Chapter 135 Fighting until his grandfather is here
"Crazy! Bolang is crazy!"
The young man in charge of Tianmei Yiyu Studio was gnashing his teeth and scolding Bo Lang.
"The boss of Bolang is absolutely crazy!"
It was obviously the weekend and the battle in the mobile game industry had been settled, but now he had to rush back to the company.
Not only that, all members of Tianmeiyiyou rushed back.
Even though not many netizens pay attention to the mobile game industry now, there is no way around it. The Bolang incident first started with their mobile game studio!
"Those who step on horses...fuck!"
After venting for five minutes, the young man sighed quietly and muttered, "The only lesson humans have learned from history is that humans can't learn any lessons. Our studio is not as big as Weibo. Why?"
I lost my head."
"I can just act like I am now, acting serious, acting angry, and acting everything that needs to be done."
After a long time, the young man put on a solemn look and walked into the conference room of Tianmei Art Tour step by step.
Others are already waiting.
‘Oh, I have to show off.’ The young man glanced at a few people expressionlessly and said, “What’s the latest situation? Be more specific and detailed.”
He intentionally did not sit down and gave everyone in the conference room a sense of oppression with his overlooking posture.
Various voices soon sounded in the conference room, which had a disharmonious atmosphere.
""Chasing Me", which originally fell off the best-selling list on iOS, is back on the list and returned to the first place 5 minutes ago."
"According to incomplete statistics, "Chasing Me" has ranked first in downloads of games on Android this month."
“The downloads of the Android version of Bolang’s latest casual mobile game lobby are growing rapidly, and the downloads of the iOS version are also very high.”
"This mobile game lobby is very lightweight, only 9M, and adopts a P2P-like method. Every game is loaded and playable. It is a fatal blow to our casual mobile games."
"Bolang's other mobile games have bottomed out and rebounded."
The person who spoke last was not very good at speaking, so he used a word that was inappropriate for the current situation: 'bottoming out'.
The young man just glanced at the man and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, "Even we internally think it's bottoming out, so how can we argue?"
He didn't bother to issue instructions.
He is now unsure about his future.
'Mr. Yao...'
Then, the young man said in a deep voice: "What about other aspects?!"
Someone hesitated and answered: "It's hard to describe."
The young man snorted coldly and stared at this person: "When things have developed to this point, why are you still playing riddles and saying anything?"
The man had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer: "According to... incomplete statistics, 100,000 copies of the new version of the Xiaocheng Book App are open for internal testing, and the actual number of downloads of the Android distribution link has exceeded 7 million..."
"Third-party statistics show that the Xiaocheng Book App has more than 40 million daily users today, and nearly 30 million people are online at the same time."
“Except for the total number of users, all other data surpassed WeChat.”
Hearing this, the young man deliberately cursed: "Thuraomu!"
He is actually very familiar with the latest situation.
He knew that Bolang had turned the tables in just one afternoon.
Not only has it regained share in the mobile game industry, it has also taken root in communication software, directly competing with the parent company's WeChat, and presenting a weak experience advantage.
It is even clearer that the focus of the whole network is now almost focused on Xiaochengshu’s special closed beta version of the App.
As a small mobile game studio under Goose Factory, he can't do anything, and even in his opinion, the higher-ups can't do anything.
At most, I can just pretend to go through the process like I am now.
The young man doesn't know what to think now.
When he attended the game division meeting two days ago, Mr. Yao bore the ridicule of his colleagues for him, took over all responsibilities, and took the lead in subsequent affairs.
Today, two days later, the situation is looking great. Bolang completely overturns the table and directly targets the WeChat business that the parent company has attached most importance to since last year.
'Now I'm afraid the top management has been alerted.' The young man sighed dejectedly in his heart and said: "I'll go report to the top, you guys... continue to work, and you have to pretend to be nervous for me.
Look!"
"clear!"
…
The young man quickly went to the game division.
I met Mr. Yao first.
Mr. Yao looked at the young man and saw that he was hesitant to speak, and finally said: "Don't worry, maybe this is a new opportunity."
"Understood!" The young man nodded subconsciously,
At first I was a little confused, but then I realized that I was saved again.
It is even possible that there will be internal changes due to Bolang's overly radical development situation.
Not long after, the young man and Mr. Yao walked into the conference room of the Game Division.
The president of the game division, a middle-aged man who was going to Yangcheng tomorrow, walked in.
Seeing that the big boss of the business department did not sit down just like him not long ago, the young man suddenly wanted to laugh.
The difference is that the middle-aged man did not give everyone a chance to speak: "The superiors have temporarily withdrawn the decision to discuss with Bolang."
This is the first sentence.
"We need to make achievements in the mobile game business as soon as possible. Don't just follow others' footsteps. You can't even be smart about picking people up."
This is the second sentence.
The young man's brow suddenly jumped, and he completely understood what Mr. Yao meant.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man went on to say: "From now on, there will be a horse racing mechanism inside the mobile game studio. All the heads of the mobile game studio are here. I only have one idea. Whoever leads the studio will achieve results, and whoever leads it will be the winner.
Lord.”
Afterwards, the middle-aged man glanced at everyone present and fixed his gaze on Mr. Yao: "Do your job well and don't just engage in heresy. Only when your business products are excellent can you have the confidence to compete with others!"
"As for Bolang, we no longer need our attention!"
After speaking, the middle-aged man turned around and left the conference room without giving everyone time to express his position.
The conference room was quiet for a while.
Then there was the sound of tables being pushed over and chairs being turned over.
Everyone left without saying a word.
The young man in charge of Tianmei Art Tour looked at Mr. Yao without revealing anything.
Seeing Mr. Yao walking out of the conference room with his head half lowered and without saying a word, the young man clenched his fists.
