Chapter 882 - Own Crops
AOL has made another additional investment.
An investment of $100 million is a huge investment today.
In particular, it is foreign investment.
In this day and age, it is not as in the later generations that foreign capital wants to control domestic enterprises. In these years, who can attract foreign investment, that is the ability.
For example, Xinlang, who was able to obtain a $100 million investment from AOL, was almost like a national hero under media reports.
After all, in today's society, the desire to worship foreigners is very big.
For foreigners, what everyone thinks of is villas, sports cars, beaches, handsome men and beautiful women, and then foreigners are particularly qualified.
Nowadays, most Chinese people do not know that there are more than 200 foreigners. Among them, there are only a few who are really qualified, and most foreigners are particularly unqualified.
But anyway, there is now a voice of praise in the society, and Xinlang also uses this praise to hype his ICQ and games.
Of course, this is not profitable. AOL is also not counting on it to make money. The purpose is one, to seize the market.
Now, after AOL acquired ICQ, he didn't know how to make money, but Qin Feng opened a way for him to know that online games can be monetized.
Therefore, AOL launched the English version of "Happy Farm", and the madness of its foreign players, although the speed of krypton gold cannot be compared with that of China, but it can be profitable.
At this point, AOL saw an opportunity to make money from online games.
So, they chose to invest more. Let Xinlang gain a firm foothold and be able to seize the domestic market.
Therefore, 100 million US dollars was directly smashed over, the whole process was free, and a gift package was given in order to seize the market.
"The number of his registrations has exceeded 500,000, and the number of online users has exceeded 100,000!" Jiang Yong said anxiously.
With the heavy subsidy of AOL, the popularity has risen all of a sudden.
After all, it's free, and there's a variety of big packages. For some players, it is still very attractive.
Especially at this stage, there is no social media software that unifies social media, and everyone is still very attractive to the Internet, and online communication has not yet been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In this case, it is still very possible for Xinlang Wang Zhidong to poach.
"So ruthless!" Qin Feng was speechless.
This American Online has money, Qin Feng admitted. But it's not so heavily subsidized.
Do you value the Chinese market so much?
Qin Feng was a little puzzled. After all, nothing like this happened in history. In the past two years, it has been the time for AOL to be proud. Throw money around the world and buy everywhere. Then, there is no then.
Of course, it is still Qin Feng himself to blame.
If Qin Feng had not introduced cable modem technology from the United States, especially Qin Feng's rapid introduction, there would have been no rise of the Chinese network market, let alone the attention of American capital.
All this stems from Qin Feng's introduction of cable modems in advance.
Originally, the United States was not so open to this technology. Especially for Huaxia, there are restrictions.
It's just that the U.S. Department of Commerce did not attach importance to this technology, or did not think that Huaxia would want to introduce it. In addition, Time Warner is also in the expansion stage, and when Qin Feng is willing to give a high price, he agreed.
When the wood was done, the U.S. Department of Commerce didn't say anything more.
After all, Time Warner made money, and it made a lot of money, and taking advantage of the opportunity, American companies could invade the Chinese market, which was also an opportunity.
Therefore, Qin Feng ushered in such a powerful opponent as Xinlang, in the final analysis, it is also the way of cause and effect.
"It's okay!" Qin Feng was very calm, "Haven't I been developing a game before?" It's been developed, and I was expecting to delay it for a while. Since the other party wants to seize the market, let's go ahead. ”
Subsequently, Qin Feng passed the version of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" to Jiang Yong.
"What is this thing in Plants vs. Zombies?" Jiang Yong curious.
"A tower defense game. Uh, it's the enemy attacking, you defending. It's just that all the defensive weapons are plants that you grow to defend against zombie attacks. Qin Feng said with a smile.
Qin Feng slightly modified the stand-alone version of "Plants vs. Zombies", mainly to make the plants in it equal to the plants planted by the player.
In the stand-alone version of Plants vs. Zombies, players need to collect sunlight and buy various plants to defend against zombies. This online version is different in that all the plants grown in the player's farmland are used to defend against zombies.
In this way, "QQ Farm" can be regarded as a continuous continuation of vitality, and the viscosity to players is also higher.
"Okay, I'll load it in. Jiang Yong said excitedly.
Subsequently, Qin Feng called Wang Leilei.
"Wang Leilei, the stand-alone version of "Plants vs. Zombies" is about to be launched. Seize the market!" Qin Feng said.
"Oh!" Wang Leilei nodded.
"By the way, the Internet in Europe and the United States is now more developed, so you can get a game online website, so that players can shop for games online and download them online!" Qin Feng said.
"Online, no more CDs?" Wang Leilei was surprised.
"Well, if you don't release the disc, that's too expensive. Moreover, it also involves logistics or something, which is too troublesome. Sell directly online. Then, after you get it done, I'll arrange it, and spend some money to advertise in Times Square in New York!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Qin Feng, so powerful!" Wang Leilei said excitedly, "New York Times Square advertises!"
"Well, it's Times Square in New York!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "It's enough to make a sensation when you advertise there!"
"Okay, tonight, I'm going to get the website out and tie the game up. Wang Leilei smiled and said, "However, now this ocean optical cable has not been fully communicated, if the other party downloads, the speed will be relatively slow!"
"It's okay, after you design it, pass me the source code of the website, and then I will have people copy one in the United States and build a website in the United States!" Qin Feng said.
"Okay!" Wang Leilei hung up the phone.
After thinking about it, Qin Feng called Lisa.
"Qin, if you don't call, I thought my boyfriend was missing!" Lisa complained.
Qin Feng was embarrassed.
"This, isn't it really busy!What about the Internet war!" Qin Feng hurriedly smiled.
"I've been busy lately. Lisa sighed, "There are a lot of things in the company, and then my studies are also very heavy, by the way, what are you looking for me!"
"I want to set up a website in the U.S. and sell something, and I want you to help me. I really haven't had time to go there lately. Qin Feng said.
"The United States, that's a lot of taxes, so I'll help you create them in the Cayman Islands and sell them in the United States!" Lisa said, "That's a lot of taxes!"
