Reborn Millennial Gamer

Chapter 559 Weibo goes online (4k)

On March 3th, Ali Baba.

"Mr. Lu, will your meeting with Mr. Pang from 51.com tomorrow afternoon be arranged at the 'Jiangnan Meeting' according to the old rules?"

"old place."

Lu Yun waved his hand irritably, telling the secretary to leave.

Although the "3" crisis was urgent public relations at the first time, it took almost half a month to pull Ali out of the quagmire. At least some reputation was restored, which is nothing compared to Feigou.com.

After all, Master Lu influences online public opinion.

As long as Feigou.com takes 50% of the action, it can blow up 100%, not to mention paying 200% of the action.

And even if Taoduoduo puts in 200% of its efforts, it will be suppressed maliciously and deliberately hidden, and the effect will be reduced to 50%.

In comparison, Ahri can only barely pass the test.

"Public opinion! Public opinion!"

He was eager to master more traffic channels than ever before, and his eyes turned to the computer.

Seeing that the screen was frozen at 51.com, and the account registration was completed according to the novice tutorial, the system immediately automatically recommended 3 young ladies, whose avatars were either pure, enchanting, or non-mainstream.

Under their meticulous guidance, they perfected their personal information, uploaded photos, and became familiar with the community...

"No wonder there are so many copying Penguin, only 51 Net can stand out, it does have its unique place."

Lu Yun thought for a while, and found that the three young ladies are actually administrators who specialize in guiding beginners, but he has to admit that this kind of "opposites attract" gameplay can indeed attract users.

Especially the non-mainstream who are good at Martian language.

If you want to play with labor and capital, you can hang up and play with you, 埖颜ミ to lure you ╮, ╭ぺ莼兰∞╮, ヤ;

Burying loved families can be seen everywhere.

Just when I felt that I could not understand the young people born in the [-]s and [-]s, a pop-up window suddenly popped up on the page:
[For your memory, please fill in your address in the QQ profile, which can increase the number of visits to the homepage]

"it is good!"

Lu Yun clapped his hands and applauded, forcibly linking 51.com and QQ together, secretly absorbing the number of QQ users.

Back in the day, I used Q groups to spread Taoduoduo’s links. If there were no Trojan horse links for some reason, Taoduoduo would also be able to parasitize QQ and complete Taoduoduo’s traffic accumulation.

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

"Jack, something happened."

Cai Chongxin pushed the door and entered, his steps hurried.

"Didn't the melamine just be settled, what happened again!" Lu Yun's smiling face froze.

"Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and Morgan Stanley demanded that the contract be amended to increase the underwriting sponsorship fee from 3.5% to 4.5%!"

"How can we change the 3.5 points that we negotiated!"

"David from Goldman Sachs said that although the main responsibility for the problematic milk powder does not lie with Taoduoduo, it will seriously affect Ali's image and will not destroy our listing plan, but the IPO price will definitely fall. Because of this part of the loss, it must be raised. Premium!"

"What the hell, why!"

Lu Yun couldn't help being rude, and took advantage of the fire to rob.

Usually, the underwriting fees of securities companies listed in Xiangjiang only account for 3% to 5% of the financing amount, and it is even cheaper to find local underwriting fees, which only charge about 2.5% to 3.5%.

Like Penguin, because it was a star company before it went public, major securities firms and investment banks competed for sponsors, so the fees were naturally low.

Only a tiny 2.25%.

Originally Ahri was charged 3.5%, and he was already worried about it.

Unexpectedly, Wall Street dared to ask for 1 more point!

They are dogs!
"We either agree or we remove the underwriters."

Cai Chongxin was angry, but his mind was very calm.

[-]% to [-]% of the IPOs are acquired by institutional investors. Unlike Penguin, Ali is mixed with Buffett and Bill Gates, all relying on Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and Morgan Stanley.

Removing the underwriter now is equivalent to changing the situation.

