Chapter eight hundred and thirtieth two things here
"Happy cooperation, Director Jay!"
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Li!"
In Shanghai, in the chairman's office of Dongsheng Group's headquarters, Zhou Dongsheng and Li Chaohui sat opposite each other. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and they obviously felt that they had made a fortune in this transaction.
From Tenda's point of view, although it is more optimistic about Mobike's model, if it is purely from the perspective of broadening the mobile payment ecosystem, it can have the opportunity to get the chips of Xiaohuang Bicycle and have a foothold in Xiaohuang Bicycle...
This will undoubtedly be able to better secure benefits for Tenda. After all, holding 10% of the chips is enough to have a place in the little yellow car, and this weight is not low at all.
Especially inspired by Zhou Dongsheng's "unintentional remarks", if shared bicycles are to be able to "repeat the same mistakes" as Didi did, complete the strategic merger.
So having a certain say in the little yellow car is undoubtedly crucial. No matter how strong the fortress is, dismantling it from the inside is often the simplest and most efficient way.
It is undoubtedly the most appropriate thing to break into the opponent first, and then have Tengda step in to act as a bridge between vertical and horizontal forces. In comparison, Zhou Dongsheng seems to be a bit understated.
The weight of the same 10% shares held in the hands of Zhou Dongsheng and held by Tengda is obviously not on the same level.
But this does not prevent Zhou Dongsheng from taking this opportunity to sell this bargaining chip at a high price. After all, if he cannot do such a challenging thing, he can leave it to Tengda.
Get rid of this burden and leave the market with a profit, and you can also obtain sufficient funds, which can be used in the development of other projects, which will definitely play a greater role.
After all, the biggest role of shared bicycles, whether it is the development of the mobile payment ecosystem or the lofty concept of the Internet of Things, is obviously not Zhou Dongsheng's stage.
Without enough knowledge and foundation, it is obviously difficult to compete with the big guys on the same stage.
Of course, with the current foundation of Dongsheng Group, it is not impossible. As long as we can find another way, there may be a chance to work side by side with the big guys, but it will take some time to accumulate.
Whether it is live streaming e-commerce or short video business, they are still in the stage of accumulation and development, and there is obviously still a long way to go before they can become the trendsetters leading the trend of the times.
But there is no doubt that these are the main battlefields for the next stage of mobile Internet, and they are also one of the few avenues that allow latecomers to overtake in corners.
Relying on the advantage of being the first to enter the horse racing arena, Zhou Dongsheng has undoubtedly accumulated sufficient advantages. If he holds such a huge advantage, he cannot compete with the big guys and occupy a corner of the world...
Zhou Dongsheng could only say: Although defeated, it is still glorious!
If you really can't win at that time, you'll have to cash out all your chips and turn around to be your own boss, whether you want to be an ordinary landlord or buy a cruise ship to travel around the world...
For Zhou Dongsheng today, it is undoubtedly something that is within easy reach, so naturally there is no need to rush to achieve it.
On the contrary, it is something that happens in time, but if I really miss this village, there will be no such store.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he has not forgotten his original intention, right?
As for this transaction, under the premise that one was willing to sell and the other was willing to buy, a consensus was naturally reached at an unexpected speed.
Especially after Li Chaohui asked Brother Ma for instructions, Brother Ma made a prompt decision in order to avoid having long nights and dreams. He even had a direct phone call with Zhou Dongsheng in order to avoid any mistakes.
The two of them had dealt with each other several times, and since it was difficult to find such a willing buyer, Zhou Dongsheng naturally agreed in a good-natured manner.
So there was this scene of Li Chaohui shaking hands with Zhou Dongsheng. It is still unknown whether Tengda made a profit, but Zhou Dongsheng did make a lot of money, so this smile was so sincere that it could be said that there was no moisture at all.
After all, after some friendly negotiations between the two parties, coupled with Zhou Dongsheng's skillful drawing of the cake with emotion and reason, Zhou Dongsheng was quite satisfied with the final transaction price of the two leading companies being packaged and sold.
A total of 600 million US dollars!
Since entering the market at the end of 2015, it has exclusively obtained Series A financing from two shared bicycle companies at a price of US$2 million each, completing the layout of shared bicycles.
