Chapter 77: Jointly Hosting an Esports Tournament!

On the second day, Zuckerberg continued to meet Zhong Zixing at his private residence, following yesterday's negotiations.

"Star, yesterday I brought your words back to Facebook headquarters for a meeting, although it was tempting, we still feel that the biggest party to occupy the interest is your neutron star!"

No matter from which point of view, cooperating with the rapidly rising Facebook, the strategy of Neutron Star Pan Entertainment Group will accelerate its formation, and Facebook does have benefits, but what it gets is invisible benefits, and it is obviously not as direct as Neutron Star.

For companies in Silicon Valley, negotiations are unlikely to succeed if the benefits cannot be distributed in a relatively balanced manner.

Zach bit very this bottom line, and he didn't mean to let go at all.

If you don't come up with impressive cooperation chips, no matter how beautiful the future expectations are, they still can't make people move.

"Are Silicon Valley tech companies starting to learn the bad habits of the Wall Street crowd? Mark! Zhong Zixing shook his head, and his answer had already been predicted.

"Your Neutron Star's technology is indeed excellent, especially in cloud computing, databases, and artificial intelligence, which are far ahead in the world...... How about this proposal? Zuckerberg smiled and pushed over a temporary printout.

Zhong Zixing took the document suspiciously, took a cursory glance, and closed it directly with a frown.

The document says that all the platforms of Neutron Star Pan Entertainment Group need to be handed over to Facebook agents, and they pay a price of $130 million a year, and all revenues will account for 30%!

What is the difference between this type of cooperation and Apple's Apple tax? Even if you pay $130 million, you can still make a lot of money.

The only difference is that Apple doesn't consult with you and directly sets the rules.

After all, they have core technology, and they are still the kind that cannot be missing.

"Mark, there is no sincerity in Facebook's cooperation agreement, you must know that we are not the only partners of you, Facebook is just one of the candidates!" Zhong Zixing sneered and stood up suddenly.

Unequal contracts are non-negotiable, how can you really pay 30% of the price, presumably all the big tech companies in the world will agree to cooperate, and at this time Facebook is not very powerful, and even competitors have not suppressed it.

In other words, Neutron Star has a choice, but Facebook does not.

"Don't be angry, Star! The matter has not yet been decided...... Then you say, what can Neutron Star Pan Entertainment Group give? No cost at all, no one will cooperate with you! ”

"I will never agree to this kind of agreement......" Zhong Zixing sat down again and thought for a moment.

"Our company has a game called Honor of Kings, I don't know if you've heard of it!"

"Of course, people who pay attention to Neutron Star Technology have basically heard that the main profit of its pan-entertainment group is games and advertising, and in the game, the glory of kings occupies a large proportion!" Zuckerberg spread his hands, "What do you suddenly say this game does?" ”

Zhong Zixing said in a hurry, "I want to host an e-sports league in China, and now that Facebook has joined, how about we host global competitions together?" ”

The foreign e-sports environment is far more than that of China, whether it is attention or support, hosting e-sports leagues is not only beneficial, but also can gain great popularity and popularity.

Not only that, but it can also drive the construction of data network infrastructure, the rapid development of network factories, electronic equipment and other fields, and a small amount of GDP growth!

Once this industry takes shape, it will provide at least hundreds of thousands of jobs!

This is no joke, because even a decade later, China's esports industry is still facing a shortage of talent.

Teng Xun did a survey, as far as China is concerned, the e-sports industry has developed rapidly for several years, and there is still a lack of more than 200,000 professional staff close to 300,000.

"If the competition is hosted together, the offline benefits generated will be shared ......"

"Esports competitions?" Zuckerberg touched his chin, a little moved.

This proposal will undoubtedly bring huge benefits to Facebook as well, and if agreed, it is really a win-win.

"Star, I can't give you an answer right away, I still need to continue to discuss with the company!"

Many companies can't negotiate cooperation for ten days and a half, so the profession of professional negotiator will be derived.

But Zhong Zixing didn't want to wait any longer, his time shouldn't be wasted in this kind of place: "Mark, don't pretend, although you don't have an absolute controlling stake in Facebook, you have far more power to speak than the shares in your hand, as long as you nod your head, your company's executives will agree!" ”

This is not a lie, Zuckerberg has always been reluctant to delegate power in Facebook, and he has to do everything himself.

Any executive who disagrees with him will be kicked out of the company by any means he will find a way to get out of the company, even the co-founders.

So much so that later, he caused dissatisfaction among the top management of the entire company, and sued Zach for dictatorship several times.

In the final analysis, he is a dictator who is different from Zhong Zixing.

Before the financing of Zhongzixing Pan Entertainment Group, Zhong Zixing had begun to gradually delegate power to Pan Entertainment Group, intending to let Li Donghui take over his position in Pan Entertainment Group, and he would go to the Technology Group himself.

Even if he holds all the shares of the technology group in his hand, the fundamental reason why he does this is that he wants to invest all the repatriated funds in scientific research, and he does not need to report to anyone.

Every employee of a tech group can have their own ideas, and the way the company is managed speaks for itself.

In addition to completing their work, everyone can go out to eat, drink and have fun, and even apply for R&D funds from the above to research what they are interested in.

Neutron Star Technology Group is very liberal and has few managers, while Facenook is the complete opposite.

......

Zhong Zixing has already begun to be impatient with this negotiation: "**** I think you should have seen the news announced the day before yesterday, Mark?" ”

"The financial tsunami caused by the subprime mortgage crisis will continue, and it will take at least one to two years for the Dow Jones to fully recover its pre-crisis levels, perhaps until 11 years!"

"At this time, if Facebook wants to boost the confidence of its employees, users and investors, it must announce its major plans to the outside world, so that people can see that not only are you not in recession, but you are stronger and will not be crushed by the financial crisis!"

Zuckerberg nodded, listening intently.

Zhong Zixing said: "So, I think hosting the e-sports league together will definitely bring great help to Facebook, do you think?" ”

"Makes sense......" Zach began to muse.

Facebook is not without alternatives, there are still competitors in the market, and there are more than one.

How to take down the competition? Of course, it is to enhance the influence of the industry.

"Well, cunning Star! You've managed to convince me......" Zach shook his head helplessly and held out a hand.

"Then let's work together happily!"
