Chapter 276 Favor
Liu Mingzu came to visit today with the expectation of being rejected. Unexpectedly, the secretary came back after going to inform him and said that Mr. Qin wanted to see him.
He was naturally overjoyed. A big boss like Qin Shaoyan must be very busy with everything, but he could still see him as an acquaintance.
Liu Mingzu carefully adjusted his suit and followed Secretary Qin to the president's office.
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Mingzu saw Qin Shaoyan sitting on a chair with a haggard face. There was an iron shelf behind him with empty medicine bottles and infusion sets on it.
"Mr. Liu is here, a rare guest." Qin Shaoyan coughed a few times, greeted with a smile, and extended his hand to signal, "Sit down wherever you want, Xiao Chen, make tea for Mr. Liu."
"I have nothing to do. The tea is all given by others. "
"If you can't get used to it, I have coffee."
"Don't bother, just drink tea." Liu Mingzu said quickly. , walked to the sofa and sat down, "Mr. Qin, are you sick?"
"It's just a cold." Qin Shaoyan mocked himself and raised the back of his hand that was still bleeding, "What ice bucket challenge was popular a while ago? , Bill Gates from the United States asked me to participate.”
"It turned out that this bucket of ice water was poured down in the middle of winter, and it froze when it was blown by the wind. I didn't take it seriously at first, but the result became more serious as time went on."
Liu Mingzu asked with concern: "It doesn't matter, right? "
"I'm getting better after a few days of intravenous drip." Qin Shaoyan said nonchalantly, "Besides, my young man's body can bear the torment."
"My body still needs more. "Pay attention, Mr. Qin, you don't take good care of your body." Liu Mingzu said with a smile, "I have a few boxes of wild ginseng. I'll have them delivered to you this afternoon." Your courtesy is inappropriate." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand.
"Why is it inappropriate? Don't you recognize me as a friend?"
"If you refuse any more, it will appear that I am out of touch, so I will accept it." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "I will wait for a while Let’s have some fun together when we’re free.”
“Absolutely,” Liu Mingzu happily agreed.
But he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't follow it up. Qin Shaoyan was just being polite, but you would look stupid if you took it seriously.
"Mr. Liu, you are usually very busy. Why do you think of me? You won't come here to give gifts, right?" Qin Shaoyan asked with a smile.
"The last time I got advice from Mr. Qin, I had a sudden enlightenment. I have been busy with website financing since I got back." Liu Mingzu said quickly, "But I am also stupid. I don't understand many things, so I was thinking about when to ask Mr. Qin for advice. , please take the time to give me some advice.”
“I have been here several times before, but you were not in the company. I happened to meet you today. I can’t let this good opportunity pass.”
"I was so busy a while ago that I was not in the company." Qin Shaoyan was a little confused, "Did you make an appointment when you came to the company? The secretary didn't mention to me that you were here."
"Xiao Chen is so unruly. , such an important guest didn’t even register when he came.”
Liu Mingzu quickly interrupted, “It’s not Secretary Chen’s fault, I told her not to disturb Mr. Qin.”
Qin Shaoyan sighed and patted his forehead, "I've been busy with Kuaibo.com recently and can't take care of anything else."
"Oh, is everything going well with Kuaibo.com?" Liu Mingzu followed. The words continued, "I read in the newspaper that Qvod.com and YouTube have cooperated again."
"Hey, you know about this too?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised.
"The biggest thing on the Internet recently is YouTube and Qvod.com. I have been paying attention to newspaper news." Liu Mingzu said with sincere admiration, "Mr. Qin is still very good. He can just build a website and sell it. Three hundred million U.S. dollars.”
“If it’s not sold, three hundred million U.S. dollars is just a false name.” Qin Shaoyan waved his hand and said modestly.
"That must be because you are more optimistic about the future development of Kuaibo.com and don't want to sell it." Liu Mingzu complimented, "With the current momentum of Kuaibo.com, even three billion US dollars in two years will not be able to stop it."
< br>"Alas, the capital market is now overly optimistic about the video website track." Qin Shaoyan said after pondering for two seconds, "It's hard to say what the future of the video website will be. Everyone has excessive expectations, and the media has exaggerated."
< br>Liu Mingzu said sternly: "I'm not complimenting you. I also admire Qiaobo.com very much."
"Video websites will definitely be a new trend on the Internet in the future, and they are much more interesting than those portal websites. Well, watching short videos is more interesting than reading articles.”
“Even my father, a local boss, is very fond of Qvod. He has mentioned Qvod to some celebrities he knows and recommended them. Go to Kuaibo.com to register an account and become familiar with it.”
