Chapter 115: If You Want to Blame, Your Company Is Too Charming (3/4)
It was not only Zhou Xuan who had similar thoughts, but also Wang Dalong, who was far away in Pengcheng.
It's just that as the manager of the WeChat department of Hiace Group, as well as an Internet practitioner with many years of experience, his views are far more in-depth than Zhou Xuan's.
This little game in the communication tool is sometimes like a communication tool without words, which can make the avatar sleeping in your communication list suddenly appear in front of you as if it came to life.
This interactivity is far greater than the friend who swipes his finger and skims or likes in the circle of friends.
Is the game really fun?
Probably not fun!
But it allows you to see my name in the rankings, so that we don't have much intersection in our lives to have a common language...... Even if it's just the beginning of a topic.
"That's wonderful...... This idea. ”
Looking at the game on the screen with interest, Wang Dalong was full of praise.
If it weren't for the fact that the mini program is an open user platform, he couldn't help but want his programmers to follow this design idea and re-make a similar game and implant it into WeChat's additional functions.
But......
It doesn't seem necessary to do so?
As an open platform, they should take a long-term view and not be as short-sighted as the game development teams in the group. Instead of grasping one or two ideas that are expected to become popular in your hands, it is better to concentrate on the platform itself and provide an environment for enterprises or individual users to incubate ideas.
As long as this platform is done well, they don't even have to do anything, and there will naturally be a steady stream of popular products emerging in this garden.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Wang Dalong's face.
"Since it's already on fire, let's add another fire to him!"
Just when Wang Dalong was thinking about how to arrange a marketing plan, add a fire to the popularity of this software, and attract a large number of enterprises to settle in the mini program platform, Xu Qianshi, who was far away in Shanghai, also noticed this small game that suddenly appeared in the circle of friends.
"It's Yunmeng again?"
Looking at the report submitted by his subordinates, his face was like a ghost.
It's also strange to say.
It's actually been a month since the game was uploaded, but it has been tepid on the mini program platform, and there has been no major improvement, so much so that he only noticed that the game company with genius-like creativity that he followed actually produced another impressive "masterpiece".
However, this is also reasonable.
After all, WeChat's mini-program function has just been launched, and most WeChat users are not used to this feature, which is somewhat redundant for social software.
However, it is precisely because of this that this little game suddenly became popular in the circle of friends, which is even more confusing.
"I don't think it's a lot of fun."
Hearing Mr. Xu's complaint, the secretary standing at the desk spoke.
"To be honest, I don't really understand why this game is popular...... To be honest, I even have a feeling that this game has suddenly appeared in the circle of friends. However, regardless of the reason for its popularity, it was a great idea to put the game out on social platforms instead of paying for it. ”
"How?" Xu Qianshi said casually.
"Because it's not worth anything at all!" The secretary continued, "Even if it is a slightly gameplay game like 2048, people's willingness to pay for it is not very strong, and after the mobile version we made was released in the rice APP market, the sales of the PC version on the Dianqu platform quickly entered a bottleneck period, so that Yunmeng Games had to quickly embark on the project of Escape from the Horse Temple to balance the cross-platform impact of the mobile version on the PC version." ”
Xu Qianshi nodded: "The fact that it can't be sold at a very high price is indeed a flaw in this game, and the most I can personally accept is two yuan, and I feel a loss if I have one more dollar...... So they chose to put it on a free platform? ”
"The key is the free 'social' platform," the secretary continued, "The operation threshold is low, the game method is simple, it is easy to get started, and the perfect combination of the ranking system and the circle of friends function, this game is simply tailor-made for social software...... Mr. Xu, imagine if you add a new beauty's WeChat——"
"Ahem," Xu Qianshi coughed lightly, "I have a family." ”
"Well, I know, I mean its most critical role is to be able to create topics between strangers and strangers," the secretary looked embarrassed, and quickly changed his words and continued, "For example, we are strangers, and you don't know if I like to watch movies or stage plays, but if there is a tool that can quickly create a topic in your circle of friends, as long as both parties have a certain interest in each other, they can quickly find the entry point of the topic." ”
"It's true that you say that, but I actually feel that it's not so much like a game, but like an ancillary feature of social software." Xu Qianshi nodded thoughtfully.
"Brilliant! That's probably the reason. The secretary immediately gave a thumbs up and smiled at the sycophants.
didn't take the secretary's sycophants to heart, Xu Qianshi leaned back on the office chair, and let out a heartfelt sigh after pondering for a long time.
