when Gu Heng was still embarrassed by the first invitation, Josie called and conveyed another invitation.
This invitation is a call for cooperation.
One oddly named company, Ninth City, is poised to enter into a strategic partnership with Hengchuang Technology to conduct a full range of advertising campaigns for a game they recently brokered from South Korea.
The name of the game represented by Jiucheng is "Miracle MU", and when I called, I said that the advertising should be more aggressive.
How big is it?
Jiucheng did not give specific standards, but said that it was willing to bid 1 million to buy Hengchuang Technology's forum and network management software, and to focus on the promotion of "Miracle MU" for a month.
One million a month of advertising, this in the industry, is definitely a big deal, revealing a smell of wealth.
When he heard the news, Gu Heng immediately put the school's invitation behind him.
This was definitely a sudden surprise, but I didn't expect that after Shengda and Wangyi, Jiucheng actually came to the door.
Nine Cities, full name Nine Cities Computer Technology Consulting Co., Ltd.
Some people may not know much about the company Jiucheng, because in the previous life of 2016, this game giant company that could be separated from Shengda has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.
But when it comes to "Miracle MU", I believe many veteran game lovers will not be too unfamiliar.
In 2002, the domestic game market was the world of legends, and in 2003, with the leakage of the source code of legendary games, when many private servers appeared on the market, although legends were still making a lot of money, but on the whole, it was already showing a downward trend.
And in 2003, if there was a game that could compete with the legend in terms of popularity and ability to attract money, it was only "Miracle MU" by Nine Cities Agency.
Relying on this game, Nine Cities became the only company in the game industry that could compete with Shengda in 03 years.
It is also by virtue of this game that in 2003, Zu Jun, chairman of Jiucheng and only in his thirties, completed the accumulation of a net worth of 10 billion.
Haven't heard of Nine Cities, haven't heard of Miracle MU?
Well, you should have heard of the thunderous name of "World of Warcraft", right?
Unfortunately, this game is also an agent of Nine Cities!
Jiucheng relied on the rise of "Miracle MU" to complete the accumulation of capital, and then spent more than 10 million US dollars to act as an agent for "World of Warcraft", becoming another giant in the game industry after Shengda.
As for Wangyi and Tengxun, I'm sorry, their portals and buckles, the users they have are terrifying, but at the moment, when it comes to the ability to absorb money, they are far from being able to compare with Shengda, Jiucheng, these early domestic game agents.
However, if you really want to talk about the origin, Jiucheng, a company that is engaged in the Internet industry but has no experience in agency and operation of games before, will choose to win the agency of "Miracle MU", which is still stimulated by Shengda.
The popularity of the legend and its ability to make money every day have made many domestic companies set their sights on the game industry, believing that the golden age of the game industry has come and they can make a lot of money.
Nine Cities is officially one of them, and it is also the most successful one.
It's just that after Jiucheng won the agency of "Miracle MU", it was a little difficult to publicize and promote, as well as operate.
After all, not everyone has Gu Heng's prophetic period, knowing that "Miracle MU" can finally ignite the market and attract countless gold.
So, Jiucheng, which made a game for the first time, naturally thought of the love online game forum under Hengchuang Technology when talking about publicity and promotion.
Whether a game can be recognized by the market or not depends on the player's final say.
Where is the largest group of gamers?
There is only one answer: love online game forum!
As the largest online game exchange and interaction platform in China, although the iOnline Game Forum itself does not make games, its market appeal cannot be ignored, and "Miracle MU" is definitely the best choice if it wants to be promoted as quickly as possible, publicized on the iOnline Game Forum, and guided by a certain amount of public opinion by the forum.
One million bought the promotion of the online game forum for a month, and when the operation department of Jiucheng first put forward this suggestion, some senior personnel within the company were quite critical of it.
It's really this price, a bit expensive, and a little painful.
You must know that to win the agency rights of the game "Miracle MU", Jiucheng paid a lot of price, not only millions of agency fees, but also a certain percentage of profit sharing.
If a one-time dollar is spent on promotion, the company will face a lot of pressure in terms of funding, and if the publicity effect is not good, or if "Miracle MU" is not successful, the future of Nine Cities will be difficult.
