Chapter 117: Acquisition of the Azeroth Forum

At this time, the NGA forum is still in the restricted registration stage and is in the restricted opening stage. It requires an invitation code to become an official user.

But this is not a difficult task for the old monster player Zhang Yayan.

He has been running the Waiwai Forum so far, and has also learned a lot of lessons from the NGA Forum and used small accounts to learn from the poor posts.

He is a veteran user of the forum!

Therefore, when Lin Yuan mentioned this forum, he became interested directly!

I successfully found the cooperation contact information on the forum and successfully contacted the founder Tian Da.

After the two of them made a simple email communication, Zhang Yayan got the other party's phone number and made a call.

When we learned that both parties worked in the Magic City, we talked about our acquisition intentions.

The other party did not refuse and agreed to the interview.

In order to make the negotiations go smoothly, Zhang Yayan specially collected early data.

In this regard, Lin Yuan ordered Zhang Yaonan to help support him.

Now his stock market is in the clearance stage, so Zhang Yaonan has plenty of time and spent some time to give the relevant information.

In 2001, as an old user of the Warcraft and an early Chinese supporter, Tian Da founded the NGA forum when WOW was first released.

This forum even received official recognition.

In 2004, after Jiucheng took over the mainland agency of Warcraft, he invited Tian Da to serve as the head of the Chineseization of Jiucheng, and his level was not low.

It has always been very surprising that even though Jiucheng knew about the existence of the NGA forum, he never had the idea or plan to acquire the NGA forum.

It seems that they don't look down on this small circle of forum at all.

Perhaps, in their opinion, it doesn't matter whether to acquire this forum or not.

Even many large companies and capital do not look down on this forum with too much restriction.

However, the technical support, server bandwidth, management personnel and other expenses of the forum are not low.

Due to the semi-restricted forum, the benefits in advertising can be said to be very low!

Therefore, it is impossible to achieve balance of income and expenditure, and the forum is still in a loss state.

In order to ensure the operation of the forum, most of the expenses are compensated by Tian Da’s own salary.

Since we don’t have the money to expand the server, we don’t have the money to recruit more technical and audit teams to achieve real-time posting review, semi-limits have become the only way.

This semi-open approach also makes the forum a paradise for veteran Warcraft players, and instead makes the forum very famous in a small circle.

But it is still in the stage where everyone is enchanting.

If registration is open, whether it is content review and management or server fees, it will require a lot of funds.

If he hadn't always loved the monster, he might have given up.

What I am waiting for now is just to give this child I raised myself and have a good future.

Therefore, his original intention is to give the forum a good destination, and secondly, he can also get some cash returns.

On the day of meeting, Zhang Yayan called several people from Waiwai, Yu Hongyang, Wang Qiushui, and Fatty Fang Jie.

The five met in a cafe.

After a brief introduction, Tian Da made it straight to the point.

"I hope the forum has a good future! So I want to know how you plan to run it, and what you plan to do in the future!"

Tian Da’s first demand has always been to hope that the forum can continue to shine and grow.

Although this forum does not pay attention to big capital, some speculative companies are also concerned about it. Those people are just financial speculation and are not real operators.

But he refused!

Zhang Yayan did not speak first. Seeing that Yu Hongyang and others encouraged him to come and talk, he spoke.

"Brother Tian, ​​I'll tell you, we have also run related Warcraft forums and websites before. So I have very experience in how to operate it!"

"What forum?" Tian Da looked up in confusion.

Zhang Yayan hesitated for a moment, and then answered when he saw the encouragement of his friends.

"I am the person in charge of Waiwai Forum and Waiwai Game Network!" He said this without hesitation.

"Is it the same as Waiwai Voice?" Tian Da asked uncertainly.

As a loyal player of Warcraft, he is not only familiar with Waiwai game voice, but also very familiar with it.

When everyone on the other side nodded and admitted, he was a little surprised.

"Don't you already have a forum? Then, after the acquisition, do you want to merge?" If his forum was only closed after being diverted, he would definitely not agree.

Zhang Yayan did not hide it, but did not say it in detail.

"So, we are now leaving our job and starting a business. We want to do this forum separately, not merge it. If you want to know more, you can sign a confidentiality agreement and we will continue..."

After some negotiations, the two parties reached an agreement of intention after a few days!

Before the formal acquisition, Tian Da asked to visit Waiwai Company.

After visiting, we confirmed that what everyone said was true.

If such an experienced team in the circle is to operate, he is very willing. As long as he can take it seriously, he will not be too high in terms of price.

After learning more about Zhang Yayan’s future plans, he also agreed and asked that some operating terms be written into the agreement.

After learning about the acquisition price reached by both parties, Lin Yuan was a little silent.

He felt that the price was a bit cheaper!

Compared with the high prices of those game websites, tens of millions of meters of gold are often used!

However, these forums are very unpopular with capital, and never even care about it.

After thinking about it briefly, it seemed that in his previous life, in addition to Baidu Tieba, such a full category forum, it was also Tianya Forum.

In other cases, few forums have great influence and have received great investment.

But the decline of Tieba and Tianya seems to indicate that the forum model is inherently limited.

Especially this kind of restricted and open small circle forum is inherently not high growth or explosiveness.

After obtaining Lin Yuan’s consent, the two parties finally reached an acquisition agreement for 5 million!

At the suggestion of Zhang Yayan Yu Hongyang and others, he invited the other party to join and promised shares, but the other party refused!

At the same time, Lin Yuan invested 5 million yuan in Zhang Yayan and Fang Jie's small team and signed a step-by-step incentive agreement!

If they can complete it, Lin Yuan’s equity will be less than 50% by then!

After discussing with Dowan, Zhang Yayan resigned from Waiwai Company in advance and was directly responsible for the acquisition of the forum.

...

In mid-January, Lin Yuan came to the office building where Waiwai Company was located, but did not enter Waiwai Company.

Instead, he had a small meeting with Wang Hong and others in the stock trading office.

The conference room is a bit small, and now there are 10 or 20 people in the small team. Fortunately, the meetings are all the main members of the office, so they can sit down even if they are crowded.

At this time, his funds had been withdrawn from the stock market.

Since the stock price was still in the growth stage in early January, he directly drew six or seven million.

Over the past few months, he has cashed out about 33 million yuan in total

Finance Liu Guangzhen first made financial reports for the past six months.

Look at the numbers on PPT!

Remove office daily expenses, employee costs, and miscellaneous expenses, as well as Wang Hong’s team’s commission of 1.6 million!

He received a total of about 30 million.

The cost he invested last year was only about 250.

More than ten times more!

Everyone was also very excited when they looked at the report!

If the boss earns more, they will not be less commission.

"This is everyone's bonus allocation plan!" Lin Yuan first showed the plan.

The bonus allocation plan was submitted by Wang Hong. Lin Yuan was only responsible for signing and agreeing, and did not make any changes, but only slightly changed.

It's a testimony that I've read the plan!
Chapter completed!
