On the day he went to Xie Feibai's school, he waited for him to debate, the two had a light meal in school, Cheng Ran was about to go back, before leaving, Xie Feibai said, "I know that Yu Xiao has won the top three in the southwest region of the WCG trials, I am in their group, and then they will go to the capital to train and participate in the finals......"

"I know the first three, and I'm paying attention. Cheng Ran raised his head and greeted the sunlight projected through the cracks in the big trees. He started his own career and did many things that he couldn't do in his previous life, because he knew the direction, and then insisted on doing it, and was forced to travel when the time was not right. However, looking at Yu Xiao, he has deviated from the trajectory of his previous life and embarked on a path that he has always wanted to take, and it can even be said that he is extremely courageous and can be regarded as a pioneering achievement.

Once in the middle of that year, there were several intermittent relationships, the most important one was beaten by a stick, resulting in a man who did not get married, did a job in the system, and did not starve to death, but the overall feeling of life was like this. once said to Cheng Ran, "After all these years, you are wandering, I am mediocre, our brothers may be inferior to others", and sometimes in Cheng Ran's phone call, he would also say that he had just drunk a few days in a row, slowly, and he was a man with more than enough strength but not enough strength.

In his youngest and most vigorous years, another choice was made.

"What's going on behind the scenes...... Going to train for a summer?"

"After this summer training camp, I will play in the Chinese finals, and finally select three people to go to South Korea. If you play in Korea in December, will you go and watch it? Xie Feibai said.

"What if...... Then go and see it......"

......

In the summer vacation of July, Cheng Ran returned to Chengdu, the number of CQ users is about to exceed 100 million, which is expected to be the goal to be achieved next month, and now the total number of employees within CQ has more than 200 people, and the entire floor of the building is a grid room for employees, and every one or two days there will be new employees to join. At this point, Cheng Ran does not often go to CQ headquarters, on the one hand, he does not interfere with the operation of CQ headquarters, on the other hand, there are often some reporters and observers outside CQ, if he needs to talk to CQ at a high level, Cheng Ran asks the core personnel to meet at the Tianxing Gym.

Lianzhong released the online version of Three Kingdoms, and in this growth stage of the domestic online game landscape, Lianzhong continued to occupy the top of the casual game platform, and began to actively seek excellent quality online game agents.

Lianzhong, CQ Game Department, Yubi, and the three alliances this year have opened up the channel for game content production and talent exchange. Yubi is a large international game company, and as a result, the domestic online distribution channel has been taken to CQ, which does not make games, to seize the high ground. As a result, Yubi had to commit to others in turn, the president of the French woman Ge Ling is not willing to condescend to others, and even make a wedding dress for people, but the form is a compromise that is stronger than people, and now it is a strategic cooperation with CQ, but in fact, if she can grasp the opportunity, she may want to turn over.

Cheng Ran is ready to adjust his strategy, mainly led by Lianzhong and CQ, and is ready to create a department responsible for the entertainment business, separating the CQ game department from the backbone. Then this department can concentrate resources on expanding its territory in the next growth period of domestic online games, without occupying CQ's operation and interfering with the backbone of Lianzhong's casual game platform.

There are a lot of recommendations from all parties above who choose how to arrange, and Cheng Ran feels that he needs to investigate more. In order to achieve the point where neither CQ nor Lianzhong can intervene and maintain independence, I am afraid that they cannot use the vice presidents recommended by both parties, and they need to be parachuted in.

Now whether it is CQ or Lianzhong, there is a group of capital hunting, not that no one has come to the door to ask for investment, but so far there are seven or eight well-known investment companies that want to be contacted, and SoftBank Asia has recently found Lianzhong. And when I chatted with Cheng Qi this time, I learned that Cheng Qi Investment controlled BAA Games, which is now the Chinese organizer of WCG.

In other words, Samsung Electronics and the South Korean government in South Korea took the lead, and Cheng Qi's Lianzhong as the co-organizer opened this year's WCG competition......

When he knew this, Cheng Ran actually wanted to complain, how could he think of this brother to run to get involved in such a thankless thing as WCG.

But fortunately, this session is dominated by South Korea, and Lianzhong will not spend much money, and the South Korean government may not contribute money next year, and Samsung will carry the banner, and by the way, with its expansion in the global market, it will continue to hold this large-scale event for marketing.

But after all, e-sports is still a niche market, Samsung is throwing money into it every year, and I can't wait to find a few shoulders, so I have to remind Cheng Qi when the time comes, don't run to help Samsung carry it with a hot head, it's okay to choose to rub the heat next to it, it's like buying an advertising fee, otherwise the cart is turned upside down, Lianzhong is not a big player like Samsung.

Mainly under the premise of sufficient funds brought by the game business, Cheng Ran does not want to introduce foreign capital to dilute the equity, so the outside world is quite confused about this.

Generally, a company, especially an Internet company, is very rare and does not need external investment to help itself grow, unless the founder is confident in his company to the peak of the level, to ensure that his company will not encounter a cold winter, will not collapse, otherwise the Internet industry, everyone wants to make a big cake at the same time to get a return on cash-out returns, to put it bluntly, no one is so clear to see the prospects, in order to avoid waves to get wet and transparent, how much or a little more or not to go ashore first to pocket a part of the wealth.

The outside world's stinginess of CQ and Lianzhong probably can only explain it, that is, online games are indeed a rising cash gold mine, and whoever dominates this mine will indeed have a little more confidence.

