"You didn't hear me wrong, but you may have misunderstood it," Simon said. "Note, I'm just talking about the ban on video games, not the ban on the whole video game industry."
Chen Qing nodded, but said: "boss, I noticed, but what's the difference?"
[Reading welfare] give you a red envelope! Pay attention to the VX public and get it!
Simon didn't hide from Chen Qing, saying: "recently, around the anti terrorist elite ol, there is another saying in North America that online games will become the mainstream of electronic games in the future. The main idea is that online games will replace stand-alone games in the future. I don't think it will be the case in Europe and the United States, but in China, in short, the industrial trend can be artificially promoted."
Chen qingruo has some insight.
Simon noticed Chen Qing's expression and continued: "in China, the video game industry is basically occupied by piracy, so it is difficult for legitimate games to have much room to play. If you want China's game industry to return to the right track, online games that can eliminate piracy to a large extent is a way out. Therefore, my plan, first of all, is to push China to issue a ban on video games. Once again, it's not a complete ban on video games, but a ban only on the production and sales of stand-alone game equipment and a large number of illegal game halls, clearing the way for us to promote the trend of artificial manufacturing of online games in China. Do you understand? "
Chen Qing only noticed the recent hot "anti terrorism elite ol". She has just browsed the Research Report on the domestic game industry. As for the more detailed situation of the industry, she doesn't know much after all. However, Simon's words were very simple, and she immediately understood them. After a little consideration, she said, "boss, I know what you mean, but it's not easy to issue a ban on an entire industry. It involves too much."
"I know that too," Simon nodded, and then said, "but I've analyzed it in advance. It's not difficult if it works properly. First of all, video games are notorious in China, causing a lot of social problems. Countless parents with children hope that the government can intervene and rectify them. This is the basis of public opinion. First of all, you can operate in this aspect and choose some bad typical cases, such as some vicious crimes committed by minors in order to play games. I believe the relevant cases will be successful There are many, and then push the media to carry out large-scale reports and create momentum. "
Chen Qing heard her boss talk about the specific operation. She quickly wrote down a few notes on the memo in front of her and asked, "boss, what else?"
"What's more, interest is the most direct and effective way," Simon added. "China's game industry is booming because of the proliferation of piracy and unlicensed game halls. Although it seems to be very prosperous, most of them are in the gray area and can not provide the government with too much tax revenue. Even if the ban will hurt some mainframe manufacturers, the scale is not large, because the government has to pay more taxes Therefore, in terms of interests, there is little resistance to the ban. This grey industrial chain is prohibited, and then online games, because the relevant enterprises will carry out regular operations, which can not only provide a large amount of tax, but also avoid social problems such as minors' addiction to games to the greatest extent after they are included in the regulatory system. What you have to do is to make it clear to some people that it is not difficult to choose. "
Chen Qing quickly wrote down again that she had already begun to brew relevant lobbying plans in her mind.
Simon and Chen Qing wrote it down, and then showed her the draft agreement reached between igrit's ypay payment instrument and industrial and Commercial Bank of China: "finally, there is this one. I have read the draft. The only name is yifutong. Obviously, the team over there has used their heart. It seems very good to use the word "Yi" to connect this Chinese localized payment tool with igrit. However, I think it is still not good enough for image and affinity. To change it, let's call it yifubao, easy "Yi", baby's "Bao". This is a small matter. In addition, just look at the final amount of registered capital of US $100 million reached by the two sides, ICBC should be full of expectations for this cooperation, and they are not lack of influence in the upper level of China. You can unite and work together. "
This time, Chen Qing doesn't need Simon to explain more.
There is no doubt that China's major banks are inextricably linked with the top management, and even have their own corresponding influence.
ICBC is really looking forward to the cooperation of online payment tools.
Now that the company is established, the biggest problem is how to open up the situation.
Online games that need online payment are undoubtedly a good entry point. As long as the online game industry develops, in order to carry out convenient online payment, a large number of players will definitely open the e-Pay service.
On the other hand, there is also a reason why ypay was designated as ICBC in this cooperation with China.
Therefore, as long as the interests of the disputes with the industrial and Commercial Bank of China are clear, there will certainly help promote the ban on video games.
All in all, it must be right to bring the other party in.
With this in mind, Chen Qing wrote it down again in her memo notebook and said to Simon: "boss, this is a great idea. By the way, can you give us some other ideas? "
Simon said, "it's very simple, e-commerce."As the development of China's Internet industry lags behind, igrit's business in China is mainly in the aspects of portal website, e-mail, etc., which belongs to the basic standard configuration in the Internet 1.0 era. As for e-commerce, due to the immature opportunity in all aspects, Amazon has not yet carried out business in China.
To sum up, China Telecom received US $3 billion last month and reached technical cooperation with AOL. With the spread of broadband network construction plan, the relevant self financing will drop sharply again. Next year, China's Internet users will usher in an outbreak.
So now is the time to do more.
Of course, Chen Qing knows about e-commerce: "boss, igrit China branch is already discussing this matter with the U.S. headquarters. I mean, is there anything else?"
