Chapter 159: Ethereal Journey Korea Closed Beta
Lin Beiren was originally a director of a world and securities company, and in the mid-90s, Lin Huairen saw the development of the world's Internet. Whether it is software represented by Microsoft or hardware represented by Intel, it has been sold extremely hot throughout the 90s. To this end, Lin Huairen resigned as a director, entered the IT ranks, and in 1994, established Pacific Computer City in Guangzhou.
Since the establishment of the company, computer sales have changed from the beginning of the door-to-door sales to the current customers themselves. The performance of each month is also very good. Especially in 2000, there was a wave of online games in China. All of a sudden, the number of young people buying computers has increased by two or three times compared to the past.
Although the computer city has a good effect, the Pacific Computer Network, which Lin Huairen founded as early as 1999, has not had much money to publicize, so that in the past two years, the influence of the Pacific Computer Network has only been limited to the Guangzhou generation, and it has not been able to enter the whole country. Seeing this situation, he, who is well aware of the operation of capital, has also been looking for venture capital companies recently.
He knew that if he wanted to bring Pacific Computer into the country, it would not work to open a computer city one by one. Not to mention that there is not enough funds, even if there are enough funds, some places are not open if you want to. Moreover, although the sales performance of the computer city is very fast, it is impossible to achieve a rapid increase in branches. So, he set his sights on the Internet. It is planned to use the Pacific Computer Network to connect the computer cities across the country and make a supercomputer chain store.
Unfortunately, although his idea is good, the architecture of Pacific Computer Network can be considered mature. If this development continues, as long as there is financial support, I believe that it will not take a few years to dominate the whole country. However, if the website wants to develop, the most important thing is not creativity, but promotion. And the most important thing in website promotion is money.
At this time, the bottomless gold-absorbing surname of the Internet was finally embodied. Lin Beiren's little money is simply not enough to support such a large website.
He looked for venture capitalists, but venture capitalists were not interested in investment websites. Just say to him, you have spent so much money, it is better to represent an online game. There are those millions, and an online game has already been opened. Look at the website again, it cost the same amount of money, but the effect achieved is only a little bit. Let's ask, these venture capital companies will invest in, and then there will be ghosts.
After a series of blows, Lin Beiren slowly became a little disappointed. Later, I thought about it, forget it, with my own funds now, I can do a good job in the Pacific Computer City in Guangzhou, and in a few years, I can open a few more branches in Guangzhou. But at this moment, Lin Huairen saw a news about Tang Dynasty venture capital.
"Tang Dynasty Venture Capital."
About Tang Dynasty Company, Lin Huairen has long known about it. For this company, he still admires it. Moreover, judging from his research in the securities industry, as long as Tang Dynasty Company is listed in the United States, it will definitely be able to surpass portals such as Xin, Lang, and NetEase in one fell swoop. However, depending on the situation, Tang Dynasty Company seems to have a good capital chain and does not want to go public so soon.
"I wonder what Tang Dynasty Venture Capital will think of Pacific Computer Network?"
Tang Dynasty Venture Capital's investment projects are for domestic and foreign high-tech companies. In particular, Internet-related companies are the focus of investment for Tang Dynasty Venture Capital. I still have the idea of this website, and I also have a certain scale, so I need funds to expand him. If the Tang Dynasty venture capital can invest, then its own Pacific computer will definitely be able to occupy the whole country in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Lin Huairen was a little anxious.
The previous calmness was completely because he had no choice, so he had to be calm. But now that there was hope, he was a little anxious. Hurriedly put pen to paper to make the planning of the Pacific Computer Network completely. Because, he is afraid that if he doesn't act again, another opponent, Zhongguancun, will be on the line, and he will have to take a step ahead of himself to seize this market. Moreover, Zhongguancun Online has better conditions than its own, and has more electronic product resources, as long as they have the funds to smash into this market, Pacific Computer Network can almost look at it.
Everything is ready.
Lin Huairen took the written website plan and came to Linchuan non-stop.
It's just that when he came to Tang Dynasty Venture Capital, there was a rejection of the application. The reason is that Tang Dynasty venture capital has begun to contact another company with more potential. This company, Tang Dynasty Venture Capital, did not explain, but Lin Huairen also knew that there was basically no other company except Zhongguancun Online. Unexpectedly, I was still a step slower.
Just when Lin Huairen was about to leave Tang Dynasty Venture Capital, he didn't want to, and met a young man halfway. The young man asked Lin Huairen if he was rejected by Tang Dynasty Venture Capital, and he was disappointed. Lin Huairen didn't want to pay attention to this person at first, but he was just having bitter water in his stomach, and he was trying to find someone to talk to. This young man is not very old, but he seems to have some understanding of this. So, Lin Huairen told this person what happened just now.
Unexpectedly, after separating from this person, the staff of Tang Dynasty Venture Capital found themselves again.