When Qin Shaoyan heard this, he suddenly realized that it was you who found these celebrities.
Qin Shaoyan had speculated before that in his circle of acquaintances, there were only a few people with connections to film and television stars.
For example, Director Meng from Hairun Company and Wenhuakou we dealt with before.
But these people are not very familiar with Qin Shaoyan, and some of them are just purely interested in cooperation.
If Qin Shaoyan takes the initiative to contact them and ask them to help hire celebrities.
It is basically impossible to automatically find celebrities to help Qin Shaoyan. Neither friendship nor interests are at that level.
Excluding others, the only one left is the son of a coal boss who is suspected to be related to the film and television industry.
At first, Qin Shaoyan was just after the coal boss's money bag, but now he found out that the other party actually had such connections and resources, so he couldn't let it go.
"I asked why so many celebrities suddenly joined Qvod. It turned out to be Mr. Liu's handiwork." Qin Shaoyan stood up directly, walked over to Liu Mingzu enthusiastically and shook hands with him, "Thank you Mr. Liu’s strong support for Qvod.com, I am determined to make you my friend.”
“Whenever your father has time, I will thank him in person.”
"It's a small effort, so worth mentioning." Liu Mingzu said with a smile, "Besides, we are just the icing on the cake."
"This is not just the icing on the cake." Qin Shaoyan said solemnly, "I will remember this favor. Downloaded.”
“Mr. Liu, isn’t your audio website looking for financing? Are there any difficulties?”
“Have you contacted any venture capital firm?”
< br>"I contacted both companies, but the talks were not very good." Liu Mingzu told the truth directly, "Now I place my hope on IDG. I have met with Mr. Zhou twice, but he did not give me a clear answer."
"IDG is considerate, right?" Qin Shaoyan said in an all-round way, "I'll help you make an appointment with him, isn't it just a matter of financing? I'll discuss it with you then."
"Thank you Qin President." Liu Mingzu was overjoyed and stood up excitedly.
With Qin Shaoyan taking the initiative to help, this matter is almost certain.
“It’s just a small matter.” Qin Shaoyan said nonchalantly, “Your audio website is actually quite good, and I’m optimistic about it too. There’s nothing wrong with this project.”
“Oh, that’s right. , I remember telling you before, spend some time on advertising and build website data, have you done it?”
Liu Mingzu was a little embarrassed, his eyes averted, "Still preparing."
"Stop preparing, start working quickly." Qin Shaoyan said with hatred for iron, "What the Internet pursues is how to improve efficiency and reduce time. Don’t waste time on the cost.”
“Okay, I’ll start advertising when I get back today.” Liu Mingzu quickly agreed.
"What we are looking at now is the website data. As long as the data is good, venture capital will definitely be willing to spend money." Qin Shaoyan talked eloquently, "And doesn't your website have paid programs?"
"This is even better. This shows that the website has its own business model. Can it be profitable?"
"There is no problem with profitability." Liu Mingzu said quickly, "I can still make a lot every year."
"How much can I make?" Qin Shaoyan asked.
"Well, probably two to three million." Liu Mingzu estimated a rough figure. "It shouldn't be." Qin Shaoyan frowned, "Two or three million is a bit small. You can make 20 million a year without any problem."
"It still has to be Do more advertising to increase the website’s popularity and attract users who can pay.”
"We must work more on the content of the website, pay close attention to the pain points of users, find new starting points, and accurately locate users' preferences."
"Create more of the types of books that pay more, not just by yourself For content, we need to build a platform to attract creators in the form of profit sharing. "
"With a large number of creators coming in, are you still worried about not having enough content?"< br>
When Qin Shaoyan said this, Liu Mingzu felt like he was enlightened, and all the meridians in his body were opened.
What do users like to listen to nowadays? They like to listen to romance, horror, and suspense, so just add a few more.
Lack of content?
How could there be a lack of content? Just search online and you will find a lot of content on the Internet.
There are a lot of passionate novels on the current novel websites, and some of them are no different from erotic novels.
Just find a popular novel and hire two slutty little girls with sweet voices to read it aloud.
You don’t even have to pay for the copyright fee, the money just comes.
"It has to be Mr. Qin." Liu Mingzu admired him sincerely, "No one knows more about the Internet than you."
"These are just small tricks, not worth mentioning." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "To put it bluntly, those things are the Internet. If you explain this clearly to investors, basically they will not hesitate anymore."
"Financing may be complex, but it is actually quite simple. "The difficulty lies in the detailed negotiations," Qin Shao said earnestly, "Experienced investors will set some favorable terms in the financing agreement, and these terms can easily trap novices."
" I’ll give you a document later, you can take it back and look at it carefully.”
