Chapter 1018 Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, weeping with gratitude

magic capital.

Zhou Buqi was mentally prepared.

Shi Yuzhu wanted to play a trick of borrowing flowers and presenting Buddha to make himself grateful, that was really bullying his youth.

When I went to the giant, I was a little surprised. With my current status, Shi Yuzhu didn't come out to greet him, but sent a beautiful female secretary out.

"President Shi is in a meeting?"

"No, I'm playing a game."

"What?"

Zhou Buqi couldn't laugh or cry.

The secretary looked serious, "Giant is a game company, the boss has to come to the front line in person, he is the chief experiencer of the company's products."

"All right."

Zhou Buqi shrugged, whatever the boss does is right.

When I went to the office, I saw Shi Yuzhu sitting at the desk, concentrating on playing games, and there was a man and a woman waiting beside him. It was an inspirational picture.

Zhou Buqi didn't like playing games, so he said angrily, "Old Shi, do you still play?"

"Ah?" Shi Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, "Oh, you're here, wait a minute, I'll finish this dungeon! Meimei, take good care of Mr. Zhou."

Then, I went back to playing games.

The female secretary was also a little embarrassed, and said coyly, "Mr. Zhou, you sit down first, and I'll make you tea. Our boss doesn't usually do this, because he doesn't treat you like an outsider."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll wait here for a while. Don't make tea, have some coffee. I worked too late last night. You see, my two secretaries didn't sleep well."

"Okay, coffee."

The female secretary, Meimei, smiled, her eyes full of admiration.

At the same time, I feel a little helpless about the absurdity of my boss.

Why can't you learn from Mr. Zhou?

Seeing that the two secretaries are not in good spirits, it must be because they were too busy and tired at work yesterday.

Those who work hard will never have bad luck.

Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi, my job is very leisurely, but I lack motivation. As long as you can work half as hard as Mr. Zhou, even if I work harder, I will be willing!

While going to make coffee, the female secretary sighed inwardly, feeling like the vicissitudes of life were wasted.

Ten minutes later, Shi Yuzhu finally finished the dungeon. He seemed to have picked up some magical equipment. He was very happy and cheered.

Then, he got up and gave up his position to the male assistant beside him, letting him continue leveling.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "You are an assistant, and you are also in charge of playing games for you."

Shi Yuzhu snorted, "This is a game booster I specially hired."

Zhou Buqi laughed, "Well, professional."

"Let's go, let's go to the next door to talk, there is something I want to ask you for advice."

Shi Yuzhu took him to the next door, the environment was fresh, there were several pots of green plants, it was much cleaner.

Then when talking about "Three Kingdoms", Shi Yuzhu's attitude is very relaxed, isn't it just a web game, it's not worth mentioning! It can be solved easily!

The copyright of "Three Kingdoms" originally belonged to Youka, and Youka was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ziweixing. Now Ziweixing wants to take back the copyright, Shanda has no reason not to let go.

Once the dispute is broken, even if Shanda can hold the copyright of "Three Kingdoms", without the cooperation of the game card, it will not be able to develop a good game. You can't be angry when doing business, and you must put your interests first.

Zhou Buqi told him not to be careless. The game development of "Three Kingdoms" is not simply entrusting an agent, but also the revenue sharing of future games.

If Youka just pays and entrusts the winger to develop the game "Three Kingdoms", it will be very simple, just get it back, and the deposit will be unnecessary.

But the games developed in this mode are often not satisfactory.

It is necessary to deeply bind the interests of both parties in order to develop a good game. If the development is purely entrusted, the winger will pay the money and deliver the goods, and the two will be settled afterwards. Whether the game is good or not and whether it will be successful has nothing to do with them, and they don't pay enough attention to game design and development.

If 50% of the future income of the "Three Kingdoms" game is given to the winger, it can save a sum of early game development costs for Youka, and save subsequent maintenance, operation and upgrade costs. Bundle and work together to make the game work.

It's like "The Voice" pays very low salaries to the tutors, but has to give them future profit dividends; the blind box of the Three Kingdoms series gives the chief designer Zheng Zigong a very low salary, but has to pay future profit dividends.

In fact, it is all the same reason, it is the option mechanism.

This kind of contract binding is very complicated.

If there is a direct breach of contract, it may now have to pay a liquidated damages of 150 million to 200 million yuan.

Ziweixing only spent 30 million yuan to acquire the game card, so naturally it can't be taken advantage of.

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "I must take back the copyright. If Shanda disagrees, I will have to pay liquidated damages."

Shi Yuzhu waved his hand casually, and said with a smile: "It's not that serious, it's not that serious. Now Lao Chen is much more low-key, and he doesn't dare to cause trouble. Isn't it turning the table over for you to pay liquidated damages? He is timid now, no Dare to get into a stalemate with you. Don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders. Later, I will hand over all the giant's game advertising agency business to Shanda, and you are an additional condition, so the negotiation is over."

Zhou Buqi looked grateful, "Old Shi, thank you so much!"

"You're welcome."

Shi Yuzhu waved his hands vigorously, as if he could do it at his fingertips.

