Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

Such as Center International.

Why is Center International not as good as TSMC.

In addition to some differences in technology, the bigger reason is the equipment.

Such as photolithography machine.

The lithography machine ordered by Center International in the past few months was still produced in 1998.

You can imagine.

Even if Center International has such technology, it cannot produce high-end chips without a corresponding lithography machine.

Fortunately, now is the era of feature phones, and there is not much demand for high-end chips.

If we enter the era of smart phones, the advantages of Europe and the United States are simply unparalleled.

But even so, the era of smartphones has slowly surfaced.

For example, Nokia's high-end phones have now adopted high-end chips and launched smart phones.

Although this kind of smartphone is different from the smartphones of the previous life, many powerful mobile phone manufacturers in the world have already moved in this direction.Then, in the past life, in 2007, the iPhone was launched, which caused a worldwide sensation in one fell swoop.

Of course, Chen Yu had thought of Li Biqing's thoughts a long time ago.

It's not that he doesn't know that there is this Wassenaar agreement, and it's not that he doesn't know that Europe, the United States and the West will impose various restrictions on him.

But not all agreements in this world can always be followed.

Although each country is headed by the United States, each country still considers its own interests first.

They had always abided by such an agreement before, but the benefits they enjoyed were not big enough.

As long as it is large enough, such an agreement is not without any loopholes.

In fact, in many fields in the previous life, the Vasenaar agreement was not so unbreakable.

Europe, America and Japan are by no means of one mind.

This is actually the same as Chen Yu sending friends into the United States.

He just wants to bind these capitals to himself and make them and himself a community of interests.

Make money for themselves, and they make money too.

If he is finished, they are also finished.

In addition, Taijidian did the same.

Why is Taijidian so awesome? In fact, they are also bound to ASML in the Netherlands.

TSMC is doing well, and ASML is also doing well.

TSMC is finished, and ASML will not have a better life.

"Mr. Chen, what did you say?"

Seeing Chen Yu muttering to himself, Zou Tao asked.

"The Wassenaar Agreement."

"The Wassenaar Agreement?"

"Oh, I mean our game."

Of course, the Vasenaar Agreement has nothing to do with online games.

Temporarily clearing this piece in his mind, Chen Yu returned to the game.

"Zou Tao, how many times have our battles been online at the same time?"

"Mr. Chen, it will break 60 tomorrow."

"A little less."

Chen Yu shook his head.

"That's not enough."

Zou Tao was a little depressed: "Mr. Chen, how long has our game been launched, and 60 simultaneous online games have already broken all previous records."

"That can't be said like that. In the past, we used paid games, and we could break 50 simultaneous online games a month. Free games, no matter how you say it, have to break 100 million to see."

"Mr. Chen, I..."

Zou Tao wanted to hit the wall.

In Chen Yu's eyes, this game has to break 100 million simultaneous online players.

But it is.

There is only Huanyu Technology.

If it were another company, let alone 100 million simultaneous online, they would have to celebrate 10 simultaneous online.

"Why, Zou Tao, can't you do it?"

"This one……"

Zou Tao felt the pressure, but he still said: "Mr. Chen, although the online game market is constantly growing, the strength of various game companies is also improving rapidly. Although our games are good, we need to grab players from other game companies. It will take a lot of time to come here."

"It's so hard to grab players from other games. If you have this skill, it's better to open up a new battlefield."

"A new battlefield?"

Zou Tao asked puzzledly, "What new battlefield?"

"Fifth and sixth tier city markets."

Chen Yu said: "In fact, it is also sinking the market."

This market is the same as Chen Yu's model of selling mobile phones at that time.

In the past, a large number of mobile phones were sold to the main labor force in society, and they were also the main earners in society.

These groups have high incomes, large consumption, and the ability to consume.

So a mobile phone costs more than 1000 yuan, and they don't think it is too expensive, nor can they afford it.

But the market is actually not that big.

Is there no need for mobile phones except for the main labor force?

For example, full-time wives at home, parents and elders, and student groups.

These groups, to be honest, are the most important groups in this society.

