Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

“Is my Haofang platform worth only 25 million?”

Li Lijun almost shouted these words, and the trembling veins on his forehead clearly showed his excitement.

Although her eyes were still on him, Ning Zimo saw in his peripheral vision that Wu Zhenyu, who was sitting in the second seat of the negotiation, was quite restless.

After experiencing the very accommodating negotiation atmosphere at Qidian, that guy was obviously not prepared for the overreaction that occurred to the founder of Haofang.

However, in Ning Zimo's view, the "unexpected" situation between "the enemy and ourselves" is not a bad thing.

Before returning to China, Ning Zimo had already planned for Wegame to enter the country with authorization from Glass Slag and other game manufacturers.

But Ning Zimo, who was well prepared, also knew another thing, and that was that he, a "migrant" who started his career in foreign markets, indeed lacked a unique strength in the domestic market of this era.

That is an extra force that exists in the free market. Even if you are the so-called richest man in flower farming, you are nothing in front of that extra force!

This self-knowledge made Ning Zimo know from the time he was planning wegame that if wegame wanted to land in China, he must have the confidence to balance that extra power.

The acquisition of Qidian can at best be regarded as a plan for the future. At this time, Qidian is not enough to be a boost to Wegame. But what Qidian cannot provide, Haofang, owned by Li Lijun, can count as a share.

A closer look shows that there may have been some luck and opportunity in the early days of Haofang's founding, but after the original ccsk team came to Haofang to build the CGA platform, Haofang has gradually developed a desire to become a platform from top to bottom.

CGA and Haofang platforms have a large domestic user base and traffic, which is what Wegame needs most.

From 1998 to 2001, Haofang relied on its high-tech private enterprise background to win the Magic City Telecommunications Transformation Project. Its founder, Li Lijun, was not an unknown person. Even if it is not clear how powerful his specific background is, Ning Zimo

But it is very clear that what Li Lijun possesses is definitely not the complement to what he is good at.

If the horse and cart are clear and Haofang is taken down, then we can freely take this supplement from Li Lijun and put it on Wegame.

Therefore, whether it is CGA or Haofang, not only the platform must be won, but the team must be won as well!

Besides, Haofang is being watched by Shanda, so it's not like he has no choice at all. If Li Lijun tries to figure it out, it will be a little more troublesome.

This negotiation strategy needs to be modified appropriately. It cannot be carried out step by step like it is now. Li Lijun must be convinced!

Not only must the price be lowered,

There has to be a win-win situation,

More to do a demonstration.

Ning Zimo felt really helpless. After all, there were still very few people like Li Ying who could keep up with his thinking and vision, and at the same time had quite strong abilities.

In other words, the development time of emperor penguins is still too short and the foundation is too shallow.

So helpless...

However, these helplessness can only pass through my mind.

On the face, the calmness that should be there remains as usual!

"On the contrary, Mr. Li, I very much recognize the current value of Haofang."

Facing the "angry" Li Lijun, Ning Zimo looked calm.

Ning Zimo's reaction made Li Lijun slightly stunned.

Just now, this young man said personally that CGA is worth 15 million US dollars. If you add an extra 25 million US dollars, doesn't it mean that Haofang is only worth 25 million US dollars?

Li Lijun didn't think he had heard wrong! Although this young man had approached AllBright about the acquisition of the cga platform early in the morning, he had thought at that time whether this was a plan by this young man to conquer the east and west.

This young man has a lot of money in his hands and is a good buyer with more money than Shanda.

No smart person would accidentally mention an irrelevant matter during a negotiation.

Therefore, the young richest flower grower opposite must have the intention to acquire a good company.

But after my own little trial, the other party was actually convinced?

What does this mean?

Li Lijun decided to take another step forward to test clearly.

"Mr. Ning, since you recognize the value of Haofang, maybe we can talk."

Li Lijun said this sentence very vaguely.

He just wanted to use this method to induce the young man opposite to reveal his fox tail.

Li Lijun believed that based on his experience in working hard in the business world earlier than this young man, he would be able to detect any clues about his acquisition of Haofang next time.

At that time, the initiative will be on your side.

