Mist Fairy

Chapter 193 You might as well play games
Zijin Hotel, the best hotel in Zijin City, has been inherited for more than 1000 years, and it was the number one restaurant in Zijin a thousand years ago.Since ancient times, the Zijin area has been rich and prosperous, with fish and rice and salt and iron going hand in hand. People here also value enjoyment, know how to eat and play.This millennium-old hotel is a representative of eating and playing.The consumption here is extremely high, which cannot be afforded by ordinary families like Zhang Cundao.

Zhang's father came here to eat occasionally, but it was always a treat for the patron.Today Zhang Cundao, Zhu Xuanxuan and Mr. Zhu came here together, and they also came here to treat guests.

Two friends from Guangnan visited Mr. Zhu, and Mr. Zhu naturally chose to entertain guests here in order to show his friendship as a landlord.And Zhang Cundao was also called, which naturally has something to do with him.

Taking advantage of the lack of guests in the box, Mr. Zhu said to Zhang Cundao: "This editor-in-chief Hou is the editor-in-chief of Guangnan Media Group. the interests of the rich."

"The information technology company they invested in has some overlap with yours in terms of business. This time I brought the CEO of that company here, and I think it was also negotiating with you."

When Mr. Zhu said this, Zhu Xuanxuan beside her was a little unhappy. She said softly, "Father, since this is the case, this is not a good feast, so why are we here? It's a normal market competition."

Zhu Xuanxuan still felt sorry for Zhang Cundao, his career had only started to improve, and then someone came to obstruct him, and her old father actually helped outsiders!It made her very angry.

Mr. Zhu glanced at his daughter, this is really a girl who is outward, and girls are not allowed to stay!But there is no way, who told him to spoil his daughter.So he patiently explained: "Good girl, market competition is not used in this way. The company of Cundao has improved, but it is still very immature. If you directly confront others head-on, it will be a waste of strength, and it is easy to be overwhelmed by others. I took advantage of it."

He glanced at Zhang Cundao, and found that Zhang Cundao also nodded, agreeing with his words.He felt a little comforted. Although Zhang Cundao was the same age as his daughter, his temperament was much better than other young people.It doesn't look like a young man in his early twenties at all, but more like a middle-aged man in his 40s and [-]s.

He continued to say to his two juniors: "Nowadays the information industry is mixed with good and bad people, and there is no particularly powerful company as the leader. The competition below is already very fierce. Cun Dao can make chat software, and other companies can also. And the one in Guangnan The company’s current share is also good. If we compete with each other now, we will be fighting for the fisherman’s benefit. It is better to negotiate well, and then expand the market to attack other potential opponents.”

He glanced at Zhu Xuanxuan and said, "It's the same as when you win over top students and beat other students at school. As long as you form a head advantage and reduce dimensionality to hit others, it will be difficult for others to recover."

Zhu Xuanxuan's face changed slightly when she heard this, she glanced at Zhang Cundao, and quickly said: "I didn't hit other classmates, Dad, don't talk nonsense."

Mr. Zhu has been immersed in business for decades. Although his words are cruel, this is the essence of business.The more oligarchy there is in an industry, the lower the vitality of the industry.Because as long as a start-up company makes some achievements, the oligarchs will either buy it or kill it.

Zijin Mining has definitely done a lot in this regard, deceiving other companies to buy exhausted ore veins, using other companies to develop difficult-to-develop mine veins, and then operating the market with its own size, driving other companies to death , going on to annex and take over other companies.

The information industry is an emerging industry that has only developed in the past few years. Everyone is busy with the layout, and there is no such a large-scale head company. At this time, the best way to develop is to cooperate vertically and horizontally.

The three of them were talking, and after a while, the secret technique opened the door and said, "Mr. Zhu, the guests have arrived."

The old Mr. Zhu took Zhang Cundao and Zhu Xuanxuan and said, "Go, go to the door to greet the guests and show our demeanor."

So the three came to the door and met today's guest.

