my return 2002

Chapter 174 Backstabbing
Grand conference room.

Chen Tianqiao glanced at the executives present, then looked at Tang Jun, and said with a stern face: "Mr. Tang, the plan can't keep up with the changes, and our IPO process may be accelerated."

The senior executives present looked at each other in silence. Everyone knew what Chen Tianqiao meant. The popularity of the first day of Jianyujianghu closed beta put a lot of pressure on the entire online game industry in the mainland, especially Shanda.

As the leader in the mainland online game market, Shanda not only occupies the largest market, but is also the most profitable company. Even if Ninetowns and NetEase are combined, they are not as profitable as Shanda. The gorgeous profit data is also short of Shanda. The greatest confidence to go public in the United States in two years.

However, the emergence of "Jianyu Jianghu" is destined to take a big piece of cake in the original online game market. As far as it is concerned, there is no game in the same period that will be the opponent of "Jianyu Jianghu". This is the quality of the game. decided.

Of course, it is not realistic to shake Shanda's No. 1 position in the mainland online game market with only one "Jianyu Jianghu".

Even worse, Shanda is going public in the US!
Tang Jun also understood Chen Tianqiao's thoughts. "Jianyu Jianghu" has just undergone internal testing, and there will be a public testing later before it will be officially launched. Even if it is the fastest, it will take two months. Received data will not be affected too much.

American investors do not understand the situation in the mainland, they only look at the financial report data, as long as the company's profit data in the financial report is good, they will invest money.

Of course, Tang Jun also knows that the two-month listing time is very tight. Even if Shanda has done most of the work before, this is still a difficult task.

"Mr. Chen, two months is really too tight, I'm afraid."

Before Tang Jun finished speaking, Chen Tianqiao interrupted: "Mr. Tang, I spent a huge annual salary to invite you here, not to hear you say this. Shanda must be listed before May, otherwise all our previous efforts will be lost. It's all in vain, I think Mr. Tang doesn't want to be said to be right by then, just take money and do nothing, right?"

Tang Jun's expression became ugly when he heard the words. Indeed, the outside world now knows that Chen Tianqiao invited him here for the purpose of listing. If the listing fails, there will be stains on his beautiful resume, which will directly affect his status as a top professional manager. Image, will there be companies that will hire him with a high salary in the future?

"I understand Mr. Chen, tomorrow I will fly to the United States to meet Mr. York of Goldman Sachs."

Chen Tianqiao's face softened, and he nodded: "Well, then Mr. Tang will work hard."

After finishing speaking, Chen Tianqiao turned his attention to other executives, and said decisively: "I don't care what method you use. In the last two months, I want to see a significant increase in performance. If I can't do it, I will leave at any time."

All the senior executives present are all grimacing, especially Cai Zhongjian. 17173 is going from bad to worse now, not to mention the growth in performance. Fire it, anyway, he didn't want to do it for a long time, and now, for him, every day he stays in 17173 is a torment.

However, compared to Cai Zhongjian, Tan Qunzhao was more depressed. As the CEO of Shanda Games, his task must be the heaviest.

Shanda's main business is games, and none of the projects it has acquired are making money, and they are basically losing money, relying on Shanda Games for blood transfusion.

But Tan Qunzhao couldn't help it, Shanda was Chen Tianqiao's Shanda alone, and everyone else had to obey what he said.

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting, Old Tan, please stay here for a while."

After everyone else left, Chen Tianqiao said to Tan Qunzhao earnestly: "Old Tan, you have worked hard these years, how about this, I will transfer you 50 original shares privately, and you still have to buy them again in these two months." Work harder and carry the burden."

Chen Tianqiao knew that it would be impossible to let the horse run without feeding the horse.

Sure enough, Tan Qunzhao immediately came to his senses: "Everything Mr. Chen said is what I should do. Don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"

Coming out of the office, Tan Qunzhao gathered all the game planners, and then assigned them profit-making tasks one by one.

