After the meeting between Liu Yun and Chen Zifeng, the two left the private mountain in two different directions.

He drove to pick up Su Yuhan, accompanied her for a day, and then took a plane directly from Shanghai to Yanjing.

The annual Internet conference, officially held in Yanjing Zhongguancun, Liu Yun, as the founder of Yoyo, will inevitably become one of the invited objects.

This time, the Internet conference is special because at this point in time, the core point of the Internet is gradually moving from the PC segment to the mobile segment.

The wave of mobile Internet has been rolled in with the surging tide of the naked eye.

This will also be the focus of the Internet Conference.

Liu Yun just walked to the door of the venue and saw a Sohu president, Zhang Chaoyang.

The playboy stood at the door and saw himself, and took the initiative to come up to say hello, which surprised him.

"Is this guy waiting for himself?"

In his mind, just flashed this idea, the other party has come to the front, extended their hands, full of smiles: "Liu, know you are coming, but I deliberately come to the door to wait for you."

Liu Yun flashed a color of doubt and nodded and smiled, "Luckily, Zhang General."

By this time in 2010, Sohu had already ended, and even a second-rate Internet company could not talk about it.

In another time and space, "Tianlong 8", as well as the Sogou input method, is their last glory.

However, today, the agency of Tianlong is in the hands of Yoyo, and the Sogou input method has not been frightful, and it is completely suppressed by the yo-yo input method.

Under the disheart from the discouragement, Zhang Chaoyang actually had a few years earlier, and had already gone in and out of the state of semi-retired.

As one of the patriennasmen who opened the era of the Internet in China, money has and there is a name, and there is no incentive for him to continue to adhere to it.

However, this Internet conference, many people with faces in the industry have come, and this guy is in a semi-retirement state, it is normal to make fun of it.

Zhang Chaoyang was very enthusiastic to pull Liu Yun and sat down in the position on the side.

The two talked for a while, and Liu Yun finally understood each other's intentions.

The five-year agency of the original Dragon 8 is about to expire.

In 2005, Yoyo and Sohu signed an agency contract for the game and obtained five years of operating rights.

From today's perspective, this is a decision that Zhang Chaoyang regrets for life, and it is the biggest misstep in his professional resume.

It expires, will it continue to be renewed?

Liu Yun blinked silently, thinking about the problem in his heart.

Although the profits brought to Yoyo every year are many, as high as about 500 million yuan, the system of yo-yo games is not enough to have a core position.

Several games of Yoyo Agent, Liu Yun is most concerned about "World of Warcraft", as well as "Dungeon and Warrior" agency rights.

The former, Liu Yun took the trouble, hard and soft, under various schemes, so that some Internet companies in the Huaxia region had to retreat; as for the latter, there were nearly three years left before the expiration of the contract, he was not in a hurry.

As for the "Tianlong Eight", if it is not mentioned by Zhang Chaoyang today, it may have already been forgotten by Liu Yun to a certain place.

"In fact, the manager of the Yuyou game department talked to me about the renewal of the contract."Zhang Chaoyang saw Liu Yunwei frowned and continued, “But I did not give a reply.”I want to talk to you personally."

He observed Liu Yun's expression and realized that most of the other party did not remember the matter, and Yoyo's management may not have reported it.

He felt that some of the "Tianlong Eight", which was regarded as the focus in Sohu's eyes, may be disobedient in Liu Yun's eyes.

Although Zhang Chaoyang is now in a state of semi-retirement, he also hopes to leave some wealth to Sohu before he officially retires.

After all, handing over the agency of Tianlong Eight to Yoyo, rather than running his own business, is the most regrettable thing he has ever done.

“Mr. Liu, frankly, after the expiration of the proxy period.I hope to get back the operation of the "Tianlong Eight"."Zhang Chaoyang said very sincerely.

He raised his eyebrows and then blinked his eyes.

If he really wants to get the agent back, why come to me?After the contract expires, take it back.

