Chapter 626 Platform Transfer
In the restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel, Zhang Pingan, the principal, and some of his friends were sitting in a private room, drinking and eating, and talking about the issue of equity acquisition. Well, China seems to have a habit of 'talking about business over a wine table'. Many business discussions are concluded over a wine table. So tonight's dinner with only a group of big men was very routine.
There are no beauties to add to the fun, and there are no pretty girls toasting or persuading people to drink. Zhang Pingan and his party were eating vegetables, drinking wine, and chatting about daily life topics.
One of the second-generation locals in Shanghai smiled and picked up a glass of red wine, sniffed it, took a sip and said, "Hey, after I came back from overseas, I had nothing to do every day. It's still Brother An." If you and the principal have their own things to do, your life will not be so empty, right?"
Some second-generation people have become idlers after returning from overseas gold-plating. Anyway, there is no shortage of money, and it doesn't matter whether they go to work in the family company or not. After all, most of the families of Zhang Ping'an's generation are only children. No matter what they become in the future, they will take over their own family businesses.
Even if those who have really learned some skills overseas come back and now go to work in their own home industry, they will be at the middle level at most and cannot be the top decision-making level. So even if they have big ambitions in their hearts, they can't realize them as long as their family members are still sitting in the boss's position.
Over time, many second-generation people are tired of such a depressing life. When they go to work, it's not their turn to make the final decision about the company's affairs. I look like an ordinary office worker every day, so I might as well play outside. Or they can reach out to their family members and ask them to give them some money to go out and start their own business, but you also need to have a good investment direction to make a name for yourself, right?
The principal owns an investment company. His small investment company started with a start-up capital of 500 million, but with abundant sources of information, he still gained a lot in the market. After all, his family business is now considered the top commercial real estate in China, and it also has many other overseas layouts. In such a large enterprise, he can get some resources no matter what. So it’s totally fine for the principal to take his own time.
Not to mention Zhang Pingan, he joined the most lucrative industry when the live streaming platform was just starting out. He has advanced vision and layout, making the platform the number one in China. Moreover, he has also made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. You must know that the place where he went to make a career was overseas, which was a place where he had no leverage.
If his entertainment career is in China, then more or less families can help and take care of him, but Zhang Pingan's entertainment career is in South Korea, a place with a relatively advanced entertainment industry. Everyone present understands the truth that the more advanced the industry, the greater the competition! And Zhang Pingan used his own strength to create his own business card, which I have to admit is very impressive.
Listen to this second generation,
Zhang Ping'an laughed, "You are looking for yourself a goal in life."
In fact, it is quite empty for the rich second generation like this to live a life of drunkenness and dreams every day. Although they can call their friends with just one phone call at night, the second generation are not stupid. They know what those who are willing to come out are for. Either there is an advantage to take advantage of, or it is profitable. But when people are so lonely that they don't care about their inner calculations. They just want to relieve their loneliness, that's all.
In today's era, as long as there is no intellectual problem, there is no real fool. After all, everyone has a steelyard in their hearts. Some things are just not explained.
Zhang Ping'an's words made the second generation who lived a relatively empty life nod and said, "Yes, no matter what your lifestyle is, you must have a goal, otherwise there is no difference from the walking dead."
Zhang Ping'an said with a smile, "Many people outside are envious of the life of singing and dancing every night."
"Ha~~ Shengge every night? Are you really not afraid of kidney failure?"
The second generation are typical well-fed men who don’t know that hungry men are hungry. Perhaps there is no shortage of women in their lives, so they have experienced too many things like being a groom every night and really don’t have much interest in them. Whether it is beauties or beautiful scenery, you will get tired of admiring them every day. The same principle applies to those love actions. Even if you play with a new face every day, one day you will get tired of this kind of thing.
The principal smiled and said, "Emotions, in our lives, may be just a tonic. By the way, don't you live a relatively empty life? Just in time, An Geer is planning to shift his focus to the entertainment industry, but live broadcasting cannot be managed. , are you interested?"
"Yes, I have"
Things kicked off, and everyone started talking about the shares held by Zhang Pingan, as well as the heavyweight contracted anchors he held. The final price fell on ‘5.8 billion’, and Zhang Pingan transferred everything to them. There are five of them in total, and each of them invested more than one billion yuan.
