Chapter 92 The One Who Holds a Grudge

On September 15, Tongcao Technology released news that it had established the "Youxin Game Open Platform". And launched the open source game development engine UUA.

TT is an open platform for mobile games, based on 60 million TT mobile game users, of which more than 40 million are feature phone users.

Youxin also makes a mobile game platform, based on 500 million Youxin users, although about 430 million of them are also feature phone users.

But there are nearly 70 million smartphone users, and the penetration rate of almost all smartphones is full, which is 3.5 times that of TT Technology!

Just looking at the number, it is obvious who to cling to.

Then, game developers saw the UUA game development engine.

The whole game circle is boiling!

To develop games with UUA, you only need to write a set of code to automatically adapt to all platforms!

Peach, Anzhu, feature phones, and even WIN, which still has a low market share, can do it!

It's fucking awesome! Using this method to develop games, the cost can be reduced by at least half!

Look at the toolkit again, damn!

This development efficiency is amazing. The effect that used to take more than ten hours to produce can now be achieved in two hours!

And!

Everyone knows that the performance of feature phones is lagging, and most of the current games cannot run. But with this engine, you can achieve extreme optimization!

Although the parameter range is given, it is not recommended to run on feature phones if it exceeds a certain specification.

But, look carefully at the parameters, ordinary casual games can be played!

Although smartphones are the future, the feature phone market is huge!

This is equivalent to the manufacturers who originally only focused on the development of smartphone games, suddenly there are hundreds of millions of feature phone users to eat!

Hundreds of millions! Oh my god!

So, UUA was just available for download in the open source community, and almost all game manufacturers immediately tested it.

Moreover, after a simple test of UUA's functions and performance, they immediately decided to switch to UUA in the future.

Why are you so confident! There are cases in front of you.

The most popular game that can run on all platforms is made with UUA!

Doesn't this perfectly prove the function and performance of UUA, as well as its ease of use and adaptability!

In fact, Tongtong Ai Xiaochu is not produced by UUA, but by the system, but Cao Shen doesn't intend to save face in order to advertise his new product.

In addition, according to Youxin's special policy, the first batch of games connected by Youxin will give priority to products developed by the UUA engine, considering technical factors.

What is this? This is a huge channel!

For this reason, you must pounce on UUA and don't let go.

And the team that has started to develop with UUA has found that the learning threshold of this engine is extremely low.

As long as you have experience in using any game engine, you can basically get started by reading the instruction document.

So friendly! So humane!

It is indeed produced by Tongcao Technology, it must be a boutique!

And it is free, the conscience of heaven and earth!

For this, why use paid unity and unreal?

Decisively abandon it!

As for the application store of Tongcao Technology, the current traffic scale is already the second largest in China except for the peach application store, and this is just the entrance of Youxin.

It is obvious that it will become the app store with the largest number of users in China in the future!

The 30%-70% split is just like peaches, which is very reasonable.

Moreover, as long as you make a high-quality product, you can also be listed on Youxin! This is overwhelming!

Development tools, huge traffic, payment, Tongcao Technology are all ready for you!

And it is not like TT Technology, which is an open platform, makes its own games, and often borrows good games made by others into its own.

Being a referee and a contestant! Shameless!

Therefore, the choice of the masses is extremely clear.

On that day, almost all mobile game developers of UUA had a set of hands! And established their own accounts in the open source community of UUA.

In this open source community of UUA, it is encouraged to submit opinions, suggestions, development experience sharing and upload new technical resources on the UUA engine.

Every effective submission can get points according to the community popularity and praise.

Points can be used to redeem app store traffic and access opportunities to Youxin game portals.

In addition, in order to continuously improve the functions and performance of UUA, Youxin also encourages professional engine optimization and development teams to submit contributions.

Any optimized or developed functional module officially adopted by Tongcao Technology will receive bonuses, investment or acquisition.

In addition, in addition to game technology resources, there is also an art zone, which encourages talented art talents to open their own "shops" for game developers to choose and purchase.

A series of attractive temptations have aroused the enthusiasm of developers and made the UUA open source technology community the largest game resource library in the future.

