Age of Dreams

Vol 2 Chapter 1175: Discriminate against foreign companies?

Yes it is.

   has changed from a buyout to a cooperation.

   Xiao Qi would naturally not tell them that Weibo only took up 20 shares, and the majority shareholder was still his fairy wife.

   Since the fairy wife has pushed the matter on him, he should naturally handle it.

  Thinking about the past, Xiao Qi said loudly: "Mr. Cowell, you are buyers. If you have any plans, please let me know. If the conditions are right, you can talk about it."

   This is the advantage of being strong.

During the negotiations, there is no doubt that whoever speaks first will fall to a certain degree, but Xiao Qi has the capital to ask Cowell to do so, relying on his feat of cashing back 40 billion US dollars in cash. Also have this qualification.

   Before the signal came, Cowell had already considered this situation, and seeing Xiao Qi really didn't take his compliments, and he didn't feel embarrassed by directly letting him show his chips.

"That's it." Cowell said eloquently: "We have heard before that Weibo Company sold the right to use mainland China to the four major portals. But it seems to be for Baodao, Hong Kong and Macau. No copyright is sold in other countries in the Chinese region of Southeast Asia. So we think that by joining forces with Weibo, we can definitely make Weibo a better platform."

   Xiao Qi nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Cowell said: "In the beginning, we have two plans. The first is for Weibo to invest in technology. Together we will build a Weibo platform in Greater China, mainly in traditional Chinese. This platform It will include Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and other regions with many Chinese as a separate operation. The second is that if the fairy company finds it troublesome, it can also consider the same way as the mainland, with a three-year The price is sold to us exclusively."

   Speaking of this, Cowell stopped, but Xiao Qi waved his hand, still beckoning him to continue.

   This kind of silent opponent is the most difficult to deal with, because he doesn't express his opinion at all, but keeps listening to your cards, which can easily cause inequity.

   But still the same sentence, Cowell has nothing to do. Xiao Qi has an absolute advantage, and it's not enough if he doesn't subdue.

   He was thinking about it. The reason why the chairman was unwilling to come over and talk in person was probably because he didn't want to be led by Xiao Qi.

After a moment of silence, he finally said a price: "The first type of shareholding is willing to give 20 shares of the new company and promise that if it goes public, if Weibo intends to sell this part of the shares, it promises not to be less than Repurchase at a price of $1 billion. The second type of buyout is for a period of time. We are prepared to give $50 million a year, and your personnel, equipment, bandwidth, etc. will not be used, but the period should not be less than 5 years."

   "Although the first type is fine, if the second type is used, there is no problem with the five-year period, but I hope to get 100 million US dollars a year in use." Xiao Qi replied indifferently.

   The financial crisis is coming soon, and a new winter will come.

   In the next few years, their market value will rapidly decline and shrink by more than 80, to only about 12.7 billion U.S. dollars at the lowest point. In such a miserable operating environment, where is the desperate person thinking about listing this joint venture company?

   What's more, the strongest woman who takes her out of the quagmire in the future is best at selling property.

   Maybe the joint venture company will be sold at a low price by her. What's the use of 20 shares in a dismal company?

   is the second method of cooperation. It can also take advantage of their difficulties and directly take back the already mature Weibo market.

   "100 million US dollars?" Cowell exaggeratedly opened his mouth: "Mr. Xiao, I haven't heard of it? The price you give to the four major portals is only 200 million a year for each company!"

   "You also know that there are four companies, don't they add up to more than 100 million US dollars? You still make a lot of money." Xiao Qi said earnestly.

Cowell was dumbfounded, "However, in the entire Greater China market outside, the audience population of Traditional Chinese is only about 200 million. Compared with China’s population of about 1.5 billion, don’t you think that our 50 million US dollars is already Is it sincere?"

"Don't just talk about population, Mr. Cowell." Xiao Qi looked at him, "Why don't you talk about income and education? People from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, 40-60-year-old adults, not only education The level is very high, and the ability to accept new things far exceeds that of mainland China. Here, only young people between the ages of 20 and 30 like Weibo! The number of people is almost the same!"

   Cowell was speechless.

   is indeed the case.

   For example, in Hong Kong, 50-year-old middle-aged people are also interested in playing Weibo, but most of the 50-year-old middle-aged people in China don’t even know what the Internet is. How to use it?

   And the income levels of the two regions are indeed different. With the same number of users, there is no doubt that the so-called Greater China region will definitely win.

In fact, Yang Zhiyuan and his team also considered this. They set a price of no more than 80 million U.S. dollars, but it was unexpected that Xiao Qi would dare to ask for 100 million ~ www.readwn.com~ Does he really think everyone is like this? Like him, is the money so much like the wind blowing it?

"Mr. Xiao, your price is really beyond our imagination." Cowell said embarrassedly: "According to our calculations, Weibo's right to use the company in mainland China will be sold in a year. There is a loss. In order to cultivate the market, you would rather lose money in three years. We do not use your resources, but just give you a fee for use. Why are we being charged a high price?"

   Europeans and Americans sometimes speak too straightforwardly.

   Now he is equivalent to asking by name and surname, do you treat customers differently? Do you think I am a fool?

  It is like a question from Cowell. When a Chinese person comes, he will never say that. At most, he will bargain directly. However, I regret to say that I will cooperate next time.

  Because business is not in favor of people, this time it’s impossible to say that next time there is still a chance, but if you offend the business talker, it is very likely that there will be no second time.

Cowell, who has lived in Japan for seven or eight years, is not an idiot, but he understands that in the face of a strong figure like Xiao Qi, it is useless to give in blindly. Only by straightforwardly presenting his own demands can he have that point. Opportunity for success.

   As for the problem of offending Xiao Qi, he was not afraid, anyway, if it was really serious, Yang Zhiyuan would come to apologize personally afterwards.
