Shengjing, No. 8, Shandian Street, Shandian District, 11th Floor, Huagang International Building, Inferior Cool Video Headquarters.

A middle-aged man with rectangular black-rimmed glasses and a sexy mustache paced around the room.

He clutched a document tightly in his hand, and he held it so hard that even the knuckles of his fingers were a little white.

Finally, he stopped, slapped the document on the desk, and then looked at the front of the desk: "What do you say about it?" ”

His voice was a little louder, with suppressed anger: "Everyone said, how can I explain to the board?" How to explain to shareholders? ”

There were four people standing at the desk, all with their heads down, their eyes looking at their noses and their noses, and none of them spoke.

The middle-aged man picked up the document and shook it, and his voice was angry mixed with scolding: "Two and four hundred million!" An investment of 240 million yuan, top IP plus two top online dramas created by first-line actors! So much investment! So many resources! ”

The document was slammed back on the table: "Now you actually tell me that after the launch, the traffic does not rise but falls?" Profits do not rise but fall? Attention does not rise but falls? What do you tell me to explain? How to explain? ”

"This ......" was silent for a while, and one of the four spoke a little fatly: "Mr. Wei, we can't actually blame us for this, and there is no way to do it." ”

After a pause, he explained in detail: "Our two "Break into the Harem with a Tank" and "The Domineering President's Heel Fight" are actually of excellent quality, both the special effects and the actors' acting skills are remarkable, and the online word-of-mouth is also one-sided praise, and the score on Douban sauce is more than 7 points, which can be regarded as the top in online dramas in recent years, and there is no problem with the publicity strategy......

He was bitter: "Actually, it's still to blame that Red Star brand dream helmet, since their second virtual reality game was launched, now there are many players who originally watched dramas and played games and now go to bed very early, plus now the helmet sales have exceeded two million, which is bound to have an impact on our traditional Internet industry, the traffic of major websites has declined, and the decline in profitability is inevitable, like we have only dropped by about 8%, which is already calculated......"

"That's it?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened: "Could it be that I went to tell the board of directors that I blamed that good dream helmet, so we lost 240 million?" Do you think they'll accept it? ”

"It can't be helped." One of the four people was younger, and said: "It's not just us, other video websites have also suffered a lot of losses, and even the entire Internet industry has begun to slump as a whole." ”

"yes." Another person also helped: "Haven't we also taken that helmet apart and seen it?" What kind of virtual reality is completely black technology, and there is a national force behind it, which is not something we can fight against at all. At least in a few video platforms, our losses are relatively small, and we can give the board of directors a comparison chart, I believe they will understand. ”

"Actually, I don't think it's the way to go." One of the four people with gray hair spoke: "Now that good dream helmet has laid the first phase of the network, you can download new games, although those are just stand-alone virtual reality games for the time being, but the attraction is also obvious to everyone, a single "Gluttonous Pavilion" is very lethal." And it's not sure when other games will be launched, or even the second and third phases of the network...... What if I can connect to the existing Internet at that time? ”

"You know, there is also a TV in this virtual reality room, there is a computer room, and there are computers for sale, in case it is connected, you can watch TV in the virtual reality world, so how many people do you think will be on our inferior network in reality?"

"This doesn't conflict, does it?" Someone expressed puzzlement: "Even if you are connected to the Internet, then players can use the computer in the virtual reality world, we are not cool." ”

"Heh......" The gray-haired middle-aged man chuckled: "Who told you that the computer in this virtual reality is the same as in reality?" Will you be able to watch videos on our bad cool? ”

He continued: "I don't know if you have ever gone into the computer room of their virtual world, the computers in it are different from the real ones, similar to the system of fruits, they all download software through the app store, but for the time being, there are only two computer games produced by themselves." What if they still don't provide a web browser, only a variety of applications for everyone to download? ”

"So what else can I do?" Some people still expressed puzzlement: "No matter what, they don't have the ability to create so much video content by themselves, they have to cooperate with our video platforms, it's nothing more than the same as today's smartphones, and we have a virtual reality supporting APP, wouldn't it be ......"

