Chapter 490: Shanda Network

Chen Tianqiao is a very awesome person, he fell in love with the Korean game "Legend" at a glance, and wanted to get the agency rights in China, but the investor behind it, China.com, did not agree, and the two sides had disagreements. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In 1999, Chen Tianqiao received an investment of $3 million from China.com and established Shanda Network. But this time, he resolutely insisted on his opinion, and China.com withdrew the company's shares and parted ways with it. In 2001, Chen Tianqiao decided to "gamble" on life and death. He took over the rights to Legend from Actoz South Korea for the remaining $300,000. At this moment, Shanda Network can be said to be exhausted, and there is no money to rent servers and buy broadband...... Chen Tianqiao had no choice but to look for partners and support everywhere. However, there are no well-known online games in China, regardless of the industry, Chen Tianqiao can only repeatedly hit a wall and return disappointed!

At the end of the mountain, Chen Tianqiao in his previous life was forced to be helpless and staged a super classic empty glove white wolf, thus bringing the whole game of chess to life, "Legend" became popular, and at the same time created his own "legend"!!!

Yes, he became a legend in his own right!

In his previous life, Chen Tianqiao's set of empty gloves and white wolf techniques began to make people talk about it. This year, after the game contract was signed, he needed a lot of servers, but he didn't have the money to buy them. In such a difficult predicament, he did not flinch, but took this paper to "international contracts" with Korean merchants, knocking on the door of server manufacturers such as Inspur and Dell.

When everyone questioned this customer who came empty-handed, he took out this "international contract" and told them quite imposingly: "We are going to run a Korean game, and I applied to try the machine for two months." The server vendor took the contract and saw that it was indeed an international formal contract, and this young man convinced them and let them see the potential strength, so they agreed. With the momentum of an international contract, he got a server worth millions. But even then, he lacks broadband support. So, he picked up the cooperation agreement with Inspur and Dell, these server manufacturers, and came to China Telecom.

He still said to the staff of China Telecom with great momentum: "I want to run the Korean game, Inspur and Dell provide me with servers, we need a lot of bandwidth to operate the game, please provide us with a free broadband trial during the test period." When China Telecom saw that Inspur and Dell had signed a contract with him for a free trial server, they concluded that this young man had a lot of potential to be tapped, so they also fulfilled him and provided him with a free broadband trial.

In this way, relying on the majestic momentum brought by the two contracts, the basic equipment was perfected, so his game test ran smoothly, and after the game test, it was very well received. Nearly two months later, his game began to be charged. After just another month, his investment was fully recouped and he had received a huge return!

It is now April 2001, Chen Tianqiao has not yet embarked on this "dead end", and is still seeking the support of venture capital......

"Mr. Williams, since you are so optimistic about Legend, do you plan to let ICQ invest in Shanda Network?" asked Ma Huateng.

"That's right, Chen Tianqiao and Shanda Network are in the most difficult moment, I hope ICQ can acquire Shanda Network, and at least get 75% of the shares!" Henry said in a solemn voice, "Ma Huateng, this matter will be left to you, you must do it!"

"Rest assured, Mr. Williams, I promise to complete your assignment!"

"Well, that's good!" Henry nodded.

In 2004, 2004 was the super year of China's Internet, and 11 Internet companies such as Tencent, Tom, and Airnet landed in the overseas capital market in this year. However, the influence of the other 10 IPO companies combined is not as good as that of another company listed in the same year, Shanda! It was the Chinese concept stock company with the highest market capitalization at that time and the game company with the highest market capitalization in the world. The 31-year-old, self-made richest man in China, this record is not only unprecedented, but also probably unprecedented!

Shanda Games, a subsidiary of Shanda Network, has since become the hegemon of China's game industry, and then Shanda Network has launched the "Internet Disney" program, which has carefully built the seven original stations of Shanda Network, including the starting point, Red Sleeve Tianxiang Network, Romance Novel Bar, Jinjiang Literature City, Under the Banyan Tree, **********, Xiaoxiang Academy, and Tianfang Listening Book Network Heyue. In addition, it has three book planning and publishing companies.

Sheng's dominance in the industry even surpasses that of Shanda Games at its peak, and its influence is unparalleled for a while!

Chen Tianqiao is still quite talented!

After Ma Huateng got the order, he immediately went to Shanghai to meet Chen Tianqiao.

Watching Ma Huateng leave, Henry couldn't help but feel funny, the two rivals in the game world in his previous life were going to sit together in this life, and they would have to work for themselves in the future.

……

In the afternoon of the next day, Ma Huateng came to Shanghai.

"Hello, Mr. Ma, you are very welcome!" Chen Tianqiao couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and looked at each other.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!" Ma Huateng walked into Shanda Network Company and looked around, but saw that there were only about a dozen employees who had lost here, which was very shabby!

"Mr. Ma, please take a seat, what do you want to drink? water or coffee?"

"Plain water is fine!"

Chen Tianqiao's wife Luo Qianqian immediately poured two glasses of water, Luo Qianqian is beautiful and capable, is Chen Tianqiao's virtuous helper, but also Shanda's director, as the vice president.

"Mr. Chen, it is said that Shanda Network is looking for financial support everywhere?!"

"Yes!" Chen Tianqiao nodded in acknowledgement.

"ICQ is more interested in Shanda and is willing to invest in you!" Ma Huateng took a sip of water and said, "Based on the current situation of your company, it seems that there is nothing valuable other than owning the agency rights of the Korean game "Legend". As a result, ICQ plans to invest $10 million in Shanda Network and hold 80% of the shares. After signing the contract, ICQ will comprehensively promote "Legend", import a lot of traffic, and strive to become an instant hit!"

Chen Tianqiao and Luo Qianqian looked at each other, the conditions were very good, but in this way, the control of the entire company was ICQ's......

"Mr. Ma, we can accept $5 million and let ICQ hold 40%!" Chen Tianqiao said.

Ma Huateng laughed, "ICQ's original intention was to acquire Shanda Network, and the reason why I left you 20% is mainly because you are the entrepreneurial team of Shanda Company. I think that $10 million for 80% equity is not too much, and you should also know very well what the future of Shanda Network will be with the support of ICQ?

Mr. Chen, there is such a good opportunity right now, once you miss it, you will regret it, you have to think about it carefully!!"
