Chapter 217 Second Contact
Jing Gao originally came to talk with Jobs about "Easy Arrival", and he was interested in the "public power" contained in the field of travel.Unexpectedly, Mr. Jia intended to sell the mobile phone business.This is a surprise!
In 2016, the field of mobile phones has basically become a "red sea", and the competition between major manufacturers is very fierce.
Yu Chengdong, head of Huawei's mobile phone business, published his opinion in newspapers every day: Only three mobile phone manufacturers will survive in the end.
According to statistics in January 2016, in 1, among the top ten mobile phone manufacturers in the world, there were seven domestic brands: Huawei, Xiaomi, Lenovo, oppo, vivo, TCL, and ZTE.Behind them are Coolpad, Gionee, and Meizu.
In the first half of this year, the situation changed.The sales of Xiaomi declined, Lenovo failed to integrate Motorola's mobile phone business, and oppo's sales of the explosive mobile phone R9 surged.Its brother manufacturer Vivo has risen by relying on the dealer channel that has been deeply involved in the Chinese market for many years when the dividends of online channels disappear.
And LeTV mobile phones came in by relying on hardware subsidies.The one that was squeezed out of the top ten is Coolpad.LeEco also holds an 18% stake in Coolpad.
By July of this year, only Huawei was left to dominate the "China Cool Alliance" in the era of smartphones.
Under such circumstances, Jing Gao is still very interested in entering the mobile phone industry.
Very simple logic, the mobile phone industry is still a high-tech industry, and taxes are paid according to this.And mobile phone manufacturing is a typical manufacturing industry.He doesn't care if he can make money, as long as the industry exists.
...
...
The morning sun fell on a corner of the small bright meeting room. Jing Gao put down the pen in his hand and said, "Mr. Jia, I am very interested in LeTV's mobile phone business. What is the exclusive agreement?"
Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief.Unexpectedly, Phoenix Fund is willing to take over the mobile phone business!From his point of view, LeTV's mobile phone business has suffered serious losses, which is a heavy burden.It's good to throw it out.
And the money from the sale of the mobile phone business is enough to tide LeEco through.LeEco mobile phones can sell at least $50 billion.
Lao Jia is still at a high level!
Jobs put his hands together, put them on the glass conference table, and said passionately: "Mr. Jing, LeEco has seven ecosystems. It is based on the Internet cloud ecology. The mobile phone ecology is a very important part of LeEco's ecological transformation.
Centered on users, a closed loop is formed through terminal mobile phone hardware, LeTV applications, LeTV.com, content platforms, cloud platforms and big data.
Therefore, I hope Mr. Jing can continue to maintain close cooperation with LeTV's major ecosystems after he gets the mobile phone business. "
I'll go, Jobs' words are too well packaged.
Inoko didn't understand.
Liu Hong smiled wryly in his heart, and explained: "Boss Jing, we are currently at war with major video sites. For example, our LeTV TV can only broadcast programs related to LeTV.
What Lao Jia meant was that LeEco mobile phones can be sold, but they have to stay in the same camp as us.Mobile Internet is currently a major trend.LeTV does not want to lose this user portal. "
Jing Gao nodded and said: "If it's an exclusive agreement, I hope it will only be signed for three years. I can accept the priority cooperation agreement."
The exclusive agreement is: when 360 and QQ fought, only one of the two software could be installed.This is very unfriendly to mobile phone users.He accepts it for three years at most.If we cooperate, it will be fine for a longer time.
Jabbs frowned slightly, and communicated with Liu Hong silently.
At this time, Qiao Shuang handed over a note, which read: Mr. Jing, according to the "7 China Unicorn Enterprise Valuation Ranking Top 1" released by iResearch on July 2016, among which "LeTV Mobile" Ranked 300th, with a valuation of $15 billion.
The acquisition of LeTV's mobile phone business is a bigger deal than buying LeTV Sports.Xiao Qiao's mood is a little excited!
After a while, Jobs smiled and said, "Boss Jing, let the people below discuss the details later. Let's make an appointment for the next meeting. Then, find a place to drink tea, and I will introduce you to some friends who are engaged in the media. know."
