Chapter 321: The Father of Rogue Software
Ma Huateng loosened his mouth, but Zeng Liqing immediately contacted SoftBank.
There are not many surprises, SoftBank has invested in the domestic Internet for many years and is very optimistic about the domestic Internet.
While they also know that Penguin has a stronger competitor, Penguin still has more than 2 million concurrent users, and even more than 10 million active people. This base is very large, although there are still some risks in investment, but since it is a venture capital, what do they want to do with an investment without risk?
$50 million.
This is the amount of investment given by SoftBank.
The stake is 30%.
This stake is not particularly large, but after Penguin three times of financing, it will give up 30%, Ma Huateng's founder team only has less than 20% of the shares, and Ma Huateng only has 9% of the shares. However, despite this, Ma Huateng's founding team still won a condition during the negotiations.
In the future, if it goes public, Penguin has the right to buy back SoftBank shares first-of-its-all.
SoftBank recognized this power.
SoftBank is just a venture capital firm, and they don't want to be shareholders for life.
They just want to make money.
Generally, venture capital firms sell their shares after a company goes public.
Because most of the time companies go public, venture capital companies have already made a large amount of money and will generally sell.
Unless the company still has a long growth potential, they will continue to hold the shares in their hands.
Just like SoftBank has always held Alibaba's shares in its previous life, although Ali is listed, SoftBank still holds a considerable part of Alibaba's shares.
"50 million US dollars, 400 million yuan. ”
Looking at the 400 million yuan that had already arrived, Ma Huateng planned in his heart.
"It's not a lot of money, but for the time being, it can deal with the current crisis. ”
At the founders' meeting again, Ma Huateng said to everyone: "How to spend this money?"
Zeng Liqing wanted to speak and stopped.
He really wanted to talk about the game again.
Online games are still the most lucrative internet projects, and their Triumph has tasted a little bit of sweetness. If it weren't for the ghosts of Huanyu Technology later, they would probably be very moisturized. But Zeng Liqing didn't dare to say any more. He was the one who proposed to enter the gaming field at the time, but he was also the one who screwed up.
Although Zeng Liqing can't be completely blamed for this, he was defeated by Huanyu Technology all of a sudden, which in itself speaks for itself.
"Let's focus on our old business. ”
Zhang Zhidong said.
He knew what Zeng Liqing wanted to say, but he knew even more why Triumph failed in the first place.
On the bright side, of course, it is the competition of the Universal Penguins, but the deeper reason is their lack of experience in online games.
They only have some advantages in the instant messaging area.
This is also the reason why Huanyu Technology has been constantly competing with them, but their QQ has not fallen.
In addition to the original users of QQ, this also lies in their understanding of instant messaging.
"I agree with Zhidong's opinion. ”
Chen Yizhou agreed.
"I agree. ”
Xu Chenye also expressed his position.
"I agree with Zhidong's proposal. ”
The four of them have all expressed their positions, and Zeng Liqing is even more unlikely to say it again.
"What are you looking at me doing, will I still harm the company, I also agree with Zhidong. ”
Zeng Liqing finally said.
"Liqing, we don't mean anything else, we all want to do the game, but we really don't have much experience. ”
Ma Huateng was afraid that Zeng Liqing would sulk, so he explained.
"We're all good brothers, I don't know, let's find a chance to enter in the future. ”
Although there are conflicts between the five people in the company's operation, the relationship between the five people is good.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to start a business together.
In this way, the five of them all looked at each other and smiled.
"In that case, let's go all out. ”
Ma Huateng high-fived everyone.
"Give it your all. ”
Everyone said in unison.
Either way, the penguins are much better now than they were when the company was founded.
Even if it fails, so what.
What's more, they haven't completely failed yet.
......
After the launch of the YY game "One Stop", the YY game platform exploded again.
Countless netizens have experienced the fun of this game.
It's not just a game, it's also a way to grow knowledge.
Not only netizens like it, but even some parents and students like it too.
There are even some teachers who recommend to parents that if you want your child to increase his knowledge, let him play "One Stop to the End".
With such a game, Huanyu Technology contacted several TV stations, and all TV stations expressed interest.
In the end, Huanyu Technology signed a cooperation agreement with Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, preparing to launch a new variety show "One Station to the End".
Of course, the reason why they are interested in Huanyu Technology's program is not only because of the popularity of this program, but also because of Huanyu Technology's influence in the entertainment industry.
Other people don't know, but they know it very well from some TV stations...... Not long ago, a celebrity face-to-face program on Shencheng TV was broadcast because of a sentence from the CEO of Huanyu Technology, saying that it would not be broadcast.
Of course, Shencheng TV also wants to continue broadcasting, but it can't find a singer.
What kind of show would a singer without a singer count?
At that time, Shencheng TV was a little coerced, and I didn't know who I offended.
