Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

Relying on the 17173 website, Sohu also has a certain position in the game field.

However, although the 17173 network exists now, after the 5173 exerts its strength, the 17173 network gradually cannot keep up with the rhythm.

Chen Yu thought that 17173 was destroyed, but unexpectedly, 17173 was still acquired by Sohu.

Moreover, this time it was acquired in advance.

"Mr. Chen, you are amazing."

Wang Chang admired him in his heart, and said, "Mr. Chen, this news has just come out, and it is expected to have little impact on us in the short term. But after all, it is one of the four major sects, so we must act in advance."

At present, the domestic Internet is most famous for its four major portals.

Although Sohu lags far behind in later generations, Sohu is still very powerful now.

Relying on Sohu's traffic advantage, they are likely to catch up with 5173 quickly.

"let me see."

Wang Chang's proposal is correct.

If you want to destroy 17173, it is to kill 17173 in the cradle.

Although Sohu has acquired 17173, it has not acted yet, and Chen Yu still has a certain amount of time.

"Wang Chang, activate the advertising strategy and immediately send our advertisements to major websites, Tianya, Chinese, and major game forums, including the four major portals."

"The four major sects, it's too expensive to spend so much."

"It's okay, smash it."

"Is Sohu smashing it too?"

"You can try it, and disgust them."

"it is good."

Wang Chang hung up the phone and immediately prepared to conduct advertising business negotiations with major websites.

"Mr. Chen, Sohu made a move?"

"Well, I've ordered Wang Chang to contact the major websites for advertising cooperation."

"Mr. Chen, we won't be able to last long if we smash the advertisement like this."

Zhang Jianming hesitated, and said: "The second-tier websites are okay. We have some friendship with them, and the advertising fees can be lower, but the advertising fees of the major portals are very expensive. If we spend like this, the cash flow we have finally accumulated will be lost. To smash in."

"I know, we're only going to hit them for a while, we'll catch them off guard first, and then we'll buy a certain amount of time."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yu called Li Nan over.

"Li Nan, prepare our guild system immediately."

"Guild system?"

Li Nan didn't understand: "Mr. Chen, what is the guild system?"

"It's a space that belongs to the guild."

Chen Yu made a metaphor: "Anyone can create a guild, and any guild can also create a space that belongs to the guild."

"In this space, you can publish some guild content, you can post pictures, you can post advertisements, you can also post posts, you can recruit new members...etc. It is equivalent to a small website. However, this website is Our subpage, but the guild can use this subpage to display their own advertisements for a certain amount of display.”

"Just a guild forum?"

Li Nan thought for a while and said.

"It can also be said, but it has more functions than the forum, and it is also more private. Because this belongs to them, they have their own home here."

"I understand."

As soon as he mentioned his own home, Li Nan understood what kind of system it was.

At the same time, he also understood what role this guild system has for them.

Chapter 100: Chat Room

"Li Nan, wait, there is one more thing."

Li Nan was about to leave when Chen Yu said again.

"President Chen, what's the matter?"

"Well, how long will it take for you to start an instant message now?"

"Mr. Chen, are you really going to engage in instant messaging?"

Li Nan was excited.

He had known for a long time that it was impossible for Chen Yu to engage in game websites all the time.

That's not to say gaming sites don't have a future.

The game website has a future, but no matter how promising it is, it is not as promising as instant messaging.

"Here, try it first, but our positioning is a little different from ordinary instant messaging."

"Mr. Chen, can you tell me what you think?"

"This...it's hard to say right now."

"The technology of instant messaging is not very difficult, and I can figure it out in a day."

"No way."

Chen Yu was dumbfounded: "It was done in a day, did you hang it up?"

"Hehe, Mr. Chen, don't forget that I developed UC back then, and I have the source code of UC here."

"The source code of UC?"

Chen Yu was taken aback, and said, "Isn't this Xinlang's?"

"Xinlang had an initial investment intention at the time, but then Penguin was too powerful, and our UC failed. Later, Xinlang wanted to develop it by itself, and then our UC team disbanded, and the source code finally belonged to me. .”

"Is there any problem with copyright?"

"I can assure you that there is no problem, the source code is now completely mine."

"Okay, the company will buy your UC source code for 10 yuan."

"Mr. Chen, not so much."

"It's okay, who told me that you gave me a surprise, I thought it would take several months to get it done. Since you have the UC source code, that's great. You can modify the source code later, and add a new Function."

"What function?"

"chatroom."

Li Nan was a little puzzled: "Isn't adding a chat room to instant messaging a step backward in technology? Besides, with instant messaging, it seems that there is no need for a chat room."

In the early days of the Internet, forums and chat rooms were popular.

Everyone may have used the forum.

As for the chat room, there are some like the current live broadcast room.

It's just that the live broadcast is audio-visual, but the early chat rooms are text.

Everyone entered this chat room because of a topic, and talked about everything.

Only later with the advent of instant messaging, chat rooms slowly declined.

