Chapter 170 Sina acquires UC

July 16 is the second day of the Legends 2 Open Beta!

But on this day, a hot news took over all the news media pages!

Sina wholly acquired Longma at an agreed price of US$8 million!!

After the completion of the acquisition, Longma merged all of its businesses into Sina, including UC!

This is definitely sensational news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Many people were shocked and caught off guard, because the two families had not revealed any news or tone before.

However, what is more shocking than the sudden news of the acquisition is that Sina's purchase price of eight million US dollars.

How can it be so low?

UC has 30 million registered users, which is only three times worse than QQ.

QQ, as the core business of WeChat, was valued at $448 million and raised $150 million a few months ago!

UC, which is the core business of Langma, only sold for a mere $8 million.

Such a comparison suddenly makes people feel that there is a big psychological gap.

In fact, not only many people think so, but Wang Wei from Guiyang Province and Yang City also feels heartache and regret.

Once upon a time, he also fantasized that reaching the height of QQ today is popular with capital, with a valuation of more than hundreds of millions of dollars!

But it turned out that all this was just fantasy.

The decision to sell Langma was not made by him alone, but by the unanimous agreement of the company's five founders.

This was not a hasty decision, but a helpless move made by the five of them after careful consideration.

The current UC is far from being as beautiful as it seems, and now the decline in front of QQ has become more and more obvious.

With the purchase of VoIP voice technology from the Swedish GIPS company, UC's advantage in front of QQ is only the same city chat room.

It lost the unsparing support of Wang Zhi, the former chairman of Sina.

Mao Daolin, the current head of Sina, asked to see the dawn of UC's money within three months, otherwise he would take back the resources poured into UC.

The same city chat room is one of the resources that Sina has poured into UC.

If they lose the chat room in the same city, Wang Wei and several founders dare not imagine what UC will do to attract users.

As for making money, it's easier said than done.

So, while UC still has some value now, it's better to sell it.

This is not a rapid retreat, but an unavoidable choice, if he can, of course Wang Wei does not want to do this, but sometimes he has to bow to reality.

sold UC, and Wang Wei also staged a myth of getting rich on the Internet.

He used to only be able to afford the Volkswagen, but now he can buy a Bentley!

After Langma merged into Sina, Wang Wei did not abandon UC, but became a senior employee of Sina, although UC is no longer his, but the management and operation rights are still in his hands.

For Wang Wei, with the merger of Langma into Sina, there is no need to continue to tie his hands and feet, and he can get rid of it.

Although there is a big gap between UC and QQ at present, Wang Wei still believes that there is still suspense about the outcome of the game, and it is difficult to say who will die in the end.

Wang Wei does not believe that QQ can continue to be strong in the field of instant messaging, and it will definitely show its decline one day.

After UC merged into Sina, Wang Wei decided to slow down, and the top priority was no longer to develop users, nor to make money, but to innovate more!

The discussion of the outside world did not subside, and even burned the fire to Weixi.

began to use scrutinizing eyes to wonder if Weixin was really worthy of the $448 million valuation, after all, UC, which was three times worse, only sold for $8 million!

Su Wen didn't bother to pay attention to the gossip of the outside world at all, almost all of his attention now is focused on "Legend 2".

On the second day of the open beta of "Legend 2", the number of people who have logged into the game has reached 280,000!

The highest number of real-time online users has also successfully exceeded 50,000!

On the 17th, this number went one step further, and the number of people who had logged into the game exceeded 420,000.

Among them, more than 410,000 have been online for more than an hour!

The voice of online shopping hero posts is still endless, and in order to calm down this voice, Weixin specially issued an announcement.

On July 22, "Legend 2" will be open to everyone and enter trial operation.

Many people in the company have persuaded Su Wen that after the public beta, he will directly and officially operate "Legend 2", and there is no need to do a trial operation again.

But Su Wen has his concerns, and the change from free to paid is a difficult change.

If it goes online directly after the open beta and charges players, many players who have never even experienced the game may be scared away.

For players, online games are a way to get rid of the usual reality, and players will only be willing to pay if they find fun on the Internet.

Therefore, this trial operation must be implemented!

After announcing the date of the trial operation of "Legend 2", the voices of the hero post are indeed much less.

After all, there are only a few days left until the 22nd.

Except for some users who are really anxious, they are afraid that when the trial operation of "Legend 2" is launched, the level will be stretched too far, and they are still tirelessly seeking hero posts.

More people are waiting patiently.

The trial operation date was announced, and the work of Weixin is still very busy.

The legendary trading website is also in the process of being prepared.

At the same time, preparations for the launch of the portal are nearing completion.

For this portal, Su Wen specially asked people to find Sun Zhonghuai, who had served as the editor-in-chief of content in Wangyi and TOM Online, and asked him to serve as the editor-in-chief.

Although the portal era is coming to an end, portals must still be done.

Because this is the key to realizing one horizontal and one vertical entrance.

In addition to the entrance of QQ, there is also a portal as another entrance.

Of course, this is also one of the steps of Weixin to achieve a full-service model.

In the past two days, Su Wen also took the time to see Zhou Yuqiong after the operation.

Zhou Yuqiong is still living in the ICU, but she has come to her senses, and Li Shicheng has also gone in to see her twice.

Zhou Yuqiong is now relatively weak after the operation, and she can't eat, so she can only be instilled, and the worrying adverse reactions have not appeared, which is a lot more reassuring.

On July 18, the number of players logging into Legend 2 reached 480,000, and the highest number of real-time online users exceeded 53,000.

On July 19, the number of players logging into Legend 2 suddenly reached 510,000, and the highest number of real-time online users exceeded 56,000.

On July 20, the number of players logging into Legend 2 reached 530,000, and the highest number of real-time online users exceeded 58,000.

On July 21, the number of players logging into Legend 2 reached 540,000, and the highest number of real-time online users exceeded 61,000!

On July 22, "Legend 2", which has been in open beta for seven days, is ready to start trial operation!
