Acquire Actoz.
Yes.
That was Chen Yu's idea.
Of course, it was unlikely that an agency would be able to acquire a game developer.
It was like the relationship between a subsidiary company and its parent company.
However, when the agency became more powerful, this relationship could also be reversed.
Hot-Blooded Legend was a flop in Korea.
Actoz did not make much money from Hot-Blooded Legend in Korea.
On the contrary, once they got the agency in China, the continuous revenue became Actoz's biggest source of profit.
Just think about it. Actoz only took 30% of the revenue and was already making so much money.
Not to mention Shengda, who took 70% of the revenue.
"Of course, there's no need to acquire Actoz completely. Actoz's shares are scattered. The biggest shareholder only has 10% of the shares. You can also acquire some in the secondary market. As long as you're willing to spend money, the other small shareholders are still willing to sell their shares. You just have to get the controlling shares. "
This was not Chen Yu's idea.
That was what Shengda Chen Tianqiao did in the future.
In the future, Actoz kept threatening Chen Tianqiao. Chen Tianqiao finally got angry and personally went to Korea to acquire 29% of Actoz's shares. Now, he had the controlling shares of Actoz.
"Thank you."
Chen Tianqiao was a smart person.
Chen Yu only needed to mention it, and Chen Tianqiao knew what to do.
"I have to make a trip back to Shanghai immediately."
He came and left in a hurry.
A week later, there was news from the industry.
Shengda acquired 29% of Actoz's shares and became Actoz's biggest shareholder. They held a board meeting and re-elected the board of directors. At this point, the grudge between Actoz and Shengda was over.
The board of directors had been replaced. Who had the right to talk about increasing the revenue?
This news naturally shocked the industry.
It was the first time that a game agency had acquired a game developer in the internet industry.
Even if it was not in the internet industry, it was extremely rare in other fields.
However, Shengda did it. Chen Tianqiao did it.
This kind of news also made the people in the industry even more excited.
Online games were indeed very profitable.
Otherwise, how could Chen Tianqiao have the ability to acquire Actoz?
This situation also affected Penguin.
Originally, Penguin was already preparing to enter the online gaming industry. However, due to the influence of this incident, the founders of Penguin decided to place more emphasis on Victorious Return, which was about to enter closed beta. Even Ma Huateng couldn't avoid it.
The competition between Penguin and Huanyu Technologies was like this. QQ Games was defeated by Huanyu Technologies.
Although QQ instant messaging was operating well, its performance was not outstanding.
Only by pinning their hopes on online gaming would they be able to earn enough money.
As long as you have money, you can solve all your problems.
Just like Chen Tianqiao, when the game development company made things difficult for you, you even bought over the development company.
This was the magic of money.
"Liqing, what do you think? Will 5173 give us more marketing resources?"
"I did, but he extorted me again."
"It's fine. You have to bear with it. As long as Victorious Return succeeds in the closed beta, we'll be setting up our own gaming platform in the future. "
"That's for sure. Otherwise, they could seize our lifeline at any time."
Several people once again ridiculed Huanyu Technologies in their hearts.
However, when they saw Victorious Return's performance become more and more popular, more and more players paying attention to the game, everyone was incomparably expectant. They believed that with this kind of result, the closed beta shouldn't be bad.
In fact, it really wasn't bad.
With 5173's marketing, there really wasn't a game that couldn't be released.
On the day of Victorious Return's closed beta, he broke 70,000 simultaneous players.
Although 70,000 simultaneous players couldn't compare to Miracle of the Century, let alone Legend of Mir.
However, breaking 70,000 simultaneous players in the closed beta was already an incomparably beautiful result.
"Haha, brothers, we did it! We did it!"
"Pony, did you see that? 70,000! We broke 70,000 simultaneous players!"
"We're rich, we're rich …"
Ceng Liqing hugged everyone, almost crying.
Thinking back to the time when QQ was sold for 600,000 RMB, he thought.
Even if he did get some money later on, it was still incomparably bitter.
Even with DreamNet and QQ Show, he could only maintain the company's operations and server costs.
Now, he could finally make a steady profit.
Ceng Liqing was incomparably satisfied with this result.
As long as he maintained this kind of result, breaking 100,000 players in the open beta wouldn't be a problem. If he operated well, 200,000 was also possible.
With 200,000 simultaneous players, Penguin no longer needed to raise funds, nor did they need to be controlled by capital.
In the future, they could do whatever they wanted to do.
This was their confidence.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Tonight, we're not going home until we're drunk!"
This kind of record even made the usually calm Ma Huateng somewhat excited.
That night, Penguin's employees opened champagne to celebrate.
However, after breaking 70,000 simultaneous players in the closed beta, Ma Huateng devoted even more time to Victorious Return's operations.
It had to be known that operating a game wasn't something that could be ignored just by putting the client on the server.
With so many players, so many IP streams, and so many data requests every day, problems could occur at any time.
Similarly, no game could avoid bugs. During the closed beta, they also had to focus on solving bugs.
Of course, the most important thing was how to keep players in the game during the closed beta.
This was a test of the strength of each gaming company.
On the other hand, Ma Huateng and the others invested their time and energy into the game.

Every link, every place, could take 24 hours to complete.
It was also at this time that Huanyu Technologies' YY client underwent a brand new revision.
First was the interface.
Huanyu Technologies was extremely outstanding in the design of human-computer interaction interfaces. This time, the YY interface took this design to a new level. The new YY version optimized the YY chat rooms that previously occupied the majority of the interface. The chat rooms and YY games were treated as the same level of service, and only served as a function of the YY client.
Taking up most of the YY interface was a list of friends, which provided groups of friends and custom avatars.
Of course, this wasn't the main point.
The main point was that YY updated a function called YY Groups.
This function could be created by any user, and each person could create a normal group.
Each normal group had 100 members.
As for the content of the group, it was up to the user.
"Zhi Dong, YY launched a YY Group function. Come take a look."
"Pony, I used it. It's pretty similar to the YY chat rooms."
"Really? Why do I feel like it's a bit different from the YY chat rooms?"
"Different? I feel like it's pretty much the same. You see, quite a few people have created gaming groups, chat groups, pick up girls … all for fun. Although the model is different, the essence is still the same. We're in the IM business, are we going to be in the entertainment business too? "
"I really feel like there's a problem."
Ma Huateng stared at the YY group. He wanted to see the most important function of the YY group.
He felt that the YY group was different from the YY chat rooms, but he couldn't pinpoint the specific difference.
"Alright, alright, Pony, let's look into this later. There's a bug in the game, let's see how we can solve it. Also, damn, it's only been a few days and there's already a cheat. Fuck, these bastards. "
Ceng Liqing came over and anxiously said.
"Don't curse. Although Victorious Return has only been in beta for a few days, it's been open for a long time in Korea. It's only a matter of time before a cheat appears."
"Alright, I won't curse then. But here's the problem. Should we ban these cheat-using accounts or not?"
"We'll have to carefully consider this."
With this consideration, Ma Huateng had long since forgotten about the YY group.
