Top of the Great Era

Weekly schedule is very full.

I'm already very busy. I have a lot of things to do when I return to China, and I have to rush to the United States to deal with some things. After returning to China, I have to hold Changyou's shareholders meeting to get this big event done.

Unexpectedly, a lot was added temporarily.

The disagreement over cloud computing has been resolved, and then Lao Zhang still has arrangements, and Shi Jinglin also has a new target here, who wants to buy Dongpeng Special Drink, and wants to take Zhou Buqi to the south together.

Not long after going to work this morning, Sun Guanran came to remind him that there was a call from Mr. Zhang on Line 3.

After answering the call, Lao Zhang was very happy, saying that he had successfully contacted Chi Youfeng, and that they could have a meal and chat together at noon.

As for how many "secrets" about the overseas game market can be extracted from that eccentric Chi Youfeng, it depends on the personal charm of Boss Zhou.

Zhou Buqi didn’t take it seriously, and snorted, “Old Zhang, you’re making a fuss. Do you know who Don Mattrick is? EA’s peak in the 90s was due to him; Microsoft’s rise was also due to him; Ziweixing International’s game business development depends on him. He is a world-class expert in the game field, and I want to hire him as the co-CEO of Changyou, who else knows the overseas market better than him?”

Zhang Chaoyang said, "That's different."

Zhou Buqi asked, "What's the difference?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "He is engaged in overseas markets, and of course we can rely on him for the development of overseas business. But Changyou's domestic business and the export of domestic games are related to two cultures at home and abroad. Especially the most important point, The export of games is a big trend!"

Zhou Buqi asked, "Why is there such a big situation?"

Zhang Chaoyang was very helpless, "You are really incompetent. You don't even have some basic information, so you dare to make arrangements for Changyou at the highest level?"

Zhou Buqi laughed, "It doesn't matter, the flaws don't cover up the advantages, and the strategic level doesn't look at the details. It's like Google's acquisition of Twitter. More money and less money are actually trivial. The key is to conform to the core strategy."

"Oh?" Zhang Chaoyang was very interested, "The deal is over?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's almost done. I will go to the United States next week to settle this matter. By the way, I will finalize the case of Changyou's acquisition of Ziweixing International's game business department. Then, we can hold a shareholders' meeting to reorganize the board of directors."

Zhang Chaoyang sighed secretly, and introduced: "The crisis in the game industry is actually quite serious. The United States, Europe, South Korea, Japan, and China are all similar. The domestic game market is highly concentrated, and several major game companies are highly monopolized. ... especially the online game market, this is your fault..."

"Wait!" Zhou Buqi got a little angry, "What's your name? I've never done an online game business before. Even if I'm in charge of Changyou, it's impossible for me to interfere with the specific business."

"Come on, I have investigated everything."

"What did you check?"

"Helo's game panel has 10 recommendation slots, and 10 online games are recommended. Forgot? You called me when it was recommended in "Tian Long Ba Bu"! The meaning of Helo on the PC side is no worse than that of QQ. Once you do this, with such a large amount of traffic, players all over the country will focus on these top 10 online games, and the concentration will become higher and higher?"

"Uh..." Zhou Buqi coughed, "It's not a bad thing to have a higher concentration...Don't change the subject, just talk about your general situation."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Because the domestic game market is highly concentrated, many game manufacturers have encountered a business crisis. They can't make much money in the domestic market, so they can only export."

Zhou Buqi attached great importance to it, "How many?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "Last year's data shows that there are a total of 35 domestic game manufacturers, and 91 online games developed by them have entered overseas markets, with a total sales of nearly 3 million US dollars."

"A lot!"

Zhou Buqi was really surprised.

Unexpectedly!

It turns out that there are so many seniors and so many warriors in the game industry. They are all at the forefront of the times and chose to go overseas to create value.

Even if the vast majority of them are run out, they are unable to survive in China and have to go overseas to make a living, but this is also remarkable.

All beginnings are hard.

With the current group of seniors who have gone overseas to conquer the world, their accumulated experience and various business cases can create the most favorable conditions for the domestic technology industry to go overseas.

In the previous life, "Original God" was able to explode overseas.

From this point of view, this is not an isolated phenomenon, it is the accumulation of the entire game industry over the past few years, and then it blooms and bears fruit.

This is also a key expectation of Zhou Buqi for Changyou.

The threshold of the game industry is actually not too high.

There is no need for high-end technology, and the creative level is not necessarily richer than movies. Many of them are adapted from popular IPs.

Therefore, for the domestic technology industry, in fact, the game industry should stand out the most. This should be the industry that the domestic IT field is best at.

The domestic market is huge, enough to make a lot of money.

As a result, many game manufacturers have chosen a comfortable and steady strategy and only develop domestically.

How complicated is it to operate overseas?

Different cultures and different languages ​​make it too difficult to operate.

Many game makers just gave up.