'This is my last chance.'
‘With the capabilities of our studio, as long as we don’t make mistakes, we will eventually be merged.’
As he thought about it, the young man thought: 'Different...different paths lead to the same destination?'
'Although we failed to demonstrate our capabilities in the competition, Bolang's strong posture still forced the superiors to make a decision. This...'
‘Success is also a wave, failure is also a wave?’
The young man walking alone to the office area of Tianmei Yiyou Studio looked strange and helpless at times.
…………
As night falls, an important conference room in Goose Factory is brightly lit.
The name "Bolang" was put on the top meeting of the goose factory.
Fortunately, it's not the most serious.
Mapelli neither chaired the meeting nor participated in any way.
In the elegantly laid out multimedia conference room, a core executive in the center raised his head, swept across the conference room, and said, "Has Mr. Zhang's phone been connected?"
A voice came from the multimedia conference call: "Here we come."
The executive said bluntly: “Let’s talk about the new version of Bolang’s Xiaocheng Book App.”
The voice quickly spoke in an orderly manner: "The product looks too bloated, and the current instant messaging module entrance is a bit confusing. It is not the core business. Their focus should still be the original UGC business."
"But despite this, their instant messaging module has very complete functions and is very stable. It is much better than the current MiLiao and is much better than our WeChat in some functions, such as voice intercom, voice chat, etc."
The chat is well optimized and the underlying logic framework should be very competitive."
“Their circle of friends function is highly compatible with our upcoming ‘circle of friends’ function, no, it should be said to be better than the ‘circle of friends’ function that we have completed testing.”
"In terms of design, it is similar to Facebook abroad, but in some aspects it is more suitable for the domestic market than Facebook."
"Some functions have also been advanced. For example, Facebook acquired Instagram a few days ago to improve the photo sharing module, and Xiaocheng Book has been based on photo sharing from the beginning."
“In short, with the current development trend, it will become WeChat’s strongest competitor.”
The executive who presided over the meeting in this room made a gesture after hearing this: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
Afterwards, the executive looked at everyone: "Mr. Zhang has already explained the advantages of the product logic clearly. I don't think there is any need to say more about the business logic."
"The profit model was perfected when Xiaocheng Book had only one million users, but now we still have to find a profit direction on WeChat."
After a few simple words, the executive added: "Now it seems that Bolang's business development model is highly adaptable and even superior in the Internet field. With normal development, Bolang may become a company including ours."
It’s a nightmare for many of my colleagues in China.”
After expressing his opinion, the executive looked at one of them and asked, "What do you think?"
The man quickly replied: "I think Bolang's strong attitude is to show that he does not accept shares. From this point of view, I prefer that the core character of Bolang is the gentle one on the surface."
"Now it is difficult for us to acquire any shares of Bolang using ordinary methods."
"Pressure from Sina Weibo at the beginning of the year made Bolang choose to donate 1% of its shares to South China University of Technology for free. Later, SCUT expressed its support. Considering that almost all the founding shareholders were born in SCUT and are still studying at SCUT, it was very troublesome."
At this time, someone interjected: "This is not a PC Internet competition. As long as Bolang does not plan to go public, in fact, no one can do anything about it; we have used conventional, unconventional, rules, and unspoken rules one by one. It is nothing more than all
Jump on it."
The executives looked around and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so sure. After looking at Bolang's development process, they still understand the business rules quite well."
"Bolang's revenue scale cannot support their radical development, and in the end external funds are indispensable."
"We can relax in some aspects. Sometimes, children tend to think that we are a scourge. It's business. In fact, win-win cooperation is the theme."
"..."
There was gradually some hearty laughter in the conference room.
…………
Indeed, with the current size of Goose Factory, in the domestic environment, it is hard to overestimate Bolang.
They have a hundred ways to achieve their business goals.
If outright competition doesn't work, then use a softer approach.
As long as Bolang wants to raise funds, Goose Factory can always find ways to intervene.
After all, not every company can be like Bolang and can improve its business model in the early stages of development.
You know, 99.99% of domestic Internet companies are highly dependent on external funds in their development process.
I don’t know who taught it in the West. The domestic Internet industry first considers the logic of products, users, and promotion, and then finally considers the business model.
There is also a concept that capital does not like companies that have already made money, so many Internet companies try their best to cater to them.
As a result, there is a pattern of high reliance on external capital.
The final result is: more than 90% of the interests belong to capital, and about 10% belongs to the company, of which 99% belongs to the core members of the founding team, and the last bit is distributed to workers.
However, Bolang is an exception.
When he started his own business in his previous life, Wen Liang scorned this mass development model of the Internet industry.
This is why Li Ze and others were eager to find ways to make profits after the initial success of Xiao Cheng Shu.
And because 99.99% of Internet companies follow this development model, Sina, Goose Factory, etc. who have come through this way think that Bolang will do the same.
Therefore, both Weibo and Tianmei Yiyou want Bolang to be frustrated in the market, so that Bolang has to consider external olive branches, so that they can share the fruits of Bolang's development at the lowest cost.
However, Bolang's performance in business competition and its ability to withstand risks far exceed everyone's imagination.
In a sense, Weibo’s reputation is worse than their capital.
Venture capital and private equity investors who intend to invest in Bolang can only find ways to spend money to invest in Bolang, to provide Bolang with the icing on the cake or provide help in times of need.
…
Anyway, now Tianmei Yiyou was completely defeated by Bo Lang, calling his father to die, but his father failed to get a good deal and was stabbed through, so his grandfather had to die in full.
Therefore, business is like this, and it is common for the big to bully the small.
If you can't compete, you can either quit the stage directly, or keep some shares and become a higher-level wage earner.
Who knows... -
