Chapter 388: Split the Pot
Qiu Bojun was very moved when he heard what Li Dongling said. Li Dongling personally invited Jinshan to establish a branch office in Hanxi Software Industrial Park, which means that future orders I'm afraid it is absolutely indispensable.
Jinshan is short of money. Even with the three million US dollars invested by Li Dongling, Kingsoft will always be short of money as long as it continues to fight with Microsoft.
When office software is not making money, Kingsoft has only two ways. The first way is to keep looking for investors, lower your posture and keep your body straight, and keep begging investors to throw money into Kingsoft.
The other way is to develop new businesses. This is what Kingsoft did in the previous life. Kingsoft PowerWord, Kingsoft Internet Security, Xishanju Games, e-commerce Joyo.com, etc. are all for making extra money to support those who are constantly burning money. Kingsoft Office Software, and established business.
It's just those businesses of Kingsoft that really make money, namely Kingsoft Internet Security, Xishanju Games, etc. Most of the rest are just for profit or selling themselves.
Now, the situation of Jinshan is actually the same. Therefore, neither Qiu Bojun nor Lei Jun have any objection to the cooperation proposed by Li Dongling, as long as it can earn R&D funds for Jinshan. , they all need to do it...
Qiu Bojun discussed a few words with Lei Jun in a low voice, "Jinshan is willing to establish a branch in Hanxi Software Industrial Park, but I don't know that this time Dongling Hi-Tech, what project are you cooperating with Kingsoft? ”
“Donngling Hi-Tech is going to launch a new product, and I hope Kingsoft can develop supporting software, games, etc. for this product!”
As soon as these words came out, not only Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun, but also Ren Yuefeng, Huxian, and Gao Peng all looked over.
Although Dongling Hi-Tech has hired many professional managers and established a modern management system, the real person at the helm is still Li Dongling, especially in new projects.
Li Dongling proposed a new project, and then Ren Yuefeng and a group of Dongling Hi-Tech executives and department heads completed the project and developed the product.
In the eyes of professional managers, this model of a company being tied to the founder is definitely unscientific and the risk is too high. After all, one mistake by the founder can bring down the entire company. Into the ditch.
But similarly, if the founder can steer the ship in the right direction, he can make the whole ship ride the wind and waves, surpass his opponents at an amazing speed, and with a completely unreasonable attitude, within a few years, After visiting other companies, it takes ten years or eight years to reach the goal.
Dongli Hi-tech belongs to the latter. Even for Ren Yuefeng, it sometimes feels unscientific, but so far, Dongling Hi-tech has never failed under the projects launched by Li Dongling. Every new project, All of these allow Tanglin Hi-Tech to take a further step!
Now, Li Dongling asked, how can Ren Yuefeng and others not pay attention to Dongling Hi-tech's new products next year? This means that Dongling Hi-tech may have another hot product next year, and its strength will increase a lot.
If Donglin Hi-tech launches an electronic dictionary, it will definitely need to launch a variety of functions, as well as the most critical game functions, which require development and upgrades by the software team.
Donngling Hi-Tech can also develop it by itself, but the development team at Jinshan is definitely a bit stronger. In the previous life, Xiaomi mobile phone was the first to become famous, but it was its system, although it was based on Android. However, its operating performance, coupled with its sales price, almost beats many domestic mobile phones.
The first version of the Xiaomi system was built by Lei Jun and five people in two months.
Even though MiLiao ended in vain, it was the first social product to appear on smartphones, but it was defeated by another social product that appeared just 40 days after it. Otherwise, domestic social software It’s really hard to say what the industry structure is like. How good Rebus’s software development skills are, we can get a glimpse of it...
With Lei Jun, Qiu Bojun, and a team of Jinshan personnel developing software for Dongling Hi-Tech, Li Dongling felt at ease. If he found another development team, he might not be able to work as well as them and spend less money.
Dongguan Hi-tech also needs Jinshan as an ally, which can develop as soon as possible and bear the pressure for Tanglin Hi-tech. There will be a lot of projects in the future, and Jinshan will be the ally to develop for Tanglin Hi-tech.
