Soon after, Liu Yun also learned about Sohu's offer. To Liu Yueru's surprise, her cousin didn't show too much excitement, and just said "I'll think about it seriously" and hung up the phone.

At this moment, Liu Yun's heart has some complications and some struggles, if it was more than a month ago, let alone 20 million US dollars, even if Sohu only quoted 10 million US dollars, Liu Yun would not hesitate to agree. However, after more than a month of experience, especially the trip to Guangdong Province, when he acquired hao123 with a huge amount of 7 million yuan, his mentality has changed somewhat.

Yoyo Network is his hard work, and it has also taken his cousin Liu Yueru countless energy, from the establishment of the website to a little fame, and then to the acquisition of hao123, this road has unconsciously taken a big step forward. If Liu Yun packages and sells Youyou.com and hao123 to Sohu Company at this time, the Youyou Network in his hands will only be an empty shell.

The creation of Youyou.com is the first step for Liuyun to test the waters of the Internet, and the acquisition of hao123 is the first expansion of Youyou.com. He seemed to have just embarked on a long journey, but before he could see the scenery along the way, it came to an abrupt end, and he was naturally a little unwilling in his heart.

What's more, at this time, at that time, the purchase price of 20 million US dollars is a little low in Liu Yun's opinion. I remember in my previous life, Sohu spent $20 million just to acquire 17173, and now Youyou.com plus hao123 only offers $20 million. In the eyes of outsiders, this price is already a serious premium, but Liu Yun understands that it is excellent value for money.

If Sohu acquires hao123, it will be like holding the sword of Shang Fang, using the traffic of the first navigation web page to deter the other three portals, and at the same time, they can sit on the first game website in China, the first game forum, they just want to win it for 20 million US dollars, it is really a good calculation, and he may not sell it for 30 million US dollars.

After a series of inner struggles in a short period of time, Liu Yun quickly made up his mind, and he told Liu Yueru that he would not sell it whether it was Youyou.com or hao123, and asked her to directly refuse Sohu Company, and there was no need to even negotiate.

"Okay! I see. Liu Yueru put down her mobile phone, closed her eyes slightly, but her chest continued to rise and fall because of her slightly excited emotions, and she kept saying to herself in her heart: her cousin actually resisted the temptation of 20 million US dollars and chose to refuse.

Deep down in her heart, she didn't want Liu Yun to sell Youyou.com and hao123, but she didn't make any suggestions and handed over the decision to her cousin. Let him refuse the offer of 20 million US dollars? Liu Yueru didn't even dare to think about this, she actually didn't have much hope in her heart, but only half an hour later, to her surprise, Liu Yun refused, and everything turned around.

Although she didn't understand why Liu Yun refused the offer, Liu Yueru didn't ask, she would already be the CEO of Yoyo Network for a foreseeable period of time, and the name of Ma Yun's junior sister would still circulate on the Internet.

......

Friday, 19 December 2003. In the afternoon of this day, Liu Yun happened to have no class, and he rushed directly to the sixteenth floor of Zhonglang Building, the office building of Youyou Network. Just the day before yesterday, Liu Yun told the company's CEO Liu Yueru that he directly rejected Sohu's offer of $20 million and stated that there was no need for further negotiations.

Soon after, the whole company went viral, and the young employees felt that life had never been as up-and-down as it was now, and it was too exciting. In less than a day, they experienced from Sohu's offer to the mysterious boss's refusal, and the pace was so fast that these people didn't have time to react at all.

In the conference room, the management of those Yoyo networks looked at Liu Yun with complicated eyes, but they all showed a look of admiration. They were ready to go back to work after being laid off.

Some of these people are locals, some are buying houses here, and some are because their boyfriends and girlfriends are in Ningjiang. If Sohu is acquired, even if they are well-intentioned, they will retain the original management. They are not willing to travel to Yanjing to face an unknown career.

Liu Shihua, the director of the technical department, looked at the young boss with a slightly complicated mood. He wanted to know if Liu Yun rejected this offer, which can be called a pie in the world, because he had bigger ambitions hidden in his heart, and whether he would regret today's decision one day in the future.

Liu Yun looked at the various expressions of these managers and knew what was going on in their hearts. He picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and said, "You must have heard of the rumors about the acquisition of Sohu Company in the past few days, and I will confirm here that these rumors will not happen." Let the past pass, and we need to look forward. I hope that everyone will also devote themselves to their work. ”

His words quickly reinvigorated the executives that the company would not be sold and that they would not have to look elsewhere.

Liu Yun looked around for a moment and said, "Then from now on, we will have a formal meeting." It was also the first management meeting I organized. ”

He turned his gaze to Liu Shihua, the director of the technical department, and said: "Director Liu, the last time the company had a dinner, I asked you to go to the background to make a statistic, how many netizens used Baidu search through hao123, a week has passed, do you have any results there?"

Liu Yun actually doesn't mind selling hao123 alone in exchange for a lot of money, but now is not the most appropriate time, and Sohu is not an ideal target for sale in his mind.

He needs to wait, and when it comes to next year, Baidu will inquire and come to the door, and only Baidu will really see the huge value of hao123, and Liu Yun's Youyou.com and all subsequent layouts also need Baidu's help. Although Sohu is a giant of portals, it is a pity that it is not enough in Liu Yun's mind. As for whether to sell to Baidu or choose other cooperation methods in August next year, we will discuss it separately at that time.

Liu Shihua held a document report in his hand, pushed the frame of the mirror with his fingers, and said: "Mr. Liu, according to your requirements, I mobilized the personnel of the entire technical department, and I worked overtime to finally count it." In the past month, 73% of users have used Baidu search through hao123. ”

Liu Yun was also a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Such a high data." He was immediately relieved, and after the acquisition of hao123, he made a fine-tuning, the most obvious change is to put Baidu's search box directly at the center of the top position, and there is only one navigation page on the entire market.
