Chapter 292: Eight Million Shocking Offers
"Mr. Xu, from this point of view, the real author of this article should be Li Feng, and Xie Changgeng is an assistant, just borrowing his fame to avoid embarrassment. Fei Xuqiang said, "It's just that Li Feng is just a young man under the age of 20, how can he write such an article? This kind of article, even a senior economics professor, it is impossible to write it easily, even if Li Feng is a genius, can he compete with the entire academic world today?"
"If he doesn't write it, who will it be, even Xie Changgeng can't write it, he must rely on Li Feng, he can't go outside to find a gunman. Xu Jinlin said.
Fei Xuqiang nodded again and again: "It is impossible to find a gunman for an article of this grade, if the gunman had this level, he would have gone out to be a professor a long time ago." It seems that it was really written by Li Feng, this kid is amazing, this is going to heaven!"
"Regardless of this kid's true strength, as soon as this article is published, Li Feng's popularity in the industry will rise rapidly like a rocket, and he has already accomplished many things that economics professors have not done, it's incredible, I'm blind. Xu Jinlin's brows furrowed slightly, "In this way, it will be more difficult to acquire his express car navigation network." ”
This is the most realistic problem in front of us, with the rapid rise of Li Feng's popularity in the industry, a series of things he has done, will get widespread attention from everyone, among which the express navigation network he invested in will also receive the attention of major investment fund companies, and the website owner will have more chips in business negotiations, which makes the difficulty of acquisition suddenly increased a lot.
But Xu Jinlin's big words have already been spoken, and the current situation is obviously quite unfavorable.
"Mr. Xu, do you mean that we won't buy it?" Fei Xuqiang blinked his eyes and asked tentatively.
At present, he has been very upset by the acquisition, and Li Feng and Long Yu sang and harmonized, which made him dizzy.
For the quotation of the Dahua Fund, the express navigation network has always been of little interest, and it can be seen that if you want to swallow it in one bite, the quotation of just five million will not work.
But now, Li Feng has published an article in the magazine "Economist", which has doubled his popularity and influence, and in such a situation, it would be even more whimsical to use another five million to acquire the express car navigation network.
"How can you not buy it?" Xu Jinlin looked a little angry when he saw that Fei Xuqiang had misunderstood what he meant.
The intention to acquire was expressed by him at the cocktail party, and if he retreated now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face. In the end, this is just a small business of a few million, and it is obviously not cost-effective to ruin your reputation just for such a small business.
"But if you want to buy, five million is probably far from satisfying their appetite now. "And as time goes on, the value of their website will only get higher and higher, and the more they wait, the more they can't afford it." So if we want to acquire, we can only do it quickly, before the magazine is officially distributed to the whole society, when Li Feng's reputation has not yet been mentioned. ”
"Then start immediately, and increase the acquisition budget by another three million, to the order of eight million. Xu Jinlin said, "You hurry up and give them a new offer, and start as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to get eight million." ”
"Got it, I'll do it right away. Fei Xuqiang nodded.
Although it is difficult for Fei Xuqiang to understand why the boss Xu Jinlin would spend a lot of money of 8 million for such a simple navigation website, since it is Xu Jinlin's intention, he must do it, and it is done with quality and quantity.
In the afternoon of the same day, Long Yu and Li Feng received the latest offer from Dahua Fund at the same time, this time Fei Xuqiang did not hide it, but directly quoted the price of 8 million, and hoped to reach an acquisition intention within 24 hours.
This offer greatly surprised Li Feng and Long Yu's expectations, and it was twice as much as the small goal of four million he had set at the beginning!
Judging from the current situation, the overall valuation of the express navigation network is unlikely to reach eight million, after all, the substantive content of the website is not much, mainly navigation-based, and the number of pages of the entire website is only forty or fifty.
For such a small website, even the valuation of five million is very reluctant.
In this case, Dahua Fund plans to buy the express navigation network as a whole with 8 million, which is already a very cost-effective deal, which also makes the Longyu team a little confused.
From the buyer's offer of 800,000 yuan at the end of last year to 8 million in April this year, it has jumped tenfold, and the time is only four months.
Of course, most of this is the credit of Li Feng, the first wave of traffic growth of the express navigation network, it is because Li Feng connected the Galaxy Browser, so that the two sides carried out a mutual promotion and mutual assistance plan, which directly led to the first increase in the valuation of the express navigation network.
Subsequently, we continued to optimize the web interface to improve the user experience and add a lot of value to the website.
Li Feng knew that his article in the "Economist" magazine must have played a huge role in the quotation of 8 million, otherwise Dahua Fund would not have suddenly pumped and raised the price by 3 million.
These three million are equivalent to pies falling from the sky, and if you don't eat them for nothing, you won't eat them.
In fact, for a pure relay station like the express navigation network, the monetization ability of traffic is relatively weak, in fact, there is not much room for growth, and the final ceiling is also very low, in fact, in essence, it is impossible to be worth eight million.
And at this price, there is no room for growth, and the acquisition of Dahua Fund may also be temporary, in case this excellent opportunity is missed, when their brains come to their senses, it will be impossible to have such a high offer.
So this sale must be made quickly, and there is no room for them to hesitate!
Li Feng took out his mobile phone and made a call to Long Yu: "Hey, Brother Long, have you received the latest offer from Dahua Fund? ”
"I received it, I can't believe it, they actually quoted a price of 8 million, which is completely beyond our imagination, even if the original cooperation plan with Wandu can be carried out smoothly, it is impossible to increase our overall valuation too much, so the price given by Dahua Fund this time shows that their willingness to acquire is very urgent. Long Yu seemed very happy, although he still couldn't figure out why Dahua Fund was so eager to give a sky-high price.
"So it's time for us to make a move. Li Feng said, "The time given by the UOB Fund is 24 hours to complete the contract, and I think we will officially reply to them now." ”
