Chapter 320: Acquisition of HAO123
"Wang Chang, do you know hao123 and the cat?"
"Mr. Chen, do you want to acquire these two companies?"
"That's right. ”
Chen Yu nodded.
If you want to fight with Baidu.
How can Wang Xiaochuan do it alone, it is not enough to have just one post bar.
Chen Yu also prepared a follow-up move to acquire hao123.
After instructing Xie Zhenyi, Chen Yu called Wang Chang over.
hao123 is a website navigation website, although there is no technical content, but because it is simple to use and more than 95% of the well-known sites are included in the website, it is very useful for many computer novices.
It should be said that hao123 is simple, but it is equivalent to an Internet traffic entrance.
Huanyu Technology is not Baidu's opponent in terms of search engine, so it must be prepared from all aspects.
hao123 is a very good opportunity.
"hao123 is a personal website, the founder is called Li Xingping, the profitability of this website is still good, Li Xingping doesn't know if he is willing to sell. ”
Career websites are okay, as long as the probability of interest acquisition is very high.
But it's not the same for individuals.
Some personal webmasters are more comfortable, and it's normal to ignore you.
"It's okay, contact him first to quote a relatively high price, if he still doesn't want to sell, we'll do it ourselves. I believe he should understand that there is not much technology in website navigation, he is just a personal webmaster, and it is impossible to fight for a large-scale Internet enterprise. ”
"Okay. ”
Wang Chang felt that Chen Yu made sense, and then said again: "The traffic of Maopu is okay, but I haven't found too many profit points, and the company is currently in some difficulties in terms of funds, and there should be no big problem with the acquisition." ”
"Okay, you can do it. ”
Chen Yu nodded.
After Wang Chang left, Li Nan also came to Chen Yu's office with a document.
"Mr. Chen, our stop has been made in the end. ”
"Oh, did you try it out?"
"At the moment we have launched a beta version, and the user response has been very enthusiastic, and I guess the show is going to be a hit. ”
Li Nan was extremely excited: "I really didn't expect users to be so interested in the game of knowledge answering." ”
"There are so many things that users are interested in, and it's not all about playing cards or anything. ”
Chen Yu said: "Run this game well, we will use this game to cooperate with TV stations in the future." ”
"Mr. Chen, don't worry, this show is not only interesting, but also very knowledgeable, and it is also quite interesting on the TV station. ”
After Li Nan finished reporting, Chen Yu made a phone call to Ye Xiaoqing.
"Sister Xiaoqing, I sent you an email, how is this show?"
"Great, I played your game, it was so much fun. ”
"How's it going, how about moving to the TV station?"
"It's just tailor-made for TV stations, it's just ......"
Ye Xiaoqing said with some excitement.
Today she had been playing for hours at a time.
Not only is this game very knowledgeable, but the opponents are also very strong.
Ye Xiaoqing was already a top student, but he didn't expect the opponent he matched to be so strong.
Worse Ye Xiaoqing felt that the other party was a computer person.
But later, after chatting, I found out that the opponent with his Pk was not a computer person, but a real person. is not only a real person, but also a scholar, and even Peking University.
This made Ye Xiaoqing sigh that this game was simply amazing.
At the same time, she is also extremely looking forward to the fact that if this game is moved to the TV station, it may be an instant hit.
Faintly, Ye Xiaoqing felt that this was an opportunity.
It's just that despite this, when Ye Xiaoqing submitted the program plan, the top kept pressing it and never gave a clear approval.
Chen Yu also heard that something was wrong, and only found out after questioning.
It turned out that the Internet program that Ye Xiaoqing had engaged in before was yellow, not to mention, and he was recently made difficult by the TV station everywhere.
"Is that your senior sister doing it?"
"Hmm. ”
"Hehe, you really have a good senior sister. ”
"I don't know what's wrong with her, but she introduced me to Shenzhen University in the first place. ”
"People are like that, when you are weak she may show her loving side to you, and when you threaten her position, she will step on you. By the way, what are you going to do now?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. ”
"With your current situation, why don't you go to other TV stations?"
"I've thought about it, but I guess it's not a show. ”
TV stations are no better than other jobs, and you can change jobs if you want to, but they are generally poached.
Or there are resources that others recommend in the past.
If you don't have resources and you're not being dug up, you basically can't jump out.
"If you don't try, how do you know it's no show. ”
"Then I'll think about it. ”
"Okay, I'll hang up first. ”
Hanging up the phone, Chen Yu checked the information of the person named Li Ziyi.
Recently, Li Ziyi is doing a show called celebrity face-to-face, which is similar to a song club.
TV stations rely on stars to pull ratings, and a number of star singers also increase their fans through TV channels.
"Brother Jian, you can take a trip. ”
On the internal phone, Chen Yu called Zhang Jianming to the office.
"Brother Jian, recently YY Games has a game called One Stop to the End, I'm ready to cooperate with a TV station, which TV station do you think is good. ”
"Mango, Sujiang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all good. ”
"Mango ratings are good, but it's too entertaining, Su Jiang and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you can contact you. ”
"Good. ”
Zhang Jianming also said expectantly: "If this show is on TV, our YY is estimated to hit a new high online at the same time." ”
That's right.
