Chapter 44 Gambling on the owner of the horse village

Where did Wu Xiang go? This guy has come to a good place.

"Zhang Jingchu, I'm Wu Xiang, how did you read the book "The First Close Contact"?" This passage was sent by Wu Xiang to Zhang Jingchu on 0-ICQ, of course, they just added friends.

"I've seen it early in the morning, you are really a person, you said that you were looking for me to film, but you didn't come to me for so many days, are you lying to me?" Zhang Jingchu's message was somewhat accusatory.

"No, that's a good thing, you don't have to worry, I really have something, I'll go back in a few days, and then we'll be ready to turn on." Wu Xiang returned immediately.

"What the hell is going on? are you still keeping it a secret?" Zhang Jingchu hoped to get the truth.

"Important, I'm talking to you at Penguin's headquarters right now. As soon as Wu Xiang's words passed, people were silent at that time.

That's right, Wu Xiang is indeed in the penguin's headquarters now, but the current penguin headquarters is not as beautiful as it will be in the future, and Wu Xiang has been looking for a long time to find it, and his vacation is not enough.

What are you doing at the Penguin headquarters? This is the real purpose of Wu Xiang telling Huang Yi that he was leaving, and he was here to discuss business.

It took a lot of effort for Wu Xiang to find a place, but the people were very enthusiastic, because Wu Xiang had made it clear from the beginning, and I was here to send you money.

Wu Xiang was immediately treated as a guest, sat down and poured tea, this set is a must, even if this parlor is relatively simple, but the number of courtesies is still in place. And without any obstacle at all, Wu Xiang met the owner of the penguin, Ma Huateng.

At this time, Ma Huateng is no different from the person in Wu Xiang's impression, maybe it is the relationship between race, we are not too old, anyway, it is like that, but Wu Xiang can see that the current Ma Huateng is very thirsty!

In the Northeast dialect, this is the meaning of lack of money, and now Ma Huateng interprets the word 'thirsty' very well, and Wu Xiang can't even find other words to describe him.

"That, Mr. Wu, how much are you going to send?" was very active, although he was a little embarrassed, but Ma Huateng still asked this sentence. Wu Xiang was going to take a stand, but he took the initiative first.

To be honest, this was quite surprising to Wu Xiang, because Wu Xiang knew a little bit about Ma Huateng, strictly speaking, he was a rich second generation, his father was a director of a listed company, and he also had a background in officialdom. In fact, it is not uncommon for listed companies to have this background in this year.

But looking at it now, it seems that his father's help to him did not come from money, otherwise Ma Huateng would not be so thirsty for 'wealth'.

Wu Xiang didn't make the family too uncomfortable, he immediately took out a piece of paper and put it on the table, and said, "This is my investment plan, you can take a look first." ”

However, Ma Huateng didn't look at this piece of paper in a hurry, but asked first, "Mr. Wu, you're not a venture capitalist, right?"

"Venture capital? No. "Wu Xiang is very honest, which also reminds him that at the beginning of Penguin's business, Ma Huateng didn't want to introduce venture capital, I'm afraid this is the main reason why he is very 'thirsty' now. Another reason, I'm afraid is that 0-ICQ is developing very well now, the number of users is increasing rapidly, and it needs operating expenses, but now 0-ICQ has no way to make a profit, she is still a free software, the better the development, the more money will be burned.

"That's good. Ma Huateng began to look at it, but the more he looked at him, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

Of course, Wu Xiang knew what he was doing for Lu, because what was written on that piece of paper was, a bet.

"Gambling contract: I, Wu Xiang, voluntarily bet against Mr. Ma Huateng. I bet on the mainland box office of the movie "First Close Contact" that I am currently filming, and if the mainland box office exceeds 10 million, I will invest 20% of the box office share in Mr. Ma's company. If the mainland box office exceeds 30 million, I will invest 25% of the box office share in Mr. Ma's company...... If the mainland box office exceeds 100 million, I will take out 50% of the box office share to invest in Mr. Ma's company......"

This is really a bet, and one by one, when it comes to the box office, Wu Xiang will take as much as he will share and invest clearly, and Wu Xiang's shares will not exceed 30%. If the mainland box office is only 10 million, Wu Xiang will donate one million yuan to Ma Huateng for free. It can be said that all the circumstances have been taken into account, but there is one more detail in this. That is, the movie "First Close Contact" needs to be promoted through 0-ICQ.

As far as it seems now, of all these terms, only this one is beneficial to Wu Xiang to help promote it, as for the rest, it is really the same as sending money, but!

"This "First Close Contact", oh, I have the impression that it is a very popular web novel. But when will this movie be released? Now...... This, we ......" Ma Huateng was embarrassed to continue, he was actually most concerned about the current matter, as far as the company's current situation is concerned, the hosting fee of the server is a problem.

"Haha......" Wu Xiang laughed, he couldn't help but laugh, because the future Internet boss will also have such a down-and-out time, but it sounds like this guy should have agreed, so Wu Xiang said: "Do you think that this plan is just lip service and not true?"

The meaning of this is to put it bluntly, it is a mouthpiece, but Ma Huateng still understands, but he can't offend the owner now, so he said: "The key is that our company's current operation is a problem, and this movie is a big box office hit, I'm afraid we won't survive at that time." ”

Wu Xiang didn't say much, he directly took out a card, "There are 500,000 on it, which can be used as a deposit for this gambling contract." You can spend as much as you want, and when the box office of my movie comes out, we can count it together. ”

This condition is really good, it is really a gift to you!

Ma Huateng was happy in his heart, but he had a question, "Mr. Wu, I want to ask, why are you so confident in our company?"

This question is good, Wu Xiang has wanted to answer this question for a long time, of course, this cannot be the answer in his heart, 'Lao Tzu knows that you will become bigger and stronger in the future!' Wu Xiang said.

"'First Close Encounter' was my novel, and it was very popular on the Internet. And if we cooperate, that is, we bet, then I will add the plot of the hero and heroine using 0-ICQ in the movie, which is a propaganda for your software. I call this thing product placement, so if my movie is popular and sells well, then your software will be even more popular, and your software will help me promote it, then my movie will be even more popular. It's like we're advertising each other, and if that ad comes to pass, it's a win-win, and we're all winners. ”

It's a long paragraph, and the logic is quite complicated, but the main meaning is, I don't have confidence in your company, but I have confidence in my own movie!

It is undeniable that Ma Huateng is a smart person, he understood, "Okay! We gambled! However, I can't ask for this 500,000 yuan in vain, now this 500,000 yuan can be said to be a life-saving thing for our company, I will gather the other four shareholders, and we will jointly sell 2%, so that you account for 10% of the shares, I don't want you to suffer." ”

Good character!

This is Wu Xiang's evaluation of Ma Huateng, of course, this trip to Pengcheng is very perfect.
