Xuri Technology is having a meeting, and other Internet companies are also having meetings.
There is a sample made by Chen Shoufu in the front, and a satellite launched by Baidu last year is still shining in the sky. This year Ninetowns has been filled with fuel and is about to take off directly with the help of the Weibo project.
This made other Internet colleagues feel very excited. What about Rising Sun Technology, what about Alibaba, what about Shengda... I want to go international and go public in the United States.
When I successfully go public and turn around, you so-called big guys who are stuck in the country are all younger brothers. Do you know that the King is Returning?
There is only one small step left between me and this goal...
So after the beginning of the new year, all the bosses and employees of all domestic Internet companies are like chicken blood. It seems that as long as they work hard, they will be the richest man in the future, and they will be employees of the future Internet giants!
And when everyone's liver starts to burst with chicken soup.
What Xuri Technology was worried about finally appeared.
On February 14th, the Lantern Festival, which has just ended in the lunar calendar, is the time to usher in the Western Valentine's Day. It seems that Ninetowns is not satisfied with the loss of a Weibo king who has a three-way cooperation with Groom and Samsung at the beginning of the year.
On this day, he held a press conference. Wang couldn't get enough of the bombs, so he threw four 2-bombs.
The rising star The9 directly kicked out Chen Shoufu, who had been rumored before, and bought CC with 60 million domestic users at a high price of 2.43 billion, and currently has 1.2 million+ daily active users.
It stands to reason that everyone can see the brilliant future of instant messaging software, not to mention that Xuri Technology YY has also developed many profit models.
If a CC with 60 million users is really going to be sold, it will definitely cost more than this. After all, it was previously known as a tens of billions enterprise.
Now in an environment where the Internet industry is booming all over the world, for example, 2.43 billion yuan, even in US dollars is not out of the question.
Not to mention anything else, with such a large number of users, if you find some media to brag about it, you can definitely harvest a big wave of leeks in the stock market.
It's a pity that the CC level is not up to par. It was too ugly for foreign financing to expand international business and avoid YY's domestic blockade to become popular.
At the same time, those big international capitals are simply harsh on the conditions for CC to go abroad and be fired.
Now its reputation in China is bad. It has 60 million registered users and only 1.2 million daily active users. It can be seen that CC is really not popular in China.
After all, this is a chat software, not a game. If you log in to an account in a game, it’s impossible not to play it.
But for chat software, where can you log in to upgrade your account? Since the chat software hierarchy came out, many netizens have upgraded their accounts in order to hang stars and moons. They only hang these accounts on a computer without doing anything else.
Therefore, there are only so many users who are stuck in logging in, which is not ordinary.
Coupled with the fact that international capital has blocked CC's internationalization, nearly 90% of CC's controlling stake has been taken away by coercion and inducement.
Looking back now, I see that the sale of CC's domestic business is still worth so much money, and I want a piece of the pie.
As a result, the management of CC made a prompt decision and stopped fighting with Ninetowns. They quickly cut the knot and packaged and sold all these businesses to Ninetowns.
And Ninetowns took the opportunity to poach a large number of employees.
Now the priorities have shifted. Although international capital still has an absolute advantage, the half-disabled CC is not easy to mess with.
Anyway, a large amount of money has already been put into your pocket. If you want to talk, we can continue to talk. The conditions must be changed. If we don't talk about it, we'll pull it down. I'll sell my old company and have enough money for the rest of my life, so I can just retire and enjoy life.
Compared to CC who just broke the rules in this matter, MM seemed to be more strategic.
In other words, he is another boss with a very high level of face-changing.
Originally, the negotiations with foreign capital were almost done, and all the staff of MM Company were waiting for the signing and sealing to go abroad to work hard.
As a result, in addition to this issue in CC now, Ninetowns is eyeing MM after winning CC, and there is a more enthusiastic Baidu next to it.
This market situation is suddenly different, compared to the various scandals that broke out before CC and were accused of being traitors. MM is much more arrogant. There have been rumors on the Internet, but no evidence has been produced.
Therefore, although the total registered users are similar to CC, the total active users are 2.6 million+, which is more than twice that of CC.
Now that two Cheng Yaojins were killed at once, the price naturally could not be as high as previously negotiated.
Otherwise, MM's top management is also planning to package and sell MM's domestic business to use the money to advance the retirement community. If I quit, you will bite my eggs?
So Ninetowns first bombed the portal and cooperated with international chaebols to dump Weibo, then turned around and ate CC and hit four 2s. The two bombs instantly blew up the entire domestic Internet industry. It was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
Then... Xuri Technology felt a little confused, and other Internet companies were even more excited. This is an era where all heroes are emerging. I was born in this era and it’s okay for me to have sex with me.
In addition, countless capital eyes have been focused on this industry, and all kinds of hot money are pouring in. At the beginning of 2006, the most topical topic was not Alibaba's e-commerce, Gome's home appliances, or eye-catching real estate, but the Internet gaming industry and instant messaging software.
Boss Chen has taken off, and Ninetowns has begun to build its own aircraft carrier with the help of Demon Realm. It looks like it is trying to catch up with Baidu. The game industry, which was originally despised at the low end of the industry, suddenly became popular and became the focus of major Internet companies. The company feels that it can be the core of industry creation.
"Free CC space music, free CC space background board, free CC level upgrade gift pack, free..." Looking at Lin Wei talking to reporters at the press conference, Yang Dongxu rubbed his temples .
The situation where the instant messaging software was already a sure thing to dominate the world has now turned into a confrontation between two heroes. If Baidu works harder to win MM, it will return to the situation of the Three Kingdoms.
And even though CC and MM flashed their waists before, I can't help but think that the two new bosses have thick thighs now.
