Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 265 Live Five Wonders
After enjoying a sumptuous dinner in the pig factory cafeteria, Zhou Dongsheng and his party decided to return home, ending their brief meeting with Ding Sanshi, the top boss.
Not only did the purpose of this trip achieve, but the gains also far exceeded expectations. After all, Zhou Dongsheng was even prepared to cede 25% of his shares in exchange for this huge support from the pig farm.
After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice. If you want to make "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" reproduce the glory of its predecessor, or even surpass its predecessor, it naturally requires some thought and effort.
After all, the formula variables have been changed, so we can only seek better . And in the domestic game sector, apart from Tenda, there is only QQ Group.
Apart from being a "fellow villager" with the CEO of Tengda, Zhou Dongsheng has no other connection with them. Even if he wants to become related, he has no way to do so.
Fortunately, the pig farm was not bad, and Ding Sanshi was unexpectedly tolerant, as if he was not negotiating business, but simply choosing to lend a helping hand.
Compared to a simple exchange of interests, this kind of favor is the most difficult to repay. After all, the value of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", a game that is still in its infancy, is simply impossible to estimate.
If he could recreate the peak of his previous life, then the valuation of 10% of the shares would not be excessive at 1 billion, and that would be US dollars. But at the moment, these shares are really not worth much.
Using "worthless" shares in exchange for technical support from the gaming giant Zhuchang, this deal is a profitable one no matter how you look at it, while Zhuchang is in a "thankless situation".
Therefore, this favor must have been owed, but Zhou Dongsheng did not have any psychological burden about it.
It's impossible that I'm at a disadvantage in this matter of having personal connections with a successful billionaire like Ding Sanshi, a top boss? No way?
The group returned to the car. Zhou Dongsheng was in a good mood sitting in the back seat. He asked casually , "My dear old friend, with the technical support of the pig factory, can the progress be faster?"
Li Jiana is responsible for driving, translating, and maybe even warming the bed at night. This general assistant is indeed Zhou Dongsheng's right-hand man.
"Oh, my boss, of course. QQ Group is a world-renowned gaming company. With their technical support, I am full of confidence in the development of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. I can't wait to go back and work overtime!" Brandon Green said with a beaming face.
As an Irish man in his forties, he still reveals a pure passion when talking about game making.
Perhaps it was this passion that supported Brandon Green to produce four battle royale games in a row, and it was the reason why he went from an unknown game maker to a successful one.
After all, what you love is your life (funny)!
"Oh my old friend, then you have to be prepared. We are very hardworking..." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
The technical team from a big Internet company, if they were to roll up, I'm afraid that even an old Irish man like Brandon Green would be unable to bear it, right?
"Then you underestimate me, my boss. Even though I'm over 30 years old, I'm a well-known overtime maniac. I work out every week just to have a better physique so that I can devote myself to work!" Brandon Green vowed.
Zhou Dongsheng shook his head and smiled without saying anything. It was obvious that Brandon Green knew nothing about real overtime work. How could he be called an overtime maniac even if he had time to work out?
You are such a naive person!
…
After Zhou Dongsheng and others left, Wang Yi followed Ding Sanshi back to the office. There were still some issues he needed to ask further questions about so that he would have a clear idea in his mind.
"Mr. Ding, how much technical support should we provide for this project?" Wang Yi asked.
Ding Sanshi pondered for a moment and said, "Let Leihuo take charge. Give them as many technical resources as possible without delaying other projects."
"Give young people more opportunities. Maybe they will create some unexpected surprises for us and also bring us considerable gains." Ding Sanshi sighed casually.
"I understand, Mr. Ding. I'll get busy first." Wang Yi nodded in agreement, and then went straight to arrange the work.
Although it was already night, the pig factory building was still brightly lit, which is also the norm for Internet companies.
Ding Sanshi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with an unobstructed view of the night view of Guangzhou's most prosperous area. Compared with the prosperous scenery outside the window, the pig factory headquarters building seemed a little ordinary.
Yangcheng is the place where the pig factory started, and this headquarters building has been in use for the longest time. Compared with the newly built headquarters in Hangzhou, it is naturally a little backward.
However, Ding Sanshi's visit to Guangzhou this time was naturally not made specifically for Zhou Dongsheng. No matter how much Zhou Dongsheng admired this young man, he did not have such a big face.
Ding Sanshi’s main purpose, of course, is to build another headquarters building in Yangcheng, and this time, it has to be well-known.
After all, the headquarters building next door has already started construction, so I can’t fall behind. Pengcheng Marco next door has been showing off a lot for this, so I have to win back a game, otherwise how can I have the face to organize a dinner in Wuzhen at the end of the year...
…
The stock market fluctuated around 3,000 points in July, and the live streaming world has been experiencing wave after wave of ups and downs since Principal Wang and the Panda platform came into being.
Several major live broadcast platforms are competing openly and secretly, and various poaching attempts against other platforms' leading anchors are emerging one after another. In addition, several major platforms except the Shark Platform seem to have formed a tacit understanding to make the Shark Platform the main target of poaching.
Back then, didn't the Shark platform start by poaching the veterans of Tiger Tooth's predecessor? Therefore, this wave, this wave is called reaping the fruits of one's own actions.
After Principal Wang left office, this trend grew even stronger with the help of capital, and it poached Dazhi from Shark and Saozhu from Tiger Tooth one after another, becoming the talk of the town.
Naturally, other platforms are not willing to lag behind. If the top ones are too expensive, then they can buy the next level ones. If they can’t afford the expensive ones, can’t they buy something cheaper?
After all, Principal Wang is wealthy and powerful, and with the crazy scramble for shares, other platforms have to follow suit in order to stabilize their own basic traffic base.
With the scramble among major platforms, the value of game anchors of all types is rising steadily and skyrocketing.
The live streaming world has gradually formed a delicate situation in which the five live streaming masters, namely the Shark in the East, the Tiger Tooth in the South, the Dragon Pig in the West, the War Rider in the North, and Panda in the Center, check and balance each other.
However, Principal Wang's high-profile move also attracted more capital to the fast-growing live streaming industry, especially as the stock market plummeted, and a large amount of hot money fled the stock market and had nowhere to go.
Although most of the hot money has chosen to flow into the huge large-cap stocks of real estate, there are still a lot of funds that choose to spread to various industries, looking for some small-cap stocks to occupy, and maybe with luck they can create a monster stock.
The influence extends from the stock market to all walks of life, which has a bit of the meaning of "when a whale falls, all things come to life".
With the support of capital, a large number of live broadcast platforms began to be built, ready to disrupt the live broadcast world and overthrow the five wonders of live broadcasting. In order to make their own platforms a hit, all kinds of tricks were used.
Even Dazhi, a heavyweight anchor whose contract was blocked by sharks and who has already been confirmed to join the Panda platform, has capital smelling the scent and coming to him.
