Chapter 138: Cooperate in a Different Way
Fang Ping took out his mobile phone and looked at it, the caller ID was Chen Tianqiao of Shengda Network, and he was a little surprised. But without much thought, the phone was connected.
"Senior Brother Fang Ping, are you in the company? Do you have time to come out for a meal and get together? ”
As soon as the phone was connected, Mr. Chen's voice came from the other end.
Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, almost instinctively thinking that Mr. Chen had something to ask for, and it just so happened that he also wanted to talk to Mr. Chen about the agency of Warcraft Huaguo.
So he didn't refuse, looked at the time, and said, "Okay!" Where to eat? You set a place, I'll go! ”
"I'm downstairs in your company, come down!" Said on the other end of the phone.
Fang Ping was even more sure of his guess, and said with a smile: "Okay, you wait a while, I'll go down immediately!" ”
Hanging up the phone, Fang Ping walked out of the office, said hello to the administrative director Tong Min, and took the elevator straight downstairs and walked out of the building lobby.
"Senior Brother Fang Ping, get in the car!"
As soon as he walked outside the building, Fang Ping saw a parked Passat open the window, revealing Mr. Chen's face, and beckoned.
Fang Ping walked to the front of the car, opened the back seat door, got into the car, closed the car door casually, looked at Mr. Chen who was sitting next to him, and said tentatively as if jokingly: "Senior Chen, what are you thinking about today, invite me to dinner?" Can I help you? ”
"You have to have something to say before I can invite you to dinner! As a senior, I want to get together with my junior and chat! After Mr. Chen instructed the driver to drive, he pretended to be unhappy.
"Just eating and chatting, of course!"
Fang Ping joked: "It's just that I'm afraid that the senior will dig a pit and put me in!" ”
"Senior Brother Fang Ping, you have wronged me! I'm the kind of person who digs holes and buries people! Mr. Chen called Qu Dao.
Fang Ping didn't speak, just looked at Mr. Chen quietly.
Mr. Chen was uncomfortable when he was looked at, and immediately changed his tone and said with a wry smile: "Senior Brother Fang Ping, if I don't look at your face, I really think of you as an old fox who has been crisscrossing the mall for many years!" ”
"Alright! I'll admit that I'm having something to do and would like to ask you for a favor. But when I invite you to dinner, I mean it well! ”
"What's the matter? As long as I can help, I will help! Fang Ping automatically ignored Mr. Chen's words, leaving only the sentence that he had something to ask for his help, and said with a smile.
Mr. Chen waved his hand: "This is not in a hurry, I will talk about it when I eat!" ”
Although Fang Ping wanted to talk to Mr. Chen about the agency of Warcraft Huaguo, he was not in a hurry, nodded, changed the topic and exchanged greetings with Mr. Chen, and chatted.
Not long after, Mr. Chen's car came to a stop in front of a high-end restaurant.
Under the leadership of Mr. Chen, Fang Ping entered the luxurious private room of the restaurant and ordered food.
During this period, because Mr. Chen did not take the initiative to find himself, Fang Ping also kept his mouth shut, and his attention was either on eating, or greeting Mr. Chen from all over the world, as if it was really for dinner.
Soon, after three rounds of drinking, Mr. Chen suddenly said: "Senior Brother Fang Ping, I heard that Weilai Mall is your company?" ”
"The senior is very well-informed! That's all for you to know! Fang Ping raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Is it really yours?"
Mr. Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Fang Ping, I really envy you!" ”
"Envy me?" Fang Ping put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with paper, and said in surprise.
"Of course I envy you!"
Mr. Chen said seriously: "You see that you founded the behemoth of future technology at a young age. Not only has it become a social giant in China, but it has also become a boom abroad! ”
"And I also heard that even Weilai Mall, which has recently become popular all over the country, set a record for e-commerce sales, and made more than 30 billion sales a day, was also founded by you!"
"Spanning the two major fields of Internet social networking and e-commerce, they are all leading enterprises."
"And me! The Shengda Network, which was founded with great hard work, is far inferior to any of your newly established companies in terms of scale and valuation. ”
"You say, why don't I envy you!"
"Senior Chen, you are humble!" Fang Ping shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who doesn't know that your Shengda Network is the enterprise with the most game users in the world. ”
"The monthly turnover is more than 100 million. And my company is still burning money, and there is no comparison at all! ”
Mr. Chen waved his hand: "Wherever I am, I'm still going to point to you to eat!" ”
Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, knowing that the meat drama was coming, he asked rhetorically, "Senior Chen, where did you start with this?" ”
"Alright! Since you asked, junior brother, then I won't hide it from you! ”
Mr. Chen said seriously: "I want to reach a consensus with Fang Ping's junior brother to make Shengda Network and the company under your name a strategic partnership!" ”
"How?" Fang Ping's expression moved slightly, and he said with a smile.
