Chapter 368 New Generation ([-])
Courtyard No. 29, Shangdi East Road, Haidian District, in the office of Zhiguan Electronics BJ Company......

Feng Huazhu sat at the desk in the general manager's office, slowly rubbing his temples on both sides. "Three Kingdoms on the Internet" has been online for several months. Compared with the initial predicament, the online data of the game is much better now, and it is also He earned some money. Although he couldn't compare with the online game boss "Legend" and the rising star "Stone Age", at least it was enough for him to pay off his previous debts.

Today, Feng Huazhu is in a good mood. In the morning, news came from the Taiwan headquarters that the secret development of "Jin Yong Heroes Online" is nearing completion, and it will be launched in Taiwan soon, and the mainland can also start to make some The pre-preparation, which means that he doesn't have to eat with the brand of "Three Kingdoms on the Internet" all the time.Feng Huazhu has done an analysis of the current online game market. Strictly speaking, the only martial arts online game that is currently being tested is "Millennium", and it is a so-called martial arts game imported from South Korea. He believes that as soon as "Jin Yong Heroes Online" comes out, at least In the martial arts online game, it will definitely be swept.

"Jin Yong... martial arts games... Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon... Lingbo Weibu..."

"At that time, hum~" Feng Huazhu smiled triumphantly, feeling as if a golden mountain was waving to him not far away.

……

"OK, see you later!" Zhou Chenghu closed the Motorola mobile phone in his hand, stuffed it into the mobile phone pocket next to the driver's seat, and then pressed the play button of the CD player. CoCo's sexy voice wafted in the BMW again.

"...

Lalalala love makes me dizzy
Lalalala miss makes people feel distressed
don't ask again
I'm sure you're mine

......"

Zhou Chenghu is in a very good mood, because he no longer needs to masturbate and lie on the bed to make money, but can actually make money while sleeping. Since the WGS system of Huayi International has been launched, the banknotes are really worthless. Like running water, rushing straight into his arms.Although the profit is not too much for the time being, at least it has not earned back all the initial investment, but it can be seen from the latest accounting statements that the company will be able to recover its capital in at most three or four months, and after that, basically It was a no-cost business, so happy, Mr. Zhou immediately bought a new BMW out of his own pocket to reward himself.

After changing to a new car and driving on the familiar Fourth Ring Road, Mr. Zhou immediately felt like flying, "It's true to drive a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz."The only regret is that the Fourth Ring Road has not been fully opened yet, and sometimes you have to turn to the side road below, which often interrupts Mr. Zhou's pleasure.

Today's weather is not too good. Originally, Mr. Zhou planned to stay in his gentle hometown and continue to enjoy the gentle and beautiful scenery, but Huang Bohong called and said that he wanted to discuss the next online game to be introduced. What is the European and American style online game called "The Great Master", this can't help but make him feel excited. After all, sleeping on two gold mines is much more interesting than lying on one gold mine. It's like playing StarCraft. Those who open sub-mines are always richer than those who come from single mines.Although Mr. Zhou is not short of money now, the more money the better, otherwise, where can he enjoy the gentleness like jade, and where can he experience the thrills.

Lightly stepping on the accelerator, Mr. Zhou's BMW speeded up a bit, and it was racing on the Fourth Ring Road in the cold wind...

On the 18th floor of Sanyuan Building, No. 15, Xibahedongli, Chaoyang District, Arctic Ice Technology Development Co., Ltd.…

"Just last night, the number of online users of our "Millennium" has exceeded 5000, and the number of registered users has exceeded 60..." Chen Hongzhan announced the good news to everyone in the conference room with pride. The product manager, but he is the product manager in charge of the "Millennium" project. According to the company's boss, he is in charge of the entire "Millennium" operation, and as long as "Millennium" operates well, there will naturally be many opportunities for promotion in the future.

Chen Hongzhan felt that his luck was really good. When he saw the advertisement of "Millennium" in the magazine, he just had a flash of inspiration. He was not sure whether he could get the agency right of the game. Maybe the company in Taiwan didn't know how big the mainland market was, or maybe the other company didn't even think about expanding abroad. Anyway, after a few rounds of negotiations, Arctic Ice won the "Millennium" in the mainland at a low price of 2000 yuan. The agency rights in the region, now it seems that this is simply a big bargain.

Before the online test of "Millennium", the boss of the company estimated that it would be pretty good to have 6000 to [-] people online. After all, compared with "Legend", the picture quality and game content of "Millennium" are much worse. The subject matter is so popular, so many players flooded in not long after the test, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the management of Arctic Ice, even Chen Hongzhan, who had high hopes for "Millennium", did not expect it.

"...As of this week, we have opened 7 sets of game servers... According to the current data and the current enthusiasm of the players, I believe that we will be able to successfully start charging after the test period is over!" Chen Hongzhan raised his hand. Waving his hands vigorously, he felt that the world was already under his control, and that future success had begun to wave to him.

7th Floor, Block B, Huixin Building, Asian Games Village, Chaoyang District, Tianren Interactive Office...

Zhong Shaoyu looked at his new site with satisfaction. Although the manpower was much smaller than when he was in Xintiandi, he was full of hope for the future of his new company.When he was in Xintiandi, Zhong Shaoyu was an agent of stand-alone games, so after the establishment of Tianren Interactive, his future plan is still to be a stand-alone game agent. Although there is a behemoth of Fengyun Interactive in China, he is still very confident in himself After all, over the years, he has also accumulated a lot of contacts and relationships in the circle, and it is still very easy to represent a few overseas games.

