Revisiting Future Path

064 Warcraft Concept Stock

Even if it goes bankrupt, you can make money.

A thousand players online can make 200 million US dollars on it.

The management attending the meeting were all dumbfounded!

"The Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" was able to succeed with infamy, that was because countless players paid for it and used RMB to pile up its monthly sales of 32.91 million yuan. After this battle, everyone has seen that free games are not free, and they praised Wei Dongsheng's superb money-making skills. However, no matter how hard you try to diverge your thinking, everyone can't imagine what it is like to "make money even if you lose money". Is "World of Warcraft" special, or is there such a magical way to make money?

After free games are not free, is there still a Cotai Strip where loss-making business does not lose money?

Even Chang Mingxia, who is full of online game market data in his mind, can't imagine how a game that lost a thousand players online and went bankrupt would collect 200 million US dollars.

Wei Dongsheng didn't make any doubts, and read keywords to remind everyone: "SoftBank Asia, Shanda Network..."

Chang Mingxia instantly thought of a possibility and blurted out: "IPO!"

Jing Minqiang followed closely and understood what Wei Dongsheng meant: "Go to the US for listing."

Shanda Network encountered the legendary copyright at the beginning of the year and introduced SoftBank Asia's US$40 million in financing during the crisis. Now it is struggling to go public in the United States. Going to the US to go public can indeed quickly increase the market value of the Spring and Autumn Network, and then grab hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, but what does this have to do with "World of Warcraft"?

Wei Dongsheng explained in detail: "Looking at international public opinion, "World of Warcraft" has benefited from the accumulation of "Warcraft" and Blizzard's inherent brand effect, and has a great chance of achieving good results in the European and American markets. We went to the United States and wanted to circle the United States. Stockholders’ money is not enough to rely on "Ten Kingdoms Spring and Autumn" alone. No matter how successful "Ten Kingdoms Spring and Autumn" is, it is also a far-reaching success. But "World of Warcraft" is different. Many American investors are from "World of Warcraft" Potential players, American investors understand Vivendi, understand Bizzard, understand "World of Warcraft", and then judge the value of our company based on the performance of "World of Warcraft" in the European and American markets. With these social foundations, we are completely Manually create a Warcraft concept stock."

Lu Binqi's strength lies in his good interpersonal relationship, and he is not familiar with capital operations. He questioned it blankly: "Blizzard is Blizzard, we are us. If "World of Warcraft" is not satisfied in China, who will buy our account?"

Wei Dongsheng: "We can go to the U.S. before the "World of Warcraft" China public beta. "World of Warcraft" has not been tested in China, and there are no specific results. American stockholders naturally continue to look forward to it."

Lu Binqi was stunned.

It turns out that going to the US to go public can still be so shameless.

Lu Bin thought for a while, and continued to spur: "Rumors say that "World of Warcraft" will be launched next spring. In such a short period of time, we have no time to prepare for the listing in the United States, right?"

Wei Dongsheng smiled: "As far as Blizzard's virtues are concerned, if it does not bounce to 2005, American investors will definitely be more enthusiastic about the Warcraft concept stock."

Lu Binqi: "What if Blizzard doesn't bounce tickets?"

Wei Dongsheng: "Don't be afraid, we still have China's own national conditions as a line of defense. Even if Blizzard is diligent to launch "World of Warcraft" in January 2004, we can still get enough preparation time for the Spring and Autumn Network. Ha ha, What do the Ministry of Culture and the General Administration of Press and Publication do? It’s very difficult to get through their approval quickly and move the whole body. But conversely, it’s not easy to delay the normal approval process of "World of Warcraft"? Change, change there, and when we change, "World of Warcraft" will be a big success in Europe and the United States. By then, it will be more convenient for us to operate a Warcraft concept stock."

Wei Dongsheng's way of making money is capital operation.

To put it bluntly, it's not magical.

Packing and listing, circling money and leaving, leave investors with a long-term downturn in bad stocks.

Chang Mingxia didn't understand, Lu Binqi didn't understand it, but Jing Minqiang did. Jing Minqiang's wife's real name is Gong Qiuqiu, and the life plan arranged by the Gong family for Gong Qiuqiu was originally to go to Wall Street for an internship, and then return to China to cut the capital field. Although Gong Qiuqiu later resisted the arrangement of the Gong family, after all, he spent two years on Wall Street. Because of this, Jing Minqiang was also familiar with some common sense of capital operation. Capital operation is a complex game of interests. Every prospective listed company will encounter hostile acquisitions by barbarians at the door.

Wei Dongsheng's capital operation is still conscientious, at least to build his own credibility. The more common type of money in the capital market is the real ignorance. For example, temporarily borrowing 3 billion to quickly acquire a listed company to promote good news to raise the stock price. When the stockholders entered the Internet, the speculators immediately took the money and left, which not only emptied the stockholders' pockets, but also caused serious bleeding for the listed company. Speculators and some managements of listed companies made a fortune, and most of the losses were borne by shareholders.

This kind of capital operation, except for the long-term reputation of the capital market, does not have many real problems.

Because it is normal for the project to fail.

The introduction of online games is inherently risky, and it is normal for the "World of Warcraft" project to fail.

