Chapter 87 Say hello to the boss

"Brilliant!"

Someone in the audience was the first to shout, and then the excited crowd followed suit one after another.

"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!!"

Ding Yang held up the magazine, his face flushed, and he shouted excitedly
The people around him were also affected by the emotion and kept shouting, even some of their voices broke.

At this moment, Ding Yang felt a sense of joy that exploded after being suppressed for a long time.

Feeling proud like never before.

Who said domestic stand-alone games are dead?

Not only is it still alive, but it has also traveled across the ocean and set a new sales record for domestic stand-alone games in North America!

Eleven million sets!
This number combined is more than the sales of all domestic stand-alone games.

The sales performance shocked even overseas, and a special report was published to introduce "Plants vs. Zombies"

Moreover, the popularity of the game continues to increase, spreading to the world.

I don't know who started to applaud, and then more and more people joined in, and the applause broke out.

The cheers and congratulations even overwhelmed the speakers of other companies, attracting more people's attention.

When Qin Shaoyan saw that the crowd was gathering more and more, he quickly stepped on the folding table, stood tall, raised his hands with a smile, and bowed to everyone in thanks.

"Thank you all for your love!" Qin Shaoyan picked up the speaker and said excitedly, "Our company will continue to work hard to make every game carefully and bring more high-quality products to everyone."

"To thank everyone for their support, we decided to hold an on-site raffle."

"The prize is a Counter-Strike game peripheral signed by Half-Life producer Gabe Newell."

The audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into even louder cheers and crowded forward.

"Everyone, please don't crowd and maintain order!" Qin Shaoyan said quickly, "The surrounding area is limited to 100 copies, and a group of 100 people will draw once. The event will last for three days."

"We have other gifts to give to each other. Please don't crowd in. If you disrupt the order, we will disqualify him from the lottery."

Several strong men in tight T-shirts came forward to persuade him and stood in front of Mr. Qin, forming a line of defense to prevent the crowd from being too enthusiastic and overturning the booth.

Teacher Hong took out a pen and paper and directed the audience to divide into ten groups, write their names on small slips of paper, and then put them into a cardboard box.

Then Qin Shaoyan pulled out a piece of paper on the spot and read out the name of the winner.

Soon, the first lucky audience member was born.

The lucky guy didn't react for a long time, and he screamed after being pushed by his friend.

"Oh, I'm hit!"

The person next to him had red eyes with envy and grabbed him, "Brother, sell it to me for two hundred yuan!"

"It's a beautiful idea, don't sell it!"

"Five hundred! Eight hundred!"

"make a deal!"

……

Beside the Shanda booth, the boss Chen Tianqiao was smiling and answering questions from the audience in a friendly manner.

"We will launch more online games in 2004. "Age of Heroes" is an online game developed by ourselves and is our own domestic legend."

"This year we will also act as agent for the online game MapleStory published by South Korea's NEXON. This game is our key project."

"Shanda will IPO in May this year. This is a strong proof of our company's strength. Shanda will become the largest gaming company in China."

At this time, Boss Chen was ambitious and relied on the explosive popularity of the legend to achieve grand glory.

His plans are not limited to online games. He wants to build Shanda into an online Disney. He is ambitious.

It has spread from the field of games to online literature and videos, with the intention of building a cultural entertainment empire.

In the early stages of the Chinese Internet, Penguin was criticized by all parties for being involved in plagiarism. Taobao had just been established and was fighting fiercely with eBay in the United States to compete for the Chinese market.

Sina is extremely busy because of the long-term melee on the board of directors.

Chen Tianqiao and his Shanda Company seized the opportunity and rose rapidly.

With the huge profits brought by games, operating income and operating profits have achieved rapid growth, leading the development of Chinese Internet companies for a long time.

At that time, Shanda's status in the world was untouchable. Chen Tianqiao himself was also known as the "Big Brother of the Internet." Even in 2007, when Ma Yun poached Zhang Yong, the then financial director of Shanda, he even went to Chen Tianqiao's home to apologize.

At this time, Chen Tianqiao was in high spirits and spoke eloquently when reporters asked questions.

Speaking of Shanda being listed on NASDAQ in the United States, I am even more proud.

Just as he was getting excited, suddenly waves of cheers erupted in the distance, interrupting his speech.

Chen Tianqiao frowned and looked at the assistant next to him, "What's going on? Go and take a look."

He turned around and smiled again, signaling the reporter to continue the interview.

Before long, the cheers grew louder and louder, and there was applause.

The spectators who were originally crowded in front of Shanda's booth seemed to have received the news, and they turned around and left, hurriedly running into the distance.

The reporter standing in front of Chen Tianqiao seemed to be absent-minded, and his questions became more and more perfunctory, and he wished he could leave him immediately to find out what happened.

Chen Tianqiao was immediately very unhappy, but he couldn't bear to do it in front of reporters.

Seeing the number of spectators in front of the booth gradually dwindling, Chen Tianqiao became increasingly unhappy.

The assistant who inquired about the information hurried back and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Huh?" Chen Tianqiao was surprised at first, and then asked suspiciously, "Eleven million? Is it true?"

"Indeed." The assistant nodded, "There have been many reports in the United States."

The assistant briefly introduced the sales situation of "Plants vs. Zombies" in the United States. The more Chen Tianqiao listened, the more frightened he became.

1100 million copies of the game sold, priced at $15.

If calculated based on a 10% net profit, that would be more than million U.S. dollars, which would be more than million when converted into RMB.

Shanda's net profit in 03 was only about million, and the revenue from a single game was more than one-third of Shanda's.

The scale and cost of the two parties are even more incomparable. The price-performance ratio is simply heavenly.

At this time, the reporter completed the interview, said goodbye eagerly, slipped into the crowd, and ran towards the hot spot in the distance.

Chen Tianqiao walked out of the booth with a sullen face, and Ding Sanshi, who got the news, happened to stand next to him.

The two people looked at each other without saying hello, and looked up at the Sentinel Technology booth.

A young man said something to the audience with a smile on his face and kept swinging his arms. His whole person was full of energy and vigor.

Qin Shaoyan seemed to notice something. He looked up and saw the two big guys Chen Tianqiao and Ding Sanshi at a glance.

One is the Internet’s top brother, the dominant player in the gaming field, and will soon become the richest man in China, 31-year-old Chen Tianqiao.

The other is the first-generation leader of the Internet, CEO of three major portals, and the richest man in China in 2003, 33-year-old Ding Sanshi.

Qin Shaoyan, 23 years old, is the president of Sentinel Technology, the owner of Shuxinfeng Company, and the record breaker for China’s stand-alone game sales.

He glanced at them, waved his hands casually to the two of them as a greeting, then lowered his head and continued working.

Ding Sanshi sighed with emotion, "China is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."

"Domineering!" Chen Tianqiao commented.

Ding Sanshi smiled slightly, "I think the person who came here is evil!"

Chen Tianqiao said nothing, with a sullen face not knowing what he was thinking.
