Chapter 346 The Fear of Ascendas Company 【Two in One】

Ascendas Group, gaming division.

"Have you read the data of the tower defense mobile game of Lianshan Games?"

At the meeting of the Ascendas game department, Liu Yi sat at the top of the conference table, looking deeply at the heads of various sub-departments of the Ascendas game department who sat around the table.

Chu Yuntian, who was in charge of the stand-alone game department, seemed to be sitting there too, with a very gloomy expression like his colleagues.

Facing Liu Yi's inquiry and Liu Yi's sharp eyes, everyone was silent.

They really don't pay much attention to this small company.

Except for some top game companies in the industry on weekdays, they basically seldom pay attention to other small companies. After all, they are not bored every day and can pay attention to these news at any time.

However, Chu Yuntian sat among these people with a deep expression on his face. He was one of the few people in this group who had been paying attention to Lianshan's games.

So he was very concerned about the official launch of "Clash of Clans" under Lianshan Games, so before today's meeting started, he got the results of the overseas market of "Clash of Clans", and when he finished reading this After the results, he fell into silence.

"Don't any of you know?" Liu Yi glanced at the crowd who spoke vaguely.

Chu Yuntian was leaning on the chair. Hearing Liu Yi's voice, Chu Yuntian raised his head and glanced at everyone present, and then slowly said: ""Clash of Clans" was launched on the US market at ten o'clock in the morning US time yesterday, US time. At 22 o'clock in the evening, it entered the top ten of the free mobile game rankings in the United States, the top fifty of the free game rankings in nine countries around the world, and the top one hundred in [-] countries."

Chu Yuntian slowly said the data he saw in the morning, word by word.

But following Chu Yuntian's words, the faces of the heads of each department of the Tengfei game department who were present slowly changed a little bit, the expressions on their faces were a little distorted, and their eyes were full of doubts.

They are all people who have been in the game market for many years. Basically, everyone sitting here has experienced the ups and downs of the domestic game market, and it has flourished.But for overseas markets, in their perception, overseas markets are very difficult to enter.

It can be seen from the failure of domestic games to hit the overseas market several times.

Therefore, in their minds, there is a vague division of the current world game pattern. European and American Neon games are the first class, while Chinese and Korean games belong to the same level, while other Southeast Asian, or other Third world countries are at a lower level.

This forms a relatively complete chain of contempt.

Therefore, they have always been in awe of overseas markets.

They have also been doing overseas surveys, trying to study the overseas game market, especially what the tastes of European and American players are, but the final result makes their games frustrating, that is, the current quality of Chinese games is not enough for the European and American markets. Or Neon players are interested.

The few successful cases are just a kind of survivor bias.

This makes them very depressed, but every year they still spend a lot of money exporting their own money to Europe and the United States, even if they don't make any money, and all they want is to look familiar.

But now a game company has suddenly appeared, and its products have caused widespread heated discussions in overseas markets. How can they not be surprised?

But the most surprising thing is that this game is firmly ranked No.1 in China's tower defense game genre in China, and it can also win the favor of overseas markets in a very short period of time when it is released overseas.

This kind of game that is played both at home and abroad makes them feel the horror.

After all, no matter whether it is foreign or domestic, they are not afraid of which side takes all, but now there is such a game that takes all in the two-tier market, which makes them feel a little vigilant.That's fine if it's an exception, but what if it's a regular case?
Then everyone looked at each other angrily, and everyone could see the look of astonishment in each other's eyes.

Liu Yi glanced at Chu Yuntian, with a satisfied expression in his eyes, but the expression on his face was still solemn, and then he asked someone to turn on a projector hanging directly above the conference table, and the curtains of the room were also drawn Yes, the room immediately went dark, a pair of rays of light hit the white curtain that was slowly descending, and reflected the content, which was a PPT.

"This is the sales situation of all Lianshan Games' games in domestic and foreign markets. Everyone can take a look." Liu Yi said to everyone present with a solemn face.

