Chapter 141: Engage in Online Games

"I fork, what's the situation?"

"Why didn't you bind a keyword to me?"

"Is this going to hack my money?"

The next day, Chen Yu opened Baidu and searched, and found that the keywords he put in yesterday were not put into the search bar. Chen Yu was a little strange. He logged on to the backend of the enterprise version again and found that 1 million funds were still on it.

"strangeness?"

It stands to reason that since the money has been received, it should be put into promotion immediately.

But if you don't accept the money, it's only right to refund it.

However, when he thought that the PPC had just been launched, Chen Yu was somewhat clear.

"It may be that Baidu hasn't figured it out yet."

This business is really tricky for them.

Neither is it, nor is it not.

Fear of being scolded.

After all, although the Internet law is not perfect for the time being, it is not illegal, but it is morally wrong.

But if you don't pick it up, it's 1 million.

Moreover, this is not just 1 million. After 1 million is used up, you have to continue to recharge.

It's just like playing a game.

If you want to become stronger, you have to keep charging.

Furthermore, this should be the biggest business that Baidu has ever made since PPC, and they are unlikely to give up.

Now that PPC has been established, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later.

They should figure it out.

After thinking about it, Chen Yu did not apply for a refund.

Let Baidu think clearly.

Anyway, this is Baidu's own business, not me being scolded.

Just be patient.

"Sister Yang, come over here."

After closing the webpage, Chen Yu called Yang Lan over thinking that he had spent a lot of money in this period of time.

"Mr. Chen, are you looking for me?"

After a few minutes, Yang Lan, who was in charge of the company's finance and taxation, came to Chen Yu's office.

"Um."

Chen Yu nodded: "Recently, the company has a lot of business, and the expenditure is relatively large. You can calculate how long we can operate normally with our current expenditure."

"Mr. Chen, if it were just our 5173 network, we would have a profit of several million every month. However, since the launch of YY, our expenditure has been relatively large. In addition, we have recently recruited a lot of people, and the expenditure on personnel is also large. In addition, yesterday Manager Zhang quoted me two pieces of promotion expenses, the amount is still large after all, I expect that our cash flow will have problems within a year. "

"Oh, there's one more piece to be counted. I started another promotion business on Baidu."

"How much is this business?"

"About 1 million a month."

"so much?"

"Alas, these big guys are all vampires."

"If that's the case, then maybe within half a year our cash flow will be a problem."

"Half a year."

Chen Yu calculated in his mind.

Half a year is a short time, and it goes by in a flash.

If there is a problem with cash flow after half a year, it will be very passive for the company.

This passiveness will not make the company go bankrupt, and 5173 is profitable anyway.

But the key is that your YY may not be able to support it.

After all, YY didn't make much money in the beginning.

Not only YY, but even QQ is just now profitable, and the level of profitability is very limited.

The reason why they can still hold on is entirely because they took a financing from MIH last year.

"Mr. Chen, I think we should do the first round of financing."

Yang Lan suggested.

"Financing, has any capital contacted us?"

"There are a few, SoftBank and Sequoia Capital. In addition, Xinlang.com is also very interested in us. Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to tell you that taking this opportunity, I think we should be able to consider financing."

"Oh, did they make an offer?"

"It's just a new contact, and the specific price has to be negotiated. However, SoftBank is more optimistic about us. They said that if they are interested, they will provide no less than 50 million US dollars as a financing amount."

"$50 million, how many shares?"

"I'll get in touch with them again."

"No need to touch."

Chen Yu shook his head: "I'm not against financing, but financing is too expensive now."

The Internet is a bottomless pit.

This is also based on this, Internet companies will not do without financing.

Even the largest company, no matter how large, needs financing.

Chen Yu is not the kind of person who wants to control 100% of the shares, although he is also very controlling.

But he understands that financing is not only about absorbing capital, but also to settle some things that cannot be settled through capital.

After all, the power of a person is limited, and the addition of capital can not only allow the enterprise to develop rapidly, but also avoid a lot of trouble. However, if he wants to sacrifice most of his shares, Chen Yu cannot accept it.

Now Huanyu Technology is in the growth stage, and now Rongji, even if he takes out 10% of the shares, Chen Yu is heartbroken.

Moreover, this is only the early stage of the development of the Internet. Once everyone burns money, the shares will be diluted faster.

"Mr. Chen, Penguin raised a financing in the second half of last year. If we don't raise money, we shouldn't invest so much in the instant messaging business."

"Instant messaging business will not have the opportunity to enter if it does not enter now."

"For the sake of 5173 and YY, we should consider financing now. If we don't raise money, we may not be able to compete with Penguin."

Going around, financing is the best option.

But Chen Yu shook his head: "I know, but now we don't necessarily need financing. Isn't it half a year left, can't we just make enough money ourselves?"

"We make our own money?"

Yang Lan was a little confused.

Now the most profitable is 5173.com.

But no matter how 5173 makes money, it is still a middleman after all.

Does a middleman still have a game company to make money?

Just thinking of this, Yang Lan said, "Mr. Chen, do you mean that we are entering the game business?"

"That's right."

How could Chen Yu only be an intermediary website?

He has long wanted to get into this part of the game.

It's just that in order to stabilize the website and to launch YY first, the game business has been pushed back.

Now it seems that the game business is imperative.

Having said that, Chen Yu called Li Nan and Zhang Jianming to the office again.

"Mr. Chen, the recommendation code is out."

"Mr. Chen, Wang Chang has already contacted the major software founders, and we just need to sign a cooperation contract."

Thinking that Chen Yu was asking about the previous matter, Li Nan and Zhang Jianming reported to Chen Yu.

"Okay, you have done these two things as you did before. Now you are called to talk about another thing?"

"What's up?"

"Are you interested in playing games?"

When talking about the game, Zhang Jianming said excitedly.

"Damn it, it's not nonsense."

"Waiting for your words."

Zhang Jianming is a game enthusiast himself, and even now, he still plays Legends all the time.

Even if he didn't have time to play, he would ask Fatty Wang's studio to train him.

As soon as Chen Yu said that, he almost jumped up with excitement.

"Uh, Mr. Chen, don't look at me, I don't understand the game technology."

Li Nan was a little embarrassed to find Chen Yu looking at him, but still said: "However, I also support making games."
