Mrs. Cheng, I am glad to meet you. Lin Weidong also smiled at her.

Luo Qianqian sighed: "Mr. Lin is really young and promising. ”

Lin Weidong denied with a smile: "Mrs. Cheng is too awarded, if you want to say that you are young and promising, who can compare to Mr. Cheng?"

Cheng Tianqiao couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, Mr. Lin, let's not talk politely, let's talk about business." ”

Luo Qianqian glanced at Cheng Tianqiao, turned around and looked at Lin Weidong, and said playfully: "Mr. Lin, you talk, I'll miss you first." ”

Lin Weidong smiled and nodded: "Mrs. Cheng walks slowly." ”

After Luo Qianqian left Cheng Tianqiao's office, Cheng Tianqiao asked Lin Weidong about the development of Century Chinese Network.

In fact, Lin Weidong is also very curious about why Cheng Tianqiao's games are doing so well and suddenly turning his target to online literature.

All of this has to start from 2001, thinking that at the beginning, Cheng Tianqiao, who failed to start a business, made a desperate bet and bought out the agent of the Korean online game "Legend" in China with a net worth of $300,000, which can be called a life-and-death decision.

And this gambling decision quickly brought Cheng Tianqiao back to life: "Legend" quickly became popular in China after the internal test, becoming the most popular online game at that time, and there was no one! Until 2002, "Legend" was still the overlord of online games in China.

However, because "Legend" is popular all over the country, many young people are addicted to it, which also causes many problems: one legendary player played the game to death, and another player ran to Shanda to self-immolate because of equipment problems.

All of a sudden, public opinion overwhelmingly criticized Cheng Tianqiao, saying that he was an "electronic opium dealer", and the party newspaper even opened a column to criticize Cheng Tianqiao by name, even though his company was founded in accordance with the company law and paid a lot of taxes every year.

Under heavy pressure, Cheng Tianqiao felt physically and mentally exhausted, and began to deliberately slowly divest the game business, turning his focus to literature, video and other businesses that he was not familiar with.

The Century Chinese Network, controlled by Lin Weidong, became the first literary website that Cheng Tianqiao wanted to acquire.

Before leaving, Lin Weidong thought that Cheng Tianqiao just wanted to invest in Century Chinese Network, but he chatted with Cheng Tianqiao for a while before he reacted, it turned out that Cheng Tianqiao did not want to invest in Century Chinese Network as simple, but wanted to directly pay to acquire Century Chinese Network.

Cheng Tianqiao said confidently: "Mr. Lin, I will give you 1.5 million US dollars to acquire your Century Chinese Network, what do you think?"

Lin Weidong didn't think about it, so he directly refused: "I'm sorry Mr. Cheng, I have no intention of selling Century Chinese Network." ”

Cheng Tianqiao thought that Lin Weidong was too little money, and then said: "2 million US dollars, I will pay 2 million US dollars! I believe that this price, except for me Cheng Tianqiao, there will be no second person who can afford it." ”

Lin Weidong asked rhetorically: "Mr. Cheng, I want to know, you Shanda have been making games, why did you suddenly decide to acquire our Century Century Chinese Network?"

Cheng Tianqiao didn't think that Lin Weidong could threaten him, and he didn't play dumb riddles with Lin Weidong, so he told Lin Weidong his thoughts very frankly.

He hopes that Shanda will transform from an online game agency to a pan-entertainment content company, covering content production, distribution and operation, and make it a box strategy.

Under Cheng Tianqiao's strategy, the content of literary works is exported to computers, televisions, mobile phones and other hardware terminals in the form of movies, music, and games.

After listening to Cheng Tianqiao's words, Lin Weidong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Cheng Tianqiao can have today, it is definitely not just luck.

In Lin Weidong's view, Cheng Tianqiao's vision is simply beyond the times, and it can be said that it is quite advanced.

You must know that in Huaguo in this year, almost no one has mentioned the concept of IP, but Cheng Tianqiao's plan is not much different from the meaning of IP, and the term pan-entertainment has also been proposed.

In fact, what Lin Weidong doesn't know is that the concept of pan-entertainment has taken root in Cheng Tianqiao's heart as early as 1999.

Quite a few years ago, Cheng Tianqiao and his younger brother Cheng Danian founded Shanda Network, and at the beginning they wanted to be an online animation community "Heaven Returns to Valley", which is the "Internet Disney" that Cheng Tianqiao often mentions.

Lin Weidong has to admit that the blueprint depicted by Cheng Tianqiao can indeed make people's blood boil.

It's just that Cheng Tianqiao couldn't have imagined that his ambition was also Lin Weidong's dream.

The starting point of Cheng Tianqiao's entire plan is Shanda Literature, including Century Chinese Network, in order to maximize the dissemination of works and obtain IP fans, Shanda needs Century Chinese Network to be free, and only free reading can cultivate the market and establish users' stickiness to IP.

But what Cheng Tianqiao did not consider was that Century Chinese.com was able to stand out among many literary websites precisely because of the VIP system.

Obviously, Lin Weidong and the founding team of Century Chinese are supporters of the VIP policy.

After understanding Cheng Tianqiao's intentions, Lin Weidong also confessed his thoughts to Cheng Tianqiao: "Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry, we accept the investment of major shareholders Chinese the network, but do not accept any group acquisition. ”

Cheng Tianqiao said bluntly: "Mr. Lin, I invite you to our company today because of my sincerity and respect for you." ”

"But if you Century Chinese Network are obsessed and do not accept our grand acquisition, then your Century Chinese Network will definitely become our grand number one enemy, do you understand the stakes?"

Of course, Lin Weidong understood what Cheng Tianqiao meant, he just wanted to monopolize the entire literary website market.

If Lin Weidong's Century Chinese Network does not accept the grand acquisition, then the development of Century Chinese Network will inevitably be surrounded and blocked by other literary websites.

However, Lin Weidong grew so big, and it was the first time he was threatened, and his fighting spirit was immediately ignited.

Thinking of this, Lin Weidong smiled and nodded: "Of course I know what Mr. Cheng means, but it doesn't matter, it is also my honor to be Mr. Cheng's competitor." ”

Now that Lin Weidong has talked about this, Cheng Tianqiao doesn't talk nonsense with him anymore, and the two broke up unhappily.

After Lin Weidong left, Luo Qianqian returned to Cheng Tianqiao's office and asked him, "Tianqiao, how did you talk about the acquisition?"

Cheng Tianqiao said angrily: "This guy doesn't eat hard and soft, and the acquisition is estimated to be hanging." ”

After thinking for a moment, Luo Qianqian asked playfully, "Do you want Mrs. Ben to come out in person and talk to him in person?"

Cheng Tianqiao asked curiously: "Qianqian, you usually pay little attention, why are you suddenly interested in negotiating with this kid?"

The reason why Cheng Tianqiao asked this question is because he is usually busy with diplomacy and has to participate in various negotiations, while his wife Luo Qianqian is responsible for taking care of the company's internal affairs and rarely touches on diplomatic issues.

Luo Qianqian said: "As far as I know, this Lin Weidong is young, but he is a rare talent, if we can't take him for our own use, I'm afraid it's a big loss for us." ”

Cheng Tianqiao smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, this kid is too angry, just a general, it's okay to charge into battle, but the sense of the overall situation and strategy is weaker." ”
