Chapter 1112: Gaming

One thing shows how serious the financial crisis caused by the subprime mortgage is. The domestic real estate market, which has been booming for ten years, has actually started to drop in price!

This kind of black swan event can easily cause public panic, but it can become a carnival for hunters.

Get in now!

Buy the bottom!

Taizun Real Estate, which Zhou Buqi and Shi's father-in-law started together, started to buy land in Shanghai and the capital. Also entering the arena was Lao Zhang.

Many times, Zhou Buqi felt that this buddy was not suitable for the Internet, and maybe letting him do real estate might achieve even more astonishing achievements.

This morning, Zhou Buqi went to SJS with Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang took a piece of land here at a low price and planned to build an office building - Changyou Building.

Changyou has been spun off from Sohu, with Sohu holding 58% and Ziwei Star holding 35%. This can be regarded as the deepest cooperation between the two parties in so many years.

Before twenty minutes had arrived, Zhou Buqi complained a bit, "What place did you choose? It's too far away!"

Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile: "The environment is good, and there is a city park next to it. When playing games, creativity is very important, and you can't stay in the company all the time. There is a park downstairs, and you can often go for a walk and relax."

"It's all out of Zhongguancun."

Zhou Buqi was speechless.

Backed by the three major talent bases of Tsinghua University, Peking University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhongguancun is the birthplace of the domestic science and technology industry. It is all outside the fifth ring road and has lost the right to choose talents first.

This is also the reason why Zhou Buqi was trying to find a relationship, and he wanted to move Friends.com and Xiaonei.com to Sohu Building. It is located in Tsinghua Science and Technology Park, so it has priority in terms of geographical location.

Zhang Chaoyang was also very helpless, "The place is full, there is no land."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "I haven't participated in Changyou's board of directors, nor have I read the financial report. What plans do you have for the company's development?"

"Let's play a game."

"Which direction?"

""Dragon and Babu" is doing well, it is currently the most popular online game adapted from a novel in China. I think this is the advantage of Changyou. Next, we can further obtain the right to adapt Jin Yong's works and make some large-scale online games. And then Some page games are also adapted from novels, and you get the copyright from your Toutiao Literature."

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "You have already said that making games requires creativity. Is the idea of ​​copying still called creativity?"

Zhang Chaoyang froze for a moment, "You don't think so?"

Zhou Buqi remained silent.

Zhang Chaoyang said: "There is an adapted game "The Deer and Ding Ji" that has reached the late stage, and it will be tested and launched next year. There is also "Water Margin", which is a Q-version game that is positioned to surpass "Journey to the West"..."

Zhou Buqi interrupted him, frowning and said: "Old Zhang, don't you think the current domestic game industry is very sad?"

"Um?"

"There are too many agency games in China, including games from the United States and South Korea. This is also normal. After joining the WTO, it is a global village. But, do our domestic games have overseas markets? At most, they are promoted in a small range in Japan and Southeast Asia. The audience is also limited."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Chaoyang twitched the corners of his mouth with a complicated expression.

Depend on!

I knew it!

Cooperating with you kid, nothing good will happen!

The ambition is too big!

Needless to say, this kid is definitely not satisfied with only the domestic game market, but also wants to develop overseas. How can it be so easy?

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Changyou is cooperating with Blizzard."

Zhang Chaoyang glanced at him, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Look at how well Blizzard has done. The games they make can be sold all over the world. Not to mention "World of Warcraft", the stand-alone "Warcraft" is also very good, it can provide us with ideas .”

Zhang Chaoyang had a headache, "If you have any thoughts, just say it!"

Zhou Buqi said: "Competitive games are very marketable. Look at the carnival held by Blizzard. Whether it is StarCraft or Warcraft, they are very popular. They have stepped out of the game circle and entered the sports circle. This time they will become taller."

"Gaming?"

"I think there is a market for this. It just so happened that I found that there are some battle maps in "Warcraft", which are very popular, such as Zhensan, such as Dota. Zhensan only has a domestic market, and the design of Dota is more international. Blizzard didn’t care about it. If this map can be taken out separately, separated from Warcraft, and made into a new game product, maybe there will be a market.”

Zhang Chaoyang gritted his teeth and said, "Why do you think that once you come out, you come out once?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "Old Zhang, I didn't just say that casually. If Changyou's industry wants to grow bigger, it must have a richer game category, and it will only do game adaptations of novels without thinking aggressively." , Sooner or later it will pass. The JJ game platform is also a competition, the more competition the more playable. The essence of playing games is to feel a sense of superiority and accomplishment that cannot be experienced in reality. Do you know sky and moon? Popular among young people?"

Zhang Chaoyang looked suspicious, "Really?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Try it! Isn't Changyou going to be the agent of Warcraft and World of Warcraft? This must be a sky-high fee. At that time, you can take the map owned by Blizzard as a bargaining chip." The copyright is enough. Then cooperate with the map designer and make sure it works.”

Zhang Chaoyang was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I planned to take Changyou to Nasdaq next year."

