Magic City.

Zhou Buqi had already been mentally prepared.

Shi Yuzhu wanted to play a trick of lending flowers to Buddha to make him cry with gratitude. He was really bullying his youth.

After going to the Giant, I was a little surprised. In his current capacity, Shi Yuzhu did not come out to greet him, but only sent a beautiful female secretary out.

"Mr. Shi is in a meeting?"

"No, I'm playing a game."

"What?"

Zhou Buqi couldn't laugh or cry.

The secretary looked serious, "Giant is a game company, and the boss has to be on the front line in person and is the chief experiencer of the company's products."

"All right."

Zhou Buqi shrugged, the boss was right in everything he did.

When I went to the office, I saw Shi Yuzhu sitting at his desk, concentrating on playing games, with a man and a woman waiting beside him. It was such an inspiring picture.

Zhou Buqi didn't like playing games and said angrily: "Old Shi, are you still playing?"

"Ah?" Shi Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, "Oh, you're here. Wait a minute while I finish this dungeon! Meimei, take good care of Mr. Zhou."

Then, I immersed myself in playing games again.

The female secretary was also a little embarrassed and said sarcastically: "Mr. Zhou, please sit down first and I'll make you tea. Our boss doesn't usually act like this, so he doesn't treat you as an outsider."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll wait here for a while. Stop making tea and have a few cups of coffee. I worked too late last night. You see, my two secretaries didn't sleep well."

"Okay, coffee."

The female secretary Meimei smiled, her eyes full of admiration.

At the same time, I feel a little helpless about the absurdity of my boss.

Why can't we learn from Mr. Zhou?

It seems that these two secretaries are not in good spirits. They must be too busy and tired from work yesterday.

Those who work hard will never have bad luck.

Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi, my job is very leisurely, but I lack the motivation to make progress. If you can work half as hard as Mr. Zhou, I will be willing to work even harder!

As the female secretary went to make coffee, she sighed inwardly, feeling that her good years were wasted.

Ten minutes later, Shi Yuzhu finally finished playing the dungeon. He seemed to have picked up some magical equipment. He was so happy that he cheered.

Then, he stood up and gave up his position to the male assistant beside him, allowing him to continue leveling.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "What a great assistant you are. He is also responsible for helping you play games."

Shi Yuzhu hummed: "This is the game booster I specially hired."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Yes, professional."

"Let's go next door and chat. I want to ask you something."

Shi Yuzhu took him to the next door. The environment was fresh, there were several pots of green plants, and it was much cleaner.

Then when talking about "Three Kingdoms", Shi Yuzhu's attitude was very relaxed. It's just a web game, not worth mentioning! It can be solved easily!

The copyright of "Three Kingdoms" originally belonged to Youka, and Youka is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ziweixing. Now that Ziweixing wants to take back the copyright, Shanda has no reason not to let it go.

Once there is a breakup, even if Shanda can hold the copyright of "Three Kingdoms", it will not be able to develop a good game without the cooperation of game cards. When doing business, you should not let your anger go, you must put profits first.

Zhou Buqi told him not to be careless. The development of the game "Three Kingdoms" is not simply an entrustment, but also a share of the revenue from future games.

If Youka only paid to entrust Winger to develop the game "Three Kingdoms", it would be very simple. You can just take it back, and at worst, you won't need the deposit.

But the games developed under this model are often unsatisfactory.

The interests of both parties must be deeply tied to develop a good game. If the development is purely entrusted, the winger will pay and deliver the goods, and it will be settled afterwards. Whether the game is good or not, whether it will be successful or not, has nothing to do with them. In the game

Not enough care in design and development.

If 50% of the future revenue of the "Three Kingdoms" game is given to Winger, it will not only save an early game development cost for the game card, but also save subsequent maintenance, operation and upgrade costs, and it can also bring the depth of both parties to the game.

Bundle up and work together to make the game.

This is just like "The Voice" gives tutors very low salaries, but has to pay them profit dividends from future earnings; the Blind Box of the Three Kingdoms series also gives chief designer Zheng Zigong a very low salary, but has to pay them future profit dividends.

