Chapter 401 Alternative gambling(2/2)
Then, the other party offered to pay a certain service fee.
Round B requires a large sum of money, which gives them confidence.
Tang Binchen was not satisfied, "We all know the environment here in the United States. Facebook has very strong competitors. In addition to MySpace, Google also launched three social networking sites in one breath. But there is only one for parking spaces! Not only
Grab a parking space is a series of light social games with rich creativity behind it. If it is money, those websites can also give it, and they are richer than Facebook. I hope you will show sincerity."
"What do you want?"
"Of course it's in-depth cooperation."
"Isn't it financing?"
Tang Binchen sighed, "According to industry practice, holding more than 25% of the shares is called in-depth cooperation."
Zuckerberg's team's expressions changed slightly.
If it is really a deep strategic cooperation, it is not impossible to dilute 25% of the shares, or even give a very low strategic financing quotation. But the problem is, for an Internet company in China, for a small social game, is it worth it?
Do?
Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said with a smile: "The current valuation of Facebook is quite high, and our demands will not be that excessive. However, how much quota will you give us for this financing?"
"At most 1%."
"So few?"
"This is our best effort. The shares of the two investment institutions have been determined early. This is the profit shared with you from Peter's quota."
The person Zuckerberg was talking about was Peter Thiel, who once collaborated with Elon Musk to found PayPal. Later, after PayPal was sold, he found Zuckerberg and became an early investor.
Zhou Buqi was a little embarrassed, "The 1% quota is indeed a little less, which may make it difficult for us to fully support you. After all, there are indeed many websites of this type in the United States."
Zuckerberg shook his head, "This is not in line with this round of financing plan."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "We accept the 1% quota this time."
1% is US$5.5 million, which has already caused great financial pressure on Ziweixing.
Zuckerberg heard it and said, "Do you have a better cooperation plan?"
Zhou Buqi said: "I think there is no need for service fees and advertising dividends. Use our products in exchange for your shares. It can be a progressive approach. Based on the PV volume of the games we provide, we will judge the impact on Facebook
A standard table can be set for the extent to which development plays a role."
In other words, from now on, Friends.com will wholeheartedly provide social games for Facebook to help it compete with its competitors and attract users.
PV volume is the number of times users open social games.
The higher the PV volume, the more popular the game is and the greater the promotion effect on Facebook.
How many Facebook shares can be matched based on the amount of PV.
Such an arrangement is beneficial to both parties.
Facebook does not need to load any commercial ads to affect the user experience of social games, and it does not need to pay any fees. As a start-up company, especially a company that survives in the cracks of giants, the money must be spent on steel blades as much as possible.
to reduce spending.
On the other hand, in order to earn more shares, Friends.com cannot cooperate with other websites. Only exclusive cooperation can attract the most traffic.
And the most important point is that social games have been launched in China, and the response in South Korea is also very good. But no one knows what the situation is in the United States, because no one has tried it.
What if the effect is not good?
If Facebook had paid an expensive service fee early on, it would have lost more than it gained.
If it is a strategic cooperation involving shares and gambling, it will be foolproof.
The effect is good, everyone is happy!
It will really be possible for Facebook to break out of the red ocean of social networking sites and become an indomitable product.
If the effect is not good, not a penny will be given, and not a single share will be given away.
