Everyone looked at Li Zetian with puzzled eyes.

Li Zetian smiled lightly and began to carefully tell everyone what he thought.

After a while, everyone suddenly realized and looked shocked, admiring Li Zetian.

"Mr. Li, I almost scared me to death just now. I really thought "World of Warcraft" was going to be free? Well, the charge for this item is really innovative!" Mike Mohan laughed.

This is the first time that Ma Huateng feels Li Zetian's domineering sideshow and global talent up close.

At present, the mainstream charging of online games is point card charging, but he did the opposite, proposing to abolish the point card charging model, promote the game to be free, and use props to charge. If players do not buy props, it is really a penny. No need to spend.

At first glance, this idea is very stupid, but after thinking about it carefully, especially after listening to Li Zetian's analysis just now, Ma Huateng felt that this is the inevitable path for online games in the future!

Ma Huateng had to sigh in the bottom of his heart that his big boss is really awesome and worth learning for a lifetime.

Li Zetian glanced at Ma Huateng with an imperceptible smile on his face: "Haha, Ma Huateng was deeply shocked by me!"

Li Zetian passed by at this time, patted Ma Huateng on the shoulder, and asked, "Ma Huateng, do you understand what I said just now?"

"Understood!" Ma Huateng nodded and said very seriously, "Mr. Li, your idea is unique and different from ordinary people, and it also points out the operation and charging model of online games in the future! I simply admire you. , like the surging water of the Yangtze River!"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "It's nothing, many people can think of it. Shanda Group's "Legend World" has been released, is it popular in China?"

Ma Huateng nodded and said: "It's very popular. Because many people have played "Legend of Blood", once "Legendary World" is released, there are many fans supporting it!"

"Well, but it doesn't matter. "Legendary World" is a shoddy work after all, and there are many plug-ins and private servers. The game will collapse sooner or later. "World of Warcraft" should learn from it, and definitely put an end to the existence of plug-ins!"

"Yes, I understand!"

A few days later, Ma Huateng returned to China.

Blizzard decided to develop more props during the public beta.

Softbank and Shanda Group are deliberately trying to kill Tencent, so they attach great importance to Shanda IM and send the company's strongest software development team to conduct product research and development. In fact, it is not very difficult to develop IM (communication software), many college students can complete the basic functions in just a few hours, let alone a large company like Shanda Group

In addition, Shanda Group will definitely copy Tencent's qq software. Needless to say, the development speed will be faster, and a test version will be made in a week or two. Before Christmas, a more mature product has been born.

Chen Tianqiao announced that Shanda IM was officially released on January 1, 2004, to beg for good fortune in the new year.

In addition to acting as the agent of "World of Warcraft", Tencent Games also has several games developed by itself.

The first one: "QQ Hall", which plagiarized Shanda's "Bubble Hall" by NEXON Company in Korea in 2002. Shanda IM copied Tencent's QQ, and the development speed was very fast. Naturally, "QQ Hall" copied "Bubble Hall", and the development speed was also very fast. Everyone was with each other.

The second one: "Crossing Fire", well, everyone knows plagiarism.

The third: "QQ Fantasy", "Fantasy Westward Journey" released by NetEase not long ago has been eyed by Tencent, um... Mr. Ma can, just take office and carry out the plagiarism to the end!

The Q version of "Fantasy Westward Journey" independently developed by NetEase is very popular. It is not worse than "Legend World". Not only boys like to play it, but even girls like this game very much. It belongs to the type of male and female killing.

NetEase can be considered to have gone out of its own way and cultivated its own game development team, and more products will be launched in the future.

Right now, several major portals in China are doing well with NetEase.

Sina and Sohu are both "miserable".

Over the Christmas period, colleges and universities across the United States are closed.

William also returned home.

"Has Facebook developed?" Li Zetian asked casually at dinner.

William nodded excitedly, his mouth could not stop like a machine gun, and told Li Zetian about the development of Facebook in detail.

William recruited six college students at Stanford University, and it took a month and a half to develop the Facebook website.

"On the morning of December 24th, Facebook was officially released, but during the school holiday, many people went home. I plan to wait for the start of the new semester and send people to vigorously promote it in the school."

"Although Facebook has very few registered users now, I believe that Facebook will become popular! Stanley Milgram, a famous professor of psychology at Harvard University, founded the theory of six degrees of separation in 1967. The core idea is: you and any stranger There will be no more than 6 people between them, that is to say, you can meet any stranger through at most 6 people! According to the theory of six degrees of separation, each individual's social circle is constantly enlarged, and finally becomes a large network !"

"So, although we are only doing college social circles now, we are looking at the whole world!"

William confessed: "There are many websites doing SNS (social networking services), but Facebook has its own originality."

"First, provide ancillary online services to existing brick-and-mortar communities, such as by providing college students with information services unavailable in brick-and-mortar communities, an interactive student guide that includes each student's lesson plans and social networking The .Facebook website is not creating a new community that didn't exist at all before, on the contrary, we are providing a more important information and communication service to the existing physical community! This way, Facebook can rely on these physical communities to grow rapidly !!"

Li Zetian nodded with satisfaction. When his strength was weak, it was a good decision to serve other communities and grow rapidly. Didn't Google also serve Yahoo back then, and finally achieved its own

"Second," William continued, "Facebook created the ideal online service by restricting user registration! This is a very important decision for Facebook. In the early days, we only allowed users to register with the email of the school domain name to ensure the authenticity of the user. , and then gradually spread from the Eastern University of the United States to the universities in the United States through word-of-mouth marketing, and then gradually developed to Europe and the rest of the world. The original purpose of this decision was to make users feel that the Facebook website is exclusive and unique. The difference is a social networking site that only belongs to the university elite."

"Things gather together, people are divided into groups! College students will be proud to be on Facebook!"

"Unlike other SNS social networking sites, we are a real-name system, based on the real social relations of users, so users are very sticky, and it is easy to attract more users to join, such as a college student who wants to know his classmates, or has a crush on his classmates. The goddess of my wife, but I am too embarrassed to go to her face-to-face, then you can use Facebook to easily understand each other's situation. There are many ways to establish a relationship chain, this is a social chain built based on 'search'!"

Talking with William Kaikai, he is confident and has a demeanor of pointing the country.

Well, as expected of my kind!

Li Zetian was very satisfied.

Li Youran was also listening, looking at William up and down, and said in surprise, "I can't see it, you are usually so playful, yet you have a little business acumen!"

William glared at her and said proudly, "Just kidding, don't even look at who I am!"

Yu Jingqiu said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it for now, when you finish talking, the food will be cold."

Li Zetian said to William and Youran: "Okay, everyone eats first!"

"Oh… "
