The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 552 The dragon slayer finally becomes an evil dragon

The next day, Luo Ming held a remote meeting with Zhuoguang Games.

The main content of the meeting was to talk about my feelings about the Sky Heart Willow Branch line on the first day of "Fengshen", and by the way asked about the situation of this internal test and the arrangements for subsequent development.

Zhao Ningyuan was very happy when he learned about Luo Ming's evaluation of the hollow willow branch line.

In Zhao Ningyuan's opinion, Luo Ming is an absolute genius in game production. The "Plants vs. Zombies" that started with Zhuo Guang is still popular.

Not to mention "Happy Match 3", which now has nearly million registered users.

The revenue of Clash of Clans is also quite terrifying.

Even Penguin's most profitable mobile game, "Honor of Kings", was created by its own boss.

The boss has expressed his approval of "Fengshen", so there is a high probability that "Fengshen" will become a hit.

This is a great encouragement to Zhao Ningyuan.

“By the way, Mr. Zhao, if you want to become a god, you have to not leave out PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Peace Elite. These two games will be launched this year.” Luo Ming changed the subject.

"Boss, rest assured, both games have entered the internal testing phase and will definitely be launched on time during the summer vacation, but..."

"Just what?"

"Penguin has always wanted to incorporate PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds into their Wegame."

"Then go for it! PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is originally divided into several regional servers. Is there any other choice for the Chinese server besides Wegame? Steam doesn't have a Chinese server.

Besides, Penguin owns 15% of the shares of Blazing Light Games. If you insist, we are all family members, and the benefits should not flow to outsiders! When we talk about profit sharing, we can also use this reason to control them.

Last but not least, we have Penguin's Wegame in the Chinese server, so we don't even need to worry about the problem of plug-ins, they will help us solve it. "

After listening to Luo Ming's words, Zhao Ningyuan had an idea in his mind.

"Then how do we deal with the boss's overseas plug-ins?" Zhao Ningyuan asked tentatively.

"Let's learn from Penguin! We really don't have much experience in this area, and the relevant technical reserves are insufficient. Penguin has been fighting against plug-ins for many years. With their technology, it is better than us groping around like a headless fly."

"Okay boss, I understand."

"Well, another thing is to make it clear to them during the negotiation with Penguin that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds can be on Wegame, but the corresponding Peace Elite cannot be touched by Penguin."

"Ahem, Boss, what you said is a bit redundant." Zhao Ningyuan said in an awkward tone.

"What do you mean?"

"Penguin doesn't think highly of Peaceful Elite at all. They think FPS-type mobile games can't make money. They didn't mention anything related to Peaceful Elite at all."

After listening to Zhao Ningyuan's words, Luo Ming was happy. What a good relationship! Penguin doesn't need to worry about him.

After the remote meeting with Zhuoguang Games ended, Luo Ming leaned back in his chair. It was within Luo Ming's expectations that Penguin would take a fancy to "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

But Penguin is not interested in "Peace Elite". Is it because "Honor of Kings" made too much money that made them arrogant and they look down on other mobile games?
But no matter what, this is definitely a good thing for Burning Light Games.

Before they knew it, another week had passed. In the new week, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen were in an interpenetrating state.

The two of them hardly used administrator privileges to restore the souls this week, because Lin Shuwen's concert was a tour, and it was hard to tell which show would be in a cross-continuity state.

So Luo Ming also needs to familiarize himself with the concert process.

Lin Shuwen also experienced the hollow willow branch line in "Fengshen".

To be honest, Lin Shuwen is not very interested in games. She plays "Fengshen" purely for the story.

It took Lin Shuwen more than two days to complete this line. As a layman, she couldn't say much about the gameplay, but she just thought the story was well written.

On Friday afternoon, Luo Ming suddenly called Lin Shuwen and said, "Wenwen, please call the company's senior management and have a meeting at 3 pm."

"Meeting? What kind of meeting? Is there something urgent?"

"'Dying to Survive' is going to be on the May 5.1st slot the day after tomorrow, and I want to finalize something while this movie is on." Luo Ming said in a serious tone.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Shuwen agreed immediately.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Ming and Chen Sichu returned to the company together.

After arriving at her office, Lin Shuwen used administrator privileges to temporarily restore the two souls to their original places.

"Aming, what do you want to confirm?" Lin Shuwen asked.

“Something that is meaningful to society.”

At 5.1: p.m., all the senior executives of Zhuoguang Technology gathered in Zhuoguang's conference room. The May Day holiday was approaching, and although there were no major events in the various departments of Zhuoguang, there were a lot of small things. Luo Ming suddenly called them in for a meeting at this time, which somewhat affected their work.

However, the senior executives of Zhuoguang also knew that Luo Ming hated meetings the most. If he suddenly called everyone over, it must be because he had something important to say.

