Volume 4 Crazy Growth 2017 Chapter 871
"Not only can you see e-sports entering Asia, but even mobile games have the opportunity to join the group. After all, in terms of audience, it is hard for PC games to catch up with the growth rate of mobile games... E-sports and mobile games have a promising future!"
Zhou Dongsheng said meaningfully that although mobile game players are at the bottom of the player contempt chain, it is well known that in the pyramid structure, the bottom layer is the one that firmly occupies the vast majority of people.
In the past, as a simple player, Zhou Dongsheng also followed the trend to mock mobile game players, and he never got tired of making memes such as "film" and "the only officially designated e-sports chair - toilet".
And from the perspective of watching the game, the mobile game is indeed unsatisfactory. Apart from the large number of players, there seems to be a lot of room for improvement in all aspects.
However, the wheel of history rolls forward, and under the general trend, mobile games are gradually becoming mainstream, and this trend will not be shaken by the will of some people.
The most important thing is that as a vested interest, Zhou Dongsheng today has to sigh: It smells so good!
Driven by the powerful pig factory, the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" mobile game has completed all stages from research and development to internal testing, and for such a phenomenal IP that is popular all over the world.
The pig factory is also on high alert, and is still striving for perfection in every detail of the feel to ensure that its own interests can be maximized. It is only one step away from the official launch of operations.
It is worth mentioning that the so-called most stringent game license policy in history has come late but has arrived. In the face of this inevitable historical trend, even a mantis cannot stop a car, let alone Zhou Dongsheng, who is just a butterfly?
However, the pig factory was quite foresighted and had already completed various tasks such as advance filing, and by chance, it obtained the version number for the mobile version of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" in advance before the policy was tightened.
Therefore, the operational difficulties that Tenda originally encountered have now been unexpectedly solved.
Perhaps the most crucial thing was the time difference that Zhou Dongsheng managed to secure, allowing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to be released ahead of schedule, thus shortening the entire timeline...
Of course, the various problems that the mobile game will encounter in the future will most likely be repeated. Zhou Dongsheng can only shrug his shoulders helplessly. This is beyond the influence of human power.
At the very least, it is enough not to hinder the mobile game from making money. After all, compared with the terrifying money-making ability of the chicken mobile game, the PC game is simply a dwarf compared to it.
"Mobile games are still a little lacking in quality. I'm really not excited about playing them..." Principal Wang disagreed with this and shook his head to express his opinion.
Zhou Dongsheng took a sip of tea leisurely and smiled without saying anything.
In addition to the chicken-eating mobile game developed mainly by Zhuchang, the mobile games developed by Mihayo, which has obtained its own authorization, can also serve as alternatives for practice.
Of course, Mihayo, who is not as experienced as Zhuchang, is not so lucky. Due to policy restrictions, if the chicken-eating mobile game he developed cannot become a hit...
Then the probability of it becoming a victim will undoubtedly increase greatly, and its final fate will probably be like that of "Total Army Attack" in Tenda's hands, becoming a stepping stone to the market.
Of course, at worst, it may end up like "Glory Mission", disappearing from the market without even making a splash.
What's worse, some people have never even heard of his name... All we can say is that Tengda is indeed proficient in the art of raising Gu.
Given the amazing money-making ability of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Tencent's usual style is naturally unlikely to remain indifferent to such a piece of fat meat.
Although "H1Z1", the originator of the battle royale game, has long since withdrawn from the mainstream market under the suppression of the up-and-coming "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", even though it chose the free method, it is still unable to turn the tide.
Tencent had previously paid a high price to acquire the exclusive agency rights in its hands. Although it failed to introduce it into the domestic market as expected, it developed a mobile game under the shell of "H1Z1", the originator of the battle royale, based on the principle of not wasting...
This is undoubtedly in line with Tencent's style of doing things, and it is indeed the case.
As early as when QQ took the lead in expanding its territory in the chicken-eating mobile game market, Tencent had already announced that it would follow suit, and it was very likely that it would choose to compete with QQ.
After all, the love-hate relationship has been a "sadistic love" that has lasted for more than ten years. Now the roles have been reversed, and it has become the pig factory holding high the banner of "genuine chicken-eating mobile game"...
