No matter how greedy Cui Zhengyuan is for YouTube, it is impossible to reveal his true thoughts at this stage of initial contact.

What's more, Chen Shijun's urgency at this time proves how eager the other party is for funds. In such a situation, Cui Zhengyuan does not take the opportunity to ask for a price, let alone when.

"Mr. Chen, I have already read your Jihua book. To be honest, online videos aren't much of a great jishu. Now there are many video websites on the Internet, I don't know what you rely on to attract users and gain a foothold? Cui Zhengyuan started the inquiry from the perspective of an investor.

Hearing that someone questioned his work, Chen Shijun was really anxious.

At this time, he was still a student who started a business in college, and he was far from the ability and insight to grow into a well-known entrepreneur in the IT industry, and the city government was far behind.

"Mr. Cui, since we dare to come up with this plan, it shows that we are competitive. First of all, our website supports all formats of videos, as long as they do not exceed 2G or 15 minutes of video clips, any user can upload them for free. This alone, no one else can do it now. Chen Shijun's face turned red, and he desperately promoted his products.

It's done!

Looking at Chen Shijun's appearance, Cui Zhengyuan knew that he would definitely be able to make a big deal in the next negotiations.

"I don't know much about the Internet and video, but one thing I'm very confused about is that I don't see where your research has progressed in this plan. IMHO, if you can't get accurate information, don't say that our Green Olive Company will not take orders from any investment bank. Cui Zhengyuan took the plan book and said lightly.

This is his primary concern. The main reason is that this point in time is too weird, three years before YouTube should have appeared.

He didn't believe that Chen Shijun and others would have completed the development now. In that case, the previous life would not have waited until 05 to establish a YouTube company.

"This ......" Chen Shijun and Karim glanced at each other, looking very hesitant.

Cui Zhengyuan's eyes were extremely keen, and he immediately saw that there must be something greasy in it, so he recounted: "Mr. Chen, with all due respect. Now that you're looking for investment, it's time for us to establish a partnership. If you want to work together, mutual trust is the most important foundation. So I want to get the real picture so I can make a proper judgment. ”

He said the truth, doing in the field of investment. If you don't get complete and true information, no one will easily go into the water.

After all, we must be responsible for the capital, and we can't let it go down the drain.

Chen Shijun also knew that he was not wrong, so his face was even more ugly.

In fact, they initially targeted large and well-known international investment firms. Because these companies are strong, they can guarantee a steady stream of capital investment.

But what I didn't expect was that the asking price of these large companies was also ruthless, and as soon as they were exported, they would be wholly owned, otherwise there would be no need to talk about it.

Chen Shijun and several people worked hard to develop YouTube. Now is not the time to bear fruit. If it is wholly acquired at this time, it will not be sold for much money.

After putting in the effort and not getting the reward they deserve, of course they don't do it.

Case. Then there is no need to talk about it.

When they learned about their R&D process, the big investment company simply closed the door to negotiation and let them eat the closed door.

After repeated setbacks, Chen Shijun found Green Olives, a small investment company on Wall Street.

Actually, he knows it. If you can't get investment from here, then you can only sell your property and continue to develop it. That's why they are so cautious, for fear that it will be fruitless again.

He hesitated for a moment. Chen Shijun finally confided the truth. "In fact, less than 30% of this plan has been completed so far. Most of the solutions are still in the lab, but the initial website architecture has already been designed. The issue of video conversion and format compatibility has also been resolved. So please rest assured Mr. Cui, our jihua is completely workable. ”

Of course, Choi Jung-won knows that it will work, otherwise there would not be the advent of the famous YouTube.

The key now is that he has to think about how to get the most benefits according to the content of Chen Shijun's complaint.

YouTube is so critical that you have to be in your own hands to be effective.

He didn't believe that Chen Shijun and the others hadn't gone to find other investment companies, and the reason why Zuihou came to him was that the negotiations with other companies could not meet their requirements. Or maybe it's those investment companies that are asking too much and more than they can afford.

Thinking back to the information of his previous life, Cui Zhengyuan slowly had some clues.

I remember that when YouTube officially became popular, Chen Shijun and others sold it to Google. And in the beginning, they wanted to sell to Yahoo.

But because Yahoo wasn't interested in YouTube, Zuihou chose Google.

This shows that Chen Shijun and others actually regard YouTube as a means of value-added capital, and they are not wholeheartedly entrepreneurial paths.

A key problem is that, according to Chen Shijun, the current YouTube can only be regarded as a prototype. If you let them get rid of it now, it's actually worthless.

From the success of Chen Shijun's bankrupt research and development youtube to zuihou in his previous life, it can be seen that this person has a serious gambling spirit.

In other words, if he is too demanding in terms of ownership now, then he would rather die and not agree.

But Cui Zhengyuan is also afraid that Chen Shijun will be like in his previous life, once YouTube succeeds, he will sell him to others. In that case, there is no point in investing for yourself except to get a lot of money.

In his mind, YouTube is the supreme weapon used to control the direction of Shijie's entertainment industry. With it in hand, his voice in the shijie entertainment industry will expand countless times.

THIS IS WHAT CUI ZHENGYUAN VALUES, AND WHEN IT COMES TO REVENUE, BLIZZARD AND FACEBOOK ARE ENOUGH.

