Chapter 1418 The YouTube Pipeline Is to Be Sold
Why did Yang Dongxu insist on getting the same discounts as he did?
One of the important reasons is that he knew the market economy would be further opened up. As the CEO of several large and high-quality industries, he was an absolute favorite and he had the confidence to make demands.
Why did Qi Jinhai target him right away?
It was also because he was the hardest bone to chew among the current shareholders of Minsheng. If he was taken down, the other shareholders would basically be honest.
But although they had different positions, no one was wrong, but Qi Jinhai undoubtedly picked the wrong opponent.
Let’s not talk about anything else. After Yang Dongxu changed the cooperative bank for his subordinates, the cash flow of Minsheng fell a lot.
Another thing is the promotion of bank cards. In the past, Alipay binding was the first choice for Minsheng cards, and some of Yang Dongxu’s company employees’ salary settlement was also Minsheng cards.
Now they have all been changed to other banks. In the past few years, the number of new Minsheng account users has decreased a lot. After the market opened up, everyone was competing fiercely. You reduced your side, but others were actively grabbing the cake. The loss of this plus and minus is huge.
"Which bank is the company cooperating with now?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"CCB!"
"How are the preferential benefits they offer?"
"Pretty good. They have given us everything they can within the preferential range. Occasionally, when they have employee welfare tours, they will also give our company some places.
And the welfare benefits are floating, not fixed. Basically, if there are any changes in the banking regulations, or if they give some other policy support to enterprises and companies, they will notify us as soon as possible." Sun Yang said.
"Then you go and negotiate. If there are greater benefits, I don't mind switching back to Minsheng after the cooperation period expires. If there are no greater benefits, forget it." Yang Dongxu nodded.
Yang Dongxu didn't really care about changing the cooperative bank. On the contrary, he felt that this was pretty good. At least it can avoid the other party taking advantage of the familiarity. Every time you change the bank, you can gain a wave of benefits for yourself, which is quite cost-effective than buying and selling.
Of course, this kind of welfare cannot be endless. Both parties make profits, which is the basis for long-term cooperation. The bank has the China Banking Regulatory Commission.
It is impossible to cooperate with you at a loss. This is not to increase the performance of the bank, but to increase the burden on the bank. So it depends on the sincerity of both parties.
"Okay, by the way, President Wu of CCB has been wanting to invite you to dinner." Sun Yang said.
"Please help me to turn it down. If it doesn't work, notify Manager Chen and ask her to go to see him for me." Yang Dongxu said.
Compared with Sun Yang, the general manager of external affairs, Chen Xin, the boss in charge of the investment department of Sunrise Technology, undoubtedly has more things to do with banks.
In addition, with so much investment funds in hand and the high-quality investment industries accumulated over the years, Chen Xin is now full of confidence in both identity and status, not to mention that Yang Dongxu is standing behind him.
"Got it." Sun Yang nodded.
In terms of dealing with banks, he is indeed not as important as Chen Xin. More importantly, as the first unicorn in the game industry in China, he is really busy, and he naturally wants to have fewer social events.
Going home to sleep for an extra hour feels happier than having a big meal with others.
It is no longer a small apartment, but a duplex building in a high-end community. This is Chen Xin's new residence now.
That neighborhood looked really good back then, and the current housing prices are not low. But it is already an old neighborhood, and some parking spaces, elevators, and property management are relatively backward.
With Chen Xin's current status and job, it is a bit unsafe and inconvenient to live there. So Chen Xin moved to this duplex apartment last year.
Yang Dongxu chose the house. He originally wanted to choose a villa. But Chen Xin felt that it was too big and too spacious for him to live alone. So he chose this duplex.
Chen Xin took care of the decoration and furniture purchases, and Yang Dongxu, as the two-hand shopkeeper, just had to enjoy the results.
"Has YouTube started to operate the listing?" Chen Xin, who was wearing cool clothes and glasses, sat on the sofa in the living room.
She gave people the feeling of a quiet queen. She held the cut fruit in her hand and inserted a piece of it with a toothpick and put it into the mouth of Yang Dongxu who was reading the document.
"I guess this is about the same. So much money was raised before, and it was all smashed in with a hammer. The development is like a rocket. It can indeed be operated for listing." Yang Dongxu said while eating the apple in his mouth.
"What about YouTube?"
"Sell it." Yang Dongxu said.
"Sell it?" Chen Xin was surprised.
You know, according to her understanding of Yang Dongxu, the industry that can be the first in the industry has always been held in its hands and not even willing to go public. How could it be sold? This is too unexpected.
"YouTube is too isolated. If it is not sold, the development ceiling will soon reach the ceiling. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of listing and sell it directly now." Yang Dongxu said helplessly.
