Chapter 138: Shares of Disappointment
As soon as Zhou Xuan's words were finished, Wang Zhidong felt a strong sense of threat, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
Thinking of the two portals that have gradually developed their strength, Wang Zhidong is full of confidence in the development of Xinlang, but his confidence is still a little insufficient.
If Zhou Xuan informed Wangyi and Whooping Fox of the news that Xinlang was about to enter the portal, Wang Zhidong could imagine that the two would definitely find ways to block Xinlang.
If he knew that Wang Zhidong's portal was Xinlang, he might buy Xinlang's domain name, and let the name that Wang Zhidong and others had worked so hard to come up with go down the drain.
A good name is always the best when it comes to a sudden flash of inspiration at the beginning, if they have to change their names for other reasons, they are reluctant to come to Wang Zhidong.
A good name is a good name, it has a special meaning, and it is not possible to think of a better one in a while. And good names are easy to promote, catchy, and easy to remember. It can be said that an apt name indicates that everything has been successful.
The name S-I-N-A has been agreed by the top management of Finet Lifang and Huayuan.com, and if the name of the future portal is changed again, it is likely to cause unnecessary disputes among all parties.
Now Wang Zhidong feels a little difficult to ride a tiger, and he feels very embarrassed about Zhou Xuan's offer. After all, shares are a very sensitive thing, and they cannot be set in one or two sentences. And his status in the company is not high, if you want to agree to Zhou Xuan's shareholding, then the senior management of UBI Group and Huayuan.com must all agree.
Now Wang Zhidong is this idea, and he is very satisfied with the name Xinlang. If you lose the name Xinlang, then you will feel a pimple in your heart in the future.
originally thought that the domain name that he had captured was actually in such a turmoil, which made Wang Zhidong want to tear Zhou Xuan to pieces.
But reason told him that now is not the time to be angry, what is needed now is to think of what kind of way to get Xinlang's domain name at the lowest cost.
Changing his name, Wang Zhidong's first thought was this, but this was the last resort, and it was really a last resort.
Change to a different domain extension, but domain names are the mainstream now and for decades to come. If it is replaced with a niche domain name, this will make Xinlang very faceless in the Internet industry in the future. If there is a domain name, who would like to use a different suffix. Even after more than ten years, it is because the domain name has dried up and the price is too expensive, that many emerging companies choose domain names with other extensions.
Wang Zhidong tried to calm himself down, and said slowly: "Who else will buy this domain name now? The big deal is that my portal is built from scratch and everything is new. As long as the content is good, it doesn't matter if the name is changed. You're going to want your domain name?"
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath, he didn't expect Wang Zhidong to be so difficult, it was beyond his expectations.
Xinlang is not a whoosh fox, the whoosh fox has been running for more than half a year, and you must pay a great price if you want to change your name. In this way, Zhou Xuan can smoothly enter the shares and obtain ten percent of the shares.
But Xinlang's side is completely different, Xinlang is just a name that he just came up with. It was not announced to the public, if Wang Zhidong changed his name, Zhou Xuan felt that it was not impossible.
If Zhou Xuan insists on buying shares, and he needs too many shares, Wang Zhidong is likely to change his name.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan had a headache, and it seemed that it was still a little difficult to get ten percent of the shares.
"I can pay the corresponding funds to buy the shares, and the domain name should be given away. Zhou Xuan made some concessions, and I have to say that Xinlang's value is really too big now.
A domain name is still a bit too small in comparison. If he wanted to buy 10% of Xinlang's shares, then Zhou Xuan would get at least seven or eight million US dollars.
Wang Zhidong listened to Zhou Xuan's words and fell into deep thought. You must know that Wang Zhidong's shares are only more than 20% of Xinlang's shares, and the remaining two are Lifang Group and the original Huayuan.com. The management of both sides has formed a balance in Xinlang, and if an investor is introduced again, it is estimated that it will be difficult for both sides to agree.
Therefore, it is not enough to get a few parties to agree to a stake with just a domain name and millions of dollars.
"You must know that our Bafang Litong was valued at $32 million and merged with Huayuan.com, and finally established the portal. Even if it hasn't officially gone live, its valuation will not be less than $60 million. And there is no shortage of funds at all at this time, so if you need to buy a stake, it can only be a premium. And if it's a premium, if you don't come up with 10 million dollars, I think it's hard to impress the other shareholders. ”
After all, Xinlang's prospects are very optimistic in the eyes of both parties, and there is no need to introduce other investors at this time to thin the shares.
Zhou Xuan also knew what Wang Zhidong said, but if he gave up Xinlang's shares like this, Zhou Xuan was really a little unwilling in his heart. In less than a year or two years, the investment of several million can be multiplied several times or more than ten times, and Zhou Xuan doesn't want to let go of such an opportunity.
"I can still take out a few million dollars. As long as Xinlang is willing to take shares, there is no problem on my side, and I will give away a full set of domain names of Xinlang for free. As long as Mr. Wang can persuade the board of directors to agree, we can fly to the imperial capital tomorrow and sign an agreement with you. In order to get Xinlang's shares, Zhou Xuan showed the greatest sincerity.
Wang Zhidong didn't expect Zhou Xuan to be able to take out even a few million dollars, and instantly attached importance to Zhou Xuan. If the other party can really come up with millions or tens of millions of dollars, it is really impossible to buy a domain name with money.
Wang Zhidong thought for a while and said, "At most, five percent, I can only try." As for whether it will work out in the end, then I can't guarantee it. ”
Zhou Xuan heard that it was only five percent, and thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Mr. Wang." ”
Putting down the phone, Zhou Xuan was still a little dissatisfied in his heart. After all, five percent of the shares is too little, but now it can only be done first.
Thinking of the Internet bubble that began in 2000, Zhou Xuan decided that he must buy the shares of the three major websites at that time, and it is best to hold one, and then use this as the foundation to develop YY's own portal.
The three major portals, although now it looks very beautiful. But with the rise of BAT, more than ten years later, except for Wangyi, which relies on the game to stand out, the rest of the swishing fox and Xinlang are no longer in the limelight. With the rise of smartphones, various news apps have also taken advantage of the trend, constantly eating away at the market share of the once three major portals.
Therefore, Zhou Xuan will not spend much effort on the portal website at all now, nor will he control any portal website.
Sorry, it's been too busy these days. I have no time and energy to update my wedding in my hometown, but it's good to be back!
