040th Dusty Gold
Wei Dongsheng had interacted with Lu Binqi in his past life before, so he had a basic knowledge of him.
During the meal, Jing Minqiang guided Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei to communicate with Wei Dongsheng. They discussed how Spring and Autumn Network Technology Corporation would develop in the future, and discussed how would operate in the future. Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei were both executive type talents. They had expected that they would oppose the concept of free online games, but they were willing to obey Wei Dongsheng's orders.
There was no other way around it. The "Free Game Mode" of Hwa Country's online gaming industry had been conquered by future generations. In 2002, there was no market at all. The game industry had just used online games to get out of the pirated version of the game, who would dare to imagine a free mode of operation? The era's background was limited, the 2002 online recharge channel was not perfect yet and the cost of the physical recharge card was relatively high. It was very difficult for Operator to rely on a tenth or a hundredth of the players to make huge profits.
Jing Minqiang also did not like the free game mode.
However, Jing Minqiang favored Wei Dongsheng, if he wanted to play with him, Wei Dongsheng could do so. After all, had used up all his own money. When Wei Dongsheng hit his head till it bled, Jing Minqiang would then speak out his opinion. Jing Minqiang's way of thinking for investment were actually very similar to Wei Dongsheng's, they were both: "I will give my opinion, if you don't want to listen, I will shut my mouth. If the future proves that you are wrong, then I apologize. If the future proves that you are wrong, then I am right. Apologize to me. "
Every time you shut up, it was actually to bet with you.
Wei Dongsheng had won the bet, the winner should not be criticized, everything was fine, but if Wei Dongsheng lost the bet, the situation would instantly reverse, and Jing Minqiang would interfere and restrict him at all times.
Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei had watched the free game competition from the bottom of their hearts, but they respected and trusted Jing Minqiang's judgement. As such, they kept their opinions to their hearts and carried out Wei Dongsheng's orders as the qualified executors. With Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei's competent support, Wei Dongsheng was able to quickly create a situation in the Yanjing.
On December 13, 2002, Wei Dongsheng officially registered with Yanjing Spring and Autumn Network Co., Ltd., and Yanjing Spring and Autumn Software Co.
> was a game that was currently unable to be evaluated accurately. If the value was too low, Wei Dongsheng would be unwilling to give it away to him and Huo Yongshan. If it was able to reach a value of 20 million or even 100 million before it was proven that it was capable of trapping money, then Wei Dongsheng's greed for the 10 million shares that he gave Jing Minqiang would become a joke.
Instead of this dilemma, we might as well split the ownership and operating rights of "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms".
Spring and Autumn Software (Yanjing Spring and Autumn Software Co., Ltd.), a developer, owned by Wei Dongsheng alone. It had all the copyright of . Afterwards, the Spring and Autumn Software signed a contract with the Spring and Autumn Network Co., Ltd., transferring the inland operation rights of the Hwa Country to the Ten Countries' Spring and Autumn Network Co., Ltd.
In this way, the valuation of "Ten Kingdoms" was avoided.
At the same time, in order to guarantee its own benefits, the operating rights transfer agreement of "Ten Kingdoms' Spring and Autumn" was very biased towards the Spring and Autumn Software, which was controlled solely by Wei Dongsheng. According to the agreement, Spring and Autumn Network has to pay 5 million yuan in advance for copyright tax to make up for the development of "Ten Kingdoms' Spring and Autumn 's Spring and Autumn". After the official operation, 30% of the sales rate has to be paid every month on time.
A simple example.
After the official operation of "Ten Kingdoms Spring and Autumn", if the total sales amount is 10,000 yuan, of which 3,000 yuan is transferred to the Spring and Autumn Software Account. The rest of the seven thousand was divided between the Spring and Autumn Kingdom, without considering the various operating expenses and taxes. Since Wei Dongsheng accounted for 62.7%, of the three, three hundred and eighty-nine were obtained by Wei Dongsheng. This way, Wei Dongsheng would be able to get 7389 yuan out of the total sales price of 10,000 yuan, which was the same as secretly raising the shares to 73.89%.
These little tricks, could not be hidden from Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei, much less from Jing Minqiang.
But they didn't care.
Other than Wei Dongsheng, no one was optimistic about the free game format, nor was there anyone that was optimistic about .
Who would spy on worthless things?
Fortunately, Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei were still competent enough to work together on the Spring and Autumn Network and Spring and Autumn Software to orderly recruit new employees. At the same time, Wei Dongsheng deeply understood that his true true strength was in his own strength. He borrowed Jing Minqiang's strength to swiftly stabilize the Yanjing, but he would not be able to rely on Jing Minqiang forever. During the establishment of Spring and Autumn Network and Spring and Autumn Software, Wei Dongsheng made full use of his previous life's vision to dig out the elites that had not risen up yet.
