Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 242 Giant Century Network Company

Shi Yuzhu's eyes lit up and he leaned forward slightly, "Oh? How can we cooperate with the law?"

"Establish a joint venture!"

"Appreciate further details!"

"I have experience in making games, and I am a leader in the industry when it comes to promotion and publicity history. I can come up with ideas and you can come up with others. In terms of shares, Century Investment can contribute 40% of the shares, and Giant can hold 60% of the shares and have decision-making power. If we join forces, there is no need to worry about big things happening. ? I wonder what Mr. Shi’s opinion is?”

Instead of letting Shi Yuzhu freely develop his journey, why not do it together.

Seeing that Shi Yuzhu was obviously moved, Chen Hao took the opportunity to start drawing a big pie and add fuel to the fire.

"Actually, I have always had an idea for a game in my mind, but due to the limited resources of the current company, they are already full. I'll give you a rough idea first to see if Mr. Shi is interested."

As he spoke, he briefly elaborated on some of the scenes about the journey in his memory, which seemed to hit the source of Shi Yuzhu's inspiration. After talking about it, he turned to being a guest and came up with endless ideas.

Under the current model of free games + in-app purchase of props launched by Century Interactive Entertainment, Chen Hao could see the other party's powerful rendering power by drawing inferences from one example.

During the process, Shi Yuzhu called directly and started shaking people.

The strong will always be strong. The more the two sides chatted, the more excited they became. They accidentally talked about two points, leaving a lot of scratch paper on the table.

Relevant personnel came from Giant, and even a draft agreement to establish a joint venture was completed.

Chen Hao called Xu Pengkun, Cao Wang and Qian Jun here.

Finally, after confirmation by both parties, an agreement was signed to establish Giant Century Network Technology Co., Ltd. Giant Network invested 3000 million and accounted for 60% of the shares, and Century Interactive Entertainment invested 2000 million and accounted for 40% of the shares.

At the same time, Century Interactive Entertainment is responsible for game planning and necessary technical support, and enjoys the right to make suggestions and dividends. Giant Network is responsible for the establishment of the technical team, game research and development, game operations, publicity and other matters, and has the final decision-making power.

After the confirmation was completed, the two parties found a high-end restaurant near the International Trade Center for dinner. During the dinner, Shi Yuzhu was a little worried that the company had just been established, and there were so many lines separated by mountains. Now there is not even a technical team, and everything is waiting to be done.

Chen Hao secretly whispered to him and came up with ideas, "I was also short of manpower at the beginning, and then I recruited a lot of talents from Lao Lei, and then I gradually started to improve."

Shi Yuzhu was curious, "Who is Lao Lei?"

"Lei Jun of Jinshan."

"Oh, then I understand. Okay, it's up to me." After saying this, Shi Yuzhu had a plan in mind, but he didn't say it clearly.

The day after the agreement was signed, in accordance with Shi Yuzhu's request last night, both parties kept the matter of the establishment of the joint venture secret.

Chen Hao selected several similar plans and products, assembled a team of ten people, explained to them the mode and gameplay of Zhengtu Game, and then sent them to the headquarters of Giant Century Network Company in Magic City to follow Shi Yuzhu. Game development.

And what about Shi Yuzhu?Go directly back to Shanghai and visit Chen Tianqiao of Shanda Network without stopping.

The specific process will not be stated here, but the result is that the entire project team of dozens of people from the online game "Age of Heroes" that Shanda was secretly developing was packaged and poached by Shi Yuzhu using some sugar-coated bullets, leaving not a drop left.

Chen Tianqiao was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas left his body.

From then on, Chen Tianqiao set a rule that the company prohibited any outsiders from visiting or visiting!

Shi Yuzhu also avenged his title and relieved the hatred in his heart.

Giant Century Network has a ready-made and mature technical team, and even the games are ready-made. Combined with the product planning team sent by Century Interactive Entertainment, it will carry out drastic secondary development based on the original Age of Heroes games.

During the process, Shi Yuzhu had a phone call with Chen Hao to synchronize the progress of the project. While developing the game, Giant Century continued to recruit people and began to expand the team. It is expected to be launched by the end of the year or early next year. I planned to call the game the Hero’s Path and asked about it. Chen Hao's opinion.

