Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: February 25, 2004}

{Location: Flower Planting-Special Zone}

At noon on February 25, 2004, smoke filled an office in Shanghai. Several young people were gathering together. Their sad faces were mixed with other expressions. Some seemed to be depressed, and some looked like they were depressed.

It's relief. Everyone is different, but they all have the same struggle on their complicated faces.

Silence spread in this office for a long time, and finally a short-haired man among them broke the atmosphere.

He threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, raised his head and said to one of the bald heads, "Ting Feng, I don't understand. If you can't run it well in our hands, it will be better if you hand it over to others."

Should you do it yourself? If it doesn’t bring benefits, will others kick it away one day?”

The full name of the bald man named Ting Feng was Ning Ting Feng. He raised his head and glanced at the short-haired man, and saw a hint of reluctance on his pretending to be relaxed face.

He glanced at the other people and found that each of them had the same expression on their faces at this moment.

Shang Xuesong, Wu Wenhui, Hou Qingchen, Luo Li, these guys who have worked together are tired, but no one wants to give up. In order to reach that dream, most of everyone's passion and energy have been consumed. But when

After Shang Xuesong expressed his feelings, he still aroused the reluctance in other people's hearts.

These like-minded partners who have gathered together at Xilu BBS since November 2001, it took more than 2 years and 3 months to turn the earliest fantasy literature association into today's Qidianhua.com. And it took such a long time to establish

It is really not easy to say that it is really not easy to conquer the current sky in the Internet literature where all the heroes are coming together.

No one is really willing to give up, but what can you do if you don’t give up?

Thinking of this, Ning Tingfeng put out his cigarette butt and decided to say something.

"In the past year, Huanjian made a mistake in business layout, which allowed us to widen the gap with them. Who would have thought that it would be the outage incident during the Chinese New Year, but the distance between us and Huanjian that we had finally opened would be further reduced.

We gave it away and sent it back.

It can be said that the development of online literature to this point, especially the battle between us and the Phantom Arrow, is more about who can take the first step on the right path, who can make fewer mistakes in the process of growing up, and who can finally succeed.

Go further."

Ning Tingfeng's words brought several people back to those days in the past. At the end of the sentence, everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Seeing everyone's desolate expressions, Ning Tingfeng was also helpless, "I actually have nothing to do, because our Qidian Huahua Network has not yet made a stable profit. Although we know that online literature must have a suitable development path, but in the past these

The day is clear to us.

If we don’t have enough development funds, Qidian Flower Network will definitely not be able to survive the day of victory, and our dreams will be disillusioned on the way up. Although for us, introducing capital may not be the best way out. But for us

For the children we have raised with our own hands, capital is the only way to live a better life. As long as there are funds coming in, all the difficulties we are currently facing will change..."

Dong Dong Dong,

The knock on the door rang at this moment.

Several people's expressions tightened,

Everyone looked towards the door.

***+***

Becoming the richest man does not actually change much for Ning Zimo. Especially after returning home, a son is still a son, and a grandson is still a grandson.

But it will be different when I return to work the next day. After all, if I have money, there are many important things that can be accelerated in the way I have money.

Especially, I have a full-time secretary.

Dong Qianqian knocked on the door and stepped aside, waiting quietly for the person inside to open the door.

Thinking of Ning Zimo's move to knock on the door just now, she snickered in her heart.

This time they came to the Magic City as a group of three. In addition to her and Ning Zimo, they also had Wu Zhenyu from Coldplay Technology. Logically speaking, he didn't need to knock on the door at all, but he didn't have the airs of a boss at all. But that's okay.

, at least it would make her clearer that being his secretary is not actually that difficult. As long as she does her job well, she can still do a very competent job.

Suddenly there were footsteps approaching from inside the door. As the sound got closer and closer, the door was pulled open from the inside.

A strong smell of smoke hit her face, causing Dong Qianqian to wrinkle her nose and temporarily block her breathing.

The person at the door saw her actions and quickly turned around and put out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray.

I don't know what small movements he made when turning away, but everyone in the room started to move.

Those who opened the windows and those who tidied the house tidied the house. During the chaos, everyone completely ignored the few people standing at the door and went about cleaning the house in a hurry.

Ning Zimo was afraid that the two people around him would feel embarrassed, so he turned to Wu Zhenyu and whispered, "Look, this is the power of beauty. We two rough men will definitely not be treated like this."

Wu Zhenyu grinned silently, while Dong Qianqian stood motionless with her back to the front.

Are there times when his jokes are useless?

Feeling that he was being bored, Ning Zimo could only shrug and wait for the reaction from the door.

Half a minute later, several young people in the room finally stopped what they were doing, and then walked towards the door to greet them.

After Wu Zhenyu introduced himself, he pointed at Ning Zimo, "This is our emperor penguin leader - Ning Zimo."

