Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 210: Only Pigs Fly to the Sky
In Yangcheng, in Huang Haoze's private club, Zhou Dongsheng and three others gathered together again.
“Wow, I didn’t expect the live streaming industry to be so crazy nowadays. The contract value of a single anchor is over 100 million.” Huang Haoze exclaimed in amazement.
The surprising thing is certainly not the price, but the growth rate. After all, less than a year ago, even the valuation of Little People Media was only this figure.
Now, the contract of an anchor signed by Xiaorenwu Media has been sold at this price, which is enough to prove the rapid growth rate of the live broadcast industry.
This is the bonus period unique to emerging industries. Otherwise, profit-seeking capital would not have rushed into this industry like sharks smelling blood.
Just like the market price of a stock, a small stock with a market price of tens of millions can have a very small impact even if it continues to rise to the daily limit. It is just like a small wave in the stock market.
However, for a market leader like CRRC, whose market capitalization exceeds hundreds of billions, its market capitalization has exceeded one trillion after several consecutive daily limit increases. Although its market capitalization has also doubled, the gap between the two is like a chasm.
The entire live streaming industry sector is now just like the CRRC Corporation Limited, which was once the focus of capital. It is expanding rapidly with the influx of capital, and the market size is constantly increasing.
"This is just the beginning. The live streaming industry will be even crazier in the future. I have to say that Dongsheng's investment vision has been demonstrated from the very beginning." Principal Wang said meaningfully.
"Indeed, this Little People Media is the starting point of Dongsheng. Thinking back to when I pretended to embarrass them in the bar, I really didn't recognize their great talent. Brother Sheng, please be magnanimous and forgive me."
Huang Haoze sighed for a moment, and then started joking as usual. What was a minor conflict at the beginning has now become a funny thing when they talk about it in a cheerful and cheerful manner.
It's a little emotional that things have changed in just one year. Zhou Dongsheng also joked with a smile: "Okay, okay, follow Brother Sheng, then you will definitely make a lot of money. I'll eat the meat and you drink the soup, okay?"
"You're giving me too much face. I'll just gnaw on the bone." Huang Haoze patted his chest, looking very proud.
The other two people couldn't help but smile and shake their heads, but Huang Haoze is just such a cynical person, and everyone is used to it. If he didn't make such jokes, everyone would not be used to it.
If one day he starts to act seriously, then something really big will happen.
“However, when I started Xiaorenwu Media, I was optimistic about the prospects of the live streaming industry. But I didn’t expect it to be so good. I signed a few e-sports players just because I like playing games myself. I can only say that people still need a bit of luck.” Zhou Dongsheng said casually.
"That person's life is definitely inseparable from luck. Luck will bring opportunities to you, but if you don't have the ability to seize them, luck is useless."
"In every era, there are countless people standing at the forefront of the times, but only the ones they ." Principal Wang said calmly.
"As expected of you who studied philosophy, your level of speaking is really different. An uneducated person like me can only say one thing: awesome!" Zhou Dongsheng laughed and said self-deprecatingly.
"That's what being awesome does. It sounds so straightforward. It uses the simplest language to express the richest emotions. Let's do it and be awesome together." Chen Yuhang raised his glass with a smile.
Three wine glasses and a cup of Coke collided together, and the scene was extremely harmonious, as natural as a husky mixing into a wolf pack.
"Didn't I go to Korea to discuss an investment? I didn't make it, but there is some progress. What do you think, are you guys interested?"
Zhou Dongsheng changed the subject and started talking about investment, and naturally what he wanted to talk about was "PlayerUnknown 's Battlegrounds".
Compared to the big cake of Pinxixi, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can only be regarded as a small dessert, suitable for sharing together.
Especially the popularity of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", which involves too many factors, and may even be affected by domestic policies in the future. By then, we may be able to borrow everyone's connections.
By the way, adding a weight to everyone's common interests can make this boat of friendship a little stronger.
"Of course I'm interested. I have unconditional trust in your investment in Dongsheng. Just give me the account and I will transfer the money with my eyes closed." Huang Haoze became more interested and joked as usual.
"If you say so, then I'll have to set up a pig-killing scheme. It will be enough to make money just by killing you." Zhou Dongsheng threatened.
"Is it the game you mentioned before? Tell me what's the idea behind it." Principal Wang was also very interested. He still had a say in this area of games.
"The idea is very simple. The battle royale mode in H1Z1 is just like the Dota map in Warcraft. In my opinion, both have the potential to become a popular game genre."
"According to my understanding, the internal staff of H1Z1 does not attach much importance to the now popular battle royale mode, and Brandon Green, the producer of the battle royale mode, is also unhappy with his time there."
"My subordinates have approached us and are interested in going it alone. All we need is for us to invest in a gaming company and let Brandon Green lead the way and create a battle royale game."
"Just like League of Legends was born out of Dota, our game will also be born out of H1Z1. I am very confident that this project will also be better than the original."
Zhou Dongsheng had clear ideas and spoke eloquently. He then briefly talked about the game mode of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. As a veteran player of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, he was very familiar with this.
On a huge map, 100 players randomly parachute in, collect supplies, and duel in a poisonous circle...
It has to be said that the concept of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has a heart-pounding and fresh sense of excitement for any player who has just come into contact with this game.
Especially as the final round becomes more and more urgent, the final winner needs to combine various factors such as strength and luck. Luck is also one of the elements that players are fascinated by.
After all, reality cannot be quantified, but game data can.
"I have to admit that for a gamer like me, this game does sound very playable. After all, I have played "H1Z1", but the development difficulty is not small."
"A large-scale, highly free map also needs to be supported by an excellent physics engine and a good operating system. This requires the skills of R&D personnel. One person alone is not enough. An excellent team is needed."
Principal Wang briefly dismantled the idea, as if pouring cold water on it, but at the end he changed the subject, "But I am interested in this project, count me in as one of the investors."
"Good man, you said so much just to persuade us competitors to retreat. Count me in, don't try to get rid of me, I'm here to gnaw on your bones!" Huang Haoze said quickly with an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"When it comes to investment, what matters is the person rather than the project. Dongsheng himself is worth investing in, and I will definitely not miss it." Chen Yuhang also gave a reason that could not be refused.
"It will be easy now that everyone agrees. After all, we need to use the money from Yaofeng Technology, and everyone has a share of it. If we add a little more, it will be enough to set up the company framework first."
Zhou Dongsheng spoke clearly.
"Then when will it be realized? After all, Yaofeng Technology is still rising." Principal Wang asked casually.
"Of course the sooner the better. When investing, you can't just do it with the idea of making the last penny."
After cashing in the contract of the Curly Baboon, Zhou Dongsheng did learn something. At least the idea of cashing out is to act decisively and exit the market quickly and accurately to make a profit, only then can a successful investment be made.
Although the profits on paper look good, sometimes they are like bubbles in the mirror and there is a risk of them bursting if you are not careful.
