my return 2002

Chapter 133
Even if 17173 has temporarily closed the forum posting function, it still can't stop the players from verbal criticism. You don't allow posting, so I will post in other forums. Netizens are definitely a group of energetic and indomitable creatures.

The consequence of this is that more and more netizens know about 17173's "evil deeds". Of course, Shen Lang must have contributed to this.

Cai Zhongjian couldn't argue with this, because he did arrange staff to post posts about Heiduowangame, but he didn't expect to be caught by Duowangame.

Speaking of it, Shen Lang just asked Lin Yong, who is working as a security guard, if he could find the actual IP addresses of some posts, but Lin Yong found them in less than 3 minutes, which is not true. What kind of hacking method was used, but Lin Yong knew the webmasters of some forums, obtained the registered IPs of these accounts through them, and checked them smoothly.

As the incident of 17173's suppression of peers continued to ferment, the number of views and registered users of the multiplayer game ushered in a surge. Li Xuelin also took the opportunity to release a new round of activities, soliciting various game guides, and all guides selected by the official You can get a game point card worth 30 yuan.

In this way, this wave of users can basically be firmly locked into playing more games. Although 17173 also launched a similar event soon, but after two consecutive hits, 17173's status in the eyes of veteran players has plummeted. The effect of the activity is obviously not as good as playing more games.

In this regard, Cai Zhongjian was very troubled, and what made Cai Zhongjian even more depressed was that Sohu exerted more and more pressure in the negotiation, and the quotation became lower and lower, from the initial 2000 million US dollars to 600 million US dollars. .

If it was in the past, Cai Zhongjian would definitely reject Sohu with a firm attitude. However, the pressure to play more games made Cai Zhongjian want to retreat. With such a fierce competitor, he really can't handle it alone. It's better to let this The stall was thrown to Sohu.

Just when Cai Zhongjian was hesitating, good news came suddenly. Shanda completed the value evaluation of 17173, and the final quotation was 1800 million US dollars.

This price made Cai Zhongjian see the sincerity of Shanda, and at the same time secretly regretted it. If he had known earlier that Shanda was also interested in buying, and had sold 17173 before the Duowan game was launched, he might have been able to sell it for a better price.

Cai Zhongjian quickly called all the executives into a meeting.

The executives were immediately divided into two factions. One faction thought it should be sold to Sohu. After all, it was one of the three major portal websites. For Shanda, in the future 17173 can only continue to give Shanda blood transfusions.

The other faction believed that it should be sold to Shanda. First, Shanda offered a higher price. Second, as a game company, Shanda’s business complemented that of 17173, and Shanda would definitely pay more attention to it after the acquisition in the future.

Cai Zhongjian got a headache from the quarrel, and finally decided to sell it to Shanda. The reason is very simple. The price given by Shanda is high. He wants to take the money and leave. At this time, 1800 million US dollars is enough for him to achieve financial freedom. To be a rich man, or to continue to start a business, the money is enough.

The news of 17173 being sold was first reported by Shanda. Chen Tianqiao quickly completed the acquisition. At this time, the most important thing Shanda lacks is money. Even Cai Zhongjian did not expect that Chen Tianqiao would give money so readily, and he was happy to quit early .

But in this way, it can be regarded as putting Sohu on the sidelines. It is said that Zhang Chaoyang is very unhappy, and the outside media once thought that Sohu's acquisition of 17173 was a certainty. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin suddenly came out, so naturally they wanted to report it.

The result was reflected in the US stock market, and Sohu's stock price fell by five points in response.

After Sohu lost the opportunity to acquire 17173, it immediately turned around and started to look for more games, and even raised the offer to 800 million US dollars, but Shen Lang's answer was still the same sentence: it is not for sale below 3000 million US dollars.

If Sohu is willing to spend 3000 million, it won't lose 17173, and the deal will naturally come to an end.

On the other hand, after Shanda took over 17173, he also made adjustments to 17173. The biggest adjustment was to set up a legendary game zone entrance directly on the right side of the 17173 homepage.

It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with doing this. After all, the entire website is owned by others, so it is not allowed to open a back door?

But for other game companies, this kind of behavior is very bad. Ninetowns directly terminated the cooperation with 17173 and handed over all the advertising investment to Duowan Games.

On the one hand, it was to avenge Shanda's unsightly popularity, and on the other hand, it was also a favor sold to Shen Lang.

Ding Sanshi's attitude became more ambiguous. While continuing to cooperate with 17173, he also began to place advertisements in Duowan games. Ding Sanshi even called Shen Lang, saying that he wanted Duowan to help Dahua Westward Journey 2 plan a special project Activity.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the reason why Zhu Jun reacted fiercely was that Ninetowns and Shanda are competing for the leading position of the mainland game company, and both want to go to the US stock market to compete for the title of "the first stock in the mainland game".

However, NetEase has always been the third child anyway, and has no chance to hit the number one position. It is better to have both sides and secretly accumulate strength.

After the news of Shanda's acquisition of 17173 broke out, Shen Lang was also taken aback. It seemed to be different from what he remembered.

This also tells Shen Lang that some things in his previous life are likely to change because of his appearance, and he can no longer make judgments based on past experience.

Moreover, Shanda's acquisition of 17173 also allowed Shen Lang to see Chen Tianqiao's ambitions. In fact, Shanda was the well-deserved overlord of the mainland Internet before the BAT pattern took shape!
For the players, 17173's change of ownership has little to do with them, but 17173's blatant behavior of turning half of the homepage into a legendary game zone is undoubtedly a cause of public outrage.

Many non-legendary players began to gradually shift their browsing focus to Duowan Games, and through the long-term activity of soliciting guides with rewards, the length of Duwan Games' guides has not lost to 17173, which can fully meet the needs of these players.

As of October 10, which is Halloween, the number of registered users of Duowan has exceeded 31 million, equivalent to half of 350, and the user stickiness is also higher than 17173.

On the other hand, after Shanda acquired 17173, it did not continue to compete with Duowan. On the contrary, Chen Tianqiao personally called Shen Lang and expressed his "peaceful" wishes.

But this kind of nonsense can only deceive children. Shen Lang knows very well that Chen Tianqiao must be cleaning up the executives of 17173. As a person with a strong desire to control, he will not allow differences in his company the sound of.

When Shanda completely digests 17173, there will definitely be a battle with Duowan in the future, and it will be a life-and-death duel between the two sides.
