In the eyes of ordinary Chinese people, Japanese food always seems to be relatively "deserted", maybe because it pays more attention to the sense of ritual? The red and green colors are all very delicate?
On the contrary, Japanese hotpots like Sukiyaki, like hotpots in China, bring a lot of fireworks. Especially the special sterile egg dipping sauce has a unique flavor.
"Li Sang, if our parallel line (book) starts operating, where should we open up the situation?" Yukichi Morimura was sweating profusely, and he asked sincerely.
"Of course it's a game. We don't have a parallel community to attract users to play games together."
"Computer games? Is it the model of Nintendo and Sega? I seem to have heard that the threshold is very high and requires a lot of investment? Do we really need to invest so much money?"
In this era, Japanese game developers are killing almost all over the world. Especially the monster Nintendo, which has erected high walls through the development of software, hardware and new games, has almost reached the level of monopoly.
To be honest, this is the reason why this book is disgusting. They all like to eat alone. Moreover, the patent fees and copyright fees are extremely expensive, leaving no way for other manufacturers to survive.
So in the end, fields like new energy, electric vehicles, etc. were overtaken by other countries... well! It was mainly China and the United States that overtook them in a corner, so they simply didn't bring a notebook to play with.
But no matter what, the game industry at this time is dominated by Japanese game companies headed by Nintendo, and they dominate the world.
Especially Nintendo. Later, Nintendo would never participate in exhibitions like the "World Game Show". But they would independently open a "Nintendo Expo"? And it would be in no way inferior to the "World Game Show"?
This shows how powerful Nintendo is?
Therefore, when it comes to computer games, Morimura Yuichi's first impression is of Nintendo's Famicom.
Li Yuan smiled and took a big bite of beef: "Morimura-san, it doesn't have to be so complicated. We open our own game platform so that game companies around the world can log in to their game stores. And we will get a share based on sales."
"Open platform?" Morimura Yukiichi was surprised, "Is there a fee?"
"Of course it's free. And according to the ranking, you will receive promotion activities from our parallel community."
Of course Li Yuan would not follow the path of the Famicom.
In a game console hardware battle like this, first there was the Famicom, then soon there was Sony's PS, and then Microsoft's Xbox?
Are you mentally ill and entering this bottomless pit of extreme cruelty?
And in this era, it is precisely the golden age when PC games are in full bloom and imagination is open. A large number of classic PC games have appeared. Of course, there are also countless PC games that are dead.
For example: Red Alert, Command and Conquer, Sword and Fairy, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao, Diablo, Warcraft, StarCraft, Taige Zhizhuan series...
I really miss those days when I stayed up all night in an Internet cafe! It used to bring endless joy.
But in his previous life, Li Yuan later learned more about it, and he also knew about the miserable situation of those game companies.
Being exploited horribly by monopolistic companies such as Nintendo. Most of the profits will be divided up by those leading companies, leaving only three or two pocket coins in their hands.
This is one of the reasons why many games back then were short-lived. If they were not true classics, they would not be able to survive profitably and be passed down, right?
In this case, let’s simply let go of this platform! Relying on the traffic of parallel lines is similar to the later game stores.
On the other hand, I have to admit that during this period, in terms of game development, apart from a few game companies like Blizzard in the United States, the strongest place was Benzi. Later, Bangzi also caught up.
Therefore, it is quite safe to use the game platform to open up parallel lines (books).
Now that Li Yuan had made up his mind, Morimura Yukiichi had no objection and nodded silently: "Li Sang, have you considered it? Almost all game companies now have consortium backgrounds. If they object,
, maybe financing is not that easy. Unless...?"
Li Yuan smiled "haha" and ate another piece of tofu.
It cannot be said that Morimura Yuichi's statement is wrong. In this country, if there is no nod from the consortium, it will be almost impossible. Therefore, the consortium will not support a new company, even a new company with an Internet concept, to compete with the original game company
Fight in the ring.
"Morimura-san, from now on we will focus on developing online games, and then web games."
