PS: The biggest winner in Chapter 287 has been released, click on "Catalog", and you can go to see it.

At this time, other investors present also opened their mouths one after another, expressing their willingness to invest in Xinlang Weibo.

"Mr. Hu, it's really a good idea, celebrities tear each other apart, and our company is also willing to invest in Xinlang Weibo!"

"Our company can follow the investment!"

"Mr. Hu, many of our investment companies want to invest in Xinlang Weibo, see if you can take more shares, otherwise there will be not enough points!" Besides, Xinlang Weibo wants to develop, and it needs to PK with Wujiang Weibo, and it can't be done without enough ammunition! ”

"Yes, Mr. Hu, you should take more shares. Xinlang Weibo's top priority is to survive, the number of shares is not important, if the competition fails, even if you hold more shares, in the end it is worthless. ”

"The more Xinlang Weibo raises, the greater the winning rate! If there is less financing this time, in fact, for us investors, we will not have enough confidence in Xinlang Weibo! Therefore, Xinlang Weibo should either stop financing and simply close the website as soon as possible to avoid wasting funds; Or just raise more money and let it go!! At this time, Zhang Lei of Hillhouse Capital said in a serious voice.

After a pause, he added, "Xinlang Weibo's financing plan is only $25 million, but I don't think that amount is enough to spend, and I estimate that at least $50 million is about the same." If Xinlang Weibo only raises 25 million, then we Hillhouse Capital will not invest and dare not take this risk. ”

When other investors heard this, they expressed their support.

When Hu Yangyu heard this, he suddenly felt pain and happiness.

The more money raised, this means that Xinlang Weibo will have to give more shares to investors.

Selling too many shares in the first round of financing will inevitably have a huge impact on the company's future financing plans.

However, there is no need to think about the long-term situation now.

The most important thing is that Xinlang Weibo can survive the competition.

Hu Yangyu thought for a moment, smiled wryly and said to the investors: "Okay, I will try my best to persuade the board of directors to agree to your request!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all smiled.

"Mr. Hu, we look forward to your good news!"

"Hopefully!" Hu Yangyu smiled and nodded.

………

On the same day, Hu Yangyu conveyed the investor's request to Xinlang Group.

The board of directors of Xinlang Group immediately met and discussed for more than an hour, and finally agreed to the requirements of investors, and decided to sell 35% of the shares of Xinlang Weibo to major investors in the first round of financing.

There is no way, Wujiang Weibo is developing rapidly, and the pressure on Xinlang Weibo is too great, and Xinlang Weibo will not catch up at the moment, then there will be no fun.

The next afternoon, at 3 o'clock.

Hu Yangyu met with major investors again.

Under Hu Yangyu's arguments, Xinlang Weibo sold 35% of its shares in exchange for an investment of $70 million.

Everyone was overjoyed and satisfied.

The investment agreement was signed on the same day.

In the evening of the same day, the homepage of the Sina portal website announced the news that Xinlang Weibo had successfully raised $70 million.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the surprise of countless netizens.

Seeing this, NetEase and Sohu were even more panicked.

Sina Weibo acted so fast, it only took a few days to complete the financing, and the first round of financing received 70 million US dollars, with so much money, Xinlang Weibo can easily develop!

How can NetEase Weibo and Sohu Weibo compete?

In the competition in the market, it is often the boss who "fights" with the second, and as a result, the third, fourth, and fifth are inexplicably gone......

NetEase and Sohu also held meetings as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures.

Everyone discussed and discussed at the meeting, which was nothing more than to hurry up and raise funds for their own Weibo project as soon as possible, so as to compete with Wujiang Weibo and Xinlang Weibo!

So, starting from the next day, NetEase and Sohu also announced financing plans.

It's just that investors' enthusiasm for investment is not high.

The investors who were most enthusiastic about investing in Weibo have now invested in Xinlang Weibo.

Although some investment companies prefer to invest in the entire track, they are still a minority.

And the most important thing is that NetEase Weibo and Sohu Weibo have been half a beat slower, and they are already at a disadvantage in the face of competition from Wujiang Weibo and Xinlang Weibo.

In the face of the increasingly volatile microblogging industry, investors are also worried.

……

After Xinlang Weibo received $70 million in financing, Hu Yangyu suddenly became much more confident.

