Chapter 507 Player's Welfare (Part II)

Yang Yiwei didn't say anything, and Bill Gates didn't continue to ask, but just looked at Yang Yiwei thoughtfully, and then said quickly: "In that case, leave me one of the top palace complexes?" In fact, the price of 100 million was immediately thought up by Yang Yiwei, because he didn't start promoting his place now, so naturally he didn't think that someone would book it now, when Bill Gates just asked, Yang Yiwei just said the price in his heart.

Of course, he knew that the price was not low, it could be said to be very high, 100 million US dollars, not a complete purchase, just a year's membership fee. This is no longer just a luxury, but Yang Yiwei didn't expect that Bill Gates would continue to ask for it. But think about it, his money is no longer spent, and there is no difference between 100 million a year and 10 million a year.

"Of course this is no problem, I can have someone bring the renderings, and Mr. Gates has the right of first choice." Yang Yiwei nodded slightly, someone sent money, Yang Yiwei naturally would not give up.

Yang Yiwei and Bill Gates are chatting here, Xu Zhennan and they are also negotiating hard there, the cooperation between the two sides has set the tone, and the only question is how much should Microsoft pay Xingnuo Communications to get rich? Previously, Xingnuo Communication was reluctant to open a new company between the two parties.

"Miss Xu, are you sure that you are sincere in your business? In fact, we don't have much profit margin, and you are too strong to make it difficult. Ballmer said with some depression.

Xu Zhennan shook his head slightly, looked at Steve next to him and said, "Mr. Ballmer, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Bill once said to Mr. Yang that he was willing to pay to help Starfall Group launch satellites?" Let's calculate the cost of two satellites, and we need at least $1 billion, right? And it can't be that the launch of the satellite will not give us a share of the profits, right? I'm sure you'll still have a share of the profits for us. So, we don't want much? ”

Ballmer choked for a moment, and asked Bill to go out of the mountain to talk to Yang Yiwei, although the hole card was told to Bill, but the launch of the satellite, Microsoft thought at that time that the two sides jointly controlled a new company, and the company's share ratio was not mentioned for the time being, just said that the launch of the satellite would be counted in the property of the new company. It's nothing more than Microsoft paying for it first.

Well, even if Microsoft pays some more, but now you don't need to launch new satellites, do you? Where do your operating costs come from? It's just that a portion of the broadband traffic is developed, and then a portion of the server resources are consumed. Besides, the broadband resources available to X-Box users are comparable to those of hundreds of millions of people in China. It's just a small thing.

With this bit of broadband traffic, you don't need to increase manpower to operate. What are your costs? "Okay. For the sake of our long-term partners, the profit requirements of our Starfall Group can be reduced by $8! Our bottom line! Xu Zhennan raised his head and said.

"It's just dropped by $1, no, we'll give you a maximum of $5." Ballmer shook his head resolutely.

"Mr. Ballmer, it's been days. Do you want this to continue? So, let's each take a step back, $7? Xu Zhennan frowned slightly, and then asked with an embarrassed face.

Ballmer immediately hesitated. At the beginning of this distance, the asking price of the Starfall Group has been reduced a lot. But for them, it's still a bit too high, far beyond Ballmer's bottom line, maybe in a few years Microsoft will make a profit, but this also has a contract clause, so the lower the starting point now, the better it will be for Microsoft.

"$6!" After a long time, Ballmer raised his head and looked at Xu Zhennan seriously, and spit out a word.

"Deal!" Xu Zhennan pondered for a while, and simply agreed. More than a dozen people on both sides of the negotiation immediately breathed a sigh of relief, all the contracts between the two sides have been negotiated, and there is a disagreement here on this specific price, and it has been discussed for three days, and now everyone is finally relieved. After all, from the previous meeting between the two sides in the 1 cent and 1 cent talks, these deputies are also quite painful.

Don't look at this price seems to be very low, but the condition of the Starfall Group is that the Starfall Group and Microsoft jointly supervise the network server, and the actual connection number of the X-box is used as the data, and Microsoft pays Xingnuo Communications 6 US dollars per person every month for network use. As for the other benefits, Xingnuo Communications does not pay much, and it is not needed, but there is a clause in the contract that when the number of logged-in users rises by 1 million, Microsoft's network usage fees to Xingnuo Communications will increase by 10 cents.

Although Microsoft has sold tens of millions of X-BOX, the number of people who connect to the battle network every month is about more than one million, so it is only 6 million US dollars per month, but how much growth this number will be, both Ballmer and Xu Zhennan know in their hearts.