All the game planners are confused, especially the Legendary game planner. The legendary game has already belonged to the ceiling of the industry, and it has been popular for two years. No matter how popular the game is, it also has a life cycle. Soft company fell out, and the two sides also filed a lawsuit in Singapore.

Although the reconciliation was finally made, a lot of time was delayed in the middle, and it also caused some very bad effects. Even the agency right of [Legend 3] was handed over to Guangtong by Actoz Soft.

Not only the game planning of Legendary, but the game planning of BNB also struggles with the task of making money. Although BNB has 50 players online at the same time, the profit is less than a fraction of that of Legendary. Most of them are casual players. It is not easy to make money from them.

But there is no way, the official university ranks down people, Tan Qunzhao has already issued a death order, Shanda's game planner can only squeeze his brain cells desperately, thinking about organizing some activities to encourage players to spend.

Legendary’s game planner thought of opening a triple experience event to extend the number of point cards consumed by players. In addition, he also made a point card full gift activity, where you get [-] points for every [-] points and [-] points for every [-] points. Ten, the highest amount even gives out [-] for every [-].

It has to be said that such a large-scale activity has indeed attracted many players to recharge, but point cards are consumption in advance. I am afraid that the sales performance of legendary point cards will not be very good for a long time in the future.

Legendary can rely on point card discounts to stimulate consumption, but as a free casual game, how can BNB increase revenue?
Only props can be sold. The game planning of BNB originally designed some character costumes that would not affect the balance of the game. However, the sales were not particularly good, and the task was still far from being completed.

There is no way for the game planner to grit his teeth, and simply learn from other online games and start to build a reinforcement system. Through reinforcement, the power of mines or defense can be improved.

Not to mention, this really makes many RMB players feel the joy of recharging. Others need several landmines to blow themselves up, but one mine can kill others. This is what RMB players should have. The treatment, immediately attracted many players to recharge and spend.

In the beginning, civilian players didn't pay much attention to it, but as time went by, they found that they died frequently, and it was very difficult to blow up their opponents.

As a result, more and more civilian players began to protest on the official website of BNB, and some of them quit the game directly, which also caused the number of players of BNB to gradually decline.

Compared with Shanda's fierce reaction, Ninetowns seems calm. It's not that Ninetowns can't feel the pressure brought by "Jianyu Jianghu", but that Zhu Jun, the boss of Ninetowns, has recently been addicted to "Jianyu Jianghu" and can't extricate himself. I don't care about the company's affairs.

And Zhu Jun is not playing alone, he has developed the management of the self-developed department and game planning into a player of "Sword Rain Jianghu".

Of course, in Zhu Jun’s words, he let the people in the self-research department see other people’s strengths through playing games, so that they can learn from each other in future self-research projects and learn from each other’s strengths.

NetEase did not make any big moves. Ding Sanshi is very clear about the current position of NetEase, and he is not focused on developing games. At this time, Ding Sanshi is still a young man with dreams. He has just become the richest man in the mainland, what is he thinking? Improving the ranking of the NetEase portal website has been suppressed by Sina and Sohu all these years, and he feels aggrieved.

The most terrible thing is Jinshan, Qiu Bojun has recently been exuding a kind of aura that strangers should not get close to, everyone is avoiding him, for fear of being scolded by him if he finds a reason.

Since the closed beta of "Jianyu Jianghu", the number of online users of Jianxia Qingyuan has been declining. It stands to reason that the activation code of "Jianyu Jianghu" on the market has already been fired at 500 yuan, and the stock is not much. It should not have such a big impact on other games. The impact is right.

However, who made Jianxia Qingyuan and Jianyu Jianghu both martial arts games, as if a person has been eating simple food and not feeling anything, but once he is allowed to eat abalone wing belly, he will be willing to eat simple food again ?

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Many swordsman love players would rather watch others play in Internet cafes than log in to the game again, and this situation is not uncommon.

