Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1434 Compromise
Zhou Buqi was really annoyed, "Ziweixing Digital Media? You pay attention to so many things!"

Sun Zhengyi had a strange look on his face, "My information is wrong? Didn't Ziweixing Digital Media intentionally split it up and operate it independently?"

"Well, it is to be split."

"Separation is right. Ziweixing Digital Media is going to do football business, but football represents the European value system, which is very different from American business culture. Just like Ziweixing and Ziweixing International, it is right to separate. Since they are incompatible, there is no need to force them into one piece."

"You are so insightful."

There was a bit of mockery in Zhou Buqi's tone.

It feels bad.

He has already made up his mind that this old fox didn't get fooled into investing in the entertainment industry by himself at all, but wanted to enter the market but deliberately pretended to be fooled.

I really have made every step of the arrangement, just wait for the water to flow, and advance the project process step by step.

Sun Zhengyi also showed his fangs and said: "I was deeply inspired by your concept of combining the Internet and the football industry. I sent two assistants to investigate and the results were very gratifying. The agency business of the official website may Bring more than 5 million pounds of profit to Ziweixing Digital Media."

Zhou Buqi gave a faint "hmm".

Masayoshi Son went on to say: "Combined with other football-related news sites, social networking sites, and data sites, it is estimated that Ziwei Xing Digital Media will be listed on the London Stock Exchange in three or four years, and its market value may reach 150 billion- With 200 billion pounds, it will become the largest Internet giant in Europe. With this relationship, Ziwei Star can take root in Europe and obtain policy treatment far exceeding that of Silicon Valley giants."

Zhou Buqi snorted, "You are really clear about your investigation."

"Your business model is very clearly planned." Sun Zhengyi sighed and couldn't help but sigh, "I have invested in the Internet for more than ten years, and I have also tried my best to find good Internet projects in Europe. I searched and searched, but I couldn't find anything. No. Later, I also resigned to my fate, thinking that Europe is an Internet desert, so I put the main investment direction in the Asia-Pacific region. This time, your layout around football in the European Internet industry is really eye-catching. Give me Lesson learned."

Zhou Buqi said: "You also taught me a lesson."

Sun Zhengyi smiled, pretending not to hear the dissatisfaction in his tone, and said solemnly: "I have been investing for so many years, and you are the genius I have seen who understands the Internet the most. I can give you a quasi-investment now." Xin, as long as it is a project that revolves around the Internet industry, no matter what you do, I will support it! In terms of funding, there will definitely be no difficulties!"

"Is it?"

Zhou Buqi behaved relatively calmly.

Sun Zhengyi went on to say: "However, if Ziweixing Digital Media only does some simple football-related businesses, it would be a waste of resources. The future development direction must still be streaming media. Streaming media will replace TV, so in the near future In the future, live streaming of sports events around the Internet will gradually replace TV stations. If Ziweixing Digital Media engages in live streaming of sports events, it may reach a market value of 1000 billion pounds."

Zhou Buqi was angry and funny.

Very speechless.

Of course he knows this truth.

The point is that he doesn't want to do it.

Streaming media is an emerging industry, and its operation difficulty is comparable to that of e-commerce. Any business mistake may make users dissatisfied and unsubscribe.

Streaming media platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube are a little easier, but even more difficult is the streaming media of live events.

Just like the Premier League.

The copyright of the Premier League is divided according to the region of the world. If you buy the German copyright but not the French copyright, you can only open the Premier League broadcast service to the German region on the streaming media platform, but you cannot provide related services to French users.This is obviously not in line with the nature of the Internet.

Sun Zhengyi then promised benefits, "If Ziweixing Digital Media is spun off, I suggest you to be the chairman and CEO, and give 10% of the management shares."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "It's not about the number of stocks!"

"what is that?"

"I'm lazy, okay?"

"Uh……"

This time, it was Sun Zhengyi's turn to be speechless.

He also thought that the difference between himself and Zhou Buqi was due to the strategic concept, so he was earnest, but he didn't expect that it was because this kid lacked entrepreneurial passion and didn't want to work hard anymore.

Sun Zhengyi felt that he should persuade him a few words, and said tactfully: "Zhou, you are a rare entrepreneurial genius that I have never seen before. You...you are still young, and I think you can have higher achievements. Yachts, mansions , champagne, beauty, art, these are life, it is important, but I think a larger purpose in life will make your life more meaningful."

"What?"

Zhou Buqi felt that the old boy was a bit baffled.

Masayoshi Son said very seriously: "When Softbank went public, my wealth exceeded 2 million US dollars. At that time, I was also a little bit ecstatic. At the time, I had more than 30 girlfriends, but after a long time, this kind of spirit Pursuits outside the realm will become more and more pale and insensitive. It is still more passionate and challenging to do business and invest, and to realize personal value.”

