Chapter 31 The sky-high price is to sit on the ground and pay back
"Two hundred thousand?" Zhao Shanhe repeated.
"Yes, 200,000 a year, the best location," Ma continued.
Zhao Shanhe snorted coldly in his heart, 200,000 a year, less than 17,000 a month.
Not to mention the best location, even if it is an ordinary advertising space, Zhao Shanhe will not agree.
Zhao Shanhe is not very willing to advertise on hao123 to make a profit, not to mention that Ma Huateng wants to take the best position for 200,000 yuan, it is simply a toad who wants to eat swan meat.
If it were 200,000 a year, Zhao Shanhe would definitely agree to come down.
Two million and four hundred thousand is not a lifesaver for the current Zhao Shanhe, but at least he does not need to worry about the funds for the next period of time.
When the game site is launched, it will definitely require a large amount of money.
The server requirements of the game website can be much more expensive than the ordinary server of hao123.
Coupled with a series of maintenance expenses, Zhao Shanhe is now in urgent need of a capital injection.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ma, the offer of 200,000 a year is not enough to get the best advertising position of hao123. I'm not going to put too many ads on hao123, which will have a big impact on the aesthetics of our website's interface. Zhao Shanhe thought about it and tried his best to explain to Ma Huateng in a very sincere tone.
Rejection is definitely a rejection, but you can't talk about it all at once.
If the words are dead, then there is no need to talk about it.
The price is sky-high, and the money is paid back on the ground.
Although it is not Zhao Shanhe's sky-high asking price now, the business is negotiated step by step.
In a word, if you die, unless you have enough support, otherwise a stupid bird will be like this.
Zhao Shanhe lacks funds, and he doesn't know how high Ma Huateng's intention is to advertise on hao123, so he naturally won't do stupid things.
If Zhao Shanhe now knew that Ma Huateng must advertise on hao123, then Zhao Shanhe would definitely add his own offer while saying those words.
Ma Huateng, who was also sitting in his office, couldn't help but rub his forehead.
He just made a tentative inquiry, and wanted to wait for Zhao Shanhe's quotation to come out, so that he could negotiate according to Zhao Shanhe's quotation.
Advertising on hao123 is not mandatory for TX.
But Ma Huateng knew that he didn't have much choice other than hao123.
Now there are only a few domestic Internet companies that have enough traffic and are suitable for promoting penguins. Ma Huateng investigated, hao123 is the most suitable.
It stands to reason that it is possible to cooperate with Sina, Sohu and NetEase, but Ma Huateng has a plan in his heart, and he knows very well that cooperation with these three companies can only be short-lived, not long-term at all.
Both of them are testing each other, and now it's up to them to see who can't stand it.
After thinking for a long time, Ma Huateng said: "Then Mr. Zhao, the best advertising space in hao123, how much does it cost to advertise in a year?"
Ma Huateng decided not to drag it down with Zhao Shanhe.
He has a lot of things to deal with every day, and he doesn't have so much time to waste with Zhao Shanhe.
Since you know that the other party is not a character to bully, then there is no need to waste time, it is better to get straight to the topic.
"200,000 a month, 2.4 million a year!" Zhao Shanhe quoted according to the price he had in mind.
In Zhao Shanhe's heart, hao123's best advertising space is definitely worth this price.
Ma Huateng, who was sitting in his office, immediately jumped up and exclaimed, "Impossible!"
The advertising cost of 2.4 million yuan a year is simply sky-high when the profit path of the entire Internet industry is not very clear.
At present, the entire domestic Internet enterprises are plaguing their own profit models.
The domestic Internet has started to develop until now, and it has not been ten years since it was full.
Everyone is following the model of foreign Internet companies, but the national conditions are different, and not all foreign profit models are suitable for domestic ones.
TX raised a total of $4.4 million last year, and now there is not much left.
Now TX is still burning money and has no input.
If it is before TX has no financing, how to spend it, then how to spend it.
But now that there is financing in it, and suddenly paying a large amount of advertising fees, Ma Huateng really doesn't know how to explain to investors.
After all, instead of buying servers and equipment, it is difficult for Ma Huateng to find a suitable reason to face the accountability of investors when the number of users is growing explosively, and spending a large amount of advertising money to continue to stimulate the growth rate of users.
Although most Internet companies feel that they have to rely on advertising if they want to make a profit, there is really no one like Zhao Shanhe who wants 2.4 million yuan a year.
Now is the cold winter of the Internet industry, not the golden age of Internet development.
Zhao Shanhe naturally heard the shock in Ma Huateng's tone, but he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with his words.
According to the market of later generations, this kind of price is very cheap and cheap.
"Mr. Zhao, this price is impossible for anyone to accept. It's a waste of time for us to try and try. Let's be cheerful, you quote a reserve price, I can accept it, then let's continue to talk. I can't accept it, then we can't buy and sell benevolently, at least we can be friends. After calming down, Ma Huateng continued to speak.
"Then Mr. Ma, tell me, how much money are you going to pay?" Zhao Shanhe kicked the ball directly to Ma Huateng.
From Ma Huateng's words, Zhao Shanhe realized that his understanding might be biased. The Internet industry in later generations is indeed very profitable, but now it is 2000, and even NetEase and other companies are so miserable that they can make money now, it is really a problem.
While thinking about this, Zhao Shanhe searched for the annual reports of related companies on the computer.
Companies that are not listed cannot be seen, but NetEase Sina, which has been listed, can be seen.
When he saw that none of the current giants were profitable, Zhao Shanhe knew that his ideas were really wrong.
Even the domestic leaders have not made a profit, but are constantly throwing money.
So it's really too much to want such a high price.
You know, hao123 currently has a total investment of less than 300,000 yuan, if you can receive an advertising fee of 2.4 million yuan at once, it will be profitable in an instant, and it is a profit of several hundred percent, which is very scary in the whole country.
As Zhao Shanhe's words fell, Ma Huateng, who was in Pengcheng, also fell silent.
Ma Huateng really wants to continue to promote TX, judging from Zhao Shanhe's words just now, there is definitely no chance for 200,000 a year.
Zhao Shanhe has already asked for a price, so now is the moment for him to sit on the ground and pay back.
You can sit on the ground and repay the money, which is also skillful.
If there is more all of a sudden, maybe it will collapse, and if there is more, then it will be a loss.
After a long period of consideration, Ma Huateng said: "500,000 a year, Mr. Zhao agrees that we can sign the contract this week, if you don't agree, then, unfortunately, we have no chance to cooperate." ”
