Rebirth just wants to make money

Chapter 373 17game's next move

There is no problem with He Lianxi's questioning of Su Che. Since Su Che understood from the very beginning that the essence of e-sports is games, why not develop games first and hold designated game competitions, instead hold competitions first and grasp the so-called initiative of competitions Woolen cloth?

Su Che actually has no way to explain this problem to He Lianxi, because it is a problem of the times.

Indeed, with the rise of events held independently by various games, the comprehensive event of WCG gradually fell into decline, but this also requires a process.Whether it's Crossfire or League of Legends, these games have all played WCG at the beginning. They have also hugged WCG's thigh and been WCG's pendant.

Moreover, from 08 to 11, there are still three full years in between.In the past three years, DOTA has always been the king of competitive games, including when Crossfire was the most popular, it was no match for DOTA in terms of competition.When it comes to fair competition, DOTA is more recognized by players.

As for Crossfire, this game is more inclined to absorb abilities, especially when Huo Qilin first came out, a gun costing a few hundred dollars became the favorite of elementary school students, and it was once on the news of the National Central Television.

The focus of the two is actually different, especially Crossfire itself is an online game, while DOTA is a real stand-alone game.So in terms of fairness, DOTA is much higher than CrossFire.Coupled with the combination of different heroes in DOTA and the varied tactics, he once became the king of competitive games.

As for the tactics of crossing the line of fire, it has not changed much because of the core mechanism of the game.What was the style of play in [-], and what will be the style of play in [-].There may be some changes, but these changes are based on the player's understanding and development of the game itself, which is very limited.

Change is also an important indicator to measure whether a game can go far, which is why the later League of Legends frequently released new heroes

The topic will be present.

According to the successful case of Tencent League of Legends in the last generation, now 17game can fully focus on game development, develop a game that can adapt to e-sports, and then carry out publicity and hype to hype the game and the game together .

How Tencent did it in the previous life, now 17game can do exactly what it did.

Theoretically it is.

But one of the important conditions is Tencent's user base.

Later, League of Legends became popular all over the world. It is reasonable to say that the fist company that developed this game has been very successful, but in the end it was acquired by Tencent.

why?

It is because Huaxia has more players than all players in other regions of the world combined, and Huaxia's agent is Tencent.

Although Tencent is unlikely to have trouble with money, it must make it to the death with the fist.But if there is such a day, once the agent of the League of Legends game changes from Tencent to another company, it will have an unparalleled impact on the overall player base of this game.

Why is Tencent an empire?Just because he has a huge user base that is difficult for other companies to match.Even Alipay, which was later high-profile and ineffective, could not compete with WeChat in terms of user base.

And the current 17game does not have Tencent's super power, so if he really develops a game and successfully opens up the e-sports situation.Then there are only two endings, either being copied by Tencent or being acquired by Tencent.

Judging from the trajectory of Tencent's development later, the result with a high probability should be an acquisition.

But no matter what, this means that the fruits of 17game's labor will be handed over to others.So now it's better to use DOTA directly to engage in competitions, anyway, this thing is based on the Frozen Throne.The Frozen Throne is a stand-alone game developed by Blizzard. It is different from Tencent's online game development route, and basically there will be no intersection between the two.

What's more, the current environment of China's stand-alone game market is also thanks to the fact that Blizzard is a game company in the United States, and its home game is not in China. Otherwise, it can be played with just a pirated version.

In such a stand-alone game market environment, Tencent, which aims to make money, will definitely not get involved in the Frozen Throne.

And the facts also proved that the later Tencent did not attack the Frozen Throne, and even World of Warcraft did not have any intersection.Maybe there are some unknown conflicts between Tencent and Blizzard, which Su Che doesn't know much about.

In short, in China's game market, if there is still a piece of pure land that can be invaded by Tencent, then only stand-alone games are left.

This is also one of the most important reasons why Su Che chose DOTA.

Brand effect, this killer tool that is invincible in any field, is equally effective in the game market.

Just like later people mentioned that NetEase is the game of conscience, the most expensive game, Tencent is the game for elementary school students, and charging money is the game for dad, and Shanda is mentioned, sorry, Shanda is no longer there.

