The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

"Which game company does TOTA belong to?" Sun Yang's words stunned Yang Dongxu for a moment.

If the other party refuses to sell the copyright, it is only authorized. This is what Yang Dongxu thought and said when he bought the other party directly. It was only after I finished speaking that I realized that I didn't know which company to buy.

"Blizzard Entertainment, the richest man Chen is acting as the owner of "World of Warcraft". Before that, you wanted to buy the agency from the richest Chen, but in the end it was negotiated to cooperate in the form of investing in Shengda company."

"Why did you forget about this?" Yang Dongxu patted his forehead, "I seem to still have shares in this game company."

Sun Yang's gaze instantly became even weirder.

Boss, I know you have a lot of yourself and a lot of talent. But you actually forgot the company you are going to buy now, and you are still a shareholder of that company. This B-pretense makes people very caught off guard.

"I'm really confused. I'll inform you about the acquisition of the copyright. You can buy Qifan first." Yang Dongxu smiled awkwardly, and waved his hands to tell Sun Yang to hurry up, so as not to embarrass him even more.

In fact, it's not that Yang Dongxu pretended to be a fork, but that he really forgot. The two had a dispute when the richest man Chen represented "World of Warcraft".

He just remembered that when he invested in various IT companies abroad like a large net, he seemed to have really participated in Blizzard Entertainment's round of financing and became their shareholder.

But it's just a small shareholder with a seat on the board of directors. The founder of Blizzard Entertainment is a bit like him in character, that is, if he has capital, he will definitely eat alone and will not sell his shares just because of the listing or something.

This is from the fact that the founder of Blizzard Entertainment firmly controls the equity in his hand and does not disclose it, and even sold part of the equity in the previous life due to the financial crisis.

As a result, in just a few years, after the company made a lot of money, the founders had money in their hands. He bought back the sold shares at a high price, which shows what kind of character the other party is.

So it is really not easy to acquire this company, especially since they are not short of money now. "World of Warcraft" may reach the pinnacle of the world's game industry this year and become the most profitable game.

This game alone is enough for people to eat for ten years, and every meal is full of fish and meat. What's more, in addition to this popular game, Blizzard Entertainment recently released news that it is preparing to develop a new type of card game "Hearthstone".

This is undoubtedly another absolutely explosive game, and what about "Heroes of the Storm" and "Overwatch". In short, Blizzard does often skip tickets.

It is common to postpone the game public beta if you are slightly dissatisfied, or even postpone it for a year or a half. But the games produced by others are indeed high-quality goods, you can't accept it.

So it is obviously not an ordinary difficulty to acquire such a company. In the end, even if the company is acquired, it is also a question of whether the founder, who is the technical and game director planning, can be retained. If these founders cannot be kept, the value of this company will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

However, although it is not easy to acquire this company, it is not a big problem if you want to win some copyrights related to competitive games in "Warcraft".

After all, the glory of "Warcraft" is in the past. Even though DOTA is still very popular, the profit has almost dried up. According to the current operation mode of the game, it can be said that almost all the money that should be made has been made. Blizzard Entertainment has no reason not to sell the copyright.

What's more, Yang Dongxu didn't intend to be so overbearing that after taking all the copyrights of the "Warcraft" game, Blizzard Entertainment would not be able to use it.

He just wanted to get rid of the later development of competitive games, such as the development of the predecessor of "League of Legends", because of some copyright and similarity issues, he was sued by Blizzard, and he had to cut off a large piece of meat.

So the negotiation is not as difficult as imagined, especially when Blizzard Entertainment has tasted the sweetness of large-scale online games and is currently not very concerned about traditional battle economic games. Basically, you can ask and win.

Thinking of Yang Dongxu making an international long-distance call in the office, it is undoubtedly much easier for Yiting Technology to discuss such a matter. In case the other party sees that the negotiating person is from China, they will open their mouths.

It's just a buyout of part of the copyright. Presumably, Yiting Technology will bring him good news soon.

The game has come to an end, although Rising Sun Technology is not developing any major game projects. After all, the game in hand is already busy enough, so the current research and development energy is mainly on 361 Guardian.

Compared with the current domestic antivirus software market and garbage cleaning software, which is not unified and somewhat chaotic. Being a 361 security guard is undoubtedly stabbing the back of Qiu Bosong's former club Jinshan with a knife.

After all, anti-virus software is the pillar industry of Jinshan, and the entire company is currently living on such an anti-virus software. Although in recent years Jinshan is also adapting to the domestic Internet trend and making positive changes.

