Chapter 352: Bullying Me Young
The next day, all the executives and shareholders of Baidu attended the meeting, all of them were absent, if they didn't come, they couldn't do it, when Robin Lee communicated with them on the phone, he said that this meeting was a matter of life and death for Baidu, and no one wanted to turn the shares in their hands into a piece of waste paper, of course, they had to figure out what kind of medicine Robin Li was selling in the gourd.
The whole meeting was a little dull, Robin Lee directly explained the situation of the 123 navigation network, and elaborated on the results of his analysis, after some discussion, the people in the conference room, formed two factions, most of the people felt that if Yahu acquired 123, the threat to them would be too great, and some people felt that Robin Lee's words were a bit alarmist, these people are very confident in Baidu, they have their own technology, there are users, naturally through word of mouth, User word-of-mouth and advertising in the form of competition for market share,In their eyes, the search is just taking advantage of their unpreparedness,Hit them off guard,Now the market share that is gradually stabilizing is a proof,In the future, as long as you find a way to get back the lost partγ
Unable to directly get all the participants to agree with his own views, Robin could only initiate a vote, and the final result naturally developed in the direction that Robin Lee wanted.
Zhuo Ziyuan arranged the meeting with Liu Jiping at 8 o'clock in the evening, he didn't like to eat with strangers, socializing, 8 o'clock was just the right time, you don't have to deliberately tell the other party, you come back after dinner, this is very rude, but choose this time, the other party can naturally understand that everyone will not have dinner together, and Zhuo Ziyuan's appointment is the coffee shop near the school, which is the place where he and Sima Bowen officially met for the first time, which also shows that they only talk about work.
It's still the same place as last time, Zhuo Ziyuan faced the door, and after the two sides greeted each other very politely, Liu Jiping said, "Mr. Zhuo, I really didn't expect that you would be so young, calculating the establishment time of 123, at that time Mr. Zhuo could think of establishing such a website, it is really not simple." β
"Mr. Liu won the award, in fact, the founder of this website was not me, but then he couldn't hold on, so I took over. "Zhuo Ziyuan naturally doesn't care about these false names, and this kind of thing can be found by someone who cares, and there is no need to cover it up at all.
"Doesn't this just show that Mr. Zhuo's insight is unique, after 123 came out, we people have never paid attention to it, until last year's war, Mr. Zhuo is really powerful, so that the other party can't eat and walk, during that time, if you let everyone choose the most unprovoked person on the Internet, Mr. Zhuo must be on the list. Liu Jiping, who is in the market, naturally comes to these flattering words.
"Mr. Liu, I really like to joke, I was forced to fight at that time, in fact, at the beginning, I just wanted to calm things down, but others were forced to force each other, and I could only make a move, the big deal is that the fish is dead and the net is broken, Mr. Liu, do you say?" Zhuo Ziyuan said with something in his words.
"What Mr. Zhuo said is that doing business is naturally a harmonious way to make money, and there is no need to make everyone unable to get off the stage, but we still admire Mr. Zhuo's methods. β
"If you want to say admiration, it should be that I admire your company, in just a few years, it has achieved the first position in China, and those international giants can only suffer by themselves, so ah, your company is a model for my generation to learn. "If you don't talk about the topic, you won't talk about the topic, anyway, there is time, let's talk slowly, Zhuo Ziyuan has also started the business touting mode.
"Mr. Zhuo has won the award, we are all a bunch of people making suggestions, and there are several mountains behind us, how can I compare to Mr. Zhuo, I have achieved this point by myself. β
"How does Mr. Liu know that I am relying on the power of one person. Zhuo Ziyuan smiled, this is clearly testing himself, what's the matter, if I'm alone, are you still going to think of the Fa to bully me?
"Oh? Could it be that there is also capital behind 123.com? So do we also need their approval in today's negotiations? Liu Jiping continued to probe.
"Mr. Liu rest assured, 123 is completely my own, 100% possession, no matter how big the matter, I can call the shots. Zhuo Ziyuan replied.
This made Liu Jiping confused, just now I looked like I was not alone, and now he said that he was 100% owned by the website, and the temptation was invalid, Liu Jiping gave up, simply clicked directly, opened a price code, if not, continue to talk, "Mr. Zhuo, I won't beat around the bush, let's get straight to the point." β
"Just as I want. Of course Zhuo Ziyuan agreed.
"I don't know what Mr. Zhuo's price positioning is for 123.com?" Liu Jiping did not quote directly, but wanted to know Zhuo Ziyuan's needs.
"Mr. Liu should also know Yahu's offer, on their offer, I didn't think about it and refused, I don't know if Baidu can give me a suitable price, first of all, I am willing to sell 123 navigation network as a whole. β
"I don't know if Yahu has re-quoted you, if it's inconvenient to disclose, I didn't ask. β
"There's nothing bad to say, in the past two days, you've come to me, and the other two haven't re-quoted or haven't come to me directly, it seems that Baidu is quite positive. Zhuo Ziyuan said with a smile.
