Chapter 1252 Rise
The establishment of Station D has made Zuo Ziming face many problems and difficulties, but he is serious about his work. With the help of innovative ideas and user reputation, Station D has gradually grown and completed the first round of financing. Station D, which received venture capital injection, quickly became the second leader among similar platforms.
However, when station D gradually grew, station C, which was originally the industry leader, became even larger in scale, firmly occupying the position of the industry leader.
Although Zuo Ziming felt that he had worked very hard, compared to Lu Zhekai's C station, his D station was still somewhat malnourished.
At this time, Lu Zhekai's C station has begun to form a monopoly. With its strong financial advantages, it began to ruthlessly suppress other similar companies that may be dangerous to Station C. Among them, Station D was the most severely suppressed.
It can be said that the most unacceptable thing for Zuo Ziming is that as long as Station D thinks of a good gimmick or withdraws from a series of activities, Station C immediately follows up with similar activities, and the scale is larger and the investment is more. It is to press Station D and prevent them from developing and growing.
Zuo Ziming felt that he was no worse than Lu Zhekai, and it was not that he had no ambition to grow his company, but he felt that his luck was not as good as Lu Zhekai. This is because just when Zuo Ziming was planning to hand over more equity for another financing and development, the situation in the capital market suddenly changed.
The central bank has issued a series of strict capital supervision, which has led to the tightening of funds in the venture capital market. The Internet industry, which was once called the golden zone by many investors, has also begun to turn from hot to cold. At the same time, the era of unlimited money burning is gone. Not anymore, and financing is starting to get harder.
The further financial tightening of the market has caused Internet companies to change from spending money casually to having to calculate carefully... Websites with higher traffic have become the first choice for customers. Although station D is the second leader in the industry, it has to face the loss of a large number of customers and turn to station C. In the end, in order to keep customers, Station D could only reduce the advertising costs, and the company's operation became more difficult.
Funds have also begun to go out more and come in less. Zuo Ziming also feels a little overwhelmed. If the supply of funds is not improved, the future development of Station D will be a big problem.
Just when Zuo Ziming's D station began to struggle, Lu Zhekai, who was the industry leader, wanted to launch an original animation platform. This made Zuo Ziming feel powerless for the first time in his heart. I believe there is no news, it is more depressing than the new house built in the enemy's home.
Just when Zuo Ziming felt a little confused, Zhang Yu suddenly appeared unexpectedly and at the same time threw an olive branch to himself.
Zuo Ziming, who has been in a weak position in the industry for many years, has never been very strong in terms of capital. He must learn to struggle to survive, and most of the time he chooses to cooperate with each other to reduce risks. And this is of course the opposite of Lu Zhekai's desire for monopolistic development. In his view, people can prove themselves in many ways, even if it does not include absolute dominance, there is nothing wrong.
Zhang Yu's talent and financial resources can be said to have been pegged by Zuo Ziming at the beginning of his discovery. At station C, where the main business transformation has begun, if station D is still abiding by the rules, it will be a matter of time to close down.
Zuo Ziming actually wanted to discuss cooperation with Zhang Yu before, but since he could not come up with a huge amount of funds to back it up, he could only use the company's shareholding ratio as the capital for cooperation. If Zhang Yu agrees to cooperate with himself, even if Zhang Yu becomes the company's major shareholder, it is better than the bankruptcy of Station D. Besides, according to Zhang Yu's words, the partnership will hand over the management of the new company to himself, so in the end, he will face the choice of fighting or not fighting.
Looking back on the past Zuo Ziming, he thought he had made the most decisive decision in his life, and agreed to Zhang Yu's proposal on the spot. As for the proportion of investment between the two parties, discussions were also conducted at that time. Fortunately, the financing stage of Station D is still very small.
Most of the equity is still in Zuo Ziming's hands.
Zhang Yu decided to buy out most of the shares in Station D, and Zuo Ziming's equity was finally valued at 30% of the shares. Zhang Yu would inject enough funds to reorganize Station D into a new company.
The main business of the new company is to add an original animation network and comic publishing platform while maintaining the original two-dimensional cultural community. that's it! A brand new animation company was officially established with the cooperation of Zhang Yu and Zuo Ziming.
after many years……
When Zuo Ziming has become the head of the world's largest animation group, every time I recall the time when I started a company with Zhang Yu's partnership, I feel that I am very wise. Because Lu Zhekai, who he once looked up to after many years, has finally become a trivial person.
Zuo Ziming couldn't help but sigh... Because back then, after agreeing to Zhang Yu's cooperation for a period of time, he always regretted his previous recklessness and always felt that he might have suffered a big loss without knowing it.
Now that I think about it, I naturally feel very funny. If I had given up the cooperation with Zhang Yu, station D would not only go bankrupt in the end, but I might have become the laughing stock of the industry, just like Lu Zhekai. A company from one of the world's top 500 countries is just within his reach, but he doesn't cherish it. I believe there is no more regrettable energy than this.
...
Zhang Yu has secured the cooperation with Zuo Ziming. Within a few days, the guarantee company responsible for guaranteeing the game between him and Hashimoto Ryuji also called. The legal documents for the outcome of the game have been prepared. Zhang Yu only needs to write down his name to get money.
On the day of the signing, Ryuji Hashimoto himself was nowhere to be seen, and Zhang Yu completed the signing ceremony under the supervision of the three-party notary public and the staff of the guarantee company. Following a huge sum of money, it was transferred to Zhang Yu's Swiss bank account. The copyright of Hashimoto Ryuji's works has also completed the final transfer at the same time.
Oda Yusuke has been waiting anxiously for a long time. When he knew that Zhang Yu had obtained the copyright, he immediately renewed the copyright on behalf of NOK and Zhang Yu... At the same time, Zhang Yu also agreed to hand over the Japanese distribution rights to NOK Company for operation. Both parties are happy.
At the same time, Zhang Yu brought all the copyrights of Hashimoto Ryuji's works and Dragon Balls to join NOK. Once the news came out, NOK's stock, which had been falling for several days, rose sharply...