Chen Yu said that adding a chat room to instant messaging, for Li Nan, is indeed a technical regression.

"Technically speaking, there are indeed some regressions, but instant messaging is not the whole of social networking. Although chat rooms will gradually be replaced by instant messaging, in many cases instant messaging cannot replace chat rooms. You make it first, and when the time comes You will know the effect. Of course, the guild system will be completed first."

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

Although I still don't understand it in my heart, but as Chen Yu said, we will see the effect after making it.

……

Sohu Game Division.

Sohu, one of the four major portals, recently saw that NetEase is making a lot of money in games, and Zhang Chaoyang, who has always been a veteran, couldn't sit still. He established a Sohu game branch and prepared to enter the field of online games .

However, it is different from NetEase.

Although Sohu also makes games, in addition to making games by itself, he also plans to develop a game portal.

After all, it started as a portal website, and Zhang Chaoyang is too aware of the role of the portal website.

In this way, the production and promotion are all in their own hands, so why worry about their own games not being popular, this is called being prepared.

For this reason, Sohu immediately acquired 17173.com.

Of course, what Sohu originally wanted to acquire was 5173, but after some calculations, some of them were not cost-effective.After all, the dot-com bubble in 2000 left Sohu with little money to spare, and its pockets were tight. Otherwise, it would never have thought of making money in games.Thinking about it this way, it would be better to buy a 17173 that has some experience but doesn't need much money.

With the diversion of its own Sohu portal, 17173 can definitely win 5173 quickly.

At this time, Gu Yongqiang was in charge of the Sohu Game Division.

Gu Yongqiang went to Australia to study at the age of 14, and later was admitted to Berkeley, California, majoring in economics.After graduating, he worked for Bain Capital for a period of time, and later returned to China to enter Fuguo Investment, and became famous in the investment field. In 1998, Gu Yongqiang began to pay attention to the Internet, and met Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu.Originally, Gu Yongqiang wanted to invest in Sohu, but Zhang Chaoyang found that Gu Yongqiang was very compatible with him, so he directly said, don't invest in me, and come to Sohu as the president.

With the joining of Gu Yongqiang, and because of Gu Yongqiang's capital background.Sohu developed rapidly in a short period of time, and was listed in the United States for the first time.

This time Sohu set up an online game branch, Zhang Chaoyang sent Gu Yongqiang, it can be seen that Sohu attaches great importance to online games.

"Mr. Gu, I didn't expect 5173 to counterattack so fast."

"As soon as we signed the contract, 5173 frantically advertised on major websites."

"If the fight continues like this, it may be very difficult for us 17173 to get up."

It was Cai Zongjian, the founder of 17173, who spoke to Gu Yongqiang.

Cai Zongjian wears a pair of glasses and looks very gentle.

He was originally just a game enthusiast, and initially founded 17173 purely as a hobby.

He likes to collect a series of information about online games, but gradually the traffic of 17173 is getting bigger and bigger. He found that this hobby can be regarded as his career, so he began to fully devote himself to the construction of 17173.It's just a pity that 17173 didn't develop for too long, and 5173 was killed halfway.

Cai Zongjian, who had little funds, quickly lost out in the 5173 competition.

Originally, this time it was acquired by Sohu, Cai Zongjian thought he could quickly kill 5173 with the help of traffic from Sohu's portal.But before they could make any moves, 5173 quickly killed them.

"Xiao Cai, I investigated 5173, and they don't have much money to spend on advertisements. They may not be able to survive if they spend at most a week."

"But we are a little passive like this, and their advertising slogans are too shameless, and the 5173 game is the number one portal. It is still unknown who will be the first and who will be the second."

"Don't worry about this. When they can't afford it, our brand new game channel will be officially launched."

"Ok."

Cai Zongjian nodded, and then said: "By the way, Mr. Gu, I heard that 5173 also sent an advertisement to our Sohu?"

"There is such a thing."

"Isn't this a disgusting person? Do you still want us, Sohu, to advertise him?"

"It really disgusts us."

Gu Yongqiang smiled: "However, what is this disgusting, I asked the people in the advertising department to agree."

"Ah, Mr. Gu, really advertise for them."

"The money delivered to the door is not profitable. Besides, how long can they last? Don't worry, 5173 is just a small website. If we make a move from Sohu Portal, can't we destroy a small website?"

Patting Cai Zongjian on the shoulder, Gu Yongqiang drank tea leisurely.

Chapter 101: Evening Self-study

"Fang Ting, Huanyu Technology is very powerful, and even established a branch in Shenzhen City."

"In addition, they also recruited 5 staff members of the University of Wu Province."

"I have two students who are reused by their company. One is in charge of operations, the second in command, and the other is in charge of planning. They rank fifth in the company."

Huatian technical school Zhang Xin said excitedly to Liu Fangting.

In recent days, Huatian Technical Secondary School has sent some teachers and some students to inspect the latest office site of Huanyu Technology.Unexpectedly, Huanyu Technology has developed so much in a short period of time.

It's just that Liu Fangting on one side lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
