"F * ck, what's going on?"
"Why didn't they bind the keywords to me?"
"Are they trying to cheat me of my money?"
The next day, Chen Yu opened Baidu and searched. He found that the keywords he put in yesterday were not in the search bar. Chen Yu felt a little strange. He logged into the corporate platform again and found that the one million yuan was still there.
"Strange?"
Logically speaking, since they had accepted the money, they should have quickly invested in promotion.
However, if they did not accept the money, they should have refunded it.
However, when he thought about how the bidding ranking had just been launched, Chen Yu understood a little.
"Maybe Baidu hasn't thought it through yet."
This business was really a little tricky for them.
They could neither accept it nor not accept it.
They were afraid of being scolded if they accepted it.
After all, although the Internet law was not perfect and was not illegal, it was morally wrong.
However, if they did not accept it, it was one million yuan.
Moreover, it was not just one million yuan. If they used up one million yuan, they would have to continue charging.
It was like playing a game.
If they wanted to become stronger, they had to continue charging.
Moreover, this should be the biggest business deal Baidu had ever done since it started the auction ranking system. There was no way they would give it up.
Since they had already created the bidding ranking, this kind of thing would happen sooner or later.
They should have thought it through.
After thinking about it, Chen Yu did not apply for a refund.
He would let Baidu think it through.
Anyway, this was Baidu's business. He was not the one being scolded.
He just had to wait patiently.
"Sister Yang, come over."
After closing the webpage, Chen Yu thought that he had spent a lot of money during this period of time. He called Yang Lan over.
"Boss Chen, you were looking for me?"
After a few minutes, Yang Lan, who was in charge of the company's finance and taxes, came to Chen Yu's office.
"Yes."
Chen Yu nodded. "The company has been doing a lot of business recently, and the expenses have been relatively high. Calculate how long we can operate normally with our current expenses."
"Boss Chen, if it was just our 5173 network, we would have a few million in profit every month. However, ever since the launch of YY, our expenses have been quite high. In addition, we've recently hired a lot of people, so our expenses in terms of personnel are also quite high. In addition, Manager Zhang gave me two advertising fees yesterday. The amount is still quite large after all. I estimate that within a year, we will have problems with cash flow. "
"Oh, there's one more thing that I haven't counted. I've started another promotional business in Baidu."
"How much is this business?"
"About one million a month."
"So many?"
"Sigh, these big shots are all vampires."
"If that's the case, then we may have a cash flow problem within half a year."
"Half a year."
Chen Yu calculated in his mind.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
If there was a cash flow problem after half a year, the company would be in a passive position.
This passivity would not cause the company to close down. 5173 was still profitable.
But the key was that his fantasies might not be able to hold on.
After all, YY didn't earn much money in the beginning.
It wasn't just YY. Even QQ had just started to make money, and the level of profit was very limited.
The reason why they could still hold on was entirely because they received a financing from MIH last year.
"Boss Chen, I think we should proceed with the first round of financing."
Yang Lan suggested.
"Financing? Have any investors contacted us?"
"A few, SoftBank and Sequoia Capital. In addition, Shin-Lang Network is also very interested in us. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to tell you. Using this opportunity, I think we should consider financing. "
"Oh, have they made an offer?"
"We've just contacted them. The specific price still needs to be discussed. However, SoftBank is quite optimistic about us. They said that if we are interested, they will provide no less than 50 million USD as a financing quota."
"50 million USD, how many shares does that take?"
"I'll contact them again."
"There's no need to contact them."
Chen Yu shook his head, "I'm not against financing, but the cost of financing now is too high."
The Internet was a bottomless pit.
Because of this, it was impossible for Internet companies to not have financing.
No matter how big the company, no matter how big the enterprise, it still needed financing.
Chen Yu was not the kind of person who wanted to control 100% of the shares, although he also had a desire to control.
However, he understood that financing was not only about absorbing capital, it was also about using capital to solve some problems that could not be solved.
After all, the power of one person was limited. The addition of capital could not only allow the company to develop quickly, but it could also avoid a lot of trouble. However, Chen Yu could not accept sacrificing a large portion of the shares.
Huanyu Technologies was now in the growth stage. If they were to merge now, even if they were to give up 10% of the shares, Chen Yu would be heartbroken.
Moreover, this was only the early stage of the Internet's development. Once everyone was burning money, the shares would be diluted even faster.
"Boss Chen, Penguin raised funds in the second half of last year. If we don't raise funds, then we shouldn't invest so much in the instant messaging business."
"If we don't enter the instant messaging business now, we won't have a chance to enter it in the future."
"Then for 5173, for YY, we should consider financing now. If we don't raise funds, we might not be able to compete with Penguin. "
After going around in circles, financing was the best choice.
However, Chen Yu shook his head. "I know, but we don't necessarily need financing now. Isn't there still half a year? Can't we just earn enough money ourselves? "
"Earn money ourselves?"
Yang Lan was a little confused.
The most profitable website now was 5173.
However, no matter how profitable 5173 was, it was still a middleman.
Could a middleman make more money than a game company?
However, when she thought of this, Yang Lan said, "Boss Chen, do you mean that we should enter the game business?"
"That's right."
How could Chen Yu just be a middleman website?
He had wanted to enter the game business for a long time.
However, in order to stabilize the website and launch YY first, he had pushed back the game business.
Now, it seemed that the game business was imperative.
As he spoke, Chen Yu called Li Nan and Zhang Jianming to his office.
"Boss Chen, the recommendation code is out."
"Boss Chen, Wang Chang has contacted the founders of the major software companies and is just waiting to sign the cooperation contract."
Li Nan and Zhang Jianming thought that Chen Yu was asking about the previous matter, so they reported to Chen Yu.
"Okay, you guys can do these two things as before. Now, I called you here to talk about something else."
"What is it?"
"Are you interested in making games?"
When it came to games, Zhang Jianming suddenly said excitedly.
"F * ck, isn't that obvious?"
"I've been waiting for you to say this."
Zhang Jianming was a game enthusiast. Even now, he still played Legend of Mir from time to time.
Even if he didn't have time to play, he would ask Fatty Wang's studio to help him level up.
When Chen Yu said this, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Uh, Boss Chen, don't look at me. I don't know much about game technology."
Seeing Chen Yu looking at him, Li Nan was a little embarrassed, but he still said, "But, I also support making games."
