Chapter 507: Willows and Flowers (Part 2)
Because this matter has nothing to do with cynthia, she is more detached from the perspective of a third party and feels that Chu Yuanxi is a little twisted. However, it is normal for entrepreneurs to be confused about their achievements and cannot break out of the small circle.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yuanxi laughed: "Do you know that Huawei almost sold it to Motorola in 2003?"
cynthia shook her head.
"That year, the price was negotiated, $7.5 billion, five times that of Baren Entertainment, and both parties were very satisfied. If Motorola hadn't suddenly changed its coach, the new president would think it would be too unprofitable to acquire a foreign company like Huawei, which still needs to pay cash. Lao Ren is now a typical example of correctly understanding his value, and Lao Yang might not have been able to buy Motorola. It can be said that Motorola's change of coach this time is a change of coach that changes the world."
Liu Lu murmured in a low voice: "Isn't Huawei's low-walking planet that year the price is just this..."
"Xiao Liu, you're just black for the sake of blackness, right?" This time it was cynthia's turn to laugh and cry. Unexpectedly, Liu Lu was quite fierce: "I'm not black, how low do you know? Back then, it was a comprehensive copy of Xiaomi, and I wish I could even imitate the marketing model to the body hair, and I had to draw posters accordingly. Without Xiaomi, Huawei could not draw posters. All of this, Honor phone licked its face and said it was called 'Be brave to be yourself'. I said that there was still something wrong with their low? Huawei has always been proud of fighting for low."
This time, even Yuan Lu was happy. Liu Lu deserved to be a Xiaomi person for five years and had a lot of resentment towards Huawei.
Chu Yuanxi said: "But they succeeded. Not only did they succeed in sales, they also started to make their own Kirin processors and zoom dual cameras. Later, didn't Xiaomi learn from Honor?"
The zoom dual camera is exactly the technical characteristics of Liu Lu's time before leaving Xiaomi, which suddenly reminded her of some unpleasant things. Her facial features are actually large, her contour lines are relatively tough, and her face sinks down, and she is actually very imposing! Chu Yuanxi always thought she was very familiar, a small man less than 1.6 meters tall, but she didn't expect that she would have such a side.
However, Liu Lu quickly felt relieved: "It is true that Xiaomi has stepped out of the trough by putting down her figure. After experiencing this process, I am also a senior entrepreneur, hahaha--"
Her hardware conditions are fully in line with Chu Yuanxi's requirements. She also has human resources experience in startups, technology companies and traditional enterprises. In particular, she has worked as a senior executive in Greater China who has worked as a Knight CodeBoard and a manager in a game company. It is definitely easy to communicate with Chu Yuanxi, and she is willing to start a business. So today Chu Yuanxi is here, mainly to talk about it and gain the other party's values through communication.
Although they talked about it in general after coming, Chu Yuanxi felt that Liu Lu should be more suitable, at least he did not talk about wolf culture. But I still have to talk about the specific ones.
Unexpectedly, Liu Lu spoke first: "Mr. Chu, don't look at me working at Knight CodeBoard. Actually, I am an amateur in making games. I was very curious about a question. I just communicated with Mr. Yuan and found that the cost of developing games is not high, and you have a lot of cash in hand. Why don't you Baren Entertainment make more IPs and games? At the same time, you can open more project teams, recruit people to make products, promote new IPs, and then promote them to fans. Wouldn't you increase the speed of making money by several times?"
"Why doesn't Knight CodeBoard do this? Your company is bigger, more human resources, and rich, so you can start many more projects at the same time, right?"
"But we are not guaranteed to be successful. R&D always has costs, and it also requires promotion and distribution. It's all money. If you can't get the money back after making a product, won't you just quit it?"
Liu Lu had long thought about this question, "Mr. Yuan talked about the routine gameplay of Baren Entertainment, and I was shocked. What traffic pools, black swans, etc., and some novel concepts. Oh, cognitive upgrades! In short, I have never heard of it, but I feel very awesome! I feel that you will definitely succeed in making mobile games, so why not open it up?"
Chu Yuanxi looked at Yuan Mu with a strange expression. Yuan Mu raised his head proudly, meaning: What am I talking about?
This made Chu Yuanxi very angry and thought to himself, can you learn something well? The key is that you can't learn the essence of this!
However, this question is actually easy to answer: "Smart phone shipments have stopped growing since this year, so mobile games relying on devices must also enter the stock market. But new games are still constantly increasing. What does this mean? It means that winning by volume is definitely not possible, which raises R&D and distribution costs, but it is all about stock competition and has extremely low efficiency.
Moreover, this problem is more significant for Baren Entertainment. We are a fan economy, and the traffic pool has a ceiling. Whether a game makes money or not determines its reputation, and the distribution environment determines its height. Baren's distribution environment, a popular IP+ game accounts for almost the same amount, and it will be very beautiful when reading the financial report, but the two models at the same time, assuming the same quality, then the total revenue according to my calculation is about 1+1=1.3, because we only have so many distribution resources.
