The rebirth of the Hong Kong Island chaebol, starting with a short-selling Eagle Sauce

Bailong Group participated in Shanda's final round of financing at the end of 2003.

In fact, Shanda Network was not short of money at this time. With Legend as a cash cow, Chen Qiao could make money while lying down.

But Chen Qiao is a man with lofty ideals. He has always wanted to build an online Disney. Such a dream requires a lot of funds to maintain.

Wang Lei gave Mr. Chen Qiao an irresistible reason: help him get listed on Nasdaq!

If the listing is successful, Shanda Games will become Longguo's first game manufacturer to be listed in the United States.

Chen Qiao had no reason to refuse and accepted the huge capital injection from the Bailong Consortium.

After receiving the financing, Chen Qiao immediately set his sights on the Internet's number one original website, Dingmin Literature Network, and later included many celebrity literature websites at the time.

Capitalize the operation of online novel websites.

After completing the construction of the online literature section, he turned his attention to traditional TV sets.

At this time, he found that the financing money had already been spent, so he approached Wang Lei to discuss Shanda's listing.

"So, you went public to raise funds to make this box?"

"Mr. Wang, it's not a box, it's a Shanda Net box!"

Seeing Chen Qiao's expression of "You don't understand my thoughts," Wang Lei was speechless. Shanda Box was more than ten years earlier than Xiaomi Box and Tmall Magic Box.

But to be honest, Ahri’s Tmall Magic Box project ended in failure. Wang Lei is not optimistic about Chen Qiao’s ultra-era project.

This is also true, after spending billions on the box project, only 20 units were sold in the end!

However, Wang Lei would not say these words to Chen Qiao, but only agreed:

"I support Shanda's listing in the United States. Please submit your application for listing review."

With Wang Lei's words, the Bailong Consortium's department specializing in IPO operations settled in Shanda and began to help Shanda launch an IPO.

After hearing the news, Brother Xiao Ma also found Wang Lei.

"Mr. Wang, you can't ignore one thing and lose the other. We are serious in the gaming field, and we have also completed the bet."

Brother Xiao Ma is really anxious. Penguin has recently become an agent for several games from Han Kingdom and they can be launched at any time.

After several advertisements to divert traffic to the game platform, the number of people online will soon exceed [-] million.

But at this time, I heard the news that Shanda was about to be listed in the United States.

Xiao Ma, who had been pursuing Shanda as his goal, suddenly couldn't sit still.

At this time, both parties were the pioneers of Longguo Internet companies. Penguin, which had a large number of users, extended its tentacles to various fields.

As the most profitable Internet company, Shanda has faintly overshadowed the three major portals and is the real big brother of Longguo Internet.

Xiao Ma is anxious because his gaming industry has just started. If Shanda goes public first, Shanda, which has a lot of capital, will expand rapidly again, which will put Penguin's layout at a disadvantage.

Wang Lei certainly felt the eagerness of Brother Ma. In the original history, Shanda Games suppressed Penguin until 2008.

Mr. Chen Qiao, who had no ambitions, finally gave up his position as the game overlord, and Penguin officially became the new generation of game overlord in the Dragon Kingdom.

Wang Lei is naturally not in a hurry. They are all working for him anyway, and Penguin will become the most profitable company sooner or later.

Still he said:

"You make a game where penguin friends can steal vegetables from each other, water each other, and get rid of bugs in the space."

"As long as we make this game well, Penguin can be listed in Hong Kong City?"

"Yes, I guarantee this game will shock your jaw. If the daily activity and usage time of Penguin Space reach a higher level, I guarantee that Penguin's stock price will not be much lower than Shanda."

At this time, Penguin relied on the Game Center to break the game, and indeed achieved some success, but the agent's "Triumph" was difficult to describe, and it required very high computer and network configurations. Legendary players were already fighting in the sand city, and Triumph players were still on the way to loading.

Fortunately, board and card games have left Penguin with a large number of online users.

But going public in this way is not enough. Historically, Penguin, which was listed in the same year as Shanda, had an issue price of only 2 yuan and a market value of several billion Hong Kong dollars.

It seems that the market value is not low, but it is far from Shanda's stock price of US$17.

Penguin is the biological son of the White Dragon Consortium anyway, so Wang Lei thought of the once popular food-stealing game.

Renren was once popular because of this game, and its social influence even surpassed that of Penguin.

Many people stay up late counting the time to collect and steal vegetables.

It can be regarded as an original social game.

When Xiao Ma heard the gameplay concept, he didn't take it seriously.

He just regarded this matter as a task assigned by the big boss.

The game planner he hired from Shanda discovered the secret of the gameplay. The design concept of this game is very magical!

The games he participated in designing in the past can be regarded as a strong interactive platform.

Everyone must be online at the same time and must be online at the same time to participate in activities, such as fighting world BOSS together and participating in siege battles.

What matters is unity and cooperation. If we are brothers, come together to kill me.

But the food-stealing game is a very novel attempt at weak interaction. You don’t have to be online at the same time. If you steal one of my vegetables, I will secretly go online another day to steal ten of yours. By doing this over and over again, you can gain great benefits from the friend rankings. A sense of accomplishment.

The concept of the game seems simple, but it is a powerful tool for igniting topics on social platforms.

This game planner has been thinking about how to use an interactive game to take the daily life of Penguin Space to a higher level.

For a moment, I was shocked by the game plan that my boss sent to me.

He immediately set up a project team and worked on the game overnight.

With enthusiasm and love for their work, they completed the preliminary testing of the game in just half a month.

During this period, the game content was continuously enriched and some krypton gold elements were added.

Until one day, he found Brother Ma with dark circles under his eyes.

"Boss, the game you want me to customize is ready. Open this web link and you can participate in the experience."

"So fast?"

Brother Xiao Ma couldn't believe it. This was the listing task that Wang Lei told him to complete. This game planner who he had paid a lot of money to poach was not perfunctory with him.

But when he saw that the other party had dark circles under his eyes and looked like he was about to hang up, he wisely shut his mouth to accuse him.

The other party must be developing the game day and night. Thinking of this, he was deeply moved and said:

"Okay, very good. You go back and have a good rest first. I will grant you two days of paid leave!"

After hearing this, the game planner wanted to remind his boss, but then he was replaced by a bad taste, and he left the company with a smile that Brother Ma couldn't understand.

"This game is very simple. The farming element is quite new, but it's not like Mr. Wang attaches such importance to it."

After watering and fertilizing the flowers, Brother Ma put the game aside.

When he finished his work and went online again, he found that half of the vegetable plots he had managed to cultivate had been cleared away.

After checking the food stealing records, I found that the person who stole the most food was the game planner who was approved by him for the holidays!
