Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Richest Man in China, Li Jiacheng

People always have to do various multiple-choice questions in their lives, such as Wen Ming now.

If "Plants vs. Zombies" is not sold, then this game and its sequel can bring him at least 100 million US dollars in cash flow after one year. Moreover, even after two or three years, this game can still provide benefits for it.

In three years, there is absolutely no problem with the revenue of 200 million U.S. dollars. Don't underestimate the revenue from advertising and peripherals.

But if he sells the game now, he can only reap a net profit of 80 million US dollars.

For many people, of course, they would not choose to kill the chicken and take the eggs. Because not all businesses can achieve an investment of 80 million US dollars, which will become 200 million US dollars in three years, and there will still be profits after three years.

But if you get 80 million US dollars now, one year later, or in a shorter time, you can turn this 80 million US dollars into 200 million US dollars, or even more?

The same money, in the hands of different people, can create completely different benefits.

"So, "Plants vs. Zombies" must be sold. This matter is not negotiable."

Wen Ming, who was eager to get hardware manufacturers to start processing parts for the iPhone 4, did not kill chickens to get eggs, but to use small things to make big things.

"I can't tell you the projects I'm working on right now, but I can tell you the projects you need to do."

Wen Ming took out a plan from the desk drawer, and the name of the plan was "Talking Tom Cat".

After Tomdin took over the planning case, he couldn't wait to look through it. He had no right to stop his boss from selling the company's products. The reason why he came to Wen Ming to complain was because he didn't know what he should do.

I just joined the company, and before I had time to familiarize myself with the company's existing products, I learned that this product was sold. So, as the person in charge of the planning department, does he need to come up with a new plan?

Too late!

Tomdin breathed a sigh of relief when he got a new plan from the boss, a "game genius".

But after reading a few pages, Tomdin was stunned.

"Boss... your plan..."

Wen Ming laughed and said, "Do you think it's too simple?"

This game plan that Wen Ming hastily produced is just one of the plans that he conceived in his spare time recently. Whether it is a game he played in his previous life, or information about a high-selling game obtained from Apple's App store department, as long as it has not appeared in this world and no other company is researching it, then he will write the plan come out.

"Talking Tom Cat" is the simplest one among those games, which is also the heart of defense. If the game planning that can make a lot of money is handed over to Tom Ding, who knows if he will slap Wen Ming...and sell him.

Tomdin said: "It's really too simple. It's just an interaction with a virtual pet. No, it's not an interaction at all. It's just being able to repeat what the user said. Even with the voice changing function, how attractive is it? Woolen cloth?"

The former Wen Ming also didn't understand the secret of this game's success. It was released in 2010 with "Talking Tom Cat" and "Talking Tom's Friends", two sister games, with a cumulative global download of more than 5.6 billion Second, although the vast majority of them are free advertising editions, we can also see its powerful allure.

In addition to the success of downloads, Wen Ming still remembers that before he traveled, that is, in 2017 in his previous life, he read a piece of news that a Chinese company spent 1 billion US dollars to acquire the production of "Talking Tom" company. And under the name of this company, there are only two games: "Talking Tom Cat" and "Tom Cat Friends".

Although the acquisition failed in the end, it only shows the value of this game.

"Games don't need to be more complex, especially mobile games."

Wen Ming said: "Is "Plants vs. Zombies" complicated? It seems that the various plants and maps are very complicated, but in reality? Also, is "Plants vs. Zombies" successful?"

Tomdin was speechless. Wen Ming looked at Tomdin's expression at this time, and for some reason, he thought of a TV series in the name of the people that he had watched in his previous life. There was also a character named Tomdin in it.

Of course, the skin tones of these two men are completely different.

"Understood the boss, I will make this game as soon as possible. I have learned about the capabilities of the R\u0026D team of our company's game division. There is absolutely no problem with this small game."

"very good."

Wen Ming smiled, opened the drawer again, and then took out a stack of plan books and said, "Make it as soon as possible, because I still have a lot of plans here."

Tomdin was dumbfounded again, looked at Wen Ming dumbfounded, and murmured: "Boss, I really want to know, what's the point of you poaching me to come to the company?"

As the person in charge of the game planning department, Tomdin felt very ashamed at this moment, and asked again in an instant: "Boss, are you sure that the planning proposal in your hand is not a blank sheet of paper?"

Wen Ming laughed. The reason why he did this was to see if Tomdin would do anything. Although this method is suspected of phishing (anti-screen) law enforcement, shopping malls are like battlefields and have to use some methods.

"It's impossible for me to devote myself to the company's game business department, but I can't give up the game business department, because I firmly believe that the future mobile game market will definitely exceed the PC game market share."

In the previous life, Tencent’s stock soared because of the revenue capability of King of Glory, which shows how mobile games will explode after the continuous upgrading of smartphones in the future. Even the real Apple, with a market value of 500 billion US dollars, cannot ignore the interests of this area.

"So, I need you to complete the planning proposal I gave. Of course, this is only the early stage, and you will need to hand over the planning proposal to me in the later stage."

Tomdin's heart is a little complicated. The games he likes are PC or games similar to Xbox. Although he does not reject mobile games, it is still different from his dream. It's like someone who wanted to fly a fighter jet, but ended up only flying a civil aircraft.

"No problem, boss, I won't let you down. Of course, if I have a good end game plan, I hope you don't refuse, because we can't just develop mobile games."

Wen Ming said with a smile: "As long as it is a fun game, you can make money. As long as you can make money, why should I refuse?"

Tomdin left Wen Ming's office with "Talking Tom Cat", and Wen Ming also called Sith, explaining that the sale of "Plants vs. Zombies" should be completed as soon as possible. Unlike instagarm's operation method, "Plants vs. Zombies" will be sold as a single product at one time, and there is no need to establish a new company.

Instagram, on the other hand, needs to conduct a round of financing before it can be officially sold, so it needs to establish a leather bag company.

After confirming the task given by Wen Ming, Sith said directly: "Therese Roy has already responded. This time Facebook's acquisition of Instagram is not a separate acquisition, but a four-way merger."

Wen Ming frowned and asked, "Apart from our Apple company, Teresa Roy's investment company, and Facebook, who else?"

Facebook wants to acquire instagarm, but he has no money, so he naturally needs to find someone with money. This fourth party is the one who needs to pay the bill. He knows without thinking that his harvest will be the equity of Instagram.

Sith replied: "It's your hometown, Li Jiacheng, the richest man in China."
