Chapter 09: The Tiger and the Fox
Zhang Min finally chased Su Qingzhi back.
The only purpose of her coming to Longyu County this time was to get the international domain name of Sohu, of course, the ideal state is to do it at the lowest cost.
If things go in a bad direction, such as Su Qingzhi's lion opening his mouth, she will also have to find a way to get the domain name at all costs.
"Mr. Su, through the previous two quotations, you probably know about the authority that I can exercise on my side, you might as well say your expectations, so that we can sit down and talk about cooperation, like you have always reserved your own opinions, this is not the way to do business, right?"
Su Qingzhi had said before that Sohu Company was too calculating, and doing business was like buying vegetables in the vegetable market.
Su Qingzhi listened and said unhurriedly: "Rare things are expensive, now it is a seller's market, and I don't worry about buyers." ”
Don't worry about buyers?
Zhang Min raised his eyebrows, this is a bit too much.
As a special commodity, some people regard it as a treasure, and some people abandon it, the key is whether it can be used on the blade, she does not believe that in addition to Sohu, there is a second company in the world that is interested in the domain name of "".
It is not difficult to understand that Zhang Min has such thoughts.
In 1998, when the spring breeze of the Internet had just risen in China, and the value of domain names had not yet been discovered, Su Qingzhi was the first person to eat crabs in China, and he was also the first reseller to earn value by preemptively registering domain names.
In this era, no one except him realized that domain names could be traded as commodities.
"I don't believe Mr. Su will have a second buyer other than Sohu...... Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is, it may not be able to afford a higher price than us!" Zhang Min said quite conceitedly.
Su Qingzhi laughed: "As far as I know, Yahoo is preparing to enter the domestic market, and has already established the Yahoo China Division, and its ambitions are not small. Sohu and Yahoo have a lot of overlapping businesses, and once Yahoo enters the domestic market, Sohu will be its biggest competitor...... I thought maybe Yahoo was more interested in my domain name than Sohu. ”
Yahoo was listed on Wall Street in 1996, with a total stock price of $500 million at the beginning of the listing, and by 1998, it had grown into a large Internet company with a considerable international scope.
Once this behemoth enters the domestic market, it will inevitably have a great impact on local Internet companies, and Sohu, which has overlapping business with Yahoo and has the largest local scale, will inevitably bear the brunt.
Selling Sohu's domain name to Yahoo will definitely make more profits, but Su Qingzhi can't do this, and he won't do it, the reason why he said this is just to increase his bargaining chips.
When Zhang Min heard this, a huge wave set off in his heart.
She only heard the news of Yahoo's entry into the domestic market mentioned it privately by her boss Zhang Chaoyang, but it was only a prediction, and she didn't get any exact news, how did Su Qingzhi know?
If the domain name of "" falls into the hands of Yahoo, which covets the domestic market, it will be a fatal blow to Sohu.
Zhang Min looked at Su Qingzhi like a monster, and she remembered what her boss Zhang Chaoyang said in an interview with the media about the origin of the name "Sohu":
"At that time, Yahoo was very popular in the United States, and it had begun to show its power, so I said that we also called it a 'HOO', and we can't call it 'Tiger', which is too much like Yahoo, considering that in both the world and Chinese culture, the fox symbolizes agility, flexibility and intelligence, and then it was simply called Sohu. In this way, choosing a good day and an auspicious day, Sohu finally launched it in February......"
I don't know why, Zhang Min felt the ferocity of the tiger and the cunning of the fox from Su Qingzhi, he was really just a sixteen-year-old high school student?
Su Qingzhi saw that Zhang Min didn't speak, so he had a showdown and said, "100,000 yuan, you take the domain name." If you can't decide, just call the above for instructions, I have limited time!"
Zhang Min was shocked again, 100,000 yuan was the upper limit given to her by her boss Zhang Chaoyang before she came, and she could make a decision without asking her.
The problem is that it is the consciousness that employees should have to do errands for the boss and do big things with little money.
If the boss gives a budget of 100,000 yuan, and he doesn't save a penny and spends it all, doesn't this seem to be very incompetent?
However, Su Qingzhi's tone of voice was very hard, and through the first two rounds of fighting, Zhang Min had no doubt that if he still bargained like an aunt in the vegetable market, this trip would probably be in vain.
Those who spend 100,000 yuan to buy a domain name are mediocre, and those who can't buy a domain name for 100,000 yuan are stupid......
"Since Mr. Su refuses to give in, then I will make my own decisions, and tomorrow I will ask the company's legal counsel to fax the transfer agreement, and then go through the sale process. Zhang Min finally said helplessly.
Su Qingzhi stood up, stretched out his hand to her, and said, "Happy cooperation." ”
Zhang Min smiled a little discouragedly: "Mr. Su, you are really ...... Very stingy. ”
The first transaction was successfully completed, and it was still a big order of 100,000 yuan, Su Qingzhi's mood was also relaxed, and he said lightly: "No way, I'm scared, I don't mind Director Zhang calling me 'Su Papi'." ”
The geese have been left silent, and people have to shed their skin if they don't die, this is Su Pao skin.
When Zhang Min heard this, he was stunned and speechless.
Su Qingzhi picked up his schoolbag and asked casually, "How old is Sister Zhang?"
Zhang Min was speechless at his question.
When talking about business, he was like a black-faced Bao Gong, and there was no room for negotiation.
It's just that on the topic of age, how should I answer the conversation?
Su Qingzhi saw that she didn't speak, and suddenly realized: "I'm sorry, it's rude to ask the lady's age in person." So to change the subject, are you married?"
Zhang Min was a little crazy in his heart, and he didn't want to answer this question, but he still pursed his lips and said, "No." ”
Su Qingzhi said: "You look good when you smile, you smile for ten years." ”
Zhang Min was stunned, what does marriage have to do with laughter?
When she came back to her senses, Su Qingzhi had already left the coffee shop, and she instantly felt like she was being molested.
"This little kid is really bad!"
Zhang Min thought indignantly, then sat down and began to consider his words in his heart, and then dialed the phone number of the office of the president of Sohu.
The next day, Su Qingzhi and Zhang Min signed the "Transfer Agreement on Sohu Domain Name".
The agreement stipulates that Su Qing's well-known "" international domain name will be transferred to Yanjing Sohu Company, and Sohu Company will pay him 100,000 yuan in return by bank transfer.
Three days later, 100,000 yuan arrived.
Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, Su Qingzhi finally took the first step towards his life goal, and he believes that a good start is half the success.