"I hope that Shengda Network and Future Technology under your name will further deepen the cooperative relationship in terms of capital and business. For example, I exchanged Shengda Network shares for Future Technology shares. Cross-shareholding is formed. ”
Mr. Chen said solemnly: "At the same time, I vigorously promote Future Space on all platforms under Shengda Network, and Future Space also promotes Shengda Network's games. ”
Fang Ping suddenly realized for a while, and finally understood Mr. Chen's plan.
Mr. Chen's fundamental purpose is to advertise the games of Shengda Network in the future space and import traffic.
And the so-called strategic partnership is just a smoke bomb thrown by Mr. Chen.
Because Mr. Chen knew that it was impossible for him to release the shares of Future Technology, and the current Future Space had not opened an advertising business to the outside world, but only placed advertisements in the Weilai Mall and imported traffic in the advertising warm-up stage of Weilai Mall.
So at the beginning, such a smoke bomb was thrown.
It is best to be able to talk. If you can't talk about it, you can settle for the next best thing and turn directly to the matter of advertising in the future space.
Thinking of this, Fang Ping picked up the water cup, took a sip of water, and said slowly: "Senior Chen, why did you suddenly remember that you want to reach a strategic partnership with my future technology?" ”
"It's not a sudden thought, but a long time ago, I thought about it!" Mr. Chen opened his eyes and said nonsense.
To be honest, he really didn't think about cross-holding and reaching a strategic partnership with Fangping's Future Technology.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't.
Because the volume of future technology is too large.
He once heard a friend say that the valuation of future technology by international investment banks is as high as tens of billions of dollars. And the valuation of his own Shengda network is only about 100 million US dollars.
The two companies are not on the same level at all.
Let's not talk about whether Fang Ping is willing to cross-sharehold, even if he is willing, with the size of Shengda Network, he must take out at least 20% of the shares in order to exchange for a point of shares in Future Technology.
This share, in the future, science and technology is not even qualified to speak, what is the use of coming?
The reason why he threw out the statement of cross-shareholding and forming a strategic partnership is mainly to advertise and import traffic in the future space.
In the past, Future Space has not been open to the public for advertising business, and he can't help it if he has the heart. But now it is different, and there are advertisements for NIO Mall in the future space.
Moreover, with its own traffic, Weilai Mall has been pushed to the leading position of e-commerce, creating a sales miracle of more than 30 billion yuan a day.
What does this mean, it shows that the advertising intensity of the future space is very amazing.
Once Shengda Network can advertise in the future space and promote its games, it will also multiply the performance of Shengda Network's games. And there is also an opportunity to use the future space to let Shengda Network go to sea.
Especially now that Shengda Network is seeking to go public, if it reaches cooperation with Future Space before listing, it will allow Shengda Network to get more chips and negotiate with the capital market.
Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, glanced at Mr. Chen deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Chen, I agree with your strategic partner idea. But it needs to be done differently! ”
"Uh, in what way?" Mr. Chen was stunned.
Fang Ping replied, "Mr. Chen, do you know the Warcraft under Blizzard?" ”
"Of course you know, Blizzard is an internationally renowned game development company, and its Warcraft and other games are popular games all over the world!"
Mr. Chen nodded, and said suspiciously: "But this, does it have anything to do with what you said about another way to reach a strategic partnership?" ”
Fang Ping said lightly: "Blizzard is now a subsidiary of my Future Technology!" ”
"What, you bought Blizzard?"
Mr. Chen's eyes widened, his face was incredulous, he never expected that Blizzard, a famous game company, would be acquired by Fang Ping.
He knows Blizzard's place in the gaming industry.
If Blizzard is a grandparent in the game industry, then Shengda Network can only be regarded as a grandchild.
Moreover, almost all of the games developed by Blizzard are super-first-class boutique games, far from being the legends and other games operated by Shengda Network, which can be compared.
The most important thing is that Blizzard's value is not low at all, at least hundreds of millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of RMB.
Not everyone can come up with such a large sum of money to buy Blizzard!
At least if you sell Shengda Network, you can't get such a big sum of money!
Fang Ping nodded: "Yes, in September, Future Technology has already wholly acquired Blizzard!" ”
"Senior Brother Fang Ping, you are really rich!" Mr. Chen sighed.
Fang Ping didn't answer this stubble, and said: "Mr. Chen, since you know about Warcraft, then I won't hide it from you." Blizzard has secretly developed World of Warcraft, which will be available next year! ”
"And the power of Warcraft's Huaguo agency is in my hands. So I'm ready to use Warcraft agency to invest in your Shengda network, so as to reach a strategic partnership! ”
"I admit that Warcraft is an excellent game, but if you want to use a game agency to eat the shares of Shengda Network, isn't it inappropriate?" Mr. Chen frowned.
Fang Ping shrugged: "This can be discussed." If you don't think the agency of Warcraft is enough, I can also add cash to take shares! ”
"How much are you going to want..."
As soon as Mr. Chen subconsciously asked, he immediately reacted and glared: "Did you have this plan for a long time?" Just waiting for me to jump into the pit! ”
