Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 694 Future Trends
You know what, once this idea came up, it was unstoppable.
Although Zhuchang Games is a large company with the technology and capabilities to advance multiple projects simultaneously, it is still faced with such a huge gold mine in the gaming industry.
Even if you have three heads and six arms, no one company can dominate the mountain. The same is true even in the category of battle royale games.
At the same time, precisely because Zhuchang Games is a large company with a large business, it also shows that it has a large number of projects on hand. Not only do they need the game team to maintain them, but there must also be projects being promoted on the development side.
Even if Zhuchang Game wants to have it all, it is middle-aged now, and even if it has the will, it does not have the strength. The same principle applies to Zhuchang Game.
Whether it is a mobile game or a PC game, according to Zhou Dongsheng's vague memory, in the next few years, Zhuchang Games will not only have Onmyoji, a phenomenal mobile game.
For major game companies, in order to maintain their own status, they have already formed a mature internal circulation system, and their investment in the continuous development of new works has always been continuous.
If we choose to rest on the laurels of our past glory and stop moving forward, our ultimate fate will inevitably be to be left behind by the never-ending pace of the times.
Although the objective laws of history tell us that the succession of times is an inevitable law, just as people are born, grow old, get sick and die, no one can stay at the top forever.
Although the length cannot be extended, there is always room for improvement in breadth. This may be the meaning of life.
Although he has already cooperated with the pig factory, it does not mean that Zhou Dongsheng is completely tied to this ship, although there is a certain gap in the size of the two parties.
But at least from the beginning to the end, Zhou Dongsheng maintained an equal , and the pig farm also benefited greatly from it.
As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. If there were no solid interest relationship as a bond, Zhou Dongsheng would not be able to sit here and chat and laugh with Ding Sanshi.
After all, so-called recognition or admiration is also a limited resource. If you fail to seize the opportunity to create more benefits, it will naturally be easily consumed.
Zhou Dongsheng is naturally well aware of this, and the real foundation for him to gain a firm foothold is the capital that is firmly in his own hands.
The original intention of cooperation, in addition to mutual benefit, is also to utilize the resources in the hands of others to further expand the capital in one's own hands.
Adhering to this original intention, cooperating with Tencent is undoubtedly one of the options to maximize benefits. After all, Zhou Dongsheng has dealt with Tengda several times.
Moreover, the two parties have become a community of interests on the Pinxixi and Mobike projects. If they take this as an opportunity to further cooperate, they will at least have enough say.
At present, the battle royale game market is still a blue ocean. Just relying on the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and the QQ Games is not enough to completely digest it.
It is better to give Tencent a bargain than to give it to outsiders, after all, the benefits should be kept in the family.
Zhou Dongsheng was thinking about something in his heart, and Ding Sanshi in front of him naturally knew nothing about it. If he knew that Zhou Dongsheng in front of him had already started to think about being a "traitor"...
I don’t know what Ding Sanshi would think, but perhaps it was Zhou Dongsheng’s spirit of “dedication” that touched Ding Sanshi a little.
In particular, the idea of a Chinese martial arts-style battle royale really won the heart of Ding Sanshi.
The reason why Zhuchang Games has been deeply engaged in this style for many years may be influenced by the personal preferences of Ding Sanshi, the helmsman.
Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity today, Ding Sanshi also shared some of his experiences as a veteran.
"Now that you have chosen to stand in the public opinion arena and show your face, when the two major lists are released, they will inevitably push your personal reputation to a new height."
"After all, a young man who started from scratch has accumulated a fortune of no less than 10 billion in just two years. Such an inspiring and positive image, and full of topics, no matter the media or the general public, will refuse such a good topic..."
"At that time, in addition , it also means that some of your actions and behaviors will be magnified under the spotlight..."
"You should know that when you reach a high enough level, your words and actions sometimes represent more than just yourself!"
Ding Sanshi said earnestly.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but be shocked by Ding Sanshi's sudden heartfelt words. He came back to his senses and took a serious attitude.
Although most young people don't take the experiences of so-called veterans to heart, even if they listen to them, they just go in one ear and out the other.
Only after you have hit yourself with many bumps and suffered a lot in society, do you realize that the experience of those who have been there is not all preaching, but there are still some valuable points that can help you avoid detours.
Just as we only regret not having read enough books when we need them, by the time we realize this, it is usually too late.