But the whole change process is not very ideal, although there are a few acceptable products. But the lackluster market reaction didn't yield much.

Therefore, as long as 361 Guardian is introduced to the market, no matter what kind of rabbit anti-virus software or Master Lu is on the market now, it will lose all the market in an instant. Antivirus software is also on this death list.

Because 361 Guardian and 361 Browser are both free routes, the word "free" is definitely a big killer in China. With these two words, as long as things are not too bad, they are basically invincible.

"How about the inside?" Yang Dongxu, Qiu Bosong, and the relevant directors of the 361 department were having a meeting in the Rising Sun Technology conference room.

"Very good, if garbage cleaning can only give players an intuitive digital jump, it doesn't feel too much about the real improvement of the computer.

After all, there are many reasons for a computer to freeze, and sometimes it even feels like a problem with the computer if the network speed is not good. That 361 boot acceleration is definitely the finishing touch.

Turn off the optimization of those startup items, and the computer boot speed will be significantly improved, which is the most intuitive feeling. In terms of antivirus software, 361 has basically tested all common viruses in the world, and basically can kill them. Qiu Bosong had a smile on his face.

As for security guards, he wanted to do it a long time ago, but there are many things in Jinshan that you can't do if you want to do it. And a few years ago, Jinshan's top executives believed that since they dominated the anti-virus software market, they would continue to cultivate this land and dominate forever.

Therefore, the main energy is also invested in the development of relatively mature anti-virus software. To be honest, for ordinary users, it is basically enough to be able to detect and kill ordinary viruses.

For those powerful mutated viruses, hackers planted Trojan horses for you or something. Basically, ordinary users may not encounter it once in a lifetime.

After all, with the current Internet speed, even if hackers treat you like a chicken, they will dislike your Internet speed for being too slow. At the same time, ordinary users basically have no important files that need to be stolen by hackers, so they will basically not be attacked.

Of course, this is on the premise that you do not log in to some illegal websites. It is another matter to log in to these websites and people will instantly want to throw a few Trojan horse viruses into your computer.

Therefore, anti-virus software does not actually look at the market share of ordinary users. The real money-making aspect should be the business specially designed for some large enterprises or laboratories to establish anti-virus firewalls.

And the previous Jinshan line undoubtedly wanted to grasp with both hands and be hard with both hands. The privately-designed market for large enterprises requires a general market share.

But in fact, except for Xinmeng who just bought a computer, he will pay to use Jinshan's anti-virus software for a period of time. Even if some veterans log in to some unhealthy websites, they will not renew the anti-virus software.

It’s a big deal to redo the system, isn’t it only 10 yuan, how can you charge me 30 yuan for an anti-virus software?

"How long will the public beta be available?" Yang Dongxu asked.

As for the boot optimization, Yang Dongxu’s opinion is just to add a small function to the security guard. It doesn’t cost much, but it is very popular with the user experience.

Of course, if you really want your computer to start up faster, you should actually turn off everything, including the security guard, and run naked the fastest.

But even if you are rarely hacked, you will not get a virus if you do not log in to the violating website. But without security guards, people always feel that walking on the street without clothes is very uncomfortable, and they feel uneasy. So even though many know that bare metal runs the fastest, they seldom surf the Internet on bare metal.

"The internal side can be finished at the end of this month, and if there are no problems, it can be tested at the end of next month. In fact, after the internal adjustment this time, there is no problem with direct listing.

However, to be on the safe side, it is better to conduct a public beta. In case any problems are found, the public beta can only temporarily shut down the service system to repair and troubleshoot the problem. " Qiu Bosong said.

"Then let's do a public beta first and collect some data. How is the ranking on the web page?" Yang Dongxu continued to ask.

"This is really hard to do. Everyone is a boss. Even if you are down now, you can't handle it casually." Qiu Bosong showed a wry smile on his face. During this time, he has often had a headache about this matter.

The 361 browser now basically occupies 98% of the domestic market, leaving only 2% to give those Sohu or Google browsers a little soup.

It stands to reason that such an awesome market share is basically considered a market monopoly, and the 361 browser should be able to make a lot of money.

But the most embarrassing problem now is that, apart from advertising some web games, 361 Browser has been making losses and there is no room for profit at all.

And the 361 security guard, which is about to be tested publicly, seems to be a money-losing product at present. The expected result is that it is the same as the 361 browser, and the market share is not profitable.
