Chapter 104: Xiang Xin. Collect protection fees in vain
Cao Guowei saw Wu Yue sitting next to him calmly, without a trace of discomfort, and nodded secretly.
New. Lang is one of the four major domestic portals, with a market value of more than two billion US dollars, and he is at the helm of this giant ship. Many people would be a little restrained when they saw him, but Wu Yue completely treated him like an ordinary person.
But thinking about Wu Yue's attitude towards $100 million, he was relieved.
He came from the capital to see Wu Yue, and a considerable part of the reason was Wu Yue's arrogance.
Throughout China, there are not many people with this kind of heroism, and there are even fewer people in their twenties who have this kind of heroism.
Wu Yue felt Cao Guowei's gaze and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao came here this time for the gambling matter?" ”
Cao Guowei said with a smile: "There are considerations in this regard, and I also want to know you, a young man who has not been a hitter for ten years, and has become a blockbuster." ”
If he hadn't been reborn, Wu Yue might have been a small accomplished investor for the rest of his life, but rebirth made him suddenly shine.
Wu Yue naturally couldn't say that it was because of his rebirth, and said with a smile: "I'm not a genius, it's just that after getting in touch with the financial market, I found that I have some talent in finance." ”
Cao Guowei also agrees with Wu Yue's statement, many people only become blockbusters after finding the field they are good at, they are not supernatural, but they have amazing talent in a certain field.
"You are too modest, to be able to make tens of millions in a month with hundreds of thousands, this is not some talent, but an amazing talent."
Wu Yue said with a smile: "I also helped people invest some, and after making a profit, I will have my commission, just my hundreds of thousands, I can't make tens of millions in a month." ”
"That's pretty good, too."
Cao Guowei said with a smile: "But what surprises me even more is your arrogance in spending money, you have such courage at a young age, I think it won't take a few years, we will have to look up to you." ”
Wu Yue shook his head and said: "Many people on the Internet say that I am a loser, I earn fast and lose faster, and I may have to go to a new one when the time comes. Lang applied for it. ”
Cao Guowei smiled: "We can't afford to hire you, one mouth is 100 million US dollars." New. Lang all the family resources can't afford to toss you a few times. ”
Wu Yue saw Cao Guowei say this, and said with a smile: "100 million US dollars is not much, as long as it is developed properly, within three years, the new . Lang's meager market value can exceed $3 billion. ”
New at this time. The market value of Lang is only more than two billion, and Cao Guowei heard that the meager market value in three years can exceed that of Xin. The market value of all the existing businesses in Lang can't help but show a little doubt.
Wu Yue said with a smile: "The meager development of domestic enterprises should have seen the success of Twitter in the United States, right?" ”
Cao Guowei nodded and said: "There is no doubt about this, but Twitter's market value this year is only one billion dollars." ”
Wu Yue also checked Twitter's market capitalization, but he remembered that Twitter's market value was already $40 billion when he was reborn. Lang Weimeager had raised money from Alibaba in 2013, and Alibaba gave the new . Lang's meager valuation is more than $3 billion.
With his push, **meager will definitely be able to reach that scale faster.
Wu Yue said with a smile: "If we reach the previous VAM agreement, we can make another VAM, on January 1, 2013, I have the right to acquire the new . The waves are meager if new. If Lang wants to take back this right, he will need to pay me $500 million. Again, if by then I don't want to acquire a new one. The waves are meager, but also to the new. Waste pay $500 million. Before December 31, 2010, I have to prove that I have US$500 million, otherwise the bet will be invalid, what about it? ”
Cao Guowei looked at Wu Yue stupidly and said, "You can make 500 million US dollars next year?" ”
Wu Yue nodded and said, "If nothing else, there should be no problem." ”
"Huh."
Cao Guowei couldn't help but smile and said: "If you really make 500 million US dollars next year, how can I doubt your vision and bet against you again." ”
Wu Yue said earnestly: "No, no, your business is different from our investment. You want to lock in profits, and we want to get the most out of them. The prospect of meager profits is uncertain, and you don't know how far you can go to make it small. If you make a bet with me, even if it doesn't work out, by 2013 you can sell me for two billion dollars, or get my $500 million in compensation. If the meager market value is more than $2.5 billion, you can just pay me $500 million. This VAM agreement should be difficult for you to refuse as a business. ”
The VAM used by Wu Yue is not a VAM method that Huaxia enterprises are often pitted, and the VAM between Huaxia enterprises and foreign investment banks is generally a foreign investment bank that invests in a Huaxia enterprise, and then the Huaxia enterprise will make a profit in the next few years. If this is not possible, the foreign investment bank has the right to continue to buy the Chinese investment bank, or the Chinese investment bank must recoup the shares of the foreign investment bank at a high price.