"I'm really grateful to Sohu for this game."Liu Yun said very seriously, "In the course of yo-yo development, it has played a very important role."

This is his true word.

At that time, Yoyo's operating income, the fire of "World of Warcraft" accounted for more than 90% of the proportion.

Blizzard felt that this agent fee and profit sharing were low, too cheap, and tried to pull NetEase in as a bargaining chip to modify the agreement.

Without the game of "Dragon Eight", Yoyo will rely on "World of Warcraft" like the nine cities of his previous life, and then be led by Blizzard, difficult and very passive.

It is this game that changes Yoyo's extremely unreasonable proportion of revenue, so that they have the confidence to negotiate with Blizzard.

"Of course, I believe that the success of this game can not be separated from the excellent operation of Yoyo, if you can't do it well in the hands of other companies."

Zhang Chaoyang thought that Liu Yun was referring to Sohu, but the other side said the peak, mentioned another and "Dianlong eight" side of the domestic online game "Sword Man Love Three": "General Zhang, you see the "Sword Network 3" is like this, Yoyo and grand operation at the same time, but the effect is different.So sometimes you can't just look at the game, and the level of running the company is also important."

Sure enough, this boy had something to say, and this was turning to himself.If this game is taken back by Sohu, you may not be able to make such a profit as Yoyo.

Zhang Chaoyang smiled somewhat helplessly, and continued: "Take back the right to operate is only one of the plans, if you continue to act, what kind of conditions can be opened?"

Liu Yun smiled and replied: “Conditional aspects.”I remember the original agent fee is 18 million, then double, 35 million how?"

He was still very friendly, after all, when he and Blizzard company talked about renewing the contract, because of the big business, but not so polite.

But Zhang Chaoyang is still a little dissatisfied, back: "The profit of this game is at least 500 million, 35 million agent fees are too low."If you see the renewal contract of World of Warcraft, the agent fee you gave me was 30 million US dollars, and I didn't ask for it, and 100 million yuan would be fine."

This guy is a real lion talking.

Liu Yun is eager to tell the other party that the conditions offered by NetEase are more than 50 million US dollars, plus not a low profit sharing, of course, this is another time and space.

In this time and space, Netease has been melodious, and the courage to make a quotation is gone.

“Do you know how many years our contract with Blizzard was renewed?”

“Five years?”

“No, it’s only been three years.”

“Why?”

Liu Yun took a deep breath and replied: "General Zhang, in the next few years, the revenue of PC-end games will decline, especially in this kind of role-playing game, especially."Even "World of Warcraft", which once won the throne of the global online game king, has also shown a downward trend in revenue that began this year.

So I'm going to take three years, and if the game's revenue goes down after three years, of course, we'll re-agreak the deal."

Zhang Chaoyang nodded his head somewhat.He thought of the "League of Legends" that is now hot all over the world, and the "Crossing the Line of Fire" that also blazes throughout Huaxia.

What makes him even more jealous is that the studios of these two games have already been acquired by Yoyo.

How much financial benefits can this boy bring to this child every year?

In addition to jealousy, there is more envy in the heart.

But think about it, the money in your pocket has not been spent in this life, and now you enjoy life so much, happy life, it is also very good.

With that in mind, Zhang Chaoyang’s mood is obviously much better.

His character has always been more optimistic.

"General Zhang, I believe that in the market, other Internet companies, it is impossible to come up with a hundred million agent fees for the game of "Dragon Eight."The grand example is here, and once a game is changed agent, it is the beginning of its downhill path.”Liu Yun said with great gravity.

Even with the popularity of World of Warcraft and the loyalty of players, after replacing it with NetEase from Nine Cities, it is impossible to avoid weakening.

Although the server quality of NetEase is much higher than that of the small overlord server in Jiucheng.

"This..." Zhang Chaoyang is obviously worried about this, once the agency is taken back, there are a lot of problems.

At that time, many things may have to do on their own, this day is now so free.

He had no ambition when he founded Sohu, and he was used to this day of making money.

