Chapter 226: Sell at a price
All in all, it is impossible to sell a house, you can only continue to build a house, and only by persevering in the house can you live a stable and prosperous life.
However, Lin Weidong also knows very well that if he fails to raise 1 million yuan of registered capital within two weeks, all the previous efforts of Century Chinese Network will definitely be ruined.
At this time, Lin Weidong remembered a person, this person was the founder of the banyan tree, William Zhu, who wanted to cooperate with William Zhu and lobbied him to invest in Century Chinese.
Because not long ago, Banyan Tree has been acquired by Bertelsmann Group, the world's largest publishing and media group, for $10 million.
It is conceivable that after William Zhu sold Banyan Shuxia to Bertelsmann Group, his net worth must be quite abundant.
The reason why Bertelsmann acquired Banyan Tree is to expand book sales with the help of Banyan Tree's user resources.
As before, William Chu lives in a luxurious villa, which is still rented.
It's not that William Zhu can't afford this villa, he just feels that there is no need to buy a house, he is not short of money, only he is willing, he can live in any villa area in Shanghai.
However, Lin Weidong has always been unable to understand William Zhu's thoughts, he feels that as a Chinese, only if he is rich, he should sell his house, not to mention William Zhu, even if Li Ka-shing is so rich.
In the living room of William Zhu's house, two Chinese ink paintings are hung.
After Lin Weidong arrived, he skillfully used Chinese tea utensils to make and pour tea.
Probably because he has been in Shanghai for too long, William Zhu's Chinese is very standard, and sometimes he can come up with a sentence or two of authentic Shanghainese.
After William Zhu poured Lin Weidong a cup of tea, he asked Lin Weidong: "How is the website you run?
"I heard Anne say a while ago that your website is so impressive, you dare to surpass us under the banyan tree?"
Lin Weidong said modestly: "It's okay, it's definitely not comparable to under the banyan tree, but since this month, we have implemented the VIP system to the outside world." ”
William Zhu took a sip of tea and asked with interest, "Is it?
Lin Weidong looked left and right at him: "Our company has started to charge, but ......"
Looking at Lin Weidong's look of wanting to speak and stopping, William Zhu asked with a smile: "But what, if you have something to say, you can say it directly." ”
Lin Weidong thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Zhu, have you heard of Icp?"
William Zhu said: "Of course I've heard that we didn't need to apply for an ICP certificate at the beginning, but then I didn't ask Anne to get an e-magazine, so I spent 1 million to register a certificate." ”
Without waiting for Lin Weidong to answer, William Zhu then asked: "Did you engage in VIP before you thought of applying for an ICP certificate?"
Lin Weidong said calmly: "Well, yes, this is the situation, so I came this time to ask Mr. Zhu for help, I hope you can give us a little help from the Chinese network, only the VIP system can be maintained, our company will definitely be able to achieve profitability......"
After listening to Lin Weidong's words, William Zhu pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Lonely City, my original ideal of creating under the banyan tree was to open up a position, let ordinary people hold the pen, gather people's strength, not make much money. ”
Under the support of such a belief, William Zhu once asked the website not to accept advertisements as much as possible, and now thinking back on this behavior, William Zhu sighed: "If I could have received more advertisements at that time, I might be able to earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a month." ”
Moreover, William Zhu also once made a bold statement: "Give 1 million yuan to the banyan tree every year", but later found that the expenditure far exceeded the plan, and he needed to come up with millions of yuan every month.
Because of the creation of the banyan tree, William Zhu has lived very tired in recent years, and often worries about money, he knows that it is not easy to run a literary website, and burning money is endless.
Obviously, before the payment system was perfected, William Zhu was not optimistic about the future development of Century Chinese Network, in his opinion, the current Century Chinese Network was not as good as the peak of the banyan tree.
Although William Zhu did not refuse Lin Weidong's request, his meaning was already very clear, and he didn't want to lie in troubled waters anymore.
And Lin Weidong didn't want to fool William Zhu, because Lin Weidong himself didn't know when Century Chinese would be profitable.
After leaving William Zhu's villa, Lin Weidong took a taxi directly to Liu Limin's apartment.
Looking at Lin Weidong, who was at a loss, Liu Limin didn't know what to say, just snuggled quietly beside him.
Lin Weidong is a little distressed, and now he has two choices in front of him, one is to sell the house or mortgage the real estate loan, and the other is to continue to find someone to cooperate with the investment.
In general, Lin Weidong is more inclined to find someone to work with.
If neither of these works works, Lin Weidong can only sell the few golden songs he has left.
Liu Limin saw that it was getting dark, so she asked Lin Weidong: "Are you hungry?" ”
Lin Weidong rubbed her two big breasts and instructed: "Just cook a little food, I'm not in the mood." ”
Liu Limin raised her head, glanced at Lin Weidong, and said angrily and shyly: "I'm not in the mood, you still move your hands and feet, I hate it." ”
Lin Weidong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What do you know, I'm happy in my misery." ”
After Liu Limin went to the kitchen, Lin Weidong put away his smile and silently lit a cigarette.
At this moment, Huang Fei made a phone call, and on the phone, Huang Fei asked him how he was doing recently and if he had any new songs.
Of course, Huang Fei's call to him was mainly to ask him if he had any new songs, and the greeting was secondary.
Lin Weidong said calmly: "Yes, yes, but there is no song suitable for you to sing." ”
Huang Fei smiled and said, "It's okay, it wasn't me looking for you in the first place." ”
Lin Weidong asked curiously: "Sister Fei, it's not you looking for me, then who is looking for me?"
"A friend of mine in Xiangjiang ......," Huang Fei on the other end of the phone said mysteriously.
Lin Weidong didn't think about it, so he blurted out and asked, "Sister Fei, it won't be Nicholas Tse, right?"
Huang Fei smiled and said, "You guessed it, it's him." ”
Lin Weidong asked puzzledly, "Nicholas Tse...... Didn't I just write a song "Yellow Race" for him two months ago?"
Huang Fei Zhengse said: "He is preparing a new album recently, and he is missing a work that satisfies him, so he wants to invite you to sing." ”
"I'll give him your phone number so you two can have a good talk. ”
Not long after hanging up Huang Fei's phone, Lin Weidong received another call, which was the phone number from Xiangjiang.
"Hello Mr. Lin, I'm Nicholas Tse. ”
In the face of Nicholas Tse's cordial greetings, Lin Weidong didn't feel much about it, and he didn't feel anything unusual.
Because after coming into contact with Huang Fei Naying, Lin Weidong no longer has much feeling for the so-called stars, after removing the halo of stars, in fact, they are also ordinary people in private, and compared with most women in the world, they are no different.
However, Lin Weidong also has to admit that Nicholas Tse's Mandarin is much stronger than most Xiangjiang people.
"Mr. Lin, I like your book "Yellow Race" very much, it is very well written. ”
"Thank you. ”
"Do you have any other new songs? Our company wants to work with you. ”
"Yes, yes, but ......" Lin Weidong stopped when he wanted to speak.
Nicholas Tse hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, the price is not a problem, as long as the song is good." ”
Lin Weidong nodded and said, "Well, if you are interested, come to Shanghai to find me." ”
"Yes, are you free?"
"It's free for both days, if you have time, come and let's meet somewhere. ”
After hanging up Nicholas Tse's phone, Lin Weidong breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, as long as Nicholas Tse was willing to spend money and sell him two songs casually, he would be able to earn four or five hundred thousand.
At this moment, Liu Limin put on an apron, came out of the kitchen, and asked Lin Weidong: "Who did you talk to on the phone just now?"
Lin Weidong smiled and said, "Nicholas Tse." ”
