Chapter 459 - Divestment (Fifth Update)

As soon as the "Double 11" passed, Taobao announced the trading volume of the "Double 11" day at 0:00 on November 12.

The homepage of Taobao.

"In 2002, the annual sales of Suning Electric Appliances were more than 6 billion, and the total annual sales of eBay and Dangdang were 4.1 billion, adding up to more than 10 billion yuan. However, on the day of 'Double 11', Taobao only used 12 billion yuan in daily sales to break the total annual sales of the two companies in 2002!

It's a miracle, a myth that can't be replicated!

Taobao has established its position in China's e-commerce field with its own strength!!"

As soon as this sales data came out, it shocked the entire e-commerce industry.

In the hotel, Son stared blankly at the computer screen, his heart full of bitterness and powerlessness.

In the middle of the night, a chill rises.

Son Zhengyi picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed Li Guoqing's number.

"Mr. Li, I'm so disappointed in eBay Dangdang's website! I've decided, I'm going to withdraw my investment!"

As soon as Li Guoqing heard this, he suddenly became agitated and covered in a cold sweat.

"Mr. Sun, now is the most difficult time for the eBay Dangdang website, you must not withdraw your investment!" Li Guoqing pleaded. Once SoftBank, represented by Son, divested, eBay Dangdang is not far from bankruptcy.

"Mr. Li, I have given you many chances, but what is the result?" Sun Zhengyi said very dissatisfied, "The result is that the website is not as good as day by day, and users have gone to Taobao." Just now, Taobao announced the daily sales of the day of 'Double 11', hehe, presumably Mr. Li, you should also see this news! On this day alone, Taobao's sales reached 12 billion yuan, almost three times the annual sales of eBay Dangdang's website. โ€

Son Masayoshi paused and asked indifferently, "Tell me, what else can you take to make me believe in you!!"

When Li Guoqing heard this, he was speechless for a while.

"Doodoo ......"

By this time, Son had already hung up the phone.

Syllable!!!

Li Guoqing's mobile phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Li Guoqing himself fell on the sofa, staring at the white ceiling in a daze, and muttered a sentence in his mouth: "eBay is the end of the website......

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the next day, at the door of the Holiday Inn, SoftBank held a press conference, Son Masayoshi was shiny, dressed in a black suit, and advertised to media reporters with an expression, "After careful consideration, SoftBank has decided to withdraw from the eBay Dangdang website and completely abandon the Chinese e-commerce market!"

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar!

"Oh, isn't SoftBank very powerful? When I came to China to invest in the eBay Dangdang website, I swore that I wanted the eBay Dangdang website to develop into a Chinese e-commerce giant, so why did I become a turtle with a shrunken head?"

"It's no wonder that SoftBank and Masayoshi Son want to be turtles with shrunken heads, who makes Taobao too awesome, the daily sales of 'Double 11' are as high as 12 billion US dollars, which is simply terrifying!"

"This Japanese businessman is really indifferent and ruthless, and when the eBay website has no use value, it was immediately abandoned!"

"Well, who's to say it's not......"

No matter how rich the Japanese are, they will not be really good to Chinese enterprises, and Chinese enterprises should learn from them!"

Although businessmen are profit-seeking, they are still embarrassed to see that the eBay Dangdang website has been abandoned like this. โ€

"yes. โ€

Sun Zhengyi stood on the stage, he was not tall, his head was a little bald, but his ears were very good, hearing the voices of the people below, his face couldn't help but change, he couldn't help but hold back the anger in his heart, ignored the reporters' questions, and turned around and walked into the hotel.

eBay Dangdang has already received an official letter from SoftBank, and the company is bleak, knowing that SoftBank is going to withdraw its investment.

With the withdrawal of SoftBank, other investment companies will naturally follow suit, and the bankruptcy of eBay Dangdang's website is imminent.

Li Zetian, who was far away in the United States, heard the news, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately said to himself: "Although SoftBank has given up the eBay Dangdang website, with my understanding of Son Masayoshi, the huge Chinese market makes him salivate, and he will definitely not give up." No matter what Masayoshi Son and his SoftBank company want to do, they are angry! Money for Japanese companies to make money, it is better for me to make money......

Jingle bells, jingle bells!

At this moment, the phone rang.

Li Zetian looked at it, it was Blizzard CEO Mike Mohan calling.

Last year, South Korea's "Legend" swept through Chinese online games, leaving Flamingo in disgrace. Li Zetian thought about letting Blizzard develop "World of Warcraft".

"World of Warcraft" is the first online game produced by Blizzard Entertainment, with the plot of the company's real-time strategy game "Warcraft" as the historical background, relying on the historical events and heroes of Warcraft, World of Warcraft has a complete historical background timeline, players in the World of Warcraft adventure, complete tasks, new adventures, explore the unknown world, conquer monsters, etc.

There are more than 11.5 million paying users of World of Warcraft around the world, and it has successfully entered the Guinness Book of World Records, with a total of more than 100 million accounts created worldwide, 500 million characters, and people from 244 countries and regions playing World of Warcraft, including Antarctica, the Bahamas, Christmas Island, and Tokelau.

In terms of influence and ability to accumulate money, "Legend" is not the same as "World of Warcraft"!

At this point in time, Mike Mohan suddenly called, thinking that the world-class online game "World of Warcraft" had been developed.

"Hello, Mr. ยท Li, I'm Mike Mohan, CEO of Blizzard. โ€

"Hello, Mike Mohan," Li Zetian smiled and asked, "World of Warcraft has been successfully developed?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, it will be publicly tested in North America at the end of this month. โ€

"Very good, I'm looking forward to this game!Oh, by the way, keep an eye out for the Chinese version!and......"

Speaking of which, Li Zetian suddenly thought that in 2016, "World of Warcraft" was adapted into a movie and released, but the box office results were not ideal, not to mention the shooting problems, just that the movie was postponed to 2016, and the popularity of "World of Warcraft" has long been sharply reduced. The game is adapted into a movie, and it should also be at the time of the game's most popularity! "World of Warcraft" can become a world-class super IP, but the result is unbearable!

Because of this, Li Zetian suddenly thought of "StarCraft" again. "StarCraft" was still super popular in 2003, if you want to launch a movie and create a super IP, you must do it as soon as possible, and in a few years, the popularity will be gone.

The "lifespan" of a game is actually not long, and generally speaking, movies are easier to build into super IPs. Looking at the super IPs in the previous life, they are basically all popular all over the world because of movies.

"World of Warcraft" and "StarCraft" are both super classic games, first of all, they already have the basic conditions to become super IP, and it is worth mentioning that both games have rich stories as backgrounds, and the potential for IP development is huge!