After hearing Li Lijun's words, Ning Zimo knew clearly what he meant behind his words, so it was naturally impossible for him to fall into that "trap".

The acquisition of CGA and Haofang is true, but it is definitely not what Li Lijun thought.

How about taking you for a ride again?

"Mr. Li, although Wegame and Haofang are both creative ideas of our own people, they have different starting points. The main function of Wegame is distribution. Although I have the equity of Glass Slag, I also plan to let Glass Slag control its real-time strategy

The game undergoes a revamp of Battle.net.

But the main role of Wegame is to make money by publishing genuine games. Even if the Battle.net system revision of Glass Slag's games can be perfectly integrated with the Wegame platform, real-time strategy games are always not as good as CS, which has at least 10

Personal competitive games.

The reason why I value CGA is because the predecessor of CGA was still dominated by CS players. Now, the crowd of CGA is still a gathering of CS players. This can fully complement the lack of player types on the WeGame platform.

Whether I buy glass slag or cga, I have to use them to make money. Wegame has always been a world of genuine players. I only use the distribution platform of wegame to cultivate the habit of using genuine players.

As for those players who are accustomed to using pirated copies, I can't make any money from them. But they still have Haofang, a gathering place. Maybe Tengxun or others will join this ranks in the future. Wegame will provide genuine copies by then.

Players provide good genuine services, and platforms such as Haofang and Tengxun complement the needs of pirated players. Isn’t it great that everyone coexists peacefully and all three parties benefit?”

(￣￣)

Ning Zimo spread his hands, and his "childish" idea seemed to have been considered even for Haofang's sake, but his remarks made Li Lijun a little dumbfounded.

Wegame is a legitimate platform, and in the eyes of that young man, it is used to make money.

But Haofang doesn’t make money, and the young man is right. Tengxun has always wanted to enter the game industry. With their current QQ user base, once Tengxun enters, it will inevitably form a new competitive platform. At that time

It is even more difficult for Haofang to make money.

This kind of future that has not happened has opened up a huge gap in the present. Li Lijun feels that he cannot accept this reality.

Now that this young man is taking the Wegame platform to promote it in the flower-growing land, how will Haofang deal with it?

Li Lijun suddenly felt that Haofang, which had 60 million users in just two years of operation and reached 1 million online at the same time, was not unsaleable.

But to whom it will be sold,

How much will it cost to sell!

It's best to package it up and sell it to the young man in front of you.

For no other reason than because you can maximize your profits by selling it to him!

Li Lijun thought for a while and simply took a step further, "Mr. Ning, I don't mind if you just made a little joke. You also said that you very much recognize the value of our Haofang. Then I want to ask, if you are asked to give Haofang

In terms of valuation, how much do you think Haofang is worth?"

Li Lijun's words actually made it very clear, and he already revealed the meaning of being able to sell.

This was considered a complete circle that Ning Zimo had taken, and he had achieved his goal.

The two of them went back and forth, talking here and there, but they never stopped testing each other.

But because of this, Ning Zimo deliberately took a step back: "Mr. Li, if you want me to evaluate the value of Haofang alone, I think Haofang is worth at least 30 million."

"3000w."

Li Lijun repeated the number clearly, so that everyone could hear it, but Li Lijun also heard what Ning Zimo meant by drawing the ground as a prison. Ning Zimo did not show that he could sell Haofang at the same time.

I have no intention of buying Haofang.

This made Li Lijun feel a little overwhelmed.

If it's Haofang, it's 30 million, plus CGA's 15 million. This transaction is worth 45 million, and the young man can still afford it. However, if this young man really just buys CGA, then he will lose more than he gains.

.

Although Shanda is also interested in Haofang in the near future, Shanda is more inclined to acquire some shares and then acquire other parts according to its operating conditions. If there is no unexpected factor like Wegame, it is still confident that it can raise its valuation through rolling sales.

.

However, with the emergence of this situation today, the wegame that the young man opposite has not launched yet will definitely become a big mountain in front of Haofang's gate.

As if something was stuck in his throat, Li Lijun was a little bit unhappy: "Mr. Ning, I have a side question. I don't know when the wegame platform will be online."