...... "Mr. Liu, why did you give up the investment of Pacific Computer Network?" ”
Chen Jiayi didn't believe Liu Sichen's vision, but he was a little strange, why didn't he invest in such a good website. Tang Dynasty Venture Capital is not like some domestic investment companies, which only look at the immediate profits, and do not focus on the future.
"Mr. Chen, recently we have started to do a survey of the entire domestic IT market. We found that Zhongguancun Online has more potential than Pacific Computer Network. So, we turned down the business. ”
"Oh, that's it."
I almost forgot about Zhongguancun Online.
If you compare, Zhongguancun Online really has an advantage over the Pacific Ocean. Whether it is IT products, company size, or the direction of the website, it is no wonder that Liu Sichen will prefer Zhongguancun. However, Zhongguancun in later generations only stayed on the IT product portal. However, the Pacific Computer Network is based on the computer network, and has taken the opportunity to develop the Pacific Mobile Phone Network, the Pacific Automobile Network, the Pacific Game Network, and so on. It can be said that the Pacific series of companies are larger and broader than Zhongguancun, and have more investment value. Moreover, now that the Pacific Ocean is one step slower than Zhongguancun's development, it is easiest to exchange the least investment for the maximum return.
Of course, what will happen to the Pacific in the future, how will Liu Sichen know.
After thinking about it, Chen Jiayi said, "Mr. Liu, although that Zhongguancun Online is good, it is already a company with some strength. Even if we participated, we wouldn't have much of a stake. Probably, the price paid for cooperation is much higher. It is better to invest in this Pacific computer network and return a larger return with a smaller investment. What's more, didn't this Lin Huairen also write behind his plan with ideas such as Pacific Automobile and Pacific Mobile Phone, although these websites did not make it, but we can also see it from it. Lin Huairen's strategy for the future seems to be higher than that of Zhongguancun......"
Hearing Chen Jiayi's explanation, Liu Sichen nodded and expressed his approval.
In fact, Zhongguancun and the Pacific Ocean have their own advantages, and the reason why Liu Sichen rejected the Pacific Ocean at that time was entirely because people on his side had begun to contact Zhongguancun. Now, judging from Chen Jiayi's analysis, this investment may not be a good investment. If you buy at most one potential stock, the return will not be great. However, if you invest in the Pacific, you are investing in the original stocks. In the future, as soon as it is listed, I don't know how many times it will be doubled.
However, she also felt a little depressed, how could her boss see every piece so thoroughly?
Seeing that Liu Sichen understood, Chen Jiayi did not stay in Tang Dynasty Venture Capital anymore. Just now, Tang Dynasty Network sent a message, saying that the Ethereal Journey will be held in South Korea tomorrow. For this reason, Chen Jiayi rushed to the Tang Dynasty network.
"Mr. Gu, tell me about the situation on the Korean side."
Since the agency of the ethereal trip to South Korea, in the past few months, the ethereal journey has also received crazy publicity in South Korea. Due to the cultural similarity between the two countries, coupled with the ethereal journey, it can kill all 2D online games in South Korea. As a result, Journey Ethereal has become a hot online game since the first day it appeared in South Korea. Ranking on the expectation list, it has always maintained the advantage of being the first. Moreover, this advantage is still very obvious, more than 100,000 votes than the second place.
It seems that Tang Dynasty Network has become a very good game company in the hearts of Korean people. Just like Blizzard's game, the game hasn't come out yet, but just a news has been released, which has made many Korean players look forward to it. It's the same with the ethereal journey now. The closed beta has not yet started, and it has attracted a bunch of Korean game fans after just a few advertisements. Coupled with the recent open beta of the Ethereal Journey in China, a series of game videos have been transmitted back to South Korea, which has made Korean gamers even more crazy.
They had never seen such a great online game.
The rich mission system, the exciting tribulation levels, and the supreme temptation of Edgeworth's flight. Every feature is incomparably attractive to them. It can be said that in the hearts of Koreans, the ethereal journey has simply ushered in a new era of 2D online games. A 2D online game can achieve so much gameplay.
You know, these gameplay methods have never appeared in a large number of single-player games.
"Our Ethereal Journey has been very popular with Korean players since we entered Korea 2 months ago. Now the publicity work before the closed beta is almost complete. In fact, many times, it is Korean players who spontaneously promote the ethereal journey. At this time, the Korean agency also launched the time of open surname internal testing. ”
Because Ethereal Journey is a mature online game, it has been tested in China for more than two months, and a lot of bugs have been basically fixed. simply open the surname internal test and pull more fans over.
"But they are wise."
N-Logsof is just a small game company that doesn't have much of a presence in South Korea. Now that I have an ethereal journey, I don't want to launch it quickly. Just like the Nine Cities of the later generations, it was originally just a small game company. Relying on the agency of a World of Warcraft, it has become a large-scale network company with Shanda in a leap.
Chen Jia smiled, judging from the current Korean game market, it belongs to the era of online games and the Warring States Period. If N-Logsof doesn't show its edge at this time, I'm afraid it will be destroyed by other game manufacturers. You know, there are several very large game companies in South Korea. And their R&D capabilities are also world-class.