It took a lot of effort for several deputy directors to dig up a little information from the major record companies.
It's just that Shencheng TV has some reluctance, when will this Huanyu Technology extend its hand to the entertainment industry.
Aren't they an Internet company, but why do major record companies please Huanyu Technology so much?
For this, the major TV stations have some confusion, in fact, the major record companies are also a little confused.
They don't know why, the whole music scene seems to have changed a day.
Under the entry of Huanyu Technology, it has started a new way to play.
However, although these things are going well, Wang Chang's side is in trouble.
Cat Pounce was successfully acquired.
But hao123 on his personal website is really in trouble.
It's not that Hao123's Li Xingping doesn't sell.
At first, Li Xingping didn't want to sell, he just wanted to take hao123 for the elderly.
This website does not use any technology, and it is easy to maintain, but the awesome thing is that the annual advertising cost is one or two million.
What could be more comfortable for an individual webmaster than a site like this?
However, after Wang Chang clarified the stakes of hao123, Li Xingping finally agreed to sell.
After all, hao123 currently has a lot of traffic, but there is no technology.
Li Xingping is just one person who is engaged in a website, with limited technology, limited vision, and even more limited strength.
In the future, if other companies also want to engage in websites such as website navigation, hao123 is definitely not an opponent.
If hao123 is not sold, Huanyu Technology will definitely make a website navigation that is exactly the same as hao123 as soon as possible. Not only Huanyu Technology will do it, but Baidu will also do it. Even...... Other businesses will follow.
But Li Xingping's side agreed, but Baidu's side seemed to smell the crisis.
actually contacted Li Xingping at the same time.
With a high price of 50 million, plus part of Baidu's equity, it grabbed ahead of Huanyu Technology and finally acquired HAO123.
"Mr. Chen, my fault, I didn't complete the task. ”
For not acquiring HAO123, Wang Chang blamed himself.
"It's not all your fault, either. ”
Chen Yu didn't expect that Baidu would kill him halfway.
It seems that Baidu has found out that it is preparing to engage in search business.
This is also normal.
Even Xu Yong could guess how could Li Yanhong, who was more shrewd than Xu Yong, not know.
It seems that this search engine battle is not easy.
Chen Yu sighed secretly.
"We also underestimated Li Xingping. ”
Although Li Xingping can't deal with Huanyu Technology or Baidu, Li Xingping knows the importance of his website navigation. No, as soon as Baidu, a competitor, was pulled over, the quotation rose from the original 30 million to 50 million in a minute, and there was even part of Baidu's equity.
I have to say that Baidu spent a lot of money in order to get hao123.
If Chen Yu goes to it, he will have to think about it.
Chen Yu can afford 50 million, but Chen Yu will not be able to take out a single cent of Huanyu Technology's shares.
"Mr. Chen, what should we do now, let's make a URL to navigate out?"
Zhang Jianming proposed.
"We should do it, but we have to spend some means on promotion. ”
There is no technical skill in URL navigation, and any web programmer can do it.
The key to navigating a URL is not in the technology, but in the traffic.
Everyone is used to using their hao123, and even if you make one now, you may not be able to use your URL to navigate. Of course, if it is slowly promoted, it is not unsuccessful, in the previous life, in addition to hao123, there were other successful URL navigation, such as 360 URL navigation and so on, but this is too time-consuming.
"Huh......"
As soon as he talked about 360, Chen Yu had a flash of inspiration and thought of an excellent idea.
"Brother Jian, contact Mr. Zhou of 3721. ”
Mr. Zhou of 3721 is none other than the famous Zhou Hongyi, who is also the boss of 360 in his previous life.
He is also the father of the famous rogue software on the rivers and lakes.
At this time, his 3721 relied on a series of rogue operations to occupy more than 90% of the domestic market at once.
Of course, 3721 is naturally not called rogue software on the surface, his business is to provide Chinese Internet services.
For example, if you want to go to Sina.com, generally if you don't use 3721, you can only enter Sina's URL.
Although this seems very simple, just type a few letters.
But the Chinese are more convenient for typing.
Wouldn't it be better if you typed three words on Sina.com, or directly typed two words Sina?
Relying on such a business, 3721 has won the favor of certain users.
If 3721 is all there is to it, it is not yet rogue software.
The point is that 3721 will hijack your Internet Explorer.
For example, he can prevent ads from popping up on the page, he can also modify the browser's homepage, and at the same time, he can also pop up ads.
Of course, it's not really much at this point.
If you feel that this software is not easy to use, you can uninstall it, and it doesn't matter if you don't use it.
But the thing about him is that you can't uninstall it if you want to.
Even if you uninstall it, sorry, 3721 will trigger another program to complete self-repair.
Not to mention that it is a computer novice, even professional players may be extremely crazy in the face of such rogue software.
