Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

Looking carefully at the keywords put by this customer, my heart was turbulent for a while.

This is really a difficult list for him.

How could he not know what the client was thinking?

For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma.

"catch?"

"Still not accepting?"

This is a problem.

Chapter 141: Play Online Games

"I fork, what's the situation?"

"Why didn't you bind me a keyword?"

"Is this trying to blackmail my money?"

The next day, Chen Yu opened Baidu, searched, and found that the keywords he put in yesterday did not enter the search bar.Chen Yu felt a little strange. He logged into the background of the enterprise version again and found that the 100 million funds were still on it.

"strangeness?"

Logically speaking, since the money has been received, it should be put into promotion immediately.

But if you don't accept the money, then refund the money.

However, Chen Yu understood somewhat when he thought that the PPC had just been launched.

"Maybe Baidu hasn't figured it out yet."

This business is really a little tricky for them.

Neither is it, nor is it not.

Afraid of being scolded.

After all, although the Internet laws are not perfect for the time being, it is not considered illegal, but it is morally wrong.

But if you don't answer, it's 100 million.

Moreover, this is not just 100 million, and the 100 million has been used up and you have to continue to recharge.

It's almost like playing a game.

If you want to become stronger, you have to continue to recharge your money.

Furthermore, this should be the biggest business since Baidu came up with the PPC, and it is impossible for them to give up.

Now that the bidding ranking has been established, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later.

They should figure it out.

After thinking about it, Chen Yu didn't apply for a refund either.

Let Baidu think clearly.

Anyway, this is Baidu's own business, and it's not me being scolded.

Just wait patiently.

"Sister Yang, come here."

After closing the webpage, Chen Yu called Yang Lan over thinking that it would cost a lot of money.

"Mr. Chen, are you looking for me?"

A few minutes later, Yang Lan, who was in charge of the company's finance and taxation, came to Chen Yu's office.

"Ah."

Chen Yu nodded: "Recently, the company has a lot of business and a lot of expenses. If you do the math, how long can we operate normally with our current expenses?"

"Mr. Chen, if it was just our 5173.com, we would have a profit of several million per month. However, since the launch of YY, our expenses have been relatively large. In addition, we have recruited a lot of people recently, and the expenditure on personnel is also large. .In addition, Manager Zhang quoted me two promotional expenses yesterday, which is still a large amount, and I predict that our cash flow will have problems within a year."

"Oh, there's still one piece that I didn't count. I started another promotion business on Baidu."

"How much is this business?"

"About 1 million a month."

"so much?"

"Hey, these bosses are all vampires."

"If this is the case, we may have problems with our cash flow within half a year."

"Half a year."

Chen Yu calculated in his mind.

The time of half a year is very short, flash by.

If there is a problem with cash flow after half a year, it will be very passive for the company.

This passiveness will not cause the company to go bankrupt, and 5173 is profitable anyway.

But the key point is that one's own fantasies may not be able to support it.

After all, YY didn't make much money in the beginning.

Not only YY, even QQ is just now profitable, and the level of profitability is very limited.

The reason why they can still hold on is entirely because they took a piece of financing from MIH last year.

"Mr. Chen, I think we should conduct the first round of financing."

Yang Lan suggested.

"Financing, has any capital contacted us?"

"There are several companies, SoftBank and Sequoia Capital. In addition, Xinlang.com is also very interested in us. Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to tell you that by taking this opportunity, I think we should be able to consider financing."

"Oh, did they make an offer?"

"It's just a new contact, and the specific price needs to be negotiated, but Softbank is more optimistic about us. They said that if they are interested, they will provide no less than 5000 million US dollars as the financing amount."

"5000 million US dollars, how many shares?"

"I will contact them again."

"No more contact."

Chen Yu shook his head: "I'm not against financing, but the cost of financing is too high now."

The Internet is a bottomless pit.

This is also based on this, Internet companies cannot do without financing.

No matter how big a company is, no matter how big an enterprise is, it still needs financing.

Chen Yu is not the kind of person who wants to control 100% of the shares, although he is also very controlling.

But he understands that financing is not only about absorbing capital, but more about using capital to settle things that cannot be settled.

A person's strength is limited after all, the addition of capital can not only make the enterprise develop rapidly, but also avoid a lot of troubles.It's just that Chen Yu couldn't accept that most of the shares had to be sacrificed.

Now that Huanyu Technology is in the growth stage, even if it takes out 10% of the shares for the second time, Chen Yu will feel heartbroken.

Moreover, this is only the initial stage of Internet development. Once everyone burns money, the shares will be diluted faster.

"Mr. Chen, Penguin raised money in the second half of last year. If we didn't raise money, we shouldn't invest so much in the instant messaging business."

"If you don't enter the instant messaging business now, you will have no chance to enter it."

"For the sake of 5173 and YY, financing should be considered now. If we don't raise funds, we may not be able to compete with Penguin."

Going around, financing is the best choice.

But Chen Yu shook his head: "I know, but we may not need financing now. Isn't there still half a year left, can we make enough money ourselves?"

"We make money ourselves?"

Yang Lan was a little confused.

Now the most profitable is the 5173 network.

But no matter how much money 5173.com makes, it is still a middleman after all.

Does a middleman still have game companies to make money?

Just thinking about this, Yang Lan said, "Mr. Chen, you mean we enter the game business?"

"Yes."

How could Chen Yu just be an intermediary website?

He has long wanted to enter the game.

It's just that in order to stabilize the website and launch YY first, the game business has been postponed.

Now it seems that the game business is imperative.

With that said, Chen Yu called Li Nan and Zhang Jianming to the office.

"Mr. Chen, the recommendation code has been found."

"Mr. Chen, Wang Chang has already contacted the founders of the major software companies, and they just need to sign a cooperation contract."

Thinking that Chen Yu was asking about the past, Li Nan and Zhang Jianming reported to Chen Yu.

"Okay, you have done these two things as before, now you are called to talk about another matter?"

"what's up?"

"Are you interested in playing games?"

When talking about games, Zhang Jianming said excitedly.

"Damn it, it's not nonsense."

"I've been waiting for your words."

Zhang Jianming himself is a game enthusiast, even now, he still plays Legend all the time.

Even if he didn't have time to play, he would ask Fatty Wang's studio to help him practice.

As soon as Chen Yu said that, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Uh, Mr. Chen, don't look at me, I don't understand the game technology."

Seeing that Chen Yu was looking at him, Li Nan was a little embarrassed, but still said: "However, I also support making games."

Chapter 142: Proxy Game

"Hehe, it seems that everyone's opinions are highly consistent."

Chen Yu smiled.

But also, who doesn't know that games make money.

People who engage in websites want to engage in online games.

Those who engage in software want to engage in online games.

People who work on computers also want to play online games.

As a game portal website, how come 5173 has no idea of ​​making games?

"Okay, then let's discuss how to do our online games."

Although it was the first time that the game was mentioned, Chen Yu just said it, and Zhang Jianming said: "According to the current situation of the company, it is difficult to develop a game independently, and the development cycle is also long. I think I can represent a game. .”

"Li Nan, what do you think?"

"I agree with Mr. Zhang's opinion."

Although Li Nan is not engaged in game development, he still knows a little about online game technology: "Game development is a relatively complicated project. It takes us at least two years from development to launch. Now that the market is so hot, if we wait two years before If the game is launched, the market may be divided by major game companies. We can represent a game first. However, we cannot always act as an agent. The agency game always puts the decision-making power in the game development company, and we have to remove the agent when it is in operation. cost, and even some game development companies have very harsh conditions..."

"Very thoughtful."

Chen Yu also nodded.
