My Age of Investment

   Chapter 853

   "It doesn't matter whether the name is elegant or not, it is always just a code name, and easy to remember and easy to read are the most important."

  Xia Jingxing thought about the names of various online payment companies, but they couldn't escape the keywords such as "pay", "money", "tong", and "bao".

  An ancient copper coin, with XX Tongbao printed on it.

The names of Huang Xinbao can not be regarded as vulgar. Several companies that are the first to launch online payment platforms must have considered how to make a name to facilitate brand communication.

  It’s too elegant, but I add to myself.

  "Then I will collect opinions internally, and try to come up with the two best memorable and best pronounced names."

  Huang Xin smiled. He also knew that his naming skills were not good enough, so he planned to gather the best of everyone.

  Xia Jingxing smiled and nodded, the online payment platform is the standard equipment of the giants, sooner or later, they have to do it, they are not too late, Tenpay was launched only the year before, and Alipay was born a year earlier and was born in 2004.

  However, everyone is currently at the same level, and the gap is not big.

  Maybe Alipay will develop faster, because the use of e-commerce is stronger than virtual currency recharge and game props trading.

  But when the market share is truly determined, we have to wait until the mobile Internet era.

   "Mr. Xia, I went to South Korea last month and inspected the game company there and found two good games. We can consider taking the agency right in the mainland market."

Wu Yimin laughed and said: "Shanda and Jiucheng both started with agency games. At present, we have insufficient research and development strength and experience. Acting games, strengthening ourselves, and strengthening self-research are the only way to go from weak to strong. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, and judged objectively that it is difficult for the game team of Hainei.com to squeeze into the second echelon of the industry, let alone the first echelon.

  At this time, the Chinese game team is generally weaker than the South Korean team, which is also an indisputable fact.

  Agent game is one of the development strategies he has set before.

  He suddenly became a little curious about which two games Wu Yimin liked.

   "Okay, tell me about the two games you are fancy to!"

  Wu Yimin nodded and began to introduce: "The first game is called "Crossing Fire". It is an FPS first-person shooter jointly created by SmileGate and Neowiz.

  The developer Shimankai is a small company that was established last year with only 33 people.

  Neowiz is the top publisher of the Korean row.

  Because of this, since the beginning of the game's development last year, Smankai invited Neowiz to participate in the planning and development of the client and server.

  The game has not been developed yet, but it is nearing the end, and the public beta will be launched in Korea around the middle of this year.

  CS Counter-Strike is very popular in China. Boys, no one doesn’t like gunfight games.

  Moreover, "Cross Fire" is an online game. It is no longer limited to local networks. Players from all over the world can gather in one room, which will be more interactive and interesting.

  I guess, this game will definitely have a big market in China.

  Also, Shimankai is only a small company, and the game agency fee will not be particularly high. It is very suitable as our first agency game. We can also take this opportunity to practice hands and train soldiers. "

  Xia Jingxing didn't know that Wu Yimin was the person in charge of "Crossing Fire" that Penguin was acting as agent. He was lucky and went to Korea and found a treasure.

   "What about the second game?" Xia Jingxing looked at Wu Yimin with a smile, and his expectations for the latter were getting higher and higher.

""Battlefield King", abbreviated as AVA, is a shooting game developed by the well-known Korean manufacturer Redduck using the Unreal 3 engine. It has strategic multi-arms gameplay, rich game modes, and a variety of weapon modification systems. I have seen semi-finished products, it is definitely a high-quality work."

  Huang Xin frowned and said, “Isn’t there already a shooting game? If another one is introduced, it won’t be possible to fight side by side?”

  Wu Yimin shook his head: "No, it's double insurance. Shooting games definitely have a market in China, but for shooting games, there must be high and low levels.

  In my opinion, the quality of "King of the Battlefield" is still higher than that of "Cross Fire".

  If we introduce "Cross Fire" and domestic competitors introduce "King of Battlefield", it will be very detrimental to us. "

  Huang Xin felt that the company had money and couldn’t waste it like this. He was about to speak out against it, but Xia Jingxing waved his hand to stop it.

  "Have you talked about the agency fees for these two games? Can you synchronize the closed beta with South Korea?"

  Wu Yimin shook his head fiercely: "Impossible. It has always been South Korea that goes online first, and China goes online later. Depending on the popularity of related games in South Korea, the agency price will then be negotiated."

  Xia Jingxing did not speak, he had heard an interesting news in his previous life, the Penguin agent "King of the Battlefield", South Korea comes with a "Crossing Fire".

  As a result, "Crossing the Line of Fire" is on fire, and "King of the Battlefield" is cold.

  The world is so impermanent!

  "Apart from these two games, do you see any good games or companies in Korea?" Xia Jingxing asked.

  Wu Yimin thought that Xia Jingxing was greedy, and persuaded: “Mr. Xia, the agency game should also be localized and improved and operated. We are acting for two games at the same time, which is almost the limit.”

   "It's okay, I just ask, I need to weigh the games that I decide to introduce."

  Wu Yimin gave an "Oh", and then went on to introduce: "The Korean game industry is very developed, with many giants, and there are more well-known game manufacturers.

