399 [Online Game?]
Before Song Weiyang left Beijing, Sohu held a conference call of the board of directors and agreed that Song Weiyang would inject 10 million yuan to increase his shareholdings.
Immediately, Guyong will begin to standardize the company's system and build an administrative and financial team. Zhang Chaoyang completely let go of this, but he still personally grasped the content and operation, and Sohu Company was on the right track.
Kingsoft is once again in financial trouble, whether it is office software or games, Kingsoft's products are very popular. Unfortunately, the market environment is too poor, piracy is countless times that of genuine copies, and products that can barely recover their costs can be considered good products.
Historically, Jinshan should have run out of money last year, Zhang Xuanlong could only find Mr. Liu, and Lenovo injected $4.5 million to become the major shareholder of Jinshan.
However, due to Song Weiyang's early investment, the gold mountain of this time and space has been dead until now.
Zhang Xuanlong didn't bother to find Mr. Liu, and directly asked Song Weiyang if he was willing to continue to invest money. Looking all over China, except for Song Weiyang, it is estimated that no one will be stupid enough to invest in Jinshan. Lenovo's capital injection in history is not because Mr. Liu is optimistic about Jinshan, but purely to repay Zhang Xuanlong's previous favors.
Song Weiyang flew directly back to Shenghai, let Hong Weiguo come back by himself in a Humvee, and by the way, he gave Hong Weiguo a few days off - Lao Hong's family arranged a blind date for him.
Walking out of the airport, Song Weiyang got directly into a Santana, which was a car sent by Shenzhou Technology Company to pick up the airport.
"How much money is missing?" Song Weiyang asked on the phone.
Qiu Bojun said: "It's not good to say, anyway, I've been short of money, how much can you invest." ”
Song Weiyang asked, "What is Zhang Xuanlong's opinion?"
Qiu Bojun said: "He doesn't care, you can give you all the shares of the company, as long as you can keep Jinshan alive." ”
Kingsoft really has a hard time, and last year's "Kingsoft Word Boss 3" invited well-known singers and bands to promote and build momentum, and only sold 40,000 sets of software. But the sales of these 40,000 sets have already "shocked the industry", and it is difficult for other companies' products to sell more than 10,000 units, and the profits have been earned by those pirates.
The domestic general software industry is like a gang of beggars, and Jinshan is the leader of the gang of beggars - all beggars.
Historically, Kingsoft's real turnaround was the launch of "Kingsoft Word Tyrant 2000" in 1999. At that time, the state reduced the value-added tax of software enterprises from 17% to 3%, Jinshan heard the wind and moved, the original price of 168 software only sold 28, Lei Jun led people to promote the country for three months, setting off a "red genuine storm" action, selling 1.1 million sets of software in one go!
It was a classic sales war in the first half of Lei Jun's life, seizing the opportunity to cut prices crazily, and shouting the slogan of supporting the genuine version, which immediately caused a sensation across the country. When the event was held in the Beijing Book Building, even consumers from Tianjin came by car to support, and the scene was like a star signing, selling 210,000 sets in three days, equivalent to several times the annual sales of the previous year. At that time, it was sold out of stock, and the spot was not enough, otherwise it could have sold more.
Lei Jun's hunger marketing and cheap route also started from this battle. Every three or five days, it is reported that the software is sold out, and consumers across the country are asked to wait patiently, and the more they need to wait, the more willing consumers are to buy genuine copies. Even some dealers hoarded and did not sell the goods, taking the opportunity to quietly increase the price.
The domestic software industry is surprisingly unanimous in scolding Lei Jun's behavior. Originally, everyone's genuine software can't sell much, what the hell is your Lei Jun selling at a four-fold discount? Disrupt the market!
"I have more than 10 million spare money in my hand, how about investing 12 million?" Song Weiyang could only put the plan to renovate the courtyard on hold for the time being.
Qiu Bojun said: "No problem, I'll discuss it with Zhang Xuanlong and Lei Jun to see how many shares I should give you." ”
Song Weiyang comforted: "Steady, don't be discouraged, it will slowly get better." ”
"Boss Song, thank you, otherwise Jinshan will definitely be yellow, and no one is willing to invest at all. Qiu Bojun said from the bottom of his heart.
Song Weiyang came up with an idea and said: "Let Xishanju develop an online game." ”
Qiu Bojun said: "MUD?"
"You know Ultima Online, right?" Mr. Song said.
"I know, it's quite popular abroad," Qiu Bojun said, "but I'm afraid that China's Internet speed can't afford to drag it down, and it can make players crazy." ”
Song Weiyang said: "China's Internet speed is getting faster every year, and now let Xishanju develop the game, and wait for a year and a half to develop it, and then the domestic Internet speed will be enough." ”
In fact, it won't take a year to wait for "Network Genesis" (private server) to land in China in half a year, and it will quickly become popular all over the country. In more than a year, the 3D online game "King of Kings" developed by Wanwan will also be launched, becoming the undisputed king of online games that year.
Qiu Bojun was quite skeptical and said: "We haven't done online games either, can this thing make money?"
"Just try it. Song Weiyang said with a smile.
Qiu Bojun said: "I'll have a meeting to discuss. ”
……
Back at the house in Pentagon, Doudou is doing his summer homework. Seeing Song Weiyang enter the house, she immediately threw away her homework book and said excitedly: "Uncle, you're finally back, I'm so bored these days, hurry up and play "Warcraft" online with me." ”
Song Weiyang pointed to the homework book on the coffee table and said with a smile: "I just wanted to praise you for your love of learning, why did you suddenly reveal your original form?"
"I know all these assignments, and it's not interesting to write. Especially in the Chinese homework, I was actually asked to copy new words, which were all new words that I learned last semester. Doudou threw the pot to the teacher, not because she didn't like to study, but because the homework assigned by the teacher was not level.
Song Weiyang asked, "Where is your aunt?"
"At work, their magazine only has ten days off for the New Year, and they can't go back to their hometown until the 28th of the lunar month," Doudou said suddenly and mysteriously, "Yesterday my mother took me to dinner and met an uncle, who must have been the stepfather she found for me." ”
Song Weiyang said: "It's normal for your mother to remarry, she can't live alone all the time." You are also a junior high school student, not a child, and you should understand her difficulties. ”
"I just feel awkward. Doudou pouted.
Song Weiyang asked, "What is your impression of that uncle?"
Doudou said: "It's okay, barely, I don't like it very much, but I don't hate it either." He bought me ice cream and toys and bought me a lot of clothes, definitely trying to please me. ”
Song Weiyang said: "It shows that he is not bad to you, and he is not a miser." ”
Doudou said: "It is often played in TV dramas, as long as my mother and stepfather have children, they will not be good to me." Hmph, I'm not going to fall for them!"
"Haha, you're not very old, and you have a lot of eyes. Song Weiyang said with a smile.
Doudou suddenly said, "Uncle, why don't you come and be my stepfather." ”
"Ahem......" Song Weiyang choked on his saliva by these words, and couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm your uncle!"
"I just think you're good. Doudou leaned crookedly on Song Weiyang, his little head tilted, his eyes staring at the ceiling and not knowing what he was thinking.
