Chapter 321: The Father of Rogue Software

Ma Huateng let go, but Zeng Liqing immediately approached SoftBank.

There are not too many surprises. Softbank has invested in the domestic Internet for many years and is very optimistic about the domestic Internet.

Although they also know that Penguin has a stronger competitor, Penguin still has more than 2 million simultaneous online users, and the active number is even more, reaching more than 10 million. This base is very large, although there are still some risks in investment, but since it is a venture investment, what should they do with an investment without risk?

$50 million.

This is the investment amount given by SoftBank.

The shareholding is 30%.

This share is not particularly large, but Penguin gave up 30% after three rounds of financing. Ma Huateng’s founder team only had less than 20% of the shares, and Ma Huateng only had 9% of the shares. However, despite this, the founder team of Ma Huateng won a condition during the negotiation.

If it goes public in the future, Penguin has the priority to repurchase SoftBank shares.

For this power, SoftBank recognized.

SoftBank is just a venture capital firm, and they don't want to be a lifetime shareholder.

They just want to make money.

Typically, venture capital firms sell shares after a company goes public.

Because most of the time the company goes public, the venture capital company has already obtained a large amount of income and usually sells it.

Unless the company still has super long growth, they will continue to hold the stock in their hands.

Just as SoftBank has always held Alibaba's stock in its previous life, although Alibaba is listed, SoftBank still holds a considerable portion of Alibaba's stock.

"50 million US dollars, 400 million yuan."

Looking at the 400 million yuan that has already arrived, Ma Huateng planned in his heart.

"It's not a lot of money, but for the time being it can deal with the current crisis."

The founder meeting was held again, and Ma Huateng said to the crowd, "How will this money be spent?"

Zeng Liqing hesitated.

He would like to talk about the game and make a blog.

Online games are still the most profitable Internet projects, and their "Triumph" has tasted a little sweetness. If it wasn't for Huanyu Technology's mischief later, they probably got along very well. But Zeng Liqing did not dare to say any more. He was the one who proposed to get into gaming at the time, but he was the one who screwed it up.

Although Zeng Liqing cannot be completely blamed for this, the fact that Huanyu Technology was defeated at once also shows the problem.

"Let's focus our funding on our old business."

Zhang Zhidong said.

He knew what Zeng Liqing wanted to say, but he knew even more why Kaixuan failed in the first place.

On the bright side, of course, it is the competition of Universal Penguin, but the underlying reason is that they lack experience in online games.

They only have some advantages in the instant messaging area.

This is also why Huanyu Technology has been constantly competing with them, but their QQ has not fallen yet.

In addition to the original users of QQ, they also have a certain understanding of instant messaging.

"I agree with Zhidong's opinion."

Chen Yizhou agreed.

"I agree too."

Xu Chenye also made a statement.

"I agree with Zhidong's proposal."

The four of them have expressed their opinions, and it is even more impossible for Zeng Liqing to say any more.

"What are you watching me doing, will I still harm the company? I also agree with Zhidong."

Zeng Liqing finally said.

"Liqing, we have no other intentions. We all want to do this game, but we really don't have much experience."

Ma Huateng was afraid that Zeng Liqing would be sullen, and explained.

"They are all good brothers, don't I know, let's find a chance to enter in the future."

Although there are conflicts between the five people in the company's operation, the five people have a good relationship.

Otherwise, it is impossible to start a business together.

With that said, the five of them all looked at each other and smiled.

"If that's the case, then we'll do our best."

Ma Huateng high fives with everyone.

"Go all out."

The crowd said in unison.

In any case, Penguin is now much better than when the company was founded.

What if it fails.

What's more, they haven't completely failed.

...

After the launch of the YY game "One Stop to the End", the YY game platform became popular again.

Countless netizens have experienced the fun of this game.

This is not just a game, but also to increase knowledge.

Not only netizens like it, but also some parents and students.

Some teachers even recommend to parents that if you want your child to increase their knowledge, let him play "One Stop to the End".

With such a game, Huanyu Technology contacted several TV stations, and all TV stations expressed their interest.

In the end, Universal Technology signed a cooperation agreement with Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV to launch a new variety show "One Stop to the End".

Of course, the reason why they are interested in Universal Technology's show is not only because of the explosiveness of this show, but also because of Universal Technology's influence in the entertainment industry.

Others don't know, but they are very clear about these TV stations... Not long ago, a star-to-face show on Shencheng TV was stopped because of a word from the CEO of Universal Technology.

Of course, Shencheng TV wanted to continue broadcasting, but it couldn't find singers.

What kind of show is a fan club without a singer?

At that time, Shencheng TV station had some persecution, and I don't know how to offend anyone.

