#656 - I will beat your son

After lunch break, Xu Ye drove to the door of the club sent by Zhang Yiming alone.

Zhang Yiming must have greeted the service staff in the club. As soon as Xu Ye walked in, someone came forward and asked, "Is it Mr. Xu?"

After Xu Ye nodded, the service staff took Xu Ye to a tea room alone.

After the door opened, Zhang Yiming stood up and smiled and said, "Mr. Xu is younger than I thought."

Xu Ye also reached out and said, "I have been looking back for a long time, Mr. Zhang."

"Please sit down."

Xu Ye sat down and said to the waiter, "Give me a cup of black tea, thank you."

"Please wait."

Zhang Yiming is born in the 1980s. Even though he has been a boss for many years, he still has the temperament of a science and engineering man. He put on glasses and took the initiative to raise the topic and said, "Before I came to the Magic City, I looked at your resume in advance, you It's much better than when I was in college."

"Let's luck."

"If you start a business, luck, strength and vision are indispensable."

Xu Ye nodded: "That's true."

The waiter returned the tea again and brought a cup of black tea, then quickly went out of the tea room and closed the door.

Xu Ye is no longer nervous when facing these business tycoons. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of black tea, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, we are all young people. Don't go around in circles if you have something to say. You probably didn’t make me come out this afternoon just to treat me to tea.”

Zhang Yiming was not surprised that Xu Ye would say this: Shopping malls are like battlefields. Who can work hard in the malls? Who is not a thousand-year-old turtle?

"Yes, I have a crush on your Tomato Technology Culture Company."

"I guessed it."

"Your short plays have a good effect on Douyin."

"really."

Zhang Yiming smiled and said, "So before you came, you guessed the purpose of me looking for you?"

"Um."

"Then tell me what you think."

Xu Ye kept a secret and said, "I want to make a deal with Mr. Zhang."

"What deal?"

"I'll let you invest in tomatoes, you'll let me invest in Tiktok."

“Tiktok?”

"That's right."

Zhang Yiming said with surprise: "Tiktok was only launched last year and entered the US market this year. Although there is no valuation of tiktok outside, it cost $1 billion to acquire musically, so our internal valuation of it is two. 1.5 billion US dollars, but because we want to accept foreign capital in the face of foreign markets, which is conducive to the development of Tiktok, I will sell up to 20% of the shares to domestic capital."

"This is a coincidence."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "I can just take out 500 million US dollars."

Zhang Yiming frowned and said, "The competition in the US market is very fierce. With Twitter and Facebook, tiktok may not be able to make it. 500 million US dollars should not be a small amount for you. Are you sure you want to make this deal?"

"Does Mr. Zhang have no confidence in himself?"

"I don't mean that, I just want to remind you."

"For tomatoes, Mr. Zhang thinks how much valuation can be now?"

Zhang Yiming said: "Tomatoes can quickly kill you from the market based on the free model. I heard from the people below that there was a Feixiang Novel Network before, and you were all fucked down."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Tomatoes will definitely become NO1 in free novels, now and in the future."

"But it's just the beginning."

"If tomato novels can cooperate with character beating, it will indeed have a great gain, so I can sell 45% of the shares. This way, Mr. Zhang, we use our fingers to dip our fingers into the table in front of each other and write a number to billions of dollars. As a unit, we are both honest, how about it?”

Zhang Yiming nodded with interest: "Okay."

Xu Ye quickly dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote a behind his teacup without thinking: 5.

Even though Tomatoes have just started, the daily MAU of the three softwares, novels, short dramas, and listening to books, has been rising, which is worth 1 billion in Xu Ye’s heart.

For 45%, that is 450 million yuan, and the unit is naturally RMB, but when it comes to business, there is always room for bargaining.

Seeing that Zhang Yiming had written it, the two looked at each other and quickly picked up the tea cup in their hands at the same time.

As a result, Xu Ye wrote 5 and Zhang Yiming wrote 4.

The two of them seemed to have seen through each other's thoughts at the same time and laughed out loud together.

"Then let's save the bargaining process and just take the middle number, right?"

"Can."

“Happy cooperation.”

“Happy cooperation.”

After talking about business, Xu Ye did not leave immediately, but continued to chat with Zhang Yiming for more than an hour. The two of them did have many common topics.

After the chat, Xu Ye also briefly planned the future development plan of Douyin for Zhang Yiming, which surprised Zhang Yiming. He did not expect that Xu Ye would have such a long-term vision in this regard, so that at the end of the chat, the two People feel that they wish they met too late.

...

It was already four o'clock when he came out of the club. Xu Ye was too lazy to go back to the company and drove back home.

Chen Qingqing was lying on the sofa boredly playing with her cell phone. When she saw Xu Ye coming back, she realized that her eyes were sore. She was about to sit up and rub her twice, but she...bounced her waist.

“Ah~”

"What's wrong?"

"It hurts."

Xu Ye trotted over and asked, "Why does it hurt?"

"waist."

"Don't move when you have sex."

Xu Ye stepped on the sofa, rubbed Chen Qingqing's waist on his hand, and said, "They're only in their seventies and eighties, but they're only in their twenties, but they're in their early twenties, and they're hurting their waists."

"I'm dodging my waist, okay? Try scolding me again."

"What else can you do?"

Chen Qingqing put his hand on his stomach: "If you scold me, I will beat your son."

"Chen Qingqing, you can do it. You have learned to use the emperor to command the princes."

"That's it."

"Tomorrow on Saturday, I will make an appointment with someone tonight and have a barbecue party in the yard tomorrow afternoon to get together."

"Okay, then should we go to the supermarket tomorrow morning?"

Xu Ye shrugged and said, "Tomorrow, I'll just go alone."

"Why don't you let me go?"

"I'm afraid you're tired."

"But staying at home all day, I'll go crazy."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Then let's go to the supermarket together tomorrow morning. After dinner, I will accompany you for a walk."

"We haven't been to Aunt Yang Lin's house for a long time. Do we want to call her over tomorrow?"

"Well, I'll call her tonight. Xiao Wenhao is three years old now. It's a fun time. Let Aunt Yang Lin bring it with you."

"Silly Pig~" Chen Qingqing pulled Xu Ye's shirt cuffs.

"ah?"

She sat on the sofa, raised her head and said, "Kiss me~"

Xu Ye deliberately disagreed and said, "Oh, what's the kiss between the old couple?"

Chen Qingqing pouted her mouth, looked like a pistol in her right hand, pointed to her belly and said, "Do you kiss me?"

Xu Ye quickly surrendered: "Dear, I can't kiss you."
