2008 was an extraordinary year, and Bian Xuedao was more sure of this than anyone in this time and space.

However......

Chunjiang plumbing duck prophet, Bian Xuedao is not the only "perceiver".

For the difficult situation of the global economy in 2008, elites from all walks of life in various countries have sensed it and are making preparations.

The "Bordeaux Classified Vineyard Federation" ran from Europe to the United States, making him like a fish in water in the upper class society of Europe and the United States, that is, sensing that the storm of economic crisis was coming.

Therefore, the "Federation" is ready to use the card of Bian Xuedao, use his fame, connections and energy to open up the high-end Chinese wine market, and use the huge consumption potential of the Chinese market to offset the downward weakening of European and American wine demand.

It's not about who uses whom, it's basically everyone who takes what they need.

Bian Xuedao himself is the owner of the winery, and opening up the mainland wine market is good for the Hongyanrong winery.

In addition to opening up the market, Bian Xuedao also used his position as the vice chairman of the "Federation" to step into the upper class circle in Europe and the United States. Let's just say that this time, in Geneva, he talked to David Beckham face-to-face. And in New York, he clinked glasses with legendary top socialites Ivanka Trump, Amanda Hirst and Olivia Palermo, ceremoniously exchanging admiration.

In the eyes of a group of onlookers, Bian Xuedao is a rare young Asian rich man who is not "left behind" in front of the world's top white rich beauty and "celebrity among celebrities" Ivanka Trump.

The reason why he said "not falling behind" is because Bian Xuedao is young and rich enough, and because he is strong enough and tall enough.

The tough and upright Bian Xuedao, standing next to Ivanka Trump, who is 1.79 meters tall and wearing nearly 10 cm high heels, is only one or two centimeters shorter.

At the tasting, in addition to wine merchants and celebrities, there were also investors.

In the evening of the same day, the management of several investment banks and consortia expressed their willingness to invest in Zhiwei Technology and Zhiwei Weibo with Bian Xuedao.

It's no surprise that someone wants to invest money.

The more we are in the economic crisis, the more we must find a good place for money, so that money can make money and offset the losses caused by the economic crisis.

For investment banks and consortia, Bian Xuedao did not refuse.

In the context of increasingly fierce competition in the IT industry, the future of Zhiwei will continue to be stronger, adhere to the strategy of diversification, and cannot leave the support of capital.

Also, in 2008, the listing plan of Zhiwei Technology should be put on the agenda.

For Zhiwei, the introduction of strategic investors can help enterprises improve their shareholder structure, and at the same time establish a governance structure, regulatory system, legal framework and financial system that are conducive to future listings. The introduction of strategic investors can help enterprises better solve the problem of employee incentives and establish an employee incentive system that is conducive to listing. In addition, strategic capital can also be introduced through guò to help companies quickly expand their scale, so that it is easier to obtain the support of investment banks and the pursuit of investors when they go public in the future.

Therefore, since you plan to go public, it is a matter of time before you introduce strategic investors.

So, the remaining questions are:

First, negotiate a mutually agreeable valuation.

Second, determine how much stake you will take in exchange for an investment.

Third, go back and decide whether to split Weibo from Zhiwei Technology and list it separately.

Fourth, the negotiation confirmed that the strategic investor cannot influence the strategic direction and dominance of the enterprise.

The last point is the bottom line that Bian Xuedao must adhere to.

Obviously, however, these matters are not suitable for a reception, and should be left to a more professional person.

………………

After the annual tastings in Europe and the United States ended, Bian Xuedao did not return to China immediately, and accompanied Dong Xue to stay in New York for two days.

In the past two days, he has had a lot of calls, so many that Dong Xue is embarrassed to continue to stay by his side.

Huo Dongfeng called from Yanjing to tell Bian Xuedao, and Cheng Hao of Kaixin.com accepted the conditions and gambling agreement proposed by Bian Xuedao, and Huo Dongfeng had already arranged for someone to buy the kaixin domain name.

Lu Jichen called from the Netherlands to tell him that the matter of foreign aid and coach was basically negotiated, and it was not a big name, but after reading the information and numbers, it should be more than enough to play in the domestic first division.

Wu Tian called from Kunming to tell Bian Xuedao that the matter of introducing domestic aid was basically decided, and he only waited for Bian Xuedao to go back to make a decision. Bian Xuedao replied on the phone, no need to wait for him, Wu Tian just made his own idea.

And also......

Yang Enqiao and Fu Caining called one after another and asked about the arrangements for the annual meeting of Bian Xuedao.

Lu Mian made two phone calls and asked if Bian Xuedao was in Songjiang and wanted to discuss with him about the "small CBD" planning of the Songjiang Metro business district.

Xu Shangxiu was on winter vacation, and the three female bodyguards asked if they would follow Tianhe City to continue to protect Xu Shangxiu.

As if an appointment, the phone calls were one after another, and no matter how good the fun was, it was gone.

The two walked out of the restaurant, Dong Xue held Bian Xuedao with one hand, stretched out the other hand, followed the snowflakes falling from the sky with the palm of his hand, and said to Bian Xuedao with a smile: "Book a plane ticket, let's go home." ”

The two returned to the hotel and entered the room, when Bian Xuedao's mobile phone rang again.

The call was made by Liao from the UK, who told her that her study tour had been stationed at Fremantle-Media in the UK for a week. On the phone, Liao Lian said a message that made Bian Xuedao's heart moved.

Two of her Warwick classmates work for Fremantle-Media, who are considering forming a joint venture in China to develop entertainment models for the Chinese market, with Fremantle-Media executives interested in developing global partners in 2008.

As soon as I heard it, I knew that this was a rare opportunity.

The time has entered 2008, and several "golden" variety show models in Bian Xuedao's mind may be brewing in the minds of the original creators in his previous life. Bian Xuedao wants to take the lead, but the speed of Youdao media talent team building is too slow.

The level of the team determines the quality of the program system, and the quality is not hard, no matter how good the idea is, it may lose the wheat city.

As for digging talents, if you can dig them, you will already dig them up while learning the way.

The problem is that in the mainland in 2007, there were only a handful of outstanding variety show talents. The few people who are eye-catching in Bian Xuedao are either in the system, or they are in high positions and cannot be digged.

Now, here's your chance.

The powerful and experienced British company Fremantle-Media intends to find a partner in China to form a joint venture, and Bian Xuedao's variety show strategy has seen the light of day.
