Chapter 389 Bringing Goods
After meeting Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun, they also agreed to let Founder and New Oriental Company join the game studio to share risks. Li Dongling did not refuse anymore. As for whether Jinshan will do so in the future Regret is not something Li Dongling needs to consider.
The entry of Founder and New Oriental will give the game studio an additional sales channel and two more investors to invest money.
Developing games is very expensive. As for whether they can recover their investment, it all depends on luck. If Founder and New Oriental cannot survive, Tanglin Hi-tech can just buy back the equity of their game studios. If they want to They have many means to drive them away, it just depends on whether they need it...
Even if the game business is not for the electronic dictionary business now, Tianya.com will have to deal with it sooner or later. Early Internet companies, no What else can you rely on to make a living from games?
Regarding the equity of the game studio, Kingsoft, Founder, and New Oriental did not have too much dispute. After all, no one knew whether the game studio could succeed. Qiu Bojun, Lei Jun, Zhang Yufeng, and Yu Minhong all had the attitude of giving it a try. , not too serious.
After a long discussion, several companies in the entire game studio jointly invested 10 million yuan. A game company of this size is already a big deal in the current domestic game industry.
Dongli Hi-Tech invested 6 million and took 60% of the equity. Kingsoft still invested in technology and got 27% of the equity. Founder got 10%. New Oriental became a small shareholder, holding 3% of the equity. .
“Cheers!”
After the game studio agreement was reached, everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
When talking about the equity of the game studio just now, a few people were not serious, but when it came to the name of the game studio, they became serious. The most important people were Zhang Yufeng and Yu Minhong. They were the ones who cared about face the most. They wanted to use Founder and New Oriental. to name the studio and add some gimmicks.
Li Dongling and Ren Yuefeng didn't say anything. In fact, which company's name is on the game brand has little impact on Dongling Hi-Tech.
Of course, if the game is well developed, then players may recognize this brand. If it is produced by so-and-so, it must be a high-quality product, and it may be praised to the sky.
But if the game developed is delayed or has a sequel, the players will pick it up, but it will be very fierce. Not only will they scold the game manufacturer, but even the parent company will scold them...< br>
The most direct ones are the football and e-sports industries. The teams and parent companies of these two competitive industries will basically be giant companies in the future. When the results are good, they can indeed bring huge traffic, but if If they lose the game, the parent company will be affected.
Just like the LNG team lost to the Bangzi T1 team, the live broadcast room where Li Ning sells products was criticized and was taken off the air. The market value dropped by 2 billion. Even the LPL league the following year suffered a sharp drop in ratings and sponsorship because of this game. Businessmen withdraw from the market, and the bleakness is evident.
"How about calling it Xishanju?"
Seeing that Zhang Yufeng and Yu Minhong were arguing, Qiu Bojun said at this time and proposed another name for the game studio, but did not use Jinshan's name.
Change the name, and the game studio will not have to worry about which company to use the name of the four major shareholders.
"Western Mountain Residence?"
Hearing the name proposed by Qiu Bojun, Zhang Yufeng pondered it for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "What does it mean?"
"In my hometown, there is a village called Xishan Village!" Qiu Bojun was honest. said.
Hearing this name, Zhang Yufeng and Yu Minhong were speechless for a moment, but they could not refute.
“Let’s just name it. From now on, the game studio will be called Xishanju!”
Li Dongling smiled and decided to name the game studio. Choose this name, Dongling Hi-Tech, Founder , Kingsoft, New Oriental, there is no need to argue anymore.
Zhang Yufeng and Yu Minhong both shook their heads and laughed helplessly, then raised their glasses and touched Qiu Bojun.
“The development of Xishanju games will be handled by Jinshan in the future. It can be developed by itself. In addition, it can also be introduced overseas and be an agent for games from Baodao, Bangzi, Gangcheng, Nippon and other places, and publish them domestically!”
Li Dongling said to Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun that life in Xishan Residence in his previous life could not be said to be bad. It once became the domestic stand-alone game Bai Yueguang in the minds of countless players, and they are still fond of it many years later. And countless players have indeed supported Xishanju with real money.
Like the first generation of Swordsman Love, in the game desert era, it sold for 128 yuan, and sold 25,000 copies of the game. That was 128 yuan in the 1990s, and it faced piracy and cracking. It was able to gain the real-money support of more than 20,000 players under the pressure of version 2. When it came to Swordsman Love 2, it even achieved a sales volume of more than 200,000 units, which shows how popular it is.
The popularity of this kind of stand-alone game will probably wait until a few decades later. When domestic stand-alone games are completely useless and completely heartbreaking, the appearance of Black Myth Wukong, the pre-sale price of 50 in five days Only with a sales volume of 90,000 units can the 3A stand-alone craze start again in China. Fortunately, Xishanju has Swordsman Love. Unfortunately, it has tried so many games, and only Swordsman Love has become a success. Whether it is PC games, online games, or mobile games, the only one that can play is this IP...
On the contrary, other game manufacturers, whether they are self-developed games or agent games, are all prosperous. They earn more from selling skins in half a year than the brand Swordsman Love has made in twenty years combined. .