After figuring out the ideas of Chen Shijun and others, he also had a strategy. He asked directly: "If we are responsible for the investment of Green Olives, how much will we pay and what kind of return will we get?" ”

I heard that Cui Zhengyuan expressed his willingness to invest. Chen Shijun and Karim almost cried with joy.

They have been on Wall Street for two months, and today is the first time they have heard someone express their intention to invest.

When the good news came, Chen Shijun hurriedly cheered up and said: "Mr. Cui may not know that the funds required to establish a video website are much more than other websites. The most important thing is that the expansion of the server must be sufficient, otherwise it is easy to paralyze the website. ”

Cui Zhengyuan didn't understand what he said.

In terms of networking, he can also play games and surf the Internet. It's too difficult to build such a high-level ITjishu as a website.

But the moment of truth has come. So Cui Zhengyuan can't show his cowardice. simply shut up and didn't say a word, and sat back and watched Chen Shijun's speech.

The lack of a positive response made Chen Shijun's enthusiasm slightly lower.

He also thought that the person in front of him was an international star and investor, not a practitioner in the IT industry, so he might not understand the difficulty.

It is really unnecessary to play the piano to the cow, so Chen Shijun turned the topic back to investment. "What we mean by this is that your company will pay $3 million in exchange for a 30% stake in the future when the site is built. In this way, if the website is profitable in the future, your company can quickly pay for itself. ”

Listen to what he has to say. It seems that I tried to think about it for the green olive company. But this is not what Cui Zhengyuan wants, Sancheng's shares do not have any say in the management of YouTube.

"I wonder if three million dollars can support the establishment and operation of a video website?" Cui Zhengyuan is not in a hurry. Continue to learn more about the situation.

Chen Shijun didn't expect Cui Zhengyuan's thinking to beat so much, and he didn't care about the future direction of the website, but instead focused on the use of funds.

The accident caused a momentary pause in thinking, as if something was missing. But he couldn't remember it for a short time, so he explained: "Three million words are actually not enough. But we'll raise some of it ourselves. I believe that it should be enough for the current research and development and the initial operation of the website. ”

When Chen Shijun said this, Karim knew that it was going to be bad.

Unlike his partner, Karim's level of online jishu can only be considered average.

The best thing about him is that he has a lot of ideas and brains for business operations, and he is actually the person in charge of website operation.

Chen Shijun's words are equivalent to revealing all his old bottoms, and the next step must be to face the other party's wanton demand.

Sure enough, Cui Zhengyuan immediately hit the snake with the stick, pretending to be arrogant and said: "Mr. Chen doesn't need to be so cautious, so let's do it, our Green Olive Company will invest six million US dollars." In addition, additional investment can be made if needed at a later stage. ”

"Really?" Even Karim is a little unsettled now.

Don't look at the fact that the funds have only doubled, but for Jihua, the website research and development that is currently in trouble, it is definitely a liliang that has turned things around.

With such a large amount of money, it is definitely possible to speed up the development of the website.

It was originally estimated that the R&D jihua by the end of 04 may be able to make the company listed by the beginning of 04.

Karim was still a little shrewd, and felt that it was impossible for Cui Zhengyuan to take the initiative to make additional investment so kindly, so he asked, "Then what are Mr. Cui's conditions?" ”

"I want to be able to adjust the shareholding ratio to 51 percent, which means that I need to have the right to decide the direction of the future management of the website. Of course, Green Olive will not interfere with your normal operations, and only when it comes to deciding on the issue of major ownership of the website, such as if you want to resell, you need our consent. For fear of touching Chen Shijun's sensitive nerves, Cui Zhengyuan also proposed some gentle methods.

Karim intuitively felt that something was wrong, but before he could open his mouth to question it, Chen Shijun directly agreed. "Then it's decided, Mr. Cui, when are we going to sign the contract?"

With a sigh, Karim closed his mouth helplessly.

Chen Shijun is the leader in the affairs of YouTube, and even he is found by Chen Shijun to be in charge of the operation.

As soon as Chrysostom opened his words in the shopping mall, Karim naturally couldn't put forward a rebuttal in person, otherwise Chen Shijun's face would not exist.

Karim's look Cui Zhengyuan naturally noticed it, and he also knew that this unattractive white talent was the biggest help to promote YouTube to glory.

There is nothing to say about this person's talent in business management, and naturally he also saw the inappropriateness in the conditions proposed by Cui Zhengyuan.

finally found a breakthrough from Chen Shijun, Cui Zhengyuan will definitely not let go of such an opportunity. "Now, Bob, get the contract ready."

As an investment company, the intention to reach a contract is always available, and you only need to change the specific terms. So thirty minutes later, in this small conference room, Cui Zhengyuan and Chen Shijun signed their names and seals respectively.

It was a small cooperation agreement, and it was so light when it was signed. But except for Cui Zhengyuan, no one knows what a violent repercussion will be in the near future.

Zuihou, Choi Jung-won made a little request.

That is to ask Chen Shijun and others not to reveal his identity, and the two sides of this cooperation agreement are only a cooperation between YouTube and Green Olive.

For this, Chen Shijun and Karim naturally had nothing to do with it, and they happily agreed. (To be continued......)
