Tencent's own games aren't very good, except for one thing that's top-notch: their monetization techniques.
Absolutely top-tier; once you get hooked, you'll find it impossible to resist spending money.
(When I was in elementary school, I spent 2,000 yuan on QQ Three Kingdoms...)
However, Tencent's influence and connections in the gaming industry far outweigh their game development capabilities.
Whether it's Tencent collaborating with Nintendo to release the Nintendo Switch in China, or Tencent partnering with Sony in various fields...
Tencent even invested in Ubisoft as early as 2017, acquiring a 5% stake in Ubisoft at a high price that year.
Tencent's influence in the gaming industry is unmatched by any other company, Kechuang Bio.
After designating brain-computer interface (BCI) VR as its most important strategic plan in recent years, and especially after seeing BCI VR prototypes, Tencent's top management became even more convinced of this.
Tencent is not only developing its own brain-computer interface VR games, but also contacting major game developers in hopes of porting their games to VR.
Two years ago, The Legend of Zelda released a concept video showcasing a VR mod with both first-person and second-person VR perspectives.
After experiencing brain-computer interface (BCI) VR, Nintendo representatives quickly decided to delay the release again and rework their nearly completed VR version of The Legend of Zelda to make it compatible with BCI VR.
Li Wanqing said excitedly, "That's wonderful! I'm sure everyone will work even harder this afternoon to optimize the brain-computer interface VR for even better results."
Optimization work can be done continuously before release. And it can continue even after release.
Hardware devices can't just have one generation; they're updated every year.
Even with few buyers, Sony's Xperia series can still be updated every year.
Electronic devices are slow to update and lack presence, just like online articles.
Zheng Li recalled that when she chatted with Li Miaomiao a couple of days ago, Li Miaomiao mentioned that Tencent had invited her to participate in an internal evaluation.
“Mark from Tencent, who is the president of their Interactive Entertainment Business Group—well, I bet you don’t know what a business group is, it’s the biggest boss in their gaming division. Yesterday he asked me if I wanted to see their internal performance reviews,” Li Miaomiao said.
Zheng Li: "Go if you're interested."
Ren Yu met with Li Miaomiao many times when he was negotiating with Kechuang Bio about brain-computer interface VR cooperation.
Li Miaomiao's youth and her ability to get straight to the heart of the matter during negotiations left a deep impression on him.
Because of Li Miaomiao's youth, Ren Yu guessed that she might be interested in the game.
It just so happens that Tencent is holding a brain-computer interface VR game competition, and Tencent always organizes very interesting events like this.
Therefore, Ren Yu took the opportunity to ask Li Miaomiao if she was interested in participating, which was also a way of building his network of relationships.
As a giant in China with profits second only to Tencent, Kechuang Bio has an even stronger monopoly position in its industry than Tencent.
As the vice president of Kechuang Biotechnology, Li Miaomiao naturally knew the benefits of building a good relationship with Ren Yu, who had worked with her for many years.
Sometimes, the information contained in a casual remark can be very enlightening.
Li Miaomiao liked playing King of Glory in high school. She thought she could play it as much as she wanted in college, which would be better than playing it for an hour a week in high school.
Unexpectedly, she started working before even finishing her first year of college, and the workload was even heavier than she had imagined.
I don't even have time to watch KPL, let alone play King of Glory.
“I’m planning to go take a look. I’m going to Pengcheng next week, and there’s a meeting I need to attend there. I’ll just go while I’m there,” Li Miaomiao replied.
"In addition, we haven't found a suitable candidate for the chief engineer of the brain-computer interface chip yet. There is a very suitable candidate in Pengcheng, but he is unwilling to come to Suzhou. I took this opportunity to meet him."
Suzhou has a very strong semiconductor industry; it can be said to be the strongest semiconductor industry city in China, second only to Shanghai.
Therefore, Kechuang Bio's brain-computer interface chip production base was located in Suzhou, where both production line equipment and workers can meet its needs.
The problem is that chief engineers are hard to find, especially since Kechuang Bio plans to develop in the direction of AI chips in the future, and it is difficult to poach talents of this level.
With the name of Kechuang Biotechnology, many people would definitely be willing to come, but high-end positions are like this: companies that are willing to come don't want them, and companies want people who are unwilling to come.
Because changing jobs means starting all over again, especially if it involves moving to a different city, and even your social circle has to be rebuilt.
Zheng Li: "By the way, you can check if Tencent's VR game plan includes any games with this art style. I'll send you the pictures."
"Hold on."
The picture shows a very strange tree. The tree looks like a human figure trying to embrace the air, and flowers can be seen faintly on its branches.
The flowers also looked strange.
After reading it, Li Miaomiao said speechlessly, "Did you draw this yourself or find it online?"
"I feel a bit chilly."
"This style is basically impossible to incorporate into a game, unless it's a dark-themed game."
"The problem is that dark-themed games are not Tencent's style."
Zheng Li: "Have you ever heard of Cthulhu?"
Actually, this was a magical plant that Zheng Li had when he was in the Mage Alliance.
Most magical plants have undergone genetic modification, but a few have been passed down from ancient times.
As for whether it had been modified by ancient magicians, Zheng Li was unsure, but probably not, because such random modifications might actually affect the effect.
