Chapter 556: Finding the Cash Cow
Everyone else went out, and only Bian Xuedao and Wang Yinan were left in the conference room.
Wang Yinan walked over and closed the door, walked back and looked at Bian Xuedao and said, "Take 500 million for traffic, isn't this a bit big?"
Bian Xuedao said: "It's a bit presumptuous to look at it alone, but Weibo is actually a chess piece. β
"Chess pieces?"
Bian Xuedao nodded.
"Compared with the three major portals, compared with Baidu Taobao, Zhiwei lacks a page platform, security guard and input method, which is not suitable for web page entrance, but Weibo can. β
Bian Xuedao continued: "As long as the operation is good, in a few years, Zhiwei Weibo will be a huge social platform and vanity fair, when the time comes, not only celebrities and grassroots will open Weibo, scholars and officials will also open Weibo, not only public welfare organizations will open Weibo, local governments and functional departments will also open Weibo, do you know why?"
Wang Yinan thought about it and shook his head.
Bian Xuedao said: "Weibo, which has developed to a certain extent, is a magnifying glass, a catalyst, and a scandal fermenter. By the way, I even have a good idea of the Weibo promotion word......"
"When you have more than 100 followers, you are an internal magazine, when you have more than 1,000 fans, you are a bulletin board, when you have more than 10,000 fans, you are a magazine, when you have more than 100,000 fans, you are a metropolitan newspaper, when you have more than 100 million fans, you are CCTV. β
Bian Xuedao took a sip of water, and then said: "100 million fans is a bit nonsense, but 100,000 fans is not out of reach. At that time, if the entire Weibo platform has 100 well-known users with 100,000 followers, it is equivalent to 100 metropolitan newspapers. In the event of a social hot event, as long as one-third of the well-known users forward it, theoretically it is equivalent to more than 3 million people getting a certain message or seeing a certain point of view in a very short period of time.
Wang Yinan said: "This is not a media?"
Bian Xuedao said: "No, we must grasp it well, what we do is a social platform, and media is an additional attribute." β
Wang Yinan asked: "Do you want to take a look at the progress of the game project?"
In an instant, Bian Xuedao suddenly caught something in his mind.
Wang Yinan asked him just now if Weibo's steps were a bit big.
Bian Xuedao thinks that Weibo's steps are okay, and the real big step is the game project department.
Browser games will indeed be popular in the next few years, and the R&D team does need to hone and accumulate, but it is only the end of 2006, and client games such as World of Warcraft and Fantasy Journey to the West are still in the hot stage, and the spring of browser games will still come for several years.
In other words, it is not impossible to expect web games to make money, but terminal games have not declined, and the competition is cruel.
game, Bian Xuedao defines it as a cash cow of wisdom for technology.
Security guards are free forever,Input method is free forever,Weibo is a money-eating goods for a few years,Browsers and navigation pages can make money,But relative to the appetite of Zhiwei technology,It's not enough to supportγ Not to mention the idea of learning the Tao by Bian, but also to make a video website, if the video website wants to become top-notch, it must be operated at a high cost.
If the game can't make money for a long time, it all depends on daring to transfuse, the pressure is too great, and it is not appropriate.
In that way, not only those who dare to do have ideas, but also those who are wise are easy to slack off and mess around.
So, now it's time to find a game, get the agency, and let it generate cash first.
In China, although the game market is very vast, relying on games to feed countless companies and studios, large and small, and feed many people, but there are not many games that really make a lot of money, and if you count the huge base, there are very few successful games.
For others, it is difficult to bet accurately if it is not profitable to make money by betting on a game.
But for Bian Xuedao, it was incredibly simple.
Just now, when Wang Yinan said "look at the progress of the game project", Bian Xuedao remembered a game that was very profitable and has not yet been listed.
The game that Bian Xuedao thought of was "Eight Heavenly Dragons" developed by Sohu.
In his previous life, Bian Xuedao played "Eight Heavenly Dragons" with his colleagues for a period of time, spent some money in the game, and knew more about gameplay and playability. At that time, the revenue of "Babu Tianlong" supported half of Sohu's financial report, and even contributed 80% of Sohu's revenue that year at its peak. Two years after the game's launch, Sohu's game-run subsidiary went public on the NASDAQ in 2009.
Here's your chance!
Web games and mobile games can make money, and that's a few years later, and now it's a wise choice to take a successful terminal game that has been tested by the market in the past life as a profit point.
Thinking of this, Bian Xuedao couldn't sit still.
He can't remember when the "Eight Heavenly Dragons" was in the open beta in his previous life, but he remembered that he played this game at the end of 2007 in his previous life, which means that there was not much time left for him to talk to Sohu about agents.
Once the internal test, Sohu found that the market response was good, and it was basically impossible to win the agent.
Bian Xuedao motioned for Wang Yinan to sit closer, rubbed the water cup on the table and said, "I know you're very busy, but I'm going to go abroad to do something soon, and I have to let you take over something." β
Wang Yinan asked, "What's the matter?"
Bian Xuedao said: "A game studio under Sohu is developing a game called "Eight Heavenly Dragons", you send someone to contact me, I want to win the agency of this game." β
Wang Yinan asked: "Sohu intends to sell?"
Bian Xuedao said: "There is no such rumor, it is purely that I want to represent this game." β
Wang Yinan couldn't hold back and asked, "Why do you want to act as an agent?"
Bian Xuedao can only prevaricate with lies.
"A friend I knew from college, who was part of the development of this game, was a game freak in college, and he told me that he was very optimistic about this game. β
Wang Yinan listened, his eyes were a little complicated.
I feel that the other party developed the game, and the company disagrees with it, thinking that it is a defective product, and then trying to find a way to take over and recover the loss of R&D investment.
However, his boss is a demon-level businessman, how can he be deceived so lightly?
Bian Xuedao saw the doubts in Wang Yinan's heart, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he said: "The achievements of Zhiwei Development are very good, but it is too early to talk about profits, if you insist on taking money from users, it may ruin the good situation." However, relying only on daring to transfuse blood will affect the expansion of other aspects of the group. Therefore, we now need a project that can spit out money to support the development of Zhiwei. β
Wang Yinan pondered for a while and asked: "I understand what you said, I was just thinking, what if the market response to this game is not good?"
Bian Xuedao smiled and said: "My friend is a good person, he rarely tells lies, and if he doesn't gamble, how do you know if it's okay?"
Wang Yinan finally nodded: "I'll arrange someone to talk to Sohu in the afternoon." β
Coming out of Zhiwei, he went home and slept while learning the Tao.
After waking up, he lay on the bed and exchanged a few text messages with Xu Shangxiu, then got up and got out of bed to prepare the things he wanted to bring abroad.
As soon as I stopped, I turned on my computer and surfed the Internet, wanting to search for some reports about Shen Fu, so as not to have no topics to talk about when we met in Germany.
After wandering around the Internet for a while, a report jumped into view: on the morning of November 20, 2006, an old lady was waiting for bus No. 83 at a bus stop in Shuiximen Square in Nanjing. Peng Yu, a 26-year-old young man, found the old lady who had fallen to the ground, and immediately helped her up, and sent her to the hospital for treatment with the old lady's family who arrived later, during which he also paid 200 yuan for medical expenses. When Peng Yu was about to leave, the old lady suddenly insisted that Peng Yu hit her, Peng Yu denied it, and the old lady's family immediately called the police......
Peng-Woo-case!
The "landmark incidents" of lagging behind in truth, poor level of case handling, and objectively leading to a decline in social morality have occurred again.
