Chapter 34 Interim Acquisitions
After chatting with Robin Li for an afternoon, Zhou Shi threw all the trading matters to Wang Xirui. Once again, I made it clear to her that the reason why I was trading like this time was because I was very sure that the price of crude oil would continue to rise. Such a heavy position operation itself is very dangerous, but it has the ability to resist risks, even if all the money is lost, it will not hurt his muscles and bones. To this end, he also deliberately raised $1.2 million, and together with the rest of the money, bought 30,000 lots of Google stock at a price of $100 a share. This time, as long as the loss part is forced, the position will be liquidated, and the risk is relatively small. But looking at Wang Xirui, who was in doubt, he wouldn't give her any bad hints, right?
The next day, back at the company, Zhou Shi called Wang Feng and You Wei.
"I'm going to buy a company, as soon as possible. Zhou Shi didn't talk nonsense
"What company?" Wang Feng asked curiously, they could actually buy the company.
"Kangsheng Chuangxiang also purchased his software as a reference when we started our business. "Zhou Shi
"What does it do to buy it? What does it have to do with our company. "Wang Feng
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all, I'm prepared for something else. "Zhou Shi
"What's the matter?" Wang Feng
"Don't ask, it's hard to say now, let's buy the company first. "Zhou Shi
I thought it was a complicated matter, but I didn't expect that the next day, Wang Feng brought Dai Sikang over.
"I heard you're buying my company?" asked Dai Sicong
Zhou Shi was a little embarrassed when he heard such direct words, he didn't see anyone yesterday, so he could naturally talk at will, but now that the person concerned came to his eyes, he was embarrassed.
"Yes, I have this idea, it's up to you. "Zhou Shi
"Why did you buy my small company. Dai Sikang asked curiously.
"I have my plan, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you about this plan right now" Zhou Shi
"Then how much money do you have to pay to buy my company" Dai Sikang didn't dwell on it and asked directly
"About 5 million yuan" Zhou Shi gave an approximate price based on yesterday's information
"Okay! I agreed. I don't know if your company needs me. "Dai Sicong
"Ah~~" Zhou Shi shouted in surprise, and hurriedly made up for this mistake, "I welcome you over, but don't you need to go back and discuss it with the other shareholders of the company?"
"No need, the company is just one shareholder. "Dai Sicong
What's going on, in his previous life, he heard that Zhou Hongyi gave him an angel investment of 80,000 US dollars, but this time there was no movement.
"Brother Feng, come here" Zhou Shi called Wang Feng out.
"What's going on with his company, and does his software have a technical advantage now?" Zhou Shi asked what he was most concerned about.
"The technology of software is still very advantageous, and they are now living in a small office building, and their monthly income is barely profitable. ”
"No one is looking for him to invest?"
"Who thinks that China's software market is very difficult to develop, and there are few to do. ”
Zhou Shi doesn't feel right, Discuz should be developing well. But none of this has anything to do with him, it doesn't matter why he is willing to sell the company, as long as his goal is achieved.
"If we acquire this software and carry out secondary development for it, will it be difficult to upgrade and transform, and will we still be able to maintain our technical advantages?"
"Yes, no problem. "Wang Feng
"Then let's buy it, the price doesn't need to be discussed, it's 5 million. Earlier in the acquisition, we still have a heavy task ahead of us. There may be a lot of things that need to be taken care of. "Zhou Shi
"What the hell is going on?" Wang Feng still couldn't help but ask
"Baidu!" Zhou Shi
"Baidu is going against us again, we weren't afraid of them before, but now their market share has dropped a lot, so we don't have to be afraid of them. "Wang Feng
"But have you ever thought about whether it would pose a threat to our Internet security if our market was full of foreign search engines? "Zhou Shi
"Then you want to?" Wang Feng
"I don't know, Robin Lee found me the day before yesterday, and I haven't agreed yet, but let's prepare first. Don't tell anyone about it. "Zhou Shi
"Okay, I see," Wang Feng said
Both sides were very cooperative, and the acquisition was completed without much time, and Dai Sikang and his team of more than a dozen people entered the company ahead of schedule to start the development of a new version. Zhou Shi naturally wants to promote Discuz's free strategy, try to occupy the market as much as possible, and promote the company's cloud computing strategy when the time is ripe.
Not long after Zhou Shi officially acquired Kangsheng, Baidu's persuasive action against him began. First of all, the school, his instructor Mr. Wei, came to him and talked about Baidu. MMP, what does this have to do with the school? It's just inexplicable. Fortunately, there were no strong threats or anything like that, even if there was Zhou Shi, he couldn't understand it. For those unfathomable words that make people guess, Zhou Shi has never had a good understanding ability.
Then Xiong Xiaoge and Fu Xiang also began to take turns knocking on Zhou Shipan, wondering what he thought. Zhou Shi coped with it noncommittally, even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have agreed so early. The classic of the three visits to the thatched cottage has been passed down, which makes the Chinese people full of bad habits. For example, if you don't invite more times and toast a few more times, it can't prove your sincerity, and Zhou Shi thinks so too.
Thinking back to the bits and pieces of Alibaba Cloud, Zhou Shi's image of Discuz is getting clearer and clearer. This thing is really not of much use to him, even if he monopolizes the domestic market, all websites use Baidu's search tools, and the search market share that can be increased is limited. However, for the immature search market, Baidu has not dominated, and it is not known that the effect is very good.
Next, Zhou Shi worked hard to improve the user experience and future business model of Discuz software. Universal software plus app center, templates, plugins, etc. Zhou Shi's idea repeatedly mentioned to them that for the sake of speed, Wang Feng also sent elite soldiers.
In the unhurried software development, when it came to the National Day, Robin Lee invited Zhou Shi to a farmhouse as a guest, and Zhou Shi did not refuse.
"Are you going to wear this?" Wang Xirui said dissatisfiedly
"What's the matter, isn't this good?" After Zhou Shi had something, Wang Xirui returned to live in the dormitory, this time, Zhou Shi planned to call Wang Xirui together, made a phone call, and asked Robin Li if he could bring his family, and after getting a positive answer, Zhou Shi naturally asked her to prepare.
"You went to the house of an Internet tycoon, so why should you be solemn. "Wang Xirui
"Forget it, don't bother, just feel free. "Zhou Shi
"What are you talking about? I can't hear you. Wang Xirui said without hesitation
"Nothing, everything is up to you. "Zhou Shi
"Count you as acquaintances!" Wang Xirui
So Zhou Shi put on casual clothes, shoes and socks worth nearly 10,000 yuan for the first time, came to a farmhouse on the outskirts of Beijing, and met Robin Li's family, as well as Xu Yong and Professor Liu.
