The craze of "stealing food" caught people off guard.
As if overnight, netizens across the country have fallen into the craze of stealing vegetables. Countless office workers are constantly counting the time after work, calculating the time when the farm vegetables will mature.
In order to speed up the maturity of vegetables, players began to purchase chemical fertilizers to speed up growth and avoid vegetables being stolen.
Or buy a pastoral dog to guard the home and yard.
But dogs need to eat dog food, otherwise they will lie down in the den and not work. If someone comes to steal food, they will not bite people, and they will even tear down the kennel.
Now I need to buy dog food.
One after another, it brought a lot of profits to Friends.com.
…
Jiangnan City, Friends Network.
Zheng Ge was sitting with Xi Meng, discussing the next plan for Friends Network.
"Friends.com is gradually getting on the right track and can change its office location."
Zheng Ge looked at the surrounding environment and said.
The decoration here is very stylish, but a little bit out of place.
During the startup period, it was okay.
But it has already developed and the company has reached a large scale. It is not suitable to continue to work here.
"I have already asked people to look for office buildings and plan to rent an office building on the first floor of Hubin Building. The first floor has about 2,000 square meters, which is enough for now."
Simon said.
Zheng Ge nodded and continued: "After the company moved, we set up a research and development department and started to develop the Friends Network app. Times have changed, and smartphone systems have gradually improved. The future will be mobile phones, and we cannot fall behind. Regarding the idea of the app,
I will hand it over to you when the time comes."
Zheng Ge thought about it in his mind and prepared to send a friend's online version of WeChat.
P-side instant messaging cannot compete with TT and Penguin. But on the mobile side, the two giants have not yet paid attention to it, and there are still opportunities.
"clear."
Xi Meng nodded, she was obeying Zheng Ge's instructions.
"In addition, 50 million event funds will be received soon. By that time, the national school beauty selection event can be launched. Once this event is successfully held, the momentum of our friend network will skyrocket."
Zheng Ge said.
He has already contacted the bank and provided 30% of Feiyu shares and a mortgage loan of 50 million.
Feiyu Game's monthly revenue is close to 300 million, and it is expected to exceed the 300 million mark this month. Feiyu Game Company has become very popular for a while, and banks will naturally not reject Feiyu's shares.
The loan application went very smoothly.
Ximeng looked expectant.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
There was a knock on the office door, and a girl in professional attire walked in and said: "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Xi, Penguin Group, Penguin Space Division, just called and said they have cooperation with you."
"Penguin Group?"
Xi Meng was stunned.
Zheng Ge smiled and said, "I guess I came here for Happy Farm, so we can talk."
"Could it be that Penguin Group wants to acquire Happy Farm?"
Ximeng asked the girl to go out and frowned.
"Maybe, but they should understand that we will not sell Happy Farm. So, their main purpose of coming here this time may be to obtain authorization."
Zheng Ge laughed.
"What if Penguin wants to authorize it?"
Simon asked.
"What do you think?"
Zheng Ge asked instead without answering.
Simon thought for a while and said: "Happy Farm is very popular, but it cannot last long. The current popularity is just people's freshness and novelty towards rural life."
"Once the novelty wears off, so does the excitement. Next we happen to be launching a large-scale event involving universities across the country, which requires huge funds and resources."
"So, I think we can authorize Happy Farm to Penguin Group, so as to use Penguin Group's funds and channels to launch the 'School Beauty Selection Activity'."
She feels that the school beauty selection is the next focus.
Because she is also a college student and knows how attractive the term campus beauty is to students.
Both boys and girls will be attracted.
Girls aspire to be school belles.
Boys long to have a school beauty.
Nowadays, in major universities, there is no concept of campus beauty.
Coupled with the huge bonus set by the friend network, it can attract countless girls to actively participate.
Once fried, it will definitely become an instant hit.
Zheng Ge nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you can discuss the details. Just authorize it. Happy Farm's popularity period is still very long. At least for half a year, the freshness will still exist."
"good."
Simon nodded and began to think about how to get more benefits from the penguin.
…
The Penguin Group came very quickly, and the person who came was quite a heavyweight, the manager of the Penguin Space Division, Jiao Wenbo.
In the Friends Network conference room, both parties sat down, and Jiao Wenbo said: "Mr. Xi should know our purpose of coming. I wonder what Mr. Xi thinks?"
"We will not sell Happy Farm."
Simon said.
Jiao Wenbo nodded, not surprised.
"What about authorization?"
Jiao Wenbo continued.
"10 million licensing fee. In addition, our friend network needs to sign some cooperation contracts with Penguin Group."
Simon said.
Jiao Wenbo frowned.
10 million licensing fee? Still want to cooperate?
It is said to be cooperation, but to put it bluntly, it is of no benefit to Penguin. Because the current Friends Network is still very weak.
"No, it's too high."
Jiao Wenbo said.
Simon smiled, "It seems high, but it will be very helpful for the Penguin Group's next strategy, isn't it?"
Jiao Wenbo waved his hand, "We won't talk about strategy today, let's talk about Happy Farm. Penguin Group cannot agree to the 10 million licensing fee, and the maximum is 2 million. If Friends.com agrees to package and sell Happy Farm, we can pay a price of 10 million.
.”
Ximeng shook his head and started a competitive negotiation with the other party.
A small authorization did not last long.
As for the price, it was quickly agreed upon.
But regarding some cooperation with Penguin, Jiao Wenbo was very aggressive and unwilling to give too many resources.
For Penguin Space, Friends Network is also a threat.
To some extent, it is more threatening than TT space.
There is no way, who can make the content of Friends.com good?
What the Internet sells is content!
After two days of negotiations, Simon finally reached an agreement with Penguin Group. Friends.com licensed Happy Farm to Penguin Space for 5 million.
Several cooperation contracts were also signed.
These cooperation contracts are all prepared for the school beauty selection activities.
…
After obtaining the authorization of "Happy Farm", Penguin Group changed the name of "Happy Farm" to "Penguin Farm" and started a crazy promotion...
After Penguin Farm went online, Penguin Group, which has 200 million users, suddenly exploded with great power, and even Penguin's stock price rose slightly.
This caused quite a stir in the industry.
After receiving the authorization from Happy Farm, the traffic of Penguin Space has been increasing steadily.
This made major Internet companies take action, and they all went to Friends.com to purchase licenses.
Simon did not refuse them all. He selected a few companies and carried out authorized cooperation in exchange for some resources and funds.
During this period, TT Group also received calls and purchased authorizations.
But Simon refused without hesitation.
Although TT Group’s channels are also very powerful, TT copied Happy Farm first, and just for the sake of integrity, it could not authorize Happy Farm to TT.
