Chapter 1489 I'm Going to Do Something Big
In the office of the general manager of Shanghai Jiucheng, Lin Wei has been very busy recently.
Directly taking over CC can be said to have dropped a depth bomb in the domestic Internet industry. After all, there have been rumors that CC will sell its domestic business in a package to focus on the overseas market.
But no one expected that Jiucheng would suddenly come out and complete the acquisition with the highest transaction volume in the domestic Internet industry for 2.43 billion yuan.
You should know that before, everyone was still paying attention to what kind of satellite the Weibo of Jiucheng, Xinlang and Samsung would release. As a result, the Weibo satellite has not yet been launched, but a depth bomb has come.
"Mr. Lin, the data collection you want." The secretary knocked on the door and walked in, putting the folder in his hand on Lin Wei's desk.
Putting down the pen in his hand, Lin Wei opened the folder and took a look at the various information on it and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is Xu Ri Technology really not planning to launch any YY free activities for the time being?" Although the collected information is in her hands, Lin Wei is still a little worried.
"There is no news about this for the time being, and I have not heard that Xu Ri Technology has any plans in this regard. They only announced the improvement of the corresponding benefits of members, and they did not intend to be free." The secretary said.
Lin Wei nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she was a little afraid of a price war with Xuri Technology, because this war would not stop unless one side had more people.
This was undoubtedly a great pressure for her, but she had to make a move to offer huge benefits to attract users to return. Otherwise, what can CC do with the current active users of more than 1 million, and 90% of them are dead people who hang up?
Only by activating users can the acquisition of CC make a big profit instead of losing money.
But although it was imperative, she was still a little worried that Xuri Technology would fight to the death. After all, the boss also has the boss's temper.
But now it seems that the other party is still calm, knowing that it will not end well after the war, so it simply ignored this.
In this way, Jiucheng will offer benefits for one or two months to attract users who have left, and then cancel these benefits to restore normal revenue.
In fact, when making this decision, Jiucheng was a bit dishonest, because Jiucheng must attract users to return, so these benefits must be released.
On the other hand, YY's user activity is already sufficient, so there is no need to offer these benefits to attract users.
If there is a real price war, Xuri Technology will give up this part of the income and have to take out other money to fill this hole. This is a much bigger loss than Jiucheng.
Therefore, Jiucheng's strategy of attracting users to return with benefits is a bit like a barefoot person who is not afraid of wearing shoes.
And now it seems that Xuri Technology is too lazy to pay attention to her rogue, so a war of money-spending confrontation has been avoided.
Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at the information collected about Xuri Technology.
Yang Dongxu, who was sitting in the office of the chairman of Xuri Technology, frowned at the information handed over by Sun Yang.
"What do the game department think?" He was holding a game information that is relatively valuable in the foreign game market, but has not yet become popular, or has not yet been represented by domestic companies.
"I had a small meeting with Manager Changhao yesterday to study it. The heads of several game groups are very optimistic about EVE. They think this game is of high quality. If it can be done well, it can even make a living for a lifetime." Sun Yang said.
"What's your opinion?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Too difficult." Sun Yang spread his hands helplessly, "This game must be a good game. I agree with the heads of the various groups in the game department on this point.
But from a business perspective, it's too difficult for this game to become popular. It's not that this game is not good enough, but it's too good.
It's so good that ordinary computer configurations can't play it at all, and it's so good that people with insufficient brains don't deserve to play it."
Sun Yang smiled bitterly.
Yang Dongxu also laughed, with a little helplessness in his smile.
Is EVE good?
It's simply explosively good!
It's not an exaggeration to say that it is the number one interstellar game, and it will be the number one for the next ten years.
But its biggest problem is that it is too good, and this era of goodness can't keep up with it.
As Sun Yang said, this game can't be played with the current game configuration of domestic computers. Later generations often say that it was "Chicken Eating" that raised the hardware configuration of computers.
But in fact, EVE has already achieved this step in this era, but it has not become popular, and its influence is not as great as Chicken Eating.
In addition to the extremely high computer configuration requirements, if players don't have a little brain and only know how to PK and kill, they are not worthy of playing it.
You play this thing for a month or two, but you are confused about even the most basic things that novices need to master. How can you play it directly when you are discouraged by the game?
Even though NetEase later represented this game and made countless simplified versions, and finally became a mobile game, there are still many players who don't understand how to play it. The difficulty of this game can be imagined.
