Chen Guangming and Gabe? Newell's eyes lit up, his expression was very excited, and he was even more amazed at Song Chen's ambition in his heart. Especially Gabe? Newell, who only thought about how to enrich the product line of "Half-Life" before, never considered developing his own search engine, because it not only takes a lot of time to open a 3D game engine, but also requires strong financial support, and the "Half-Life" series uses the Thor's Hammer II engine.

Because it is a license, you need to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in license fees and tens of thousands of version upgrade fees every year.

Just Gabe? Newell and Mike? Harrington added scripted sequence technology to the foundation of Quake II, which allowed the game to experience the plot in a way that touched the events in a logical rhythm, which was undoubtedly a great revolution for first-person shooters that had little focus on plot since their inception; The second feature is an improvement on the AI engine, which makes the enemy's actions significantly more cunning than before, and is no longer simply pounced on the muzzle.

These two characteristics give the Half-Life engine its distinctive personality, and the addition of excellent titles such as Team Fortress, Counter-Strike, and Ruined Miè Day has been added to the Half-Life engine even more with the addition of the guò netcode.

It can be said that VA1VE already has the technical strength to develop game engines, and the addition of Chenxing Games and the addition of Korean technical backbones can make VA1VE more powerful.

However, Song Chen is a layman after all, and in order to avoid his ignorance of the game industry, Chen Guangming, who is cautious by nature, still cautiously reminded him: "Song Dong, it takes at least three years to open a game engine, or even longer......

Without waiting for Chen Guangming to finish speaking, Song Chen laughed loudly: "I know, time is not a problem. Funding is also not an issue. Technology is the problem! I don't want a game engine that comes out in a few years to be outdated technology. That's the key! ”

Gaby? Newell sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "Boss, we will do everything we can to make the game engine the most advanced technology in the world!" ”

Nodding, Song Chen muttered: "Because the cycle of opening a game engine is too long, and the cost is too high. So it's risky! I tentatively plan to set up a new technology company under Chenxing Culture Group, which is easy to manage! As for the personnel...... Newell, ask for someone to give you people, ask for money to give you money. Just get ready! ”

Gaby? Newell nodded excitedly: "No problem! ”

Song Chen smiled and continued: "The second reason is that I plan to set up an agency company specializing in online games in the United States, which will be temporarily under the Chenxing Culture Group!" Compared to China, I am not familiar with the European and American online game market, so do you have any good ideas? ”

Now that the profitability of the online game industry has a clear picture, Erik? Schmidt was happy to see this, clasped his hands to his mouth, and said: "In the emerging industry of online games, Chenxing Games is not a pioneer. But at least he is an influential leader with rich operational experience! If you want to build an online game agency in the United States, you can 'borrow' an operation team from Chenxing Games! ”

"Not bad. However, after all, the culture of China and the United States is different, and the selection of executive officers must be cautious! "Gabe? Newell mused, "It's just...... Why is it temporarily attributed to Chenxing culture? ”

Song Chen smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I haven't made this plan clear yet, so I won't tell you about it for the time being!" ”

Looking at Li Wei, Song Chen asked, "Mr. Li, Gabe?" How do you think Newell's building is, and are there any difficulties? ”

Li Wei was silent for a moment and said, "Because Chenxing Game is now in a state of tense expansion, it is not appropriate to mobilize too many middle-level backbones. However, I can arrange for a lean operations team to travel to the U.S. to set up the company's framework first! ”

Chenxing Games has a heavy task this year, in addition to the second expansion of "King of Kings" will be launched soon, Song Chen Investment emade and Chenxing Games to participate in the opening, the Chinese translation of the new online game "Blood Legend" can be launched in June and July, if it is smooth, this autumn and winter can be officially charged, Chenxing Games is busy recruiting people at this time is too late, how can there be spare energy to open the American market!

What's more, next year, we will need to act as an agent for "MU", a product also from South Korea!

Song Chen nodded: "Then so be it!" Before setting up a new company, it's a good idea to ask a consulting firm to do some research on the U.S. market. ”

"Boss, where are the agent products?" Gaby? Newell glanced at Chen Guangming, and then asked Song Chen, "Is it the "King of Kings"?" ”

Song Chen smiled and said: "In addition to "The King of the Net" and "The Legend of Mir 2", which is about to be closed for testing, you can also think of a way to do it yourself, American, Japanese, Korean, or European online game products, I am not familiar with the American market, so I won't propose anything!" I just want to test the depth of the American online game market through the Guò agency! ”

Song Chen's strategy is radical and mysterious, and there is no lack of prudence, which is also one of his charms, which is heartbreaking.