In the end, it was Zu Jun who made the final decision and finalized the plan.
But anyone who does great things, courage is impossible or lacking, just like Chen Tianqiao last year, he also pressed all his worth on the legend, in exchange, it is unimaginable benefits in return.
Zu Jun, who is only in his thirties now, has no lack of courage and wants to gamble.
He knows that Hengchuang Technology has already reached a cooperation with Shengda, not long ago, the helmsman of Hengchuang also cashed out tens of millions from Shengda, if the price is too low, it may not necessarily be seen by the helmsman of Hengchuang who has just received tens of millions of dollars.
If you don't look at the consequences in your eyes, it means that "Miracle MU" cannot be launched on the market as quickly as possible.
Sometimes, time is also money.
This account, Zu Jun's calculation is clear, and after some measurement, he made a decision.
It's just that what he never expected was that when Gu Heng heard the name "Miracle MU", his whole eye had already fallen in.
In fact, this year, he thought about going to South Korea to talk about the agency of "Miracle MU", and planned to win the agency of this game before Nine Cities.
In the end, the reason for giving up was limited by the lack of its own capital.
Neither the funds nor the experience and self-confidence to run a game well.
Therefore, Gu Heng had to temporarily give up this very gluttonous cake and work on his own game trading platform in a down-to-earth manner.
But he never thought that he had no intention of giving up the agency of "Miracle MU", which took a week, and Jiucheng actually came to the door with this game to seek cooperation.
One million wins a month's all-round promotion!
Josie was quite satisfied with the increase made by Jiucheng, and the advice given to Gu Heng was that he could take this order.
As for Shengda's side, just inform you in advance, and think that with Shengda's current size, you won't worry that a company that suddenly appears can shake Shengda's leading position in the industry.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if Shengda has some small words, you can completely ignore it.
As the vice president of the company, Josie's first consideration is naturally the maximization of the interests of Hengchuang Technology itself, not the situation on the side of Shengda.
It's just that Josie's proposal this time was decisively rejected by Gu Heng.
βWhy?β
When she received Gu Heng's reply, Josie was a little incomprehensible, the opportunity to make money was in front of her, why should she refuse?
And another factor that made Josie have this question was because this was the first time so far that Gu Heng had said no to her proposal.
This strong woman who doesn't want to admit defeat wants to hear Gu Heng's high opinions.
"I don't want a penny, I can even promote the game for free for Nine Cities, and if necessary, I can also reverse some of the funds, because I want to start a deeper cooperation with Nine Cities. β
When Gu Heng arrived at the company, he looked at the cold and arrogant woman in front of him who was refreshing and capable, and slowly said his plan.
Gu Heng does not have an intuitive concept of how big the profit of "Miracle MU" is, the only thing that is certain is that this is another game in China that has accumulated countless money after Shengda's "Legend".
One million is a lot, but Gu Heng's current net worth, this number is really not particularly able to impress him.
The reason why he deliberately went to the company to discuss with Josie in the first place was because he wanted more.
"Miracle MU" is such a delicious cake, it can't be swallowed by Jiucheng alone, it's good that I didn't see it, but now that I see it, I naturally have to pounce on it and take a bite.
Josie, who was wearing casual trousers and a white shirt, sat opposite Gu Heng, her slender figure curved was more eye-catching, and the calm and thoughtful expression on her face added a bit of different charm to her.
Since being hospitalized in the last car accident, Gu Heng found that Josie had really changed.
It was probably the younger brother who was implicated by blood appeared in her life, and he was a person who needed to be taken care of, so that she unconsciously took off a lot of defenses and began to care for her as an older sister.
And after slowly adapting to this sudden change of identity, the coldness on her body weakened a lot, and she gradually began to transform into a normal woman.
These changes are reflected in the work, the most intuitive point is that even in the face of Gu Heng's boss, Josie is no longer arrogant and arrogant.
She frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "You want the game Miracle MU?"
βBingoοΌβ
Gu Heng snapped his fingers, with a slight undisguised smug smile on his face, and added: "But it's not all right, it is estimated that it is unlikely to take the game agency from Jiucheng, but you can participate in it and operate it together." β
Such a God-given opportunity, I'm really sorry for myself if I don't make good use of it.
