At the end of June, Miracle Mu started its closed beta.
However, the closed beta period was not long, only about half a month. Shen Qianru had already confirmed that the public beta would be held on July 10th…
Li Ze didn't ask much about this.
With the experience of operating Legend of Mir 2, Li Ze believed that Shen Qianru could also make Miracle Mu.
No matter what, Legend of Mir 2 had a mature offline team system. At the same time, there was an alliance network management system, as well as the Internet cafe channels that were opened up all over the country when Legend of Mir 2 was operating.
In the shortest time possible, Miracle Mu's client could be installed on countless computers in internet cafes of all sizes.
However, at the end of June, the general manager of Fengchi Electric Vehicle Company, Song Ming, came to find him.
"President Li, I came to look for you this time because I have something to ask you…"
Song Ming said.
"Oh? Manager Song, please speak!"
Li Ze was a little surprised and immediately said.
Song Ming slowed down a little, as if he was organizing his speech, and then said,"President Li, our Fengchi electric vehicle can be said to have occupied more than half of the domestic electric vehicle market.”
"However, the overall economic level and consumption level in the country are still relatively limited.”
"Our current two electric cars, Fengchi No. 1 and Fengchi No. 2, are not cheap. Therefore, for the time being, the domestic market is already a little saturated.”
Song Mingwei paused for a moment and added,""Of course, I've also done some careful research recently and checked some of the economic indicators in the country since this year.”
"Since our country joined the World Trade Organization at the end of last year, the growth rate of the national economy seems to be quite significant. I have a hunch that in the next two to three years, the domestic electric vehicle market is likely to usher in a period of rapid growth.”
" However, just from the current situation, if we want to increase the sales of our Fengchi electric cars, I think we can look to the foreign market…"
Hearing Song Ming's words, Li Ze was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but glance at Song Ming in surprise.
After acquiring the " Green Electric Vehicle Company " and changing its name to " Fengchi Electric Vehicle Company ", Li Ze originally only planned to let Song Ming continue to take over the position of general manager.
If he did not do well enough, he was ready to change players at any time.
However, Song Ming had always done his job very well and was very conscientious.
At this moment, his words, especially when he mentioned that he had specially conducted research and checked the various economic indicators of the country this year, made Li Ze look at him in a new light.
"Manager Song, your idea is not bad." Li Ze said after a moment of silence. We really don't have to focus on this small piece of land in the country.”
"Moreover, as you said, after our country joined the World Trade Organization, we can clearly feel that the development of all walks of life is increasing, including the income level of the people.”
"But this is not enough. With the price of our two electric cars, many people can't afford them for the time being.”
"Therefore, it is indeed a feasible idea to look at the overseas market at this time. However, Manager Song, which market are you planning to enter?”
"If it's Europe or America, I'm afraid the market for electric vehicles won't be too big. The economic level there was too high. It could be said that everyone had a car and there was not much demand for electric cars.”
Song Ming was obviously prepared for this. He said,"President Li, I think the Southeast Asian market will be a good choice.”
"As you said just now, there isn't much room for the development of electric vehicles in Europe and the United States. But Southeast Asia is different. Southeast Asia is somewhat similar to our country to a certain extent.”
"I've had some understanding of the market there before. The sales of motorcycles there are very shocking. "As an electric car that is similar to motorcycles but much cheaper, I think the sales should not be bad.”
"Although our electric bike can't compare to a motorcycle, it can still reach a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. It's not considered slow and can basically meet the needs of short-distance commutes.”
"Therefore, I think the Southeast Asian market will be a new sales and profit growth point for our company. If President Li agrees, I can personally lead a team to Southeast Asia to open up the market.”
"We'll return to the country after the channels there are opened! If everything goes smoothly, I think half a year should be enough…"
After saying that, Song Ming looked at Li Ze quietly, waiting for his answer.
This time, Song Ming had taken the initiative to open up a market in Southeast Asia.
He knew very well that he wasn't Li Ze's direct subordinate, even if Li Ze didn't touch him and let him continue to be in charge of Fengchi Electric Vehicle Company.
However, he knew that if he could not make some contributions, Li Ze would replace him at any time without hesitation if he had a better candidate.
Another thing was that Song Ming had naturally heard that after Zerun Technology went public, those executives had become millionaires or even billionaires.
Even the ordinary employees of Zerun Technology had more or less made a lot of money through the initial shares that the company had sold before it went public.
How could Song Ming not be envious?
Naturally, he also hoped that one day, if Fengchi Electric Vehicle Company could be listed, he could become a millionaire or even a billionaire.