The threshold for making games is not high, but the threshold for operating games in overseas markets is very high.Therefore, many domestic game manufacturers can only do well in China.

That's kind of a pity.

If you go overseas, you can create huge value!
It is now 2011, and with the level of the domestic game industry, it is completely possible to rank among the top in the world. Domestic games are no worse than games from any other country.

What kind of skill is it to only make money from domestic players?
If you are capable, go abroad to harvest overseas players?
Zhou Buqi personally wants to take charge of Changyou. There are a few things he wants to do, and this is one of them.

He wants to open up channels for domestic games to go overseas, and he wants to lower the threshold for game export, so as to help more domestic game manufacturers to make money in overseas markets.

Compared with making money by yourself, taking everyone to make money together is a more meaningful, safer and more socially valuable choice.

Surprisingly, in the domestic game industry, there are really many game manufacturers who have embarked on the road of selling overseas...

It was a hit!
Zhou Buqi was particularly interested, and happily said: "Good thing, good thing! Changyou wants to expand its globalization, and one of the most important missions is to help domestic counterparts to promote their games abroad!"

Zhang Chaoyang snorted, "Do you understand now? Are you paying attention? Let me tell you that Perfect has been vigorously deploying overseas markets in the past few years, and has opened up more than 100 countries and regions."

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi recalled, "You mean Perfect is also doing this kind of thing?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "There should be this intention. They have opened so many branches overseas and set up so many operating studios...Perfect only has a few games. Do they need to make such a big noise? Unless it is a game giant, Ordinary game companies don’t expand their businesses so much.”

Zhou Buqi pondered and said, "Well, it makes sense."

Zhang Chaoyang said: "So, when I met Chi Youfeng at noon, you should have a good talk with him, follow his words, and see what Perfection is doing. If he really takes action, we will do the same." There can be more comprehensive planning.”

Having been together for so many years, Lao Zhang knows this kid's temperament very well.

To Boss Zhou, making money is a child's play.

This kind of thing that can promote the development of the industry and lead everyone to make money together is his favorite.

"Not that serious."

Zhou Buqi understates and acts very relaxed.

Nothing to rush!
Perfect?

Stop talking!
Boss Zhou is foresighted.

If Perfect can really do this, it will definitely be of great merit.And the market often does not treat such companies that have made great contributions to the industry badly, and the perfect market value has already taken off.

But in fact, Perfect's market value has not taken off. Just like a group of veteran game manufacturers in the previous life, such as Giant, Shanda, Changyou, and NetDragon, the stock price has been depressed for a long time.

It can be seen that perfection has not done this at all.

Boss Zhou still has to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

Here, after Zhou Buqi ended the call with Lao Zhang, Ning Lu came over and whispered, "The girls are all ready and want to report their market research results to you."

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi glanced at the door, "Where's Wanwan? Don't worry, just listen to her arrangements."

It is not an easy task to research the market conditions of the rental housing market.

Boss Zhou certainly wouldn't put all his hopes on these young girls who had just entered the society. Asking them to do research is actually just experience, and it doesn't matter if they do well or not.

He sent a total of three teams.

The other two are the most important.

One is Chen Guohuan, vice president of marketing, and the other is Liu Qing, senior vice president in charge of investment business.

The former researched the capital market, while the latter researched the Shanghai market.

Sun Guanran ran over and told her, "Liu Qing has already got off the plane and is rushing to the company, why don't you call Chen Guohuan over first?"

"Okay." Zhou Buqi nodded, and then pointed to a lot of powdery things in the office, "Clean up all these, whose makeup box is this, why did you put it here?"

Sun Guanran said: "Your junior, you may have fallen behind."

"Who?"

Zhou Buqi was slightly taken aback.

Sun Guanran said with a half-smile, "Yan Qiqi, she is your junior."

"University?"

Zhou Buqi really didn't know about it.

Sun Guanran pursed her lips, "Well, your college alumni are from the same college and major as you."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "That's quite a coincidence. I didn't expect such a beautiful girl to appear in a science and engineering college like ours. I feel that she is even more beautiful than Guan Ting back then."

"Guan Ting?"

"My classmate in college has been married to Guo Pengfei a long time ago, haven't you seen it before?"

"Oh, that Guan Ting..." Sun Guanran just remembered, "However, there is a little problem with Yan Qiqi, and I don't quite understand it."

Zhou Buqi asked, "What happened to her?"

Sun Wanran said, "It seems to be a little inflamed."

Zhou Buqi frowned slightly, "What inflammation?"

Sun Wanran said: "Didn't Ning Lu take them to a beauty parlor the afternoon before yesterday, and had laser hair removal again... She may not have protected herself well, and because of the hot weather, she became inflamed. She is a girl My child, I was terrified, and I was too embarrassed to go to the hospital, so I came to see me, how could I understand? Your Boss Zhou is well-informed, why don't you treat her?"
