Yu Dong actually knew that the reason why Yu Hua spoke sourly was because he wanted to comfort himself in a special way, but he really didn't pay much attention to the Mao Dun Literature Award.
It's not that Yu Dongduo is arrogant and thinks that the Contradiction Literature Award is not worthy of him, but his attitude towards the award is the same now. If I win it, I will be lucky, if I lose it, I will die. Don't force it.
If you have this time, it’s better to think about more realistic things.
"You came here just to tell me this?" Yu Dong asked with a smile.
Yu Hua took the opportunity to sit down on the sofa in the living room and said with a smile: "What can I do? I just came here to tell you this. By the way, I heard that you are giving extra classes to the theater students recently?"
Yu Dong explained, "It's not about adding classes, it's about adjusting classes for them, moving all the classes after mid-December to the front. I want to finish the classes quickly, and then I can free up time to do the Olympic bid."
Work, since I am the Olympic bid ambassador, I can’t just do nothing.”
Yu Hua said with a smile, "It seems that you really attach great importance to the Olympic Games. I think some experts have analyzed that the success rate of Yanjing's bid for the Olympics is quite high this time."
"It's quite high." Yu Dong nodded.
Yu Dong is not too worried about Yanjing's successful bid, because the situation this time is much better than the previous one.
Both foreigners' impressions of China and China's economic strength are stronger than in the previous life. Except for the Jinling area, there may be obvious gaps in economic strength in other places, but foreigners' impressions of China are definitely much better.
This will not only affect the bid for the Olympics, but will also affect the revenue from officially hosting the Olympics in the future and the popularity of the event.
"I heard that the company is going to organize the Chinese team to play a commercial match with the Premier League football team?" Yu Hua asked again, he was quite concerned about the football match.
Yu Dong nodded, "Well, we have already made an appointment. There will be three games in total. Not all of them are in the Premier League. One is Manchester United, one is Arsenal, and one is Nottingham Forest, which was relegated last year."
These three teams are all very famous in England. Although Nottingham Forest was relegated, they have also had great successes. After all, they are a team that has won the Champions League twice.
"What the hell, how many teams are there?" Yu Hua was shocked.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "Both games between Manchester United and Arsenal are performances. Play hard against Nottingham Forest and learn."
"It's interesting. Take me with you when the time comes. I'll show the Chinese team the water fountain."
"Okay, you go and tell me about it. Don't talk about the water dispenser. I'll let you play when the time comes."
Yu Hua exclaimed, "It's great to have money, but I still won't get into it. It's too embarrassing. Then I can just go to Old Trafford and Highbury and walk on their grass."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "You can watch football, but when you get to Europe, we have to arrange other activities for you, such as autograph signings and interviews, so you can't just go and play."
Yu Hua immediately rolled his eyes, "Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you go to watch a game, you will have to work hard for you."
"I'm here entirely on a voluntary basis. It's up to you whether you want to go or not."
"Go, of course I'm going. I'll tell Feiyu and the others later." Yu Hua stood up, then thought of something again, and said, "'The Martian' will be released soon. Help us get some tickets in advance. Haiguo heard that the movie was about to be released and clamored to see it. This kid doesn't like reading, but he likes watching movies. He says every day that he wants to be a director in the future."
"It's good to have something you like. It's still early for the movie. Don't worry, the company will book the theater to watch it."
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
…
The Mao Dun Literary Award attracted a lot of attention on the first day, so much so that content related to the results of the Mao Dun Literary Award could be seen everywhere on the Deep Space Tribe.
But on the second day, the situation suddenly changed. Many netizens discovered that there were far fewer messages related to the Mao Dun Literature Award on the Deep Space Tribe. If you didn’t search specifically, you couldn’t see Mao Dun on the homepage or popular news. A few words for literary prize.
On the very next day, the official account of Deep Space Company posted several updates in succession.
The first one is related to movie theaters. There are 28 movie theaters across the country that will release some movie tickets online for netizens to book online. The specific operation method is for netizens to click on the official tribe of the movie theater on the website to select seats and complete the reservation.
After the reservation is successful, you must go to the local cinema to complete the payment and pick up the tickets at least two days before the movie is shown.
This booking model sounds inconvenient at all, because it requires the audience to go to the cinema in advance to complete the payment and pick up the tickets, which requires one more trip than going directly to the cinema to buy tickets.
However, for some in-demand shows where it is difficult to buy tickets, netizens can grab tickets online, which is a benefit to netizens. They no longer have to go to the cinema and squeeze in line at the window to buy tickets.
The second tribe of Deep Space is still related to movie theaters, because "The Martian" will be released in more than a month. In order to give back to the fans, Deep Space Company is about to give away 500 movie tickets online.
However, there is a small problem with the ticket delivery this time, and that is that it will be difficult to get the tickets, because these tickets are only limited to those 28 specific cinemas. If the winner is not in the city where these cinemas are located, I am afraid that he will not be able to watch it. Up.
Of course, even if you don't like it, it can still be transferred.
The third tribe is related to football. During the winter break, the Chinese team will go to England to play a commercial match with three teams: Manchester United, Arsenal, and Nottingham Forest.
Article 4: In order to ensure the experience of tourists, this year’s Deep Space Annual Conference implements a reservation system. Tourists who want to visit the Deep Space Park can make reservations through several online and offline methods.
As soon as these tribes came out, and the website specifically restricted the traffic, the number of netizens paying attention to the Mao Dun Literary Award decreased a lot.
