Agreement Reached
Chapter 684:Agreement Reached
Zhou Bing in his office, met the vice president who came to visit Yoyo, Zhao Xudong.
He is at the helm, and now the most popular game company in the Huaxia Internet - yo-yo game, which has the fire all over the world "World of Warcraft", "League of Legends", as well as the extremely hot in the Chinese market, with the first ladder of "through the line of fire", "underground city and warrior", and "Sword Man Love III".
Even their second-line products, "Tianlong Eight", and "Xinxian", can only make themselves look up.
This is a well-deserved game empire, even if the second Tencent, the third NetEase together, can not see the back of the yo-yo.
What they admire is that their games are either agents, bought studios, or developed independently.So far, none of these fires have been plagiarized.
Even if there are some negative words on the Internet, overall, yo-yo's reputation is second to none among Internet companies.
Because you scold you and slander you, it is likely that you will be a companion.
After all, not being jealous is a necessary!
Zhao Xudong observed Zhou Bing, a lean man more than ten years older than the boss.
He was a little nervous, excited, and the look of the wings that could not be hidden.
For him, he is a warrior, a life-saving straw.
Frankly, two years ago, when he set up a happy network, he wanted to compete with Weibo in the market, a year ago, "steal" game fire, but at this time micro-blog has long become a leader in the social field, Zhou Bing thought of relying on "steal" this game, hold their own an acre and three points, and then live their own small days.
But now, the Penguin company launched the "QQ Farm" with the momentum of breaking bamboo, and he could not keep his one acre and three points.
At this moment, Zhou Bing, even if he is arrogant and has confidence in his own happy network, he will not naively think that the happy network can impact Weibo, in the eyes of Zhou Bing in such a circle, Weibo is suffocating.
Even the same powerful Tencent Weibo, under this terrible fight, invested countless real money and silver, persisted for two years, and had to retreat.
Not to mention, NetEase Weibo and Sohu Weibo, which have already been suspended.
A few days ago, yoyo's high-level found themselves, expressed investment intention, he did not say anything, he chose to agree.
Zhou Bing analyzed the behavior of Liu Yun, the founder of Yoyo, and this is not a master of doing hegemonic behavior.
He is a guy who has always put "win-win cooperation" on his lips, and then count his investment projects in detail.
The operator of Weibo is Sina, the global online game LOL "League of Legends", the decision-making power is still in the hands of the fist company, the injection of OPPO and VIVO, but the two companies still maintain independence.
As Liu Yun has always said: a person's energy is limited, and I have always insisted on professional people, doing professional things.
Zhou Bing also put himself in the position to ponder the motivation of Yoyo to invest in the happy network: 1, Liu Yun for the happy network project is recognized, they come with a large amount of money, as well as sincerity.The competition between the two giants, Yoyo and Tencent, from games to social, from PC to mobile, has been everywhere.
Happy net is the prey in the eyes of Tencent, but it is also a pawn in the eyes of Yo-Yo.
Tencent has social products such as QQ, but yo-yo also has micro-blogs, as well as rising letters.
If the happy network wants to survive in this cruel Internet market, it must be hugged by this big tree.
Zhou Bing is a businessman, he knows in his heart that Liu Yun will specially send the vice president of the company to see him, has explained the value of happy network.
Zhao Xudong looked at the other party with some eager expression and smiled: "First of all, Zhou can rest assured that after entering the stake and cooperating, the helm of the happy network is still you, and Yo-Yo is not interested in the matter of fighting for power and profit."Liu has always believed that you are a great product manager.”
Zhou Jun breathed a little, but his mouth said: "Of course I believe in Yo-Yo, and Liu General."This time, you are willing to send charcoal in the snow, and I am already grateful."
Zhao Xudong nodded and smiled, “Then we will talk about cooperation.”Shouldn’t you always be aware of the current situation of the Internet?”
Zhou Bing replied: "Because Tencent launched the 'QQ Farm', with QQ drainage, and QQ space tied together, which makes us become very passive."
Zhao Xudong said confidently: "QQ is indeed a huge killer, its drainage effect for most Internet companies, is a huge threat, but we are an exception."
From the beginning of the yo-yo browser, input method, security guard, to the later micro-blog, these PC-based products, Tencent has almost imitated, but the effect is very little.
Because of the existence of yo-yo passes, the barriers between these products have been broken.Of course, this is also inseparable from the strong research and development capabilities of the entire Yoyo Group team.
"Your plight is indeed partly due to Tencent, but not all the reasons for each other."Your game version update is slow, the gameplay is not rich enough, the research and development capabilities of the technical team, than Tencent, these are related."
The soldier was silent for a moment and nodded his head silently.
The other person is very analytical and cannot be refuted.
“Our investment starts from two perspectives, channels and technology.”Zhao Xudong cleared his throat, "We will first inject some funds to enhance the strength of the happy network technical team, at least with Tencent's team in a class."
