After solving his own troubles, making a small profit, and lighting a fire, Yang Dongxu flew to South Korea. It's not that Li Fuzhen asked him for anything, nor did he invest in BS. He came to inspect the Korean game market. Not only South Korea, he will also go to Japan.
Although people with lofty ideals in China are actively expanding, China is still in a game desert environment. The game industries in Japan and South Korea are developing well.
After all, the environment and starting point are different. When China was still fighting on horseback in ancient times, people were already driving cars on the built highways. It was impossible to overtake them step by step, and they could only overtake through curves.
During this overseas inspection, he had two main goals, the first being "Legend of Hot Blood". This game was tepid after its release in South Korea, but became a huge hit in China.
The second "Stone Age", these two games can be said to be iconic representatives of online games in the pioneering era of the domestic game industry. Basically, Dongxu Technology's game department will not have to worry about getting these two games within five years. .
Yes, when dividing the business departments between China Telecom and Dongxu Technology, Yang Dongxu assigned the gaming department to Dongxu Technology. For Leader Lei, Yang Dongxu thought it would be better to just focus on letting him get better games on his mobile phone.
Of course, in addition to inspecting the game, the team that makes the game is also the focus of his personal visit this time. Games alone are not enough without a team. He doesn't want to buy the game and only set up a maintenance team without development capabilities.
After all, buying games, or getting some game agents, is because you have no choice but to do so. But we can't do this all the time. The game department has been established, and even the office space has been renovated. How can we do it without some professional talents?
With the experience of investing in a Korean TV station last time, BS can now be said to be unparalleled in Korea and has become the number one entertainment company. Even though Li Fuzhen was still busy at home and did not return to South Korea this time, Yang Dongxu's trip went very smoothly.
As soon as the plane landed on the first day, I directly inspected several game companies, and then went to see the "Legend" team that was still under development. Then I stayed in South Korea for three days and flew to Japan without making a statement on the spot.
Compared to South Korea and Japan, it is easier. After all, he is SoftBank's major shareholder, and SoftBank's main investments are in the telecommunications and IT industries. Therefore, there was no fertility at all, so he packaged and acquired several promising game studios.
Because the game development has reached a critical moment, Yang Dongxu has no intention of moving the team to China. Instead, he allows them to continue development and discusses his views on the game with the leader of the game development team.
At first, the captain of the game group looked down upon this stranger, but after a few words of exchange, he was instantly shocked. It’s not surprising to everyone, because as a game veteran, Yang Dongxu spent more than half of his previous life in Internet cafes.
He has played "Legend", and he is a hardcore player of "Stone Age", so the ideas and requirements he put forward are all classics of each version after the game has been developed and matured. They are the crystallization of countless people's efforts and have gone through The test of time.
After watching the game, Yang Dongxu went to Shueisha as a guest. As a shareholder, it can be said that it was his first time to come to Shueisha and received a warm reception. He has been creating comics since the 1980s and can now be said to be a master figure in the comics industry. And he is steadily moving towards becoming a master, and the comics he publishes are all classics, even though he rarely writes them himself now.
In addition to exchanging some comics experiences and holding a shareholders' meeting, I came to the comics club. Yang Dongxu also has another goal: animation.
This is a huge industry. At present, Japan has found its way onto the right track and is developing rapidly, and has vaguely caught up with Europe and the United States, which are more technologically advanced.
As the largest comic exporting country in later generations, Yang Dongxu has never given up on this piece of cake and started laying out the plan a long time ago. And there is the idea of introducing comic technology into the country.
Think about Japan's popular "Slam Dunk", "Bleach", "One Piece"... and look at the domestic ones... Okay, there's not much to say, he just has balls. It hurts, and it feels like vomiting blood when someone makes a movie with hundreds of millions of dollars, and we made "The Promise" with hundreds of millions.
Especially after the development of the Internet and various online dramas, he sometimes wanted to say that the director and screenwriter should be axed. Such an awesome IP, such a passionate storyline, why don’t you give me a Dou Di riding horse...
In short, Yang Dongxu has thought about it. When the special effects of movies cannot keep up, he will first make the good materials into animation. As long as the screenwriter is more reliable, the screen production is more careful, and there is animation technology support. Many popular online comics are definitely better than these popular Japanese comics.
So since comics can be the trump card for Japanese elements to invade other countries, why can't they be the driving force for the popular world of Chinese elements?
While children all over the world are fascinated by Japanese ninjas, how about Chinese cultivators and even immortals who are even more awesome? "Journey to the West" would be great as an anime. As for the translation issue?
Do you know the original version? Do you know what the original version is? Since Chinese people can watch Korean dramas like Oppa and Unnie, they can also watch Japanese dramas with all kinds of yakuza. What’s wrong with letting these foreigners appreciate the charm of the Chinese language?
