Rebirth, I really don't want to be a warm man

Chapter 213 Influence and First Overseas Agency

Li Zhe has only played "Shen Xian Dao" and "Divine Comedy" for a few times. After so many years, I can't remember the specific content, so the planning book only wrote a general idea.

Zhao Jia and Yu Zhongfeng had no objection after reading the proposal.

After such a long time, the two of them are very convinced of Li Zhe, not to mention that the ideas of these three games are indeed quite unique and novel.

"Mr. Li, if three games are produced at the same time, the R&D department must not have enough manpower." Yu Zhongfeng said.

"If you don't have enough, recruit!" Li Zhe said without hesitation.

"Now that we don't lack funds, try to recruit as many people as possible in your R&D department. It would be better to let more people idle than to have fewer people."

Yu Zhongfeng nodded to express his understanding.

Then he said: "Mr. Li, Hongcheng is still too backward. It is difficult to recruit suitable developers, and even less skilled."

"For the better development of the company, I suggest moving the company back to the Shanghai stock market as soon as possible."

Zhao Jia glanced at Yu Zhongfeng and said, "Mr. Li, I think Manager Yu is right. The company's development in Hongcheng is too limited. I also suggest moving the company to the Shanghai stock market as soon as possible."

Hongcheng is indeed a relatively backward place, and the Internet industry is almost zero. Now the only one that can make a move is a chess and card game company.

At present, Funwan Technology can be regarded as the first powerful Internet company in Hongcheng.

After listening to the two of them, Li Zhe thought for a while and said, "It's really not suitable for the company to stay in Hongcheng anymore. How about this, Manager Yu, you leave a few game maintenance personnel behind, and then lead the R&D department to move back to Shanghai." City, expand local manpower to develop new games. Other company personnel will gradually move there in batches before the second game goes online.”

At first Li Zhe set up the company in Hongcheng mainly for the convenience of management, after all he went to school here.

But now that the company is up and running and has a strong position, even if Li Zhe doesn't go to class, the school doesn't care about him anymore, and he is still a well-known alumni after graduation.

He can fly back and forth between Hongcheng and Shanghai.

When Yu Zhongfeng heard that, Li Zhe agreed to let the company relocate, and his face suddenly showed joy, "Okay, I understand, Mr. Li."

"Manager Yu, can your R&D department produce the game "Tower Defense Three Kingdoms" in two months?" Li Zhe asked Yu Zhongfeng again.

"Tower Defense Three Kingdoms" is actually a stand-alone game that can draw cards and swipe pictures online with other players. The difficulty of making it is the easiest among web games.

Yu Zhongfeng thought for a while and said: "This game is not difficult. It doesn't take two months. If there are enough people, it can be made in about a month."

"Okay, then the R&D department will give priority to making this game and get the game online as soon as possible." Li Zhe nodded.

After talking to Yu Zhongfeng, Li Zhe said to Zhao Jia: "Senior sister, your marketing department will have a heavy task next. Next, we will conduct a comprehensive publicity and promotion of "Dandantang" both online and offline."

The online and offline promotion plan that Li Zhe mentioned, online is to promote the game online on game evaluation websites, forums, post bars, novels, video websites, social platforms, portal websites, etc.

And offline, posters and leaflets are posted in colleges and universities and Internet cafes in major cities across the country for publicity.

After listening to Li Zhe finish the publicity and promotion plan, Zhao Jia said: "Mr. Li, such a large-scale online and offline publicity and promotion will require a lot of expenses."

"The company first spends 500 million publicity expenses, 300 million online, and 200 million offline, and then add it according to the situation." Li Zhe made a decision.

If you want to make the game popular, you can't be willing to invest in publicity.

The highest monthly turnover of "Playing Blue Moon" is 5 million, and the cumulative turnover is 40 billion, relying on the bombing and brainwashing propaganda of the entire network.

"Hello everyone, I'm Zha Zhahui..." It is estimated that anyone who is on the Internet has never heard of this sentence!
To be honest, Li Zhe was really tempted to make a legendary nostalgic web game similar to "Playing Blue Moon".

The cumulative turnover is 40 billion!

Even after deducting the sub-accounts, tax deductions, and a lot of publicity costs, you can still get seven or eight hundred million.

But when he thinks that he will be pointed out by others in the future, this is the boss who made money from the trash game, Li Zhe can't help but keep some integrity.

After the meeting, Li Zhe drove Xiao Qiao out of the company.

He has to go back to school, because the crew is still waiting for him to film.

The next ten days are the busiest days for Li Zhe.

After "Dangdangtang" became popular, Funwan Technology has become a little famous in the industry, and it is also famous in Hongcheng, especially in the high-tech development zone.