If he could, he naturally did not want to sell YouTube. After all, this is the world's largest video website in the future.
But as he said, YouTube is too independent. YY Video is backed by 361 and YY communication software. YouTube is a video website with nothing behind it.
In this way, whether it is from the perspective of customer flow or subsequent development, many resources cannot be solved by throwing money. And more importantly, this part is easy to imitate.
Any Internet industry with a large number of users can do this, and then YouTube users, who are tourists, will soon be divided and divided up, and they can't bear it at all.
Chen Xin frowned and thought for a while, slowly tasting what Yang Dongxu meant by "too isolated". She knew that the US Department of Commerce had been keeping an eye on Yang Dongxu in recent years.
So if there was no such surveillance, combining YouTube with Yiting Technology would undoubtedly be a very good result. Relying on Yiting Technology's huge user base, YouTube can develop very well.
But now this combination will obviously not be easy to pass the US Department of Commerce. Even if various restrictive policies are finally passed, it will still be more costly than gain.
So instead of not getting any benefits in the end, it is better to let Yiting Technology continue to maintain a tacit balance with the US Department of Commerce, and sell YouTube in a package.
"This is a bit too pity." Chen Xin was a little indignant.
It is obviously a company that can develop well and make more money, but because of this unfair treatment, it can only be sold to make a quick buck. Naturally, she feels unbalanced.
"The capital world is like this. After all, although capital has no borders, capitalists do. How could the other party quietly watch you eat all kinds of meat in his pot?
It's good enough to get a piece now, and you still want to take the other party's pot away?" Seeing Chen Xin frowning, Yang Dongxu leaned his head and kissed her forehead and said with a smile.
He was quite open-minded about this, which was also related to the fact that he had never thought of holding it for a long time when he invested in YouTube at the beginning, and had decided to sell it long ago. So selling YouTube was not something sudden and unexpected for him.
In fact, Chen Xin also understood this, but seeing that YouTube was developing better and better, it was expected that the stock price would soar after listing. Suddenly, she heard that such a good company was going to be sold, and she couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Who are you going to sell it to?" Chen Xin asked, inserting another piece of fruit into Yang Dongxu's mouth.
"Of course, we will sell it to whoever bids the highest. Anyway, we will sell it all in a package. How YouTube will develop in the future has nothing to do with us, so we don't need to consider who will buy it and how it will affect YouTube in the future. It all depends on the money." Yang Dongxu said very directly.
Chen Xin rolled her eyes at him.
"But no matter who you sell it to, the other party must be prepared to bleed. The world's number one video website now has more than 130 million users, of which more than 40 million are paying users.
And this number of users will continue to expand rapidly to other countries with the development of the world's Internet. If you don't bleed well, you won't be able to take over YouTube." Yang Dongxu added.
Because of sufficient funds, plus Kennedy and Jack Jr.'s various assistances in the back, YouTube's development is not enough to describe its speed.
It's almost reaching the speed of light. When Jack Jr. invested in YouTube, the valuation of YouTube was less than 100 million US dollars, and now it's only been half a year.
The total valuation of YouTube has exceeded 3 billion US dollars, which has increased more than 30 times in half a year. And after the listing, this market value may turn over again. Do you believe it?
In fact, Yang Dongxu didn't expect such a perverted development speed of YouTube.
Or he misjudged the participation of big families and big chaebols like Kennedy and Jack Jr. After all kinds of political audits have been green-lit, and all kinds of policy subsidies and benefits have been maximized. How amazing is the speed at which a company takes off.
In short, before, Jack invested in YouTube, just to ease the embarrassment of losing the arms order and improve the points lost in his own consortium.
Now that YouTube is so popular, Jack has not only made up all the points he lost before, but also added a lot of points on the original basis. It can be said that he took off with YouTube.
So what everyone is doing now is to keep pouring money into YouTube and continue to expand the international market of YouTube, so that it can see whether the number of users can reach 200 million before listing, and lay the foundation for the surge in stock prices.
"Do you have any work arrangements recently?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Dealing with various investment matters, every day." Chen Xin said.
"Then deal with it quickly, I'll take you on a trip."
"Hmm?" Chen Xin's face was surprised at first, and then the surprise turned into surprise.
"That's it, I won't go far, I'll take you to Macau and Southeast Asia." Yang Dongxu said.
"Are you going there to take care of something?"
"It's just a simple trip, and I just happen to have nothing to do now." Yang Dongxu said.
Yang's parents didn't want to travel, and Xiaohutou's mother didn't want to go to Europe.
So after Xiao Wenchen was sent to his hometown during the summer vacation, Zhou Ya began to fly around the country to handle the affairs of Runyu Fund. Therefore, Yang Dongxu was left with nothing to do and didn't know what to do.
