With the topic of conversation, the time passed quickly, and Boss Zhang and Qiu Bosong were chatting very harmoniously, but during this period, Lin Wei seemed to be hesitant to speak.
So after the dinner, the other party seemed a little presumptuous and directly kept Yang Dongxu. Boss Zhang glanced at Lin Wei and said nothing.
Instead, he was going to find a place to discuss the film and television website with Qiu Bosong in detail. He saw that Yang Dongxu wanted 361 to cooperate with Sohu, not Xuri Technology. Qiu Bosong is undoubtedly fully responsible for this cooperation.
So the group of people quickly left with their own things to do, leaving only Yang Dongxu and Lin Wei in the box.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me?" Yang Dongxu looked at Lin Wei with a little curiosity in his eyes.
After all, colleagues are enemies. Although there is no time to fight to the death, the two sides do not seem to be harmonious enough to meet in private to discuss things.
"MM has recently launched a new feature. Users can pay to choose their own MM avatar and dress their own avatar," Lin Wei said.
There was a look of surprise on Yang Dongxu's face, not because he was surprised that MM found this profit model. He, who has been following the development of MM and CC, has known about this for a long time.
And this is not MM’s original work. Paying to dress up virtual characters was the first initiative of a small Korean website. However, the effect was not very good and it is considered a failure.
However, this method is undoubtedly a golden idea when used on MM and CC, because they have enough user groups. Even if only a few percent of users pay, it's still a huge amount of revenue. He was surprised at how Lin Wei talked about this matter with him.
"In order to facilitate the development of this project, MM and CC have plans to set up their own payment systems, and have negotiated with The9. In the future, players will use their payment software for online purchases." Lin Wei continued.
Yang Dongxu couldn't help but frown. He really hadn't heard the news yet. It is not surprising that Lin Wei knows that he has a close relationship with Alipay and even speculates that he may be a shareholder of Alipay.
After all, when Xuri Technology was first established and had only one project, "Legend", Alipay's support for Xuri Technology could be seen by anyone who was not blind.
Although Xuri Technology has not disclosed how much commission it receives for payment using Alipay, it is certainly lower than others in the same industry, or even extremely low.
In addition, Alipay has introduced users to Xuri Technology from the beginning, just like treating its own son. If you don’t know the relationship between the two companies, there will be something wrong with your brain.
Alipay is undoubtedly the core of Yang Dongxu's creation of his own Internet business empire. Whether it is games or shopping, Alipay is an indispensable part.
But now MM and CC want to develop their own payment methods, and have begun to contact game companies to use their payment software for internal consumption. This is undoubtedly Parkson Technology and Feixun Technology preparing to join forces to stab Yang Dongxu in the heart.
It is not surprising to Yang Dongxu that a communication software company establishes its own payment method. After all, in the previous generation, when Penguin had not come up with any representative ***, what it was best at was allowing users to open various memberships and various diamonds.
In Yang Dongxu’s impression, he had not yet used Alipay. At first, I used QQ’s Tenpay, but later Alipay came out and swept across the Internet and dominated all payment software.
But after WeChat Pay came out, it made a good turnaround. In short, in the previous life, online payment methods were very popular. You sang and I came on stage.
Yang Dongxu thought that he would definitely have various opponents in the virtual payment market, such as eBay, which is very active in foreign countries. In recent years, it has been preparing to make moves in the domestic market, making Yang Dongxu, a shareholder of eBay, extremely embarrassed at certain times. .
But what he didn't expect was that competitors would appear so early, and they didn't appear in the gaming and online shopping industries, but the communication software company sold it first. Do you want to confirm the old saying: "The person who kills you may not be your peers, but probably someone from across the border?"
Especially since the rise of Alipay, UnionPay seems to have a new understanding of this new payment method, and it is curious but also wary.
So in the past few years, no one has noticed that the payment industry is a cake, but they are stuck in UnionPay and have not obtained a license. Therefore, MM and CC relied on their huge user base and good ideas such as avatar shows to develop payment software. There are not only two technology companies in this, but someone is trying to cause trouble.
"Aren't you happy to see competitors? Only by being competitive in this way can you enjoy better cost performance." Yang Dongxu ran through many possibilities and conspiracy theories in his mind, but said calmly without showing it on his face.
Since everyone knows that Alipay has a very close relationship with him, although he has not publicly admitted it, he has not denied it either. Now he might as well just acquiesce.
"Competition can indeed promote the healthy development of the industry, but only if companies have enough freedom of choice." Lin Wei couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on her face.
The emergence of more choices in the payment field is naturally a good thing for game companies like them. After all, this does not mean that Alipay will give you as much commission as you want. They have other options and have bargaining chips.
At the same time, it can also gain a competitive advantage when facing Rising Sun Technology, which is like Alipay's own son. But the problem is that many of Ninetowns' players and users now rely on one-click login through communication software diversion.
Players are the lifeblood of game companies, and half of their lives are in their hands. It’s really not certain whether this payment software will be a help or a drag when the time comes.
"Then what do you mean by telling me this?" Yang Dongxu looked at Lin Wei doubtfully.
Even if a communication software technology company launches its own payment software, the impact will definitely be on Alipay, which does not seem to have much to do with the Ninetowns Game Company owned by Lin Wei. And on the surface, Ninetowns and communication software companies are allies, while Rising Sun Technology and Alipay are enemies.