“Developing games?”
Lei Jun said in surprise, then he looked at Qiu Bojun a little embarrassed, coughed and said, “There is no game development here in Jinshan. experience, and no professional game development talents..."
"No It will be natural to develop more games. There are not many talents in this field in China now. Jinshan can be the first to take advantage of it. What if it makes money?" Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun looked at each other indifferently for a while. He said that they felt that Li Dongling seemed to be better than them and believed that Kingsoft could excel in the gaming industry.
“Donngling Hi-Tech can jointly establish a game studio with Kingsoft to test the development of domestic games. Tianya Company can also join. Dongling Hi-Tech will invest 5 million yuan in the game studio. Occupying 65%, Kingsoft Technology will invest in 35% of the shares!”
Li Dongling said to Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun that games are the most important thing in the Internet era, whether it is the PC Internet era or the smartphone era! There is no such thing as a profitable business.
In the previous life, Kingsoft relied on the games developed by Xishanju many times to survive. Even if Kingsoft goes public in the future, investors will be most concerned about the game brand Xishanju, not its office software business. Although it sounds embarrassing, it is true.
Xishanju is well-known, but if it enters the online and mobile gaming industries early, it may not have the chance to become a gaming giant like NetEase.
As for the era when major Internet companies are emerging, the most profitable businesses of each major Internet manufacturer are two. The first is advertising fees, and the second is the game business.
This is not only true in China, but also for overseas Internet manufacturers and the e-commerce industry. These two businesses are the only ones that can monetize traffic.
Lei Jun and Qiu Bojun looked at each other, and both of them were obviously a little moved. Now that Kingsoft has no obvious advantage over Microsoft, the more money they make in other aspects, the better for Kingsoft. A protracted war will be more beneficial.
Kingsoft has actually figured out that in the computer industry, which is inseparable from Microsoft systems, it will not be easy to defeat Office that has entered the country with Microsoft systems. The war between the two sides cannot be completely determined by a single win or loss.
Establishing a game studio, Dongling Hi-tech invests, and Jinshan hires people to develop it. This is also an attempt for Jinshan. If it makes money, it will be another revenue for Jinshan. It’s better than running around to say good things to investors and plead for investment.
"Jinshan is willing to give it a try, but it may not work!"
Qiu Bojun said to Li Dongling, asking Li Dongling to be prepared to waste the money invested. After all, developing games is such a thing. This is also the first time to play in Jinshan. Not to mention Jinshan, I probably have little experience in the whole country.
"Fangzheng is also willing to join in the fun. If Li and Bojun don't mind, then Fangzheng is also willing to invest in the game studio!" Zhang Yufeng said at this time.
When Li Dongling heard this, he looked at Zhang Yufeng. When he saw Zhang Yufeng's face was smiling, he seemed to be just preparing to follow suit.
But looking at Zhang Yufeng, there was a flash of light in his eyes. It was obvious that Zhang Yufeng did not propose this on a whim.
Zhang Yufeng doesn't know whether the game studio can succeed, but Dongling Hi-Tech, the leader in the domestic technology industry, and the strongest company in the domestic software industry, the two companies joining forces are enough to make people imagine, Zhang Yufeng If you are willing to take a gamble, it only costs a few million. For Fang Zheng now, it can only be regarded as a small investment.
The people present were not only Zhang Yufeng. Upon seeing this, the iron teacher Yu Minhong also said, "In addition to New Oriental, everyone has voted. New Oriental cannot be weaker than others, isn't it? Game Studio If we lose, New Oriental will admit it!”
Seeing this, Li Dongling had to sigh, Zhang Yufeng and Yu Minhong are really two good people. They may not know how much this investment will do, but in the future, But you may get unexpected huge profits because of this investment!
Li Dongling looked at Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun and saw that they had no objection to the joining of Founder and New Oriental. They even thought that with the addition of one more company, the risks could be shared. The feeling of being divided.
