Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 493 Century Effect

Whenever a new game from Century Interactive Entertainment is launched, there will be a corresponding chain reaction. Later, not only the games, but also some products of the Century series are released, and the corresponding fields will have more or less phenomenal reactions. This has also become a subtle influence in the online game industry. a law.

Some media even named this phenomenon the effect of the century.

In the following period, the century effect began to come true.

On October 10, Hangzhou Dianhun Network Technology announced that they are independently developing a real-time strategy online game that integrates RTS elements into RPG online games, "Dream Three Kingdoms", and is expected to meet the majority of players early next year.

On October 10th, Qifan Games announced that as the first pioneer in the domestic MOBA field, Qifan Platform will launch the first MOBA online game that supports 15V10 Three Kingdoms fierce battle next month, "The Heroes", allowing you to experience fighting from the beginning. A thrilling experience to the end.

By the end of the month, Penguin, the second oldest player in the online gaming industry, finally responded.

On October 10, Tencent Games announced that it had invested in a North American game company that specializes in developing MOBA online games, with RoitGame becoming its majority shareholder.

Early next year, it will act as an agent to operate its hero battle MOBA competitive online game "League of Legends"

Domestic MOBA online games are beginning to become popular.

Now Tencent's development, after Chen Hao grabbed half of its luck, is far less than the scale of the original world line.

The core QQ basic market is currently suppressed by YY, which is very uncomfortable. The current market share is 46.

Although it is far from the historical record of the same period when the stock price exceeded 100 Hong Kong dollars and the market value exceeded billion, it is still better than the previous one.

But these foreigners are quite temperamental and were very resistant to this kind of behavior at first. But when they heard that the heroic glory among them was obtained from their former traitor Sheep Knife, which they personally operated, they held back their anger and wanted to take it from the market. To regain face, copy more ruthlessly than anyone else.

On the same day, the city Internet cafe selection competition started.

At first, League of Legends was translated into League of Legends, but Xiao Ma rejected it.

He looked at the name of the opponent's game that had an unusually high appearance in the past few days, and had an idea in his mind.

Brother Xiao Ma doesn't care about these reports. Who knows who is making money these days. Currently, online games account for more than half of the revenue. That is really making money.

After a month of trial operation, on November 11st, Heroes of Glory and League of Gods simultaneously updated a major version. Ranking, passes, first rush, cumulative recharge, and privileges were all integrated, and commercial operations were officially launched.

If you create an anti-addiction and harmonious system now, you will need to review and approve the version number later. Maybe even the initial recharge and accumulated recharge will be given to you across the board.

The mulberry elm that was lost in the east corner.

In comparison, the Penguin seems a bit out of place.

According to speculation by economic experts, the size of Century Zongheng is approximately equal to the sum of Alibaba and Tencent.

Countless players have begun their journey to pursue their e-sports dreams.

Judging from the current situation, Chen Hao is really consistent with his words and deeds, and he doesn't mind at all if he copies it casually.

Still moving forward at your own pace and rhythm.

When Century Interactive Entertainment began to promote Glory of Heroes and League of Gods in August this year, they discovered that the other party wanted to enter the MOBA market.

<divclass="contentadv">Suddenly I remembered that Riot Games, which I invested in before, seemed to have developed a MOBA game. Brother Ma was so happy that he even took people to North America to inspect it. After watching the game demonstration, , after negotiation and communication, the decision was made on the spot, the investment was increased, and in one fell swoop, he became the major shareholder of Riot Games.

On the surface, it has become the number one Internet company in China.

Xu Peiliang took time off to lead all employees of Shijing Company to explore and prepare for professional events in these two games.

Said to Ren Yuxin, who is in charge of the game, "The name of our League of Legends game in China is League of Legends!"

Different from history, Tencent gained the right to speak from Riot Games. After the public beta testing of Honor of Heroes and League of Gods, all employees of Riot Games in North America found a way to catch up and planned to start copying.

It's not that Chen Hao hasn't seen news about other manufacturers during this time, but he doesn't care.

Then he immediately asked Liu Chiping to send someone to follow up. After several contacts, he found that Riot was just a small workshop with more than a dozen people. It made a game and won an award at a game show, so he followed up on the investment. The proportion was not large, just casual. A seed was sprinkled, but I didn’t take it to heart at the time.

Last year, when Tencent learned that Chen Hao had contacted a game company in North America, although he didn't know why they didn't reach an agreement in the end, Xiao Ma paid attention. There must be a reason for everything.

This is also confirmed by the stock price, but the current stock price is more than 40 yuan, which has increased 10 times from the initial listing price in just a few years, and the total market value has reached a scale of about 500 billion.

Adhere to the principle of making money for as long as you can.

But as the rightful owner, he was indifferent, and there was not even an official lawyer's letter or statement. It is true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is.

After all, these days, we still have a conservative attitude towards the gaming field. The gaming industry can generate huge economic benefits, but the disadvantage is that it is always accompanied by reports and complaints from various parents, and it cannot be brought to the forefront, making it both loved and hated by adults.

However, QQ Space, which was originally on the verge of survival, has been revived because of the fate of the century, the transformation of Weibo, and more social media attributes, which is quite a sign of a bright future.

There are also many media outlets who, with their few consciences, are complaining about Century Interactive Entertainment. Tencent has done this blatantly. Anyone with eyes will know that the other party is plagiarizing.

That is Century Zongheng Group, which is not listed but only has a valuation.

But everyone knows that there is another potential giant who is the well-deserved uncrowned king.

Under the influence of Century Interactive Entertainment’s Butterfly Effect, Tencent’s game business is booming, and Xiao Ma’s Sharingan talent has awakened early. In the past two years, it has developed several QQ online games, such as “QQ Speed”, “QQ Dance”, “QQ China”, “QQ Fantasy” and “QQ Fighting”.

Familiar figures can be seen in every online game from the Century series online game products. It focuses on the market positioning of replacement, with large quantity and sufficient management. It has kicked out other game manufacturers such as NetEase and firmly occupied the second echelon of online games. It was jokingly called by the media The second oldest person in the online gaming world.

Some media indeed published some reports on this matter, and even found Chen Hao's response to this matter a few years ago.

Netizens feel that the boss of Century Zongheng is a capable person who does great things.

In the same month, Alibaba, which had been founded for 8 years, was finally successfully listed in Hong Kong. After the opening, the stock price continued to rise, reaching a maximum of HK$35.75, which was higher than the stock prices of Google and Baidu. The market value exceeded billion, making it one of the top ten Internet companies in the world.

According to public information, Century Investment’s investment and acquisition cases in small and medium-sized start-ups this year are much higher than those in the previous two years.

Moreover, Century Investment, a subsidiary of Century Zongheng Group, also holds about 7% of Tencent stocks and 10% of Alibaba stocks, which further demonstrates its unique investment vision.

The subsequent announcement of the Hurun Rich List further confirmed this point.
