Reborn multinational giant

Amidst the warm applause, President Ma gently raised his hand, and the executives were quiet, and everyone looked at him intently.

This long-lost feeling made President Ma feel comfortable, and he also added a bit of confidence when he spoke:

“I’m not tired of telling how important the game business is to Huizhong. Last month, Huizhong took control of Valve, which is equivalent to indirect control of Steam globally. Huizhong’s game business has reached a new level. Even because of this, It also caused stockholders and investors to panic sell our stocks.

However, in my opinion, we currently do not have any business overseas, and Huizhong's move to target the international market will not affect us much.

On the contrary, we may be able to take advantage of it and bring it back!"

In the respectful eyes of the executives, President Ma continued to explain:

"The overseas game market has always been in the pockets of several major game manufacturers in Europe and the United States. If Huizhong wants to expand Steam globally, it will inevitably offend these game manufacturers.

In the past, Valve, EA, Blizzard and other major game companies have been making game platforms. Although Steam has a certain lead in the number of games and the number of players, the market share of the major companies has not been greatly affected. The company just reached a cleverly balanced relationship.

But after Huizhong holds Valve, it will be different. With Huizhong behind, Steam will inevitably develop rapidly in the world. With the lessons learned from Steam China, it is impossible for several major manufacturers to allow Steam to grow globally.

However, everyone knows that these overseas game manufacturers have been making games with peace of mind, and in terms of capital, operation, soft power, etc., they are unable to fight Huizhong. Therefore, this gives us Tencent a way to cooperate with these big manufacturers. Opportunity to operate their games as agents in China!"

President Ma’s speech caused executives sitting to nod frequently. However, some executives expressed doubts about President Ma’s overconfident remarks:

"We have been acting as an agent for overseas companies' games. What is the difference between what you said and the past?"

President Ma nodded and explained:

"We have indeed been acting as agents in the past, but there are several major game companies overseas. They simply look down on the Chinese market and are unwilling to cooperate with us. Although the current Chinese game market has surpassed the United States to become the world's largest single game market, these Manufacturers have been staring at developed countries in Europe and the United States, short-sighted, rested on their laurels, thinking that they have money to make money, they don't want to make progress.

Well now, Huizhong hit their doorstep and began to grab food from their mouths. If they don't want to wait and die, cooperating with us to expand the Chinese market is one of the best choices.

In addition, several domestic companies such as Perfect and NetEase also have considerable cooperative relations with several major overseas manufacturers. As long as we make some concessions on the initiative of sharing and operation, we can completely grab these cooperations with our strength. !"

General Manager Ma further explained that the executives present suddenly became enlightened and won the approval of many executives.

"I think this proposal is good. Now in China, it is perfect because of Steam China. The life of these game companies like NetEase is not easy. There is already a trend of merger and integration in the market.

If only two game companies survive in the market, then we, Tencent, must be one of them. Our QQ has strong publishing capabilities and traffic monetization capabilities on the PC side, and it is most suitable for publishing large-scale terminal games produced by these major manufacturers!"

"Yes, although the growth rate of the end game market has slowed in the past two years, the end game is still the most profitable business in the entire game industry. Huizhong relies on the massive number of games on Steam China to attract users. We only need to issue a few large-scale The end game and the boutique strategy can still attract and retain users."

In the voices of approval and flattering among the executives, Ren Yuxin, head of Tencent's game business, suddenly said:

"I have a question. Why do we think that these big overseas game companies will definitely cooperate with us instead of cooperating with Huizhong. You know, Huizhong's ability to distribute terminal games is not weaker than ours, and they are also very It is possible to choose to cooperate with Huizhong!"

Hearing what he said, many executives present laughed out loud. Fortunately, you are still the person in charge of the game business. You don’t even understand this simple truth. No wonder Tencent’s game business has been suppressed by Huizhong in recent years. Unable to look up, even President Ma, who made this suggestion, frowned slightly at this time, obviously dissatisfied with Ren Yuxin asking such a naive question.

"I said Mr. Ren, do you really do not understand or pretend to be confused, let alone Huizhong Holdings Valve, the full internationalization of the game business will take away the players and market share of these big manufacturers, just say that the arrogance of these overseas game manufacturers And long-term development, who would be willing to become an ordinary game provider on the Steam platform.

If these manufacturers go to cooperate with the steam platform and lose the ability to independently publish and operate games, then Huizhong will not be caught in the neck. Huizhong will give him as many users as he wants, and want to give him a few achievements. How much!"

An executive smiled and explained to Ren Yuxin that other executives here also agreed with his views. The larger the company, the more important it is for their independence and autonomy, and they don’t want their lifeline to be in the hands of others. EA, Ubisoft and other major game companies have never released games on the Steam platform for this reason.

Ren Yuxin didn't pay attention to the ridicule of the executives. He frowned and stopped talking.

What the executives can think of, he, the person in charge of the game business, would naturally want it, but instinctively told him that with the ingenuity of the general Huizhong, it is impossible to think of these problems and "hidden dangers", but the sum of Fang and Huizhong What are the layout and countermeasures for this?Ren Yuxin never understood!

He was trying to explain his confusion clearly when President Ma in the main seat suddenly waved his hand and said:

"Okay, well, since everyone has no objection, we will follow this general direction for our work arrangements for a period of time in the future. These days I will hold separate meetings with each department, especially the game department, Yuxin!"

When Mr. Ma called Ren Yuxin, he was still a little distracted. Mr. Ma frowned slightly. From the bottom of his heart, he became more and more dissatisfied with Ren Yuxin. In the past few years, Tencent’s two most losing businesses were mobile social networking and the other. It is the game business. Ma always feels that he should consider changing a game business person in charge. This time such a major strategic plan is almost all related to the game business. He will never allow it and lose again!

"Yuxin, after you have been busy with the company in the past few years, I have seen it in my eyes. During this time, you should take a vacation first, and leave it to Xiaoguang first for work matters!" The position of Ren Yuxin.

There was a dead silence in the conference room, and the only two voices that could be heard were Ren Yuxin's wry laugh and the rough voice of Mr. Ma's confidant sitting in the last position.

His name is Yao Xiaoguang, the person in charge of Tencent's Linlang Tianshang Studio, including games such as "QQ Speed", "Dragon in the Sky", and "Inverse War" are his masterpieces!
