Rebirth of the Evil Life

197 Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Three Prepare for a Rainy Day

※Feng Huateng is now considered to be a rare young talent in China who was born in "Jiannian". Jinzhong "Yinnian" single-handedly founded Tencent with hundreds of millions of registered users. star. Now Tencent's share price is also rising steadily. Reaching a million Hong Kong dollars, his personal assets climbed to a huge amount of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the sixth-level richest man second only to Lin Feng.

certainly. Although Ma Huateng has infinite scenery, compared with the tired-faced Lin Feng in front of him, he can only be regarded as Liuying and Haoyue competing for glory. Ma Huateng gasped for a while, compared with the young and outrageous man in front of him, the Big Four in China are undoubtedly much inferior. Impossible to the global business elite. Compared with Lin Feng, he felt inferior.

Amid Ma Huateng's sighs, Lin Feng woke up and asked, "Why is Chairman Ma coming here today?"

Ma Huateng smiled and took out a report from his briefcase.

"Director Lin. This is Tencent's financial statement for the first half of the year. How do you feel about it?" Ma Huateng asked calmly. Lin Feng owns the old % shares of Tencent and is the second largest individual shareholder of Tencent, so he is eligible to inspect the financial statement.

Lin Feng took it and took a look. In the middle, he took a little breath. Tencent's gross profit in the first half of the year was more than 100 million yuan. The profit during the period increased compared with the same period last year and reached 100 million yuan. It is a relatively profitable company among the four domestic companies.

"Director Lin. This is the financial statement for the third quarter." Ma Huateng handed Lin Feng another data report.

Lin Feng took a look at the situation and it was good. He basically maintained the profit ratio in the first half of the year, but Lin Feng still felt that although he was still making money, the growth rate of profit had slowed down. Although the slowdown in profit growth rate is a normal phenomenon after the Internet stock bubble burst, Tencent has continued to grow different users. The number of online users has continued to rise but the profit has slowed down. This is by no means a normal phenomenon.

"Director Lin. I believe you have seen the problem. Apart from advertising, the main profit points of Tencent now are the show and a series of platform games we have launched, especially "Farm". Ma Huateng lamented the huge popularity and profits.

When signing the contract with Lin Feng, Lin Feng's idea was to exchange for Tencent shares, which was not enough to make ends meet. At first, there were many people in Tencent who opposed it. Now it seems that it is one. "Show" and a "farm" occupy the island of Tencent's revenue. At the beginning, the exchange of shares for "Little Boy" really made a profit for Tencent. But now there is a problem

"Show." With the increase of users buying items, it has gradually "cold" down, although there are new users. There are also new "shows." But there is always a day when it is saturated.

certainly. What really worries Ma Huateng is that with the operation of "Farm" for more than a year, most users have become a little bored of playing it. Although "Ranch" and "Fade Field" were launched later, the game is simply a novelty and "stealing food". After playing for a long time, everyone's interest will not be so high.

The number of people who are willing to become Can users and pay for this is naturally less and less. Although there will be no impact in the short term, in the long run, Tencent must find new profit growth points to take precautions in order to be able to do so. Survive in the fiercely competitive globalized information age.

But Ma Huateng didn't think of any good ideas for a while. At present, the main profit point of the domestic postal industry. In addition to relying on advertising revenue, most of them are developing to the game industry. After all, the successful precedent of "Second World Small" here makes all four companies jealous. Although the game market is more competitive, even if the game does not make money and attracts more popularity, it can also bring more advertising revenue.

But when it comes to games, Ma Huateng really doesn't have much idea. At the time of depression, "Daewoo Information" under the "Second World" launched "Legend of Sword and Fairy Collector's Edition", which sold an astonishing over ten thousand sets. Breaking the sales record of domestic stand-alone games shocked the global game industry. Thinking of creating this miracle, Lin Feng and Ma Huateng had an idea in mind.

Since I can't think of it, I might as well ask Lin Feng if there is any way. After all, Lin Feng also owns the old shares of Tencent, and this time he promoted the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" game and movie, Tencent also spared no effort to repay Li Ma Huateng.

