Back to the hotel, around eight o'clock in the evening.

Zhou Buqi felt that it was still early, and the company's executives should have not finished get off work, so they held a video conference, involving Zhang Yiming, He Yang, Meng Houkun, and Guo Dan.

It mainly talked about enclosing land and building buildings, using investment to stimulate the local economy, and participating in the macro policy issues of the 4 trillion plan.

No way, the situation forced it.

The state apportionment sends money to the outside, as if there are indicators, and it will not work if the money collected is less.

Since you want to build a building, let's build it!

Ziwei Star is now mainly distributed in four cities in China, the capital, Pengcheng, Modu and Chuncheng.There is also UC's headquarters in Yangcheng, and a branch in Hangzhou.

The coverage is indeed a bit small.

Especially for the cloud computing business, we must cast a wide net.According to the estimate given by the Technical Committee, Ziwei Cloud must have at least 5-8 national super data centers in the domestic market, and another 20 or so regional data centers to distribute small cloud The number of data centers should reach 200.

Every data center means a branch office.

Too long-term not considered in advance.

First of all, it is necessary to lay out several important cities in the country, the capital, Shanghai, Jinmen, Pengcheng, Yangcheng, Hangzhou, Yucheng, Jinling, Jiangcheng, Chang'an, Binhai, Spring City, Star City, Island City, Shangdu, Fengtian, etc. land.

Such a large-scale land enclosure plan may be difficult to complete in a short period of time. We can first approve the land and help local officials complete the task of attracting investment.The construction of the building can be planned slowly and slowly, and the layout can be completed within 3-5 years.

Guo Dan, who is in charge of the booth, was buzzing.

She resigned from the system.

At the beginning, I was quite comfortable. The salary was high, the treatment was good, the working environment was relaxed, and there were not so many intrigues and complicated things.Unexpectedly, this workload is big enough.

Currently, Ziweixing's ongoing real estate projects include Capital Headquarters, Pengcheng Headquarters, Capital Cloud Data Center, Pengcheng Cloud Data Center, Spring City Branch Customer Service Building, and Spring City Cloud Data Center, a total of 6 major projects!
This is good, the heavier task has been suppressed.

During the video conference, Zhou Buqi also said: "Guo Dan, you will come over tomorrow. Today I have agreed with the leaders of Hangzhou to participate in the construction of their high-tech development zone... Ali, Hang Seng Electronics The new headquarters are all over there, so let’s go there too. We will build a Ziwei Xing Hangyan Building. On the one hand, we will deepen our cooperation with Ali, and on the other hand, it will also help promote the development of e-commerce and cloud computing businesses in the future.”

He Yang said: "I met with the president of Hang Seng Electronics today."

"Is there a problem?"

"It's nothing more than cooperation. They are engaged in IT finance. They want to cooperate with Toutiao and Weibo, and also include some software development and network security needs. There is no way, and it is difficult for them."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "With Ali around, it's quite difficult."

Hangzhou is not a center of science and technology. Twenty years ago, there was a saying that "beautiful West Lake, dilapidated Hangzhou".The reason why this city occupies a place in the Internet field in China is mainly because of Ali.

The high-achieving students of Zhejiang University are selected first by Ali, and only after Ali falls behind can it be the turn of other companies.There is no way, Hang Seng Electronics can only go to the capital to open a branch, trying to find talents in the capital to do some technical development.It can only be found in other people's homes.

What Hang Seng Electronics does is to complete financial transactions such as securities, futures, and funds through software. This requires a very high level of security, and it must be foolproof.

That is to say, the current stockholders and Christians have not yet awakened, and they are still trading through the bank, paying extremely high fees, and enjoying the services of the bank's "financial management experts".After I understand it and learn to trade through online platforms, the amount of data to be processed will be even greater.

Ziweixing Engineering Institute will provide high-end technology outsourcing services, which can help.

After the meeting, Zhou Buqi looked at the time and went to run on the treadmill. Sun Wanran ran over and said with a smile, "There is good news just now!"

"what?"

"the company's!"

"Don't talk about it, I just finished a meeting with Zhang Yiming and He Yang, and they told me the good news."

"It's from abroad!"

Sun Wanran pinched her waist and wrinkled her nose.

Zhou Buqi jogged while controlling his breath, and said casually, "What's wrong abroad?"

Sun Wanran said quickly, "You want to buy a batch of movie-related websites, and two of them have already been negotiated. It's just a bit expensive, and the price seems to be nearly 5000 million US dollars."

"What website, so expensive?"

"One is Rotten Tomatoes and the other is Flixster."

"Oh, that's not surprising."

The film industry is a bit stronger than the football industry, and the whole model is also very traditional.For example, Rotten Tomatoes and Flixster, one is a movie review website, and the other is a movie social networking site, and they are both profitable!
The combination of these two websites is an enhanced version of Douban, but the profitability of Douban is still far away.

Also because of the profit, it can be sold at a good price.

Sun Guanran then elaborated.

When IGN Entertainment bought Rotten Tomatoes in 04, it spent $1000 million. In 05, News Corporation bought IGN Entertainment for $6.5 million.Now, News Corp. is losing money and wants to sell some poorly managed and poorly performing Internet businesses. Rotten Tomatoes is the worst one.

Priced at $1400 million.

