"Mr. Song's industrial intuition and foresight have always been admired by people, and I am no exception! Like many people, I have never been able to feel sorry for having an interview with Mr. Song in person!" Levi smiled, and his tone was unstingy about his admiration and admiration for Song Chen.

The conversation changed and let . Bernard. Levy said with a puzzled face: "As far as I know, since last year, Chenxing Culture Group has been making continuous moves, not only swallowing the two major comic companies in the United States, preparing to build Chenxing Pictures, but also its own game development studio!" As far as I know, the industry-highly regarded Half-Life series is a product of your company, VALVE! In addition, Chenxing Entertainment, which focuses on the research and development of online games, even if Chenxing Culture Group is not the world's top game manufacturer, also has good R&D capabilities in Silicon Valley, I am very confused about Miss Fan's intention! Of course, this confusion is not directly related to today's informal meeting, it is my personal problem!"

"It's an honor to answer your questions!" Fan Xueyanran said, "It is true that Chenxing Culture Group has good game development capabilities in the United States, but most of the high-end talents are concentrated in the field of online games!" As you can see, we have strong R&D capabilities and operational capabilities in the field of online games! But when it comes to single-player games, VALVE can only be regarded as an upstart, and it is nothing compared to your company's star-studded studio! Moreover, with a single variety of games, we urgently need more game types to enrich our company's product line!"

"Obviously, it's going to take time! We don't lack time, but we may also need some richer talent system and effective distribution channels in Europe and the United States, and it coincides with your company's semi-public intention to sell the game division, and Mr. Song is very interested, which is why I can sit in front of you, Mr. Bernard!"

Speaking of this, Fan Xue did not shy away from pointing out: "Recently, your company Vivendi Global Group has been caught in an economic scandal, and the financial losses are strictly out of the expectations of the capital community, and the shareholders hope to split the group's assets to repay the debts The plan has received a lot of support, and I think you also need some exciting news to boost the company's stock price!"

Aside from the subtlety and mildness of Asians, Fan Xue's outspoken attitude is clearly influenced by her repeated trips abroad, and she understands the negotiation skills of Westerners better than many Chinese managers.

Although Levy was displeased, he did not show it, he said tepidly: "Thank you Miss Fan for your concern, although Vivendi Global Group has been criticized, there are many investors who are optimistic about us, I believe that with my efforts, my company will improve!" Finances may be tight, but it's nowhere near the point of a spin-off!"

Fan Xue said with a smile: "I believe that Mr. Bernard's ability can turn the tide!" But IMHO, how long do you think it will take to get the results that agency managers want to see? A year? Two years? Or five years? Decade? With a mess of 13.6 billion euros left to you, how many years will it take for Vivendi to recover?"

Let. Bernard. Levi furrowed his brow, but his expression remained gentle and gentlemanly. He moved his body and smiled slightly: "Miss Fan seems to be confident, and even has ambitions for our company's game department, maybe you can tell me good news?"

Levy kicked the ball back to Fan Xue, which surprised the latter slightly, but she quickly calmed down and realized that this was the other party's temptation.

Fan Xue smiled lightly: "A billion dollars, cash!"

Let. Bernard. Levy smiled slightly, put down the knife and fork, picked up a tissue and wiped the corner of his lips, which was already very clean, he stood up and handed his hand to Fan Xue, and said, "I think we have nothing to talk about!" Miss Fan, look forward to meeting next time!"

Fan Xue was stunned again, and hurriedly stood up and held the other party's hand, her heart was in turmoil, and she wanted to redeem it in an instant. It's just that Yanbo noticed the other party's sly and deep smile, she bit the tip of her tongue, and hurriedly changed her words: "1.2 billion dollars is the bottom line that Mr. Song gave me!" If it is higher, he will have to come in person, and if there is any rudeness, please forgive me!"

I didn't expect this young and beautiful Chinese lady to reflect so quickly! Let. Bernard. Levy was surprised and a little regretful, but his face was still silent and said: "Of course, you are responsible for Mr. Song, and I am responsible for the board of directors of the company. Miss Fan?"

"Of course!" Fan Xue nodded without hesitation......

"So, how about having the secretary meet up next time?"

It seems that this will be a tug-of-war, Fan Xue breathed a sigh of relief: her seniority in Chenxing Group is shallow after all, and she is regarded as Song Chen's mistress and secretary both inside and outside the company, and she does not have the ability to manage the company at all, and she is responsible for negotiations of more than hundreds of millions of dollars for the first time, and her pressure is actually very great, once the negotiation fails, it will have a great impact on her control of Chenxing Culture Group.

