Chapter 629: Let them do

The former penguin company had a game business, and eventually became one of the global game industry giants, the leader of the China game industry.
What it relies on is Penguin's more powerful promotion ability, even precision promotion ability.
Many web ads that cost tens of millions are not as good as a penguin pop-up window. And Penguin is also the developer and operator of the largest instant messaging software in China and even Asia, which is the bottom line.
But that was in the previous life. In this life, Huaxia already had Battle.net. The online battle platform developed by Blizzard Entertainment, a subsidiary of North American Zhiduoxing Holdings, was promoted and operated by Zhiduoxing Group Headquarters on the Huaxia side.
Another online game battle platform appeared last year, which is also able to turn some LAN games into Internet battle games, and it is completely free.
Battle.net requires a time card. Although it will give one hour a day, it is not enough. With a completely free platform, it will naturally become more popular.
However, this platform hasn't existed for a long time, and it gradually became uninterested, because the first thing to log in to this platform is to register, not to mention, it is also easy to freeze, and the game experience is very poor.
When playing games, the most irritating thing is the lagging. Many times, it is clear that they want to win, but one lagging results in the whole game losing. It feels like I want to smash the computer.
Others said that if you download this free platform, there will always be some Trojans connected, your own Penguin has been stolen, and your own legendary account has not been stolen, and the equipment inside has been stolen~~ light.
Zhiduoxing didn't shoot, and the free battle platform was over. However, this also reminds the Zhiduoxing Group that there will be the first one, and there will be the second one. If Battle.net charges are still so high, I am afraid competitors will emerge one after another.
So Sun Tengfei communicated with Blizzard's Allen, and everyone decided to reduce the cost. The time given each day is changed to two hours, which is enough for ordinary players.
But if you want to play often, you still have to pay, but the cost is also reduced by half compared to the original, in order to deal with those free platforms that may continue to appear.
At the same time, it is also publicized on the Internet. Are those free platform development free of money? Does it cost money to operate? Where do they make money?
If you don’t want money, it means that they have no legal binding relationship with the player. If you are hit by a Trojan horse, someone else uses a plug-in, the platform will not control it, and any problems will have nothing to do with the platform.
Battle.net charges, but Battle.net is also responsible for ensuring that others cannot use the plug-in and can not be abused, and will also optimize the program to ensure the smoothness of the game.
Zhang Yang even talked to Allen and directly purchased the entire Battle.net, and later made Blizzard concentrate on developing the game. After all, Blizzard's game platform operation is relatively weak, and in fact all the people responsible for the Zhiduoxing Group.
Allen is still thinking about it, Ma Huateng is going to compete with Zhiduoxing Group again.
...
"President, how can a penguin company make a gaming platform? If they do, will they make web games and do web-based games in the future? Or do they represent online games developed by other companies?"
"Chistar Group is the majority shareholder of Penguin Company. Although they are not controlling shareholders, should they respect it? Without the investment of Chistar Group, can Penguin Company develop to the present?"
"Furthermore, as long as you stand up to compete for the position of Penguin's chairman and you are not ready, other shareholders will support you."
Sun Tengfei was the most resistant to Penguin's game platform. He is responsible for the game business of Zhiduoxing Group. He does not want other competitors to appear.
If it is Nintendo and other game platforms to become the Chinese market, he will definitely let the other party leave with a blood loss. But Penguin, let's not say that the other party has hundreds of millions of users, or is it an enterprise invested by Zhiduoxing Group, who beats himself?
"Why, do you think this market can't be done by others? Well, have you thought about it? There are many companies in this market. Instead of letting outsiders do it, let Penguin do it. We can still maintain healthy competition."
Sun Tengfei pointed to the line on the document and said: "President, look at it. We have chess and card games and casual sports games on the battle network. They are now going to launch chess and card games and casual games. This is healthy competition. ?"
"We opened the market together, and they want to come in and have a share? If Penguin accepts our holding, it's almost the same."
If you become a controlling subsidiary of Zhiduoxing Group, then of course there is no problem. You can even integrate Battle.net into Penguin. Anyway, there have been many cooperations before. Battle.net’s official customer service platform in China also has a Penguin customer service number. .
But Penguin has many other investors, which makes Sun Tengfei unhappy.
He also knows that it is unlikely that the holding penguin company is ready to raise funds for listing, and will no longer raise funds before the listing, and those shareholders will not sell the stock before the listing.
What's more, Ma Huateng and other founders have high voting rights, and the president has expressed support for Ma Huateng as chairman and president.
But the penguin company can’t go too far, we didn’t compete with you, you compete with us in turn? Can't we make instant messaging software ourselves at the beginning? Can't you invest in other communication software companies? If you invest, can Penguin develop?
"Tengfei, sit down, what's the hurry?" Zhang Yang pressed Sun Tengfei's shoulders to let him sit down, "You haven't found out that there are many companies developing free game battle platforms now?"
"We will not let Penguin do it~EbookFREE.me~Other companies will do it, and each company will have its own characteristics, and there will also be capital to invest in it, which will affect our income."
"We are a paid platform, and the Penguin game platform is completely free, which is not the same as ours. Their plan is to launch some value-added services, such as letting players krypton gold to increase revenue."
"While we are gradually reducing fees such as time cards, the subsequent monetization methods are advertisements and game ads. We can also choose some krypton gold services, such as changing the time card to a member, recharge the member, and do not need the time card. You can play at any time and get some props from chess and cards."
"In a region, it is impossible for a company to monopolize its operations. It must always have competitors. Compared to competitors who are strangers, I would rather be a penguin company, at least they will be within market rules."
"Of course, if they use some means other than the rules, then the other's board of directors will be replaced."
"It's very likely that Battle.net will belong to the Zhiduoxing Group. Prepare for it and arrange for someone to take over the overseas assets of Battle.net."
