Rebirth 2006, creating a super consortium

"What is Mr. Zhang thinking about?"

After entering the office, An Xinru saw Zhang Chaoyang sitting on the sofa in deep thought, and then asked with a smile.

"what?"

Zhang Chaoyang immediately stopped thinking and said apologetically, "Boss An, I'm sorry, what did you just say?"

An Xin had no choice but to repeat herself: "Mr. Zhang, I see that you look like you are in a trance. I want to ask you what you are thinking about?"

Zhang Chaoyang shook his head slightly and replied, "Boss An, I'm still digesting the explosive information that you are the largest single shareholder of Yuanfang!"

An Xin was happy and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, it's really not necessary. The largest single shareholder is not the controlling shareholder. There is no need to care so much!"

Zhang Chaoyang has a different view on this: "Mr. An, you should know that Yuanfang is a financial group with total assets of over 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Mr. An is the largest single shareholder of this financial group. Obviously, his influence cannot be underestimated!"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Just take this 20% shareholding ratio. Mr. An must be worth at least billion Hong Kong dollars, right?"

"This is much more than what I have been working hard for for more than ten years!"

Okay, okay, it seems that the last sentence is what you really think, right?

An Xin shook her head with a bit of a smile and explained, "Mr. Zhang, due to the rapid expansion, Yuanfang is currently carrying a loan of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. The actual situation is really not as good as you imagine!"

"To be honest, everyone in Yuanfang feels like they are walking on a tightrope, afraid that it will suddenly collapse one day!"

Zhang Chaoyang spread his hands innocently and said, "Boss An, I would like to take out a loan of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, but which institution is willing to give me this opportunity?"

?

No, why is your brain circuit different from normal people?

An Xin looked at Zhang Chaoyang in front of her in a daze, and for a moment she was unable to refute his words.

After a long while, An Xin came back to her senses and said helplessly: "Mr. Zhang, these two situations are different!"

After seeing An Xin's helpless expression, Zhang Chaoyang smiled and said, "Boss An, I understand what you mean. It was just a joke!"

An Xin shook her head speechlessly, then wisely skipped the topic and got straight to business: "Mr. Zhang, if I remember correctly, Sohu seems to have won the exclusive Internet broadcasting rights for the Beijing Olympics, right?"

Yes, An Xin has set his eyes on Sohu's exclusive internet broadcasting rights for the Beijing Olympic Games!

There is no way around it. The traffic brought by the 08 Beijing Olympics was so terrifying that it was beyond the expectations of all practitioners!

In the past, Sohu relied on this exclusive broadcasting right to not only get sufficient traffic, but also pushed up its stock price by a large margin!

Hearing An Xin talking about serious matters, Zhang Chaoyang immediately stopped smiling and replied quite seriously: "Strictly speaking, the exclusive Internet broadcasting rights for the Beijing Olympics belong to CCTV."

"But at the end of last year, CCTV held a bidding event for the Internet content service sponsor of the Beijing Olympics. In name, it was a bidding event for the Internet content service sponsor, but in reality it was an auction for the exclusive Internet broadcasting rights."

"In order to obtain the exclusive internet broadcasting rights, we spent a total of 5000 million RMB!"

"Mr. An, to be honest, this price is indeed a bit high, but I am betting that the popularity of the Beijing Olympics will be very optimistic and will definitely bring huge traffic to Sohu!"

Either it is a blind cat catching a dead mouse, or it is a truly long-term vision.

Anyway, Sohu did win the bet in the end!

5000 RMB?

To put it bluntly, the direct revenue brought by this wave of traffic alone exceeds 5 million RMB!

Now there is only one problem facing An Xin, that is how to convince Zhang Chaoyang to share the exclusive Internet broadcasting rights!

After thinking for a moment, An Xin looked at Zhang Chaoyang seriously and said slowly, "Mr. Zhang, is Sohu willing to sell this exclusive Internet broadcasting right?"

Zhang Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized the information revealed by An Xin's words, and then he asked directly: "Boss An, is Micro Times going to enter the field of Internet video platforms?"

An Xin admitted it very straightforwardly: "Yes, in order to increase the user playability of the social platform, Weishidai will build its own video platform!"

The words "peace of mind" are both true and false, but in the current situation, it does make sense.

Zhang Chaoyang frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Boss An, there are actually quite a few video platforms out there. Why do you need to start your own? Wouldn't it be better to just connect to one or several third-party platforms?"

After hearing Zhang Chaoyang's doubts, An Xin smiled speechlessly.

Come to think of it, we can’t blame Zhang Chaoyang for saying this. It’s mainly because the current Internet industry is so damn weird!

Influenced by the open atmosphere of the Internet, except for a few companies in the entire industry that have maintained the habit of continuing to expand related business segments, almost all other companies, except for their core businesses, directly connect to third-party platforms through cooperation!

As a reborn person, An Xin would never make such a stupid mistake!

"Mr. Zhang, Weibo is a social platform. If it connects to a third-party platform as a business supplement, it will easily cause confusion among users and will definitely reduce the user experience. So after much thought, we think it is better to bite the bullet and build our own platform!"

Zhang Chaoyang nodded in sudden realization, and after a moment's silence, he slowly asked, "Mr. An, how much are you willing to pay for the Internet broadcasting rights for the Beijing Olympics?"

There is a play!

An Xin's eyes lit up, and she immediately offered a very tempting price: "1 million RMB!"

"If Sohu is willing to sell the exclusive broadcasting rights, Micro Times is willing to take over for 1 million RMB!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chaoyang shook his head and said, "Mr. An, the price of 1 million RMB is indeed very tempting, but Sohu will not sell the exclusive broadcasting rights. However, if the price is right, Sohu is willing to sell a share of the Internet broadcasting rights in the form of distribution!"

An Xin was indeed a little disappointed that she failed to obtain the exclusive broadcasting rights and monopolize the traffic of the Beijing Olympic Games.

But since it is no longer possible to obtain the exclusive broadcasting rights, the next best thing is to obtain the parallel broadcasting rights through Sohu distribution, which is actually an acceptable result!

After thinking it through, An Xin nodded slightly and said, "Sohu distribution is also OK, Mr. Zhang, just name a price!"

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, I think even if Sohu wants to distribute, it shouldn't be distributed on too many platforms. Otherwise, this broadcasting right will be meaningless!"

"Mr. An, I understand what you mean. If you distribute too much, it will become a common sight. Don't worry, Sohu only plans to distribute on one platform. As for the selling price..."

When it comes to the price, Zhang Chaoyang was a little hesitant. After thinking for a long time, he gave a final offer: "One price, 3800 million RMB, Mr. An, what do you think?"

"make a deal!"