Ning Tingfeng, who had been taking the lead in the introduction, still looked nervous. He stretched out his hand and shook it mechanically with Ning Zimo, obviously a little embarrassed by his side's performance just now.

But several people behind Ning Tingfeng looked surprised after hearing Wu Zhenyu's introduction.

Shang Xuesong, who had a struggling expression just now, raised his trembling right hand. Although his finger did not point directly at Ning Zimo, his eyes kept staring at Ning Zimo.

"Ning...Mr. Ning, could it be that...you are the founder of Skype reported in the news..."

"Yeah," Ning Zimo nodded and took advantage of the situation to let go of Ning Tingfeng's hand, and then stretched out his hand to Shang Xuesong.

"Skype is our Emperor Penguin project."

"Ning...Mr. Ning?"

The two of them held hands together before Ning Tingfeng reacted!

Ning Zimo found this scene very funny.

…

On February 25, 2004, Ning Zimo finally started to pick up the pace. On the third day after returning to gardening, he took Wu Zhenyu and Dong Qianqian, who had been preparing for some time, to board the plane to the north.

There are a lot of things to do when you come to Momo this time, and the first stop is the Qidian Flower Network.

In the past two years, there will no longer be projects like Skype that can shock the world. Emperor penguins and emperor penguin-related industries will enter a period of silent and stable development. This is the characteristic of the Internet industry. Any envy that has not accumulated for a long time will not be

A successful day.

Before the dawn of success, Internet people are destined to learn to enjoy loneliness.

Of course, there are many ways for emperor penguins to enjoy loneliness, but they have nothing to do with Ning Zimo. He still needs to expand his territory.

But sitting in the temporary conference room of Qidian Flower Network, it is a living room with two rooms and two living rooms. Although he also brought his companions, Ning Zimo felt a little uncomfortable when facing the burning eyes of Qidian.

adapt.

"Mr. Ning, I'm really sorry. It was Brother Zhenyu who contacted me last month, and he didn't introduce in detail that Coldplay Technology is a company owned by Emperor Penguin. So, we are really not prepared enough, and I'm really sorry..."

Ning Tingfeng was still blaming himself for his slow reaction just now. Ning Zimo felt his sincerity and naturally shook his head indifferently.

"Brother Ning, you've already called me Brother Zhenyu. He also gave me the identity of a martial arts hero. Just call me Brother Ning. This will prevent us from having all kinds of titles in our company and calling me "big boss" all the time.

At that time, I often felt like I was a mountain king."

Ning Zimo took the initiative to make jokes and slap him, which was really unbelievable to everyone at Qidian. After all, in their eyes, he was the richest flower grower. How could there be such an approachable, funny and funny richest man among flower growers in the past?

But after the own goal just now, Ning Tingfeng's mentality gradually stabilized. He could see that Ning Zimo was not hypocritical. After a pause, he simply asked, "Brother Ning, Brother Zhenyu contacted us years ago.

He also mentioned the acquisition of our Qidian. To be honest, a lot of things have happened to our Qidian in recent times, so much so that we were still discussing it before you came."

"How about it? Have you discussed the result?" Ning Zimo tapped the table with his finger.

Seeing that he asked simply and directly, several people looked at each other for a moment and shook their heads in unison.

Seeing confusion in their eyes, Ning Zi was so silent that he did not continue on this topic for the time being.

Starting from the beginning, this online literature site was planned to be integrated into its own culture and entertainment ecology early on, and even played a very important linking role in the entire ecology.

Of course, in his alternative plans, Qidian and Huanjian are just one of them. There are many ways to acquire several online literature sites that will develop well in the future. The best way is naturally to acquire Qidian, and then continue the established business in the previous life.

Development model. As long as you follow the model of the previous life, you don't need to invest energy and you can still make the starting point develop better than the previous life.

Before that, all you need to do is decide which company to acquire and help them broaden their horizons.

"Let me discuss a few small questions with you first. This question is very simple. What do you think is the main body of online literature?" Ning Zimo was ready to give some advice.

Shang Xuesong is impatient. He did not think about it like Ning Tingfeng and others, but just said, "Online literature, the Internet is a way of publishing and disseminating, but the main body is still literature."

Ning Zimo nodded, "I don't deny this point of view, but my definition of online literature has always been a part of the cultural industry chain."

"culture?"

"Industrial chain?" Ning Tingfeng frowned.

When it comes to the cultural industry, it may be easier to understand, but when it comes to the cultural industry chain, it makes a few people at Qidianhua.com confused. But this is not Ning Zimo’s rhetoric to deliberately sensationalize, but a purposeful attempt to change the thinking of a few people.

Lead to the direction of the industrial chain.

In order to let everyone understand better, Ning Zimo continued the topic just now, "Whether it is traditional literature or online literature, they all belong to the content level of cultural content circulation. The industry chain must be supported, and traditional literature also

Well, both online literature and online literature can be realized and extended based on the support of copyright value mining, licensing transactions and supply chain management.

