Chapter 1075 Lin Wei's Unconventional Approach

Time passed quickly with the topic, and Boss Zhang and Qiu Bosong talked very harmoniously, but Lin Wei seemed to be a little hesitant during the conversation.

So after the dinner, the other party seemed a little presumptuous to keep Yang Dongxu. Boss Zhang looked at Lin Wei and said nothing.

Instead, he was going to find a place to talk to Qiu Bosong about the film and television website in detail. He saw that Yang Dongxu wanted 361 to cooperate with Sohu instead of Rising Sun Technology. And this cooperation was undoubtedly Qiu Bosong's sole responsibility.

So the group left quickly with their own things, and only Yang Dongxu and Lin Wei were left in the box.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly?" Yang Dongxu looked at Lin Wei with a little curiosity in his eyes.

After all, colleagues are enemies. Although it is not time to fight to the death, the two sides do not seem to be so harmonious that they can meet privately to discuss things.

"MM recently launched a new feature, users can pay to choose their own MM avatars, and dress up their own avatars." Lin Wei said.

Yang Dongxu showed a hint of surprise on his face, not surprised that MM actually found this profit model. He had known about this matter for a long time, as he had been following the development of MM and CC.

And this was not MM's original idea. Paying for virtual characters to dress up was the first idea of ​​a small Korean website, but the effect was not very good and it was a failed example.

However, this method is undoubtedly a good idea for MM and CC, because they have enough user base. Even if only a few percent of users pay, it is a very considerable income. He was surprised at how Lin Wei talked to him about this matter.

"In order to facilitate the development of this project, MM and CC have plans to set up their own payment system, and negotiate with Jiucheng. In the future, players and users will use their payment software for online consumption." Lin Wei continued to speak.

Yang Dongxu couldn't help but frowned. He really hadn't heard the news. It was not surprising that Lin Wei knew that he had a close relationship with Alipay and even speculated that he might be a shareholder of Alipay.

After all, when Xuri Technology was just established and only had the "Legend" project, 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 gets for using Alipay, it is definitely lower than that of people in the same industry, or even extremely low.

In addition, Alipay has been importing users to Xuri Technology from the beginning, just like treating its own son. If you don’t know the relationship between the two companies, then you have a brain problem.

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 link.

Now MM and CC are actually going to get their own payment methods, and have begun to contact game companies so that they can use their payment software for internal consumption in the future. This is undoubtedly that Parkson Technology and Feixun Technology are preparing to join forces to stab Yang Dongxu in the heart.

Yang Dongxu is not surprised at all that communication software companies have established their own payment methods. After all, in the last life, when Penguin had not yet produced any representative games, it was best at letting users open various memberships and various diamonds.

In Yang Dongxu’s impression, when he had not used Alipay yet. He started using QQ’s Tenpay, but later Alipay came out and swept the Internet with a crushing posture. All kinds of payment software dominated the world.

But then, after WeChat Pay came out, it fought a good turnaround. In short, online payment methods were very lively in the last life, and one after another came on stage.

Yang Dongxu thought that he would definitely have various competitors in the virtual payment market, such as eBay, which is very active in foreign countries. In recent years, it has been eager to move into the domestic market, which made Yang Dongxu, a shareholder of eBay, extremely embarrassed at times.

But he did not expect that competitors would appear so early, and they did not appear in the game and online shopping industries, but the communication software companies took the lead. Is it to prove the old saying: "The one who kills you may not be your peers, but may be cross-border?"

Especially since the rise of Alipay, UnionPay seems to have a new understanding of this new payment method, and it is curious and vigilant at the same time.

So in recent years, it is not that no one has seen the cake of the payment industry, but they are stuck in UnionPay without a license. Therefore, MM and CC, relying on their huge user base, plus good golden ideas like avatar show, took the opportunity to get the payment software up. There are not only the shadows of the two technology companies in this, but someone is going to make trouble.

"Aren't you happy to see competitors? Only with competitiveness can you enjoy better cost-effectiveness." Yang Dongxu's mind turned over many possibilities and conspiracy theories for a while, but he said lightly 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, so now it's better to just acquiesce.

"Competition can indeed promote the healthy development of the industry, but the premise is that companies have enough freedom to choose." Lin Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

More choices in the payment field are naturally good for game companies like them. After all, this is not Alipay's decision to give a commission, and they have other options and 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 Ninetowns Game Company in Lin Wei's hands. 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 getting married. Naturally, he has to pay a high price to get the princess.

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 biting 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. Taking down Ninetowns for official certification and publishing is definitely much better than pushing 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 game now. It is still as popular as "If you are a brother, come and chop me" more than ten years later.

In addition, his severe crackdown on piracy and plug-ins is even more long-lived, not to mention that he has evergreen games such as "Fantasy Westward Journey". And the absolute advantage of taking action in advance for various popular games in the future.

If he is surpassed by Jiucheng because of a diversion, he can just find a piece of tofu and kill himself and reincarnate.

However, Yang Dongxu is not interested in the issue of cooperation now, and Qiu Bosong can talk about it. He is a little interested in Lin Wei.

You must know that Lin Wei is only the CEO of Jiucheng, not the boss, and she only has the stock options of the CEO position in her hands. She is not even a shareholder, and at most she only has the stock options dividends.

So for such a seemingly glorious position, but not so free in China, the other party can actually find him as a competitor and use such a sword to take a different approach. The person in front of him has talents that are comparable to her appearance, or even surpass her beautiful appearance.

After all, taking an unconventional approach is synonymous with risk, and those shareholders are not so easy to convince.
