"Of course not."

Son Zhengyi is an old fox, Zhang Ning confronted him, and he was careful and careful in his heart.

He wasn't afraid of Son Zhengyi, he was afraid that Son Zhengyi wouldn't take the bait.

Fortunately, after just a few minutes of chatting, Zhang Ning discovered that Son Zhengyi was also a businessman for profit.

Even if you have a grudge against yourself before, you can also put it down temporarily.

This made Zhang Ning relax a little, and said what he meant to find Sun Zhengyi this time.

"I don't know what Boss Sun thinks of your Japanese animation industry?"

"Japan's anime industry is the most developed manga industry in the world, generating hundreds of trillions of yen in GDP every year. Mr. Zhang Ning, what do you mean by this, do you want to develop China's comic industry? ”

Saying that, Sun Zhengyi smiled meaningfully, "If Mr. Zhang Ning has such an idea, I think you should stop as soon as possible." Chinese comics lag behind Japan for at least 20 years, and it is not a company that can be supported. ”

Son's vision is very poisonous, and he explains the current situation of Chinese comics at a glance.

"Boss Sun is really a good eye, but I don't want to engage in comics on the Chinese side, if I want to enter the Japanese comic industry with Mr. Sun, what do you think?"

"You entered the Japanese manga industry?"

"Are you kidding?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Zhang Ning came up with his own plan, "This is Penguin Technology's plan planning, we are ready to withdraw 100 million US dollars to enter the Japanese comics market, I don't know if Boss Sun is interested, we can work together." ”

Looking at the plan in Zhang Ning's hand, Sun Zhengyi's eyes kept rolling, as if he was thinking about something.

"The Japanese manga industry is one of the three major industries in my country, and the scale is so huge that even a hundred Softbanks can't compare. In addition, the Japanese manga industry has long formed a fixed market, and the manga publishing houses led by Jieishi have dominated the Japanese manga market. Zhang Ning, if you want to enter, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. ”

"Boss Sun, you're wrong, I'm engaged in the Internet, and what I want to enter is also the Internet market. Comics are just a product displayed on the online platform. ”

"In other words, you want to start a comic series platform online."

"Huh......"

Zhang Ning was a little strange, "How does Boss Sun know?" ”

"Last year, in Japan, there were companies that were making online comic platforms, and they also found us at SoftBank Japan. We wanted Japan's SoftBank to come and invest, and we looked at their projects. Although theoretically, it seems that such a platform also has a certain development. But they couldn't come up with an effective profit plan, and in the end, we didn't invest. And this one site, as I understand it, is now closed. ”

"In this way, Boss Sun has no interest in such a business."

"It's not that I'm not interested, if Mr. Zhang Ning can come up with an effective profit plan, I can still consider it."

Son did not refuse or agree, but waited for Zhang Ning's answer.

"Hehe, Boss Sun, do you value the profit plan so much. We Penguin Technology, but we are not profitable at all, why, Boss Sun still wants to invest? ”

"That's different. Online comic platforms don't have a profit plan, but you are different, you don't have a profit plan. It's that you don't want to make a profit. Although, I don't know what you Penguin Tech means to make instant messaging profitable. But, I still believe that you can do it. ”

"Boss Sun seems to know me very well, since he knows me so well, why do you think that if I make this webtoon platform, he will not have a profit plan?"

"Do you have?"

Son thought again.

"Could it be that Mr. Zhang Ning wants to refer to the VIP payment system of Genesis?"

Such speculation shocked Zhang Ning.

Good guy, this guy is simply a China expert.

Such a small website as Genesis, and even such a website that can't even enter the top 100 in the country, is actually known to him. Moreover, I also know the VIP reading of the genesis. You know, in later generations, there are also many experts who don't know what online reading is and what VIP payment is.

Could it be that this guy also reads web novels?

It's not impossible.

But Zhang Ning will definitely not speculate in this regard.

Most likely, I'm afraid, Masayoshi Son really knows very, very well about the Chinese Internet.

If he didn't understand, he wouldn't be the first to invest in penguins.

If he didn't understand, he wouldn't have been able to raise money for so many Internet companies in China.

If he didn't understand it, some of the companies he financed would not have become star enterprises of China's Internet in later generations.

Venture capital, venture capital.

Investment is secondary, risk is first.

If they weren't so sure of the market, how could they come and invest.

This made Zhang Ning have to look up at Sun Zhengyi a few times.

Although this guy is a little shameless, and even made himself annoying at the beginning, I have to say that this guy is very powerful.

However, Zhang Ning likes the powerful master.