Wu Yue invests himself and can get more returns, so he is reluctant to invest in Xin. Lang is meager, but just to make such a bet without any investment in the early stage, as long as it is proved that he has 500 million US dollars.
Cao Guowei nodded and said: "I am indeed quite tempted, but this VAM agreement is based on the success of the previous VAM agreement. If I'm not mistaken, whichever one makes the first bet with you, you will make the second bet with him. ”
Wu Yue didn't deny this, and said with a smile: "Yes, to put it mildly, which one gets me, as long as it is properly promoted, the meager market in Huaxia is his." Although Huaxia is big, there can only be one big one. If I go to Sohu, I dare to bet that in three years, Sohu's meager market value will exceed $2 billion, but I don't dare to bet on whether your meager market value will be $500 million by then. ”
It seems that it was really Sohu who contacted Wu Yue.
Sohu is also following the new in the meager business. Cao Guowei, the portal with the tightest waves, has received news that Sohu Meager is about to start internal testing.
Cao Guowei thought he had guessed something, and said with a smile: "Winner takes all, I also agree with this." However, Sohu has not yet been publicly tested, and by the time he has opened the beta, perhaps our users have exceeded 10 million. ”
Wu Yue smiled: "I don't deny this, but if I go to Sohu, I should be able to transfer millions of people to Sohu." The two are on the same starting line, and I still have some activities to let Sohu surpass the new. Waves shouldn't be a difficult thing. ”
Cao Guowei heard that there were activities behind Wu Yue, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, what he was afraid of was that Wu Yue still had some ideas, and a good idea was enough to change the market pattern.
"The policy risks faced by the meager itself are very great, and your activities are so radical, I am afraid that your activities will not be able to help Sohu surpass us, but will make the entire meager market blocked by the government."
Wu Yue said with a smile: "From the handling of my activities by the relevant departments, it can be seen that the government is no longer blindly blocking meager development. And my activities in the future will not be so intense, and I don't have to worry about the government banning me at all. ”
Cao Guowei was completely moved when he heard that Wu Yue's activities were no longer intense, and he came this time mainly to see if there were any plans for Wu Yue to be promoted, as well as Wu Yue's views on the meager future.
Now that Wu Yue is willing to bet on the meager market value in three years, and there is a new promotion plan, he has agreed to bet in his heart.
Cao Guowei said helplessly: "In the past, I also thought that it was a fantasy to let the meager users reach 50 million within a year, but after looking at the recent growth of meager users, I no longer doubt that the meager users can reach 50 million within a year." As the user base grows, the number of new users will also accelerate. Now your bet is a bit like collecting protection money! ”
Wu Yue smiled: "If it weren't for me, Xin. The number of meager users is a little more than one million now, and there should be at least more than seven million now. ”
"Yes, but the growth rate has been down since yesterday. On Tuesday your followers increased by 1.5 million, on Wednesday your followers increased by 1.3 million, and on Thursday your followers increased by only more than 900,000. ”
Cao Guowei wanted to exaggerate the number of meager users, so that Wu Yue would know that the proportion of his fans was not high, but the meager number of users had just exceeded one million at the beginning of this month, and he didn't have the face to say much.
Wu Yue said with a smile: "The climax of anti-corruption activities has passed, and it is normal to decline. Of the more than 7 million users, nearly 6 million are my fans, and it's normal to charge you some protection money. The most important thing is that Sohu and NetEase can be nothing but meager, but you are new. Waves cannot be without meager. Your income mainly comes from advertising, and in less than a year, meager will replace thin customers, and then you will not have meager, and your existing business will shrink significantly, so you can only bet against me. ”
Cao Guowei shook his head and said: "You don't behave like a junior at all, you're too old and spicy, if you enter the business world, I'm afraid we will all have to go home to retire." I'll pay this protection fee, but you should know about it. Lang's equity is very dispersed, $100 million to the new. It's also a big expense. If you can lower the bet a bit, I'll be more confident that the board will approve it. ”
Wu Yue said with a smile: "Although Mr. Cao's shares are small, Mr. Cao's shares are new. The prestige of the waves, coupled with the meager pair of the new. The importance of waves, I'm sure the other directors would agree with this bet. Since it's a protection fee, we don't have to bargain. 100 million US dollars, in fact, I really don't think about it, I just want you capitalists to take some money out for charity. ”
Cao Guowei said helplessly: "Then this 100 million dollars can make us new. Lang is also named to help us establish a brand image. ”
Wu Yue thought for a moment and said, "You can name it with me, but you can't meddle in the affairs of the foundation, I will use all this money as soon as possible." ”
Cao Guowei has no opinion on this, only by donating the money quickly can his brand be promoted to the greatest extent, and Wu Yue is so strong, he can only accept it.
