Chapter 679 Changing the Court
Today is a rough era of the Internet. Various Internet companies are all entrenched in their own areas and have not yet extended their tentacles overseas.
Netscape, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, etc. in America are all still busy competing for the American market and have not paid much attention to overseas markets other than America.
However, when the American market is almost involuted, they will start to seize overseas markets.
At this time, a group of American Internet companies such as Netscape and Yahoo, with the support of Wall Street and America's global influence, will basically be unfavorable overseas!
Therefore, for Internet companies outside of America, the real opportunity to go overseas is only in one or two years. If this opportunity is missed, they will face the Internet giants in America and Wall Street institutions. If they want to win, they will not be able to win. It's not that simple anymore.
In fact, it may be like the previous life, domestic Internet companies, after being suppressed by overseas Internet companies for decades, slowly began to go overseas, and were targeted in various ways, banned and forcibly acquired...
If Tianya Sports can become a giant in the overseas Internet sports industry and have its own basic base, it will be much easier for Tianya Forum to go overseas.
With Tianya Forum and Himalaya Radio, they are inserted into the overseas Internet market, so Tanglin High-tech is equivalent to setting up a flag in the overseas Internet. It will be relatively easy to do things in the future!
The reason why Martins and Pita were selected to act as lobbyists for Tianya Sports Network in old Europe is that they hope to use their connections and influence to bring more old European players, teams, clubs, sports media, and even FIFA etc., all pulled into the Tianya Sports camp.
Once there is the support of these old European sports industries, Tianya Sports' position in the old European Internet sports industry will no longer be shaken by any company!
In the future, Tianya Sports in old Europe, whether it is engaged in Internet sports or using its own excuses to launch games such as FIFA, Live Football, and Football Manager, will cut a crop of leeks and be endorsed by so many stars, wealthy clubs, and football organizations. It can be operated by then.
Even in the future, we can’t say Tianya Sports. After the rise of the Internet broadcast era and the skyrocketing sports copyright era, we can hoard a few copyrights, resell them, and take the opportunity to make a fortune...
After hearing Li Dongling's words, Martins and Peeta showed quite moved expressions on their faces.
Also acting as lobbyists, what Li Dongling told them was obviously much easier. They had many connections in old Europe.
Leveraging their connections and cooperating with Tianya Sports, the two Martins were somewhat confident, and the huge public relations fee was enough for the two of them to fight for their lives!
Of course, this public relations fee cannot be given to them all at once. Instead, it will be given to them in batches. Once resources are obtained for Tianya Sports, a part of it will be settled for them.
Just like a carrot hanging in front of the donkey cart, with this carrot there, there is no fear that the two Martins will not work hard.
"It is our honor to be able to play for Tanglin Hi-Tech!"
Martins also expressed his "loyalty" to Li Dongling.
As for how true this loyalty bought with US dollars is, only the devil knows. Li Dongling does not expect to keep it forever. As long as they can help Tianya Sports gain a foothold in old Europe, that will be enough!
……
After bidding farewell to Ronaldo's team and leaving, Zhong Lifei, who was exhausted, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ronaldo stayed in Hanxi for three days, and the itinerary was arranged by Tianya Sports and Zhong Lifei's football club magazine.
In the past three days, Tianya Sports and Football Club Magazine have also become the spotlight of the domestic sports industry!
In domestic news videos and pictures covering Ronaldo, there are always the logos of Tianya Forum, Tianya Sports, and Football Club Magazine.
Some of Ronaldo's signature sneakers, jerseys, and various latest news were also released by these two companies. Within three days, the number of new users on the Tianya Forum exceeded 50,000!
In the era of the rise of the Internet, this may not be a big deal. Some websites may increase their users by hundreds of thousands a day.
But now the number of domestic Internet users is expected to exceed 620,000 next year, which is indeed a far cry from the tens of millions of Internet users in America.
The Tianya Forum can add 50,000 new users in three days, and a considerable part of them are converted from football fans. One can imagine Ronaldo's influence among fans.
If the performance of Tianya Forum, an Internet company, is not obvious yet, then the sales volume of Football Club Magazine increased by 112% in three days, which shows how strong Ronaldo’s sales ability is.
However, when returning to Ganjiang, Zhong Lifei couldn't help but feel sad again.
Ronaldo's arrival has indeed boosted the sales of football club magazines, but how many times can Ronaldo come to the country a year?
Once the popularity subsides, the sales of football club magazines will continue to fall. The era of paper media is not over yet, but small sports magazines such as football club magazines have already felt the cold winter in advance.
This has nothing to do with the Internet. It’s purely because fewer buyers of sports magazines are watching the games on TV. Isn’t it delicious?
Zhong Lifei couldn't help but think of Li Dongling's proposal to sell the football club magazine to Tianya Sports.
Transforming to online sports in the future may not necessarily be the best choice, but it seems to be one of the few options for football club magazines. As the saying goes, selling yourself is better than going bankrupt!
After returning to Ganjiang, Zhong Lifei, who was determined, took a document and headed towards Ganjiang Publishing Company, the parent company of the football club magazine.
Although Zhong Lifei did not establish the Football Club Magazine, he brought it up single-handedly. He did not want to see his hard work ruined.
