Chapter 116 Special Meeting

A few days later, Cao Yutong, who was far away in the United States, brought two good news and one bad news to Liu Xiang. 【】

To be precise, there is good news and bad news one after another...

In the past week or so, Cao Yutong was like a hardworking bee, flying from west to east.First, he flew to South Africa to complete the final acquisition with mh, then returned to North America to secretly meet with the person in charge of the Westwoo team, and analyzed and discussed the future of Westwood members who had been treated like stepmothers in e, and at the same time offered an olive branch.Then, Cao Yutong contacted the group of employees who left Microsoft again to show the importance he attached to them. Then, Cao Yutong made initial contact with two major hardware manufacturers, m and t, about the host processor and graphics core. , Liu Xiang's eloquent analysis of the trend of processors and graphics cores in the next few years is indispensable.In fact, it was Liu Xiang's analysis that made m and t start to admire each other...

In the end, Cao Yutong and Tom, who rushed back to the United States overnight, took care of the ly team.

Among them, the only thing that can be called bad news is probably Ximu's problem.Even though Cao Yutong's tongue was like a lotus flower, even though she said that the straw was a gold bar, the person in charge of Ximutou politely declined You's kindness. Before the contract expired, the members of Ximutou Studio would not have other ideas.Even when Cao Yutong asserted that the westwoo team would be disbanded once the contract expired, the person in charge of Ximutou clearly told Cao Yutong that westwoo is definitely a team that will never give up their dreams, no matter in the past or in the future...

……

When Liu Xiang, who was in contact with Cao Yutong by phone every day, smiled slightly after hearing the news, he comforted Cao Yutong instead. This just showed the quality of the staff in the westwoo working group, so let her not worry.As long as they know what you mean, that's fine.After all, Liu Xiang has not reached the point where he can decide the fate of a group of people...

When Liu Xiang announced Cao Yutong's whereabouts and affairs in the half-month overseas at the high-level telephone conference, all those who questioned Cao Yutong's ability at the beginning kept their mouths shut.In swimming, strength is everything.

Since September, Youdu has been in a passive situation. From the hacking and attack in early September, to the subsequent private server incident, to some small disturbances in the acquisition of Tencent, and to the current rise of "Tianluo"... ...These are all challenging the limit of others.Well, to be precise, it was challenging Liu Xiang's limit.

But fortunately, in more than a month, You also officially kicked off the prelude to overseas development.In addition to the development of the mainframe has been officially put on the agenda, even Tencent is also bumping into it and finally took over.Facing a non-listed company like You, although the $1 million it cost to acquire Tencent seems uneconomical, Liu Xiang knows that once Tencent operates according to its own philosophy or the way Liu Xiang remembers, even if Tencent does not go public , this [-] million dollars will also be earned back in dividends in the near future.This is almost inevitable.

And the expansion of the overseas travel market, which was listed as the number one operation plan by the travel operation department, finally officially kicked off in September. The national and local operating rights were also sold at the same time, and the "Dream Bubble", which was developed first, was sold at the same time.Now, the operating rights of the UK and Canada are also actively negotiating. The popularity of "Miracle" in the country has greatly stimulated the immature game market and operators.What's more, "Miracle" is indeed better than Legendary by more than a little bit.

In the United States, You is planning to use the name of the new company to operate: "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down." These are Liu Xiang's "rhetoric words" when he talked with Director He of the Press and Publication Administration. .For this reason, Secretary He praised Liu Xiang verbally on the phone.He also told Liu Xiang that he must show the courage to develop independently and sell the games from China to the other side of the ocean. 1039893

"The next work will focus on consolidating the domestic market. At least in the next two years, we will strive to occupy more than 30.00% of the domestic travel market." Liu Xiang sipped his coffee to refresh himself while speaking in the internal chat room of the tour...

As branch companies around the world have formalized and functionalized, You's high-level executives have also been pulled to all parts of the country, oh no, all over the world... So, for real-time communication, Liu Xiang thought of this method of holding meetings.Intuitive and simple, this scene is more "high-tech" than the old-fashioned conference call.