Originally, no one can guarantee that "World of Warcraft" must succeed.

If even Blizzard wants to pit, Chunqiu Network can also register a parallel subsidiary and secretly transfer the agency operation rights of "Ten Kingdoms" to this subsidiary. When the operation of "World of Warcraft" failed, the stock plunged into forced delisting, Chunqiu Network declared bankruptcy thereafter, and the staff changed to a new vest to continue operating "Ten Kingdoms".

Of course, this is the worst choice.

If this is true, Wei Dongsheng will definitely be blacklisted by many organizations.

Wei Dongsheng explained his thoughts in this way: "Even if the operation of "World of Warcraft" fails, I can guarantee that you have no actual loss of profit."

Jing Minqiang pondered the words: "This way of circumventing money will cause too many complications."

Wei Dongsheng nodded: "I understand that when I made this suggestion, I already understood the consequences. A failure with a legacy is better than a trousers. To tell you the truth, I have confidence in "World of Warcraft." For players who have time but no money and those who have money but no time, "World of Warcraft" is aimed at time-paying players, and the time-paying players obviously have a demand for a real 3D production, which can supplement the coverage of the Spring and Autumn Network. Legend is a phenomenon-level work. "The Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" may also be a phenomenon-level work that pioneered history. I believe "World of Warcraft" is also a phenomenon-level work in the field of time-based payment."

In the previous life, Wei Dongsheng witnessed the success of "World of Warcraft" and was an ordinary player of "World of Warcraft", successively burning more than one thousand points for it. Wei Dongsheng has confidence in the Huaguo online game market, as well as in "World of Warcraft", but these confidence cannot be transmitted to the employees of the Internet Spring and Autumn.

After all, in the online game market in China in 2002 and 2003, Korean games were the mainstream, Japanese games were supporting roles, and domestic games were embellishments. European and American games represented by "Magic Sword" and "Endless Mission" were all miserable. . Although free pirated games have contributed to Blizzard’s brand dissemination in China, who can guarantee that "World of Warcraft" will not go to the streets like "Magic Sword"?

Wei Dongsheng could not persuade his collaborators.

Some people may say that it is good if they know it, and persistence is success. On the contrary, they can show the prophet fan in Jing Minqiang and others.

Although this kind of thinking is beautiful, it is a taboo in actual operation. It is very easy to leave the impression of arbitrariness and suppress the management's ability to innovate.

An allusion to the three countries in the late Han Dynasty. Before the Battle of Guandu, Tian Feng felt that Liu Bei had been defeated and the time had been lost. It was not easy to send troops at present. Yuan Shao insisted on his own opinion, and then ushered in a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Guandu. Someone reported to Tian Feng and felt that Yuan Shaoding would reuse Tian Feng because of his previous predictions. How did you think, Tian Feng sighed: "If Yuan Shao wins, I can still get my whole body; if Yuan Shao loses, I will die."

Yuan Shao's position in Tianfeng and Wei Dongsheng's position in other partners are completely different.

However, people's hearts are always similar.

When it's not about themselves, people will appreciate those predictions beforehand; when it's about themselves, people will often reject these predictions subconsciously. Perhaps he felt that Wei Dongsheng had not cooperated well and resigned and left; or he was frustrated and doubted his own ability. From then on, he unconditionally believed that Wei Dongsheng's choices were correct, and lost his ability to think and the courage to argue with Wei Dongsheng in court.

Either way, Wei Dongsheng is not willing to see it.

Judging the success of "World of Warcraft" comes from past lives.

Wei Dongsheng has enough confidence in this judgment.

However, Wei Dongsheng is not a sage who is born to know, after all, he needs the creative ability of the management in other aspects. Like persuading Wei Dad and Madam Wei, Chang Mingxia promptly gave up the emigration argument for college entrance examination, which quickly dismantled Wei Dad and Madam Wei’s psychological defense. Wei Dongsheng needs the ability of Chang Mingxia and more Chang Mingxia to open up the territory for the Spring and Autumn series of companies, instead of acting as a prophecy of family affairs.

The clues of the characters in this world are complex and changeable. The head of Tencent is Ma Huateng, the head of Alibaba is Jack Ma, and the head of Baidu is Robin Li. It is impossible for everything to follow the trajectory of the previous life. In this world, Tencent, without Chang Mingxia's emergency rescue, wouldn't "Triumph" fail.

What Wei Dongsheng does will disturb the course of history.

The more successful Wei Dongsheng is in the future, the stronger this disturbance will be.

The memory of thirty years in the previous life is very useful, but not omnipotent. Wei Dongsheng clearly understands his own strengths and weaknesses, so he will not be a fortune teller who will do it alone. Instead, he will use the excuses such as going to the US to list and operate the concept stocks of World of Warcraft. Worries.

Jing Minqiang was originally willing to sit and watch Wei Dongsheng’s adventures. After learning about the Warcraft concept stock plan, he more clearly supported Wei Dongsheng: "We really need to represent World of Warcraft from the perspective of going to the United States. It’s just that 800 million yuan is not a decimal. Make Vivendi believe that we have the ability to pay 800 million yuan?"
