Chapter 444 Making Money Is Also an Art

A seven-foot boy was crying so loudly just a second before his eyes, which makes people feel sad.

In the next second, he slapped the table and said this, Wu Tao knew very well that he probably couldn't believe it.

But as a boss, let every subordinate have the opportunity to speak freely, which is the most basic right that a leader bestows on his subordinates.

So Wu Tao didn't go deep into the argument of "Are you crazy?", but stretched out his hand to say, "Please start your performance."

Qiu Xiaotian put Xiao Xiaotian's photo away first, then brushed his ecstatic long hair and said: "As far as I know, Blizzard Entertainment has accepted an acquisition from Davidson & Associates since its establishment. In the end, it’s a win-win.”

"...Afterwards, Blizzard Entertainment acquired the Condor company, making it even more powerful, with a group of software R&D elites!"

"...Currently, under the impact of the Internet bubble in the United States, Blizzard Entertainment is also deeply sympathetic. I think they will not reject the plan of mergers and acquisitions, as long as the price is right."

At this point, Qiu Xiaotian paused, Wu Tao nodded, "You continue."

Qiu Xiaotian understood that this meant he didn't like it, so he changed the subject: "If the acquisition is not feasible, in fact, we can also establish an Asian agency company to promote Blizzard Entertainment's games and gradually get involved in video games. field."

"...And these two ideas can establish our own game company in a short period of time, and get familiar with the operation process of the game company as soon as possible, so as to make full preparations for the development of our own games."

After saying that, Qiu Xiaotian drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp.

Wu Tao nodded. He could see that it was not easy for the beauty-hater who had always advertised himself as an artist to be able to say so much today.

After all, as an artist, I used to despise these secular means of operation.

Now, in just over half a year, I have come into contact with and learned about so many company operation methods, which is really a great improvement.

Therefore, Wu Tao did not make rash assertions, so as not to dampen the enthusiasm of the other party.

"I am very happy to see the acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment, because I am very optimistic about the future of video games. On the other hand, video games are also a big springboard for us to get involved in the Internet industry in the future."

At this point, Qiu Xiaotian suddenly interrupted: "Wait, boss, I don't understand. What is the relationship between video games and the Internet industry, and how can they become a big springboard?"

Wu Tao took a sip of his coffee and pondered: "The fun of video games lies not only in the freshness of the game itself, but also in the tension of competitive confrontation. The Internet platform is a necessary medium to develop this kind of competitive confrontation to the entire network." .”

"...When the time comes, every game player will be able to fight against other game players from all over the world. In the battle, learn skills, improve the fun of the game, and even communicate with different ethnic cultures. This is a video game Where the greatest playability lies.”

As soon as the voice fell, Qiu Xiaotian slapped his thigh and said: "No wonder Blizzard Entertainment is trying their best to promote an online server called 'Battle.net'. These days, I have never understood it. After you said that, it turns out that the trick lies in here."

"...But for the acquisition of the company, I need a professional to cooperate with me to start the work. So, boss, you have to send me someone."

Wu Tao waved his hand and said, "No hurry, you will see her soon."

"Really?" Qiu Xiaotian also looked unbelievable. After all, listening to Huatou, it seemed that Wu Tao had thought of everything in front of his head.

But only he knew that the idea of ​​acquiring Blizzard Entertainment was simply his whim.

It would be too scary if the young man in front of him wanted everything in front of his head.

I have to obey!

Sure enough, success is never easy.

Strategy, vision, and even the control of subordinates are indispensable.

Wu Tao looked at his watch and said, "She'll be here in twenty minutes."

Qiu Xiaotian couldn't help being a little thirsty, so he drank another cup of coffee to calm himself down, and his mood gradually calmed down.

In the team of my boss, two large companies with assets of over 100 million have been born, and it is not uncommon to have some elites under their command.

It's just that after more than half a year of practice, it's still a question of whether I can join this group of operators.

For a moment, Qiu Xiaotian felt a lot of pressure.

The previous chattering, reckless courage disappeared, and the whole person became much more low-key, and began to ask questions without shame.

"Then boss, if the acquisition fails, what do you think of the way to set up an agency company?"

Wu Tao clasped his hands together and said, "Actually, I am more inclined to the idea of ​​establishing an agency company than the idea of ​​acquiring Blizzard Entertainment. But to go this way, two key points need to be settled."

Hearing this, Qiu Xiaotian immediately took out a pen and paper and began to record.

God knows how he survived this period of study in the beautiful days, who knows nothing about English.

But it is undeniable that some good habits are being formed. For example, "a good memory is not as good as a bad pen", "throwing bricks to attract jade" and so on.

"The first point is how to convince Blizzard Entertainment to agree to this form of cooperation."

"The second point is how to establish new profit points while promoting video games in China, where the audience of video games is the largest."

After Qiu Xiaotian finished writing, he couldn't help but start to wonder, "I understand the first point you said, but the second point really doesn't make sense. Could it be that China's local profit point is different from other countries and regions? ?"

For this question, Wu Tao only said four words, "Copyright Awareness."

Chou Xiaotian also understood a little bit, and he understood it in an instant. He felt empathetic at the moment and said: "That's right, the current StarCraft genuine game costs hundreds of dollars each. This is indeed a luxury in China. Rarely Some people are willing to spend a month's salary for a game."

"...But besides the profit point of selling genuine games, are there any new profit points that can be considered?"

Wu Tao smiled, knocked on the table and said, "Chinese people are unwilling to pay for the genuine version of a game, does that mean they are unwilling to pay for any function of the game?"

Speaking of this, Qiu Xiaotian was completely confused and couldn't follow his train of thought at all.

"Obviously not!" Wu Tao tapped the table rhythmically and said, "It's like the routine in many tourist areas in China, free photos, no money for bad looks!"

"...As soon as they heard this slogan, many people couldn't help taking pictures. Anyway, it doesn't look good and doesn't cost money. But after the photos were cleaned up on the spot, many people's psychology changed immediately. After all, if you come for a trip, don't leave a souvenir. It's such a pity."

Qiu Xiaotian's brows brightened when he heard this, "I understand. What you mean is that the payment link can be set in the game according to the consumption habits of Chinese players. Once you enter the game, you will get more and more trapped without knowing it. Deep, involuntarily started to pay."

"That's right!" Wu Tao sighed, remembering the popularity of Blizzard Entertainment's games in China in his previous life, he couldn't help but sigh: "Since ancient times, affection can't be kept, the most popular way is routine!"

Qiu Xiaotian slapped his thigh, "Incisive, it's so incisive! No wonder you can be the boss, we can only be employees. Making money is also an art. For the routine of taking pictures of tourist attractions, you can think of video games in China. I am so impressed with the brand-new local profit point.”

"...So you are an artist, an artist who really knows how to make money!"
