Create a great era of e-sports

At first glance, Lao Ma is an ordinary person, often even a bit wretched, but after learning about his industry, net worth, and fortune-making experience, the wretchedness disappears in an instant, and the aura of a business tycoon emerges, showing the aura of a big shot.

Mo Yu's trip to Alibaba was originally because of ZFB's access to the game. He didn't expect to see Lao Ma. He just expressed his wish to meet him, but he never expected that Lao Ma actually showed up. , completely beyond his expectation.

"Mr. Ma, I have long admired your name!"

Facing such a senior businessman, Mo Yu bowed slightly, took the initiative to lower his posture, and put a smile on his face, giving him enough face.

Lao Ma also behaved very gently, leading him to sit down, and even made tea himself, and the two chatted.

"Mr. Mo is really young and promising. Lao Ni said that there is a popular game that wants to be connected to ZFB. I was curious, but I didn't expect it to be you." Lao Ma said with a smile.

Mo Yu was surprised when he heard this: "Mr. Ma knows about me?"

Lao Ma doesn't make games, and the company's size is ridiculously large. There is almost no interaction with him. Mo Yu didn't expect Lao Ma to know him.

With a smooth operation, Lao Ma put the brewed hot tea in front of Mo Yu: "Of course, the most popular online game in China created an Internet live broadcast platform for the first time and proposed the world's unique e-sports concept. He was only 26 years old. A 20-year-old game company boss, with such a big name, I naturally heard about him."

Mo Yu said modestly: "I didn't expect that a junior like me could fall into your ears, Mr. Ma. I'm so flattered!"

"Hahaha, you are too humble." Lao Ma waved his hand and said: "When I was your age, I was just a teacher with no name and no bright future. But you are able to achieve such great achievements. It is simply formidable. , young people should have the energy to make progress, being too modest will lead to inferiority. If I had achieved what you have achieved now at the age of 26, I would look at people through my nostrils when I go out, and no one would take me seriously."

Mo Yu shook his head: "If you are full of losses, you will benefit from humility. Determination is determination. When it is time to hide your edge, you must hide your edge."

Lao Ma thought for a while, nodded slightly and said: "What you said makes sense. I have my own opinions. It's a bit forceful for me to say this. Forget it, let's not talk about it. I heard that you came here this time to work in the company. Fully integrated into ZFB? How come you have this idea?"

"ZFB is now used for TB online shopping. In addition, you are also the first person to connect ZFB. What? The existing ZF method does not work?"

Mo Yu picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It was slightly bitter but sweet, and the taste was mellow.

"Actually, that's not necessarily the case. The existing ZF method and ZFB's ZF method do not actually exist in terms of who is more convenient and who is better. I am just more optimistic about ZFB's future."

"Oh?" Lao Ma was very interested when he heard this: "Tell me what you think."

Mo Yu pondered for a few seconds, thinking about how to organize the words.

In his previous life, he saw an interesting story:

ZFB was created for two reasons.

One is that when TB was founded, the money Ali received contained a lot of 10 cents, 50 cents, and 1 yuan coins, which was difficult to count and troublesome to store. That's why we created ZFB. The money turned into numbers and went directly into the bank account, saving a lot of things.

The second is that Lao Ma likes to play mahjong, and he finds it inconvenient to pay every time, so he later developed a personal ZFB account. If he loses, he can just take out his mobile phone and scan the code.

These two anecdotes are not necessarily accurate and may have been fabricated by some people, but they can be seen from them the convenience of online government in the future.

Currently, it is very troublesome to recharge games. You have to either buy some cards or recharge your phone bills. Even the payment method of binding a bank card is only a payment method unique to the official platform in this world and did not appear in the previous life.

Therefore, in the past life, large companies often cooperated with the two major communication companies, or they made their own recharge point cards and sold them at newsstands in major cities. Players who wanted to recharge had to buy point cards to recharge.

The existing ZFB is really not that convenient, because QR codes have not yet been widely used, and mobile payments based on smartphones have not yet appeared. The biggest advantage of ZFB is that it can pay online. No need to buy a card, just bind the bank card directly to recharge.

Although it is not as good as the scan code payment in the future, this payment method is already very convenient and fast.

It would be very convenient if both Moyu Live and Shen Yu Shen could access ZFB.