In fact, they all have the same principle, which is the option mechanism.

This kind of contract bundling is very complicated.

If you breach the contract directly, you may now have to pay liquidated damages of 150 million to 200 million yuan.

Ziweixing only spent 30 million to acquire the game card, so naturally it cannot be taken advantage of.

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "I must take back the copyright. If Shanda doesn't agree, I will have to pay liquidated damages."

Shi Yuzhu waved his hands lightly and said with a smile: "It's not that serious. It's not like that. Now Lao Chen is much more low-key and doesn't dare to cause trouble. If you ask you to pay liquidated damages, isn't this going to turn the tables? He is timid now, and he doesn't dare to cause trouble."

I dare to have a quarrel with you. Don’t worry, this matter will be taken care of by me. Later, I will hand over all of Giant’s game advertising agency business to Shanda. You are attaching conditions, so the negotiation is settled.”

Zhou Buqi looked filled with gratitude, "Old Shi, thank you so much!"

"You're welcome."

Shi Yuzhu waved his hand grandly, feeling as if he could just pick it up.

Zhou Buqi complimented again: "Last year, I also heard that an investment bank questioned the stock price risk of Giant Network, thinking that your popular game "Zhengtu" is too risky to walk on one leg. I heard that you have launched

A new game called Giant."

Shi Yuzhu said happily: "Yes, "Giant", the results are not bad. It was released to the public in March and now the number of people online at the same time has exceeded 350,000."

"Is this considered walking on two legs?"

"yes."

"If you are tired from walking, you still need to do a foot massage to relax."

"Ahem..."

Shi Yuzhu's face suddenly turned red, and he immediately realized that his little plan had been revealed.

"Giant" has been ordered to rectify its in-game advertising because of its vulgarity.

Otherwise, he would not be so cruel as to change advertising agencies.

We need to show off to the authorities and show the determination of Giant Network.

As soon as he clicked, Zhou Buqi did not go into details and asked with a smile: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you. By the way, what did you want to talk to me about just now?"

Shi Yuzhu said seriously: "Well, there is something very important that I'm not sure about. Please help me come up with an idea."

"What?"

"What do you think of 51?"

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi’s head is getting bigger.

51 again!

In Pengcheng, I had a chat with Mr. Ma. When I came to Shanghai, Mr. Shi also wanted to mention this.

Zhou Buqi doesn't have a deep understanding of the company 51, mainly because he doesn't like it. The company's level is too low to reach the level that Ziweixing pays close attention to.

Shi Yuzhu said: "Myspace invested US$300 million to acquire 51. Have you heard about this?"

Zhou Buqi nodded and asked slightly, "I heard that the acquisition failed?"

Shi Yuzhu said: "Well, it failed. But 51 is short of money now and is eager to raise funds. This is a hot topic, and many venture capital institutions have participated."

"Yeah?"

Zhou Buqi was careless.

"Huh?" Shi Yuzhu couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw him being so cold, "Have you never followed 51? This is the third largest community network in the country, right? It is in the top ten with a stable number of PVs, second only to Friends.

, qq space, Baidu, Weidian, Toutiao and other major websites.”

"Having high traffic but not being able to monetize it is no different from having no traffic." Zhou Buqi waved his hand, curious, "Why did you suddenly ask about 51? You can't...you don't want to invest in 51, right?"

Shi Yuzhu said: "They are all enterprises in Shanghai, and Giant Network is paying attention. 51's traffic cannot be monetized, so just find a way to monetize the traffic. Not to mention other venture capital investments, even Alibaba wants to get involved!

"

"Ali?" Zhou Buqi looked shocked, "Ali is interested in 51?"

Shi Yuzhu said matter-of-factly: "That's for sure. Alibaba is engaged in e-commerce, and what it's best at is traffic monetization. Combined with 51, it will be very effective."

Zhou Buqi frowned, "I haven't heard of it!"

However, the business logic of Alibaba’s investment in 51 exists.

The most important thing when doing e-commerce is to find traffic.
