Chapter 143: Taking over Shanda
"Chen Dong, this is my girlfriend Xiao Yuqing."
In a quiet café not far from ChinaJoy's showroom, Li Haoyu introduced Xiao Yuqing to Chen Tianqiao.
Xiao Yuqing took off the toad mirror, and stretched out her hand and said: "Chen Dong, I've heard of the big name for a long time, I used to play Bubble Hall for a while, and this game is very fun." ”
Chen Tianqiao saw Xiao Yuqing's true face, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and he quickly regained his calm, shook hands with Xiao Yuqing and said, "Miss Xiao is so beautiful and fragrant, Li Dong is really a blessing." ”
Li Haoyu's heart couldn't help but feel proud, making Xiao Yuqing fall in love is the proudest thing in his life, compared to the creation of a mythical company, it is slightly inferior.
Xiao Yuqing smiled and said, "Dong Chen, you have a good reputation." ”
"I don't know what kind of advice did you have from us, Dong Chen?" Li Haoyu asked straight to the point.
Chen Tianqiao didn't answer directly, but asked: "I don't know what Dong Li thinks of Shanda Network?" ”
Li Haoyu couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Chen Tianqiao was selling, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "Chen Dong, with all due respect, the stall of Shanda Network is a little too big, so that I want to do everything on the Internet, but I don't do everything at the top. ”
After all, he was not familiar with Chen Tianqiao, so Li Haoyu did not explicitly say Shanda's current predicament, but just tactfully clicked it.
Chen Tianqiao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Dong Li, I guess you can also see that Shanda Network is now quite hard to support, if there is no fresh blood injection to change the dull Shanda, it is estimated that there will be no Shanda company on the Internet in Huaxia in a few years." ”
Li Haoyu laughed dryly and said, "Chen Dong, you are serious, although Shanda has a little difficulty now, I believe that with Chen Dong, your great talent will definitely be able to lead Shanda to read this difficulty." ”
Chen Tianqiao shook his head, "Dong Li, no one knows better than me what Shanda Company is doing at the moment, I asked you out this time just to discuss with you how to bring Shanda back to life." Dong Li, you are a leader in our Chinese game industry, so I specially came to ask you Dong Li for advice. ”
Li Haoyu hurriedly said: "Dong Chen, don't dare to ask for advice, we just discuss with each other." Chen Dong, you are a well-known marketing genius in our Huaxia, and I will ask you to give me more guidance when the time comes. ”
Chen Tianqiao waved his hand, "Dong Li, let's not talk about this nonsense, although my grand stall is indeed a little big, but why is Tencent's stall bigger than Shanda without a trace of weakness?" ”
Li Haoyu has been studying these problems for a long time, and there are also many netizens on the Internet who have explained, "Chen Dong, Tencent's stall is big because he has this confidence, QQ and WeChat, the two communication software that are almost monopolized in China, have brought countless profits to Tencent and at the same time brought them a huge user base." To put it mildly, as long as Tencent's QQ and WeChat have no rivals in instant messaging software and still monopolize the instant messaging field in Huaxia, then Tencent will not have such a situation as Shanda even if it expands to all aspects of the Internet. ”
Chen Tianqiao asked again: "Dong Li, if you are now the person in charge of Shanda Network, what kind of adjustments do you think should be made to make Shanda breathe?" ”
Li Haoyu was silent for a moment and said: "Give up the side details and go all out to develop the backbone!" ”
Chen Tianqiao was slightly moved and asked, "Dong Li, what do you mean by this?" ”
Li Haoyu explained: "It's very simple, there are many and complicated businesses now, such as the game department, Kuliu.com, Shanda Cloud, Shanda Literature led by Qidian Literature Network, Anzhi Market and Guoke Electronics. Among these businesses, Shanda should jump out of one business to focus on cultivating, and other businesses should either be sold or let these businesses be responsible for their own profits and losses, and Shanda should not be dragged back. ”
Chen Tianqiao pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Li Dong's insight has taught me. ”
Li Haoyu hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, I'm just a bystander." ”
Chen Tianqiao sighed, took a sip of coffee, and said with a lonely expression: "I have always thought that I am extremely smart, and I like to use side doors to achieve success, and I think that all the decisions I make are correct...... Hey, if I weren't so arrogant, maybe the current grand would be a different look. ”
Xiao Yuqing, who had been listening, said at this time: "Chen Dong, don't blame yourself too much, if it weren't for your wisdom and decisiveness, there would be no Shanda, an enterprise with a very high influence in China, now." ”
Chen Tianqiao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Miss Xiao, don't come to comfort me, Shanda has come to this step, and the culprit is myself!" He seemed to be in some kind of difficult mood, very depressed, and looked very painful.
Li Haoyu and Xiao Yuqing glanced at each other, they didn't expect that Chen Tianqiao, who had always been shrewd, would suddenly lose control of his emotions today, and he didn't know what to say for a while, only a few words of comfort that were not salty or light.