Chu Yuntian and everyone present turned their heads to look at the projection screen, and when they saw clearly the content on the screen one by one, they were immediately shocked.

Especially Chu Yuntian, his entire brows were almost frowning together.

In the eyes of everyone, the sales of all games under Lianshan Games as of this month are clear at a glance.So what shocked everyone was that all the single-player games under Tengfei Games had sold over one million copies in overseas and domestic game markets as of today.

Even the sales level of some games has exceeded the staggering level of 500 million sets.

And this is only calculated with reference to the Ascendas Cloud Game Platform and some foreign game platforms with open data.They did not know the sales data of Lianshan Game Platform, a subsidiary of Lianshan Games, so they only made a rough estimate based on the number of reviews.

But that's enough.

Million sales!
This sales volume is like a fantasy achievement in the eyes of countless stand-alone game companies in China.

But for Lianshan game, this is just a routine operation.

Now, the sales of all the games under Lianshan Games have exceeded the million level, and both overseas and domestic have exceeded the million level, which means that Lianshan Games may have the ability to smash the world game market.And the most terrifying thing is that this is also shown in the mobile game "Clash of Clans".

So everyone present was shocked.

What if Lianshan Games got out of the small circle of stand-alone games and tower defense games?

What if they enter some kind of larger game circle?

Will they reproduce the miracles in stand-alone games and mobile game tower defense genres?
Their rationality tells them that the chances are very small, because looking at the entire world, no company can take all game types.

But when they saw the game sales data of Lianshan Games, they all fell into silence.

Especially when they saw the estimated revenue of “Clash of Clans” in the figure as high as 10 billion in January next year.

So they had to believe that this small company, which didn't seem very inconspicuous, had huge energy. If it was allowed to grow, it might become the next 'take-off game' in the gaming industry.

"Do you have any good suggestions for this company?" Liu Yi looked at everyone with a bright look in his eyes, like a tiger hiding in the tall grass ready to tell a story.

"Do you want to buy them?" A less important person in charge of the game studio sitting at the bottom looked around at his colleagues who did not speak and fell into silence. After hesitating a few times, he licked his slightly dry lips, and then Opened his mouth to express his suggestion.

Liu Yi looked at this person, with a hint of sarcasm unconsciously revealed at the corner of his mouth, and then tapped the remote control in his hand, and saw that the PPT on the projector automatically turned to the next page.

Everyone's eyes were attracted again, and this time they were completely surprised.

Because the content of this page somewhat exceeded their expectations.

I saw the logo of Muyi Company appeared at the top of the screen, and then three branches extended out, namely Lianshan Game, Xuanyin Short Video, and Lingxin Animation.

And this extension is not over yet, several white lines are extended under these three branches, and this is the timeline that lists the establishment time of all departments under Muyi Company so far, as well as the achievements of each department. Achievement.

So looking at the screen, everyone was completely lost.

They are all from the game industry, so they usually only pay attention to Lianshan Games, and they don't know much about the head office of Lianshan Games, Muyi Company.

But when they looked at the data on the screen, they were horrified to find that this small company, which was only established at the beginning of this year, already had such a size.

Lianshan Games, all its stand-alone games have achieved platinum achievements, and the only mobile tower defense game is now on the global market. The global turnover in the first month after taking off may reach the order of [-] million.With a turnover of [-] million a month, this is a star-level product even if it is placed in the Ascendas game.This seems to be a new star that has suddenly risen in the domestic market, extremely bright and dazzling.

But looking at other products of Muyi Company, they feel that this company is even more terrifying.

Xuanyin short video has more than [-] million monthly active users and nearly [-] million daily active users, and the average user's usage time even exceeds that of Ascendas's pillar product 'Fetion'.They have heard about this software for a long time. This is a company that is good at big data and artificial intelligence engine. I didn't know that this product turned out to be a brother product of Lianshan Games.

