Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 290 This is war

After this episode, Chen Mo felt fine. Lei Jun came to him after learning the news from Hei Yu, "Are you okay?"

"What can happen to me? How can I be caught in the capital? The Hangzhou Ma has really long arms."

Chen Mo was a little disapproving. Then, as a senior strategic consultant of Xiaomi, he was forced onto a plane by Lei Jun like a conscripted man, under the pretext of an inspection trip.

Chen Mo wanted to struggle a bit,
"I've already taken off my pants, and you just say a few words and then you think you can just walk away? Even the third boss of Xiaomi has to work with me for a few days."

Then he was knocked out by Lei Jun's series of moves. Who said that big guys don't act like hooligans? It's because they never act like hooligans in public.

Looking at the densely packed list of companies in Lei Jun's hand, Zhongshan Victory, Huizhou TCL, Suzhou Lexuan, Huiyang East Asia Electronics, Xiaoxun Technology
At a glance, there are dozens of them across the country.
This made Chen Mo's scalp itchy, and he estimated that he would not be able to go home for a while!
Of course, in addition to the two of them, there is also a nearly ten-member inspection team consisting of personnel related to Xiaomi's ecological chain.

In fact, Shunwei had already invested in more than a dozen home appliance industries. After Chen Mo’s training, Lei Jun, who had an epiphany, acted decisively and compiled a list of companies that he had wanted to investigate before.

In addition to inspecting these home appliance companies this time, we will also work with them to establish new subsidiaries to become the moat of Xiaomi's life ecosystem.

In fact, whether Chen Mo is around or not is not the most important factor, and it is not very critical to Lei Jun. Of course, it is better if Chen Mo is around.

Alibaba pays 50 billion yuan in taxes a year and is the face of Hangzhou's Internet companies. Can anyone touch it?
Lei Jun was really worried that this guy would get stubborn and fight Alibaba to the death, causing some trouble. He had witnessed this guy's potential destructiveness.

If Xiaomi continues to provoke two of the BAT companies, and then the other side falls into crisis, it will certainly not be able to stand by and watch. How will Xiaomi deal with it? One move will affect the whole body. After all, Xiaomi is not owned by itself.

So for the sake of safety and peace of mind, he tied Chen Mo to his side as a precautionary measure, and by the way, let him let Xiaomi and other companies to check him.

In fact, Chen Mo knew exactly what Lei Jun was up to. After all, the previous incidents with Bi'an and Tengxun were still fresh in his mind.

But this time, it was useless even if Chen Mo swore to the lamp, because Lei Jun didn't even add a punctuation mark to his words.

In the end, he could only get on the plane with tears in his eyes. Since he could not change the reality after being dragged onto the pirate ship, he could only change himself.

I thought that I was doing nothing in the company, so it was worth the trip to witness the development of Xiaomi Home.
Over the next month, Chen Mo and Lei Jun began a journey of traveling together.
On March 3, when the protective shield of the global server of "Ancient War" Rise of Nations disappeared, the war began to spread to the borders of the major forces in the game.

The regional forces, which had been holding back for a long time, began to stir up disputes and ignite wars like ascetic macho men. The firepower was like red wine plus a small blue bottle, and it went on and on.

Even with a kryptonian in charge, having top combat power can easily become a typical example of ants devouring elephants.

Plunder, fighting, friction, and struggle are followed by massive expansion of resources and territory.

In Rise of Nations, the desires in people's hearts are like tigers out of a cage, and nothing can stop them except the enemy forces.

People can transplant things that are impossible to do in the real world into the virtual world. As long as you have money and connections, you will become a hegemon and dominate a region.

The interests of people, alliances, forces and forces are intertwined. The combat power value representing each person in the game can no longer be the only criterion.

The heroes also need to unite all the forces that can be united and start their journey to dominate the world.

As the day went by, red lines flashed frequently on the edges of the territories of the major forces. If you zoomed in, you would find that they were tribes or towns that were set on fire by war.
And these are just the initial tests between the major forces.
Of course, there are also some who don’t play by the rules. The Huaxia Alliance directly sent out its entire army to attack and beat up any disobedient children!

On the first day, the Huaxia Alliance unified the game with lightning speed, and then used the opponent's force to their advantage and concentrated fire to live a pretty good life. The people in this game who had been clamoring every day within the safety line before.

That's right, even though Japan said before that it would resist the ancient war and beware of cultural invasion,

There are people who are against it. How can we, the Dahe people, stay in a corner and be under the control of others for a long time? It is time to let the world see our true strength~~~
After the appeal, some opponents found that there were more Ancient War players. What was going on? Many people also entered the game to see what was going on. As a result, they could not get out once they entered. It was like entering their traditional entertainment industry. Once they entered AUV, it was like entering a deep sea. When they looked back, they felt that they had been alive for a hundred years.
Of course, the above arguments are all hype created by the game developers in Japan. After all, if no one plays the game, they will be the ones who suffer.