In short, a company establishes a brand image for itself, and after it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, people will subconsciously think of them at certain moments.

What Su Che has to do now is when people hear the game, they will subconsciously ring 17game, just like people always think of WCG now.

In fact, there are still some international game events, but most people only know WCG.

This is a manifestation of brand effect.

Once people get used to the competition being held by 17game and this brand effect takes shape, it will be much easier for 17game to gain a firm foothold in organizing competitions in the future.

If it was not a last resort, Su Che would not want to think about these things desperately now.

No way, Tencent is too difficult.Even Shanda, the leader in the industry, listened to his suggestion and developed web games.But Tencent's brother Ma didn't ask Su Che anything, just chatted casually, and then he did what he originally planned to do, without being affected by Su Che at all.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Xiao Ma was able to succeed. After all, if he is a person who is easily swayed, he would have been overwhelmed by the saliva sprayed on him on the Internet.

Su Che admires such a little brother, but at the same time, it also brings Su Che a lot of trouble.

If Tencent is honestly copying web games now, wouldn't it be so troublesome.

After accepting Su Che's brainwashing, He Lianxi, who is the ideal, started her new round of characters.If she lives in 2019, after mastering the popular vocabulary at the end of that year, she will definitely call herself a tool person.

That's right, she is like a tool person, she will do whatever Su Che asks her to do.

Of course, the premise is that she also thinks that Su Che's point of view is correct, and that Su Che really convinced her that she would break her leg just because of Su Che's idea.

With the passage of time, the schedule of the first national e-sports competition has finally come to an end. Taking the DOTA project as an example, it ended with the QC team winning the King's Medal, and the King's Medal of several other projects also belonged to each other.

Fortunately, Tsinghua University has two teams for each project, and they successfully won a King's Medal in the Chenghai 3C project.At the same time, Peking University, which has a team, also successfully won a King's Medal in the Warcraft Home Building Project.And the last remaining counter-strikes, like DOTA, were taken away by teams from the society

Here I want to mention that in the finals of the DOTA project, in the first team of Tsinghua where QC played against, there was a player named Yu Jingxi, who was the future No. [-] card master of the League of Legends, Ruofeng.

It's not surprising that Ruofeng is still playing DOTA at this moment, because he was originally from DOTA.In the later games, he also staged a big move to beat the minions, and people have been making fun of it. Maybe this is the reason why he switched to League of Legends?Because the game mechanism of League of Legends is that many heroes' ultimate moves are not allowed to be thrown to minions.

Probably he also started playing League of Legends in order to get out of the shadow of the soldiers.

Of course, that doesn't mean he's not good enough.Although in terms of operation, he might as well smile, but in terms of game strategy development, Ruofeng of the S1S2 season is a well-deserved boss.

A card master landed a golden body, which directly caused a sensation in the entire alliance. Even the English name of this tactic was named after his English ID, Misaya.

This operation is actually very simple, just play the card master to create a Central Asian hourglass, press the active skill of the Central Asian hourglass when the zoom-in move lands, make yourself invincible, and just cheat the opponent's skills.

Even in the later League of Legends games, this became the basic operation of players, not to mention professional players, even bronze and silver players can understand it.

But this does not erase Ruofeng's contribution to this game.

Just like the factory that produces light bulbs now, it can produce tens of thousands of light bulbs a day, and the cost may be a few cents, or even a few cents. You can buy bad street things casually.

But even so, can the credit of the person who invented the light bulb be erased?

The answer is naturally no.

No matter how well people play later, people will always remember the person who invented and created, his name is misaya, and his name is Ruofeng.

Of course, the current Ruofeng is just a rookie in the DOTA session, the real kind.Because the game can invite foreign aid, so the Tsinghua team did not know where to invite Ruofeng, and Ruofeng failed to carry.

In fact, normally speaking, with the level of Ruofeng DOTA professional player, no matter how bad he is, he will not be abused by amateur players, but it is a pity that he met a smile.

Smile, this person has been carrying Ruofeng in the League of Legends arena.If the WE team didn't have a smile, then the fighting power would drop by at least half.

The carry god in the team ran to the opposite side, and it was normal for Ruofeng to lose.

