Chapter 141: Engaging in online games
"My fork, what's the situation?"
"Why didn't you bind keywords to me?"
"Is this trying to hack my money?"
The next day, Chen Yu opened Baidu, searched for it, and found that the keywords he placed yesterday were not put into the search bar. Chen Yu was a little strange, and logged in to the enterprise version of the background again and found that the 1 million funds were still on it.
"Strange?"
It stands to reason that since you have received this money, you should hurry up and invest in promotion.
But if you don't accept the money, then it's right to return the money.
However, when he thought that PPC had just been launched, Chen Yu understood a little.
"It may be that Baidu hasn't figured it out yet. ”
This business is really a bit tricky for them.
It's not, it's not either.
I was afraid of being scolded.
After all, although the Internet law is not perfect for the time being, it is not illegal, but it is morally wrong.
But if you don't take it, it's 1 million.
Moreover, this is not just 1 million, 1 million is used up and you have to continue to recharge.
It's like playing a game.
If you want to become stronger, you have to keep recharging money.
Moreover, this should be Baidu's biggest business since PPC, and they are unlikely to give up.
Now that the PPC has been created, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later in the future.
They should figure it out.
After thinking about it, Chen Yu did not apply for a refund.
Let Baidu think clearly.
Anyway, this is Baidu's own business, and it's not me who was scolded.
You just have to be patient.
"Sister Yang, come here. ”
Closing the webpage, thinking that it would cost a lot of money during this period of time, Chen Yu called Yang Lan over.
"Mr. Chen, are you looking for me?"
A few minutes later, Yang Lan, who was in charge of the company's finances and taxes, came to Chen Yu's office.
"Hmm. ”
Chen Yu nodded: "Recently, the company has a lot of business, and the expenditure is relatively large, you calculate, with our current expenditure, how long can we operate normally." ”
"Mr. Chen, if it's just our 5173 network, we have millions of profits every month. However, since the launch of YY, we have spent a lot of money, and we have recently recruited a lot of people, so we have spent a lot of money on personnel. In addition, yesterday Manager Zhang quoted me two promotion expenses, the amount is still large after all, I expect that our cash flow will be problematic within 1 year. ”
"Oh, there's one more piece that doesn't count, I have another promotion business in Baidu. ”
"How much does this business cost?"
"About 1 million a month. ”
"So much?"
"Well, these bigwigs are vampires. ”
"If that's the case, then we may have a cash flow problem within six months. ”
"Half a year. ”
Chen Yu calculated in his mind.
Half a year is a short time, and it flies by in a flash.
If there is a cash flow problem after half a year, it will be very passive for the company.
This passive will not make the company go bankrupt, and 5173 is also profitable.
But the key thing is that your YY may not be able to support it.
After all, YY didn't make much money in the beginning.
Not only YY, but even QQ has just made a profit now, and the level of profitability is very limited.
The reason why they can continue to hold on is entirely because they received a financing from MIH last year.
"Mr. Chen, I think it's time for the first round of financing. ”
Yang Lan proposed.
"Financing, has the capital contacted us?"
"There are several, SoftBank and Sequoia Capital, and Xinlang.com is also very interested in us. Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to tell you that I thought we should be able to consider financing by taking this opportunity. ”
"Oh, did they make a offer?"
"It's just a new contact, and the specific price has to be negotiated, but SoftBank is more optimistic about us, and they said that if they are interested, they will come up with no less than $50 million as a financing line. ”
"$50 million, how many shares?"
"I'll get in touch with them again. ”
"No touching. ”
Chen Yu shook his head: "I'm not against financing, but the cost of financing is too great now." ”
The Internet is a bottomless pit.
This is also based on this, Internet companies cannot do without financing.
Even the largest company, no matter how big the enterprise, needs financing.
Chen Yu is not the kind of person who wants to control 100% of the shares, although he is also very controlling.
But he understands that financing is not only about absorbing capital, but also about settling some things that cannot be settled through capital.
After all, a person's power is limited, and the addition of capital can not only make the enterprise develop rapidly, but also avoid a lot of trouble. It's just that if you want to sacrifice most of the shares, Chen Yu can't accept it.
Now Huanyu Technology is in the growth period, and now Rongci, even if it is to take out 10% of the shares, Chen Yu is heartbroken.
Moreover, this is only the early stage of the development of the Internet, once it is time for everyone to burn money, the shares will be diluted faster.
"Mr. Chen, Penguin raised a fund in the second half of last year, if we don't raise money, then the instant messaging business should not be invested so much. ”
"If you don't enter the instant messaging business now, you won't have the opportunity to enter it. ”
"That's for 5173, for YY, now it's time to think more about financing. Without financing, we may not be able to outfight the penguins. ”
Going around and around, financing is the best option.
It's just that Chen Yu shook his head: "I know, but we don't necessarily need financing now." Isn't there still half a year, can't we just make enough money ourselves?"
"We make our own money?"
Yang Lan was a little confused.
Now the most profitable is the 5173 network.
But no matter how much money 5173 makes, after all, it is still a middleman.
Is there a middleman who still has a game company to make money?
Just thinking of this, Yang Lan said: "Mr. Chen, do you mean that we entered the game business?"
"That's right. ”
How could Chen Yu only be an intermediary website.
He's been wanting to get into the game for a long time.
It's just that in order to stabilize the website and launch YY first, the game business has been postponed.
Now it seems that the game business is imperative.
With that, Chen Yu called Li Nan and Zhang Jianming to the office again.
"Mr. Chen, the recommendation code has come out. ”
"Mr. Chen, Wang Chang has already contacted the founders of the major software, and he is just waiting to sign a cooperation contract. ”
Thinking that Chen Yu was asking about the past, Li Nan and Zhang Jianming reported to Chen Yu.
"Okay, you've done these two things as before, and now you're calling you here to talk about another thing?"
"What's the matter?"
"Are you interested in making games?"
When it came to the game, Zhang Jianming said excitedly.
"Damn, it's not nonsense. ”
"I've been waiting for you to say this. ”
Zhang Jianming is a game enthusiast himself, and even now, he still plays legends all the time.
Even if he didn't have time to play, he asked Wang Fatzi's studio to train him.
Chen Yu just said it, and he almost jumped up with excitement.
"Uh, Mr. Chen, don't look at me, I don't understand the game technology. ”
Finding that Chen Yu was looking at him, Li Nan was a little embarrassed, but still said: "However, I also support making games." ”
