Rebirth of Cyber ​​Hegemony

　　 "Li Nan, wait, there's one more thing."

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

　　 "Mr. Chen, what's the matter?"

　　 "Well, how long will it take you to engage in instant messaging now."

　　 "Mr. Chen, you really want to engage in instant messaging?"

　　 Li Nan was excited.

　　 He had known for a long time that Chen Yu couldn't keep running a game website.

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

　　 There is a future for game websites, but no matter how promising they are, they can’t compare to instant messaging.

　　 "This, try first, but our positioning is somewhat different from ordinary instant messaging."

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

　　 "This...it's not easy to say now."

　　 "The technical difficulty of instant messaging is not that difficult, I can do it in a day."

"No way."

　　 Chen Yu was stunned: "It was done in one day, are you going to hang it up?"

　　 "Hehe, Mr. Chen, don't forget that I was developing UC at the beginning, and I have the source code of UC here."

　　 "The source code of UC?"

　　 Chen Yu was taken aback, and said, "Isn't this Xinlang's?"

"Xinlang had initial investment intentions at the time, but then Penguin was too powerful, and our UC failed. Later, Xinlang wanted to develop it by ourselves, and then our UC team was disbanded, and the source code finally belonged to me. ."

　　 "Are there any problems with copyright?"

　　 "I can guarantee that there will be no problems, and the source code is now completely mine."

　　 "Okay, the company will pay 100,000 yuan to buy your UC source code."

　　 "Mr. Chen, not so much."

"It's okay, who told you to give me a surprise? I thought it would take several months to get it done. Since you have the UC source code, that would be great. Go back and modify the source code. In addition, add a brand new one. Function."

　　 "What function?"

"chatroom."

　　 Li Nan was a little puzzled: "Isn't it a technical regression to join a chat room in instant messaging? Besides, with instant messaging, it seems that there is no need for a chat room, right."

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

　　 Forum may have been used by everyone.

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

　　 It's just that the live broadcast is audio and video, but the early chat rooms are text.

　　 Everyone entered this chat room because of a topic, and talked about it.

　　 Only afterwards, with the emergence of instant messaging, the chat room slowly declined.

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

"In terms of technology, there are indeed some regressions, but instant messaging is not the whole of social networking. Although chat rooms will gradually be replaced by instant messaging, in many cases instant messaging cannot replace chat rooms. You do it first, when the time comes You will know the effect. Of course, finish the guild system first."

　　 "Yes, Mr. Chen."

　　 Although I still don't understand, as Chen Yu said, I will look at the effect after I make it.

　　……

　　 Sohu Game Division.

As one of the four major portals, Sohu recently saw NetEase making a lot of money in the game. Zhang Chaoyang, who has always been a long-time player, couldn’t sit still. Sohu’s game division was established, and it was ready to enter the field of online games. .

　　 However, it is not the same as NetEase.

　　 Although Sohu also makes games, in addition to his own games, he also plans to engage in game portals.

　　 After all, the portal website started, and Zhang Chaoyang is too aware of the role of the portal website.

　　So, the production and promotion are all in my own hands, so why not worry about your games not being popular? This is called being prepared.

　　 For this reason, Sohu immediately acquired 17173.com.

　　 Of course, the original Sohu wanted to acquire 5173, but after all, some are not worthwhile. After all, the Internet bubble in 2000 left Sohu with little surplus, and it collapsed in its pockets, otherwise it would not have thought of making money in games. Thinking about it this way, it is better to acquire a 17173 that has some experience but does not require much money.

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

　　 At this time, Gu Yongqiang is in charge of Sohu's game division.

　　 Gu Yongqiang went to Australia to study at the age of 14, and later admitted to Berkeley, California, majoring in economics. After graduation, he worked in Bain Capital for a period of time, and later returned to China to invest in rich countries and became famous in the investment field. 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 fits well with him, so he said directly, you don’t want to invest in me anymore, just come to Sohu as the president.

　　With Gu Yongqiang joining, and because Gu Yongqiang has capital background. Sohu quickly developed and expanded in a short period of time, and was listed in the United States as soon as possible.

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

　　 "General Gu, I didn't expect the 5173 counterattack speed to be so fast."

　　 "We just signed the contract, and 5173 was crazy to advertise on major websites."

　　 "If we continue to fight like this, 17173 may have a hard time getting up."

　　It was Cai Zongjian, the founder of 17173, who spoke to Gu Yongqiang.

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

　　 He turned out to be just a game enthusiast, initially founded 17173 purely as a hobby.

　　 He likes to collect a series of information about online games~www.readwn.com~ But slowly 17173 traffic is getting bigger and bigger, he realizes that this hobby can be regarded as his own career, so he began to fully devote himself to the construction of 17173. It's just a pity that 17173 did not develop for too long, and 5173 was killed halfway through.

　　 Cai Zongjian, who had no money, quickly lost in the 5173 competition.

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

　　 "Xiao Cai, I investigated 5173. They don't have much money to smash advertisements. They may not be able to survive it for a week at most."

　　 "But this way we are a little passive, and their advertising words are too shameless, and it is still the first portal of the 5173 game. It is still unknown who is the first and who is the second."

　　 "Don't worry about this, when they can't hold up their funds, 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 with ads?"

　　 "There is such a thing."

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

　　 "It really disgusts us."

　　 Gu Yongqiang smiled and said, "But, what a disgusting thing, I asked the people in the advertising department to agree."

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

　　 "The money delivered to the door does not make no profit. Besides, how long can they last? Don't worry, 5173 is just a small website. Our Sohu portal can kill a small website?"

　　 patted Cai Zongjian on the shoulder, and Gu Yongqiang leisurely drank tea.