Not only will it shake the morale of Ahri and the confidence of the capital, but it will also delay the listing time, but the listing cannot be delayed.

They have already signed a VAM agreement with Yahoo. In any case, Ali Baba must be listed before 2008, otherwise they will have to compensate 15% of the equity and voting rights.

Means, management will lose control!

"What the hell, they saw Ahri's death spot, so they dared to tear up the agreement and blackmail us!"

Lu Yun slapped his hands on the table angrily: "Chongxin, you go and tell David, tell them, I don't agree, anyway, all the milk powder in question, Taoduoduo has been taken off the shelves, and the flagship stores of Silu Milk Powder and Tmall are all closed It's..."

Cai Chongxin sighed: "The point is not here. In the mother and baby channel that we can sell, the sales dropped from the first to the second, and it was overtaken by Feigou.com."

"..."

Lu Yun was startled, speechless for a long time.

Cai Chongxin frowned. Most of Ali's valuation is on Taoduoduo, and most of Taoduoduo's valuation is based on the mother and baby channel.

As a country with a large population in the world, the maternal and child market has a bright market prospect, but now, it's smashed, it's all smashed!
"That's no reason for them to raise prices."

Lu Yun gritted his teeth and did not let go: "4.5 points, don't even think about it!"

"Yes, we have another chance to prove ourselves."

Cai Chongxin and him looked at each other and thought of "6" in unison. As long as the first Tmall shopping festival is successful, the decline of "19" can be completely reversed.

"Then we'll talk as we go."

"It's not a bad thing to renegotiate the price. As long as the report card of '6' is good enough, the initiative will not belong to them. We don't want 19%, we don't want 4.5%, we don't even want 3.5%!"

"'6·19' must be well-run, and 51 Net must not be missing."

"When will Pang Dongsheng come to Hangzhou?"

"tomorrow."

Lu Yun sat back in front of the computer and carefully analyzed the similarities and differences between 51.com and QQ. Almost as soon as Qzone launched a new function, 51.com immediately absorbed it into its own platform.

Penguin has a QQ show, and 51.com has a 51 show.

Penguin has a happy farm, and 51.com has a happy farm.

In addition to the same SNS social games as grabbing a parking space and Q pet chaos, even 51 game hall, 51 voice...

But at the same time of plagiarism, it also has its own characteristics, such as "online portrait shooting" and "rating netizens' photos", which also gave birth to a gift-giving model similar to live broadcast rewards.

There are supercars, necklaces, rings, and roses.

"One rose, we price 5 51 coins."

The next day, Pang Dongsheng talked with Lu Yun and other high-level executives at the "Jiangnan Club", a Zhejiang business club.

"We charge 51 cents for a 5 coin. Up to now, more than 6% of the users can receive 50 roses, that is to say, at least one user can earn 125 yuan.

This is just the most elementary, users can also start live broadcasts like penguins, and users can recharge charm points for their favorite anchors, 1000 points are 25 yuan..."

The more we talked, the more Lu Yun was attracted to 51.com.

In the dark, a voice in his head told him that there seemed to be good sparks between live broadcast and e-commerce.

"We are very interested in 51.com, and we believe that we will be able to complement each other and achieve win-win results. I wonder if Mr. Pang is willing to reach a strategic cooperation?" Cai Chongxin smiled and adjusted his glasses.

"Well, Ari is not the first to say that he wants to form a strategic partnership with 51.com. Giant's President Shi also said it, and he is quite sincere. I don't know Ari's sincerity..."

Pang Dongsheng won't scatter eagles if he doesn't see a rabbit.

Lu Yun laughed and said, "We know that Mr. Pang will give out 25% of the shares in this financing, and Ari is willing to invest 5100 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the number '51' on 51.com."

Pang Dongsheng raised his eyebrows, and it was exactly the same as Shi Yuzhu's offer. Did you negotiate it, or was it just a coincidence?

