Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi will not participate in the specific implementation level.

But there are two calls that he wants to make personally, one is Shi Yuzhu from Giant, and the other is Chen Tianqiao from Shanda.

This is something that was agreed upon in Shanghai, and I have to inform you out of politeness.

There was no problem with Shi Yuzhu, so he readily agreed and pointed out some minor problems to help Ziweixing improve them. But something went wrong with Chen Tianqiao.

A pit fee of 10 million?

too expensive!

quit!

Zhou Buqi was stunned, unbelievable.

This Boss Chen, what on earth is he thinking? Isn't this vision too bad?

Cooperating with Helo, this is not a question of 10 million or 20 million slot fees, it is a strategic issue of the company!

It is a new direction of "social traffic + game monetization"!

Even if this direction is wrong, Helo's drainage effect is not good, at worst, the contract will not be renewed next year, which means a loss of tens of millions. For the sake of the group's strategy, invest tens of millions to try it out. Is there any problem?

I would rather miss it than let it go!

Moreover, this model has success stories.

Penguin's game business can rise rapidly and become the top three game giants in China, isn't it because of the strong driving force of social traffic?

Shanda is the largest game giant in China, why do you still care about such a small amount of money?

Helo is willing to share its own traffic. What a blessing this is to the industry. Boss Chen doesn't appreciate it?

Zhou Buqi was quite emotional.

No wonder Shanda was able to gradually decline from the largest Internet giant in China, and finally gave up the Internet business and transformed into an investment. Boss Chen's strategic vision is not enough. He made repeated mistakes in his strategic decisions and fell behind everywhere.

Boss Chen didn't want to pay, so it didn't matter.

Although Shanda is the largest game giant in China, they rely on volume to win. They operate more than a dozen games under their banner, so they earn the highest income. In terms of a single game, Shanda's top ten game in China is the "Legend" that relies on its own money.

In fact, at the beginning, Blizzard wanted to hand over "World of Warcraft" to Shanda's agency, and the agency fee was 50 million US dollars for 4 years. When Boss Chen heard this, he flew into a rage and took me for a fool?

And then refused.

Then, it's a real fool.

Ninetowns has successfully taken over "World of Warcraft", and together with "Miracle World", it has secured the second place in the domestic game industry. So much so that Boss Zhu from Ninetowns often utters bold words, saying that Huangpu Beach has changed its face, and Lao Chen is no longer able to do it!

After "Journey" came out last year, Shi Yuzhu also made similar remarks, all mocking Boss Chen's mistake in strategic decision-making.

Zhou Buqi doesn't care if Shanda comes or not, but the problem is... Shanda is not willing to pay the mere 10 million pit fee. So Shanda's winger game, is it willing to pay this money?

After asking, sure enough.

"It's impossible, it's too expensive!" Chen Tianqiao seemed very dissatisfied with Zhou Buqi's asking price, "Mr. Zhou, Shanda has great sincerity in cooperation, but the price you offered is too outrageous."

Zhou Buqi was not very happy, and said lightly: "Mr. Chen, I might as well reveal some business secrets to you. Just now I have negotiated with the giant's Mr. Shi. He invested 50 million to buy a diamond pit and a Bronze pit. Rare things are more expensive, so the price is only low or high."

"He's a madman."

"I believe other game companies will also recognize it."

"Shanda will not accept it."

Chen Tianqiao's attitude is very firm. What he dislikes the most is that someone "blackmails" him because he has a lot of money.

Zhou Buqi frowned, "Where's the forward?"

Chen Tianqiao said decisively: "The winger will not agree either!"

"Wingfeng game hall and Haofang battle platform, don't you want to connect with Helo?"

"Even if it's docking, it can't be such a price."

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "It seems that our differences are a bit big, Mr. Chen won't think about it anymore?"

"The price must be reduced."

On this kind of matter, Chen Tianqiao's attitude was very firm, and he said what he said.

Back then, Shanda operated "Legend" with great success, and the Korean producer of the game wanted to increase the price significantly to renew the contract, but Chen Tianqiao directly responded, either reducing the price and cooperating, or changing the agent! I'm not used to you!

Then, the Koreans became impatient, took the initiative to lower the quotation, and came to ask Shanda to renew the contract.

Later, Blizzard also came, and Chen Tianqiao had the same attitude to let Shanda become an agent, he had to lower the price and cooperate, or change the agent!

Then, the Americans didn't get used to him.

"World of Warcraft" was really handed over to Ninetowns, a small company that was still unknown at the time.

This time it was similar, Chen Tianqiao's attitude was the same as before, either to reduce the price and cooperate or change the partner.

Naturally, Zhou Buqi would not spoil him, and said flatly: "This is a rule and cannot be broken."

Chen Tianqiao heard his bad tone and didn't want to get into trouble with him, so he took the initiative to smile and said, "It doesn't matter, there is no righteousness in business. The matter of "Three Kingdoms" is still going according to the previous plan. The team of "Three Kingdoms" has already been notified. , you can pick it up."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, this time the cooperation was not successful, and there will be a next time. The game panel is just the beginning, and now the time is very tight, and only 10 pits can be set up. When Helo's business matures and the technology becomes stronger , will open an open platform, and all games can be added to it. Then the cost will be low, and it will not be too late to cooperate.”

Having said that, no one can say what will change in the future.

This is a new business, and Zhou Buqi does not have the advantage of foresight. It is impossible to predict what will happen next and how it will develop.

