At this time, other investors present saw this and expressed their willingness to invest in Xinlang Weibo.

"Mr. Hu, what a great idea. Stars fighting each other will definitely lead to trouble. Our company is also willing to invest in Xinlang Weibo!"

“Our company can join the investment!”

"Mr. Hu, many of our investment companies want to invest in Xinlang Weibo. Can you see if you can get more shares, otherwise it won't be enough! Besides, if Xinlang Weibo wants to develop, it needs to compete with Wujiang Weibo. There aren't enough shares. The ammunition is not good!"

"Yes, Mr. Hu, you should take out more shares. The top priority of Xinlang Weibo is to survive. The number of shares is not important. If the competition fails, no matter how many shares you hold, they will be worthless in the end. .”

"The more Xinlang Weibo raises money, the greater the winning rate! If there is less financing this time, in fact, for us investors, we will not have enough confidence in Xinlang Weibo! Therefore, Xinlang Weibo should not raise money." Well, let’s close the website early to avoid wasting money; or raise more money and go big!” At this time, Zhang Lei from Hillhouse Capital said in a serious voice.

After a pause, he added, "Xinlang Weibo's financing plan is only 2500 million U.S. dollars, but I think this amount of money is far from enough. I estimate that at least 5000 million U.S. dollars will be about the same. If you, Xinlang Weibo, only raise 2500 U.S. dollars, Ten thousand, then we at Hillhouse Capital will not invest and we dare not take this risk."

Other investors heard this and expressed their support.

When Hu Yangyu heard this, he suddenly felt pain and happiness.

The more financing, this means that Xinlang Weibo will sell more shares to investors.

Too many shares were sold in the first round of financing, which will inevitably have a huge impact on the company's future financing plans.

However, there is no need to think about such long-term things now.

The most important thing is that Xinlang Weibo can survive the competition.

Hu Yangyu thought for a moment, then said to the investors with a wry smile: "Okay, I will try my best to persuade the board of directors to agree to your request!"

Everyone smiled after hearing this.

"Mr. Hu, we look forward to your good news!"

"I hope so!" Hu Yangyu smiled and nodded.

.........

On the same day, Hu Yangyu conveyed the investor's request to Xinlang Group.

The board of directors of Xinlang Group immediately held a meeting and discussed for more than an hour, and finally agreed to the investors' request and decided to sell 35% of Xinlang Weibo's shares to major investors in the first round of financing.

There is no way. Wujiang Weibo is developing rapidly, which puts too much pressure on Xinlang Weibo. If Xinlang Weibo does not step up to catch up now, there will be no chance.

The next afternoon, 3 o'clock.

Hu Yangyu met with major investors again.

Under Hu Yangyu's arguments, Xinlang Weibo sold 35% of its shares in exchange for an investment of US$7000 million.

Everyone was very happy and felt very satisfied.

The investment agreement was signed on the same day.

That evening, the homepage of the Sina portal announced the news that Xinlang Weibo had successfully raised US$7000 million.

As soon as the news came out, countless netizens were surprised.

NetEase and Sohu were even more panicked when they saw this.

Sina Weibo moved so fast, completing the financing in just a few days, and received US$7000 million in the first round of financing. With so much money, Sina Weibo can easily develop!

How can NetEase Weibo and Sohu Weibo compete?

Competition in the market often involves a "fight" between the boss and the second child. As a result, the third, fourth and fifth children disappear inexplicably...

NetEase and Sohu also held meetings immediately to discuss countermeasures.

Everyone discussed and discussed at the meeting, and they just wanted to get their own Weibo projects funded as soon as possible so that they could compete with Wujiang Weibo and Xinlang Weibo!
So, starting from the next day, NetEase and Sohu also announced financing plans.

However, investors are not very enthusiastic about investing.

The investors who are most interested in investing in Weibo have now invested in Xinlang Weibo.

Although some investment companies prefer to invest in the entire track, they are a minority after all.

The most critical thing is that NetEase Weibo and Sohu Weibo have been half a beat behind, and are already at a disadvantage in the face of competition from Wujiang Weibo and Xinlang Weibo.

Facing the increasingly complicated Weibo industry, investors are also worried.

……

After Xinlang Weibo received US$7000 million in financing, Hu Yangyu suddenly became more confident.

His original plan could go ahead again.

Not all celebrities will curry favor with the Wujiang Group, because even if they want to curry favor with them, they can't.Therefore, Hu Yangyu is confident that as long as Xinlang Weibo offers an olive branch to second- and third-tier stars to help them increase their fame and income, he predicts that they will never refuse.

