Chapter 226: For Sale
In short, it is impossible to sell a house. You can only continue to store a house. Only by persisting in garage can you live a stable and prosperous life.
But Lin Weidong also knew very well that if he could raise less than 1 million yuan of registered capital within two weeks, all the previous efforts of Century Chinese Network would definitely be ruined.
At this time, Lin Weidong remembered a person who was the founder of William Zhu, under the Banyan Tree. He wanted to find William Zhu, and wanted to lobby him to invest in Century Chinese.
Because not long ago, Under the Banyan Tree was acquired by Bertelsmann Group, the world's largest publishing and media group, and the online price was rumored to be 10 million US dollars.
It is conceivable that after William Zhu sold the banyan tree to Bertelsmann Group, his net worth must be quite strong.
The reason why Bertelsmann acquired the Banyan Tree was to use the user resources under the Banyan Tree to expand book sales.
Like before, William Zhu lives in a luxurious villa, which is still rented.
It’s not that William Zhu can’t afford this villa. He just feels that there is no need to buy a house and he is not short of money. Only he is willing to do so, he can live in any villa area in Shanghai.
However, Lin Weidong has never understood what William Zhu thought. He felt that as a Chinese, he should sell a house if he had money. Not to mention William Zhu, he would be the same as Li Ka-shing, even if he was rich.
There are two Chinese ink paintings hanging in the living room of William Zhu’s house.
After Lin Weidong arrived, he skillfully used Chinese tea sets to make tea and pour tea.
Maybe it was because I had been in Shanghai for too long, and William Zhu's Chinese is very standard, and sometimes one or two authentic Shanghai dialects can appear.
After pouring a cup of tea for Lin Weidong, Zhu William asked Lin Weidong: "How is the website you run? Are you on the right track?"
"I heard Annie say a while ago that your website is very exciting, and you will be so brave enough to surpass our banyan tree?"
Lin Weidong said modestly: "It's okay, it's definitely not comparable to that under the banyan tree, but we will start the system from this month."
William Zhu took a sip of tea and asked with great interest: "Is that so? Is your company starting to make a profit?"
Lin Weidong looked around and said to him: "Our company has started charging fees, but..."
Looking at Lin Weidong's look of wanting to speak but stopping, William Zhu asked with a smile: "But what, just say it if you have something to do."
Lin Weidong thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Zhu, have you heard of icp?"
William Zhu said seriously: "Of course I have heard that we didn't have to apply for an ICP certificate at the beginning, but later I asked Anne to set up an electronic magazine, so I spent 1 million to register a certificate."
Before Lin Weidong could answer, Zhu William asked again: "I just thought of applying for an ICP certificate?"
Lin Weidong said frankly: "Well, yes, this is the situation, so I came here this time to ask Mr. Zhu for your help. I hope you can give us some help from our Century Chinese website. If the system can be maintained, our company will definitely be able to make a profit..."
After listening to Lin Weidong's words, William Zhu pondered for a long time before speaking: "Organ City, my ideal of creating a banyan tree was to open up a position, let ordinary people start writing, gather people's strength, rather than make a lot of money."
Supported by such belief, William Zhu once asked the website to try not to accept advertisements. Now, when recalling this behavior, William Zhu sighed: "If I could have received more advertisements at that time, I might have earned hundreds of thousands of yuan in a month."
Moreover, William Zhu once made a bold statement: "Give out 1 million yuan a year to the banyan tree", but later found that the expenditure was far beyond the plan, and he needed to take out millions of yuan a month.
Because of the creation of a banyan tree, William Zhu has been very tired in recent years and often worry about money. He knows very well that it is not easy to build a literary website, and it is endless to burn money.
Obviously, before the payment system was improved, William Zhu was not optimistic about the future development of Century Chinese. In his opinion, the current Century Chinese website is not as good as the banyan tree in his peak period.
Although William Zhu did not accept the request from Lin Weidong, his meaning was already very clear, and he didn't want to lie in muddy water anymore.
Lin Weidong didn't want to fool William Zhu, because Lin Weidong himself didn't know when Century Chinese Network would be able to make a profit.
After leaving William Zhu's villa, Lin Weidong took a taxi directly to Liu Liming's apartment.
Looking at Lin Weidong who was at a loss, Liu Liming didn't know what to say, but just snuggled up to him quietly.
Lin Weidong was a little worried. Now he had two choices, one was to sell a house or mortgage a real estate loan, and the other was to continue to find someone to cooperate in investment.
Overall, Lin Weidong is more inclined to find someone to cooperate.
If neither of these works, Lin Weidong could only sell the few remaining golden songs on hand.
When Liu Limin saw that it was almost dark, she asked Lin Weidong: "Are you hungry? I'll go cook."
Lin Weidong rubbed her two big breasts and ordered, "Just cook orders, I'm not in a good mood."
Liu Limin raised her head, glanced at Lin Weidong, and said in a fury and shameless manner: "I'm not in the mood, you're still touching your hands and feet, you hate it."
Lin Weidong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What do you know? I am so happy in the face of grief."
After Liu Limin went to the kitchen, Lin Weidong put away his smile and lit a cigarette silently.
At this moment, Huang Fei called over, and on the phone, Huang Fei asked him how he was doing recently and whether he had any new songs.
Of course, Huang Fei called him mainly to ask him if he had any new songs, and greetings were second.
Lin Weidong said frankly: "Yes, there are, but there is no song suitable for you to sing."
Huang Fei smiled and said, "It's okay, I wasn't looking for you."
Lin Weidong asked curiously: "Sister Fei, you are not looking for me, who is looking for me?"
"I am a friend from Xiangjiang..." Huang Fei on the other end of the phone said mysteriously.
Without thinking, Lin Weidong blurted out and asked, "Sister Fei, it's not Nicholas Tse?"
Huang Fei smiled and said, "You guessed it, it's him."
Lin Weidong asked in confusion: "Nicholas Tse... Didn't I just wrote a song "Yellow Man" for him two months?"
Huang Fei said seriously: "He is preparing for a new album recently and he is missing a work that satisfies him, so he wants to invite you to sing."
"I'll give him your phone number and let you two have a good chat."
Not long after hanging up Huang Fei's phone call, Lin Weidong received another call, which was the phone number from Xiangjiang.
"Hello, Teacher Lin, I am Nicholas Tse."
Facing Nicholas Tse’s kind greetings, Lin Weidong didn’t feel much, nor did he feel anything strange.
After getting in touch with Huang Fei and Na Ying, Lin Weidong no longer had much feelings for the so-called stars. After removing the aura of stars, they are actually ordinary people in private, and they are no different from most women in the world.
However, Lin Weidong also has to admit that Nicholas Tse's Mandarin is much better than most people in Xiangjiang.
"Teacher Lin, I like the "Yellow Man" you wrote very well."
"Thanks."
"Do you have any other new songs? Our company wants to work with you."
"Something is there, but..." Lin Weidong stopped talking.
Nicholas Tse hurriedly said: "Teacher Lin, the price is not a problem, as long as the song is good, it's fine."
Lin Weidong nodded and said, "Well, if you are interested, come to Shanghai to find me."
"Yes, are you free?"
"We have free time these two days. If you have free time, come, let's make an appointment to meet."
After hanging up Nicholas Tse's phone call, Lin Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Nicholas Tse was willing to spend money and sell him two songs at will, he would be able to have 400,000 or 500,000.
At this moment, Liu Limin came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and asked Lin Weidong: "Who did you talk to the phone just now?"
Lin Weidong smiled and said, "Nicholas Tse."