Ning Zimo answered this question quite readily, about showing off his muscles and putting pressure on the other party.

"Wegame's current functions have been perfected and are in the testing period. What's left is just a revised version of the Battle.net version. With the cooperation and integration of major game companies such as EA and Ubisoft, all functions are expected to be completed in May this year, and it is also expected to be 6

It will be officially launched on January 1st.”

This year?

June?

There is not much time left for Haofang to react!

If wegame is launched according to this time, won't Haofang's value in Shanda's heart decline?

Li Lijun suddenly felt melancholy.

In less than two years, I have invested less than 30 million in capital, but I have never found a suitable profit model for Haofang. Although Haofang has not reached the point of making ends meet, it is far behind compared with the young people opposite.

If the young man opposite just has a lot of money, Haofang still has a lot of room for a premium for his acquisition intention.

But now the situation suddenly changed. The young man walked into this conference room and wanted to buy cga. But he also had the wegame platform and glass slag. These are resources standing on the other side of the Haofang balance. They are integrated

The higher the value together, the lower the value of Haofang will appear.

This value is still a value for everyone, including Haofang’s value in the hearts of his own team.

If there is no comparison, Haofang is definitely the one who leads the way.

But in this world, not everything can be monopolized!

After thinking about it, Li Lijun suddenly felt that there was only one way before Haofang now.

Before all this happens, quickly package Haofang and CGA and sell them to the young man in front of you!

Only by selling to him can you get the best value!

Li Lijun calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, but even if he spoke, he couldn't be so direct.

Mr. Ning, why don’t you invest in our Haofang? I believe that as long as your funds come in, we at Haofang will increase our investment and find a profit point as soon as possible.”

As soon as Li Lijun finished speaking, Ning Zimo understood what he meant. It was nothing more than letting him buy some shares first, turn on the charging mode, and then make the remaining shares more valuable through beautiful books.

But Ning Zimo knew how Haofang died in his previous life. Even how Haofang became worthless in his previous life, Ning Zimo also knew.

Paid VIP and advertising investment are the only two ways to go.

But the opening of the former has made Haofang a platform where people can be kicked at will, but players go to Haofang to play games because they want to connect with others. When one person is kicked, what actually affects the entire game is the experience of everyone.

With this paid VIP function, the number of simultaneous online users of Haofang's 1 million instantly dropped to 300,000.

Not to mention the latter, the increase in advertising made Haofang's remaining goodwill in the hearts of players disappear, and eventually they reluctantly switched to other platforms.

In the previous life, Shengda acquired Haofang for nearly a year and spent 60 million US dollars. However, when it was sold many years later, Haofang's annual revenue was only 59 million and profit was 13 million.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, Haofang's development seems quite embarrassing.

Ning Zimo paused, and then said as if he had carefully considered it, "Mr. Li, this method is not impossible, but I want to say that if Haofang wants to show value through the charging model, it will only be because

The performance in all aspects has led to the loss of players. Haofang may make money in the short term, but lose the market by focusing on one thing and the other.”

"How could it be?" Li Lijun blurted out a rebuttal after hearing Ning Zimo's words. But after rebutting, he didn't find a good footing for himself.

Ning Zimo said calmly, "Mr. Li, if nothing else, let me talk about the nature of human beings. The biggest difference between wegame and Haofang is that wegame charges a fee from the beginning, while Haofang is originally free. Charging is a habit

, and when charging becomes a habit, and people buy things and Wegame also provides corresponding services, then genuine users will feel that it is worth their money to enjoy the services on the Wegame platform.

But what about Haofang? Haofang is originally free, and people are used to it being free. Even if you pay for some of your services, this is a transition from free to paid. Do you think players will not be interested in the services they are about to purchase?

Questions arise. You have been free for so long, so what does it mean to suddenly charge? If you charge a fee, the services provided are not in place, will this kind of complaint be magnified indefinitely? "

Ning Zimo looked at Li Lijun with interest and continued in an understatement:

"Mr. Li, the big mountain erected in front of Haofang is not a wegame, it is a symbol of love and hatred. It is also the essence of human nature!"