Therefore, this time, he decided to give it his all.
He would personally go to Southeast Asia to open up the market there for the company.
As long as he succeeded, Li Ze would definitely take note of it and treat him well.
Li Ze was surprised again when he heard that Song Ming had volunteered to explore the Southeast Asian market.
" It seems like this Song Ming is really willing to do something!'
" But that's good too. If he can really open up the Southeast Asian market, it's not impossible for him to completely secure the position of the general manager of Fengchi electric vehicles.。'
"Since Manager Song is so determined, then go ahead and do it." Li Ze said. If Manager Song can really open up the Southeast Asian market for the company, I can promise you in advance that I will give you no less than 1% of the company's stock options!”
Song Ming was overjoyed when he heard this.
Although 1% of the options didn't seem high, Fengchi electric cars were now the overlord of the domestic industry.
Especially if the domestic electric vehicle market really developed rapidly as he expected, then the sales volume, revenue, and even valuation of Fengchi electric vehicles would definitely soar.
At that time, he would be able to obtain at least 1% of the options. The value would be huge!
Song Ming immediately suppressed the excitement in his heart and patted his chest as he promised,""President Li, don't worry. No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely open up the Southeast Asian market for the company!”
"Very good! Then, Manager Song, I wish you success. Also, before you leave for Southeast Asia to open up the market, remember to arrange the company's affairs.”
Li Ze said with a smile.
"Alright, President Li!"
Song Ming quickly responded.
"Then…CEO Li, if you don't have any other instructions, I'll take my leave first…"
"Okay, go!"
Li Ze nodded.
After Song Ming left, Li Ze could not help but take out a cigarette from the drawer and light it. After taking a light puff, he muttered to himself,"Fengchi electric cars are indeed a good choice to enter the Southeast Asian market.”
" Let's see if Song Ming can really open up the Southeast Asian market…"
……
Not long after Song Ming left, Li Ze's phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was from Brony from Penguin. Li Ze was a little surprised.
Brony rarely took the initiative to call him when he had nothing to do.
It seemed like there was something going on.
Hence, Li Ze immediately picked up the phone and asked with a smile,""Boss Ma, why did you call me?”
Brony's voice immediately came from the phone.""President Li, I just got off the plane. Is it convenient for me to find a place to talk later?”
Hmm?
"CEO Ma, you mean…you're here in Shanghai?" Li Ze asked in surprise.”
"Yes, I happened to have something to settle in Shanghai. I also wanted to learn from you.”
Brony said with a smile.
"Oh? Learn from me?"
Li Ze was a little surprised, but he immediately said,""It's almost time to get off work. I'll get someone to book a place later. Then, CEO Ma, you can come over directly.”
"Alright. Then we'll talk when we meet later…"
"Good!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Ze immediately called Mu Qinglan and instructed,""Xiaomu, help me book a table at a nearby restaurant. I'm going to receive a friend.”
"Okay, President Li."
Mu Qinglan hurriedly replied.
Soon, Mu Qinglan helped Li Ze book a restaurant and told him the address.
Li Ze also called Brony back and told him the address.
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Li Ze left the company first and asked the driver, Jiang Ming, to drive him to the restaurant that Mu Qinglan had booked.
About half an hour later, Brony finally arrived.
"Boss Ma, long time no see. How have you been?”
Li Ze said with a smile.
Brony smiled and said,"President Li, I haven't congratulated your Zerun Technology on its successful listing on the US's NASA!"”
"In addition, I heard that after Zerun Technology went public, its stock price has been rising. It seems that the stock price of Zerun Technology has exceeded 30 US dollars in the past few days, right?”
Li Ze smiled and nodded." I think it just broke the 30-dollar mark two days ago!"”
Although he hadn't paid much attention to Zerun Technology's stock price during this period of time, he still had some understanding.
At present, Zerun Technology's share price had just broken through 30 USD, and the latest closing price was 30.12 USD.
Upon hearing this, Brony said enviously,""In that case, Zerun Technology's market value has already exceeded four billion USD.”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Li Ze could not help but be speechless. Then, he hurriedly called Brony to take a seat.
After Brony sat down, he asked,""By the way, CEO Ma, you said on the phone that you came to look for me this time because you want to learn from me?”
"What's going on?"
Seeing that Li Ze was asking about serious matters, Brony became more serious and said,"President Li, to be honest, I have plans to let Penguin Corporation represent an online game to try.”
At this point, Brony glanced at Li Ze and continued,""Our QQ chat has hundreds of millions of registered users, and even active users have reached 30 to 40 million.”