Although Phoenix Film and Television is small and established for a short period of time, it is well-known in several circles of Chinese opera.
Currently, LeTV is still at its peak.Almost half of the entertainment industry is a shareholder of LeTV Pictures.It is a star company in the circle.The "Little Times" series of movies that collect IQ tax is the representative work of LeTV Pictures.
At the same time, Zhang Guoshi is currently signed to LeTV Pictures.Guo Xiaosi, Huang Xiaoming, Pingxi Wang, Guomin’s wife, and Zeng Xiaoxian are all shareholders of LeTV Pictures.
Jing Gao happily said, "Okay."
...
...
The noon meal was eaten in a private kitchen in a courtyard, and the environment was very quiet.Accompanying guests are Su Mang, editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar, Zhang Zhao, CEO of LeTV Pictures, and Liu Tao, who became popular because of the hit Ode to Joy.
After a meal, these people are basically flattering Jing Gao: he is young and promising, he is surging forward, and so on.
The delicate and shy Guan Yujia is regarded as Jing Gao's woman by default, and is also highly praised.It's not that she refused, and it's not that she didn't refuse.
What's more interesting is that Jobs, who was eloquent in negotiations and on the podium, was taciturn during the dinner, and seemed to be a bit socially phobic.
"Mr. Jing, goodbye!" Outside the courtyard, Jabs took his confidant Zhang Zhao, and two accompanying guests to bid farewell to Jing Gao and the others.
"goodbye!"
Jing Gao and Jobs shook hands to say goodbye, took Xiao Qiao and Guan Yujia to sit in the black Rolls-Royce, and leaned slightly on the seat.Just had some wine at the wine table.
Xiao Qiao and Guan Yujia chatted enthusiastically, "Guan Guan, I never thought that Sister Tao is still in such good condition at the age of 39."
Ode to Joy has been very popular since it was broadcast.The five actresses are called "Ode to Joy and Five Beauties".The two of them are chasing stars today.
Jing Gao smiled and shook his head, thinking slightly.
Today, I made a second contact with LeEco and made some substantial progress.He could see that LeTV had very, very little money.Not only is he willing to sell the "sub-ecology", but Jobs, who has social phobia, also personally organizes a game to entertain him.
From the point of view of the Internet, he has failed as a hero today. It should be that when Jobs proposed to sell mobile phones, he waved his hand and bought it! Is $55 billion a fart?Shenhao is not short of this money.
How cool!
But in real business, this is impossible.What I'm talking about today is just that both parties have a relatively strong willingness to make a deal.The next step is to do company investigation and financial audit.Otherwise, if LeEco says it will sell for 55 billion US dollars, you will give that much?
Then others will only treat you as a fool!Money is spent and not respected.
Since LeEco's lack of funds is so serious, he can wait and take the opportunity to lower the purchase price.
It is impossible for the mobile phone industry to die in two or three years.The mobile Internet has become popular, and smartphones have become a necessity.In the past, I had to bring a lot of things when I went out, but now I just bring a mobile phone and keys and I'm done.
Shenhao can also enjoy the fun of bargaining, okay?It's just that compared to the bargaining price of dozens of yuan for buying things, this is a bargain of hundreds of millions of dollars!
What Jing Gao didn't know was that his idea avoided the risk of LeEco's huge loss!
...
...
While chatting, Guan Yujia, who was sitting next to Jing Gao, said timidly, "Boss Jing, you are really amazing!"
Jing Gao said: "How to say?"
Guan Yujia said with admiration: "Mr. Qiao contacted the fashion magazine in Shanghai before, and he had to borrow Professor Wei's favor to meet the editor-in-chief of ELLE Xiao. Today, I directly met the editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar Su."
Jing Gao shook his head with a smile and said, "Xiao Qiao, you are planning to negotiate with LeTV. I will call Cao Danqing and transfer her back to take charge. In addition, since LeTV's Yidao is out of control, we will continue to offer uber .”
His personality is a bit stubborn.Since he is optimistic about the field of "shared travel", he wants to make this happen.rather than halfway.