  Webzen, the developer of "Miracle";

  NCsoft, the developer of "Paradise";

  "Legend" developers ActozSoft, Wemade entertainment virtues;

  Nexon, the developer of well-known games such as "Bubble Hall", "Rocky", "Adventure Island", "Running Kart" and other well-known games;

   Neople, the developer of "Dungeon and Warrior"..."

   Hearing a special name, Xia Jingxing hurriedly stopped: "Wait, the developer of "Dungeon and Warrior" is still a well-known manufacturer. Is this game very popular in Korea?"

Wu Yimin smiled and replied: "Yes, this game is very popular. It was launched in South Korea in August 2005. The number of people who are online at the same time in Hanbok has reached 150,000. It is often ranked in the top three in Korean Internet cafes. For national online games.

  At the same time, they are also the industry's first online game product that successfully combines 2D fighting horizontal clearance and role-playing, which can be regarded as a new model for online game development and operation.

  I heard that Penguin, Jiucheng, Shanda, Jiuyou, and Lianzhong are all vying for the mainland agency rights of this game. "

  Huang Xin interjected: "Why? It has been popular in South Korea for more than a year, and no manufacturer has made up his mind to introduce it to China? It's me, and I have to grab the money!"

   Huang Xin's words once again exposed his layman, Wu Yimin smiled bitterly: "The truth is such a truth, but the game is popular in South Korea, not necessarily in China.

   "Legend" was tepid in South Korea, but it exploded in China.

  The popularity of "Paradise" in Korea is equivalent to that of "Legend" in China. What happened?

  After the introduction of "Paradise" to China, the highest number of online users was 10,000, and the number of online users of "Legend" was as high as 500,000 during the same period.

  Therefore, there is a certain risk in introducing a game that is popular in Korea at a high price.

  Especially Korean games have been very popular in the Chinese market in recent years, and Koreans’ prices have become increasingly outrageous.

  If the game really becomes popular behind the game, there is nothing wrong with asking for an increase in agency fees when renewing the contract.

  But now they come up with a high price, who wants to be taken advantage of?

  I guess, "Dungeon and Warriors" is in a stalemate like this, the price is not up to date, and these domestic game manufacturers are also very hesitant. "

  Huang Xin nodded: "I see, it seems that the game industry is also very deep. Every time an agent is an adventure."

"Yes!"

  Wu Yimin sighed: "Like five or six years ago, when domestic online games were just starting out, they would just represent a foreign online game when they came back, and the money would flow into pockets.

  Not working anymore!

  Users are also growing, and their tastes are getting more and more disconcerting. Originally, they only asked for "fullness", but now they also ask for "good food".

  In short, the game agency fees have already risen, and it is almost impossible to imagine Chen Tianqiao as he did in the past. "

   "Don't say, Chen Tianqiao's servant is really good fortune!" Huang Xin envied.

   "Isn't it! "Legend" made his legend." Wu Yimin echoed his words, and his eyes were full of envy.

   "Don't go far! I will send you a word that the money you make with luck will eventually lose out with your strength."

  Hearing Xia Jingxing's words, both of them nodded on the surface, but they still had some disapproval in their hearts. Today's Shanda is at its peak, and the entire game industry is almost out of breath. There is no sign of decline.

  Xia Jingxing tapped his finger on the desktop. Anyone who is familiar with him knows that this is an expression of serious thinking.

  Huang Xin and Wu Yimin did not dare to disturb them, but waited quietly.

   "Take "Crossing the Line of Fire" and "Dungeon and Warrior" all!"

   Hearing this result, Wu Yimin was a little surprised and asked: "Mr. Xia, is it better to replace it with "King of the Battlefield"?"

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, and resolutely said: "No, just set "Crossing the Line of Fire"."

  Wu Yimin pondered for a moment, and said: ""Dungeon and Warriors" is fortunate to say that it can participate in the battle, but "Cross Fire" will have to wait for the first half of the year before this game is launched in Korea before we can talk about agency."

   "None of these considerations. When I said "take down", I meant to take down both companies."

  Wu Yimin was startled for a moment, and stammered: "Should you take... the purchase?"

   "Otherwise?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “The Koreans have a bad problem. The game is a little hotter, so you have to sit on the floor and start the price. I will give them all the pots and see what else they eat!”

  Wu Yimin only then remembered that the boss in front of him is not only the big boss of Hainet.com, but also the richest man in China, who is well-known in the world.

  Acquisition of two game companies, just sprinkle water.

   "Mr. Xia, Neople is considered a medium-sized manufacturer, and there is also a good masterpiece "Dungeon and Warriors". The acquisition of them makes sense.

  Kesmankay is just a small company, and "Cross Fire" has not yet been launched. The acquisition involves certain risks and may not necessarily be valuable. "Wu Yimin persuaded.

"Because of this, the purchase price is low. Didn't you say that shooting games are promising? Even if "Crossing Fire" eventually fails, this team has gained experience and can continue to develop shooting games as our FPS studio. "

  Xia Jingxing's gaze swept across the cheeks of Wu Yimin, Huang Xin, and other executives of Hainei.com, and said every word: "We are playing games on Hainei.com, if we don't move, we will be thunderous when we move!"

  The executives had solemn expressions, and they instantly learned the power of "money ability".
