Chapter Seventy-Three: Entering Mars to Read
Zhou Qing took Linghu Rouyin to the mall to buy a normal outfit to change out of the bunny girl outfit, and then took him to the place where he made an appointment with Fan Yong, a business café.
By the time Zhou Qing arrived at the agreed box, Fan Yong had already arrived in advance.
The other party is in his early thirties, medium size, and his dress is relatively ordinary.
"Hello Mr. Fan, I'm Zhou Qing!"
"Mr. Zhou is so young, he is really young and promising!"
Zhou Qing smiled: "Mr. Fan, you are not bad. ”
After a brief greeting between the two sides, they each sat down, and Ling Hu Rouyin sat down next to Zhou Qing like a little transparent.
Straight to the point, Zhou Qing took the first step to speak: "Mr. Fan, I don't like to beat around the bush, I have prepared two plans today, I don't know if Mr. Fan is interested in hearing it!" ”
Fan Yong smiled politely: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I really don't have the idea of selling Mars Reading!" ”
Zhou Qing had expected this, so he was not surprised: "Since they are already here, Mr. Fan might as well listen to my conditions, anyway, there won't be much time wasted!" ”
"Mr. Zhou, please speak!" Fan Yong nodded.
Zhou Qing said in a deep voice: "According to our estimate, the market price of Mars Reading Network is around 33 million, right?" ”
Hearing this, Fan Yong nodded and said meaningfully: "It should be lower, but I am very optimistic about the prospects of e-reading in the future!" ”
"Mr. Fan has a good eye!"
Zhou Qing praised: "My first plan is that Mr. Fan will package and sell Mars Reading to me, I bid 66 million, as long as I sign the contract, I can pay 10 million immediately, and after the handover is completed, I will pay the balance within three days!" ”
In the face of this double premium, it is undeniable that Fan Yong was moved, he created Mars Reading with two million, and in three years, he achieved a market price of more than 30 million Mars Reading.
But the market price is the market price, and it has nothing to do with profits, so his annual income is not much, and it will not exceed two million.
Moreover, Mars reading has now hit a bottleneck.
Mars Reading started with science fiction, but science fiction has never been the mainstream, and now, Mars reading has encountered a bottleneck, and it is difficult to go further.
Therefore, he has consciously asked his editors to sign more other types of authors.
Unfortunately, other types of excellent authors have been snare under the Dream Chinese Network, unless they spend a lot of money to poach people, otherwise, even if they transform, Mars Reading will only be thrown farther and farther by Dream Chinese Network.
And poaching people requires a lot of investment.
Mars Reading has been open for three years, and he has not made much money, so he has become a little powerless in investing funds.
To be honest, Fan Yong was really excited about the price of 66 million, but he didn't want to hand over the website, after all, this was his hard work for several years.
In the end, he said in an unusually difficult tone: "I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, I can't agree!" ”
In this regard, Zhou Qing did not get angry but said with a smile: "Very good, Mr. Fan, then, you can listen to my second plan!" ”
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, please speak!"
Zhou Qingdao: "My second plan is that Mr. Fan will sell me 60% of the shares of Mars Reading at a price of 10 million!" ”
Hearing Zhou Qing's second plan, Fan Yong couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly reacted, the other party's words should not have finished yet, but he waited for a while, Zhou Qing still didn't mean to speak, he couldn't help asking, "No?" ”
"Yes, there are no other conditions!" Zhou Qing nodded.
"Mr. Zhou, is this playing tricks on me?" Fan Yong was a little annoyed.
Zhou Qing smiled and said very confidently: "Mr. Fan is a little restless, if Mr. Fan sells me 60% of the shares at a price of 10 million, you will definitely get more in the future than now, with all due respect, the current Mars reading has reached a bottleneck period, science fiction is a niche after all, Mars reading wants to continue to expand, it can only be transformed, and transformation requires a lot of investment, Mr. Fan should not have much capital investment, but if I become the master of Mars Reading, there will definitely be no shortage of funds, secondly, I can bring Mars a batch of excellent works to read! ”
"Oh, it seems that Mr. Zhou is very confident!"
Although Fan Yong agreed with Zhou Qing's words very much, he was still a little convinced.
