As for "Counter-Strike" and "League of Legends", since the development of the 3D engine on the Storm Studio side is completed, the project here is mainly responsible for character modeling and preliminary work after it is established.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to April, and "Legend" was still popular, bringing a lot of cash flow to the micro era. However, with the increasing number of users of the two software, Golden Shield Antivirus and Golden Shield Security Guard, it has also brought a lot of pressure to the micro era.

In particular, Golden Shield Security Guard, whose users exceeded 120 million, has extremely high user loyalty, created a miracle of software development, and has also become one of the software that tens of millions of computer users start automatically. The increase in users has also made these two software money-absorbing monsters, and the cost of servers and broadband in the micro era is getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, Micro Times signed a one-month free trial contract with Mango Computer. But the one-month time is about to expire soon, and Micro Times is facing huge financial pressure.

The company began to question the necessity of the two software of Golden Shield Antivirus and Golden Shield Security Guard for free, after all, at present, the two software together occupy the server and broadband comparable to QQ, but have not seen any profit prospects.

Even in the outside world, the media is also singing about the decline of Micro Golden Shield Antivirus and Golden Shield Security Guard, which are dragging down the development of the micro era.

Some teams that originally saw the Golden Shield Security Guard conquering the city in the computer cleaning market, and some of the teams that followed the trend, terminated the development of similar software in time.

At this moment, the news came out that Micro Times would accept external financing.

As the fastest-growing Internet company in China, the development momentum of the micro era once surpassed that of Yiliao Technology, and it even forced Yiliao Technology's flagship product Yiliao to a desperate situation. In terms of games, "Happy Farm" and "Legend" under Micro Times are the most profitable games in the domestic online game market. It can be said that in the eyes of many people, the micro era is a big golden diamond and a high-performance stock, and many people want to invest and get a piece of the pie. Although the Golden Shield Security Guard and Golden Shield Antivirus launched by Micro Times recently are incomprehensible to many people, they feel that this kind of free software purely for the public is equivalent to cutting off their own feet for the development of Micro Times.

Many venture capital institutions believe that if Micro Times wants to get more valuation, it needs to sell Golden Shield Antivirus and Golden Shield Security Guard. Or, come up with a better way to do business.

In their opinion, because they are not computer professionals, they do not know much about the computer cleaning system, but the launch of the Golden Shield Security Guard has made their computers easier to use. For the free spirit of the micro era, many netizens are praising it. Therefore, even though the "Legend" under Micro Times is very money-burning, there are still many players who love Micro Times from the bottom of their hearts, and even when they see someone posting on the forum to denigrate Micro Times, they will attack it en masse.

On the one hand, since the development of the micro era, its products are more in line with user habits and are deeply liked by users. On the other hand, Tang Xin, the beautiful president of the micro era, is the IT goddess in the hearts of all otaku.

For the micro era to accept external financing, domestic and foreign financial institutions and investment banks have taken action and began to value the micro era.

In the office of the president of Mango Technology, Qiao Fei was sitting in an office chair and making phone calls.

"Brother Nan, Micro Times has begun to accept financing." Qiao Fei said to the person on the other end of the phone.

"I've heard about it, but the inside information is that this time she's only willing to put out 10% of the shares for financing. This 10%, even if I eat it all, I can't even compare to the shares of that kid from the Zhuo family. Nan Ge said.

"Brother Nan, you mean Zhuo Ping, he may have to resign and leave Micro Times to start his own business." Qiao Fei said.

"Hasn't he been pursuing Tang Xin, why did he suddenly leave the micro era and start his own business instead?" Brother Nan asked suspiciously.

"According to my understanding, Tang Xin may not want to fall in love now, Zhuo Ping has been chasing hard to no avail, so give up decisively. Besides, Zhuo Ping took out the antivirus software he developed in exchange for 5% of the equity of Micro Times, and the office building in exchange for 10% of the shares. Keeping it for appreciation is also a big profit. Qiao Fei analyzed.

"If it were you, if you fell in love with a girl, would you give up pursuing her before the girl got married?" Brother Nan asked Qiao Fei.

