Chapter 228

Chinese mainland China and Chinese mobile games staff stayed in Seattle for four days. Besides discussing with V agency about the steam of China, Fang zhe also went to a boating company to discuss with the BOGAO company's top Chinese team about the Chinese mainland's arrangement on the mainland and the webpage game and hand tour.

Nowadays, the computer game of zombies has begun to rage in Europe and America. The progress of the Chinese translation of the cooperation between Huizhong and Bao Kai has also completed more than half of the time. In mid August, the computer version of the zombies computer will be registered in the Chinese mainland market. When the time comes, the Huai will be responsible for the operation and promotion of the game in China.

In fact, the Chinese version of "Plants vs. Zombies" is not a pure stand-alone game. At least some of the contents need to be paid for. This is also the revision decision negotiated by Huizhong after negotiating with baokai company.

Chinese mainland game player is expected to pay for the game. Obviously, it is unlikely that the two sides will negotiate a free version of the game in Chinese mainland, and pay for the game by adding paid props and other payment contents.

Unfortunately Chinese mainland China China's proxy will not be able to complete the related work deployment of steam China independently in a short time. According to the negotiations between the two sides, it will take at least half a year after the negotiations. In February, steam will be able to meet the game player in mainland China formally with steam.

Otherwise, taking advantage of the popular trend of "Plants vs. Zombies" in China, Fang zhe also wants to make a free advertisement for steam China in advance!

On August 2, Fang Zhe and the staff of Huizhong flew back to Yanjing from Seattle. At the same time, Huizhong specially sent a negotiation team and docking team to Seattle to start detailed negotiation and docking preparations for steam China's independent operation with V club.

This time, we won the steam China agency right, and Huizhong paid an agency fee of US $10 million. The contract period is five years. Within five years, Huizhong will be responsible for the operation of steam China.

For steam China's revenue in mainland China, 7 will be returned to the Chinese mainland. On the face of it, 70% will yield a lot of revenue. But considering the game issued on steam, 7 of the revenue has been returned to developers, and the steam platform only takes 30% of it.

Among these 30%, Huizhong shares 7:3 points with V club. The profit is only 20% of the total revenue of the game. Putting aside the cost of Huizhong operating steam China, the net profit may be less than 10% of the total revenue of the game!

Even so, Fang Zhe and Huizhong still have great expectations for the future of steam China. It doesn't matter if the game revenue is less. As long as the player community can be built and save tens of millions of users, in the future, whether Huizhong releases its own end-to-end games in China or relies on a large number of players to enter various fields such as game live broadcast and E-sports competition, Huizhong will have incomparable advantages!

At present, neither Huizhong nor Club V has announced that Huizhong is acting as steam China, which was also discussed in advance by Fang Zhe and G Pang. The formal entry of steam into China will inevitably have a great impact on many industries such as end tourism in China. Before that, both sides still need to keep the news, make more and full preparations, and wait for the right time, And then release the news.

One of Huizhong's preparations for this is to take a stake in YY. On August 7, just a few days after Fang zhe returned home, Fu Xinming, the manager of Zhongying domestic capital, called Fang Zhe and told him that Fang zhe had contact with the senior management of YY's happy gathering era, but the other party said they had no financing plan for the time being.

In April this year, YY just got us $23 million in financing from foreign venture capital CGv. At that time, Huizhong's overseas business was in crisis, and Fang zhe had no time to take this matter into account. Therefore, he missed investing in YY at that time.

However, according to Fu Xinming's survey feedback, even if Zhongying and Huizhong had the energy to invest in YY at that time, it was difficult to get investment opportunities, because cGy, the leading investor who invested in YY last time, was an independent investment, and they didn't want other venture capital and capital investment at all. Unless Zhongying capital and Huizhong became the leading investors, cGy didn't need to sell some shares for millions of dollars.

Although the senior management of the happy gathering era has no financing intention for the time being, Fang zhe does not intend to give up investing in YY. Now YY has accumulated more than 30 million registered users in China. Especially after YY launched YY voice in the middle of last year, the number of registered users has doubled. The highest number of online users of YY voice has also exceeded 1 million!

YY has a certain threat and influence on Tencent's QQ in the field of PC software, which is one of the reasons why Fang zhe wants to invest in YY. Now, Fang zhe takes great pains to involve Tencent's energy in China and let it neglect to pay enough attention to the emerging mobile Internet.

In addition, after steam officially enters China, YY voice users currently serving most game players are bound to increase significantly. These users are real steam users. Fang zhe has regarded these users as his own pocket. How can it be allowed? Other companies can take advantage of Huizhong's operation of steam in China, Why, you have to have something to do with our zhe or Huizhong, don't you?

So Fang Zhe, in order to take a stake in YY or get a stake in YY, had to pull a relationship through the back door. This relationship and the back door are very familiar with Fang Zhe. Recently, President Lei, who is busy preparing to establish Xiaomi!

As early as 2007, as an angel investor, Mr. Lei invested US $1 million in angel investment in YY, which had just been established, and obtained nearly 20% of YY's shares.

Over the past two years, YY's valuation has been growing exponentially. Mr. Lei's original investment has also increased more than ten times. In his previous life, Mr. Lei did not sell any shares in YY until yy2012. He even spent money to increase his holdings of a small number of circulating shares, surpassing Li Xueling, the founder of YY, and became the largest individual shareholder of YY.

By 2018 before Fang Zhe's rebirth, YY's market value was more than $6 billion. Lei Zong, who holds more than 20% of YY's shares, alone owned YY's shares, was worth more than $1 billion!

Many ordinary people think that Lei always gets rich after he founded Xiaomi. In fact, Lei is one of the first people to realize financial freedom among the leaders of the Internet industry.

After Mr. Lei sold zhuoyue.com for more than 70 million US dollars in 2004, his personal wealth reached tens of millions of US dollars, not to mention the shares he held in Jinshan. After leaving Jinshan, he invested in startups such as YY, UC and Vanke whose valuation later doubled hundreds of times.

Therefore, even if Xiaomi is not founded, Mr. Lei is also a real top rich!
