Chapter 250 Of course, you have to find a reason for such a big event as a game
Shengjing, No. 8, Shandian Street, Shandian District, 11th Floor, Huagang International Building, Huaku Video Headquarters.
A middle-aged man with rectangular black-framed glasses and a sexy mustache paced around the room.
He held a document tightly in his hand. He pressed it with such force, and even his finger joints were a little white.
Finally, he stopped, slapped the documents on his desk, and then looked at the front of the desk: "What do you think of the explanation?"
His voice became louder, with a suppressed anger: "Everyone said, how do I explain to the board of directors? How do I explain to the shareholders?"
Four people stood in front of the desk, all of whom were lowering their heads, looking at their noses and their noses, and none of them spoke.
The middle-aged man picked up the document and shook it, his voice mixed with angrily asking: "It's 2.4 billion yuan! The investment is 2.4 billion yuan, the top IP and two top online dramas created by first-line actors! So much investment! So many resources!"
The document was thrown back on the table: "Now you actually told me that after going online, traffic does not increase but decreases? Profits do not increase but decreases? Attention does not increase but decreases? How do you ask me to explain? How do you explain it?"
"This..." After a while, one of the four people said a little fat: "Mr. Wei, this is not something we can blame, there is nothing we can do about it."
After a pause, he explained in detail: "Our two films "Bring a Tank to the Harem" and "The Domineering CEO Somersault" are actually of excellent quality. Both the special effects and the actor's acting skills are remarkable, and the online reputation is also one-sided. The ratings on Douban Shang are above 7 points. They can be considered top in online dramas in recent years, and there is no problem with publicity strategy..."
He looked bitter: "Actually, it's still the blame for the Red Star Brand Good Dream Helmet. Since their second virtual reality game was launched, many players who used to play games have gone to bed very early. In addition, the sales of helmets have exceeded 2 million, which will inevitably have an impact on traditional Internet industries, and major website traffic is declining and profit declines are inevitable. For example, we have only dropped by about 8%, which is already considered good..."
"That's it?" the middle-aged man glared: "Does I go to tell the board that it's all the blame for the good dream helmet, so we got 240 million yuan and wasted? Do you think they will accept it?"
"There's nothing to do about this." One of the four people said, "It's not just our family, but other video websites have also suffered a lot of losses. Even the entire Internet industry has begun to have an overall downturn."
"Yes." Another person also said to the other person: "Have we taken apart the helmet and saw it? That virtual reality is completely black technology, and there is a national power behind it, which is not something we can fight against. At least among several video platforms, our losses are quite small. We can give the board a comparison picture, and I believe they will understand it."
"Actually, I think this is not a solution." One of the four people with a slightly gray hair said: "Now that Haomeng helmet has been laid for the first stage of the network, and can download new games. Although those virtual reality games that are only stand-alone for the time being, the attraction is obvious to everyone. "Taotie Pavilion" alone is extremely lethal. And it is not certain when other games will be launched, or even the second stage and third stage networks are laid...what should do if you can connect to the existing Internet at that time?"
"You know, this virtual reality room also has a TV, a computer room, and a computer sold. If you can watch TV in the virtual reality world, how many people will use our cool network in reality?"
"This is not a conflict, right?" Someone expressed his confusion: "Even if you are connected to the Internet, players can still use computers in the virtual reality world. We are so cool."
"Ha..." The gray-haired middle-aged man chuckled: "Who told you that the computer in virtual reality is the same as in reality? You will definitely be able to watch videos from us?"
He continued: "I wonder if you have ever entered the computer room in their virtual world. The computers in it are different from reality. They are similar to the fruit system. They all download software through the application store, but for the time being, there are only two computer games they produce themselves. What if they still do not provide web browsers after they are connected to the Internet, but only provide various application software for everyone to download?"
"What else can I do?" Someone still expressed his confusion: "No matter what, they don't have the ability to create so much video content by themselves. They have to cooperate with our video platforms. It's just similar to today's smartphones. We just need to release a virtual reality supporting APP..."
"Wait!" Mr. Wei, behind the desk, reached out and interrupted him: "I understand! What you mean, they may cooperate with video websites, but they may not be with us, right? Or, they are leaning behind the country, and maybe they can directly cooperate with the State Radio and Television Administration to watch TV? There is no regulation to find us? Besides, do they cooperate with any Internet company now? Have they taken the initiative to contact us? There is no news at all!"