“It’s best to find a larger law firm to help you check the terms of the contract, and they can help you. Save a lot of trouble.”
Liu Mingzu wanted to take out a notebook and write it down. What Mr. Qin said were all top-notch secrets.
......
Liu Mingzu came out of Qin Shaoyan's place excitedly after having gained a lot and drove straight to a teahouse.
Going up to the second floor, the waiter led him into a private room decorated with antique style.
As soon as I walked in, I saw my cheap dad holding a tea bowl and discussing the tea ceremony with a tea master in a high-slit cheongsam.
The tea master sat on Liu Yuanrui's lap, smiling coquettishly. He kept twisting his body to avoid Liu Yuanrui's hand, "Boss, have a sip of tea."
"This tea is about the heat. The heat is not enough. It tastes tasteless." Liu Yuanrui said with a smile, turning around to see Liu Mingzu coming in and pushing the tea master away.
Liu Yuanrui straightened his clothes and returned to his serious demeanor, "Mingzu is here. Sit down, Fengxian, and pour some tea."
The tea artist quickly picked up the purple clay pot and poured it into the teapot. Pour tea into the teacup.
Liu Mingzu acted as if he had not seen anything and sat directly opposite Liu Yuanrui, "Father, I am back."
"You've been here for so long, have you met Mr. Qin?" Liu Yuanrui picked up the teacup, took a slow sip, and waved his hand for the tea master to leave.
“I saw it.” Liu Mingzu recounted the details of his meeting with Qin Shaoyan.
Liu Yuanrui nodded with satisfaction and said with emotion: "I finally found this line for you, and then it's up to you to perform."
"Thank you, father." Liu Mingzu He hesitated and asked tentatively: "What about advertising on the website?"
"I will give you 10 million." Liu Yuanrui said lightly, "I will transfer it to your company account tomorrow and follow the instructions Mr. Qin said, put out the advertisement and make that plate.”
"Thank you, father." Liu Mingzu was overjoyed. It was not easy to get money from this stingy father.
"Don't thank me in a hurry." Liu Yuanrui said calmly, "This money is not for you, you have to write an IOU."
"Huh?!" Liu Mingzu was confused.
"Let me see how far you can build the website first." Liu Yuanrui took a sip of hot tea and said slowly, "If you can really build the website, you don't have to pay back the money."< br>
"Don't worry, father, my website still has a lot of potential." Liu Mingzu said quickly, "President Qin said he is optimistic about my website."
"His words were polite, but you took them seriously." Liu Yuanrui glared at him, "It depends on what the investors say, they are the ones who paid you real money."
" I came to the capital this time just for you to see if you are good at doing business.”
“If you don’t do well, don’t ask me for money again.”
"I understand." Liu Mingzu suppressed his dissatisfaction and said honestly.
Liu Yuanrui gave his son a beating, changed the subject and asked: "How far do you plan to achieve this website? Do you have any goals?"
"That's what I think." Liu Mingzu replied seriously, "The first choice is of course to go public. Only when you go public can you really make big money."
"If going public doesn't work, then Just sell the website, cash out and leave.”
“Go public?” Liu Yuanrui thought for a moment, “It’s not easy to go public. You need someone, but if you can really do it, I’ll help you find someone. "
"Father, I am planning to go public in the United States," Liu Mingzu said quickly, "not the domestic stock market."
"Huh?" Liu Yuanrui glanced at his son in surprise. "I'm very happy that you have this idea, then try your best."
Liu Yuanrui picked up the teacup and was drinking when suddenly his cell phone rang. He took it out and took a look, then frowned.
"Old Wang, what's the matter?" Liu Yuanrui answered the phone and asked, "I'm in the capital..."
Old Wang's laughter came from the phone, "Why are you running away from the capital? Cool, I have something to discuss with you."
"I'm going to invest in a big project called a video website!" Liu Yuanrui was very surprised." Why are you interested in the Internet? ”
"The Internet is very popular now. I heard that if you set up a website, you can sell it for 300 million US dollars in three months." Lao Wang said excitedly, "It's faster than robbing money. I'm thinking of spending some money to invest in one and give it a try."< br>
"Accountant Jia just happened to find me. He wants to build a video website. I thought I would ask you."
"Accountant Jia?!" Liu Yuanrui felt confused, "I don't know him. "
"I'm not asking if you know him, I'm asking if you want to vote together." Lao Wang asked tentatively, "He is also a fellow of ours, he is reliable."
Liu Yuanrui hesitated for a moment, "I will discuss it with you when I get back."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yuanrui became thoughtful.
The Internet is so attractive that even a stingy guy like Lao Wang can’t sit still.
Would you like to try it?