Careful people will find that Tongcao Technology is building a game ecosystem!

Through the UUA game engine, the threshold for game technology development is minimized.

Through encouraging policies, more people are allowed to participate in improving the UUA game engine, so that this engine can continue to develop and upgrade and remain invincible.

The entire game production division of labor is also divided into finer parts, and even art resources can be found here.

And Tongcao Technology also provides backend hosting services.

It can be said that as long as you have a little foundation, you can build a game in the UUA open source community!

This method is more about planning and creativity!

This can attract more creative talents to join in and make various innovative games.

There are also channels and payments in the future. In other words, you only need to focus on game planning, and don’t worry about anything else. You can rely on the game ecology of Tongcao Technology to turn yourself into a great game company!

This perfect ecological service has made the entire game industry in Dongguo extremely prosperous, and companies of all sizes have flourished.

There are even many individual developers who can make a popular small game by one person relying on creativity.

The reason why it is a small game is that the planning and numerical system of large games are still very complex and require teamwork.

The entire game industry was blown up by Mr. Cao, but Cao Shen obviously still has a trick up his sleeve.

The open source UUA game engine, even if competitors copy it, it’s no problem.

First, the entire framework of UUA is different from unity and unreal. If they want to copy the functions of UUA, they must abandon their existing engine framework and switch to the UUA camp.

This is very difficult for them, after all, their foundation is their own framework. If they change, wouldn't it be working for UUA in disguise?

Moreover, UUA is open source. If you build it based on UUA's core framework, it means that the engine you make in the future must also follow UUA's open source agreement and be free. This is definitely not possible.

Second, UUA also has a small number of development tools that are not limited to the use of UUA's framework. This allows Unity and Unreal to learn from it and even optimize it to be better.

This is the loophole that Cao Shen deliberately left, so that UUA can also learn from it in reverse and improve its own capabilities.

Borrowing power, after all, Unity and Unreal, as old engine developers, still have a lot of experience and excellent talents.

On the other hand, the adaptation tools made by the system are not among the open source, and can be used by game developers for free, but the code is not open source. Because this function, at least for now, is an extremely important core competitiveness.

In the future, adapting to multiple platforms, other game engine developers can also do it as long as they spend time and energy.

However, Cao Shen still needs this function to occupy a wider market at present.

Tongcao Technology's re-attack has sunk TT Technology's last straw.

Although TT Technology emphasizes its eldest son, the whole world is moving towards mobile Internet.

No matter how strong the eldest son is, he can only keep his job, but it is the sunset.

What to invest in?

Not to protect the principal, but to find new growth points! It is the story of the future! It is the expectation!

Obviously, in the eyes of capital, TT Technology will be tasteless in the future and it is not a pity to abandon it.

And Youxin is the target that is worth investing in, but it is worth it to invest in!

On September 15, the market value of TT Technology fell again and fell below 7 billion US dollars at the close.

At this time, TT Technology still had 6 billion US dollars in cash on its books! If it falls further, the market value will break the net cash on the books.

This kind of thing has also happened in the original world, and Perfect World and Sohu, which used to make games, have encountered it.

It shows that investors are extremely pessimistic about your future. Even if there is a lot of cash, investors think that this cash will be squandered sooner or later.

The market is unanimous in its pessimistic sentiment towards TT Technology.

But Mr. Cao doesn't think so.

At least, he thinks that if TT Technology is in his hands, he can still find a chance to turn things around.

Especially the live broadcast of Zhao Xueling and Zhen Chong's wedding reminded him of this.

Moreover, TT Technology has also turned things around after a narrow escape. This shows that Zhang Da is still capable, but he has been thrown off balance by his combination of punches over the past six months.

So, how can we completely crush the threat?

Cao Shen is a very petty person and holds grudges very much.

At the beginning, TT Technology sent him a lawyer's letter, which led to him being fined by the system after a series of operations in order to save himself, deducting 483 days of life value and 16.17 million yuan!

This grudge will not be over unless it is killed!

But this matter is difficult,

First, TT users on the PC side.

