Chapter 278: Embankment alone
"Mr. Zhang, 17173 needs an additional investment of 10 million."
After being acquired by Sohu Company, 17173 Cai Zongjian found Zhang Chaoyang.
Over the past few days, 17173 has felt a little powerless for the competition to play more games.
They also want to launch new businesses, and they also want to keep their position as the 17173 gaming portal.
It's just that because after being acquired, the financial part was in the hands of Sohu, and Cai Zongjian had to find Zhang Chaoyang.
It's a pity that Zhang Chaoyang's mind was completely focused on the game at this time, and seeing Cha Zongjian coming over, Zhang Chaoyang said, "Manager Cai, there is no problem with the additional investment of 10 million, but in terms of time, you have to wait." ”
At this time, Zhang Chaoyang paid 50 million for the Paradise Agency fee, and added game servers and equipment in various aspects, and all of a sudden, Zhang Chaoyang almost mobilized 100 million funds. Although 10 million is not impossible, it is impossible for Zhang Chaoyang to approve it.
"Mr. Zhang, don't wait. Playing more games has relied on their guild area to beat us 17173. Now we reacted immediately, and it was in a hurry. But if you wait for a long time, I'm afraid you will really give you more opportunities to play. ”
"Okay, Manager Cai, I know, you go down first, I'll think about it."
Zhang Chaoyang didn't want to say more, waved his hand, and motioned for Cai Zongjian to go down.
"Mr. Zhang......"
Cai Zongjian, who wanted to say more, saw Zhang Chaoyang's appearance, and in the end, he could only shake his head and leave helplessly.
"Alas, Cai Zongjian, Cai Zongjian, it's not that I don't approve your funds, it's just that the company's cash flow is too tight now."
Zhang Chaoyang naturally found Cai Zongjian's disappointment, but at this moment, Zhang Chaoyang couldn't do anything. It's just that, without waiting for Zhang Chaoyang's side to sigh, Shi Li, the advertising president of Sohu Portal, and Jiang Tao, the COO of Sohu.com, came to the office together at the same time.
"You two, why do you seem to want to settle accounts with me?"
Looking at the appearance of the two, Zhang Chaoyang sighed.
Now everything is easy to discuss, but if you ask yourself for money, you really can't help it.
I have to say that Zhang Chaoyang's inner feeling is very correct, and Jiang Tao, the chief operating officer, was the first to say, "Mr. Zhang, Sina has recently launched a blog business, and it has great potential. We expect that in the future, this blog business will bring a huge IP flow to the portal like the email business. I think we should launch a blogging business as well. ”
"Blogging."
Speaking of blogging, Zhang Chaoyang is even more helpless.
Before they won the game of heaven, Zhang Chaoyang knew that Wang Zhidong had given up the game and was about to start a blog.
At that time, Zhang Chaoyang also despised Wang Zhidong, and he also thought in his heart to see how he started a blog.
As a result, after a period of time, Sina's blog has become popular in China, and countless celebrities and netizens have logged in to Sina and opened their blogs. There are even some TV media outlets that have joined in, pointing out that the birth of blogs has created a culture of blogging. And I believe that blog culture will lead the trend of domestic thought circles for a long time to come.
At the same time, they also pointed out that the innovation of the blog is to use the ideas of all netizens in the country.
Eventually, blogging brought these ideas together to create a blogging culture that would change China.
To be honest, Zhang Chaoyang was also very anxious when he saw the blog launched by Sina.
"Unexpectedly, Wang Zhidong really started this blog."
"No, Mr. Zhang, this is not Wang Zhidong's credit."
"Not Wang Zhidong?"
It is said that behind Wang Zhidong, Zhang Ning of Penguin Technology is helping him. Moreover, Sina's blog, Zhang Ning, also has half of the shares. ”
"No wonder."
Zhang Chaoyang nodded, although he hated Zhang Ning very much, he also had to admire Zhang Ning's ability on the Internet.
"Jiang Tao, I know what you mean, we also want to do a blog in Sohu. You are responsible for this business. ”
"Yes, Mr. Zhang."
Jiang Tao nodded, but he hesitated a little, "But, Mr. Zhang, I just talked to the finance side, and he said ......"
"Oh, oh, you're talking about funding."
This said, Zhang Chaoyang had another headache.
A blog may seem small, but to launch a business, it can be a lot of money.
"In this way, Jiang Tao, you first make the framework of the blog. Three months later, we'll launch it again. ”
"Ah, three months."
"yes, three months."
Helplessly, Zhang Chaoyang nodded a little awkwardly.
However, Zhang Chaoyang's embarrassment turned into more expectations for the game in his heart.
"Mr. Zhang, in three months, our Sohu blog will fall into greater passivity."
"I know, but, Jiang Tao, you also have to consider the current situation of the company."
"The current situation?"
Jiang Tao was a little depressed, of course he knew that Zhang Chaoyang had recently focused his work on the game.
However, he is only in charge of the website business, and he does not have any voting rights.
"Wait another three months, Jiang Tao, it only takes three months, you hold on?"
As long as Paradise is successfully operated, Sohu's cash flow will not be a problem.
"Mr. Zhang, I'll do my best."
After speaking, Jiang Tao turned around, but he took a few steps just now, turned his head again, and said, "Mr. Zhang, if I have the power, I really don't approve of our Sohu going to make games." ”
After speaking, Jiang Tao had already left the office. It's just that Jiang Tao left, but Shi Li on the other side still stayed in the office.
"What, Shi Li, do you also think that we shouldn't enter the game?"
"Nope."
Shi Li shook her head, "I don't think so, the company's decision to enter the game is right." ”
"It's just, Mr. Zhang, I think that our game still has to beware of one person."
"Who?"
"Zhang Ning."
"Why is it him again?"
Zhang Chaoyang frowned and said unhappily, "Let's play our own games, what can he Zhang Ning do to us?" ”
"Mr. Zhang, don't forget, our Sohu and Penguin Technology can be regarded as enemies."
"Enemy."
Zhang Chaoyang gritted his teeth, "Yes, we are indeed enemies. However, this little guy may not be able to do anything to me for the time being. Like, his search engine has never dared to block our Sohu information. ”
"But, Mr. Zhang, don't you think that the launch of playing more games and the birth of Sina Blog are also Zhang Ning's means to deal with our Sohu?"
"This ......"
Zhang Chaoyang was silent when he said this, and a cold sweat had already arisen behind him.
That's right, even if Zhang Ning doesn't use their most powerful products, he can also embarrass them in other aspects.
"Shi Li, what do you have a premonition?"
At this time, Zhang Chaoyang asked Shi Li seriously.
"I don't know, in my heart, I always feel. Our paradise may not be so smooth to launch. Moreover, as Zhang Ning, who is the No. 1 game in China, he probably doesn't want our paradise to be run smoothly. Even, even if it is operated, he may engage in some means on the way. ”
"I'm a little worried about that. Just, what will he do? ”
"I don't know."
Shi Li shook her head, fell into deep thought, and after a long time, she still shook her head, "I still can't think of it." ”
Similarly, Zhang Chaoyang, as the CEO of Sohu, has also been thinking about this problem.
What will this guy do to them Sohu?