As mentioned before, in his previous life, the Tencent Sect Leader was not Ma Huateng, the Alibaba Sect Leader was not Ma Yun, and the Baidu Sect Leader was not Li Yanhong. The Sect Leader had changed, as had many of his important elders. Many of the famous figures of his past life had remained silent at the bottom of the Internet.
This was Wei Dongsheng's chance.
Kang Yonghe, one of the Tencent Eighteen Tiger Generals in his previous life, was an old dog at Goose Factory.
Chang Mingxia, one of the Tencent Eighteen Tiger Generals in his past life, is a graceful white swan.
Ye Youhang, in his previous life he was one of the Seven Arhats of Alibaba.
Sun Ming learned from his previous life and was one of Baidu's Five Swordsman, nicknamed the Blue Lotus Sword Immortal.
Lei Family Fei was one of Baidu's Five Swordsman in his previous life, nicknamed Quick Sword Hoodlum.
In his previous life, these five people were all famous big shots, but maybe it was because of the butterfly effect, or maybe it was because of other factors, they were all deeply buried in the earth. For example, in his previous life, Kang Yonghe was a standard among software architects who crossed platforms. At this moment, he had become a lonely customer service provider. Another example was Chang Mingxia. In her past life, she had single-handedly revived the game department of Tencent. In just three short years, she had brought Tencent to China First, the savior of the China First.
These buried elites, Wei Dongsheng had them all in his bag.
Considering that they were not familiar with their strengths yet, Kang Yonghe was not familiar with the software structure, and Chang Mingxia did not understand how to run the game, Wei Dongsheng set up an assistant group and appointed all of them as assistants, guiding them towards the field that they were proficient in.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Two new companies are quickly taking shape.
Free online games and paid online games had two completely different ways of playing, so « World of Warcraft » definitely didn't need to be considered. The opposite was also true, « Journey to the Traveling » definitely wouldn't allow five free players to gang up and kill a Star player that was worth 100,000 yuan.
These differences must be clearly defined when planning a game.
As a result, the concept of free online games could not be hidden until the very last moment. They had to say it out loud in advance to let the staff understand Wei Dongsheng's thoughts clearly, and to let them know the necessity of using certain mechanisms in order to optimize the results that Wei Dongsheng wanted.
In order to unify their thoughts, Wei Dongsheng gathered dozens of employees from both companies, giving speeches for free online gaming prospects. Wei Dongsheng stood at the rostrum, looking around at Lu Binqi, Hu Shifei and the other employees: "Many employees are questioning the future of this free online game, or conclude that it has no future, or that it is as reliable as the others. Today, I'm not going to talk about the benefits of a free online game model. I'm going to tell you a small story. "
Wei Dongsheng looked around at the group of Programmer and called out one of their names: "Lan Xiao Quan, I remember that your last company was Netease?"
Lan Xiao Quan: "Yes. I left Ying Xiang and went to the Netease, and very soon, I transferred to Project 3d, which was a mess. I didn't know what to do, and I wasn't even sure what to do with the technical plan. Not willing to waste my life there, I resigned and returned back to the Yanjing, just in time for us to expand our recruitment. "
Wei Dongsheng: "Are you familiar with the Netease s' western style travel project?"
"I spent a very short period of time on the western tour," he said. "I was transferred to Project 3d without getting to know my colleagues."
Wei Dongsheng gestured for Lan Xiao Quan to sit down: "Since Comrade Lan Xiao Quan is not familiar with the black history of the Netease s' grand tour, then let me talk about it. When the big story went on the market, Zhi Guan, who worked together with the agent Zhi Guan to help Netease promote the big story, actually had to pay a portion of the rights fee to the Netease. Look, if someone else helps you promote it, they'll charge him a copyright fee instead. We can't call the Netease stupid. This was in 2001, just over the past year, and everyone should remember the rules of the market at that time. In fact, other than 'Gossip to the West' and other online games such as' Jin Yong Qun's Legend of the Heroic Onlines.' Each client will be matched with a cd-key. You are not allowed to activate the game without a cd-key.
"Online games are sold as stand-alone games, we can't call this mode stupid. Because the system works well in Europe and the United States, in the European and American markets, some games not only require clients to spend money, but players also have to pay for new versions of the game every time the game is updated. However, Europe and the United States are Europe and the United States, Hwa Country is the Hwa Country, Europe and the United States have their own environment, and Hwa Country has its own unique characteristics, you must definitely not try to take on the network game industry in Europe and the United States with your own success experiences. "
"Why is' Legend 'so popular?"
"The core reason is that the Enormous Network has broken her mindset and no longer views online games as a business opportunity. To promote online games such as "Big Words Game", the agents would have to pay for the rights to the game; to promote "Legend", the Enormous Network would have to pay for the rights to the game. With your own heart, I ask you all, if you were to switch positions and think from the perspective of a channel merchant, who would you be willing to cooperate with? "
