164 World of Warcraft

After the Spring Festival, Chen Xueqian did not stay in his hometown for long. www.biquge.info At this time, with his latest layout, many matters are waiting for him to sort out.

During this time at home, Chen Xueqian roughly sorted out all the companies under his name.

The first is Chen Xueqian's studio, as well as its affiliated Sunshine Coffee. With the continuous expansion of the scale, Chen Xueqian officially integrated all his resources in the cultural industry.

American studios and South Korean film and television companies were all included in Summit Entertainment in this integration, and through this merger and acquisition, Chen Xueqian once again diluted the stock holdings of other shareholders of Summit Entertainment, and a series of negotiations for this were not easy.

After a lengthy period of negotiations, the board of directors was finally forced to reach a relevant merger agreement due to Chen Xueqian's terrifying ability to attract money. You must know that Chen Xueqian's new work "Twilight", which has just been released, has brought the company $380 million in global revenue.

For such a money-printing machine-like existence, the shareholders of Summit Entertainment would not be stupid enough to force him to stand on his own. For Chen Xueqian, it is not difficult to start a new business at all, the only problem is time and energy. Thinking about this, the mercenary shareholders finally relented.

In the end, Chen Xueqian and many shareholders reached an agreement, Chen Xueqian will own 60% of the shares of Summit Entertainment, and then Chen Xueqian and Summit Entertainment will invest proportionally to expand the company's theater scale in the United States. And Chen Xueqian still needs to continue to negotiate with them on this point.

In addition to the film and television department, Summit Entertainment will also open a new department to take charge of comics and novels. This department will not only be limited to Chen Xueqian's many works, but will also continue to explore potential comics and novels.

The reason for this integration is that Chen Xueqian proposed that in the future, when novels or comics are adapted into movies, animation will become a trend, and with the popularity of novels, comics, and even movies, they can also be reversely adapted.

Chen Xueqian incorporated them into a system in order to maximize the rational use of the company's resources. With this integration, Chen Xueqian Studio will also be renamed Summit Entertainment China Branch.

Sunshine Coffee will be officially spun off from the management of the studio and handed over to Angel Investment for unified management.

In a sense, this decision is also in line with Chen Xueqian's definition of this industry, real estate and coffee brand investment. At this time, this investment has already begun to bear fruit, in addition to the good operation of coffee shops in various places, making it difficult for Starbucks to gain a foothold in China, and its possession of high-quality stores is gradually becoming more valuable.

In addition, Chen Xueqian's investment company established in China will also be included as part of Angel Investment, and will be responsible for investment management throughout Asia in the future.

As for the game company jointly funded by Chen Xueqian and NetEase, Chen Xueqian will be completely independent, and Chen Xueqian himself will be the president of the company.

The industry, which it has named as CC High-Tech R&D Company, will be fully committed to the development of the Internet and related industries.

The company finally settled in Jinling. In this way, geographical conflicts with NetEase can be avoided. And in this way, the company can rely on the talent pool centered on Jinling.

Looking at China, Jinling University is among the top universities. And in addition to Jinling University, there are also top universities in Jiangnan, such as Sioux City and Southeast University. Not at all inferior to anywhere else in terms of talent pool.

The developed economic environment, perfect economic structure, manufacturing industry, and supporting capacity of electronic products in Jiangnan Province also fully meet the rise of an IT giant. In terms of policy, Jiangnan Province also welcomes this kind of high-tech industry.

Although at this time, this business empire that can face Google and Apple in the future in Chen Xueqian's planning, is still just a newcomer in the industry who has just obtained the agency of "World of Warcraft".

In order to take the first step at the beginning, Chen Xueqian rushed to CC Technology early and sat here in person.

CC Technology is located in the science and technology park on Jinling Software Avenue, Chen Xueqian spent more than 100 million yuan to directly win a building and the entire community attached to the development.

For this reason, most of the money he earned in South Korea was invested.

Then, on March 21, 2005, World of Warcraft officially landed in Chinese mainland, began a limited beta, and conducted a public beta on April 26.

This grand online game that Blizzard Entertainment took years to build, once it was released, was ahead of the exquisite production of its contemporaries with its magnificent expansion packs and epic plots. Groundbreaking ways to operate. More diverse career options and a variety of novel settings have won the attention of countless players.

You know, what are the popular games in the Chinese market at this time?

"World of Legends" 2D picture, "Fantasy Journey to the West" Q-like painting style. Although they each have their own countless fans, it is undeniable that they also block many players who are not comfortable with this style of art.

And at this time, the advent of World of Warcraft has undoubtedly given all gamers one more choice.

At the same time, when the entire industry saw this game, it also saw the development direction of future games. For a time, 3D graphics, expansion films and other elements have become a regular means and main direction of the industry.

