What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 148 Win-Win
Yu Xing didn't expect that Jingdong would notice his little Karami.

Xu Xin thought of Yu Xing's possible strong resistance.

Liu Qiangdong never expected that a well-known investor like Xu Xin could not handle such a small matter.

When he received Xu Xin's call, he even doubted whether President Xu had put pressure on him. He had to emphasize the time period of JD.com's development: "President Xu, JD.com and Suning must have a battle, but it definitely cannot be now."

"I understand." Xu Xin sighed, "I did have a serious chat with Yu Xing, but... I think, Mr. Liu, you don't have to worry too much about this. Gome's top management is having problems now, and there is still a fight for internal equity. Suning's priority now is to seize Gome's offline market. By the time it has the energy to develop its Internet business, JD.com will already be large enough."

She paused and continued, "This price comparison website is just a minor incident at best. Yu Xing has a bad temper. If JD.com is willing to pay for this small piece of business, I will talk to him. This is also a way to solve the problem."

As an investor, JD.com has a high priority in Xu Xin's eyes, but even so, it is impossible for her to withdraw Bai Xiaosheng's investment. There is no reason to do things this way.

At most, it is just mediation like what we have now.

Liu Qiangdong frowned on the other end of the phone. He knew about the competition, but he would rather build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king. He didn't want to see any unexpected situations and felt that this was just a matter of greeting.

He thought for a while and quoted a price: "Didn't Yu Xing claim that he doesn't charge money? Isn't this just a public relations fee? 50. You tell him that it's okay if it doesn't work. Mr. Xu, what you said makes sense. Our own development is the most important."

When Xu Xin heard the offer from JD.com's boss, she immediately knew that it would not impress Yu Xing, but she still accepted it.

This is indeed similar to public relations, but it is definitely not good public relations at such a price.

It’s just that, even though I recommended talents to him before, Mr. Liu was reluctant to pay him more, so now it’s... normal.

Xu Xin ended the call and this time didn't even make a phone call, but directly sent a text message to Yu Xing.

A moment later, she received a rejection message.

Yu Xing: Mr. Xu, are you ashamed?

Xu Xin felt a little embarrassed, so she simply didn't reply to the text message and let the matter go.

After a while, Yu Xing sent another message: The TV station has scheduled two episodes to be broadcast at 6 pm on June 9th and 10th. I estimate that after these two episodes are broadcast, there will be recruitment-related talents who will come to me for discussion. Mr. Xu, please help me keep an eye out for talents. Thank you.

This time Xu Xin replied: OK, no problem.

She put down her phone, still feeling a little emotional. Yu Xing, this young man, was very good at utilizing the resources around him from the beginning, and now he is even more skilled. He looks like nothing happened and he is also aware of his experience in this field.

Xu Xin once invested in ChinaHR.com and served as its chairman. Although it is now showing signs of decline, it still ranks among the top in the industry.

She thought silently about Bai Xiaosheng's development for a while, and soon turned her attention back to JD.com, which was the most booming project in her hands and had the opportunity to make a huge profit.

After a while, Xu Xin checked the new messages on her phone and saw Yu Xing's previous preview. She was looking forward to his and Tang Jun's performance in the show.

Tsk, Tang Jun should really be considered Bai Xiaosheng’s “extra-budget emperor”.

Hey, Yu Xing is really good at being an extra.

……

The release date of "If You Are the One" was scheduled earlier than Yu Xing had imagined.

The reason he heard on the phone was that the station leaders thought the program was very effective and were optimistic about the ratings, so they made the decision smoothly.

Two episodes will be broadcast on Friday and Saturday, the 9th and 10th, at 9:10 p.m.

The next recording session was scheduled directly on the 12th, and we needed to record 3 or 4 episodes of material for a whole day, and then another day of recording on the 15th. In order to meet the deadline, the subsequent recording sessions were all scheduled on Sundays.

Xu Rongxian notified every BOSS, hoping that everyone could adjust the time. If they really couldn't adjust, he would send in the alternative BOSS.

Yu Xing had no objection, as Bai Xiaosheng's work was on track. What was lacking now was the recruitment business, which was not urgent. Besides, since the recording was being done in Shanghai, it was easy for him to arrange his schedule.

However, as the title advertiser, Yu Xing also received an additional inquiry from Xu Rongxian on the phone.

"Mr. Yu, are you interested in the Internet copyright of our program?" Xu Rongxian talked about online operations.

Yu Xing was a little surprised: "Director Xu, you're asking me? I don't do this kind of business. Where will I broadcast it if I buy it?"