Although he intends to focus on stand-alone game agency as his main business, Zhong Shaoyu also did not ignore the very popular online games at the moment, but he is very cautious because he does not have much capital in his hands. He found out through friends that the operation of such large-scale online games requires more funds. Moreover, the requirements for the network environment are also very high, which makes him more cautious.

Today Zhong Shaoyu is going to receive a visitor from South Korea’s Samsung Technology. This is a thread drawn by a friend of his. This friend said that Samsung Technology has developed a good online game "Pengpeng i Era". According to the information from the early stage, this "Pengpeng i Era" is an online game rather than an online virtual community, just like the "Ninth City" community developed by a company in Shanghai, where you can fish and make ramen, and it is very easy to play.

"Well, if the agency fee is not high, you can consider it!" Sitting on the sofa closest to the office entrance, Zhong Shaoyu thought to himself.

Room 95, 6th Floor, Building D, No. 601, Zhongshan Avenue, Tianhe District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province...

Wu Xisang turned around and glanced at the empty office behind him, closed the door of the office, turned and walked out.Today is the last time for Wu Xisang to come here. He came to this place where he has put his hard work for several years. Starting tomorrow, he will move to a new place to work.

The operation of "Tianxia" developed by Tianxia Technology is quite successful. If the charging issue is not considered, the success of the game does not mean that Tianxia Technology is also successful. The lack of funds has caused Wu Xisang and several entrepreneurial partners a headache. Lay off staff to reduce the company's operating costs.

In order to raise money, or financing, Wu Xisang and several partners split up to find a way out. They went north to Lianzhong, **, and Netease was nearby. Unfortunately, Lianzhong and ** didn’t like "The World" at all, and Netease proposed it immediately. A 100% acquisition means that Tianxia Technology has nothing to do with Wu Xisang from now on, which made it difficult for him to accept for a while.

Originally things continued to develop, and under the heavy pressure of funds, Wu Xisang couldn't hold on for long, but unexpectedly, things suddenly turned around, and a Guangzhou company named Tianyou Software came forward.At the beginning, Tianyou Software also proposed a 100% acquisition condition, but it was quickly changed to the form of investment cooperation. Simply put, Tianyou Software provides game development funds, and Tianxia Technology only needs to develop games according to quality requirements. As for the follow-up Wu Xisang does not need to worry about the distribution and operation of "The World", and Wu Xisang can decide on his own whether to operate "The World".

For Tianxia Technology, which is short of money, these conditions are tantamount to a pie from the sky, and Tianxia Technology still belongs to itself, which makes Wu Xisang and his entrepreneurial partners very gratified, so the signing of the contract has become a matter of course.The first game development task issued by Tianyou Software is a Q-version turn-based online game. It is based on Journey to the West. The name is obtained from a movie of the same name by a Hong Kong comedian. , Tianyou Software also specially borrowed several offices for Tianxia Technology to use.

When he first started working on "The World", Wu Xisang was very confident in the technical strength of his team. Although it was not the best in China, it was at least first-class in the online game industry.However, after participating in an internal training class of Tianyou Software and listening to a senior game instructor from BJ, Wu Xisang realized how far his team was from the top domestic level. Looking back on the past, he felt that he was blind at the beginning. Confidence is a bit of a spectator.

The sixth floor of Tianrui Building, No. 31 Shuangliu Road, Changning District, Shanghai, the office area of ​​the ninth city...

Zhu Jun and MorningSite investor Cheng Shuangmu sat at the desk facing each other. Between them was the latest company balance sheet and related financial statements. Judging from the above data, the company's situation is still not very good.

Cheng Shuangmu was very anxious. If there was regret medicine in the world, he would not have invested 410 million US dollars in the ninth city last year on impulse. Who would have thought that the Internet bubble would burst as soon as the money was released, and then the entire Internet industry would be destroyed. In the cold winter, the planned launch of the packaging has become far away.

For MorningSite, the $410 million is just a drop in the bucket, but for Cheng Shuangmu, it is terrible. Last year he invested in a total of five projects, and the other four lost all. Now the only hope is the ninth city. If he loses money, maybe he can only sit in the office and do data analysis in the future, and there is no hope of coming out to invest.

Jun Zhu was also very anxious. Last year, he bluffed $310 million to MorningSite. It was originally planned to go public for a period of time to collect money, but unexpectedly encountered the cold winter of the Internet.In order to keep the hope alive, Zhu Jun first changed the company's name from GameNow to the cooler Ninth City, and then began to adjust the company's size, reorganize the business, and even started the system integration and other online activities that he did not hesitate to pay attention to before. After business, the financial situation of Ninth City still hasn't improved much.Sometimes Zhu Jun even had the idea of ​​shutting down the Ninth City, so as not to worry about it every day like now, and try his best to think of tricks.

Cheng Shuangmu handed over a newspaper in his hand, pointed to an article introducing "Legend" on one of the pages, and said, "Online games seem to be very popular now, why don't we develop online games!"

"Hmm..." Zhu Jun took the newspaper and looked at it, then picked up the calculator beside him and calculated for a while, then nodded: "It seems to be quite profitable, let's try it!"