"Wait!" Mr. Wei behind the desk stretched out his hand and interrupted him: "I understand!" You mean, they might work with video sites, but not necessarily with us, right? Or, they are relying on the state behind them, maybe they can watch TV directly in cooperation with the National Radio and Television Administration? There are no rules that you have to come to us, huh? Besides, do they work with any internet companies now? Have you reached out to us? Not even a little wind! ”

"yes, that's what I meant!" The gray-haired middle-aged man said: "Once they cooperate with the National Radio and Television Administration, they can provide video services, even if they are just ordinary major TV stations, it will inevitably hit our video websites seriously!" It's not an exaggeration to say it's a killer blow! ”

"And what do you mean?" Mr. Wei's voice was rarely serious.

"Only cooperation, even if you give up most of the profits, you have to cooperate with them!" The middle-aged man with a white beard was categorical: "Once the cooperation is reached, even if there is a loss on the statement, the board of directors will be very satisfied and the shareholders will be very satisfied in the face of the unlimited prospects." ”

Mr. Wei was persuaded and decisively gave an order: "Then that's it, Lao Yang, you go to Pengcheng, and the matter of discussing cooperation will be completely entrusted to you!" As long as cooperation can be reached, all conditions are negotiable! Even if you pay all the advertising revenue, you don't hesitate to do it! ”

Video websites are such things, they can't even eat just by recharging members, and various advertising revenues are the bulk of their profits, which shows that Mr. Wei is very determined.

The gray-haired old Yang over there nodded: "Okay, I'll book a plane ticket and go to Pengcheng tomorrow." ”

……

In the president's office of Tianang Company, Lao Tang is also making a report: "The preparation of the third batch of 175 stores has been largely completed, and it is expected to officially start business during the eleventh day." At present, the store planning has been basically laid to the whole territory of China. At that time, the reception pressure of existing specialty stores will be greatly reduced. The fourth batch of stores is also in the process of intensive screening and preparation, and it is expected to be officially launched in March and April after the end of next year......"

"Due to the opening of the second batch of specialty stores, as well as the launch of the second virtual reality game "Gluttonous Pavilion", the sales of our Red Star brand good dream helmet ushered in an explosion, and about 340,000 high-end helmets have been sold, about 2.12 million ordinary helmets, according to the current trend, it is expected to exceed 3.5 million ...... by the end of the year."

"The design of the company's headquarters building has been basically determined, and the winning bid is the Huaguo National Institute of Architecture, and the construction project will officially begin after next year, which will be accepted by the Huaxia Construction Bureau, and the construction period is expected to be three years......"

"In addition, now we are trying to contact us and want to reach cooperation with more and more major investment companies, Internet companies, especially several video platforms are the most eager, such as Penguin Video, Inferior Cool, and Strange Three, which are more annoying to come to the door every day. Of course, that's all they say, they are willing to give up their profits, they are only willing to cooperate, and they want to complement our virtual reality world......"

"And how do you reply to them?" Leon asked.

"'We're just a sleep aid, we don't have anything to do with the virtual reality world, I don't know what to work with.'" Excuses like that. Old Tang shrugged: "But I don't think what they said is wrong, our two virtual reality games are still too monotonous, "One Man's Island" aside, if "Gluttonous Pavilion" can provide a video function, so that players can enjoy food while watching videos, the attraction of everyone will inevitably increase!" Of course, I also know that now is not the time, after all, the connection between virtual reality and physical networking is too big......"

Li Ang nodded: "Well, I understand, you go down first." ”

Old Tang retreated, and Li Ang fell into deep thought again.

As a boss who has always been idle, Li Ang naturally has a lot of time to check the game feelings and exchange experiences on the Internet.

Among them, he has seen many opinions such as "Gluttonous Pavilion" is good, but if you just eat, you are a little bored.

No game in the world is perfect, and even a cool game like "Gluttonous Pavilion" will inevitably be monotonous and boring before the Internet.

It's like eating in a small restaurant outside, and there are not a few people who are still holding a mobile phone while eating.

Being connected is a big deal. Naturally, Leon can ignore the virtual reality world and the existing Internet links to provide a variety of Internet content.

However, this will also deal a huge blow to the existing Internet industry in an instant, and I don't know how many Internet companies will go bankrupt, how many employees will be laid off, and how many program apes will live on the streets......

Therefore, at least for a few years, Leon does not plan to turn on the "networking" function, and still focuses on making single-player games.

Even if it is opened up in the future, it will be opened to a limited extent as much as possible to reduce the impact on reality.

As for the problem that players said that "Gluttonous Pavilion" is boring, he only has two ways for the time being.

One is to release new games, and the other is to update old games.

After thinking about it, Leon decided to update the old game to make "Gluttonous Pavilion" more fun.
