Carrying out active cultural propaganda is an essential accomplishment for a big country, which can increase other countries’ understanding of the country and can also bring tangible benefits.
As mentioned earlier, Qing Ning Entertainment has increased the international visibility of many of our country's product brands through the export of a large number of urban dramas, bringing more export trade.
The export of historical dramas can increase ordinary people abroad's understanding of our country's history and culture, and thus have a better understanding of some of our country's core interests.
Polaris Game Company has hundreds of millions of loyal users around the world through a large number of game products every year. If it does a good job in this area, the benefits will naturally be obvious.
In addition to their traditional stand-alone games, the field of online games was also booming last year. The online game "World of Warcraft" developed based on the World of Warcraft architecture provided by Zhao Yi was officially launched last year.
Previously, through related books and local area network stand-alone games, the topic of Warcraft has become a relatively hot topic in the global gaming field, so "World of Warcraft" became popular all over the world as soon as it was launched.
Polaris Game Company is originally synonymous with games in the global gaming field. All game products launched by Polaris Game Company are welcomed by gamers around the world.
In addition, the topic of Warcraft is very popular, and many people are even readers of related books, so it can be said that there is no resistance to the "World of Warcraft" launched by Polaris Games.
The graphics are very different from the previous life. The graphics and production are more refined than the previous life. The balance is better than the previous life. The scale of the map is also unmatched by the previous life. The world structure is more grand than the previous life.
The result is that the initial size of the game reaches 10G. This is the result of optimization. If it were not for the use of efficient compression technology, it would take a long time to download based on the current global network speed.
Moreover, the fineness of the picture and the grandeur of the map must require the user's computer configuration to be very high. In order to achieve wider adaptability, Polaris Game Company has used a large number of new software technologies to allow even lower-to-moderate computer configurations to run. .
Of course, a computer with too low a configuration will not work. Even if it is installed, it will not run smoothly. At the beginning, Polaris Game Company was obsessed with allowing users of computers with low configurations to play smoothly.
As a result, Zhao Yidian woke up. Firstly, to achieve this, a very large R&D investment was required, which was a bit outweighed by the losses. Secondly, it could cooperate with Polaris to eliminate a large number of computers with low-end configurations.
You must know that his industries account for a very high proportion in the global computer field. Not to mention Polaris' global computer market share, computer manufacturers around the world use parts from his companies.
Therefore, no matter which computer manufacturer the user chooses because of the elimination of low-configuration computers, a considerable part of the profits will eventually go to the companies under his ownership.
After half a year of operation, "World of Warcraft" has gained 100 million registered users around the world, with daily active users reaching 10 million, and there is a trend of further growth.
Since Xinghan Technology has deployed data centers around the world, "World of Warcraft" is also directly deployed on their cloud service platform to provide game services to users around the world.
The operation method is direct operation, and the version is released simultaneously globally. This is because the current game-related industries are very weak in various countries, and the Internet companies in each country are not strong.
Therefore, Polaris Game Company operates directly in these countries instead of through agents. However, Polaris Game Company itself has no intention of maintaining such a huge global market. This is not a problem of capital shortage, but completely unnecessary.
However, global promotion is a necessary process, and it is also necessary to continue to maintain the popularity of the game in various countries. If this work is not done well, it will easily lead to the loss of players.
More importantly, once a problem occurs, it must be responded to in a timely manner. Even with the Internet, Polaris Games cannot handle it in time.
So he cooperated with Xinghan Technology Company. Anyway, Xinghan Technology Company has its own branches all over the world. Although the number of employees in branches in various countries is not very large, it is at least much better than Polaris Game Company.
Currently, Xinghan Technology Company's branches in various countries are responsible for game promotion and local promotion cooperation, while Polaris Game Company itself is responsible for game technical issues.
In this case, Xinghan Technology Company's branches in various countries can obtain their own profits from game operation services, with a share of 10%.
Although the sharing fee is not high, the costs they bear are also small, such as server broadband costs, technical support costs and publicity costs, which are all borne by Polaris Games. They only provide personal assistance and publicity planning.
