"Mr. Chen, I heard that Sina wants to acquire Tsingshan Forum?"

After pondering for a long time, Dong Qifeng asked again.

This matter is not a secret, Tianya refused to buy it in the front, and Maopu was bought out by Chen Yizhou, and it is reasonable to find the Qingshan Forum, and it is impossible to hide it.

Chen Qiaoshan secretly thought in his heart, this may be the main purpose of Dong Qifeng's coming over today.

The laggard was jointly acquired by Kangsheng and Tsingshan Forum, no wonder he asked this question, if Tsingshan Forum was really sold, Dong Qifeng's position would be embarrassing.

Wang Sifeng's secrecy work is good, and the sale plan is only known to a few people in a small area, and it is difficult for outsiders to see through his plan.

"There is such a thing, Sina is talking to Lao Wang, what, do you have ideas?" Chen Qiaoshan did not deny it, but he would not say anything rashly.

Dong Qifeng was very helpless, what could he think, some were just worried.

Outsiders don't know, but he knows it well, Qingshan Forum and Kangsheng don't seem to have anything to do with each other, the two are actually a family.

Even if there is nothing to see from the equity, the legal person is Chen Qiaoshan's girlfriend, and Wang Sifeng is only Chen Qiaoshan's leader, although the specific equity structure is not clear, but insiders know that Chen Qiaoshan is the behind-the-scenes investor, which is an open secret.

Dong Qifeng cautiously glanced at the boss's expression, and saw that he had no special emotions, so he said, "Mr. Chen, does the Qingshan Forum have any plans to sell?"

Sina is a listed company, with a market value of one billion US dollars, a big business, Dong Qifeng is very self-aware, and the laggards have small arms and legs, and their prospects are worrying with poor performance.

Chen Qiaoshan knew his concerns, and he said with a smile: "The forum was established by Lao Wang, and the specific situation depends on what he means, and I don't know his plan." ”

"But don't worry, no matter what the result is, Kangsheng is the actual controller of the laggard, and my support for you will not change. ”

Chen Qiaoshan still had some reservations in his words, and he didn't want to tell the truth.

For the laggards, he will definitely not give up, and he may not be in the eyes of Sina if he wants to come to Sina, so there should not be too much of a problem.

Although he knew that Chen Qiaoshan's words were not true, Dong Qifeng couldn't continue to ask anything, but if he finally got a promise, his goal could be regarded as achieved.

……

Dong Qifeng had just left on his front foot, and Wang Sifeng rushed over again.

"What's the matter, Brother Wang, if you say something on the phone, there's no need to run in person, right?"

The two are accustomed to each other, and Wang Sifeng is not polite, and directly explained his intention: "The people from Sohu have also come to the door." ”

"Really?" Although it had been expected, Chen Qiaoshan was still a little surprised, this speed was inevitably too fast.

Among today's major portals, the competition between Sohu and Sina is obvious to all, and it is all-round.

Sina just spent more than $30 million on the front foot to buy UC Langma, and Sohu immediately launched SoQ, which has an obvious meaning.

Zhang Chaoyang spent 100 million yuan to select six "Miss MMS" as the image ambassador of the website, Sina's CEO immediately said that our MMS business has been launched, Sina is a responsible Internet listed company, and investors' money will not pay for jewelry, cocktail parties and luxury cruise ships, and there is no doubt that it will be a proper slap in the face.

Of course, the fighting continues.

On yesterday's news, the two families were on the same page again.

Mr. Zhang announced in a high-profile manner that he would send reporters to Athens for front-line reporting, and declared that Sohu is the most cutting-edge Internet media in China. ”

The two families fought to the death, Chen Qiaoshan was happy to see it, there was a competitor, and the Qingshan Forum had room for appreciation.

"I'm not kidding, I just sent people away, so I'm here to discuss with you. ”

Wang Sifeng's mood is very complicated, Qingshan Forum started from scratch, he poured a lot of effort, but the real promoter is Chen Qiaoshan, not only the initial investment, but also the promotion of the website is also handled by him.

