The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 142 Acquisition of Lianzhong
Compared with Yalian who was vomiting blood angrily, Lianzhong wanted to calm down a lot.

In fact, Lianzhong was panicked at the beginning. After all, OO has a bad reputation in the circle. Everyone said that this company is very wild, completely barbaric, and unreasonable.Of course, it doesn't matter what everyone says in their mouths. Anyway, it's unlucky that QQ is not them, so it doesn't matter.

But when things came to him, he panicked, but after waiting for a few days, Lianzhong found that the situation did not seem so bad, because although their number of active users has decreased, the number is not large, and it is different from their user base. 10%, rounded up, is approximately equal to no loss.

They didn't understand at first, because they heard that the situation of Asia Union was extremely miserable. Later, their leadership found out that it was because the customer base of Ourgame was different from that of OO.

OO's customers are young and young, basically young people under 30 years old, but Lianzhong is different, their users are basically middle-aged and elderly people over 30 years old.

These middle-aged and elderly people do not have a high level of acceptance of the Internet, and most of them are employees of government agencies. Their use of computers is limited to typing and switching on and off. Learning to use computers to play cards and mahjong is their greatest victory. up.

Coupled with their strong old-fashioned atmosphere, they sneered at stand-alone games and online games, saying that they were poisonous opium to teach children badly, and that they were the worst things in the world, and they would not even touch them.

On the contrary, playing poker and mahjong is the traditional art and cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, and there is no problem for them to play a dozen online.

All in all, children deserve to die for playing games after school, and they are off work... No, some people even go to work and play cards, and lose money or something, that is reasonable leisure and entertainment.

The old double standard is weird.

The core target group of Lianzhong is just such a group of middle-aged and elderly people, so Lianzhong has little loss in the face of the impact of OO game center, because the core user group is fundamentally different and cannot be taken away.

Of course, in this way, the small number of young users of Lianzhong will also disappear. After more than ten years, when these young people become middle-aged, and mobile phone games replace computer games, the end of Lianzhong is almost the same. It's coming.

But it doesn't matter, who cares about things ten years from now.

In this way, Lianzhong's life became leisurely again, until one day, Bao Yueqiao, the chairman of Lianzhong, received a report from the secretary that a man named Liu Xiangjiang, who claimed to be the vice president of Jiangnan Group, came to visit .

"What are the people from the Jiangnan Group doing? Showing off their power?" Bao Yueqiao couldn't figure out the other party's purpose, but still asked the secretary to invite them in.

After exchanging pleasantries between the two parties, Liu Xiangjiang got straight to the point and said, "Chairman Bao, you also know that our Jiangnan Computer Technology Service Company under the Jiangnan Group has established the game platform OO, and our group is determined to enter the game platform." fields, while integrating casual games and large stand-alone game resources.”

"In order to avoid more unnecessary competition between us in the future, I represent our company to talk to Chairman Bao, hoping to acquire the main shares of Ourgame World. From then on, the two of us will become one and share resources. Not beautiful!"

"Buy our company!" Bao Yueqiao pondered for a while, thinking quickly.

For the acquisition, Bao Yueqiao actually did not have the so-called rejection or approval, because although he is the chairman of the company, the main equity is no longer in his hands. Just a few months ago, Haihong Holdings acquired Lianzhong World 66.7 % of the shares, the shares in the hands of the three founders including Bao Yueqiao are only 33.3%.

It's just that Haihong Holdings also made it clear that they have no interest in intervening in the operation and fully support Bao Yueqiao, so Bao Yueqiao's position in the company is still very stable.

Now whether Lianzhong World is acquired or not doesn’t really matter to Bao Yueqiao. Anyway, it’s just a change of controlling shareholder. Bao Yueqiao’s interests will not be lost. Moreover, in order to obtain Bao Yueqiao’s support for the acquisition, OO must privately The bottom will give Bao Yueqiao a lot of benefits. If it is acquired in this way, Bao Yueqiao will benefit even more.

Analyzing it from the bottom of his heart, Bao Yueqiao actually supported the acquisition, as long as the OO money was enough, he would support it with both hands and feet.

So the crux of the matter is money.

"I already know what your company means. Being able to get the help of your company's huge resources is also very beneficial to our United World. I personally support this acquisition plan very much."

"But you also know that I am only the nominal chairman of Lianzhong World. The real controlling stake in the company is not in my hands. You have to go and talk to Haihong Holdings."