It is not known whether the pig farm can make a comeback, so Zhou Dongsheng can only wait and see.
Anyway, no matter who wins or loses, it won't prevent me from making money behind the scenes. After all, just holding the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" IP is enough to make me invincible.
It's just the difference between earning a little more or a little less.
The most important thing is that as long as the authentic identity of PUBG is established, it will not only make money, but also when e-sports enters Asia in the future, PUBG mobile games will naturally occupy a place in it.
With this gold medal linked to national honor, the potential benefits that can be brought are naturally countless, and it will also transform into a long-term business...
Therefore, even if they don't compete, the pig factory will compete. Not only the pig factory will compete, but the goose factory will also be unwilling to fall behind...
After all, Tencent, which owns the King of Glory mobile game, knows better than anyone how terrifying the money-making ability of mobile games is!
Even in the future, if the popular King of Glory mobile game is split into an independent subsidiary, with its terrifying revenue-generating capabilities, it can easily rank among the top 500 companies in China.
"Who told you to play it? PC games are just for fun. To really make money, we have to rely on mobile games. With both approaches, the value of our PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds company will naturally rise..."
"It's not shameful to make money."
Zhou Dongsheng picked up the teacup and gestured to Principal Wang cheerfully.
Principal Wang became more energetic upon hearing this. He picked up the teacup, clinked tea with Zhou Dongsheng's, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"That's right, that's the logic. You also have to know how to make money. By the way, I heard you mention Bitcoin before..."
Principal Wang changed the subject and suddenly remembered something Zhou Dongsheng had mentioned a year ago, and then exclaimed in amazement.
"I have to say, your vision is really amazing. This thing has risen to several thousand US dollars per coin. The capital market is really crazy..."
"I listened to you and bought a little at the beginning, but I didn't expect the price to increase so much in a blink of an eye..."
Principal Wang couldn't help but reveal a look of deep pain, as if he had missed out on hundreds of millions. If it weren't for Zhou Dongsheng, he wouldn't even have paid attention to the existence of virtual currency.
Even so, Principal Wang naturally cannot have the courage to choose to invest heavily. After all, human resources are limited. The focus of Principal Wang's career has always been on his ambition to build his own pan-entertainment empire.
Now with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds as the money-printing machine and a solid mainstay, Principal Wang can't help but be confident about it. Even though his backer Yida is temporarily struggling, it has not shaken Principal Wang's confidence.
Looking back to the past, I had tea with Principal Wang and talked about heroes. Now, time has passed, and the roles of both parties seem to have been reversed quietly.
Now, when discussing philosophy by the Huangpu River, he is the one taking the lead. It must be said... Zhou Dongsheng quite enjoys this feeling.
“You can never make enough money. There are plenty of opportunities to make money. If you miss this opportunity, there will always be another one. As for Bitcoin, the current round of market has not yet come to an end…”
Zhou Dongsheng spoke calmly, inadvertently revealing a hint of confidence in his ability to plan and strategize, which made Principal Wang's heart tremble.
Unconsciously, Zhou Dongsheng already possessed a kind of... demeanor that he had seen in his father.
Although Zhou Dongsheng was several years younger than himself, the gap between them had obviously undergone a dramatic reversal compared to when they first met...
Now, unless I am willing to be a successor, the gap will probably get bigger and bigger...
Although his mind was racing, Principal Wang remained calm on the surface. Instead, he asked with interest, "So, you must have bought a lot, right?"
"A little bit..." Zhou Dongsheng stretched out a finger and shook it.
"Ten thousand? That's not a small number. It's no problem to easily earn tens of millions of US dollars..." Principal Wang couldn't help but reveal a look of understanding, and at the same time he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If I watch Zhou Dongsheng making huge money and I miss this good opportunity, then... it would be more painful than killing myself.
Even for Principal Wang, who is not short of money, it would be sad to see his brothers making a lot of money. After all, isn't it human nature?
Zhou Dongsheng smiled without saying anything. He looked at Principal Wang meaningfully, and a sense of evil taste arose in his heart.
Although he was determined to use this as an opportunity to win a good reputation, there is no such thing as a wall without cracks. It is impossible to hide this from Principal Wang. If the news gets out, it will sooner or later reach his ears...
