Chapter 447: Divestment (fifth update)

As soon as the "Double 11" was over, Taobao announced the transaction volume on the "Double 11" day at 0:00 on November 12th.

Taobao Homepage.

"In 2002, Suning Appliance's annual sales were more than 6 billion, and the total annual sales of eBay and Dangdang were 4.1 billion, adding up to more than 10 billion. However, on the day of 'Double 11', Taobao only used The daily sales of 12 billion yuan exceeded the combined annual sales of these two companies in 2002!

This is a miracle, a myth that cannot be copied!

Taobao has used its own strength to establish its leading position in China's e-commerce field! ! ! "

When this sales data came out, it shocked the entire e-commerce world.

In the hotel, Sun Zhengyi stared blankly at the computer screen, feeling bitter and powerless in his heart.

In the middle of the night, the chill came up.

Son Zhengyi picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed Li Guoqing's number.

"Mr. Li, I am so disappointed with the eBay Dangdang website! I have decided to withdraw my investment!"

When Li Guoqing heard this, he suddenly became excited and broke into a cold sweat.

"Mr. Sun, this is the most difficult moment for the eBay Dangdang website. You must not withdraw your investment!" Li Guoqing pleaded. Once SoftBank, represented by Masayoshi Son, withdraws its capital, eBay Dangdang will not be far from bankruptcy.

"Mr. Li, I have given you many opportunities, but what's the result?" Sun Zhengyi said very dissatisfied, "The result is that the website is not as good as the other day, and the users have gone to Taobao. Just now, Taobao announced its daily sales on the day of 'Double 11'. Haha, Mr. Li, you must have seen this news too! On this day alone, Taobao's sales reached 12 billion yuan, almost as much as eBay. 3 times the website’s annual sales.”

Sun Zhengyi paused and asked coldly: "Tell me, what else can you do to make me believe you!!!"

When Li Guoqing heard this, he was speechless for a moment.

"Dududu..."

At this time, Son had already hung up the phone.

Snapped! ! !

Li Guoqing's cell phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Li Guoqing himself fell down on the sofa, staring blankly at the white ceiling, muttering in his mouth and repeating one sentence: "The eBay Dangdang website is finished..."

…

At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, SoftBank held a press conference in front of the Holiday Inn. Masayoshi Son, shiny and dressed in a black suit, announced to the media reporters expressionlessly, "After careful consideration, SoftBank The company decided to withdraw its investment from the eBay Dangdang website and completely abandon the Chinese e-commerce market!"

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar!

"Oh, isn't SoftBank very powerful? When I came to China to invest in eBay Dangdang website, I vowed to make eBay Dangdang website develop into China's e-commerce giant. Are you just trying to be a coward?"

"It's no wonder SoftBank and Masayoshi Son have to be shy. Who makes Taobao so awesome? The daily sales of 'Double 11' are as high as 12 billion yuan, which is simply frightening!"

"This Japanese businessman is so callous and ruthless. The eBay Dangdang website has no use value and was abandoned immediately!"

"Oh, who says it's not the case..."

"Piots are ruthless, bitches are unjust! No matter how rich the Japanese are, they will never be sincerely nice to Chinese companies. Chinese companies should learn from this!"

"Although businessmen pursue profits, it is still sad to see the eBay Dangdang website being abandoned like this."

"yes."

Son Zhengyi stood on the stage. He was not tall, and his head was a bit bald, but he had good ears. When he heard the comments of the people below, his face couldn't help but change. He suppressed the anger in his heart and ignored the reporters at all. After asking their questions, he turned and walked into the hotel.

The eBay Dangdang website has already received a formal letter from SoftBank. The whole company is in a bleak situation, and everyone knows that SoftBank is going to withdraw its investment.

With SoftBank's divestment, other investment companies will naturally follow suit, and eBay Dangdang's bankruptcy is imminent.

When Li Zetian, who was far away in the United States, heard the news, he smiled and said to himself: "Although SoftBank has abandoned the eBay Dangdang website, based on my understanding of Masayoshi Son, the huge Chinese market is what he covets. Three feet, he will definitely not give up. Haha, why do the Japanese need to invest and develop the Chinese market? No matter what Masayoshi Son and his SoftBank company want to do, they are angry! Let Japanese companies make money, not as good as me Come and earn..."

Jingle bell, jingle bell!

At this time, the phone rang.

Li Zetian looked at it and saw a call from Blizzard CEO Mike Mohan.

Last year, South Korea's "Legend" swept across China's online games, leaving Flamingo Company in disgrace. Li Zetian thought about letting Blizzard develop "World of Warcraft".

"World of Warcraft" is the first online game produced by Blizzard Entertainment. It uses the plot of the company's real-time strategy game "Warcraft" as its historical background. Relying on the historical events and heroes of Warcraft, World of Warcraft has a complete history. In the background timeline, players take risks, complete tasks, new adventures, explore unknown worlds, conquer monsters, etc. in World of Warcraft.

In the previous life, World of Warcraft had more than 11.5 million paying users worldwide, and successfully entered the Guinness Book of World Records. The total number of accounts created worldwide has exceeded 100 million, the number of characters has reached 500 million, and people in 244 countries and regions are playing it. "World of Warcraft" even includes Antarctica, the Bahamas, Christmas Island, and the Tokelau Islands.

In terms of influence and ability to make money, "Legend" and "World of Warcraft" are not the same!

At this time, Mike Mohan suddenly called and thought that the world-class online game "World of Warcraft" had been developed.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Mike Mohan, CEO of Blizzard."

"Hello, Mike Mohan," Li Zetian smiled and asked, "Has World of Warcraft been developed successfully?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, it will be publicly tested in North America at the end of this month."

"Very good, I'm looking forward to this game! Oh, by the way, pay attention to the development of a Chinese version! And..."

Speaking of this, Li Zetian suddenly thought that in 2016, "World of Warcraft" was adapted into a movie and was released. However, the box office results were not ideal. Not to mention the shooting problems, the movie was postponed until 2016. The popularity of "World of Warcraft" It has already declined sharply. The game should be adapted into a movie when the game is most popular! "World of Warcraft" can definitely become a world-class super IP, but the result is unbearable!

Because of this, Li Zetian suddenly thought of "StarCraft" again. "StarCraft" was still super popular in 2003. If you want to launch a movie and create a super IP, you must do it as early as possible. In a few years, the popularity will disappear.

The "life" of a game is actually not long. Generally speaking, it is easier for movies to become super IPs. Most of the super IPs in previous lives have become popular all over the world because of movies.

"World of Warcraft" and "StarCraft" are both super classic games. First of all, they have the basic conditions to become super IPs. It is also worth mentioning that these two games have rich novel stories as backgrounds and IP development potential. huge!

PS: That’s awesome, it’s the fifth update today.