In addition, the Flixster website is also a movie review function. Because it undertakes the online ticket sales business, it can draw commissions from it, so its performance is very good.

Last year, Hollywood tycoon Barry Diller's IAC Group wanted to acquire Flixster, and the other party's offer was $1 million!
It was all negotiated and signed.

But before signing, Barry Diller felt that the price was too expensive and not worth it. He felt that it should not exceed 5000 million US dollars and wanted to lower the price on the spot.This is what Hollywood is best at, using this trick to bully newcomers or foreign actors. Flixster's team felt humiliated and terminated the negotiations.

Unexpectedly, it has only been a year, and even 5000 million US dollars cannot be sold.

What Ziweixing promised here is 500 million US dollars in cash, plus 3000 million US dollars worth of stocks.

Sun Guanran said enthusiastically: "Now the world's largest movie database is IMDB. If Rotten Tomatoes and Flixster are integrated, they will have information on more than 25 movies, 18 billion user reviews, 30 professional movie reviews, and With more than 20000 trailers and video content, it can challenge IMDB’s No. [-] position in the industry.”

"How do you know so well?"

"The information has been sent, I read it. It also said that after the successful integration of the two websites, it is expected that there will be more than 3000 million users per month. If our YikYak is promoted, there will be even more."

"Don't be so excited."

"Why? How wonderful! Didn't you say that you want to establish a movie ecosystem through the Internet!"

"Forget it, I won't run anymore, let's go take a shower and try another way of exercising." Zhou Buqi turned off the treadmill and dragged her to the bathroom.

Sun Guanran gave him a big roll of his eyes, with a bit of reserve on his pretty face, and whispered: "The United States is still waiting, will this deal be approved or not?"

"With such a large amount of money, how can you approve it as soon as you say it?"

Zhou Buqi was also a little helpless.

This is a question of trust.

If it is Zhang Yiming and Guo Pengfei who want to approve a project of 5000 million US dollars, then there is absolutely no problem.As long as the decision-making committee approves, they can spend the money as they like, and they can let it go.

But land vehicles are different.

He cannot have this privilege.

Sun Guanran blinked, as if he had discovered something, and asked curiously, "Don't you trust Lu Qi? He... I think he is quite trustworthy."

Zhou Buqi said: "I also believe that his hands and feet are clean, but we can't give him the illusion. We approved such a large sum of money without even looking at it. It's too indulgent. It's not good for him or the company."

"What should I do?"

"Go and make arrangements. Let's go to Pengcheng tomorrow afternoon. Let's settle Zhen Yu and Pei Yao's Gongdou drama."

"Oh."

Sun Guanran was a little dazed, shook off his hand, and wanted to go back and call to make arrangements.

Zhou Buqi hugged her over immediately, and said angrily, "What are you in a hurry for? Can't tell which is more important? There is no priority! More exercise is good for your physical and mental health!"

Sun Guanran blushed, "I'm going to be bullied to death by you today."

Zhou Buqi said in a difficult way: "Then what should I do? Or... I think the waitresses in this hotel are all very beautiful, you can go and ask, and spend some money to invite them here?"

"Puchi!" Sun Guanran pushed him with a smile, "Aren't you disgusting? Even the waiters want it, their taste is really bad."

Zhou Buqi said sternly: "This is called equality for everyone, you shouldn't discriminate by position."

……

The next day, Zhou Buqi, together with Guo Dan and the reluctant old horse, had a meeting with local officials and talked about the issue of investing in building buildings in the high-tech development zone.

This development zone is the largest investment project in Hangzhou in recent years, with a financial allocation of more than 1500 billion.Among them, 100 billion yuan will be allowed to be used as financial subsidies to attract investment.

In other words, when Ziweixing invests here, it doesn't need to spend a penny at all, and the project can be started by relying on subsidies and loans.Then just create jobs and generate tax revenue for the local area.

Only by planting sycamore trees can the golden phoenix be attracted.

Zhou Buqi has a particularly good impression of the leading cadres in the Yangtze River Delta. It's not that they dare to give money, but that these leading cadres along the coast are sufficiently open-minded.

Have courage, dare to take responsibility, and be able to do things.

If it's in his hometown in the Northeast... It's painful to say, for example, he wants to start a film and television base project in his hometown in the Northeast through the Taizun Real Estate owned by Shi's father-in-law.

As a result, the local leaders all spoke better than they sang, but they didn't pay.It's fine if you don't pay, and Zhou Buqi doesn't care about the little financial subsidies from the government, but at least you have to cooperate seriously, right?

Yesterday Zhou Buqi talked about this matter with the father-in-law of the Shi family. The old father-in-law was very angry and wanted to give up this project.It is even difficult to get a loan. He has been in business in the Yangtze River Delta for [-] years, and officials from all over the country have offered him up as if he were the father of a funder.I went to the Northeast for a trip, shit!He became a grandson directly!Who is helping whom?
Looking at the leading cadres in Hangzhou, this gesture... is really touching.

The leader said that if Ziweixing participates in the investment in the high-tech development zone, it can get a financial subsidy of 5000 million to 2 million yuan according to its investment scale and the number of jobs it will create in the future.

Zhou Buqi was stunned.

With such a large amount of money, the attitude and intensity of attracting investment are really admirable!Under such a general environment, can the Internet industry in Hangzhou fail to develop?