It took a lot of effort for several deputy directors to dig up some information from major record companies.

It's just that Shencheng TV is a little bored. When did Huanyu Technology reach out to the entertainment circle?

Aren't they an Internet company, but why do major record companies please Huanyu Technology so much?

For this, major TV stations do not understand, in fact, major record companies also have some confusion.

They don't know why, the whole music scene seems to have changed a day.

Under the entry of Huanyu Technology, another brand new gameplay has begun.

However, although these things are progressing smoothly, Wang Chang is in trouble.

Maopu was successfully acquired.

But hao123 of the personal website is really in trouble.

This is not because Li Xingping of hao123 does not sell.

At first, Li Xingping didn't want to sell it, he just wanted to take hao123 for retirement.

This website does not require any technology, and it is easy to maintain, but the best thing is that the annual advertising fee is one or two million.

For individual webmasters, what could be more comfortable than a website like this?

However, after Wang Chang clarified the interests of hao123, Li Xingping finally agreed to the sale.

After all, although hao123 currently has a large amount of traffic, it has no technology.

Li Xingping is just working on a website alone, with limited technology, limited vision, and even more limited strength.

In the future, if other companies want to engage in websites such as website navigation, hao123 is definitely not an opponent.

If hao123 does not sell, Huanyu Technology will definitely make a website navigation that is exactly the same as that of hao123. Not only Huanyu Technology will do it, but Baidu will also do it. Even...other businesses will follow suit.

But Li Xingping agreed, but Baidu seemed to sense a crisis.

He even contacted Li Xingping at the same time.

At a high price of 50 million, plus part of Baidu's equity, it took the lead in Huanyu Technology and finally acquired hao123.

"Mr. Chen, it's my fault, I didn't complete the task."

Wang Chang blamed himself for not acquiring hao123.

"It's not all your fault."

Chen Yu didn't expect Baidu to kill him halfway.

It seems that Baidu has found out that it is preparing to engage in search business.

This is also normal.

Even Xu Yong can guess, how could Li Yanhong, who is more shrewd than Xu Yong, not know.

It seems that this search engine battle is not easy.

Chen Yu secretly sighed.

"We also underestimated Li Xingping."

Although Li Xingping could not deal with Huanyu Technology or Baidu, but Li Xingping knew the importance of his website navigation. No, as soon as Baidu, a competitor, was pulled over, the quotation increased from Huanyu Technology's original 30 million to 50 million in minutes, and even part of Baidu's equity.

I have to say that Baidu paid a lot to get hao123.

If Chen Yu goes up, he has to think about it.

50 million Chen Yu can afford it, but it is impossible for Chen Yu to pay a cent of the shares of Universal Technology.

"Mr. Chen, what should we do now? Let's make a website and navigate it out?"

Zhang Jianming suggested.

"We should do what we should do, but we have to spend some means on promotion."

Web site navigation is not very technical, any web programmer can do it.

The key to URL navigation is not technology, but its traffic.

Everyone is accustomed to their hao123. Even if you make one now, everyone may not use your website to navigate. Of course, if it is promoted slowly, it is not unsuccessful. In addition to hao123 in the previous life, there were other successful website navigation, such as 360 website navigation, etc., but it took too much time.

"what……"

When it came to 360, Chen Yu had a flash of inspiration and came up with an excellent idea.

"Brother Jian, contact President Zhou of 3721."

Mr. Zhou of 3721 is none other than the famous Zhou Hongyi, who is also the boss of 360 in the previous life.

He is also the father of the famous rogue software in the arena.

At this time, relying on a series of rogue operations, his 3721 occupied more than 90% of the domestic market at once.

Of course, 3721 is obviously not called rogue software, his business is to provide Chinese Internet access services.

For example, if you want to go to Sina.com, if you don't use 3721, you can only enter Sina's website.

Although this also seems simple enough to just type in a few letters.

But it is more convenient for Chinese people to type.

Wouldn't it be better if you typed in three words from Sina.com, or two words in Sina directly?

Relying on this kind of business, 3721 has won the favor of certain users.

If 3721 is just this, it is impossible to become rogue software.

The key is that 3721 will hijack your IE browser.

For example, he can prevent the page from popping up advertisements, he can also modify the browser homepage, and at the same time, he can also pop up advertisements.

Of course, it doesn't really matter at this point.

If you feel that this software is not easy to use, uninstall it, it doesn't matter if you don't need it.

But the place where he is rogue is that you can't uninstall it even if you want to uninstall it.

Even if you uninstall it, sorry, 3721 will trigger another program to complete self-repair.

Let alone a computer novice, even professional players would be extremely mad when faced with such rogue software.
