Chapter 183: There is no chance to quote (three more)
"Mr. He, first of all, I feel very honored that our company's hao123 can be valued by Baidu, and even let you come here in person. Liu Yun opened his mouth before He Wenjun.
The timing of his speech was very clever, just stuck in the moment before the other party spoke.
He Wenjun could only temporarily give up the plan to speak, and listened to Liu Yun continue.
"For hao123, I did some targeted operations, I don't know if he and Baidu are aware of it?" he asked with a smile.
"Targeted operation?" He Wenjun frowned slightly, Baidu really didn't pay attention to these side details, they just thought that hao123 could generate huge traffic for the company.
He felt that Liu Yun said this just so that he could raise the offer of hao123 in the negotiations.
"You can keep an eye out for Sohu's web portal, Sina's community forum, and Tencent's QQ chat app, where you can see links to hao123. Liu Yun raised the teacup with one hand and said in a relaxed tone.
He Wenjun is also an old Jianghu, and he quickly remembered that under the Baidu search box, in addition to their own company's Youyou.com, there are also Sohu.com, Sina.com, and Tencent.com.
He squinted his eyes slightly, flashed a hint of abruptness, and said, "You have exchanged resources with those ones!"
"Clever!" Liu Yun smiled and nodded, "Mr. He really deserves to be an executive of a large company like Baidu, and he knows it well." However, Baidu is an exception, I admire this company and respect its founder, Mr. Robin Li, so I have always reserved the best recommended position for Baidu. ”
"Even Baidu's search box is directly inserted on the navigation page, which is the only navigation page on the market. ”
Although He Wenjun was praised by Liu Yun, he was not happy at all in his heart. Through such an exchange of resources, Yoyo Network has almost covered three-quarters of the netizens in China. With such a deep advantage, the recommendation position in the most central position was given to Baidu for free for four months, and it was not until a few days ago that he came to consult about cooperation.
At this moment, he concluded in his heart that Liu Yun must have done this with no small intentions, not because of the spirit of selflessness, or because he admired the relationship between Baidu and Mr. Li very much. Years of workplace experience told me that this was just Liu Yun's polite words.
"Mr. Liu, on behalf of Baidu, I am personally grateful to Yoyo Network for what Baidu has done for Baidu in the past four months, and I will remember this favor, and I will also tell Mr. Li truthfully, so that he can know the favor made by Yoyo Network. He Wenjun took a deep breath and said.
At this moment, he didn't know how to speak, and the company's valuation of HAO123 was $12 million. But when he got this information from Liu Yun's mouth, he felt that this price was too insincere, and the other party would definitely not agree.
Liu Yun looked at He Wenjun's hesitant look on his face, and said with a smile: "Negotiation is a long process, and there is no rush in the first place. Why don't we stop here today and talk about something else. ”
He Wenjun felt that Liu Yun had given him a step so that he could report to Robin Li about the situation he encountered today.
"I knew it was going to be a tough negotiation, but I didn't expect to be left with a chance to make an offer. He sighed and said, "It's okay, what does Mr. Liu want to talk about?"
Liu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Why is it always from northern Shaanxi, is it the first time you have come to Ningjiang?"
He Wenjun nodded and said: "I have been to several southern cities, but Ningjiang City is the first time to come, this city is prosperous, and it has the classical atmosphere of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
"This is a great river and mountain, you should take advantage of your youth to walk more. "In his previous life, Liu Yun had walked too little.
"It makes sense, the scenery here is completely different from Yanjing and northern Shaanxi, and it has its own merits. The small bridges and flowing water written by the literati will always be so desirable. He Wenjun also recovered from the slightly nervous mood just now and said with a smile.
"That's right, I can ask the staff to take you to a few attractions these days. There are many scenic spots here, such as Dongqian Lake, Jiulong Lake, and the Grand Canyon of East Zhejiang. Liu Yun nodded and said.
He Wenjun also understands that this negotiation is an uphill battle, and Baidu has no choice but to take hao123 in order to go public. And to get the price of hao123, he estimated that it would cost at least $15 million, which was beyond his authority. In the past few days, he wanted to relax himself, and it was just the right time for the high-level leaders in Yanjing to discuss the response policy.
"Okay, give me two days, I need to wait for Yanjing's reply. ”
After Liu Yun left, He Wenjun immediately dialed the phone and said, "Mr. Li, I'm Xiao He." I have some important information to report to you about the acquisition of hao123. ”
After about ten minutes, he put down the phone, his eyes were complicated, but from the look of his demeanor, he seemed to be much more relaxed. Perhaps he told his boss about the difficulties he encountered, and the pressure on his shoulders seemed to be reduced a lot.
……
Yanjing, Zhongguancun.
In the conference room of Baidu, Robin Li put down the phone in his hand and showed a solemn look.
He is flanked by his right-hand man, Xu Yong, one of the founders of Baidu and the company's No. 2 shareholder. If history had followed its original trajectory, he would have left Baidu in December to establish a biotech company. Today, he remains one of Baidu's key figures.
"Mr. Li, is there trouble with the plan to acquire hao123?" he asked with a slight frown.
Robin Li showed a thoughtful look and said: "I thought I had paid enough attention to Yoyo Network, but I didn't expect to despise it. This college student entrepreneur is not simple, his means are very powerful, and he is also very thoughtful. ”
Xu Yong asked: "The offer of 12 million US dollars is already very sincere, which is also due to the fact that hao123 has brought us huge user traffic." You know, the page itself isn't very technical. ”
Robin Li said lightly: "However, people have a high market share! In the market economy, we still rely on strength to speak. ”
Xu Yong was speechless, there was a disagreement between him and this old partner. He does not support the use of PPC in Baidu search, a policy that Robin Li has repeatedly adhered to. If Baidu has no source of income, how can it grow itself?
"Youyo Network is not satisfied with this price, so what is the price they expect?" asked Xu Yong.
Robin Li was silent for a while, and said, "No, Yoyo Network has no offer. Because of some words from the other party, He Wenjun didn't even have a chance to quote. ”
Three shifts on weekdays, I hope you will support a lot.
