Rebirth of the tea art man

Chapter 302 $1 million VAM agreement
"That's [-] million?"

On QQ, Wen Qian sent a message with a surprised expression.

The "Red Marriage Era" starring her has only been released on station B for three days, and the total broadcast volume has exceeded 300 million, and the average episode broadcast volume has exceeded [-] million.

"I did it, it's normal to have such a result!" Lin Cheng replied proudly.

Even though they were in the same building, or even in the same house, the way the two of them communicated was by sending messages on their mobile phones using QQ.

This set of Tomson First Grade is indeed too big, to an outrageous level.

Even if a person is hidden in a certain room, no one will be found for three consecutive days.

"Those who don't know think you are the director!"

Wen Qian hid in a small room on the third floor, that is, on the 49th floor. She felt like a concubine in a cold palace. She was looking forward to it every day, just waiting for the emperor to come to her.

"There are more producers than directors!"

Lin Cheng replied.

The success of "The Age of Red Marriage" is the result of fate.After all, this drama was originally going to be shown on TV, and at the same time won the annual ratings champion.

But now it has moved to the online premiere, even in the small B station, it has set a record of over 3 million views in 2000 days.Even the number of registered users of Station B has skyrocketed from over 2500 million to [-] million because of this TV series.

Of course, so far, the 1 million broadcast volume of station B has not brought Lin Cheng any income, and he is still in a state of pure loss.

"Your Majesty, when will you come up to pamper your servants?"

Wen Qian sent a voice, and said coquettishly.

Usually on the screen, there is a serious and decent image of Yujie, but only Lin Cheng understands that this sister is very angry, and she looks like a juicer, which is still a Jiuyang brand.

Ding!
A text message appeared on Lin Cheng's cell phone.

He smiled slightly and sent Wen Qian a message, "Clean up and get ready to go out."

……

No matter in the young Bao Qingtian or in Detective Conan, there is a very simple and very ingenious secret room murder method.

That is in a secret room, after the murder is completed, the murderer hides in a certain corner.When the outside world found out that a group of people broke into the secret room and everyone's attention was on the scene of the crime, the murderer came out from the corner and blended into the crowd naturally.

At this time, everyone's attention is focused on the corpse, and you are just one of the many onlookers. Everyone will naturally think that you, like them, broke into this secret room from the outside.

Wen Qian is like this now!

Dressed in formal attire for going out, he sat in the living room on the first floor with peace of mind, among a crowd of lawyers, accountants, finance, as well as representatives of five investment institutions and major shareholders of Station B.

Except for Lin Cheng, no one knew that she came down from the third floor instead of walking in from the outside.

"I remember, when we first met, there were only about 600 million registered users at Station B, right? I didn't expect it to grow to 2500 million in just half a year. This speed is really amazing. !"

Lin Zhengyi sat on the sofa in the living room, looked at a station B operation report in his hand, and sighed a lot.

Today is the C+ round financing meeting of Bilibili. Five investment institutions headed by SoftBank Group, including the famous Sequoia Capital, Carlyle Capital, and Tiger Fund, gathered together.

Originally planning to stay at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Zhangjiazui, under Lin Cheng's suggestion, he went directly to the living room of his newly bought Tomson First Class.

The space is large enough, the privacy is strong enough, and it is also very convenient to be away from the hotels where these investors are staying.

"This is just the beginning. According to our estimates, before the end of this year, the number of registered users of Station B will officially exceed 5000 million. We will become the oil pipe in Asia, the largest video website, live broadcast website, and self-service website in China and even in Asia. media site."

For this goal, Lin Cheng is very confident.

After receiving US$5000 million in Series C financing, Lin Cheng implemented a series of copyright barriers and creative incentive plans at Station B.

At station B now, there are more than 1 anchors and UP hosts with a monthly income of more than 600 yuan.

This number may seem small, but it has surpassed the income of writers on Qixing Chinese.com, the largest leading website in the online literature industry, and the number of authors with a monthly income of over 600 is less than 500, or even less than [-]. [-] people.

Of course, Qixing Chinese.com is a profitable website every year, while Station B is still relying on financing money and has been burning money to expand. The nature of the two is completely different.

"The financing scale of 1 million US dollars cannot be said to be large or small. Even for our five investment institutions, it is a fund that requires careful consideration."