You must know that the players who sell X-boX are all over the world, not all of them have the Internet, and many people buy them back to play stand-alone games, and they basically don't play online, although X-box has this function. And many places can't even connect to Microsoft's network, but after having the network of Starfall Group, it's different, maybe after the news is announced, since the server is opened, it is possible that nearly 10 million users will pop up all at once.

What's more, once you cooperate with Microsoft, in the market share of home game consoles, Microsoft will definitely compress the share of Sony and Nintendo, the ratio of the previous three is about 4:2:4, Microsoft and Nintendo occupy about 4 percent, and Sony occupies the remaining two percent, and now with this weapon, where will the proportion of the other two be compressed, it is an unknown.

After the contract was negotiated, Steve signed a cooperation contract with Microsoft on behalf of Xingnuo Communications, Xu Zhennan just came to negotiate, of course, it was not that he didn't believe Steve, but Steve didn't understand how huge the technology of Starfall Group was, don't look at him as the chairman of Xingnuo Communications for almost a year.

"I believe that after this news spreads, Microsoft's stock will rise." Yang Yiwei said to Bill Gates with a smile.

Bill Gates smiled: "The stock of Xingnuo Communications has risen even more, and your net worth has increased much faster than mine." "Don't worry, Mr. Gates, the market value of Starfall Group is estimated to exceed everyone's imagination." Yang Yiwei shrugged his shoulders and was not modest, because it was a fact.

"Well, I believe it, so when I heard that someone was buying shares in the market, I bought another two percent of the shares of Xingnuo Communications, which was all my working capital." Bill Gates shrugged his shoulders. Yang Yiwei grinned, who said that Bill and these people don't understand the stock market?

Xiaoxi is now using the shares of Xingshen Group to reverse the acquisition of how many shares Yang Yiwei does not know, but Yang Yiwei understands that it is estimated that it is absolutely impossible to acquire the original share of shares, and it is already the top of the sky to be able to buy back 15%.

When he left Seattle, Yang Yiwei not only gained a contract with Microsoft, but at least Bill Gates asked for a villa, which is a living publicity, anything can form a circle, especially like Yang Yiwei, Bill Gates, these top rich circles, everyone does business is not like some small and medium-sized companies, when there is business, come to the door to talk about business, like the circle of these top rich people, many businesses may be just a casual conversation, and some may even be a whim.

Yang Yiwei has talked a lot with Bill in the past few days, to be honest, Yang Yiwei has always felt that Bill Gates is like a technician and a businessman, whether it is Bill Gates's autobiography or something else, Yang Yiwei feels that he is more a technician than a businessman, but in the past few days of conversation, Yang Yiwei knows that the background of people like Bill is indeed not comparable to Yang Yiwei, a person who has just stepped into this field for a long time.

And Yang Yiwei also began to understand that there are so many consortia in Western countries, so to speak, these consortia are also an inevitable process of formation, or an inevitable process of wealth accumulation, as wealth increases, you have to hide something, or convert some wealth into some reasonable, not easy to get into trouble. It's not a matter of saying that you can't get rich for three generations, and these consortia like the West are very good at avoiding this result.

Why is there only one Rockefeller name on the world's richest list? But Rockefeller still has a terrifying influence in the United States, are they out of money? Absolutely not, this is the benefit of a circle, when you have a huge circle, you will find that many of your things will be covered up by someone, and you can form an alliance between you, it does not mean that there is no competition between you, how to say? It's more like the aristocratic class in feudal society, when someone moves the interests of one of the nobles, it is equivalent to moving the interests of the entire class.

Therefore, the interests of these people can be protected to the greatest extent! And Yang Yiwei lacks such a circle now, but the domestic environment is almost impossible to allow such a class to appear, but more in the form of a family, through marriage and other ways to connect each other to become a bond.

"What are you thinking?" Xiaoxi had been pondering after seeing Yang Yiwei get on the plane, and asked curiously.

"Nope." Yang Yiwei shook his head slightly, and then spoke: "I suddenly feel that it is very difficult for you to do a pure thing in this world. ”

"It's not that hard." Xiao Xi looked at Yang Yiwei thoughtfully, and then said with a smile. "I think it's too early for you to think about this, when you have enough heritage, this heritage is not how much money you have, but how much influence you have, when you have enough influence, you will have these things, so, I think, you should think about what kind of benefits you will give to the players of your future company now."

"Player benefits?" Yang Yiwei was stunned. (To be continued.) )