Moreover, the current Xinghan Technology Company does not want TX in the previous life, which needs to rely on game agents to maintain its huge source of profits. Their advertising revenue has not yet increased, and the cloud service platform revenue has reached hundreds of billions.
From here we can know the benefits brought by the cloud service platform. Without a cloud service platform, it would be very difficult to achieve global deployment. Each country needs to maintain a certain number of operation and maintenance personnel.
As for the charging model, there are two modes: time charging and monthly charging. The former is for the convenience of users who don’t have much time to play games every day, and the latter is for the convenience of users who have enough time.
The global monthly subscription fee is basically 30 yuan a month, which is equivalent to one yuan a day. If it is a time-based charging model, it is 0.15 yuan an hour.
In fact, the specific charging standards need to be determined according to the economic development level of each country. The above is just a benchmark price and is not set in stone.
To be honest, based on the current income, it is incomparable with their stand-alone games. In about half a year last year, it only brought them about 900 million yuan in income.
This game will not bring him more than 3 billion yuan in revenue every year. Although this revenue is already very powerful in the eyes of outsiders, compared with the current total revenue of Polaris Game Company, it is simply worthless. carry.
Although "World of Warcraft" can be considered very good, it is difficult to agree with everyone. Not everyone likes this style of game, so Polaris Game Company is preparing to develop various types of online games.
Currently, they are developing more than 10 online games, covering almost every style they can imagine. They hope to exceed the 10 billion yuan mark in revenue from online games this year.
In fact, in addition to "World of Warcraft", an online game that prefers a Western style, it has also launched an online game with a strong martial arts style. However, there is a big gap between the number of global users and "World of Warcraft".
The name of this game is "Martial Arts". There are 50 million registered users worldwide, but there are only 3 million daily active users worldwide, and the revenue it brought in last year was only 300 million yuan.
Many people abroad may have some intuitive understanding of Chinese Kung Fu, but their understanding of our country's martial arts culture is not particularly deep, so it is difficult to penetrate the hearts of foreign users.
However, Polaris Game Company did not choose to suspend operations because there were too few foreign users. Instead, it actively tried to find ways to get more users to like it.
The simplest thing is to popularize martial arts culture among foreign users. In order to achieve this goal, Polaris Game Company and Lime Entertainment Company cooperated to launch martial arts special effects movies.
In addition to having traditional Chinese martial arts style pictures, the most important thing is to convey the spirit of martial arts to the world and combine it with the current liberal spirit so that foreign audiences can understand it.
In fact, the meaning of chivalrous culture is very different from liberalism. However, if it is too Chinese, foreign audiences will not understand it, so it needs a gradual guidance process.
Therefore, there will not be one or two movies about chivalrous culture, but a series of movies, prepared from easy to difficult, to systematically explain our martial arts spirit, so that viewers who watch the complete series will fall in love with our country. martial arts culture.
Although he didn't know how effective it would be, at least Polaris Game Company was taking active actions, which he liked better and fully understood what he meant.
Then there is their casual game platform, which was also launched globally last year. By the end of last year, it had achieved revenue of 200 million yuan, which is not a bad result.
However, Zhao Yi suggested at the meeting that Polaris Games develop a children's educational game platform for teenagers and children. The platform consists of many children's games to expand the coverage of the game to teenagers and children.
In fact, as smartphones and tablets become more and more widely used, this type of platform games also have great potential for development, and it is more convenient for users to pay.
Last year, Polaris Game Company released 5 mobile games, with mixed results, but the total revenue was still considerable, reaching 1 billion yuan, and the performance was no worse than PC online games.
In fact, whether it is online games or mobile games, they are all in the cultivation stage. Zhao Yi is not disappointed with the current performance. In fact, he has done well.
If they continue to launch more popular online games in the future, it will inevitably accelerate the development of the online game market, and it is not impossible for annual operating income to exceed 100 billion yuan.
And compared with stand-alone games, online games have a very long operating life, can identify more users in advance, and continue to contribute revenue to game companies, which is incomparable to stand-alone games.
