Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

With the topic of conversation, the time passed quickly. Boss Zhang and Qiu Bosong were chatting very harmoniously, but during this period, Lin Wei seemed to be hesitant to speak.

So after the dinner, the other party seemed a little presumptuous and directly kept Yang Dongxu. Boss Zhang glanced at Lin Wei and said nothing.

Instead, he was going to find a place to discuss the film and television website with Qiu Bosong in detail. He saw that Yang Dongxu wanted 361 to cooperate with Sohu, not Xuri Technology. Qiu Bosong was undoubtedly fully responsible for this cooperation.

So the group of people quickly left with their own things to do, leaving only Yang Dongxu and Lin Wei in the box.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me?" Yang Dongxu looked at Lin Wei with a little curiosity in his eyes.

After all, colleagues are enemies. Although it is not yet time to fight to the death, the two sides do not seem to be harmonious enough to meet in private to discuss things.

"MM has recently launched a new feature. Users can pay to choose their own MM avatar and dress their own avatar," Lin Wei said.

There was a look of surprise on Yang Dongxu's face. He was not surprised that MM found this profit model. He had already known about this matter since he had been paying attention to the development.

And this is not MM’s original work. Paying for virtual characters to dress up was pioneered by a small website in South Korea. However, the effect was not very good and it was considered a failure.

However, this method is undoubtedly a golden idea when applied to him, because they have a sufficient user base. Even if only a few percent of users pay, it is a very considerable income. He was surprised how Lin Wei talked about this matter with him.

"In order to facilitate the development of this project, we have plans to set up our own payment system, and we have negotiated with Ninetowns. In the future, players will use their payment software for online purchases." Lin Wei continued.

Yang Dongxu couldn't help but frown. He really hadn't heard about this news. Lin Wei knew that he had a very close relationship with Alipay, and even speculated that he might be a shareholder of Alipay. This was not surprising.

After all, when Xuri Technology was first established and only had one project, "Legend", Alipay's support for Xuri Technology could be seen by anyone who was not blind.

Although Xuri Technology has not revealed how much commission it receives from paying with Alipay, it is certainly lower than those in the same industry, or even extremely low.

In addition, Alipay has introduced users to Xuri Technology from the beginning, and it is almost like treating its own son. If you don’t know the relationship between the two companies, there is something wrong with your brain.

Alipay is undoubtedly the core of Yang Dongxu's creation of his own Internet business empire. Whether it is games or shopping, Alipay is an indispensable part.

But now they actually want to develop their own payment methods, and have started to connect with game companies to use their payment software for internal consumption. This is undoubtedly Parkson Technology and Feixun Technology preparing to join forces to stab Yang Dongxu in the heart.

It is not surprising to Yang Dongxu that a communication software company establishes its own payment method. After all, in the previous generation, when Penguin had not come up with any representative ***, what it was best at was allowing users to open various memberships and various diamonds.

In Yang Dongxu's impression, before he used Alipay, he started using QQ's Tenpay, but later Alipay came out and swept through various payment software on the Internet to dominate the world.

But then after WeChat payment came out, it made a good turnaround. In short, online payment methods were very popular in the previous life. You can sing and I will appear.

Yang Dongxu thought that he would definitely have various opponents in the virtual payment market, such as eBay, which is very active in foreign countries. In recent years, it has been preparing to make moves in the domestic market, making Yang Dongxu, a shareholder of eBay, extremely embarrassed at certain times.

.

But what he didn't expect was that competitors would appear so early, and they didn't appear in the gaming and online shopping industries, but the communication software company sold this step first. Is it necessary to confirm the old saying: "Kill your possibility"

Not peers, but probably cross-border?"

Especially since the rise of Alipay, UnionPay seems to have a new understanding of this new payment method, and it is curious but also wary.

So in the past few years, no one has noticed that the payment industry is a cake, but they have been stuck in UnionPay's failure to obtain a license. Therefore, with its huge user base, coupled with the good idea of ​​avatar show, the payment industry has taken advantage of the opportunity.

When it comes to software development, there are not only two technology companies involved, but someone is trying to cause trouble.

"Aren't you happy to see competitors? Only by being competitive can you enjoy better cost performance." Yang Dongxu ran through many possibilities and conspiracy theories in his mind, but said calmly without showing it on his face.

Since everyone knows that Alipay has a very close relationship with him, although he has not publicly admitted it, he has not denied it either, so he might as well just acquiesce now.

"Competition can indeed promote the healthy development of the industry, but only if companies have enough freedom of choice." Lin Wei couldn't help but have a wry smile on her face.

The emergence of more choices in the payment field is naturally a good thing for game companies like them. After all, this does not mean that Alipay will pay as much commission as it says it will. If they have other options, they will have bargaining chips.

At the same time, it can also gain a competitive advantage when facing Rising Sun Technology, which is like Alipay's own son. But the problem is that many of The9's players and users now rely on one-click login through communication software diversion.

Players are the lifeblood of game companies, and half of their lives are in their hands. It’s really not certain whether this payment software will be a help or a drag when the time comes.

"Then what do you mean by telling me this?" Yang Dongxu looked at Lin Wei doubtfully.

Even if a communication software technology company launches its own payment software, the impact will definitely be on Alipay, which does not seem to have much to do with The9 Gaming Company in Lin Wei's hands. And on the surface, Ninetowns and communication software

The company is an ally, while Rising Sun Technology and Alipay are enemies.