"Online game? Web game?"
"You have to understand that we are an Internet company, and the direction of game development is of course online games. We will not compete in the same arena as Nintendo."
"Oh, that's how it is!"
"..."
…
In an exquisite elegant room, a group of people were already intoxicated with wine.
Li Yuanzheng smiled and talked eloquently: "President Jiangchuan, everyone, online games are the future development direction. The existing technology can basically support it, but it still needs commercial promotion, maybe in the next two or three years.
time……"
It was now evening. Li Yuan and Morimura Xingyi accepted the invitation and gathered with Egawa Nobuki and several representatives of the consortium. Here, Li Yuan began to brag about his "game theory" again.
Of course, excluding some elements of deception and exaggeration, Li Yuan actually did not mean to deceive.
Maybe just two or three years later, online games gradually became popular. After 2000, the online game market developed by leaps and bounds, and immediately became one of the most important game markets.
Of course, due to the copyright system of popular games abroad, which requires direct purchase, the development of online games is not very good. On the contrary, two strange companies have appeared in China, Ninetowns and Shanda, one is the agent for "Warcraft" and the other is "Legend". Through major
The point card system in Internet cafes made a lot of money and created two real legends?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then of course NetEase, which completely transformed into a game company, developed "Fantasy Westward Journey", a classic series of games...
There is a saying that it was precisely because the domestic game market was blank before that the miracle of online games took place. The huge profits brought by online games were fed back to the Internet industry, which not only promoted the development of subsequent web games and mobile games,
It also allowed the domestic Internet industry to catch up, eventually forming a situation in which China and the United States compete for hegemony in the Internet.
It should be said that in the history of the development of the Internet in China, one of the two that played the biggest role was Monternet, and the other was the emergence of online games. They provided a profit model and continuously supplemented the blood.
Of course, Li Yuan must be well aware that in the ecological environment of Japan and Europe and the United States, the development of online games is very difficult, and he will definitely face the joint efforts of a giant like Nintendo to strangle it.
But no one knows now? If you want to fool these investors, that is enough!
At best, after developing online games, we can give them to domestic Parabolic Technology and let them sell some cards. Then we can use Benzi's game development capabilities to get the maximum benefits.
Sure enough, Li Yuan's deception made Jiangchuan Xinxi and others very interested: "Li Sang, can the game open platform you mentioned support a group of small and medium-sized game companies and bring about a good employment rate."
"That's absolutely feasible." Li Yuan smiled and said, "Your country's game industry is already very mature, and there are a large number of outstanding developers, as well as a large number of new college students every year. Of course we welcome them to start a business and grow together. But Jiangchuan Sang
, this also requires your government and your bank to launch a series of supportive and preferential policies?"
"That's good." Nobuki Egawa smiled, "What's the final result? It doesn't really matter. The key is to give a very strong reason in order to get those stupid and ignorant politicians to approve it."
The elegant room burst into laughter.
As the president of Eastern Union Bank, Nobuki Egawa is mostly a bureaucrat. For them, results are not important, but political achievements are, and PPT is more important.
As for ridiculing politicians by the way? That's their political correctness. You know, they, these business bureaucrats, don't actually care about the politicians elected by the voters.
The laughter slowly stopped, and an old man named Sato asked Li Yuan in a gentle tone: "Li Sang, how much expected income can parallel lines (book) bring to us?"
State-owned policy banks like Eastern Union are different from those in China in that they are jointly funded by major consortiums and private banks.
Let’s put it bluntly! It’s just that consortiums and private banks have made too much and exploited the people too much. Just spend some money and do some good things that benefit the country and the people! It’s a disguised form of excess profit tax.
.
But in this country, no matter how good the policies are, they can still come up with new tricks. Who makes Benzi a consortium disguised as a country?
On the one hand, the board seats brought by the capital injection give the consortium and private banks a great say; on the other hand, isn't it the fundamental behavior of the consortium to harm the public and enrich private interests?
