222. The situation reversal

On September 10, the second Internet Enterprise Summit was held.

The last time was in February 2002, and the second Internet Enterprise Summit was held after two years.

However, this time the situation is quite special. It is no longer led by Kingsoft, but hosted by Bomi Group in the imperial capital.

It still invites more than a dozen famous Internet manufacturers in China.

When Qiu Bojun got off the plane, he saw Cao Yang picking up the plane at the door.

The 40-year-old Qiu Bojun still looked full of energy. When he saw Cao Yang, he looked at him with a reproachful look like a father, and came forward to give Cao Yang a big hug.

Then he patted Cao Yang on the shoulder with his hand.

"Mr. Cao! You're going to have a big deal this time!"

"Hahaha..." Cao Yang laughed loudly, "It's not a big deal. Let's talk about it when we go back. Please, I'll help you get your luggage."

What a big deal about a gaming platform?

Smartphones in the future are the big things.

Qiu Bojun was not polite at all, and seemed very generous and generous. He directly asked Cao Yang, a young man, to help him get his luggage and get into Cao Yang's car with the secretary he brought.

After two years, I suddenly realized it.

Qiu Bojun looked at Cao Yang in the driver's seat from behind, and suddenly felt that the times had changed a little too quickly.

Although the time has only been two years apart, it seems that the position has been reversed.

During the last Internet summit, Kingsoft was the organizer, and Xishanju was still the leader in the industry.

Now even if others compliments them, if they want to call them boss, they can only give in to their age.

Everyone knows that Bomi, who now has an annual income of 3 billion, is the real game leader.

...

Cao Yang arranged for Mr. Qiu to be one of the best and old-fashioned hotels in the imperial capital, the imperial capital Wangfujing Peninsula Hotel located on Wangfujing Street.

This hotel has a relatively long history and has received countless Chinese and foreign celebrities and political leaders.

The cost of one night is about 1,000 yuan.

If it is a high-end suite, it will charge around 2,000 yuan.

In 2004, it was very luxurious.

The problem is that Bomi is rich now and doesn't care about this. The key is that the guests who come must stay comfortably.

After arranging the accommodation, Cao Yang waited in the hotel lobby to ask for the general manager.

He put his suitcase in the hotel, washed his face slightly, and took his secretary down from it.

"Let's go, go to dinner, I'll treat you." Cao Yang said with a smile.

Qiu Bojun was stunned for a moment. Why did this sentence sound so familiar?

"Okay, of course you have to treat you. Bomi's annual income is 3 billion now, so don't you have to treat you?"

"Where is it?" Cao Yang said with a smile, "Please, you are slandering me. We will earn 5 billion next year."

This time it was Qiu Bojun's turn to be stunned for a moment.

"Okay..." He laughed, "I've been doing it for a long time, but my situation is smaller."

...

Cao Yang did not lie. Bomi's revenue exceeded 3 billion last year. This year, there are bonuses from Shanhai Jing, War3 and game platforms. In the future, Shanhai Jing will be launched in Omi. With the original Jin Dance Troupe, Three Kingdoms Online, Chess and Cards revenue, 5 billion should not be out.

Now Bomi has completed the task.

Shanhaijing has almost 1.8 billion yuan in revenue so far, war3 and game platforms are 1.5 billion yuan, and online games have very stable revenues, with an annual revenue of about 1.6 to 2 billion yuan.

Not only is it over 5 billion, but it is also rich.

But the profit is not that high. After removing the cost and deducting taxes, Cao Yang estimated that the total profit Bomi Group would receive was only 1 billion.

If this "Cai" was heard by Qiu Bojun, he would definitely scold Cao Yang for being shameless when he got the advantage.

I had dinner together at night, and I looked at the night outside the window and felt quite moved.

"The last time we ate like this was 2 years ago."

"Yes, I was deeply impressed by it. I ate seafood at that time. Please, you even got me drunk." Cao Yang said with a smile.

"Hahaha... Why do I feel like I'm drunk?" Mr. Qiu tsk his lips, "I had gout for a long time later, so we'll drink less this time."

