Chapter 803: Not an Inch of Land
Zhang Zhaoyang of Fox Hunt went to negotiate with Yahoo.
For Yahoo, they have already cooperated with Qin Feng, who is one of their largest individual shareholders and has given them the most important support at a critical moment.
Now, the Internet market is starting to pick up. In particular, with the chip dispute between Intel and Qin Feng, it led to the early arrival of Celeron 2 and Pentium 2. At the same time, and more importantly, the price of Celeron 2 has fallen across the board.
In the Chinese market, it is only sold for 430 yuan, and in the European and American markets, it is only sold for 53 US dollars.
This price, for any consumer, is affordable. This has directly led to a significant increase in global installed capacity. Compared to the past, the processor of Celeron 2 is half cheaper.
This is too tempting for consumers.
And because of the large increase in global installed capacity, this has led to the price of various related accessories, and also because of the increase in production, and the price has decreased. This has further contributed to the development of the PC market.
It can be said that Qin Feng has single-handedly contributed to the development of today's global personal computer market.
At the same time, the increase in the number of personal computers has led to an increase in the number of Internet users. This has led to Internet companies starting to make money.
Yahoo is currently the most successful Internet company in the world, and it is only natural that it is also benefiting from the current increase in installed capacity around the world. Now, Yahoo has officially started to make a profit. Say goodbye to the past era of blindly burning money.
In this situation, Yahoo is naturally grateful to Qin Feng.
Without Qin Feng, Yahoo doesn't say whether it can survive it, but at least it makes money, not so fast.
Therefore, in the face of Fox Hunting, which is also from China, Yahoo CEO Yang Zhiyuan is very interesting.
He also did not convene a board meeting to discuss the matter. Such a trivial matter is not worth holding a board discussion.
Yang Zhiyuan and Qin Feng talked on the phone, Qin Feng's meaning is very simple, that is, Yahoo can make money if it can, and there is no need to consider Qin Feng's personal opinion. Because, Qin Feng didn't take fox hunting in his eyes.
Of course, Yang Zhiyuan always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong for a while.
However, since Qin Feng said that he didn't care, then he would make money.
As a result, Yahoo offered $10 million a year for the patent and demanded 30% of the overall profits of Fox Hunt.
Is this an exaggeration?
If you don't look at the size of the companies on both sides, it is very exaggerated, this is simply plunder, naked plunder. But looking at the size of the two companies, Yahoo is the world's most successful Internet company, with a current market value of more than $1 billion as the global installed base increases.
On the other hand, Fox Hunting, a newly established company, does not count the market value of the company. There is no market cap. It's just $2 million. These two sides are not in the same volume at all.
How this competes.
Naturally, large companies have the absolute right to speak.
"That's so high!" Zhang Zhaoyang was also annoyed by this number.
The other party refuses to lower the price. And how could Fox Hunt bear such an astonishing expense, 10 million US dollars a year, then there is no need to operate, the company directly gives it to the other party.
"Mr. Zhang, the other party has just made a new condition. At this time, one of the commissioners in charge of the negotiation hurriedly handed Zhang Zhaoyang a letter of intent.
This time, the other party's intention gave two options, one was the previous $10 million patent royalties, and a 30% profit share. The second intention is that you can do without royalties, but ask for a 50% profit share from Fox Hunting, if within a year, Fox Hunt's profit will not reach 10 million US dollars. Then, Yahoo will own 50% of Fox Hunt.
This agreement is undoubtedly a bet.
From the perspective of the exclusive technology possessed by the other party, this second intention is not a loss to Fox Hunting.
After all, Fox Hunt has no assets now, but the other party is the most successful Internet company in the world. The other party is willing to sign this gambling agreement, which is already a cheap fox hunt.
It's just that this year is a profit of $10 million, is it possible?
According to the current ranking price, it is more than 70 million.
It's very difficult.
However, the market is imminent.
What to do?
At this moment, on the other side, Wang Zhidong's heart is also the same.
Xinlang is talking to ICQ and wants to introduce ICQ.
ICQ is an instant messaging app created by three Israelis in 1996 and now has more than 10 million users worldwide. At the same time, Qin Feng's QQ now has only a few more real users.
It can be said that the user base between the two sides is an order of magnitude, and the gap is huge.
Of course, this is also because there are still a few computers in China, and there are relatively few people who have access to the Internet. Many people who go online do not want to register a QQ account.
With such a volume of social software, Wang Zhidong wants to introduce it, and it is naturally not easy. The other party is not difficult for Wang Zhidong. However, the idea of direct stake was proposed.
Xinlang owns the right to use ICQ's Huaxia and cedes a 40% stake. Of course, at the same time, ICQ will also inject $1 million as working capital.
For now, this agreement is the fairest compared to the other two companies. After all, ICQ already has a user base of 10 million and is one of the largest social media software in the world today.
At the same time, the other party also took out $1 million to invest.
Wang Zhidong hesitated, and the other party asked for 40% of the shares. This, it makes him a little painful.
Therefore, whether it is Ding Sanshi, Zhang Zhaoyang, or Wang Zhidong, they are all hesitating. Each has its own confusion, and each has its own reluctance.
Qin Feng is here, but he has a relaxed face, after playing in Japan, it is now winter, and he went to the hot spring town to soak in the hot springs together, and then returned to China comfortably, preparing for the New Year.
"Qin Feng, our industrial chain has been commissioned. Today, the daily production capacity can reach 35,000 pieces. Lei Jun said excitedly.
"That's good news. First take a holiday, and then start production after the year and ship to the international market!" Qin Feng said, "I want Intel to know that he can fight with me in the Huaxia market, and I can also go to the international market to compete with him!"
Lei Jun nodded.
"It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that not only will we not make money, but we may also lose money!" Lei Jun reminded.
Originally, the ex-factory price only earned 10 yuan, and if you count the expensive international logistics costs, it would be a real loss. After all, the CPU is sold at a cabbage price, which no one expected.
"I know! We earn it from other places!" Qin Feng was determined, "I will think of more other channels to make money." But in the CPU market, we won't give up an inch of land! No matter how much we lose, even if we kill 300 enemies and lose 1,000 ourselves, we will do it!"
We must not let Huawei's situation repeat itself in the future! Huaxia must win the CPU market!
