"Again, I'm not just going to be a music website, but also video, Weibo, games, entertainment, and other online domains. It can be said that this is a comprehensive network technology company, and each of its items will be among the best in the industry. Mr. Zhao, I don't know if you have learned about the network before you return to Cloud City. In my opinion, the development of the Internet is an inevitable trend, and in the future, the Internet will reach thousands of households, and netizens will become the most important consumer group in the domestic market. If you don't believe me, you can check how popular Shanda's legendary game is this year, with more than 60 million registrations and an average monthly sales of two or three hundred million yuan. ”

The four shareholders discussed the matter of investing in MP3, and after the meeting, they dispersed. Lin Ming made an appointment with Zhao Bin, sat in the office and talked eloquently, briefly describing to him some of his plans and policies for Mingran Technology, as well as his imagination for the future.

Lin Ming tried to convince him and help him get through the difficulties in front of him.

In 02, it was still in the era of the real industry, and the power of the network had not really been shown, but Xiaohe had only shown its sharp corners, and there were some signs of sprouts.

For example, Brother Sanshi's NetEase was listed abroad in 2000.

There are also Little Pony's penguins, although they are now on the verge of life and death, with no source of income, and several times they are almost on the verge of bankruptcy. But next year, Penguin signed Monternet and entered the SP business market, with 200 million registered people in 2003, a huge foundation. Overnight, the old hen turned into a phoenix, turned over directly and officially took off.

In addition to NetEase and Penguin, Sina, Sohu, and Qiansou have also become brilliant in the past two years.

Even in 2003, NetEase launched a number of popular games, such as Journey to the West, Fantasy Journey to the West, etc., which lasted for more than ten years, directly pushing NetEase boss Sanshi Ge to the throne of the richest man.

So the power of the network, even in 2002, is unquestionable. Its rapid development, in the next ten years, is telling the world that the domestic market of 750 million netizens is by no means just talking. In the future, seizing the mainland market of the Chinese Internet is the only way to seize the economic center of the world.

But Lin Ming knows the future development, but Zhao Bin doesn't know.

Hearing Lin Ming's words, Zhao Bin shook his head and said, "I don't think so, a computer is cheaper than three or four thousand, and it is expensive for tens of thousands." Where can ordinary families afford to spend, although there are a lot of Internet cafes now, but as far as I know, the Internet fee is very expensive, and they all go to the Internet café to play games, who will go to the Internet café to listen to songs and watch movies. ”

This is the normal thinking of people in this era, just like before Ma's father engaged in online shopping, everyone felt that online shopping could not be successful, and the real industry would not decline significantly.

Lin Ming smiled: "You only saw how expensive computers are, but you didn't see that our country's economic strength is soaring." In addition, computers will be updated, systems will run faster, games will be more advanced, and netizens will pay more attention to the quality of life. It's like in the 80s, people's wages were only a few dozen dollars a month, but now if you look at it, even sanitation workers have two or three hundred. In another five or six years, who knows if everyone's salary will be generally two or three thousand a month. At that time, you only need to spend a month's salary to buy a computer and go home. From the Internet, you can connect the world and see a variety of lives. ”

"Now not only the computer network in China, but also the mobile phone has developed network services. As early as the year before last, Mobile developed Montnetsnet. Browse major news portals from your phone and earn data fees directly. Therefore, in the future, mobile phones must also be the main force in the network market, and when the time comes, songs will be downloaded through mobile phones, and the traffic share plus the song download revenue will be shared, and this account can also be calculated. 2G networks have been rolled out across the country, and 3G, 4G, and 5G will not be too far away in the future. Imagine a future where every household will use a computer to access the Internet. What kind of scene is it for everyone to use their mobile phones to watch videos, read novels, and listen to music, and how much profit can be made in this? ”

"So I think the Internet will definitely become an economic center in the future. After all, now the country is also vigorously developing and investing a lot in the economy. Because the country knows very well that the top few countries in the world are already popularizing the Internet, and if they want to keep up with the times, they must keep up with the Internet. ”

Lin Ming described his future network development to Zhao Bin in detail almost thoroughly. It's almost like telling him about the future, but from the perspective of the time, it's a long-term vision.

But Zhao Bin doesn't think so. He said: "Our country's economy is indeed taking off, and from the perspective of the two economic centers of Guangdong Province and Zhonghai, the development is very good. But I think it's only a few coastal provinces in the south that have developed, and it will take many years to extend to the interior. After all, our country is too large, and the speed of development is far from as fast as imagined. Even the development of the economy is still stagnant in a very underdeveloped stage, and it is too whimsical to consider the Internet at this time. You must know that many developed countries only began to popularize the Internet when their economic development reached a very high level. ”

Zhao Bin shook his head and said, "So in my opinion, if what you said is postponed for about twenty years, it is still possible to achieve it." After all, I myself do business in Guangdong Province, and I know the situation there very well, and now that many young people from the mainland are going south to work, it will take a long time for economic entities to move to the mainland. ”

Lin Ming said: "Mr. Zhao, you underestimated the strength of our country. After World War II, the island nation became the world's second largest economy in just over a decade. Since the reform and opening up, our country has undergone drastic changes, and the national GPD has increased by ..... compared with before the reform."

"I know all of that."

