Chapter 452 Game IM (First Update)
The next day, Ma Huateng returned to Shenzhen with excitement and desire to serve as the president of Tencent Games.

"Oh my God, Tencent established a game division!!"

The news spread like wildfire and caused a sensation on the Chinese Internet.

Before that, because Flamingo was Li Zetian's industry, Tencent never entered the game market. Shanda, Ninetowns, NetEase, and Giant Network didn't pay much attention to Tencent.But now, they have to pay attention to Tencent and regard it as the enemy.

Tencent's development in China is even better than in Europe and the United States.European and American netizens have a lot of social software, such as America Online ICQ, Microsoft MSN, etc., and the competition is fierce.In addition, overseas mail is still the mainstream, and Americans like to send text messages and make phone calls directly, so the demand for instant messaging (IM) software is not as strong as that of Chinese people.It is not difficult to understand why there was no company like Tencent outside of China in the previous life.

At this time, Tencent QQ has almost formed a monopoly in China, with nearly [-] million Chinese registered users.Although there are many accounts registered repeatedly, it is enough to prove that there are many Tencent QQ users.With a little guidance, these users can be converted into game users, which is why other game makers are afraid.

As China's largest domestic game company - Shanda Group will face enormous pressure.

Chen Tianqiao received a call from Sun Zhengyi, and the two talked for more than half an hour about Tencent's involvement in the Chinese game industry.

Masayoshi Son said in a heavy tone: "When Tencent came, the Chinese game market became even more complicated. Shanda Group had to face the double siege of Flamingo and Tencent! The scary thing is that Tencent has a huge number of users. It is extremely detrimental to the Shanda Group!"

Chen Tianqiao frowned and said: "Yes, Mr. Sun, Tencent has a great advantage relying on its huge number of users. Unless Tencent QQ is defeated, we will not be able to completely defeat Tencent..."

Sun Zhengyi couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. Tencent QQ is so easy to defeat. Tencent QQ has built a very strong social relationship chain in China and even the world. Breaking this relationship chain is as difficult as heaven.

Sun Zhengyi asked casually: "Mr. Chen, if you want to tell me, how can we defeat Tencent?"

Chen Tianqiao frowned even deeper, thinking, if I knew how to beat Tencent, would I still need to worry?

After all, the person on the other side of the phone is a rich man and cannot be offended.

Chen Tianqiao analyzed it and said: "I think Shanda Group can actually develop instant messaging software. Our "Legend" is very popular and has a huge number of players, so we can develop a game IM specially used for player communication... …In real life, people have to communicate and communicate with all kinds of people every day, which is more obvious in online games, and the demand for interactivity is the strongest!!!”

The more Chen Tianqiao talked, the more excited he was. As he thought, since Tencent can convert QQ users into game users, then Shanda Group can also convert game users into IM (instant messaging) users.

Game IM? ? ?

When Sun Zhengyi heard this, his eyes lit up, ouch, yes, this idea!
In fact, Sun Zhengyi has always been very jealous of Tencent's market position in China... Tencent has so many users that it can almost run rampant on the Chinese Internet. No matter what software it develops, it has a huge user traffic to support it.

At this time, Chen Tianqiao was so excited that he couldn't stop at all, and his thoughts flowed like springs, and he continued: "Online games build a virtual small society, and all actions of players in the game are naturally inseparable from communication and communication. When players are in the When they encounter problems in the game, act together with the guild groups in the game, and need to engage in commercial transactions and other virtual economic activities, they must rely on the network communication system. Throughout the history of the development of online games, the communication between players is nothing more than There are almost two forms - within the online game, through the public chat channel provided by the game, the guild dedicated channel, the private chat window between players, note transmission, etc.; while outside the online game, through instant messaging IM tools to communicate."

When he said this, Chen Tianqiao paused, and then continued with a sense of coldness and murderous intent: "The player used the IM tool QQ before, but from now on, all Shanda Group game players will no longer Use Tencent qq, but Shanda IM. We should replace it!!!”

Sun Zhengyi was also ignored by Chen Tianqiao, nodded repeatedly and said: "Well, this idea is good, you can try it, if it succeeds, this will undoubtedly be a major turning point for Shanda Group, opening a new and brilliant future for the company Chapter!!"

Immediately, Sun Zhengyi and Chen Tianqiao chatted excitedly about the development of IM software.

Chen Tianqiao also chose a simple and straightforward name for the IM software to be developed by Shanda Group - Shanda IM.

After finishing the call, Chen Tianqiao was full of ambition and ready to do a big job.Immediately ordered the secretary to inform the company's top management to come to the conference room for a meeting, and then announced the Shanda IM development plan at the meeting, and told everyone that the Shanda IM plan had received the full support of Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son.

When everyone heard it, their blood boiled with excitement.

……

At this moment, Ma Huateng is working hard to develop Tencent Games.

On the one hand, Tencent has set up its own game development team to independently develop game software and create a "Tencent Game" platform.On the other hand, Tencent represents the games of other game manufacturers.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it will take some time for independent research and development, so acting as an agent for other companies' games is the first step for Tencent's rapid rise.

PS: Today is five more.