However, although Zhou Dongsheng is "young and energetic" now, he has also experienced the beatings of society and can barely be considered a half-experienced person.
Although he has achieved hundreds of millions of achievements, he has not been blinded. Zhou Dongsheng still fully understands the principle of "listen to advice and have a full stomach".
"Thank you, Brother Ding, but when I chose to stand in front of the stage and become a public figure, I already had this ideological awareness..." Zhou Dongsheng said with a serious face.
Ding Sanshi saw that Zhou Dongsheng was serious, as if he had listened carefully rather than just doing it perfunctorily, and he couldn't help but look satisfied.
If Zhou Dongsheng was really too young and hot-headed to listen, Ding Sanshi would not force him. After all, who doesn't make mistakes when they are young?
It won’t be too late to talk about it when you really hit a wall or fall, but since Zhou Dongsheng is willing to listen, Ding Sanshi doesn’t mind talking a little more.
"Having this kind of ideological awareness is certainly a good thing, but in the field of public opinion, disclosing the huge amount of assets you own is sometimes not necessarily a good thing, and it is easy to become a target of public criticism..."
Ding Sanshi said with a hint of emotion. After all, he was once the richest man in China, so his heartfelt words still had some value.
When wealth accumulates to a certain level, it sometimes comes with a responsibility, a social responsibility that one has to bear.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but be shocked. He was naturally familiar with the principles that Ding Sanshi said. Not to mention the distant past, when the first advertisement of [Papi Jiang] was auctioned for a sky-high price of tens of millions...
As a representative first person to eat crabs in the emerging internet celebrity economy, he or she can certainly taste the sweetness of crabs, but at the same time he or she also bears the risk of being scratched by crabs.
In the end, it was thanks to Zhou Dongsheng's quick thinking and a desperate move that saved the day and made Papi Jiang recognized by the official media.
Becoming a positive representative among the emerging Internet celebrities has increased Papi Jiang's influence and taken her to a higher level.
If not handled properly, internet celebrities' ability to resist risks in the public opinion field is far less mature than that of celebrities. There are still obvious red lines in the entertainment industry as reminders.
However, the internet celebrity industry has just begun to show signs of rising, and both the top names and newcomers are in a state of crossing the river blindly, and have to rely entirely on groping.
As for the bottom line and scale, apart from clear social consensus, the rest depends on people speaking out in person so that others can cross the river by feeling their dead bodies.
This point undoubtedly applies equally to both the live streaming industry and the short video industry.
With the example of Papi Jiang, Zhou Dongsheng naturally has a clearer understanding of the problems he faces.
"I understand this. The internet celebrities under Yi Nian Media have encountered similar problems before. It was with the inspiration of Brother Ding and Mr. Duan that I was able to turn danger into safety..."
Zhou Dongsheng thought about it and said sincerely.
"Although I have only been successful for a short time, I have never forgotten to give back to society. I have also made a small contribution in charity and donating to Hope Primary Schools..."
Hearing this, Ding Sanshi smiled and shook his head, "Things are different now. The higher you go, the greater your responsibility!"
Zhou Dongsheng almost lost his temper when he said this, but although he had no intention of becoming a superhero, this principle is indeed universal.
After hearing what Ding Sanshi said, it was time to pick up the ideas that Zhou Dongsheng had put on hold and start planning again.
After all, the key to this matter is persistence. You have to persevere and implement it step by step in a down-to-earth manner without rushing into things, and there may not be any rewards in the short term.
But it truly conforms to the needs of the trend of the times. Once it is fully realized, anyone involved will benefit greatly.
You can even use it to create a golden body. As long as you don't do anything stupid, you can ensure that you are invincible!
And being in China, the so-called trend of the times, to a certain extent, naturally also represents the national policy!
The general trend in the next few years will naturally be closely related to the cause of poverty alleviation. This cause is not just limited to charity...
Thinking of this, a vague idea suddenly emerged in Zhou Dongsheng's heart. Judging from the resources in his hands, he had the opportunity to fully adapt to the trend of the times and go with the flow!
With this idea in mind, there happened to be an experienced boss right in front of me. Isn't this the right time to ask for advice?
Zhou Dongsheng followed up the conversation and briefly explained his ideas in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. Ding Sanshi's eyes couldn't help but sparkle and he revealed an expression of amazement.
