Under Zhang Siyuan's aggressiveness, Gao Changjiang had no choice but to agree to Zhang Siyuan's request after discussing with the person in charge of Goldman Sachs, agreeing to transfer 15 percent of Sohu's shares to Zhang Siyuan.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know at what price you want to acquire Sohu's shares?" Since it has been decided to transfer that part of the shares, Gao Changjiang is not entangled, and directly begins to negotiate the price with Zhang Siyuan.

Zhang Siyuan held the teacup on the conference table, looked at Gao Changjiang and asked, "I don't know what price Mr. Gao wants to transfer?"

"200 million, you can sign the contract in the afternoon. Gao Changjiang didn't think about it, and directly said a price.

Hearing Gao Changjiang's words, Zhang Siyuan's brows furrowed, the other party's appetite was a little big. But if Gao Changjiang asks for whatever price he buys, then he will buy it at whatever price, then he is a fool.

Zhang Siyuan stretched out a finger: "100 million, a few months, 100% return." This yield is already very high, and I believe that the price is still relatively fair. ”

"Impossible! We spent 50 million yuan to buy the 15 percent of the shares from Zhang Yangchao, and we are still operating the listing of Sohu. Mr. Zhang, I won't tell you anything, after Sohu was listed, our shares are definitely more than 200 million. At the price of 200 million, we have already given enough sincerity, and the rest depends on your sincerity. Gao Changjiang directly rejected Zhang Siyuan's offer.

Just kidding, they acquired this part of the shares themselves, plus the listing of Sohu operations. It also took a lot of thought in the middle, if Sohu can develop according to the current model, then their conservative estimate that the 50 million can become 200 million by then. And according to the current market of U.S. stocks, Internet technology stocks have been on an upward trend.

This is the most important company in the whole of China, and as Zhang Siyuan said, most of NetEase's shares are in the hands of Ding Sanshi. And it is said that Ding Sanshi has reached an agreement with an investment bank, and they Goldman Sachs can't get in, so they can only count on Sohu.

The price of 100 million, he couldn't agree to it, no matter what Zhang Siyuan said, it was useless. The reason why they agreed to transfer this part of the shares to Zhang Siyuan is only because they are more optimistic about Times Technology. Give Zhang Siyuan a favor now, and if the listing of Times Technology is handed over to them Goldman Sachs to operate in the future, it will be a great benefit to them. The most important thing is that if Times Technology wants to be listed on the U.S. stock market, then it must transfer a part of its shares, so that they will be willing to help Times Technology operate.

Looking at Gao Changjiang's resolute appearance, Zhang Siyuan smiled: "Mr. Gao, Ming people don't say dark words. I've already said that my goal is to bring down Sohu. I'm willing to pay a price, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to pay some unnecessary price. ”

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. wants to hide his true intentions, so now, he can only go all the way to the dark like this. I don't believe it's Gao Changjiang's business, but Gao Changjiang is an investment banker, and all the estimated benefits are not as important as the interests in hand. After all, it is only true when it is in hand, if Zhang Siyuan really wants to break the net with Sohuyu, then the shares in Goldman Sachs may really be able to lose money.

"150 million, it can't be lower. And Mr. Zhang, I think you can just drive Zhang Yangchao away from Sohu, there is no need to kill a thousand enemies like this, and lose eight hundred. Gao Changjiang's tone softened a little, he was also afraid that Zhang Siyuan would really buy Sohu shares and make waves, so Goldman Sachs would really lose money if he kept these shares in his hands.

He knew in his heart that they were unwilling to sell this part of the shares, but the Sequoia group was very willing, after all, they only spent two million to get the shares of Sohu, and now even if it is 100 million, they have made a lot of money.

The technology of the current times, in the eyes of Goldman Sachs and Sequoia, is a piece of fragrant bun. Sequoia's people are definitely willing to sacrifice Sohu's shares to make friends with Zhang Siyuan, after all, in their opinion, the future of China's instant messaging software market is Tencent and Times Technology.

Zhang Siyuan knew that 150 million was the limit of Gao Changjiang, although he knew that he could get back the effort at this time in the future, but Zhang Siyuan still wanted to pay a little less.

Zhang Siyuan pretended to think, and after a while, he said to Gao Changjiang: "150 million, I still feel a little lost." ”

"Mr. Zhang, 150 million is my reserve price. If we can talk about it, we can talk about it, and if we can't talk about it, then I can only say sorry. Gao Changjiang bit this price and was not willing to let go at all.

Zhang Siyuan pondered for a moment: "Okay, then 150 million, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

Seeing that Zhang Siyuan agreed like this, Gao Changjiang was stunned for a moment. He knew that his price was lower, and if he kept biting 200 million, Zhang Siyuan would also buy it. It's just that now that it's like this, you should make a good relationship, and there will be a 300% return anyway, which is not a big loss.

