Chapter 694 Star Sea Expansion

Zhonglian is a game hall, not a paid recharge game like Legend, but a free game. So its main means of revenue is to get a share from Telecom.

In Jianyang's view, Telecom charges a high Internet fee of 5-10 yuan per hour, and Zhonglian has so many online users, and the game time is millions, so the profit here is absolutely amazing.

So since the Zhonglian platform has attracted so many users to consume online, Telecom must give Zhonglian a share of such a big piece of cake, right?

Telecom actually recognizes this point. After all, a big business with tens of millions of revenue is not a small business for Telecom, so both parties were sincere when they first contacted.

It's just that the discussion on how much to share is obviously not so harmonious. In Zhonglian's view, tens of millions of profits must be divided into several million.

But Telecom thinks this is a lion's mouth. Originally, they were willing to cut meat from themselves and had shown their sincerity. You want to kill them right away. Do you really treat Telecom as a fat sheep? So the negotiations that both parties were willing to negotiate instantly came to a standstill.

At this time, "Legend" suddenly appeared. Although it and Zhonglian are two completely different games, Jianyang smelled the threat at the first time.

This is true. With the high Internet fees now, everyone must consider the cost issue when surfing the Internet for entertainment. In the past, I paid a fixed three-hour Internet fee to play Zhonglian. Now that Legend has come out, those who play Legend for a little more time can only play Zhonglian for a little less time.

Zhonglian is a free game platform. Its main way of making money is to share the players' online time with Telecom. Now that the game time has suddenly been diverted, it is undoubtedly a stab in the back of Zhonglian.

"There is no comparison between the types, but the other party has more advantages than us." Bao Yueshan frowned and said.

Zhonglian's development is actually a bit tricky, belonging to the kind of sudden rise. However, the success of the sudden rise also represents their ability and innovation, so in this respect they are no worse than other Internet companies.

But in terms of profit, because it is a sword-like approach, it is naturally not as free as orthodox games. For example, if Zhonglian wants to make money, it can only ask for a share from Telecom, while Chuanqi directly charges for point cards. They can still make a profit without a share from Telecom. In this respect, Zhonglian is undoubtedly in a weak position.

"Can we charge too?" Jian Yang asked.

"It's probably difficult, after all, the game mode is different. And the threshold between us and the other party is also different. They charge because there is only one Chuanqi now, and even if the players have complaints, they can only endure it. But if we charge, several Zhonglians will pop up in an instant. Do you believe it?"

"Is it difficult to develop similar games?" Jian Yang sighed, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Since he has clearly recognized the weakness of Zhonglian and witnessed the rise of Chuanqi, he is not worried about the profitability of the game industry.

"It's not very difficult, but they have already taken the lead. We have no advantage in developing similar games."

Jian Yang raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, and understood what Bao Yueshan meant. Since it is a follow-up, by the time you develop it, they will already have a large number of loyal players.

If you want to attract players to play your game at that time, you will definitely need to reduce the price of recharge point cards. Once you lower the price to grab the market, others will definitely lower the price as well.

In the end, there will definitely be a price war, and the result is probably that the originally paid game will become free. At that time, the players will be happy, but they will be back to the original point of the profit model of negotiating profit sharing with the telecom.

If the Legend of Mir directly cuts off his arm in the face of him, a follower, he has already launched the game, and the other side directly announces it as free. They can't win over a single player, naturally they don't have long game time, and it is impossible to negotiate profit sharing with the telecom, and then a large amount of game development costs will be wasted.

"Then change another game to import. There are more than just Legend of Mir games abroad. Since he can buy such a game from South Korea, we can also buy other games." Jian Yang said after a moment of silence.

Bao Yueshan nodded, and he thought this was a good way. At present, Zhonglian has a large number of users to make money, but it is strangled by the telecom. If there can be a game similar to Legend of Mir to increase the company's revenue capacity, it will undoubtedly allow Zhonglian to take another step forward in an instant.

With the huge number of registered users in Zhonglian, as long as the game is introduced correctly, they will have the ability to surpass Legend in an instant and dominate the entire online game market again.

"Open a branch, why do you suddenly want to open a branch?" In an ordinary restaurant at night, Yang Dongxu and Li Fuzhen sat face to face and ate hot pot like an ordinary couple.

"Things in Hangzhou Hotel are basically stable, so I am going to find a professional manager to help manage it. You will not leave Hangzhou in a short time, right? Anything can be handled in time, so I am going to focus on expanding the branch business."

Looking at Li Fuzhen, who looked serious and did not seem to be joking, Yang Dongxu felt a little distressed. Although the two did not break through the last layer of relationship, this period of time was undoubtedly very sweet.