If the Football Club Magazine cannot be "merged" with Tianya Sports, then Zhong Lifei will also leave the Football Club Magazine. He does not want to watch the Football Club decline with his own eyes and eventually cease publication!
……
In Yanjing, Tianya Company, which is ranked "No. 1" in Zhongguancun, is still busy at the moment, with no signs of slacking off due to the Chinese New Year.
However, as a company under Donglin Hi-tech, although it is far away in Yanjing, Tianya Company's benefits are also comprehensive. Although it is still a mess this year, the headquarters still issued a year-end bonus to Tianya Company. This is the benefit of relying on a giant company, especially when there is a big financial backer with full support. Tianya Company does not need to worry about suddenly not being able to generate food and grass, and suddenly falling...
In comparison, other Internet companies that emerged in Zhongguancun are not so lucky. Many are struggling to survive and have no idea whether they can survive until tomorrow.
The comparison between the two is stark, and the dwarf is the best. Tianya Company is considered to be "smart" in today's Zhongguancun, and is known as the first Internet company in Zhongguancun.
Li Dongling does not require immediate profits for Tianya Company. It is the flag set up by Dongling Hi-Tech in the Internet industry. As long as it does not fall, Dongling Hi-Tech will become a mountain of its own in the domestic Internet industry and does not need to be controlled by others!
Therefore, even though it has been losing money since its establishment, the headquarters of Dongling Hi-Tech still supports Tianya Company and continues to help Tianya Company acquire land and buy office buildings in Zhongguancun.
Tianya Company is now the largest office building lessor in Zhongguancun. Many Internet companies lease buildings owned by Tianya Company, including Yinghaiwei and other companies that have become famous in recent years.
Not only Tianya Company’s land in Yanjing, but also Tangling High-tech companies such as Tangling High-tech, Oriental Times Mall, and Focus Media have all purchased land in Yanjing one after another at Li Dongling’s request in recent years. Reserve space for establishing headquarters, office buildings, etc. in Yanjing in the future.
"Headquarters has already distributed the year-end bonus for Tianya Company this year, with the same treatment as the employees at the headquarters. You can issue an announcement today and the year-end bonus will be distributed as soon as possible!"
Guo Jingyun, general manager of Tianya Company, explained to the financial director in front of him, and then added, "Jiangmin Technology also issued a bonus!"
Jiangmin Technology, founded by Wang Jiangmin, has quickly become famous in Zhongguancun and Yanjing with its anti-virus software technology that far exceeds that of its peers.
Now Jiangmin Technology has the title of the number one anti-virus software company in Zhongguancun, and it has started to make a profit by selling paid anti-virus software!
Jiangmin Technology was also invested and established by Zhixing Foundation, Dongling Hi-Tech, and Tianya Company. Now it is located in Zhongguancun and is considered by the outside world to be an Internet company of the Tianya family.
"The Football Club Magazine has agreed to the acquisition initiated by Tianya Sports!"
While he was talking, a figure rushed in and said to Guo Jingyun.
The person who came was none other than Zhou Hongyi, who had recently been promoted to deputy general manager of Tianya Company and was Guo Jingyun's right-hand man.
Hearing the news, Guo Jingyun couldn't help stroking his palms hard and said, "It's finally done!"
You must know that Tianya Company is the "orthodox" Internet department of Dongling Hi-Tech, but now, Ximalaya Internet Radio, a subsidiary of Feiyan Technology, is far more famous than Tianya Company.
When Himalaya Radio was established, it was still a programmer supported by Tianya Company. As a result, the latter went to Nasdaq and became the Internet company with the second highest market value in the world. Tianya Company is still doing business in China.
Regardless of how the outside world comments on this rebellious scene against Tiangang, there is still a lot of energy in Tianya Company.
After acquiring the football club magazine and recruiting Zhong Lifei and others, Tianya Forum will be able to use Tianya Sports as its spearhead to start impacting overseas markets!
"This week, the annual meeting will be held at the Tanglin Hi-Tech Headquarters. When the time comes, you will come back to Hanxi with me!"
After all, the annual meeting of Tanglin High-tech has changed a bit. In previous years, the annual meeting of Tanglin High-tech was basically just for everyone to join in the fun, have a meal, and then announce a vacation.
Since last year, I don’t know where it has been reported. The ranking of seats, photo positions, speaking time, etc. at the annual meeting of Tanglin High-tech Headquarters can be seen. The current ranking of powerful people within Tanglin High-tech.
To use human words to describe it, that is, whoever went to Tanglin High-tech’s annual meeting may not be remembered, but whoever did not go will have something to say, and it may very well mean that he has lost power...
There is nothing to be afraid of when there are rumors, but it can be troublesome when someone takes these rumors seriously.
In order not to let themselves be "lost", this year Tanglin Hi-tech, whether at the Hanxi headquarters, at the manager level or above in various parts of the country, or even overseas companies, announced that they will participate in this year's Tanglin Hi-Tech Annual Meeting.
Guo Jingyun is no exception. He is determined to return to the Hanxi headquarters. Tianya Company's position within Dongling Hi-tech is already a bit embarrassing. If he "loses power" again, will Tianya Company still be able to obtain resources in the future? !
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
When Guo Jingyun was about to process the documents, he saw that his junior fellow student from Hanxi Jiaotong University was still standing there, and he couldn't help but ask.