Just when the employees of CC Technology were immersed in the success of this game, Chen Xueqian proposed a new task in time.

Developed a stable software for World of Warcraft, which can realize the simultaneous voice chat of multiple people.

It wasn't long before World of Warcraft was about to usher in the glory days of a 40-member group, and it was this copy that gave the game's guild an extraordinary cohesiveness.

Think about how much cohesion a dungeon would have to gather 40 elite players to expand the city. The game world is unreal, but the players behind each of the game's characters are real.

Through a game, they get to know a completely different world from the usual, and get to know a group of friends and comrades who may never have the chance to meet in their lives, but they have a tacit understanding.

It's this feeling that makes them love this game, and how can a game that makes countless people happy not be popular?

As for Chen Xueqian's request to develop a voice chat tool, it is to strengthen the communication between players and make the game more cohesive. Bring players closer together.

So when Chen Xueqian made this request, the response of the whole company was extremely enthusiastic, and they witnessed the growth of the game, and even many of them were players of the game themselves.

So they can understand what this software means for the game.

It's just that what they can see is still too superficial. As a descendant who traveled back in 2016, Chen Xueqian undoubtedly sees farther than them.

In later generations, it is "League of Legends", "Dungeons & Warriors", and "CrossFire" that are dominating the game market.

And behind these games, there is a common figure, and that is Penguin.

Of course, there is the charm of the game itself, but it is undeniable that the terrifying popularity of Penguin Software also plays a huge role in it.

You don't need to apply for an account, and you can log in directly to the game with a chat tool, which is a simple but soft-pitched way to make the game more acceptable.

Deep down in everyone's heart, there is an instinct to be afraid of trouble, and sometimes just a little simple and convenient can invisibly bring you more users.

And Chen Xueqian is well aware of the market share of the game "World of Warcraft", so Chen Xueqian came up with a strategy of reverse promotion.

With so many Warcraft players, and the game is so demanding for voice communication, why not use this game to reverse the popularity of your chat tool?

Chen Xueqian plans to wait for his chat tool to be developed, and then carry out an adaptation period in advance, so that players can rely on it. When everyone began to adapt to the compatibility of the two, Chen Xueqian officially merged the two into one.

If you sign up for chat software, you don't need to sign up for a game account. Subsequently, he could also incorporate the "Zhu Xian" that was being developed into it. In this way, his chat software can naturally occupy a huge commercial market.

And this chat tool, Chen Xueqian completely imitated WeChat to create. It's just that the function at this time is limited by the hardware, and there are still big obstacles.

Video chat is the next direction for Chen Xueqian to develop, and he can also take the lead in launching a live broadcast platform in the future.

This entire industrial chain has been driven and revitalized in one of his ideas. It has to be said that this is an advantage as a descendant.

Compared to the careful groping of others on this road, he can make a bold layout in advance. Such an advantage is almost an insurmountable gap!

Not only that, in addition to Chen Xueqian's own preparation to develop chat software, he is also instigating NetEase to develop a Weibo function.

The reason why Chen Xueqian, who has always adhered to the principle of not competing with the Chinese people, instigated NetEase to snatch the lifeblood of Sina's future so much this time is actually because he was really disgusted by this company in later generations.

Sina, a website that claims to serve the Greater China region, has a very clear mark of Taiwanese capital, and it does not shy away from leaning towards Taiwan independence forces in terms of political leanings.

For such a company, although Chen Xueqian is not an angry youth, he is really tired of it. A company rooted in Chinese mainland and growing up on Chinese people does things that completely deviate from the interests of Chinese people, which is inevitably despicable.

Therefore, Chen Xueqian did not have any psychological burden to let NetEase, which also focuses on content provision, seize the opportunity in this market.

In this regard, Ding Lei is quite grateful to Chen Xueqian, as an excellent businessman, he keenly saw the huge prospects from Chen Xueqian's proposal.

Although smartphones have not really been popularized at this time, and the great promotion of this model by personal terminals has not yet been fully demonstrated, Chen Xueqian's idea of creating an information release platform for all media, individuals, and even state organs can interact and communicate is enough to make NetEase moved.

In the future, the end use of the Internet can actually be classified into one category, that is, to provide content or platform services.

In fact, the BAT of later generations grasped this point and developed in this direction impartially from the beginning, so that it finally broke through the encirclement and truly led China's Internet industry.

Of course, another reason why Chen Xueqian is so kind is that he still holds a lot of shares in NetEase. NetEase has made money, and he is naturally indispensable for dividends. And the reason why he didn't do it himself was because the R&D investment and later maintenance costs were quite large, and he didn't plan to spend so much energy on it. (To be continued.) )
