Chapter 607: Chen Shaojie
Zheng Xudong received a phone call when he was about to play basketball with a few buddies in the dormitory, so he hurriedly said goodbye to his buddies.
Because this call was made by Liu Xiaoli, he then Liu Xiaoli told him that he had made an appointment with Chen Shaojie, the founder of ACFUN, which was the predecessor of Betta, Zheng Xudong has always wanted to invest in the video webcast platform, and he just took this opportunity to meet him.
The meeting place, Zheng Xudong, chose a teahouse about a kilometer away from their school, the name of this teahouse is One Mu Tea Garden, and the specific location is in the center of Yicheng on Changchun Road.
Zheng Xudong came here in ten minutes, there were not many people, and he booked a private room for six people, because he still had Liu Xiaoli here, and the other party Chen Shaojie didn't know how many people there were, Zheng Xudong estimated that there would be at least one secretary to follow, and it would be too crowded to book a four-person private room once there were others, so it was better to book a six-person private room.
The whole teahouse is decorated in an antique style, with wooden hollow windows, a long square table made of solid wood, and an old-fashioned circle chair next to the table, and the service staff walked in in an apricot-colored cheongsam and said, "Sir, do you want to order tea now?"
"Wait a few minutes, I have friends who will be there shortly. Zheng Xudong said.
"Okay, please call me when your friend comes. The waiter finished and left.
Twenty minutes later, Liu Xiaoli followed the two of them into the private room booked by Zheng Xudong.
Sure enough, as Zheng Xudong thought, Chen Shaojie only brought a female secretary here.
Chen Shaojie is a native of SD Jinan, but he does not have the burly figure of SD Dahan, on the contrary, he is not tall, certainly not more than 1.76 meters, white skin, slightly fat, inch head, a pair of half-framed glasses stuck on his nose, on this hot day in August in Beijing, he is still wearing a white shirt, and only unbuttoned the top button. The first impression of Zheng Xudong looks like a newly graduated graduate student.
The secretary next to him is also dressed as an OL, he is very tall, and the heels of the high heels on his feet are not high, but he looks almost as tall as Chen Shaojie. Of course, the appearance is in the middle and upper posture, the S body shape, the shirt on the chest is pushed up to the height, Zheng Xudong is even a little worried about the button in that position, thinking: You must hold on, if you lose, the two "white rabbits" inside will jump out.
Liu Xiaoli introduced the two sides, and then asked the waiter to order a pot of Biluochun and a few Cantonese-style snacks.
The waiter in the apricot cheongsam just now quickly brought up what they wanted.
"I don't tell you not to come and disturb us. Liu Xiaoli said before the service went out.
"Because I'm going to catch a plane to Shenzhen in two hours, so Mr. Zheng, how about we make a long story short?" Chen Shaojie said straight to the point.
"Okay, Mr. Chen!" Zheng Xudong said: " Some time ago, I saw our ACFUN entertainment game platform by chance, I was very interested in this platform, but I felt that this platform was too monotonous to just make a game platform, so I wanted to have the opportunity to meet with you, to see if we could cooperate, to make a comprehensive revision of this ACFUN platform, or simply to build a new company, I have a name in mind, and then this platform can be used for live broadcasts, the content of the live broadcast is not limited to games, it can also be the anchor's talent show, travel records, live food and so onγ I have a plan here, you can take a look. Saying that, Zheng Xudong took out a copy of the "Douyu Entertainment Platform Planning Case" from the briefcase next to him and handed it to Chen Shaojie.
This plan was done by Zheng Xudong when he wanted to invest in the Douyu live broadcast platform, so he took the plan out of the space before Chen Shaojie came.
But Chen Shaojie just glanced at the cover of the plan that Zheng Xudong put on the table, and then picked up the tea in front of him and said: "Mr. Zheng is not afraid that after I read the plan, I will leave you alone to do this... Ah, it's interesting that you have the name of this platform, Douyu! Isn't Mr. Zheng worried?"
Zheng Xudong also took a small sip of the teacup in front of him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I still believe in my eyes to see people, although we meet for the first time today, but I have learned too much about you in other aspects before, and I am still willing to believe in Mr. Chen's character through the feedback from all parties." This is one of them. β
Chen Shaojie knew that the person sitting in front of him was the now popular star Anton, but after he came in, he didn't say a word about this identity, just to make today's business negotiations more pure, without mixing anything unrelated to business negotiations.
He received this proposal a month ago that the star wanted to invest, to be honest, he was not optimistic, Chen Shaojie thought that this might be the star making money at this stage, and wanted to find a way to manage his finances, and he didn't know how to fall in love with him, the biggest possibility is that this star loves to play e-sports games. So he hasn't been in a hurry for a month, and today his secretary suddenly remembered to say that the star named Anton wanted to invest a month ago, and he just remembered that he happened to have two hours to come over in Beijing to take a look, just to come and take a look is not to offend people, to give the other party a little face, but just hearing his eloquent talk made him completely change his opinion of this star. He decided to listen carefully to what he had to say next, "Oh, I don't know what else Mr. Zheng has to say!"
