Penguin 5000 Internet cafes are strongly supported by Intel. After all, this is a good publicity opportunity for Intel. Intel provides sponsorship in terms of decoration costs. The only requirement is that the Intel LOGO must be clearly displayed in the Internet cafes.

...

Penguin has made half of Hong Kong’s stock investors dizzy.

Chief Yahoo, who is far away in the Lighthouse Country, hates Brother Ma so much that he gnashes his teeth.

Yahoo finally recovered after the Internet winter and was listed at 3 US dollars. Unexpectedly, due to the emergence of Penguin, it fell back to more than 2 US dollars. This also affected the Internet stocks of the lighthouse country.

Some Wall Street investment banks even said that the Internet bubble is not over yet and a new round of decline is coming.

Both Shanda and Wangji have already negotiated with Wall Street investment banks, and both companies will be listed on Nasdaq next year. However, they had to postpone their plans because of Penguin's problems.

Penguin has indirectly offended Internet companies at home and abroad.

...

However, the fact that Penguin is opening 5,000 Internet cafes shocked all domestic Internet companies.

Chen Tianqiao: "Is Brother Ma crazy? Is he engaged in physical or Internet business?"

Ding Sanshi: "I think he was driven crazy by Qilin."

Zhu Jun: "Let's fight, let's fight, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

Thunder Monkey: "Come on, little horse, kill Qilin. Grandma, no one buys Jinshan Drug Tyrant now."

Wang Xin: "10086, the same goes for Ruixing."

Everyone in the industry can see that Penguin has been driven crazy, otherwise no Internet company would open an Internet cafe. This battle is likely to be Penguin's last battle.

...

Kirin Headquarters

"Boss, Penguin will open 5,000 Penguin Internet cafes across the country." Nie Luren went to Cao Mang to report after receiving the news.

"Pfft~"

Cao Mang accidentally sprayed the whole screen again. This news was too shocking for him.

"Brother Xiao Ma must be crazy, how can they get so much money?" Cao Mang replied.

"Boss, Penguin was listed on Hong Kong Island last week and raised 3.4 billion Hong Kong dollars." Nie Luren rolled his eyes and said, feeling speechless that his boss didn't care about outside news.

"Let Penguin drive, he's just drinking poison to quench his thirst." Cao Mang replied.

There are now more than 50,000 Internet cafes across the country, and more than 30,000 are Kirin franchisees. Even if Penguin opens 5,000 Internet cafes, it will not have a big impact on Kirin.

Moreover, on May 10, the Ministry of Culture issued the "Interim Provisions on the Management of Internet Culture" (effective from July 1, 2003), marking the Ministry of Culture becoming another administrative supervision department of China's Internet.

It’s not that easy for Penguin’s 5,000 Internet cafes to be launched.

In addition, in June, Wang Jipeng and others used "Blog China" as a platform to denounce and criticize online pornography, and published a series of sharp articles such as "The Next Title of Website CEO: Madam - Talking About Internet Pornography".

When the time comes, the anti-pornography campaign will follow closely. At present, except for Qilin, no other Internet companies in China have engaged in anti-pornography, which will definitely bring a lot of trouble to Penguin.

"Sony Music hopes to cooperate with Qilin Music, but they do not agree to the copyright requirements." Nie Luren said.

"If you don't agree, we won't force it. If you want us to help sell it, you must give us the copyright." Cao Mang replied.

Nowadays, Kylin Music has a certain influence in the domestic music scene. I don’t know how many domestic companies are asking to cooperate with Kylin. Kylin’s strategy will not change until the Internet Copyright Law is enacted.

“In April, Total Crossfire’s revenue was RMB 31 million, an increase of 8% month-on-month, Bubble Hall’s revenue was RMB 16.5 million, an increase of 6% month-on-month, Audition’s revenue was RMB 14 million, an increase of 10% month-on-month, and Kirin Speed’s revenue was RMB 12 million, an increase of 3% month-on-month.

%, board and card game revenue of 9 million yuan increased by 2% month-on-month." Cao Mang didn't say much after making the decision, and Nie Luren reported the game performance in April.

"Game skins are our main revenue. The planning department needs to put more effort into it, but one thing we must pay attention to is that game skins can add some attributes, but they cannot affect the balance of the game.

In addition, emoji packs are also a revenue direction. Whether you are an individual or a studio, you can cooperate with the company. The cooperation method is 50-50, but the copyright must belong to the company.

Let the technical department create a special page, and after signing a contract with the company, it can be uploaded to the Kirin Emoticon Mall for sale," Cao Mang said.

Cao Mang is very satisfied with the income from the game. He did not expect to earn 82.5 million yuan in April alone. If the income from advertising is included, Kirin Entertainment has a profit of hundreds of millions a month. After deducting various expenses, the net profit should be 70 million yuan.

It can have an annual income of 700 million.

However, compared to other online game companies, it is still a bit inferior. After all, Qilin Games’ revenue comes from skins. After all, their games are charged based on point cards.

"Dong dong dong~"

"Luo Li, come in." Cao Mang looked at the door and said after seeing it was Luo Li.

"Boss, the page of Qilin Literature has been prepared. The contract has also been prepared by Mr. Yin. Twenty editors have been hired so far. Qilin Literature can be online at any time." Luo Li handed over the document in his hand.

said.

"Are there any activities to recruit authors after it goes online?" Cao Mang asked after looking through the documents.

"Every quarter, we organize an activity called Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to motivate authors. The top eight on the sales list can be given certain rewards. Every year, we organize a one-million-author award. The first place in annual sales will be rewarded with one million, and the second place will be given five hundred thousand.

The third place will be awarded 300,000 yuan, but this reward is not given in vain, except for online literature, all other copyrights must belong to the company." Cao Mang said.

"Okay, boss." Luo Li nodded.

"If the editorial department sees good novels, they can recommend them to Kirin Media's Xu Huashan. They should mainly focus on female channel novels. Female channel novels are easier to adapt. Once the novels recommended by the editor are adopted by Kirin Media, they will be rewarded

The recommended editor will receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan." Cao Mang added.

"Understood, boss." Luo Li replied.

"The editor's bonus is linked to the contracted novels. Editors of contracted novels can get a contingency bonus. We should not be too stingy with the editorial department to avoid them taking advantage of the situation." Cao Mang added again.

Luo Li reported the editor's salary before recruiting people. The current editor's salary is only 1,200 yuan, but Cao Mang feels that there must be incentives.

"Okay, boss." Luo Li replied.

"Old Nie, please cooperate with Luo Li here. Qilin Literature is a key project of the company, and advertising must be adequately provided. Also, how is the situation of Qilin Weibo?" Cao Mang has since mentioned Qilin Weibo to Nie Luren.

After what happened, he remembered that it had been a long time since he had asked about Qilin Weibo.

"The current situation of Qilin Weibo is not very good." Nie Luren replied awkwardly.

"It's been so long and there's no improvement at all. If it doesn't work, just replace the person..." Cao Mang shook his head.
