Looking at the three of them who were annoyed and surprised, Lin Zheng certainly wouldn't tell them, and yahoo! Similarly, at the beginning of eBay's establishment, the main investor was Angel Angel Investment, and Lin Zheng's approach was just to hide himself in the shadows, but in fact, this kind of transaction was still controlled.

But even if he didn't know this, Frankpearce was excited, and when he thought of ICQ's huge user base, the three of them even began to involuntarily reverie: maybe in a few years, they can not only do their favorite business, but also become millionaires, multimillionaires and even billionaires?

You can buy a house on the best coast, you can hang out with the top celebrities, and you can sleep with the most beautiful female celebrities...... That's what we want......

Looking at the three people who were excited and inexplicable, Lin Zheng quite understood them, anyone who had persisted for six or seven years but could only work hard to make ends meet, suddenly saw a large meat patty with a diameter of one kilometer falling from the sky, and it was about to fall on his head, it would not be much better than the reaction of these three guys, but this is also the motivation of ICQ to attract them to cooperate, isn't it?

In order to make them more motivated, Lin Zheng threw out another piece of "pie......

"In addition to what we just mentioned, there's another revenue, and that's advertising revenue."

"Huh? Advertising revenue? Can we still have advertising revenue? ”

Lin Zheng's words made the three of them even begin to doubt whether their IQ could keep up with Lin Zheng's thinking: a battle net for everyone to fight. Can there be advertising revenue too? Why can't we figure out how to make money through the platform Battle.net?

"Why can't there be ad revenue?" Faced with the doubts of the three of Frankpearce, Lin Zheng asked rhetorically: "If our platform can attract a sufficient number of users to log in every day." Is it attractive to those game manufacturers, electronic product manufacturers, personal computer manufacturers, and other companies that are more in line with us? ”

When he said this. Lin Zheng sounded the disgusting pop-up ads and waiting ads of those video sites in later generations, unless you become their member, you can only honestly wait for the long advertising time to get through second by second, I don't know how many people can't stand the ads of these video sites and choose to recharge to become a member, but this is exactly in the hands of video sites.

"It's definitely attractive!" Without waiting for Allenadham to speak, Vice President Mikemorhaime couldn't help it and said excitedly.

Although Allenadham and Frankpearce did not speak, their excitement was no worse than that of Mikemorhaime, and website advertising has become the main way for Internet companies to make money. But they never thought that after cooperating with ICQ, their Battle.net could also make money from advertising, but now with Lin Zheng's reminder, the three of them suddenly realized: That's right, as long as our Battle.net has enough traffic and users, why can't we make some money from advertising?

The three of them all understand that this piece of advertising income is extra fat out of thin air, and they dare not say that three or five hundred thousand dollars in a year should be easily earned, right? Thinking that this money was taken away by the parent company like this. Allenadham's heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: Why?

"Allen, are you feeling unwell?" The first to notice Allenadham's unbalanced face was Mikemorhaime, who asked him in a whisper.

"No," Allenadham shook his head slightly. Then he turned his head to Lin Zheng and said, "Mr. Lin, I suddenly remembered something I want to say to these two partners of mine......"

Lin Zheng immediately understood that Allenadham was having something more confidential about Blizzard that he needed to avoid. Nodding with a smile, he said happily: "I heard that Blizzard's dim sum is good?" ”

……………………

“allen。 What the hell is going on? Seeing Allenadham's ugly and scary face since he beat Lin Zheng and walked out, Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce were anxious.

"Nothing. Mike, Frank, what do you think of this collaboration? Allenadham shook his head to indicate that he was okay, and asked Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce in a whisper.

"What do you think?" Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce both looked dazed: "Of course it's a good thing for Blizzard." ”

"That's right, thinking about it this way, our company's net income next year is very likely to exceed 1 million." At the thought that the company's revenue will be at an all-time high next year, CTO Frankpearce can't help but smile with excitement: Who doesn't love money?

"That's right, there's a very good chance that our net income will exceed $1 million next year, no, it's not possible, it's definitely going to break $1 million, maybe there's a chance to break $2 million," Allenadham asked softly, "How much of this money is ours?" ”

How many are ours? Allenadham's words made Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce stunned in unison, and after a while, Frankpearce was the first to break the silence: "According to the agreement we have with us, the three of us own 10% of Blizzard's shares. ”

"Yes, 10%, which means that Blizzard has made so much money, and the three of us can only get about fifty or sixty thousand dollars from the nearly $2 million each, in addition to the normal salary and bonuses," Allenadham smiled bitterly, looked at his two partners, and asked softly, "Do you think this is fair?" ”

Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce hesitated, and Allenadham didn't say it, but after Allenadham said it, he thought about it carefully, and he did feel that it was careless and fair, but the problem was: "This ...... But this is the agreement we made before, what can we do? ”

These words are full of unwilling flavors.

"That's right, we made a deal with us, if it was before, even if we knew that most of the money would be taken away, but in order to keep our efforts, we could only endure it," Allenadham said softly, "but the current situation is not good, oh, to be precise, the situation of Cendant is not good......"

Since Blizzard was acquired by a dealer company in 1994 for $6.75 million, it has changed hands several times in the following years: first in 1995, it was acquired by Xueleshan Online, and in 1996, Xueleshan Online was acquired by CUC International;

In the first half of this year, the CUC merged with the hotel, real estate and car rental dealerships known as HPS to form a new group company, Cendant, which is now under the name of a subsidiary of the Cendant group of companies, and in this sense, Blizzard is a subsidiary of Cendant.

But the problem is that now the life of the Cendant group of companies is also very difficult, before the merger, the accounting fraud scandal of the CUC has begun to emerge, after the merger with HPS, this accounting scandal has been widely discussed, from the merger of CUC and HPS to the heart has passed 6 months, in 6 months, the stock market value of the new group company Cendant has plummeted by 80%, and the parent company of Blizzard's parent company is extremely sad, There have been countless rumors that Cendant is ready to sell its business, and the long-term loss-making software division, including Shell Mountain Online and Blizzard Entertainment, is undoubtedly going to be axed, which means that in fact, the future of the three with Frankpearce is not so bright.

Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce, who were also worried about their future, couldn't help it, and after glancing at each other, they simply said, "Allen, what do you want to say?" ”

Gritting his teeth, Allenadham's face flashed with cruelty, and he whispered, "I mean, since we are all going to be sold by Cendant sooner or later, why don't we take this opportunity to sell ourselves for a good price?" ”

Mikemorhaime and Frankpearce looked at Allenadham in shock, their eyes almost popping out: "You mean we helped ICQ buy Blizzard?" ”

"Why can't you do that?" Allenadham asked rhetorically, "We're all going to be sold anyway, and since we're going to be sold soon, we naturally have to think about our future." (To be continued......) r1292
