Top of the Great Era

The current Snapchat is still in the early stages of development, and there is still a long way to go before success. The future is very uncertain.

At this time period, if you bid for an acquisition, the possibility of a transaction will be greatly increased.

Facebook in the previous life also wanted to acquire it many times, but they all failed.

One reason is that the quotation was late, and Snapchat has become a hot product in the market, and it has the possibility of being listed alone or even becoming a prince.

I don't want to be sent to others.

The second is that the core of Snapchat and Facebook are contradictory.The former is a voyeur who avoids history, and the latter is the biggest platform for voyeurism.

This is a completely opposite ideological divergence.

At this time, Ziweixing International has no worries about this factor at all.

Another point is the advantage of Ziweixing.

Although the later Snapchat was an excellent product, which attracted the love of young users around the world and was one of the most popular social products on the market, the entrepreneurial team of this company was all product-oriented.

In fact, it is not only this company, but most of the start-up companies in Silicon Valley and their entrepreneurial teams are product-oriented and technology-oriented.

This is prone to a disadvantage.

The product is very good, and the technical level is quite high, but it does not make money!

In the final analysis, the purpose of running a company is still to make a profit.

Later, there was no way. The Snapchat team racked their brains and couldn’t find a monetization strategy. The product was well received but it didn’t sell well, which was a headache.

Later, they turned their gazes to the other side of the ocean.

So I came to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to learn from the scriptures.

I went to Penguin, went to WeChat to study, research, and study the business model of this product.Next, the two parties reached a cooperation. Penguin made a strategic investment in Snapchat and began to guide the other party in commercialization.

This allowed Snapchat to go on the right track and develop at the commercial level.

Now with Ziwei Xing, this is no longer a problem.

"Right, one more thing."

"Ok?"

"The dust has settled on Yahoo, and we just need to go through all the procedures." Yang Zhiyuan wants to fulfill all his commitments at Yahoo. "At the beginning of the year, I had an agreement with Ali to hold Yahoo Ali shares, take out half of them and let them buy back."

Now the Yahoo thing is settled.

It's time to fulfill this old agreement, talk to Ali, and allow Ali to buy back 20% of the shares.

Zhou Buqi understood it as soon as he heard it. After all, the companies of the two companies have merged, and everyone has already formed an alliance. He smiled and said, "Yes, how about...how hard you are, keep an eye on it?"

This is what Yang Zhiyuan meant. He has been away from the main line of the Internet for a long time, and now he finally has the opportunity to return to the core area by relying on the platform of Ziweixing. He said happily: "Okay, then I will promote this matter."

……

In the evening, in the study.

Zhou Buqi was on the phone, a little frowning, "Real Madrid offer Gareth Bale? How much?"

David Gill said: "There is a lot of sincerity. The first offer reached 8000 million pounds, which has already reached the transfer price that was used to buy Ronaldo."

"Where's Bell?" Zhou Buqi continued to ask, "What's his opinion?"

David Gill sighed, "There are two special clubs in Europe, almost no player can refuse them, one is Real Madrid, and the other is Barcelona."

Zhou Buqi said: "I know Bell's character. He is very humble, and he is not quite the same as Ronaldo. It is a bit like Messi with Ronaldo's style of play."

David Gill said with a smile: "Yes, I talked to him on the phone and talked to his agent. He really wanted to join Real Madrid, but he also understood that Manchester United developed him, and Manchester United is in transition. A transition period. He said he would not embarrass the club at this time."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Where's the head coach?"

David Gill said: "Neither the head coach nor the sports director wants Bell to leave the team, at least to stay in the team next season. Bell is the core player of the team. This season Manchester United won the two indicators of the League and the League Cup, but The team's style of play is still being adjusted, and the departure of key players will bring great trouble to the work of the coaching team."

Zhou Buqi said: "Then don't sell it yet."

David Gill said: "Real Madrid's attitude seems to be very firm and sincere. I estimate that the offer can even reach 9000 million pounds. In this year's Champions League, Real Madrid eliminated Manchester United in the semi-finals, but in the final, Real Madrid lost to Chelsea. Real Madrid have not won the Champions League for ten years, and now they see the light. They are eager to introduce Bale and help them win the Champions League."

