Chapter 882: Own Crops

AOL invested again.

An investment of US$100 million can be considered a very large investment nowadays.

Especially, it is foreign investment.

In today's era, it is not believed that foreign capital wants to control domestic enterprises as it was in later generations. These days, whoever can attract foreign investment has the ability.

For example, "Xinlang" was able to obtain a US$100 million investment from AOL, and was almost like a national hero under media reports.

After all, in today's society, there is a strong tendency to worship foreign things.

For foreigners, what everyone thinks of are villas, sports cars, beaches, handsome men and beautiful women, and foreigners are particularly qualified.

Nowadays, most Chinese people don’t know that there are more than 200 countries with foreigners. Among them, only a few are truly qualified, and most foreigners are extremely unqualified.

But no matter what, there is a lot of praise in the society now, and Xinlang also uses this praise to promote his icq and games.

Of course, it's not profitable. AOL also doesn't expect it to make money. The only purpose is to seize the market.

Now, after America Online acquired icq, it originally didn't know how to make money, but Qin Feng opened a way for it to know that online games can be monetized.

Therefore, AOL launched the English version of "Happy Farm". Although the madness of foreign players and the speed of krypton gold cannot be compared with that in China, it is still profitable.

From this point of view, AOL saw an opportunity to make money from online games.

So, they chose to invest more. Let Xinlang gain a firm foothold and seize the domestic market.

Therefore, 100 million US dollars was directly poured over, the whole process was free, and a large gift package was given out, just to seize the market.

"The number of people registered has exceeded 500,000, and the number of people online has exceeded 100,000!" Jiang Yong said anxiously.

With heavy subsidies from America Online, its popularity suddenly increased.

After all, everything is free, and there are all kinds of great gift packages available. For some players, it is still very attractive.

Especially at this stage,

There is no social media software that unifies social media, and everyone is still very attracted to the Internet, and online communication has not yet taken root in the hearts of the people.

In this case, it is still very possible that Xinlang Wang Zhidong wants to poach people.

"So cruel!" Qin Feng was stunned.

America Online is rich, Qin Feng admitted. But it shouldn’t be such a heavy subsidy.

Do you value the Chinese market so much?

Qin Feng was a little puzzled. After all, nothing like this happened in history. In the past two years, AOL has been very successful. Spread money around the world and make acquisitions everywhere. Then, there is no more.

Of course, Qin Feng himself is still to blame.

If Qin Feng had not introduced cable modem technology from the United States, especially if Qin Feng had introduced it at lightning speed, there would not have been the rise of China's network market, let alone the attention of American capital.

All this is due to Qin Feng's early introduction of cable modems.

Originally, the United States was not so open to this technology. Especially for China, there are restrictions.

However, the U.S. Department of Commerce did not pay attention to this technology, or did not think that China would want to introduce it. In addition, Time Warner was also in the expansion stage, so when Qin Feng was willing to pay a high price, he agreed.

When the deal was done, the U.S. Department of Commerce said nothing more.

After all, Time Warner has made money, and a lot of it, and taking advantage of the opportunity, American companies can invade the Chinese market, which is also an opportunity.

Therefore, Qin Feng ushered in a powerful opponent like Xinlang. In the final analysis, it was all about cause and effect.

"It doesn't matter!" Qin Feng was very calm, "I have been developing a game before. The development has been completed. Originally, I expected to delay it for a while. Since the other party wants to seize the market, let's advance it."

Later, Qin Feng passed the version of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" to Jiang Yong.

"What is "Plants vs. Zombies"?" Jiang Yong was curious.

"A tower defense game. Well, the enemy attacks and you defend. However, all the defensive weapons are plants you plant to resist zombie attacks." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Qin Feng slightly modified the stand-alone version of "Plants vs. Zombies", mainly to make the plants in it equal to the plants grown by players.

In the stand-alone version of "Plants vs. Zombies", players need to collect sunlight and buy various plants to defend against zombies. But this online version is different. It uses plants grown in the farmland of all players to resist zombies.

In this way, "QQ Farm" can be regarded as having continued vitality, and its stickiness to players is also higher.

"Okay, I'll load it in." Jiang Yong said excitedly.

Later, Qin Feng called Wang Leilei.

"Wang Leilei, the stand-alone version of "Plants vs. Zombies" is about to be launched. Seize the market!" Qin Feng said.

"Oh!" Wang Leilei nodded.

"By the way, the Internet in Europe and the United States is relatively developed now. In this way, you can create an online game website so that players can shop online and download games online!" Qin Feng said.

"Online? No CDs released?" Wang Leilei was surprised.

"Well, we won't release CDs. That would be too expensive. Moreover, it would involve logistics and so on. It would be too troublesome. Just sell it online. Then, after you finish it, I will arrange it, and then spend some money on it at the New York Times Advertise in the square!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Qin Feng, so awesome!" Wang Leilei said excitedly, "Advertising in Times Square, New York!"

"Yeah, it's Times Square in New York!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "Advertising there would be enough to cause a stir!"

"Okay! Tonight, I will get the website out, and then bundle the game on it." Wang Leilei said with a smile, "However, the Ocean Optical Cable has not fully communicated yet. If the other party downloads, the speed will be slower!"

"It's okay. After you design it, send me the source code of the website, and then I will have someone copy it in the United States and build the website in the United States!" Qin Feng said.

"Okay!" Wang Leilei hung up the phone.

After thinking about it, Qin Feng called Lisa.

"Qin, if you hadn't called, I would have thought my boyfriend was missing!" Lisa complained.

Qin Feng was embarrassed.

"Well, aren't you really busy? There's an Internet war!" Qin Feng quickly apologized.

"I've been very busy recently." Lisa sighed. "The company has a lot of things to do, and my studies are also very heavy. By the way, why don't you ask me for anything!"

"I want to set up a website in the United States and sell some things. I hope you can help me. I really don't have time to go there recently," Qin Feng said.

"The United States? That way the tax is very heavy. How about this? I'll help you create it in the Cayman Islands and then sell it in the United States!" Lisa said, "That way the tax is lower!"
