Crossover: 2014

Chapter 370 The Game Studio

To be honest, even past lives are affected by various circumstances.

The online office penetration rate of domestic enterprises is not too high.

In contrast to overseas, in 2017 in the previous life, more than 3000% of the companies in Ugly Country introduced the remote office system, and [-] million people worked remotely at home.

Although 3000 million people does not sound like a lot.

But you must know that there are not too many people in the ugly country.

If there are 3000 million people, this has almost accounted for 16%-19% of the working population in the U.S.

This ratio is undoubtedly quite exaggerated.

It can even be said that almost one out of every five people in Ugland has to use online office for work.

Ugly. The reason why the online office penetration rate in China is so high.
Lin Hui thinks that it is mainly due to the following reasons:
First of all, the overseas Internet penetration rate is high, and technology is highly intensive.

In terms of the number of Internet users, there is almost nothing comparable to my country.

(Even if you are more confident, you can remove the "almost".

Although the official data on the number of netizens in the Ganges Kingdom is quite large, Lin Hui feels that there is a lot of moisture.

Or it could be pure prejudice. )
But in terms of popularity and influence, Ugly Country is still ahead of my country.

According to the data of the previous world in 2018, the Internet penetration rate in Ugly country is about 89%, while that in my country is 59.6%.

In Ugly China, smartphone users accounted for 70% of the total population, while the usage rate of smartphones in China was less than 51% at that time.

It's not 2018 yet, it's 2014.

In 2014, the gap is probably even worse.

In addition to the factors of high penetration rate, the reason why Lin. Hui. thinks that online office has more business prospects in the Ugly Country has the following reasons

Ugly. State-owned Silicon Valley, the most famous in the world, has given birth to countless well-known technology and Internet companies.

Ugly countries have many global companies.

Such as Google/Google, Apple, Facebook/Book, Microsoft/Soft, etc.

In 2018, 500 of the world's top 126 companies were state-owned.

2018-2019 Derwent Top 33 Global Innovation Institutions, [-] state-owned.

Among the top 2018 global technology brands in 100, there are 55 state-owned and 18 Chinese.

The top five are also ugly Chinese brands, namely Amazon, Apple, Google/Google, Facebook/Book, and Microsoft/Software.

The more global companies and Internet high-tech companies, the more popular online office will also have an important impact.

Furthermore, it is because of other reasons such as labor costs.

Although the ugly country has a land area comparable to that of my country, its population is only about 1/4 of that of China.

However, various potential factors play a role and have an impact on the popularity of online office.

Compared with the situation faced by our country, Ugly Country has a high labor cost, and with the fierce competition for talents, real estate prices have risen.

Against this background, many Internet companies in Ugland have begun to set up branches in other parts of Ugland and even around the world to carry out online office models.

In short, various factors make Lin Hui feel that overseas is more suitable for the commercialization of online office in the short term.

If you take a longer view, because the online office model is a good choice for companies to deal with the current situation of soaring housing prices, high talent costs, and traffic congestion.

Therefore, it is not only the commercialization of online office in overseas regions, but the direction of online office in the domestic market is also very promising in the near future, even if there will be no ** in the future.

Even so, Lin Hui didn't pay much attention to things that lasted longer.

Even if Lin Hui has some "prophetic" information, who can predict more long-term things?
Just like the ** in the previous life, except for some biological/biological/laboratories, I am afraid that no one can predict it.

Even if some people expected it at the beginning, few people thought that there would be many collateral effects involving sex.

As far as investment is concerned, investing 19 years ago was almost blindly optimistic.

It is almost overnight from blind optimism in investment to negative pessimism under the influence of special events.

Lin Hui. I remember that under the influence of the epidemic, a certain Shanshan Capital even released a report on "Adaptation and Patience".

This report contains the following passage:

"A downturn in the market will have an impact on consumer behavior, labor markets, supply chains and more.

This crisis will be a longer cycle, although the duration cannot be predicted, but it is still necessary to be prepared.

Companies that burn unlimited cash to grow will quickly dry up.Investors are beginning to pay more attention to the short-term certainty of enterprises, and are increasingly unwilling to pay for long-term growth expectations. "

Similarly, the founder of Chrysanthemum Factory published in his previous life:
"The next ten years should be a very painful historical period, and the global economy will continue to decline...It is impossible to get better in the next 3 to 5 years. Coupled with the impact of the epidemic, there should be no bright spot in the world. Then the consumption capacity will have The sharp decline will not only put pressure on supply, but also pressure on the market."

Capital is a giant hand invisible behind the market.

At the same time, it can also be said to be one of the important driving forces behind the changes in many things.

Affected by investment concepts, many industries are also undergoing major changes.

**Affect investors' investment strategy and investment direction, thus indirectly affecting the market.

A series of debuffs have also been produced for many industries that were originally out of reach.

It can be said that the influence of ** is huge.

Speaking of which, the influence of the past life ** is quite large.

But if Lin Hui wants to find a way to avoid it, Lin Hui probably doesn't have that much ability.

Of course, there may be other solutions to this matter in the future.

