Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 394 Brilliant Game Is Expanding

The prime year does not come again, it is difficult to come back to the morning every day, it is timely to encourage yourself, time waits for no one. ——Tao Qian

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the bare poplar trees were flourishing again, and the disturbing catkins were gone forever; the girls on the street began to show their long legs and small waists again .

In May, Guan Weidong's many trips to South Korea and island countries have begun to bear fruit.In addition to successfully winning the Korean game company Smilegate, Guan Weidong also acquired three other small and medium-sized Korean game companies at the same time.

The main income of Brilliant Games now comes from the online game "Honor of Kings", while the revenue growth of other web games is sluggish.Games such as "Happy Farm", "Parking Space", and "Angry Birds" have even experienced a decline in revenue. Although the downward trend is not obvious after continuous upgrades, the revenue of web games is far lower than that of online games.Even Plants vs. Zombies and Fishing Games, which performed better, saw very limited revenue growth.

But now with Smile gate, there is "Cross Fire".After the acquisition, Jiang Hui injected capital and increased the development of the game. The number of employees of Smilegate, which originally had only about 50 people, quickly increased to more than 100 people.Jiang Hui's goal is to increase the number of employees to more than 20 within this year, at least [-] of whom will be sent abroad from Brilliant Games.In this way, "Cross Fire" has the opportunity to complete the development by the end of this year or the first half of next year, adding another cash cow to Guanghui Group.

While Brilliant Games is expanding its scale through acquisitions, the research and development of its second self-developed online game "Glorious Speed" has also started.

……

Victory Games.

"Have you noticed? Brilliant Games has recently acquired several game companies in South Korea."

"They are all small and unknown companies, so it shouldn't be a cause for concern."

"Although these companies are not doing well, we still need to pay attention to Brilliance Games' move to enter the online game industry."

"I think Brilliant Games is taking itself too seriously, thinking that if it happens to launch a popular "Honor of Kings", it will be invincible in the world."

"Now everyone sees that online games are highly profitable, and they all want to make some money. I heard that even coal bosses are investing in online games."

"Let them help expand the market, and then our company will occupy it."

……

ninth city.

"There are gossip that Brilliant Games is developing a new online game."

"It's normal, which game company doesn't develop new products."

"But apart from "Glory of the King", other products of Brilliance Games are web games. Now it seems that they are determined to develop into the online game industry."

"Last year, Shengda Network and our company went public one after another, which probably stimulated many people. Recently, the investment in online games is obviously much stronger than before."

"I estimate that the profit margin of online games will be pulled down in the future. With so many companies flocking to it, who knows if there will be any companies that will mess around."

"The market is very chaotic now. I estimate that after a few years of war, there will not be too many companies that will stay and do well."

……

Penguin game.

"Recently Brilliant Games has acquired a Korean game company and is developing new games. Mr. Jiang's vision has always been very strong. It seems that our game development speed will be accelerated."

"That's right, any field that Mr. Jiang values ​​is bound to be able to make a lot of money or have the opportunity to make a lot of money in the future."

"You're still a fan of the river."

"Hey, if Mr. Jiang is willing to give me advice, what's wrong with me being a fan of Jiang."

"But having said that, in the past two years, Mr. Jiang really seems to be on the hook. Not to mention the establishment of more than a dozen companies, the key is that more than a dozen companies are very successful."

"Not only that, they not only founded their own company, but also took a stake in our company and Du Niang with sharp eyesight."

"Think about what I did when I was in college. There is no harm without comparison."

……

Although Brilliant Games is not the most famous in the Chinese online game industry, "Glory of the King" is too strong, and has attracted major online game companies to pay attention to every move of Brilliant Games, and some companies even arrange personnel to watch Brilliant The official Weibo of the game, to understand the dynamics of the brilliant game in real time.

A monthly profit of one billion. Although Brilliant Games has not announced the specific revenue of "Glory of the King" to the outside world, from the sales of those items and the popularity of the game, various companies can roughly calculate the revenue of "Honor of Kings". income.That number is absolutely enviable and jealous, wishing that the money was earned by his company.

The financial report shows that in the fourth quarter of 2004, Shengda Network had a revenue of US$5470 million and a net profit of US$2800 million; in 2004, its revenue was US$1.625 million and its net profit was US$7360 million.Even with the rapid growth in the first quarter of 2005, the revenue was only about 6000 million, and the net profit was less than 3000 million.

The ninth city is even lower. The net revenue in the fourth quarter of last year was about 100 million US dollars, an increase of 0.6% from the previous quarter.Throughout 2004, The Ninth City's net revenue was about 420 million US dollars, although it increased by 2003% compared with 111.9, but the total is still relatively low.

As far as the company's profit is concerned, Brilliant Games is already No. 1 in China, but it has not been announced to the public.

Of course, the high profit of Brilliant Games is also relative. Compared with the later generations when Penguin earned [-] million or [-] million a day, the room for growth of Brilliant Games is still very huge.

"I'm talking about Jiang Hui, you really use Guanghui Games as a cash machine now, and you come to withdraw money to other companies every month," Bai Xue said angrily.

"Haha, it's not that my daughter-in-law earns a lot of money, I'll help spend it," Jiang Hui said with a smile.

"Hmph, I'll punish you to cook by yourself tonight," Bai Xue said.

"No problem," Jiang Hui said.

Speaking of which, although the two of them often stayed in the house in the Bauhinia Garden, Jiang Hui didn't cook much. Most of the time, he either had entertainment or ate out.

"Glory Games has now shifted its focus to online games. Are we not developing new products for web games?" Bai Xue asked.

"It's not that we don't develop new products. It's just that the company's manpower is limited now. It's already too much to maintain the current web games and develop some replacement products. If the engineers below have good ideas, we will consider mobilizing manpower. Play web games," Jiang Hui said.

"That's fine. Anyway, the company's main source of profit now is online games. It's not wrong to increase investment in this area," Bai Xue said.

"It's going to be hard for you this year. Developing and operating three online games at the same time, there are probably a lot of things to coordinate," Jiang Hui said.

"It's okay, I think this is a very fulfilling life," Bai Xue said.
