On October 10th, this special day, the Qing Dynasty was overthrown from the throne, and the land of China ended the era of feudal rule for more than 2,000 years. But on this day in the first year of the 21st century, the two portals of Xilang and Suhu were like an agreed high-profile online pop music page, and a huge guide advertising banner and special activities were displayed on the homepage.

Not only can it provide music auditions, but it can also be downloaded online, downloaded to the computer and played on the desktop with winamp and RealPlayer music players.

Immediately afterwards, the traffic of Sky.com plummeted by three percent, but the voices of the major forums were applauding, claiming that this was for the benefit of netizens.

In the small conference room of Sky.com, several people gathered again.

"Xilang and Suhu are obviously using their traffic advantages to bully others, and this behavior is naked piracy. TMD！ Mo Fei paced back and forth in the room angrily.

"Chen Bo, you have something to say, what should we do, should we sue him or what? You have an idea!! ”

Chen Bo sat on the chair with an expressionless face, no matter what Mo Fei said, he didn't react.

"Can you be quiet for a moment?" Guan Xin frowned and scolded in a low voice, Mo Fei looked at her sharp eyes and felt a chill in his heart, and then sat down next to the sofa angrily.

Seeing that Mo Fei was quiet, Chen Bo finally said slowly, "What's the use of being anxious, now it's Xilang and Suhu, wait for two more days, and NetE will definitely be online." Employees outside can be impatient, they can be impulsive, but we can't. Always remember that we are the management of the company, we need to stay calm, the problem has already arisen, and no amount of urgency can solve the problem. ”

"I can't help it, so what do you say?" Mo Fei hung his head and said.

"First, pay close attention to collecting evidence, and Yiming will arrange people to do it. I need to know the exact download data and the damage it is causing us. Second, Mo Fei contacted the record company, which is not a loss to our family's interests, and the record company has been hit harder than us. Guan Xin reassured advertisers one by one and reassured them that we would take care of the problem. ”

Chen Bo made everything organized and process-oriented. As the helmsman of a company, if he also loses his cool, the small ship of Sky Net will capsize at any time, so although he is also impatient, he can still control it and keep a clear head at all times.

"Yiming, how is the project that you were asked to do before?"

"It's in the final stage of testing and optimization."

"Okay, test it as soon as possible, and go live on a later date. Now that the other party has been killed, we can't sit still. Whether or not you can succeed this time depends on your technical department. ”

The small meeting is followed by the company's mobilization meeting, and there is no need to hide it, but to stimulate the strength of the whole team at this time.

"This is the biggest crisis that Skynet has encountered since its establishment. When we worked hard and stayed up late to make Sky.com the first light entertainment website in China, someone came out to pick peaches. What are you doing? ”

"Don't do it!" Everyone replied in unison.

"Then we have to use our power to tell them. Who is the new force of the Internet, let them hear the powerful voice of the young Sky Net, and let everyone know that Sky Net is not a fish belly to be slaughtered! ”

Chen Bo's impassioned speech like a revolutionary martyr stimulated the energy of all employees, and all departments turned like an efficient machine.

The first thing to do is to occupy the commanding heights of public opinion. The two armies are facing each other, and it is impossible to attack each other with nuclear bombs as soon as they come up, which is a fight for life. Of course, it is the first to release the temptation pawns, and this is the time to test the combat power of the Sky Network Naval Army. With one instruction after another, one post after another strongly supporting music copyrights and angrily denouncing the two websites of Xilang and Suhu was concocted, they instantly logged in to major forums, causing new hot spots in public opinion. The pros and cons of the two water armies coerced a large number of melon-eating people to start a war of words in the Internet rivers and lakes.

On October 12th, the network E music was launched, and the traffic of the sky network was only 2.6 million people throughout the day, a decrease of 45%.

Although the scolding war on the forum is still ongoing, and there are occasional sporadic reports in the print media, neither the record company nor Skynet has made any noise. Everything was so quiet, like before the storm, eerily quiet.

Computer News, Internet Weekly, Economic Daily and other media have called Sky.com in the hope of interviewing first-hand information, but they have eaten a soft nail, only to be told that a press conference will be held on October 18, and the address of the press conference is not in Pengcheng, but in the capital Yanjing.

When all the media people looked through the schedule, they found that on the same day, Hangzhou, the capital of western Zhejiang, would have a gathering of Internet industry players in the "West Lake Debate". The CEOs of the three major portals will be in attendance, and there is even the famous martial arts novel writer Jin Yong.

The smell of gunpowder began to fill the air, with the weak and young Sky Network on one side and the elite of the Internet world on the other. Normal media know how to choose, elite reporters were sent to Hangzhou, western Zhejiang, and the rest went to the press conference of Sky.com.

Chen Bo is not in the sky network at the moment, but appears in an office building near Huaqiang, where is this? This is Pengcheng Tengxun Computer Technology Co., Ltd.

"I didn't expect the Sky Network to be from your handwriting, admire."

