Chapter 520 The Real Threshold of the Game Industry

Just when Wu Tao was about to get straight to the point with Wang Donglai, the doorbell rang again.

Xue Jiaqian immediately got up to open the door, but Qin Xiaoxiao who was well-dressed was ushered in.

"Boss Qin?"

Wu Tao stretched out his head and waved: "Come in and sit down, I won't go out today, I have wronged you guys."

Qin Xiaoxiao walked in holding Xue Jiaqian's shoulders, and said with a sweet smile: "Boss, you should have said it earlier, I thought I could rub you in a Rolls-Royce for a while, and it was a waste of me dressing up for so long..."

Speaking of sitting down, Xue Jiaqian took the initiative to pour her a cup of tea and said, "Boss Qin, we are to blame for this matter. Donglai and I came to the door rashly and disrupted your plan."

Wu Tao waved his hands and said, "The two of you came here without being rash at all. You obviously want to go with me. And sister Xiaoxiao's outfit is clearly not for Rolls-Royce, she is obviously planning to drive herself Ferrari."

After a round of jokes, the four of them decisively got to the point.

Wu Tao took out all the materials that Shi Qianxue had returned from research these days, and by the way, put the planning book with only the framework and title in front of everyone.

He picked up the tea and took a few sips, leaving time for the three of them to browse and digest.

"Boss, are you making another big move?" Qin Xiaoxiao was the first to scan the documents in hand, and put them down. As for the rest of the detailed content, Wu Tao did not let her see it, and she would not touch it.

This can also be regarded as a kind of professional ethics. I have a ruler in my heart about what I should know and what I shouldn't know.

Wang Donglai and the two were still looking at the materials, so Wu Tao asked Qin Xiaoxiao first, "Why, are you still so pessimistic about the Internet industry?"

After all, Qin Xiaoxiao's previous investment in NetEase 163 was not positive. So Wu Tao asked this question.

As soon as Qin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, she abandoned her subjective consciousness and said objectively: "From the financial report fed back by Mr. Ding recently, and our financial investigation and follow-up, the operation of that small Internet company, Netease, is indeed gradually improving."

"...The VIP mailbox business has met the needs of users; and the launch of web advertisements is also on the right path. So my previous opinion was indeed a bit conservative."

Wu Tao waved his hand, "The situation at that time, from your standpoint, there is nothing wrong with it."

Naturally, it is impossible to blame anyone for this matter. After all, as the leader of an investment company, it is not a bad thing to be more stable.

As for the matter of forging ahead, it is enough to have a subordinate like Xue Jiaqian.

The two of them had just finished chatting, and Wang Donglai also put down the materials over there.

As for Xue Jiaqian, she had already put down the information, but this time she knew that she was not the protagonist, so she chose not to speak to avoid stealing the limelight from her man.

Wang Donglai's reaction was very cautious and subtle, "Boss, I can feel that the game industry is a sunrise industry. I have also heard Jiaqian talk about Mr. Ding's NetEase case. And I think that the game industry in the future should be It has more potential than Mr. Ding's Internet business."

Wu Tao drank his tea, nodded, and motioned for the other party to continue.

Although Wang Donglai has kept a low profile for several years, the foreign ink in his stomach is still there. Immediately holding the information, he talked eloquently: "Mr. Ding's Internet business, if it continues to develop, the first threshold is the payment items and payment channels."

"...Only by identifying the payment point of Internet users and establishing a convenient and reliable payment channel can we achieve healthy development, like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger."

"...This point is the same for the game industry." Wang Donglai's thinking is very clear, "but for the game industry, in addition to the threshold of user payment, it is largely limited to the coverage of the domestic Internet and the computer network. penetration rate."

Wu Tao fully agrees with these two thresholds.

Wang Donglai's ability to point out these two points in such a short period of time has already proved his ability and vision. However, Wu Tao still intends to test how far his thinking has diverged, "How about it?"

With such a question, not only Xue Jiaqian, but even Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frowned.

Obviously they didn't think too deeply about Wu Tao's questioning.

Wang Donglai clasped his hands together and said in thought: "Boss, then let me talk about the first threshold, the issue of payment."

Wu Tao nodded, and Wang Donglai continued with great encouragement: "The payment threshold is facing various problems. First of all, it is impossible to directly copy Blizzard Entertainment's game profit model to China. The difference is that the Chinese people Lack of copyright awareness, I dare say that even if Blizzard Entertainment directly sells game discs in China, it will probably end in dismal."

"...Because most of the customers in the domestic game industry are young people, even students, their ability to pay is limited after all, and they don't have the ability to consume genuine products at all."

"...But with the launch of Blizzard Entertainment's Skynet business, I have a little inspiration. Is it possible to change a charging channel and put it online? That is, it is free in the early stage, and the threshold for charging is based on the user's perception of the game. After dependence."

Hearing this, Wu Tao couldn't help but exclaimed, "Well said!"

As a reborn person, Wu Tao is naturally familiar with these things, after all, he has experienced them.

However, without such a background, Wang Donglai can think so deeply, which is already rare.

This just proves that he made the right choice.

When Wang Donglai saw Wu Tao's reaction, he said with embarrassment: "It's just that I don't have an idea about how to collect it and how to collect it."

"It's not your fault." Wu Tao waved his hand, "It's rare for you to think that the payment threshold is in the door."

Then he explained in detail without hiding his secrets: "In fact, we can set payment items through in-game props or level difficulty. As for payment channels, it can be realized by selling game points in the short term. In the long run, I am afraid that we need to develop a A safe and reliable online payment method..."

This can be regarded as a word to wake up the dreamer.

When Wang Donglai heard the words, he said immediately: "Boss, your brain can't be compared with the three of us combined."

"Really." Xue Jiaqian and Qin Xiaoxiao also agreed.

"Come on less!" Wu Tao stared at him and scolded with a smile, "Put on my hat again."

Qin Xiaoxiao brushed her hair from her sideburns and said, "Boss, I have a question for the second threshold. According to the current domestic Internet coverage and computer popularity, isn't it too early for your game industry?"

"...After all, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. No matter how strong Donglai's business ability is, it's useless if she lacks the soil for business development."

Wu Tao smiled, but did not answer, but directly threw the question to Wang Donglai and Xue Jiaqian.

Wang Donglai really didn't have an answer, and his brows were wrinkled. On the contrary, Xue Jiaqian was a little uncertain: "Boss, do you probably have an idea to catalyze the development of the entire industry, just like investing in the business of United Communications last time?"

"...But Internet coverage can probably be catalyzed to make a fuss, but the popularization of computers is closely related to the consumption power of ordinary people. I don't think there is any solution to this."

Wu Tao didn't say much, he just mentioned, "Recently, there is an Inspur computer on Xiangnan Road, you probably haven't paid attention to it?"

"Computer?" Wang Donglai's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he slapped his thigh and said, "I thought of it..."
