For the games he likes, he is naturally willing to share them with others, and he is also willing to pull his friends together to try them out. 【

In fact, because of the excellent gameplay of World of Warcraft, but also because of its super pvp and pve gameplay.Whether it's pk, or character-role-passing, they have done very well.This also means that, with the release of advertisements, more and more players are vying for the best online game in the world to their colleagues and friends.

"What, you don't like playing online games? It doesn't matter, the gameplay of World of Warcraft is much more exciting than traditional single-click gameplay."

All kinds of reports, as well as the strategies of all kinds of hardcore players, rushed in.

With the public beta of World of Warcraft, all players around the world have joined.The term World of Warcraft has become a new term.Especially, World of Warcraft players, they are more united than any other game players.Just like the World of Warcraft players in China, the team they formed on Baidu Tie is completely a super organization.

Yes, no one would have guessed that it was just a World of Warcraft game post at the beginning, and later it became one of the most popular hype forums in history.Even, in later generations, because of all kinds of bad information.The World of Warcraft post took the lead and swept the whole world.Things like explosions, forum explosions, website explosions...there are endless.

Moreover, such a team and many websites have nothing to do with it.

Because, such a team has too many people.Moreover, Chen Jiayi did not want to restrain such a team.After all, the World of Warcraft team organization of later generations, in essence, is at most just doing a little prank on the Internet, and it doesn't really have much destructive effect.Therefore, for such a team, the major companies under Chen Jiayi turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, letting them do whatever they wanted.

On the contrary, it was precisely such a team that appeared, but he made some small contributions to the active Internet.

Take the present as an example, the emergence of these organizations has also played a very important role in the expansion of World of Warcraft.For example, in certain forums and such-and-such tt groups, from time to time, a sentence flashes, "What are you playing in the game, World of Warcraft." It seems that such a sentence does not have much effect.However, in this case, there are so many people.

When the first sentence like this comes out, no one may pay attention.

Ten words like this come out, and no one may pay attention.

However, when a hundred sentences, ten thousand sentences, one hundred thousand names, one million sentences, or even ten million sentences appear, then the power he exerts is as simple as one sentence.Just like a sentence from later generations, Jia Junpeng, your mother called you home for dinner.Of course, such words are meaningless.However, it is such a meaningless work, but it has become an explosive catchphrase.Naturally, what the game plays, World of Warcraft.With such a representative meaning, the commercial value it brings is even greater.

In this way, World of Warcraft became popular all over the world under the influence of Tang Dynasty Company.

Whether it is Chinese players or European and American players, they have limited enthusiasm for this World of Warcraft.Of course, among them, the enthusiasm of European and American players is the highest.After all, after seeing the myths about World of Warcraft and Western Fantasy History, Western players are simply more excited.

They entered World of Warcraft one after another to experience the passion brought to them by online games.

"250."

According to the data of the first day of the public beta, Tangchao Network announced the good news, with 250 million simultaneous online users.

Of course, among them, Chinese players are excluded.

"What, 250 million?"

Although many media have learned about the 1000 million that Chen Jiayi said, they should have gotten used to the number below 1000 million.However, they still couldn't believe the fact that the number of global online users reached 250 million on the first day of the public beta.However, afterwards, some media analyzed it in detail.They believed that, not to mention the advertising bombardment of Tang Dynasty Company in the recent period, even if there were not many advertisements, there would still be so many people online in this public beta.

After all, during the closed beta of World of Warcraft, he attracted 200 million closed beta players around the world.

And for such an epoch-making online game, they have almost played it, and they will continue to play it again.Naturally, the 200 million internal beta players who entered before chose to continue to follow up.In this way, coupled with the continuous expansion in the past few days, it seems that it is understandable to absorb 50 new players in a few days.

However, it was such an understandable thing that many media couldn't believe it.

No wonder, such data has exceeded their imagination.For things beyond their cognition, no matter how reasonable he is, they will not choose to believe.Just like science fiction, why some science fiction theories seem reasonable, but many people still regard him as science fiction.That's because such a theory is beyond their understanding of the world.

However, it doesn't matter whether the media believes it or not.

The popularity of World of Warcraft is still going on, and the promotion of Tang Dynasty Company will never stop.

"300."

"400."

"500."

Finally, 3 months later, the number of simultaneous online users of World of Warcraft reached 500 million worldwide.