There are certainly many fans of first-tier stars, but there are more second-tier and third-tier stars, and these second-tier and third-tier stars have a lot of fans combined.

In addition, not all A-list celebrities are not interested in Xinlang Weibo.

As the saying goes, "I would rather be the mouth of a chicken than the queen of an ox."

On Wujiang Weibo, you can't be the boss, but on Xinlang Weibo, you are the boss, and you can also get strong support from Xinlang Weibo. Why not?

Hu Yangyu has seen through this, so even though Wujiang Weibo is now much larger than Xinlang Weibo, he is still confident in developing Xinlang Weibo.

At this moment, he has asked his team members to start contacting celebrities from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and invite celebrities to join Xinlang Weibo with huge sums of money. He is also preparing to implement celebrity mutual quarrels, celebrity fans quarrel with each other, celebrity scandal hype, paparazzi candid photos and exposure, etc. plan……

Let Xinlang Weibo drive the topic and attract traffic from the entire network.

……

……

Xinlang Weibo is busy preparing its trump card. The financing plans of NetEase Weibo and Sohu Weibo are not going well.

However, at this time, netizens' attention was attracted by a game.Just like in the previous life, Shanda Group agents an online game called "Legend of Hot Blood" from South Korea.

On September 9, "Legend of Hot Blood" was officially launched into public beta.

On the day of the open beta, "Legend of Hot Blood" exploded in popularity, immediately taking away the popularity of Xinlang Weibo's $7000 million financing.

No one expected that an online game with poor graphics and crude and simple gameplay would become so popular in China.

Major domestic media could not help but report on "Legend of Blood".

Many reporters also went to Wujiang Group to ask their opinions on "Legend of Hot Blood" and whether they were worried that "Legend of Hot Blood" would affect Wujiang Group's status in the gaming industry.

……

Borderless Building.

Office of the Chairman.

"Director Zhao, "Legend of Hot Blood" is coming fiercely. Many people in the Internet cafe are playing this game!" Liu Yinyin frowned.

Zhao Ye frowned slightly and said nothing. He actually knew about the game "Legend of Hot Blood", but he did not go to South Korea to represent the game.

In Zhao Ye's opinion, the main reason why people like it is because they have never played this type of online game.

Wujiang Group is also developing online games. It has spent [-] to [-] million U.S. dollars. The development of the first "Ancient World: Three Tribes for Hegemony" is almost completed. The game graphics are comparable to movie special effects, and the gameplay is diverse. It is a sandbox game. Extremely high degree of freedom.

This epic game masterpiece will surely become popular all over the world once it is launched.

Therefore, Zhao Ye is not interested in games like "Legend of Hot Blood" at all.

Moreover, Zhao Ye also wants to sell more Shenzhou computers through the game "Prehistoric World: Three Clans Struggle for Hegemony".

Because "Prehistoric World: Struggle of Three Clans" has relatively high computer configuration requirements, ordinary computer configurations cannot run this kind of game at all.

Zhao Ye believes that a super fun game will definitely force countless players to bite the bullet and buy new devices.

Of course, Wujiang Group mainly wants to make money from consumers in developed foreign countries.

At present, the income of most people in China is not very high, but fortunately, Tenglong Internet cafes are located all over the country's cities and towns.

At that time, it will be good to update the computers in Tenglong Internet Cafe in a unified manner.

The old computers are donated to rural schools so that rural children can be exposed to computers and the Internet from an early age and learn about the outside world.Surplus old computers can also be sold to Africa and South America.

The emergence of "Prehistoric World: Three Clans Struggle for Hegemony" may also promote the innovation of computer technology.

At 2:[-] p.m., Zhao Ye went to the Wujiang game development department.

Wang Jizhi, the person in charge of "Prehistoric World: Three Clans Struggle for Hegemony", saw Zhao Ye coming to him and immediately understood Zhao Ye's purpose.

After he went up to say hello to Zhao Ye, he began to introduce the development progress of "Prehistoric World: Three Clans Struggle for Hegemony".

In fact, if it weren't for the repeated delays in "Prehistoric World: Three Clans' Struggle", this game would have been released long ago.

But having said that, ticket bounce is also a manifestation of striving for excellence.

Therefore, Zhao Ye didn't blame them much.

