Chapter 486: An Unexpected Visitor

Since getting Document No. 16, Wang Sifeng has also gained confidence, and he suddenly became tough in the negotiations with Sina, refusing to give an inch, which surprised the others.

Wang Sifeng has already discussed with Chen Qiaoshan, and when necessary, he will make concessions, not to discuss the terms of the agreement with Sina, nor to discuss the details of the assessment of finance and profits, and only focus on one key point, users.

With 4 million users, Tsingshan Forum has already equaled Tianya, and the latter is still carrying a scandal of hundreds of thousands of legion accounts, and in terms of value, Tsingshan Forum may be even better.

Wang Sifeng believes in Chen Qiaoshan's judgment, and in his opinion, the BBS of colleges and universities has come to an end.

However, the negotiations were not all smooth sailing, and when the price came to eight million dollars, Sina also toughened up, and made it clear that this was the final concession.

At the same time, the other party asked to add a performance commitment clause to the M&A contract, and Sina paid $5 million in advance, with a two-year deadline, and Wang Sifeng had to ensure an annual user growth rate of 50% in order to get the final payment.

This requirement is quite demanding, and in two years, Wang Sifeng must achieve 5 million new users, otherwise he will not be able to get the remaining merger and acquisition funds in full.

Neither side would budge, and the negotiations reached an impasse.

Chen Qiaoshan was not very satisfied, and when it came to eight million US dollars, there was still a big gap from expectations.

For the outside world, this price must be inflated, belonging to a high premium acquisition, extremely risky, but for Sina, this is part of the industrial layout, compared with UC Langma, Tsingshan Forum is in the industry leader, and the cost performance should be higher.

……

Kang Sheng, in Chen Qiaoshan's office, Wang Sifeng came to the door again.

Wang Sifeng is very satisfied with the offer of eight million US dollars, which is similar to his expectations, and as for the performance commitment, there is a sixteenth document, and he is not worried at all.

After all, Sina is a portal, with obvious channel advantages, and a huge number of users precipitated, Wang Sifeng is very confident that if he joins the Sina Forum, the performance requirements can be easily completed.

Wang Sifeng explained the negotiation process in detail, and then asked, "What should we do now?"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little hesitant, although there was still a big gap from 10 million US dollars, but Sina's offer was not low, and there was still room for raising the price, and he was not too sure, after pondering repeatedly, he made up his mind: "Continue to talk, stabilize the other party for the time being." ”

Wang Sifeng was a little dazed, both sides bit to death and didn't let go, how else could they talk?

He asked, "What do you mean?"

"If the price is not negotiable, you can first negotiate a specific agreement, such as the payment ratio, as well as the performance commitment terms, and negotiate one by one, so that the other party can understand that our intention to sell is clear, but we are not satisfied with the price. ”

Chen Qiaoshan just wants to delay time, and he wants to try again.

"Brother Wang, did you bring the specific text of the agreement?"

"Well, I've got it for you. Wang Sifeng took out the latest revised merger and acquisition agreement, which is also the result of his time.

Thinking about the deal that is about to be reached, he is also a little excited, according to Sina's opening price, Wang Sifeng can get more than one million US dollars, and in the blink of an eye, the hard-working entrepreneur is only one step away from being a multimillionaire.

If Chen Qiaoshan relents now, Wang Sifeng's net worth will immediately crush the 96-level programmers at Tsinghua University, and if he goes to the code farmer party, he will be able to straighten his waist, and it will not be in vain Liu Chang's wait all these years.

Wang Sifeng is a little rich and safe, but Chen Qiaoshan is thinking about how to maximize his interests, and he is really unwilling not to do it.

After thinking for a moment, he gradually had an idea in his mind, but he didn't tell Wang Sifeng, but diverted the topic.

"How's the UBS gang doing?"

"No more tossing. Speaking of this, Wang Sifeng was very happy.

was really said by Chen Qiaoshan, those foreign devils and Hong Kong Yankees were bluffing, as soon as he was tough, the other party's attitude immediately changed.

Thinking that he had seen through the reality of those M&A experts, Wang Sifeng's waist also stiffened, "Don't you see, when Sina raised the offer to eight million US dollars, I don't know how to describe the faces of those people." ”

Of course, things are not so simple, Chen Qiaoshan listened with a smile, and did not mention the matter of putting pressure on Elliot.

He knew that since it was recommended by Eliot, the ability of those people must be there, but the mainland is an emerging market after all, and there are also people who are not adapted to the water and soil.

Elliot's response was very fast, on the one hand, he repeatedly emphasized the professionalism of the M&A team, and on the other hand, he took the initiative to reduce the commission to 1% of the contract amount, which is more than 60% lower than the market price, which can be described as full of sincerity.

Chen Qiaoshan is not satisfied, he doesn't care about the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but he didn't refuse, in the absence of a better choice, UBS is a good partner, which is also paving the way for the follow-up plan.

Leaving the market from the options deal, Chen Qiaoshan is ready to use some of the funds to merge and acquire the two companies.

One of them has completed the A round of financing, and it is still a U.S. background, and if it wants to successfully complete the acquisition, it has to hire someone from UBS.