Xu Rongxian smiled and said, "You can be a middleman. The station will give you a preferential price, and we will get the profit first. Then you can take the risk of unsalable products and then go to Youku, Tudou and the like, and you can also get a part of the profit. Isn't that all right?"

Yu Xing's eyes lit up a little, and he thought: "Director Xu, I didn't expect you to have a talent for business."

"Hey, I have no choice but to help the station." Xu Rongxian said seriously, "Mr. Yu, you are the first person I thought of. Really, you came up with the idea for the program, and you also contributed to the program effect. The first two episodes were really good. Our program has a chance to be popular. Please think about it and give me an answer quickly. Yes, before the 11th."

Two years ago, Dragon TV produced a program about college students’ workplace, but the result was not ideal. Although this time the program had excellent results as in the first two episodes, but... Tang Jun is gone. Where can we find such a scene that brings together counterfeiters + counterfeiters + existing public opinion storms?
Can it still arouse the audience's interest later?

This needs to be questioned.

Therefore, the TV station wants to get the money from Internet copyright as soon as possible so that it can be safely in the pocket.

As for finding Yu Xing to be a middleman, this was indeed Xu Rongxian's idea, but it was also allowed. The TV station could reduce risks and appropriately reduce profits. Yu Xing could take on some risks and also gain some profits.

Yu Xing thought about it and asked, "How much do you want to sell the copyright for?"

Xu Rongxuan offered: "800 million for 6 years of exclusive internet broadcasting rights. If you want it, then this is the price. There is no need to bargain further. After the 11th, the price we want will be 1200 million. We can bargain by then. I estimate that the bottom line will be tens of millions."

Yu Xing did not express his opinion immediately, but promised to give an answer on the 11th.

However, as he was sitting in the office, he thought of one thing: his former boss, Accountant Jia, bought a lot of copyrights at low prices when he founded LeTV. Later, when everyone was spending money to compete for the online video market, the prices of those copyrights skyrocketed.

In particular, LeTV bought the exclusive broadcasting rights for "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which brought long-term benefits and allowed later LeTV employees to continue living.

Yu Xing has no intention of entering this market. He is quite satisfied with the current situation and is thinking about making a few more cuts to first solve his own well-being problem, and the well-being problems of his family and employees, and then see what new actions he can take.

However, Xu Rongxian's suggestion as a middleman does have some merits. In addition to profits, Yu Xing is very interested in being able to stab his former employer to a certain extent. He knows that the distribution of online video copyrights is LeTV's main source of income at one stage. If he can intercept a few hits, he wonders what new operations Accountant Jia will come up with.

Continue to pump in water? Continue to falsify?

LeTV will not be missing in the future goals of crossing the mountain.

Yu Xing suddenly felt very interested.

He took the opportunity to call Ms. Xu Xin, an investor whom he respected very much.

"Mr. Xu, I've thought about it these past two days and put myself in your shoes. I think your and Mr. Liu's concerns are justified." Yu Xing said in a very gentle manner, "Mr. Liu and I have talked a lot about business matters before. I have also done a 'dialogue' column with him. We can't have such a relationship."

Xu Xin was surprised and happy: "Mr. Yu, the sun is rising from the west?"

"No, I am sometimes immature in doing things, so I need more advice from my seniors." Yu Xing expressed his sincerity, "We will continue the internal testing of our price comparison website, and try to operate it publicly when the time is right."

He continued seriously, "Also, I also read the book that Mr. Xu gave me, and I feel that I gained a lot from it. I thank Mr. Xu from the bottom of my heart."

Xu Xin said with relief: "Boss Yu, I really didn't expect you to call me like this. You really... deserve to succeed."

Yu Xing was more modest, and seeing that Mr. Xu was very happy, he got down to business: "Mr. Xu, I saw that you also invested in Tudou.com, and it's developing really well."

Xu Xin said with some pride: "Yes, Tudou.com is developing very fast and may be listed next year. I invested $1900 million in Tudou last year, oh, the year before last, along with several other institutions. There were many doubts at that time."

Tudou.com has already decided internally that it will go for an IPO next year, but has not disclosed the news to the public yet. Only a limited number of people are aware of the decision.

When Xu Xin invested in Tudou, its revenue was not good and the risk was very high. However, she stated at that time that she was "willing to support it for three years", so now that it is making progress towards listing, it is something to be proud of.

The high risk at that time had the hope of obtaining high returns.

"That's great. I'm very optimistic about Tudou.com and will definitely buy its stocks when the time comes." Yu Xing said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, I just happen to have a deal related to Tudou.com. Can you help me negotiate?"

