Xiaoma moved quickly and discussed with Wang Liu. She communicated with Lianzhong that day, agreed on the time, and then went straight to Haikou to negotiate on Lianzhong's acquisition.

Lianzhong's headquarters is in Beijing, but in 1999, Lianzhong was acquired by Zhonggong.com, which is a subsidiary established by Haihong Holdings.

Therefore, if you want to acquire Lianzhong, you have to negotiate with Haihong Holdings, and Haihong's headquarters is in Haikou.

Wang Liu was in the capital, and this time it was not a big acquisition, so he did not participate and left the full power to Xiao Ma.

After all, it was to develop Tencent from a small company to a man who has half the Internet in China. It should be fine to do such a small matter.

Moreover, with his ability, he has always been a project manager of QQ business. He has to add burdens and exercise, so he can shine more for the company in the future.

The result was not disappointed by Wang Liu.

"Mr. Wang, I took it. I just finished talking with Haihong. The other party did not make any further requirements and agreed to sell Lianzhong for 150 million yuan. The contract has been officially signed. From now on, Lianzhong will be ours."

Xiao Ma happily called Wang Liu to report the good news.

Wang Liu smiled and said, "The efficiency is quite fast, I thought I had to talk about it for two more rounds."

Xiaoma smiled and said, "The main reason is that the price has been given, so Haihong has a strong desire to sell it. Nowadays, casual game platforms are operated for free, and there is no charge for playing games. They are still in the stage of burning money, so the same is true for Lianzhong.

In the past two years since Haihong bought Lianzhong, she has not found a profit point. She has to pay a sum of money every year, and her interest in continuing to hold has dropped a lot.

I invested 10 million to buy it, but now I have the opportunity to withdraw 150 million. It has increased fifteen times in more than two years, and they are also content.

Moreover, I was afraid that they would take the opportunity to propose other conditions when they saw that we agreed too well, so they did not come up and agreed to the 150 million offer they had made. Instead, they first quarreled with them and bargained for a long time before finally pretending to grit their teeth and agreed."

Tsk tsk tsk... It's worthy of being you, a little pony, so thief... Wang Liu smacked his lips, complained in his heart, and smiled on his face: "I did a good job. I have worked hard this trip, but I have to work harder next time. After joining the crowd, I have to integrate it as soon as possible and incorporate it into QQ."

"I understand." Xiaoma responded.

...

Capital.

Yahoo China headquarters.

In the general manager's office, Zhou Hongyi was looking through the documents. Vice President Qi Xiangdong suddenly rushed in: "Old Zhou, Tiansheng has indeed made new moves. He just issued an announcement and announced that he had spent 150 million yuan to acquire Lianzhong Games."

This is Zhou Hongyi's old colleague at the time of 3721. He served as chairman and president. Qi Xiangdong was his deputy and general manager. Before Yahoo acquired 3721, he chose to join Yahoo. The people from the original 3721 team also joined Yahoo with him. Qi Xiangdong was also one of them, and he was also a deputy and served as deputy general manager.

The two have a good relationship and the title is a bit casual.

He heard from Wang Liu that Tiansheng was going to take new actions, but he couldn't figure it out, so he told Qi Xiangdong that the two of them had discussed together, and he knew about it.

Zhou Hongyi frowned when he heard this: "Acquiring Lianzhong? Is this the new move Wang Liu said last time?

Tiansheng is indeed making games, and Lianzhong is also a game company, and it is also a casual game. It is slightly different from the type of online games that Tiansheng originally made. Now it is acquired, it is the same as what Wang Liu said at that time to develop the business. This is probably the new move he mentioned last time."

Zhou Hongyi said, looking at Qi Xiangdong and wondered: "But why are you so anxious? We don't make games, so he will let him acquire it, which will not have any impact on us."

“The impact is huge.”

Qi Xiangdong smiled bitterly and said, "After they acquired Lianzhong, they were not going to merge into the game business, but to integrate into QQ."

"What?"

Zhou Hongyi's eyelids twitched in an instant. The game company did not integrate into the game business, but integrated into QQ. What did he want to do?

Can you use games to increase user stickiness and consolidate users so as not to let people flow into their Yahoo Pass?

In an instant, Zhou Hongyi figured out these things and his expression quickly became solemn: "Have they completed the integration?"

Qi Xiangdong nodded: "I just took a look and it has been integrated. Lianzhong has changed its name to QQ game and incorporated it into QQ, and it has been officially launched."

As soon as the acquisition was announced, the integration was completed. This was because he was deliberately suppressing the news and was just trying to catch him off guard.

Zhou Hongyi was depressed, and indeed Wang Liu was still blew up. At the same time, he had a headache. The instant messaging market had been seized by Tiansheng. They launched Yahoo. If they wanted to do it, they could only compete with QQ. Now Tiansheng has integrated Lianzhong into QQ. If it is allowed to consolidate users, then it would be difficult for him to compete with QQ again.

"How many users do Yahootong have now?" Zhou Hongyi looked at Qi Xiangdong and suddenly asked.

"Two million."

Two million...

The number alone is not small, but compared with the 300 million registered users announced by QQ before, it is not enough to read.

We must take advantage of the fact that Lianzhong has just integrated into QQ and the effect has not yet been achieved, and think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer the time will be delayed, the more unfavorable the situation will be for the company... Zhou Hongyi frowned and thought bitterly, but suddenly felt a move in his heart and came up with a plan:

"It seems that there is not only Lianzhong, a casual gaming platform in China? I remember that there is a company that is as famous as it, called... 'Bei Lianzhong, Nanzhongyou'?

Although the market share is not as good as Lianzhong, since Lianzhong is as famous as it is, Zhongyou must have a certain user base.

Tiansheng can acquire Lianzhong, and we can also acquire Zhongyou. It can not only solve the problem in front of us, but also absorb some traffic and accelerate the growth of Yahootong."

Qi Xiangdong's eyes lit up, and then suddenly felt bitter: "That's the case, but if you want to acquire it, you have to spend money. Can the headquarters agree?"

Zhou Hongyi's face suddenly froze. When he thought of the headquarters, he felt a headache again.

When he sold the company to Yahoo, he also chose to join. He originally took a fancy to Yahoo's strength and wanted to rely on the big tree to enjoy the cool air. With the help of Yahoo's funds and technology, he made a big fist.

However, when he joined him, he realized that this was a pitfall.

Yahoo is powerful, but also arrogant. As a giant in the international Internet industry, China, which has just begun to start the Internet, came with condescending arrogance.

Although it promotes localization as soon as it enters the country and recruits local employees to operate it, it is actually no different from other international giants entering the country. They are all distrustful and do not delegate power.

What?

Delegate power to domestic teams and let them operate independently?

What a joke, the domestic Internet industry is just starting out. What experience do you have to operate independently? I have turned the company into an international giant, and I don’t have more experience than you? Let’s follow my model.
