Chapter 63: The Asking Price

Remember [Martial Arts ♂ ÷ in a second? Text☆网.], update fast, no pop-ups, free to read!

Although the forum is over, there are still many people stranded in Pengcheng.

Why? It's not that I'm attracted by the charm of ant search, so let's talk about cooperation.

If you want to invest money to do bidding, you can directly register and open an account, deposit cash in advance, and follow the operation in the background.

If you don't want to invest money and only do inclusion, you can submit information to the webmaster's home, and implant the automatically generated code directly into the website background, so that you can improve it according to the analysis of Ant Index, and then make corresponding optimizations to improve the search ranking, which are all responsible for the relevant staff.

In terms of the layout of the game in the future, Chen Bo encountered considerable resistance.

Now Jin Shan is willing to talk about the issue of Xishanju, but there is no unified opinion within Tengxun, except for Ma Teng and Wang Dawei, everyone else has voted against, and it is strongly opposed.

The current opinion is that the game hall of the Sky Network can be transplanted, but it is not possible to take over the Xishanju to Tengxun.

The cycle of game development is too long, and Tencent's main business is now instant messaging and derivative portals, and then increasing the business is afraid of becoming a burden, and it is not easy to achieve the expectation of profitability, if it is dragged down by the game, it will be worth the loss.

"Hey, it's a rat's eye!!" This is Chen Bo's inner monologue now, so angry that he wants to scold his mother.

Even though he is the chairman of Pangu Technology Group, he has the right to make suggestions but no decision-making power, and when the group was established, he proposed that he would never interfere with the internal management of Tengxun, which strangled his head and could not let him make decisions beyond his authority.

The main reason for letting Tencent make games is that it is a traffic platform problem, and the other is that Tencent is now rich.

But they are completely unaware of this problem now, and it is certainly not impossible if it is funded in the name of Pangu Group.

Next, we also need to prepare the promotion plan of the two projects of Foxmail and Ant Search, and if they are divided to develop the game, the capital chain will not be supplied.

For the sake of the game, it would be more than worth the loss to give up the rights and interests of the search business to finance, so now he is in a dilemma all of a sudden.

The client game can only be put on hold for the time being, otherwise there is no other good way.

However, it is impossible to terminate the cooperation with Kingsoft, and after a series of consultations, an agreement was reached to cooperate in the development of Kingsoft Word Tyrant Ant Special Edition. This is a win-win situation, Kingsoft Word Ba provides online services for Ant Search, and Kingsoft Ciba gets the opportunity to publicize.

Kingsoft Word Boss itself is a stand-alone translation software, mainly sold to enterprises and institutions, and now it is the basic free version positioned on the network, which is certainly not as easy to use as the official software, but it is enough to allow Ant Search to provide more services to users.

Chen Bo is not without effort, he has changed it to a tool for ant killing, and will share data and information on computer antivirus security in the future.

Regarding the issue of Xishanju Studio, both parties avoided talking about it.

Kingsoft is the mentality that it doesn't matter whether it sells or not, Kingsoft's main profit lies in selling genuine software to customers, and now it has invested in the development of an online bookstore, Excellence.com, with little effect and successive losses.

And Xishanju's performance can not be said to be good, nor can it be said to be very bad, anyway, the profit target can not meet expectations, even if 108,000 sets are sold, it is only enough for the development cost, and the pirated stand-alone games on the Internet are too widespread, and the impact is too serious, so now the positioning of Xishanju is relatively chicken, tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it.

But Chen Bo had the intention to kill the thief and had no power to return to the sky, so he could only press this proposal and wait until the time was ripe to issue an acquisition offer.

On the fourth day of its launch, Ant Search exceeded an average of 30 million hits per day, surpassing Xilang.com and being only a stone's throw away from Tencent.com.

And Ant Search has not stopped its pace, the Ant Assistant developed based on Microsoft's active control has been launched, conquering the fortress of Internet Explorer, and all users can search for what they want to find from the input box of the assistant.

It is packaged and installed directly with other popular download software, although it is not authentic, but users who don't like it can delete and uninstall this applet at will.

This is equivalent to an entry tool for ant search in IE browser.

And the major forums have also quietly spread rumors that you can effectively test the speed of the Internet after setting the ant search as the homepage, which is of course Chen Bo instructed the water army to spread out, and now the network is unstable, you have to load text and pictures when you open a portal, and it takes half a day to come out.

Then you can open the ant search directly, and you will know whether you can access the Internet or not, why not, anyway, it is a very small number of users who know the truth.

Ant Search was harvesting network traffic in a hot manner, and it was not until July that Chen Bo had time to remember the Dingdong net that was stocked outside.

He is too busy to take care of this side, although now he has a professional technical team, and there are still millions of dollars of financial support lying on the books. But Su Chenghao is not from a professional Internet background after all, and his thinking mode has not departed from the shadow of doing B2C last year.

Dingdong was originally the first anniversary of the establishment of 626, but an Internet forum was being held at that time, so how could I have time to take care of this.

