"Xiaotian, Rakuten has sent you an invitation to participate in this year's Internet forum." Shen Yali reported to Wu Tian about her work, and finally took out the invitation card and said.

"Internet forums? Who used to attend? Wu Tian asked.

"In the past, Mr. Chang went, but this year, Mr. Chang has to participate on behalf of Fengyun, so I hope you can go." Shen Yali said.

"Well, where did it happen?" Wu Tian asked.

"This year, it is going to be held in West Lake for three days." Shen Yali said.

"Well, it's good to meet old friends." Wu Tian said with a smile.

Since it is a high-end Internet forum, several bigwigs in the industry will definitely participate, such as Jia Liang of Taobao, Jiang Weixing of Tiansheng, Lao Ding of Sanshi, etc., Wu Tian of course has to go to see the situation.

"Okay, I'll go back to Tianle." Shen Yali said.

"Well, by the way, how is your dad's health?" Wu Tian asked.

The last time I went back to the mall, Shen Wenyu was not feeling well and was being hospitalized to recuperate, after all, he was not forgiving at his age.

"It's better, but it's all geriatric diseases such as high blood pressure, and I can only recuperate slowly." Shen Yali said.

"Well, last time your dad said he wanted you to go back and start trying to take over the management of the academy, what did you think?" Wu Tian said.

"What do you think I should do?" Shen Yali asked in the opposite direction.

"If you are interested in the management of the college, it is better to go back, after all, he is old and his health is not very good, so he can't work too hard." Wu Tian said, "In addition, Aunt Yang also needs your help, the development momentum has slowed down a little in recent years, which is not very good." ”

Yang Aiyun is responsible for the establishment of Chinese culture and education abroad, in the early years, with Li Xiaofeng's entertainment offensive in the stick country, the development speed is quite rapid, at least in the surrounding countries The operation is quite successful, but the development momentum in recent years has slowed down significantly, especially in Europe and the United States, almost no progress has been made, for this, Wu Tian is very dissatisfied, thinking about letting Shen Yali take over this work.

"Okay, then I'll go back. But what about you? Shen Yali asked.

"I'll let Xiaoyu supervise him temporarily, he's been with me for so many years, it's time to change his position, and the young couple also have the right to enjoy life." Wu Tian said with a smile.

Hao Yu and Changle's bodyguards have long become a couple, but the nature of the work determines that it is difficult for the two to be stable, so Wu Tian simply decided to put Hao Yu off his post and act as his full-time secretary......

This Internet forum is set up in a manor near the West Lake, and the scenery in the Jiangnan garden-style manor is naturally not bad, which can be said to give those busy CEOs a leisure opportunity.

In fact, the pace of this forum was also very relaxed, and only two forums were held in the morning and evening every day, each time only about two hours, giving everyone enough time to move freely.

For these elites, I am afraid that no one likes to have a meeting, they are willing to participate in such activities, on the one hand, for the sake of exposure, on the other hand, for communication, after all, the participants are elites in the industry, everyone has competition, more opportunities for cooperation, good at discovering, naturally can grasp some opportunities.

However, Wu Tian didn't have much interest in either holding meetings or communicating, and the reason why he came to participate was more because he took the opportunity to meet old friends, and another point was to accompany Chang Le.

Fengyun Group now also has a place in the Internet field, in addition to the company's online mall and customer website, but also invested in the operation of several other classified websites, although the scale is not very large, but in the relevant classification is also a leader, naturally it is also invited to participate in this summit forum.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the organizer to be very careful, and actually arranged the two of us in the same room." Chang Le laughed.

Wu Tian's focus was not on this, but on this room with a Chinese classical style, from the antique furniture, to the landscape calligraphy and paintings on the wall, he was very satisfied, and said: "Go back and let people find the garden designer here, let's build a garden like this, okay?" ”

Chang Le sneered and said, "Are you here to participate in the Internet Forum, or are you here to participate in the Architecture Forum?" Not doing business. ”

"Hehe, when did I get a good job?" Wu Tian said with a smile.

Thinking about it, this guy doesn't seem to be professional in anything, from company management, to network technology, to making movies, all of them are a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and he hasn't worked seriously for a long time at all.

But it's just that it's not professional, but it's better than what a professional does!

"Okay, let's clean up first, I'll see Liangzi and them later, and see where we discuss tomorrow at the meeting." Chang Le smiled.

In general, the Internet forum is a relatively relaxed discussion format, except for arranging a few industry elites to give some speeches that are not very long, more time is for everyone to speak freely around some topics. These speeches naturally contain their own positions, and it is likely that these findings with some debative nature will affect the development trend of the entire industry in the next step.

As a heavyweight force in the industry, the "Tian" company naturally has to have its own position......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** *************

"Brother Tian, it's a very difficult time to play games now, if I didn't know that you were here, I wouldn't be ready to come, I'm embarrassed to meet my peers......" Jiao Pengju said.