Li Dongling supports Xishanju to develop its own games and even develop 3D engines. After all, Dongxin Semiconductor will also get involved in the graphics card industry in the future. In the early days of the graphics card industry, games were used to bring goods. In the digital currency Before the emergence of industries such as mining, supercomputers, and artificial intelligence computing power, the only thing graphics cards could rely on was games.
Huang Piyi relied on his sword skills to cut down Nvidia, the company with the highest market value in the world, and almost cut down Intel and Microsoft, which had been suppressing him for more than ten years. We cannot allow Lao Huang to be more beautiful than before, Dongxin Semiconductor must join in the fun.
As for Xishanju, self-developed games are fine, but the game must be represented by an agent. By taking the strengths of hundreds of companies, Xishanju can cut more leeks. No, it is specialized in 1. Make up for the shortcomings!
Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun will naturally not object to Li Dongling's words. At present, domestic games are in a desert. Apart from the Microsoft system and a few small games that come with them, the rest are basically imported from overseas.
Domestic games have not even started yet. Xishanju is one of the few game companies in the country that has begun to try to take advantage of others. The dispute between domestically produced and agent games does not exist at all. Everyone is still exploring. .
"Brother Li, next month, Fang Zheng will go to Hong Kong City to ring the bell. You must be there!"
When the show was over, Zhang Yufeng grabbed Li Dongling. He came here this time. , in addition to participating in the groundbreaking ceremony, the most important thing is to personally invite Li Dongling to Hong Kong City to participate in Founder's bell ringing for listing.
Founder's stock price is what worries Zhang Yufeng now, and Li Dongling has just been rumored by the media to become one of the twenty richest people in Asia.
As a company invested by the top 20 richest people in Asia, and also the third largest shareholder, whether Founder can take the opportunity to attract the attention of Hong Kong and overseas investors, and whether it can increase the stock price, is what Zhang Yufeng is most concerned about. .
Li Dongling pondered for a moment. Zhang Yufeng couldn't help but feel a little better when he saw this. If Li Dongling didn't participate in the founder's bell-ringing ceremony, then the publicity he prepared would be weaker.
“I will definitely support Founder’s listing, but this time the listing will still be dominated by Brother Zhang and Academician Wang. It’s enough for me to just play a supporting role, and I can’t overwhelm you!”
< br>Li Dongling looked at Zhang Yufeng, but he also reminded him that it is okay to take advantage of the situation, but going too far is not enough. Li Dongling did not want to endorse Founder. If its stock price fell, all the investors would find Dongling Hi-tech, which would be trouble.
“I understand!”
Zhang Yufeng was in a good mood. He didn't know if he took Li Dongling's reminder to heart, but with Li Dongling around, he felt that Fang Zhengzheng would definitely become the focus of the Hong Kong stock market.
Looking at Zhang Yufeng's figure, Li Dongling shook his head. He felt that Zhang Yufeng was a little eager for quick success and placed too much emphasis on Founder's stock price and market value. This cannot be said to be a bad thing, but if you attach too much importance to these, sometimes It will be a mess.
As for going to Hong Kong City, it is not just to participate in Fang Zheng’s bell-ringing ceremony. In fact, this can only be regarded as a trivial matter. Ning Wenke in Hong Kong City has also invited Li Dongling several times. In addition, there are Other matters are waiting for Li Dongling to deal with.
Whether you are dealing with Soros coming to Asia to harvest leeks, or following the Li family in the port city to make a fortune on Orange Telecom in England, you need to start planning in advance. If you are late, what will you eat? Not as hot as it gets.
……
As the end of the year approaches, major companies are basically checking accounts, holding meetings, summarizing, and formulating plans for next year, and Dongling Hi-Tech is no exception. Even though Li Dongling doesn't like bringing a lot of people together to argue, it should be held Meetings are also indispensable.
Donggin High-tech in particular has just established a budget management committee this year. Next year, funding applications for all major departments and companies under Donglin High-tech will have to be reviewed and approved by the budget management committee.
Just like the technical department, they have to apply for next year's funding. This year they have to budget out the approximate funding for the projects to be developed next year. If it exceeds the budget, it doesn't mean that they won't get funding, but it can't be too outrageous. A project with a budget of 50 million yuan ended up exceeding the target by ten times, so there must be something wrong.
During this period, Dongling Hi-Tech has been having constant meetings of various sizes, which has also caused the heads of various departments, as well as the managers of offices and branches in various parts of the country, and even overseas supervisors, to start rushing to the country one after another. This makes Dongling High-tech Headquarters and even Pingyang have become a bit more lively.
The hotels in Yuhe Leisure Resort were packed with people. The better hotels and guest houses in Pingyang city were also full of people. These executives came back to Pingyang and were not alone. Many of them are bringing their families with them and are planning to celebrate the New Year in Pingyang and Hanxi.
After all, these supervisors may meet with Ren Yuefeng, Huxian, Gao Peng, Zhang Ao, Chen Tao and other people who can determine their destiny all year round. Of course, the most important thing is Li Dongling. Who wants to miss it?