"Anyway, the WeChat department of the Sea Lion Group should have noticed this game."
There is no reason why this kind of game, which has the potential to be a big hit, should not be the object of key publicity.
Although Yunmeng Games doesn't look like it's particularly good at publicity, the Sea Lion Group is a veteran in this regard.
In particular, their WeChat department is having a headache on how to promote the Mini Program function and prove the monetization value of WeChat users to the majority of enterprises, so there is even more reason to make this game a model and promote it to their own users.
When the time comes, you can also take advantage of the popularity of the game to attract a large number of enterprises to settle in the Mini Program.
This matter has no impact on Rice Group and Rice Entertainment for the time being, and what really makes Xu Qianshi envious is not that this popular game does not appear on his own platform, but the ability of Yunmeng Games to create popular products one after another.
For such an awesome enterprise, it is a waste of social resources not to be included in its own camp!
"Hey! I really want it. ”
Xu Qianshi sighed and suddenly looked at his secretary.
"You said it would be nice if we used 200 million to directly acquire Yunmeng Group."
Mr. Xu...... You're laughing at it, there's no way the board of directors would have agreed to such a nonsensical takeover. The secretary said with a wry smile.
200 million to buy a start-up?
Well, even if they do create a popular mobile game like Temple Escape with a monthly turnover of 2~30 million, and relax all other conditions to indeed get a valuation of 200 million to 400 million, no one will approve such a nonsense acquisition.
At most, the board can accept financing with a VAM agreement.
Xu Qianshi smiled faintly and didn't explain anything.
It was a joke, and he knew in his heart that the board of directors would never approve such an acquisition plan.
It's just that one yard is one yard, and his psychological expectation price of Yunmeng Group is worth at least 500 million. If he could really buy the other party for 200 million, and he had the ability to convince the board of directors, he felt that he would probably not hesitate to make a move.
It's like he bought "Electric Fun".
The development of the rice empire in hardware has entered a bottleneck, and only when both software and hardware go hand in hand, it is possible to create greater miracles in this industry.
"Actually...... Mr. Xu. ”
"What's wrong?"
"If you're interested in Yunmeng Group, I have a solution." The secretary hesitated for a moment before saying.
"What's the solution? Let's hear it. Xu Qianshi raised his eyebrows with interest, looked away from the document in his hand, looked at his secretary and asked.
"I have investigated before that although the three subsidiaries of Yunmeng Group are financially independent of each other, they are very ...... in management It's very casual, and it seems to me to be a bit confusing. For example, Yunmeng Media and Tianyuan Pictures cooperated to invest in a movie, and Yunmeng Investment took down a loss-making farm, so that they were obviously profitable, but they were in debt......"
"You mean, their cash flow is unhealthy?" A hint of shrewdness appeared in Xu Qianshi's eyes.
"That's right," the secretary nodded, "Although they have three branches, only one is profitable, as long as we find a way to dig out the core employees of this subsidiary and make the normal operation of Yunmeng Games in trouble, they will soon be crushed to death by their own debt ratio and two big holes that burn money...... When the time comes, if you make another offer to buy the company, I don't think it will be very difficult to repay the debt. ”
Hey?
That's an interesting idea.
And the most important thing is that there is no risk, and the core employees of Yunmeng Group really want it...... Although what I want most is Mr. Hao himself.
Thinking of this, Xu Qianshi's face suddenly had a look of interest.
After pondering for a long time, he asked his secretary to call Wu Jianhua from the marketing department to his office and gave him a task.
"I heard that Yunmeng Group is preparing for the autumn job fair, and I plan to arrange someone from the personnel department to go to Jiangcheng for a while, and you will also pick a reliable person to come out to help. When the time comes, I will trouble him to go on a business trip and cooperate with the work of the human resources department. ”
Wu Jianhua was slightly stunned, and didn't ask what kind of job it was, but he just heard that he was on a business trip because of the job fair, and he thought it was probably some thankless drudgery, so he nodded immediately.
"Okay, Mr. Xu! I'll arrange it! ”
Looking at the back of Wu Jianhua turning around and leaving the office, the corners of Xu Qianshi's mouth curled up with a smile.
Brother Hao, don't blame me for being unkind.
If you want to blame it, your company is so charming!
As long as the hoe is swung well, and no wall root cannot be dug down, Xu Qianshi is not worried that this plan may fail. After all, in the face of the offer and generous price of the rice group, how much is loyalty worth?
He believes that no startup executive can resist such a temptation......
