"Chen Yu, you can't bring the finals of Bubble Hall to another school."
"Ah, Dean Li, didn't the school say they would consider it?"
"Consider … did they?"
"That's what you said at the time."
"You must have heard wrong. The school welcomes a competition like this with open arms."
"Alright, I must have misheard you."
Chen Yu smiled and admitted his mistake.
Of course, Chen Yu didn't hear wrong. As for the reason, it was completely because of the popularity of the Bubble Hall competition.
Originally, the school said they would consider it, but now that they saw the situation, they immediately agreed.
Li Biqing was afraid that they would agree too late, so he specially called Chen Yu.
"Then it's settled. You can't bring the competition to another school."
"Don't worry, Dean Li. Although school hasn't started yet, I'm still a student of Shenzhen University."
"Good that you know."
Li Biqing nodded with satisfaction.
"Zou Tao, when will the finals of Bubble Hall be held?"
"We're still in the preliminaries. Japan and Korea are a bit slower. They just started this event. They need some time. We estimate it should be in December."
"This competition must be done well. It's related to the publicity image of Huanyu Technologies."
"Yes."
Zou Tao nodded vigorously.
Bubble Hall was a free-to-play game and didn't make as much money as the Legend of Mir.
However, the Legend of Mir could make money, but the image couldn't be established.
However, Bubble Hall was different. The China-Japan-Korea Tri-Nation Tournament had established a decent image for Bubble Hall in eSports. Although this image wasn't supported by everyone, at least it looked good.
…
"Li Nan, did Penguin make a move?"
After instructing Zou Tao, Chen Yu went to the YY instant messaging department.
"Penguin copied our open strategy."
Li Nan opened the QQ game and pointed at their game. "Penguin announced yesterday that their QQ game will allow all application software companies to launch products under them. At the same time, they also developed an API for the QQ game. Of course, this isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is that they set the distribution ratio to 3: 7. "
"Penguin 3, Client 7?"
Chen Yu's face darkened.
"Yes."
Li Nan nodded. "Penguin doesn't plan to make money. They want to compete with us for the market."
"It seems so."
Chen Yu rubbed his chin. "Li Nan, what do you think?"
"I feel that although Penguin's move is useful, it might not be able to shake our platform."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"Boss Chen, look, although QQ Games is also developing a platform, they started later than us and are already a few steps behind. Plus, their popularity in QQ games can't be compared to our YY games. Even if they come up with a 3: 7 split, they might not be able to attract too many game manufacturers. "
"What if the game developers on our side jump to QQ?"
"We have signed exclusive contracts with all the game developers. They wouldn't dare to jump."
However, when Li Nan said that, Chen Yu shook his head.
"Li Nan, don't underestimate your opponent."
Chen Yu said, "Although QQ's popularity isn't as high as ours, they still have a certain amount of popularity. Plus, they came up with a 3: 7 split, which is very attractive. On the other hand, ours is 5: 5, 50: 50. This is very fair and everyone can make money. However, for game developers, who doesn't want to make more money? "
"Also, even if we signed exclusive contracts with all the game developers on our platform, it won't be of much use. When the profits reach a certain point, all contracts are useless. "
Capitalists didn't have contracts to speak of. They only had benefits.
As for why many capitalists would abide by contracts, it was because they felt that abiding by contracts would bring them more benefits. However, if destroying the contract could bring them more benefits, why would they abide by it?
Of course, most software developers would abide by such contracts. After all, Huanyu Technologies had a huge advantage. Even if QQ came up with a 3: 7 split, they wouldn't necessarily earn more than YY.
However, this kind of threat still had some effect.
However, even though he said that, Chen Yu still had a headache.
This Penguin was really difficult to deal with.
After competing with him so many times, although Huanyu Technologies had gained the upper hand, they still couldn't eliminate him.
"Manager Shi, what's the matter?"
He had a headache. At this time, Shi Lanfang, who was at Shin Fung, called Chen Yu.
"Boss Chen, our Duo Cheng sales have dropped a little recently."
"How much?"
"About 5%."
"This is normal market fluctuations."
Chen Yu frowned.
He was annoyed at the moment. How could he be interested in Duo Cheng?
"Chief Chen, our Duo Cheng Duo's market has always been growing steadily. The drop this time is very unexpected. I did some research. It's mainly because Tongyi launched a new product, Xian Le Cheng. Also, they've started a large-scale advertising campaign on TV. "
"Okay, I got it. Manager Shi, you should come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."
Chen Yu didn't say much and hung up the phone.
Shi Lanfang, who was far away at Shin Fung, was a little stunned. What's wrong with Boss Chen?
"Penguin, oh Penguin."
"You have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."
Staring at the QQ game on Penguin, Chen Yu couldn't come up with a solution for the entire afternoon.
This was a little difficult to deal with.
He had already defeated QQ, but it wasn't that easy to eliminate him.
"Forget it, I won't think about it today. I'll think about it tomorrow."
His thoughts were in a mess. Chen Yu stopped thinking about Penguin for the time being.
The competition in business didn't happen in a day or two. Sometimes, it was normal to be confused for a day.
"Oh, right, I think Manager Shi called just now."
Chen Yu seemed a lot more relaxed after putting Penguin's matter aside.
Then, he remembered Shi Lanfang's call.
"Manager Shi, you said Tongyi made a move?"
After all, he was the one who started the beverage factory. Although it wasn't his main business, how could he not care?
Feeling a little guilty, Chen Yu called Shi Lanfang back.
"Boss Chen, yes."
Seeing that Chen Yu called back, Shi Lanfang was overjoyed.
Even though she was in charge of the entire beverage factory, Shi Lanfang still wasn't confident in facing such a strong competitor. Originally, Shi Lanfang had wanted to report this to Chen Yu. However, after the call just now, Shi Lanfang's heart sank. She knew that this beverage factory was bought by Chen Yu casually. He probably didn't care too much about it.
"Which channel did they advertise on?"
"All the major channels in the country. They all chose prime time, including Central TV."
"That's a lot of money."
"I think so too. They probably want to completely drive us out of the market in half a year."
"It won't be that easy to drive us out of the market."
"Also, Boss Chen, they sent a representative again. They said they want to talk about the acquisition again. The price is twice the previous price."
"Tongyi is a good move."
Carrot and stick, let's see if you can take it.
"Manager Shi, the price seems okay. How about we sell it?"
"Ah …"
Shi Lanfang shouted in surprise, "Boss Chen, don't sell it."
"Why not?"
Chen Yu said with a smile, "Tongyi Group is more experienced and more capable than us. If they buy us, we might have a better future."
"Chief Chen, if this is acquired, our Duo Cheng Duo brand will be gone in the future."
"That's true."
"Boss Chen, you can't sell it."
At this time, Shi Lanfang's heart was in turmoil. She was truly worried that Chen Yu would sell off Duo Cheng.
"Okay, I'm just kidding. Even though I'm mainly in the internet industry, I won't ignore Duo Cheng."
Chen Yu said, "Since they want to beat us with advertising, we'll have an advertising war with them."
"Boss Chen, the advertising cost is too high. We don't have enough funds."
"It's okay. I can still afford the advertising."
Tongyi Group didn't even make as much money as Huanyu Technologies.
Who was afraid of who in an advertising war?