When Xu Xin heard this, his brows frowned faster than his thoughts. After a few seconds of silence, he frowned and said, "So you are waiting here? What business can you have with Tudou?"

Yu Xing said seriously: "I have negotiated with Dragon TV for the exclusive Internet broadcasting rights of If You Are the One. Now I want to find a buyer for the video website. The first thing I thought of was Tudou.com. It's a good deal!"

Xu Xin was surprised and amused: "You...how could you even think of buying a TV show? You got the financing and you're just doing something else?"

"It's not that I'm not doing my job, it's that I have confidence in the program. If you've seen the results of our first two episodes, you would make the same decision." Yu Xing lobbied, "Mr. Xu, I really thought of you first. If you're not interested, I'll talk to Ku6.com first."

While thinking, Xu Xin asked, "Why Ku6?"

Yu Xing replied: "Li Shanyou from Ku6.com sat next to me when he was recording the show. He would be interested. If he is not interested, then I will go to Sohu or Youku. The price is not expensive anyway."

Xu Xin frowned slightly. Ku6 and Sohu are both okay, but Youku is now Tudou's biggest competitor.

She thought about it seriously.

Bai Xiaosheng sold the program copyright and got a certain profit, Tudou got the exclusive broadcast and gained clicks and advertisements, and at the same time it was able to weaken its competitors slightly. Both companies invested by themselves could gain profits, and the premise of all this was that the content of "If You Are the One" was good.

It doesn't have to be outstanding, just good.

Xu Xin thought for a long time and asked, "With Tang Jun in the front, the effect will definitely be good. The question is whether the subsequent recording content can be guaranteed?"

Yu Xing was full of confidence: "Boss Xu, don't worry. I'm not saying that I can do well all the time, but at least I will try my best to help the program achieve good results. Helping the program is also helping myself. No matter what, I will do my best."

Xu Xin actually believed this. Yu Xing's temper was sometimes a bit bad, but his mind was indeed very flexible.

"Then I'll ask for you, but I can't guarantee anything. You can negotiate it yourself when the time comes." Xu Xin asked, "How much is the offer?"

Yu Xing said sincerely, "Tudou.com was the first to make an offer, 1400 million. If they are interested, we can talk about it. There is room for negotiation. With President Xu in the middle, I can talk to them. As long as Bai Xiaosheng can get back some of the money we sponsored, it will be fine. President Xu, you also know that we have no revenue yet, so we must be careful with money."

Xu Xin originally wanted to ask Bai Xiaosheng and the TV station about the purchase price, but after hearing what happened next, he gave up the idea. Forget it, just act as a connection and let them negotiate on their own.

Seeing that Mr. Xu agreed, Yu Xing also gave a time: "Mr. Xu, I can't wait too long. We will broadcast the first episode at 9:9 pm on the 10th. It would be best if you give us your intention on the evening of the 9th. The latest is 10 pm on the th. If you are interested, we can talk. Otherwise, I will quickly contact other people."

Xu Xin agreed.

After all, Today Capital also invested in Bai Xiaosheng.

After she hung up the phone, she did not delay and looked for the phone number of Tudou.com and introduced them to the program from Dragon TV. She was a little vague in the middle, making it sound like Bai Xiaosheng had already bought the copyright in black and white. This way, Tudou.com didn't have to go directly to the TV station, which was a way of endorsing her own identity.

Anyway, the price can be negotiated. We are both family members and we can all benefit.

Tudou agreed. Although the procurement introduction channel was unconventional, Mr. Xu was an important investor and could first watch the program broadcast on the evening of the 9th to judge the format, content and possible ratings.

On June 6th, at 9:9 p.m., many people who already knew about this program consciously or unconsciously switched the channel to Dragon TV.

Needless to say, all the BOSSes who participated in the recording, Xu Xin, Tudou, Liu Qiangdong and even Lei Jun all want to watch this show.

The previous material was recorded for a total of 4 hours, and the final editing time was 1 hour and 5 minutes.

At ten o'clock, Cai Bochao, who was in charge of the purchase at Tudou.com, immediately sent a text message to Xu Xin with just one word in the subject line: Buy!

Xu Xin immediately sent a text message to Yu Xing with the same subject: Buy!
Yu Xing immediately sent a text message to Xu Rongxian, with the same subject: Buy!

Xu Rongxian immediately sent a text message to the station with the same subject: Buy!

Buy, buy, buy, and a brand new win-win reaction chain is born!
