Revisiting Future Path

040 The Dust of Gold

Wei Dongsheng had contact with Lu Binqi in his previous life, and he generally knew his basic information.

Lu Binqi is a distant relative of Jing Minqiang, and Lai Jingminqiang's political resources support his stepping into the political arena, and he is the secretary of a leader in Lutong City. Unexpectedly, Lu Bin's unsuccessful official luck, met the leader's fall, and even carried a scapegoat. Lu Binqi felt that the officialdom was not free, so he simply withdrew and helped Jing Minqiang deal with trivial matters as a secretary assistant. Over time, by the time of his previous life in 2016, Lu Binqi had become Jing Minqiang's right-hand man. It is a pity that Lu Binqi is in bad luck. During the fall of the Shadow Empire, he was regarded as a diehard and shot in the street, causing Wei Dongsheng not to know his true nature.

Gossip, leave it alone.

During the tea and dinner, Jing Minqiang led Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei to communicate with Wei Dongsheng, discussing how the Chunqiu Network Technology Company will develop in the future, and how the "Ten Kingdoms Spring and Autumn" will operate in the future. Both Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei are executive talents. They are expected to oppose the concept of free online games, but they are willing to obey Wei Dongsheng's orders.

Wei Dongsheng took advantage of this situation to Jingminqiang.

Had it not been for Jing Minqiang to endorse Wei Dongsheng, Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei would have heard the new words about free online games and would have gotten up and left.

Without it, later generations captured the "free game model" of the online game industry in China, and in 2002 there was no market at all. One is the humanistic background factor. The game industry has just used online games to get out of the quagmire of piracy. Who would dare to imagine a free mode of operation; the second is the limitations of the era. The online recharge channels in 2002 were not perfect, and the cost of physical recharge cards was relatively high. , It is difficult for operators to earn huge profits by relying on one-tenth or one-percent of players.

Jing Minqiang is also not optimistic about the free game mode.

However, Jing Minqiang was optimistic about Wei Dongsheng. Wei Dongsheng wanted to play this way, so Wei Dongsheng played it like this. Anyway, it was Wei Dongsheng's own money that was consumed. After Wei Dongsheng hit his head and broke his blood, Jing Minqiang would make his own voice and put forward his own opinions. Jing Minqiang’s investment ideas are actually very similar to Wei Dongsheng’s. They are "I will put forward my opinion. If you don’t want to listen, I will shut up. I will prove that you are right in the future and I am wrong. I apologize to you; the future will prove You were wrong and I was right. You apologize to me."

Every time you shut up, you are actually betting against you.

Wei Dongsheng wins the bet, the winner should not be criticized, everything is fine; Wei Dongsheng loses the bet, the situation will be reversed instantly, and Jing Minqiang's interference and restrictions are everywhere.

Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei look down on the free game mode, but respect and trust Jing Minqiang's vision, so all opinions are kept in the bottom of their hearts and Wei Dongsheng's orders are executed as qualified executors. With the competent assistants of Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei, Wei Dongsheng quickly opened up the situation in Yanjing.

On December 13, 2002, Wei Dongsheng formally registered Yanjing Chunqiu Network Co., Ltd. and Yanjing Chunqiu Software Co., Ltd.

"The Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" is an online game that cannot be accurately valued at present. If the valuation is too low, give generously to Jing Minqiang and Huo Yongshan, and Wei Dongsheng will not be reconciled; if the valuation reaches 20 million or even before the ability to collect money is proven One hundred million, it was obvious that Wei Dongsheng was so greedy, and giving Jing Minqiang's ten million shares became a joke.

Rather than such a dilemma, simply split the ownership and operation rights of "Ten Kingdoms".

Chunqiu Software (Yanjing Chunqiu Software Co., Ltd.) acts as a developer. Wei Dongsheng holds the sole proprietorship and fully owns all the copyrights of "Ten Kingdoms Spring and Autumn". Then, Chunqiu Software signed a contract with Chunqiu Network (Yanjing Chunqiu Network Co., Ltd.) to transfer the operation rights of "Ten Kingdoms Spring and Autumn" in China.

In this way, the valuation problem of "Ten Kingdoms" is avoided.

At the same time, in order to ensure its own interests, the operation right transfer agreement of "Ten Kingdoms" is very inclined to the Spring and Autumn Software which is wholly owned by Wei Dongsheng. The agreement stipulates that Chunqiu Network needs to pay 5 million yuan in copyright tax in advance to supplement the research and development of "Ten Kingdoms Spring and Autumn"; after the formal operation, it must pay 30% of the monthly sales share on time.

A simple example to explain.

After the official operation of "Ten Kingdoms", if the total sales amount is 10,000 yuan, 3,000 yuan of which will be transferred to the Spring and Autumn Software account. The remaining seven thousand yuan will be divided by the Chunqiu Kingdom, regardless of various operating expenses and taxes. Wei Dongsheng accounts for 62.7%, of which 4389 yuan is Wei Dongsheng's income. In this way, Wei Dongsheng can get 7,389 yuan of the total sales of 10,000 yuan, which is equivalent to quietly raising the proportion of shares to 73.89%.

These little tricks, of course, can't hide from Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei, let alone Jing Minqiang.

However, they didn't care at all.

Except for Wei Dongsheng, no one is optimistic about the free-to-play game mode, and no one is optimistic about "The Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms".

Who will spy on worthless things?