"The existing ZF method is really troublesome for players. It will also cost a lot of manpower and material resources for Moyu Company to issue point cards, and the gain outweighs the losses. So I want to connect to ZFB. Players can directly recharge points and purchase goods through their ZFB account. , eliminating a lot of processes and simplifying payment methods, which is of great help to improve players’ consumption levels.”

"Not only that, I also believe that China will enter a cashless society in the future, and ZFB is expected to become one of the largest pillars supporting a cashless society."

Mo Yu said a few words briefly.

After hearing this, Lao Ma greatly praised: "A cashless society? I didn't expect you to have the same idea as me. I have had many bold ideas about the future. For example, in the future, people will only need to rely on one medium to travel, through ZFB. Wouldn’t it be very convenient to pay directly without bringing any cash?”

"Nowadays in many overseas countries, it is popular to swipe various cards when going out, and they continue to brag about how convenient it is. In fact, in my opinion, it is simply rubbish and not worth mentioning!"

"A true cashless society means that you don't even need to bring a card. You only need to bring the most common thing, such as a mobile phone, and you can pay directly with your mobile phone. This is a true cashless society."

"Your words speak to my heart. The hero really sees the same thing."

Lao Ma was very happy, and Mo Yu had to admire him.

The most popular smartphone, Ai Crazy 4, has not yet been officially released and will not be available until two years later. However, Lao Ma actually already has the idea of ​​​​paying with a mobile phone, which is really amazing.

"Actually, this is also an unrealistic idea of ​​mine." Mo Yu shook his head and said: "No one knows exactly when a cashless society will be realized. We can only say that it will happen one day."

"Now ZFB is only available to TB users. I think Alibaba can create a ZFB account specifically for the software owned by Moyu Company. This account is connected to the company's bank account, so that in the future users can directly use ZFB to pay and recharge, and the recharge fee will be directly entered I wonder if it’s possible to put it in a bank account?”

"I have to ask to be sure, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Lao Ma said with a smile: "ZFB can get out of TB, and you and I will cooperate with each other. Of course I will be happy to see it happen. I will let someone arrange this." , it won’t take long.”

"In addition, I am very optimistic about your industry and would like to invest some money. What do you think? Are you willing to accept it?"

Lao Ma suddenly raised an issue, which shocked Mo Yu.

There is a saying that goes well - if you want Ali's money, Ali will kill you!

Different from Penguin’s investment style, Penguin provides money and traffic to the companies it invests in, provides a lot of support, and does not interfere with operations. It is loved by many entrepreneurs.

Alibaba's investment style is to find something that is beneficial to itself. To put it bluntly, it means to give money first, then get ownership, and further integrate the invested companies into its own business territory system, thereby expelling the founders. It is very domineering.

Of course Mo Yu didn't want to.

"If I don't agree, we can't talk about ZFB?"

Lao Ma was slightly startled, but still had a soft smile on his face: "Don't confuse the two. ZFB is ZFB's business, and investment is another matter. I have investigated your industry, and the revenue data is very good, and the development prospects are It’s also very good, that’s why I have the idea of ​​investing. If you don’t agree, forget it, it won’t affect the cooperation between you and me.”

Mo Yu pondered slightly, carefully observing Lao Ma's words and demeanor to determine whether it was true as he said.

But watch his words and actions. Since the two met, Lao Ma has been very gentle and can't tell much.

Mo Yu was alert in his heart and said: "I'm sorry."

As expected, Lao Ma's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he sighed: "Well, it seems that I can only bear the pain and give up!"

Mo Yu shook his head and said: "Giving up is out of the question. I wonder what Mr. Ma thinks of the e-sports industry? Are you interested in investing?"

"E-sports industry?" Lao Ma asked curiously: "Is it the Jingzhou Cup you held some time ago? What, do you want me to sponsor a game?"

"More than that." Mo Yu said: "My three largest businesses are live broadcasting, e-sports, and games. Now the live broadcasting has been independent and has received a round of financing. I do not plan to accept new investors for the time being. E-sports and gaming are still together.”

"I plan to separate the e-sports business and set up a separate e-sports company, which will be responsible for organizing e-sports events, managing clubs, signing players, and developing the e-sports industry globally. Does Mr. Ma have any ideas about this company?"

The fishing game is the foundation, and e-sports is the high-rise building built on the foundation. This high-rise building is far from enough with the strength of Mo Yu alone. More people must be involved in the construction.

Especially since he had heard the news that the Penguin King was sharpening his skills to develop a MOBA game. This news immediately made him pay more attention to it.