So all kinds of interviews, invitations, and cooperation came one after another.

First, the major game operating platforms all came to Funwan Technology to discuss cooperation and negotiate the joint operation of "Dandongtang".

Li Zhe never refuses anyone who comes, and within a week, he has signed cooperation agreements with seven or eight game operators.

If you want to make "Dandantang" a popular game all over the Internet, you can't do it with Funwan Technology alone. Only by cooperating with major game operators can you occupy the market as soon as possible and expand the popularity and popularity of the game. Influence.

May I ask which popular page game does not have two or three thousand servers on the entire network?
Therefore, only cooperation can win-win.

In addition, there are five or six Internet media that interviewed Li Zhe, including game forums, portal websites, and so on.

There is also an invitation from Pengcheng for the domestic page game exchange meeting.

If it wasn't for the fact that the company was too busy to leave, Li Zhe really wanted to go to the exchange meeting to see and learn a lot.

However, it doesn't matter if I didn't make it this time. There will be many cooperation and exchange meetings in the industry in the future, and I won't be able to attend them all.

Knowing that the game was popular, Hongcheng quickly reacted.

After all, this is the first Internet company in Hongcheng.

First, a newspaper office came to interview, and then Hongcheng TV Station also came.

After the high-tech zone management committee knew that Funwan Technology was going to run away (relocate to the Shanghai stock market), it was even more anxious.

The Hongcheng High-tech (Technology Development) Zone has been established for more than ten years, but the development is not good. With the support of policies, after a group of enterprises have been relocated, there is no follow-up, and the development is basically at a standstill.

The economic scale of Hongcheng is small, the market information environment is relatively closed, the market is narrow, and it is difficult for high-tech enterprises to develop.

Just look at the environment near the high-tech zone. It is surrounded by wasteland, which is quite desolate.

So it is hard to build a high-tech enterprise, but it still has to run, how can this work?
The leader of the management committee talked with Li Zhe every day, persuading him to keep Funwan Technology in the development zone, and the development zone will definitely provide strong support.

At the beginning, Li Zhe always evaded and refused to agree, because just like what Zhao Jia and Yu Zhongfeng said, it is really difficult for Funwan Technology to develop in Hongcheng, and the development is too restricted. It is fatal to say that there is a serious shortage of talents.

But then he suddenly agreed and agreed to keep the branch in the development zone, including the game "Dandongtang".

Why did Li Zhe agree?

Because the management committee proposed that in addition to strong policy support, Funwan Technology will also be given 500 million yuan in support and development funds.

In addition, the bank also promised to lend 1000 million yuan to Funwan Technology.

Although the 500 million yuan has to be repaid, the interest is extremely low. To Li Zhe, it is really like using nothing.

In fact, Li Zhe didn't plan to move all the company out of Hongcheng, at least the branch would not be canceled until he graduated.

So talking about the conditions, you can get 500 million support funds, which is definitely a big profit.

The management committee is also very happy. What they value more is the popular game "Dandongtang". As long as the branch company and this game stay in the development zone, the influence brought by it and a large amount of tax payment are achievements. .

Accepting various interviews, discussing cooperation with game operators, communicating with the management committee, managing the company, and paying attention to the progress of "Dandantang", Li Zhe was so busy that he didn't have time to go to school.

By the way, he still has to write books and film movies.

To be honest, Li Zhe regretted playing the role in person.

He can't even be busy with company affairs, so how can he have time for filming?
But the whole crew was waiting for him, so Li Zhe had to find time to film.

After more than ten days, three more episodes of "Things About Online Dating" were filmed and posted on the Internet, and the number of hits on the first episode "Photo Deception" on Tudou. Never mind.

The skit has gone viral online.

In the video comment area, there are a lot of netizens urging updates, hoping that the short drama can be updated faster.

But the actors and staff of the crew are mainly students, and they usually have to go to class, so they only have time to film from Friday to Sunday, so shooting three to four episodes in two weeks is the limit. This 3-episode short drama is almost It will take [-] months to finish filming.

After the online drama became popular on the Internet, Tudou contacted Li Zhe, wanting to co-produce an online drama with them, and several companies wanted to place a pre-roll advertisement, and another company asked the crew to shoot an advertisement.

Li Zhe declined Tudou.com's invitation to film an online drama. He was so busy that he didn't have time to write scripts, so he was planning to shoot an online drama.

He asked the director Xing Baiqing to take over those few pre-roll ads. Although the money is not much, an ad is only tens of thousands of dollars, but it adds up to 10,000+.

Not only did I earn back the shooting cost, but I also made some profits.