A good online game can bring revenue to the game company for more than ten or twenty years, so Polaris Game Company must dig out more gold mines in the field of online games.
And the more gold mines you dig, the more you can prevent other companies from entering this field and grabbing the market. Because there are so many players around the world, and game time is limited. The more you attract users, the less time users will have to play other games.
Zhao Yi then asked about the specific situation of the game city built by Polaris Game Company in Jiujiang. The reason why he asked in such detail was mainly because it was his hometown after all, so he was naturally more concerned about it.
Before he put related industries in Jiujiang, the industrial base there was very weak, and neither the urban area nor the annual GDP was very high.
Many Internet companies were established there, but Internet companies were a typical model of casting the net first and catching fish later. They did not bring much tax revenue to the local area in the early stage.
Therefore, the Polaris Game Company, which had a very good income at the time, was relocated there, which brought huge financial revenue to the local area. With the construction of Polaris Game City, the urban construction area more than doubled.
At the end of next year, the construction of Polaris Game City will gradually come to an end, and most of the buildings will be completed. By then, his Internet companies will all move into this new city to work.
This is not to say that other Internet companies do not have the money to build their own headquarters, but it is not necessary yet. The number of employees they have is not large, with tens of thousands of employees.
Unlike Fanxing Software Company, which has hundreds of thousands of employees in Kyoto alone, it built a large-scale software industrial park to provide convenience for itself and other software companies.
Judging from the revenue of the companies under his control last year, Jiujiang's economic development must have been very fast last year, because his Internet companies have begun to make profits one after another, and some companies have made substantial profits.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that these are software Internet industries, Jiujiang's human resources would simply not be enough to achieve such a scale of revenue.
However, the current higher education situation in Jiujiang is unable to support so many software and Internet companies. If the current employees were not more obedient to the arrangements, it would be very difficult to move so many people to Jiujiang.
Jiujiang's economy was not very good before. Many companies moved here without even a decent office space. Now these Internet companies are still crowded in the crowded office area.
If outsiders knew that the office environment of an Internet giant with an annual revenue of hundreds of billions of yuan was worse than that of an ordinary enterprise, I don’t know how they would feel.
These Internet companies also understand this and avoid employees getting upset over a long period of time. In addition, not only the office conditions here are poor, but the living conditions are also poor.
Previously, Jiujiang's urban area was very small, and its floating population was not large. With such a large migrant population suddenly added, there simply was not enough space to provide a comfortable living environment.
Many employees even sleep on the floor in the office. Those with families don't even dare to bring their wives and children because there is not much place to stay.
Therefore, these companies provide these employees with an office environment and living environment subsidy. This subsidy will not be phased out until their office environment and living environment are improved.
For employees in this era, as long as they make money, it doesn't matter if they work hard. Therefore, when they can receive a large subsidy every month, everyone's mood is relatively stable.
However, this is not a long-term solution, but urban construction does not happen overnight. It cannot be built all at once. Polaris Game Company's new city is already working overtime in order to complete it as soon as possible.
Since the construction of commercial areas takes more time, the construction speed of residential areas is still quite fast. After the year, residential buildings will gradually meet the occupancy standards. By then, the living environment of these employees will be greatly improved.
Of course, these companies pay a large amount of taxes, allowing the Jiujiang government to have enough funds to improve technical facilities and invest in education.
If we had only seen the huge revenue brought by Polaris Game Company before, then last year, what Zhao Yi said at the time was that the scale of output value brought by Internet high-tech enterprises was also very large, and it finally came true.
In order to better serve these high-tech enterprises, the Jiujiang Municipal Government not only continues to strengthen the service quality of relevant government departments, but also pays great attention to the city's education.
Tianwen University of Information Technology, which was previously invested and established by Zhao Yi, has been officially operational, but it will take several years to provide talents to the society. Moreover, this is a private university and does not require funding from the city government.
Therefore, they integrated several colleges and vocational schools originally located in the city to establish Jiujiang College, and invested heavily to attract more senior faculty to teach.
However, there is still some way to go to upgrade to a university. However, with the current financial resources of the Jiujiang Municipal Government, if you want to run a higher education institution, you will at least have sufficient financial resources.