"Hero's Journey? Nowadays, the trend in online game names is that two characters are king. Since Mr. Shi has such ambition, why not just call it Journey?"

"Zhengtu?" Shi Yuzhu muttered twice, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, "What a good name, let's call it Zhengtu!"

"I would like to ask, Mr. Shi, how big is your Melatonin ground sales team?"

"Probably more than 2000 people."

<divclass="contentadv">"Actually, after I thought about it, the audience for this game is the rich and wealthy, which is actually very similar to the audience of Legend. And Mr. Shi has a rich promotion team, which is actually the best strategy."

"The countryside surrounds the city?"

Hey, it saves trouble to talk to smart people.

"That's what it means. Century Interactive Entertainment also has corresponding Internet cafe sales terminals, which can form a joint force to sweep all Internet cafes in third-tier, fourth-tier cities and below."

"Okay, then let the company news out?"

"Okay, let's create some momentum."

Hang up the phone, the next day.

Century.com, Century Zongheng Group official website, and Giant Group official website announced simultaneously,

Century Zongheng Group and Giant Group have reached a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly invest in the establishment of Giant Century Network Technology Company. At the same time, the large-scale national war online game "Zhengtu" is under development, so players are welcome to look forward to it.

A person who sells health care products switched to online games, and got on the big ship of Century Interactive Entertainment. This is a big leap.

In addition, given the scale of Century Interactive Entertainment, they actually ignored each other. It is really strange that things happen every year, especially this year.

This news was soon drowned out by news about Shanda's listing.

On May 2004, 5, Shanda became the first online game company to successfully list on the NASDAQ in New York.

Thanks to the good profit performance and performance growth in the market, the company's stock price has been maintained at a high price since the opening of the market, and the net worth of the company's founder Chen Tianqiao has doubled instantly, leading to the emergence of several billionaires and dozens of thousand-year-olds. Millionaire.

In one fell swoop, it surpassed the market value of South Korean online game company NCSOFT and became the world's largest online game stock.

The Chen Tianqiao family holds 60% of the shares and SoftBank Asia holds 20%.

Tang Jun, as a gold medal professional manager, also owns 260 million shares. Based on the stock after listing, his net worth directly exceeds [-] million, making him the most valuable gold medal worker.

For a time, going public in the United States became a new welfare myth among Internet companies.

Chen Tianqiao even entered the top ten of Hurun Rich List with a net worth of 60 billion.

The scenery is endless, Chen Tianqiao is rich, and "MapleStory Online", which he previously represented in South Korea, is also in intensive preparation and is expected to be launched in June or July.

The TV box project that he had been thinking about before can also be put back on the agenda.

But the first priority is to cut off the remaining small tail.

A few days later, Shanda fully acquired the Korean parent company of the online game Legend. In addition to completely taking Legend into its hands, it also got rid of the lawsuit. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

It happened that Chen Hao provided an idea, yes, if it doesn't work, just take over Blizzard, and then he laughed. His current wealth is only a fraction of the other party's, and the other party's acquisition is almost the same. Don't rush now, we will talk about it later.

After finishing the journey and other things, Chen Hao went home to rest for a few days and take it easy. Classmate Xiaoran, who was rarely good-tempered, also complained a little. Young bodies can't be built like this. Chen Hao said, "I know, I know."

Under the care of his wife, Chen Hao finally transformed from a caveman into a business elite.

In fact, Taoyoubao's self-service intelligent voice customer service reached online status last month, but Chen Hao only conducted a grayscale test on this system.

Grayscale test: continue to provide manual customer service for most users, and a small number of users start to use self-service intelligent voice customer service. If users have no objections to self-service intelligent voice service, then gradually expand the scope and migrate all users to self-service intelligent voice service Customer service comes up.

Of course, this cannot be done in one step. Even if the self-service intelligent voice system is eventually fully launched, at least 30% of manual services will still be reserved for emergency handling of special situations.

During his month of madness, he still delayed some things, but the impact was not significant.

That is, a number of flash games such as Century Friendship Network and Century Farm have been developed and are waiting for Chen Hao's acceptance.