In the past year and eight months, Zhou Dongsheng also made full use of the resources at his disposal and became one of the driving forces behind pushing Mobike onto the stage.
From no one paying attention to the A round, to the hot demand of the E round now, it has become a well-deserved leader in the shared bicycle industry, and it is also the darling of the times with bright stars in the trend of the times.
Finally, after raising these two pigs in the limelight until they are fat and white, it’s time to take action!
Although the initial cost of entering the market and establishing a position was US$4 million, Zhou Dongsheng also invested a lot of resources and efforts over a year and a half, and the cost of this part is obviously difficult to estimate.
Even so, this transaction still made Zhou Dongsheng a lot of money. The most important thing is to successfully get out of the shared bicycle industry.
Before the industry finally fell to pieces, Zhou Dongsheng was undoubtedly more happy with the feeling of making profits and leaving the market in advance, and starting again with ease.
"I hope this deal is the beginning of our cooperation. To be honest, if Chairman Jay is willing, we at Tengda would be very happy to become one of the shareholders of Dongsheng Group, and we will never interfere in the group's operations without authorization..."
"The most important thing is that we can also carry out more in-depth cooperation on projects such as "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"." Li Chaohui said earnestly.
To be honest, for Tenda, who is accustomed to dominating the domestic Internet industry by relying on the combination of social networking and games, the emergence of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is really beyond their expectations.
For this reason, Tenda is extremely greedy. After all, no one knows how to make money from games better than them. If such a hot and phenomenal IP falls into their hands...
It will definitely be able to squeeze out more considerable profits, especially in the mobile game market!
"Absolutely, if there is a chance, I think no one will refuse the opportunity to cooperate with Tenda, and I am certainly no exception..." Zhou Dongsheng said sincerely with a bright smile on his face.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Whether it is Pinxixi, Douyin, or the current Mobike, Zhou Dongsheng has cooperated with Tenda many times.
It's just that one code equals another, and cooperation is the price of cooperation. After all, we are all in the same boat. With common interests, it is easy to negotiate and discuss. It is good for everyone to make the cake bigger together.
But cash cows like games are ready-made cakes, and if you want a piece of the cake, it's a different price.
What's more, the further development of the IP of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and the process of mobile gaming are already in full swing. Regardless of whether it is a pig factory or Mihayo, there is no doubt that it is possible to hand over a share of the concession.
The market is satisfied with the answer.
As for cooperation with Tenda... ideally, it might be possible to achieve the catfish effect, but in most cases, Tenda will become a scavenger-like role.
Ahem, so it is best to use it with caution unless necessary. As a player who has suffered a lot, Zhou Dongsheng feels the same way about this.
…
The next day.
As the dust of this deal settled, there was no airtight wall in the world, and the relevant news naturally spread like wildfire. With the help of the shared bicycle industry, it suddenly spread within the industry.
"Dongsheng Investment withdrew from the shared bicycle industry and sold off all its shares in the two leading companies. Tenda took over at a price of over US$600 million!"
“Another textbook-level investment by the youngest billionaire, making a huge profit of US$600 million, adding to his net worth!”
"Zhou Dongsheng's most successful investment? Let me reveal the many investments behind the youngest billionaire..."
Today, Zhou Dongsheng has become another traffic password on the Internet. Once there is any disturbance, countless marketing accounts will swarm in instantly to share this traffic feast.
And the topics surrounding Zhou Dongsheng are endless. In addition, Zhou Dongsheng is either causing trouble or on his way to make trouble. For the melon-eaters who are watching the excitement and don't mind the trouble, it is even more satisfying.
.
In particular, Zhou Dongsheng also likes high-intensity surfing on the Internet. From time to time, he will appear in some topics, make himself angry, and occasionally give a little shock to the crowd. He is a typical example of generosity and generosity.
How can people not love such a sensible melon shed?
For a time, many fans gathered around Zhou Dongsheng and improvised many new memes, which continued to increase the popularity of the "Zhou Dongsheng" IP.
""Zhou Dongsheng's Boring Life" has new material, please update online, please update soon!"
"My husband is not doing his job anymore, so he just has fun as a side job, and his main job is to be an Internet celebrity!"
"I can't wait to hear that boring music. If I don't watch it for a day, I feel like there are ants crawling all over my body!"
"I made a casual investment and made $600 million. Well, the life of a rich person is so simple and boring..."