Liu Jiping felt awkward when he heard this, you mean that we Baidu are in a hurry, we are in a hurry, but what can he do, they are really worried about being taken by others, and Baidu does not know that Zhuo Zi is far from their mentality of not selling, "Mr. Zhuo is really frank, our company's style of doing things has always been like this, but what can be done today will definitely not be delayed until tomorrow." β
Zhuo Ziyuan smiled again, you can say whatever you want about the internal affairs of your company, anyway, others don't understand, you have the final say, "Hehe, that's right, I also like this style of doing things the most." β
"That's really the same thing that heroes see," After talking for a long time, Liu Jiping didn't get Zhuo Ziyuan's bottom, so he could only choose to take the initiative to offer," Mr. Zhuo, we Mr. Li attaches great importance to the cooperation with you, so yesterday we held a high-level meeting to discuss cooperation with you, we agreed that a visionary Internet entrepreneur like you is very suitable to become our partner, so Mr. Li overrides public opinion, hoping to make Mr. Zhuo become our personal shareholder in the form of equity exchange, and also hopes that Mr. Zhuo can hold some positions in the company in the future. β
Zhuo Ziyuan was a little dizzy, he never thought that Baidu would take the lead in proposing an equity replacement plan, which was different from what he thought, shouldn't you throw money, I don't want to, you smash it again, and then I proposed equity replacement, why is it so sudden, "Oh? I don't know, how does your company want to replace the law, and what kind of position can I hold in your company?"
"We want to use 25 million cash plus 2% of the original equity to acquire 100% of 123.com, originally we wanted to replace it all in the form of equity, but thinking that you have worked hard for so long, you should need a sum of money to improve your life, so, Robin finally gave such a plan, as for the position, it is easy to say. Liu Jiping said.
Zhuo Ziyuan laughed again, he instantly understood that Baidu had no money, everything for his sake was a lie, it was just that they were unwilling to pay more equity, if they had money, they would definitely be more willing to use money to solve it, and the offer of 25 million was estimated to keep 10 million to bargain, as for the 2% equity, it was called Hanako, he shook his head and said, " Mr. Liu, your offer is too insincere, it seems that you haven't known the value of 123.com, so I don't think there's any need to talk about it, I'll wait for other people who can find the value of 123. β
After speaking, Zhuo Ziyuan drank coffee, of course he didn't want to refuse the other party, it was really Baidu who was a little deceitful too much, and the gap with his own needs was too big.
"Don't, Mr. Zhuo, negotiate and negotiate, isn't it important to talk about it, we have quoted the price, of course you can also explain your plans to us clearly, we are very sincere, I believe that no company will be willing to replace the equity, what do you think?" Liu Jiping hurriedly said, he didn't know if the young man in front of him would really leave impulsively, if it was a veteran of the shopping mall, he would be easy to judge.
"This is also called sincerity, I admit that you are willing to share the exchange, which is indeed very attractive, but your offer is inevitably too low, too disappointing. Zhuo Ziyuan continued to press.
"Mr. Zhuo, Baidu will be listed sooner or later, once it is listed, the market value will be at least one billion US dollars, or even tens of billions, and even if 2% is diluted by the listing, it will be at least 20 million US dollars, equivalent to 160 million, plus the 25 million that is given to you now, isn't this sincere enough?" Of course, Liu Jiping can fool and fool.
Zhuo Ziyuan looked at the man in front of him with eyes and no characteristics, no wonder Robin Li would send him out to negotiate, this guy is quite capable of blowing, and he also said that the future income is at his fingertips, Zhuo Ziyuan knows the future direction, and naturally understands that what he said is true, but in the current situation, can he really go that far? It is estimated that Liu Jiping himself is not so convinced, but now he seems to be saying that the 160 million is stable, "Mr. Liu, you are bullying me young, when I am not sensible." β
"Mr. Zhuo, you really wronged me, I really don't have this mind. Liu Jiping hurriedly said.
"Wronged, hehe, you take the possible future income as a price, isn't this bullying I don't know what the line is, is the future so certain, what if there is no support for Baidu in the future? Even if the support is lived, in case the stock price is very unsatisfactory after listing, we have to calculate, just use the current value to calculate, I also said that the future 123 can be worth 1 billion US dollars, is Baidu also according to this valuation to carry out equity replacement with me?" Zhuo Ziyuan's voice improved a little, and he needed to put some pressure on the other party.
"Mr. Zhuo, you really misunderstood me, what I told you is from the heart, and our Baidu will definitely be listed in the United States, the market value will not be low, just look at Google, its current valuation can start with tens of billions of dollars, however, since Mr. Zhuo is not willing to talk about the future development, then we will not talk about it, let's talk about the present. β
Where did Liu Jiping think that the young man in front of him who didn't look very old was so difficult, it seemed that it was difficult to fool, so let's talk about it.