Zhao Bin interrupted: "What you said is very reasonable, so let me ask a very critical question." If I invest in your company, how much money I will come up with, how many shares I can take. Or rather, what do you think your company's market capitalization is right now? Hmm~~ plus the condition that I help you contact the media company, how much can I get. ”

"That's it."

When Lin Ming saw Zhao Bin's perfunctory attitude, he knew that he did not believe in the future domestic network power. Instead, he was simply attracted by his previous so-called tens of billions, and after listening to Lin Ming's explanation of the future, it became completely nonsense in his ears. Now I don't even bother to listen, and directly interrupt him to ask key questions.

So Lin Ming didn't bother to continue trying to persuade him, but said: "You give me 5 million investment plus help me contact, and I will give you 10%." ”

"5 million 10%?"

Zhao Bin glanced at him in surprise, and the lion opened his mouth.

In his heart, the future of Mingran Technology is great, and it is only tens of millions of assets. 5 million invested in it, only 10%, in case the future is not good, the value of Mingran Technology is less than 50 million, and if you can't get back the capital, you will have to lose. So this condition, Zhao Bin absolutely can't accept it.

Therefore, he immediately shook his head and denied: "No." ”

Lin Ming was mentally prepared, and said leisurely: "Then there is a second option, I will borrow 1 million from you, plus contact the media company, at the end of this year, I will pay you back 5 million." With a 500 percent return, this deal is not a loss. ”

"A 500% return, that's something to consider."

Zhao Bin held his chin and pondered the gains and losses in this transaction.

After hearing Lin Ming's previous explanation, Zhao Bin disagreed with his point of view in his heart. In his opinion, computers are used for work, even if they are used to play games to pass the time, which is understandable. If Lin Ming is a best-selling game company, Zhao Bin will definitely agree to invest. But to make a music portal, let him invest 5 million and only take 10% of the shares, that is too much to take for granted. Because he felt that it was impossible for the Internet to develop into what Lin Ming said in a short period of time. He has been to Internet cafes, and they are all playing LAN stand-alone games. Legend He also knows that many rich bosses around him are playing, but can music websites make money? He doesn't think so.

Zhao Bin, who was limited by fixed thinking, no longer thought about investing in websites, but turned to think about Lin Ming's second choice. In his opinion, this choice is undoubtedly profitable, because contacting the media company is just a contact channel in his hands, and he doesn't need to talk about it specifically, and it is really profitable to exchange 5 million.

5 million in this era is very valuable, to use a simple analogy, it is equivalent to borrowing 5 million from others in the next life, and then they introduce a few friends to you, and after a few months, you have to pay back 30 million. It's more profitable than being a loan shark, and you don't lose money at all.

Although Zhao Bin's family is very rich, it is a family business. Zhao Bin's relatives, uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts all have shares, and the largest part of them is in the hands of his grandfather and his father.

Even if Zhao Bin is the son of the Zhao family, his father still did not completely hand over all the shares in his hands to him, so what can be put into Zhao Bin's own hands only accounts for a small proportion, and the total assets are about 100 million. So for him, 5 million assets is not small, it is one-20th of his total assets, and it is worth considering.

After a few minutes, Zhao Bin made a choice and nodded: "Yes, it's the second choice." I asked someone to transfer the money directly to Hou Wenhui's account and asked him to transfer it to you. If you don't follow the company's flow, you still have to follow the rules. It may arrive a few days later, and I would like you to make a note. ”

Zhao Bin just calculated that Lin Ming's shares are worth more than 3 million in Taomu. Coupled with the successful release of "My Sky", it made a lot of money. If the five albums in July are also successful, then even if Mingran Technology loses money, Lin Ming will be able to afford to pay back the money.

Therefore, Zhao Bin readily agreed to this request.

Lin Ming shrugged: "Of course, when the money arrives in General Hou's account, I will make a note on the spot." ”

Since Zhao Bin is on business, then he doesn't care.

"Okay." Zhao Bin nodded: "I still have to catch a plane overnight to go to the company in the capital tonight, so I won't talk about it first, after the note is established, let Hou Wenhui keep it, and when I come back from the capital, I will ask him for it." ”

"Then don't bother." Lin Ming stood up: "Contact the media company, I will find someone to connect with you, and then it will trouble Mr. Zhao." ”

"Little things."

Lin Ming walked towards the door, walking and walking, he suddenly stopped at the door, turned his head and said, "Mr. Zhao, in the future, you will regret it." ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Bin looked at him, was silent for two seconds and asked, "What do you regret?" ”

"Regret your choice today."

"Huh."

Zhao Bin smiled: "We'll see." ”

Lin Ming also smiled and turned to leave. Borrow 1 million and repay 5 million. There is no more loss-making business in this world, but in Lin Ming's view, this 1 million is not the key. The key is how to open up the situation and make the music website officially formal.

With that 1 million, he can do a lot of things. For example, recruit more staff and bring in some good business negotiators to talk to those media companies.

And the main one of them.

It's that he now has more capital to operate.

Compared with Brother Xiao Ma and Father Ma's 500,000 start-up capital, his start-up capital has reached 1.5 million. Coupled with knowing that the trend changes in the future, he already has a lot of advantages. If he can't achieve success in the golden age of the Internet, then he, a reborn person, might as well find a comfortable rooftop to jump on.

As for Zhao Bin.

Lin Ming was very grateful that he could borrow his 1 million, but when it came to vision, his brain was still limited by traditional thinking.

So.

Let him regret it in the future!