"One Stop to the End" was not on TV to help Ye Xiaoqing.
The real reason, that's for YY.
Although the Internet is developing rapidly, the most powerful media is still the TV station.
Especially this kind of program that has the opportunity to become a hit has great benefits for YY's drainage.
In addition, although the penguin's side was defeated by Huanyu Technology, it was always a trouble to defeat but not die.
This time, it is to completely end the dispute with Penguin instant messaging.
"By the way, Brother Jian, it seems that major record companies have sent a lot of singers to participate in the programs of Shencheng TV recently. ”
"Yes, there is participation. ”
"If I tell them not to participate, what will be the reaction from the record label?"
Chen Yu asked.
"Mr. Chen, who are you?"
"It's nothing, I'm not happy with that show on Shencheng TV. ”
"It should be fine. ”
Zhang Jianming nodded: "Actually, Shencheng TV doesn't have much strength, and the ratings are average, if we ask the major record companies to cooperate, it shouldn't be difficult." ”
"Okay, you can take care of this matter. ”
"Good. ”
YY Music Network is not very profitable.
The number of subscriptions to YY Music Network is not enough for the living expenses of these singers.
However, YY Music Network has successfully built itself into a vane in the industry.
Relying on the VIP payment system, the higher the subscription, the more it can become a hit offline.
In recent years, major record companies have been working closely with Huanyu Technology.
has successively taken out new songs to hit the YY Music Network.
With such powerful resources, although Huanyu Technology is engaged in the Internet, it has become a big man in the entertainment industry.
It is not too difficult to get some celebrities to cooperate with Huanyu Technology.
Of course, although it is not difficult, Chen Yu also knows the interests involved.
Subsequently, Chen Yu instructed Zhang Jianming to give more recommendations to these stars.
Even if the goal is achieved, these stars will not have any opinions.
......
Penguin.
After the failure of the operation of "Triumph", the life of the penguin is becoming more and more difficult.
Because there is no blood transfusion in online games, the consumption of instant messaging is relatively large, coupled with the step-by-step siege of competitor Huanyu Technology, the number of Penguin QQ online at the same time is declining again and again.
"Pony, we can't wait any longer, if we wait any longer, we will be dragged to death by Huanyu Technology. ”
"Liqing, we have already had three financings, refinancing, and the vast majority of equity may be surrendered. ”
"I know you value equity, and we value it too, but we can only wait for death without financing. Also, you have to look at the current situation of our penguins. Even if we are willing to raise money, not necessarily how many VCs are willing to follow. ”
In the office, Ma Huateng and Zeng Liqing smelled of gunpowder.
Zhang Zhidong, Chen Yizhou, and Xu Chenye did not make a sound.
If it was in normal times, Chen Yizhou and Xu Chenye would have persuaded them a long time ago.
But now they also feel that if they don't make a decision, the penguin will have to die.
"Liqing, how many venture capitalists have you been in contact with?"
Pressing his temples, Ma Huateng sighed and said.
"Contacted more than a dozen. ”
Seeing that Ma Huateng finally relented, Zeng Liqing's face softened: "Sequoia, Carlyle, Goldman Sachs...... They have all contacted, but they just studied it and then there is no follow-up, and there is only one that is more interested at present. ”
"Which one?"
"SoftBank. ”
SoftBank is certainly no stranger to it.
This company has invested in Yahoo, invested in Shanda, and invested in Alibaba.
In the domestic Internet sector, although SoftBank is not the strongest, it is the largest investment.
However, the corresponding is that SoftBank has very high requirements for shares when investing.
When SoftBank invested in Yahoo, it asked for 33% of Yahoo's shares, and when it invested in Alibaba, it asked for more than 20% of Alibaba's shares, and even reached 39% of the shares in the highest period.
Of course, it would be fine if Ma Huateng still had 100% of the shares in his hands.
But after several rounds of financing, Ma Huateng and their five founders no longer have many shares.
If SoftBank reinvests, I am afraid that the shares of the five founders of Ma Huateng will fall below 20%, or even more.
"If SoftBank does it, I'm afraid the penguins won't be ours by then. ”
Ma Huateng smiled bitterly.
"This is easy to do, we can implement the same mechanism of different rights of the same shares like Alibaba. ”
Although he wants financing, Zeng Liqing does not want Penguin's controlling system to fall into the hands of others.
"That's a way to do it. ”
Zhang Zhidong said approvingly: "If SoftBank wants more shares, we can agree, but his shares have no voting rights." ”
This is a solution that major companies have come up with in order to fight against capital.
Just like Ali in the previous life, Mr. Ma only has 7% of the shares, but he can also firmly grasp Ali.
This is the mechanism of weighted voting rights.
"Okay, Liqing, you can contact SoftBank. ”
There is really no way to be forced by Huanyu Technology, Ma Huateng said helplessly.
