During the New Year, according to the plan formulated by Lin Yi, Yishi implemented a "New Year's greeting" plan, inviting more than 20 celebrities to record VCR New Year's greeting videos, and a star's New Year's greeting VCR was uploaded every day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the same time, E-Vision also launched a quiz with prizes -- who will be today's New Year's celebrity? Those who guess correctly will receive a New Year's gift package worth 8,888! Of course, the water army went out again, bringing a wave of rhythm, and this activity quickly became popular all over the Internet, and the number of users even exceeded 80 million!

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Yishi.com is officially profitable!

As early as the beginning of the launch of Yishi.com, Lin Yi asked Yishi to sign an agreement with Alipay, allowing users to recharge through Alipay, reward short video authors, and live broadcast room anchors and give gifts. Originally, the income of these two items was not too high, but it can be regarded as income, plus a small amount of advertising revenue, which can basically maintain the daily operation of the platform, but the market is open but it still needs to burn money.

However, during the New Year, many young users received New Year's money, and their pockets bulged, and the number of users who were willing to recharge increased by more than 30% at once, and the overall income of Yishi.com directly increased by more than two times!

As a result, all the expenses of the "New Year's Greeting Plan" have been earned, and there is still a lot of leftover!

This is a big deal, a video website that has just been established for less than half a year, and the content model and profit model that are different from most of the websites that are playing now, have suddenly opened up a new idea for the current IP circle, and countless companies are ready to move, all of them are studying the business model of Yishi, and many companies have successively thrown olive branches to Yishi.

However, the highest price is not Tengxun, which Lin Yi is targeting, but another film and television giant, Sohu.

"Tengxun's opening price has been raised to 1 billion, and Sohu has quoted 1.2 billion. Cao Xiaoxue said, "But Sohu means that it hopes that part of the funds will be paid in the form of equity exchange." ”

"Let him play along!" Lin Yi pouted, "Although Sohu is not bad, I am not optimistic about them." ”

"What about Tengxun, do you want to discuss the equity exchange with them?" Cao Xiaoxue said, "If the equity is exchanged, the price may be a little higher." ”

"Don't trade with them. Lin Yi said, "We are short of money now, and a large number of good projects are waiting for us." In addition, letting Tengxun take out more cash flow is good for our next development. ”

Although Tengxun is rich and wealthy, a mere billion yuan is not a lot of money for them, but it can weaken one point is one point, and in the future when the mobile terminal communication war, at least they can have a little less ammunition......

"Well, the price hasn't met your expectations. Cao Xiaoxue said.

"Ask their people over first," Lin Yi said, "I'll probe their bottom line first." ”

Lin Yi's goal is more than 1.3 billion, if this price is according to Sohu's offer, it may be able to win it after some negotiations, but Lin Yi doesn't want to sell it to Sohu, and the first choice of Tengxun's offer is too different, I'm afraid it will be difficult to talk about this price.

But in any case, the company must be sold, otherwise when Tencent decides to develop similar projects, it will not be easy to sell even if it is a billion......

After some estimation, Lin Yi felt that it was not a big problem to talk about 1100 million in the end, and if it was hyped up again, it might be possible to increase it to 1200 million?

After returning to the company, Lin Yi held a high-level meeting of Yishi.com and arranged a Lantern Festival hype plan, hoping to stimulate the company through the Lantern Festival and increase the company's valuation a little.

As for Tencent, they agreed with them to meet the next morning to discuss the specific acquisition plan.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day of family reunion, Lin Yi received Vice President Wang, the person in charge of Tengxun's company in Beijing, in the conference room of Tianyi Company.

"Mr. Wang, I'm really sorry to invite you over for the Lantern Festival today. Lin Yi shook hands with Vice President Wang.

"Eh, Mr. Lin is too busy, it's understandable, how is the movie?" Vice President Wang said with a smile.

"The filming of the scene in the capital is over, and I have to rush to the location the day after tomorrow. Lin Yi said.

The meaning of this is very clear, there are only two days to deal with the issue of the company's sale, which is tantamount to putting pressure on Vice President Wang in disguise.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin is really busy. Vice President Wang smiled and sat down at the conference table with Lin Yi.

"I like to go straight, so I won't be polite with Mr. Wang, let's get straight to the point. Lin Yi said.

"I agree, everyone is busy, time is precious, hehe. Vice President Wang said with a smile.

"Can Mr. Wang be fully responsible for the acquisition proposal of our Yishi this time?" Lin Yi asked.

"Well, basically I can make a decision directly, of course, before the final decision, I will report to Mr. Ma first, hehe. Vice President Wang said with a smile.

Lin Yi frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with this answer, and disliked the other party for wasting his time. He continued: "Mr. Wang has already had a detailed understanding of our company's situation, and the current number of members of the company, as well as the proportion of payment, and the level of payment amount should be relatively clear, and the company's future development potential has also been evaluated." Then I'll put it bluntly, my expectation is to make a price of 1.5 billion, and below this price, I will suffer a lot. ”

"Mr. Lin, this price is too high, our valuation is only one billion. Vice President Wang said.

"With the current momentum of our company, I believe that in a year's time, the company's market value will exceed 500 million. Lin Yi said.

"I want to come up with one billion, we can open a similar company in Tencent, and even with the platform advantage of Tencent, it will not take half a year to surpass Yishi. Vice President Wang said lightly.

"Hmm...... If that's the case, I don't think there's any need to talk about it anymore. Lin Yi didn't back down at all.

Vice President Wang was stunned for a moment, then snorted and said, "Mr. Lin is really sharp, haha, let's take a step back, I'll add another 50 million, how about it?"

Lin Yi stood up without saying a word and said, "Mr. Wang, I wish you a happy Lantern Festival." Mr. Cao, prepare a Lantern Festival gift for Mr. Wang to take back. ”

"Uh......" Vice President Wang was stunned, this is really the first time he has encountered such a negotiation, and he collapsed without finishing two sentences? This is a large-scale negotiation involving more than a billion yuan? This is simply the level of selling cabbage on the street!

Vice President Wang is also the vice president of Tengxun, the boss of the Beijing company, how can he say that he is also a big man, how can he stand Lin Yi's treatment? ”

Lin Yi put on a gesture of invitation, and at the same time secretly thought to himself, now he can only hope that Vice President Wang will change his mind after he goes back and sees the new hype plan of Yishi......

However, when Lin Yi sent Vice President Wang to the door of the company, he saw a girl coming over, and shouted without saying a word: "Lin Yi, I finally found you!"

"You...... It's you, what are you looking for me?" Lin Yi showed a smile, this girl was Qian Beibei who spoke on the phone yesterday.

"My grandfather asked me to give you a gift!" Qian Beibei snorted and threw a gift box to Lin Yi and said, "Otherwise, this girl won't be too lazy to look for you!"

Lin Yi took the gift box and smiled, while Vice President Wang on the side looked at Qian Beibei with a confused expression......