Some people also think that this is based on their own cash flow, waiting for the price to be sold.

This approach has also been successful, for example, MIH's recent investment in CQ has changed from a 30% stake of $18 million to a 30% stake of $30 million at a time when CQ is about to reach 100 million users.

This means that CQ has risen to $100 million from its original valuation of $60 million. In fact, this has made many domestic Internet companies salivate, but CQ is so capricious and still does not move on to the current highest bidder of South Africa.

There's another story about this, "CQ, what the hell do you want!?" from a media outlet that likes to report in a sensational format. Among them, he tried his best to analyze Li Mingshi's mental plan, and even suppressed the team's desire to cash out for profit, suppressed the domineering wrist of investors' demand for investment returns, controlled human greed, and once again confirmed Li Mingshi's title of cold "alien".

Cheng Ran could only be surprised when he saw this version of the report. What you want is still the inseparable 30%.

As for valuation...... It doesn't make sense.

This is also the reason why Cheng Ran tried not to go to CQ, investors in the market are fully interested in CQ, so they are now mining the holders of the part of the equity of CQ offshore company, this part of Zhao Qing has done a full set of shells, it is difficult for people to know that Zhao Qing's holding company is the part of CQ's offshore holders.

But Cheng Ran still has to avoid appearing in public to attract attention and generate unnecessary contact. As CQ's valuation is higher and more favored by the outside world, the more interested parties will be in them.

Jiang Hongshao came to Rongcheng in August, Jiang Hongshao has three holidays a year, only the summer vacation coincides with the country in July and August, and now one of his parents is in Nanzhou, one is in the capital, and Lao Jiang has to stay in two places at most when he returns to China, and finally he went to Rongcheng to play for a few days accompanied by his sister-in-law Li Yun.

This is also a rare time for the two to get together.

happened to meet a Sino-Japanese film festival exchange meeting in Chengdu, and they watched "Spirited Away" in the cinema together, which was not officially introduced into China.

The conditions for Lao Jiang to come to Rongcheng are more harsh, and her sister-in-law Li Yun will pick her up to visit relatives and friends at dinner in the afternoon, and naturally there is no time to get together after the evening, so Cheng Ran wants to do something, and he can only walk through the secluded path in the jungle when the two of them have watched a movie, and they have wrinkled the clothes of people and girls like spring water, and the herons and gulls on the lake beach have also flown away.

Walking out of the path, looking at Jiang Hongshao, who was holding hands and wearing a black base and a small white floral dress, Cheng Ran felt that it was really more and more attractive, and after not appreciating it enough, the phone rang, and Yu Xiao called.

Yu Xiao is now training in the capital, and during this period, he will also call Cheng Ran to ask about the situation over there, and when he heard the voice next to him, he asked, "Who is next to you?"

Jiang Hongshao took the phone from Cheng Ran's hand and smiled, "Old Yu...... I've heard you're amazing...... How's it going, are you sure you're going to South Korea?"

"I'm ...... Didn't you go back to China in Nanzhou? You actually went to Rongcheng...... Tut-tut, some time ago I heard that you may come to Beijing when you return to China, and I also said that I would find time to meet you for dinner......"

As a result, Yu Xiao was in an uproar, it should be in the Internet café environment, and many people came around, gossiping, with accents from all over the world.

"Woman, the reaction is so big, you call your brother Jiang?"

"Wow, Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang...... Where, on the phone?"

"Hello, Moxi Moxi——!"

Many people on the other end of the phone pulled Yu Xiao's hand to the microphone to coax, Jiang Hongshao gently pursed the corners of her mouth, she was playful, and gave Cheng Ran a smile.

"Hi...... I arrived in the capital, luggage with a camera, and a photo album, originally planned to install here to take pictures and wash the photos, but the album has a few photos of us before, you are in Jiuzhaigou, you and I Cheng Ran are three people in Shanhai No. 1 Middle School, and high school graduates with you, were seen by this group of guys...... I couldn't stand these inquiries, so I told you some of your previous deeds......

As a result, a group of people shouted to be your fans, I said that you have an old Cheng, this group of guys is still making trouble there, I think they are just suffocating into monks one by one in the training environment, don't be like them...... Don't come here, calf...... Alas, I didn't mean you, red peony......"

Cheng Ran took the phone from Lao Jiang's hand, and heard someone on Yu Xiao's other end shouting, "Meimei, come to Beijing to have a meal together......" "Alas, know ...... acquaintance"

Holding his mobile phone, Cheng Ran suddenly wanted to discuss with Cheng Qi, the organizer of this WCG of Lianzhong Holdings, or else he would have forgotten about this group of guys......

The Chinese team is all wiped out!

......

Nanzhou, University of Science and Technology Hi-Tech Building. Chip R&D Center of Microelectronics Institute.

Chen Yue got a report from the chief technical officer of the Alpha team who couldn't hide his upward tone, "Our 'source code' has been sorted out and mastered!"

"Are there any omissions in the source code?" Chen Yue felt that his heart was raised, and the value of this news would make his attention rise to a higher level at this time.

"The next step is to stream engineering samples!"

Chen Yue thought of that future, and it was a torrent from his spine to his brain, "I immediately contacted the tape-out, and once the tape-out came out, the China IC Industry Forum at the beginning of the year ...... We'll just catch up!"