Admittedly, Jiucheng may not necessarily agree, but if you don't even give it a try, how do you know it won't work?
Besides, he didn't want to take over all the agency rights of "Miracle MU" from Jiucheng, even if Jiucheng was willing to change hands, Gu Heng didn't dare to take over this pot easily.
Being able to develop a game doesn't mean that you can run a good game, and with the current team under him, it is really difficult to run a game from scratch alone.
His purpose is just to take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie, even if he only gets one or two tiers of profit sharing in the end, it is worth much, much more than a million.
Josie looked sideways at Gu Heng, not knowing where his confidence came from, and asked, "You like to watch the game "Miracle MU"?"
Gu Heng gently turned the signature pen on the desk, and said with a faint smile: "Everything has to be tried, whether it can recover the cost for the time being, the most important point is that I have deeper considerations."
As you know, with such a unique resource as the Love Online Game Forum, it is only a matter of time before I get involved in the game industry, and the R&D side of things is easy to solve, but there is still a lack of a team that knows how to operate games.
Therefore, if I can reach a cooperation with Jiucheng this time, I plan to send some employees to Jiucheng for internships, one is to supervise the accounting, and the other is to learn how to run a game independently. β
These words are seven points true and three points false!
The fake part is that he attaches great importance to the game "Miracle MU", knowing that under the operation of Nine Cities, it can not only recover costs, but also make a lot of money, which is a good business.
But he couldn't have said these words directly.
"Then why don't you work with Shengda?"
Josie's lips moved slightly, with this doubt, but she didn't ask.
This is one of her changes, in the past, as long as it is a matter of work, but if there is something she doesn't understand, she will break the sand pot and ask to the end, feeling that only by knowing it is convenient for her to make the most accurate judgment.
Now, however, she thinks about it a little before deciding whether to ask or not.
The final conclusion was: no!
She understood that Gu Heng should have a deeper intention in doing this, maybe she didn't want to be tied too tightly with Shengda, maybe she was worried that Shengda might not necessarily agree.
Hengchuang Technology sits on the love online game forum, the largest game forum in China, as long as people in the industry can guess, Hengchuang into the game industry is a matter of time.
For Shengda, even if it has a lot of involvement with Hengchuang now, it will be a little guarded.
Only Hengchuang, who loves the online game forum, will be a good partner of Shengda, and if it is based on the forum, plus the game industry, it is very likely to become a competitor.
These deeper things, since Gu Heng didn't point them out, she felt that she didn't have to get to the bottom of it, she just knew it in her heart.
Gu Heng saw that Josie wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't intend to expose more, and said, "Josie, you will send an invitation letter to Jiucheng in my name later, which roughly means that Hengchuang Technology wants to cooperate with Jiucheng at a deeper level, if the other party is interested, you can come over for an in-depth conversation, as for how to grasp this scale, I don't need to say more, right?"
"Understood!"
Josie nodded, full of confidence.
For her, if it involves some very professional issues, there is really no need for Gu Heng to say more, just need to convey a general meaning, if she does not have this level, she will not be hired by many listed companies with an annual salary of one million.
Just like the last trip to Shanghai, Gu Heng basically didn't make much preparation for the negotiation with Shengda, and in the whole process, it was Josie who relied on his grasp of the scale to let Gu Heng only sell two layers of shares and cash out 36 million funds.
Similarly, this time when Jiucheng was invited to come over to negotiate, even if Gu Heng had made it clear that he wanted to promote this cooperation, Josie still had to put it up.
After all, the awesomeness of Nine Cities still has to wait until after the game "Miracle MU".
As for the moment, the volume of Jiucheng, if you really want to look at the evaluation of the outside world, it is even inferior to Hengchuang Technology. In addition, it is the other party who first applies for cooperation, and the bottom line is revealed in advance, which is not conducive to the subsequent negotiations.
Josie nodded: "Well, I will investigate and sort out the relevant information of Jiucheng in advance, and send it to you later!"
With such a general who has gone through many big scenes and has excellent personal ability, he can indeed save Gu Heng a lot of trouble.
Looking at her calm and calm appearance, Gu Heng was more confident about deducting a certain profit share of "Miracle MU" from Jiucheng's mouth.