"It's still e-commerce," Simon said with a smile. "But you can innovate. You don't need to focus on Amazon. For example, open an online appliance store, just like the very popular appliance stores in China these years. Imagine that the network appliance store does not need a physical store or a large number of employees. How much labor and store costs can be saved? The saved expenses can be returned to users in the form of promotion discount as a discount, so as to promote their online consumption. In this process, EFB can also develop its own business. "
Chen Qing's brain is very smart, Simon a little bit dial, immediately understand, again quickly write down, look at his notes, looked up and said: "boss, this seems to involve logistics problems?"
Simon nodded: "e-commerce will become an important industry in the information age. And online shopping, certainly can not avoid logistics, therefore, express logistics is also a good investment direction, you can now look for investment in some related enterprises, or, directly around the relevant city stores, develop their own logistics network. All in all, there are opportunities everywhere. "
Chen Qing's eyes were bright, nodded her head, thought of one thing, and then said: "boss, there's another question, how can EFB make a profit? We find that the charging rate of ypay in the United States is getting lower and lower, and now it's free even for ordinary users?"
Simon shook his head slightly: "this is a long-term investment. Don't think about making any profit in the short term. You can take EFB as an Internet infrastructure project, which is unlikely to make money in 30 or 50 years. However, when it develops to a certain scale and becomes the largest payment tool of China's Internet platform, you can't even make a profit. "
"Boss, the problem is, in the short term," Chen Qing said, and quickly explained, "I don't lack a long-term vision, but in ICBC, they need performance?"
"Have you ever heard of the saying that the loss inside the dyke is compensated outside the dyke?"
Chen Qing thought about it and said, "what the boss means is that he wants ICBC to invest in projects together. Well, it's just like the online electrical appliance store?"
"Yes, in addition, there is express logistics, which can let them in and have a share," Simon said. "Compared with basic tools like EFB, such as online appliance stores, as long as they can do a good job, they can carry out IPO operation in the future. Once they are listed, the return will be immediate.",. That's what they want. In addition, there are the online games I just mentioned. In a word, let them take another sum of money to set up a venture capital department and make binding investment with EFB. "
Simon said, only feeling that China's future Internet industry has deviated more and more from what it used to be.
But whatever.
As long as the vistrow system can't get away with what it deserves, cooperation with Chinese officials is more secure in many ways.
Then he thought of one thing, Simon told him: "by the way, remember the card better, that is, we must be responsible for the operation of related investment projects, ICBC should concentrate on being its own shareholder, and don't interfere."
"Well."
Of course, Chen Qing understands why her boss said that.
After all, it's state-owned enterprises, such as efficiency In a word, we can share the share, but we can't delay it.
"So, finally, how long do you think the ban on video game machines will be completed?"
Chen Qing thought for a moment and said, "it will take at least half a year, boss. You have to understand that if you really want to launch this ban, it will involve many domestic departments, including the Ministry of culture, the Ministry of public security, the Ministry of electronic industry and even the customs. In short, it is impossible in a short time."
"In fact, I'm not in a hurry," Simon said with a smile. "Anyway, after you've finished this, the anti terrorist elite ol will write down a few notes on its own memo again, and this topic will end here. Chen Qing raised her head and said," boss, is there anything else? "
"Yes," Simon said with a smile, "it's still a small matter. In South Korea, after the agreement with SK is finalized, you can take a sum of money to build a chain of Internet cafes in South Korea. A large-scale chain of Internet cafes will be spread across the country."
With SK's accumulation in South Korea's telecom field, it's easy to do Internet bar chain business by the way.
Chen Qing thought about it and said, "boss, Internet cafes are not a good investment. The initial investment is too large and the return period is too long?""I remember that there was a pacifier plan attached to the cultural nation building plan for South Korea. Have you read it?"
"Of course."
"This large-scale Internet bar chain is a pacifier. Don't pay too much attention to the return, it should be a strategic investment. You know, in the next few years, the life of Korean people will be very difficult, so we should give them enough channels to relieve pressure and paralyze themselves. I have checked that the Internet penetration rate in South Korea is only 26%, higher than that in China, but far lower than that in North America. Therefore, large Internet bar chains can be used as a supplement. With enough networked PC platforms, I will push anti terrorist elite OL and other games to South Korea as content. "
Chen Qing understood, nodded, and suggested: "boss, in this case, we can also invest in the Internet bar chain in China, but there are people above us, and can we cooperate with China Telecom?"
"This is of no strategic significance to China. The disadvantages you just mentioned are highlighted. If you want to do it, you should invest on your own."
Chen Qing spat out her tongue, but said: "boss, I remember in the United States, in order to speed up the promotion of the Internet, you used to do the Internet bar chain in the early days, so as to let more people contact the Internet. I think this is also of strategic significance to China?"
"Not the same," Simon said, "people on both sides of China and the United States have different attitudes towards Internet cafes. In China, Internet cafes and game halls are similar in status. They are both tiger's den. Parents with the ability to consume see that in order to avoid their children learning bad, they just don't want to install broadband at home, so they have no such strategic significance as you said."
"Well, boss, you see it through. I admire you more and more."
"Well, earth people, you have no secrets in front of me."
"Ha ha..." With a smile, Chen Qing straightened her waist and moved closer to the camera. Her voice was soft: "boss, I have a secret. Do you want to see it?"
When she talked about a certain word, she obviously changed her tone, and the pronunciation of the two words was a little flat.
Simon shook his head firmly: "stop the car, it will be 404."
Chen Qing blinked suspiciously.
Well.
My boss began to say strange things that he didn't understand.
