Chapter 1488 The Catfish Turns Into a Shark

Xuri Technology is in a meeting, and other Internet companies are also in meetings.

In front of them is the example set by the richest man Chen, and behind them is the satellite launched by Baidu last year, which is still shining in the sky. This year, Jiucheng has been fully fueled, and it is about to take off directly with the help of the Weibo project.

Seeing this, other Internet peers are very excited. What Xuri Technology, what Alibaba, what Shengda. I want to go international and go public in the United States.

When I successfully go public, I will come back in style. All of you so-called big guys trapped in China are my younger brothers. Do you know that the king is back?

I am only a small step away from this goal.

So after the beginning of the year, all the bosses and employees of domestic Internet companies are like chicken blood. It seems that as long as they work hard, they will be the richest man in the future and the employees of the future Internet giants!

And when everyone is over the chicken soup and starts to work hard.

What Xuri Technology is worried about finally happened.

On February 14, the Lantern Festival just after the lunar calendar, there is the moment of Western Valentine's Day. It seems that Jiucheng is not satisfied with the Weibo bomb that it dropped at the beginning of the year, saying that it would cooperate with the groom and Samsung.

On the same day, at a press conference, Jiucheng, who was not satisfied with the bomb, dropped another bomb with four 2s.

Jiucheng, a rising star, directly kicked out Chen, the richest man who had been rumored before, and bought CC, which has 60 million users in China and more than 1.2 million daily active users, at a high price of 2.43 billion.

In theory, everyone can see the brilliant future of instant messaging software, not to mention that Xuri Technology YY has developed many profit models.

If CC with 60 million users is really to be sold, it must be more than this price, after all, it was previously known as a 10 billion enterprise.

Now in the environment where the Internet industry is hot all over the world, for example, 2.43 billion yuan, even US dollars is not out of the question.

Apart from other things, with so many users, just find some media to blow it up, and it will definitely be a big harvest of leeks in the stock market.

Unfortunately, CC is not up to the mark. The foreign financing that wanted to expand international business to avoid YY's blockade in China was too unpopular.

At the same time, the conditions for expelling CC from the international market were harsh.

Now its reputation in China has been ruined. Among the 60 million registered users, only 1.2 million daily active users can be seen. It can be seen that CC is really dead in China.

After all, this is a chat software, not a game. You can't log in to a game without playing it.

But you can log in to a chat software account and upgrade it. Since the chat software level system came out, many netizens have done nothing but log in these accounts in order to upgrade to the stars and the moon.

Therefore, there are only so many users who log in and hang around. This is not just a bit of a loss.

In addition, international capital has set up obstacles for CC to go international, and coerced and induced CC to take away nearly 90% of its controlling rights.

Now, looking back, CC's domestic business can still be worth so much money, and they also want to get a piece of the pie.

As a result, the management of CC made a prompt decision and did not bother with Jiucheng. They just cut the Gordian knot and sold all these businesses to Jiucheng.

Jiucheng also took the opportunity to poach a large number of employees.

Now the priorities have shifted. Although international capital still has an absolute advantage, CC, which is half-crippled, is not easy to deal with.

Anyway, a large sum of money has been pocketed. If you want to talk, we will continue to talk, but the conditions must be changed. If you don’t want to talk, forget it. The old subsidiaries have been sold and the money for the rest of your life has been made. Just retire and enjoy life.

Compared with CC’s direct abandonment of this matter, MM seems to be more strategic.

Or it can be said that she is another boss with a high level of face-changing skills.

Originally, the negotiations with foreign capital were almost over, and all the staff of MM company were waiting for the signing and stamping.

As a result, CC now has this matter. Jiucheng has been eyeing MM after acquiring CC, and there is also a more enthusiastic Baidu next to it.

The market situation is suddenly different, compared with CC’s various scandals of being called a traitor a few years ago. MM is more stubborn. There have been rumors online, but no evidence has been produced.

So although the total number of registered users is similar to CC, the total number of active users is more than 2.6 million, more than twice that of CC.

Now two Cheng Yaojins have come out at once, so the price cannot be as good as before.

Otherwise, MM's senior management is also ready to sell MM's domestic business in a package and divide the money to retire early. I'm done, you bite my balls?

So 9City first bombed the portal and cooperated with international chaebols to throw out Weibo, then turned around and swallowed CC to smash four 2s. The two bombs instantly bombed the entire domestic Internet industry, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Then Xuri Technology felt a little confused, and other Internet companies were even more excited. This is an era of heroes rising together. I was born in this era, and I can do it.

In addition, countless capital eyes are focused on this industry, and all kinds of hot money are pouring in. At the beginning of 2006, the most talked-about thing was not Alibaba's e-commerce, Gome's home appliances, or the eye-catching real estate, but the Internet game industry and instant messaging software.

Boss Chen has taken off, and Ninetowns has begun to build its own aircraft carrier with the help of Demon Domain. It looks like it is trying to catch up with Baidu. The game industry, which was originally despised at the low end of the industry, suddenly became popular and became the focus of major Internet companies. The company feels that it can be the core of industry creation.

"Free CC space music, free CC space background board, free CC level upgrade gift pack, free." Looking at Lin Wei talking to reporters at the press conference, Yang Dongxu rubbed his temples.

The situation where the instant messaging software was already a sure thing to dominate the world has now turned into a confrontation between two heroes. If Baidu works harder to win MM, it will return to the situation of the Three Kingdoms.

And even though CC and MM flashed their waists before, I can't help but think that the thighs of the two new bosses are quite thick.

