Mrs. Cheng, lucky to know." Lin Weidong also smiled and signaled to her.

Luo Qianqian sighed: "Mr. Lin is really young and promising."

Lin Weidong smiled and denied: "Mrs. Cheng is too rewarded. If you want to be young and promising, who can compare with Mr. Cheng?"

Cheng Tianqiao couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin, I won't say anything politely. Let's talk about the important things."

Luo Qianqian looked at Cheng Tianqiao, then turned around and looked at Lin Weidong, and said tactfully: "Mr. Lin, you guys talk, I'll lose my companion first."

Lin Weidong smiled and nodded: "Mrs. Cheng walked slowly."

After Luo Qianqian left Cheng Tianqiao's office, Cheng Tianqiao asked Lin Weidong about the development of Century Chinese Network.

In fact, Lin Weidong was also very curious about why Cheng Tianqiao's game was done well and he suddenly turned his target to online literature.

All of this starts in 2001. Thinking about Cheng Tianqiao, who failed to start a business, made a desperate bet and bought out the Chinese agent of the Korean online game "Legend" with his last net worth of 300,000 US dollars. This is a life-and-death decision.

This gambling decision quickly brought Cheng Tianqiao back to life: "Legend" quickly became popular in China after internal testing, becoming the most popular online game at that time, and no one! Until 2002, "Legend" was still the overlord of China's online game.

However, because "Legend" is popular all over the country, many young people are addicted to it, which also caused many problems: one legendary player died when he played the game, and another player ran to Shanda Company to set himself on fire due to equipment problems.

For a moment, public opinion overwhelmed Cheng Tianqiao, saying that he was an "electronic opium seller". The party newspaper also opened a column to criticize Cheng Tianqiao, although his company was founded in accordance with the Company Law and paid a lot of taxes every year.

Under heavy pressure, Cheng Tianqiao felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and began to deliberately slowly divest his game business, turning his focus to literature, video and other businesses that he was not familiar with.

The Century Chinese Network, controlled by Lin Weidong, became the first literary website that Cheng Tianqiao wanted to acquire.

Before leaving, Lin Weidong thought that Cheng Tianqiao just wanted to invest in Century Chinese. However, after chatting with Cheng Tianqiao for a while, he realized that Cheng Tianqiao did not want to invest in Century Chinese. He wanted to pay for Century Chinese.

Cheng Tianqiao said confidently: "Mr. Lin, I will give you $1.5 million to acquire your Century Chinese website. What do you think?"

Lin Weidong refused without thinking: "Sorry, Mr. Cheng, I have no intention of selling Century Chinese.com."

Cheng Tianqiao thought Lin Weidong thought the money was small, and then said, "I will pay 2 million US dollars! I believe that this price will not be possible for me, Cheng Tianqiao."

Lin Weidong asked back: "Mr. Cheng, I want to know, why did you Shanda suddenly decide to acquire our Century Chinese website?"

Cheng Tianqiao did not think that Lin Weidong could threaten him, nor did he play a puzzle with Lin Weidong. He told Lin Weidong his thoughts very frankly.

He hopes that Shanda will transform from an online game agent to a pan-entertainment content company, covering content production, distribution and operation, and making it a box strategy.

Under Cheng Tianqiao's strategy, literary works and other content are exported to computers, TVs, mobile phones and other hardware terminals in the form of movies, music, and games.

After hearing Cheng Tianqiao's words, Lin Weidong couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Cheng Tianqiao's ability to be today is definitely not just luck.

In Lin Weidong's view, Cheng Tianqiao's vision is simply an existence that transcends the times, and can be said to be quite advanced.

You should know that in China these days, almost no one has mentioned the concept of IP, but Cheng Tianqiao's plan is almost the same as IP, and he also proposed the term pan-entertainment.

In fact, what Lin Weidong didn’t know was that the concept of pan-entertainment had already taken root in Cheng Tianqiao’s heart as early as 1999.

In a very long time, Cheng Tianqiao and his younger brother Cheng Dainian founded Shanda Network. At the beginning, they wanted to build an online animation community "Paradise Returning to the Valley", which is exactly the "Internet Disney" that Cheng Tianqiao often mentioned.

Lin Weidong has to admit that the blueprint drawn by Cheng Tianqiao is indeed exciting.

However, Cheng Tianqiao could never have imagined that his ambition was Lin Weidong's dream.

The starting point of Cheng Tianqiao's entire plan is Shanda Literature, including Century Chinese. In order to maximize the dissemination of works and gain IP fans, Shanda needs Century Chinese. Only free reading can cultivate the market and establish users' stickiness to IP.

But what Cheng Tianqiao did not consider is that Century Chinese website can stand out among many literary websites, system.

Obviously, Lin Weidong and the founding team of Century Chinese Network are policy supporters.

After understanding Cheng Tianqiao's intentions, Lin Weidong also confessed his thoughts to Cheng Tianqiao: "Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry, our Century Chinese Network accepts investment from major shareholders, but does not accept any group acquisitions."

Cheng Tianqiao said bluntly: "Mr. Lin, I invite you to our company today. It is my sincerity and respect for you."

"But if you Century Chinese Network is obsessed with it and do not accept our Shanda acquisition, then your Century Chinese Network will definitely become our Shanda's number one enemy. Do you understand the interests of this?"

Lin Weidong of course understood what Cheng Tianqiao meant. He simply wanted to monopolize the entire literary website market.

If Lin Weidong's Century Chinese Network does not accept Shanda's acquisition, then the development of Century Chinese Network will inevitably be surrounded by other literary websites.

However, this was the first time Lin Weidong was threatened by others in such a big age, and he immediately became angry with fighting spirit.

Thinking of this, Lin Weidong nodded with a smile: "Of course I know what Mr. Cheng means, but it doesn't matter. Being Mr. Cheng's competitor is also an honor for me, Lin Weidong."

Since Lin Weidong has already said this, Cheng Tianqiao will not talk nonsense to him anymore, and the two of them have a bad time and parted.

After Lin Weidong left, Luo Qianqian returned to Cheng Tianqiao's office and asked him: "Tianqiao, how are the deals with the acquisition?"

Cheng Tianqiao said angrily: "This guy doesn't eat the hard and soft things, so the acquisition matter is probably hanging."

After thinking for a while, Luo Qianqian asked playfully, "Do you want my wife to take action and talk to him in person?"

Cheng Tianqiao asked curiously: "Qianqian, you rarely pay attention to it, why are you suddenly interested in negotiating with this kid?"

The reason why Cheng Tianqiao asked this is because he is usually busy with diplomacy and has to participate in various negotiations, while his wife Luo Qianqian is responsible for managing internal affairs of the company and rarely comes into contact with diplomacy issues.

Luo Qianqian said seriously: "As far as I know, Lin Weidong is young, but he is a rare talent. If he cannot take him for himself, it will probably be a great loss for us."

Cheng Tianqiao smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, this kid is too angry. He is just a general. He can charge forward, but his sense of overall situation and strategy are weaker."
