"What do you think of Young Master Gao? Do you find him suitable?"
After the tour, Ye Haibo asked in a low voice.
Gao Yan nodded: "What's the maximum price you can pay?"
Although he is not short of money, he still has to bargain when necessary.
Ye Haibo said, "I made a special inquiry, and the owner of the villa has recently run into some trouble and needs money. I estimate that 50 million should be enough to acquire it!"
"Fifty million? I'll take it!"
Gao Yan thought for a moment.
"Okay, I'll call him right now, no problem!"
Ye Haibo didn't shy away from Gao Yan's words and directly dialed the villa owner's number. After some bargaining, they finally negotiated the price of the villa down to 50 million.
"It's done, Young Master Gao!"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Haibo said with a smile, "It seems that old guy is really in a hurry. He'll rush back to Nandu tonight and sign the contract tomorrow morning!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you this time, Mr. Ye. I'll give you a big red envelope when your son turns one month old!" Gao Yan said with a smile.
"Hehe, then I won't be polite!"
Ye Haibo said with a smile.
On the way back, Gao Yan sent a message to Xiao Zhuo, telling her that he had planned to buy the villa, but in her name.
After all, Zheng Xiaoyu lives in a large villa in Shanghai, and he often gives Zheng Xiaoyu and Chen Yuxin huge sums of money as tips.
Xiao Zhuo has at least met my parents, so we can't mistreat her.
The twin sisters were somewhat shocked.
Gao Yan had left a deep impression on them at the auction.
These days, people only need to see a villa once before deciding to buy it.
That's incredibly wealthy!
at the same time.
Feng Bing also brought a group to Beijing to discuss investment with ByteDance.
The reason Gao Yan didn't send people from Xingchen Network to discuss investment was that he didn't want to arouse the suspicion of AI, JD.com, and Tencent.
Feng Bing and Chen Xue are both cyborgs, and they are 100% loyal to him.
Therefore, on the surface, this company has absolutely no connection with him.
However, things did not go as smoothly as expected.
ByteDance was founded in 2012 and owns Toutiao News, Huoshan Video and now Douyin. Its market value is around US$11 billion.
To be honest, ByteDance is not short of money right now.
In this situation, the priorities are reversed, and investors are no longer the big spenders.
Therefore, ByteDance seemed somewhat dismissive of the investment that Ice and Snow had offered to invest in.
Moreover, Ice and Snow Investment is just a newcomer to the investment world.
There were no outstanding investment performances.
ByteDance is even less likely to take ice and snow investments seriously.
However, Feng Bing's abilities are also quite good.
After receiving Gao Yan's orders, she studied Byte's information.
So she offered several constructive suggestions during the negotiations.
To Gao Yan's dismay, ByteDance was unwilling to accept Bingxue Investment's investment, but instead planned to poach Feng Bing to work at ByteDance, and the offer was quite generous.
Feng Bing naturally disagreed, but he did manage to secure a meeting with the ByteDance boss.
After listening to Feng Bing's report.
Gao Yan asked, "Do you think this investment is likely to succeed?"
Feng Bing said, "Boss, I think it's unlikely. What ByteDance needs right now isn't money, but something to help them develop. I suggest we tell ByteDance that Star Network, Star Entertainment, and Ice Snow Investment are owned by the same person!"
Gao Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but the other party needs to keep it a secret!"
Sunday Mall has the third highest daily active users after Taobao and JD.com, and it is also a traffic pool in itself.
If a traffic exchange can be reached with ByteDance, it will be of great benefit to both parties.
That evening.
Feng Bing met with Mr. Zhang, the boss of ByteDance.
The conversation started off pleasantly, but when the topic of investment came up, Mr. Zhang just smiled and said, "Mr. Feng, if I may be frank, ByteDance no longer needs purely financial investment. On the contrary, I admire you, Mr. Feng. If you were to join ByteDance, I could offer you one percent of the shares and the position of vice president!"
After some conversation, Mr. Zhang realized that he truly admired Feng Bing.
Feng Bing smiled and said, "Thank you for your high regard, Mr. Zhang. However, I have no plans to switch jobs right now. But I can tell you a secret: I am actually just one of the representatives of Bingxue Investment. The real boss is someone else!"
"Oh?" Boss Zhang became interested. Feng Bing deliberately brought this up, which clearly showed that the owner of Ice and Snow Investment was no ordinary person!
Feng Bing continued, "Does Mr. Zhang know about Sunday Mall?"
Upon hearing the name Sunday Mall, Mr. Zhang suddenly realized, "Is Xingchen Network behind Ice and Snow Investment?"
"To be precise, Ice and Snow Investment and Star Network are owned by the same person!"
Feng Bing nodded: "Moreover, my boss is also a major shareholder of Star Entertainment. If I'm not mistaken, Douyin is a key project for ByteDance, right? If you are willing to accept our investment, we can facilitate a deep cooperation between Star Network and Star Entertainment!"
Upon hearing this...
Mr. Zhang fell into deep thought.
TikTok is indeed ByteDance's most valued project at present.
However, the development has not been as smooth as expected, and there are recent rumors that Tencent is planning to invest in Kuaishou.
This made them very worried.
If Tencent fully supports Kuaishou, it will be a huge threat to Douyin.
Although ByteDance's development is quite good.
However, it still lags far behind the established internet empire, Tencent.
Moreover, there are now many short video companies besides Douyin and Kuaishou. Many companies have entered this field, so it's impossible for Mr. Zhang to see the future, and his confidence is not as strong as one might imagine.