"I want to cooperate with 361 Browser and Tieba. I hope to be able to get the same promotion resources and one-click mutual account login convenience as those of Xuri Technology Games." Lin Wei looked at Yang Dongxu and said very directly.
Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows, leaned back on the chair and crossed his fingers on his lap: "These resources are not cheap."
He agreed with Lin Wei's desire to expand his own game introduction channels. After all, it must be uncomfortable to have your life in the hands of outsiders.
But let’s not mention that Ninetowns is now the opponent of Rising Sun Technology. It’s just the daily clicks of 361 browser and the popularity of Tieba. Yang Dongxu is the emperor's daughter and has no worries about marrying. Naturally, if you want to get the princess, you have to pay a high price.
And as long as you open your mouth too much, many partners will flock to it. Ninetowns is already at a disadvantage in this regard. Now Lin Wei took the initiative to propose it so eagerly. Didn't she personally hand him a knife and then say: "Kill him hard?"
At the same time, the communication software technology company is not a fool. Lin Wei is obviously defecting by doing this. How could the other party easily let go of the fat piece of meat that was already in his mouth?
Seemingly sensing Yang Dongxu's doubts, Lin Wei said: "Although communication software companies have found a way to make money from this avatar show, most of the revenue currently comes from diverting users to game companies."
This sentence is undoubtedly very straightforward. Although the game company has some players in the hands of the communication software company, the revenue of the communication software company also depends on the game company, and we are mutually restricted.
Moreover, there are not one but two communication companies, which is another involvement. If Lin Wei is looking for new user expansion channels, if the communication software company reacts too much or looks too ugly, this will be equivalent to giving opportunities to competitors.
In the final analysis, game companies are just complementary partners to communication software companies, but their peers are irresolvable mortal enemies. So at this point, it is estimated that even if the communication software company has an opinion, the measures taken will not be so drastic. In the end, it is estimated that most of the disputes will be made.
"Then why should I choose to cooperate with you?" Yang Dongxu asked.
You can argue over the communication software, but Yang Dongxu has so many people to cooperate with, so why must he choose Ninetowns?
"While browsers and Tieba are diverting traffic to The9 games, all The9 games will also be diverting traffic to Tieba. You can even open an official account in Tieba to update and publish some game updates and some celebrities on the power rankings. player.
In addition, Ninetowns will also pay you a considerable amount of advertising fees. As far as I know, the current browser's pasting ability mainly relies on Tieba and web games.
Many imitators have begun to appear in web games. Although they are not as good as 361, they are constantly diverting this small number of players.
Not to mention Tieba, currently Baidu, Sina, and even Sohu, which Mr. Zhang just founded, are actively preparing for this, and some hot topics have even been posted separately.
Although Ninetowns is not as good as Rising Sun Technology, it still has a player base of millions. The addition of Ninetowns can supplement the Tieba content to a certain extent, which is beneficial to both of us. "
This analysis is undoubtedly reasonable, especially since Yang Dongxu can get benefits from it and also get advertising fees, which doesn't look too good at all.
After all, although Tieba serves Xuri Technology, it does not belong to Xuri Technology alone. Otherwise, it will cut off its own path and will be surpassed by these imitators sooner or later.
However, the posts suddenly discussing the games of Rising Sun Technology in Tieba were very popular before the deliberate guidance, but the posts about games from other game companies seemed to be secretive.
One is that no one has officially agreed that this is actually a bit of an infringement. However, Tieba users can post on their own, and in the end, the post will be deleted to smooth things over.
But this is undoubtedly a loss for Tieba, and now those imitators are approaching step by step. It is definitely better to win Ninetowns for official certification and post than to push him into the arms of those imitators.
What's more, Lin Wei is so grand and spends a lot of money on advertising. To be honest, even though the two companies are competitors, such a cooperation is a bit like seeking skin from a tiger, but Yang Dongxu can't help but feel a little moved.
Of course, this exciting final cooperation is definitely not other than the strong complement to Tieba that he ran to Ninetowns to join the Tieba family because he saw money.
He has absolute confidence in this game in the hands of Xuri Technology. Even if Xuri Technology is diverted to Ninetowns, Xuri Technology is still the boss.
For example, "Legend" is not comparable to any current game. More than ten years later, "You are a brother, come and kill me" will still be as popular.
In addition, it goes without saying that he has severely cracked down on piracy and cheating, not to mention that he has evergreen games like "Fantasy Westward Journey". And the absolute advantage of getting early access to various popular games in the future.
If he was surpassed by Jiucheng because of one diversion, then he could find a piece of tofu and directly kill him and be reincarnated.
But what Yang Dongxu is interested in now is not the cooperation issue, just leave this to Qiu Bosong to discuss. He was somewhat interested in Lin Wei.
You must know that Lin Wei is only the CEO of Ninetowns, not the boss, and she only holds the stock options for the CEO position, which is not even a shareholder. At most, it is only the option dividend.
Therefore, for such a position that seems very prestigious but does not have such freedom in the country, the other party can actually find him as a competitor and use such a move to go off the mark. The person in front of her had talents that were comparable to her appearance, or even surpassed his beautiful appearance.
After all, taking the wrong approach is synonymous with risk, and those shareholders are not so easy to convince.
