"What's there to be envious of? NetEase is already one of the top four portals in the country. Ding Lei, what are you not satisfied with?"
"Brother Duan, you know about the situation of NetEase. Although NetEase seems to be doing well, we're under a lot of pressure. The portal's profits are getting thinner and thinner. None of the companies are doing well, so I'm planning to shift my focus to online games. "
"Humans naturally like games. Our Little Tyrant sold so well because of games. I think there's a market for online games."
"Yeah, I think there's a market for it too. But we've run into some trouble recently."
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Duan, do you know anything about Huanyu Technologies?"
"I do. Huanyu Technologies's hardware is average, but their soft power is quite strong."
"Indeed, their soft power is very unique. Recently, we did a Journey to the West. They poached some of our talents and did a similar Journey to the West. "
"What's the point of imitation? You're afraid?"
"I'm not afraid."
Ding Lei's face was bitter, "Other people's imitation can't surpass the original, but their imitation can kill the original."
Thinking about the Legend of Mir 2, Ding Lei trembled.
"Haha, interesting."
Duan Yongping smiled and said, "So it looks like your two families are competing recently?"
"They haven't started beta testing yet, but they're quite popular. I'm worried that once they start beta testing, our players will run over to them."
"Don't you have any tricks up your sleeve?"
"How could I not? I did use some tricks. Unfortunately, not only were they neutralized one by one, but they also caused my NetEase's reputation to drop a little. I'm having a headache right now. I'm planning to sue them. "
"Recently, the higher-ups issued a trial for internet management. Suing them is a good idea. But it might not work. This is just a trial, and if nothing unexpected happens, it's possible for this case to be delayed for several years. "
"I didn't think of using this to destroy Huanyu Technologies, but it's good to give them a blow."
After complaining, Duan Yongping roughly understood NetEase's current situation.
However, he had a long-term view. He laughed and said, "Ding Lei, there's no need to do this. The market is huge. Huanyu Technologies can't take all the market."
"That's true, but we have the largest market share for turn-based games. If Huanyu Technologies comes, I can't give the market to them."
"Oh you, you're still obsessed with the market. Open up a little more. Who knows, there might be a new world."
"If I could be so open-minded, then I would also travel the world with you, Brother Duan."
Ding Lei was helpless.
He was full of admiration for Duan Yong.
Duan Yof his mentality, and even more, his business vision of the world of the world's best.
.. are 'to him to the market to the East is to the Huanyways........... of the of of the of of the Of'
Just like the original Hongbai machine, and then the Little Tyrant learning machine.
Later, he set up his own company and created the Bubugao series of electronic products.
Now, he was traveling around the world, giving advice, and guiding the younger generation.
"Don't worry, with my understanding of games, the domestic market for online games has a lot of potential. As long as you're on the right track, NetEase will do very well."
Duan Yongping didn't give Ding Lei any specific advice on how to deal with Huanyu Technologies. In his eyes, the competition with Huanyu Technologies was just an interlude. He didn't need to be obsessed with it.
"I'm relieved to hear that."
Ding Lei toasted Duan Yongping.
"What are you worried about? NetEase's current problem isn't the competition with Huanyu Technologies, but the stock market."
Ding Lei was helpless. "Brother Duan, I've been keeping an eye on the stock market. A few days ago, NetEase's stock hit a new low on Nasdaq."
"I saw it too."
Duan Yongping nodded. "The market is a little irrational. Your stock price can't be that low."
"We're the victims of the same pond."
Ding Lei sighed, but he wasn't worried. He believed that after the company's annual report, the stock price would recover.
Outsiders didn't know how profitable games were, but how could Ding Lei not know?
As long as Journey to the West's profits were announced to the Yun Nation at the end of the year, the stock price would definitely skyrocket.
"Don't take this lightly. If the stock price is too low, it won't do NetEase any good."
"Brother Duan, what do you mean?"
"What if someone buys NetEase's stock at this time? I know that there aren't many stocks in the secondary market. Even if someone buys them, it won't affect NetEase's decision. But if someone really wants to do something to you, even if it's only 5% of your shares, you'll have a headache. "
"Brother Duan, you're right."
Ding Lei had not considered this at all. Although Duan Yongping had brought it up, Ding Lei felt a little helpless after considering it for a while. "I don't have much money to buy back the shares at the moment."
"You're that poor?"
"It's not like you don't know how serious the internet bubble was. If it wasn't for online games, I wouldn't even be able to breathe."
"How about this, since I have a lot of spare cash, I'll buy your shares. I estimate that if I throw in a few hundred million, it'll at least double. "
"Brother Duan, you're that optimistic about NetEase?"
"Although you can't figure things out sometimes, you're quite quick-witted at times. Since I don't know what to invest in, I'll buy some NetEase shares. "
"That's great."
Ding Lei didn't have any objections.
At least Duan Yongping wouldn't harm him.
"Okay, that's it. I'll do it when I get back to the US."
Duan Yongping nodded.
Then, the two began to chat.
"Brother Duan, how's your investigation in China?"
"Not much."
Duan Yongping shook his head and said, "I'm thinking about the transformation of Bubugao. You know that even though the VCD recorder can still be sold for a few years, the market is getting smaller and smaller. I won't be able to make it in a few more years."
"The electronics industry is changing too fast. But brother Duan, you haven't even figured out what to do, why are you going back to the US?"
"If I don't figure out what to do, am I going to stay here forever?"
Duan Yongping laughed and said, "I'm a very Buddhist person. If I have a clue, I'll do it. If I don't … then forget it. It's not like I'll starve to death."
"Look at what you're saying. Brother, I can't copy your mentality. If I have something on my mind, I won't be able to sleep for a few days. Look, after fighting with Huanyu Technologies, I've grown a lot of white hair. "
"Come on, you've had a lot of white hair since you were young."
"No, no, no. I had a head of black hair when I was young."
"Hair …"