"Tell you, it's not me pouring cold water on you. I don't have much confidence in the travel market in the next two years. By the way, Tom, bring me a cup of coffee as soon as possible. I know you haven't slept yet."

Xi Xiaoding is always a guy who can surprise people.Even if the two live in the same apartment, and each other has the habit of sleeping without closing the door, that is to say, things that can be done with just one shout... He has to type it out in the chat room.

Seemingly influenced by Xi Xiaoding, Fei Tao also quickly typed in the chat room, "Brother Xiangzi, give me a drink too." and so on.

Dumbfounded by the request of Fei Tao who lived next door, Liu Xiang played a prank on Fei Tao who was nearly naked before returning to the chat room. It turned out that the ladies headed by Cao Yutong and Zhang Jiajia had already started Attacking someone's abnormal sexual orientation behavior.

"Silence! Silence! It's a meeting, be serious!" Liu Xiang typed quickly, feeling very depressed as he watched the flashing Guan news on the monitor. "Xiao Ding then said that if anyone swipes the screen again, I will have to silence him."

This move was really powerful, the chat room suddenly fell silent, only Xi Xiaoding's speeches flashed to the message area one by one.

"No confidence means no confidence, don't blame me for speaking irresponsibly, my alaya consciousness is very good." Xi Xiaoding said and added, "But it is not surprising that a miracle can be born in your hands. "

"Forget it, let me explain the reason." Yuan Ye, who had been guarding by the computer, interrupted suddenly.

"According to the statistics of the operation department, as of now, there are as many as 78 models of domestic tours. Among them, 32 models are being operated for a fee. Fourteen models are undergoing public beta and internal beta. The rest have been arranged for public beta and internal beta. This does not include those companies that are negotiating with the date of travel.”

"Currently, our market share has been further expanded after the release of Dream Bubble, a so-called 'free' casual game. Of course, this includes factors such as the decline of games such as Pokemon."

"Well, as of October, to be precise, our share accounted for 545%.

"However, in the games that have already charged, our share has reached a terrifying 73! That is to say, nearly three-quarters of the money in the current national game market has fallen into our pockets. These are good aspects."

"But... according to market analysis, in the next three years, China's games should reach an unprecedented three to four hundred models! Ants kill elephants... If you can't have a few games that absolutely dominate the market, you have to reach 30.00 % is indeed more difficult..."

Liu Xiang frowned.

Yuan Ye was right.Although the several games You are currently developing have market prospects, if you want to achieve a monopoly position, you still need to work hard.After all... there are too many uncertainties in this market.

"Unless we find a new operating model such as free? Otherwise, it will be really difficult to occupy one-third of the market share." Yuan Ye made a big smile, indicating that his speech was over.

After several seconds of silence, Xi Xiaoding spoke again.

"Yuan Ye, you said it's free? How come it's free?"

"Just like the operating model tailored by the Operations Department for Bubbles, we can adopt a free game in the game, but charge props. For example, you must use point cards to purchase certain equipment and materials, such as using charge props. To double the experience or enter the advanced practice area, etc..."

"Of course, I know Mr. Liu will definitely not do this. So the operation department is still looking for a new operating model, and strives to achieve both profitability and market share."

……

Seeing Yuan Ye's speech, Liu Xiang smiled.

Yes.The free mode was handed over to the operation department by Liu Xiang for discussion as early as when Dream Bubble was finished.After several days of discussions by the Operations Department, Liu Xiang was finally presented with the current operating model of BNB: free games and fee-based props.At the same time, Yuan Ye also enthusiastically put forward another suggestion, suggesting that Youri's games can also be operated in this way to gain popularity and profit.

This surprised Liu Xiang at the time!At the same time, it also made him start to examine Yuan Ye's potential again.

It is no exaggeration to say that after a few years, those games under the banner of free will be much faster and more direct than paid games in terms of grabbing urgent money. Using "money grabbing" to describe these games is extremely appropriate!This also proves from the side that killing the chicken and picking the eggs is always the easiest way to get the harvest.