We can only take one step at a time.

But now a new problem arises.

The winger game hall stopped cooperating, and Shanda was unwilling to pay for pit slots. Helo always needed to reserve a slot for chess and card game platforms.

Who to choose instead?

The first thing Zhou Buqi thought of was the upstairs neighbor.

However, there is no rush right now.

Zhou Buqi called Lao Zhang and made an appointment to go to his office tomorrow morning to discuss cooperation. Then, she went to the airport with Ning Yaxian.

This is a top priority!

Ning Yaxian's younger sister, Ning Yameng, came from her hometown in Nancang.

Oops!

Really been waiting!

On the way to the airport, Zhou Buqi hugged and hugged, kissed and chewed Ning Yaxian in the car, "Yaxian, you are so virtuous!"

Ning Yaxian said with twinkling eyes: "Then you will give me a child."

Zhou Buqi said: "Don't worry, there will be. Oh, my sister is here, do you want to go shopping first, as a token of appreciation?"

"No need, it's not like I haven't seen it before."

"Yeah, that's right. Oh, Yaxian, you've made another dream come true for me."

Ning Yaxian couldn't laugh or cry, "It's another dream come true, how many dreams do you have?"

Zhou Buqi chuckled, "This dream is beautiful, sisters..."

"You are not allowed to tell." Ning Yaxian blushed, covered his mouth, and said coquettishly, "I haven't told Xiaomeng yet, we will meet in a while, don't be impatient, don't scare her."

Zhou Buqi was a little disappointed, "Haven't you said it yet? Your work efficiency is too bad, right?"

Ning Yaxian was angry and funny, "How is this a job? We agreed, let her choose, whether she wants to accept it or not, it's up to her, you are not allowed to bully her."

Zhou Buqi hummed: "What's this called? Your sister is my sister, can I bully her? It's too late to pet her! Don't worry, I will love her as much as I love you."

Ning Yaxian was a little dizzy, feeling that she was being entangled by him again.

After going to the airport, the two went to the exit to wait.

Both of them were wearing trench coats, Zhou Buqi was a black one, Ning Yaxian was a beige one, the styles were a bit similar. Ning Yaxian gently took his arm again, looking from a distance, it looked a bit like a couple's outfit.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Ning Yameng arrived late with a trolley case.

She was wearing a blue dress, which was a bit out of tune with the northern weather. It was obviously a little cold, biting her red lips lightly, and her steps were extremely fast.

She looks very beautiful, and she is very similar to Ning Yaxian, with an oval face, long eyelashes, and a fair and delicate face. Her expression was a little tired, but her clear eyes were like sweet springs in the desert, as bright as a pool of clear water.

Ning Yaxian waved her hand from a distance.

When Ning Yameng saw it, she smiled brightly, then walked over quickly, and called out cheerfully: "Sister!" Then she looked at the man next to her sister, hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly called out: "Brother-in-law."

Ning Yaxian said angrily, "Why are you wearing so little?"

Ning Yameng kept jumping, "Who knew the capital was so cold."

Zhou Buqi asked the bodyguard to take over the trolley case, then took off the black windbreaker on his body, and put it on Ning Yameng.

Ning Yameng blushed slightly, blinked, and said sweetly: "Thank you, brother-in-law, you are really personable."

"Also called brother-in-law?"

"ah?"

Ning Yameng froze for a moment, "What's that called?"

Ning Yaxian panicked, she quickly changed the topic, said with a smile: "Let's go, go back to the city for dinner first. Xinxin is in kindergarten, she won't go to work in the afternoon, and I will pick her up after school in a while."

Get in the car and leave the airport.

Ning Yaxian took Ning Yameng's hand and asked her parents about some minor matters, whether her parents were in good health, whether the second uncle's dog had litter, whether the third aunt's house demolition money had been paid...

So much so that Zhou Buqi couldn't get involved.

Fortunately, Ning Yameng was sensible, she turned her gaze around her sister, leaned over to look over, and asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, how is your business doing now? I read media reports that Ziweixing is now the largest private company in China. It is higher than Haier, Lenovo, and Midea."

Zhou Buqi was also polite, "It's okay, the combined market capitalization of these three companies can probably reach half of Ziweixing's."

"Ah? Really or not?"

Ning Yameng was stunned. She knew that her brother-in-law's company was very big, and her sister was his secretary. Every day she came into contact with important officials and big shots, and the funds in her hands were transferred from hundreds of millions to billions.

Unexpectedly, it was exaggerated to this extent!

Ning Yaxian glared at him, and explained: "Ziweixing is not listed, it's all about valuation, the bubble of Internet companies is too big, it's different from those manufacturing industries."

Ning Yameng murmured: "That's amazing."

Zhou Buqi said: "There are more powerful ones, do you want to try?"

"what?"

Ning Yameng was very curious.

Ning Yaxian stretched out her fingernails and pinched Boss Zhou's waist, then quickly changed the subject and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense... Are you really resigning? You don't want the establishment anymore?"

Ning Yameng's brows showed a bit of sadness, she sighed lightly, and shook her head again, "No, I'm not going back, that's sad. I'll be in the capital from now on, looking for a job here. Brother-in-law, I will rely on you in the future, will you accept it?"

"Accept! Must accept!"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand very boldly.

Ning Yameng smiled, "Thank you brother-in-law."
