Chapter 23: The Penguins Are Coming
(Everyone, ask for tickets, huh...... )
The craze of "stealing vegetables" came unexpectedly.
It seems that overnight, netizens across the country fell into a craze for stealing vegetables. Countless office workers, after work, keep counting the time, calculating the time when the vegetables on the farm are ripe.
In order to speed up the ripening of vegetables, players began to buy fertilizers to speed up their growth and save vegetables from being stolen.
Or buy a pastoral dog and watch over the home.
But the dog needs to eat dog food, otherwise he will lie down in the nest and not work. Someone comes to steal vegetables, doesn't bite, and even dismantles the kennel.
That's where dog food comes in.
One after another, it has brought a lot of profits to the friend network.
......
Gangnam City, Friends Network.
Zheng Ge was sitting with Xi Meng, discussing the next plan of the friend network.
"The network of friends is gradually on the right track, and we can change office locations. ”
Zheng Ge looked at the surroundings and said.
It's very stylish, but it's a little unpresentable.
During the start-up period, you can make do.
But it has developed, and the company has become large-scale, and it is not very suitable to still work here.
"I've asked people to look for an office space, and I'm going to rent a floor office space in Lakeside Building. The first floor is about 2,000 square meters, which is enough for now. ”
Simon said.
Zheng Ge nodded and continued: "After the company moved, a R&D department was established to start developing the Friends APP. The times are changing, the smart phone system is gradually improving, and the future will be the world of mobile phones, and we cannot be left behind. I'll leave the idea of the app to you when the time comes. ”
Zheng Ge pondered in his heart, preparing to come to a friend's online version of WeChat.
Instant messaging on the PC side can't do TT and Penguin. But in terms of mobile, the two giants have not paid attention to it yet, and there are still opportunities.
"Understood. ”
Xi Meng nodded, she obeyed Zheng Ge's orders.
"In addition, 50 million campaign funds will arrive soon. At that time, the national school flower selection activity can be launched. Once this event is successfully held, the momentum of our friend network will skyrocket. ”
Zheng Ge said.
He has already contacted the bank, took out 30% of Feiyu shares, and mortgaged 50 million.
Feiyu game's monthly turnover is close to 300 million, and it is expected to break through the 300 million mark this month.
The loan application went very smoothly.
Simon's face was expectant.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
There was a knock on the office door, and a girl in professional clothes walked in and said, "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Xi, Penguin Group, Penguin Space Division, just called, saying that there is cooperation to talk to you." ”
"Penguin?"
Xi Meng was stunned.
Zheng Ge smiled and said, "I guess I'm here for Happy Farm, you can talk about it." ”
"Could it be that the Penguin Group wants to buy Happy Farm?"
Simon let the girl out and frowned.
"Probably, but they should understand that we won't sell Happy Farm. Therefore, the main purpose of their visit this time may be to authorize. ”
Zheng Ge laughed.
"What if the penguins want to be authorized?"
Simon asked.
"What do you think?"
Zheng Ge did not answer the rhetorical question.
Xi Meng pondered for a moment and said, "Happy Farm is very popular, but it can't last long. The current popularity is just a sense of freshness and novelty in people's pastoral life. ”
"Once the novelty has passed, the heat has passed. Next, we are about to launch a large-scale event involving colleges and universities across the country, which requires huge funds and resources. ”
"Therefore, I think we can authorize Happy Farm to Penguin Group, so as to use the funds and channels of Penguin Group to do the 'school flower selection activity'. ”
She thinks that the selection of school flowers is the next focus.
Because she is also a college student, she knows the attraction of the word school flower to students.
Both boys and girls are attracted.
Girls aspire to be school girls.
Boys aspire to have school flowers.
At present, major colleges and universities do not have the concept of school flowers.
Coupled with the huge bonuses set by the friend network, it can attract countless girls to actively participate.
Once fried, it will definitely be an instant hit.
Zheng Ge nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you can talk about it." Just authorize, the hot period of Happy Farm is still very long, at least for half a year, the freshness still exists. ”
"Good. ”
Simon nodded, and began to think about how to get more benefits from the penguins.
......
The Penguin Group came quickly, and it was a heavyweight, Jiao Wenbo, manager of the Penguin Space Business Division.
In the conference room of the friend network, the two sides sat down, and Jiao Wenbo said: "Mr. Xi should know our intentions, I don't know what Mr. Xi thinks?"
"Happy Farm, we won't sell it. ”
Simon said.
Jiao Wenbo nodded, no surprise.
"And what about authorization?"
Jiao Wenbo continued.
"10 million license fee, in addition, our friend network needs to sign some cooperation contracts with Penguin Group. ”
Simon said.
Jiao Wenbo's brows furrowed.
10 million licensing fee?
To put it bluntly, it doesn't do penguins any good. Because the current friend network is still very weak.
"No, it's too high. ”
Jiao Wenbo said.
Simon smiled, "It seems very high, but this is very helpful for the Penguin Group's next strategy, isn't it?"
Jiao Wenbo waved his hand, "Let's not talk about any strategy today, let's talk about Happy Farm, we can't agree to a 10 million licensing fee for Penguin Group, a maximum of 2 million." If Friends.com agrees to sell Happy Farm in a package, we can offer a price of 10 million. ”
Simon shook his head and started a negotiation with the other party.
A small mandate, and it didn't last long.
In terms of price, it was quickly negotiated.
But in some cooperation with penguins, Jiao Wenbo bit very hard and was unwilling to give too many resources.
For Penguin Space, the network of friends is also a threat.
In a way, it's even more threatening than TT space.
No way, who makes the content of Friends.com do well?
The Internet sells content!
After two days of negotiations, Simon finally reached an agreement with the Penguin Group. Friends.com authorized Happy Farm to Penguin Space for 5 million.
At the same time, several cooperation contracts were signed.
These cooperation contracts are prepared for the school flower selection activities.
......
After getting the authorization of "Happy Farm", Penguin Group changed the name of "Happy Farm" to "Penguin Farm" and began to promote it wildly.
After the Penguin Farm was launched, the Penguin Group, which has 200 million users, suddenly exploded with great power, and even the Penguin stock price rose slightly.
This caused quite a stir in the industry.
After getting the authorization of Happy Farm, the traffic of Penguin Space has been rising.
This made the major Internet companies moved, and they have found friends to buy licenses.
Simon did not refuse them all, selected a few companies, and authorized cooperation, in exchange for some resources and funds.
During this period, TT Group also called to purchase the license.
But Simon refused without hesitation.
Although TT Group's channels are also very strong, TT plagiarized Happy Farm first, just for the sake of backbone, and it can't authorize Happy Farm to TT.