"Don't I know you yet? Drink less is the amount of white wine." Cao Yang said with a smile.

Several people on the table were amused.

...

After eating for a while, after drinking for three rounds, everyone was a little drunk.

The atmosphere at the wine table was very pleasant.

If you don’t know who these people are, you can’t imagine that they are competitors who can fight for bayonets in the business world, and you will think that Boss Cao, a young man and Mr. Qiu, who is full of energy, are two very good friends.

Even the little secretary who was accompanying him was a little moved.

You say they are friends, are shopping malls like battlefields, and Xishanju looks like Bomi’s strongest competitor in all aspects.

A sword net 2 made a lot of money this year.

It also squeezed out many players from the Dance Group and Three Kingdoms Online.

You said they are not friends, right?

We had such a happy chat, but we were still standing shoulder to shoulder, and we could reach a consensus on many issues.

So-

I will never be a boss in my life.

Boss is not something that ordinary humans can do.

According to Cao Yang's words, this is called heroes cherishing heroes.

The kind that has nothing to do with the position.

Moreover, this time the Internet Enterprise Summit he hosted was originally about discussing cooperation, and it was a very friendly negotiation meeting, so there was no problem with the position.

After chatting for a while, Qiu Bojun looked at Cao Yang and felt like he was a different life.

He was slightly drunk and his face turned red, "Mr. Cao, do you remember the conversation we had when we were drinking together two years ago?"

Cao Yang was lying on the chair, his eyes were blurred, and he felt that he had almost drunk it.

If you drink it, you will really vomit.

It was really uncomfortable to vomit. Cao Yang recalled the previous experience of vomiting, and his stomach was churning.

However, although I feel unwell, my brain is still awake.

"Remember, of course, I remember that I was very direct in my mind. As soon as I came up, I asked me what I think about future games, especially what I think about future stand-alone industry and online games."

At that time, when online games just entered the Chinese market, everyone felt that the situation was about to change.

Online games have a huge impact on stand-alone games, and the fact is that when online games emerged, the stand-alone game market was squeezed strongly.

Because, as Cao Yang analyzed before, online games are a game that seizes time and money, and this kind of game will inevitably seize the living space of other markets because of its exclusiveness.

However, Cao Yang also predicted that with the increase in the number of PC owners in China and the continuous growth of the gaming population, online games and stand-alone games will actually develop in the future.

In fact, the reason for today's Internet summit is because the times have changed again.

This time can be called the counterattack of stand-alone games, or the Renaissance of stand-alone games.

Although it seems that there is not long before the decline of stand-alone games.

Even because of Bomi's success in overseas markets, people have never felt the decline of the stand-alone game market.

"Cao Yang, you are amazing, you're awesome! You're so awesome!" Qiu Bojun raised his glass and said, "Come on, I'll give you a glass."

Cao Yang smiled embarrassedly and touched his cup.

"Dry."

Both of them drank the whole thing.

Then Zhuang Yurou stood up and continued to fill them with wine.

Qiu Bojun seemed extremely excited and happy today, "Cao Yang, you are really foresighted. Everything seems to be developing in the direction you are talking about. Now the domestic game market, whether it is online games or stand-alone games, has its own development and has also found its own development."

Yes, the survival soil of stand-alone games was originally something that Qiu Bojun wanted to make during the first Internet summit, but he never found a plan to implement it.

And now, he saw the answer.

Bomi Group delivered a perfect answer-

The game platform is used to lock and develop users, so that players who like stand-alone games can snowball. As the game continues to develop, this platform will become bigger and bigger.

This is another way of thinking completely different from the closed mind of island countries.

The island country has created barriers to protect the game industry by allowing game consoles. If you want to transplant PCs, you have to pay high costs.

The game platform created by Cao Yang is completely open-ended. It is precisely because of its openness that there is great prospects in the future.

This is the soil that Qiu Bojun has always dreamed of.

In Liu Zhiping's strategic theory, it is called platform ecology.

Moreover, because the game platform is rooted in the Internet, it is actually in conflict with MMOs. Large online games can be sent through the Internet without the need to use the game platform.
