Chapter 122 As expected of half the river... Shanzhai (10,000)
On the morning of the first day after the festival, although the running water of "God of War" was still rising, and it looked like the daily running water exceeded one million today, those good and relaxing days in the past were obviously over.
The honeymoon period of tacit understanding with "Coming" can also be ended directly.
Most of the time in business, the principle of triangular stability is not used. It is often the first and the second that compete with each other, and the third is gone.
Originally, two manufacturers, Bolang and Letitong, operated the Three Kingdoms card mobile game. With the support of the existing mobile game market demand, the two companies maintained high exposure due to their mutual popularity.
The running water is very high.
The benefits are visible.
The days are beautiful.
But after all, Bolang and Lediton are two companies that are strangers to each other, and it is impossible to communicate with the outside world in unison.
If the benefits offered by the third-party Raptor are suitable enough, Letitong may not package and sell Wannian Lao Er's "Coming", and then transfer it to Bolang to repay Li Ze for deliberately disgusting them.
Mr. Huang's revenge.
Even if the benefits are not enough and no agreement has been reached, Lediton may not have other ideas.
During the so-called honeymoon period of tacit understanding, "Here Comes" has a lot of real little tricks, but it just can't compete with "God of War".
Therefore, in fact, there is no common basis of trust between the two parties.
The next most favorable situation for Bolang is the three-party melee.
If "Come" is acquired by an anonymous third party, "God of War" is likely to be relegated to second place, or even survive.
However, there is no need to rush.
Bolang didn't make a big bet on "God of War".
Not to mention being gentle and kind, now even some high-level players can see that the appeal of "God of War" is not long-lasting.
To put it bluntly, all kinds of thoughts quickly flashed through the minds of Wen Liang, Li Ze, and Tang Pu.
Li Ze took over the conversation: "Anyway, we have long expected that there will be competition in the mobile game market. Now this situation is normal. Next, we just need to stabilize the basics of our mobile game business."
Tang Pu then said: "We should also pay attention to this third party. They probably want to monopolize the Three Kingdoms card mobile game category."
Wen Liang supported the table with both hands and said relaxedly: "Not to mention those empty words, we must pay attention to not wasting our hard work. It doesn't matter whether we sell it or not."
Hearing this, Li Ze smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to us. We won't stop until we squeeze out every last drop of benefit from "God of War"."
"That's right." Tang Pu was convinced.
Making Orange Books and mobile games are all for money. This is a common understanding among everyone.
What ideals and visions do not require a lot of money to realize?
Not to mention the frivolous things, houses and cars don’t require money?
Even if he is Wen Liang, putting aside his fictitious net worth, he can't even get out tens of millions of cash now. To buy a small building in Yangcheng that is quieter and more comfortable, he still has to earn an extra 0.
There is no reason to sit back and watch some of the benefits that are about to be settled at this stage be taken away by others.
That's it!
…………
Related public opinion movements online are still common.
Discussions about "God of War" still mainly focus on the game content.
"There is a saying that "God of War" is indeed a mobile game that can dominate the charts. I can't imagine how the gameplay, which gets richer with every update, can be driven by my mobile phone."
"Indeed, the main thing is that there is new content every day. I used to like Diao Chan, but now I think it is better with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao."
"..."
"As a side note, I always feel that if there are more similar games, it will probably promote the popularity of smartphones faster."
"I totally agree with this, because I am a new Samsung."
"..."
Some netizens are still not immune to the vulgarity.
"The market is open. The market is open. Guess whether it's the God of War today or the one who comes first to get the benefits?"
"I choose "God of War"."
""coming"!"
"You are 'gathering people together to gamble' again, confiscate everything, handcuff them and take them away!"
"Good guy, how about settling the case?"
"..."
…
Obviously, the mobile game market is not as calm as netizens know.
In the afternoon, Leditong chose to proactively communicate with Bolang.
It’s still Mr. Huang.
It’s still Li Ze who is in charge.
After receiving the internal call transferred through the company phone, Li Ze had a smile on his face and said cheerfully: "Mr. Huang, hello, hello, I'm Bolang Li Ze."
"Hello, Mr. Li, I always forgot to thank Mr. Li for taking the initiative to advertise for us." Mr. Huang's laughter over there was equally hearty.
Li Ze is also very good at small talk now: "Mr. Huang, you are very polite. Our business is to serve every advertiser well."
"Yes Yes Yes."
"..."
It's just that compared to Mr. Huang opposite him, Li Ze's greeting skills are not nearly as good.
Li Ze had almost used up all his greeting words, but Mr. Huang over there was still laughing and talking nonsense.
Fortunately, Li Ze may not have much experience, but Wen Liang taught him a lot about his patience.
Anyway, I don’t take the initiative to stir up the topic.
Just deal with it, be perfunctory, and be polite.
It doesn't matter even if it's a wheel talk.
Just grind it hard.
Mr. Huang finally took the initiative to get to the point: "Mr. Li, speaking of which, we have been friends for a long time through game operations. We are still half-friends. I wonder if it would be inconvenient for me to ask Mr. Li about a small matter."
Obviously, Letitong is more anxious than Bolang.
Although he couldn't see the other party, Li Ze still waved his hand grandly: "But it doesn't matter."
Mr. Huang still beat around the bush for a while: "...the mobile game market has been very dynamic recently. I heard it has attracted a lot of attention. I wonder if Mr. Li has any news in this regard."
"Yes." Li Ze replied with a smile, which made Mr. Huang's heart arouse. Then he said in a gentle tone, "Recently, judging from player feedback, a large number of PC game players have come."
"I heard that there are also online live broadcasts focusing on mobile games."
Mr. Huang: "..."
Gan!
