Chapter 2467 Westward Journey

Lao Zhang is much more low-key now.

Unlike a few years ago, when he was the "first person" in the Internet industry, he was really high-spirited and organized parties at every turn, eating together, going out together, or singing in KTV together.

He also organized bureaus to mediate many conflicts among people in the industry.

He is known as a good old man.

Not so much now.

Not so high-gloss.

I just occasionally organize a few close friends to get together and sing.

That night, Zhou Buqi took Zhang Zetian to the appointment.

Ordinary girls really can't handle this kind of situation.

Of course Senior Sisters Shi Jinglin, Bao Shan, and Zhen Yu could handle it well, but when they arrived, they all went to the Northeast and were not in the capital. Secondly, they didn't like this kind of social interaction, and Zhou Buqi was reluctant to take them there.

Zhang Zetian is a good choice.

She was also very happy and seemed to enjoy following the big boss to get to know more big figures in the industry.

There were seven people in the KTV box, three men and four women.

The three men are Zhang Chaoyang, Zhou Buqi, and Ding Lei, the big boss of NetEase.

As for the four girls...

Of course, Boss Ding would not bring his lover here, but he would be accompanied by a female assistant beside him.

Lao Zhang...

This guy brought two female companions.

When he was introduced, he just said that they were his good friends and they were two professional singers who came here to sing to enhance the atmosphere.

Zhou Buqi is a little angry.

Depend on!

It’s so unreliable!

Zhang Zetian is not an ordinary female secretary, she is the famous milk tea girl and an Internet celebrity. If word gets out that she has an affair with Boss Zhou, what's the point?

Well……

This really can’t stop Yunyun netizens.

Rumors have circulated on Weibo that Sister Milk Tea is currently interning at Ziweixing.

Many netizens who are kind, optimistic, positive and full of positive energy think that she got an administrative, personnel, secretarial and other jobs.

It's a very normal internship position.

After all, there are hundreds of college students who intern at Ziweixing every year, and it is not surprising that Zhang Zetian is among them.

But some netizens have evil intentions and like to think wildly.

There are rumors that the milk tea girl is being kept by Zhou Buqi, the richest man in the world. The innocent beauty that thousands of otakus fantasize about has long become a forbidden love for rich people.

Regarding this kind of irresponsible rumor, the Weibo team once asked Zhou Buqi whether to ban it.

After all, Zhou Buqi has received a formal higher education, and it is impossible to just write off any criticism. He feels that netizens should be given a certain degree of freedom of discussion, and those who are clean will be able to clean themselves up.

He is confident enough in his public image and personality that even a few rumors cannot shake his positive image.

But now Lao Zhang has brought two female singers from the entertainment industry.

Doesn’t this make the rumor true?

There was no other way, Zhou Buqi could only warn Lao Zhang, saying that he should take good care of the two female friends and ask them not to take random photos, let alone spread rumors on Weibo.

Lao Zhang invited Boss Ding from NetEase this time.

In addition to singing to relax, business discussions may revolve around the game business.

Sure enough, as soon as he drank a glass of beer, Lao Ding came up to him and said, "How is it going overseas for "Westward Journey"?"

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "Aren't you just holding on to it, worried that it will be stolen if it is authorized to go to overseas markets?"

Licensing games to foreign agencies actually carries certain risks.

Once the agency gets all the game codes and data, it is possible to develop a highly similar game or even directly develop a private server.

Shanda is so successful thanks to "Legend".

NetEase has been restricting the development of overseas business in the past few years. In fact, it is worried about raising a foreign "Shanda" that relies on NetEase's blood.

Boss Ding said with a smile: "I'm worried, I've always been worried. However, we have to divide the people. Some people are worried, and some people don't need to worry."

"Oh?" Zhou Buqi asked knowingly, "Who is it?"

Boss Ding pointed at him and said, "You!"

Zhou Buqi laughed, "Changyou and NetEase are still competitors in China. Do you really dare to license "Westward Journey" to Changyou to develop overseas markets?"

"If it were him, I wouldn't be too worried." Boss Ding glanced at Lao Zhang, "But now Changyou is in charge."

Zhou Buqi said loudly: "Old Zhang, this man is talking bad about you!"

Zhang Chaoyang was singing over there, singing "Prague Square" with Ding Lei's female assistant diligently, and they were singing a love song duet between you and me. He waved his hand back indifferently, "Scold me back!"

Zhou Buqi looked at Ding Lei helplessly.

Boss Ding said with a smile: "I asked him before, and he said that he can't make the decision and has to listen to you. Changyou is so successful, so it's not like they are still copying games like "Westward Journey"."

Zhou Buqi snorted, "You're here to challenge the general."

Ding Lei said seriously: "I think you are a person who does great things, and you will not lose big things because of small things."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, of course he would not plagiarize "Westward Journey".

This game is excellent and can be called the most successful domestic self-developed online game. But even so, he would not do anything to destroy the sign.

If Changyou gets all the code and related data of "Westward Journey" and then plagiarizes it and makes a similar game, it will be difficult for Changyou to develop its overseas business in the future.

At least domestic game companies will be very vigilant when cooperating with Changyou. I would rather authorize overseas operations to foreign companies than go to Changyou.

Especially with Zhou Buqi's current status, fame and influence in the domestic Internet industry, he really couldn't bear to do something that went back on his word.

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "Do you really want to make "Westward Journey" overseas?"

Boss Ding nodded, "We must do it. "Westward Journey" will be the beginning. If it is completed, more games will be released overseas in the future. As you said, it is glorious to make money from foreigners."

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "Did you remember it wrong? I never said that."

Boss Ding did not accept the challenge and said slowly: ""Westward Journey" can be tried to be promoted in the Southeast Asian, Korean and Japanese markets, and NetEase can cooperate with Changyou to operate it together."

"NetEase?" Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "NetEase doesn't have much territory overseas, so how do you operate it? By pumping blood and shouting slogans?"

Boss Ding said angrily: "Can I give you money?"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. If you think it's okay, then fine. How to cooperate is up to you, I don't really understand."

If the overseas business of "Westward Journey" is fully handled by Changyou, and NetEase only produces the intellectual property rights, then when the overseas revenue is divided, Changyou must get at least 50%, which is the minimum line.

If NetEase invests money and cooperates with Changyou to operate the overseas market of "Westward Journey", then Changyou's share of revenue can be reduced.

In fact, it is an inverse relationship between risk and income.

The greater the risk, the higher the income; NetEase and Changyou will bear the risk of overseas promotion failure together. If it succeeds in the future, Changyou's income will also be reduced.

Zhou Buqi really doesn't know much about the specific operations of the game business. He has never been involved in it, so he won't tell Boss Ding more to avoid being deceived by him.

At this time, a female singer brought by Lao Zhang came over and wanted to invite Boss Zhou to sing a song together.