In the small office, the two sat opposite each other, and when Brother Xiao Ma saw Chen Bo again, of course he remembered the young man who gave him advice, but he didn't expect that the founder behind Sky.com was actually him, and he thought that it was an employee of Goldman Sachs who came to visit.

"To say admiration, I have to admire you. QQ is now the No. 1 in the field of instant messaging, and it must have 15 million users. ”

"I'm ashamed, but thank you for your suggestion at the time, after changing from OICQ to QQ. The effect in the market is better than before. It's your idea, and I'm sorry I can't compensate you in kind. ”

Ma Teng's face was slightly red, Teng Xun was having a very difficult time now, and he had tightened his belt to live. AOL Group did not give up its claim because Tencent changed OICQ to QQ, and the final price was that Tencent paid more than 100,000 US dollars to let the other party go.

However, the increasing number of users has led to the expansion of the server. The important thing is that Tengxun is really out of money, from the monthly salary of 5,000 per person in the founding team at the beginning, to 2,500 later, and now it is in arrears for 3 months.

Ma Teng is also running around, begging his grandfather to tell his grandmother to find a source of money, but the Internet environment is like this now, and no one dares to touch it. One of the two investors is IDG, and the other is Hong Kong Island Superman Li Zekai. IDG is now doing everything possible to contact the next family to make a move, and no one is willing to take over.

Superman is very optimistic about the Internet market, but he has no intention of investing cash, and the acquisition of Island Telecom has already drained his funds. Even if you want to combine QQ and movies to seek new growth points, Wang Jing, a well-known "tertiary film" director on Hong Kong Island, has come to see it in person, and he can't come up with any good way.

Ma Teng is sleeping in the office now, with deep bags under his eyes and sallow skin, and he is even thinner than he saw last time.

"I know that Tenson is very difficult now, so I want to talk about a cooperation this time to help Tencent through this most difficult time."

"Oh? How do you want to cooperate! When Ma Teng heard the cooperation, he came to the spirit, but at the same time he maintained a certain vigilance.

"I want to get a 20% stake in Tencent." Chen Bo said his plan: "I know that IDG Capital is helping you find buyers. ”

"What about your conditions?"

"First, I will not interfere in the internal management of Tengxun, and I will give you carte blanche to vote. Second, I will personally provide Tencent with an interest-free loan of $500,000 for cash flow. Third, Sky Network opened six server hosting centers across the country for Tencent, in exchange for the login interface from Tencent QQ to Sky Network. ”

The condition proposed by Chen Bo is completely a relief for Tengxun, and it can even be said to be very generous. The savings in server resources also bring in some cash flow, albeit in the form of borrowings. But at least the company has money on its books and can pay all the arrears of salaries.

Ma Teng had no reason to refuse, but he was only a major shareholder and had to be agreed by several other people before he could decide.

"I need to consult with my founding team before I can decide!" Ma Teng's face was very excited, Teng Xun was finally saved, maybe he could sleep well tonight.

"No problem, I'm sure you won't refuse. I'll take care of IDG Capital's problems. ”

For this kind of multi-equity acquisition, it is impossible to avoid all shareholders. Like in the TV series, the rest of the company's shares are often acquired without the knowledge of a shareholder, and then you can let the major shareholders get out of the way.

Unless it's a quiet acquisition in the stock market, and the SFC is not a vegetarian. Once a change is discovered, it is necessary to make an explanation, either a hostile takeover, or a direct notice to make an offer for acquisition.

Therefore, the purpose of Chen Bo's trip is to get the founding team of Tengxun first, as long as they nod. Naturally, this is not a problem on the part of IDG Capital.

Tencent QQ now has 1,500 registered users, and nearly one million users are online at the same time. At least two-thirds of the people who go online now use QQ to chat, and it has become a habit, and the user stickiness is extremely high.

Wouldn't it be a big waste to not use such a huge amount of traffic, even if one-tenth of them accessed the sky network through QQ, it would increase the number of visits by 1.5 million, and this is directly from the chat tool to log in and access, there is no need to open other websites, type, search or several levels of web pages These cumbersome steps.

QQ is the traffic entrance on the computer desktop, and only by mastering this entrance can we control the future Internet in our hands.

October 14, the capital Yanjing.

Mo Fei and Guan Xin, accompanied by their lawyers, filed a lawsuit in the Chaoyang District People's Court against the three major portals and small websites that followed the trend. On the same day, the court will file and accept the case, and will conduct an investigation and collect evidence and hold a trial on a later day.

Chen Bo went to the headquarters office of IDG Capital in China.

On Xiong Xiaoge's desk is Sky.com's Series A commercial financing plan, which is dozens of pages, all the data is very sufficient and detailed, and even the financial data has been carefully analyzed. However, what interests Xiong Xiaoge the most are two materials, one is the authorization of the electronic music of the record company, and the other is the national service provider certificate of SMS value-added business jointly issued by Huaxia Mobile and Huaxia Unicom.
