My Wealth is like a Deep Sea

Hanging up the video, Yang Long also finished his breakfast.

At this time, Yun Qi took a folder and came over.

"Go to the branch office today! Or the company that Modu is acquired by us locally, you just pick two!"

In her information, there is only one A4 paper, which is all the subsidiaries of Zhongdu Branch in Modu, of which 13 were recently acquired.

Yang Long looked at all the subsidiaries in this document, and finally pointed out casually: "Just this Wanyou Technology! What are they doing?"

"Also developed games!"

Yun Qi said, "This company is a relatively old subsidiary of Sanyun. It was first affiliated with Sohu. At that time, as the top portal in China, Sohu entered the gaming industry for the first time and established this Wanyou Technology subsidiary. And launched the first self-developed 2.5D online game "Break the World", and became a big player in the game industry. Unfortunately, it is now the bottom of the industry. The annual net profit is not even one tenth of Tianyu Interactive Entertainment!"

"So low?"

Yang Longhu suspiciously said, "Why hasn't this company been dissolved yet?"

The game "Breaking the World", Yang Long's memory was seen in an internet cafe in elementary school. At that time, there were indeed many people playing it. As a game that relies on equipment to collect money, it was called the free game, and those points of the year. The difference between card-paid games does occupy a large share in the market and attracts countless players.

At that time, how could players be so mature now, every time a new game came out, they would have to indulge for several days, and some would even fall into it directly and become a loyal player.

The game operation earns the money of these loyal old players, especially the local tyrants among these players. There are more than one million in a game.

However, Yang Long is not among them.

At that time, he was young and had only a few visits to Internet cafes. Every time he went, he tried new games. Unlike the heavy players who spend a lot of time in Internet cafes, he can play a game for a long time. .

And he was at the time when CF was hot, the operation was simple, the deforestation was decisive, the speed of each round was also fast, and it was more exciting.

Facing Yang Long's doubts, Yun Qi gave the answer: "Wang Tao, the general manager of Wanyou Technology, is also the vice president of Sanyun Group. Out of this relationship, this company has not been disbanded, and..."

Yun Qi paused, but did not continue to speak down, but directly took out the tablet and said: "You should first understand the history of Wanyou Technology! At present, Sohu still has 10% of the shares in this company. However, it is currently temporarily managed by the Sanyun Group."

Yang Long knows very little about these companies in the gaming industry.

Let him say that he only knows that Teng Xun and Wang Yi are very powerful. Foreign companies such as Fist and Blue Hole are very successful. There are also Blizzard, Company A and some Korean online game companies that are well-known.

After receiving the tablet from Yun Qi, Yang Long looked carefully at Wanyou Technology.

Since the establishment of Wanyou, the general manager was Wang Tao. At that time, he also served as the general manager of the game investment department of Sohu. According to the data, it was not until 2009 that he completely resigned as the general manager of the game department of Sohu. The second month of this post, Wanyou Technology actually went public on the Nasdaq.

"Unexpectedly, it is still a listed company!"

In this way, it is not difficult for Yang Long to understand why Wanyou Technology has not disbanded, and the equity structure of listed companies is more complicated. At this time, Sanyun Group also invested in Wanyou, and there are many foreign companies. .

"Ok?"

But after seeing 14 years, Yang Long wondered, "How did you get out of the market?"

The data did not specify the reasons for the delisting, but Yang Long could also guess that seven or eight points were either not good performance, not optimistic about investors, or the stock price plummeted, so he was forced to delist.

"Private delisting is a decision made by the Sanyun Group and an important indicator of the wholly-owned acquisition of Sanyun. At that time, Wanyou's performance was not good, and Sohu decided to abandon it, so the Sanyun Department took over. After delisting, The equity of other shareholders has also been fully taken over by the Sanyun Group."

Although Yun Qi's statement is not shown in the information, it involves the company's internal confidentiality, and it is a long time ago, and many things may be a mess.

Although the fox does not want to, but still retains 10% of the equity.

The reason for this is also for the copyright of the game, because many game copyrights under Wanyou still have IP value.

For example, "Break Through the World", Wanyou is now planning to make a mobile game. If the market effect is good after the launch and the number of players is considerable, sweeping fox can still take a slice of the soup.

Although "Break Through the World" is not very good now, it was also a fruit of independent research and development that lasted for three years.

From game architecture to content gameplay, from character design to action model... uh, they all imitated, borrowed, and merged some of the hottest online games of the year. "Westward Journey", "Fantasy Westward Journey", and "World of Warcraft" were almost The popular online game elements come in a big collection, like a furnace, thrown into the brain to burn, and then poured out "Break Through the World", and the company also tasted the sweetness from it.

At that time, "Big Story", "Dream" and "Warcraft" are all time-charged point card models, the threshold for the average poor player is very high, and "Break Through the World" permanently free model came out immediately attracted this A batch of poor players, but these people can participate in various rewarding activities in the game from morning to night.

At that time, a cool magic resistance ring was hit in the game, which could make players happy for a week.

It wasn't until later that a system that could buy equipment with enough money was charged, the game gradually moved towards the pole/end of cutting leeks, but there are also many merchants in the game that make a fortune through various means.

Some people also made a lot of money by making plugins.

This also directly led to rampant play inside and outside the game, Krypton Gold Countless, even can not play without opening the plug-in without money, greatly punishing the sense of participation of normal players.

An industry tycoon once said: "Free players are the benefits for paying players."

In the later period of "Breaking Through the World", normal players have become the welfare of the game mechanism to open players, just like low-level NPCs.

As of today, "Break Through the World" is still operating normally, with more than a dozen servers.

And in the next few years, Wanyou also launched "Break Through the World (Second Edition)", which is directly embedded with mosaics. Players can directly select the PVP mode and enter the highest level, which can arbitrarily destroy the originally difficult NPC monster Boss.

Not only that, but also "Break Through the World (Green Edition)", "Break Through the World (Nostalgic Edition)", "Break Through the World (Infinite Fire Edition)".

It's just the original game, changed its name and changed its mechanism.

If Wanyou simply changed a game into several versions, it would be too underestimated.

In fact, several games that Wanyou launched later were skin-changing versions of "Break Through the World".

After "Breaking Through the World", Wanyou launched the second hottest online game in the company's history-"Aura of Doom".

That's right, this game is based on the first Divine Book of the Nets, "The Sky of Doom".

The information in Yang Long's hand clearly states that the investment limit of this game is as high as 80 million.