After Zhai Yan sat back in his seat, Eric? Schmidt came to the podium next to the screen, and then, the projector changed a set of numbers again, and the red and blue lines were reflected on a set of pictures, so that people could clearly see the number of users, operating income, profit margins, and so on of the two companies.

"Like Baidu, goog1e and paypa1 continued to grow by 29.7% and 33.1% respectively in the first quarter, while va1ve has been on the market for a period of time due to "Half-Life" and "Half-Life: Counter-Strike", and its operating income has declined slightly due to the vacuum period of the product!"

The core subsidiaries of American Chenxing Holdings are naturally goog1e and paypa1.

GOOG1E is the absolute hegemon of the global search market, and traditional search engine providers have either transformed into portals or withdrawn from the market due to the loss of users and the NASDAQ stock crash.

PayPa1 is a pioneer in online payment, with a market share of more than 45% in North America, and the European market is relatively cautious, since its inception, it has only opened payments in currencies such as pounds sterling and francs, and the most important thing is that PayPa1 lacks its own e-commerce support in Europe, and can only rely on the support of eBay and local e-commerce companies in Europe, which makes Paypa1's European strategy appear more conservative!

Of course, this conservatism is by no means meaningless, because the relationship between Paypa1 and eBay is fragile and almost crumbling, Logge? Filet must consider Paypa1's awkward position after eBay and its parent company turned out.

va1ve's table xiàn is good, mainly with three products and two series, one is "Team Fortress", this product is distributed as a free form, and the sequel already has a planning book, but because of the hot sale of "Half-Life", the opening plan has not been put on the agenda for the time being; The second is undoubtedly "Half-Life" and "Half-Life: Counter-Strike" with the addition of online combat features, the latter of which has been widely acclaimed and has become one of the most popular single-player games in the United States and even in the world.

"Goog1E's global operating income in the first quarter reached US$56.29 million, and the net profit was US$10.31 million, an increase of 86.7% year-on-year and 28.1% quarter-on-quarter. Among them, click advertising revenue accounts for 65%; Display ads account for 28%, and AdSense accounts for 7% because of its late launch! ……”

Since the launch of AORDS, GOOG1E has grown amazingly and has paid off handsomely! Of course, compared to Goog1E's next investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, it is a drop in the bucket, and it is very little.

Before proceeding with Series C financing or going public, GOOG1E can only rely on the parent company, SoftBank Group and Yahoo to provide a large amount of "blood transfusion"!

Turning the pen with one hand and holding his cheeks with the other, Song Chen listened attentively to Schmidt's report on these boring words, occasionally hearing puzzles, and picking up a pen and paper to leave questions in the meeting minutes prepared by Zeng Qian, most of the time, he played the role of a good listener.

Zhai Yan is more attentive than Song Chen, because she knows her position very well: to make up for Song Chen's shortcomings in managing the company, and to replace him in the implementation of policy implementers under prerequisites! At the same time, as a core executive, in Chenxing's growing Internet empire, she will become the spokesperson for the interests of the Song family, avoiding the possibility of letting professional managers usurp the power and interests belonging to Song Chen!

Eric? At the end of Schmidt's report, Zhai Yan wrote two beautiful lines in her notebook and asked, "What do shareholders SoftBank Group and Yahoo say about the construction of the Goog1e Digital Center?" ”

Although goog1e and Baidu's digital center plan are plans that must be implemented, but at the current scale, Baidu outsources server hosting, and there is a certain location redundancy in the Chenxing Park where goog1e is located. Schmidt and Zhu Tiejun.

"In the conference call, Masayoshi Son has said that he will subscribe to Goog1E's additional shares according to the proportion of shares, but judging from the content of Japan's IT economic newspaper, there are still differences within the SoftBank Group!" Eric? Schmidt groaned and said slowly, "But judging from the character and influence of Masayoshi Son, there should be no problem on the part of SoftBank Group!" ”

"What about Yahoo?" Song Chen asked with concern.
