Chapter 370: Priceless or Worthless
"Guess, hehe, I don't know if it's or not?" Hu Mingchen smiled lightly.
"Yes, I admit it, what do you have to do with that. ”
"Didn't I just say it, didn't you forget, we came for the same purpose as you went out to find someone. Hu Mingchen said and handed a business card of Hu Jianqiang to Ma Jiahao.
Ma Jiahao picked up the simple business card and looked at the front and back carefully: "You are from Liangcheng, where is this Liangcheng, I have never heard of it." ”
"It's just a small and inconspicuous place, and it's not surprising that you don't know, compared to the coastal cities, we are just a county seat. Just now, the employees of your company kicked them out after seeing this business card. Hu Mingchen was neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not really feel inferior because Ma Jiahao didn't know Liangcheng.
"This is mainly because I am too lonely and unheard, Mr. Hu, I'm sorry, I apologize to you for the contempt and recklessness of my subordinates. The polite Ma Jiahao sat on the chair and owed a debt, and said apologetically.
"It's okay if the people below despise it, but I'm afraid that the people above will do the same. Hu Jianqiang said unashamedly.
"Don't dare, no matter who it is, it's not good to have regional discrimination. Mr. Hu, did you come to our company to make acquisitions?" Although Hu Jianqiang's business card is a general manager's title, it is not enough to attract Ma Jiahao's attention.
It was really Ma Jiahao's questioning and contempt during this period of time that made him a little disheartened. Now the whole market lacks the kind of people who understand the future value of Penguin Technology, and affected by the tide of the Internet bubble around the world, those investors and investment institutions simply do not dare to invest in Internet companies.
Those who have researched and injected capital into Internet technology, and have a large amount of idle funds, do not dare to start, and it is really difficult for him to imagine that a small mainland company would have such an attempt.
Not to mention enterprises and investors, he also found the government for this, and even the government was not interested, he asked for 1 million, as long as the government gave 1 million, he was willing to give the company out, but even 1 million government was not willing to give out, at most only 600,000. This made Ma Jiahao disheartened and a little afraid to hope.
Penguin Technology is like a child of Ma Jiahao, this child is growing well, but because he eats and drinks a lot, Ma Jiahao can't afford to raise it. He really didn't want such a healthy child he had raised to die like this, and he didn't want to see the child fall into the hands of those vulgar people who didn't respect or understand.
Ma Jiahao plans to continue to find other investment institutions and investors, if no new funds can be found before the end of the month, then he can only stop the company and wait for the opportunity to start again.
"Yes, there is this idea. Hu Jianqiang said.
"You want to buy, I welcome it, it's just ...... I would like to ask, what kind of industry is your company engaged in, and what is the scale?" Ma Jiahao did not seem too happy because the company had a buyer, but inquired about the situation of Xingsheng Development Co., Ltd.
"Our company used to do aquaculture, but now...... We do land development in the township. Our company has not been established for a long time, and now we can't talk about scale. Hu Jianqiang said.
"Hehe, third uncle, there's nothing to talk about scale, it's just no scale, and there are not even five people in the whole company. Maybe it's not as good as a leather bag company here. Hu Mingchen added self-deprecatingly.
"There are less than five people, and the main business is in the township...... Mr. Hu, it stands to reason that you are willing to buy our company, and I should be happy here, at least the company I founded is not worthless. But...... I have some words to hold in my heart, not to vomit and be unhappy. "Ma Jiahao is a little entangled now.
"Mr. Ma, but it doesn't hurt. Hu Mingchen delayed his hand.
At this time, someone finally brought two cups of tea to Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang, and this person was the staff member who politely rejected the two of them at the beginning.
For the service of this staff, Hu Mingchen didn't mind and still thanked him politely, but Hu Jianqiang couldn't do Hu Mingchen's open-mindedness, he had a straight face, just glanced at him and no longer looked at him.
"Was he the one who was embarrassed just now?" asked Ma Jiahao after the employee brought the door out.
"Mr. Ma's observation is really keen, it's him, but it's nothing, no one is perfect. Hu Mingchen praised.
Hu Mingchen admired Ma Jiahao's observation, and Ma Jiahao, in turn, admired Hu Mingchen's open-mindedness and conversation. This man, who looked like a child, was far more visionary than his uncle.
On the contrary, Hu Jianqiang was still thinking about how Ma Jiahao knew that it was the staff who was embarrassing them. No one mentioned it from beginning to end, how could he see it at a glance?
"Thank you, he is actually one of my partners, and when he comes to the company, the situation is not good, and everyone's mood is somewhat affected. Ma Jiahao explained.
