Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

At the end of 2003, the White Dragon Consortium participated in Shanda's last round of financing.

In fact, Shanda Network was not short of money at that time. With Legend as a cash cow, Chen Qiao could make money without doing anything.

But Chen Qiao was a man with lofty ideals. He always wanted to build an online Disney. Such a dream required a lot of money to maintain.

Wang Lei gave Chen Qiao an irresistible reason: to help it go public on NASDAQ!

If the listing is successful, Shanda Games will become the first game manufacturer in Longguo to be listed in the United States.

Chen Qiao had no reason to refuse and accepted the huge investment from the White Dragon Consortium.

After accepting the financing, Chen Qiao immediately set his sights on the Internet's first original website, Endpoint Literature Network, and then incorporated many celebrity literature websites at the time.

Capitalize the operation of online novel websites.

After completing the construction of the online literature section, he turned his attention to traditional TVs.

At this time, he found that the financing money had been spent, so he found Wang Lei to discuss Shanda's listing.

"So, you are going public to raise funds to make this box?"

"Mr. Wang, it's not a box, it's a Shanda Net box!"

Seeing Chen Qiao's expression of "you don't understand my idea", Wang Lei was a little speechless. Shanda Box was more than ten years earlier than Xiaomi Box and Tmall Magic Box.

But to be honest, Ali's Tmall Magic Box project ended in failure, and Wang Lei was not optimistic about Chen Qiao's super-time project.

This is also the fact. The box project cost billions, but only 20 units were sold in the end!

However, Wang Lei would not say these words to Chen Qiao, but just agreed:

"I support Shanda's listing in the United States, you submit the listing review application."

With Wang Lei's words, the White Dragon Consortium's special listing department moved into Shanda and began to help Shanda impact IPO.

Xiao Ma Ge, who heard the news, also found Wang Lei.

"Mr. Wang, you can't lose sight of one thing while focusing on the other. We are serious in the field of games, and we have also completed the bet."

Xiao Ma Ge was really anxious. Their Penguin recently also represented several games of Han Country, which could be launched at any time.

After several advertising diversions, the number of online users of the game platform is about to exceed 10 million.

But at this time, he heard the news that Shanda was about to go public in the United States.

Xiao Ma Ge, who had always regarded Shanda as a target to catch up, could not sit still.

Both parties were pioneers of Longguo Internet companies at this time. Penguin, which had a huge number of users, extended its tentacles to various fields.

As the most profitable Internet company, Shanda has overshadowed the three major portals and is the real big brother of Longguo Internet.

Xiao Ma Ge was anxious because his game industry had just started. If Shanda went public first, Shanda, which had a lot of funds, would definitely expand rapidly again, which would put Penguin's layout at a disadvantage.

Wang Lei certainly felt Xiao Ma Ge's urgency. In the original history, Shanda Games' suppression of Penguin lasted until 2008.

President Chen Qiao, who was not interested in this, finally gave up his position as the game overlord, and Penguin officially became the new generation of game overlord in Longguo.

Wang Lei was naturally not in a hurry. Anyway, they were all working for him, and Penguin would sooner or later become the most profitable company.

However, he still said:

"You go and make a game where Penguin friends can steal vegetables, water, and kill insects from each other in the space."

"As long as we make this game well, Penguin can be listed in Hong Kong City?"

"Yes, I guarantee that this game will surprise you. If the daily activity and usage time of Penguin Space go up a level, I guarantee that Penguin's stock price will not be much lower than Shanda."

At this time, Penguin relied on the game center to break through, and indeed achieved a little success, but the agent "Triumph" is hard to describe. It has very high requirements for computer and network configuration. Legend players are already fighting for Sand City, and Triumph players are still on the way to loading.

Fortunately, board games have left Penguin with a large number of online users.

But going public in this way is far from enough. In the original history, Penguin, which was listed in the same year as Shanda, had an issue price of only 2 yuan and a market value of several billion Hong Kong dollars.

The market value is not low, but it is far from Shanda's stock price of 17 US dollars.

Penguin is the son of the White Dragon Consortium anyway, so Wang Lei thought of the once popular stealing vegetable game.

Renren.com was once popular because of this game, and its influence in social networking even overshadowed Penguin.

Many people stayed up late to calculate the time for harvesting and stealing vegetables.

It is considered an original social game.

But Pony Ma didn't take it seriously when he heard the concept of the game.

He just took it as a big boss's explanation..

His game planner, who was hired from Shanda, discovered the secret of the gameplay. The design concept of this game is very magical!

In the past, all the games he participated in designing can be regarded as a strong interactive platform.

Everyone must be online at the same time and must go online at the same time to participate in activities, such as fighting the world boss together and participating in siege battles.

What matters is unity and cooperation. If you are brothers, come and chop me together.

But the stealing vegetable game is a very novel weak interactive attempt. Everyone does not need to go online at the same time. If you steal one of my vegetables, I will go online secretly the next day to steal ten of yours. This goes on and on, and you get a great sense of accomplishment from the friend rankings.

The game concept seems simple, but it is a powerful tool for social platforms to ignite topics.

This game planner has been thinking about how to use an interactive game to take Penguin Space's daily activity to the next level.

For a while, he was shocked by the game plan sent to him by his boss.

He immediately set up a project team and rushed to make this game overnight.

With enthusiasm and love for work, they completed the preliminary test of the game in just half a month.

During this period, the game content was constantly enriched and some krypton gold elements were added.

Until one day, he found Xiao Ma Ge with dark circles under his eyes.

"Boss, the game you asked me to customize is ready. Open this web link and you can participate in the experience."

"So fast?"

Xiao Ma Ge was a little bit unbelievable. This was the listing task that Wang Lei told him to complete. This game planner he hired with a lot of money would not be perfunctory to him.

But when he saw that the other party had dark circles under his eyes and looked like he was about to die, he wisely closed his mouth to blame.

The other party must be developing games day and night. Thinking of this, he was deeply moved and said:

"Okay, very good, you go back and have a good rest first, I will allow you two days of paid vacation!"

The game planner heard this and wanted to remind his boss, but then he was replaced by a bad taste. He left the company with a smile that Xiao Ma Ge couldn't understand.

"This game is very simple, and the farming element is quite novel, but it's not something that Mr. Wang would take so seriously."

After handing over water and fertilizer to the flowers, Xiao Ma put the game aside.

When he finished his work and went online again, he found that the few vegetable plots he had worked so hard to open were half plucked out.

Checking the vegetable stealing records, he found that the one who stole the most vegetables was the game planner who was rejected by him for the holiday!