"Yes, that's what I mean!" said the gray-haired middle-aged man: "Once they cooperate with the State Radio and Television Administration, they can provide video services. Even if they are just ordinary major TV stations, they will inevitably seriously hit our video websites! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a must-kill attack!"
"What do you mean?" Mr. Wei's voice was rarely serious.
"Only cooperation is the only way to achieve cooperation with them even if most of the profits are given up!" The gray-bearded middle-aged man firmly said: "Once the cooperation is reached, even if the financial statements are lost, I believe that in the face of the unlimited future, the board of directors will be very satisfied and the shareholders will be very satisfied."
Mr. Wei was convinced and gave a decisive order: "That's it, Lao Yang, you go to Pengcheng and discuss cooperation. I'll give you all the requirements! As long as you can reach cooperation, all the conditions will be easy to negotiate! Even if you pay all the advertising revenue, it will be easy to pay!"
For video websites, you can’t even eat by relying on member recharges alone. The revenue from various advertising is the big part of their profits, which shows that Mr. Wei is very determined.
Lao Yang, who had gray hair on the other side, nodded: "Okay, I'll book a plane ticket when I wait, and I'll go to Pengcheng tomorrow."
...
In the office of Tian'ang Company's president, Lao Tang was also making a report: "The preparations for the third batch of 175 branches have been basically completed and are expected to officially start business during the National Day. At present, the store planning has basically been laid throughout the country. At that time, the reception pressure of existing stores will be greatly alleviated. The fourth batch of stores is also under intense screening and preparation, and is expected to be officially launched in March and April after next year..."
"Due to the opening of the second batch of specialty stores and the launch of the second virtual reality game "Taotiege", our Red Star Brand Good Dream Helmet sales have exploded. There have been about 340,000 high-end helmets and about 2.12 million ordinary helmets. According to the current situation, it is expected to exceed 3.5 million by the end of the year..."
"The design of the company's headquarters building has been basically confirmed. The winning bid is the National Institute of Architecture. The construction project will officially start after next year and will be accepted by the China Construction Bureau First Bureau. The estimated construction period is three years..."
"In addition, now we are trying to contact us and want to reach cooperation, there are more and more Internet companies. Among them, several video platforms are most eager, such as Penguin Video, the three companies that are cool and hateful, and come to us every day, which is very annoying. Of course, what they say is nothing more than those, willing to give up profits, only willing to reach cooperation, and want to complement our virtual reality world..."
"Then how did you reply to them?" Li Ang asked.
"'We are just sleep assistive devices, and they have nothing to do with the virtual reality world. I don't know what you can cooperate with.' Such excuses." Old Tang shrugged: "But I think what they said is not wrong. Our two virtual reality games are still too monotonous. Let's not talk about "One Man's Isolated Island". If Taotie Pavilion can provide video functions and let players enjoy delicious food while watching videos, their attractiveness will inevitably increase! Of course, I also know that it is not the time. After all, virtual reality and the network connection between reality is too big..."
Li Ang nodded: "Well, I understand, you go down first."
Old Tang retreated, and Li Ang fell into deep thought again.
As a boss who has always been idle, Li Ang naturally has plenty of time to check the players' experiences and experiences online.
Among them, he has seen the view that "The game "Taotie Pavilion" is good, but if you keep eating, you will be a little bored."
There is no game in the world that is perfect. Even if you eat a fun game like "Taotiege", you will inevitably be monotonous and boring before you connect to the Internet.
Just like now, there are many people who eat in a small restaurant outside, while eating and watching with a mobile phone.
But connecting to the Internet is a big deal. Li Ang naturally can ignore it and provide various Internet content with the virtual reality world and existing Internet links.
However, this will also cause a huge blow to the existing Internet industry in an instant. At that time, I don’t know how many Internet companies will go bankrupt, how many practitioners will be laid off, and how many programmers will be left on the streets...
Therefore, at least for a few years, Li Ang did not intend to enable the "networking" function, but instead focused on making stand-alone games.
Even if it is open in the future, try to open up to the limit to reduce the impact on reality.
As for the boring problems that players mentioned in "Taotie Pavilion", he only has two solutions for the time being.
One is to release new games, and the other is to update old games.
