Chapter 855: Fantasy Westward Journey

In the last life, there was an exchange of resources between Weibo and Taobao. Many celebrities and celebrities advertised on Weibo to help Taobao sellers. Posting a Weibo may earn hundreds of thousands of advertising revenue.

There are also some jokers who use grandstanding on Weibo to gather fans first, and then use advertising for Taobao stores to monetize fans. These are typical cases of Weibo diverting traffic to Taobao.

In addition, many celebrities also open their own stores on Taobao, using their fans and their influence to attract their fans from Weibo to consume in their own Taobao stores, which is also a way for Weibo to divert to Taobao. .

Weibo has traffic, and Taobao has money, so the traffic of Weibo is directed to Taobao, which can not only make money for himself, but also help Taobao make money. This is the mission that Li Mu wants to give his blog next, to divert traffic to Taobao and help Taobao make money. At the same time, let yourself be able to make money, let your users also make money, exchange resources, and develop together, this is the healthiest business model.

It is precisely because Li Mu wants to use Tieba to incubate blogs and Weibo, and he has also figured out a monetization channel for blogs and Weibo, so he is not willing to integrate this business into Muye Technology for financing.

All of these plans, Li Mu knows all of them, his team knows a small part, and capital knows ass.

Precisely because capital knows nothing, so they will not pay too much attention to this business. When the time comes to dismantle it, capital will certainly not struggle too much. After all, their core goal is Muye Technology.

Once it is split and Muye Technology has completed the financing, Tieba's derivative product "blog" can be launched. At that time, Tieba and blogs will not only have higher traffic and influence, but also through Taobao, a monetization channel, can also reflect enough With a strong profit margin, the valuation of this business alone will increase a lot.

As for the game, Li Mu thought more.

Xu Bo, nicknamed Lao Xu, has joined Muye Technology. As long as he guides him a little, he will definitely let him come out with "Fantasy Westward Journey". If he has his own participation, perhaps his "Fantasy Westward Journey" will be better than NetEase's "Fantasy Westward Journey" in his previous life. "Journey to the West" is also awesome. This is a long-term line that can earn more than ten years. It must be developed independently to make sense. Otherwise, it is really cheap capital.

The people from Xishanju have also joined, and Li Mu plans to let them start developing a Xianxia or martial arts game. Now the domestic online game market is still in its infancy, there are few real domestic games, and the concept of IP has not yet started. Since Xishanju is good at Xianxia and martial arts games, it is better to spend some money to buy all the game copyrights of Mr. Jin Yong's works, including mobile game copyrights, while the game copyright market has not yet opened. Don't go back to take out, just develop it one by one.

At present, the price of Mr. Jin Yong's game copyright is definitely not too high. It is estimated that a few million or 10 million packages is not a big deal, so in Li Mu's view, this money is completely worth investing.

In this case, just relying on Xu Bo and Xishanju, his own terminal game market has a certain guarantee. In the future, his own terminal game company can not only develop games, but also have a large number of awesome games waiting for him to talk about agents. The profit margin is likely to be higher and incalculable. The more so, the more it is necessary to split it out in advance. First, do not let the capital of the C round come in, so as not to let them take advantage of it in vain. If you want to come in, you can wait for the business of these two sectors. It's valuable, and if you bring in big money, Li Mu will welcome him with both hands.

The two strategies were fully mature in his heart, so Li Mu asked Ding Zhenglin to communicate with Sequoia and Softbank according to his own requirements, and at the same time he prepared to take time to deal with the problem of end-game.

...

At the end of August, many universities in Yanjing started school one after another, and the National People's Congress and Yanda also entered the countdown to the start of the school. All the members of the Xishanju team had already arrived, but Xu Bo was late due to personal problems.

After Xu Bo resigned, the entry time agreed with Muye Technology's HR was originally in late August, but it is said that he went home to deal with some family affairs in the middle.

So it was delayed until the end of August.

On Xu Bo's first day at work, Kong Lingyu called him to his office.

As soon as he arrived at the company, the general manager and second-in-command of the entire Muye Technology asked him to plan such an ordinary game in the office. Xu Bo was surprised and delighted, and he was very uneasy in his heart, for fear that he did not perform well and would not be good for the leaders. impression.

Kong Lingyu was very polite to Xu Bo, invited to take a seat and asked the secretary to make tea, as if he was treated like a guest, which made Xu Bo a little confused.

Facing Xu Bo who was uneasy, Kong Lingyu said with a smile: "Old Xu, do you know why I called you over as soon as you reported?"

Xu Bo shook his head: "Mr. Kong, if you have any orders, just speak up."

Kong Lingyu smiled slightly and said, "Actually, there is one thing that I didn't tell you very thoroughly before. Do you know why I noticed your resume?"

Xu Bo shook his head again.

Kong Lingyu said lightly: "Actually, your resume is not the best among the many resumes. The reason why you get the attention of the company is mainly because our general manager Li saw your resume by accident. The vision of Makino Technology, who has not really built a game team, is very recognized."

Xu Bo was stunned: "Mr. Li? Did you mean Li always Li Mu?"

Kong Lingyu smiled and asked, "Do you think there will be other President Li?"

Xu Bo asked nervously and excitedly: "You mean, Mr. Li has seen my resume?"

"That's right." Kong Lingyu said, "Mr. Li's intuition is very accurate. When he saw your resume, he intuitively was more interested in you, so after his reminder, I noticed your resume."