Zhou Bing sat up straight and said: "No problem, the strength of the technology research and development team also determines the quality of the product."As for the promotion of channels...”
Zhao Xudong continued with a smile: "First of all, happy network, must be incorporated into the yo-yo pass."
The soldier bowed his head and thought for a while, gritting his teeth and agreeing to this condition.
This step means that in the next few days, the happy network will be firmly tied together.
Although the company's helm is still their own, many decision-making aspects, they must consider the idea of Yoyo.
"Of course it's only the first step."Zhao Xudong continued, "Happy Network itself is just a small website with limited traffic, so I am ready to introduce it to Weibo."In the micro-blog interface, there is already a game section, which is some of the company's own research and development of the page.We are ready to import Stealing data into the game section of the Weibo page and will keep it in a prominent position in the center.You can see it as a netizen."
He took a deep breath, and that was the channel he dreamed of.
Such a promotion channel, he was previously unattainable, but now it is only a short sentence for a large company.
He remembers that when Jingdong network in exchange for Youxin, as well as Weibo's promotion channels, the use of shares for channels model, although the shares seem insignificant, but for Zhou Bing, is still an astronomical number.
"Can I ask what the replacement shares of the channel promotion are."The soldier couldn’t stop asking.
“How about 5%?”Zhao Xudong smiled and added, "PC, and the future mobile end, one-time packaging."
5% is not much, this condition is acceptable.
What about the future of mobile promotion?
He was a little puzzled: "Stealing food" is a PC side of the page, and it has something to do with the mobile end?"
Zhao Xudong laughed, “Why not?Today, the game is limited to PC, but not necessarily in the future.Stealing food itself is not very demanding on the configuration of the operating system, and it can also be fully run on the smartphone.We hope to launch the Android and iOS versions by the end of this year.
On the mobile side, players can use the yo-yo pass and log in to the game with a yo-yo account.”
Zhou Jun frowned, thought for a moment, felt that this matter is indeed feasible, and nodded his head seriously.
“Then there is the question of the amount of funds.”Zhao Xudong finally talked about the focus, "After analysis, the value of Happy Net plus its current potential, is valued at 50 million US dollars."
The potential?Zhou Bing is well aware that the potential of this website has already been tapped in today's operating mode.
If Tencent steps closer, the valuation of Happy Network will only get worse.
He knows that he doesn’t have much room to bargain, but he still wants to try...
“Mr. Zhao, I think even if it’s a game of stealing food, it’s worth 50 million?”The soldier scratched his hair and laughed bitterly.
“Several years ago, it might have been worth it.”Zhao Xudong stared at each other and said flatly, “The valuation of this kind of thing is changing rapidly.Sometimes it's just three days away, and there's a difference, not to mention the situation today."
He is silent, as an Internet person.Of course, he heard the widely circulated saying: Internet companies are only three months away from bankruptcy.
Three months ago, you were a new company; three months later, it had become yesterday’s yellow flower.
Examples of this abound.
If Zhou Bing chooses to look for investment companies at the peak of Happy Net, then the initiative is in his own hands.
“How many shares do you want to buy?”
"This time, not financing, but directly to buy your equity."So we need to buy their stocks from Zhou Total and a few venture capital firms.Yoyo wants to be the second shareholder after your startup team, but we want to have a veto.”
Zhou Bing said for a while: "I will arrange a time for representatives of Yoyo and several venture capital companies such as Northern Lights to meet and discuss the sale of stocks."As for a veto ... I can promise if you commit yourself to maintaining your position as a second shareholder and not increasing your equity.”
Zhao Xudong smiled: "No problem, cooperation must be sincere."
A veto can negate the other party's proposals and suggestions, but it cannot deprive the other party of their rights.
In Zhou's view, Yoyo has a veto, which cannot be more bullshit between the two sides, but it will not affect his identity as the helm.
A veto, compared with the controlling, the latter is likely to cause the company's power to change, the founder is thrown out of the dilemma.
The former only adds some voice and exercises the responsibilities of shareholders, although it will be bullshit, but it will not cause the company to change its name.
The two sides concluded the first round of negotiations and agreed that the second round of negotiations would be held in the fastest possible time.
Zhou Bing is also anxious, because every day of delay, the active users of Happy Net, under Tencent's offensive, are reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
...
At the beginning of August, yo-yo officially released the announcement, the company officially acquired part of the equity of Happy Network, and the two companies signed an agreement to officially become a strategic partner.
At the same time, Liu Yun sent an intriguing micro-blog on Weibo: I have always believed that in the Internet era, IT companies can fully achieve a win-win cooperation model.Investing in others and creating a suitable entrepreneurial environment may get better returns in the future.
Many onlookers were excited, and they felt that Liu Yun's microblog was blatantly ironic about the penguin.
And far away in Yanjing, is preparing for the millet mobile phone Lei Jun, but disdainfully left: win-win cooperation?What about the skin?How did you die of my golden mountain poisoner?
