Chapter 479: The Confession
Twenty-one thousand people?
Wang Liu raised his eyebrows and laughed a little. He thought that Sina Le Valley's performance might not be good, but he didn't expect that it would be so bad.
The public beta was two months, and the number of online users was only about 20,000 at the same time. It should be only a few hundred thousand if registered users die?
Compare "Legend 3", which was nearly a month later than "Paradise", with more than 20 million registered users and an average of more than one million online users at the same time. The data of "Paradise" is no different from the flop.
No wonder Sina openly poached his secrets. It has no bottom line. Its relationship is because its performance is too poor and it is anxious.
But it shouldn't be. Although "Paradise" is not as good as the world's number one online game mentioned by the forum is as exaggerated as the world's number one online game, it is still a high-quality online game at least.
Sina is also the largest portal in China. It has a large amount of traffic and the two sides have a strong alliance. It requires quality and traffic. Even if it is played by Tiansheng free game, it will not lose so badly, right?
"Are you sure you're not wrong in your investigation? Heaven is really that kind of person?"
Li Xiangtao smiled and said, "At first, I thought I was wrong in the investigation, but I found other channels to confirm repeatedly, and I specially tried it on "Paradise" and it was made well, but it was too difficult. From the beginning to the real-time experience, it takes a long time to experience the essence of the game.
The threshold is too high, and it is difficult for someone to persist for so long.
So, it shouldn't be wrong. It's probably only this kind of person in Heaven."
No wonder Sina wants to dig out the city lord in "Legend", and gives so many benefits, and gives away high-end accounts for free, and start at level 35. It turns out that "Paradise" is too difficult. This is to transition away from the early stage and directly open the subsequent highlights to mobilize players' interest.
And those who can directly filter out the early stage and start playing from the back after getting started, are the only high-end players who can become the "City Lord".
Wang Liu suddenly understood the purpose of Sina's tricks. I have to say that he had a good idea to prescribe the right medicine.
But it has to be admitted that human energy is always limited. When most of the players have been absorbed by Tiansheng and time is occupied by various games under Tiansheng, it is probably a bit difficult to realize these ideas.
If Sina wants to dig out his corner, it will probably be ineffective.
Wang Liu breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Has the statement been issued? What is the reaction of Sina Le Valley?"
Li Xiangtao said: "I sent it, as you said, it severely denounced Sina Le Valley for its lack of business ethics. They also responded immediately, not only not admitting it, but also biting it back, saying that the online game market is maturing and everyone has the right to enter this market.
They did this not to be unfair competition, but to set a precedent in the history of world online games.
Other games are from low to high, allowing players to accumulate a lot of time and gradually upgrade before they can understand the essence of the game.
And they directly transitioned to this stage, allowing players to experience the essence of "Paradise" as soon as they got started, giving users more diverse choices.
Really, I have been in the industry for so many years and have never seen such a shameless person who openly digs our corners and uses such despicable means to find reasons for myself so well."
What about that? Do they even directly admit that they have no business ethics?
Wang Liu was not too surprised, and it was normal to make things difficult for him.
But such high-sounding words sound a bit disgusting.
Li Xiangtao said depressedly: "Mr. Wang, what should we do next? Should we issue another statement to refute them? Or should we think of some way to attack Sina Le Valley?"
Is it useful?
At most, the statement is to fight a war of words again, and it is just a waste of words.
As for finding ways to crack down on Sina Le Valley...
Wang Liu originally thought so, but after hearing about their situation just now, he changed his mind.
Tiansheng is so big that he can be regarded as a benchmark in performance. He will compete with a new company like Sina Le Valley, which has just been established and has lost its performance. It will not be glorious if he wins. If he loses... no, you don’t have to lose. As long as there is no effect, it will be embarrassing enough.
Let Tiansheng go to the game against Sina Le Valley, which is too much of a loss.
To crack down, you should also find its parent company Sina.
Wang Liu's heart moved and asked, "Do you know the situation of Sina? What is the current market value?"
"Sina? When I investigated Sina Le Valley yesterday, I also learned that Sina's current market value is almost 1.1 billion US dollars.
You asked this... Could it be that you want to acquire Sina?" Li Xiangtao guessed.
Is it $1.1 billion?
In terms of conversion, it is close to 9 billion yuan, and it doesn’t cost much to acquire it in full.
If it is just a holding, the price will be even smaller.
Wang Liu's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "That's right, Sina Legu is just a branch. Instead of spending time targeting it, it's better to directly acquire its parent company, Sina, which comes from Sina."
Li Xiangtao opened his mouth, a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, this is a way:
"As the largest portal website in China, if Sina can acquire it, it will not only reduce a competitor in the game business, but also strengthen our advantages in the portal market and consolidate Tiansheng's position in the Internet field. I think it can try it."
Wang Liu said decisively: "Then try it. You can investigate Sina's equity structure and study how to acquire it, which is most beneficial to us."
"Okay, I'll go now." Li Xiangtao responded and hung up the phone.
...
NetEase, Huayi and other opponents made moves one after another, which was considered effective. Tiansheng's user growth rate gradually slowed down.
At the same time, it is precisely because of their actions that the outside world has seen some tricks. So many competitors have taken measures to either extend the public beta time or Xue Tiansheng has opened a value-added business, which shows that Tiansheng's free strategy has made them feel pressure.
Perhaps, the free effect is not as bad as they imagined?
Just this little sign is enough to make people think a lot. Tiansheng's stock price, which had fallen for nearly a month, finally stabilized under the influence of this little sign and began to hover around 33 yuan.
At the same time, the epidemic is getting worse and worse. The city is still not spared. The first case broke out and spread it to two relatives, and a large number of people were quarantined.
The cumulative number of cases has changed from 0 to 3 in a blink of an eye. At the same time, it is not ruled out that there will be a possibility of continued increase. The atmosphere in the entire city suddenly became solemn at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The city has successively introduced a number of more severe prevention and control measures, and Wen Changhe personally led the team to conduct inspections and supervision throughout the city to ensure that they are implemented.
