"Whether you agree or not, you have to do this. Don't worry, I'll communicate with the headquarters."

Zhou Hongyi looked depressed, and after saying that, he took out his cell phone and started calling.

"Old Zhou, what's wrong?" A voice came from the other side of the phone.

Zhou Hongyi said: "Mr. Guan, I have something to report to you. Tiansheng just announced that he had acquired Lianzhong Games and integrated it into QQ. Eighty percent of it was to use games to consolidate users and prevent users from flowing to us.

If they succeed, it will be difficult for our Yahootong to grow up and we must respond as soon as possible.

I just thought about it carefully. The easiest way to deal with it now is to acquire a game platform and integrate it into Yahootong.

I have figured out the goal..."

"Lao Zhou."

Before Zhou Hongyi finished speaking, Guan Chongyuan interrupted: "Last year, he acquired Sanqi 21, and this year he launched Mailbox and Yahootong. The headquarters has invested a lot of money in the company. Now, it will cost money to acquire the company?

The headquarters is also limited, so how can we do this?"

This is the former general manager of Yahoo China. After Zhou Hongyi joined Yahoo, he was promoted to Yahoo North Asia and became general manager. He is Zhou Hongyi's immediate boss.

"But if we don't acquire and wait until QQ consolidates users, it will be difficult for us to compete with them."

Zhou Hongyi said anxiously: "Mr. Guan, I know that the headquarters is also difficult, but since I have entered the country and have invested so much, I can't give up halfway, right?

This acquisition does not require a lot of money, and it is not a waste of money. If it can be acquired, it will not only solve the current troubles, but also attract a lot of traffic to Yahootong, killing two birds with one stone."

Guan Chongyuan was silent for two seconds and said lightly: "I understand. I will pass on your ideas to the headquarters. As for whether the headquarters agrees or not, it is not something I can decide. Please wait for my news."

Zhou Hongyi had another headache in an instant. This was the second thing that made him depressed at Yahoo. As the general manager, he not only had no decision-making power, but also had to report everything layer by layer.

What decision he wants to make must be reported to Guan Chongyuan first, and then Guan Chongyuan will be transferred to the headquarters. The headquarters will make the decision and then issue it to Guan Chongyuan, and finally Guan Chongyuan will be conveyed to him.

After a while, the daylily became cold and the efficiency was too rubbish.

But when Yahoo acquired 3721, the acquisition fee of $120 million was not given to him at once, only half of it, and the remaining half was signed. He had to get it after Yahoo made corresponding results.

Restrained by the contract, unless the remaining half is not wanted, he will have to endure it even if he is dissatisfied. He has really dug a big hole for himself.

Zhou Hongyi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, when the headquarters has a decision, please feel free to tell me."

"Don't worry, I will." Guan Chongyuan replied plainly.

Zhou Hongyi hung up the phone helplessly.

Qi Xiangdong next to him smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Guan still has to ask the headquarters for instructions, right? I knew it would be like this. Regardless of whether the headquarters agrees or not, I will go out for at least three or four days. When the results are conveyed, the daylily will be cold."

Zhou Hongyi's face was slightly dark. He had been at Yahoo for more than half a year. He had already deeply understood this system. He had expected this result before calling. He was helpless, but he had to do this.

But you can't just wait like this, otherwise the headquarters agreed to the acquisition, and having these three or four days of time is enough for QQ to take the opportunity to play, so you have to save some time as much as possible.

"Old Qi, you can contact Zhongyou Company first, try to negotiate the acquisition first, and wait until the headquarters results are conveyed, if you agree, we will immediately finalize the acquisition." Zhou Hongyi said in a deep voice.

"But...what if the headquarters disagrees?" Qi Xiangdong asked with a wry smile.

Zhou Hongyi's mouth twitched in an instant, and a feeling of depression surged in his heart. If he disagreed, then their efforts would be in vain.

But even if it is in vain, they have to do so.

"I can't care about that much. If you want to save time, you can only do this. The rest... will leave it to fate."

Qi Xiangdong nodded and sighed, "That's all."

...

"Mr. Wang, Lianzhong has changed its name to QQ games, integrated into QQ, and officially launched it. The situation is not bad. In the past few days, more than 30 million users have visited it, and many have remained. Originally, Lianzhong had only 1.2 million active users, but now it has grown to more than 2.5 million.

At the same time, Lianzhong has also attracted some traffic to QQ, and the average daily number of QQ registrations has increased slightly recently."

Xiaoma called and reported to Wang Liu about the recent situation in QQ.

As expected, Wang Liu was not too surprised, but just smiled faintly and said, "It's not bad, what's the reaction on Yahoo? Have you noticed?"

Xiao Ma said: "I have noticed that there is no actual reaction yet, but I heard the news that it seems that Yahoo has sent people to get in touch with the middle school."

"Middle Game?" Wang Liu asked in confusion: "Is it a game company too?"

"Yes, and like Lianzhong, they are also a casual game, and the scale is pretty good. There is also a saying in China that "North Lianzhong, South Central Tour" is.

However, it is a bit far-fetched. The midstream accounts for about 20% of the domestic casual game market, and there is still a gap compared with Lianzhong." Xiaoma explained.

Wang Liu suddenly realized that the casual game company was the same as he thought before, and Yahoo really wanted to break the deadlock through acquisitions.

However, only 20% of the market share is that it will acquire the midstream, which will not have much impact on it.

“How is the space development going?”

"We are already stepping up development, but it's not long since the beginning. We have to build a brand new architecture. If we want to develop it, we probably have to wait a little longer." Xiao Ma replied.

"You can't wait too long. You can hurry up and get it in one step without getting up. You can't make a space into a platform product. You can make a basic version first so that users can experience it. Then slowly improve it. The most important thing at the moment is to strive to develop it as soon as possible." Wang Liu reminded.

Yahoo has already contacted Zhongyou and it will probably not take long to acquire it. He also has to develop the QQ space quickly and give Yahoo a surprise.

And he will do a basic class first. Even after the space is released, Yahoo will follow it and he will leave room for upgrade.

Xiaoma smiled and said, "That's simple. If you don't make a platform, you can only make a basic version. At most, I will make it for you for one week."

...

Yahoo China headquarters.

"Old Zhou, I have basically agreed to Zhongyou. They are willing to sell the company to us and offer it for 40 million."

In the office, Qi Xiangdong and Zhongyou came to report to Zhou Hongyi.

Zhou Hongyi nodded, his expression was not happy, but was still a little solemn. He has also learned about the casual game market these days and is still in the stage of burning money. Some people are willing to pay for it, which is simply unsuccessful.