How could you not care about investment returns?
Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Mr. Sato, the current market situation of the Tokyo Stock Exchange is very sluggish. You should hope to rescue the market, right? What you look forward to most is the IPO of high-quality companies. We can analyze the parallel lines (book) and catch up with the latest high-tech trends.
, the most popular Internet concept; it has core products - Parallel Browser and U2 social communication software; it has Parallel Community and an open game platform..."
"I would like to interrupt you." Sato nodded and apologized, "What we need is income, not illusory prospects. I hope you can tell the truth. How much return will we get from our investment? How much risk will there be?"
One thing to say is that traditional businessmen like Sato have concepts that are incompatible with the Internet. In other words, what they want is real money, not some pie-in-the-sky pie.
And in this early stage of the Internet, there are few successful examples, so we can't rest assured at all.
Li Yuan replied: "Mr. Sato, you have just introduced the game. Parallel Browser also has sales data. Then let's talk about U2."
"U2? Is this the communication you just mentioned?"
"It's this social communication software. You can imagine, chatting? exchanging information? working on a PC?"
"That doesn't make sense, right? Aren't you free? At most, you can promote some advertisements?" This Sato doesn't know anything.
"Haha. On the PC, the most traffic-draining function can be achieved. This is indeed the case. But Mr. Sato, if it can be transplanted to mobile phones in the future? And can it replace a large number of mobile phone calls and make chatting on mobile phones very convenient? And the Japanese version of U2 will
Will all of them be licensed to Parallel Line (Book)? You should be able to imagine the huge market in the future?"
Jiang Chuan, Sato and the others gradually became dim. They immediately understood what Li Yuan meant. Doesn't this mean monopolizing this market? Although they don't know whether they will succeed in the future, as long as there is hope of monopoly, they are willing to commit murder and arson.
?
Also, how to achieve a monopoly, how to use the monopoly to obtain excess profits? Is this difficult for consortiums like them?
Li Yuan continued with a smile: "We can also imitate Nasdaq and launch the GEM of the Eastern Stock Exchange, shorten the listing process time, and lower the listing standards for start-up companies. Isn't one or two years enough? Now the world is
If you are hyping the concept of the Internet, as soon as it is listed on the market, won’t it be realized by more than ten times or dozens of times?”
Li Yuan almost made it clear - why do you have to worry about the future of Parallel Line (Book)? Cutting leeks after listing is the good style of your consortium.
Everyone else smiled faintly. This sentence is the most pleasing to the ear. Couldn't it be over if I said it earlier?
Sato and Egawa Nobuki looked at each other, and Egawa Nobuki smiled and asked: "Li Sang, if a friend wants to invest together, how should the equity be divided?"
The most critical thing is, of course, the distribution of benefits.
Li Yuan smiled and said: "We will go public through the angel round, round A, round B, and the final road show, and we can entrust it to your designated investment bank. When the final listing occurs, my equity here will not be less than 49%...
"
Seeing Jiang Chuan Nobuki wanted to speak, Li Yuan stopped him with a smile: "Listen patiently to what I have to say. Parallel Line Technology's US headquarters, they have 15% as a strategic investor. I personally have 10%, and the other is Morimura-san's equity incentives. Gradually,
Increased to 5%. We’re really only keeping 30%!”
Nobuki Egawa asked Sato with his eyes, and then smiled. Not to mention other public financings, he now has a full 19% of the equity, allowing these people here to operate in secret.
Someone suddenly asked: "Li Sang, according to your prediction, what is the total market value after listing?"
"Because Parallel (Benzi) is an independent listed company, and what the Internet looks at is traffic. In the final analysis, it is the total number of users. Parallel in the United States now has a total market value of tens of billions, and your country's population is only one-third of the United States.
If you put another discount, after all, it is not as developed as the United States. Therefore, after listing, the total market value should be more than 1.5 billion US dollars!"
Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief. 19% of 1.5 billion US dollars? Almost 300 million US dollars, everyone distributed it together?
