Liu Yueru's inadvertent actions made Li Xingping blush, and he suddenly realized that it didn't seem to be a smart choice to receive visitors from Youyou.com in his own home.

However, the result of this negotiation is related to what kind of life he can live in the second half of his life, Li Xingping shook his head and said: "Boss Liu, your offer is still a bit low." Although navigating the web is very simple and not very technical, you have to understand that it is not easy to be the first in any industry. ”

He silently glanced at Liu Yun's expression, and seeing that he was indifferent, he couldn't help but secretly say, even though this person is young, he can calm down.

"10 million yuan!" Li Xingping quoted the price he wanted, which fully doubled Liu Yun's offer.

Liu Yun and Liu Yueru glanced at each other, this Li Xingping is really a lion's mouth.

"Although hao123 is the first in the industry, you also know that the substitutability of navigation pages is too strong. If I spend so much money to buy a mere navigation page, it's not a rational investment. Liu Yun smiled indifferently.

He glanced at the screen of his notebook, a hint of meaning flashed in his eyes, and said, "As a rational and shrewd businessman, he usually leaves himself a way back, Mr. Li, look at this." ”

With that, Liu Yun turned the notebook in one direction and pointed the screen at Li Xingping. His eyes moved slightly, and he looked towards the screen of his notebook, which turned out to be a navigation page.

At its top position, it provides users with excellent content and website entrances in various categories such as news, videos, games, novels, lotteries, etc. And below the top content, there is a striking Baidu search box. The row below Baidu is a list of links to major portals. On both sides of the navigation page are a variety of popular inquiries, and netizens can jump directly to the news sub-page under the portal with just one click.

"Mr. Li, to be honest, I was prepared before I came. Acquire hao123 or invest millions of dollars to promote the navigation page in my hands. Liu Yun showed a sincere look and said: "The reason why I gave you this navigation page is that there is no malice, but just to show my sincerity, and also to show an attitude, I have other choices." ”

Liu Yueru glanced at Liu Yun with some surprise, her cousin was so capable of nonsense, but it was the first time she knew it.

She had not participated in several of Liuyun's previous business negotiations. I remember that when he was on the plane just now, he swore to himself that this hao123 was determined to win, but now he pretended to be serious and said that he had prepared two sets of plans.

Actor, this cousin is a natural actor. When he lies and fools people, his eyes are calm, his words are smooth, and his face is not red and his heart is not beating.

Liu Yueru also caught a hint of panic in Li Xingping's eyes, there was a play!

Li Xingping, as the founder of hao123, can naturally see at a glance that the navigation page in Liu Yun's hand is too far ahead of him. If the two are compared together, it will make people feel that they are not products of the same era.

The navigation page in Liu Yun's hand was set up by him for nearly a week according to the 360 navigation in his memory. He has been doing web design for more than ten years in his previous life, and it is not difficult to design a navigation page from appearance, typography to convenience.

What he really likes is not the navigation page of hao123, but the domain name. He understands that even if he spends millions of yuan to promote this navigation page in his hand, it is tantamount to a fantasy to exceed the traffic of hao123 within a year, and the best way is to take this domain name and bind it to the navigation page in his hand, which is his real purpose.

Li Xingping suddenly asked tentatively: "Dare to ask Mr. Liu, the Youyou Network and the Youyou Game Forum were all designed by you." ”

Liu Yun didn't deny it, nodded and said: "Basically, only some later updates and fine-tuning are taken care of by the company's newly recruited technicians." ”

"8 million yuan, hao123, you take it!" Li Xingping said suddenly. The web design level of Youyou.com and Youyou Game Forum is much higher than 17173. He also finally realized that Liu Yun's technical level far surpassed him.

Your opponent is not only far superior to you in terms of technical strength, but also able to crush you in terms of economic strength, which is the most terrifying thing. After Li Xingping thought of this, he began to reduce the price.

He understands that if Liu Yunzhen spends 5 million yuan to promote the navigation page in his hand, maybe hao123 can still barely occupy the first position in the industry within a year.

But two or three years later, when the annual promotion fee will continue to increase, while the advertising revenue will continue to decrease, there will be more and more similar navigation pages on the market, hao123 loses the crown of the web navigation market is only a matter of time.

"8 million? Mr. Li said with a smile, such a fund can create a hao123 within a year, a more powerful hao123 that has carved out a bloody path from various navigation pages, stood out, and finally ascended to the throne of the king. Liu Yun said with a serious demeanor.

"In my judgment, next year, that is, in 2004, major Internet companies will pay more attention to the market of web navigation, and it is very likely to develop their own navigation pages, so that hao123 wants to continue to maintain the first position in the industry next year, at least 1 million promotion fees, this is just ...... Lowest estimate. ”

Liu Yun said as he observed Li Xingping's expression, his face looked a little gloomy, and Liu Yun's words were exactly what he was worried about.

The potential of hao123 has begun to gradually exhaust, 2002 was the most beautiful year of hao123, that year, the navigation page occupies an absolute advantage in this market share, and in 2003, more and more Internet companies pay attention to this piece, hao123's market share has begun to shrink.

"That's it, Mr. Li, let's each make a move, we are very sincere in terms of price, how about 6.5 million yuan?" Liu Yun's initial offer was 5 million yuan, while Li Xingping's second offer was 8 million yuan, and 6.5 million yuan was the middle of the two prices.

Li Xingping frowned, after a series of struggles in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said: "7 million yuan, this is my bottom line, it can't be lower!"

Liu Yun glanced at Liu Yueru, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. In her heart, the 6 million yuan is an upper limit, if it exceeds it, it is a bit worth the money, but the decision of all this is up to Liu Yun.

Liu Yun's psychological upper limit price is 8 million yuan, which he has never mentioned to Liu Yueru, only he knows. In 2003, he may be the only one who understands the potential value of hao123, which Li Xingping may not have realized.

"7 million yuan is no problem, but I have one condition. The down payment is 5 million yuan, and I will settle the remaining 2 million yuan by December 31 this year. Liu Yun replied.

"Yes. Li Xingping thought about it for a while and agreed to this condition.