Although they don't have much money, they also have the demand for consumer mobile phones.

The same is true for online games now.

All previous game companies, including Universal Technology, paid the most attention to the first- and second-tier markets.

Later, the market was gradually transferred to the third and fourth tiers.

But now the third and fourth lines have reached the bottleneck.

The real potential lies in the fifth and sixth tiers, the so-called rural markets in small towns.

Chen Yu continued to explain: "At present, the Internet in our country is developing rapidly, and Internet cafes have appeared in various cities and towns one after another. This has given a large number of rural residents the opportunity to access the Internet. The most important need for them to access the Internet is to play games."

In fact, this can also be seen from urbanization.

At present, China's urban rate is only about 40%, which is still unrealistically high, and there are still more than 50% of the rural population.

This group of people has not been valued by others before, but in fact the base is extremely large.

As long as the rural base is unearthed, his explosive potential will be incomparably terrifying.

"Mr. Chen, I'm going to inspect the site tomorrow."

"Why tomorrow, in the afternoon."

"Yes."

Zou Tao is not stupid, Chen Yu just reminded him, and he immediately understood.

If the rural market is developed, why should they fight desperately with other game companies.

As long as the rural market is opened up, there will definitely be countless players in the battle.

With the entry of a large number of players, he is also stimulating players from other game companies on the other hand.

This is the so-called siphon effect.

A game with more players online at the same time is more attractive to other players.

Even if you don’t need to promote or advertise at this time, a lot of players who are playing other games will come to play your game.

"Okay, go ahead. After a month, what I want to see is to break 100 million online at the same time."

After giving Zou Tao an order, Chen Yu left.

Chapter 707: Incoming Small Game

Naturally, it is impossible to continuously deliver cash flow to Universal Technology just by fighting.

Of course, in fact, Huanyu Technology does not only have one campaign, it also has several online games.

However, there are too many places to spend money now, even if he earns a lot of money from online games every day, Chen Yu still feels stretched.

Especially in the chip.

And if you want to build a lithography machine, you will need even more funds.

Chen Yu did some research and found that the investment in lithography machines starts at least 100 billion RMB.

However, it is impossible for Chen Yu to spend all of Huanyu Technology's funds on online games.

He also has a money-making project, Friends Network.

Ok.

In fact, Friends.com is not making money now. After Chen Yu ordered Wang Chang to attach beauty, he was actually in a state of losing money.

But it doesn't matter if you lose money. This side is losing money, but the number of users is constantly growing.

After several rounds of harassment operations, Friends.com has become the second social networking site in the United States after Friends.com snatched the domain name of Facebook and launched a group of college students to counterattack Facebook.

Although it is still not comparable to Facebook for the time being, many capitals have already taken a fancy to Friends.com.

For example, Bain Capital before this.

Because of the agreement with Bain Capital, Universal Technology agreed to Bain Capital's investment.

However, the development of social networks is too fast.

In this kind of communication between people, countless people have taken a fancy to the potential of social networks.

Following Bain Capital, Softbank, Sequoia, Tiger Fund...etc are interested in investing in Friends.com.

For these capitals, Chen Yu did not refuse.

But for the price, Chen Yu has the final say.

"Mr. Chen Yu, how are you thinking?"

"I can consider investing in these companies, but their offers are too low."

As the head of Bain Capital China, one of the first batch of investment friends.com, John, as a representative, came to Chen Yu's office in person to discuss the next investment issues.

Although the technology of the social network is not very good, it is an extremely profitable project.

Friends.com, which currently has 3000 million registrations, has become a favorite of many capitals.

"Mr. Chen Yu, the valuation of 5 million US dollars is already very high. You must know that Facebook is only 10 billion US dollars."

"I don't think we're worse than Facebook."

"However, judging from the number of registrations and active users, there is still a considerable gap between Friends.com and Facebook."

"Then wait until we surpass Facebook."

"Mr. Chen Yu, I think you should think about it as soon as possible. You have to know that by receiving their funds, you can surpass Facebook faster."

"That's true. However, you can come back with an offer in a month's time."
