"Hey, that one?"

Seeing that it was the phone number of the imperial capital again, Zhou Xuan thought that it was estimated that the swishing fox had made another call, and wondered in his heart whether the swishing fox agreed to his offer.

"Hey, I'm Zhang Chaoyang. ”

The voice from over there startled Zhou Xuan, I didn't expect Zhang Chaoyang to call me personally.

Although he had already seen the No. 3 person in the provincial party committee, Zhou Xuan was even more excited when he heard the call from Zhang Chaoyang, the head of Whooshing Fox, one of the three major portals.

For this kind of legendary character, Zhou Xuan in his previous life can only look up from afar, and can only see the legendary stories of others through the Internet and reports.

I didn't expect to come to deal with these characters for the first time after being reborn. And it is still necessary to make a deal with the other party, which can also be said to be a negotiation.

"Hey, are you the domain name holder?" Zhang Chaoyang looked at Zhou Xuan and didn't respond for a few seconds, and continued to ask.

Hearing Zhang Chaoyang's words, Zhou Xuan secretly blamed himself in his heart for being too excited, and he almost showed his stuffing. Then he quickly sorted out his mood and said with a smile: "Haha, Mr. Zhang, hello! ”

When Zhang Chaoyang heard Zhou Xuan's words, he immediately felt that Zhou Xuan's voice was too young, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake.

In his imagination, since the other party was able to preemptively register the domain name of SOHU when he had just changed the name of Whoosh to Fox. It should be at least a turtle or a college graduate, how can I hear that the tone is so tender.

However, he didn't have time to dwell on this, thinking that it would be best to get the full set of sohu domain names as soon as possible. It's just that there is no good color in my heart for this lion who speaks widely, but the words are still polite: "Hello." I've just heard from the staff below who reported to me your offer. I'm sorry, but this offer of yours is really too high. Hehe, to be honest, $500,000 is not only for Huaxia, but even for that company in the world to buy this domain name. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xuan had to say that a cow is a cow, and he began to suppress himself as soon as he came up.

However, Zhou Xuan didn't eat this, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you are wrong about this." For other companies, it's really not worth much. But for Whoosh, this domain name is unique. You need to know that a good domain name will increase the value of your website. A domain name that is very suitable for the company is hard to come by, and since I have registered this domain name, I naturally want to maximize the value of this domain name. ”

"Hehe, I know that the domain name sohu is very appropriate for Whoosh Fox, but it is not irreplaceable. We can also abandon the sohu domain name and continue to use it. At this time of age, $500,000 for a domain name is a joke. Zhang Chaoyang took retreat as advance, trying to break Zhou Xuan's delusion.

Zhou Xuan was unmoved, and continued: "Is it? Unfortunately, I don't believe that Mr. Zhang has the determination to give up Sohu. The era of portals is coming, and Wangyi is already on the way. I don't believe that Mr. Zhang didn't have the idea of making a portal, you will change your name to Whoosh, it can't be a boring move, right?"

Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Zhang Chaoyang guessed in his heart for a while, who this person was, and he actually knew so much information.

"I actually understand the next step of the fox so thoroughly. How did he know that I had just decided at the meeting to continue making content, to continue to do portals?"

"And it's been more than half a year since the fox changed its name, right?Now change it back......" Zhou Xuan continued, and then paused, "Hehe, I don't think a normal person would do this, right?"

"And Mr. Zhang, to be honest, $500,000 is really not high. You must know that in 1996, Mark Ostrov paid $150,000 for this domain name. Now even if this domain name is $1 million, many companies will rush to buy it. And tell Mr. Zhang a piece of news, I heard that a company is acquiring this domain name. Hehe, I'm not afraid to tell you that the offer is now $3 million, and the holder wants $3.5 million. Do you think my $500,000 is higher?"

Zhou Xuan said that these are all facts, but the domain name transactions before 98 years have been recorded relatively little in later generations. Otherwise, Zhou Xuan could find more examples to refute Zhang Chaoyang and let him know how precious a good domain name is.

Hearing this, Zhang Chaoyang was depressed for a while, can he compare. Now he really feels that the person who is talking to him is a Chinese in the United States, otherwise how could he know so much about the situation of domain names. And he also knows the development of the fox well, which is simply hitting Zhang Chaoyang's seven inches.

"$500,000 is impossible. I could raise the purchase price to $100,000 and no more. It took a long time for Zhang Chaoyang to say this.

In his opinion, he has increased the price five times from the previous 150,000 yuan. If Zhou Xuan still doesn't agree, it can only show that Zhou Xuan is really too greedy.

"For the sake of all Chinese people, $300,000 or the corresponding shares. Zhou Xuan said lightly.

Zhang Chaoyang categorically refused: "Shares are absolutely impossible!"

Zhou Xuan will never give in: "300,000 US dollars cannot be less." ”

"Then there's no need to talk about it......" Seeing that Zhou Xuan didn't let go, Zhang Chaoyang sighed helplessly.

"Haha, Mr. Zhang. I have another plan here, how about I invest 1 million yuan, plus a full set of domain names, and account for 10% of the shares?" Zhou Xuan threw out another plan that he had been thinking about for a long time.

Zhang Chaoyang sneered in his heart, I knew that this guy was here for shares, and now he is finally exposed.

Now the market value of Whoosh Fox has gone through two financings, although it has only received less than $2.5 million in total funding. But the market value is at least $5 million, and it is simply impossible for Zhou Xuan to get a 10% stake for only 1 million yuan and a domain name.

Zhang Chaoyang refused: "Impossible, your shares are worth up to 2%." ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, my shares are only responsible for dividends, and I can give you all the voting rights." And I can raise the price to $2 million, which is already equivalent to $250,000. I know that you've only raised less than $2.5 million in two rounds, and the market value of Whoosh Fox is now up to $3 million. ”

"That's not going to work, I don't want to sell the shares. Zhang Chaoyang attaches great importance to shares, which is related to the company's right to speak in the future. And there will be a third and fourth round of financing in the future, and Zhang Chaoyang hopes to have as many shares as possible. If you give 10% now, how much will you have left when you raise money in the future?

Zhou Xuan laughed, not in a hurry: "Mr. Zhang, that's really a pity." ”

"Ah...... Wait a minute. Zhang Chaoyang didn't expect that Zhou Xuan would really not sell, and suddenly felt that he had gone too far in refusal.

"Well, there is another condition that I put the swishing fox in the most conspicuous position on the hao123 website navigation website. What do you think?"

"Okay! Deal!" After a while, Zhang Chaoyang agreed to Zhou Xuan's conditions, and it seems that even Zhang Chaoyang knows the influence of hao123.

……

Zhou Xuan put down the phone with satisfaction, and then called to book a ticket to fly to the imperial capital the day after tomorrow.