If he didn't have any ability, Zhang Ning wouldn't have chosen Son Zhengyi.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ning shook his head and said, "Although Japan's online payment is more developed than China's, it doesn't generate much profit, and the profit plan I am talking about is not this...... As for the specific plan, I'm sorry, but it was impossible for me to say until we didn't cooperate. Of course, Boss Sun can also choose not to cooperate with us, we will choose other partners. However, I still think that Boss Sun is the best partner to work with. Instead, I'll give you the safest solution. We contribute $100 million, and you contribute $90 million. We have 51% of the shares of Penguin, and 49% of you. The initial funds will be paid out by us first, and after half a year, if Boss Sun finds that our website has no future, he can withdraw his capital at any time. Yes, I'll give you all your $90 million. ”

"Seriously."

Son was moved.

If the market is good, it will cooperate, and if the market is not good, it will withdraw immediately, and all the funds will be withdrawn.

Who wouldn't be impressed by such cooperation?

Moreover, what Sun Zhengyi looked forward to the most was that he vaguely felt that Zhang Ning was not lying. Since he founded Penguin Technology and a series of other companies, even when Penguin Technology was weak, he was not afraid of his own oppression, and this ability is difficult to find among countless companies around the world. This point made Son Masayoshi even more moved.

"Of course."

A talk, a small talk, two former enemies, reached a cooperation.

……

The matter of the Japanese comic website, Zhang Ning handed over to Son Zhengyi to prepare.

Although he did not have a favorable opinion of the Japanese, he believed that they would do well when it came to the interests of both sides.

Sure enough, the efficiency of Son's side was very fast.

It only took a week for Masayoshi Son to successfully create the original Penguin Comics website.

"The website has been successfully created, but I have bad news for you."

Son called Zhang Ning.

"What's the bad news?"

Some companies in the Japanese comic industry know that the Penguin original comic platform has you, a Chinese, as a shareholder.

Many comic magazines, including some well-known cartoonists, have published criticisms of you.

"What did you say?"

"It's hard to hear everything, but most of them revolve around the topic of whether Chinese understand comics."

"What else?"

"It's gone."

"It's gone?"

"What more do you want?"

"I thought there was some bad news, I was tired of listening to this kind of unscrupulous criticism."

"Well, I actually think it's a boring thing to do. However, the most important thing at the moment is that you should figure out how to increase the IP traffic of the Penguin Comics original website. ”

Although Zhang Ning did not go to Japan, Zhang Ning, the original platform of Penguin Comics, still uses guò phone remote control.

Of course, this remote control is not Son Zhengyi handling things for Zhang Ning.

For a website business like this, as Masayoshi Son, the chairman of Japan's SoftBank, where does he have time to take care of it.

The reason why he called to ask Zhang Ning was just that he wanted to see what means Zhang Ning would use.

"There is only one fastest and most convenient way to improve IP streaming."

"Which one?"

"Throw money, spend money to increase traffic."

There is not much time to bet with Son Zhengyi for half a year, and Zhang Ning wants to see results in half a year, so he naturally has to use unconventional forces.

"Talking to the major Japanese manga magazine publishers, we bought the rights to their comics on the Internet with a lot of money."

"That's a good idea."

Son Masayoshi nodded, relying on buying out a large number of comics to provide them for serialization on the Internet, which can indeed attract some people.

"And then, do you want them to watch a part of it and then charge for it, like Genesis?"

"Why learn about creation, no, this time, we don't charge, we show them for free."

"Free?"

Son Masayoshi felt that his mind was short-circuited, and secretly screamed in his heart, fortunately, his funds could be withdrawn.

Isn't that messing?

However, if you mess around, Son Masayoshi will not care, he is just a bystander now.

Yes, even if he agrees to cooperate, he will only think of himself as a bystander for the time being.

"Whatever you want, I have to remind you that you're not using our SoftBank money right now."

"Don't worry, Boss Sun, what I say still counts, after half a year, if you feel that our website has no value in cooperation, you can withdraw at any time. Oh, I almost forgot, what are the withdrawals, you haven't taken the funds all along. ”

"It's good to know, goodbye."

……

"Mr. Sun, that Zhang Ning is not a good partner, he borrowed the name of cooperating with you, I'm afraid he doesn't want to be suppressed by the government. I want to use your influence in your home country to help them. ”

The secretary "Yoshino" reminded Son from the side.

"I know."

Son nodded.

"But, Mr. Sun, why did you still agree to cooperate with Zhang Ning?"

"Cooperation?"

Son Zhengyi smiled, "Don't worry, I won't use my influence to help them, I'm just a verbal promise, do we have the funds?" No, we didn't pay a penny, did we? ”

"It seems to be the same."

Yoshino thought about it before and after, and although he felt that there was something wrong, he always felt that it was not harmful to their SoftBank at all.
