Chapter 69 10,000 Household Capital
Faced with such an unexpected emergency, Takahashi was also a little surprised.
With the grand game of "Legend", it is like a tiger with wings, and its decision-maker, Chen Tianqiao, is also an out-and-out talent.
But compared to the grand game of still a rookie, Wanhu still has many advantages, such as first-mover advantage, such as being richer.
Takahashi also has no intention of fighting with Shanda Games, let alone the idea of acquiring Shanda Games.
If you play in the ring, it will drag down the development of other businesses of Wanhu, and at the same time, it is also a bit of a feeling of killing chickens with a knife, and the acquisition of Shanda Games is also facing a problem, that is, the operation style of Shanda Games, which does not like to create a reputation like Wanhu, but likes to make quick money.
Players in Shanda Games are like hens that will be killed by Shanda until they don't play Shanda.
I don't want to do either option, and the third option is to invest in Shanda Games.
Don't look at Shanda Games is the first profitable Chinese Internet company, but it is still very short of money and needs financing channels very much.
Traditional commercial banks are reluctant to invest in Internet companies. Other organizations and individuals who are optimistic about Internet companies have no money.
As a result, Takahashi ordered the Mando Group to establish a new subsidiary called Manho Capital, and the scope of operation of this subsidiary is to invest in various enterprises. And its first battle is to invest in Shanda Games.
Start-up entrepreneurs often encounter the problem of knowing that their company has unlimited prospects, but they are unable to expand their operations due to lack of money.
On the other hand, competitors are still eyeing you, and if you develop slowly, he will want to swallow you in one bite.
Therefore, although we know that the company has unlimited prospects, we have to look for investment.
The first dynasty in the video game industry, the Atari dynasty, was valued by Time Warner during the expansion period, and gradually stole the business operation rights of the founding team, which finally turned Atari, a company that grew from five hundred dollars to five million dollars a year, into a sinner in the history of American video games.
Wanhu Capital, which had just been established, found Chen Tianqiao and proposed to invest in Shanda Games.
Although Shanda Games is in dire need of funds to expand, there is a folk saying that it is not a business to go on the pole.
Wanhu Capital has actually fallen into disadvantage when it finds Chen Tianqiao, and Chen Tianqiao takes the opportunity to raise the asking price of Shanda Games.
Investing in this matter is actually similar to buying groceries. It's the money that comes out, it's the shares that are bought, and the bargain is willing. If you like, you can also wrap some shallots.
However, unexpectedly, Wanhu Capital did not bargain as Chen Tianqiao thought, but directly gave a set of figures, 10 million US dollars, 25% of the shares, and did not interfere with daily operations.
After that, there was no sound.
While the choice was placed on Chen Tianqiao, the pressure was also placed on him.
Although the 10 million US dollars are settled in RMB, it is quite a lot, and it is about 100 million when converted into RMB.
Although the point card fee of "Legend" can also have a cash flow of millions a month. But there is almost nothing left of this cash, except for renting servers and promoting channels.
And now there are other Internet companies that have begun to imitate Shanda's point card system.
Compared with the game "Legend" itself, Chen Tianqiao is more concerned about this point card system with Internet cafes as the reference point.
Because this symbolizes a paid channel, with this set of channels, not only can there be a "Legend", but also can keep copying "Legend".
Even, if other game companies want to play online games, they must also use Shanda's point card promotion system, and Shanda Games can directly rely on this point card system for commissions.
Players buy ten yuan to point cards, remove 40% of the various channels, Shanda Games itself can also divide 30% at the lowest, and the money that falls into the hands of game operators will only be roughly 2 or 30%.
"Just agree......" After a few days of thinking, Chen Tianqiao decided to agree.
The reason why he agreed was because the 10,000 households that owned "Stone Age" also had an Internet café point card promotion system, but because of the lower share, the popularity was not as good as the grand point card.
However, recently, there has been news from point card channel providers to Chen Tianqiao's ears, it is said that 10,000 households want to increase the channel share and vigorously promote 10,000 point cards.
Chen Tianqiao thought that if he wanted to give himself 10 million US dollars to lay a point card system for 10,000 households, it was estimated that there would be no room for his own grand point card survival, and even the active users of "Legend" would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, he finally agreed to the investment of Wanhu Capital.
The news that 10,000 households had bought 250,000 percent of the shares with a capital of $10 million immediately appeared in China's major news media.
Although the investment is not large compared to Silicon Valley in the United States, it is the largest Internet investment in China.
Moreover, this also means that Wanhu Capital believes that the overall valuation of Shanda Games has reached 40 million US dollars, that is, more than 300 million yuan.
With only one grand game of Legends, how can He De have such a high valuation?
Some media praised the spirit of Wanhu Capital for daring to be the first in the world, while others began to criticize Wanhu.
Wanhu Capital does not attach importance to praise and criticism, and the investment of 10 million US dollars is like a heavy punch, which has caused a sensation in the entire Chinese Internet industry.
Such a high-profile investment in Shanda Games by Wanhu is also a telling these Internet companies in China that if they want to find money, they can come to Wanhu Capital.
Sure enough, just a few days after the news came out, various Internet companies began to find Wanhu Capital.
For a time, Wanhu Capital has become a hot topic of discussion in the entire Chinese Internet circle.
And Wanhu Capital also does not refuse, basically as long as the company comes, more or less can get some venture capital. Even the necessary investigations can be completed after the fact.
At this moment, Wanhu Capital was labeled as "stupid, rich and quick", and Wanhu Capital was also happy to be this "wronged leader".
In China's Internet circle, when only Shanda Games is profitable, many Internet companies regard Wanhu Capital as the fastest means of making profits.
The people of Wanhu Capital also have a headache, and they have alcohol poisoning that they have to drink every day when they drink Moutai.
They also wonder why their big boss is throwing money like this, is it really too much money to spend?
As for Takahashi's idea, it is very simple, according to the speed of development of China's Internet, he will soon be able to make a profit, and he will definitely not lose.
Of course, it would be a bit silly to look at others.
