Yu Dong could probably guess that Yang Qing called him directly, and he must have been rejected by Yuliang.
Yang Qing looked for Yiliang, and one can imagine the result. Since the last chat with Yu Dong, Yiliang probably had the idea of ​​overthrowing Lenovo in his mind, so how could he possibly cooperate with them.
Of course Yu Dong doesn't want to cooperate with Lenovo. On the one hand, it's naturally because Lenovo cooperates with AOL, but the most important thing is that Yu Dong doesn't like Lenovo's comprehensive strength.
Since we are hosting a world e-sports competition, even if we don’t use the best equipment, we must at least choose from first-tier manufacturers. Lenovo currently has no way to enter the list of competition equipment suppliers.
Before Lenovo, there were actually many manufacturers who came to contact us about cooperation, including HP, Dell, Samsung and other well-known brands. Lenovo was not competitive in terms of technology and reputation in front of them.
Without thinking much about it, Yu Dong said, "Mr. Yang, I basically don't care about the company's affairs. I'm afraid you have to communicate more with Yili about this matter. Of course, if conditions permit, I definitely hope to communicate more with domestic officials."
Cooperation with manufacturers, after all, they are all Chinese companies and need to support each other. If we think about grabbing the domestic market with foreign companies every day, our Chinese companies will not be able to go global, don't you think?"
Yang Qing, who was on the other end of the phone, was stunned by the words about a gun and a stick. He didn't expect that Yu Dong, who looked like a scholar on the outside, turned out to be a man with hidden agendas.
Yu Dong's words were a mockery of Lenovo's cooperation with AOL and the competition with Deep Space. Yang Qing had anticipated this situation before making this call, but he still made the call because he believed that commercial activities
, as long as the benefits are sufficient, if Lenovo can provide a condition that satisfies Deep Space, Deep Space will definitely put aside its past resentments and cooperate with them.
"Mr. Yu, don't you want to hear our quotation first? I heard that you spent nearly 200 million U.S. dollars to acquire the Vivendi business unit, and more than 10 million U.S. dollars to prepare for WCG. Plus
You have several movies in the process of being shot, and you must be under a lot of financial pressure recently. I also heard that you have recently started to attract investment for movie production in China."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Yang Qing had done some research on their company, but the investigation was not sufficient.
This cannot be blamed on Yang Qing. After all, Deep Space’s finances are very opaque, and the company has a lot of income that outsiders don’t know about.
Let’s talk about the previous cooperation between Motorola and Deep Space. New mobile phones came with small pendants, but the pendants were not free. Motorola had to pay Deep Space two dollars for every one sold.
No one knew about this cooperation except the senior executives of both companies.
So far, for this cooperation alone, more than 20 million US dollars have been settled with Deep Space Company. This is only part of it, and a steady stream of payments will be transferred into Deep Space Company's account in the future.
In addition, Deep Space's copyright library has accumulated to a certain scale, and outsiders cannot make detailed statistics on the revenue these copyrights bring to Deep Space Company every year.
A-list writers like George R.R. Martin, J.K. Rowling, and Mark Levy may even do some research to sort out the profits they bring to Deep Space.
However, the income of a bunch of writers under Deep Space who are not as famous as them is also very considerable. There are so many of them that it is impossible to count them, and some IP transactions are undisclosed.
For example, Liu Cixin's "Whale Song" did not require a one-time payment, but chose a 1.5% box office share.
If the final box office can reach 100 million U.S. dollars, Liu Cixin will receive a remuneration of 1.5 million U.S. dollars. This 1.5 million U.S. dollars will require an 8% commission from the Deep Space Company, which is 120,000 U.S. dollars.
Even if the box office of "Whale Song" is not that high, if you remove half of it, the commission would still be US$60,000.
It doesn't sound like a lot, only 60,000 US dollars, but "Whale Song" is just an inconspicuous one among Deep Space Company's many IPs.
What is really more transparent is basically Deep Space's revenue from movie box office. Although this revenue is high, it only accounts for a small part of Deep Space's overall revenue.
Yang Qing probably heard that his company was borrowing money from China Film to raise funds for making movies, so he thought that Deep Space Company was short of money now, so he wanted to use money to impress Yu Dong.