This old boy was also the richest man in the world, and his wealth would never be spent in several lifetimes.

But he still insists on working more than ten hours a day, so there must be some factors other than money affecting him.Just like Jobs, his personal wealth is mainly Disney stocks, but he works at Apple, almost for free, and even willing to dedicate his life to Apple, and is still designing a blueprint for Apple's future before he dies.

Of course Zhou Buqi can understand this level of spiritual realm, and waved his hands, "It has nothing to do with personal life, it's two different things, I'm not a scumbag, I can't do such a thing as dating dozens of girlfriends at the same time."

Zhen Yu and Xue Baoshan next to each other didn't talk much, they just looked at each other briefly.

Then he bowed his head and calculated silently.

Ah!
It seems that there are not so many!

Son asked: "What is the reason?"

Zhou Buqi said: "People's energy is limited. If I go to the field to do business in person... the business of streaming media is very complicated, especially the streaming media of live sports. It is a matter of process and technology. I won't say much more. What I will say is that if I devote all my energy to these trivial matters, I will definitely pay less attention to other areas."

"Other fields?"

"I think I can do more."

"of course."

"It's not just the Internet."

"Uh……"

Sun Zhengyi twitched the corners of his mouth.

Zhou Buqi said: "We are the same in concept, the difference lies in the operation of the business. It is no problem for me to reorganize and integrate Ziwei Star Global. It is impossible for me to personally lead the team to be a streaming media platform." .With the same time and energy, if I do other things, I am confident that I can do better."

"Is there no solution?"

Sun Zhengyi frowned slightly.

If Ziweixing Global does not develop a streaming media platform, then Softbank’s return on investment in this project will be greatly reduced.If Ziweixing Digital Media does not become a streaming media platform, it can only be a small Internet giant at best, and it will be difficult to reach a market value of 1000 billion pounds.

If it is a 100 billion pound Internet company related to the football industry, it is the pride of Britain.If it is an Internet company worth 1000 billion pounds, it will be the pride of the whole of Europe. It is a green field planted in the desert.

With this relationship, whether it is Ziwei Star or Softbank, their business in Europe will receive extremely high preferential treatment.

Zhou Buqi had a certain compromise, "The solution is not without, two conditions."

"No problem, just mention it!"

"Number one, you already mentioned it, Hulu."

"That's right!"

Masayoshi Son is delighted.

Zhou Buqi said: "Help me recruit Hulu's entrepreneurial team, Ziweixing Global can also be a streaming media platform of its own!"

Sun Zhengyi was even happier when he saw his self-confidence, orderly and unwavering words, "No problem, I will definitely help you with this matter! What about the second condition?"

Zhou Buqi asked, "I heard you bought a new yacht?"

"what?"

Sun Zhengyi was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Buqi said thick-skinned: "Let me use it for a while, it will be summer soon, and I plan to take my family out to sea for vacation and relax."

Sun Zhengyi was speechless, with a depressed expression, "Why don't you buy it yourself?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I ordered one in Germany, and it will not be launched until the next year. I will borrow your use first, don't worry, I will pay the rent."

In Europe and the United States, private yachts have to pay a fixed asset tax every year, which may be as high as 5%.For a $2 million yacht, the annual property tax is $1000 million.

There is a very simple way to circumvent that, which is to register a yacht charter company and list private yachts for lease.The yacht owner then spends an appropriate rent from the leasing company to rent the yacht for use.The sum of the annual expenses of the crew, maintenance fees, docking fees, etc. is the total annual yacht rental.

In this way, the yacht charter company will not generate profits on its books and will not have to pay taxes.

One side of Sun Zhengyi's face was numb, "Many rich people are now selling planes, real estate and yachts to withdraw funds. You can buy one and use it first."

Zhou Buqi shook his head repeatedly, "They are all second-hand, I am not interested, isn't your yacht newly launched?"

"Ha ha."

Sun Zhengyi smiled bluntly, thinking that this kid is very fucked up.

"How is it? Promise or not?" Zhou Buqi laughed.

"Take it!" Sun Zhengyi waved his hand and decisively chose to compromise, "Give me back when you don't need it."

Zhou Buqi's mood immediately became more comfortable.

Ah!
This is okay!
Finally got some benefits from this old boy!
His yacht was a huge success when Ali was listed in Hong Kong in 07. The gift he gave himself cost as much as 1.2 million US dollars.It was launched from the Dutch shipyard this month, and it is still sailing on the sea and has not circled to Los Angeles.

Before enjoying this, he was cut off halfway by Zhou Buqi.

So bullying!