He smacked his lips: "'E-commerce + social networking' is really good, but Mr. Lu, I am more inclined to 'social + gaming'. Together with Giant Network, we will complete the vertical track of online games to the end."

"Mr. Pang, do you really expect Mr. Shi to help 51.com achieve success?"

"President Shi is more experienced in this area. Didn't he make "Zhengtu", this game is no worse than "World of Warcraft"!"

"Wrong, Mr. Pang, you are too wrong."

"How am I wrong?"

"You, overestimated the giant, underestimated Ahri."

Lu Yun spoke like a lotus flower, "Where does Giant Network rank in the entire game industry? Penguin, Shanda, Wangyi, New Wolf, and Perfect World don't even rank in the top five. There is only one "Zhengtu" under its banner, and Mr. Pang will not I don’t know that all online games have a lifespan, even Penguin’s "Miracle MU" is now gone."

Then the topic changed, "But e-commerce is different. Ahri ranks second in terms of traffic and sales in e-commerce, and the future of e-commerce does not stop at the present. The cooperation between 51.com and Ari Not only is it a win-win now, but it will be in the future as well!"

"Boss Lu is right."

Pang Dongsheng couldn't help being moved, the financing is purposeful.

51.com’s first financing was based on Shen Nanpeng’s entrepreneurial experience from Sequoia Capital, the second financing was supported by Intel’s technology, and the third financing was directed towards Shi Yuzhu because it imitated Penguin’s approach. I want to learn the "exclusive secrets of online games" from him, and then 51.com will develop online games by itself.

But now, it seems that bundling with Ahri is also good.

"Immediately Ahri will invest hundreds of millions of dollars to build Ahli's first shopping festival. If we can reach a strategic cooperation with 51.com at this time, we will be the second strong combination of 'Penguin+Flying Shopping', catch up, There is great hope for even surpassing!"

Lu Yun asked back: "Is Shi Yuzhu okay?"

Pang Dongsheng fell into deep entanglement and was in a dilemma, "Mr. Lu, I am inclined to both you and Mr. Shi. How about this? Since you and Mr. Shi are buddies, talk to the two of you and see if the two of you are willing." Are you willing to invest in a joint venture, and the three of us will work together?"

"Then what if President Shi is willing to quit?"

Lu Yun monopolizes 25% of the shares, and only in this way can 51.com follow Ari to the dark without hesitation.

Only in this way can we do Flipbuy!

.........

"Hey, this eyelid is jumping, someone is scolding me."

Lu Fei personally sent Liang Mengsong to Pengcheng. After making arrangements for him, he took the time to go to the 48-story Penguin Building.

Looking down, you can have a panoramic view of Shenda.

"It might be Lu Yun, it might be Zhang Chaoyang..."

Lu Huateng smiled, "Maybe it's Pang Dongsheng."

Lu Fei looked sideways, and it was extremely rare to see disgust written on his good-tempered face, "Why did he provoke him?"

"He's just too much!"

Lu Huateng had a gloomy face, "Plagiarism is tolerated, and traffic stealing is fine. When Penguin is expanding rapidly, there is no time to deal with such a thief, but he is really addicted to stealing. He started to steal our people no matter the cost. Last week, another nine were stolen."

"Didn't you sign a non-compete agreement?" Lu Fei asked.

"Sign it, it's useless."

Lu Huateng said dissatisfied, "This Pang Dongsheng has opened a technical consulting subsidiary company, transferred the labor relations of those poached employees to this company, and then worked as a technical consultant for 51.com. The salary and benefits offered are higher than those in Penguin. 15%."

"Which departments are poached?" Lu Fei asked.

"A small number of QQ's main business departments are probably created by them. Most of them are game employees. Those 51 people are in charge of the casual game team in the QQ game hall, and 9 of them are the core backbones that the company focuses on training."

Lu Huateng was puzzled, "I've been thinking about it for three days and three nights, but I can't figure out why they want to change jobs?"

"I also can't figure out that in 49 there were still people who took refuge in Guojun."

