Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 567 Inspection of Jinshan

Qu Li originally wanted to invite the chairman of the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River Hydropower Company to attend his New Year's Eve speech, but now there is no result, only simple bragging.He also gave up his plan to mention this matter in his New Year's Eve speech.

If you don't want to say it, don't say it. It's not like he lacks bragging material.Qu Li also wants to go to various affiliated companies in Beijin to learn about the situation.For example, let’s see how Jinshan is developing?

In fact, how could Qu Li have so much time to think about Jinshan's affairs? He put a name on it and handed the matter over to Lei Jun. Isn't this logical?Qu Li only did one thing, which was to determine the business direction of Kingsoft, oh, and League of Legends.

Kingsoft has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this game, including time to help with publicity and promotion, and has provided high-intensity coverage in the country. With the excellence of the product, it has finally gained widespread popularity in the country and has become a standard in Internet cafes across the country. the trend of.

Qu Li and Lei Jun came to Jinshan Company and learned about this situation. They basically no longer had any worries. The only thing left was to see if they had implemented other aspects in place?

Pass through various departments of the company and learn about various situations.There are definitely minor detail modifications, but the direction has not changed.

"It is too difficult to develop government and enterprise customers." Wu Shihong reported the situation: "Kingsoft Security's revenue this year may only be 6 million, and government procurement accounts for 60% of WPS's revenue, about 3 million..."

This result is quite good. When Kingsoft acquired NSFOCUS, its annual revenue did not exceed 3 million, and its revenue doubled in two years. Wu Shihong's ability to serve government and enterprise customers is commendable.

"We completed the salary reform this year, increased the attraction to outstanding talents, and launched the competition for security talents..." Wu Shihong continued to introduce

People cannot survive by ideals. The existence of outstanding talents requires a material foundation. 365's advertising revenue is actually quite large. In 2012, it had about 20 billion in revenue and 3 million in profit.

What about Jinshan?The total security office business exceeds 10 billion, and the game business has 8.5 million even without the help of Qu Li. Although Minecraft and League of Legends have not entered a large-scale profit period, the former created a revenue of 4000 million US dollars. Although the latter There is no specific data, but it is not too much to say that there is a revenue of 10 billion, right?

After some calculations, Kingsoft's revenue last year was about 30 billion, and its net profit was between 365 and 300 million.Since it makes more money than [-] Company, it currently has more potential. The company's stock price has soared to [-] billion Hong Kong dollars per year.It will become easier to attract outstanding talents to join.

Kingsoft has an advantage in the competition with 365 in the security field. It will definitely gain advantages in the long-term competition in the enterprise security business, which will then feed back to personal network security.Kingsoft Antivirus will become increasingly powerful in its detection and killing capabilities, but unfortunately the market is shrinking.

Kingsoft employees were called to a meeting. Qu Li, as chairman, went up and said a few words: "Income from the game business may account for 80% of the company's total revenue in the future, but no matter how much it is, Kingsoft cannot become a game company. This is the bottom line."

"Games are similar to film and television creation. What is required is the ability to continuously innovate. Kingsoft has to take risks when there is no choice, but since it succeeds, it must pay attention to controlling risks."

"I don't mean that games are not important. People in the game development and operation departments can ignore it. We should give the game department more autonomy, higher salary incentives, and the option to spin off and go public at the right time."

"Anyway, what I need is an Internet technology company with sentiments, ideals and pursuits, network security, office SaaS, if I have the ability, I can do cloud computing..."

Qu Li originally wanted them to make an operating system, but later gave up. Jumei Cloud needs a server version of Linux. It is not difficult to develop one for individual customers, but it is just a question of whether it is worth it. After all, programmers need to assess performance, and both commercial and social value The operating system is very low, and it doesn’t make much sense whether it is implemented or not.

"Ahem!" Lei Jun did not let Qu Li continue talking. He promised to spin off the game department and go public without any discussion by the board of directors. It was exciting enough to think about it.

"Tian Ming is right. Kingsoft has always been a company with sentiments and ideals. Our game department has made a wonderful turnaround under the leadership of Mr. Wu..."

"League of Legends" came out, and domestic discussions about Jinshan Company increased, so much so that a rumor was circulating in China, including Xiangjiang and other places: Qu Li has the Midas touch to turn stone into gold, and companies like Jinshan can be revived.

In fact, there is a lot of domestic support for Jinshan. Some provincial and municipal government departments have purchased 100% of WPS. Even Guangxi’s procurement ratio has reached 80%. This means that the procurement funds are too small, less than 3 million in total, and can only be increased in the future. price.

"The most important thing for us right now is to make good products. Consumers are willing to pay for high-quality products." The "fact" Lei Jun saw in Honor is that a mobile phone costing nearly 6000 RMB is bought by Chinese people, which shows that they are not It’s not that they are reluctant to pay. Perhaps what Kingsoft needs to do is to create a “reason” that makes consumers willing to pay.

Then he tried his best to help the game department, including the Xishanju team. As for the distribution of bonuses, that was Wu Shihong’s business, and the League of Legends operations team would definitely get the lion’s share.

The "Minecraft" team is in Rongcheng, Sichuan Province, and Qu Li's brother-in-law is in charge. The main revenue comes from overseas, and it has some loyal players. Although Europe and the United States do not have "otaku culture", they have a lot of leisure time, and Qu Li can't play the game. There are some "rich and idle people" who can live with it.

Although Qu Li doesn't play, he has still set some principles, such as installing simple, rich and interactive mods, making all versions compatible with each other, paying attention to gamers, and speeding up update iterations...

In fact, this is still a small-circle thinking. Why must we serve all consumers? Excellent products can break through the circle. This is true for "Minecraft" and the same is true for "Genshin Impact".

Lei Jun can now understand Qu Li's thinking. IPhone and Honor mobile phones were initially "niche" mobile phones with outstanding advantages. Now, through product iteration, they have finally replaced feature phones and become "mass" mobile phones.

Just like a stick can't puncture a strong piece of denim, but what about a long gun?It's easier to use a sword. A sharp enough "advantage" is a weapon for a product to break through.

After the meeting, Qu Li and Lei Jun inspected various departments and learned about e-sports competition matters with the "League of Legends" operation team. Goose Factory did a good job in this matter, but it does not mean that no one can do it well without them. As long as The upper management pays enough attention to it and invests a lot of resources, so there is nothing that cannot be done.

Well, we still can’t set up a Flag. Evergrande Bingquan failed to succeed after spending money. What is the reason? Is it the market, the industry or the company?

Qu Li was still worried that they would ruin the LOL game, so he had no choice but to dig out people with a hoe.