His original plan could be continued.

Not all celebrities will go to the borderless group, because even if they want to, they can't. Therefore, Hu Yangyu is confident that as long as Xinlang Weibo throws an olive branch to second- and third-tier stars to help them increase their fame and income, it is expected that they will never refuse.

There are many fans of first-tier stars, but the number of second- and third-tier stars is large, and the fans of these second- and third-tier stars add up to a lot.

In addition, not all A-list stars are not interested in Xinlang Weibo.

As the saying goes, "I'd rather be a chicken's mouth than a cow's queen".

On the Wujiang Weibo side, you can't be the boss, but when you come to Xinlang Weibo, you are the boss, and you can also get the strong support of Xinlang Weibo, why not?

Hu Yangyu saw through this, so even though the scale of Wujiang Weibo is far greater than that of Xinlang Weibo, he is still confident that Xinlang Weibo will develop.

At this moment, he has asked his team members to start contacting celebrities in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and invited them to settle in Xinlang Weibo with a lot of money, and is also ready to implement plans for celebrities tearing each other, celebrity fans tearing each other, celebrity scandal hype, paparazzi candid photo exposure, etc......

Let Xinlang Weibo drive the topic and attract traffic across the network.

……

……

Xinlang Weibo is in full swing preparing its own killer feature, and the financing plans of NetEase Weibo and Sohu Weibo are not going well.

However, at this time, the attention of netizens was attracted to a game.

Still like in the previous life, Shanda Group represented an online game called "Legend of Blood" from South Korea.

On September 28th, "Legend of Blood" was officially open beta.

On the day of the public beta, "Legend of Blood" exploded, and it immediately stole the popularity of Xinlang Weibo's financing of 70 million US dollars.

No one expected that an online game with poor graphics and rough and simple gameplay would become a big hit in China.

Major domestic media couldn't help but report on "Legend of Blood".

There are also many reporters who went to the Borderless Group to ask their opinions on "Legend of Blood" and whether they would worry that "Legend of Blood" would affect the status of Borderless Group in the game industry.

……

Borderless Tower.

Chairman's Office.

"Dong Zhao, "Legend of Blood" is menacing, and many people in the Internet café are playing this game!" Liu Yinyin frowned.

Zhao Ye frowned slightly and didn't speak, he actually knew the game "Legend of Blood", but he didn't go to South Korea to represent the game.

In Zhao Ye's opinion, it is mainly because everyone has not played this type of online game, so they will like it.

Wujiang Group is also developing online games, which has cost three or four billion US dollars, and the first "Flood World: Three Clans" is about to be developed, the game screen is comparable to movie special effects, and the gameplay is diverse, it is a sandbox game, and the game has a high degree of freedom.

This epic gaming masterpiece, once launched, is bound to take the world by storm.

Therefore, Zhao Ye is not interested in games like "Legend of Blood" at all.

Moreover, Zhao Ye also wants to sell more Shenzhou computers through the game "Flood World: Three Clans Battle".

Because "Flood World: Three Clans" has relatively high requirements for computer configuration, the general computer configuration cannot bring this kind of game at all.

Zhao Ye believes that a super fun game will definitely force countless players to grit their teeth and buy new equipment.

Of course, Wujiang Group mainly wants to make money from consumers in foreign developed countries.

At present, the income of most people in China is not very high, but fortunately, Tenglong Internet cafes are all over the country's large and small cities and towns.

When the time comes, it will be good to update the computers of Tenglong Internet Cafe.

The old computers are donated to rural schools, so that rural children can also be exposed to computers and the Internet from an early age, and learn about the outside world. Excess old computers can also be sold to Africa and South America.

The emergence of "Flood World: Three Clans" may also promote the innovation of computer technology.

At half past two in the afternoon, Zhao Ye went to the game development department of Wujiang.

Wang Jizhi, the person in charge of "Flood World: Three Clans Fighting for Hegemony", saw Zhao Ye coming to him, and immediately understood Zhao Ye's intention.

After he went up to greet Zhao Ye, he began to introduce the development progress of "Flood World: Three Clans Fighting for Supremacy".

In fact, if it weren't for the repeated skipping of tickets in "Flood World: Three Clans", this game would have been released a long time ago.

But then again, bounce tickets are also a manifestation of excellence.