Editor-in-Chief Hou is considered a celebrity. He has been famous for a long time and often publishes articles on TV and newspapers to criticize current events.I know a lot of people.And beside him is a young man who seems to be about the same age as Zhang Cundao. This should be the boss of the competing company.

Mr. Zhu and Editor-in-Chief Hou greeted each other, and then introduced the people they brought.Then everyone sat down to eat, without mentioning anything else, just chatting about family affairs and romance.

The three young people present didn't say a word, just ate their food, and only said a few words when asked about themselves.

Wait for the wine to pass three rounds, and the dishes to pass the five flavors.The dinner table is finally over.Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "Lao Hou and I went to the smoking room to smoke. You young people can chat for a while. You are all young people, so we should be able to chat together."

What he meant was that you negotiate your own affairs, and the parents behind both sides will cover each other.After they finished talking, they walked to the smoking room next to them.

As for Zhang Cundao and the others, they entered the tea room, Zhu Xuanxuan made tea, and the two men chatted.

Zhu Xuanxuan had learned tea art, she fiddled with it for a while, after both of them drank the first cup of tea.The young boss on the opposite side said: "Mr. Zhang's fog chat is very good. It is both innovative and interesting. Unlike us, he is still struggling. I just don't know if Mr. Zhang is willing to share it with us? We would like to share it with us. Acting for Wuchat's business in Guangnan."

This is the strategy of young people.He had discussed with the financial backer, and it would be a lose-lose to compete with Zhang Cundao's company head-on.Zhang Cundao is not a pure newcomer. His company has Zijin Mining as a big financial backer. If Zijin Mining really wants to fight, it can leverage huge funds.

Although their company has the support of Guangnan Media, they are not afraid of running out of money.However, if the matter continues, it is very likely that Zijin Mining and Guangnan Media will compete behind it, which will be detrimental to both parties.

Since it's hard to fight, let's make peace.Although Zhang Cundao's company is booming now, promotion is still a big problem.If they take over their business, relying on Guangnan Media, they will definitely be able to establish a world in the south.At that time, it is not impossible to annex the parent company with subsidiaries.

The current strategy is to combine the two companies, integrate their strengths, consolidate their territory, and then march towards the northern market.Show the Yankees the money the Yankees have!
In this regard, Mr. Zhu and their ideas are similar, they are all business predators, and no one can deceive the other.

But Zhang Cundao didn't answer the young man's words, but said, "I wonder if you have any idea of ​​entering the game industry?"

"Game?" The young man was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "We do have this idea, but our energy..." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Cundao interrupted him, and then said: "My fog chat It’s impossible to operate it for you, and it’s not good to divide it into regions. First, you don’t have the strength, and second, you don’t understand our plan. To put it bluntly, you are holding us back by joining our team.”

Hearing Zhang Cundao's blunt words, even though the young man was quite mature, he couldn't hold his breath at this time. He sneered, and just about to retort, Zhang Cundao stopped talking.

At this time, Zhang Cundao naturally revealed a temperament different from ordinary people. His temperament was noble and quiet, confident and restrained, sensitive and sincere.There is a faint sense of control over the situation.

He said lightly: "I have also known about your company. Your company has been losing money now, and you have done a lot of advertising, but the results are not necessarily good. Because you are backed by Guangnan Media, you have certain discounts in advertising, otherwise The advertising costs alone can overwhelm you."

"But this is not a big problem. Your core problem is the operating cost! Your computer room is leased from the Guangnan Telecom Bureau, and the monthly maintenance and operating cost is hundreds of thousands. And we have calculated that each additional one of you is effectively Users, your operating costs will increase by 100 cents every month, if you add another [-] million users, your monthly direct expenditure costs will exceed one million."

"If you want to operate with us, you must share the profits with us. This is another expense for you. To be honest, I don't think you can stand it."

What Zhang Cundao said is the truth. The biggest problem in business operations is cost.Their cost is so high, the pressure of competition will be very great.