TT and Youxin, like QQ and WeChat, have different user usage scenarios. The friends on WeChat of users are not exactly the same as the friends on QQ.

Therefore, Youxin cannot completely replace TT.

Moreover, TT is like QQ, a social software for semi-acquaintances. If Cao Shen wants to make another similar product to replace TT, it will be too difficult.

The social relationships of users are on TT, and it is difficult to move them all over with a new product.

The most fundamental thing for making social products for acquaintances or semi-acquaintances is not to acquire users, but to acquire users' social relationships.

This is probably like divorce. You are not solving the problem of one or even two people, but a lot of social relationships.

If you really want to completely replace TT, you have to start with babies, so that the new generation of users will first contact Cao Shen's new products instead of TT.

This, Cao Shen can do, but the preparation period is really long.

Second, TT Technology's games.

To be honest, TT Technology's level of PC games is still good. The key lies in having a mature R&D system and a large number of talents.

Currently, mobile games are relatively simple games due to the performance of mobile phones, which gave Cao Shen the opportunity to get involved.

But PC performance is already very good and can support highly complex games. With Cao Shen's current ability, it is indeed not enough.

Maybe you can spend money to dig up good talents, and then make a big hit game when the opportunities are right in all aspects.

However, this is not a truly cost-effective way to play.

Especially in China, the game industry is a fast food culture. Such a model cannot guarantee that the next game will continue to be a hit, and it is easy to kill yourself.

Only by industrializing game production can the input-output ratio be guaranteed.

Although it may be difficult to produce a good game with amazing creativity, it can ensure stable income. It is also a development strategy suitable for large domestic game companies.

This requires your entire game team to have a corresponding development system and personnel management method. At the same time, a lot of experience accumulation is required.

Although Cao Shen also wants to make a good game, he does not have the conditions now. He can only take the path of industrialization, and TT Technology's game industrialization capabilities are indeed very mature.

Moreover, TT Technology has previously acquired several well-known competitive games abroad.

In the future, Cao Shen wants to develop game live broadcast and e-sports, which cannot be avoided by TT's competitive games and the user base it has laid.

Third, cash on the books. TT Technology now has 6 billion US dollars in net cash on the books. Such a large amount of money can actually do a lot of things and generate a lot of possibilities.

Although capital is no longer optimistic about TT Technology's ability, because in the eyes of capital, cash is not attractive, but the ability to continuously earn growing net cash is attractive.

But Cao Shen feels that the mobile Internet is in the early stage of explosion, and even if he uses this cash to invest and layout, he can fly like a pig in the wind.

While thinking about it, Xiao Gang called and got straight to the point:

"Xiao Cao, do you want to go public?" Boss Xiao's tone was very relaxed, as if he was not talking about going public, but ordering takeout.

Cao Shen was stunned for a moment, going public?

Tongcao Technology, let alone other things, is that it has been established for such a short time and does not meet the listing conditions.

But from another perspective, Cao Shen wants to go public.

After going public, the company will have a public pricing and can do a lot of leveraged capital operations.

Now, if you spend one dollar as one dollar, you will be able to spend at least one dollar as five dollars after listing.

Of course, there are even more, such as that person, who can spend one dollar as one hundred dollars.

So Cao Shen said: "Of course I have thought about it, but Tongcao Technology does not meet the conditions now."

Xiao Gang laughed on the phone:

"There is nothing that cannot be done, only what you don't want. Just buy a shell."

Buying a shell to go public is one way.

Buy a shell company that has already been listed, and then inject Tongcao Technology's assets into it.

But the problem is that buying a shell is not cheap now.

Although the cost of the cheapest shell is between 60 and 70 million, this is the cost.

Before, when you obtained control of a listed company, you had to spend a large amount of money to acquire the shares, which was much more than 60 or 70 million.

Because Tongcao Technology has no assets to mortgage to the bank and no fair market valuation, it will be very troublesome to borrow money from the bank, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get a large loan with the traditional and conservative style of the bank.

Moreover, Cao Shen’s Tongcao Technology has not been reorganized enough to be seen by the public, and financing has not even been put on the agenda, let alone listing.