After seeing everyone present, Luo Ming cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, I called everyone here! I have something to say, but before I say it, I want to ask everyone a question. What kind of company do you think Zhuoguang Technology will be in the next ten or twenty years?"

The senior executives of Zhuoguang looked at each other, and finally Tong Mingwei was the first to stand up and said, "Boss, I think if our business develops smoothly, Zhuoguang may become the fourth Internet giant after BAT in a few years."

Upon hearing this, other senior executives of the company expressed their agreement.

Among Zhuoguang’s current businesses, games are undoubtedly the most profitable. Even because of "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Clash of Clans", Zhuoguang games are quite influential abroad.

The second is Toutiao. Toutiao’s data is the most stable and is also the source of the company’s core big data. It can be said to be a leading company in the mobile portal and news fields.

In this regard, even Penguin News, relying on the traffic of QQ and WeChat, is no match for Toutiao, let alone others.

Then there is TikTok. Although TikTok has not been established for a long time, its monetization capabilities are not bad, and it is already showing signs of catching up with Toutiao.

In addition, there are also jokes with connotations. With these apps and games added together, there will basically be no problems with Zhuoguang’s funds.

As long as the company develops slowly, it is certain that it will become a new Internet giant.

Luo Ming nodded and said, "Yes! In a sense, Zhan Guang is already very powerful now, and his future is limitless.

Our company's wealth is already more than we can spend in our lifetime, so what's the point of us continuing to expand the company and make money? Isn't money just a string of numbers to us?"

The top executives of Zhuoguang were speechless upon hearing this. They didn’t understand what the purpose of Luo Ming’s words was.

Rong Mu was the only one in the audience who knew the purpose of Luo Ming gathering everyone here today.

Rong Mu also very much supports Luo Ming's plan. He wants to make money, but he doesn't want to be called a capitalist. He prefers the title of entrepreneur.

So Rong Mu stood up and said, “Everyone, our company has now developed to the point where, in a sense, we are standing at the crossroads of fate.

Penguin, Alibaba, and Baidu have all experienced similar situations, but the choices they made were different.

More than a decade ago, Penguin CEO Ma's original intention of developing social software was to connect users across the country. At that time, Penguin relied on his passion to get to where it is today, but now it has become like this.

The same is true for Alibaba's CEO Jack Ma. When he founded Alibaba, his goal was to make it easier to do business in the world, but now Taobao is desperately squeezing small businesses.

Not only that, Alibaba has personally started to develop Tmall, directing Taobao's traffic to its own platform, which is a rhythm of killing ordinary small businesses.

The original intention of Baidu's creation was to make China have a browser that suits itself, but I don't need to say much about what Baidu is like now, right? When you open the browser, there are all kinds of ads, and there is no bottom line at all.

The founders of these three companies were once full of enthusiasm and wanted to change the environment of the Internet industry, but now they have become the dragons that were killed.

I wonder if the future of our company will become like this? We will forget the original purpose of our company's establishment. "

After hearing what Rong Mu said, the senior executives of Zhuoguang suddenly realized that President Luo and President Rong were worried about the future of the company.

The others turned to look at Tong Mingwei tacitly.

You can’t ignore him! The core industries of the company are now being handled by the technical department, who also master the company’s big data algorithms and AI models.

Now in this occasion, only Tong Mingwei can answer the questions raised by the bosses.

Tong Mingwei also knew that he had to speak to reassure the bosses, so he stood up and said, "Boss, we are doing pretty well now, and we still remember what you said before about not making money by doing something against your conscience.

Our APP, whether it is Douyin, Toutiao, or Neihan Duanzi, is very strict in review and will never allow unhealthy content to spread on our APP.

At the same time, we are very strict in accepting advertisements and will not accept advertisements with questionable product qualifications.”

"I know what you said, but I think it's not enough. We are just adhering to the bottom line and have not done anything beneficial to society. I think we should take the initiative to do something for society."

"Take the initiative to do something for the society? How to do it specifically?" asked Lin Shuwen, who had remained silent.

“As an Internet giant, we are a form of capital, and exploitation and oppression are in the genes of capital.

Coupled with the special properties of the Internet, as we continue to develop, we will inevitably form a monopoly, and after the monopoly, we will inevitably have the ability to exploit and oppress others.

Of course, if our business philosophy is always based on good intentions, then we can avoid exploitation and oppression to a certain extent, but this is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause.

Because capital itself is profit-seeking, it is impossible to allow a monopolist not to seek the highest profit, so in order to maintain our position, we must do some not-so-good things.

If we don't do it, and others do it, and they have more funds and stronger strength, then they will challenge us in turn, and we may lose.

To be more specific, it was the confrontation between the company and Kuaipai some time ago.

In order to protect our own interests, will we also end up like BAT, where the dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon? "