Mao’s precise translation is enough to give you a rough idea. If you want to understand the meaning of the words in the play, then work hard to learn Chinese one by one. This is also a powerful promotion of the Chinese language, isn’t it?
In the Ginza Hotel, Yang Dongxu, who had been in Japan for almost a week, met Son Masayoshi, currently the representative of SoftBank, for the first time. Like other industries in Japan.
Due to the impact of the financial turmoil, SoftBank, which has been making rapid progress, has been somewhat weakened this year. Many telecommunications companies that could have developed went bankrupt. This makes Son Zhengyi always feel a little lack of confidence when meeting his big boss.
"No investment is 100% profitable. If there is such a business, it will have been occupied by others. Then it will be our turn? Before the end of the year, I will inject another 1 billion US dollars into house arrest. Don't be afraid of failure, and don't be afraid of spending money. , if you think it is good, be bold and invest." Yang Dongxu waved his arms very grandly.
Anyway, the money invested is less than one-fifth of the money earned from the Japanese stock market, so he naturally speaks with confidence and is twice as strong as his waist.
"Thank you boss for your trust." Sun Zhengyi said with some excitement. He would die for his confidant. He is so lucky to meet a boss who understands him so well. But after getting excited, he thought about the technologies required by the big boss, and he couldn't help but look a little tangled: "Chairman, those technologies related to telecommunications..."
"I know about the technology blockade, and I don't intend to do anything secretly. If the patent is not authorized, can we cooperate with the head office? I think everyone knows how big a market China is.
At this time, needless to say, the benefits of patent investment and cooperation? If that doesn't work, you can trade technology for rare earths. I still have some ideas in this regard. "
"Can it really be exchanged for rare earths?" Son's eyes lit up.
As an investor who is very optimistic about the development of the telecommunications industry, I understand the importance of rare earths very well. I just don’t know why China’s rare earth exports have been in turmoil recently, and several major international countries have ordered back their products for testing. This has made many electronic component companies feel nervous.
"It's necessary. As long as it has the technology I need, it doesn't matter whether it's a joint venture that requires shares, or it counts as rare earths. But the premise is don't try to trick me. They want to make money, and I also want to make money. Let's do it for mutual benefit. Otherwise, I will go to Europe and the United States to find partners. Anyway, facing the huge market of China, anyone with a little foresight will be tempted."
Rare earth exchange for technology is an idea Yang Dongxu put forward when he was cooperating with the authorities to rectify domestic rare earth exports. Don’t you want the Republic’s rare earths, and the demand is huge.
I don’t want your money in that business, I’ll give you your skills in exchange. Or if the two parties cooperate and invest in your technology, I will provide policy support to open up the domestic market and let you come in and make money. In this way, you will definitely be able to double your losses after the price increase of rare earths.
Of course, if you feel that high-tech technology or sensitive technology is not enough, then you can bring out some real-life technology, as long as you can help me develop while making money, the more the better.
At first glance, China is at a disadvantage, but the score cannot be settled. Even if you don’t exchange rare earths for technology, you won’t welcome international capital to invest in China and won’t let people make money?
Since we originally encouraged people to invest and make money. Then why not take a roundabout way to get more benefits in your own hands and add more support to the development of the country?
In short, if you develop, your words will count. If you fail to develop, you will only be treated as a grandchild. Otherwise, why would the country develop its economy even though it tolerates everything?
So until we are not tough, there is nothing funny about nodding and bowing when we should. Of course, the premise is that some bottom lines cannot be crossed, otherwise no matter who you are, even if you can't do it, I will try my best to let you know what it means that Lord Ma has three eyes.
Yang Dongxu, who came back from Japan with a huge amount of money in hand, started to hold meetings with various companies. After conducting detailed research on the industries he had acquired in the past two years, he was ready to start crazy expansion.
Especially in the retail industry of Millennium Supermarket, he spent a lot of money so that Hu Dashan must spread the supermarket to second-tier cities in China before the first half of next year, and there should be at least two in each second-tier city and at least one in third-tier cities.
For Dongxu Technology, the sale of VCD patents and production lines is not a smoke bomb, so it continues to sell. Then we invested heavily to build a computer hardware production line with independent property rights, which mainly focused on hardware and computer motherboards, and tried to keep up with graphics cards and memory sticks. In short, sufficient R&D funds were provided.
Not to mention Huaxiu, which has basically taken over domestic textile factories and launched an outsourcing policy for some orders. Take the initiative to help some small textile companies transform, improve the development of the domestic textile industry faster and better, and then expand their share in the international market.
At the end of November, although the Asian financial crisis continued to be turbulent, it eased slightly. Taking advantage of the fact that international capital seemed to be brewing a big move, Yang Dongxu took the time to fly to the United States. He is planning to acquire a basketball club, and if he can fly to Europe to acquire a football club.