Although he will definitely not cooperate with Lenovo, Du Dong still wants to hear Yang Qing's quotation and understand Lenovo's current situation. "Okay, Mr. Yang, tell me your quotation and I will see if it is suitable."
"Ten million. As long as your company is willing to use Lenovo computers in the World Electronic Game Economic Competition and cooperate with us in proper publicity, we are willing to pay 10 million in advertising fees."
"Appropriate publicity?" Yu Dong expressed doubts: "For example?"
"The content is very simple. We hope to set up a special booth for Lenovo in your company's campus. There will be our company's posters and banners at the competition site, and your company's website can also announce our sponsorship."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Yang, could it be that I misunderstood? The ten million you mentioned was not RMB, but US dollars?"
Yang Qing could hear something wrong in Yu Dong's tone, and knew that Yu Dong should be too little, "Mr. Yu, in addition to cash sponsorship, we will also help you fully promote WCG on FM365, and we will also provide some equipment as part of the competition.
For prizes, calculated this way, 10 million is definitely a lot. We do have cooperation with AOL, but our cooperation with them is not exclusive. We will definitely expand our cooperation partners, and Deep Space Company is also among our considerations.
Inside."
On the other end of the phone, Yu Dong couldn't help but shook his head. Yang Qing's pattern was still a bit small. Yang Qing wanted to use money to impress him, but the money given was too little, and no one had a clear understanding of their opponents.
know.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If it was Yanagawa who called today, the price given should be higher than this number, but probably not much higher.
Samsung sent people over to talk about advertising investment. They hope that all the screens used in the whole process of wcg will be theirs, including some of the TV broadcasts on the scene. They are also extraordinary, asking for three million US dollars, and look at them
With my attitude, the price can still be negotiated higher. It should be no problem if it reaches five or six million US dollars.
HP offered less, but it directly quoted a price of two million US dollars at the beginning, and did not ask Deep Space Company to help promote it.
Yang Qing used equipment and fm365 as bargaining chips, which Yu Dong found quite interesting. Perhaps in Yang Qing's view, fm365's propaganda power is very strong.
The reason why he has such confidence is because Millennium Computer is highly bound to fm365. The first thing that appears when all Millennium Computer users open their browser is the fm365 website. Millennium Computer has indeed sold well after it was launched, so this
The website received a lot of traffic as soon as it was launched.
But in fact, even if Millennium Computer users turn on their computers, the first thing they open is not a browser, but a click.
After they log in, they will open the browser, and then a large number of people will go directly to a website in the Deep Space series.
Therefore, Deep Space does not care about the traffic of fm365 at all.
Yu Dong probably knew Lenovo's conditions, so he had no intention of continuing the conversation with Yang Qing. He smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, you'd better go talk to Yu Liduo. He has been discussing this matter recently. It's really
I'm sorry."
After saying that, Yu Dong hung up the phone directly, then called Yiliang and asked about the situation at Lenovo.
When Yu Liang heard that Yang Qing had called Yu Dong, he gritted his teeth and said, "It is said outside that Yang Qing is a down-to-earth person who is not good at words. I think it is difficult to live up to that. He has dealt with three sponsorship matters."
I didn't hesitate when he called me, and discussed it carefully with him every time. However, their brand strength was really not strong enough, and the conditions they offered were also relatively poor, so there was no hope of cooperation. I guess they saw that I was not interested, so they went out of their way to
Find your contact information, boss, and hope to save the country. But this call should also be made by their chairman Yanagawa, what qualifications does Yang Qing have to directly contact you, boss?"
Yu Dong said with a smile: "There is no qualification or disqualification. I am not a king of heaven, superior to others, but this kind of thing should happen less often in the future. I just put Yu Yi to sleep and he called me. I almost
Wake up Yu Yi."
"Aren't Teacher Cheng and the others at home?"
"Well, I went to the mall, and I'll take care of her at home."
Yuliang laughed and said, "To be honest, I really want to go over now and see what it's like to take care of your children, boss. Will you be in a hurry?"
Yu Dong said without shame, "Of course, I can do it with ease."