Although I am looking forward to Song Chen coming to Europe to join her, it means more to her to be able to complete this acquisition independently, and she cannot be selfish.

"No problem!"

……

The NASDAQ stock market crash is an unbearable disaster for the global technology community, but it is a very rare opportunity for the prepared Chenxing Group, at worst, at least the parent company has prepared a large amount of cash flow, so that the entire group will not fall into the embarrassment of being overstretched, and even have spare power to support large-scale investment in subsidiaries, mergers and acquisitions and even the construction of network infrastructure.

Specifically, after three years of follow-up and gradually eroded ICQ's market share in China's and the world's online instant messaging, the company finally defeated ICQ in one fell swoop, and the winner-takes-all Matthew effect expelled ICQ from mainstream social products, ranking second with a huge scale.

AOL's Mirabils assets depreciated by nearly half that year, and AOL Time Warner had to write down $280 million in the new fiscal quarter, causing the already sluggish stock price to dive sharply.

Since the NASDAQ stock market crash, Chenxing Network has made frequent moves, in addition to greatly acquiring portal resources at home and abroad, expanding the editorial team in China, and organizing its own editorial lineup abroad to enrich its own original content; At the same time, under the instruction of Song Chen, Yao Hua began to acquire some start-ups in the social field in a targeted manner to enrich the functions of QQ and improve user stickiness.

In terms of operating income, on the one hand, Yao Hua actively cooperated with Monternet launched by China Mobile to prepare for the establishment of a wireless value-added department, and on the other hand, he also developed Internet value-added services including QQ members, QQ beautiful accounts, QQ show (red diamonds), QQ games (blue diamonds), etc., and brought tens of millions of dollars in revenue last year.

Compared with the financial reports of Chenxing Network before and after the NASDAQ stock market crash, the management below Yao Hua is enough to sleep peacefully.

At least Yao Hua, CEO of Chenxing Network, feels that the most dangerous and difficult years of Chenxing Network are about to pass, and then the company will usher in a golden period of rapid development - once Chenxing Network merges with Chenxing Entertainment in the future, it will be tantamount to a change like a phoenix nirvana.

"The momentum of the development of Chenxing Network is good, but this is not enough, in addition to the key construction of QQ Music, I will give you another task, which is why I invited Mr. Zhu and other colleagues to attend the meeting."

In the conference room, Song Chen sat in the first place, and the main executives of Chenxing Network and Baidu sat on both sides of the oval long table.

Wang Xiaoxue temporarily served as Song Chen's secretary here, standing straight behind him with her delicate body.

"With the popularization of broadband services in economically developed countries, the construction of basic network facilities will finally solve the problem of network number delay, and bring a new consumer hotspot, online music has been booming for many years, online video will be born with the popularization of broadband, Chenxing Group can not ignore this extremely critical Internet product, it must be laid out early!"

Song Chen's speech has never been drafted, and the style is concise, there will be no superfluous descriptions, and he put forward his own views and judgments at the beginning: "However, due to the high degree of monopoly in China's telecom market and the complex industrial structure, the speed of broadband popularization will not be as rapid as that of developed countries, and there will be a relatively slow process!" In addition, there is piracy, which is a policy problem that cannot be solved for the time being, so today's meeting is mainly to talk to you about the preliminary preparations, the investment in the film and television copyright library, and the disposal of the equity ratio of the new company!"

When it comes to the company's rights and interests, Yao Hua is very concerned: "Is there a joint venture between Chenxing Network and Baidu?"

Song Chen nodded: "The strategy of Chenxing Network will definitely become clear in the next two years, and the industrial layout of 'pan-entertainment' will definitely be thoroughly pondered by those analysts, so I will no longer make mandatory requirements for you to keep a low profile next!"

Looking at Zhu Tiejun, who was silent on the side, Song Chen said again: "To make online videos, if you want to avoid the loss of profits caused by piracy to the greatest extent, Baidu's in-depth participation is indispensable!" Therefore, the new company, Chenxing Network occupies 60%, Baidu holds 40%, the president-level personnel is authorized by the parent company, and the vice president level and below are negotiated by yourself!"

Zhu Tiejun is very interested in online videos, although it is not clear how much search volume online videos can bring to Baidu, but one thing is at least certain, that is, Song Chen's affirmation and attention.

But he was also skeptical, and he muttered: "Boss, do you want Baidu to block pirated links?" (To be continued......)