"Your plan is very well written, but if possible, I would like to hear Mr. Lin Cheng, what you say about the future!"

An executive from Carlyle Investment, a standard foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes, has been staring at Lin Cheng since he entered the door.As for everyone else at Station B, including the founding stationmaster Sun Yi, he is completely uninterested and doesn't even bother to take a look.

His judgment was very precise. The present day of station B was created by Lin Cheng alone, and the future of station B is completely determined in the hands of this young man.

"In the field of live broadcasting, I plan to increase the competition among anchors by organizing events. Especially increase the competition of e-sports type, and change the current environment where female anchors are dominant."

"In terms of copyright, we have reached long-term copyright cooperation with 13 island animation companies and 8 domestic animation companies. In addition, Station B has reached a strategic cooperation with My Century Sunshine through a share swap. own film and television production capabilities.”

"Then there is the income of UP owners. In addition to our official creation incentive plan based on data flow, we also increase the advertising sponsorship model. The first is the cooperation with Tingge every day and Qixing Chinese website."

Lin Cheng paused, took a sip of water and continued, "For example, you wrote a novel on Qixing Chinese.com, which already has 100 million words, but your grades have not improved. At this time, you can find a UP at station B to advertise. , and after his video is released, the current video can go directly to the novel homepage of Qixing Chinese website.”

"I'm just giving an example. It's not limited to online novels and online songs. It also includes Taobao stores, or its own official website mall for certain products."

"like this!"

In front of everyone, Lin Cheng clicked on a video, and there was an advertisement for socks in the middle, and the link at the bottom of the video, with a single click, would lead directly to the Taobao store for the socks in the advertisement.

"Compared to Youtubie's advertising model..."

The executives of the Tiger Fund frowned, thinking of the video website that was also founded by Chinese, and was wholly acquired by Google at a sky-high price of US$16.5 billion after only one and a half years of its establishment.

The model of Station B is very similar to that of Youtubie, but there is an indescribable difference.

"The viewer's viewing experience is better!"

"Our advertising model is precise delivery. Advertisers can choose different types of UP owners by themselves, and they can also check his past advertising data."

"Although it is also profitable through advertisements, the page is very clean and refreshing, and will not annoy users. The power to click on advertisements is completely in the hands of users."

"To put it simply, we pay more attention to the audience users of the website than the advertising side!"

For today's financing meeting, Lin Cheng had already prepared countless times. The rehearsal simulated various situations, and naturally the answers were fluent.

"That's how it is. For the C+ round of financing, we can provide 1 million US dollars. But there is a gambling condition. If the number of registered users of station B does not exceed 5000 million before the end of the year, you have to give up all of our shares. Buy it back at the original price and pay 5% interest."

The executives of Tiger Fund and Carlyle Investment looked at each other with confident smiles.

The financing of the angel round is often done regardless of the cost. It is a fish in a big net, a needle in a haystack, and it all depends on luck.

However, the further you go, the higher the financing conditions and difficulty.

It is very common in the industry to have a VAM agreement attached to a financing plan like this.

For these large international investment institutions, it is tantamount to a kind of double insurance, which guarantees no loss.

When your website is up and the scale is expanded, then the money I invested will naturally be earned back.However, if you don't do it, then you can buy back my shares at the original price and pay a certain amount of interest, and I will still make money.

Anyway, I make money anyway!

"Yes, but I want to keep at least 25% of the shares!" Lin Cheng nodded and agreed on the spot.

This was expected and planned.

"Bubu Gongxin", which has been filmed and reviewed a long time ago, has not been officially released, and it is also waiting for this period of time.

"Then it's fine!"

Seeing that Lin Cheng agreed so readily, Lin Zhengyi heaved a long sigh of relief.

He also knew the oil and soil turtle back then, but he was just unlucky and didn't catch up with that wave of investment opportunities.By the time he realized it, that website had already been fully acquired by Google, for a total of 16.5 billion US dollars!

And the current Station B is obviously the second Youtubie.

Moreover, in the current domestic market, there is no second website of the same type that can compete with Station B.

Whether it is Tudou or Youku, in terms of type, they are all biased towards pure video websites. At most, they have moved TV programs from TVs to computers, and changed TV stations to video websites.