I even clapped my hands and sighed, "You are so promising! I didn't expect that you could draw inferences from my sudden inspiration. You are a teachable young man!"
"Just do it according to your ideas. Don't worry and do it boldly. This direction must be correct. If you need anything, just speak up!" Ding Sanshi waved his hand generously and said heroically.
Zhou Dongsheng smiled shyly, "Isn't this all thanks to Brother Ding's good teaching? If it weren't for Brother Ding's guidance, I wouldn't have thought of this..."
This round of flattery was obviously effective, and a chrysanthemum-like smile immediately blossomed on Ding Sanshi's round face.
The principle of a fancy sedan being carried by people highlights its timelessness and never goes out of style!
"Stay for dinner today, and I'll arrange a dinner for you and introduce you to some old friends!"
As the conversation got more lively, Ding Sanshi, who was also a man of strong character, was ready to get down to business as well.
After all, this was the main purpose of Zhou Dongsheng's coming here today. However, once he started talking, the conversation got out of control for a while.
After such a long conversation, Zhou Dongsheng really benefited a lot. Naturally, he gladly accepted the dinner invitation.
"It's up to Brother Ding to arrange it. I'll do whatever you say!" Zhou Dongsheng agreed readily. The old and the young smiled at each other, and there was really a sense of friendship between them regardless of age.
At night, the garden mansion is brightly lit, and the pavilions, towers, ponds and bridges are even more charming in the night.
And at the invitation of the host, the mansion is packed with guests tonight and is extremely lively.
Although all the guests were plain-looking, some had big bellies, some had hairstyles that required local support from the central government, and their clothes were equally ordinary, a casual polo suit showed off the charm of a middle-aged man.
However, all of the guests who were invited by Ding Sanshi are the bosses of some well-known investment institutions. The combined capital in their hands is enough to make them rich enough to rival a country.
It is even worse than some small countries.
In this situation, Zhou Dongsheng inexplicably thought of an old saying.
"There are great scholars among whom we talk and laugh, and there is no unlearned commoner among us"!
Although the meaning is quite different from the original words, it undoubtedly has the same effect.
"Old Ding, I rushed here right after receiving your call. No matter what you say today, you have to drink a few sips. Don't be stingy!"
"It's rare that there are so many people here today, I have to show off some of my treasures, otherwise it will be hard to convince them!"
When everyone is of similar status, they are naturally no different from ordinary people in chatting and laughing. For Zhou Dongsheng, who has participated in the Wuzhen dinner, this is something he is accustomed to.
"I've been thinking about my treasure all day long. Every bottle I drink is less. But I'm in a good mood today, so I just took it out to cheer myself up."
Ding Sanshi readily agreed to the suggestion. After all, as a fellow glutton, it would be more enjoyable to share the delicious food and wine than to enjoy it alone.
"Oh, Old Ding is so generous today, it looks like this is a Hongmen Banquet!" Someone laughed and made a harmless joke.
"You're taking advantage of me and still acting like a good boy, huh? You're not going to get anything good no matter what. But today's banquet is not only not a Hongmen Banquet, you can also eat and take..." Ding Sanshi also joked.
At this time, some people in the crowd had naturally recognized the young and handsome Zhou Dongsheng standing nearby. As for such an upstart, some of them were naturally familiar with him.
Among them, there are people who have already contacted and dealt with Zhou Dongsheng, as well as people who have met Zhou Dongsheng on various occasions before.
However, compared with the importance of such social occasions, this private dinner, which is led by a big shot like Ding Sanshi, is naturally incomparable.
Everyone present is a smart person, and combined with Ding Sanshi's words, the purpose of this dinner is naturally obvious.
Although the Wuzhen dinner incident had already made people know that Ding Sanshi valued Zhou Dongsheng very much, it even made people imagine a lot.
Now that they had seen it with their own eyes, everyone understood immediately. No matter what the rumors were, Ding Sanshi's personal appearance was undoubtedly a real sign of strength.
No matter what, they had to give Ding Sanshi some face, not to mention... it was a profitable and good thing, so how could they refuse it?
Naturally, as everyone was chatting and laughing at the dinner table, Yi Nian Media's financing, which was not difficult to begin with, went even more smoothly.
When the dust settled, both the valuation and the team were impeccable.
