The 4th Mobile Internet Conference has come to an end.
In Yao Yuan's view, apart from Developer Day, which has some significance, all other [high-end dialogues] are just empty talk. Some companies have announced that they will go out, some have said that they will come in, some have said that they will start making money, and some have said that they are still here.
Increase the number of users...
The main theme is fun.
Of course, he had some gains, such as publicizing 99’s adjustments to support third-party developers, which generated a lot of traffic. He also felt very happy when he criticized Xiao Ma.
Since the end of 99 Developer Days, Gu Jiaming has been busy.
Wave after wave of independent studios come to our door, hoping to cooperate or invest. In fact, many people are not resistant to the introduction of capital.
Even so, Gu Jiaming did not forget his mission and took a photo of MiHoYo's information on Yao Yuan's desk that night.
Yao Yuan took a look.
At the end of last year, Skye Network invested 1 million, accounting for 15% of the shares. It was officially established at the beginning of this year. The four-person team turned into a three-person team and is developing a game about beautiful girls fighting zombies.
"Is this the popular "Honkai Academy 1"?"
Yao Yuan guessed, thinking about his strategy for MiHoYo.
Either invest or acquire it, but now is not the best time. It is better to wait until "Honkai Academy 1" hits the market, MiHoYo has spent all the money and can no longer live on porridge, then start at 99.
As for Skye Network…
Yao Yuan scratched his head, will he disappear in a few years? Forget it, we will discuss it then.
Another day later, Gu Jiaming submitted a piece of information about a small studio with great potential discovered at the Mobile Internet Conference.
Pasiya and Coconut Island are prominently listed.
The "Planet Explorer" Pasya is working on is a pixel-style sandbox game, especially European and American. The company is in Chongqing, and the district government found someone to invest 3 million. It was far from enough, so they came to Commander Yao to beg for help.
.
"what do you think?"
"Wu Zifei has worked in the United States for several years. He has rich experience and is familiar with the preferences of European and American players. He is a potential stock. However, Pasiya is supported by the local government and part of his equity has been given away."
"Then invest, 20% of the shares."
"good!"
Gu Jiaming nodded and said: "This Coconut Island Studio is also great. The founder is very thoughtful."
"Ye Island..."
Yao Yuan frowned.
This company later developed an ancient business simulation mobile game called "Hundred Scenes of Jiangnan". Players must play the role of Wen Zhengming and redraw the grand scenery of Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty, urban planning, and make money in business.
There is a card-drawing game where various historical celebrities can be drawn, each with their own talents and skills. One of the characters is Yue Fei, who was designed to look like a "shirtless, leading a sheep without a crown" and was widely criticized by netizens.
Then Yedao Games apologized, saying that the planning team’s historical knowledge was insufficient...
What a big joke!
It's not that they have insufficient historical knowledge, it's just that they understand it too well, and that's why they let Yue Fei take advantage of him.
This allusion comes from "Zuo Zhuan", which refers to the defeated party being shirtless, holding a sheep, kneeling to the winner to beg for peace... The second Huiqin sect did this, and was stripped of his clothes, covered with sheep fur, and hung around his neck.
They were led by Jin soldiers with a rope to the Jin Taizu Temple to offer sacrifices. This is called the "Sheep-Leading Ceremony".
As a result, this sheep-taking ceremony was placed on Yue Fei.
"Then what is the founder's name?"
"Bao Weiwei!"
"Don't let him show up again."
"Is the Miyun Reservoir filled with cement?" Gu Jiaming was surprised.
"What the hell, have you watched too much "The Godfather"? I mean, I don't like this guy, let him be ruined."
"oh……"
Gu Jiaming breathed a sigh of relief. If you don't like it, just don't like it. The boss has spoken. It's bad luck for you. You won't have to think about it in this life.
"By the way, keep an eye on MiHoYo and talk to them when they are down."
"good!"
No need to ask in detail, everyone understood that Gu Jiaming had finally grown into a senior executive and nodded.
…………
Song Tao from Skye Network was quite embarrassed this time. He announced a latest smartphone app store at the Developer Day. His speech was full of passion. Unfortunately, the media didn’t give him a thumbs up—they couldn’t afford public relations fees. Who would?
This is a broken company?
MiHoYo's three giants showed up at the conference, and with the regret of not meeting their idol Commander Yao, they returned to Shanghai dejectedly and continued to develop "Honkai Academy 1".
They are confused now and have great ambitions, but they have no idea what is waiting for them in the future. They just want to finish the game and launch it in the second half of the year.
As for Gu Jiaming.
Quickly carrying out the boss's wishes and investing in Pasiya, Wu Zifei happily received millions of dollars and offered 20% of the shares with both hands, calling Commander Yao Renyi.
To be honest, Yao Yuan really has no interest in acquiring such a small company that does not involve strategic policies. He can just invest and build a good reputation.
He can't start by scolding Tencent first and then start by being more disgusting than Tencent. Then it will be ruined...
As for Yedao Games, Gu Jiaming thought about it and decided to invest first.
Bao Weiwei is still a small person, and there is no point in getting rid of him. First, he will make the company stronger, and then Chi Guoguo will take away everything from him and make him unable to stand up. This is the plan formulated by Gu Jiaming.
I'm somewhat of a middle-class player, but there's nothing I can do about it. How many people who make games are not a middle-class player?
In fact, these are all small things, and Yao Yuan can just mention a few words. Also in May, some truly influential events happened.
Wanda announced that it has officially completed the acquisition of AMC, the world’s second largest theater chain, for US$3.1 billion!
As soon as the news came out, the whole Internet was shocked.
This is the largest overseas acquisition in the domestic entertainment industry, and it is still Hollywood. Countless netizens are happy and feel that the era of Chinese capital entering Hollywood has come, and Liu Yifei and DiCaprio will be able to star together in the future!
However, analysts are not optimistic because Wanda's total market value is only US$16 billion, and the domestic cinema infrastructure is in a very primitive state. It can expand domestically at a very small cost. As a result, it has to go to the United States to buy cinema chains, and it still owes a debt.
Butt debt kind of thing.
Lao Wang doesn't care about these nonsense, they have their own plans.
In short, after Wanda secured AMC, Yu Jiajia came to talk about the two theaters in Hong Kong.
At the same time, Maili Video is also preparing to launch variety shows this year. In addition to "Qian'er Brother's Kitchen" and "Flowers and Boys Season 3", there are also the much-anticipated "The Voice of China 2" and the new program "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
》……
Yao Yuan doesn't care much about all these things. He only focuses on Gaode now.
Why is map navigation a perfect complement to the ecosystem?
The simplest ones include tracking real-time updates on express delivery, ordering takeout to see where the delivery boy is, and taking taxis via Didi. These three major businesses all require the support of map navigation.
In later generations, they are all built-in services, using either AutoNavi, Baidu, or Tencent.
So 99 is a must.
So not long after the conference ended, Yao Yuan took the initiative to call Cheng Congwu: "Mr. Cheng? How about a drink at night? Dongsi Kong Yiji Tavern, a good place, with fennel beans..."
(No more!
It’s so hot this summer, even hotter than last year.)