Although, that's for later.The current Chen Jiayi, including other media, they don't know.However, when such a record broke out in later generations, countless media gradually began to disbelieve it and chose to slowly accept it.Because, with such a growth rate of game players, within a year, the number of simultaneous online players of World of Warcraft will surely exceed 1000 million.

Even if such 1000 million players are excluded, they will choose to believe it.

This is the brilliance of World of Warcraft, and other games will never appreciate its splendor.

However, influenced by World of Warcraft, Tang Dynasty Company and other Internet and websites, some companies choose to learn from Tang Dynasty Internet and develop online games, so as to seize the lost market.But for some companies, they choose other methods.As in, now Microsoft, he started an important meeting.

"Sorry to bring you all together during your break."

This meeting is chaired by Bill.

Bill, formerly the richest man in the world, Bill Gates.However, the current Bill, he has retired from the position of the world's richest man, for no other reason than the sharp drop in Microsoft's stock.Now the world's richest man, he has already given up to the American stock god Buffett, and the next one is Soros, the speculator master.

For such a ranking, many people have actually questioned it.

They believed that Chen Jiayi should be the richest man in the world.

You know, the Tang Dynasty Group founded by Chen Jia is one of Renren, or instant messaging... His value has already reached [-] billion U.S. dollars.Moreover, Chen Jiayi is still fully controlling these two subsidiaries.Not to mention, he also has Tang Dynasty Network, Tang Dynasty Film and Television... and other major subsidiaries.It's a pity why there is no place for Chen Jiayi in the world's richest man ranking.

Of course, levy for such doubts.Forbes magazine gave an explanation. In theory, Chen Jiayi's wealth is very likely to become the richest man in the world.But if we take a closer look, under the Tang Dynasty Group, only *** Network has chosen to be listed on the Chinese stock market.Other companies did not choose to go public for financing.As a wealth manager, we can only evaluate specific public information.For those that are not listed, or if there are too many arguments about their value, we will not choose to incorporate them into personal property.

Regardless of this theory of wealth.

After his personal worth reached tens of billions of dollars, his net worth is just a game of numbers.Whether it's Chen Jiayi, Buffett, or the current Bill, he doesn't care much about it.Like whether he is the richest man in the world or not, only ordinary people are interested in this identity, and they themselves have no feeling at all.

Today, Bill convened Microsoft's top executives.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

I saw at the top of the meeting that today's Bill has never been so serious.Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to gather the high-level executives when they were resting.Because the concept of Europeans and Americans is that when they rest, they must rest.Even if there was still a huge task to be done yesterday, they would choose to rest before working.

Possibly, it is impossible for the Chinese to agree with such behavior, and it is hard to believe it.But, in America, that's it.

"I think we should do something on the Internet."

Microsoft's biggest income comes from its operating system and its office management software.Although in addition to the operating system and office management software, Microsoft still has a lot of business.Such as sql database, msn instant messaging, online games and other services.However, the profits of these businesses are not very large, and for Microsoft, they don't care.

However, this was before.

Now Microsoft, they have deeply felt the crisis.Based on the development of the core of the Tang Dynasty, in the next few years, various operating systems will be released in the world.Although, they already have some ways to deal with it.However, they had to make two-handed preparations.If they don't curb the birth of the world's major operating systems, then Microsoft will fall into bankruptcy.

Obviously, Bill didn't want Microsoft, which he founded with all his heart, to go bankrupt.So, Microsoft thought of another way out.Perhaps, in another part of the t industry, Microsoft can also find some other investments.For example, they have started investing heavily in online games this year.

However, Bill still believes that investing in online games is not enough, he also wants to enter the field of Internet sites.

"the Internet?"

Hearing Bill's words, all the high-level executives sitting there didn't understand at first, but then they understood.

It seems that Bill was stimulated by Tang Dynasty Company, otherwise, he would not have thought of entering the Internet website business on a large scale.

"Boos, although the Internet is good, especially the operation of Tang Dynasty Company, we have seen the true role of the Internet. However, today's Internet world belongs to Tang Dynasty Company. Moreover, the Google company we acquired, his search The engine business has plummeted, and basically our Internet strategy has been ruined.”

When Microsoft bought Google, it wanted to enter the Internet business.

It is a pity that Google finally withdrew from the world's mainstream search market under the attack of Google and Yahoo search engines.Until now, it only has a certain market share in the United States.However, this share is still declining.Without the support of Google search, they really don't know where to start if they want to start an Internet website business.

"who said it."