Zhou Buqi complimented again: "Last year, I also heard that an investment bank questioned the stock price risk of Giant Network, thinking that your popular game "Zhengtu" is too risky to walk on one leg. I heard that you have launched A new game called "Giant."

Shi Yuzhu said happily: "Yes, "Giant", the results are not bad, the public beta was launched in March, and now the number of simultaneous online users has exceeded 350,000."

"Is this walking on two legs?"

"yes."

"I'm tired from walking, I still have to do a foot massage to relax."

"Ahem..."

Shi Yuzhu's face blushed immediately, and he realized that his little plan had been exposed.

"Giant" has been ordered to rectify because of the vulgar in-game advertisements.

Otherwise, he would not be cruel to change the advertising agency.

It is necessary to put on a posture to show the official, showing the determination of Giant Network.

When the point was over, Zhou Buqi didn't delve into it, and asked with a smile: "Okay, I'll leave this to you. By the way, what did you say you wanted to talk to me just now?"

Shi Yuzhu said very seriously: "Well, there is one very important matter, I am a little uncertain, please help me out."

"what?"

"What do you think of 51?"

"ah?"

Zhou Bu's head is getting bigger.

It's 51 again!

In Pengcheng, I chatted with Mr. Ma once. Come to Shanghai, President Shi will also mention this.

Zhou Buqi didn't have any in-depth understanding of the company 51, mainly because he didn't like it. The other party's level was too low to reach the level that Ziweixing paid close attention to.

Shi Yuzhu said: "MySpace invested 300 million US dollars to acquire 51, have you heard about it?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, and heard a little, "I heard that the acquisition failed?"

Shi Yuzhu said: "Well, it failed. But 51 is short of money now and is in a hurry to raise funds. This is a sweet potato, and many venture capital institutions have participated in it."

"Yeah?"

Zhou Buqi was careless.

"Huh?" Seeing his indifference, Shi Yuzhu couldn't help being a little surprised, "Haven't you followed 51? This is the third largest social network in China, right? The top ten PV volume is stable, second only to Friends.com , Qzone, Baidu, Weidian, and Toutiao are several big websites.”

"The traffic is high but cannot be realized. It is no different from no traffic." Zhou Buqi waved his hand, curious, "Why did you suddenly ask about 51? You can't...you don't want to invest in 51, do you?"

Shi Yuzhu said: "They are all enterprises in Shanghai, and Giant Network is paying attention. 51's traffic cannot be realized, so just find a way to realize the traffic. Not to mention other venture capital, even Ali wants to participate! "

"Ali?" Zhou Buqi looked shocked, "Has Ali taken a fancy to 51?"

Shi Yuzhu took it for granted: "That's for sure. Ali is engaged in e-commerce and is best at monetizing traffic. Combining it with 51 will be very effective."

Zhou Buqi frowned, "I never heard of it!"

However, the business logic of Ali’s investment in 51 exists.

The most important thing to do e-commerce is to find traffic.

Ali has now broken up with Baidu and has blocked Baidu search. At the same time, Ali and Penguin are in a competitive relationship, and this road is also broken.

Ali's traffic source mainly relies on Ziwei Star, and for this reason, it has also strategically invested in shares.

Investing in 51 Community is the same logic.

Traffic Well, of course, the more the better.

However, the notorious reputation of 51 in the industry, can Lao Ma take a liking to it?

Highly suspicious!

Shi Yuzhu said: "The 51 community and Giant's business are complementary. Giant has a strong monetization channel, and 51 has enough traffic. It may take 3-5 years to see returns if you rely on e-commerce to monetize. Relying on games to monetize, it will be immediate. "

Zhou Buqi twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, "So what? You and the old horse are fighting for 51?"

Shi Yuzhu laughed, "It can't be considered a robbery, he gave it to me. The old horse is still very loyal. He had been in contact with 51 for more than half a month, and the conversation was almost over. After I entered the field, he still Give it to me. In this matter, I owe him a favor."

"Ahem..."

Zhou Buqi almost burst out laughing, and quickly drank coffee to cover it up.

Sure enough!

Let me just say, how can the old horse fall in love with 51?

This old history...

Still a bad show.

I wanted to play a wave of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and I was grateful to Dade for a favor, but it was exposed. It's a good thing for him, he was so grateful to be played by the old horse to borrow flowers to offer Buddha.

Shi Yuzhu seemed to see something, and looked suspicious, "What do you mean? You don't think 51 is okay?"

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and asked, "What's the price you offered?"

Shi Yuzhu said: "A venture capital institution's offer is 50 million U.S. dollars, accounting for 20% of the shares. Giants have resource advantages, and they can complement each other to help 51 realize cash. My request here is 50 million U.S. dollars for 25% of the shares. Now it's me The president of the company is in contact with 51, and I haven't come forward yet. But the general financing plan has come out."

"50 million dollars..."

Zhou Buqi shook his head.

From the perspective of volume, 50 million US dollars accounts for 25% of the shares, which is affordable enough.

51 has 120 million users and 32 million active users.

Among them, 14 million of the 32 million active users are young and beautiful users who have passed face authentication.

This is the greatest resource in the Internet community.

Having a beautiful woman is equivalent to having a man and traffic.