After hearing about Ma Huateng's problem, Lin Feng frowned. It's good for Tencent to want to diversify, but now the game industry's own "Second World" dominates the domestic game industry. Tencent wants to develop the game industry. There are a few game ideas but "Second World. I can't get my hands on it for a while.

But I can't beat my company just to help Tencent. After all, I own "Second World. One hundred shares" and own "Tencent Holdings", which is only an old share. The two are compared. Lin Feng naturally focused on "the second world."

However, Tencent's advantage is also very obvious in controlling the absolute resources of "Xiaoxiao". "The market prospect is also extremely objective. It is no exaggeration to say that Tencent will continue to exist as long as there are Chinese people. And its status in the hearts of Chinese citizens is increasing year by year. With the development of global networking in the future, perhaps all Chinese people will have one No.

With the influence of "Tencent", Lin Feng naturally would not give up. But it cannot affect the development of the "Second World". The future of "Tencent" naturally lies in the development of online games. If you want not to affect the profits of "Second World", you can only expand this market. As long as the market is big. It doesn't matter if there are more people who share the "cake".

And after these two years of "Second World" excavation, the current domestic online game players are probably in! Compared with China's population ratio of about 10,000, it is still quite low compared to Western developed countries. Since Ma Huateng is looking for himself this time, it is better to use this opportunity to expand the cake market.

The users of "Second World" are mainly college students and ordinary white-collar workers. But "Tencent" has users all over the world. There are many high earners in the industry. These people are potential game users. And it is a game user who spends a lot of money. Attracting them is extremely beneficial to the entire game industry chain.

Let high-income earners spend more money to enjoy the thrill of games, let ordinary users spend money to enjoy the fun of games, and let low-income earners make a living with games. This is the blueprint for the game industry in Lin Feng's mind. Just this blueprint. It is still being sketched and slowly under construction.

But Lin Feng didn't have a good idea for a while. It's good to have a game idea. However, this is not suitable for Tencent's development. This brand will have an impact on the status of the "Second World". "Tencent must become the company that develops the market instead of seizing the market. Therefore, the games developed must be suitable for the development of "Tencent". And it will not have a major impact on the "second world".

Of course, there was one more thing that gave Lin Feng a headache. "Tencent Holdings is small. At present, the largest shareholder is a South African media giant. Holdings is the largest shareholder in terms of capital. This also makes Lin Feng very unhappy. "Tencent" earns more than one billion yuan a year. In the end, most of it is distributed to It's really uncomfortable to have a South African consortium.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Feng rubbed his stomach, "Mr. Ma, I think you came here overnight, so come and have breakfast with me!"

Ma Huateng rubbed his stomach and realized that he was also a little hungry. He put the briefcase on Lin Feng's desk and went happily.

Lin Feng was not very familiar with the nearby morning tea shop, so he randomly picked a more elegant-looking morning tea shop and ordered some porridge and breakfast at random.

When chatting casually with Ma Huateng about the recent domestic and international situation. Lin Feng accidentally found a ten-year-old kid at the next table who was playing "Plants vs. Zombies" on his father's laptop. Seeing this game, Lin Feng smiled slightly. This game is now in decline. After all, after a period of crazy national "Plants vs. Zombies" craze, due to the low excavability and playability of the game itself, only the last infinite challenge mode stimulates players. Over time, players will gradually lose interest in this game. .

Today's "O Farm" is also the same as the enthusiasm of players will sooner or later be gradually abandoned by players. Looking at such a large profit point, the profit is gradually declining, and Ma Huateng should be anxious.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. He sipped the preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Suddenly, an idea flashed in Lin Feng's mind. The more you think about it, the more feasible it becomes. present. After drinking the porridge in two or three mouthfuls, he left Ma Huateng excitedly and ran away.

"Director Lin! Little. Ma Huateng was surprised and didn't know what happened to Lin Feng.

"Mr. Ma. I have a good idea for a game. I'll go back and use the computer to sort it out." Lin Feng shouted excitedly and ran away without looking back.