In just two or three days, there were basically not many people paying attention to the Mao Dun Literature Award in the evening. Many people originally paid attention to the award because of Yu Dong. Since Yu Dong did not win the award, although everyone was unhappy, there was nothing they could do about it. , you can’t go looking for Qi Shou every day.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The most important thing is that Yu Dong himself will not make any response, and the Deep Space Company will not make any response.
In this way, the popularity of the Mao Dun Literature Prize experienced huge peaks and troughs within a few days, which was something the award committee did not expect.
This matter was done by Jimmy. When he first learned that Yu Dong did not win the award, Jimmy regretted it for five seconds and then decided that he would make a wave of "regrets". Therefore, the popularity of the Mao Dun Literature Award that day was so high that it seemed that the whole world
Knowing that Yu Dong had not won the award, public opinion even deliberately guided in the direction of "Yu Dong may have encountered a shady plot."
But one day later, Jimmy discovered that there was something wrong with the dynamics of the Mao Dun Literature Award Committee. Many netizens went to criticize them, but they did not resist at all, and even greeted them with smiles.
Seeing this, Jimmy probably knew that the award committee also hoped to use this matter to create a wave of popularity and increase the reputation of the award.
Then Jimmy stopped doing it. They had always been the ones to take advantage of other people's enthusiasm. How could there be any reason for others to take advantage of them? So he asked the company to lower the interest of the matter.
Jimmy also figured it out. It didn't matter whether he won the prize or not. Making money was the most important thing now.
Therefore, he just casually asked about the awards. In the past few days, most of his thoughts were focused on two companies. One was Mao Da Fu, which he and Yu Dong reopened.
Doctor Cat has just acquired pets and is in the digestion stage. There are many things that require his personal attention.
The company Pets has only two and a half valuable things to Dr. Cat. One is the website. Although setting up a website is not a special technology, Pets itself is a mature website and can be used directly.
Saved a lot of things.
The other is the warehouse of the pets company. For the pet supplies mall that is about to be integrated, it is very important to have a complete warehouse system.
The other half is the pets mascot sock puppet. Jimmy is ready to launch a series of development plans around this mascot. By that time, I am afraid that things related to Doctor Cat and Deep Space Company will no longer be hidden. I think
To develop the sockpuppet IP, the resources of Deep Space Company must be used.
Apart from Doctor Cat, Jimmy's remaining thoughts are focused on another company called Confinity, which was established just two years ago and specializes in providing online trading tools for individual users. It just launched email payment last year.
After the other party registers their account, as long as they know the other party's email account, they can make free payments.
As for the company's profits, it comes from the interest on user account balances placed in the bank.
This company performed very well in the first half of this year and gained many users on ebey.
For the sake of Deep Space Company's electronic payment territory, Jimmy hopes to win this company.
This company seems to be on the rise now, and it may not be easy to win. However, Jimmy has also analyzed that Confinity relies too much on eBay. Even if it temporarily defeats eBay's own payment system Billpoint, it will still face huge competition.
pressure.
At this time, Confinity had only two options, either to be acquired by eBay, or to find another path for itself.
Compared with eBay, Jimmy can obviously provide a broad road for Confinity. In addition to the points system deployed by Deep Space, which can be directly grafted, Amazon, controlled by Deep Space Company, can also be used by Confinity.
As long as Confinity is willing to embrace deep space, their development will definitely be better than with eBay.
But this matter encountered a little trouble. Confinity’s boss, Musk, a young man under thirty years old, and his partners were willing to hand over the company to Deep Space, but Musk proposed that all Confinity’s shares should be exchanged for
Amazon stock is worth $180 million, and the price Jimmy is willing to give is $140 million in cash.
Of course Jimmy is not willing to do it, so wouldn't he lose 40 million US dollars?
Originally, Jimmy was going to take some time to have a good chat with Musk and the others, but what he didn't expect was that Musk proposed again that he didn't want Amazon's stock. He wanted 15% of Deep Space Computer's shares.
Jimmy will definitely not do it under this condition. Now that the deep space computer is put on the market, it is impossible to be worth this little money.
Of course, Musk is also very powerful. He even sent an analysis report to Jimmy, listing a series of benefits of Deep Space Company’s acquisition of Confinity, and proposed that if Deep Space Company misses this opportunity to acquire Confinity, what will happen next
The amount paid was definitely more than 180 million US dollars.
After seeing this analysis report, Jimmy knew that he had met a master this time.
It was also because of this analysis report that Yu Dong went to Musk again, had a frank discussion, and finally decided to complete the company's merger and acquisition through equity swap, with Confinity's shares being valued at 1.6 billion Amazon shares.
Equity swap mergers and acquisitions have many benefits for Musk and others. Not only has the amount increased from 140 million to 160 million, but the transaction process can also enable tax planning.
However, after reaching an agreement, Jimmy still asked Musk very curiously, "Why did you choose Amazon's stock? The current market situation of this stock is not very good, and most people are afraid to buy it. If I buy the stock today
After giving it to you, the stock price will fall, and you will lose money."
Musk shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I don't care about Amazon's stock price at all. I only care about the development of your company. You are Amazon's largest shareholder. If the stock price falls, you will lose the most. But you really
Whether you believe in Amazon's future or find a way to escape in the future, this stock will rise."
Jimmy nodded, that's fine. If you directly exchange the stocks to Confinity Company, you can also leave 140 to 50 million in cash. You can do whatever you want. Even if you use the money to buy back stocks later, you won't lose.
After all, this is all cash.
In fact, what Jimmy admires most about Musk is not his courage to acquire stocks, but his ability to persuade other partners to agree to his stock swap plan, which shows that the other partners believe in him.
After the merger and acquisition of the company, Peter Thiel will still serve as CEO. Next, Deep Space Company will focus on developing electronic payment systems.
