On the day after the meeting, before Li Jin had time to officially announce the establishment of the new company, the actions on Souhu's side began.
Souhu officially announced the establishment of Souhu Payment Company, and has reached a strategic cooperation agreement with three companies including Wangyi Wanmei World Shengda.
At the same time, three companies, Wangyi Wanmei World and St. Petersburg University, announced the news at the same time.
It also stated that the online game businesses of the three companies will be connected to the online payment system at the same time, and all players can use the online banking system to make point and card purchases through the Internet.
From the perspective of the outside world, this is just a normal market follow-up by the three game companies after they saw the hot profits brought by the New Wolf Legend selling point cards through online payment.
But few people can see through the undercurrent of capital behind this simple message.
This is a battle between the two industries.
The first is Souhu Pay’s provocation against the payment platform currently owned by Li Jin. It is also a revolt against New Wolf by other domestic online game companies since the popularity of Legend.
Here, I have to say that due to the butterfly effect, after Li Jin took away Legend in advance, St. Petersburg University actually obtained the agency rights for a popular online game developed by Bangzi Kingdom.
"Miracle"
This online game was once popular in China. In its previous life, Bangzi Kingdom saw the popularity of Legend and developed it in order to fight against Legend.
But now, due to the early popularity of Legend, it was also released ahead of schedule, and is still enthusiastically sought after by a large number of players.
Not only did "Miracle" appear in advance.
Play the masterpiece "Perfect World" in the world of beauty.
It even has an incomparable longevity, which can be said to be one of the miracles that global online games can rival World of Warcraft. "Fantasy Westward Journey" was released ahead of schedule.
The emergence of Li Jin allowed many famous online game brands of later generations to be born in advance. However, none of these premature children could compete with the legendary domestic online games at their peak.
"Mr. Li, although Legend's online and revenue data have declined, according to current market analysis, we still occupy more than 60% of the entire domestic online game market."
During the video conference, Tang Jun, who was in charge of all New Wolf work, reported to Li Jin.
Li Jin nodded, not surprised by this data.
In the previous life, the decline of Legend was partly due to Shengda’s frenzied methods of amassing money, which led to the explosive expansion of game data.
A treasure hunting PK game was abruptly turned into a krypton gold online game. The business philosophy of money is your father has greatly accelerated the end of the game's life.
However, this was also a helpless move by St. Petersburg University. At that time, St. Petersburg University was faced with the leakage of source code of foreign servers, which led to the proliferation of domestic private servers and the cost of rights protection was too high.
On the other hand, the heroes of other online games have emerged, and the game Legend has indeed reached the end of its version life, so we have to accelerate the squeeze of the last bit of blood from Legend.
But now, with Li Jin's early precautions, the ownership of the entire legend has been taken over. The subsequent development agents are all decided by New Wolf himself, and there is no farce of source code leakage.
"In terms of version content production, you have to speed up the progress. Among the three games, "Miracle", "Wanmei World" and "Fantasy Westward Journey", "Fantasy Westward Journey" is the most competitive."
"But that is a 2D turn-based game, which does not coincide with our target players. You should pay attention to the other two games, especially "Miracle"."
"Also, I heard that cheats have appeared in the world now, right?"
The so-called plug-ins are software written by some programming experts who use code to invade the game client. In online games, the most feared thing is private servers, followed by plug-ins.
Among them, plug-ins are more harmful than private servers.
After all, not everyone has the courage to risk being jailed by a game company to steal source code.
But for plug-ins, anyone who knows a little bit about technology has the ability to write them.
Hearing Li Jin's question, Tang Jun looked a little embarrassed. He said: "We have indeed collected some relevant feedback and reports, and now they have been handed over to the technical department for urgent repairs."
"You can only be a thief for one day, but you can't prevent a thief for a thousand days. Contact the legal department. If you find any cheats, you will have my accounts blocked for all cheats, and all those who wrote cheats will be sued. What do you want me to say about such a trivial matter?" Li
Jin said dissatisfied.
Tang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Li, you don't know something. The cost of writing plug-ins is very low, but the cost of our rights protection is too high."
"First of all, we can only use technical means to block the accounts of players who use cheats, but we do not have the right to track the real addresses of cheat authors. We must first call the police and let the authorities investigate. But these things, Mr. Li, you know, are not easy.
.”
"I am confident that I can do this well."
In the video screen, a voice suddenly came from Tang Jun's side.
Then the camera turned around, and Li Jin saw a familiar person appear on the screen.
Wang Dadong.
The former chairman of New Wolf and the real founder of New Wolf.
In the equity struggle with Li Jin, Wang Dadong, who completely failed, initially faced the choice given by Li Jin and stayed within New Wolf.
I have to say that this required a lot of courage, but Wang Dadong persisted despite the strange vision of the entire company.
At first, Li Jin was worried about whether he had any conspiracy, and ordered Tang Jun to observe him closely.
But it turns out that Wang Dadong is really determined to make the new wolf a good one, even if this new wolf is no longer the new wolf he created.
All along, Wang Dadong has been working conscientiously, without any contact with his former confidants, and has done his job clearly.
You must know that Wang Dadong can single-handedly create New Wolf and make New Wolf the number one portal in the country. He must have his ability.
He may not be an excellent chairman, but he is indeed a very good executive.
In the picture, Wang Dadong has a trace of anxiety hidden under his serious expression, looking closely at Li Jin with some longing in his eyes.
"king……"
Li Jin didn't know how to address Wang Dadong.
Because he hasn't paid attention to Wang Dadong for a long time. After all, the gap between them is already too big.
"I am now the manager responsible for the maintenance of the portal forum." Wang Dadong smiled bitterly and said calmly.
"Manager Wang." Li Jin nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "This is a thankless job that may cost a lot of effort but yield nothing. Are you really willing to do it?"
Wang Dadong said seriously: "If you are willing, please give me a chance, Mr. Li."
After a moment of silence, Li Jin said: "After the previous equity dilution, you still have a small portion of the original shares. According to the current stock price of New Wolf, I can give you special approval to cash out all of it."
Li Jin's words mean that Wang Dadong can become a billionaire at any time.
Wang Dadong said calmly: "Money is no longer the most important thing to me."
Nodding, Li Jin said: "Okay, then I'll leave this job to you. I always treat capable people equally. As long as you do a good job, you will get all options and bonuses."