Bill strongly disagrees with this view.In fact, in the past, Bill would have thought that entering the Internet market was really embarrassing.But now, Bill has almost no way to go.

"For example, Microsoft also launched a community website, what do you think?"

community site.

When it comes to community websites, everyone knows that Renren.com is the leader among them.Moreover, Renren.com has developed extremely fast and has taken root in major countries around the world.Even if other companies can enter, at most, they can only play in the local area.Moreover, in terms of scale and influence, it cannot surpass Renren in any way.From the perspective of the US market, among the community websites, there is a community website of Facebook, Xuerenren.com.All the while, though, they attracted only a handful of members.

Basically, when people talk about social networks, they don't think of Facebook.

"Boos, maybe, this is a bit difficult?"

Everyone's thoughts are not too dismissive, but because such a market is too tightly controlled by Tang Dynasty Company.If they want to enter, in addition to spending a huge price, they may not get the market share they want.You know, the Internet looks small, but the scale of investment is not small at all.Don't see the success of Tang Dynasty Company, you forget the risks involved.Like Google, under good circumstances, it was also defeated by Tang Dynasty Company.As a result, Microsoft lost billions of dollars.

Now their boss, that is, Bill, wants to play the Internet again?

"Of course there are some difficulties, otherwise we wouldn't have asked everyone to discuss it."

Bill is not an idiot. In fact, his business strategy is better than many talented people.

For example, he is much better than the "Jobs" whom everyone admires.

"If Microsoft is going to enter the community website, how should we spread it?"

Portals and the like, although Microsoft's msn homepage is not an orthodox official portal, there are quite a few users.However, Bill believes that compared with community websites, portal websites have great disadvantages.For example, the portal website, he does not have much interaction-sex.As for the community website, its super-interactive and super-social-sex have brought a steady stream of very active Internet users to the social networking site.

Like Tang Dynasty Company, they know that if there are users, there will be a result.If there are active users, then everything can be operated.Just like Tang Dynasty Company, he actually doesn't have the so-called high technology at all.Moreover, his so-called high-tech is the same thing in the eyes of many technological companies.What really made them rise was his powerful Internet.Using this network, he will come out with everything that can be spread.

Like online games, the Internet, or handhelds, or mobile phones.

Whether it is a software product or a hardware product.As for electronic products, basically he can broadcast through the Internet.Maybe, in the future, when Tangchao Company enters the digital industry, he can still produce Tangchao cameras.Don't tell me, Tang Dynasty Company has this possibility.Whenever Chen Jiayi is free, it's okay to buy a digital company.Then, he searched widely on the Internet, and since then, another digital electronics company in the world has come out.

It's a long way off, but having said so much, Bill deeply understands the meaning of Internet users and what he represents.

"I thought, boos, maybe, we can do this."

At this time, Steve, the vice president of Microsoft and Bill's assistant, said something directly at this time.

"Oh, Steve, tell me."

Steve had been following Bill before, starting from the secretary and rising to the position of vice president of the group.It can even be said that Steve is a veteran who has witnessed the growth of Microsoft.Of course, the current Steve, he is still very young.Bill is thinking that after a few years, after he retires, he will hand over the position of Microsoft eo to Steve.

Therefore, Bill is looking forward to the performance of "Steve".

"A formal publicity plan may have a much slower effect, and we can't delay it. At this time, we may use our communication tools and our -operating -system to do something unconventional wide."

As a communication tool, Microsoft has one called msn, one of the world's three major communication tools, only under Tang Dynasty tt.

"Though msn advertising is effective, it seems that this is also a traditional means of advertising?"

Bill asked in detail.

"No, our advertising through msn is not an advertisement in the traditional sense. I think our social network can be bundled into msn. For example, we add a community website URL to the msn communication software. Just like Tang Dynasty tt Same, he added a lot of business on the tt communicator. Like an e-commerce platform, like a blog..."

"So that's the case."

Everyone finally understood.

It turns out that this promotion is not through advertising, but complete bundling.

"It's just that Tang Dynasty Company can also bind a Renren network connection through their Tang Dynasty tt."

Although "Renren" is not currently doing this, as long as he sees such a plan popping up on msn, he will immediately enter.Obviously, although such an idea is good, it cannot have much influence on the "Tang Dynasty Company".

"Don't worry, this is just the first step, just to attract the popularity of our social networking site."

Wanting to rely on this step to defeat Renren.com is simply a dream.

"Beyond that, we have, our -operating system."