According to the data, calculated based on the advertising costs of Xuanyin's short video, thanks to the power of big data and artificial intelligence engines, this software will be able to achieve profitability in the next year or two at the latest.

And when they continued to watch, they realized that there was a sense of dizziness.

Not long ago, the movie "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", which was popular all over China, was actually produced by the animation studio under this company!

You must know that this is a 50 billion yuan film, which can be said to have earned the attention of the entire Chinese film market.

Some of them have only heard of two of them, but most of them don't think that these three distinct products are all made by one company.

But now that they saw it with their own eyes, and added these data as auxiliary materials, they couldn't be more shocked.

"This is the information I got when I held a meeting at the headquarters yesterday. The purpose of showing it to everyone is to tell everyone that this company is not just an ordinary company. He now holds a huge user group, and even Its short video business has a certain degree of direct market competition with our company Fetion. And they also have strong film and game research and development capabilities, which is a very scary company." Liu Yi said earnestly, and then continued: " Yesterday at the headquarters, the president and the chief strategist all mentioned this company, with only one goal, either to include him in our camp, or to beat him to the ground. We must not let it grow wildly, or Let it go to the side of the Arabian Nights, no matter which side the company goes to, it will be a big help."

Liu Yi said slowly, and everyone present nodded solemnly. This company is indeed terrible.

"The acquisition and negotiation don't need our game department to worry about, so the task given to us by the company is to suppress them in terms of games. Or recruit key members of their game studios when necessary." Liu Yi said quietly Telling, as if telling an ordinary thing.

The heads of various departments of Tengfei Company also nodded, feeling that there was nothing wrong.

"Then I will cancel all the games of Lianshan Games on the remote game platform? Do I still need to inform the cultural department?" Chu Yuntian said quietly.

"Withdraw it." After saying that, Liu Yi thought for a moment, and then continued to Chu Yuntian, "There is no need to report to the Cultural Affairs Bureau. They are only responsible for the login review of the game. It has nothing to do with us taking the game off the shelves. Just find some Just a reason is enough."

"Understood." Chu Yuntian nodded quietly.

At present, the largest game platform in China is the cloud game platform. Almost [-]% of stand-alone games are released through cloud games, so Tengfei Games actually controls the lifeblood of most small and medium-sized game companies in China.Although they have cooperated with the Ministry of Culture, the two only cooperated briefly and did not carry out deep cooperation. The share of the Ministry of Culture's shareholding is completely symbolic, and it is just a statement, so for cloud games The normal operation of the platform will not interfere, and they only play the role of reviewing the game content.

Moreover, the censors of the Ministry of Culture will not work on the cloud game platform, so the two parties usually do not interfere with each other.

Therefore, the cloud gaming platform is still a Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of many small and medium-sized game manufacturers in Tengfei's hands.

Only some large game manufacturers can take off the sword in their hands without fear.

"Also, contact the employees of their game studio to see if they can recruit some talents." Liu Yi said.

"Understood." The person who was targeted nodded and praised.

Soon the meeting dissipated and everyone left.

But Chu Yuntian stayed behind, and when everyone dispersed, Chu Yuntian said to Liu Yi: "Mr. Liu, it seems that Lianshan Games still has a game platform in its hands."

"Game platform? Not enough evidence. Now other departments have started to negotiate with this company. If they don't cooperate, then we will consider refusing all cooperation services with them." Liu Yi said with a smile.

On Huaxia's Internet, Tengfei Company doesn't need to do anything else, as long as it withdraws all cooperative business with an Internet company, it can be plunged into an isolated island.

However, on weekdays, Tengfei would not easily use its power. The sword of Damocles was most effective only when it was hung above the head, and if it was used too much, it would lose its deterrent power.So it will only be used when encountering a company that makes Tengfei feel a little threatening.

Sure enough, Chu Yuntian frowned when he heard the words, and said, "How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer?"

"This company is not as simple as a chicken." Liu Yi said with a smile and shook his head.
