Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 203 Formula Variation
In Zhou Dongsheng's original thinking, he only knew that "the father of battle royale" Brandon Green + Bluehole Studio = "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
Given that you only know the formula, of course you can only get the desired result by restoring the formula as much as possible. There is no need to make a fuss unless it is necessary.
Especially when you can sit back and reap the fruits of your labor, even if you invest in the current Bluehole Studio with a valuation of US$500 million, this business will still be a very profitable choice when PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds becomes popular all over the world in the future.
But now things are going against one's wishes. Since Bluehole Studios is unwilling to accept the investment, Zhou Dongsheng, like a butterfly, naturally doesn't mind flapping his wings and changing his original trajectory.
Although it is unknown whether the "Father of Battle Royale" Brandon Green+ can still be equal to the original "PUBG", this is obviously an unknown.
But as long as Brandon Green can be won over, there will be at least some minimum guarantee. As for the final result, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, this is not the first time that Zhou Dongsheng has changed the original track.
Since Bluehole Studios is not grateful, it is even more impossible for Zhou Dongsheng to return the opportunity that originally belonged to Brandon Green to Bluehole intact.
After all, how can I give away the money that I can't earn to others? Even if I ruin the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", so what? I can't get it anyway, and you can't expect to make a comeback with it.
Zhou Dongsheng's vision is not broad enough to regret that the gaming industry may lose a phenomenal game. He only regrets that he cannot earn the money from it.
The rise and fall of an industry is something that the big guys worry about, but for the little guys, it’s more practical to worry about the little capital in their own pockets.
All Zhou Dongsheng did was to transform the limited opportunities in his memory into bargaining chips in his hands. After all, the information Zhou Dongsheng could grasp was really limited, and one less would be better.
However, Brandon Green has just released the game "H1z1" in his original company, and it has become unprecedentedly popular, bringing the battle royale game mode into the eyes of the general public.
Brandon Green should be in a very proud period at this moment, and perhaps he has not thought about changing jobs or starting a new business, but this is not important. It is good enough to know that he will have this idea in the future.
Let Lu Sifang find a way to get in touch and establish a good relationship first, and then provide funds and platforms when needed. Zhou Dongsheng can even show off his "advanced understanding" of the battle royale game.
Just like convincing Huang Zheng, convincing Brandon Green wouldn't be a piece of cake, right?
However, persuading Brandon Green is more difficult than persuading Huang Zheng, and Zhou Dongsheng must rely on other talents to overcome it.
That is naturally the ability of language expression. Due to the language barrier, Zhou Dongsheng's ability to deceive has been greatly weakened. He can only act according to circumstances.
But it is worth mentioning that if you want to establish cooperation with Brandon Green and jointly develop the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the most important thing is to acquire a game studio.
A wonderful idea suddenly emerged in Zhou Dongsheng's mind. If this phenomenal game that has swept the world was created by his own people, would it still be blocked by various policy issues?
This wonderful idea that popped up made Zhou Dongsheng particularly excited, and he couldn't wait to verify it. If it was really accomplished, wouldn't it prove that it wasn't the overall environment that was bad, but some people's problems?
In fact, there is indeed a company in China that has achieved this, and now this company is just a new and emerging game studio.
The one we are talking about is naturally MihaYo, but the games developed by this company are two-dimensional mobile games, which are far from the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", so there is no need to force the two to be combined together.
It might turn out to be a product that is neither fish nor fowl. As for this investment, it is better not to put all of it in one basket.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng continued to instruct Lu Sifang, "In addition to this matter, you can also pay attention to whether there are any game studios with good R&D capabilities in China. If there are really no such studios, overseas ones will also be fine."
Upon hearing this, Lu Sifang knew that this time the boss wanted to make a serious investment in the gaming industry, rather than investing in a "unfocused" gaming company that was doing e-commerce as he had done before.
In order to complete an investment, one always has to do a lot of preparatory work. Lu Sifang, who has decided that three times is the limit, has made up his mind that this time he will use all his energy and do his best to complete the project.
Otherwise, I would be really sorry for my boss's repeated appreciation of me!
As time passed, the sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the lights in Seoul lit up, showing the night view of a bustling city.
Unlike Lu Sifang who returned with failure, Principal Wang was in high spirits and smiling when he reappeared, especially with a charming woman by his side.
The devilish figure and angelic face, the charm that emerges from the combination of contradictions increases exponentially. Even in this country with countless artificial beauties, this is still one of the most exquisite works of art.
Zhou Dongsheng, who is well-informed in the live broadcast industry, naturally knows this person. In fact, after Principal Wang told him the purpose of this trip, Zhou Dongsheng had already guessed that it would be her.
Yoon So-wan is a queen-level figure in the live broadcasting industry in Goryeo, and is also the well-deserved "No. 1 live broadcast host" in Goryeo. With her unique beauty and sexy and hot dance, she has many loyal fans overseas. Many people call her "Goryeo's No. 1 beautiful anchor", which shows how famous she is.
After all, beauty knows no national boundaries. No, it should be said that the pursuit and appreciation of beauty transcends national boundaries and races.
By signing the pillar-level " Panda Queen", Wang Xuelong's Panda platform became very popular in its early days and laid a solid foundation for its popularity.
Zhou Dongsheng recalled for a moment, then said with a smile: "It seems that Principal Wang's business negotiation went smoothly? He brought the people back."
"As long as the price is right, there is no deal that cannot be made. What I brought back is not what you think. I am just treating them to a meal." Principal Wang said seriously, which was rare for him.
"Oh~ It's just a meal. How can we enjoy the meal together if we don't speak the same language? It's impossible to bring a translator." Zhou Dongsheng teased playfully.
"Hey, do you think I am you? After all, I am a man who is proficient in eight languages, so simple communication should not be a problem." Principal Wang said with a little pride.
Zhou Dongsheng finally realized that the identity of the prince of Yida was so brilliant that it was easy for people to overlook the ability of Principal Wang himself.
After all, those born into a famous family have a high starting point, which is mainly reflected in the resource irrigation and training from childhood to adulthood, which invisibly creates a huge gap between them and ordinary people, not to mention other things.
“But to be honest, if they were all interjections, with my Korean level, I would be able to communicate simply.” Zhou Dongsheng said seriously.
After a little reaction, Principal Wang couldn't help but scolded with a smile: "Get lost, you are a guy with a head full of dirty thoughts."
