My 1999

Chapter 296 Pangu’s Future

There are three games in development.

They are "The World", "Dragon" and "Kart Racing".

Throughout the 2001 fiscal year, the most popular game under Hongmeng Games was "Legend of Legend 2". From its official operation to the present, a total of 23 million people have registered, and an average of more than 650,000 people are online every day. It is truly the number one game in China.

Through "Legend 2", the company created revenue of 420 million Chinese coins and a net profit of 160 million Chinese coins in 2001.

In addition, in 2002, the large-scale martial arts online game "Tianxia", which has been developed by Dijiang Studio for two years, will be officially launched. "

Xu Liang couldn't help but sigh. Since Hongmeng was founded, "Tianxia" has existed. There have been nearly 20 internal and public tests in total. After two years of research and development, it is finally time to go on the market.

"When are you going to officially go public?"

"On February 1, 2002, it was officially launched for operation. Half a month later, on February 15, charging officially started." Wu Xifan said.

"It's just in time for the Chinese New Year. Can you make it in time?" Xu Liang asked.

"Okay. I have already informed the people below that anyone who is willing to work overtime during the Spring Festival will receive three times the salary and will be given priority in promotion and appointment."

Xu Liang nodded.

The butt determines the head. In the past, when he heard about overtime work, he would feel disgusted and secretly cursed the boss for being exploitative and not a human being.

Listening to Overtime now, I feel inexplicably happy.

"Pay attention to calming the emotions of employees."

"yes."

After waving Wu Xifan to sit down, Xu Liang looked around the crowd and landed on a fat man wearing a black suit, a round face, and black-rimmed glasses.

"Lao Shang, you are the third one."

Shang Zhengfeng was stunned for a moment. He originally thought it would be Bing Ying's turn next.

After all, everyone knows that this is what the big boss wants.

Shang Zhengfeng said, calming down.

“As of now, the number of Hongmeng Pay users has exceeded 5.7 million. At present, we mainly rely on short-term investment profits from the small amounts of cash left by users in their personal accounts. However, the monthly revenue is only about 8 million, and there is currently no way to cover the revenue. .

In addition, our profit model of adding advertisements to the homepage was also rejected by the head office.

Therefore, it will be difficult for us to truly make a profit in a short period of time. "

Xu Liang nodded, and it was his order to veto Hongmeng Pay's advertising, so as not to damage the user experience of Hongmeng Pay.

As for the real profit model of Hongmeng Pay, he also knows it very well, but now is not the time.

Hongmeng is not large enough to withstand the wrath of the five major banks in the country.

I can only endure it temporarily.

"Lao Shang, how many companies have signed online payment cooperation agreements with Hongmeng Pay now?" Xu Liang asked.

"There are currently 18 companies including China Eastern Airlines, Ctrip, Dangdang, and Joyo."

"What about China Unicom and China Mobile?"

"China Mobile is still negotiating, but China Unicom has refused."

"Why China Unicom?"

"They think our online payment is unsafe and refuse to cooperate with us."

Xu Liang frowned, looking helpless.

The pioneering stage of Internet finance is always very difficult.

"China Unicom will let it go first and focus on mobile."

"yes."

Xu Liang turned his eyes and said, "Fuyong, you are next."

Hideo Fukunaga nodded and took out the documents he had prepared long ago.

"In the entire fiscal year 2001, Hongmeng Japan generated revenue of 2.83 billion Chinese dollars and net profit of 572 million Chinese dollars. Internet search has replaced games as the company's most profitable department, accounting for 30% of the total revenue.

The further development direction of the Internet business will be to follow the footsteps of the head office, expand advertising users, and enter the outdoor advertising market... "

Subsidiary reports are cumbersome and time-consuming, but they must be listened to.

One after another, this annual meeting lasted for three days before it was over.

"Lao Xie, Lao Fang, you guys come to my office."

Xie Wen and Fang Dexin, HR of Hongmeng Company, came to Xu Liang’s office.

Xu Liang said after Lu Hui served tea to the three of them.

"Lao Fang, your next task is to contact the major human resources organizations and ask them to help us find top talents who are proficient in database research and development."

"Database development?"

Fang Dexin instantly thought of Pangu Company, which was only an empty shell.

"That's right. The next development direction of Pangu Company is big data and cloud computing. To realize these two major businesses, a powerful database is the foundation." Xu Liangdao.

"Mr. Xu, during this period, I investigated the information of foreign "non-relational database" research and development companies, and there are still many choices..."

Xu Liang interrupted Xie Wen.

"Lao Xie, I understand what you mean. If I can buy it, of course I won't be stingy with money. But foreign database companies can only handle tens of millions of data.

The database software I want needs to handle billions or even billions of data.

The gap is too big. "

Xie Wen frowned, he didn't want to give up his idea easily.