He just wanted to leave a fortune to Sohu before he officially retired.

The headache is also the problem of yo-yo passes.

All the player accounts of the "Tianlong Eight" are bound under the yo-yo pass, and then one by one, and then re-bound to the Sohu Pass.

If you want to know that this game has millions of registered accounts, think about it, it will be a very large amount of work.

“80 million?”

Willow shook his head.

“75 million?”

Liu Yun continued to shake his head, and then gave a number: "35 million, you can sign for 3 years; 50 million, you have to sign a year."I have to see the market reaction.”

The two conditions he gave were very sincere in Liu Yun's own eyes.

“A year of signing?”

Zhang Chaoyang silently read a sentence, some puzzled asked: "Liu, this is too troublesome."

Liu Yun smiled and pointed to the big screen on the front stage and said: "General Zhang, what is the core of the Internet conference we participated in?"

Zhang Chaoyang has been a little out of the public's sight in recent years, but he is still very aware of the development of the Internet industry.

He did not think about it, so he replied: "The core is to discuss the profound impact of the mobile Internet era after the arrival of the era of mobile Internet."

Liu Yun nodded and smiled, “So I can’t personally eat how many players will still stick to the PC computer with great interest.”

Zhang Chaoyang lowered his voice and said, “Willow always thinks that the hand tour will be popular in the next few years.”I think it is still a little too early, today's smartphone configuration can only play some relatively small games, can not replace those large online games.Even Apple's iPhone 4, which Apple's production next month, will not change this situation."

Liu Yun sighed and said, "More than mobile games, but also in the PC-side web game because of its ease of operation, it will divert a lot of end-game players."This year’s fire page, for example, is like this.

Today's pace of life is getting faster and faster, and many people like the kind of easy-to-relax game, and the time-consuming and large-scale tour may not be the first choice for many people."

Zhang Chaoyang frowned, pondered for a while, and found that today's online game market does have this wave of trends.

The revenue of large-scale travel is constantly decreasing.

In particular, the popularity of "League of Legends" is also changing the game habits of many players, and has gradually become the first choice for many end-game players.

Zhang Chaoyang whispered, “President Liu, can you tell me what the next dragon will do this year, and what is the revenue?”

Liu Yun showed a helpless tone and replied: "Compared to the slight decline in previous years, it is estimated that in the second half of the year, the downward trend will be more obvious."Of course, that's also to be expected."

At this moment, there are only two choices in front of Zhang Chaoyang: 35 million years, and 5,000 if a year.

Liu Yun looked at each other and added: "I think in the next few years, the active users of large-scale online games on the PC side will show a downward trend."Perhaps in three years, whether it is "World of Warcraft" or "Dragon 8", we have no interest in continuing to act.

“Have you decided to make a choice?”

Zhang Chaoyang asked another question: "Liu, if I choose the agent fee of 50 million a year, it seems to be re-agreed according to the turnover after the expiration of next year."

Liu Yun smiled and said, “Of course.If I sign it every year, I even think that next year, the amount of the agent fee will be less than 35 million."

With the passing of the golden age of the PC-end large-end tour, there were also hot Internet cafes.

Smartphones are constantly upgrading, so that Internet cafes are no longer as they used to be.

An Internet cafe, want to be full of the situation, it is difficult to appear again.

At first glance, you are basically playing League of Legends, and only a very few people are still playing the big end of RPG.

Liu Yun himself, in fact, the interest in "Dianlong Eight" is not much, he wants to leave this game, just to let Yoyo continue to maintain an absolute advantage in the online market market.

Especially today, the center of gravity of the yo-yo game group has already gradually shifted to the mobile end.

After contemplating for a while, Zhang Chaoyang finally gave his own decision: the agent fee of 35 million, signed for three years.

This is the last fortune he left for Sohu.

Liu Yun smiled and said, "Congratulations Zhang, this is a wise decision."

Three years later, its agency fee may be less than 10 million.