Coupled with the above concerns about YY's monopoly on the instant messaging software market, given some competitive benefits, Yang Dongxu's side is not an ordinary headache.
"Shall we..." Qiu Bosong said.
"It's meaningless." Yang Dongxu shook his head, "Eating CC and thinking about swallowing MM, it's obvious that there are big benefactors behind it, and there are more than one.
Some paid items in our space are free, and members who upgrade to higher levels are free. What we will face in the future will definitely be an endless price war. They are not short of money, and we are not short of money, and we will not charge any fees for these projects in the future. "
This battle cannot be started, and there is no way to stop it once it starts.
Because whoever stops first will give netizens the impression that they can’t do it anymore. Such an impression can be very fatal. Because human beings basically have the temperament of stepping down and climbing high, this impression will remain, which gives Jiucheng an opportunity to attack Rising Sun Technology.
"But if we don't make it free, CC users will still have feelings for their accounts. They will be attracted by these benefits and may sign up again." Qiu Bosong frowned and said.
Don't look at CC's previous revelations that it was negotiating with international capital on conditions that would be humiliating and humiliating the country, causing CC users to publicly boycott CC or even delete their accounts.
But many people still have feelings for their personal CC accounts. After all, they have been using them for several years. Even if you no longer chat with your friends in it, those friends just stay there, and no one wants to delete the photos and other things in the space.
It seems like it has happened in the future, but QQ is still hanging.
It’s no longer needed, but the feelings I invested before are still there. You can use it, but you can’t throw it away.
The9 acquired CC, and the negotiation scandals that broke out before CC will no longer be a problem. So as long as CC users are attracted by these welfare conditions and log in to CC again, the stickiness will be there. CC users will experience a huge explosion in the number of people online in the next period of time, and it is not impossible to return to the peak directly.
Log in to the CC account again. Even if you don't invest money in this account, the investment of time is a kind of emotional bondage. It is basically impossible for the user to lose it in the future.
"This is something that cannot be avoided. What we can do is let users invest more time and energy in YY. Let users think that YY has always been better than CC in terms of price.
In this way, even if CC restores the previous user data, even if Baidu takes down MM later, they will come in. As long as we are number one, we will have an absolute advantage. "Yang Dongxu pondered for a moment and said.
Qiu Bosong nodded. It is said that there is no first place in literature and no second place in military power. In the Internet industry, especially in the chat software that everyone uses, there is still a big gap between the first and second place in the hearts of users.
"In this way, while optimizing the existing version of YY, the upgraded version prepared previously will be released. Then other icons will be added where the space icon is placed under YY.
For example, you can add album icons, mailbox icons and game icons. As long as the corresponding function icon is enabled, it will light up.
For example, when playing Fantasy, as long as you reach level 20, the Fantasy icon will light up, creating a topic to heat up this comparison. Then the bubble hall was launched, and the development of karts was accelerated.
Also, since Ninetowns provides so many benefits, it would be outrageous for us not to provide them at all. Free is impossible, so be it. YY member users will receive discounts when recharging to Xuri Technology users.
Let’s start with 50 yuan. If you top up the point card with 50 yuan, you can get a 9.92% discount or something. The space yellow diamond business is linked to web games.
Don’t some strategy games have building upgrades and general training and upgrades that have a long time limit? The upgrade time for opening yellow diamonds has been reduced to a certain extent. Also notify the group lawyers to prepare. "
"Lawyer?" Qiu Bosong was stunned for a moment.
Originally, he admired Su Mu's improvised coping strategies, thinking that the boss was indeed the boss.
They came up with so many countermeasures in a matter of minutes, and it seemed that they were going to further bind YY and the game department to crush Ninetowns with their absolute strength.
So why are you looking for a lawyer all of a sudden?
"Lawyer! Now that we are ready to start a full-scale war, we can no longer be polite. Forget about some of YY's original functions. After all, this instant messaging software is not domestic.
Our copyrights are all bought from abroad. They imitate some functions of YY. It is unclear to say that it is a basic upgrade.
But our games, especially games like Bubble Hall, Go-Kart, and Audition.
If they dare to imitate, they will sue. Use all your strength this time, don't get into trouble anymore, just sue and there must be a result, and the result must be as soon as possible. Now that they have shown their swords, they still want to follow behind and imitate eating bad money, not to mention that there are no doors or windows. "
"I understand." Qiu Bosong nodded and understood what his big boss meant.
This is an attitude, not only when facing Ninetowns or Baidu, the two competitors behind them, but also an attitude toward the higher-ups.
Aren’t the officials afraid that YY’s dominance will lead to a monopoly on the market and the last one will be unable to get rid of it?
Okay, you can support Ninetowns or Baidu, and you are willing to work with YY on some functions. This is indeed a bit unclear.
But Ninetowns, or Baidu, is not just imitating the functions of YY, but also imitating other game projects of Xuri Technology. Isn't this a bit too rogue?
There has to be a limit to stretching the frame, right?
Therefore, a tough attitude must be taken here. Children who cry will be fed by milk. At this time, YY can't help but cry and scream.
As long as the above is not overly biased, don't you have to get entangled in instant messaging software?
I will directly crush you to death with the excellent size of the game. How many years can you survive in a Demon Realm?
Without the endless stream of excellent games as a bundle, it’s just an instant chat software to see how long you can bind users.
And not only these newly developed games, but also the games currently in the YY game hall cannot be compromised.
In short, don’t even think about casual users whether they are CC or MM.
Even if they can come up with chess, Go, and Landlords, they can't help it if they say they are adapted from real-life games.
What do you say about the Frozen Throne games that are actually copyrighted games?
In short, if you have the ability, you can also develop new and excellent games and let us fight head-on!
If you don't have the ability, just be your second, third, or boss position.