Ma Huateng's eyes lit up when Lin Feng said that he had a good game idea, so it must be a good game idea. Think about the miracle that Lin Feng created before, selling 100,000 sets of domestic stand-alone games in one month. Ma Huateng believed that Lin Feng's excited expression at this moment was definitely not simple. Thinking of this, Ma Huateng also looked excited. After drinking the porridge and grabbing the quick cakes, he ran out with Lin Feng.

"Sir, you haven't paid the bill yet? Unexpectedly, when Ma Huateng was about to leave, he was stopped by someone.

Ma Huateng looked at the frowning and sullen cashier with embarrassment and excitement, Lin Feng forgot everything, and so did he. But when Ma Huateng was about to pay the bill, he froze. It's still hot now, and he doesn't wear much clothes. His wallet is in the briefcase, but the briefcase was in Lin Feng's office when he left the house just now.

"This" Ma Huateng was embarrassed for a while.

The cashier waiter looked at Ma Huateng with an embarrassed expression on his face. His face suddenly darkened, as if he saw a scoundrel who only eats the overlord's meal. However, Ma Huateng was well-dressed, but he didn't call the security guard, but just stretched out his hand to ask Ma Huateng to pay the bill.

"Uh. Ma Huateng is really anxious. Even when he was the poorest in the past, he never had the phenomenon of eating overlord meals. Now he is the chairman of a listed company, but he has no money to settle the bill.

"Uh. Didn't you know that person just now? Ma Huateng asked, pointing at Lin Feng's back in the distance. This place is so close to the "Second World" and with Lin Feng's reputation, all the restaurant clerks here should know Lin Feng.

Unexpectedly, the clerk shook his head. Although it is not far from the "Second World", it is impossible for Lin Feng to eat Li Zhiyou's breakfast at home every day. It's normal for these waiters not to know Lin Feng. Of course, even if you have seen the photos of Lin Feng and Ma Huateng, but a dignified chairman of a listed company eats a hundred yuan breakfast but can't pay for it, who would believe that you are the chairman of a listed company?

The key moment is mysterious. Abby Cohen, the general counsel of Lin Feng's personal consultant team, came in and saw Ma Huateng was slightly taken aback, then walked over.

"Hi. Are you Chairman Ma of Tencent?" Abby has never met Ma Huateng himself, but as the former chief financial officer of Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs also bought a lot of "Tencent Holdings" in the early days of "Tencent Holdings" listing. Abby Cohen naturally pays attention to the "Tencent Holdings" listed in Hong Kong, China, and now, as Lin Feng's chief consultant, she naturally pays more attention to Cai Feng, her partners, and the company stocks she owns. Ma Huateng is quite familiar with it. Moreover, Abby has several suggestions for Tencent that Lin Fengfan can make good use of "Tencent"

"Hello. May I ask who you are? Ma Huateng felt that the Western woman in front of him was familiar but couldn't remember it for a while.

"Hehe. Mr. Ma, I am Mr. Lin's personal consultant. Abby Cohen." Abby Cohen introduced himself with a smile.

Ma Huateng suddenly realized. He remembered who the woman in front of him was. The former chief financial analyst of Goldman Sachs, the top international investment company, was called "Wall Street Myth". When Abby Cohen resigned from Goldman Sachs to become Lin Feng's personal consultant, it caused quite a stir in the industry. I didn't expect to meet her here by accident today.

"Two, can I pay first?" the waiter heard Abby Cohen and Ma Huateng talking in English here, and couldn't help interrupting them.

Ma Huateng was embarrassed when he heard this.

"Can you help me check out? My wallet was left in Lin Dong's office," Ma Huateng said helplessly.

Abby Cohen helped Ma Huateng pay the bill with a smile, and then they talked all the way and saw Lin Feng's office. Walking to Lin Feng's office, Abby smiled and left. But Abby Cohen has gotten a lot of information along the way. After all, Ma Huateng unknowingly reveals some clues to the legendary figure who saves himself from embarrassment and is said to be a "miracle". Ma Huateng, a mature woman with a bit of charm. enough for analysts.

Ma Huateng knocked on the door and came in.

"Hi. Mr. Ma, you are here. It happened that my new idea came out. Lin Feng turned the display screen around.

Ma Huateng took a closer look at "Plants vs. Zombies" in "The Farm"!

What game is this?