"Mr. Xu, there are currently less than 50 million Internet users in the country."

"I know, but as leaders of Internet companies, we must not only look at the present, but also focus on the long term. China has a population of nearly 1.4 billion, and the world has nearly 7 billion.

Although most of the potential is far from being developed, we at Hongmeng must prepare in advance.

Only in this way can we always stand at the forefront of technological development and not be eliminated by the times. "Xu Liang said in a condensed voice.

"Lao Xie, I know that after acquiring Sina, the company's financial situation is not ideal. However, you should also see that Bing's revenue is rising rapidly. It is foreseeable that it will become the company's third company after Hongmeng Games. Two growth poles.

I assure you, we have enough money to do database research and development work. And it will never delay the development of the company's other businesses. "Xu Liang continued.

Xie Wen nodded and said nothing more.

Xu Liang is the boss of the company after all, so saying so much has given him enough respect.

It would be disrespectful to stop him again.

——

The clouds stopped and the rain stopped, and Sun Mingzhen lay on the bed tiredly. After resting for a long time, she finally regained some strength.

Look at the man next to you.

"When will you go to South Korea again?"

"So reluctant to leave me?"

Sun Mingzhen pressed her head against the man's chest, her voice full of attachment, "Oppa is my only man."

Stroking her smooth and white back, Xu Liang thought for a moment and then said.

"I will go there after the Chinese New Year to see my uncle and aunt."

"real?"

"certainly."

Xu Liang nodded affirmatively.

"Oppa, that's great."

"You are my woman, I won't treat anyone well if I don't treat you well."

Xu Liang smiled.

After being cozy for a while, the conversation between the two quickly turned to work.

"Let's go back and sell the entire website this time. The price can be appropriately lower, but we must sign the same binding terms as those in China and not give Google or other companies a chance." Xu Liang said.

Although under the impact of Pangu Browser, the number of new users of the website directory is getting smaller and smaller, but it is still a good portal, so you should still be vigilant.

"Don't worry, Dad, I understand."

"Other businesses continue to advance according to previous plans, especially Internet search, which is a top priority."

"Um."

After a serious explanation, the two hugged each other and fell asleep.

——

The next day, let the Golden Eagle take Sun Mingzhen back to South Korea.

Drive to the ideal building.

Sina's headquarters is still here.

Compared with last time, Sina's scale is much larger.

Not long after Xu Liang arrived at the office prepared for him, Wang Zhidong came over.

"Mr. Xu."

"Sit down and talk."

Lu Hui quickly served tea to the two of them.

"Is Sina Wireless's business good?" Xu Liang said with a smile.

Wang Zhidong nodded, excitement showing on his face.

Although it has only been more than two months since joining Monternet, Sina's wireless revenue has exceeded 30 million in January 2002, and is growing rapidly. Not surprisingly, it will exceed 35 million in February.

Coupled with Sina's monthly advertising revenue of nearly 85 million Huaxia coins.

Sina not only turned a loss into a profit, but also made a monthly profit of more than 40 million Huaxia coins.

However, now Sina has been delisted from Nasdaq, otherwise the stock price will definitely double.

"Thanks to Mr. Xu for his guidance, otherwise Sina almost missed one of the most important profit points."

"Don't be too happy. The wireless business will only be booming for a few years."

Wang Zhidong was shocked, "Why? Could there be any changes in the middle?"

"Of course. The reason why the wireless business is so profitable is because China Mobile gives 85% of its profits to SP content service providers. When the market is developed, do you think China Mobile will give you so much?"

Wang Zhidong fell silent.

Capital is all about profit. If it were him as the mobile boss, he wouldn't be willing to give up such huge profits to others.

Xu Liang continued: "When China Mobile lowers its profit share, in order to increase its profits as much as possible, SP content service providers will naturally play tricks on the content, such as pornography and violence, forced customization, text message traps, and unsubscription. It’s hard to wait.

Of course, the most deadly of these is not yet known.

As bandwidth speeds get faster and hardware continues to develop, mobile phone functions will become more and more powerful. When the mobile era comes, Monternet will be completely dead. "

Wang Zhidong had watched the video of the big boss’s speech at Stanford University and knew his judgment on the future development of the Internet.

"So, the wireless business can only be used as a source of profit in a short period of time. News, games, and Tieba content are Sina's future?" Wang Zhidong asked.

Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad. In the future, Sina will be the largest news aggregation website in the Chinese language, providing the most professional and people-friendly news content.

Games, Tieba, and email are all supplements to Sina.

By the way, has Tieba been developed now? "

"The development has been completed and is currently in the promotion stage." Wang Zhidong said.

"Tieba is a community website. If you want to expand its influence, entertainment stars are the most suitable entry point. They have many fans and can quickly expand the situation."