Chen Tianqiao has been in the shopping mall for so many years, his self-control is extremely strong, and his emotions returned to normal after a few minutes of being out of control, and he said apologetically: "Dong Li, Miss Xiao, I lost control of my emotions just now, which made you laugh." ”
Xiao Yuqing said: "Chen Dong said with a smile, the current society makes each of us walk on thin ice all the time, and it is normal to be under pressure, not to mention that Chen Dong, as the person in charge of a company, the pressure is even greater." Haoyu and I understand very well. ”
Chen Tianqiao sighed lightly, smiled bitterly, and suddenly said after a while: "Li Dong, I don't know if you have the intention to take over Shanda?" ”
What the?
Li Haoyu and Xiao Yuqing's eyes widened at the same time, and they looked at Chen Tianqiao in disbelief.
Chen Tianqiao can't be confused, right?
"Dong Li, Miss Xiao, please don't doubt what I said just now, I asked Dong Li to take over Shanda after careful consideration," Chen Tianqiao looked at Li Haoyu calmly and said: "First of all, Dong Li, you are currently the most well-known figure in our Chinese game industry, and the mythical company you founded can become a miracle in the Chinese game industry, which shows that Li Dong You have a unique side to the production and operation of the game." Secondly, although Shanda has begun to decline, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is not an ordinary company that can take over. Li Dong, your family has a big business, and there is no financial pressure at all to take over Shanda, and after getting Shanda, you can quickly straighten out all the things of Shanda, so as to complement the Chinese Internet industry with Mythical Company. ”
Li Haoyu fell into deep thought.
"Dong Chen, I don't understand why you suddenly remembered to sell your hard work for so many years?" Faced with such a big thing, Li Haoyu had to be solemn.
Chen Tianqiao put one hand on the table, with a sad look in his eyes, "Dong Li, I can't hide it, I have no power to return to Shanda." I've also approached several investment companies to ask them to inject capital into Shanda, but they have all been rejected or the shares they have asked for are too outrageous, and I can't watch the Shanda that I have built up go bankrupt, right? ”
Li Haoyu's expression moved, and he suddenly remembered that there were recent rumors that Ma Yun's Alibaba intended to package and acquire Shanda, but Shanda has not responded, but Alibaba vetoed this rumor.
"Chen Dong, isn't it said that Shanda intended to sell to Alibaba? Is this rumor false? Li Haoyu asked cautiously.
Chen Tianqiao shook his head, "It's really untrue, that's the rumor I deliberately released when I was looking for those venture capital companies to invest, and I also guessed that Alibaba would never buy my Shanda, so I dared to make this decision." ”
"Why did you choose me?" Li Haoyu will never make a decision easily if he doesn't ask clearly.
"Because Li Dong, you have the ability and financial resources, and my requirements are not high, as long as you can keep the Shanda brand, I believe that there is absolutely no problem in doing this with Li Dong's ability." Chen Tianqiao said sincerely.
Li Haoyu pondered, his fingers rhythmically tapped on the table, making a "tuk-tuk" sound. Xiao Yuqing also knew that Li Haoyu was thinking about it, so she didn't bother him, and drank coffee quietly by herself.
Chen Tianqiao looked at the pensive Li Haoyu with a little nervousness, and he knew that the decision Li Haoyu was about to make had extraordinary significance for the entire Shanda, and it might affect the pattern of the Internet in China. Although Chen Tianqiao can also take advantage of the fact that Shanda is still worth some money, Shanda can be packaged or sold in batches, and the money obtained can definitely be enough for their family to spend the rest of their lives comfortably, but Chen Tianqiao is unwilling, he is not willing to let the Shanda he worked so hard to create go bankrupt, and the brand that he sold to others will disappear from the Huaxia Internet sooner or later.
So Chen Tianqiao had this idea after meeting Li Haoyu, and handed Shanda into the hands of this youngest and most powerful young man in the Chinese game industry.
Maybe he wanted to consider whether Li Haoyu was as powerful as rumored, Chen Tianqiao asked Li Haoyu in the coffee shop, and he was very satisfied, if Li Haoyu could take over Shanda, he would be absolutely assured!
"Dong Chen, I have thought about it repeatedly, I can take over Shanda, but it is only limited to the game department, and I am powerless to do the rest." This is the result of Li Haoyu's consideration, after taking over Shanda's game business, not only can he obtain a large number of experienced game operation talents and company management talents, but also rely on the games currently operating by Shanda to occupy the game market other than MMORPG games, laying the foundation for the expansion of Shinhwa.
Li Haoyu's rhetoric was not too unexpected by Chen Tianqiao, and he asked: "You are not willing to take over the grand literature Li Dong?" "Shanda Literature is not only a starting point, but also well-known literary sites such as Red Sleeves Fragrance, Under the Banyan Tree, Xiaoxiang Academy, and Novel Reading Network, and it can be said that nearly half of the online literature sites are in Shanda Literature.
Li Haoyu said categorically: "No, it's enough for me to already have a Zongheng literary network, and I don't have much energy to care about other literary websites at present." ”