Sometimes it seems that we can only take one step at a time.

Lin Hui. I wouldn't say I'm completely desperate, but I hope there will be a way for the car to reach the mountain.

There are priorities, and now Lin Hui is facing matters related to online office.

Lin Hui had already made a rough judgment on the online office.

Therefore, Lin Hui naturally knew Huang Jing's inquiry about online office.

However, even though Lin Hui. was quite clear about the items related to online office in Lin Hui's mind, Lin Hui did not talk about it boldly.

Although Lin Hui thinks he is still in the initial stage of entrepreneurship.

However, with the capital and information capital in his hands, Lin Hui's status is obviously more detached compared to his peers.

At least for Lin Hui. He doesn't need to be too responsible for trivial and detailed content.

What Lin Hui has to do is to grasp the direction.

Of course, to do this, you have to have capable go-getters.

Although Lin Hui's subordinates are still lack of talents.

However, Lin Hui. believes that Huang Jing can handle such a small project as online office.

Sure enough, Lin Hui only explained a few words briefly.

Huang Jing already understood Lin Hui's thoughts.

After talking about things related to online office software in a few sentences.

Just when the two were about to hang up the phone.

Huang Jing seemed to think of something suddenly, and asked, "By the way, Lin Hui. Are you interested in acquiring a game studio?"

The suggestion in Huang Jing's words was somewhat beyond Lin Hui's expectations.

Why did you suddenly talk about acquiring a game studio?

In the previous chats, Huang Jing was undoubtedly optimistic about Lin Hui's rise directly relying on technology.

Why are you starting to suggest mergers and expansions to Lin Hui now?
Could it be Lin Hui. Huang Jing's previous actions on office software were interpreted as not completely rejecting imported technology.

But there is one thing to say, the current Lin Hui is not short of money even if he takes the path of merger and expansion.

As for the acquisition of the studio?
Acquiring studios is nothing new in the gaming industry.

Because the composition of the game production team is always quite complicated, if you want to make a good game, you always need to absorb outstanding talents in various fields.

Lin Hui. I remember that in the previous life, Goose Factory merged various other game companies and game studios on the road of game expansion.

Although there is a certain truth in merging studios, there are also certain reasons.

But isn’t it good to set up your own studio?

Especially starting a game studio is not a complicated thing.

The threshold is not high.

Even many power leveling studios are euphemistically called game studios.

Moreover, many game studio industries come from across borders.

There is no way, who makes the game industry attract money, and it is not surprising that it is easy to attract many passers-by.

Lin Hui. I remember that at the time of his rebirth, Xiao/Bing, who couldn’t even compete with games, wanted to set up a game studio and prepare to step into the game industry to get a share of the pie.

As for Lin Hui. If he wants to set up a game studio, it's not too difficult.

Lin Hui. Was dragged by his teacher to set up a studio when he was in college.

Although that experience was basically a "guinea pig" for Lin Hui.

But at least I am not very unfamiliar with the concept and concept of the studio's operation.

What's more, Lin Hui's current status is different from his previous life.

The name Lin. Gray. Gray Forest is still very appealing in the field of game design.

Even with Lin Hui's current appeal, the establishment of a studio does not require Lin Hui to do it himself.

As long as Lin Hui reveals his intention to set up a studio.

Immediately will receive olive branches from major game companies and Internet giants who are interested in deepening the game field.

In this case, why did Lin Hui buy a game studio?
Is it because of the rapid growth of wealth that people are considered stupid?
Having said that, Lin Hui felt that Huang Jing should not give Lin Hui some unreliable suggestions.

Lin Hui asked, "What game studio did you buy?"

Huang Jing said: "If you really plan to acquire a game studio, there are currently several options.

In China, you can consider Guang'an Studio, Shadow Studio, Luo Yu Studio...

Guang'an Studio is a game studio of Jinwu. There are currently 7 people in the team. The representative work is "Guang'an". At present, the studio is good at plot design of the game;
Shadow Studio is a game studio in Hangzhou, currently has a team of 19 people, and its representative work is "Code X09". At present, the studio is better at art production of games;

And Luo Yu Studio is a game studio in Yangcheng, the current team..."

Judging from Huang Jing's description, Huang Jing is not aimless.

Huang Jing introduced these studios in detail.

It can be seen that Huang Jing has done a lot of work.

Having said that, Huang Jing talked about a few domestic game studios, Lin Hui. She basically didn't have any impression.

At least in his previous life, Lin Hui had never heard of the names of these studios.

It doesn't seem like a well-known studio.

Lin Hui is not very interested in these studios.

Moreover, many game studios in China are simply not on the right track.

And the game studios that are on the right track seem to have nothing to do with the domestic game manufacturers on the surface.

In fact, it is hard to say, and it is very likely that they have been secretly recruited and turned into the shape of these big factories.

Technological innovations of major manufacturers are not necessarily so great.

But the method of "treating guests, beheading and accepting dogs" is quite skilled.

In this case, unless domestic game studios know the basics.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that Lin Hui will not make a merger or acquisition.

It's easy to overwhelm.