As for the fact that a company was looking for a film crew to shoot an advertisement, it was actually a shampoo company that liked Sun Wanning's image and wanted to hire her to shoot an advertisement.

Li Zhe discussed this matter with director Xing Baiqing and Sun Wanning, but he still accepted it and asked the crew to suspend filming for a week to shoot the commercial first.

At first, Sun Wanning didn't want to accept the advertisement, but the other party offered too much money, and the asking price was 10 yuan.

Of course, the money does not belong to Sun Wanning, but to the entire crew, but she can get half of the 5 yuan as the heroine of the commercial, and the remaining 5 yuan, Xing Baiqing as the director gets 3 yuan, and the remaining 2 yuan Assigned to the crew.

The time has come in a blink of an eye, April 4st.

After more than ten days, the number of open servers of "Dandongtang" has reached 165.

In the first week of the game's launch, 10-15 groups of servers will be opened every day.

After a week, the server opening speed was slowed down, and 5 groups of servers were opened every day.

In addition, seven or eight other game platforms that cooperate with Funwan Technology have also opened more than 350 servers, making the number of servers in the entire network of "Dandongtang" exceed 500.

The number of users on the entire network has reached more than 500 million, and the monthly turnover of Funwan Technology is nearly 3000 million.

At noon on the 21st, Li Zhe just signed an agency authorization contract for "Dandongtang" with a game company from Vietnam called Vinagame, and then received a call from the class teacher Yu Yong, saying that the school's principal Zhang wanted to see him.

More than 10 days after "Dandongtang" was launched, a Vietnamese game agency suddenly came to Li Zhe to discuss cooperation.

The boss of this company called Vinagame came to Funwan with a translator, and the first thing he asked was, "Is this "Dandantang"?" instead of Funwan Technology.

Li Zhe was extremely surprised that a Vietnamese game company suddenly came and said that he wanted to act as an agent for "Dandongtang".

How long has the reputation of "Dandongtang" spread abroad?Besides, are there any well-known game companies in Vietnam?
So he asked people in the industry to find out, and only then did he know that this Vinagame company is really strong.

The status of this company in Vietnam is equivalent to "Zha Lang + Penguin + Shengda" - not only doing portals but also developing chat tools and operating online games.

The status of Funwan in China is completely incomparable with others. Although "Dandantang" became popular and made Funwan Technology famous in the industry, it is still only a small game company with some strength.

This Vinagame company has someone in China who is responsible for searching for new games on the Internet every day, and then submits them to the headquarters for screening, so the other party can notice "Dandongtang" so quickly.

The boss of Vinagame proposed to Li Zhe that he would buy out the agency rights of "Dandongtang" in Vietnam for 500 million yuan.

But Li Zhe didn't agree. He didn't know whether "Dandongtang" was sold in Vietnam in the previous life, and he didn't know whether the game became popular after it was launched, but he only knew that "one-shot deal" couldn't be done.

500 million is a lot less, and more is not much.

It's just a fun company, more than 10 days of income.

It's better not to spend the money, but to use the Vietnamese market to test the waters of "Dandantang" overseas. If it becomes popular, it will make a lot of money.

If it is not popular, it will lose more than 400 million yuan.

So Li Zhe proposed a copyright fee of 30 yuan + 25% of the share.

Seeing that Li Zhe firmly disagreed with the buyout, the boss of Vinagame could only agree to a share.

But he thought the share was too high, and he was only willing to give 18% of the share, but the copyright fee was increased to 100 million.

Li Zhe saw that the other party would rather increase the copyright fee than agree to give a high share, and immediately understood that the other party was very optimistic about "Dandantang", and he was even more unwilling to give in easily.

The two sides talked repeatedly for three or four days, and finally negotiated an agency condition of 80 copyright fees + 20% share.

This share is still a bit low, but the boss of Vinagame company is very shrewd, stuck at 20% share, he would rather cooperate and talk about collapse than increase it.

After thinking about it, Li Zhe agreed. After all, this is the first overseas agency authorization of "Dangdangtang".

After signing the game agency contract, Li Zhe invited Vinagame Company to a nice hotel for a meal.

He can be regarded as entertaining "foreign guests".

At the dinner table, I talked with the other party about the launch of "Dandongtang" in Vietnam.

The other party is also very urgent, saying that "Dandongtang" will be launched within a month, hoping to get technical support from Funwan.

Li Zhe said that he will definitely give the greatest technical support.

In terms of operations, he will definitely not hold back the other party.
After all, this is a sharing agency. The more popular "Dandongtang" operates in Vietnam, the more revenue Funwan will get.

After eating and seeing off the boss of Vinagame, Li Zhe drove back to school.