……

After taking a break, Chen Qiaoshan called Jia Yinan, but unfortunately no one answered.

After a quarter of an hour, she called back, and as soon as she connected, she asked, "Boss Chen, what are you looking for me, I heard that the Tsingshan Forum is being sold, how about it, to reveal some inside information?"

Chen Qiaoshan said: "You are well-informed enough, the acquirer has your owner, do you really dare to report?"

"What don't you dare. Jia Yinan's tone was very hard, but neither of them took it seriously.

This kind of merger and acquisition of listed companies must sign a strict confidentiality agreement, unless there is a result, Chen Qiaoshan will never leak the news, otherwise once it is verified, it is not as simple as paying liquidated damages.

"Say, Boss Chen, what are you looking for me?"

Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "If you have time at noon, please eat." ”

"Let's skip the meal, I don't know you yet, and there is no good feast. Saying that, Jia Yinan himself laughed first.

"I'm talking to the Midtown Forum, I just finished a peak conversation with a real estate tycoon, and I ignored the phone call of the editor-in-chief of our channel, so I'll call you first, it's interesting enough, right?"

"Okay, that's a reminder call, don't you dare to reply?" Chen Qiaoshan teased, but he was a little curious about Jia Yinan's itinerary.

The organizer of the Zhongcheng Forum is the Zhongcheng Real Estate Developers Strategic Alliance, known as the Davos of China's real estate industry, as the only all-chairman level event in the domestic real estate industry, the threshold is extremely high, and the starting price of tickets is nearly 10,000 yuan, and it is often difficult to find a ticket.

The real estate industry has just entered the fast lane, and the influence of the Midtown Alliance has not yet appeared, Chen Qiaoshan is interested in this meeting, but now is not the time to talk about this.

"I just sent you an email, you can take a look at it, and if you can, you'd better find a way to publish it. ”

Jia Yinan became interested, and she asked, "What kind of content?"

In the past six months, Jia Yinan has won several blockbuster news in a row, which has made her in the limelight in Sohu, otherwise such an important meeting of the Midtown Alliance, in terms of seniority, this opportunity would not be her turn.

You must know that the guests attending the meeting are all industry leaders, and the audience are also the bosses of the real estate industry around the world.

"It's not important news, you look back, if you think you have a problem, ask your editor-in-chief, it doesn't matter if you can't send it. ”

Chen Qiaoshan's words were secretive, which made Jia Yinan more and more curious.

She knew very well that the guy opposite was not a good person, and his ability to poke the basket was definitely first-class, so she decided to read the manuscript first and then say, "Okay, I know, I will give you the letter as soon as there is news." ”

Chen Qiaoshan thanked him and said, "I'm very interested in the Midtown Alliance, if it's convenient, can you help me get a copy of the meeting minutes?"

"No problem. Jia Yinan agreed, "What, are you interested in real estate?"

"Sort of. Chen Qiaoshan was a little vague, speculating in real estate is a huge profit, but it is not the most profitable.

Zhou Yahui, a well-known investor, once said that his most profitable ways are entrepreneurship, venture capital, stock speculation, and finally real estate speculation.

Chen Qiaoshan doesn't mind a few suites, but it's not now, the timing is not right, and he doesn't have idle funds in his hands.

……

Not long after Jia Yinan's call ended, another call came in from Chen Qiaoshan's mobile phone, which was an unfamiliar local landline number, and he couldn't help but think.

Although Xiao Wu would secretly ask once a day, Zhang Yiyi never responded, looking at the number, Chen Qiaoshan subconsciously thought it was Zhang Yiyi, so he hurriedly pressed the answer button.

"Hey. ”

Opposite was a female voice, not like Zhang Yiyi, Chen Qiaoshan asked, "Hello, who is it?"

"Chen Qiaoshan, it's really you!" The voice gradually turned from question to surprise, "I'm Chen Guo, do you remember me?"

After a little thought, Chen Qiaoshan remembered that on the night of the typhoon in Hong Kong, he took Chen Guo to send Yu Xiaowan to the hospital, and he still clearly remembered that Chen Guo was wearing James's custom-made blazer, and he looked very pitiful at that time.

Chen Qiaoshan asked, "It's you, why did you suddenly come to Yanjing?"

Chen Guo was very happy, "I'm going back to the UK, I'm transferring from Yanjing, and I'll give you a call by the way." ”

Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised, the two got along very briefly, they shouldn't be so familiar, besides, Chen Guo is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it should be the most convenient to transfer from Shanghai or Hong Kong, how to run Yanjing.

"School is about to start in the UK, right?"

"There is still some time, and I am going to play in Yanjing for two days. After a little hesitation, Chen Guo asked again, "Chen Qiaoshan, do you have time?"

"What's wrong?"

Chen Guo said: "I don't know anyone in Yanjing, can you take me around?"

Chen Qiaoshan was a little puzzled, Chen Guo was not much older than the junior five, could the parents rest assured that she couldn't run outside alone?

Thinking of what happened on the night of the typhoon, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't refuse.

can hand over Chen Guo to Tuo Xiaoxue, she may be able to get together with Xiao Wu, thinking of this, he said: "Okay, you give me the address, and I'll look for you when I go back." ”
