Currently, although the sales of iPhones, BlackBerrys, and even PHS phones under the Wujiang Group are very good, their combined market share is only about 43.5%.
Competition in the mobile communications field is extremely fierce.
Wujiang Group needs to gain an absolute technological advantage in order to seize more market share.
Zhao Ye reviewed the smartphone development progress again and nodded secretly, quite satisfied.
The following morning, Zhao Ye arrived at the company. Shortly after, Liu Yinyin entered the office and reported: "Chairman Zhao, News Corporation has officially made an acquisition offer to MySpace!"
"Okay, I understand~" Zhao Ye replied nonchalantly, without even looking up, and started writing something on the document with his pen.
Liu Yinyin frowned and reminded him, "Chairman Zhao, News Corporation has abundant financial resources and controls a lot of media resources. If News Corporation acquires MySpace, it will likely have a significant impact on Facebook. Facebook will face a much stronger competitor!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye's lips curled up. He looked up at Liu Yinyin and smiled, "I'm not optimistic about this acquisition. Rupert Murdoch, the owner of News Corporation, is just a traditional businessman, and he's already over seventy years old. He doesn't understand how internet companies operate at all. I predict that after Myspace is acquired by News Corporation, although it may develop rapidly in the short term due to the funds and media resources it gains, it will soon hit a ceiling."
Zhao Ye then picked up the goji berry tea on the table, took a small sip, and found the aroma of the tea refreshing and delightful.
Setting down his teacup, Zhao Ye thought for a moment and then said, "Rupert Murdoch will definitely be eager to monetize MySpace, launching all sorts of ads that will harm the user experience. In that case, the final fate of MySpace is predictable. We'll just quietly... watch him build his empire, watch him entertain his guests, and watch his empire crumble!"
Liu Yinyin was stunned; she hadn't expected Zhao Ye's analysis to be like this.
"Is News Corp. going to destroy MySpace?"
"However, there are countless such examples throughout history."
"Perhaps it's really as Chairman Zhao analyzed..."
Liu Yinyin thought to herself.
She nodded, said nothing more, bid farewell to Zhao Ye, and turned to leave the office.
Zhao Ye continued to review and correct the documents, and it was almost 11 o'clock when he finally finished processing them.
In fact, managing such a large corporation as Wujiang Group is no easy task. Zhao Ye couldn't be a hands-off manager; he was only partially one. The subsidiaries each had their own responsibilities, while CEO Wang Anshi was in charge of group affairs.
Zhao Ye admires the Hong Kong business tycoons who can work whenever they want and play golf or bet on horse races when they don't. However, Zhao Ye isn't interested in golf or gambling; to this day, he still prefers to focus on technical research or product development on his own.
Many of Wujiang Group's world-leading technologies are the work of Zhao Ye.
Clap clap clap clap!
The sound of rapid keyboard clicks filled the office.
Zhao Ye has been working on the web game "Happy Farm" for quite some time now.
I can finish writing the code today.
Zhao Ye checked the time; it was almost noon. He estimated that there wasn't much code left, so he decided to finish writing it all in one go. He didn't plan to go to the cafeteria for lunch, but instead had someone bring him his lunch.
Around 12:30 pm, the initial version of "Happy Farm" was completed.
While running the test game, Zhao Ye opened the lunchbox on the table and began to eat with relish.
Planting vegetables, watering, fertilizing, harvesting, stealing vegetables...
Time seemed to have turned back to a past life, which made Zhao Ye recall the glorious days when he was teaching at the university, when he and his colleagues, students and relatives and friends would steal each other's vegetables.
At this moment, although it was just a game test, Zhao Ye was having a great time.
...
Around 2 PM, Zhao Ye sent "Happy Farm" to Wujiang Games, ordering them to continue testing the game and developing the international version, "Farmville".
In its previous life, Happy Farm was almost a phenomenon, with 400 to 500 million users worldwide. It was not only super popular in China, but also very popular abroad.
It is said that the game's developers are so profitable that they throw parties at the company every week and charter planes to take their employees on frequent trips around the world.
Money talks!
Because making money is so damn easy!
Of course, every game has its lifespan.
Happy Farm was popular for a while, and then it faded away.
However, the popularity of "Happy Farm" ushered in a new era for web games, with the domestic web game market alone reaching a scale of nearly 10 billion RMB.
...
The next morning, after finishing his work, Zhao Ye remembered that he hadn't harvested the vegetables he planted the day before. So he opened the webpage "Happy Farm," logged into his account, and prepared to harvest the vegetables.
However, Zhao Ye quickly became furious.
"Damn it, these robbers actually broke into my farm and almost stole all the vegetables I planted!" Looking at the meager harvest left on the farm, Zhao Ye couldn't help but curse.
"Good heavens, are you guys here in a group to steal my vegetables?" Zhao Ye looked at the group of vegetable thieves and was speechless. There were actually dozens of employees from the game department.
Without saying a word, Zhao Ye retaliated by going to their farm and visiting every part of it.