But it doesn't matter, he got the grandmaster medal anyway

In short, with the end of the first national e-sports competition, a new round of plans for 17game has started again.It seems that in order to satisfy the players and spectators, this time 17game has put the event on a global scale.

But before that, the first thing 17game has to do is to go to the United States first, find Blizzard, and buy the exclusive agency rights for the Warcraft series.

Once this project is negotiated, it means that only 17game will be able to hold corresponding events in the future.For others, not even WCG.

Of course, Su Che would not let 17game pay for this kind of thing that costs money, and would always pull a few backs.For example, Shanda, who just made a lot of money, brought this partner over to invest in the game together, and the pressure on 17game would be greatly relieved.

Su Che reckoned that even if Shan Shan didn't need to bleed heavily, he should at least spit out all the profits from web games during this period

Ahem, if Shanda finds out about her idea, Mr. Chen will definitely vomit blood in anger.You know, during this period of time, Shanda's income from web games was in the hundreds of millions.

It is impossible to invest so much money in an e-sports competition, even if it is a worldwide competition.

Even in later generations, the investment in the largest League of Legends world event is only in the tens of millions, and at the most it just exceeded [-] million.

So Su Che's thought is just a thought.

Shanda is not a fool, and he will not fool around.

"I just got off the plane, where is the person you said to receive me now?" He Lianxi called Su Che as soon as he got off the plane and asked.

It’s daylight in the United States now, but Su Che’s words

"Eldest sister, don't you want to see what time it is?" Su Che couldn't open his eyes, so he could only close them, and said to the phone with a sleepy face.

He Lianxi on the other side of the phone said angrily: "It's daytime here, if you don't help me arrange it, can I just wander around after getting off the plane? I don't dare to walk around here because of the security."

"Wait a minute, I'll call and ask."

With that said, Su Che hung up the phone and dialed another number.After a while, the other person answered and asked very excitedly: "Mr. Su, it is a great honor to receive your commission to help you receive a guest. Unfortunately, I did not see her at the airport."

"Just wait at the door, I'll let him find you Oh, by the way, what color are you wearing?" Su Che asked.

"White coat, black trousers and boots, and a white hat," said Anne on the other end of the phone.

This Annie is the stockbroker who helped Su Che buy Baidu stock before.It was also because of Su Che's astonishing predictions and manipulations that Miss Anne deeply admired this stock expert whom she had never met before.

She once wanted to learn some stock knowledge from Su Che and become a more qualified stockbroker.But it is a pity that Mr. Su has been rejecting her all the time, and even after that Baidu stock, he never bought other stocks.This once made Annie feel very sorry.

Fortunately, Mr. Su asked her this time, so he promised her that as long as he helped to pick up a Chinese lady named He Lianxi, he would entrust 50 US dollars with Annie for a period of three years.

Chapter 374 The Coming Era

After getting off the plane, He Lianxi, who was received by Annie, didn't even take a break. He directly followed the original plan and agreed to be responsible for Blizzard's Warcraft game.

But when He Lianxi expressed his intentions, the responsible Jason said very dissatisfied: "Impossible, I will not cooperate with Huaxia people. You Huaxia people have no sense of copyright at all. It’s all pirated! How can I exclusively authorize the copyright of the competition to you? Don’t dream about my beautiful Miss He, unless you can solve the problem of piracy in China.”

He Lianxi was a little surprised. Before coming, Su Che told her that the process might not be smooth, and Su Che's judgment was very accurate. The other party was indeed very concerned about China's piracy issue.It's just that she didn't expect the other party to speak so bluntly... But it's true, euphemism is only a habit of Asians, and Europe and the United States are relatively straightforward, especially in the United States, which has only been around for more than 200 years.

The habit of people here is, I have to express what I like bravely, and I have to say it out loud if I don’t like you.I will point out where you need to correct, and I will generously praise what you do well.

Two countries, two ways of doing things, you can't say which one is better, it's just that you have to do as the Romans do when you go to a different place.

Since the other party said it so straightforwardly, He Lianxi didn't bother to beat around the bush. To be honest, he actually liked this straightforward way of talking.

