My 1999

Seeing him come in, Xia Wei hurriedly greeted him.

He is the director of the ‘Website Directory’ business.

"Mr. Xu."

After patting him on the shoulder, he smiled and said: "The website directory is the company's first profitable business, and I am also very concerned about it. From the launch of the website to now, you have updated it four times in a row, which is very good."

When the website was first launched, it was very crude.

There is no sense of design at all, just a web page with a lot of website links.

Later, with updates again and again, the webpage gradually became better and better.

With website collection function, history function, as well as weather and date.

Although there are not many, they are all practical.

As the optimization of the website becomes better and better, the installed capacity is also getting higher and higher.

It now covers almost 80% of users nationwide.

Advertising revenue has also continued to increase. Although it is not comparable to "Legend", the monthly revenue has exceeded 3 million.

However, this is far from the peak. When Monternet starts, the revenue of Website Directory will reach another level. Otherwise, it would not be worth Baidu spending 50 million plus shares to acquire it.

Don’t think the price is high, hao123’s traffic has helped Baidu consolidate its position as a search giant.

With Baidu's technical support, hao123 generated revenue of 400 million in 2004.

With the development of the Internet and the domestic economy, the value of hao123 will be even higher.

Xu Liang's positioning of the website directory is hao123, but when the search engine is developed, it will slowly move towards the browser.

360 Browser had a head-on battle with Penguin.

With hundreds of millions of installed capacity and platform-level applications, the value is too great.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for the compliment. We will strive to do better." Xia Wei said.

He is a manager who grew up in a technical position and is not very good at flattering others.

Xu Liang was not polite, took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them over.

"have a look."

I took it and opened it, and there was a neat line of regular script on the title page.

"Hongmeng Music Network Development Plan."

“We want to make a music website?”

Xu Liang nodded, "The specific requirements are already in it. I will send an email to the Human Resources Department later and ask them to help you recruit new engineers.

In addition, the head office will establish an interactive entertainment division, and you will be promoted to vice president of the company, responsible for the management of the interactive entertainment division. The Interactive Entertainment Department has two departments: ‘Network Encyclopedia’ and ‘Hongmeng Music’. "

It seems that China Mobile will launch mobile Internet next year.

When the time comes, music, especially the downloading of ring tones, will be a gold mine no worse than the "Network Encyclopedia".

The most representative example is Pang Long, whose song "Two Butterflies" earned 250 million.

Even more awesome than him is Zheng Yuan. "Ten Thousand Reasons" has been downloaded 120 million times and earned 300 million.

It's the company that makes more money than the singer.

And it’s just one song.

Xia Wei looked excited.

In the entire Hongmeng company, apart from Xu Liang, the president, and Xie Fei, the chief operating officer, there is only one vice president, and that is Wu Xifan, who is in charge of the game business.

If he can become vice president, he will become a real senior person in the company and enter the decision-making circle.

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I will make Hongmeng Music a good job."

Programmers' gratitude is so direct.

Patting him on the shoulder, Xu Liang smiled and said, "I believe you. If you encounter something you don't understand, call me anytime."

"yes."

After walking around the new interactive entertainment department, Xu Liang turned around and left.

It was almost noon and I had dinner in the company restaurant.

After a brief nap for half an hour, Wu Xifan came to Dijiang Studio with him.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Wu."

Liang Yuzhong, director of Dijiang Studio, quickly came over to greet him.

Xu Liang looked around the work area and saw that the scale was slightly larger than the last time he came here. There were no less than sixty or seventy people.

After walking around and saying hello to the employees, he came to Liang Yuzhong's office and sat down.

"You're envious, right?" Xu Liang smiled.

Liang Yuzhong smiled bitterly, he understood what the big boss meant.

"How can I not be envious? We are all in the game department, and the revenue of "Legend" has exceeded 10 million, and it is still growing.

We are the eldest son of the company, but we have had two public tests so far and still cannot meet the operating standards. This is really uncomfortable. "

"Don't worry, it's not that easy to make a large-scale online game.

Moreover, it has only been eight months since the project was launched.

In comparison, other companies that develop large-scale online games may not be able to bring the game to closed beta for eight months. You are already doing very well. "

Liang Yuzhong nodded, of course he knew that this was just the big boss's comfort.

The closed beta version of "Tianxia" was too rough and ugly due to lack of funds and experience.

This is also the reason why the inside of it has been in public beta for three or four times and still cannot pass the review.

Fortunately, with repeated modifications, the gameplay of "Tianxia" has become more and more perfect, the content has become richer, and the graphics have become much more refined.

Compared with the original closed beta version, it is almost two games.

In particular, the complexity of the operation, which was most criticized at the beginning, has been completely revised, comparable to the control method of programming instructions.

"Old Liang, do you still remember what I told you back then?" Xu Liang said.

Liang Yuzhong nodded and said solemnly: "The products produced by Hongmeng must be high-quality products."

"Yes, we would rather spend one or two years, or even two or three years, making a game than launch a defective product just to make money."

For Xu Liang.

A game is not just a game, it is an IP.

If it is carefully developed and turned into a series, its future value will be increased by ten times or even dozens of times.

Patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be too anxious, and tell your brothers not to be anxious. If you develop "Tianxia" well, others will naturally envy you."

"yes."

Liang Yuzhong nodded solemnly.

Xu Liang stood up, followed by Wu Xifan and Liang Yuzhong.

"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. Work hard, I'm waiting for news of your victory."

After leaving Dijiang Studio, Xu Liang went to Jumang Studio next door.

Compared to the silence next door, Jumang Studio, which has made a lot of money for the company, is much more relaxed.

When Xu Liang came in, everyone was bragging, laughing, and extremely happy.

But when he saw the big boss coming in, he subconsciously stopped and quickly returned to his serious work look, like a primary school student caught by the teacher.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Wu."

Wang Tao, Wei Xiao and others quickly said hello.

Xu Liang nodded and smiled.

"No need to pretend. You have made money for the company and you are indeed entitled to be happy."

Xu Liang's words instantly broke the silence in the room.

"Mr. Xu, the revenue of "Legend" has exceeded 10 million."

"Mr. Xu, the company promised to give us 5% of the net profit as department operating funds. When will it be distributed?"

"Mr. Xu..."

Xu Liang pressed down with both hands.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Everyone gradually became quiet.
