Chapter 70: Why Don't You Go to Heaven?
Imperial capital, the headquarters of Renren.
In the spacious conference room, Chen Yizhou, CEO of Renren, looked at He Chuan, the person in charge of the game project, and said, "Lao He, how is the progress of "Peanut Shengshi"?
He Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "There are no conditions." ”
Chen Yizhou's face changed slightly, and he said, "What do you mean?"
"Their boss refused to cooperate with the agency. He Chuan sighed.
Chen Yizhou frowned and said, "Is there a source?"
He Chuan shook his head and said: "It should be just an ordinary game company, I don't see any origins, but their company has been relatively famous in the industry recently, the boss is good at Internet marketing, and the company already has a number of popular web games." ”
Chen Yizhou still frowned, and said, "Then why do they refuse, and they are not happy to make money?"
It's no wonder that Chen Yizhou will feel dissatisfied, because next month is the day when Renren will be listed, and the revenue of the game has always accounted for the majority, and he urgently needs such a popular web game as "Peanut Prosperity" to make Renren's plate bigger and increase the overall market value of Renren, which will be beneficial to the stock price on the NASDAQ at that time.
Since the popularity of 'stealing vegetables' and 'grabbing parking spaces', Renren has always attached great importance to web games, and has specially developed several web games for this purpose, including "Book from the Sky", "Tomb Robbery Notes", "Troubled World" and so on.
It can be said that Renren Games contributed more than half of Renren's revenue, and it was always the main force of the company's revenue until it was divested.
As soon as the page game "Peanut Prosperity" came out, it entered the field of vision of industry insiders, and there was no way, because the advertising was too ferocious.
Nowadays, as soon as many netizens turn on the computer, there are advertisements for "Peanut Prosperity" everywhere, and the image of a bald fat man carrying a dragon slayer knife is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Many people only have one idea, if it weren't for the boss of Peanut Technology who was crazy, it was that this web game was super profitable.
"Peanut Prosperity", a web game with a very high return rate, is also the game that Renren needs at the moment, as long as it wins the agency, with the huge number of users of Renren, it will greatly increase the revenue and market value of Renren.
However, Chen Yizhou never expected that the boss of Peanut Technology would refuse to cooperate, and this kind of good thing of lying down and sharing money can't be found with a lantern, right?
He Chuan hesitated for a moment and said, "There is something I don't know whether to say or not. ”
"Is there anything you can't say at this time?" Chen Yizhou said.
He Chuan's face became a little solemn, and said: "My subordinates have communicated with the employees of the other company, and the reason why the other party's boss is reluctant to authorize the agent seems to be because their boss doesn't look down on us Renren.com. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yizhou couldn't help laughing and said: "Where did the frog at the bottom of the well come from, when Renren goes online next month, a small company like them will not have the qualifications to look up to us." ”
He Chuan shook his head and said, "No, I heard some of the other party's words, and I think he made a lot of sense." ”
Chen Yizhou was stunned and said, "What did he say?"
He Chuan sighed and said: "Mr. Chen, do you know that the China Internet Cafe is the first Internet company in China to be listed on the NASDAQ, and now its market value has fallen by 99%, and it is estimated that it is not far from bankruptcy." ”
Chen Yizhou frowned and said, "You mean, he compares Renren with China.com?"
He Chuan nodded with a wry smile and said, "There is a very important point in what he said, the content. ”
"Content?" Chen Yizhou was stunned.
He Chuan nodded and said: "Yes, what he said is indeed very reasonable, our platform lacks content, most of the content uploaded by users is relatively simple, and there are some living conditions, chicken soup, common sense, etc., and most of them are reprinted, and there is a serious lack of original content." ”
"Even so, we have more than 100 million users. Chen Yizhou frowned.
"But users will be lost, especially when there are competing platforms. ”
"Which competitive platform?" Chen Yizhou was stunned and asked.
He Chuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's all bits and pieces of information from my subordinates." ”
Chen Yizhou frowned, and then fell into thought, after a while, he suddenly stretched his brows, and smiled: "This boss of Peanut Technology is very interesting, you help me get a contact information, I will talk to him personally." ”
…………
"You're my little apple
I can't love you enough
The little red face warms my heart
Light the fire of my life
Fire fire fire
……”
Xia Hongwu hummed a cheerful melody in his mouth, but his face was full of strange expressions.
"What the hell is this?" Xia Hongwu finally couldn't sing anymore and couldn't help but complain.
Li Zhe smiled: "I have said it a long time ago, this song is not suitable for you to sing." ”
"It's not a question of suitability, is it, will anyone really listen to this kind of song?" Xia Hongwu said speechlessly.
Li Zhe smiled and was noncommittal.
In his previous life, when he first heard the song "Little Apple", he felt similar to Xia Hongwu, but if he didn't listen to it a few times, he would be completely brainwashed by this song.
"You can ask first, if there is a suitable person, you can introduce it, of course, you need to sign a contract. Li Zhe said.
Xia Hongwu nodded and responded.
At this moment, Zhu Yuhan's phone called.
Li Zhe pressed the answer button, and after a while, he hung up the phone, with a thoughtful expression on his face, Chen Yizhou actually wanted to talk to him, could it be because of "Peanut Prosperity"?
Calculating the time, the time for Renren to go online should be about the same.
In 2011, Renren Company packaged its Renren.com, Renren Games, and Nuomi.com to go public in the United States, becoming the second largest Internet giant after BAT, with a maximum market value of more than $8 billion.
At the same time, a large number of users have also brought a lot of advertising revenue and game revenue to Renren, and it can be said that this year is the peak period of Renren.
The high-spirited Renren.com,Started the journey of burning money,Less than half a year after the listing, it acquired the 56 video website at a price of 80 million US dollars,It's a pity,Renren did not plan to make 56Video a separate video website,Just use it to increase the concept of the complex of Renren.com。
In Chen Yizhou's heart, he positions Renren as a complex that integrates social networking, games, group buying, and video, after all, he is an investor, and he knows what investors want.
It's a pity that Chen Yizhou is an excellent investor, but he is not an excellent product manager and operation expert, and it didn't take long for Renren to begin to face huge losses, and the stock price fell rapidly, and finally completely declined.
However, it is estimated that all this will not be revealed until a few years later, and at this time, if you run to Renren and say that you are going to go out of business, there is a chance that you will be treated as a fool.
Therefore, when Renren expressed his hope to obtain the agency of "Peanut Prosperity", Li Zhe refused, "Peanut Prosperity" is his main project, and the other party wants to use a share of the white wolf to obtain agency rights, so he can only say, why don't you go to heaven?