Fortunately, Lu Binqi and Hu Shifei are still competent, and Chunqiu Network and Chunqiu Software have recruited new employees in an orderly manner. At the same time, Wei Dongsheng deeply understands that he is really strong. He takes advantage of Jing Minqiang to quickly stabilize Yanjing, but he will not always rely on Jing Minqiang. During the establishment of Chunqiu Network and Chunqiu Software, Wei Dongsheng made full use of his previous life vision to explore those elites who have not yet risen.

As mentioned earlier, for the TAB golden key in the previous life, the head of Tencent is not Ma Huateng, the head of Alibaba is not Jack Ma, and the head of Baidu is not Robin Li. The person in charge has changed, and his important veterans have also changed. Many famous figures in previous lives have been quiet at the bottom of the Internet.

This is Wei Dongsheng's opportunity.

Wei Dongsheng believes that these elites who are buried deep because of inexplicable variables will shine brightly in his hands, because they have proven their potential in the previous life.

Kang Yonghe, one of Tencent's eighteen tigers in his previous life, is an old dog in Goose Factory.

Chang Mingxia, one of Tencent's eighteen tiger generals in her previous life, called the elegant white swan.

Ye Youhang, in his previous life was one of the seven arhats of Alibaba, and his name passed the river arhat.

Sun Mingxue, was one of Baidu's five swordsmen in his previous life, nicknamed Qinglian Jianxian.

Lei Jiafei was one of the five Baidu swordsmen in his previous life, nicknamed Kuaijian Afei.

In the previous life, these five people were all well-known big brothers, but perhaps because of the butterfly effect or other factors, they were all deeply buried in the soil. For example, Kang Yonghe, who was a benchmark among cross-platform software architects in his previous life, has now become a customer service agent in this life. Another example is Chang Mingxia. In her previous life, she revitalized Tencent's game department by herself. In just three years, she brought Tencent to the number one online game operator in China, known as Tencent's savior. In this life, she became lonely. Created an artist.

These buried elites, Wei Dongsheng all received them.

Considering that they are not yet familiar with their advantages, Kang Yonghe is not familiar with software architecture, and Chang Mingxia does not understand game operations, Wei Dongsheng deliberately set up an assistant team and appointed them all as assistants to guide them to their areas of expertise.

And so on, the two new companies quickly took shape.

Free online games and paid online games have completely different ways of playing. "World of Warcraft" certainly does not need to be considered as a thousand riders. The reverse is also true. "Zhengtu" will never allow five free players to be able to gang up and die a top-up. One hundred thousand yuan star player.

These differences must have a clear concept when planning a game.

Therefore, the concept of free online games cannot be hidden to the last moment. It must be spoken out loud in advance, so that a group of employees clearly understand Wei Dongsheng’s thinking and the necessity of certain mechanisms, so that they can be targeted and optimized to the effect Wei Dongsheng wants.

In order to unify his thinking, Wei Dongsheng gathered dozens of employees from the two companies to give a speech on the prospect of free online games. Wei Dongsheng stood on the stage and looked around at Lu Binqi, Hu Shifei and other employees: "Many employees are questioning the prospects of free online games, or concluding that it has no future at all, or that it is as conservative and conservative as other manufacturers. Today, I am not going to make a long discussion. The benefits of the free online game mode, let me tell you a short story first."

Wei Dongsheng looked around the programmer group and named one of them: "Lan Xiaoquan, I remember your last company was NetEase?"

Lan Xiaoquan: "Yes. I left Yingxiang and went to Netease. I soon transferred to the 3d project. Netease’s 3d project was in a mess. I haven’t decided what to do, and I’m not even sure about the technical plan. I am a little confused. Unconscious and unwilling to waste time and wasting his life there, he resigned and returned to Yanjing, which coincided with the expansion of our company."

Wei Dongsheng: "Are you familiar with Netease's Westward Journey project?"

Lan Xiaoquan replied: "I spent a short period of time in Journey to the West II. Before I knew my colleagues well, I transferred to the 3d project."

Wei Dongsheng signaled Lan Xiaoquan to sit down: "Since Comrade Lan Xiaoquan is not familiar with the black history of NetEase's Westward Journey project, let me tell you. When Westward Journey is listed, we will cooperate with the agent Zhiguan, and Zhiguan will help NetEase promote the Westward Journey customers. At the end, you actually need to pay a part of the copyright fee to Netease. Look, others help you promote, but charge him the copyright fee. We can’t say that Netease is stupid. This was in 2001, the last year that just passed. Everyone should remember the time. Market rules. In fact, in addition to "Westward Journey", "Jin Yong's Heroes Online" and other online games, the client is also charged, maybe not much, but the charge is the charge. Each client is equipped with a cd- Key, the game cannot be activated without the cd-key. Is this selling stand-alone games or online games?"

“Online games are sold as stand-alone games. We can’t say that this model is stupid. Because this mechanism works well in Europe and the United States. In the European and American markets, some games not only need to spend money on the client, but every time online games are updated, players must also Pay again to purchase the new version of the content. However, Europe and the United States are Europe and the United States, China is China, Europe and the United States have European and American environments, and China has the characteristics of China. It is absolutely impossible to copy the successful experience of the European and American online game industry."

"Why is "Legend" so popular?"

"The core factor is that Shanda.com has broken the mindset and no longer treats online games as software trading. To promote online games such as "Dahua Game", the agent pays copyright fees; for the promotion of "Legend", Shanda Networks pays the promotion fee. Ask yourself, from the perspective of channel vendors, who are you willing to work with?"