So what Baren Entertainment needs to do is to go out of the circle and expand the influence of an IP. In the early stage, it relies on self-media to build a traffic pool and cultivate IP. When the IP is strong enough, it will come out. Use IP as a weapon to grab new fans and expand the traffic pool to form a positive cycle."
"Wow, it's amazing." Liu Lu took the lead in applauding, "I know why Knight Code Box and Kali Chat want to acquire you. They see that this pool can expand in the future!"
"Mizhao Mizhao." Chu Yuanxi asked: "I have seen many people since I started my business, but you are a special one. Your mentality is very relaxed and you don't have any anxiety. How did you do this?"
Liu Lu's eyes lit up: "This is called a good mentality. I want to start a business now, which is called 'do your best, don't have to succeed'. If I always think about success, I will definitely be anxious. If I have no desires or desires, what's there to worry about? I'm older and a woman again, so I'll just take it a little more after giving birth to a baby."
Chu Yuanxixin said that this is extremely extreme compared to Cai Quanyi? However, it is true that the human resources position does not have much overtime pressure even in a startup company.
Why can human resources not work overtime? Because when doing a project, you cannot recruit people at will, but you can recruit hr staff based on the workload online. Chu Yuanxi finds a human resources elite to work on the team not to let her do heavy physical labor in the later stage, but to design and match the top-level structure, and to find a helmman to anchor the well-off human resources status at any time, and find a problem.
After thinking about it, he deliberately asked: "Uh, you know, many companies are advocating wolf culture now..."
"Stop!" Liu Lu waved his hand suddenly, "I'm stupid and lacking in Huawei's wolf-like culture. I prefer Xiaomi's brother culture."
Chu Yuanxi felt it was right. Although Xiaomi was not a flat management, it was indeed known for its lack of strict ranks and lengthy meetings, and advocated speed and efficiency. This was also the reason why he hurriedly came when he saw the candidate recommended by cynthia who had completely experienced Xiaomi's initial stage. Such a person is likely the person he was looking for, but... it would be better if it was a man.
"Okay, I hate wolf culture too. If you don't believe me, please ask Yuan Mu." Chu Yuanxi pointed at Yuan Mu and asked, "Then, when will you leave Knight Code Bomb?"
"Oh, I am the vice president of human resources. I hand over the work anytime, anywhere." Liu Lu looked at cynthia, "But it won't cause you any trouble, right?"
"Anyway, you have decided to leave." cynthia said generously: "Why don't I focus on my old colleagues when there is such a good thing?"
"Then, I'll have a few days off. After the 11th, let's talk about the qualifications and ranks. But do I need to go through before the project is launched? You can also continue working at Knight Mobo for a while."
"After the National Day, come to our company and talk to me. You can measure whether the workload in the early stage needs to be full-time. However, I suggest you go to Baren to join us for a while and get familiar with the environment."
Xiaokang's company Chu Yuanxi has long registered and has been frozen, but it can be started at any time, at least it is no problem to build a framework.
Finalizing Liu Lu is a matter of Chu Yuanxi's worries. This makes him feel more relaxed than successfully holding a product launch conference. It is an unexpected joy, and the willows are bright.
However, the effect of the product launch conference is equally important, and he saw preliminary feedback that night.
First of all, several major game anchors generally have good feedback. Their feedback mainly comes from cloud players who watch their live broadcasts, and they have frequently posted reviews of the game experience.
Then there is pre-registration. After the press conference is fermented, various materials begin to bombard fans through the media matrix of Baren Entertainment. The live broadcast videos of game anchors are also posted on major live broadcast platforms. There are many viewers, and by the evening, the number of people has increased by more than 100,000. This is still only counting the official website, not counting tapap and other third-party platforms, because there may be overlap.
However, a group of troublemakers came on Weibo, and Chu Yuanxi seriously suspected that they were fans of Fallout and the Elder Scrolls.
After all, B Society is a very top player among major game manufacturers, with a very good reputation in the field of stand-alone RPG games. Glass has been leading the way in the Internet games for many years, but when it comes to stand-alone games, B Society is the absolute leader.
Therefore, there are many loyal fans in China.
These troublemakers hung Chu Yuanxi with bloody hair and even pranked her portrait. Zhu Chi and Zhou Minxi did not escape online violence, but they angered the fan army of the two beauties and created a fierce melee.
This melee made Zhu Chi very difficult. She was not so popular in the live broadcast circle, but at least she had never been bullied online. It was one thing to be troubled by black mouths in reality. The camera was definitely a confrontation with the sky and the earth. As a result, for the first time today, she was buried with Chu Yuanxi...
Chu Yuanxi wanted to start his holiday in this smoky atmosphere, but unexpectedly, he saw a shocking news from the world's leading collaborative robot startup "thickly thinking" and went bankrupt.