But Zhang Cundao said: "We are different. Our computer room is our own. We have the ability and strength to maintain the best computer room in the world. For this part alone, our cost is less than one-tenth of yours. And every time we add an active user, the cost will only increase by less than two cents. This is the cost advantage brought about by our technological advantages. You don’t have technology like ours!”

These are nonsense, Zhang Cundao basically does not spend money to maintain the computer room...

When the young man on the opposite side heard this, his expression became gloomy, because these were all the truth.The strong do not unite with the weak, because this kind of union does not have the ability to add to each other, but will hold back the strong.If his company had nothing worthy of Zhang Cundao's fancy, how could Zhang Cundao join forces with them...

Zhang Cundao looked at him, smiled slightly and said, "However, if you play games together, we have a chance to cooperate."

"Game?" The young man was taken aback, why did he switch to this topic again.

"Yes, it's the game! Our company originally planned to develop 2D graphics games, but you also know that the company's start-up manpower and energy are insufficient. There is a plan, but it is difficult to implement. And your company, don't hug you The chat software is fighting with us, there is no future. Why don’t you try your best to make games, we cooperate in this aspect. You rely on Guangnan Media, and you have a natural advantage in the promotion of games.”

After he said this, he said to the young man: "Besides, we have a plan to enter the display graphics card in the future. Wouldn't it be great if you sell games and I sell graphics cards!"

The young man's eyes popped out when he heard this, and he murmured, "Display card? This is not software, there is also hardware..."

Zhang Cundao nodded and said, "So, we need to let go of the layout and enlarge our horizons. Today's graphics cards are just in their infancy, and there is no problem for me to join in, but we need more funds."

He said lightly: "If you cooperate with us, you will take the lead in the future market."

Zhang Cundao's words made the young man slightly distracted. He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly said: "You won't lie to me, do you really want to get a graphics card?"

Zhang Cundao smiled slightly and said, "I never lie."

His words are confident and persuasive, his eyes are full of absolute confidence in the future, and his face is full of absolute confidence in himself.At this moment, he seemed to be glowing, and Zhu Xuanxuan, who was watching from the side, looked fascinated and excited.

Not to mention women like Zhu Xuanxuan, even young people who are used to seeing big men are dazzled by Zhang Cundao's demeanor at this time.This kind of self-confidence is often found in those big men.

The young man lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "I've been working on communication software, and never thought about games..."

"Now you can think about it, as long as I have the communication software. There are too many communication software, but they are not compatible. There are many games, but there is no incompatibility. If you do it boldly, I can hand over our company's word games to you. You adapt it and provide some technical support. And when your game is finished, we can provide a computer room to ensure the game runs, so that you have no worries."

This time, the young man was completely convinced. He nodded and said, "I will think about it carefully."

Zhang Cundao also nodded, and then said: "Drink tea, this tea is very good."

The tea is over, the cigarettes are over.Both parties bid farewell politely.On the car going back, Mr. Zhu listened quietly to Zhang Cundao's words. He was very satisfied with Zhang Cundao's words, and then said with some surprise: "Are you really planning to enter the graphics card industry? Or are you fooling that kid?"

Zhang Cundao said with a smile: "Why should I lie to him? I think this is the best distribution method. He has no ability, he can only play games, and he can provide me with cash in the future. But I have the ability, so naturally I have to bear a bigger burden." Responsibility to do better things."

Listening to his words, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but be convinced by his self-confidence.This is the young man!Thinking back to when he was in his 20s, he was still a young man doing nothing at all, and every day he was either flirting with women or making money by racing cars.In the end, his angry father sent him to the exploration team for several years...

And Zhu Xuanxuan also looked at Zhang Cundao fascinated, the smile on her face never disappeared.If Mr. Zhu hadn't been there, she couldn't help but rush forward.Such an excellent and confident man is what she has been pursuing in her life!

After bidding farewell to the Zhu family's father and daughter, Zhang Cundao walked slowly back to his home.He walked slowly while thinking about the problem.At this time, he no longer considered commercial issues, but considered spiritual issues.

After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind.What kind of Taoist soldiers should he choose!
