Fei Xuqiang bit his lower lip and looked a little anxious: "It's okay for other projects, this project is Mr. Xu's iron-hearted plan to acquire, if the other party has been unwilling to let go, then it will be very difficult for us to acquire, and I can't give Mr. Xu a satisfactory explanation." ”

"Manager Fei, I think since it is a dead order from Mr. Xu, then let's not think too much about the issue of return on investment, just give a little more, and buy it first. Ding Lili said, "I have asked my colleagues in the strategy department to help analyze it, the current momentum of this website is still good, even if the price we offer is a little higher, but the future appreciation space is very large, at least it is impossible to lose money." ”

"How much money do you think is more appropriate?" Fei Xuqiang said, "Although we are not short of money, but I, Fei Xuqiang, do not want to become a big wrongdoer, this first acquisition is of great significance to our network investment department, and we can't make jokes." ”

"Six million, the premium rate can exceed 100%, I think they might be tempted. Ding Lili said, "But if you want them to sell all shares, I think it is still difficult to sell six million, and you may have to be prepared for seven or eight million." ”

As a veteran, Fei Xuqiang let Ran know that it is obviously not worth spending seven or eight million dollars to acquire such a website, but what can be done?

This is 2002, what is the value of seven or eight million? That's a lot of money that the average wage earner can't earn in ten lifetimes. Therefore, even the managers of Dahua Fund will feel that such an investment must be cautious, once something goes wrong, the loss of money is small, the joke is made, and it becomes the laughing stock of others in the industry, and the face will be lost.

"Xiao Ding, you will stay in Nanhang for a while, pay close attention to the movements of the express car navigation network, and report to me immediately if there is any situation. Fei Xuqiang said, "As for the acquisition budget, I will think about it carefully." The largest number I can give at the moment is six million. ”

"Got it, Manager Fei. Ding Lili said.

After hanging up the phone, Fei Xuqiang lit a cigarette and walked back and forth in the office with a frown, seemingly a little tangled. The immediate difficulty does not seem to be in the acquisition itself, but in the pressure of the boss.

This acquisition is very crucial, and what to do best is what Fei Xuqiang feels the most difficult.

The boss Xu Jinlin's patience is very limited, he can't wait to get the express navigation network immediately, so as to show his prestige in front of his peers, if he is asked to wait for another ten days and half a month, I am afraid his face will be stretched long.

......

On Friday, Li Feng took a flight to Beijing from Jiangzhou International Airport and arrived at Beijing International Airport at 3:50 p.m.

The weather in the capital in early spring was still relatively cool, Li Feng put on a sweater, came to the gate of the airport with his luggage, and sent a text message to Long Yu.

Long Yu replied to the text message, he arrived earlier, and the two met quickly.

"Brother Long, let's stay down first and discuss the details of cooperation. Li Feng said.

"Okay, I've been annoyed to death by a little girl from Dahua Fund these days, she actually went directly to Nanhang City to find me, it seems that Dahua Fund's intention to acquire is very high. Long Yu said.

"Xu Jinlin is a person who wants to save face, since he looks down on the Internet so much and thinks that this is a petty fight, this time we have to bleed him, let him know that petty fights are not so easy to play. Li Feng said with a smile.

The two took a taxi and set off from the airport to the downtown area of the capital.

As the capital of China, Beijing is about the same prosperity as Jiangzhou, and it is the top city in China and a tourist city with a long history.

The two of them chose a four-star hotel near the headquarters of Wandu to stay, and after a brief dinner, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

The agreed meeting time with Gu Wanjun was nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and there was not much time left, so Li Feng and Long Yu began to further discuss the details of the cooperation.

The cooperation between Express Navigation Network and Wandu Search is to achieve a win-win situation in traffic.

From the perspective of Wandu search, as the top search engine company in China, he is not without the challenge of latecomers, so if there are other websites that can implant his search bar, it will undoubtedly make Wandu search more convenient and fast.

From the perspective of the express navigation network, Wandu search can also bring it a certain amount of traffic support.

The next morning, the two set off from the hotel early and came to the headquarters of Wandu Search Company.

At this time, Wandu Search is already the largest search engine company in China, although the company has not yet been listed, but the overall valuation has been about 300 million yuan, although the valuation of the Internet giant 10 billion billion yuan more than 10 years later is far from comparable, but in 2002, hundreds of millions of valuation of Internet companies is very rare.

The current Wandu search company already has a ten-story office building, although it looks far from the future headquarters of the future, but in 2002 it was quite good.

The two took the elevator to the seventh floor and entered the reception room of Wandu Company under the guidance of a female secretary.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Gu is holding a deployment meeting, and he will come to see you when the meeting is over. The female secretary said.

Li Feng and Long Yu sat down in the reception room.

Gu Wanjun hadn't come yet, and the two of them remained silent, after all, this was someone's territory, and they didn't know if there was any eavesdropping equipment.

In business negotiations, once you arrive at the local territory, it is usually necessary to maintain rigor and meticulousness, and not to disclose the slightest flaw, because often as long as a little flaw is leaked, it is possible to be opened by the other party and lose huge benefits.

Therefore, even if this time I came to Wandu Company to talk about cooperation and did not involve money, Li Feng and Long Yu have always been cautious.

Time passed little by little, about thirty minutes had passed, and it had been a long time since the original appointment of nine o'clock, but Gu Wanjun had not yet appeared.

Li Feng could see that Long Yu had already felt that it was not a taste.

After all, as guests, they just waited, which is obviously not hospitality.

Now Li Feng also feels a little unhappy, Huang Youde knows him, at least at the Information Economy Summit Forum, their exchanges are very pleasant, but today he is on a business trip and arranges a vice president to receive him.

As for the vice president Gu Wanjun, in fact, Li Feng was not too impressed.

In the history of the Internet, Gu Wanjun is not very famous, and I don't know where he ended up and what kind of career he achieved.

Now, his unpunctual approach made Li Feng a little uncomfortable.