"It was a pleasure to work with. Gao Changjiang stretched out his hand to shake Zhang Siyuan, and then continued: "Then I will notify the following people to make a contract now, and we will sign the contract in the afternoon?"

"No problem, after the contract is signed, I'll go transfer money. ”

At the moment when Gao Changjiang agreed, Zhang Siyuan knew that this was done. If Goldman Sachs gets it, then Sequoia will be even easier to talk about. With these shares, Zhang Yangchao will definitely be out of class. The next step is to find a way to get the part of Zhang Yangchao's shares again, and then spend 150 million yuan to buy 15% of Goldman Sachs' shares today, and Goldman Sachs will still obediently spend more money to buy it at that time.

Goldman Sachs is, after all, the world's largest investment bank, and the listing of Sohu must be operated by an investment bank. Otherwise, if you want to list on the U.S. stock market, it will not be so easy without help.

It's just that it's a bit unkind. Zhang Siyuan doesn't want to care so much, capital is unprofitable and can't afford to be early. As long as you can give them benefits, they won't care if you have offended them before.

After what happened a few days ago, Zhang Siyuan knew that he was too weak now, and if he didn't hurry up and make himself stronger, he might not have a chance at that time. This is an era of dreaming, if you don't rise before others, you will be trampled under the feet of others.

After sending Gao Changjiang away, Zhang Siyuan dialed Tian Minghao's phone: "Fourth, I have already negotiated with Goldman Sachs, how is it going on over there?"

"Third brother, so fast? I have only managed to get five percent of the shares in the hands of two small shareholders, and the others are still in contact. There are a few bones that are harder to gnaw and take some time. Tian Minghao's surprised voice came from the phone.

"There's no hurry, just get it done before the National Day holiday. Pay attention to keeping it confidential for others to know about the Zhang family, otherwise it won't be so easy at that time. Without absolute control, it would be useless for us to get even 49 percent. ”

"Third brother, don't worry, I understand. If it weren't for the secrecy, my progress wouldn't be so slow. ”

"Okay, then that's for now, I'll talk to the Sequoia people in the afternoon, and I'll contact you in the evening. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Siyuan held his forehead and began to think. Now they already have 20 percent of Sohu's shares, only a little less than Zhang Yangchao, and if they can get the sequoia part in the afternoon, then they will have 40 percent in their hands, not far from holding Sohu.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Sequoia people arrived as scheduled. Like Goldman Sachs, Sequoia is also a vice president. Zhang Siyuan and the vice president of Sequoia did not go around in any circle, but talked directly to the point.

Although the vice president of Sequoia was surprised, it was just as Zhang Siyuan thought. After Zhang Siyuan copied the scene with Goldman Sachs, and Sequoia knew that Goldman Sachs had promised to transfer Sohu shares to Zhang Siyuan, the person in charge of Sequoia did not hesitate at all, and readily agreed to cooperate with Zhang Siyuan.

After an hour of negotiations, Zhang Siyuan also reached an agreement with the vice president of Sequoia. Zhang Siyuan acquired 20% of Sequoia's shares in Sohu for a total of 200 million yuan.

Interestingly, after talking with the vice president of Sequoia, when Zhang Siyuan sent him out, Gao Changjiang happened to come to Times Technology with a contract. The peers are enemies, and after the vice president of Sequoia and Gao Changjiang greeted each other with a smile, they each gave the back of their heads to each other.

After signing the contract with Zhang Siyuan, Gao Changjiang said to Zhang Siyuan: "Mr. Zhang, I hope there will be a chance to cooperate with you next time." ”

"Of course, I am also looking forward to working with you next time. ”

After finishing speaking, Gao Changjiang left from Times Technology. After he went back, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, Zhang Siyuan was able to found Times Technology. I don't look like an impulsive person, otherwise how could the technology of the times have achieved its current achievements. I was obviously deceived by his age and performance, but I had already agreed to Zhang Siyuan's conditions, and I couldn't do anything about it.

The most important thing for these investment banks is reputation. If there is such a thing as breaking the contract, then he should not want to mix in this circle in the future. He can only eat this loss, and he can't tell others about it.

But he didn't have any emotions towards Zhang Siyuan, such Zhang Siyuan was the Zhang Siyuan in their minds. If you are young and promising, you can fool them now, and your achievements in the future are limitless.

In this way, they are more optimistic about the future of Times Technology, and they also believe that under the leadership of Zhang Siyuan, the future of Times Technology will exceed their estimates. When the time comes, if they Goldman Sachs can cooperate with Zhang Siyuan, then the benefits are not one or two.

Zhang Siyuan knew that Gao Changjiang had reacted, but life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills. If your acting skills are passed, then you will naturally succeed. At the lowest cost, I did what I wanted to do.

At this time, Zhang Siyuan's phone rang, and after connecting the phone, Tian Minghao's voice came from inside: "Third brother, I'm in trouble." ”

"What's wrong?"

"There is one last person who can't get along, he has four percent of Sohu's shares, and now he wants to see you. ”

"Who?"