"Director Zhao, there are still some minor bugs in "Prehistoric World: Three Clans Struggle for Hegemony". Our game developers are testing and fixing them. I think it won't take long before we can release it!" Wang Jizhi introduced.

"Mr. Wang, I have heard what you said several times, but in the end the ticket always bounced. Please give me an accurate message now, when will "Prehistoric World: Three Clans Struggle" be officially released! Right now, a Korean version "Legend of Blood" actually became popular in China, which is a slap in our face. We must fight back!" Zhao Ye shook his head and expressed slight dissatisfaction.

After the game "Legend of Hot Blood" became popular, Wang Jizhi also downloaded the game and tried it out.

After trying it out, he was full of disdain.

"Legend of Hot Blood" and "Legend of Hot Blood" are not on the same level at all. After playing "The Great Prehistoric World: Struggle of Three Clans", you will no longer feel the slightest interest in "Legend of Hot Blood".

The game graphics of "Legend of Blood" are really unflattering.

The game quality of "Prehistoric World: Three Clans Struggle for Hegemony" is the same as that of the movie, and it took the efforts of countless people in the company.

Ten years of sharpening a sword, Frostblade has never tried!
"Director Zhao, it will be released by the end of the year!!!" Wang Jizhi said with determination.

Zhao Ye asked: "Are you sure?"

"Very sure!!!" Wang Jizhi nodded heavily.

"Okay! It's September now, so we'll start promoting "The Prehistoric World: Three Clans Struggle for Hegemony" in November!" Zhao Ye thought for a while and said.

Wang Jizhi thought there was no problem, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Oh, by the way, how is the development of "World of Warcraft" and "StarCraft: Rise of Terran" going?"

"World of Warcraft" is based on the plot of the real-time strategy game "Warcraft" as its historical background, relying on the historical events and heroes of Warcraft to develop a magnificent masterpiece. The investment budget for the game is no less than that of "Prehistoric World: Struggle of Three Clans" .

"StarCraft: Rise of the Terrans" is an epic game developed based on the historical background of the real-time strategy game "StarCraft". It can be regarded as the prelude to the "StarCraft" massively multiplayer online role-playing game. It mainly tells the story of the exploration of the human race. Space, conquer space...

The next part, "StarCraft", is the focus. The human race encounters the gods and the Zerg, setting off a three-race struggle for hegemony.In the second part, players can choose any race, and the gameplay will be richer.

As for the real-time strategy game version of "StarCraft", Wujiang Group currently has no plans to develop the second part. The current development focus is on the development of massively multiplayer online role-playing games.This type of real-time strategy game is difficult to get started and many players don’t want to play it.Therefore, the second part of the real-time strategy version of "StarCraft" was not developed. The previous "StarCraft 2" was not a best-seller, but it also affected the popularity of the first "StarCraft 1" game.

Therefore, it would be great to launch a reset version of "StarCraft" when the time comes, and just make the graphics clearer and better-looking.

When Wang Jizhi heard this, he shook his head and said: "Our current work focus is on "The Prehistoric World: The Struggle of Three Clans", so the development progress of "World of Warcraft" and "StarCraft: The Rise of the Human Race" is relatively slow. "World of Warcraft" The development progress of "StarCraft: Rise of Terran" has reached 37%, and the development progress of "StarCraft: Rise of Terran" has reached 12%. It is expected to be released in..."

After a pause, Wang Jizhi made an inner calculation, and then said: "World of Warcraft will probably be released in 2006, and StarCraft: Rise of the Human Race will probably be released in 2008."

Wang Jizhi thought for a while and felt that the time seemed a bit long, so he quickly added: "After all, making games requires excellence, so it is reasonable for it to take a long time."

Zhao Ye was speechless, glanced at Wang Jizhi, and urged: "Hire more people, we must speed up game development. It takes so long to develop every game, how can we make money!"

Wang Jizhi smiled bitterly and defended himself: "Director Zhao, not all games take that long to develop. "Kart Runner", "Dungeon Fighter", "League of Legends", "CS·GO", "Resident Evil" ”, “Grand Theft Auto” and many 3A game masterpieces, the development time is very fast. However, the three games “StarCraft”, “World of Warcraft” and “Prehistoric World” are special. Our purpose is to create super IP!!! "

Zhao Ye thought for a moment and felt that what Wang Jizhi said made sense.

"StarCraft", "World of Warcraft" and "Prehistoric World" are the core game IPs of Wujiang Group. Once the games are released, film and television adaptations will be launched immediately. By then, the whole world will be crazy for these three super IPs !