Zhou Qing said again: "For the future of e-reading, I have also made a plan for the development direction of Mars reading, but this requires me to enter Mars Reading to tell Mr. Fan, as for the present, Mr. Fan knows the author of "Zhu Xian", Bull Demon King, right?" ”
"Could it be that Mr. Zhou is sure to sign the Bull Demon King?" Fan Yong said with some surprise, he has been asking his editors to contact the Bull Demon King these days, but unfortunately there has been no news.
Zhou Qing said: "The author of the Immortal, the Bull Demon King, will go to court with the Dream Chinese Network next Monday, and the chance of winning is more than ninety percent, and then, he will propose to terminate the contract with the Dream Chinese Network, and then the two books "The Immortal" and "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" can be signed into Mars to read!"
As an industry insider, Fan Yong should be quite aware of the potential of these two books, "Zhu Xian" has been on the shelves for less than a month, and the average has exceeded 40,000, although "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" has not been put on the shelves, but from various data, after being put on the shelves, even if the results are not as good as "Zhu Xian", it is not much worse, the most important thing is that these two books have accumulated popularity, once they come to Mars to read, the traffic brought to Mars to read will definitely not be bad!
In fact, the most important thing is that "Zhu Xian" created the Xianxia category, and "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" created the national art category, if these two books come to Mars to read, when other authors mention these two books in the future, they will think of Mars reading, which can be regarded as enhancing the reputation of Mars reading.
In fact, the main thing is that I have three books in my hands that are no less than the quality of these two books. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Qing stopped talking, while Fan Yong fell into deep thought.
After a while, Fan Yong finally spoke: "Mr. Zhou, if I rejected you, would you do it?" ”
Zhou Qing shrugged indifferently: "It's very simple, reopen a website!" However, I am lazy, and it is very troublesome to re-do a website, so I still tend to cooperate with Mr. Fan, and after I enter Mars to read, I will not directly manage the company, if Mr. Fan agrees, the management of the company is still up to you! ”
"Okay, I promise you!" Fan Yong gritted his teeth and said.
"Mr. Fan, you won't regret your decision today!" Zhou Qing smiled and withdrew his hand.
"Welcome Mr. Zhou to Mars Reading!" Fan Yong also had a smile on his face.
Next, the two sides negotiated the transfer of shares and initialed an agreement, and seeing that it was about to be noon, Fan Yong proposed to invite Zhou Qing to dinner.
Zhou Qing naturally would not refuse.
During the dinner, Fan Yong asked, "What does Brother Zhou think about the future of e-reading?" ”
"The future of e-reading is on mobile phones!"
Zhou Qing said without hesitation.
"Cell phone?"
Fan Yong was a little puzzled.
Zhou Qing explained: "Electronic products have always been the fastest generation, mobile phones are the same, in the future, mobile phones are the world of smart phones, and the future of smart phones has not been weaker than the function of computers, and it is more convenient to carry, since you can use mobile phones to read books anytime and anywhere, why use computers?" ”
Hearing Zhou Qing say this, Fan Yong suddenly brightened.
"What is the brother going to do?"
"Develop a reading APP, and then directly with the mobile phone manufacturer, for installation, if the mobile phone sold, there is our Mars reading APP, at that time, we are afraid that there will be no users?"
Hearing Zhou Qing say this, Fan Yong couldn't help but applaud: "God! Brother, you don't know how long your head is, but you can even think of such a creative idea, if we can install 10 million mobile phones, even if only one-tenth of the conversion, we can have millions more users! ”
You know, in Mars reading, the highest subscription to a book, the average subscription is only in the early 10,000s, if there are more than a million users, then the subscription of Mars reading must enter the skyrocketing stage, of course, the premise is that there are many good books, and the type can not be less.
Zhou Qing said again: "In fact, we can make the reading app a platform, isn't Dream Chinese Network a monopoly?" We can cooperate with other websites to sell their books on our APP, which not only solves the problem of fewer books and fewer types, but also occasionally attracts other websites, at that time, what can Dream Chinese Network be? ”
Hearing this, Fan Yong was completely convinced by Zhou Qing, and at the same time he was glad that he was abnormal, fortunately he agreed to Zhou Qing to enter Mars Reading, otherwise, when he opened a new website, I am afraid that Mars Reading would become his first target, and at that time, he really didn't have confidence in how long he could last.
