Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Chapter 709 Negotiation 1

At the same time, the domestic Penguin headquarters.

In the small conference room, Brother Xiao Ma sits in person, and Zhang Xiaolong is demonstrating the product developed by leading the team for more than 2 months of retreat: WeChat!

On the big screen, there is a comparison between WeChat and WeChat.

Yao Yuan directly copied the logo of WeChat, which is green with two speech bubbles, and also copied the animation at the beginning, a villain with a big earth behind it...

Of course, Zhang Xiaolong didn't know that Yao Yuan was plagiarizing. He just thought it was a conventional design, which made the logo and animation of WeChat completely different.

"We made two versions for Apple and Android. At first, we also wanted to add more functions, but later we felt that this is no different from QQ.

QQ has to reduce functions because it is too bloated. So I hope that WeChat can start from scratch and appear in front of users in a primitive and simple state. "

Zhang Xiaolong operated the computer, and the big screen kept changing.

Showing the most basic functions such as text calls, voice calls, posting pictures, Moments, etc., someone immediately questioned, saying: "Is it too simple? Even if it is simple, there must be something bright?"

"99's Weichat only has these functions, nothing too complicated, but they allow Weichat to communicate with the community, Maimai, and Weibo, which is the key now.

Let's consolidate our users first, and then talk about the highlights. "

"But……"

"alright!"

Brother Xiaoma saw that there was a tendency to quarrel, and immediately suppressed it. He naturally realized that the future is the mobile era, and he is transforming the company.

So on WeChat, he decided to give Zhang Xiaolong an independent status, and said directly: "The company has established a WeChat business department, and Zhang Xiaolong is in charge, so there is no need to dispute it."

As soon as Xiao Ma made his statement, Zhang Xiaolong’s confidence increased greatly, saying: “Our strategy is to conduct intensive user surveys after the launch of WeChat, collect everyone’s opinions, and then research and develop new functions.

That said, we've been gearing up for rapid updates throughout this year. On this product, we're not afraid of micro chatting at all, but there's one thing..."

He paused, and said, "It's still the same old problem, 99 has a mobile phone."

Brother Xiao Ma also has a headache when he mentions the mobile phone. Yao Yuan has been tinkering with mobile phones for 4 years. The best way is to invest in a mobile phone manufacturer, but the target is not easy to choose.

At the end of the meeting, the online application of WeChat was approved.

Ever since, in mid-March, the beta version of WeChat for Apple was first unveiled, and a few days later, the version for Android was also released.

There are Fetion and Weichat first, so no one is surprised.

The biggest value of this thing at present is that it is free to send messages and can make voice calls-most people only regard it as an auxiliary communication tool.

………………

"Miss me? I miss you too."

"The climate in New York is like how I miss you when I am alone in a foreign land. It is cold and warm."

"I'll be back soon...um, what!"

In the suite of the New York Hotel, Yu Jiajia was paralyzed on the sofa, with her legs resting on the coffee table, rolled her eyes and listened to Yao Yuan and Yin Yin's phone call, and said, "You two old wives are still so tired?"

"True love transcends everything."

"Forget it! Women can't be too clingy, or you won't have any space for yourself. How nice it is to be like me, relaxed and at ease, do whatever you want."

"Because you are scum! Are you embarrassed to say it?"

"I'm scum, I'm honored..."

Yu Jiajia admitted frankly, without the slightest bit of shame, and said: "But to be honest, I used to look forward to Hollywood female stars. After meeting a few times, I feel that race and race are really different.

Like Anne Hathaway, the surface looks super white. If you take a closer look, your face is full of spots, large pores, and hair...wow, can you imagine, there is hair! "

"So they must have depilatory cream!"

Yao Yuan smiled, and the two chatted. He said, "For female stars like Europe and the United States, I think Winona Ryder's face is considered the first echelon."

"Winona is good, and Jennifer Connelly was good when she was young."

"Ajani is also pretty!"

"Yeah, Adjani! Sophie Marceau and Bellucci are great."

Yu Jiajia agreed with both hands, and then sighed: "Maybe I am really getting old, and I always feel that the old stars are the beauties.

Today's celebrities, regardless of whether they are domestic or foreign, all have the same beautiful faces and no style. "

"I don't have a cold for the current stars, and I may be old too."

The two sighed, Yu Jiajia is nearly 40 years old, it is normal to have this kind of emotion. Yao Yuan came from later generations, he was used to that kind of crappy entertainment industry, and he felt the same emotion.

But he had no idea of ​​salvation.

Yao Yuan is a man who sells his dreams, and his heart is all about making money, so he took a look at his heart, whoops! What a bit of a dream.

But only a little bit.

"..."

The two of them had nothing to say for a while, and Yu Jiajia was bored, so he picked up a comic and read it. The name was "The Boys".

After about 20 minutes, Milner arrived first.

The current equity structure of Hugelive consists of Yao Yuan, Yu Jiajia and Milner. Milner invested tens of millions of dollars in the first round, accounting for 20% of the shares.

After a while, Rulov finally arrived, bringing two people with him.

"This is the investment representative of Goldman Sachs!"

"This is the representative of the American Pan Atlantic Investment Group!"

Good guy!

From the name alone, I can feel the importance of American capital. Even Milner is a little uncomfortable. He holds a lot of funds from Russia, but compared with these giants, it is still not enough.

After getting acquainted with each other, Yao Yuan said: "Everyone's time is precious, let me make a simple opening. Hong Kong's current population is 7.07 million, and Hugelive's users account for half, that is, 3.53 million.

The film library is shared with Maili, with over 10,000 movies and over 100,000 episodes of TV series.

The financing target of this round is 300 million U.S. dollars, and plans to sell 20% of the shares..."

"Yao, you are too conservative!"

Rulov shook his head and said, "We are very interested in your big data recommendation ideas. We have come here with sincerity and can provide at least 500 million funds, but we require at least 40% of the equity."

"40% is absolutely impossible!"

After arguing for a while, Roelof simply said: "Yao, you can't develop your business in the United States without our help. You are a smart man."

"I'm sorry, but we've finalized some real estate acquisitions that will serve as our US headquarters. Our negotiations with DCP Group are also going well, and DCP will be a great addition to the content.

Of course, I admit that a few of you can bring us great help, but this financing is only used as the operating expenses of landing in the United States and the cost of preparing for key dramas. If I take 40% of it now, then I don’t need it later. continued. "

"Um?"

Rulov was taken aback. It's only been a few days since I saw Yu Jiajia last time. Do you all have key repertoires?

(besides……)
