Chapter 399: One Meeting, Two Financings
Liu Yun smiled indifferently.
Some people once said that Yoyo was the eighth country that was born in the Warring States era of the Internet.
Today, Walker also calls it Yoyo Technology, which is the fourth ecosystem of Huaxia Internet after BAT.
It's just that Liu Yun's expression was very flat, and he didn't show the slightest flattered excitement.
He doesn't think such a title is a compliment. If you follow the trajectory of 360 in the previous life, after the arrival of the mobile Internet era, this company, which is known as the fourth ecosystem in China, is not advancing but retreating, and has been declining all the way.
In this life, Liu Yun understands one thing in his heart, Yoyo Technology is only a layout for the PC era, and after the arrival of the mobile Internet era, the three project browsers in his hands, security guards, and antivirus software, may be the same as the 360 in the previous life, and there is a possibility of total annihilation.
However, no one can deny that no matter how rapid the mobile Internet era comes and how amazing the development speed is, the PC still has its irreplaceable value and cannot be eliminated. The first thing that Yoyo Technology needs to do is to stabilize its basic disk, which is the market share in PCs.
"I believe that the future value of Yoyo Technology is far more than $1 billion. Liu Yun smiled and said in a relaxed tone.
"I believe it, but it's just the first round of funding. The price of $100 million is already very sincere. Walker shrugged his shoulders and replied.
Liu Yun thought about whether to call Zhou Hongyi over and participate in this negotiation together.
Then he shook his head and rejected the idea.
He was a little unsure of the old fox's mind, and the cooperation between them was limited to increasing the number of installed units through various channels.
Such negotiations did not make much sense to him at all.
Liu Yun asked the secretary to bring a plan, handed it to Walker, and said: "Yoyo Technology, which is composed of browsers, security guards, and anti-virus software, is not a closed ecosystem, and they have a common channel with other projects under Yoyo, which is our Yoyo Pass. ”
"Whether it is from online music, YOYO voice software, and its online games, you can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses with the three products of Yoyo Technology, and attract each other's traffic. ”
"By the way, Mr. Walker. Qianqian Jingting and Kugou are the top two music players in China, and YOYO Voice has monopolized the voice chat software market in China. ”
"Nowadays, with the abundance of Yoyo product lines, every netizen is using at least one or two of our products. ”
Walker hesitated for a moment and asked another question: "Mr. Liu, has the launch time of Yoyo antivirus software been set?"
Liu Yun smiled slightly and replied: "This year's National Day in China is October 1. Yoyo Antivirus will be officially launched with the power of thunder!"
Speaking of this, he sighed slightly: "Actually, I have always believed that the most suitable financing time for Yoyo Technology should be at the end of this year, but Priceline is our business partner and my friend." For the sake of my friends, I can only make concessions. ”
For a moment, he said it sincerely.
Liu Yun didn't make it clear, but Walker was also an experienced negotiator in the mall, and he quickly understood the meaning of his words.
After the official launch of Yoyo antivirus software on the 11th day, the valuation of Yoyo Technology can be expected to show a soaring state.
If you choose to raise money at this time, you will lose a lot in terms of valuation.
The other party is willing to accept Priceline's financing, but hopes to consider the potential of Yoyo Technology and use the upcoming Yoyo antivirus as part of the valuation.
Walker gritted his teeth and decided to make a top-bet.
Obviously, Yoyo Technology is a high-quality company with great potential. It is believed that after the antivirus software is launched, a new Internet ecosystem will be formally formed, and the Internet in China will be crushed.
"$150 million, 10% stake. "He immediately increased the offer by 50 percent.
Liu Yun was excited in his heart, but his eyes were still calm, and he said: "The price is fine, but I have a small condition, just a small condition." ”
"Mr. Liu, please speak. Walker was a little big, and his instincts told him that it wasn't a small condition.
"Mr. Walker is my partner and my friend. ”
Liu Yun first accentuated his tone and said it again.
"I hope that in the future, Priceline will not invest in other OTAs in ChinaAMC. ”
This is a cunning and greedy fox. Walker quietly gave Liu Yun another evaluation in his heart.
"There's always a time limit, right?" he asked.
"With the deadline of 2010 as the deadline, no capital can be injected before that. Liu Yun thought for a while and said.
The first decade of the 21st century is the PC era of the Internet, and the second decade will be the beginning of the mobile Internet.
Walker muttered to himself: "In 2010, by that time, the battle for the OTA market in China should have an eyebrow." If you can't win by then, it's time to look for the next investment target. ”
After he made up his mind, he said, "No problem, I agree to this condition." ”
Immediately afterwards, Walker asked another question: "Mr. Liu, has Yoyo Vacation Network considered listing on the NASDAQ?" We can help then, too. ”
Investors need to see the benefits, and going public is the best way to get back.
Liu Yun replied with great confidence: "I can't guarantee whether Yoyo Group will be listed. However, Yoyo Holiday Network will be spun off from Yoyo Group in the future, and it is inevitable that it will be listed separately. ”
In the previous life, Ctrip's market value peaked at more than 20 billion US dollars, and Yoyo Vacation.com is a combination of Ctrip and cellular in the previous life, and has promotion channels including Taobao, and the market value should be able to reach a higher level.
Immediately, the two held hands together.
Two financing options were agreed upon in one meeting.
Both the process and the ending are perfect.
After Walker and his party left. Xu Ying showed some puzzlement.
"Boss, why didn't you mention this condition when you raised money on Yoyo Holiday Network. ”
Liu Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "The so-called negotiation is to negotiate the right conditions at the right time. Yoyo Holiday Network Financing is that we have to ask each other, so we can't make a price according to our own temperament. ”
"Yoyo Technology is different, it was the other party who took the initiative to ask for financing, and it was they who asked for me. That's why I took advantage of the situation to put forward this condition. ”
There is another point, Liu Yun didn't say.
Youyo Technology introduced Priceline in order to dilute Baidu's stake.
The Big Three of BAT, each more greedy than the other.
Only when the shares in their hands are constantly diluted can Liu Yun feel at ease, otherwise he will be stuck in his throat.