Lu Fei made a joke, "Do you and Li Qing plan to deal with him?"

"Of course, the security manager is just the beginning. We set up a '51 Office' and discussed a whole set of plans."

Lu Huateng counted them one by one. The simple ones, such as the dynamic binding of QQ mobile phones and QQ friends, directly kill the parasitic QQ of 51.com, and the complicated ones, such as anonymous reporting to the anti-pornography office.

In 07, the nationwide anti-pornography campaign started again.

51.com has always been playing the blue side game. A small group of anchors are recruited from KTVs in Guancheng and other places.

Attract a lot of men, sign up and spend money.

It's the same routine as the live broadcast!
"It's not enough. It hasn't touched the foundation of 51.com. To put it bluntly, 51.com's social networking is based on gender values."

Lu Fei laughed and said, "Weibo will cover it with coffin boards."

"Will Weibo endanger QQ?"

Lu Huateng is also worried that Weibo will shake the foundation of Penguin, although Penguin already holds shares in Twitter, Line, Facebook...

"No, the principles and models of QQ and Weibo are completely different. You might as well say WeChat is more suitable."

Lu Fei smiled and said, "How is the development of WeChat?"

"Xiaolong is progressing very smoothly. With Fetion's research and development experience and technology accumulation, maybe next year it will be able to be equipped with the English version of Wechat on the iPhone at the same time, but kakaotalk, which is jointly developed with Line, may have to wait until the next year..."

As Lu Huateng spoke, Lu Fei looked up at the sky without saying a word.

Weibo was launched in internal testing at the beginning of March. Taking advantage of the "3" storm, it quickly captured the social market. The limited number of 3 invitations issued every day is simply not enough.

Those who use it say "good", and those who don't use it criticize Weibo for everything, but there is one problem——

It's just that I don't have the qualifications for internal testing.

After half a month of maintenance and modification, Weibo finally officially launched in April under the long-awaited.

At launch, ads are everywhere:

"New Wolf Weibo, a one-sentence blog!"

"Write what you see and think into a paragraph, attach a picture, and share it anytime, anywhere through a computer or mobile phone."

"Flying Shopping, Penguin, New Wolf Portal, and Weibo account realize one-click login.

"Anyone who registers a Weibo account and completes the relevant invitation tasks between April 4st and June 1th will receive a lucky draw opportunity to participate in activities jointly organized by New Wolf, Feigou, Penguin, Qilixiang and other companies. Prizes Rich, with Q coins as the bottom line."

During the internal testing period, Ding Sanshi, Zhang Chaoyang, and Pang Dongsheng, who had been following Weibo closely, and everyone in the Internet circle all cast their eyes on it.

After the "Godfather of Blogging", Mr. Lu honorably won the title of "Godfather of Weibo". When Xinlang was the first to eat crabs, Wangyi, Sohu, Shanda, etc. were not far behind.

Competing to be the second to eat crabs.

After all, there is only so much territory on the Internet.

Every piece of blue ocean will inevitably attract countless snatches, just like blogs and videos. I have to have what others don’t have, and I have to have what others have, but I have lost the first-mover advantage.

Doomed, Weibo is the ultimate big winner.

Not just early releases.

Master Lu, the domain name merchant, sold weibo.com and weibo.cn to Xinlang for a symbolic fee of 800 million dollars, which once again set a new record for the highest transaction price of domain names in the country.

New Wolf Weibo, which took the opportunity to create momentum.

Moreover, there was another wave of ups and downs. Gao Yuanyuan, the "thirteen younger sisters" of the Han and Tang dynasties, shouted, who dared not give face on Huayu Road, immediately registered one after another, attracting traffic strongly.

They are all chasing @高元元 to climb a level of relationship.

It's not just the entertainment circle, the sports circle, the literature circle and other stylistic influences are all helping Xinlang Weibo to build momentum.

Under such a good situation, Weibo Night is here!
