Reborn multinational giant

Chapter 153 Negotiations with Tencent (Book Friends "Relief Man" Title Update)

Five minutes here, including the two founders of Five Minutes, and Fang Zhe, all attended this negotiation as the negotiator of the five minutes party.

The two parties had introduced themselves to each other. When Fang Zhe said his name, Zheng Zhihao, the head of Tencent's QQ space, gave him a surprised look.

Before coming, Zheng Zhihao had already touched on the details of this company for five minutes. This company was only established last year. The two founders are both fresh graduates. There are mainly three shareholders of this company, and two founders account for it. The second, and the third, is the company's second largest shareholder, a game company named Huizhong in Yanjing.

Speaking of it, they are rushing to talk to Five Minutes about the entry of "Happy Farm" into Qzone. They also have a lot to do with this company called Huizhong, which is one of the two giants of American social network Internet companies. Tencent attaches great importance to the Facebook’s every move of this colleague. Since the establishment of Facebook’s open platform in 2007, Tencent’s Qzone has begun to consider whether they should also open the Tencent Qzone platform.

After detailed discussions and demonstrations at the top, this proposal has been shelved. The main reason is that Tencent wants these traffic to stay in its internal product circle. Facebook launched an open platform to defeat myspace, which was stronger than him at the time. Domestically, Qzone has not encountered such a competitor.

However, this situation began to change at the beginning of last year when the wave of social networks entered China. Although Tencent has occupied the leading position in the domestic social industry, it is impossible to prevent other companies from doing social products. The only thing they can do Yes, after opponents have made social products, defeat them.

Because of this, after the rise of domestic social networking sites such as Kaixin.com and Xiaonei.com, Tencent’s Qzone also began to spend a lot of effort to block these two competitors, Kaixin.com and Xiaonei.com, both learned Facebook’s great trick to defeat myspace , Establish an open platform, and increase user activity and user stickiness on your platform by introducing third-party developer applications.

In the past few months, the number of registered users on Kaixin.com and Schoolnet has exceeded 10 million, especially Kaixin. In September last year, there were only 5 million registered users. In January this year, the number of users has exceeded 1,500. Wan, according to the snowball effect of the Internet industry, if Tencent does not make a counterattack, it will not take long before Tencent's position in the social industry will be seriously threatened.

When Tencent noticed the rapid expansion of the number of users of Kaixin.com, it had already noticed Kaixin.com's game called "Happy Farm". According to their analysis and estimates, this game alone is popular on Kaixin. Tencent executives were surprised by the number of more than 3 million new registered users. They never thought that a game could bring so many new users to a website.

And last month, the same farm wind blew on overseas Facebook, which made them completely firm in their determination to introduce this game. Even if QQ Zone has not yet established an open platform, they decided to open one for this game. As a special case, the huge number of new users brought by "Happy Farm" to the two major platforms of Kaixin.com and Facebook at home and abroad has completely made them feel a real threat.

After the negotiations officially started, Zheng Zhihao asked the five-minute founder Gao Shaowen to provide terms. Gao Shaowen had already discussed with Fang Zhe last night and had a clear heart. Therefore, he directly opened his mouth and moved out the international version of "Happy Farm". The overseas cooperation case with Facebook implies that they also hope to cooperate with Qzone in this way.

Zheng Zhihao just smiled and did not speak. He cooperates with Facebook like that. It's funny. Facebook has established an open platform and only charges no more than 30% of the running fee for the application games on the platform. Their QQ space is absolutely not. It is possible to give such a high share ratio, in the eyes of him and other senior executives of Tencent, the huge traffic of their QQ space is more valuable than the games they have settled.

Zheng Zhihao didn't speak, and the assistant sitting next to him began to wrestle with Gao Shaowen. At this time, most of Zheng Zhihao's attention was actually focused on Fang Zhe who was sitting on the right side among the three representatives in five minutes.

Compared to their negotiations this time, he is more interested in Fang Zhe, the founder of Huizhong, the second largest shareholder in five minutes.

According to their previous background investigations conducted by Tencent on Huizhong, this company's business covers several different game fields such as web game platforms, web games, and mobile games, and is different from general domestic companies. This company has a large Part of the business is overseas. The above is nothing strange to say, but it is strange that the founder of this company, Fang Zhe, turned out to be a young man of only 22 years old, and this young man is not complicated. Since the establishment of Huizhong last year, it has always been from scratch.

Regarding Huizhong’s acquisition of the overseas copyright of "Happy Farm" and their achievements in overseas markets, Zheng Zhihao does not know whether this should be attributed to this young man’s vicious vision and ability, or to his luck. In terms of achievements, the former is more common.

For this reason, in the negotiations with Five Minutes, Zheng Zhihao actually believes that the two founders who rectified the five minutes are not the key. The key is the young man named Fang Zhe.

Fang Zhe listened to Zheng Zhihao’s assistant arguing with Gao Shaowen and Liu Zhifeng, and he had already started a small business. Most of his thoughts were actually placed on the opposite Tencent representative Zheng Zhihao. If it weren’t for someone in the Internet industry, I’m afraid not much People have heard of his name, and even people like Fang Zhe in the Internet industry don’t know much about him. Judging from the current situation, he is an ordinary manager and his ability should not be bad. , But it doesn’t necessarily mean that Fang Zhe’s balance will be disrupted in this negotiation.

After half an hour, both sides slobbered a lot. After checking his eyes with him, Zheng Zhihao’s assistant finally threw out the three plans they had set before, and Fang Zhe listened to him. Sure enough, there is not much deviation from what I have learned in the previous life. The only difference is probably the specific price, which is a little higher than the previous life. The first one-time buyout of agency rights is 10 million, and the second is the proportion of total shares. Tencent is still 70% in five minutes and 30% in minutes. The third type is the guaranteed income of 5 million and the ceiling of the share is 15 million.

After listening to Tencent’s conditions, Gao Shaowen and Liu Zhifeng here both glanced at Fang Zhe’s silence in five minutes. It’s funny, it’s the same as Mr. Fang said last night, even though Tencent knows the huge overseas achievements of "Happy Farm". They still can't put forward too high conditions for their achievements. The reason is that the domestic running data of "Happy Farm" is not very impressive. The only outstanding result is the number of users who have snowballed.

If the price is too high, in the opinion of Tencent executives, it is not worth making a farm game by yourself. Anyway, the traffic entrance of QQ space is in their hands. They do not agree. "Happy Farm" can only be used on Kaixin.com and the school. These two small sites are jumping on the Internet.

Fang Zhe understood that it was time to speak for himself. He took two sips of water and said:

"Mr. Zheng, I think your company has not shown sincerity!"
