"It's nothing much, really. The main purpose of this conference is to introduce the scale of the mobile DreamNet market, as well as adjust the terms and conditions of our partnership. Mobile has already communicated with us. This year, they're investing heavily in the mobile DreamNet market, pushing it to millions of households. The market is likely to double in size. "
"So Mobile might want to lower the percentage of our partnership?"
"It's possible. But that's not the main point. For us, whether it's seventy-three or eighty-two, our market isn't big, and our profits are weak. We don't need to think too much about it. But for QQ, the mobile DreamNet market is an important part of their business. "
"Boss Ding, you mean we should seize the market first, and accept Mobile's offer?"
"I think we should advance and retreat together."
Ding Lei had high hopes for NetEase Bubbles. Otherwise, he wouldn't have attended the conference himself.
But NetEase Bubbles had missed their opportunity. Although they'd seized the opportunity to launch, they hadn't yet broken into the market.
Joining forces with Huanyu Technologies' YY to deal with QQ was the right choice.
Of course, Chen Yu and Ding Lei had the same idea.
"I think Boss Ding has a point. We should advance and retreat together."
Chen Yu's face was expressionless.
In fact, he didn't fully believe Ding Lei's words.
Instant messaging needed a market, but it also needed money.
The mobile DreamNet partnership was an important source of income for instant messaging.
But it looked like the mobile DreamNet wanted to lower the percentage for today's conference.
From the original seventy-three, it would be eighty-two.
Mobile DreamNet would be eighty percent, software developers would be two.
In fact, Chen Yu was disgusted by this partnership.
Generally speaking, the distribution channel and content provider were on equal footing, and the split should be fifty-fifty.
Fifty-fifty.
But it was the mobile DreamNet that set the precedent. Later on, the distribution channels didn't treat developers as human beings.
There were all kinds of seventy-three, eighty-two, ninety-one.
There were even some that weren't symmetrical or transparent. You couldn't find out how much you'd get. You could get whatever you wanted.
NetEase didn't have to worry about money. Of course it didn't matter.
But if Huanyu Technologies advanced and retreated with NetEase, then they'd be at a disadvantage in the future.
After all, there was only the 5173 network. YY's operations had always relied on the 5173 network.
But if YY's registrations reached QQ's scale, then even the 5173 network would have trouble.
This was also why Chen Yu wanted to create games.
It wasn't easy to sustain an instant messaging company, and it was even harder to push instant messaging into the market.
However, even so, Chen Yu did not show anything.
The market was like that. It was impossible for it to be the same as what you imagined.
. and you, no matter what you, you'd have to lose, you'd have to make a loss..
It all depends on how you look at it.
"Tomorrow there'll be a separate negotiation. The person in charge of DreamNet will sign the contract with you, me, and Penguin. We'll sign the contract."
..............
..... However, the mobile DreamNet can give us some of its resources. "
"Then I don't think so."
This kind of verbal agreement was equivalent to no agreement.
Even if there was, it would be a small profit. Nothing serious.
"Haha, that's how Mobile works."
Ding Lei also smiled charmingly.
They'd dealt with the mobile DreamNet before, and knew what it was all about.
But so what?
Their position and power were there. You couldn't do anything about it.
But that was the reality. They had to develop, NetEase had to expand, and instant messaging had to be introduced to the market.
Ding Lei was a veteran. He couldn't afford to fall out with Mobile over something like this.
"But no matter what, this is the first time you and I are working with DreamNet. The market is the most important."
"Boss Ding, I understand. But I'd like to know what DreamNet's offer is."
"Eight twenty."
"Moving really makes you want to eat it."
Chen Yu teased.
The next day, the Mobile Developers Conference officially began.
The conference was hosted by Jiang Mingchao, the head of DreamNet.
During the conference, Jiang Mingchao focused on DreamNet's market prospects and future plans.
During the lunch break, Penguin's Ma Huateng came looking for Chen Yu.
Although Ma Huateng was also very surprised by Chen Yu's age, in fact, Ma Huateng was not that old now.
Most of the people in the Internet business were young.
Now, and in the future.
Chen Yu also knew the meaning of Ma Huateng's arrival.
It was probably the same as what Ding Lei had said yesterday. He hoped Huanyu Technologies wouldn't be tempted by the mobile market, and would stand firm.
The meaning was clear.
He wanted Huanyu Technologies to stand with Penguin against the threat of mobile.
Chen Yu showed little interest.
Although, in his heart, he wanted to stand with Penguin.
Chen Yu couldn't help but ridicule Mobile for taking such a low cut.
So what if he was ridiculing?
Every path of entrepreneurship was incomparably difficult.
Chen Yu had to compete with Penguin, and be wary of NetEase.
Then he had to face Mobile, the absolute market force.
Don't think Mobile was just a platform. That's how Feixin came out.
There might be other big names involved.
To be honest, no one here was a friend. Every decision needed to be made by oneself.
"Pony, I didn't expect Huanyu Technologies' founder to be so young."
"I didn't expect it either."
"How was it? Did it go well?"
Watching Chen Yu leave, Ma Huateng shook his head.
"This guy, he compromised with Mobile so easily. He's going to suffer in the future."
Ceng Liqing said gloomily.
"You can't say that."
Ma Huateng waved his hand. "We're trying to survive. Huanyu Technologies is also trying to survive. We have a bigger market share, so we can negotiate with Mobile, but they don't. There's no right or wrong here. We're all doing it for our own dreams. "
Although he had expected Chen Yu to make such a decision, Ma Huateng still felt regretful.
"What do we do now?"
"Stick to our original agreement."
"I'm afraid that Mobile will join forces with Huanyu Technologies and NetEase to pressure us. Or maybe they've already signed an agreement."
"That's possible. But even if they're pressuring us, we have to stick to it. If we don't, we won't have the chance to stick to it in the future. "
Ma Huateng said firmly.