Zhang Pingan felt that the price was acceptable, so he agreed to handle the handover at the company tomorrow morning. When Zhang Pingan first invested in the platform, he spent close to hundreds of millions of dollars. Now that he has made 60 times his profit, he feels it is enough. Although Zhang Pingan is very clear that the valuation of the live broadcast platform may double next year, he must let them see some profit before they take over.
Live streaming has become very popular in the past two years, but in another two years, that is, it will enter a period of stagnation starting from 2018. Even later, fewer and fewer people will watch live streaming, and the popular anchors and internet celebrities will gradually be eliminated by the market. After all, most people who watch live streaming are ordinary people. Maybe at the beginning, they will impulsively give 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. But after the impulse, they will feel powerless and lost, and in the end, they will be full of regret.
After all, everyone is stupid. After you give 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in rewards, you will only hear a few words, such as "brother is handsome" and "brother is generous", and you can't even hold hands, let alone other things~~. So when the people wake up, the popularity of live streaming will naturally go down, at least in the later period, there will be no such impulsive people. Whatever you come or not, you will give 100,000 or 1 million yuan in rewards. After all, the rich second generation doesn't play anymore, and the people can't afford to give rewards.
So at this time, it is best for Zhang Pingan to choose to withdraw wisely.
In mid-July, a heavy news came from the consulting platform. Panda Live completed the transaction. The principal acquired the live streaming platform in Zhang Pingan's hands. As for how much money was spent on the acquisition, only a few people know. Zhang Pingan has withdrawn from the live broadcast platform in a gorgeous manner.
On the day of the complete handover, Zhang Pingan called the anchors in his hands out for a meal, and said with a smile, "Brother An, why did you sell the platform? I think the future of the live broadcast industry is full of money."
Zhang Pingan just smiled and responded, "I'm short of money for investing in other industries, so I bought tickets."
On the day of dining with the anchors, Zhang Pingan invited them to KTV to play, and the consumption was as high as 880,000 yuan in one night. This consumption quickly became a hot search on Weibo the next day. Zhang Pingan said goodbye to the contracted anchors of the original platform and spent 880,000 Chinese yuan in KTV.
Of course, this consumption is still much worse than the 2.5 million yuan that the principal spent a few years later, but in 2015, Zhang Pingan squandered nearly one million Chinese yuan in one night, which is still a big news.
In mid-July, Zhang Pingan landed in Yanjing, and he met Pang Di at the hotel in the evening. Pang Di, who had just returned from overseas, sat alone in a private room with Zhang Pingan in the hotel restaurant to eat dinner. Fat Di looked at Zhang Pingan and asked, "Did you really sell your platform? Aren't people optimistic about the live broadcast industry?"
Zhang Pingan took a sip of beer and said, "The market has become chaotic, so I sold it as soon as possible. Do you know? Someone offered a 50 million yuan job-hopping signing fee to my traffic anchor! In order to gain traffic, each platform has already praised the anchors too much. So I quit. If you play like this, sooner or later the live broadcast industry will be killed!"
Fat Di has big eyes, but when she heard the 50 million yuan signing fee, her eyes widened even more, "50 million? Isn't this too scary?"
Zhang Pingan nodded and said, "Yes, poaching people in the market seems to be free. They raise funds while spending money to poach people for traffic anchors. If my anchors were not signed by the company a long time ago, I guess they would have been I couldn't resist the temptation and changed jobs. 50 million, I only signed with them for a few million. In more than a year, their value has increased tenfold! ! "
"How much did you sell the platform to the principal? Well, I just asked casually, no other meaning. "
Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "It's not the principal who invested alone, he has several partners behind him. The platform and the anchor, all packaged together, are several billion. However, this time I came to Yanjing, I invested all of it in a technology company. The one that makes "Toutiao", you know it?"
Listening to the software Zhang Pingan mentioned, Pang Di said depressedly, "Ah~~ That thing that pops up every day for no reason. Are you optimistic about that company? "
Zhang Pingan nodded and said, "Yeah. It seems that their family is developing short videos recently, and they just have some funding gaps, so I invested the money from selling the platform. "
Investing in companies or software, she doesn't know much, so just listen. Anyway, Pang Di never worried about Zhang Pingan's future after knowing his family background? Because she knew very well that the power held by Zhang Pingan's family was quite terrifying. Even if he lost all the money he had, it would not affect his life.