"It's understandable, it's normal for people, just now Mr. Ma said something unpleasant, please tell me what blocked Mr. Ma's heart. ”
"Oh, yes, okay, then let's get down to business. As he spoke, Ma Jiahao stood up and paced back and forth in the cramped office, as if he was thinking about some kind of important decision in his heart.
"To be honest, it is really inappropriate for you to buy a company like ours, maybe you can take out so much money, but after all, the gap between our industry and the industry you are engaged in is too big, to say something offensive, I even doubt that you have not been exposed to the Internet, whether your company has used the Internet. You bought the company, or it will not be long before it is estimated that it will collapse, this is a very money-burning industry, but also an industry with relatively high professional requirements, it is strictly different from the traditional industry, so I advise the two, or think clearly, so as not to regret it soon. Suddenly, Ma Jiahao stood still, staring at Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang with blazing eyes.
"Mr. Ma, I'm afraid you're not worried about us losing money, it's more ...... You should regret that the results of your business were ruined in the hands of people who don't know how to do it, right?" Hu Mingchen understood Ma Jiahao's mood very well, so he pointed it out in front of him without reservation.
Ma Jiahao was surprised that Hu Mingchen was able to reveal his inner world in one sentence, and looked at Hu Mingchen with a hint of extravagant hope shining in his eyes: "Thank you for your understanding, I may be wrong, it seems that you don't completely understand." ”
"What is the meaning of what I said so much, do you want to sell or not, if the company sells to us, it will be a loss or a profit, it seems to be our business, isn't it?
"If this company were to be destroyed and disappear, it would be as painful for me as my children to be hanged. Ma Jiahao looked at Hu Jianqiang and said.
"But the problem is that you can't feed it now, and if you drag it down, it's not that you're going to die, but if you drag it yourself, can you drag it alive? It's really strange that the seller should care about what happens to the buyer when he buys it back, it's a little funny. Hu Jianqiang said very unhappily.
Hu Jianqiang's words made Ma Jiahao's originally extravagant eyes dim in an instant, and his mental state was as if he had just come down from the construction site after doing hard work, moved two steps, and continued to return to his chair and sit down.
"Yes, it's a death to drag it out, you're right, I really don't have the right to imagine what the company will become when it's in your hands, it has nothing to do with me. Ma Jiahao said dejectedly.
"Then are you willing to sell the company to us?" Hu Jianqiang asked.
"How much are you going to spend on it?" asked Ma Jiahao, leaning back in his chair.
Hu Jianqiang did not make a refreshing offer this time, but chose to look at Hu Mingchen.
"Mr. Ma, have you assessed it, how much is your company worth now?" asked Hu Mingchen indifferently.
"How much is it worth...... As far as the hardware is concerned, our company is not worth much, and this office and a lot of things in the company are rented. The only value of our company now is a newly developed instant messaging tool, which has a good market prospect and will increase the number of registered households by 100,000 people every day, in my opinion, if it continues to operate, it is a priceless treasure, and customer resources will be the most important and valuable resource in the future. Ma Jiahao said reluctantly.
As if all this he had said would soon be lost and no longer belonged to him.
Since the beginning of the business, for this product, Ma Jiahao and his cooperation team have made great efforts, seeing that the product has been widely liked by young people once it was launched, their hearts are extremely happy, looking forward to the impact and change of this product on a generation in the future, of course, they also seem to see a better future in their lives.
However, with the explosive growth of the number of customers, their operations have become difficult, and the funds raised by the business are consumed very quickly, which not only involves daily office expenses, but also more troublesome is that the related rental fees and marketing expenses of the server have been exhausted.
Now that the company and products that carry his youthful dreams and fighting spirit and passion are about to come to an end, Ma Jiahao's discomfort is beyond words.
"Mr. Ma, I don't understand what you said, but since your company wants to sell, it's impossible that someone hasn't assessed how much it's worth, otherwise, how can you sell it?" Hu Jianqiang said very sadly.
"Third uncle, Internet products are very different from actual commodities, their value fluctuates greatly, in the eyes of some people, such as the immediate launch of the Internet feels priceless, but in the eyes of others, it is penniless, because it is difficult to see the hope of making money, but more think that it is a bottomless pit. Hu Mingchen patted Hu Jianqiang and said.
"Thanks, it seems that you don't really understand everything, but in fact it is. But since it is for sale, of course, there must be a price target, and our own assessment is that he is worth two million. But it's hard for you to make this price, so it's okay, our low price is one million, not a penny. ”