Thanks for waiting for him for so long!
As a result, Li Ze told him a lot of nonsense. Who doesn't know about this?
After such a pull, Mr. Huang became much more straightforward: "Mr. Li, I'm going to put it bluntly. Our two mobile games are very popular in the market, and they continue to dominate the charts on iOS. I heard that this has made some traditional PC games more popular."
Manufacturers are also interested in larger mobile games."
"What a good thing!" Li Ze said cheerfully, "The more popular the mobile game industry is, the richer the game types are, the greater the total number of players will be!"
Mr. Huang: "..."
No way!
I can’t pull this off, right?
After all, Wannian Lao Er is not that confident.
Mr. Huang took a deep breath in his heart and said frankly: "Mr. Li, we don't speak secretly. I believe that your company has also received acquisition intentions from unnamed companies. Our company wants to establish some aspects of cooperation with your company."
cooperate."
"In a word, we are unwilling to give up the good development situation now."
"But according to our analysis, the strength behind this company is quite high, and it must be connected with several major PC game companies."
"If our two families don't unite, it will be difficult for us to eat meat in the future."
Seeing Mr. Huang being so straightforward, Li Ze couldn't help but raise his thick eyebrows.
However, after discussing the development with Wen Liang before, Li Ze naturally had some concerns in mind, so he said directly without any hesitation: "Okay, Mr. Huang will tell you the specific plan."
"Mr. Li is really refreshing." Mr. Huang laughed, "It's very simple. We are all open to the outside world."
"Okay." Li Ze responded very quickly, "But I think we should add a supplement. Under special circumstances, everyone can clean up the snow on their own."
Mr. Huang nodded repeatedly: "Just do as Mr. Li said!"
"..."
The two companies thus reached a verbal agreement that was not solid at all.
Reach out to the outside world unanimously to seek greater benefits.
Of course it's just superficial.
Since it is for profit, if this third party must want to monopolize the market, it will naturally be able to easily complete the integration if it pays a price that is acceptable to Raditon or Bolang.
This kind of superficial effort can last for a while.
Now both Bolang and Raditon can sit back and wait to see which direction the third party will exert its efforts.
…
After the exchange with Le Ditong, Li Ze reported the situation to Wen Liang.
He added his own analysis: "Judging from Mr. Huang's tone, their ambition or greed is greater than ours, and they may also want to do something big."
After listening to Li Ze's report, Wen Liang smiled and said, "Not necessarily. I tend to let Letitong run away if they want to make a big profit from the game "Come"."
Li Ze was a little puzzled: "Then what kind of alliance is there? Isn't it easy for us to contain them?"
Wen Liang pondered the analysis: "They are just a small company, and they have made it clear that they do not want to accept the current quotation from a third party. If they do not join forces with us, the quotation they can get will be two points lower every day."
"You are right. The United Alliance is indeed easy to be restrained by us, but you also said that they are very greedy."
Listening to Wen Liang's words, Li Ze also clarified the relationship: "I understand more and more that the business behavior you mentioned only focuses on interests, and whoever cooperates with whomever is seeking mutual benefit."
"Fortunately, with Mr. Huang's call, we also understood the ambitions of the third party. It is estimated that they want to replicate the glory of the PC game Three Kingdoms in the field of mobile games."
After saying this, Li Ze had a smile on his face: "The situation is basically clear, so let's wait and see. Who is afraid of whom?"
Wen Liang nodded happily: "This is the right attitude. Anyway, any form of competition at this stage will do more good than harm to the company."
Upon hearing this, Li Ze immediately grimaced: "I still miss the days since the end of the year, how relaxed and happy they were."
Wen Liang smiled and casually threw out four words: "Not much gain."
Li Ze quickly ran away after hearing this.
…………
Just as Wen Liang guessed.
This anonymous third party wanted to acquire the company when it came up. Even if it took a step back, it still wanted to be an agent. It was obviously anxious to end the situation.
So, at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Sure enough, a game called "War of the Three Kingdoms" suddenly landed on the iOS AppStore!
Nowadays, mobile games are first released on iOS, mainly because it is easier to make money.
Li Ze immediately paid attention to the developer.
I thought I would wear a vest and remain anonymous like I did in the morning.
Unexpectedly, "War of the Three Kingdoms" generously displayed the mobile game studio of the developer Information Goose Factory!
Li Ze also quickly found the specific context through the collection of information from all aspects.
"War of the Three Kingdoms" was developed by a small company and was just packaged and acquired by Goose Factory Mobile Game Studio today, but the merger has been completed in a short period of time.
After learning the news, Wen Liang's first reaction was to see a ghost.
This horse riding is not something that Goose Factory can do.
Goose Factory has always been mainly copycats. For games developed by domestic manufacturers, can we first negotiate for an agent or an acquisition?
After thinking about it carefully, Wen Liang probably figured out Goose Chang's idea.
The 3Q that caused a sensation on the Internet more than a year ago has not come to an end yet.
According to some later analysis, Goose Factory changed its style from this competition and embarked on the path of investment cooperation, and its tentacles gradually spread throughout the Internet industry.
It's just that... After playing "War of the Three Kingdoms" for the first time, Wen Liang could only say: "He is still the same young man as before, and has not changed at all. He is truly a copycat in the gaming industry."
This "War of the Three Kingdoms" was obviously hastily developed after the emergence of "God of War" and "Come".
The overall style is about 45% of "God of War" + 35% of "Coming" and 20% of my own elements, which are mainly concentrated on art resources.
But these are not important. The most significant thing right now is that we have QQ and WeChat, which has over 100 million users last month, and account for half of the domestic gaming industry. The promotion of Goose Factory is just four words:
Overwhelming -