As a result, when the game was launched, the number of players in Japan far exceeded people's expectations.
Even though the number of Japanese players exceeded expectations, due to innate factors, these people jumped back and forth in the first half of the month. As a result, as soon as the protective shield disappeared, they were beaten like a grandson by the Eastern Giant.

China is facing harassment from Southeast Asia and the Middle East to the west, and all its firepower is thrown to the east as if it is free, with the main goal of "turning the world around", whoever hits me, I will hit you back!

If the Japanese distributor hadn't quickly unplugged the Internet, posted an emergency maintenance statement, and hung up a physical white-hot sign, it would have probably been swallowed up in a day.

At this time, the forces on the other side of the ocean reacted quickly. They didn't expect that someone would go crazy and go all-in as soon as they came up.

But they know a little bit of history and think it is understandable.

The situation was barely maintained by forming alliances to gain benefits, urgently recruiting personnel through sea and air transport, and forming an alliance between the three major forces of Neon, Goryeo, and Da Piaoliang to resist the invasion from the Eastern Lion. After a few days of testing, the real war broke out. By the end of March, the power map and pattern of Awakening of Nations was initially determined.

The overall situation is quite different from reality.

As time goes by and events escalate, the situation will only become more tense.
Civilization needs to develop, technology needs to progress, wars need to consume soldiers, and conscription requires food.
Everything in the game requires a certain amount of time and resources, which will eventually be converted into money.

This is also what makes "Ancient War" different from other games. The intensity of krypton gold is so high that even publishers are afraid.

Since the public beta of "Ancient War" Rise of Nations, this game has never fallen off the top of the game charts in various regions around the world and its position is unshakable.

Plants vs. Zombies, Fruit Ninjas, and Angry Birds are all a bit behind the times. Even Angry Ninjas and Fruit Birds are useless when they come.

On the seventh day after the protective shield disappeared, news and battle conditions of the "Ancient War" Rise of Kingdoms server went viral.

A lesson for all game developers around the world.

There are even organizations that have calculated the global revenue of "Ancient War" and estimated that the weekly revenue will exceed 100 million US dollars, which caused a lot of exclamations.

The name of Bi'an Technology spread across the world overnight. Whether it was Wall Street or Silicon Valley in the United States, everyone had heard of this company. No one expected that a mobile game could be so profitable.

As many institutions and companies turned their attention to this Eastern technology company, which they had heard some news about but had not taken seriously before, they discovered that many of the mobile games they had heard of were produced by this company.

Moreover, the mobile social software WeChat has already reached the third place in the mobile social application list.

Second only to WhatsApp and Skype.

It turns out that making games is not the purpose, the key is to stir up players' antagonistic emotions and take money out of their pockets!
Developers who cooperate with Bian'an Technology look at the financial statements and feel both pain and joy.

Especially the North American publisher THQ, which originally thought that the revenue in the first half of the month was the limit of their imagination. But now, boom, their imagination turns out to be limitless.

They greatly underestimated the consumption level of local players.

In just one week, the revenue exceeded 3 million. It should be noted that it was only 1 million in the first half month after the launch of the service.

According to this trend, it will be no problem for North America alone to have monthly revenue exceeding 5 million US dollars.

In 2011, Angry Birds' annual revenue was $6760 million.

Wow, the revenue of one game in one district per month is almost catching up with the annual revenue of last year’s most popular mobile game.

This is just one district. It is hard to imagine how much money this Eastern company, Bi'an Technology, can make.

You should know that the profit sharing between THQ and Bi'an is 55:.

In fact, THQ is the third largest game distribution company in the United States. EA and Activision had previously discussed cooperation with THQ.

In recent years, THQ's glory days have passed and its development has not been good. Its newly launched games such as "Darksiders 2" and "Neverland" have received average market feedback, so THQ thought of taking a chance and cooperating with Bi'an. Unexpectedly, there was light at the end of the tunnel and it was able to survive.

Now my back is straighter, my legs aren’t sore anymore, and I feel like I’m back to normal.

Seeing the money flowing in like water, half of it will be distributed to those cunning Orientals at the end of the month. This made some THQ executives very dissatisfied, and they felt that there was something wrong with the original distribution ratio!
They do all the publicity, provide servers, and maintain all the relationships, and only get 5% of WTF's profits. In their eyes, 8% is too little.

But they can't do that now, because EA and Activision are definitely eyeing them.

To this end, THQ executives came up with a good idea, which was to find a mobile game alternative with similar gameplay. This was Plan B that they had negotiated with the other side before, and they didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Not only THQ, but also foreign game publishers, except those in the Middle East, have also begun to have their own ideas, including big ones such as Ubisoft and EA, and countless small game companies.

However, Activision Blizzard was not among them, because their senior management felt that mobile games were just a flash in the pan and the greatest potential still lay in PC. All their funds and energy were invested in PC game development.
