Can nine cities get out of the trough? Can you continue the next myth after you've parted with World of Warcraft? Similar problems since the loss of "World of Warcraft" agent rights, has been plagued by nine of cities.

As we all know, 2009 Nine city ended the "World of Warcraft" in mainland China's agent, the revenue plummeted more than 90%, since the nine city's long bumpy road began. Can not say that the nine cities did not work hard, under the leadership of Zhu, nine city also tried several times to "break through", February 2010 nine City investment Hangzhou Fire Rain, focus on the launch of "Datang 2", "Immortal Biography", "Immortal Biography 2" and other series end tour, but because the product operation is not good, not to nine city to bring much profit Instead, the nine cities continue to drag the burden of the loss of the Mire ' 2012-year key project "0 era" drubbing, as the "World of Warcraft," the replacement of the 3D round net Game "King" also announced the outage.

Nine cities have also tried to launch a diversified development strategy, into the end of the tour, the page tour, wireless and even expand overseas markets, but by the industry as a whole development situation, the main business sector end of the market growth slow, restricting the nine city force expansion.

We've invested more than 100 million dollars in these two games over the past three years, and we have great expectations.

Game and football, Zhu Heart of the most important two "children", staggered forward. Although others are not optimistic about this, but Zhu himself is still very optimistic. Perhaps the firm in his heart is beyond the reach of our outsiders. Who knows?