This is fundamentally different from the model of station B.

Tudou and Youku are purely video playback platforms, not creative platforms.Station B is more like a manor, self-produced and sold, self-sufficient, and a small ecosystem is formed inside.

After cooperating with a series of companies such as Weibo, Tiantian Tingge, Qixing Chinese.com, Century Sunshine, and Everest Tingshu, the ecosystem has grown even larger.

After the $30 million C+ round of financing was completed, Lin Cheng's shareholding in Station B was diluted from 25% to [-]%. This was still at his strong request, and it was an additional condition.

Of course, this is only his personal shareholding. If you add the shares of Tiantian Tingge, Century Sunshine, and Everest Tingshu, Lin Cheng's shareholding can exceed one-third of the scale.

According to the current company law, the resolution of the general meeting of shareholders must reach two-thirds of the votes in favor, and Lin Cheng alone holds one-third of the shares, which is equivalent to having one vote of veto, and in essence controls B stand.

As for Sun Yi, the founder of Station B, after several rounds of financing, the shareholding ratio has been reduced from 100% at the beginning to 50%, 30%, and now 15%.

However, this 15% is 5% of the valuation of 15 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to 7500 million U.S. dollars. Converted by the exchange rate, it is equivalent to 5 million yuan.

In just over half a year, he has transformed from the owner of a small website into a young rich man worth 5 million yuan, which is really a skyrocket.

The news that Bilibili received US$1 million in financing quickly spread in the investment circle.

As the largest individual shareholder of Station B, Lin Cheng's worth on the Forbes Rich List has also changed from 20 billion to 30 billion, and he was even elected as the chairman at the latest shareholder meeting of Station B.

……

A few days later, a white Porsche Cayenne drove into a car sales company located in the suburb of Tianhai.

As soon as the car stopped at the door, a fat young man greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Cheng—brother—"

Wang Cong came up with a bear hug, but Lin Cheng quickly broke free.

"Rolling, it's hot and smells like sweat, who the hell wants to hug you!" Lin Cheng pushed him away in disgust, almost wanting to kick him directly.

Standing behind Wang Cong, a tall and thin handsome guy was obviously frightened by this scene, and looked at Lin Cheng with a face full of shock.

"Hey, the rich man worth 30 billion already looks down on us poor dick!"

Wang Cong sighed, pretending to be sad.

"Okay, okay, a bunch of forced things. I heard that you have some very beautiful Lamborghinis here, so I came here."

"I'm very busy!"

Lin Cheng said impatiently.

Unlike the people-friendly image on the Internet, only those who can really deal with Wang Cong will understand that he is actually very snobbish.

It can't be called snobbery, but there is such a threshold.

If you want to make friends with him, you must at least have a certain status. The more awesome you are, the more your relationship with him will be like a friend, not a henchman of a dandy young master.

"Oh, sure, I dare to lie to you, Brother Cheng!"

Even when Lin Cheng scolded him face to face, Wang Cong still had a smile on his face, showing no sign of getting angry at all.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you, you people in the entertainment industry should know each other! Chen Weiwei, this name is really weird. Those who don't know him think he is the illegitimate son of Bill Gates living in China!"

Wang Cong came to his senses suddenly and introduced the tall and thin handsome guy.

"Boss Lin, long time no see!"

Chen Weiwei greeted with a smile.

Of course he knew Lin Cheng, and he sang together in Hengzhen when "Bubu Gongxin" was finalized last time.

However, what he never expected was that Wang Cong, the super rich second generation whom he finally hooked up with, would look like this in front of Lin Cheng.

At Wang Cong's level, in the small-time entertainment industry, he was indeed a colossus.

After all, the annual output value of the entire domestic film and television industry is not as high as the sales of Yueda Group.

For Chen Weiwei, a fresh meat star who has only been famous for only two years, being able to know Wang Cong and become friends with him is something to be proud of, very proud of, and able to brag about with friends everywhere.

It's just that he didn't expect that Wang Cong, whom he treated like a master, was just an ordinary friendship in Lin Cheng's eyes, and he could even swear dirty words in front of him and say whatever he wanted.

Unlike him, even if he was scolded bloody by Wang Cong and greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors, he would not dare to answer a word!

"It's almost half a year!" Lin Cheng smiled.
