I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 218 The American Negotiating Team Arrives

Other Internet companies may not know how much money "Stone Age" has made in the ten days since its launch.

However, because of the turmoil of the past few days, and because the game dynamic data on the homepage of Ltrip.com is still being updated, it is possible to guess roughly.

Envious?That is of course really enviable!
Regardless of how much money "Stone Age" made, Gengu Network was able to find a profit point in one go, which was enviable to other Huaxia Internet companies.

For a while, various companies were studying a series of actions of the ancient network.

The more you study this, the more people in the industry admire you.

Before this, China's Internet industry, whether it was portal websites, chat software, or the e-commerce that just emerged this year, was all imitating the United States.

These companies all saw that companies in the United States have done well in this area, and they are doing well, so they want to do similar things in China.

However, the Eternal Network is not the case at all.

Online games are not popular in the United States at present, and the game online community is completely unknown. Eternal Network is completely following its own path.

Moreover, people in the industry have found after research that the development ideas of Eternal Network are very clear.

The first is to develop the ancient Internet cafe management system, which opens up a direct connection channel with Internet cafes, which is something that all Huaxia Internet companies did not expect.

Because in the United States, everyone uses family computers, and there are not as many Internet cafes as there are in China. Everyone is copying the United States, so naturally they ignore this one.

After the development of the Internet cafe management system by Eternal Network, it covered Internet cafes across the country in a short period of time. When everyone realized it, the Eternal Internet cafe management system had become the standard configuration of Internet cafes.

And the Internet cafe membership system and software update system launched later directly blocked the software of other companies that were going to use the slogan of free.

And now, word-of-mouth has spread even more. Even newly-opened Internet cafes come to them directly to install the Eternal Internet Cafe Management System.

People don't even look at what other companies sell.

Afterwards, Ltrip launched a series of activities that precisely gathered a bunch of gamers.

Moreover, when I went online, I questioned my coquettish operation, and it is still being studied and imitated by everyone.

Then, it has been imitated and never surpassed.

The basis of all the above also provides a very good environment and timing for the launch of "Stone Age".

Coupled with the internal beta activities and a series of promotions in place before "Stone Age", the game became very popular once it was launched.

And what happened later, everyone became clearer. The traditional media came out to question, but things turned around. Not only did they apologize in the end, but it also made the Stone Age a hot topic of discussion again.

Immediately afterwards, there was another wave of inviting and courteous activities, which successfully turned the hot spot into real users and banknotes.

As for how much money Eternal Network has made, even if you don't know the specific data, you know that it must be a lot.

Just like what Lin Xiao thought before, everyone was burning money, but Eternal Network has laid out step by step and successfully found a way to make money.

Apart from admiring everyone, this is more shocking and learning research.

As for the heterogeneity of Eternal Network, people in the industry are envious of it.

But what about jealousy?Not so much.

After all, apart from Lianzhong Games, the launch of Stone Age has little impact on other companies.

Some companies even benefit from it.

For example, OICQ of Xiao Ma, because some players in the Stone Age want to invite online, the number of registrations and activity have even increased significantly in the past few days.

Of course, such a number of registrations and activity did not bring any good mood to Tencent's Xiao Ma and others.

Because there is no money!

In the past month, Brother Xiao Ma and others have borrowed money everywhere, and indeed raised some funds, but judging from the current situation, the money can last for about half a month at most.

In another half a month, if there is no new money injection, or if OICQ has not found a way to make money, the company will face a crisis of running out of ammunition and food.

One of the incidents happened, and it dealt a big blow to Xiao Ma and the others.

Brother Xiao Ma's family background is good, so he also met some rich people in Pengcheng. When he asked one of them to borrow 50 yuan, when he asked this person whether he could use Teng Xun's shares to repay the debt, this person He even generously said:

"You're really out of money, it's okay if you don't pay it back, just forget about the shares."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. For everyone in Teng Xun, the frustration is real.

In the past two days, after seeing a series of actions of Lin Xiao, they, like other people in the industry, carefully analyzed the layout and development of the ancient network again, and the result was that they admired each other even more in their hearts, and they were more concerned about the problems they faced. The situation is even more confusing.

At this time, some people also asked whether it is possible to follow the example of "Stone Age" and charge users.

Brother Xiao Ma and others discussed two models, one is registration fees, and spend money to buy OICQ numbers.

