Chapter 100

"Li Nan, wait, one more thing."

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

"Mr. Chen, what's up?"

"Well, how long will it take you to make instant messaging now?"

"President Chen, are you really going to do instant messaging?"

Li Nan was excited.

He knew for a long time that Chen Yu could not always engage in game websites.

This is not to say that the game website has no future.

The future of game websites is promising, but no matter how promising they are, they can't compare with instant messaging.

"Try this first, but our positioning is different from ordinary instant messaging."

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

"This... It's not easy to say now."

"Instant messaging technology is not difficult. I can do it in one day."

"No."

Chen Yumu stared and said, "I'll get it out in one day. Are you hanging up?"

"Oh, Mr. Chen, don't forget that I developed UC at the beginning. I have UC source code here."

"Source code of UC?"

Chen Yu was stunned and said, "isn't this Xinlang's?"

"Xinlang had a preliminary investment intention at that time, but then penguin was too powerful, and our UC failed. Then Xinlang wanted to develop it by ourselves, and then our UC team was dissolved, and the source code finally belonged to me."

"Is there a problem with copyright?"

"I can guarantee that there is no problem. The source code now belongs to me."

"OK, the company pays 100000 yuan to buy your UC source code."

"Mr. Chen, don't do so much."

"It's all right. Who told you to give me a surprise? I thought it would take several months to get it done. Since you have UC source code, that's great. Later, you can modify the source code and add a new function."

"What function?"

"Chat room."

Li Nan was a little puzzled: "isn't it a backward technology to add chat rooms to instant messaging? Moreover, with instant messaging, it seems that there is no need for chat rooms."

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

The forum may have been used by everyone.

As for chat rooms, there are some like the current live broadcasting rooms.

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

Everyone came into this chat room because of a topic and had a sea talk from all over the world.

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

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

"Technically speaking, there are some setbacks, but instant messaging is not the whole of social networking. Although chat rooms will gradually be replaced by instant messaging, instant messaging can not replace chat rooms in many cases. You can do it first, and then you will know the effect. Of course, you can finish the guild system first."

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

Although I still don't understand, as Chen Yu said, I'll see what the effect is after I make it.

……

Sohu game division.

Sohu, as one of the four major portals, recently saw that while Netease made a lot of money in the game, Zhang Chaoyang, who has always been an old Jianghu, couldn't sit still. He established Sohu game division and was ready to enter the field of online games.

However, it is different from Netease.

Although Sohu also plays games, in addition to his own games, he also plans to build a game portal.

After all, it was the portal that started. Zhang Chaoyang knew the role of the portal too well.

In this way, production and publicity are in their own hands. Why worry about their own games? This is called preparedness.

To this end, Sohu acquired 17173.com for the first time.

Of course, Sohu wanted to buy 5173 at first, but after calculation, some are not cost-effective. After all, the Internet bubble in 2000 has left Sohu with no surplus grain, and its pockets are crumbling. Otherwise, it will not think of making money in games. In this way, it's better to buy 17173, which has some experience but doesn't need much money.

With the guidance of their own Sohu portal, 17173 can definitely win 5173 quickly.

At this time, Gu Yongqiang was in charge of Sohu game division.

Gu Yongqiang went to Australia to study at the age of 14, and later was admitted to the economics major in Berkeley, California. After graduation, I worked in Bain Capital for a period of time. Later, I returned home to invest in rich countries and became famous in the field of investment. 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 in tune with himself. He directly said, you don't want to invest in me, so come to Sohu as president.

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

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

"Mr. Gu, I didn't expect that the counter attack speed of 5173 was so fast."

"We just signed the contract and 5173 advertised on major websites."

"If we continue to fight like this, we 17173 may find it difficult to get up."

Cai Zongjian, founder of 17173, spoke to Gu Yongqiang.

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

He used to be just a game enthusiast. At first, he founded 17173 purely as a hobby.

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

Cai Zongjian, who had little money, soon lost in the competition of 5173.

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

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

"But in this way, we are somewhat passive, and their advertising words are too shameless. It is still unknown who is the first portal of 5173 games and who is the second."

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

"OK."

Cai Zongjian nodded and said, "by the way, Mr. Gu, I heard that 5173 also hit Sohu?"

"Yes."

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

"It really disgusts us."

Gu Yongqiang smiled: "but what's this disgusting? I let the people in the advertising department agree."

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

"The money delivered to the door doesn't earn nothing. Besides, how long can they last? Don't worry, 5173 is just a small website. Can't we destroy a small website when we sell Sohu portal?"

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