Ye Chen naturally knew how popular Douyin was in his past life.
Although these are parallel worlds, Ye Chen believed that DouVideo would definitely go viral.
For such a surefire money-making venture, how could Ye Chen give up!
At this moment, the auction price had already reached fifteen million.
The entire startup conference was also reaching its climax.
These were all business magnates with very keen investment insights.
They all saw the potential of DouVideo.
Even Brother Ma, with great interest, offered fifteen million.
Ye Chen stood up and requested the microphone from the host.
He said to Wang Ziming: "Young man, IРІР‚в„ўm very interested in your project, but my investment is ten million, and I donРІР‚в„ўt want five percent of the shares, but thirty-five percent."
Everyone was stunned hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words.
This guy must be an idiot.
This project just had a bid of fifteen million, and youРІР‚в„ўre offering ten million, asking for thirty-five percent of the shares.
Do you think the other party is a fool?
Everyone looked at Ye Chen as if they were looking at an idiot.
It was obvious that this young man didnРІР‚в„ўt understand investment; otherwise, he wouldnРІР‚в„ўt say such ridiculous things.
Ten million, with others investing seventeen million to get just five percent shares, and youРІР‚в„ўre asking for thirty-five percent, what a joke.
This offer is not just low, but way too low.
Immediately, many couldnРІР‚в„ўt help but laugh out loud.
"Where did this nouveau riche come from?"
"So ridiculous."
The hall was buzzing with laughter and mockery directed at Ye Chen.
Wang Ziming also frowned.
Originally, when Ye Chen spoke up, Wang Ziming was quite pleased, but hearing that Ye Chen only offered ten million, his brow furrowed.
At this time, Brother Ma and Brother Teng, sitting beside Ye Chen, were curiously looking at him.
They knew Ye Chen was not a nouveau riche but had a sharp eye.
Yet they were still puzzled about what exactly Ye Chen had up his sleeve.
Wang Ziming picked up the microphone to refuse, but Ye Chen said, "Young man, donРІР‚в„ўt be quick to refuse; listen to me first."
"Although IРІР‚в„ўm investing ten million, you should be aware that the most costly part of launching a new software to the market is advertising."
"I am the owner of Maoya Net, and we have very powerful video resources. Our Maoya Net hosts have many fans in the tens of millions. If they help promote, what do you think the effect will be?"
"Moreover, I am the owner of the Grand Universe Hotel, Mile Grand Hotel... My hotels can advertise your DouVideo within their establishments."
"I own the Wan Tai Group and Yida GroupРІР‚в„ўs real estate, the Modu Commercial Street project, which almost monopolizes ModuРІР‚в„ўs high-end residential and commercial resources. I can also promote DouVideo."
"And during DouVideoРІР‚в„ўs release, youРІР‚в„ўll definitely encounter some copyright issues. My Huadu Law Firm can resolve these legal issues for you."
"I also own Celestial Origin Technology Co., Ltd. and Qilong 360 Technology Company, which can solve our technology and network security issues."
Ye Chen said calmly, "In other words, I can solve all future development obstacles for DouVideo. Do you think my proposal of ten million and thirty-five percent shares is unreasonable?"
The place fell into deadly silence.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
No one expected this young man to be so incredible.
Wang Ziming was also stunned on the spot.
He looked at Ye Chen, who was the same age as him, with eyes full of disbelief.
ThatРІР‚в„ўs unbelievably amazing.
The investors who had just mocked Ye Chen were also dumbfounded.
Initially, they thought Ye Chen was just a nouveau riche or some rich second-generation heir, not worthy of attention.
When Ye Chen revealed his cards, everyone on site was stunned.
Among them, having just one of these would be impressive, but Ye Chen combined so many impressive industries into one.
ItРІР‚в„ўs known that just one of Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs titles could instantly outshine anyone present.
There was a buzz of discussions among the crowd.
"Is this real?"
"Is this young man really so awesome?"
"Yeah, is he just bragging? If heРІР‚в„ўs really that awesome, how does he own so many industries?"
However, seeing the expression of the bigwigs beside Ye Chen, everyone was stupefied.
Brother Ma and others were talking to Ye Chen, clearly recognizing his identity.
Oh my god, itРІР‚в„ўs actually true.
If it were fake, these bigwigs would surely expose him, yet now theyРІР‚в„ўre chatting enthusiastically.
Now everyone finally understood why these bigwigs were so warm and respectful to Ye Chen.
With such a status, he indeed qualified to sit on equal terms with those bigwigs.
Those present were all business elites, having seen all kinds of grand events.
But today, they were still shaken by Ye Chen.
Wang Ziming stood dazedly in place.
If what Ye Chen said was true, it would be a huge boost to his project.
Although the project received substantial investments, there were still too many problemas to be solved to succeed.
Ye Chen almost resolved all of his problems; accepting Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs investment would guarantee success.
The only thing causing Wang Ziming to hesitate was Ye Chen asking for too many shares, thirty-five percent.
Wang Ziming took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Ye, a ten million investment is no problem, but I cannot accept thirty-five percent shares."
The crowd understood Wang ZimingРІР‚в„ўs reaction well.
After all, thirty-five percent shares would almost certainly make Mr. Ye the largest shareholder, essentially becoming the future owner of DouVideo. How could Wang Ziming agree to that?
Ye Chen had anticipated Wang ZimingРІР‚в„ўs refusal and said calmly, "No problem, IРІР‚в„ўll give you another minute to consider. Let me remind you, your DouVideo technology doesnРІР‚в„ўt have much of a threshold. If I want to do it, I can make it happen. Do you think you stand a chance competing against me? Ten million, thirty-five percent shares, no room for negotiation."
Hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words, Wang Ziming shuddered slightly.
Ye Chen had just laid his cards on the table: if he also did DouVideo, Wang Ziming stood no chance of competing.
"The reason IРІР‚в„ўm willing to invest in you is that I see youРІР‚в„ўre talented, and I believe this DouVideo project will develop more smoothly with you. I can promise that even though I hold thirty-five percent of the shares, I wonРІР‚в„ўt interfere with the companyРІР‚в„ўs development or personnel appointments. IРІР‚в„ўm very busy, after all, running DiDi, managing the company, and collecting rents, I really donРІР‚в„ўt have the time."
After speaking, Ye Chen leaned back in his chair, leisurely sipping tea, waiting for Wang ZimingРІР‚в„ўs response.
Wang Ziming stood on stage, brow furrowed.
Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words struck straight to the point. As Ye Chen said, his technology had no threshold; others could also produce it just as well.
But in terms of connections and resources, he was incomparable to Ye Chen.
In fact, it could be said that he had no other choice but to cooperate with Ye Chen!