So compared with those foreign enthusiasts, the more difficult the game is, the more they will fight. In the Chinese game environment, there are enthusiasts who fight hard, and there are quite a few of them.
But this number is the result of comparing with foreign players. If compared with domestic game players, the number of these people is estimated to account for only one thousandth of the number of domestic game players.
So hard work and brain-burning can indeed reflect the high quality of a game, but it is not the mainstream of the game market.
Therefore, EVE is an excellent game, which is not only recognized by Sun Yang and the people in the game department, but also by Yang Dongxu.
But from a business perspective, a game that does not make money is rubbish no matter how good it is.
"I will study this information first, and you can leave the next matter to others. You take a YY technical team to the Google headquarters in the United States.
Use YY as a template to help Google come up with a set of instant messaging software. It would be best if you can help Google complete the construction of this software before CC and MM log in internationally." Yang Dongxu closed the folder in his hand and said.
"What does the big boss mean?" Sun Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.
These days, he has also been annoyed by the fact that Jiucheng acquired CC and Baidu was eyeing MM.
And this time, CC and MM not only took the opportunity to make a lot of money in China, but also went abroad. The sky seems to be wider.
Seeing two failed competitors suddenly turn around and live so well, leaving a lot of trouble for Rising Sun Technology in China, and taking the market ahead of YY in foreign countries, Sun Yang felt so happy.
Before, Yang Dongxu's eyes were always on China, and Sun Yang thought that the boss at home was a little out of reach for foreign affairs. He never thought that the boss would not take action, but once he did, it was a killer move.
This is Google, which launched a wave of satellites last year, which are brighter than Baidu's satellites. And the acquisition of CC by Jiucheng is indeed amazing, but Google also spent real money to win YouTube.
And at present, Baidu is only the first in China's search, while Google is the world's first, and it also has the world's number one YouTube website.
Such a giant is going to launch an instant messaging software, and it is quietly cooperating with Rising Sun Technology. This is too exciting, too exciting, Sun Yang began to take a deep breath.
At the same time, many question marks popped up in his head.
When did the boss talk to Google about this matter, why was there no news before? Of course, he only thought about these questions in his mind and did not ask them out loud.
"Don't be so excited. This is just a preliminary cooperation. There will be more cooperation in the future. It depends on how the team you lead this time can transform YY.
Your task this time can be said to be very heavy. First of all, the problem you have to solve is not only how YY can complete the architecture of instant messaging software based on Google.
You also need to do in-depth localization, the architecture of the chat window, the habits and differences of some YY functions at home and abroad, and various language and editing issues. You must do your best. The best. Don't give your opponent any chance. "
Yang Dongxu's face became serious.
Sun Yang subconsciously straightened up and stood up, "I understand!"
Looking at Sun Yang walking out of the office, Yang Dongxu's eyes began to lose focus and fell into deep thought.
This cooperation is very important to him, because it is his first obvious springboard to the international market.
When Sun Yang takes the technical team over, lays the architecture of the instant messaging software, and is sure that it can be a blockbuster.
He will personally fly to the United States to join hands with Google executives to hold a signing ceremony that will shock the world.
It is not enough that other competitors are just launching satellites and dropping bombs. We also need to make a nuclear explosion to show our status as the boss, right?
The result of the current discussion with Xiaojie and the Kennedy family is that Google will take out 11% of the shares and 3.89 billion US dollars in cash to take 75% of YY's controlling rights in the international market.
Of course, this is just the cooperation text announced to the public when the contract is signed. In fact, Yang Dongxu will take 70% of the controlling rights in YY's overseas market, and Xiaojie, the Kennedy family and the founder of Google will each take 10%.
The 11% shares originally belonged to Yang Dongxu, which was not a bargaining chip for the transaction. The real transaction was 3.89 billion, and Xiaojie, the Kennedy family and the founder of Google jointly invested to buy 30% of YY's overseas market shares.
The selling price of YY seems to be extremely high now, but in fact it is still a bit of a loss. After all, YY's future is limitless.
However, with YY, Google will definitely take off. He is a major shareholder of Google, and he will also make money if Google does well, so he can barely accept this price.
As for the Kennedy family, Jack Jr. and the founder of Google.
Although they feel that this amount of money is a bit too much, they think of the crazy growth of Google's stock after YY helped Google take off. This price does not seem so high.
As long as YY completes the construction of the instant messaging software platform abroad, it will stand on the shoulders of the giant Google and appear in front of the world.
The money that the three parties have taken out now will at most be a matter of two daily limits. This business is too cost-effective.