Wang Sifeng has always been puzzled, and since its birth, Tsingshan Forum has not considered any profit plan.

He has always been very incomprehensible that the huge investment in exchange for millions of registered users, the annual advertising revenue is lost in vain, and there is no hope of profitability.

Now it seems that Chen Qiaoshan should have a plan to cash out arbitrage early on.

Compared with the annual advertising revenue of 100,200,000, you can't earn back $10 million in a hundred years, and this is still the starting price.

With Sohu participating in the bidding, with Chen Qiaoshan's character, it is obviously impossible not to open his mouth.

Wang Sifeng calculated in his heart that if the deal was successfully concluded, he would instantly become one of the multimillionaires.

And it's not Dai Zhikang's valuation, it must be the income of real money, with his understanding of Chen Qiaoshan, he will definitely not lose his share, and he can't help but be shaken when he thinks about it.

Wang Sifeng is a little delirious, this money is enough for him to settle down in Yanjing, surpassing the vast majority of the 96th code farmers in Qingbei in one fell swoop, not to mention standing at the top of his life, at least to participate in the gathering of the code farmer circle, he can not be weaker than others.

At the same time, Wang Sifeng also had some concerns in his heart.

Once the acquisition is completed, as the stationmaster, he will inevitably merge into Sina or Sohu with the forum, and he will still embark on the old path of Zhou Feng, Xu Chaojun and others, and he is really a little unwilling to think about it.

Subconsciously, maybe continuing to follow Chen Qiaoshan is the right way, but in the face of huge wealth, few people can refuse.

Thinking about it, Wang Sifeng was also entangled.

Chen Qiaoshan naturally didn't know what Wang Sifeng thought, he was more thinking about how to sell the forum at a high price.

Whether it is Sina or Sohu, Chen Qiaoshan has no bias, and value is the only criterion.

"Brother Wang, I found a few helpers for you, and as soon as the stationmaster meeting is over, you will officially start talking about mergers and acquisitions with the two companies. ”

Nowadays, the campus networks of various universities are interconnected, which is the biggest factor hindering the development of the forum in disguise.

Chen Qiaoshan knows that the new regulations of the Ministry of Education are about to be introduced, and once the school intranet is closed, the golden age of the development of the forum will come.

Wang Sifeng asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"They are all professional mergers and acquisitions, composed of senior people in marketing, finance, law, human resources, etc., and professional things are handled by professional people, you and Xiaoqin only need to sign at the end, don't bother too much. ”

It was inconvenient for Chen Qiaoshan to come forward, but he didn't intend to stay out of the matter, and then again, even if he came forward in person, he might not have a professional background.

Financing can be expensive, but mergers and acquisitions are different, especially when it comes to listed companies, which require complete due diligence.

Compared with financing, due diligence for M&A has strict quantitative standards for business data, prospects, transaction risks, etc.

As long as the venture capitalist agrees, outsiders will not put forward any opinions, but endless touting.

Wang Sifeng asked, "Where did you invite the person, is it reliable?"

"Rest assured, they are all old fritters in Hong Kong's financial circles, and now this market is still a foreign expert who knows how to do it, Sina and Sohu are not easy to get along, and inviting foreign aid can also increase a lot of weight. ”

"It's not cheap to hire someone from Hong Kong, right?" Wang Sifeng was a little worried.

He knew that Chen Qiaoshan would toss, no matter how he said it, it was also a business of hundreds of millions, and the news would definitely detonate the IT circle.

Wang Sifeng is very self-aware, he can write code, and he doesn't know anything about finance, but he also knows that this kind of transaction between enterprises is generally charged on a proportional basis, and it is often tens of millions.

Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "Don't worry, it doesn't cost much, it shouldn't exceed 3% of the merger and acquisition price, and there is a professional team in charge, and the price can rise by at least five percentage points." ”

Wang Sifeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is probably the difference between a coder and a financier, he thinks about controlling costs, and others calculate the maximization of profits.