In many Internet cafes, there is a scene. If there are a lot of people around a machine, it must be playing "Jian Yu Jiang Hu"

The most frustrating thing for Qiu Bojun is that Shanda, who had promised to start an in-depth cooperation with Jinshan, suddenly had no news. Qiu Bojun's call to Tan Qunzhao was just perfunctory, and for the sake of Shanda's overall revenue data, Shanda also increased A commission for game point card sales.

This made Qiu Bojun so angry that he almost vomited blood, and there was nothing he could do. He couldn't lick his face and go back to Shen Lang, right?

What makes Qiu Bojun even more mad is that 360 Security Guard is encroaching on the anti-virus software market step by step. The market share of Kingsoft Antivirus has shrunk to less than 30% of the same period last year, and the revenue is even more unpredictable. The company has three consecutive years. loss for the month.

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Qiu Bojun's mind: How about I do it for free?
In Qiu Bojun's view, the reason why 360 Security Guard can acquire so many users in such a short period of time is that it does not require money. Anyway, Kingsoft Internet Security can't make money now, so what if it is free?As long as you have enough users, you might be able to make money by selling advertisements.

Thinking of this, Qiu Bojun immediately called the person in charge of Jinshan Drug Bully to the office.

The executive opened the door cautiously, with a smile on his face: "President, are you looking for me?"

Qiu Bojun nodded, and then he said his thoughts again. This person was dumbfounded. He remembered that Qiu Bojun scolded 360 security guards in the media for disrupting the anti-virus software market. All I heard was hallucinations?

"Please, this is not good, is it? We still have so many paying users. If it is free, what will they do?"

In order to delay the listing plan of Rising, Jinshan sold a large number of members at ultra-low prices. Some members even bought it for three years at a time in order to save money. It has only been one year.

Qiu Bojun also frowned when he heard this, but then he still gritted his teeth and said: "These users probably won't renew their subscriptions when their membership expires, so you can design a few less important functions and limit the membership to free use! "

"."

Although there is a great controversy within Jinshan about the fact that Jinshan Duba is free, but since Lei Jun left, no one can stop Qiu Bojun from making any major decisions.

Soon, Kingsoft announced that Kingsoft Antivirus will be fully free.

This is undoubtedly a blockbuster.

Of course, Wang Xin and Wang Jiangmin were not the first to be hit by the bomb.

Wang Xin blatantly scolded Qiu Bojun in the face of the media for not believing his words, and he should never have believed his nonsense in the first place.

Although Wang Xin did not disclose the alliance between them, this sentence alone was enough to make the media fantasize, and soon various articles with this title appeared on various media pages.

Guessing and adding some so-called insider clues, not to mention really restoring the situation of the battle between Jinshan and 360 security guards.

Wang Jiangmin also ran to Qiu Bojun's office angrily and cursed: "You liar!"

Qiu Bojun was spit on, but he didn't have any temper at all. He couldn't help but feel guilty. He had indeed betrayed the covenant.

"Hey, Lao Wang, you have also seen that the charge market for anti-virus software has been destroyed by that boy surnamed Shen. If we don't change it, we will have to be wiped out by him."

Wang Jiangmin sneered for a while: "It was you who destroyed the antivirus software charging market, and you stabbed us in the back. Hmph, do you think you can compete with that kid surnamed Shen for free? Just wait and see, the three of us, the last You must be the first to die!"

After speaking, Wang Jiangmin slammed the door and left.

Qiu Bojun stared at his back in a daze, and then his eyes gradually became firmer.

"No, I can definitely turn the tide, just wait and see!"

Needless to say, Kingsoft Internet Security has brought many users to it for free. After all, as an old-fashioned antivirus software, many users still recognize the Kingsoft brand.

However, by doing so, Jinshan undoubtedly stabbed the previous paying users in the back. Paying users have posted posts on the Internet angrily denouncing Jinshan's shameless behavior.

"RNM, refund the money!"

Regarding Jinshan Drug Bully's free offer, Shen Lang really admired Qiu Bojun's courage, but Lei Jun said with emotion.

"Jinshan is getting farther and farther away from being listed."