The other is to imitate "Stone Age", charging according to the user's online time.

However, these two proposals were ultimately rejected by Xiao Ma and Zeng Liqing.

Regardless of whether the company currently has relevant channels to charge fees, given the fact that there are other instant messaging software in the market, if the company dares to charge fees, all users will definitely use other software.

Discussions about project profitability once again ended without a problem.

The room leak happened to rain overnight, and at this moment, Teng Xun encountered new troubles.

On November 11th, while Lin Xiao and others were enjoying the staged victory of "Stone Age".

Brother Xiao Ma summoned the founder team of Teng Xun to meet together urgently.

“Just now we received a lawyer’s letter from America Online, they have sued OICQ infringed ICQ’s intellectual property rights to the U.S. District Court, asking us to stop using OICQ’s software name and return the domain name of OICQ.com to America Online. "

After Xiao Ma finished speaking, several people looked at each other in blank dismay. For a moment, they didn't know how to deal with it.

In the end, Chen once, who has studied law, said: "In the United States, going to court is very expensive. We don't have the money to go to this lawsuit, and even if we go to fight, the probability of losing the lawsuit is relatively high. .”

"Then let's ignore it for now." Feeling a bit battered, Xiao Ma said directly: "How is the connection with the bank?"

Chen once replied: "I have already contacted the bank, but after seeing our server, the bank said that the loan amount is very small. Basically, it does not help the company's current predicament."

Brother Xiao Ma was silent for a long time before finally raising his head and saying: "According to the current situation of the company, it is very difficult for us to find a way out of the predicament with our own strength. So..."

Speaking of this, Brother Xiao Ma paused, and after a long time, he said with some difficulty: "I want to ask everyone, do you have any ideas to sell OICQ?"

Several founders looked at each other, and then began to speak one by one.

Willing to sell, and who is willing to buy, became the focus of discussion in the next round.

…………

OICQ is not doing well. Other companies in the domestic Internet industry have remained relatively stable. Several portal websites are still the mainstream of the industry. However, the limelight during this period has been completely suppressed by Eternal Network. up.

During this period, the only thing in the Internet industry that was slightly comparable to "Stone Age" was probably the first China Miss Internet final organized by China.com.

The first Miss Internet Competition in China started in September, and it has always attracted the attention of netizens. After rounds of competitions, the finals on November 9rd even overwhelmed the limelight of "Stone Age" and became the hottest topic.

The reason is that in the final, a wheelchair-riding contestant named "Peteria rapae" overwhelmed everyone and won the championship.

It was once reported that "Peteria rapae" was restricted from participating in the finals due to physical reasons, but in the end she still appeared in the finals and won the championship.

This competition, known as making little people realize their dreams, still caused certain topics and hot spots on the Internet, and the popularity and traffic of China.com have also been greatly improved.

Lin Xiao is also paying attention to this activity of China.com all the time. On the one hand, Ye Keyong will indeed communicate with Lin Xiao from time to time. After all, Lin Xiao came up with this idea.

On the other hand, Lin Xiao also took the initiative to care about the popularity of the event and its impact on CDC.

Of course, what he wants to see most is the impact on CDC's share price.

It has to be said that Lin Xiao came up with this idea to increase the stock price of China.com, which is indeed very effective.

Although China.com, as a portal website, has also failed to find a profit point, the increase in influence and visits has indeed made the stock more favored by investors.

After CDC completed the entire activity, the stock had a big rise, rising to 227.8 yuan per share.

The market value of China.com has reached 38 billion yuan at this time.

Such a market value is much higher than the 28 billion yuan in the same period of the previous life.

In addition to caring about the stock of China.com, Lin Xiao has also been paying attention to the latest news these days, and it will be mid-November soon.

So in the past few days, no matter whether it is morning or evening, Lin Xiao turns on the TV in the house and broadcasts the official news channel.

On November 11th, Lin Xiao also turned on the TV after returning from exercising outside in the morning.

At 8 o'clock, the morning news begins.

Lin Xiao listened to the news broadcast on TV while eating the breakfast he brought back from the outside while exercising.

Then at a certain moment, his movements stopped abruptly.

"Our news shows that the U.S. government delegation led by U.S. Trade Representative Barfsky and U.S. Economic Commission Chairman Perrin will arrive on November 11, and will start a new round of negotiations on joining the WTO..."

coming!
