Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 248 Buy One Get One Free

After the pleasantries, Chen Hao got down to business and analyzed the situation hao123 is currently facing from Li Xingping’s standpoint.

"Google is a foreign-funded enterprise. They just want to use hao123's traffic to divert Google search traffic so as to become a weapon against Baidu. If they are not my kind, their intentions must be different.

According to the news we got, Baidu will also go public. They want to use the acquisition of hao123 to further increase traffic and stabilize the market. Once the listing is successful and hao123's traffic is guided, Baidu will definitely let hao123 fend for itself. Mr. Li, you don't want to either The website you worked so hard to create has been relegated to the sidelines, right?

Other acquirers have only two intentions: to run the business themselves and make money before selling it, or to find a bigger business to take over and make a profit in the middle. They are all pursuing profits.

This time we come with sincerity.”

In fact, this is something that Li Xingping has been worrying about recently. The plate is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of updates is also increasing. He is still fighting alone.

Just updating and checking the legitimacy of links already takes up five or six hours a day.

Especially in the past six months, there has always been some capital seeking cooperation or acquisitions, which made him hesitate for a while. Baidu gave 1000 million in cash plus stocks that it said would be worth tens of millions after listing.

Google offered more, but he was a little worried, so he never made up his mind. Now he finally had an insider who could think from his own point of view and give advice. Regardless of whether the business was successful or not, he was very grateful to him. This boss named Chen.

Subjectively, he also had a better impression of the peer in front of him when the other party mentioned the key conditions.

Li Xingping leaned forward and asked, "Are you different from others?"

Chen Hao touched his nose and said, "Well, actually we are the same. We are no different from other companies. We also like the traffic of hao123 to attract traffic for our own products."

"Eh?" The other party's answer was very different from what he expected, which surprised Li Xingping.

"However, we not only value the navigation website hao123, but also the talent of Mr. Li. For the hao123 website, Century Investment invested 500 million in cash and delivered it in one go.

In addition, we sincerely invite you to join the big family of Century Zongheng Group and serve as the deputy general manager of Century Media. Hao123 is still in your charge, but this time you are not fighting alone. There is a mature team behind you to drive you. The development of hao123 will only get better and better. "

Chen Hao saw that Li Xingping was still hesitant and asked with a smile, "Mr. Li, if you have any concerns, why don't you just tell me?"

"I only have a junior high school education, and I have managed people before. I'm afraid that I won't be able to adapt to the environment after I go there, and I won't be able to convince the public."

Chen Hao opened his hands with an indifferent look on his face, "No matter where the hero comes from, Century Zongheng Group has top students from the Ivy League in the United States, there are career elites from the top [-] companies in the world with amazing resumes, and there are also talented people who have no academic qualifications but are skilled. I'm still a college student, why can't I have such a big career?"

Seeing that the other party was still hesitant, Chen Hao avoided Ye Changmengduo and directly used the killer weapon of future contracts, "Sign the contract on the spot today, and I will add another 500 million, for a total of 3000 million!"

Li Xingping shook his head, a little worried when he saw that the other party had misunderstood, "Boss Chen, it's not about money. I built a small website with a friend two months ago, and I'm quite optimistic about it. I thought if I agree, this private work will be done." It’s a pity that it’s no longer easy to do anymore, so I have an extravagant request. I wonder if I can include this little website as well.”

Since the other party said that he had got the job and tens of millions had been paid out, Chen Hao didn't care about this small website and just regarded it as a favor, and asked casually, "What website is it called?"

Li Xingping clenched his hands a little nervously. He still looked like he had been acquired by the other party. He was afraid that the other party would be scared away because of this small website. He said with some anxiety, "The website is called 4399. There are some small games on it. It is not famous yet."

Damn it!Any unexpected gains?Chen Hao's eyes lit up. Just when he was about to speak, he forgot that there was still tea in his mouth, and he choked and coughed.

It took a long time for the cough to subside.

4399, the number one website for mini-games in the future, has produced well-known series such as Locke Kingdom, Purcell, and Aola Star.

Li Xingping was still introducing the general situation of 4399, but stopped when he saw Chen Hao raising his hand.

Chen Hao asked an interesting question, "Why is it called 4399? Isn't it called 4388 or 4396?"

"Because the website was officially created on March 04, 3, we hope that this website will last for a long time, so."

Chen Hao clapped his hands and said, "What a good name. It happens that there is a Fluclight Game Studio under Century Interactive Entertainment, which specializes in producing flash games and can deliver ammunition to the 4399 website. But can you fully represent 4399?"

<divclass="contentadv">Li Xingping asked Chen Hao to wait and went out to make a phone call. A few minutes later, he came back and nodded, "Okay, it's done. My friend has no objection."

"Okay, the 500 million signing fee just now still counts. I will use another 500 million to acquire 4399. After you come here, you will be fully responsible for the business of the two websites hao123 and 4399. If your friend is under your control, you can let him be responsible for the specific business of 4399. I don't know. Are you satisfied now?"

Li Xingping waved his hand repeatedly, "Mr. Chen, just treat the 500 million signed as the acquisition of 4399."

Chen Hao smiled and said, "I don't have the habit of taking back what I said. You will understand it the more you come into contact with me."

Li Xingping no longer had any worries. He picked up the tea cup in front of him and made a toast with tea instead of wine. "I agree to join the big family of Century Zongheng."

Chen Hao picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all.

He squinted his eyes and savored the aftertaste in his mouth, "Well, good tea!"

"Oh? Boss Chen also knows tea ceremony?"

"That's not true. When I drink tea, even a few thousand taels of Pu'er tastes the same when I'm not in a good mood. When I'm in a good mood, even ordinary tea leaves can refresh the mind."

Li Xingping also drank the tea in the cup, "It's really good tea."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Then Li Xingping's friend came over and the two signed a series of contracts on the spot.

3500 million = hao123+4399+ There are two more generals under his command.

No matter how you look at it, it is a suitable deal!

Even when Chen Hao arrived at the Guangyan Center, his grin had not yet closed.

When we came to the Guangyan Center again, the three-story building in the courtyard was already full of people, nearly 300 people.

Chen Hao asked Zhang Xiaolong, is it time to look for land again?

This time Zhang Xiaolong did not refuse, but nodded, "Let's talk about it after we finish this period of time."

Chen Hao stayed at the Guangyan Center for two days before returning to Beijing.

During this period, the two discussed and determined the next product direction.

Foxmail is now in daily version iteration, and the basic update rhythm is advancing with two or three versions a year.

After the World Games platform is developed, the maintenance cost is very low. Currently, it can support the private launch of each game. When the time is ripe, Chen Hao plans to directly close it. Only through the World Games platform can all games of the Century series be launched to form a unified entrance. In this case The Youdun firmware can be embedded into the World Game platform.

The remaining R&D focus and manpower of the Guangyan Center are all devoted to the version update and iteration of YY.

YY2.0 containing the social version will be available to the world early next month.

Time flies so fast, June 6th arrives in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Tencent was officially listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