"Boss, I advise you to be more modest and careful. If there is anything you missed, you won't be able to eat it until Teacher Cheng comes back."
"Don't question me..." mid-sentence, Yu Dong suddenly patted his head, "It's broken!"
Immediately, Yu Dong hung up the phone. Before Cheng Yanqiu left, he asked him to boil a pot of hot water, then pour a cup and put it in the thermostat. When Yu Dong woke up, he would make milk for her. However, after Yu Dong received a call from Yang Qing just now,
I talked to Yu Liang on the phone again and forgot about it.
Yuliang heard the busy tone on the other end of the phone and laughed.
…
Ge Hongwei drove to the largest bookstore in the town early in the morning. When the bookstore owner Harry Kane saw him coming, he smiled and pointed to the bookshelf in the front row, "The new books have arrived."
"Very punctual." Ge Hongwei smiled, walked to the bookshelf and picked up a copy of "The Snowman", and then walked to the cashier, "Am I the first one to come here to buy a book?"
The boss shook his head, "Chris is the one."
Ge Hongwei curled his lips, "It took me a while to build a snowman in the morning, otherwise I would definitely be the first one."
Harry Kane shrugged his shoulders. He had witnessed the entire story between Ge Hongwei and Chrissy.
Both of them are loyal readers of YU. They live in the south and north of the town respectively. The first time they met was in his bookstore.
It was the time when "Old Books" was released. Because Ge Hongwei was very busy during the day, he came very late. The store was already empty of customers, and there happened to be only the last "Old Books" in the bookstore.
In a small town like theirs, the boss is very cautious when purchasing goods. He did not expect that the "used book" would be sold so quickly that day.
Ge Hongwei wanted to buy the last book, but that book had already been reserved.
After being rejected by Harry Kane, Ge Hongwei did not give up and suggested that the boss sell the book to him first and wait until tomorrow to restock the goods, or he could go to another bookstore to buy it and return it to the bookstore tomorrow. Because he thought that it was so late that the person who ordered new books
The people will definitely not come.
But no matter which suggestion it was, the boss did not adopt it.
During the stalemate, Chris who ordered the books came and took the books away.
Because of this incident, the two of them had an intersection. Later, they often met in the bookstore, but every time they met, they would argue. When YU's new book was released, they would compare who came earlier and bought the first one.
a book.
What's even more amazing is that Ge Hongwei's real name is actually Thomas Knight. Just to show that he likes YU more than Chrissy, he changed his name to an authentic Chinese name like Ge Hongwei, and made Harry Kane certain
Call him that name - especially in front of Chrissy.
After paying the bill, Harry Kane asked with a smile, "Do you want to read in the bookstore today? I'll make you a cup of coffee later, it's free."
Ge Hongwei looked at the empty bookstore and shook his head, "Forget it, I'd better go back. Didn't I tell you that in order to read this book, I got up very early and built a snowman, which makes reading more interesting.
."
"Chrissy also built a snowman." Harry Kane said casually.
Hearing that Chris had also built a snowman, Ge Hongwei curled his lips and said, "It has nothing to do with me."
Ge Hongwei walked out of the bookstore and started the car. The car first walked south for a while, then suddenly turned around and headed north.
Harry Kane saw this scene clearly, and then he smiled. He guessed that this would be the case. Thomas must be going to see if Chris had built a snowman and how the snowman was doing.
This guy is just too competitive, otherwise, he and Chris would have been together long ago.
…
Ge Hongwei drove to the door of Kris' house and walked around. He saw that the snowman in front of Kris' house was only a few dozen centimeters tall, and had no nose or eyes. It was very different from the snowman he had built, so he went home satisfied.
.
Although he was not the first to buy the new book, at least he beat Chris when it came to building a snowman.
After returning home, Ge Hongwei poured himself a cup of tea, nestled comfortably on the sofa, looked at the tall snowman with a nose and eyes outside, and opened "The Snowman" very comfortably.
But not long after, when Ge Hongwei looked at the snowman outside the house, he suddenly shuddered.
He regretted a little. He shouldn't have built that snowman, at least he shouldn't have put eyes on it.