"I don't know, I haven't met a girl like this yet." Qiao Fei said.

"Of course I know you haven't met such a girl, because you don't like girls at all, and I know everything about you and your brother. Don't worry, I'll bless you. Nan Ge said.

"Lu Nan, are you kidding me too?" Qiao Fei's face was bruised, if it weren't for the phone, he would have wanted to fight with the other party.

"Yo, brother didn't shout anymore, just called my name, did you say your sore spot?" Lu Nan said on the other end of the phone, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Now that foreign men and women are married, it is legal, if you really like your brother, you can go abroad to get married." People, follow your own heart, love to rest assured and bold to do, brother supports you. Ha ha. ”

", can you say good things out of your mouth? I'm a serious straight man, unlike you, I don't know how many male models and male stars have been brought to your home, and I don't rarely talk about you. Qiao Fei said.

"Yo, you're quite concerned about my private life, aren't you jealous? If you're willing to give up the idea of being with your brother, I don't mind taking you into the harem. Lu Nan said with a deep smile.

"Okay, Brother Nan, I'm your brother, don't think wrong about me, my brother is afraid of you, let's not joke, okay?" Qiao Fei is a little on pins and needles, if he is favored by this guy, his life will really be over.

"I'm serious, you can think about it." Lu Nan said.

Qiao Fei directly burst into foul language and said, "Brother Nan, I'll hang up the phone if you do this again." ”

"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. What is your valuation about Micro Times? Lu Nan asked.

Qiao Fei pondered for a moment and said: "It has been less than a year since the establishment of Micro Times, and its development speed is like making a rocket. QQ alone, at least 10 billion. Plus "Legend" and "Happy Farm", the two games are at least 10 billion. Golden Shield Antivirus and Golden Shield Security Guard do not see the profit prospect yet, and are conservatively estimated at 1 billion. Hao123 website navigation 200 million, Alitong 1 billion, QQ music network 200 million, blog 200 million, other products in development that are not listed are Sogou search, Golden Shield Security Browser, "Fantasy Journey to the West", and the big stall that has just been laid, six online games, these plus a piece is almost 10 billion. According to my calculations, the valuation of Micro Times is basically 35 billion. ”

Lu Nan couldn't help but ask: "You valued Alipay at 1 billion, are you so optimistic about this software?" ”

"1 billion is already a lot, it's just an online payment software, and now Luneng Bank and Huaxia Bank have launched online banking payment functions......"

Before Qiao Fei finished speaking, Lu Nan interrupted him and said, "Xiao Feifei, I am a little disappointed in you in the matter of payment, you don't see the big market in the future payment field at all. And Alitong, under the incubation of QQ, Golden Shield Antivirus, "Legend", etc., already has 100 million users. It can be said that in the field of online payment, the hegemony of Alipay is irreplaceable, and even if there are latecomers entering the field of online payment, they can only follow the ass of Alipay, and it is difficult to become a big tool. If in the future, Alipay serves all network products, and all online payments can be carried out through Alipay, then the market is too big. For a simple example, 100 million users, even if each person is paying 1 yuan or spending 1 yuan, that is 100 million funds can be used in the micro era. As long as Alipay is limited to 3 days in the withdrawal time, there will be at least 3 days of interest to earn. ”

Qiao Fei's face changed slightly, and after listening to Lu Nan's explanation, he realized that he had indeed underestimated this software.

"Then how much do you value Alipay?" Qiao Fei asked.

"At least 10 billion." Lu Nan thought for a while and said.

"That's too exaggerated, at least in terms of current development, Paycom shouldn't be so overestimated, I think 5 billion is almost." Qiao Fei said.

Lu Nan smiled: "We are valuing the micro era here, it is better to listen to our goddess Tang's valuation of the micro era." After all, this is the time she wants to finance the micro era, and her psychological price is very important. ”

"Then I'll ask someone to ask." Qiao Fei said.

"50 billion, and it doesn't include Alipass, she wants to separate Alipass." Lu Nan said suddenly.

"Oh my God, how dare she ask for it. Is this Internet company really that valuable? Even though Qiao Fei was used to seeing the world, he was shocked at this time.