However, for the time being, Zhou Dongsheng chose to keep it a secret.
He has already begun to look forward to what Principal Wang will think about this. In life, one has to find some fun for oneself.
“It’s too early to say. Let’s wait and see until the end of the year. At present, I am still bullish on the performance of the market in the future…” Zhou Dongsheng could not deny and gave his opinion.
"Okay, let's wait and see. I'll earn some foreign exchange as pocket money, and then I'll take you overseas to have fun..." Principal Wang was obviously unaware of Zhou Dongsheng's evil intentions, and he still said it cheerfully.
"Okay, I've been busy making money these past two years and haven't had time to enjoy myself. I need to learn from you, Principal Wang, in this regard..."
Zhou Dongsheng joked casually, and Principal Wang glanced at Zhou Dongsheng unhappily. Why did his words sound so unpleasant? He was just showing off.
He simply drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, then stood up and said, "Let's go, it's getting late. I've had too much tea, so I have to go to the bar to get some wine, otherwise my stomach will be sour!"
"Okay, come and drink tea often when you have time. I just took over this teahouse not long ago..." Zhou Dongsheng said happily.
After all, drinking tea by the river is one of the great pleasures in the world. For Zhou Dongsheng today, spending a fortune on his favorite thing is naturally a common and trivial thing.
Upon hearing this, Principal Wang quickened his pace.
…
As spring goes and autumn comes, another page of the calendar is torn off, which means that time has entered November.
The Frost Descent has just passed and the Beginning of Winter is approaching. Under the influence of a cold air mass moving from the south, the perceived temperature has dropped significantly.
However, the drop in temperature has no effect on the hot market, especially the virtual currency market which has now received much attention from global investors.
As time entered November, the market value of Bitcoin quietly achieved a new high.
At the end of October, Bitcoin has successfully broken through the 6,000 US dollar mark, adding fuel to the second wave of the market this year, making the fire in the market burn even more vigorously.
At the same time, after entering November, the market value of Bitcoin has gone against its norm and has shown no signs of decline or decline, and its market value has continued to surge upwards.
It was as if there was no disagreement in the market and everyone was bullish on the future market. The obstacles that originally blocked the sky disappeared quietly.
Without any resistance, Yizhuqingtian's market value easily reached over US$7,000 in just one day.
In just two or three days, the market value of Bitcoin soared by more than one thousand US dollars. The increase was quite astonishing. The market was unprecedentedly hot, and many enthusiastic retail investors and institutional investors poured into it.
They are afraid that if they are a little slow, they will not even be able to get a sip of soup. Under the support of such unprecedented enthusiasm, the market sentiment is naturally very good, and the trading volume is increasing day by day.
On November 2, it even created an astonishing single-day trading volume of nearly 5 billion US dollars. Although compared with the global stock market with a trading volume of hundreds of billions of US dollars, the gap in size is still an insurmountable chasm.
However, if we look at its growth curve, it is not difficult to discover an astonishing fact!
At the beginning of the year, the market value of Bitcoin was still struggling between a few hundred US dollars, and the trading volume of the entire market was only tens of millions of US dollars. The entire market combined was only equivalent to the level of a medium-sized stock in the US stock market!
However, in just over half a year, both the market size and market value have grown by leaps and bounds. In less than a year, the size has skyrocketed dozens of times, and the market value has skyrocketed by nearly 700%!
Such an astonishing growth rate is enough to drive the entire capital market crazy, and the trading volume is not only a powerful reflection of the market size, but also sufficient to prove the activeness of market transactions.
If the market is like a stagnant pool of water, it means that the liquidity of chips is extremely poor. However, for Bitcoin, which is advertised as a virtual currency, liquidity is precisely a cornerstone that determines its value.
Currency without circulation is like waste paper and has no value at all.
The increase in trading volume means that the market has gradually recognized the existence of Bitcoin, and more and more people are participating in this transaction.
And as time goes by, a consensus is quietly established, a value system established with Bitcoin as the circulating currency...
With such a value system as the foundation, it means that the market will not collapse easily, but as the leeks grow more and more well, the sickle has begun to stir.