"I want to cooperate with 361 Browser and Tieba. I hope to be able to get the same promotion resources and one-click mutual account login convenience as those of Xuri Technology Games." Lin Wei looked at Yang Dongxu and said very directly.

Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows, leaned back on the chair and crossed his fingers on his lap: "These resources are not cheap."

He agreed with Lin Wei's desire to expand his own game import channels. After all, it must be uncomfortable to have your life in the hands of outsiders.

But let’s not mention that Ninetowns is now the opponent of Rising Sun Technology. Just look at the daily clicks of 361 browser and the popularity of Tieba. Yang Dongxu is the emperor’s daughter who has no worries about marrying. Naturally, he has to pay a high price to get the princess.

cost.

And if you open your mouth too much, many partners will flock to you. Ninetowns was originally at a disadvantage in this regard. Now Lin Wei took the initiative to propose it so eagerly, instead of handing him a knife with her own hands, and then said: "

Kill him hard?"

At the same time, the communication software technology company is not a fool. Lin Wei is obviously defecting by doing this. How could the other party easily let go of the fat in his mouth?

Seemingly sensing Yang Dongxu's doubts, Lin Wei said: "Although communication software companies have found ways to make money from this avatar show, most of their current income comes from diverting users to game companies."

This sentence is undoubtedly very straightforward. Although the game company has some players in the hands of the communication software company, the income of the communication software company also depends on the game company, and we are mutually restricted.

And there are not one communication company but two, which is another involvement. If Lin Wei is looking for new user expansion channels, the communication software company reacts too much, or looks too ugly, this will be quite serious.

It gives competitors a chance.

In the final analysis, game companies are just complementary partners to communication software companies, but their counterparts are irresolvable mortal enemies. So at this point, it is estimated that even if communication software companies have objections, the measures they take will not be so drastic.

, in the end I guess it was mostly bullshit.

"Then why should I choose to cooperate with you?" Yang Dongxu asked.

You can argue with the communication software, but Yang Dongxu has Wang Zha in his hand and there are so many people to cooperate with, why must he choose Ninetowns?

“While browsers and Tieba are diverting traffic to The9 games, all The9 games will also be diverting traffic to Tieba. You can even open official accounts in Tieba to update and publish some game updates and some celebrities on the power rankings.

player.

In addition, Ninetowns will also pay you a large amount of advertising fees. As far as I know, the current browser's pasting ability mainly relies on Tieba and web games.

Web games have now begun to have many imitators. Although they are not as good as 361, they are constantly diverting this small number of players.

Not to mention Tieba, currently Baidu, Sina, and even Mr. Zhang’s Sohu are actively preparing for this, and some hot topics have even been posted separately.

Although Ninetowns is not as good as Rising Sun Technology, it still has a player base of millions. The addition of Ninetowns can supplement the Tieba content to a certain extent, which is beneficial to both of us."

This analysis is undoubtedly reasonable, especially since Yang Dongxu can get benefits from it and also get advertising fees, which doesn't look too good at all.

After all, although Tieba serves Xuri Technology, it does not belong to Xuri Technology alone. Otherwise, it will cut off its own path and will be surpassed by these imitators sooner or later.

However, the posts suddenly discussing the games of Xuri Technology in Tieba were very popular before the deliberate guidance, but the posts about games from other game companies seemed to be secretive.

One is that no one has officially agreed that this is actually a bit of an infringement. However, Tieba users can post on their own, and in the end, the post will be deleted to smooth things over.

But this is undoubtedly a loss for Tieba, and now those imitators are approaching step by step. Taking Ninetowns for official certified posting is definitely much better than pushing him into the arms of those imitators.

What's more, Lin Wei is so grand and spends a lot of money on advertising. To be honest, even though the two companies are competitors, such a cooperation is a bit like seeking skin from a tiger, but Yang Dongxu can't help but feel a little moved.

Of course, this exciting final cooperation is definitely not other than the strong complement to Tieba that he ran to Ninetowns to join the Tieba family because he saw money.

He has absolute confidence in this game in the hands of Xuri Technology. Even if it diverts traffic to Ninetowns, Xuri Technology is still the leader.

For example, "Legend" is not comparable to any current game. More than ten years later, "If you are a brother, come and kill me" will still be as popular.

In addition, it goes without saying that he has severely cracked down on piracy and cheating and has a long lifespan, not to mention that he has evergreen games like "Fantasy Westward Journey" and the absolute advantage of starting various popular games in the future.

If Ninetowns surpassed him just because of one diversion, then he could just find a piece of tofu and kill him directly and reincarnate again.

But what Yang Dongxu is interested in now is not the cooperation issue, just leave it to Qiu Bosong to discuss. What he is a little interested in is Lin Wei.

You must know that Lin Wei is only the CEO of Ninetowns, not the boss, and she only holds the stock options for the CEO position, which is not even a shareholder. At most, she only gets the option dividends.

So for such a position that seems very prestigious but does not have such freedom in the country, the other party can actually find him as a competitor and use such a move to go off the mark. The person in front of her has an appearance that is comparable to hers, or even surpasses him.

Appearance talent.

After all, taking the wrong approach is synonymous with risk, and those shareholders are not so easy to convince.
