Silicon Valley

Chen Tianqiao is a very powerful person. He fell in love with the Korean game "Legend" at a glance and wanted to obtain the agency rights in China, but the investor behind it, China.com, disagreed, and the two sides had disagreements.

In 1999, Chen Tianqiao received an investment of US$3 million from China.com and established Shanda Network. But this time, he resolutely insisted on his own opinion, so China.com withdrew its shares in the company and parted ways with it. In 2001, Chen Tianqiao decided to "gamble" on his life and death. With the remaining US$300,000, he won the agency rights of "Legend" from South Korea's ACTOZ company. At this moment, Shanda Network can be said to be at the end of its rope. It doesn't even have the money to rent servers and buy broadband... There is no way, Chen Tianqiao can only look for partners and support. However, there are no well-known online games in China. Regardless of the industry, Chen Tianqiao can only run into walls repeatedly and return disappointed!

Under the desperation, Chen Tianqiao in his previous life was forced to perform a super classic empty-glove white wolf, thus bringing the whole game to life. "!" ! ! !

Yes, he became a legend himself!

However, Chen Tianqiao's previous life's empty-glove white-wolf technique is starting to make people talk about it. This year, after the game contract was signed, he needed a lot of servers, but he didn't have the money to buy these devices. In such a predicament, he did not shrink back, but took this "international contract" with a Korean businessman and knocked on the doors of server manufacturers such as Inspur and Dell.

When everyone questioned this customer who came empty-handed, he took out this "international contract" and told them with great momentum: "We want to run Korean games, and I apply for a trial machine for two months." Looking at the contract, it was indeed an international formal contract. This young man convinced them and let them see his potential strength, so he agreed. With the momentum of an international contract, he got a server worth millions. But even so, he still lacks the support of broadband. Therefore, he picked up the cooperation agreements with server manufacturers such as Inspur and Dell and came to China Telecom.

He still said to the staff of China Telecom with great momentum: "I want to run Korean games. Inspur and Dell provide me with servers. We need a lot of bandwidth to operate games. Please provide us with free Broadband trial." The people from China Telecom saw that Inspur and Dell had signed a free trial server contract with him, and concluded that this young man had a lot of background and potential to be tapped, so he also helped him and provided him with Free broadband trial.

In this way, relying on the majestic momentum brought by the two contracts, he obtained a complete basic equipment, so his game test ran smoothly, and after the game test, he received a huge welcome. Nearly two months later, his game started charging. After just one more month, his investment was fully recouped, and he got a huge return!

It is now April 2001, Chen Tianqiao has not yet embarked on this "dead end", and is still seeking the support of venture capital. If at this time, ICQ said that it would invest in Shanda Network, Chen Tianqiao would definitely cry...

"Mr. Williams, since you are so optimistic about "Legend", do you intend to let ICQ invest in Shanda Network?" Ma Huateng asked.

"That's right, Chen Tianqiao and Shanda Network are in the most difficult time. I hope that ICQ can acquire Shanda Network, at least 75% of the shares!" Henry said solemnly, "Ma Huateng, this matter I will leave it to you to do it, and it must be done well!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Williams, I promise to complete the task you asked!"

"Well, that's good!" Henry nodded.

In the previous life, 2004 was the super year of China's Internet. In this year, 11 Internet companies such as Tencent, TOM, and Kongzhong entered the overseas capital market. However, the influence of the other 10 IPO companies is not as influential as that of another company listed in the same year - Shanda! The grand listing has set many records. It was the Chinese concept stock company with the highest market value at that time, and the game company with the highest market value in the world. The 31-year-old self-made richest man in China, this record is not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented!

Shanda Games, a subsidiary of Shanda Network, has since become the overlord of the Chinese game industry. Later, Shanda Network launched the "Internet Disney" plan, and carefully built Sheng, including Hongxiutianxiang.com, Romance Novels, Jinjiang Literature City, and Under the Banyan Tree. , ***********, Xiaoxiang Academy seven original literature websites and Tianfang Tingshu. In addition, it also owns three book planning and publishing companies.

Sheng's dominance in the industry even surpassed that of Shanda Games at its peak, and its influence was unparalleled for a while!

Chen Tianqiao is quite talented!

After Ma Huateng got the order, he immediately went to Shanghai to meet Chen Tianqiao.

Watching Ma Huateng leave, Henry couldn't help but feel amused. The two rivals in the game world in the previous life will sit together in this life, and they will have to work for him in the future.

...

The next afternoon, Ma Huateng came to Shanghai.

"Hello, Mr. Ma, you are very welcome!" Chen Tianqiao couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and looked at the other party.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!" Ma Huateng walked into Shanda Network Company and looked around, but saw that only a dozen or so employees were defeated here, which is very poor!

"Mr. Ma, please sit down. What would you like to drink? Water or coffee?"

"Plain water is fine!"

Chen Tianqiao's wife, Luo (luo) Qianqian, immediately poured two glasses of water over. Luo Qianqian is beautiful and capable, she is Chen Tianqiao's good helper, and at the same time, Shanda's director and vice president.

"Mr. Chen, it is said that Shanda Network is looking for financial support everywhere?!"

"Yes!" Chen Tianqiao nodded and admitted.

"ICQ is more interested in Shanda and is willing to invest in you!" Ma Huateng drank his saliva and said, "According to the current situation of your company, it seems that there is nothing valuable except for the agency rights of the Korean game "Legend". Therefore, ICQ plans to invest 10 million US dollars in Shanda Network, holding 80% of the shares. After signing the contract, ICQ will comprehensively promote "Legend", introduce a large amount of traffic, and strive to become a hit!"

Chen Tianqiao and Luo Qianqian looked at each other and found that the conditions were very good, but in this way, the control of the entire company belongs to ICQ...

"Mr. Ma, we can accept US$5 million and let ICQ hold 40% of the shares!" Chen Tianqiao said.

Ma Huateng laughed, "The original intention of ICQ was to acquire Shanda Networks. The reason why I left 20% for you is because you are the entrepreneurial team of Shanda. I think it is not too much to exchange 10 million US dollars for 80% of the shares. , and you should also be very clear, with the support of ICQ, what will the future of Shanda Network be like?! Think about it, the company will develop in the future, and it will go public on Nasdaq. At that time, the market value will reach dozens of Billions of dollars are possible!

Mr. Chen, it is such a good opportunity right now, once you miss it, you will regret it, you have to think carefully about it! ! ! "
