Chapter 758 The next 10 years (3)(1/2)
"In 2001, when I was a senior in college, I came to "Beiqing Daily" for an internship."
"After experiencing various departments, I finally chose the Entertainment News Department as my destination. My leader at the time was Yu Jiajia, who was the director of the department. Later, I recruited her instead..."
"Hahaha!"
Yao Yuan stood on the stage and recalled the past seriously.
In fact, he doesn't make many public appearances, and he doesn't make any shocking speeches. The main role is well established, and he has realized all the awesome things he has boasted about. He is not too mean to netizens - compared with his peers.
Coupled with his superb appearance and various factors, he is as popular as he is today.
"At that time, the first wave had stopped, winter was coming, investment was sluggish, and the domestic Internet industry was also at a trough. Fortunately, the operators stepped in to help. Tencent, Sohu, Sina, NetEase, Tom... were able to survive that period.
In the cold winter, it all depends on the rapid expansion of the SMS industry relying on the mobile phone market."
"At that time, I also joined in, scraped together some money, built a very simple personal website, and started a text message business. And relying on the director's reputation, I rented a utility room in the newspaper building... Well, this is it.
!”
On the big screen, a dilapidated small room, three or four tables, and several computers appeared.
Today's theme is: past, present, future.
The five previous groups of people have already talked about nostalgia. Yao Yuan didn’t want to repeat it any more, so he stopped here. He introduced his entrepreneurial experience and then turned to the present.
Now it’s very simple, let’s talk about this year’s performance.
The big screen clearly displayed: "300 million community users!"
“Maimai users are 320 million!”
“Weibo users are 270 million!”
“WeChat has 51 million users!”
“The total number of game users exceeded 140 million!”
Then there is the estimated revenue. Due to the lack of advertising, there is a serious bias. Communities, Weibo, and WeChat are all losing money. Only Maimai estimates revenue of 3 billion through value-added services.
But the game is exaggerated. A big 12.5 billion is printed on the screen, stimulating everyone's attention!
There are also individual items below: "Dungeon and Fighter" 3.6 billion, "Zhu Xian" series 1.7 billion... Among them, overseas mobile games are highlighted, with revenue of 3.9 billion yuan...
"It's a tie!"
Far away in Penguin headquarters in Shenzhen, Xiao Ma, who was watching the live broadcast, stood up abruptly, feeling a huge panic filling his body.
Social networking is the foundation of Tencent, and games are the core, almost entirely relying on games. The estimated revenue of Tencent games this year is almost 12 billion!
There was still a gap between the two sides last year, but this year, they are even!
Thinking of the defeat of WeChat not long ago, Xiao Ma was a little depressed for a while.
It is always said that Tencent relies on strong social channels to attract traffic to games, which is not entirely true. Some games need it and some don't. Tencent Games has formed a mature system and can promote itself.
After entering the mobile era, this distinction will become more obvious.
For example, if "Sheep Got a Sheep" needs to attract traffic, then it can be built on a WeChat mini program. For example, "Tianya Mingyue Dao", a large-scale martial arts PC game, can be promoted normally.
Of course, Xiao Ma didn't think so much at the moment. He lost the WeChat battle and the game was tied. He just felt a shadow hanging over him.
Although Tencent still has nearly 10 billion worth of value-added services and its overall revenue is stronger than the other party, the other party is not complete. This is just the social + game part, as well as e-commerce, entertainment, and mobile phones!
Brother Xiao Ma has always thought that his industry is huge, but it turns out that 99 is really huge!
"..."
The reaction at the scene was even stronger. The entrepreneurs were okay. The celebrities all stared at the numbers with wide eyes, shocked and drooling.
They can't imagine how a game, a game, can make so much money?
This is not the future, Fan Xiaopang can pay 800 million, Wei Ya was fined 1.3 billion, the money is like waste paper. In short, the stars looked at Yao Yuan with awe, hunger, greed, and hatred for him.
Marry young.
The focus of Yao Yuan's part is not the past and present, but the future. He listed his achievements and said a few transitional words. The big screen changed and a line appeared: "What will we look like in the next 10 years?"
As the music started playing, a short video started to play, and it was another commercial CP: Hu Ge and Liu Yifei.
At night, the office building is brightly lit.
Hu Ge looked like an elite white-collar worker. He was working overtime on a project. He checked the time after working for a while, stopped temporarily, and called out: "Hello, Xiaoxi!"
"I am here!"
The mobile phone placed aside suddenly lit up, and a sweet female voice came out.
"Open [Pocket Viewer] and cut to the living room."
"OK!"
As the voice fell, the camera showed a living room, a cute camera indicator light flashed, and then it switched back to the mobile phone, and the living room scene actually appeared on the screen.
Liu Yifei is wearing a white housecoat, revealing a round calf, and is sleeping on the sofa...
Hu Ge smiled and said: "Turn on the speaker and play "Pig Song" by Jin Sha!"
"OK!"
"Pig, you have two holes in your nose, and you still have snot when you have a cold. Pig, you have pitch-black eyes, and you can't see anywhere when you look..."
Jin Sha's voice echoed in the theater, and some people couldn't help laughing. Hu Ge and Jin Sha were also a couple in "Myth".
"Um?"
Liu Yifei was awakened by the singing, her hair disheveled and confused, and then she found the culprit, a smart speaker on the table.
She pouted, touched a Meizu phone, clicked on WeChat, and selected [Video Call].
Hu Ge's face appeared on the phone.
"Hey, wife!"
"When will you come back?"
"I'll be back in a while, be good."
"Really for a while?"
"Really, about more than an hour."
"Oh, then I'll cook!"
Liu Yifei scratched her head, looked out the window at the dark night, and muttered: "Xiaoxi!"
"I am here!"
"Draw the curtains!"
"OK!"
She got up and walked from the living room to the kitchen, as if she had walked from reality into a science fiction movie. With her control, the curtains slowly closed, the ceiling light automatically adjusted the brightness, the sweeping robot began to work buzzingly, and the humidifier also started to work.
Puff puff puffing out water vapor...
She was busy in the kitchen for a while, and while waiting for the soup to be made, she returned to the sofa in the living room.
Turn on the smart TV, and it is no longer a traditional TV station, but a selection of options: movies, TV series, variety shows, animations, games...
Liu Yifei chose the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and there was a huge logo on the top: Maili Video!
"Brother Xiaoyao, I won't die. I want to stay with brother Xiaoyao..."
"Ling'er!"
"..."
Zhao Ling'er fell into Li Xiaoyao's arms with blood on her face and said her last words. Liu Yifei shook her head and sighed: "Oh, your acting is really bad!"
"Ha ha!"
All kinds of plays within plays made it very enjoyable for everyone to watch.
As Liu Yifei watched, she suddenly slapped her head, picked up her phone, clicked on the mall, and selected [Maiwo Home Delivery]. There was a clear line on it: Delivery to your home in 1 hour!
Sure enough, not long after, the doorbell rang.
She looked through the smart video doorbell, opened the door, took a bouquet of roses, happily inserted it into the vase, and placed it on the table.
On the other side, Hu Ge finally finished his overtime shift.
He was driving the car on the streets of Beijing at night, and halfway through he received Liu Yifei's voice: "The meal is ready!"
"Thank you for your hard work, I'm going back too!"
"Well, I'll wait for you!"
"..."
After hanging up the language, Hu Ge turned on the phone, and suddenly a different wake-up tone came: "Classmate Xiaoxi!"
"I am here!"
This time it's not the mobile phone, but the car's display that lights up.
To be continued...
