Chapter five hundred and seventy-six unimagined direction
There is no doubt that capital is eager for quick success and quick profit. Driven by the nature of profit-seeking, capital never sleeps and will not give up until every trace of profit is squeezed out.
But if capital can, like Zhou Dongsheng, know the future upper limit of a project, it can naturally remain calm and composed in the face of ultra-high return on investment.
But obviously, even Buffett does not have Zhou Dongsheng's firm confidence. After all, no matter how accurate the future expectations are, seeing is believing.
Although Buffett's marksmanship is accurate, no matter how accurate his marksmanship is, he can only feel inferior to a simple and crude lock without any technical content.
Therefore, knowing that Mihayo has extremely high future expectations to support him, investor Zhou Dongsheng is naturally willing to show extraordinary tolerance.
No matter how much additional investment is made, it will only be a drop in the bucket compared to future returns.
But in Cai Haoyu's eyes, it was Zhou Dongsheng's unreserved trust and support. Cai Haoyu also had a soft-spoken temperament.
If Zhou Dongsheng uses coercion and inducement as an investor, it may arouse Cai Haoyu's resentment, and he would rather Zhou Dongsheng withdraw his capital than accept the offer.
However, Cai Haoyu just followed this trick, and his trust in "Honkai Impact 3" couldn't help but add another layer to prove his second-tier taste.
The reason why Mihayo is able to implement the two-dimensional style to the end and even form a unique corporate culture is naturally inseparable from the leader.
Obviously, Cai Haoyu is a senior two-thorned ape, otherwise he would not use the second-rate line "technical nerd saves the world" as the company slogan.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhou Dongsheng positioned Mihayo as an investment target, that is, it is the type that will become a blockbuster even if it does not make a sound. It has the confidence to open for three years, so why not even if it does not open for three years?
So in terms of concepts, I naturally hit it off with Cai Haoyu and had a great time talking to each other.
Even Cai Haoyu couldn't help but sigh, "I have to say that I had always had a great prejudice against capital before this, but the appearance of Mr. Zhou refreshed my understanding of capital."
"I originally thought that capital was a dragon that fishes for nothing, but I didn't expect that there are people like Mr. Zhou..."
"Mr. Cai is so complimentary. I'm just an otaku who loves games. I wonder if Mr. Cai has paid attention to the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"..."
Zhou Dongsheng was unfazed by the favor and humiliation, but changed the subject to the recently popular "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
As a phenomenon-level online game with the potential to take the world by storm, even with the intervention of the butterfly Zhou Dongsheng, the formula was tampered with and the mother's fetus was even replaced.
However, under the personal control of Brendan Greene, the "Father of Battle Royale", while ensuring that the main body and gameplay of the game remain basically unchanged, it still follows the trajectory of history and repeats the same mistakes.
Especially with the blessing of "free Dafa", it is even possible to break through the upper limit.
After all, compared to the desperate move of having to send out "free Dafa" to hang on to one's life under the pressure of competitors when the sun is setting in the future.
This kind of move that immediately throws out the king bomb has undoubtedly greatly improved the player base of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
Just like no one can refuse a free meal, players will not refuse to try a popular free game.
In the increasingly weak PC game market, today's "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is like an outlier that has suddenly emerged, changing the perception of industry insiders.
Among them, Cai Haoyu, a game practitioner, is naturally included, even though Mihayo is a game company deeply involved in the mobile game market.
But this does not prevent Cai Haoyu from playing other games as a player, which is also called "Caifeng".
What's more, the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is produced by one of the only game companies invested by Zhou Dongsheng...
As a pure gamer, Cai Haoyu was impressed by the unique game mechanics of the battle royale game as soon as he started playing it, and he had a great time playing it.
Not only did he play by himself, but he also roped in two partners. The three of them formed a convoy and rode on the Jedi Island. It was a lot of fun...
Under this kind of addiction, even the development progress of "Honkai Impact 3" has been slightly affected...
Therefore, when Zhou Dongsheng mentioned "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", Cai Haoyu couldn't help but blush, and said seriously: "Such an outstanding game that is popular all over the world, I think every game practitioner will pay attention to it, trying to use this phenomenon-level
Learn something from the case..."
"Of course I am no exception. I play a lot and have been studying the unique game mechanics of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds..."
As Cai Haoyu talked, he seemed to have convinced himself, and his tone became more and more confident.
Can collecting folk music be called playing with things to lose one's ambition?
Zhou Dongsheng naturally didn't know Cai Haoyu's psychological activities, but he asked a question with great interest, "What do you think about turning the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" into a mobile game?"
Being able to create "Yuan Shen", a phenomenon-level mobile game that is popular all over the world, even makes giants like Tenda love and hate it, and sighs at the missed investment opportunity.
It can be seen that the slogan "Technical nerds save the world" seems to be a secondary slogan, but is it not a manifestation of Mihayo's technical ability?
Although "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" suddenly emerged in the weak PC game market and bucked the trend and created a phenomenal miracle, it cannot be said to have saved the PC game market.
At best, it can only be regarded as a return to the past. Obviously, no one can stop the trend of mobile games becoming the mainstream of the game market, not even game giants like Goosechangzhuchang.
In the face of the torrent of the times, any giant is just a mantis trying to block the tide. There are countless similar cases, just like the former mobile phone giant Nokia.
In order to adhere to the product concept that mobile phone keyboards will not be eliminated by the times, we chose a path that goes against the development of the times, and the glory of the past has gone with the wind.
Not to mention that Kodak, which once relied on a roll of film to become the world's largest manufacturer and supplier of imaging products and related services, collapsed in the face of the digital camera era.
Although the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has already shown its terrifying ability to attract money, in Zhou Dongsheng's view, this gold mine has only developed the tip of the iceberg.
The real money maker is none other than mobile games, and as Mihayo is a leader in the field of mobile games, Zhou Dongsheng naturally plays Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
Although there is already a pig factory with independent research and development capabilities that is not inferior to that of the goose factory as a guarantee, but mobile games are not something that can only be developed...
Especially in the face of the huge chicken-eating mobile game market, neither Tenda nor Zhuchang can eat this cake in one bite.
And if the chicken-fighting IP is licensed to Mihayo, will it be possible to create a unique chicken-fighting mobile game?
Thinking of this unique way of unfolding, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel excited, as if he had a strange pleasure in changing history!