"However, the revenue is lacking.”
"Now that the online game market is so popular, I plan to try to enter the game field. Boss Li, your Legend of Mir 2 is the well-deserved overlord of the current domestic online game companies.”
"I just wanted to come and learn from you…"
Hearing Brony's words, Li Ze was a little surprised.
However, Li Ze didn't care about Brony's intention to let Penguin Corporation enter the online gaming industry.
After all, the domestic game market was so big, and there were many game companies. Legend Games couldn't possibly take over the entire market.
Therefore, Li Ze didn't mind Penguin Corporation entering this market.
Moreover, he held 46% of Penguin Corporation's shares!
In other words, half of Penguin Corporation was his, and nearly half of the money earned would belong to him.
Li Ze could understand Brony's thoughts.
QQ chat could be said to have the largest user base on the domestic Internet, but it had been suffering from no way to cash in. Even though Penguin had already made a profit from the DreamNet business.
However, Brony was obviously not satisfied with that little profit.
Li Ze thought for a moment and said,""How about this, Boss Ma? If you have time, you can make a trip to Legend of Mir 2.”
"If you have anything you want to ask, you can just ask CEO Shen of Legend of Mir 2. I've already handed over all the matters regarding Legend of Mir 2 to CEO Shen.”
"Therefore, President Shen is more clear than me about the specific operations of the game and has a deeper understanding.”
At this point, Li Ze paused for a moment as if he had thought of something. Then, he said,"However, if Boss Ma is also planning to go to the Kimchi Nation to represent the game, I suggest that you get the game's source code.”
"Or we can just buy the game development company directly to save trouble in the future.”
Brony was stunned. He could not help but ask in confusion,"Why? Is there anything particular about this?"
Although he had the intention to let Penguin get involved in the online game industry, he didn't know much about it.
Therefore, he did not understand why Li Ze wanted him to get the game's source code or directly acquire the other party's company.
Li Ze smiled bitterly and explained,""There are too many bugs in the online games made by the Kimchi Nation.”
"Even though I've already handed the Legend of Mir 2 to CEO Shen, when I was still in charge of the game, I would occasionally hear reports from my subordinates that various bugs had appeared in the game.”
"I've also asked the development team of The Legend of Mir 2. Basically, most of the games produced by the Kimchi Nation are in the same situation. It can be said that bugs are everywhere, and they have to be fixed continuously.”
"And if you can't get the source code for the game you represent, it'll be so annoying. Once there was a BUG in the game, the company in Kimchi Nation might not be able to solve it in time.”
"The other problem is the version update.”
"Simply put, if you can't get the source code, you'll have to be controlled by others. It would be fine if the game wasn't popular, but once it became popular, there might be a pile of dirty things.”
"So, I suggest that you either directly acquire the other company or get the source code.”
" In this way, whether it's the discovery of bugs or the development and update of subsequent versions, we can control them ourselves and fix and update them at any time. We don't have to depend on others for everything!”
"If the other party deliberately dragged it out, they might even drag the game down…"
Upon hearing Li Ze's words, Brony suddenly understood." I see! It seems that we really have to get the source code…"
After that, Li Ze briefly explained to Brony some things that needed to be taken note of in the operation of online games.
However, what Li Ze said was still relatively general and shallow.
As for the details, Li Ze asked Brony to visit Legend of Mir 2 when he had time. He could ask Shen Qianru for advice.
After talking about the game, Li Ze and Brony also talked about the development of Penguin.
Just as Brony mentioned, the number of registered users on QQ had already exceeded 100 million, and the number of active users had reached 30 to 40 million!
Another reason was that Penguin had been able to make a huge profit this year thanks to its DreamNet business. In the first half of the year, its net profit had already exceeded 60 million!
This was five times more than the profit from last year!
Although this bit of profit was nothing to Li Ze, compared to other domestic internet companies that were still burning money and losing money, Penguin Corporation's situation was much better!
At the very least, they had a good ability to make profits.
They could rely on their own blood to maintain operations and development. They did not need to constantly burn investors 'money like other Internet companies.
He chatted with Brony for a long time.
The meal was only finished at eight o'clock in the evening.
As Brony had other matters to attend to tomorrow, he made an appointment with Li Ze to visit Legend of Mir 2 the day after tomorrow to learn from Shen Qianru and ask about the specific situation of online game operations.
Li Ze agreed.
He told him to go directly to Zerun Holding Group to find him, and then he would bring him to Legend of Mir 2.
After saying goodbye to Brony, Li Ze asked Jiang Ming to send him home…
