Chapter 761 [Not only dare to think, but also dare to fight]
July 18, Ningzhou City.
In a rental house in the second ring road area of the city, five young people gathered in the living room. Some of them had just graduated a year or two ago, the youngest was only 25 years old, and the eldest was just over 30 years old.
"Brothers, everyone is here today. It seems that they have all made their decision." said the eldest young man. At first glance, he is the one with leadership among the few people, while the others are relatively shy. .
His name is Wang Cheng, his ancestral home is in southern Fujian, and he transferred his household registration to Ningzhou at the beginning of last year.
"We have all fired our boss. Starting next year, we will each receive money directly. I have to say that we all have to thank Brother No. 1." Wang Cheng looked at everyone: "If we don't fight at this time, really, there is nothing to say. You can’t receive this money for a lifetime. The youngest Huzi will receive it for ten years, which adds up to 1.05 million. The oldest I can receive is 610,000 for five years.”
"This is a lot of money, but inflation in five or ten years will shrink more than half of our purchasing power, which is still not enough for us to live a lifetime. We don't have the strength of Brother Yi to speculate in stocks. Brother Yi has given us young people three opportunities. , it can’t fail to work. I’m glad that brothers can come out and give me a try. This business venture is not a whim, but a great opportunity. Maybe we can become the next Mihayou.”
Wang Cheng described it very excitedly. Obviously, their team wanted to develop games.
"Brother Cheng, how do you get the first pot of gold?"
After hearing this, Wang Cheng smiled and said: "We will start with web games first, and the market will be aimed at foreign countries, targeting wealthy users in the Middle East."
Several buddies were suddenly surprised. Forget about making web games and aim at overseas markets?
Wang Cheng said methodically: "I have a friend in my hometown who does business in the Middle East. I chatted with him on the phone for a long time yesterday. You may not know that some domestic web game companies have been operating in Arabia for a long time, and they all It’s leftover from domestic entertainment.”
Wang Cheng, who was getting better and better, said vividly: "I am Saladin, call your brother, and we will rebuild the Arabian Empire. The routine of web games, skin-changing gameplay, if you are a brother, come and kill me, the big guys are having a great time. Ever since, I recharged 999 US dollars to get a Damascus sword and cut the heads of the Crusaders. The localization is very good. With the skills of our brothers, we can easily reproduce a Turkish version or a similar version. It will be available soon. Get it online,"
"Browser games that were disliked by domestic players have become popular in the Middle East and have become the favorites of local tycoons. This is a fact. No one pays attention to it, but some web game companies that go overseas have been keeping a low profile for a long time and respect the local culture. , the local tycoons are very happy to pay.”
Having said this, Wang Cheng turned on the computer, and several buddies immediately gathered around him. Wang Cheng said, "You guys can take a look for yourselves, or browse through it on your mobile phone."
Everyone immediately took out their mobile phones to surf the Internet scientifically, and then took a look at the best-selling mobile games list in the Middle East.
Good guy, if you don’t know it, you will be shocked when you see it. Half of the top 20 on the list are games from Greater China.
And after a little understanding, I found that some of these games have been quietly making money among the wealthy people in the Middle East for a long time.
Just trying to make a fortune in silence...
The reason for getting rich in silence is because the money is so profitable, so try not to shout loudly, and try to do it as late as possible if you can get attention, otherwise everyone will flock in and the volume will fly again.
Wang Cheng then said eloquently: "It's not too early for us to do it now, but we will definitely still make money. It will be no problem to win our first pot of gold. Look at these games "The Sultan's Revenge" and "Clash of Kings"
And "Doomsday", the top three games."
"Let's just talk about "The Revenge of the Sudan". It's a huge hit in the Middle East. The content of the game is that you have to rebuild the Sudan of the Ottoman Empire, and then recruit beautiful women along the way, while conquering the continent."
Wang Cheng looked at his buddies and smiled: "This game sounds like petroleum, but it is actually a completely domestic game. The developer Longteng Jianhe happens to be from my ancestral home in southern Fujian. They specialize in the Middle East game market.
, relying on the wallet of a wealthy person is like a prosperous life, and the monthly turnover can easily reach five to six million US dollars."