Zheng Xudong smiled after hearing this, "Gao Jian, I can't talk about it, I don't dare to make an axe in front of you, an elite in the business world! The second point I want to say is that I can afford a loss, and if I look at you wrong, I can still afford this loss." This is just one of my several investments, the volume is not large, I have invested a few tens of millions of investments, and there has never been a situation where someone has put it together, and I don't think it will be this time. What do you say, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Shaojie nodded appreciatively when he heard Zheng Xudong's words, and clapped his hands slowly a few times, "Wonderful! It's really wonderful! I have worked hard in the business world for so many years after graduation, and I haven't met someone like Mr. Zheng for a long time, okay, I'll take a look at your plan, if you can, we can continue to talk about cooperation." After speaking, Chen Shaojie picked up the plan on the table. Then I opened it and began to read it carefully.
Zheng Xudong's plan for the Douyu live broadcast platform is not long, only a few pages, but it is full of the essence, including the operation model after its establishment, the profit model, how to create entertainment hotspots, etc., each issue is explained concisely and concisely, but it can make Chen Shaojie, an expert, see the preciousness at a glance. Ten minutes later, Chen Shaojie saw the last page, and then he read it again from the beginning, this time he read it relatively quickly, and it only took three minutes to finish it. After reading it, he solemnly closed the plan, carefully placed it on the table, and said solemnly: "This plan is the best marketing plan I have seen so far, worth at least one million." Looks like I've come to the right place today. I wonder how Mr. Zheng plans to cooperate?"
"I set up a new company and I took a stake. β
"It's okay to set up a new company, how much do you buy?"
"As many shares as possible without a controlling stake!"
"Oh?!Why don't you take a stake?"
"I don't have the ability to actually run a company, so I want to leave the professional stuff to the professionals. For example, Mr. Chen, you!"
In this way, I have a preliminary idea, the new company's share capital is 10 million, I will give you 3.5 million shares, and then I will account for 4.5 million, and the remaining 2 million will be used to reward high-level employees and the rest of the funds used to introduce other venture capital institutions in the future, Mr. Zheng, what do you mean?"
"Mr. Chen doesn't plan to take a controlling stake?"
"Holdings, how can it be so easy! It's okay not to make money, once you make money, all kinds of forces and relationships are coming, you always have to share a part of the interests to come out to send these passing little devils, alas! It's a long story, it's hard to say! It's like Mr. Zheng, you just invest to get dividends, and be a hands-off shopkeeper, I actually really envy a boss like you. β
When Zheng Xudong heard Chen Shaojie's words, he stood up and stretched out his hands, and said, "Deal!"
"Happy working together!"
"Mr. Chen, this is Liu Xiaoli, the general manager of my investment company, you can find her for specific matters at that time, she will have full authority to represent me, you also know that my university has just started, so there is no way... β
"I understand, I really yearn for the unforgettable time in the ivory tower, cherish this time!" Chen Shaojie said enviously: "By the way, big star, I have a DVD of yours here, you have to sign it for me, my daughter is your super fan!" said and took a DVD from the secretary that Zheng Xudong had been released in the United States.
"Anton, I'm also your fan! Can you sign for me and take a group photo?" Chen Shaojie, the secretary who had not spoken in the room, said with little stars in his eyes.
After signing the group photo, Chen Shaojie said to Zheng Xudong before leaving: "Mr. Zheng, is it possible for you to do a few live broadcasts as a star after the establishment of our new company? β
"Mr. Chen, I will consider this issue at that time. Zheng Xudong said with a smile. Then Zheng Xudong and Liu Xiaoli personally sent Chen Shaojie outside the teahouse to shake hands and say goodbye.
Returning to the teahouse again, Zheng Xudong said to Liu Xiaoli: "Mr. Liu, you immediately send someone to inquire about Shenzhen Huaqiang Digital Entertainment Company, which is an animation entertainment company, to see if you can buy shares or simply hold shares, because I have some animation works to be brought to the market through the shell of an animation company." Send someone to talk, if you can control a little more expensive, it's not a problem. β
Liu Xiaoli took out a notepad and wrote down the main points of Zheng Xudong's words.
"There's another company that's very important, and I hope you can take the time to talk to it in person, or make an appointment and I want to talk to the CEO of this company in person, preferably with a controlling stake, not as the second largest shareholder. β
Liu Xiaoli was surprised when she heard it, because Zheng Xudong rarely attaches so much importance to a company, so she asked, "Adong, what company do you attach so much importance to!?"