If you think the information I mentioned is sour and difficult to understand, then you can think about the Disney Company. You can think about what kind of company Disney is? What have they done?"

Ning Zimo directly picked up real-life examples and let a few people participate in the topic like primary school students.

"animation"

"game"

"Movie"

"books"

“theme park”

"Extensions"

Anyone with some knowledge can answer these obvious things, but for a while, everyone didn't understand what Ning Zimo wanted to do.

Unexpectedly, after everyone had finished piecing everything together, they saw the beautiful woman named Dong Qianqian opposite her take out a stack of documents from her bag, put them on the table and push them over.

Before anyone could find out more doubts, Wu Zhenyu stood up and said, "Maybe you think the topic is a bit jumpy, but if I don't tell you this prerequisite, it will be a bit difficult to connect the following things.

First of all, Emperor Penguin's [Panda Pictures] currently has a children's animation "Peppa Pig" produced in cooperation with the British abd studio, which has signed broadcast agreements with nearly 10 children's TV channels in the United Kingdom, the United States and China. The animation

The film will be released simultaneously on May 1 this year.

Then, our boss has taken over the Glass Slag Company and made an acquisition offer with Square Enix. I am ready to take over all the copyrights to the "Pokémon" and "Stone Age" games. As long as this step is completed, we

The next step will be taken.

Specifically, the first step is to let Neon National Headhunting Company help us select 500 animation and game professionals. Once the personnel are in place, we will formulate characters and write stories around the world framework of "Magic Baby" and "Stone Age"

, and then produce animations, animation products and derivatives, and even movies in the future.”

Unlike Omi, which has Li Ying, Zhang Miaoying, and Jennifer, there is no specific person in charge of the cultural ecology in China.

Ning Zi thought for a long time before pushing out Wu Zhenyu, who had something to do with cultural ecology.

This time when I came to the Magic City, with him on the side holding the battle, Wu Zhenyu was left to practice in front.

Qidian, a team with little foundation, was naturally Wu Zhenyu’s first stop for training.

Winning "World of Warcraft" has long been a fact, but "Magic Baby" and "Stone Age" are only the first steps for the time being, and the things mentioned later have not yet been fully developed. Ning Zimo would not tell the planned things in advance

He felt there was something wrong, but Wu Zhenyu's trembling just now convinced Ning Zimo that this guy was not as sinister as himself and needed more experience.

Wu Zhenyu continued: "You see, under these conditions, we plan an event for the Qidian Flower Network and launch a "Magic Baby" and "Stone Age" story contest.

In this bonus event totaling RMB 2 million, participants can write medium-to-long stories about the world background, characters, NPCs, systems, items, pets, etc. of "Magic Baby" and "Stone Age". Excellent stories

It can win awards, and the better long stories can even serve as the story background framework for the next version of the two games.

On the one hand, this method of universal participation can enhance everyone's understanding of online novels, and on the other hand, it can set a benchmark for this model. Think about it, if there are enough people participating and the attention is high enough, the produced

A series of products such as novels, games, cartoons, animations, and movies are successful enough. Wouldn’t it attract more relevant people to participate? Wouldn’t it be easy to describe the industry chain?

Around this industry chain, some people write stories, some draw pictures, some make animations, and some make movies. At that time, games developed around such a large group of fans could also be an extension of the entertainment industry.

In the final analysis, it is still a link in this cultural industry chain."

Wu Zhenyu felt that he was forced out by Ning Zimo. When he told him these things, he spent a lot of time to digest them. Now he has completed the task perfectly. He looked at the stunned expressions of everyone at the starting point opposite.

, Wu Zhenyu felt extremely comfortable.

Ning Zimo was very satisfied with Wu Zhenyu's performance and gave everyone at Qidian enough time to digest.

After they gradually sorted out their thoughts from the shock, Ning Zimo looked over and said:

"The purpose of our visit this time is to seek cooperation with Qidian. We are optimistic about the future market of online literature. I am also willing to invest in online literature and create a healthy development of the cultural industry according to the plan we just made.

Therefore, we propose two plans for your reference. Plan 1: Emperor Penguin invests 1,500,000 yuan to fully acquire Qidian Flower Network. Plan 2: Emperor Penguin invests 1,000,000 yuan to fully acquire Qidian Flower Network and retains 20% of the original shares for you.

In both plans, you will be hired to continue to shine for Qidian Flower Network in your current position. It’s just that one is a bit like a part-time job, while the other has a certain degree of autonomy.”

Ning Zimo pointed to the document on the table and said word by word, "The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. This sentence is timely and appropriate now. At this moment, I have experienced so much.

After all the ups and downs, what choices will you make for the future of Qidian Flower Network?"
