Rebirth: I Want to Surf

During Yao Yuan's visit this time, he inspected a wave of Hollywood, prepared to build a San Francisco studio, took a stake in Riot Games, and reached a sea-going agreement with Facebook... The itinerary was full and intense.

In the blink of an eye for nearly a month, I am about to leave for my country.

Before leaving, he specially called Zhao Xuetao over to teach him how to do it face to face.

"In the future, you will be in charge of the American studio. You have great autonomy. I don't impose any restrictions, but you must complete a few tasks."

"One is the international improvement of domestic games, such as "Parking Space" and "Friends Buying and Selling". main work.

On this basis, you can also develop some social games by yourself, regardless of domestic players, and completely target overseas. You can start with simple and free ones, such as "Texas Hold'em", and first make the studio famous.

Facebook just opened the platform, and no one realized the value of social games. We tried our best to seize the market. A game is launched, but there is no improvement in 1-2 months, and I immediately give up and make a new one. The emphasis is on efficiency. "

"..."

Zhao Xuetao nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He had already set up a development strategy, conducted more investigations and studies, and cut American leeks from the standpoint of the American people.

Yao Yuan continued: "The growth of Facebook users is slow, and the application platform is the first step. I guess the next step is to remove the registration restrictions for college students and open it to the entire network.

With the endorsement of American capital, Facebook will soon be able to conquer the world.

At this time, we should also pay attention to the fact that users can be divided into English-speaking areas and non-English-speaking areas, and non-English-speaking areas are subdivided into East Asia, Southeast Asia, Arabia, Latin America, and even Africa.

In the final analysis, making games is about making markets, and grasping the needs of different markets is the key to long-term overseas development.

Of course, these are not what we are thinking about now, just follow in the footsteps of Facebook and make a fortune in silence... Oh yes, pay attention to American counterparts and see if they copy our games... If they do, be flexible Strain, let me know in time! "

Yao Yuan pointed out the general direction, and Zhao Xuetao, as if he had a good plan in his pocket, said that he would definitely try to figure it out and follow it.

There is a company in the United States called Zynga, which is the most successful social game company. Its annual net profit on Facebook alone is 400 million U.S. dollars, which is earned by selling these small items one by one.

The highest valuation reaches 9 billion US dollars, which is even better than EA.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. In just a few years, it declined with the decline of social games, and was finally acquired by the parent company of "Grand Theft Auto" at a staggering $12.7 billion.

In fact, in Yao Yuan's view, it is only the web version community that is declining, not social games.

Most companies have not grasped the wave of the "mobile game era" and missed opportunities for transformation. As a reborn, Yao Yuan's biggest advantage is that he will not be stuck on a product.

Social games can be completely transplanted to mobile games, and they are still brilliant.

…………

July is the hottest time in Beijing.

Xiao Mo drove the car, picked up the two bosses from the airport, and drove all the way back to Xiangshan Qingqin villa area.

At the foot of the mountain, you can see the small and exquisite Fragrant Hills, and then you can see the undulating Xishan Park, which is lush and lush, obviously cooler than the urban area.

Yao Yuan wouldn't do such a shameful thing like "the boss is so busy, the nanny drinks coffee with the dog and looks at the sea view". He went out by himself for a month, the nanny was on vacation, and the gardening company didn't use it.

Two days before returning to China, the house was tidied up and the garden was looked after.

The car parked in the courtyard, and two aunts in their fifties came out to welcome them out. They were both foreigners, quick in their hands and feet, and not talkative.

"Don't eat lunch, eat it in the evening."

"We'll clean this up ourselves... By the way, I bought you some small gifts, don't be disgusted."

Yinyin unpacked the luggage, took out two pieces of clothes and a small souvenir, and handed them over, carrying the suitcases upstairs by herself.

The two of them took a shower and lay on the bed. The exhaustion from being away for a month plus the long-distance flight came together. The hotel is almost meaningless!"

"I felt so fast, I came back without playing anything."

"We didn't go to any place to play. We all went around the city. We will go again next time. We will go to Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, and Alaska."

"When is the next time?"

"Soon, next year..."

"Are you going next year?"

Yinyin didn't understand, Yao Yuan didn't explain, turned over and continued to stretch.

He recognizes the bed and the pillow extremely, and it takes a few days to get used to it in a strange place, otherwise he will not be able to sleep well, but lying on the bed and pillow he is familiar with, he feels a sense of security—in fact, he is also a little bit in the United States. Nowhere.

Yao Yuan decided to take a day off and go to work the day after tomorrow.

As a result, in the evening, after dinner, the phone calls came in one after another. There were greetings and reports on work.

"The online game "Zhu Xian" is ready for public testing on time! The theme song sung by Ren Xianqi."

"The mall is going to start the Double Eleven promotion!"

""33 Days of Broken Relationship" selected the article and Bai Baihe starred in it."

"The film and television fund raising went very smoothly!"

"T3 wants to sue us!"

"Wait a minute……"

Yao Yuan suddenly heard Cheng Wei report an absurd and funny news, and asked, "The T3 company of Audition?"

"Yes!"

"Why is Mao suing us?"

"Didn't we register the trademark "Audition Company"? T3 believes that "Audition Company" belongs to their trademark, and we are breaking the law."

Cheng Wei explained.

Um? ? ?

Although Yao Yuan knew that Little Xiba was always unreliable, he was still a little speechless when he met him in person.

The name of "Audition" in Korea is "Audition". The so-called Audition is a translation with Chinese characteristics, and has nothing to do with Korea.

Chiguoguo's Porcelain!

And he thought about it again, and asked, "What do you think is the reason?"

"It's all about money!"

Cheng Wei put it mildly, and said: "We just released the financial report for the first half of the year, and the revenue of "Audition" reached 44 million US dollars, ranking first in domestic casual online games, and the number of simultaneous online users exceeded 800,000!

Our contract with T3 will expire next year. At that time, we only gave them 15% dividends. They must feel that it is too little. They either want to renew the contract at a high price, or find another buyer directly and not cooperate with us. "

"Good analysis!"

Yao Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Is there any news about finding a buyer in T3?"

"not yet."

"Keep staring at..."

Yao Yuan thought for a while, and said: "We stand for protecting our legal rights, and we will file a lawsuit if we want, but we do not want to lose the game "Audition", and we are willing to negotiate with T3 on the renewal of the contract. The price is negotiable."

"..."

After hearing this, Cheng Wei tried to understand the boss's thinking, and said carefully: "Then we will start to develop our own dance game, kick off T3 and operate it ourselves?"

oops!

Children can be taught! Children can be taught!

"That's right, that's the way of thinking. Let you handle this matter. Pay attention to your attitude. We must show our strong desire to renew the contract with "Audition". It's best to lure the snake out of the hole and lure the third party out."

"understand!"

Cheng Wei was also very excited to get busy.

(no more...)