Oh my god~

The Penguin Overlord is a figure in the gaming industry who is like a ghost. Who wouldn’t be afraid to see him?

In his previous life, Penguin made his fortune by copying games.

First, build a battle platform to kill Lianzhong in the north, then frantically introduce foreign games, purchase copyrights and develop them yourself, kill the game market in the south, and then unify the country in one fell swoop, forming a situation where one superpower has many powers.

In this world, Penguin has set his sights on "Gods and Gods", and Mo Yu is afraid just thinking about it.

The main reason is that the development of e-sports has not yet reached a large scale. There are no divisions, leagues, or world championships. If Penguin really copied a reasonably good game, then he would not be able to withstand it!

Although the chance of Penguin making a good game is very slim, after all, LOL, DOTA, and King Moyu are all in hand, but we have to pay attention to it.

In addition, Mo Yu also has plans to borrow Lao Ma's network resources.

Currently, the courtesy you receive is different when you go out to discuss business under the name of Moyu Company and when you go out to discuss business under the name of Alibaba.

The most important thing is, does Ali know how to do e-sports?

When e-sports was at its peak in the previous life, Alibaba did not join in. This may be because of Penguin, but Alibaba seems to have never been exposed to the gaming industry from beginning to end. Now that he is giving away e-sports investment opportunities, he will really want to Completely integrated?

Lao Ma has never developed a game!

Is he really willing to build the gaming industry from scratch for an e-sports company?

Let me put a question mark for now.

"I won't go into details about the concept of e-sports. Since Mr. Ma has investigated it, he must be aware of it." Mo Yu waved his hand and said: "What I want to talk about is the future development of e-sports."

"As we all know, there are two most successful commercial sports in the world now, one is football and the other is basketball. Is it possible that e-sports will become the third one? I think it is!"

"E-sports has a large user base, is highly entertaining, is full of fierce confrontations, and can be accepted by everyone. If e-sports gathers these advantages and develops at full strength, its future will be unlimited."

When Lao Ma heard this, he thought thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense."

"It's not as simple as it makes sense. E-sports has almost all the advantages, but if it wants to develop, it needs help from all aspects." Mo Yu said frankly and honestly: "Alibaba has great energy in China. If Mr. Ma is willing to invest in e-sports, If it competes in the industry, its future will be limitless.”

"I am short of money and resources to develop the e-sports industry, and these horses are all available. If you really want to invest in my company, you might as well try an e-sports company."

After Mo Yu finished speaking, he lowered his head and picked up the teapot, filling himself and Lao Ma respectively.

Lao Ma picked up the tea cup and brought it to his mouth, but did not drink it. He seemed to be thinking about something. After dozens of seconds, he put down the tea cup and looked at Mo Yu: "Then what can it bring to me?"

"I don't know." Mo Yu answered honestly.

Lao Ma will almost get whatever he wants in the future. He really doesn’t know what the development of e-sports can bring to him. The main thing is that Lao Ma doesn’t make games!

Lao Ma was shocked and said: "I don't know? What kind of answer is this!"

"I just don't know." Mo Yu said with great sincerity: "I want to develop e-sports because it is the most important plan for my future life and also the company's development strategy. As for what e-sports can bring to you, then you have to See what you can get out of it or what you want to get out of it.”

Lao Ma was silent for a while after hearing this, and then smiled helplessly after a while: "You want me to invest again, and you don't tell me what I will gain. How do you ask me to choose?"

Mo Yu Xiangxiang said: "It depends on your own thoughts. Anyway, I have told you my own vision of the future development of e-sports. You can decide for yourself whether to invest or not!"

"As for what you get? Money, fame, future? Maybe it's all there!"

Lao Ma shook his head: "This is really a difficult problem." Then he looked at his watch, stood up and said: "I still have something to do, so let me think about it. If I think about it, I will contact you again! You Write down my phone number and contact me when you have time.”

"no problem."

Mo Yu immediately wrote down Lao Ma's personal number, and the two exchanged it.

Then the two of them went downstairs together.

Before saying goodbye, Lao Ma pressed down the car window again, stretched out his head and said: "I will contact you about ZFB. Let me investigate the idea of ​​investing in an e-sports company!"

"good!"

I have personal matters to attend to this week, so the update is a bit delayed. I may only have 4,000 to guarantee full attendance, but I will try my best to make up for it! As for yesterday, I drove for four hours and was tired at night. I really didn’t want to write, so I missed a chapter. I’m sorry everyone, I’m here to apologize!
