Since they had decided to operate on their own, Blizzard acted very quickly. They immediately applied for an Internet operation license from the relevant domestic authorities.
If this license was placed after 2009, foreign investors would not be able to apply for it.
However, before 2009, the country did not fully understand the Internet and online games.
The higher-ups did not know what the Internet was.
So far, only one Internet management method had been introduced, and there were no complete Internet laws and regulations.
Therefore, before 2009, all kinds of capital had set up many Internet online game companies in the Mainland.
For example, Peacock King, this game was operated by a Taiwan-funded company at that time.
But it was a pity.
These foreign companies did not make any achievements in the domestic online game industry because they were not acclimatized.
Later in 2009, the higher-ups had more or less understood the nature of the Internet, and after they tightened the license for foreign companies to enter the domestic Internet, there were basically no online game companies set up by foreign companies in the country.
"Chen Hui, you did well."
"Thank you."
"If it weren't for you, these procedures would have taken a very long time."
"In fact, the license application on the mainland has been simplified a lot, this is not a problem."
"I feel it too. China is indeed becoming more and more open. Blizzard came to China a little late."
"It's not too late. The mainland market is very big, but the competition is also very fierce. Next, our focus will be on operations. "
Although Blizzard did not find any more agents, Blizzard dared to operate on their own, and they were not completely blinded by money.
In addition to Allen as the president of Blizzard China, Blizzard also poached a group of talents from Shengda.
This Chen Hui had been under Chen Danian back then and had always performed well. He was also in charge of a small and medium-sized game in Shengda.
In order to ensure that Heroes of the Storm was foolproof, Allen appointed Chen Hui as the vice president of Blizzard China and his deputy.
"Operation is indeed our next focus. Chen Hui, what do you suggest?"
"Under normal circumstances, with Blizzard's brand and the playability of Heroes of the Storm, our Heroes of the Storm will definitely be able to be launched. However, we still have to consider the competition from Huanyu Technologies. "
"Huanyu Technologies' League of Legends is our main competitor, but their League of Legends can only run on the Huanyu system. Currently, there are no similar competitors on the Windows platform. We still have a lot of opportunities. "
"I think so too. However, I'm afraid Huanyu Technologies won't give up so easily. "
"Tell me about the competition between Huanyu Technologies and other game companies in the past. For example, what methods do they usually use?"
"This …"
"What is it?"
"Mr. Allen, I don't know what to say."
"Why don't you know what to say? We're all legal businesses. Although we're competitors, would they dare to use any shameless means?"
"Mr. Allen, Huanyu Technologies has used too many shameless methods."
"Uh …"
"Then tell me one thing at a time."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in a day and a night."
"…"
On the other side.
After Chen Yu gave the order, Zou Tao first found Li Xuelin.
"Boss Lee, Blizzard's future advertising fees, you guys have to give them a hard time."
"Don't worry, we've been waiting for Blizzard to find us."
Then, Li Xuelin found Xie Zhang.
"Mr. Xie."
"Damn, Mr. Zou, don't be like this, just call me Xie Zhang."
"How can we do that, Mr. Xie, your 5173 is still in charge of our rice bowls."
"Bullsh * t, we can't do anything to our own brothers."
"That's great, you have to pay more attention to Blizzard."
"No problem."
Then, Li Xuelin found Wang Xiaochuan, who was in charge of the search business.
"Boss Wang …"
"Don't talk about it, our brothers' business is our own business. I've been waiting for Blizzard."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
It wasn't over yet.
Zou Tao contacted Fatty Wang again.
Although Fatty Wang later developed independently and started a KTV interlocking business, he still had a lot of connections in the Internet cafes.
"Brother Fatty, I'm Zou Tao."
"Mr. Zou, you don't call me often."
"I don't have any other choice."
"Mr. Zou, what's the matter?"
"We've been bullied by Blizzard."
"How can that be, Mr. Zou? Don't worry, what's the relationship between Boss Chen and me? We're almost sworn brothers. I'll definitely help you get back at them."
"Thank you so much, Brother Fatty."
After flipping through the phone, Zou Tao asked Huanyu Technologies inside and out.
But it was still not over.
The above calls were all from Huanyu Technologies. Even Fatty Wang could be considered half of their own people.
But Huanyu Technologies didn't completely monopolize the domestic Internet, let alone domestic online games.
If they wanted to completely destroy Blizzard, although Huanyu Technologies was enough, Zou Tao always liked to give himself a layer of insurance.
Then, Zou Tao began to have ideas about other Internet companies.
However.
In the end, they were other companies, and some were competitors of Huanyu Technologies. It was not convenient for Zou Tao to appear.
It was even more impossible for him to use his face to look for connections.
However, even if it was not convenient for Zou Tao to appear, he could still achieve his goal.
For example, it was still possible to spread some rumors in the circle.
[Heavy: Blizzard has established a China division, aiming at the domestic online game market.]
[Blizzard's 50 million annual salary poaches Shengda regional manager Chen Hui.]
[The Game Overlord is Coming: Blizzard wants to invest 1 billion yuan to expand the China market.]
[Hundreds of well-known Dota professional players have entered Heroes of the Storm. Blizzard has spent 300 million yuan to create a professional Heroes of the Storm competition.]
On the surface, these seemed to be advertisements for Heroes of the Storm.
At one point, Heroes of the Storm actually became a little popular because of such insider gossip.
But secretly, this kind of inside story was actually for the people in the same industry to see.
So …
Under Blizzard's generosity, a lot of people had this thought: "What's the matter?
"F * ck, Blizzard actually spent so much money. Looks like I'll have to extort more when the time comes."
The manager of Sohu's business department was a little jealous and made up his mind.
"Tsk tsk, Blizzard actually runs its own business. Okay, don't come to our website to advertise when the time comes. "
The person in charge of NetEase's gaming department, Ding Yingfeng, touched his chin and then walked into Portal 163's business department.
"Hey, Blizzard actually came to China to make a game. Our guild's funds have been a little tight recently. I wonder if they can get some money from their side."
For some reason, the boss of the Tycoon King Guild, "King's Soul," who had once spent a lot of money in the game, suddenly had the idea of getting some money.