Faced with the other party's doubts, she said: "Warcraft III Frozen Throne, this game is extremely popular in China now, basically everyone knows that no matter how you play, as long as you go to the Internet cafe with friends I can play a few rounds. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a game for the whole people. Basically, there are no people who play games in Internet cafes who know how to play.”

"Yeah, so what? It's all pirated. Do you know how much money we lost in China because of this?" Jason asked angrily.

He Lianxi smiled and said, "I think Mr. Jason, you may have some misunderstandings about the loss."

"Where is the misunderstanding?" Jason asked.

"First of all, if there is no piracy, the Frozen Throne will not be as popular in China as it is now. No matter how good the game is, as long as there is no piracy, it will be impossible to become popular in China. Since it cannot be popular, it cannot be sold. In this way, where does the loss come from?" He Lianxi said confidently: "The official China's pirated market gave the Frozen Throne the soil to grow and made it popular today. Believe it or not, once the All the pirated versions in China have been cleared, leaving only the genuine version that needs money to be purchased, and the players will give up this game right away?"

"But, isn't this wrong?" Jason was confused by He Lianxi's righteousness.

Obviously piracy is a mistake, how come it becomes a matter of course to go to Ms. He?

it's wired………

He Lianxi kept his expression on the surface, remained silent for a while, and then continued: "Then if there is no pirated version in Huaxia, and everyone does not play the genuine version, few people in China know about the Frozen Throne game, so I would like to ask Mr. Jason, what do you think? Can your company make money in China? Don't say right or wrong, China's market environment is like this. People generally have low consumption levels.

Formally because many families cannot afford computers or broadband, the industry of Internet cafes has soil to grow.In such a big environment, how can people spend tens or even hundreds of dollars to buy a stand-alone game? "

"This..." Jason hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly: "You are right, Ms. He, we really can't make money in the Huaxia market. So our problem has returned to the original one. If so, Why should I still work with you?"

He Lianxi said: "Because you are not reconciled, Mr. Jason. With the current popularity of the Frozen Throne in China, if you switch to other countries that focus on copyright, you have already made a lot of money. But because this is in China, piracy is rampant, You can't make money. So you are not reconciled.

Even I am not reconciled to you. You can obviously make money, but in the end you don't have a penny. "

"Miss He, you are so right. I think you must have a way for us to make money." Jason's glasses began to brighten.

"Of course." He Lianxi said confidently: "Copyrights are not valuable in China, but popularity is. So we must make good use of the popularity of the Frozen Throne game.

This time I came to you not to buy out the copyright of the game, but to ask for an exclusive authorization.After we get this authorization, we need your company to cooperate with us in organizing the most authoritative official competition.

As for the competition fee, our company will send people to attract sponsors.Part of the sponsorship fee from sponsors is used to run the competition, and the rest is our income. "

"Can the competition attract more sponsors?" Jason asked.

He Lianxi smiled and asked back: "This Mr. Jason should know better than me. I think you should have made a lot of money from Samsung."

Jason froze for a moment, then laughed and said, "Oh my god, I forgot about this. You are right, it seems that we still have room for cooperation."

…………

…………

At the same time, Huaxia, the capital.

When Zhao Jiaxu heard that Su Che said that a new game was coming out, his jaw almost dropped from shock.

"Are you sure you want to develop a new game at this time point?" Zhao Jiaxu asked: "Although you are better than me in terms of technology, you are also very assertive in the general direction. But you are definitely not as good as me when it comes to the company's specific operations. Say, do you know the current financial situation of 17ga? Do you know that if we spend manpower, material and financial resources to develop new games, all the projects we are working on now will be delayed.

Do you think we are grand?Can it also perform multi-line operation?Besides, even if Shan Shan operates multiple lines, he still has to distinguish between primary and secondary.Now our main task is to play the platform together, followed by the long-term planning of the payment software together.

If you develop a new game now...you can give me a reason. "

"In terms of the economic situation, I really don't know as well as you, but I know that our company has been making a lot of money recently. After all, I have a lot of money in my pocket. We also had a share in the Shanda web game before. Players can't effectively distinguish Whether the server is ours or Shanda's, for them, this is the game jointly produced by our two companies.

In terms of game promotion, we actually do better than Shanda.Now Shanda is earning a lot of money, and we earn a lot more than they do.