The matter of ant search can be put down for the time being, so I took a day to sit with dozens of employees of Dingdong to eat and chat.

Care and comfort the old employees, and broaden their thinking by the way.

The self-built warehousing and logistics system can only be done unless there is a large capital investment, and it must also have supporting technical support. The B2C business has now become a burden to Dingdong. Chen Bo's decision was to cut off the self-operated distribution model and cooperate with the same city express company, so that they could carry out the distribution in order to save costs.

The C2C website platform continues to be built, and the current progress is a little slow, so we must speed up and prepare to see where to poach talents to be responsible. Su Chenghao's brain is not enough, and he is only responsible for the B2C intra-city business for the time being, and now it has expanded to various prefecture-level cities in the Pearl River Delta, and he is busy enough.

And the more unpleasant one belongs to the Sky Network, and July is also the first anniversary of the establishment of the Sky Network.

From last year's poverty and whiteness to the current average monthly revenue of more than 20 million, it has also been divided into beautiful music networks and casual game halls.

The old employees of Sky.com must be a little unhappy, so now they have all made wedding dresses for others, and even technical talents are constantly digging from here, and good projects have been sent away.

Ant Search and Tengxun are two companies leading the way in their respective fields, and Sky.com has obviously faded the aura of the three major portals of last year's war, and it can't be low-key anymore. Although there is money, but there is little attention, it will cause psychological imbalance, and it is a psychological portrayal of most people who do not suffer from lack but suffer from inequality.

The best thing to do now is to stimulate their nerves with cash.

In half a year, the surviving funds on the Sky Network account have reached 140 million yuan, and he is really a little golden pig that makes money.

But now even if they hate it, they can't do anything, and directly withdraw 100 million as the profit handed over to the parent company, and retain the rest as a development fund. Then the semi-annual bonus will be issued, and more than 50 employees of Sky.com will each get a minimum of 5 digits in bonuses.

The employees of Sky.com will reward the seven-day tour of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and the company will reimburse the whole process and carry it out in batches.

Tengxun also launched its own plan, but it is still mainly money-based, and it is good to travel short distances in the province, after all, the company's business is too busy to leave.

As for the beautiful music network in Yanjing, Chen Bo sent an email to it, and he looked at it, and it didn't matter how much it spent, just note it in the financial statements.

In such a comparison, the psychology of the employees of Sky.com naturally feels much cooler.

Just when they were happily going out to play, Chen Bo's office ushered in a wave of strangers, who had met at the last forum, Wang Shen, chairman of TOM.com.

If you want to talk about the background of TOM.com, it is really not simple, the group also has City-State Publishing Group, China Entertainment Satellite TV, etc., which are also listed companies on the Hong Kong Stock Growth Enterprise Market.

In terms of financial strength, backed by the high-quality resources of Hong Kong Island and the big boss of Cheung Kong Industrial, there is definitely no shortage. But what is lacking is the market position in the mainland, although TOM's mailbox business is relatively mature, and the entertainment sector is also okay. But other aspects are not satisfactory, so even FM365 can't compare, and the level of up to five or six places in the ranking of the portal site belongs to the kind of website that is not top and not niche.

After Wang Shen arrived, he directly proposed to acquire the wireless business of Sky Network, and after the last forum, he continued to do some investigation, and now half of the wireless business belongs to Sky Network. Moreover, the partners cover TV stations in several southern provinces, and both mobile users and Unicom users are more recognized by Sky.com's SMS packages.

Therefore, after some discussion, the intention of acquisition was moved, as long as the sky network is included in the territory of TOM, then the domestic business at least has a firm foothold, and it also has the strength to break with the front of several major portals.

Want to buy? Yes, just take the money. Chen Bo doesn't mind selling the website he created.

Sky.com currently has a profit of more than 100 million yuan in the first half of the year, and it is expected that 200 million yuan for the whole year is not much at all, right? And according to the price-earnings ratio of 10 times, it is at least 2 billion to start, but this price will definitely scare him to death.

Of course, if Skynet can continue to maintain this momentum, it will be able to go public in the near future, which is enough to support this market capitalization.

But now, after all, the business is thin, and the dependence is strong, so it is impossible to call that high price.

That's 1 billion, the sky-high asking price, sit on the ground and pay back, but don't forget that Sky.com has an income of 200 million a year, and you can earn it back with a little bit of effort every year.

Even if there is a big financier behind TOM, he can't afford this kind of price, not to mention that TOM Group is still a listed company, and it is not easy to directly buy a second-rate website with 1 billion yuan, which is not easy to explain to shareholders.

Chen Bo doesn't care, he waved his hand directly and asked them to go back first and think about it before they came, and if they were sincere, they would lead the team to negotiate directly next time, don't delay me to make money, Sky.com has tens of millions of dollars per month, and if you don't buy it, you can play while playing.

Of course, this is also an attitude of negotiation tactics, wanting to get away with it. If you like to buy or not, you will be forced to make the TOM Group anxious, and when the pressure is high, you will naturally take action.
