During the most difficult time a few years ago, he didn't even have 300,000 yuan in his pocket, let alone 300 million.

Later, Jiang Rongfa felt like he was walking at night in brocade clothes. He couldn't show off but still felt uncomfortable, so he said: "Mr. Lu, are we sure we won't do any publicity now? I think the 300 million investment in the 3D engine is a very good selling point.

, if we start promoting and preheating now, we can gain popularity in advance.”

Lu Yiming said: "It's too early to promote now. The Internet has no memory. If you promote today, they will forget about it tomorrow. Unless you are bombarded with ads every day, it will not only be costly, but also easily cause resentment among users."

For the online game "Wizard", Lu Yiming asked Jiang Rongfa to develop it based on the future "The Cold Water" and "A Chinese Ghost Story". It incorporated a large number of ancient Xia Kingdom elements into the creation.

In terms of gameplay, it is absolutely impeccable.

Of course, Lu Yiming does not intend to engage in any "money-for-breathing arena". "Wizard" is still the same as "Legend of Blood", focusing on point card charging.

Lu Yiming has high hopes for this masterpiece, which is Junzi Interactive Entertainment’s super trump card to compete head-on with Blizzard’s “World of Warcraft”.

Precisely because it is a trump card, Lu Yiming does not want to play it out too quickly now.

Jiang Rong was relieved, but still a little unsure, and said: "Mr. Lu, is it too risky for the company to spend 300 million to make a game? If this game loses money, I'm afraid the sky will fall."

Jiang Rongfa's calves were trembling at the thought of this possibility.

Lu Yiming complained: "I paid for all the money, you are useless. Just play the game honestly and focus on the effect. Don't think about money."

"Legend of Hot Blood" helped Lu Yiming make a lot of money. The profit from this alone was more than enough to develop "The Wizard".

And the most important thing is that Blizzard's masterpiece "World of Warcraft" is coming, and at this time, no online game in Xia Kingdom can compete with it.

If you don’t occupy the high ground of culture, it will be occupied by others.

What's more, making online games is actually very profitable, so rather than letting foreigners make all the money, Lu Yiming felt that he should also take a share of the pie.

Jiang Rongfa felt at ease and said, "Okay, since you said so, Mr. Lu, then I will focus on games."

Just after talking about work with Jiang Rongfa, Lu Yiming received a call from Jack Ma.

"Hey, Mr. Lu, are you in Zhonghai? I'm here. Let's have dinner together tonight?"

Lu Yiming said without hesitation: "Okay, I will fly to Zhonghai even if you treat me."

In the evening, the two met in a high-end restaurant. Lu Yiming saw Jack Ma with a pair of panda eyes and a haggard look on his face. He was suddenly surprised and asked: "What's wrong?"

Jack Ma sighed and said: "Didn't a female employee of Alibaba be found to have fever symptoms before? After that, more than 500 employees in the company were immediately declared to be 'home quarantined', and even the company's normal operations were interrupted.

How unlucky do you think I am?"

Speaking of this, Jack Ma was also frightened at the moment: "Fortunately, it's over now and nothing happened. At that time, I was really afraid that the company would disappear. That time was simply the biggest challenge since I started my business."

Ali's current development can be considered to be on the fast track.

Due to the previous special period, normal business contacts and exhibition transactions were completely interrupted. Many companies could only rely on the Internet to maintain contacts and find business opportunities. Therefore, Alibaba's traffic unexpectedly increased significantly.

Majek also took the opportunity to let the Taobao project show its face in the e-commerce field.

However, unlike what many people imagined, Majek was not playing Tianhu at this time, but was holding a bad hand.

Because of the current Internet, there are many e-commerce companies. Although most of their peers have been eliminated in the Internet cold wave, none of them may survive, but none of them are easy to mess with.

Among them, the dominant player in Xia’s C2C field is eBay, which was developed based on the eBay model.

At this time, eBay was not simple and had already monopolized more than 90% of the market share in the C2C field.

On August 18, 1999, when eBay was first established, the company had only a two-bedroom residence in Zhonghai. Founders Shao Yibo and Tan Haiyin were the only two employees of the company at that time.

But in May 2000, eBay successfully acquired the 5291 mobile phone direct sales network and launched online mobile phone sales, making this business one of eBay's features, with 3.5 million registered users.

In March of last year, eBay, the world's largest e-commerce website, invested US$30 million to form a strategic partnership with eBay. Under the massive publicity, more and more Xiaguo netizens chose Convenient and Quick.

Online shopping with more choices and relatively low prices has led to eBay's great development.

In fact, in the original history, in June 2003, eBay would fully control eBay with US$150 million.

But it's already August, and eBay hasn't taken action yet.

The reason is naturally that the acquisition of Paypal was blocked, which forced eBay to focus on the North American market, and Lu Yiming disrupted its original development pace.

Jack Ma sighed and said: "eBay is so powerful now, I'm afraid I can't compete."

Lu Yiming comforted him and said, "Actually, you don't have to take eBay to heart."

Jack Ma suddenly raised his head and asked: "Why?"

Could it be said that Lu Yiming has a way to defeat eBay?

Lu Yiming said: "Because eBay is coming soon, eBay is expected to be acquired soon, and then your opponent will be eBay. How about it? Are you very excited?"

Jack Ma: “???”
