They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 224: More than 600 million yuan of investment, [-] billion yuan of income

On the other end of the phone, Xiang Zixin's reporting voice was intermittent.

Huo Mingjie rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and said:

"Okay, I know the general situation...Hey, I said I know it!"

The crew is now filming in the desert, and in these days, one can imagine whether the communication signal here is good or not.

That is to say, the crew is not too far away from the city, otherwise they may not even be able to receive this call.

While answering the phone, Huo Mingjie found a sand dune to stand on, and continued:

"If the price is right, just sell it. I shouldn't be able to capture the greater benefits!"

As a foreigner with no foundation, he really thought that he could prosper outside with just this foresight?
Don't be ridiculous, I'm afraid you'll be eaten alive soon!

On the other end of the phone, Xiang Zixin continued to ask:

"YouTube's plan is to cash out some of the money and then exchange Google's equity."

Hearing this, Huo Mingjie raised his eyebrows and said:

"I'm afraid it's not easy to agree to this condition!"

In more than ten years, Google's market value will exceed one trillion U.S. dollars, and at its peak, it was close to two trillion U.S. dollars.

Although Huo Mingjie doesn't understand these market value growth situations, he only knows how powerful Google will be more than ten years later.Now that I have obtained their shares, even if I leave them there and ignore them, I will still make a profit without losing money.

It's just that those people on the other side of the ocean are not stupid, and they can't give up such a good thing so easily!
"Hurley has convinced the company's management team to make progress and retreat together. Google has concerns and is also a little anxious because many companies are now eyeing YouTube."

"So this problem shouldn't be big. The only remaining problem is how many shares can be obtained."

"In order to increase the bargaining chip, Hurley has even begun to contact us, hoping that you, boss, will officially join the company management and start negotiations based on the mainland market."

Huo Mingjie originally did not hold as many shares as he does now.

When the Series A investment was made, the reason why the founders of YouTube were willing to give up part of their shares again was because of Huo Mingjie's influence on the mainland Internet.

The second most viewed video on YouTube has less than 2000 million views.However, Huo Mingjie's sword dance video has directly reached 3000 million views, which is almost a cliff-like influence.

Because of Huo Mingjie’s traffic and the platform’s attractiveness, visits from mainland IPs now account for almost a quarter of daily visits, prompting YouTube to proactively add a Chinese port.

As the number of users increases, the number of video creators will naturally increase.

This year on the mainland, there are two Yanjing college students who rely on lip-syncing and exaggerated expressions to perform some classic songs, which have been played more than 300 million times and are equally popular on the Internet.

The huge number of potential users and the existence of a large number of potential outstanding video creators are the value of the mainland market. Whether it is YouTube or Google, there is no one who is not greedy!
Now that they want to increase their bargaining chips in negotiations with Google, they naturally want to rope in Huo Mingjie.

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he couldn't help but curled his lips and said:
"We can negotiate. We don't insist on how many shares to exchange. If you can get more, just take it. But if it involves a gambling agreement or something like that, then don't agree to it." Anyway, it won't be long before YouTube is blocked.

Anyone who has used magic to surf the Internet knows that there are too many pornographic, violent and bloody things out there.Not to mention, the other side of the ocean always likes to engage in public opinion wars.

So Huo Mingjie’s intention from the beginning was just to catch a ride and make some money. Anyway, he didn’t really want to help YouTube enter the mainland.

It's the same now, just pretend to talk and buy some shares for free.

But if there is some kind of gambling agreement that stipulates the number of mainland users, he won't bother to deal with it. He might as well just take the money and leave.

Xiang Zixin asked again and understood his boss's thoughts. He immediately hung up the phone with confidence and hurriedly contacted the other side of the ocean.

Huo Mingjie put away his phone and was about to turn around when the phone rang again.

As soon as I connected it and put it to my ear, I heard the excited voice of my cheap nephew Huo Chengyin panting from the other end:
"Hahaha, uncle, have you received the news? A foreigner wants to acquire the website you invested in before. Our ancestral graves are no longer smoking, they are on fire!"

Looking at this posture, Huo Chengyin must have been on the phone just now in order to announce the good news, which is why he was connected as soon as he hung up.

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said jokingly:

"If you say this, I'm afraid the old man won't be happy if he finds out!"

"Well, isn't this happy... If the old man knew that we made hundreds of millions from our investment, he would definitely be happy too!"

Although negotiations on the other side of the ocean have just begun, the specific price has not yet been determined.But now YouTube, with its own platform and users, has a conservative valuation of US$20 billion.

According to Huo Mingjie's shares, all the shares would cost at least more than 1 million US dollars.

More than 600 million soft girl coins were converted into more than 1 million US dollars in just one year, nearly one billion soft girl coins.This is the Internet industry with unlimited opportunities these days. Otherwise, where would the investment income of more than 100 times come from?
Speaking of this, Huo Chengyin's tone became even more excited, even a little arrogant:
"Young man, let's form our own bureau and be the boss from now on. When I drink from now on, I can't drink if I don't want to. I can drink if I want to. I can go to social gatherings if I want to. It doesn't matter if I don't think about the King of Heaven coming..."

"Well, I want to take over all the land in my hometown and plant trees on it to make the old man happy!"

The two uncles and nephews have come a long way, and it has only been in the past six months that things have become a little better.

When he was just starting out, in order to find a decent role for Huo Mingjie, he once drank and vomited at the wine table for several days in a row and almost ended up in the hospital.Faced with the difficulties of some people, we can only choose to compromise and do our best...

When Huo Mingjie heard this, a smile appeared between his eyebrows, and he deliberately said in a lecturing tone:
"This is just the beginning. From now on, keep your focus and don't act like you haven't seen the world before!"

Although the acquisition has not been completely finalized, for Huo Mingjie, who is already planning to take the money to leave, it makes no difference whether the acquisition can be completed or not.

After all, YouTube is just a hot topic right now, and there are countless organizations that are keeping an eye on it.As long as he wants, he can take the money and leave!

Huo Chengyin was obviously a little excited at this time. He chatted with Huo Mingjie for a long time and was still very excited when he hung up the phone.

Huo Mingjie hung up the phone, stood on the sand dune and let out a breath, unable to hide the smile on his face...