At this time, Li Fuzhen suddenly had to prepare to go out of town to deal with the branch. Obviously, although she accepted the current situation, she still had some contradictions in her heart, so she wanted to separate and calm down temporarily.

"Have you chosen the location?" Yang Dongxu picked up a piece of cooked tripe and put it in Li Fuzhen's bowl.

"Sanya, Huangshan in your hometown of Anhui Province, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Yanjing are all within the scope of investigation. My plan is to open at least three five-star hotels in five years that are not inferior to Hangzhou Xinghai in quality."

"Not only focusing on scenic spot tourism?" He couldn't help asking after hearing Li Fuzhen's site selection.

"Although Samsung has done resort hotels before, it is not actually my forte. I am good at business hotels, but I have accumulated some experience here at West Lake Xinghai, so I plan to focus on travel and business at the same time. It is a bit too simple to always focus on scenic spot tourism."

"It's a good consideration. How long do you plan to be on business trip?" Yang Dongxu nodded, and he quite agreed with Li Fuzhen's idea.

Now the guests staying in the hotel can be roughly divided into two types, one is tourism and the other is business trip. As for some families visiting relatives and temporary stays, the audience is very small. Focusing on tourism and giving up business trips is undoubtedly cutting off one arm. Only by walking on both legs can we be stable.

"Starting next week, isn't it April? I plan to use the first half of the year or the remaining two months to visit several target cities.

Hangzhou Xinghai is also raising funds during this period. If the goal of the branch is confirmed in the second half of the year, we will start construction and strive to open for business as soon as possible."

"Tell me if you have financial pressure." Yang Dongxu nodded and said.

"Why, do you still want me to work for you?" Li Fuzhen glanced at him with a smile.

"It's a business that is sure to make money. Wouldn't it be stupid not to invest? How about this, I will provide half of the funds, you will give me one-third of the shares, and you can give me dividends at the end of the year. I don't care about the usual management."

"Why do you want to support me?"

"If you think so, it's okay." Yang Dongxu looked at her with lustful eyes.

Click!

Li Fuzhen stretched out her chopsticks and knocked on Yang Dongxu's head, "You wish. You are not allowed to attract bees and butterflies during my absence, especially your classmate."

"Don't be so sensitive now, okay?"

"Why, do you find me annoying now?" Li Fuzhen looked at Yang Dongxu sideways.

"How can that be? I mean, how can a chaste woman like me be seduced by a young girl so easily? Don't worry, I'm 100% loyal to you." Yang Dongxu raised his hands in surrender. It was obvious that he had a brain problem to argue with a woman about such an issue.

"Do what you say." Li Fuzhen hummed, and was obviously very satisfied with Yang Dongxu's attitude.

Before Li Fuzhen left on a business trip, Wu Aibing and Ye Rongrong came to Hangzhou on a business trip and stayed directly in Xinghai Hotel.

Wu Aibing is still in the position of supervisor, wandering between the major companies under Yang Dongxu. Although he does not work in a company for a long time each year, he is very deterrent and his position is second only to the big boss Yang Dongxu.

Ye Rongrong obviously needs no introduction. She is the current executive director of Dongxu Technology and one of the famous female entrepreneurs in SZ City. She has even been on the national young entrepreneur list for several consecutive years and is a famous strong woman in the business circle.

There is nothing big about these two couples coming to Yang Dongxu together. Wu Aibing came to him because the supervision work of the new year was about to start, and he wanted to discuss the staffing arrangements with him. Ye Rongrong came to him because of the business of Dongxu Technology.

Although the game was separated from Dongxu Technology, Dongxu Technology still holds three major business sectors. One is naturally computer hardware and various electronic products, the second is the mobile phone research and development that Lei Jun is responsible for, and the third is naturally the commercial software business, which includes server architecture and construction.

For example, the management software currently used for teaching, the popular Internet cafe management system that has been continuously launched in recent years, and the servers used by the newly established Sunrise Company games are all products of Dongxu Technology.

So unknowingly, Dongxu Technology, from an industry that produces home appliances, has slowly begun to transform into an IT giant. It not only produces computers, but also constantly supplements its shortcomings in software.

Ye Rongrong came to Yang Dongxu this time mainly to talk about online payment, because it needs to be connected with the two ports of games and banks in advance, especially the system grafting and compatibility on the bank side is undoubtedly a problem. After all, the bank's security system has been developing with the construction in recent years, but it is still relatively conservative.

"Tomorrow I will introduce you to the person in charge of Minsheng Bank. You can talk to him first. If possible, we can not only talk about the integration of Alipay and the bank system. We can also talk about the bank's current management system upgrade, which is a big cake." The three of them ate together. Li Fuzhen came over to say hello but did not sit down to eat with them.

"I have contacted with this aspect before, but the major banks seem to be reluctant to talk." Ye Rongrong said.