Naturally, there are all kinds of facilities in the courtyard where the forum is located, and Wu Tian and the others want a large private room, and they will get together first.

"Hehe, Mr. Jiao, you are embarrassed to cry poor, your profit last year was over 100 million, right? According to you, we are not alive anymore? Xue Keqing said with a smile.

Although Xue Keqing's music website is the largest in its kind, its profitability cannot be compared with that of a game company. You must know that at this stage, most domestic Internet companies are still relying on advertising to make money, while game companies can actually charge users.

"That's not what I said, although the company looks at making money, it's too much worse than the previous two years." Jiao Pengju said, "Now that games have entered the free era, although the free model attracted many users at the beginning, the problem is that there are too many problems in the free model itself, and many people would rather not play games or play free games now......

Wu Tian smiled and nodded, Jiao Pengju could see this problem clearly, proving that the growth in the past few years is not small.

When the whole network was a paid game, Wu Tian gave Jiao Peng the concept of free games, so in a short period of time, the company's games were hyped up and quickly gained a firm foothold.

But the problem is that the free model itself has a serious flaw, that is, a serious imbalance!

Some players pay for high-end equipment and can pay very little game time to crush most free gamers, which is quite unfair to most of the free players. So, this kind of game means that either you spend money, or you can only be oppressed.

According to relevant surveys, only a small percentage of players are willing to spend money to play games, and those who are not willing to spend money will not spend money even if the game is fun. So the result is that those so-called free games, after a little longer, will lose free players, and without the foundation of free players, where can players who spend money still have a sense of superiority? It will cause a sharp drop in popularity, and in the end, no one cares.

This has been the case in the gaming market in recent years, with a large number of large and small companies launching many free-to-play games, and no matter how good or bad they are made, almost the end result is a limited lifespan, and players are quickly thrown aside.

Industry insiders have complained that the competition is too fierce now, but not many people really realize that the root of this problem is actually in the model.

Therefore, the profit model of games has come to a major change, and whoever can seize this opportunity will be able to stand on the pinnacle of the next stage of game companies......

"The most successful online game is probably World of Warcraft, right?" Wu Tian asked Jiao Pengju with a smile, but without waiting for Jiao Pengju to answer, he said, "The main mode of Warcraft is to level up heroes and then explore the world of the game. One of the benefits of this mode is that most players will play the game with one goal, which is to reach the highest level of the hero and explore the entire game world. ”

"But what if the player accomplishes that goal? Will they continue to play the game? Wu Tian asked with a smile, "Most of the domestic online games are in this mode now, how many can surpass "World of Warcraft"?" ”

Jiao Pengju frowned and thought about Wu Tian's words, and among the people at the scene, Jiang Weixing and Ding Sanshi, who also had game business, were also thinking about Wu Tian's words.

There is no doubt that there is now an online game that has the ability to surpass the "World of Warcraft", not to mention the domestic, even in the world, that kind of huge world concept, but it can not be completed in a short period of time, Blizzard after years of accumulation, several generations of stand-alone strategy games and extended desktop card games, game novels, etc., to construct this world.

Not to mention its excellent game engine and production level, domestic game companies are at least ten years behind, let alone surpassed.

It is because of the free-to-play strategy implemented by domestic online games that people are barely allowed to play, and they will soon be abandoned, because the game experience is too far behind.

"So, if you want to surpass World of Warcraft, you don't have to think about it for the time being." Wu Tian said with a smile, "Then we can only find a breakthrough from another aspect, that is, the game experience, and the mode of the game." ”

"Since leveling up and exploring aren't available, why can't we make a game that doesn't require upgrades, monsters, or even maps?" Wu Tian said.

"Huh? Is that still a game? Jiao Pengju asked.

"Hehe, when I was a child, we played arcade machines, weren't we still fascinated?" Wu Tian said with a smile, "For example, "Street Fighter", it is a fight between two people, but they still enjoy it, why can't online games have such a model?" ”

"Online game street fighter?" Jiao Peng raised his head and said, "Isn't it too simple?" ”

"It's a little simpler, but you can play it according to this idea, for example, the number of people in the game, it can be three against three, five against five, for example, characters, it can be richer, magicians, warriors, archers, each type has developed dozens of different characters, each character has different skills? Wouldn't that be more varied in the game? ”

The eyes of everyone present suddenly lit up, and this idea might really succeed.

Wu Tian smiled, this idea can definitely succeed, and even the work of the big bull company in the previous life will be launched soon, and the big bull company has naturally been taken into Wu Tian's bag at this moment......

[Bow and thank you for the lonely emotion, the dragon beetle is not about the monthly pass!] (To be continued.) )