"By the way, there's one more thing. ”

After a pause, Wang Sifeng said again: "Someone posted on the forum, scolding Yahoo, isn't Mr. Zhou going to attend the meeting tomorrow, shall we deal with it?"

Chen Qiaoshan became interested when he heard it, Zhou Hongyi is now a pivotal figure in the Internet circle, and the dispute with Baidu is even more well-known.

Even though 3721 has been merged into Yahoo, the lawsuit is not over.

Of course, whether it's 3721 or Baidu, it's not a simple person.

At the beginning, Baidu listed the various hooligan tricks of 3721 in court, but in the cross-examination stage, Zhou Hongyi replied solemnly: "I have done everything I have done Robin Li." The judge who made the trial laugh and cry either.

What Chen Qiaoshan cares about is not the laughing fruit, but this sentence, which explains the bad ecology of today's Internet, of course, this is actually a business opportunity.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Wang Sifeng said: "Didn't Yahoo just launch a search network, and vowed to challenge Baidu and become the king of the domestic Internet search field." ”

As a result, at noon, some netizens posted on our forum, saying that the domain name and webpage of Yisso.com and even the advertising slogan were plagiarized. ”

Didn't Mr. Zhou claim that a search was his idea recently, and netizens scolded him. ”

Chen Qiaoshan was very curious that there was such a thing.

His first reaction was to touch porcelain, the resemblance of the domain name is too normal, not to mention that the resemblance is not the same, it should not be so serious.

Seeing that he didn't care, Wang Sifeng reminded: "You better take a look at the post, I'm afraid Mr. Zhou will be in trouble this time." ”

Seeing that Wang Sifeng was very solemn, Chen Qiaoshan was also interested, he opened the post and looked at it, and couldn't help but be frightened, this is the rhythm of going to court.

Yisou, Yahoo's new Chinese search engine, aims to replace Baidu, which can be described as ambitious.

, it's really quite similar, and besides, the meaning of the advertising slogans of "one search for the world" and "unified search, one search for the world" is also the same.

Chen Qiaoshan looked at the link of the poster, and couldn't help but sympathize with this person.

This is also an Internet person, who also does a search engine, not only the domain name and advertising slogan are similar, but even the web page is very similar.

Chen Qiaoshan knew that it was difficult to determine whether Boss Zhou plagiarized or not, but this should at least be regarded as an infringement.

According to the rules for the settlement of domain name disputes, the two domain names have the characteristics of "confusing similarity", and the lawsuit still needs to be fought.

Boss Zhou is afraid that he will be in trouble this time, and he will not be able to build a search engine with a lot of money, and he will be copied in a blink of an eye.

After thinking about it, Chen Qiaoshan asked, "Is there any movement in other forums?"

Wang Sifeng said: "Not yet, Mr. Zhou is going to promote a search at the stationmaster meeting tomorrow, I am afraid that the impact will not be good, so I will lock the post." ”

Chen Qiaoshan looked at it, and sure enough, there were few replies, he didn't care, he pondered for a while, and then he confessed: "You contact the poster first." ”

"Why are you contacting him?" Wang Sifeng was a little surprised, the two sides had no connection in the slightest, and even if they did, there was nothing to say.

Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "Let's understand the situation first, how to say that the other party is also a victim, as a peer, it is still necessary for you to express your concern on behalf of the Tsingshan Forum, and besides, you can also take the opportunity to do some promotion!"

Wang Sifeng couldn't help but be stunned, "This has nothing to do with the forum, besides, Zhou Hongyi has to give us a platform tomorrow, so we can't dismantle his platform in private, right?"

Chen Qiaoshan shook his head, "It's not enough to dismantle the stage, but it's okay to give a big gift and repay personal favors." ”

Having said that, Wang Sifeng didn't feel the slightest bit of sincerity, and he didn't have to think that he could guess that Chen Qiaoshan might have to use the topic again this time.
