Chen Tianqiao is a tough guy. He fell in love with legend, a Korean game. He wanted to get the agency right in China, but zhonghua.com, the investor behind it, didn''t agree with him. There were differences between the two sides.
In 1999, Chen Tianqiao got the investment of 3 million US dollars from zhonghua.com and established shanda.com. But this time, he resolutely insisted on his own opinion, so Zhonghua net withdrew the company''s shares and parted ways with it. In 2001, Chen Tianqiao decided to bet on life and death. With only $300000 left, he won the agency of legend from Actoz of South Korea. At this moment, Shanda network is at the end of its tether. It doesn''t even have the money to rent servers and buy broadband. Chen Tianqiao can only look for partners and support everywhere. However, there is no well-known online game in China. Regardless of the industry, Chen Tianqiao can only come back disappointed!
At the end of his life, Chen Tianqiao was forced to play a super classic empty handed white wolf, which brought the whole game of chess to life. Legend has become a big hit, and created his own "legend"!!!!
Yes, he has become a legend himself!
And Chen Tianqiao''s empty handed and white wolf''s technique makes people talk about it with relish. This year, after the signing of the game contract, he needed many servers, but he had no money to buy these devices. In such a difficult situation, he did not shrink back, but took this paper with the South Korean business "international contract", knocking on the door of server manufacturers such as Inspur and Dell.
When everyone questioned this empty handed customer, he took out this "international contract" and told them with great momentum: "we are going to run Korean games. I apply to try the machine for two months." Server manufacturers take a look at the contract, it is indeed an international formal contract, the young man convinced them, let them see the potential strength, so agreed. With the momentum of an international contract, he got millions of servers. But even so, he lacks broadband support. So he took up the cooperation agreement with server manufacturers such as Inspur and Dell and came to China Telecom.
"I want to run Korean games. Inspur and Dell all provide servers for me. We need a lot of bandwidth to operate the games. Please provide us with free broadband trial during the test period," he said to the staff of China Telecom When people from China Telecom saw that Inspur and Dell had signed a free trial server contract with him, they concluded that this young man had a lot of potential, so they also helped him and provided him with a free broadband trial.
In this way, relying on the momentum brought by the two contracts, he got the perfect basic equipment, so his game test ran smoothly. As a result, after the game test, he was greatly welcomed. Nearly two months later, his game began to charge. After just one month, his investment has been fully recovered, and get a huge return!
It''s April 2001, and Chen Tianqiao has not yet reached this "dead end". At present, he is still seeking the support of venture capital. If ICQ wants to invest in Shanda network at this time, Chen Tianqiao will definitely cry
"Mr. Williams, since you are so optimistic about legend, are you going to let ICQ invest in Shanda network?" Ma Huateng asked.
"Yes, Chen Tianqiao and Shanda network are in the most difficult time. I hope ICQ can acquire Shanda network and at least get 75% of the shares!" Henry solemnly said in a deep voice, "Ma Huateng, I''ll leave it to you to do it. You must do it well!"
"Don''t worry, Mr. Williams. I promise I''ll finish what you told me!"
"Well, that''s good!" Henry nodded.
In 2004, Tencent, Tom, Skynet and other 11 Internet companies landed in overseas capital markets. However, the other 10 IPO companies together, the influence is not as good as another company listed in the same year - Shanda! Shanda has set a lot of records. At that time, it was the most valuable company in China and the most valuable game company in the world. 31 year old, self-made China''s richest man, this record is not only unprecedented, I''m afraid there will be no future!
Shanda network''s Shanda game has since become the overlord of China''s game industry, and then Shanda network launched the "network Disney" plan, elaborately created Shanda literature, including the starting point, Hongxiu Tianxiang net, romance novel bar, Jinjiang literature City, banyan tree, Xiaoxiang academy, seven original literature websites, Tianfang Tingshu net and Yuedu net. In addition, it also owns three book planning and publishing companies.
The dominance of Shanda literature in the industry even surpasses the Shanda game in the peak period, and its influence is unique for a while!
Chen Tianqiao is very talented!
After Ma Huateng got the order, he immediately went to Shanghai to meet Chen Tianqiao.
Watching Ma Huateng leave, Henry can''t help but feel funny. In this life, the two enemies of the previous life in the game industry will sit together, and they will have to work for themselves in the future.
……
The next afternoon, Ma Huateng came to Shanghai.
"Hello, Mr. Ma, you are very welcome!" Chen Tianqiao could not hide his excitement and looked at each other.
"Hello, Mr. Chen!" Ma Huateng walked into Shanda network company, looked around, but saw that only a dozen employees were defeated here, which was very shabby!
"Sit down, Mr. Ma. What would you like to drink? Water or coffee? "
"Just plain water!"
Luo Qianqian, Chen Tianqiao''s wife, immediately poured two glasses of water. Luo Qianqian is beautiful and capable. She is Chen Tianqiao''s good wife and Shanda''s director. She holds the post of vice president.
"Mr. Chen, it is said that Shanda network is seeking financial support everywhere?"
"Yes Chen Tianqiao nodded and admitted.
"ICQ is more interested in Shanda, willing to invest in you!" Ma Huateng drank water and said, "according to the current situation of your company, there seems to be nothing valuable except the agency right of legend, a Korean game. As a result, ICQ plans to invest US $10 million in Shanda network, holding 80% of the shares. After signing the contract, ICQ will publicize "legend" in an all-round way, import a large amount of traffic, and strive for a big hit
Chen Tianqiao and Luo Qianqian look at each other, and the conditions are very good, but in this way, the control of the whole company is ICQ
"Mr. Ma, we can accept $5 million and let ICQ hold 40%!" Chen Tianqiao said.
Ma Huateng laughed, "ICQ''s original intention is to acquire Shanda network. The reason why it left you 20% is that you are the entrepreneurial team of Shanda company. I think it''s not too much to exchange US $10 million for 80% equity, and you should also be very clear, with the support of ICQ, what''s the future of Shanda network?! Think about it. If the company develops in the future, it will be listed on NASDAQ. At that time, it will be possible for its market value to reach billions of dollars!
Mr. Chen, if you miss such a good opportunity, you will be too late to repent. You have to think about it clearly! "