"Of course, if your company is not very familiar with Haihong Holdings, then I can also act as an intermediary to help you get in touch, but Haihong Holdings is a very traditional company, and you can't see your company's products. What an important help, they are only interested in the amount of money!"

"So can your company tell me how much money you plan to spend to acquire Lianzhong World, so that I can also talk to Haihong Holdings and help everyone reach a cooperation as soon as possible!" Bao Yueqiao said very nicely, but in fact He just wanted to find out what the bottom line of Jiangnan's price was, so as to decide whether to help Lianzhong World sell itself, and sell himself by the way.

"Well, I understand. In fact, I'm not very sure how much the company is willing to pay. After all, no one knows the bottom line in our Chairman Huang's heart. I can only tell Mr. Bao that we can pay At a price of 3000 million RMB! To acquire a total of 60% of your company's shares!"

"3000 million!" Bao Yueqiao's face instantly became displeased. He was not satisfied with this price.

In fact, this price is not too low, because when they sold themselves to Haihong Holdings a few months ago, they only sold 66.7% of the shares for 2 million yuan. Now Jiangnan Group is willing to pay 000 million yuan to acquire 3 % of the shares, this has risen by 000%, which is a pretty good price.

But Bao Yueqiao felt that it was too low, because these few months were also the time when the number of users of Ourgame World skyrocketed. In a few months, the number of registered users increased by nearly 1000 million, making the total number of registered users of Ourgame World reach 4 million people, including 000 member users, and 50 online users at the same time.

Membership is the most proud performance in the world, because these are real members who are willing to pay for it. These members need to pay a membership fee of 30 yuan per month to enjoy some value-added services of Ourgame World.

This kind of achievement is in the whole circle, and only Ourgame World can achieve it. Other companies want to open membership services, but they will only be hit by reality. above.

The main reason why Ourgame has such excellent performance is because of their customer base.

As I said before, their customers are all middle-aged people over the age of 30. These people are generally middle-class and above people sitting in the office, and they have money to spend on the Internet.

Secondly, Ourgame World is different from other online companies that sell point-of-sale card charges. Their charging means mainly rely on telephone charges.

Seeing here, many post-00s may not understand at all, how to charge for this call!

In the era when online banking was not widespread, Internet companies only charged by phone besides point cards.

The general method is that you call the special phone number displayed on the top-up page, and after you get connected, the other end of the phone will ask you for the top-up amount, enter the amount with the number keys on the phone, and then click the pound key to confirm, and the top-up can be completed.

Or you leave your recharge amount and phone number on the recharge page, and a call will come back after ten seconds, and the recharge information will be automatically broadcast to you. If you agree with this information, you can press the pound key to confirm , so as to complete the recharge, both are similar routines.

In a few years, there will be phone card recharge, that is, you buy public phone cards produced by various telecommunications companies, or mobile phone recharge cards, and then enter the recharge account numbers and passwords on these cards into the webpage, and You can directly charge the amount on the phone card into the game.

In the final analysis, these means use telecommunications companies as intermediaries. Players first hand over money to telecommunications companies, and then network companies collect money from telecommunications companies, thus realizing a relatively convenient recharge method.

It’s just that if you use these methods to recharge, you often have to make a difference in price by the middleman.

For example, you spent 30 yuan on the phone bill, but only 20 yuan was actually recharged into your account, and the remaining 10 yuan was earned by the telecommunications company, the middleman.

In those days, telecom companies, the middlemen, had a huge appetite. The most ruthless telecom companies even did 1:1 to make the difference. The 30 yuan I received was going to be taken away by the telecommunications company, which is extremely black.

This is also the reason why Alipay and WeChat Pay were able to rise rapidly later. It is really because the telecom companies are too dark. Compared with the telecom companies, products like Alipay are as pure as angels.

However, it is precisely through these means that Ourgame World has successfully earned a lot of income. Last month, Ourgame World achieved profitability for the first time in history, and the membership fee received surpassed the maintenance fee for the first time. The cost of server and network is completely different from that of Lianzhong World, which was still losing money a few months ago.

Anyone who understands understands that whether an Internet company can achieve profitability is completely a matter of two different stock prices, and the price of the former can be multiplied by more than several times, so the current Bao Yueqiao does not value 3000 million yuan at all.
