Chapter 341: Talking about cooperation with Tencent

Li Meimei called Zhang Bin, and Qian Hanjiang contacted her and asked how the current progress was.

"What did you say?" Zhang Bin asked while dealing with official business.

"I said it was going well, and I'll hear back to him in a few days," Li Meimei whispered.

"Well, well done", Zhang Bin encouraged him and let him leave.

At present, the assistant next to Zhang Bin still puts the two in charge, after all, he can't find a suitable person, as for the work of serving tea and water, he doesn't need to do it, and if he wants to drink tea and pick it up himself, it's better to be careful.

Casting a long line to catch big fish is a matter of patience.

In the past few days, Zhang Bin has been paying attention to the situation in the Weibo Division.

The closed beta has ended, and the first round of open beta is being prepared.

The public beta test takes the form of online payment, that is, some people are invited to conduct the test, and through payment, it stipulates how much time everyone needs to log in every day, timely feedback every day, and what feedback information includes.

After several discussions, it is ready to cancel the second round of public testing, and directly conduct the third round of public testing on March 28, that is, the network test, to see what kind of information feedback the Internet public will give.

Regarding cooperation, the price has been negotiated with Baidu.

Because of Li Youhong's care, Baidu fully recommends Hengyuan Weibo, but the daily advertising cost is as high as 300,000.

Zhang Bin spent 8 million yuan and booked a whole month of advertising time.

The meeting with Ma Wenteng was arranged on the 14th, and the meeting ended on the 15th, and Ma Wenteng had time on the 14th.

As for the acquisition negotiation between Qian Xiaoyang and Five Minutes Game Company, it has just entered the negotiation stage, and it is estimated that it will take some time to know the general situation.

On the 14th, Zhang Bin met Ma Wenteng at the Yanjing Club, which was the first time Zhang Bin saw him in person.

At first glance, it doesn't seem to be very easy to deal with, it looks like a typical polytechnic man's temperament, with a suit and tie, and it looks very formal.

"Mr. Ma, hello, I am Zhang Bin from Hengyuan Group", Zhang Bin shook hands with the other party.

"Hello Mr. Zhang".

Because it was a work meeting, both of them brought assistants with them.

Zhang Bin's assistant is Kuang Jing, and Kuang Jing is also required to come forward in the follow-up work of this cooperation negotiation, so Zhang Bin is just equivalent to taking the lead this time.

"I've heard Mr. Zhang's name a little", Ma Wenteng said with a smile, but it gave people a sincere feeling.

"It makes you laugh, it's all a bit of a fight, and there are few serious things," Zhang Bin said with a smile.

The two chatted briefly, and Zhang Bin began to tell his intentions.

Zhang Bin actually hopes that Tencent will advertise himself, and this advertisement is different.

Zhang Bin hopes that Tencent can hang his Weibo icon on any page of Penguin, that is, the login page, the dialogue page, and the QQ space page.

In short, on pages with a relatively high number of views, Zhang Bin hopes to be able to hang his own icon.

After listening to Zhang Bin quietly finish his request, Ma Wenteng asked, "Did Mr. Zhang bring a sample of Weibo?" Can I take a look first? ”

Kuang Jing walked over, turned on the computer, connected to the Internet, opened the public beta version of Weibo, and then signaled that Ma Wenteng could start to experience.

Kuang Jing sat next to Zhang Bin again, watching Ma Wenteng and his assistant communicate softly while experiencing.

Twenty minutes later, Ma Wenteng said, "Mr. Zhang, is this the final version?" ”

Zhang Bin smiled and said nothing, the meaning was obvious.

Ma Wenteng nodded, not surprised at all, "This product is very good, from my personal point of view, I think it will become a strategic product."

"Thank you Mr. Ma for your compliment, I think we have a lot to do", Zhang Bin said with a smile, and was approved by an industry veteran, Zhang Bin was still quite happy.

"I'm not complimenting Mr. Zhang, no matter what aspect it is, this product has been ahead of most of the domestic online platforms, so I think this product is very marketable," Ma Wenteng said.

Zhang Bin nodded heavily, he seemed to have tasted a little taste.

Soon, Ma Wenteng said: "Mr. Zhang, I have a suggestion that I hope to put forward and discuss."

"You say," Zhang Bin said.

"I'm very optimistic about this product, and I think we can work more deeply, for example, Tencent can spare no effort to recommend Weibo among all its online products, and light up the icon for a long time, and then we hope to get a part of the ownership of the product," Ma said.

"How much is a part?" Zhang Bin asked.

Ma Wenteng glanced at Zhang Bin and thought for a while, "20%".

In fact, Ma Wenteng wanted to say 40%, but suddenly changed his mind, he felt that the young man in front of him was not like when he was young, this person has been almost all ups and downs all the way, if he says 40%, it may seem too insincere.

Sure enough, Zhang Bin smiled, "Mr. Ma, I am not satisfied with you, I personally have a lot of confidence in my product, but in fact, I have no intention of giving up my shares."

Ma Wenteng was not in a hurry, and said: "I think Mr. Zhang is also aware of the promotion effect of our Tencent, which can become a phenomenal network platform with the fastest Weibo."

"That's right, I'm sure of that", Zhang Bin nodded, that's for sure, and he also put a lot of hope on it.

But it was not Zhang Bin's original intention to give up the shares, and he believed that the Weibo that he had carefully created would definitely be more eye-catching than in his previous life, and he was very confident in this.

Zhang Bin insisted on refusing to give up his shares, and finally after some negotiation between the two, a preliminary cooperation agreement was reached.

First of all, Zhang Bin's Weibo icon is placed in a prominent position on the penguin landing page, and the icon must be in a prominent place on any open window.

What Zhang Bin needs to pay is the full cost of providing this Penguin version update, and in order to make the new version of Penguin fully popular, the cost of some incentive activities is also paid by Zhang Bin.

Not only that, Zhang Bin also promised to act as an agent for Tencent's games on the Weibo platform in the future.

The conversation lasted for an hour, but the overall atmosphere was quite good, and Zhang Bin felt much more comfortable than the conversation with Li Youhong.

"Mr. Zhang, we are very sincere, so I hope you can seriously consider our suggestion", when leaving, Ma Wenteng still said a little unwillingly.

"Mr. Ma can rest assured that if we have this will, the first choice is definitely your company," Zhang Bin said.

Seeing Ma Wenteng away, Zhang Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Tencent is currently conducting a new version of the internal test, and the Weibo icon will be added.

In fact, Zhang Bin is the same icon as before, and it hasn't changed, he thinks it's good.

Sitting on the sofa, Kuang Jing suddenly stretched out his hand to massage Zhang Bin.

"In the future, the cooperation with Tencent or Baidu will be entrusted to you, and you have to be mentally prepared, which will definitely be a very hard and busy life," Zhang said.

Kuang Jing smiled: "I know, but I'm looking forward to it, it's much more challenging than my previous job."