Xu Bo couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this. He never dreamed that Li Mu, who is the proud of China's Internet, would pay attention to his resume. What an honor this is, to submit a resume with a fledgling programmer in the future. The feeling of being reviewed by Erma in person should be the same...

Seeing him in amazement, Kong Lingyu said with a smile: "Mr. Li attaches great importance to the game business. A few days ago, the twelve core members of Jinshan Xishanju have joined the company. Next, our game business will develop rapidly, so we will also We need you and other colleagues in the game business unit to work together to make our game business bigger and stronger."

Xu Bo nodded again and again: "Mr. Kong, please rest assured, I will do my best!"

Kong Lingyu nodded gratified, looked at the time, and said, "Well, I'll take you to Mr. Li's office, you can have a good chat with him, Mr. Li is very interested in NetEase's "Westward Journey Online", and he may Ask you some relevant questions and play well."

Xu Bo was very nervous in his heart, but he still said firmly: "Okay, Mr. Kong, I will play well later."

A moment later, Kong Lingyu brought Xu Bo to Li Mu's office. Xu Bo saw Li Mu, who had appeared countless times on TV for the first time, and Li Mu was also the first time in his life to meet Xu Bo, who was nicknamed Lao Xu.

Kong Lingyu introduced Li Mu and said, "Mr. Li, this is Xu Bo, who just joined the job today."

Li Mu nodded with a smile, pointed to the chair in front of his boss's desk, and said to Xu Bo, "Come here, please take a seat."

Xu Bo nervously walked up to him and sat down a little nervously. At this time, Kong Lingyu said, "Mr. Li, I won't disturb your chat."

Li Mu nodded, Kong Lingyu greeted Xu Bo again, and then left Li Mu's office.

Li Mu looked at Xu Bo, who had anxiety and tension written on his face, smiled lightly, and asked him, "Can you adapt to the environment in Yanjing from Yangcheng?"

Xu Bo smiled nervously and said, "I can't feel it now, I'm afraid that I won't be able to adapt to the subzero temperature after winter."

Li Mu laughed: "Yanjing has heating, so the room is still very comfortable, but it's relatively dry."

Xu Bo nodded, but wondered in his heart that the young man in front of him was the boss of Muye Technology and one of the most talented people in Huaxia Internet. He would call a little guy like himself into the office and ask for help. It's kind of incomprehensible.

At this time, Li Mu began to get to the point and said, "I heard President Kong say that when he re-examined you, you once said a general game idea?"

Xu Bo thought about the idea he had told Kong Lingyu during the retest that day. Kong Lingyu first asked himself how to change "Westward Journey Online", and his answer was that it would be better to redevelop it instead of revising it, so he said to Li Mu: " I did talk to Mr. Kong about a rough idea that day, which is based on the basis of "Journey to the West Online". I myself tend to use the background of "Journey to the West" and the elements of "Journey to the West Online", plus my personal some ideas, recreate a cartoon Westward Journey game."

Li Mu nodded, and said unabashedly: "I won't go around you. To be honest, I am very short of good PC games, especially good PC games developed by myself. If I give you a chance and follow you Do you think you can do it well?”

Although Xu Bo had always been ambitious before, and felt that he would definitely be able to make the game better by making games, but he was really timid when I asked him if he was sure of this.

After hesitating and struggling for a moment, Xu Bo rationally analyzed his current situation. Although Li Mu raised such a question to his surprise, it was not a perfect opportunity for him, so he suppressed the excitement in his heart. , said: "Mr. Li, I think I can do it well."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then you can write me a game structure first."

Xu Bo asked: "I write it casually, or do you give me some proposition requirements?"

Li Mu smiled mysteriously and said, "A few requests."

"First, the game must revolve around the well-known story background of "Journey to the West";"

"Second, the game must have a huge story background and mission system;"

"Third, NetEase's "Westward Journey" has hired Zhou Xingchi as its spokesperson. In this case, we can't directly refer to the plot and main characters in the "Westward Journey" movie, but I hope that when you set up NPCs, you should The characteristics of several main characters in the movie "Journey to the West" are tailored for them, such as Zhu Yin, Wu Mengda, Mo Wenwei and Liu Zhenwei."

Xu Bo said in surprise: "If the characters of Zhou Xingchi's "Western Journey to the West" were designed, it would conflict with "Western Journey to the West Online"."

Li Mu waved his hand: "Our story does not refer to "Western Journey to the West", but the characters are set based on the actors of "Western Journey to the West"."

Xu Bo said: "I also hope to be able to design the character elements of these "Westward Journey", but the film company and NetEase will definitely not agree. If there is a lawsuit at that time..."

Li Mu smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry about the bold design, then I will directly let these actors authorize us to make their cartoon characters and put them in the game. Besides this, I can even let them personally participate in the production of the game. , such as audio recording and video recording, and also allow them to participate in the promotion of the game, as long as the character names and plot settings do not misappropriate elements of "Western Journey to the West", there will be no problem."

When Xu Bo heard this, his expression immediately became excited, and he blurted out, "That's great! I'll start writing the game architecture according to your request today!"

Li Mu nodded and asked him, "Do you have any ideas about the name of the game you've conceived?"

Xu Bo said almost without thinking, "Fantasy Westward Journey!"