In fact, dilemmas like these that occurred in the early days of the establishment of Internet companies also occurred in other companies under his ownership. At that time, both office space and living space were relatively tight across the country.
The companies he founded are relatively large in scale and develop very fast. Some companies have even become international giants in just two or three years, and their annual operating income is terrifying.
But it is not that easy to build a building, especially since our country's construction capabilities were not strong at that time, and it had not yet reached the point where it could take a few days to build a floor.
The grand headquarters office area like the Hualong Clothing Company introduced earlier was only gradually built four or five years later. Before that, the office and living environment for their employees were not very good.
Especially since they are located in Shenzhen, many of their employees are migrant workers, and they are also in the manufacturing industry. The number of employees is very large, which shows how stressful living is.
If it weren't for the emergency construction of a batch of temporary prefabricated houses, it would be really difficult to arrange for so many employees. The office area is similar, and they are basically squeezed into small temporary houses.
If the factory had not been able to use steel structures at that time, it would have been impossible to build such a huge factory and put it into production in a short period of time.
Even this kind of steel structure factory did not exist in the country at the time. It was a temporary emergency arrangement of parts produced by several of his companies. It only required simple construction and assembly.
Internet software companies like those can also free up some space from relevant government departments and institutions such as the municipal government. After all, the number of employees is limited, which is easier to solve.
For industrial manufacturing companies, it is actually very difficult to solve these problems. In addition, the prefabricated houses are not insulated, and the weather in Shenzhen is relatively hot, making summer a torture.
After the first batch of companies such as Hualong Clothing Company and Huansha Textile Company have laid a solid foundation in Shenzhen, other companies entering Shenzhen to develop will not have as hard work as before.
For example, when Baiwei Food Company was established, the headquarters directly borrowed the offices and staff rooms of Hualong Clothing Company. The environment was very good from the beginning. This is the saying of "predecessors plant trees, and future generations enjoy the shade."
So from this point of view, it was reasonable to give its employees salaries that were much higher than the average at the time. After all, they were the ones who accompanied the company through hard work.
Zhao Yi's companies will not fire employees easily. In addition to the fact that in his previous life he was tired of the kind of capitalists who fired employees at every turn, it is not without this reason.
Since the employees were willing to accompany them to start a business through hard work, there is no reason to let them pack up and leave after the company develops. Although the company is pursuing profits, it still needs to have some warmth.
Even if some employees cannot keep up with the pace of corporate development and gradually fall behind, the company will try its best to arrange jobs that are more suitable for them.
Even if some employees leave midway due to various reasons, their company will give them a large amount of compensation as compensation for their hard work with the company over the years, and they hope that with the help of this fund, they can continue to work hard in the company. Things are developing better outside.
It is precisely because of these various measures that his companies have experienced explosive development in both industrial and industrial scale, and there are many people with ulterior motives who want to make plans.
However, because its employees highly identify with the company and are united as one, many of their methods cannot be used at all, not only black ones, but also white ones.
Not to mention the importance of Zhao Yi's domestic reform at that time, all the central government bosses were staring at it, and it was not easy to take action below.
Let’s just say that the huge foreign exchange funds in his hands are also what local governments want. Otherwise, when he proposed to package the domestic semiconductor industry, it would have been so happy, wasn’t it just for the sake of foreign exchange
In fact, when his domestic industries continue to develop, the country will no longer be short of foreign exchange. Instead, he will worry that he has too much foreign exchange and must use part of it to balance international trade.
The situation of these Internet companies started in Jiujiang reminds Zhao Yi of the situation when he started his business. These are still good. There are still many ordinary people in China, but they cannot get a stable job.
Although he had gone through a period of difficult times when he was a child in his previous life, as the domestic economy generally improved, life became easier and easier. By the time he graduated from college, this situation was basically nowhere to be seen.
It was also after seeing the hard life of the people in the country at that time that he had a stronger desire to let them live a better life. As his ability becomes stronger now, he is getting closer and closer to this goal. (End of chapter)
