Chapter 114 Acquisition Negotiations
Liu Yun and Liu Yueru followed the address given by Li Xingping and came to a residential building that was a certain age and a little old.
The two glanced at each other, and Liu Yueru's eyes showed a hint of surprise. Liu Yun's eyes showed a look of understanding, as if to tell Liu Yueru, I didn't guess wrong.
In his previous life, Liu Yun watched Li Xingping's interview. At that time, he had already sold hao123 to Baidu.
He said that the hao123 he tinkered with had an advertising income of tens of thousands of yuan a year in 2002, but in 2003, the advertising income reached an astonishing 500,000 yuan a month, which means that there was an income of 6 million yuan a year.
Is this possible? Liu Yun categorically rejected it in his heart. This year, the leader of the game website, 17173, had a revenue of only 800,000 gold a year, and the profit was less than 200,000 US dollars.
If hao123 really has an income of 6 million yuan a year, how can such a platform with amazing profits and low operating costs only sell for 50 million yuan, while 17173 sells for 20 million US dollars.
It is human nature for a person to exaggerate his words during an interview, and Liu Yun knows this. He still remembers that Li Xingping returned to his hometown and built a house by the lake after selling hao123.
"If his advertising income is more than 50 yuan a month, as he said, how can he not even afford a house. Liu Yueru's eyes moved slightly, and she raised her eyebrows and said.
Chinese people have an extraordinary obsession with houses, and many people think that only when they have a house of their own can they really have a home. If a Chinese person is rich, he may not buy a car, or he may not buy some luxury bags and suits, but he will definitely buy a house, which is something rooted in their blood, and they will have a sense of security when they have a house.
With a pocket in his left hand and a handbag containing a notebook in his right hand, Liu Yun looked at the building in front of him and said: "The residential buildings here have obviously been around for a while, and we have seen many newly built communities along the way, and the buildings in these communities are very exquisite and modern. If you were really rich, would you be willing to live in such an old-fashioned residential building instead of those newly built neighborhoods?"
"So you're more sure?" Liu Yueru said with a smile, "Maybe he really has an income of hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, but the cost of server operation and promotion are also a lot of expenses, so it shouldn't save much money." ”
The two came to the door of a room according to the address given by the other party, and Liu Yun stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon after, a man of about twenty-five or sixteen years of age came and opened the door, not tall, with a slightly chubby face, and hair that was the most popular among men of this era.
Liu Yue knows as he knows, there are few strong women in the Internet industry, and there are even fewer female executives like her, not to mention that she has the title of Ma Yun's junior sister, and now Youyou.com is even more in the limelight.
"This is?" Li Xingping's gaze skipped over Liu Yueru and stayed on Liu Yun, he found that the man in front of him was too young, it seemed that he was not yet 20 years old.
Liu Yun smiled and stretched out his palm and said: "Introduce myself, I am Liu Yun, the founder of Youyou.com and the real backstage boss Liu Yun, and the me next to me, as you must know, is Liu Yueru, the CEO of our Youyou.com." ”
Li Xingping was surprised that the founder of Youyou.com was so young, and he couldn't help but compare his hao123 with Youyou.com, and came to a more pessimistic conclusion that the technical level of these two websites is too different.
After the three of them sat down, drank a few cups of tea, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and immediately got to the point. Liu Yun quietly looked at the decoration of this house when he entered the house, it was very simple, it was the standard decoration style of the 90s of the last century, and at this moment his confidence was even stronger.
He took his notebook out of his tote bag and turned it on. Seeing this, Li Xingping didn't know what Liu Yun meant, and he didn't speak, but his eyes occasionally swept over the IBM letters on the notebook, revealing a hint of envy.
This small gesture naturally did not escape Liu Yueru's eyes, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Li, hello. This time, we came all the way to Meizhou in Guangdong Province, and we are here with full sincerity to negotiate the acquisition of the hao123 website in your hands. ”
After Li Xingping heard this, he nodded and replied, "I understand your intentions." How much can you pay for the purchase of hao123?"
Liu Yueru glanced at Liu Yun and signaled that he could speak. Liu Yun made a contemplative look and said: "I have studied hao123 from the layout of the layout, very concise, convenient, even those who do not know much about computers, can also use this navigation website to go to the Internet." ”
After listening to Liu Yun's analysis, Li Xingping couldn't help nodding his head and agreed with his point of view. This navigation site is also very convenient and convenient for those who are a little older and do not understand computers. This is the biggest advantage of HAO123.
Liu Yun continued: "Of course, there is also a fatal flaw in this navigation page, that is, the technical level is not high, and it will not be too difficult for others to imitate it. ”
Seeing Li Xingping frowning slightly, Liu Yun knew that his words hit the nail on the head. He has no capital and no technology, and it is not easy to continue to maintain the first place in the navigation website market.
Liu Yun took a sip of tea and continued: "However, the traffic that hao123 can bring is very important to us, if we acquire hao123, we may surpass 17173 in terms of website visits and become the leader of Huaxia game website." So the price we give is 5 million RMB. ”
"5 million!" Li Xingping read silently, and his heart couldn't help jumping violently, Liu Yun's offer was not low. If you really sell it at this price, this money is enough for yourself to live for a lifetime, and you can buy a house for yourself and your parents. When the time comes, you will have no worries financially, and you can still tinker with some similar websites.
However, he still wants to fight for it again, saying: "My website currently has more than 300,000 advertising revenue per month, and the highest time is 500,000 a month. ”
Liu Yun smiled: "Mr. Li, everyone is in this business, and they all know some things. Some words can only fool those laymen outside the industry who don't understand anything. ”
Li Xingping smiled a little embarrassedly, Liu Yun's words made him finally realize that everyone was in a circle, and his eyes suddenly found that Liu Yueru, who was sitting opposite, had not spoken, but was carefully looking at the decoration style of his room, and his eyes inadvertently showed a trace of disappointment.
He suddenly thought of the advertising income that he had just boasted about in Haikou, and suddenly there was a hot feeling on his face.