Zhou Dongsheng happily scrolled through the comments made by netizens who made fun of them, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly. Sometimes, he could catch a flash of creativity from the improvisations of netizens.
For example, the improvisations in several previous issues of "Zhou Dongsheng's Boring Life" were based on responses to netizens' comments, and it must be said that the results have been remarkable.
However, after all, Zhou Dongsheng is not an Internet celebrity who needs to rely on popularity and works to make a living, so whether to update or not depends entirely on personal preference. Netizens have nothing to do about this and can only remind online updates from time to time.
Over time, it became popular and became Zhou Dongsheng's personal characteristic in the comment area. Netizens enjoyed it even more, and even urged them to post more.
When he saw the rise, Zhou Dongsheng was a little embarrassed. How about an impromptu update to meet the needs of the general public?
Zhou Dongsheng touched his chin and pondered for a moment, but what should be updated? If earning 600 million US dollars was regarded as a "small goal"...
The effect of the show is absolutely explosive!
Especially combined with the recent difficulties faced by Yida, this wave is definitely full of topics and traffic. But if you lose it and get yourself involved, it will not be worth it.
This dangerous thought flashed through Zhou Dongsheng's mind. Zhou Dongsheng quickly put it behind him and thought to himself: It's my fault, I've only made 600 million dollars, how come it's floating?
However, someone gave him a pillow when he fell asleep. Before Zhou Dongsheng could finish reflecting, a phone call interrupted his thoughts.
"Dr. Jay, you're fine!" Master Wu's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"Why did Director Wu think of coming to see me? The movie will be released soon. You are a very busy man now!" Zhou Dongsheng joked with a smile.
"To be honest, it's just because of the movie, which is about to be released. In order to make the movie have a good start and prevent the box office performance from being too bad, I am going to arrange a few road shows to give the movie a good warm-up..."
"The most important thing is that Director Jay risked his life for this movie and made a gamble of 1.5 billion at the box office. I still remember this favor. No matter what, I can't let you suffer a loss, Director Jay?"
"If the box office doesn't reach the box office, I'll have to pay whatever you want with the money!" Master Wu was particularly open-minded, and his speech after reading "Pattern" and "Emotional Intelligence" was quite accurate.
"As you say, is it possible that Director Wu, as a director, still has no confidence in his own work? Believe me, we can't afford this money. This is Director Wu's chance to become famous!"
Now that it's time, Zhou Dongsheng naturally doesn't need to hide him.
"I'm borrowing words from Jay Chou, but Jay Chou has a guest role as a main character, so how about you participate in this road show? You can do it in the magic city of Yangcheng or Beijing. It's up to you to choose. With you attending, the effect will definitely be better!"
Master Wu Tuqiong saw him and explained his purpose of coming. He also wanted to ride on Zhou Dongsheng's popularity.
At the same time, Master Wu couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had used the "traffic password" correctly. Originally, he was planning to find a young actor to replace this role.
After all, in such a movie with a male protagonist, the others are just icing on the cake and supporting roles, just to highlight the existence of the protagonist. For this reason, there is no need to spend a lot of time in casting, and it can be saved in order to save the budget.
I just didn't expect that time has changed and Zhou Dongsheng's cameo is already worth thousands of dollars!
With Zhou Dongsheng's current fame, purely from the perspective of film and television, the traffic bonus brought by ordinary top streams is definitely no less than that of ordinary top streams, or even worse.
After all, there are always top-notch restaurants, but someone like Zhou Dongsheng is the only one with no branches.
"It's easy to say. After all, this movie is not only my screen debut, but also the first movie I invested in. It is of great significance, so I should attend. It just so happened that I just settled a business recently, and everything is fine.
Listen to Director Wu’s arrangements!”
Zhou Dongsheng said calmly, but the speaker had no intention of listening but the listener had intentions. Master Wu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this.
600 million U.S. dollars, which is an astronomical figure of more than 4 billion yuan. It would be great if my movie box office had this much...
Thinking of this, Master Wu couldn't help but shook his head and put this unrealistic idea behind him. With a box office of 4 billion, it would directly surpass Mermaid and become the champion of China's box office list.
How can this kind of thing be so easy? Let's first find a way to solve the 1.5 billion box office gamble before talking about it.
