Chapter 306: Li Yanhong's Strategic Vision
At the meeting, after discussing the "Golden Snake Nafu" virus and the China Internet Anti-Virus Association, the topic of "raising the cost of antivirus software services" was finally put on the table.
Representatives of various companies, including those foreign companies, have vented their bitterness, complaining that the market is sluggish, the products are difficult to make, and the enterprises are operating at a loss every year.
If nothing is done to allow this to continue, it will ultimately hurt the entire industry......
Su Qingzhi sat up straight, seemingly listening seriously, but he sneered in his heart.
These CEOs are all actors, and what they speak is better than what they sing.
Since the industry is so sluggish, the business is so difficult, and the company has been losing money and making money, why don't you change careers?
In these days, rich people will pretend to be grandchildren, look at the parking space at the entrance of the Crown Hotel, the rows of luxury cars, which often cost millions, are all owned by your group of bastard bosses......
If you really don't make money, where do you get the money to buy luxury cars?
If you really don't make money, where do you get the money to get in and out of five-star hotels and luxury clubs?
This group of old bastards is cheap and obedient!
At the conference, the "crying poor" continued, Su Qingzhi really couldn't listen to it anymore, whispered a few words to Liu Jun, and quietly withdrew from the venue.
The purpose of his participation in this meeting has been achieved, and there is no need to continue to stay here to accompany Lou Deqian, Meng Buhui and others to make a scene.
Since they insist on raising prices, Zhongzhou Technology will play a big ticket, and when they announce the price increase, they will launch a free computer manager......
Su Qingzhi is really looking forward to that explosive marketing effect now, and I don't know if Lou Deqian, Meng Buyi and others will vomit blood in anger.
When Wang Xiao saw him out of the venue, he also quietly retreated and hurriedly followed.
"Mr. Su, it's tiring to have a meeting for so long, why don't you go and have a cup of coffee together?" Wang Xiao chuckled softly.
Su Qingzhi heard the meaning of his words, he might have something to say to himself, so he smiled and nodded.
The two left the hotel together and found a small café nearby.
After sitting down, Wang smiled and said: "I admire and thank Mr. Su for his generous gift of Baidu domain name, Robin has always said that he wants to find an opportunity to invite you to dinner." ”
Su Qingzhi knew that "Robin" was Li Yanhong's English name, but he laughed at Wang Xiao's words of gratitude for "Li Yanhong invited himself to dinner" in person, and he didn't take it seriously.
Will Li Yanhong invite himself to dinner?
No kidding.
Where does Boss Li have that idle time?
In fact, Li Yanhong is really busy, and if you want to see him, you have to make an appointment a week in advance.
At this stage, Baidu has a good development momentum and is valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, making it one of the most promising Internet companies in China.
Li Yanhong set a three-year development goal for Baidu's listing, and in order to plan for the listing, he was so busy that he couldn't spare any free time.
Besides, even if he had free time, he might not meet Su Qingzhi.
The current status of the two of them is too different, they are not on the same level at all, what are they doing when they meet, it is impossible to have a common language.
Wang Xiao said this, that is, to be polite, if you are serious, you will lose.
"Let's stop the politeness of Mr. Wang and Mr. Su, it sounds strange...... You and I are of the same age, it is better to call him by his name, I will call you Wang Xiao, and you will call me Su Qingzhi. ”
Wang Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call you by your name." ”
said, paused, and said: "Su Qingzhi, I am looking for you this time to be entrusted by Robin, he entrusted me to ask if you have any intention of selling 1122 URL, Baidu wants to wholly acquire ......"
Su Qingzhi listened, and his heart "chuckled".
Baidu wants to acquire 1122 URL Home?
Something doesn't seem right.
Su Qingzhi remembers very well that in his previous life, Baidu acquired hao123, the largest navigation website in China, in 2004.
At that time, Baidu was about to go public, and the acquisition of hao123 paved the way for Baidu's successful listing.
But now it's 2001, can it be said that Li Yanhong has seen the strategic significance of 1122 URL Home for Baidu?
That's terrible, isn't it?
Su Qingzhi asked quietly: "What, Robin is interested in acquiring 1122网址 Home?"
Wang Xiao nodded: "Yes." ”
Su Qingzhi said: "It's not the first time we've dealt with, I'll say anything straight, in business, 1122网址Home is not for sale for Zhongzhou Technology, but the premise is that the price is right." ”
Wang Xiao saw that he was relieved and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He listened to Li Yanhong's tone, Baidu was bound to win the 1122 website home, but he was worried that Su Qingzhi was unwilling to sell, so he sent him to test it.
Now that it has been determined that Su Qingzhi has the intention to sell, it will be easy to do.
"What is your valuation of 1122网址 House?" asked Wang Xiao.
Su Qingzhi took a sip of coffee and put down the cup.
"To be honest, it doesn't matter how much I value it, what matters is what Robin thinks, and if he thinks it's worth it, he will do everything he can to complete the acquisition. If he doesn't think it's worth it, no matter how high I estimate it, it's useless. ”
When Wang Xiao heard him say this, he understood in his heart what he meant, this is to be sold at a price.
However, Su Qingzhi's thoughts are understandable.
No matter how lacking in technical content the home is, how shoddy the interface is, and how it is disdained by the domestic elite...... It can't deny its status as one of the world's most trafficked Chinese websites in China.
The magic of 1122 URL home does not need to be repeated, Baidu has a professional team to analyze this navigation page, and finally concluded:
Although its model is easy to replicate, its popularity and reputation cannot be cloned.
This is also the main reason why Li Yanhong decided to acquire 1122网址Home instead of copying a 1122网址Home.
"I heard that Zhongzhou Technology is developing anti-virus software products?" Wang Xiao took the initiative to change the topic.
Li Yanhong just mentioned the acquisition of 1122网址 Home and asked him to probe Su Qingzhi's tone, and it was not yet time to make an offer.
Su Qingzhi said: "The product has been tested and is expected to be released this year. ”
Wang Xiao hesitated, there were some things that he couldn't say for him, but considering that Su Qingzhi had given away a Baidu domain name for free, he owed him a favor......
In the end, Wang Xiao still expressed his opinion, which can be regarded as repaying him for his gift back then.
"I think that although the prospects of the antivirus software industry are considerable, it is already a red sea in China, and the ceiling is so high. ”
Su Qingzhi said: "Thank you Brother Wang for the reminder, but Zhongzhou Science and Technology has a single product line, the foundation is also thin, and the financial, manpower, and material resources are quite limited. ”
Su Qingzhi did not listen to Wang Xiao's advice, but said "Brother Wang", indicating that he accepted his favor.
The two chatted in the café for more than half an hour, and then parted ways after going out.
Wang Xiao went back to the hotel to continue the meeting, while Su Qingzhi stopped a taxi and went straight to Yenching University.