Coupled with the above concerns about YY's monopoly on the instant messaging software market, given some competitive benefits, Yang Dongxu's side is not an ordinary headache.

"Should we?" Qiu Bosong asked.

"It's meaningless." Yang Dongxu shook his head, "Eating CC and thinking about swallowing MM, it's obvious that there are big benefactors behind it, and there are more than one.

Some paid items in our space are free, and members who upgrade to higher levels are free. What we will face in the future will definitely be an endless price war. They are not short of money, and we are not short of money, and we will not charge any fees for these projects in the future. "

This fight cannot be started, and there is no way to stop it once it starts.

Because whoever stops first will give netizens the impression that they can’t do it anymore. Such an impression can be very fatal. Because human beings basically have the temperament of stepping down and climbing high, this impression will remain, which gives Jiucheng an opportunity to attack Rising Sun Technology.

"But if we don't make it free, CC users will still have feelings for their accounts. They will be attracted by these benefits and may sign up again." Qiu Bosong frowned and said.

Don't look at CC's previous revelations that it was negotiating with international capital on conditions that would cede power and humiliate the country, causing CC users to openly boycott CC or even delete their accounts.

But many people still have feelings for their personal CC accounts. After all, they have been using them for several years. Even if you no longer chat with your friends in it, those friends just stay there, and no one wants to delete the photos and other things in the space.

This is like when WeChat comes out and everyone stops using QQ, but QQ is still available.

It’s no longer needed, but the feelings I invested before are still there. You can use it but you can’t throw it away.

The9 acquired CC, so the negotiation scandals that broke out before CC will no longer be a problem. Therefore, as long as CC users are attracted by these welfare conditions and log in to CC again, the stickiness will be there. CC users will experience a huge explosion in the number of online users in the next period of time, and it is not impossible to return to the peak directly.

Log in to the CC account again, even if no money is invested in this account, the investment of time is a kind of emotional bondage, and it is basically impossible for the user to lose it in the future.

"This is something that cannot be avoided. What we can do is let users invest more time and energy in YY. Let users think that YY has always been better than CC in terms of price.

In this way, even if CC restores the previous user data, even if Baidu takes down MM later, it will still come in. As long as we are number one, we will have an absolute advantage. "Yang Dongxu pondered for a moment and said.

Qiu Bosong nodded. It is said that there is no first place in literature and no second place in military power. In the Internet industry, especially in the chat software that everyone uses, there is still a big gap between the first and second place in the hearts of users.

"In this way, while optimizing the existing version of YY, the upgraded version prepared previously will be released. Then other icons will be added where the space icon is placed under YY.

For example, you can add album icons, mailbox icons and game icons. As long as the corresponding function icon is enabled, it will light up.

For example, when playing Fantasy, as long as you reach level 20, the Fantasy icon will light up, creating a topic to heat up this comparison. Then the bubble hall was launched, and the development of karts was accelerated.

Also, since Ninetowns provides so many benefits, it would be outrageous for us not to provide them at all. Free is impossible, so be it. YY member users will receive discounts when recharging to Xuri Technology users.

Let’s start with 50 yuan. If you top up the point card with 50 yuan, you can get a 9.92% discount or something. The space yellow diamond business is linked to web games.

Don’t some strategy games have building upgrades, or military commander training and upgrades that have a long time limit? The upgrade time for opening yellow diamonds has been reduced to a certain extent. Also notify the group lawyers to prepare. "

"Lawyer?" Qiu Bosong was stunned for a moment.

Originally, he admired Su Mu's improvised coping strategies, thinking that the boss was indeed a boss.

They came up with so many countermeasures in a matter of minutes, and it seemed that they were going to further bind YY and the game department to crush Ninetowns with their absolute strength.

So why are you suddenly looking for a lawyer?

"Lawyer! Now that we are ready for an all-out war, we can no longer be polite. Forget about some of YY's original functions. After all, this instant messaging software is not domestic.

Our copyrights are all bought from abroad. They imitate some functions of YY, and it is nonsense to say that it is a basic upgrade.

But our games, especially games like Bubble Hall, Go-Kart, and Audition.

If they dare to imitate, then we will sue. This time, we will do our best and stop trying to smooth things over. If we sue, there must be a result, and it must be as soon as possible. Now that the knife has been drawn, if they still want to follow behind and imitate and make money, there is no way. "

"I understand." Qiu Bosong nodded and understood what his boss meant.

This is an attitude, not only the attitude towards the two competitors, 9City and Baidu, but also the attitude to the upper level.

Aren't the officials afraid that YY will dominate the market and become a monopoly that cannot be removed?

Okay, you can support 9City or Baidu, and you are willing to smooth things over on some of YY's functions. This is indeed a bit unclear.

But 9City or Baidu, not only imitated YY's functions, but also imitated other game projects of Rising Sun Technology. Isn't this a bit too shameless?

There should be a limit to taking sides, right?

So the tough attitude here must be taken out. The crying child gets the milk. At this time, YY can't help crying and shouting.

As long as the upper level is not overly partial, you don't have to Are you still entangled in instant messaging software?

I will crush you with excellent game volume. How many years can you survive with a single Magic World?

Without the endless excellent games as a bundle, just an instant messaging software, let's see how long you can bind users.

And not only these newly developed games, but also the games in the current YY game hall cannot be given up.

In short, CC and MM should not even think about casual users.

Even if they can come up with chess, go, and landlords, YY can't do anything about it because they are adapted from real games.

What about the real copyright games of Frozen Throne?

In short, if you have the ability, you can also develop new and excellent games and we will fight head-on!

If you don't have the ability, just be the second, third, and the first position for eternity and give up as soon as possible.
