"Li Nan, wait, there's one more thing."
Li Nan was about to leave when Chen Yu spoke again.
"Boss Chen, what's the matter?"
"Well, how long will it take for you to make an instant messaging system?"
"Boss Chen, are you really going to make instant messaging?"
Li Nan was excited.
He knew that Chen Yu couldn't keep working on the game website forever.
It didn't mean that the game website had no future.
The game website had a future, but it couldn't compare to instant messaging.
"Well, let's try it first. However, our positioning is a bit different from ordinary instant messaging."
"Boss Chen, can you tell me your idea?"
"Well … it's hard to say now."
"Instant messaging is not difficult. I can make it in one day."
"No way."
Chen Yu was dumbfounded. "You did it in a day? Are you cheating?"
"Haha, Boss Chen, don't forget that I developed UC. I have the source code."
"UC's source code?"
Chen Yu paused and said, "Isn't that Shin-Lang's?"
"Shin-Lang had the initial intention to invest, but Penguin was too strong, so UC failed. Later, Shin-Lang wanted to develop it himself, so our UC team was disbanded. The source code was finally mine. "
"Are there any problems with the copyright?"
"I can guarantee that there are no problems. The source code is now mine."
"Okay, the company will buy your UC source code for 100,000 yuan."
"Boss Chen, don't ask for so much."
"It's okay. You gave me a surprise. I thought it would take several months. Since you have the UC source code, that's great. Later, you can modify the source code. Also, add a new function. "
"What function?"
"Chat room."
Li Nan was puzzled. "Adding a chat room to instant messaging? Isn't this technology regressing? Besides, with instant messaging, there's no need for a chat room. "
In the early days of the Internet, forums and chat rooms were relatively popular.
Everyone probably used forums.
As for the chat rooms, some of them were similar to the livestream rooms.
The only difference was that the livestream was audio-visual, while the chat rooms in the early days were written.
Everyone entered this chat room because of a topic, and started chatting about everything.
However, with the advent of instant messaging, chat rooms slowly declined.
Chen Yu's suggestion of adding a chat room on top of instant messaging was indeed a bit of a regression in Li Nan's technology.
"From a technical point of view, there are indeed some regressions, but instant messaging isn't all there is to socializing. Although chat rooms would gradually be replaced by instant messaging, in many cases, instant messaging could not replace chat rooms. Make it first, and then you'll know the effect. Of course, let's complete the guild system first. "
"Yes, Boss Chen."
Although he still didn't understand, as Chen Yu said, he would see how effective it was after he made it.
…
Sohu Games branch office.
As one of the four major web portals, Zhang Chaoyang couldn't sit still when he saw NetEase making a lot of money in games. He established a Sohu gaming division and prepared to enter the online gaming industry.
However, it was different from NetEase.
Although Sohu also made games, other than making games, he also planned to set up a gaming portal.
After all, Zhang Chaoyang started with a portal, and he knew the role of a portal.
This way, he could control the production and marketing of his games. He didn't have to worry about his games not becoming popular. This was called being prepared for nothing.
For this reason, Sohu bought 17173 immediately.
Of course, Sohu wanted to buy 5173 at first, but after some calculations, it was not worth it. After all, Sohu did not have much money left during the dotcom bubble in 2000. If not, they would not think of making money from games. Thinking about it this way, it would be better to buy a 17173 that had some experience but didn't require much money.
With the help of Sohu's portal, 17173 could easily buy 5173.
At this time, Gu Yongqiang was in charge of Sohu gaming division.
Gu Yongqiang went to Australia to study when he was 14 years old, and later, he was admitted to the University of California, Berkeley. After graduation, he worked at Bain Capital for a period of time. After that, he returned to China and entered Fuguo Investment. He became famous in the investment field. In 1998, Gu Yongqiang started to pay attention to the internet and got to know Sohu's Zhang Chaoyang. Gu Yongqiang had wanted to invest in Sohu, but Zhang Chaoyang noticed that Gu Yongqiang was compatible with him. He told Gu Yongqiang not to invest in him and come to Sohu to be the President.
With Gu Yongqiang's help and his background, Sohu grew rapidly. In a short period of time, Sohu grew rapidly and was listed in the US.
This time, Zhang Chaoyang sent Gu Yongqiang to set up Sohu's online gaming division. This showed how much importance Sohu placed on online gaming.
"Manager Gu, I did not expect 5173 to counterattack so quickly."
"We had just signed the contract, and 5173 had started to advertise on all major websites."
"If this continues, it will be hard for 17173 to get up."
The person who spoke to Gu Yongqiang was the founder of 17173, Cai Zongjian.
Cai Zongjian was wearing a pair of glasses, and he looked very gentle.
He used to be a gaming enthusiast, and he started 17173 as a hobby.
Cai Zongjian likes to collect information about online games. But slowly, 17173's traffic increased, and Cai Zongjian realized this hobby could be his career. So, he started to invest in 17173. But it's a pity that 17173 did not develop for long. 5173 came in halfway.
Cai Zongjian, who does not have enough funds, lost the competition with 5173.
Cai Zongjian thought after Sohu acquired 5173, he could make use of Sohu's traffic to get rid of 5173. However, before they could do anything, 5173 quickly rushed over to them.
"Xiao Cai, I had investigated 5173. They do not have enough funds to advertise. At most, they can only advertise for a week, and they might not be able to survive. "
"But this will put us in a passive position. Also, their advertisements are too shameless. 5173 is the number one gaming portal. We still don't know who will be the number one and number two."
"Don't be calculative about this. When they run out of funds, our new gaming channel will be released."
"Ok."
Cai Zongjian nodded and said: "Oh yes, Manager Gu, I heard that 5173 is advertising in Sohu?"
"There is such a thing."
"Isn't this disgusting? Do they want Sohu to advertise for them?"
"Yes, they are disgusting."
Gu Yongqiang laughed: "But this is nothing. I had asked the advertising department to agree."
"Ah, Manager Gu, you are really advertising for them?"
"It will be a waste if we don't earn money. Furthermore, how long can they last? Don't worry. 5173 is only a small website. Sohu can easily destroy a small website. "
