The good 123 in the previous life can be regarded as a legend, because its founder Li Xingping only graduated from high school, and then worked as a network administrator in the Internet café, without any start-up capital, relying on him to maintain it alone, and began to promote it from the Internet café, to the promotion of various forums, so that it slowly developed, after 5 years of development, by 2004, it actually entered the top 30 of Alexa, and finally sold to Baidu at a price of 10 million.

How high is the specific, there are different statements, some say 50 million plus a small number of stocks, and some say 10 million plus a small number of stocks, but Zhuo Ziyuan seems that the first possibility is relatively high, because Zhuo Ziyuan thinks that Alexa's top 30 navigation websites are more than this price, because it can bring very considerable traffic and advertising revenue, plus at that time, Baidu was not a monopoly, there were several competitors.

However, it may also be the second one, because Li Xingping only graduated from high school, and may not know the true value of the website, or he does not understand negotiation strategies at all, etc., and there is also such a saying in his previous life.

However, in any case, Zhuo Ziyuan felt that selling cash was a very loss-making business, if it was replaced by himself, he would definitely replace all of them with Baidu shares, even if he gave up his voting rights, as long as he paid dividends, once Baidu was listed, the value of the stock would definitely skyrocket.

Looking at such a simple web page in front of him, Zhuo Ziyuan suddenly saw a financial road, he could also develop a navigation website, and when the ranking on Alexa went up, he sold his navigation website to Baidu and replaced Baidu shares, but when the time came, he would have to find someone who was proficient in investment banking, at least, Zhuo Ziyuan was not clear at all about the valuation of Baidu at all stages.

In addition, I don't know how to get a website, and it's also very troublesome to promote, so it's not impossible to recruit someone to specialize in this, the problem is, if the other party is doing it, it feels valuable, what if you go to play by yourself, Zhuo Ziyuan doesn't have a very good way to prevent it, the reason why Li Xingping can rank the website so high in the previous life is because no one paid attention to the navigation website in the early stage, and it wasn't until 2003 that anyone discovered this market, but it was too late, and 123 has occupied more than half of the Internet users in China.

Thinking about it, Zhuo Ziyuan felt that it was better to find Li Xingping directly, not to buy, to keep a part of the shares for him, of course, he must take the lion's share, so that he didn't have to come forward, the website is still Li Xingping is responsible, and the subsequent sale in his name can also ensure his low-key style.

Now there is just a time to talk about acquisitions, that is, the upcoming Internet bubble bursts, the Nasdaq stock index plummets, and the stocks of all interconnected companies plummet, and the shares fall below the issue price, falling to one-tenth, which is a common thing, and many companies directly go bankrupt.

In fact, the bursting of the Internet bubble is not only an opportunity for acquisition, but also an opportunity to buy the bottom, because Zhuo Ziyuan knows that there are more famous companies that survived in the end, he only needs to look at the stock trend, which has plummeted in the past two years, and then it is still strong after more than ten years. The problem is that at this time, many Internet companies are listed in the United States, and they have no dollars, and Zhuo Ziyuan has not made much money in the past two years, and it is even less when it is converted into dollars.

However, at the thought of having the opportunity to invest in one of the three major Internet giants in China, Zhuo Ziyuan felt excited, if he could take all three of these giants, then he would not have to do anything, and he would have to wait for any opportunity to speculate in stocks or something, and then the dividends would be enough for him to spend a lifetime, and he would be a shareholder of the three giants, don't be too happy.

Forget it, don't do such a daydream first, don't have that capital, the opportunity of Baidu is in front of you, you can't give it up, and the rest is to help my dad open a chain convenience store in a down-to-earth manner.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Ziyuan didn't want to wait for a moment, and directly said to Liu Yang, and got off the plane to go home, there is a landline at home, you can call Lu Tao, Zhuo Ziyuan is ready to learn about the current situation of 123 through the law firm, after all, there are more channels in the law firm.

At this time, Zhuo Ziyuan felt that he should have a mobile phone, otherwise it would be really inconvenient to find Lu Tao if he had any urgent matters in the future.

After thinking about it, Zhuo Ziyuan didn't go home and went directly to the mobile store of the Cultural Palace, looked at the mobile phone, and was really disappointed, these mobile phones were too ugly, and I found a Nokia mobile phone directly, Zhuo Ziyuan's first mobile phone in my previous life was bought before going to college, and it was also Nokia, I forgot what model it was.

Finally saw a mobile phone that is not particularly ugly, but also in line with Zhuo Ziyuan's aesthetics, 3210, supports receiving Chinese text messages, but only supports English input method, which is also a helpless thing, this stage supports Chinese input mobile phones, but ugly, Zhuo Ziyuan does not want to send text messages, because the current mobile phone input method is really inconvenient.

So I spent 1500 to buy 3210, and I chose a calling card, and directly reported the mobile phone number used in my previous life, yes, I still have it, and I saved 200 yuan.

Zhuo Ziyuan is a long-term person, this mobile phone number has not been changed since it started, and the QQ number is the same, at this time, it is estimated that it is not called QQ, it should be called OICQ, Zhuo Ziyuan has not applied for a QQ number, because there is no such demand now, although the early number can be sold for money, but that is also seven or eight years later, Zhuo Ziyuan feels that there is no need to even earn this money.

After buying the mobile phone, Zhuo Ziyuan immediately called Lu Tao, and as soon as the other side was connected, Zhuo Ziyuan said directly, "Lawyer Lu, hello, I am Zhuo Ziyuan, this is the new mobile phone I bought today, you save it, you can call me or text me if you have something in the future, and I will take the time to call back." ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhuo, you have finally bought a mobile phone, and I can contact you as soon as possible if I have an urgent matter in the future. Lu Tao was very happy.

"I have something to talk to you about today, and your law firm should be able to assist in the acquisition of companies, websites, and so on. ”

"Yes, we can handle the relevant legal aspects and can conduct due diligence on the company you acquired, but the specific negotiation still requires professional personnel, and we can check the terms of the acquisition contract to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Lu Tao felt a little incredible, he had just published a few books, why did he jump to the point of making acquisitions, he didn't know what Zhuo Ziyuan wanted to do and how big things he was going to do, so he was more conservative.

"Well, then let me tell you something, I want to acquire a website, the name is 123, your law firm should be able to help investigate the situation of this website and the contact information of the registrant, I will negotiate with the other party in the future, and then the law firm needs to draw up a contract." Zhuo Ziyuan thought about it, let's negotiate by myself, but the contract should still be rigorous.

"This is no problem, we will investigate this website as soon as possible, I don't know when Mr. Zhuo is going to talk to the other party?" Lu Tao knew that Zhuo Ziyuan was serious, and the investigation information was also simple.

"The acquisition is not in a hurry for the time being, you can help me investigate the situation of this website first, and after investigating the phone contact, the remuneration will be according to the rules of your law firm." Zhuo Ziyuan took the initiative to mention the matter of remuneration.

"Okay, I'll look into it as soon as possible. ”