Zhou Buqi didn't take it seriously, "What's the rush? Next year, "World of Warcraft" will be successfully represented, and "Tian Long Ba Bu" will become more popular, and they will come up with a beautiful financial report. Let's go public in the next year. The global economy is so bad, you have to rush to go public. Can’t raise too much money. Short of money, shareholders inject capital.”

The so-called eat a fall and gain a wisdom.

Lao Zhang has already suffered a few times, and he respects this kid's suggestion very much, nodding deeply, "Okay, I'll arrange it later... um? What's the game you're talking about? Dota?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It's a map in "Warcraft", D-O-T-A, Dota."

"Okay." Zhang Chaoyang sighed, feeling helpless, "I have found out that Changyou's strategy will follow you."

Lao Zhang is actually a slightly stubborn and individual person.

In the previous life, Wang Xiaochuan worked as a Sogou, and the traffic was not high. Wang Xiaozhou conceived a "three-stage rocket" strategy, to build a Sogou browser, and use the browser to drain Sogou.

Reported to Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang was furious.

Thinking that Wang Xiaozhou had lost focus on search, and his mind started to fly, he fired Wang Xiaozhou and stopped him from being the CEO of Sogou.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaozhou is not someone to wait for nothing.

Sogou was founded by him alone. After suffering such a big grievance, most people might resign. It just so happened that Baidu threw out an olive branch for the second time and invited him to be CTO.

But Wang Xiaozhou refused again.

After Sohu Xianfu, it became the busiest period of time for him in Sohu. He lived and boarded in the company every day, and spent half a month with only a few friends to create Sogou by himself. The browser was then marketed with great success.

Lao Zhang came to his senses and was very happy. He called Wang Xiaochuan back and let him take charge of Sogou again.

For Changyou's suggestion to enter the e-sports market, Lao Zhang does not agree with it from the bottom of his heart.

However, Zhou Buqi is not Wang Xiaochuan.

Zhang Chaoyang can easily handle Wang Xiaochuan, but he needs to respect Zhou Buqi enough.

...

Went to investigate in the morning.

It happened that this place was not too far from the headquarters of Yuanwei Group, so Zhou Buqi rejected Lao Zhang's invitation to have lunch together, and came here to find Wu Yu and Ning Yameng.

It's the same restaurant as last time.

"Where did Linlin go?"

"She went on a field trip and won't be back until the day after tomorrow. She wants to move the milk tea factory and move it to the central provinces."

"oh."

Zhou Buqi admired in his heart.

It really is Shi Jinglin, she is really courageous. It has only been more than half a month since he became the chairman of Yuanwei Group, and he has made a big move. The cost of building a factory in the capital is too high. Also, not very friendly to the staff.

The cost of living in the capital is too high. Working part-time in a milk tea factory with only a little income a month makes it difficult to live a decent life. If you go to the central provinces, you can improve your life. Moreover, the central provinces extend in all directions, with convenient transportation and convenient transportation.

In fact, Dad Xiong Bao also wanted to move the milk tea factory in the capital, but failed. This is the headquarters of the general manager Fang Qiwen, and it is a bit immobile.

Shi Jinglin is here, but don't care about that, just do it as soon as she comes up!

In the future, the capital will only serve as the administrative center and operation center of Yuanwei Group, moving all production processes to economically underdeveloped areas to save costs.

"Brother-in-law, are you angry?" Ning Yameng's voice was weak, a little worried about gains and losses.

Zhou Buqi was slightly taken aback, "Angry? Why am I angry?"

Immediately reacted.

In the past period of time, I was so busy with Han Yan and Chen Yan that I neglected Ning Yameng. Some time ago, the fight was so hot, but it took a long time to get on her body, and then it became cold all of a sudden, which caused her some misunderstandings.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Nothing, there are a lot of things in the company recently, and I can't get away. Didn't your sister tell you?"

Ning Yameng shook her head lightly, "She never tells me about the company."

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, the main thing is... I have to find a way to convince the relevant departments, and then cooperate with Tsinghua University, give them a lot of money, and start a new technical major."

"Give them money?"

"right."

"how much?"

"At least it will cost hundreds of millions. This is a long-term project, and at least dozens of research topics must be supported."

Not to mention Ning Yameng, Wu Yu was also a little unbelievable, "So much money? Is it all given to Tsinghua University?"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Cultivating talents, of course, costs money. To do some research, in addition to purchasing equipment, you also need to pay salaries and bonuses to people."

Wu Yumei's eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "But I read the report, saying that Tsinghua's talents have all gone abroad, and Tsinghua has become a preparatory class for studying in the United States."

Zhou Buqi raised a black line on his forehead, "Don't look at those messy things, they won't produce any real value except to confuse the public and destroy the good situation of the country's development."

Ning Yameng also felt very strange, "Brother-in-law, isn't it? Many people from Tsinghua University have gone to the United States, right? Isn't it fake?"

Zhou Buqi said: "How can there be so many? It's more than half, less than 60%."

Wu Yu was angry and funny, and said angrily, "It's more than half of it, isn't that much? Husband, what do you think? Why are you always so strange?"