"Since this game was launched in 2015, it has been in the top five downloads in the Middle East for four years. It was even more prosperous in the first few years after it was launched, firmly ranking first on the list."
All the buddies were happy.
Good guy, isn’t this just an early web game with a Middle Eastern skin? The plot has changed from dominating the world to conquering the continent...
Wang Cheng said with a smile: "The local tycoons are rich enough. The Middle East has a population of more than 500 million and a bunch of countries in the top 30 in global GDP. The average annual income of the highest country can reach 100,000 US dollars. Everyone is extremely rich.
The key is that they are particularly willing to spend money.”
"Take the big game player as an example. According to what my friend from my hometown called and talked to yesterday, he said that domestic players spend 32 US dollars on games every month, and the big game player can reach 270 US dollars. So
There is a huge group of game players, but before domestic game manufacturers came in to open up wasteland, the game market here was as barren as the food in Hangzhou..."
Hangzhou people are furious!
Wang Cheng still smiled and said: "Because the language is relatively different from the world game market, less than 1% of the content on the Internet is translated into Arabic, and there are almost no local game developers and publishers. When we called brothers to kill people in "Legend",
They can only keep big cats like lions and leopards as pets for fun."
This is a rant...
Several friends felt dumbfounded when they heard this. In the stereotype of Chinese people, this seems to be the case. Rich people in the Middle East like to keep big cats as pets.
Wang Cheng still spoke eloquently: "Summarizing the experience of previous pioneers, I think the most outstanding thing is the extreme localization, because the Middle East is a very special place. To make their money, their culture
The threshold is very high, and the game settings can easily hit their trap."
"There are very few games translated into Arabic, and those that can satisfy their cultural habits are even more rare when it snows heavily in summer. Domestic games are popular here because the manufacturers tailor-made them from head to toe for the tycoons in the Middle East.
An exclusive game was developed.”
"So this is something we must pay attention to next. In order to comply with the reading habits of the local language, all text and visual design need to be arranged from right to left, or women must be masked when appearing on the stage, and crosses cannot appear.
Pigs, wine and other items.”
"Look at the localization of this game, and look at what the proverb says: 'I would rather be hungry than to be degraded and starved to death. I will fight for my honor... You are a brother, so come and help me rebuild.
Arabian Empire!', the taste seems familiar, but it is not the same taste, right? It is precisely because of such extreme localization and service spirit that our predecessors can achieve these great achievements."
Several buddies were also eager to give it a try, and there happened to be one person in their team who understood the culture and language of the Arab region.
Wang Cheng added: "However, this method of simply changing skins is definitely becoming more and more unworkable. At that time, domestic web games were killed by changing skins with each other. In the early years, they relied on a
The way to conquer the world by attracting new talents cannot last a lifetime, but this does not prevent us from seizing the time to catch the last bus and make a fortune. In short, we should seize the time to catch the first pot of gold. Besides, there may be no chance next year, so hurry up and get involved.
!”
This young team quickly determined their direction, targeting the wealthy market in the Middle East, starting with web games, and seizing the time to get on the bus and give it a go.
The reason why an entrepreneurial team composed of several young people like Wang Cheng and others can appear in Ningzhou City is because of this pilot program to distribute money to young people. They are released from the aspect of making a living, and with a guarantee, they dare to think
Yes, I dare to do it and give it a try.
Maybe we can create the next Mihayou!
After receiving money, some people will choose to eat, drink, have fun, and live in the moment to enjoy themselves. There will definitely be many such people, but there will also be people who will use this opportunity to develop themselves. Teams of young people such as Wang Cheng are gradually emerging.
, or start to have ideas, or start to enter the planning stage.
It is foreseeable that similar teams will appear in all walks of life. They do not have to worry about making a living and the immediate situation, and free up their energy to fight for their ideals.
If an emerging large enterprise is formed, or even reaches the first level of the industry, it may bring about an industrial ecology with high value-added profits.
Today's giants such as Alibaba, Huawei, and Penguin were small workshops a few decades ago. No one knew that they could grow to the level of giants they are today, including Tiansheng Capital. No one could have imagined that they would become such giants three years ago.