Therefore, Zhao Ye didn't blame them much.

"Dong Zhao, there are still some small bugs in "Flood World: Three Clans", our game developers are testing and fixing, it must not take much time for us to release it!" Wang Jizhi introduced.

"Mr. Wang, I've heard what you said several times, and in the end, I always bounced the ticket. You can give me a letter now, when will "Flood World: Three Clans Fight" be officially released! Right now, a South Korean "Legend of Blood" is actually all the rage in China, which is simply a slap in the face. We must fight back! Zhao Ye shook his head and said slightly, slightly dissatisfied.

After the game "Legend of Blood" became popular, Wang Jizhi also downloaded the game and then tried it.

After trying it out, he was full of disdain.

"Legend of Blood" and "Flood World: Three Clans Battle" are not at the same level at all, and after playing "Flood World: Three Clans Battle", you will no longer feel the slightest interest in "Legend of Blood".

It's the game screen of "Legend of Blood", which is really not flattering.

The game quality of "Flood World: Three Clans" is the same as the movie quality, which has taken countless people in the company.

Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has never been tried!

"Dong Zhao, the !! will be released at the end of the year" Wang Jizhi said with a determined face.

Zhao Ye asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"Very sure !!" Wang Jizhi nodded heavily.

"Okay! It's September now, so in November, the promotion of "Flood World: Three Clans Fight" will begin! Zhao Ye thought for a while and said.

Wang Jizhi felt that there was no problem, so he nodded and responded: "Okay!" ”

"Oh, by the way, how is World of Warcraft and StarCraft: Rise of the Terrans developing?"

"World of Warcraft" is based on the plot of the real-time strategy game "Warcraft" as the historical background, relying on the historical events and heroes of Warcraft to develop a magnificent masterpiece, the game investment budget is not less than "Flood World: Three Clans".

StarCraft: Terran Rise is an epic game developed with the plot of the real-time strategy game StarCraft as the historical background, which is a prelude to the massively multiplayer online role-playing game StarCraft, mainly about the Terrans exploring space and conquering space......

The next second "StarCraft" is the focus, the human race meets the gods and the zerg, setting off a three-race hegemony. In the second part, players can choose any race, and the gameplay will be richer.

As for the real-time strategy version of StarCraft, the Borderless Group is currently not planning to develop a second installment, and the current focus is on developing massively multiplayer online role-playing games. This kind of real-time strategy type of game is difficult to get started, and many players don't want to play it. Therefore, the second part of the real-time strategy version of "StarCraft" was not developed, and the "StarCraft 2" in the previous life did not sell well, but also affected the popularity of the first "StarCraft 1" game.

So, when the time comes, it would be nice to launch a remastered version of StarCraft, and make the picture clear and beautiful.

When Wang Jizhi heard this, he shook his head and said: "Our current work is focused on "Flood World: Three Clans", so the development progress of "World of Warcraft" and "StarCraft: Rise of the Terrans" is relatively slow. World of Warcraft is 37% in development and StarCraft: Terran Rise is 12% in development. Expected to be released in ......"

After a pause, Wang Jizhi estimated in his heart, and then said: ""World of Warcraft" will probably be launched in 2006, and as for "StarCraft: Rise of the Terran", it will probably be launched in 2008. ”

Wang Jizhi thought about it for a while, felt that the time seemed to be a bit long, and hurriedly added: "After all, it is reasonable to keep improving and take a long time to make games. ”

Zhao Ye was speechless, glanced at Wang Jizhi, and urged: "Recruit more people, we must speed up the development of games, all games have to be developed for so long, how can we make money!" ”

Wang Jizhi smiled bitterly and defended himself: "Dong Zhao, not all games have to be developed for so long, "Running Kart", "Dungeon Warriors", "League of Legends", "CS· GO", "Resident Evil", "Grand Theft Auto" and many triple-A game masterpieces, the development time is very fast. It's just that the three games "StarCraft", "World of Warcraft" and "Flood World" are more special, and our purpose is to create a super IP!! ”

Zhao Ye thought about it for a while and felt that what Wang Jizhi said made sense.

"StarCraft", "World of Warcraft" and "World of Warcraft" are the core game IPs of Borderless Group, and after the game is released, it will immediately start the film and television adaptation, and at that time, the whole world will go crazy for these three super IPs!