Zhou Buqi said: "It's not a question of money. Manchester United still can't destroy the existing team building ideas. Bale is Manchester United's number 7. It is not easy to find a successor to the number 7 jersey in the transfer market in a short time."

"Then wait until next season?"

David Gill is not the kind of broken-down family, he respects the personal attitude of the players.If the player wants to transfer and leave, even if the team can rely on the contract to force the player to stay, it is not a glorious thing.

Gareth Bale wants to go to Real Madrid.

Even if Manchester United is unwilling, they cannot force them to stay, just like they did not force Ronaldo to stay.

Zhou Buqi said: "Then next season, within a year, can we find a suitable replacement player?"

"In the past two seasons, Manchester United has been working hard to promote the commercial development of the South American market." David Gill is really an excellent CEO, and he is resolutely implementing the decision of the big boss. The key is to have star players."

"From South America? From Brazil?" Zhou Buqi immediately thought, "Neymar?"

David Gill said: "Yes, European football has been paying attention to him, but he has stayed in Brazil for the past few years. One very important reason is that part of his personal property rights are in the hands of the team, and part of them are in his hands. The hands of the family. They have been trying to get a transfer fee that is sky-high."

The current football bubble is not so serious. The annual salary of tens of millions is the top high salary, and the transfer fee exceeds 5000 million euros, then it can cause a sensation in the world.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Do you understand the situation? How much is the transfer fee?"

David Gill said: "It is said that the transfer fee and commission they asked for totaled more than seventy-eight million euros. This is the price of a top European player. A kid who has never been to Europe is still full of uncertainties." Sex, it's hard for a club to pay such a large fee."

Zhou Buqi said decisively: "Manchester United can make a move."

"Sure?"

David Gill took a deep breath.

Neymar is currently the biggest star player in the Brazilian team. Once the transaction is completed, it can greatly promote the development and promotion of Manchester United in the Brazilian market.

Manchester United is the overlord of the English-speaking countries.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are the overlords of Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking and other language-speaking countries.

If Manchester United wants to further expand its influence, it must go to the sphere of influence of Real Madrid and Barcelona to grab territory.

Winning Neymar is a good strategy.

Real Madrid want to buy Gareth Bale, the best player in the Premier League for two consecutive years.

Then Manchester United will copy their retreat.

Zhou Buqi said: "That's it! Don't move this year, communicate with all parties, and let Bell stay with the team for another season. Wait until next summer, and then introduce Neymar wearing Manchester United's No. 7 jersey to replace him. Bell."

It's just a small matter in the team, and Zhou Buqi can simply make a phone call and talk about it.

People in the United States should pay more attention to the business in the United States.

Needless to say, there is a linkage effect.

Marvel Pictures, a subsidiary of Ziwei Star Universal, released a super blockbuster "The Avengers", which ignited the entire summer season and even revived the North American box office market that had been sluggish for several years.

The heat of the film market rose immediately.

This new movie model of heroes gathering has also been strongly sought after by thousands of movie fans and comic fans.

Then, a mobile game quietly became popular in North America.

Also called The Avengers.

It can be seen from the name that this game must be developed by Changyou.Under the operation of Boss Zhou, only Changyou can get such a top IP.

This game was launched in February last year.

It was officially launched on May 5 this year.

It is a tower defense game.

The flow of the game is also simple, the villains come to attack, and the Marvel heroes release their skills to fight the villains, preventing them from breaking through the defense of the earth... It is essentially a tower defense game.

However, some heroes need to spend money, such as "Spiderman"; some skills also require in-game purchases, such as group defense and group damage, etc.

Leveraging on the popularity of the movie, this mobile game quickly dominated the charts in the United States, and entered the top 5 free games in both the Apple and Android app stores.

Today is October 6th.

The game has been online for more than a month, and it has already generated 2.1 million US dollars in revenue, and the number of paying players has reached 423 million.In the North American market, the game revenue of "The Avengers" is almost the same as the box office of the movie.

This is a mobile game planned, developed and promoted according to the will of Boss Zhou.

The market once again proves it.

The Big Boss is the Big Boss. He seems to be omnipotent, and he has really promoted the deep integration of games and movies at the operational level.The effect is surprisingly good. With the long-term development of the "Avengers" series, it seems that similar games will have a long life.
