"Mr. Liu, we are all businessmen, let's talk about something involving practical interests, everyone is busy. I'll even make an appointment with someone from Google in a moment," Jiang said.

"Google, how did Google find you, and what did they do with you?" asked Mr. Liu.

"Sorry, trade secrets, no comment," Jiang said.

Whether in the world or in the Celestial Empire, Du Niang's biggest competitor is Google, and even to a certain extent, Du Niang itself is also created by imitating Google.

Mr. Liu heard Jiang Hui mention the person who was going to see Google in a while, and he was not calm at all, now a Yahu and Du Niang grabbed Hao123 is enough trouble, and there will be a new spoiler to enter the market soon, how will this day be lived?

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, I'll go out and make a phone call", Mr. Liu wanted to talk to Boss Li about Google's involvement in Hao123 first, it seems that the original plan needs to be greatly modified, and it is best to persuade the shareholders to acquire Hao123, and solve this matter once and for all, the provincial Yahoo and Google are always worried. If Du Niang starts late, and Hao123 falls into the hands of Yahoo or Google, then Du Niang's position as the leader of the search market in the Celestial Empire will really be in jeopardy.

Jiang Hui's acquisition of Hao123,Originally, he wanted to cut a piece of meat to nourish his various companies before Du Niang went public,Now there are Yahoo and Google involved,Both of these are wealthy masters,Jiang Hui is not worried about Du Niang not bowing his head at all,After all, he knows that Hao123's import traffic accounts for 40% of Du Niang,As long as this data is slightly penetrated to Yahoo and Google,It is estimated that they will directly have red eyes,Rushing up with a big bus knife in their hands and crying and making trouble to buy Hao123。

……

"Mr. Li, the situation is a little bad, Google has also begun to target Hao123."

"What is the situation of today's negotiations, and how is it related to Google?".

"It's hard to talk about, Jiang Hui, the boss of Guanghui Technology, doesn't look like an eighteen-year-old student at all, and it's hard to get involved if you don't get oil and salt. Looking at him, he doesn't look down on our plan to increase advertising costs. Just now he was a little impatient to talk to us, I don't know if it was a leak or deliberate, and told us that someone from Google asked him to meet later."

"Damn, Google just has a ghost, it's everywhere, do they still want to monopolize the global market?".

"Mr. Li, what do you say? Do you want to start the negotiation of the acquisition as soon as possible, and don't hold Hao123 in your hands, even if you pass this hurdle, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no moths in the future."

"You continue to talk to him, try to stabilize him first, so that he doesn't reach a new deal with Google or Yahoo so quickly, and then I will discuss the acquisition with the shareholders."

……

After Mr. Liu finished the call, he took a deep breath, showed a professional smile, and then returned to the box and sat down.

"Mr. Jiang, our company is here with sincerity today, can you tell me about your conditions, as long as you can do it, I can agree", Mr. Liu said.

"Hehe, if there is no 'as long as you can do it' in the words, I really think that Mr. Liu should have a temperament," Jiang Hui said.

"Mr. Jiang, I am essentially a part-time worker, don't embarrass me, I will call the shots if I can call the shots, and I will take them back to the company after you say what you can't, and find someone who can call the shots to reply to you as soon as possible after confirmation, do you think this will work?", Mr. Liu said with a wry smile.

Jiang Hui also knew that it was impossible to have a direct result today, and the two sides expressed their willingness to cooperate, and then went back with each other's conditions to consider it.

"Mr. Liu, you must also know that Hao123 was acquired by me for 22 million cash and 2% of the shares of the school intranet, and my previous cooperation with Penguin Company was also in the form of cash and shares, and I think holding shares can reflect the sincerity of cooperation more than anything else. If Du Niang wants to continue to maintain the previous cooperation with Hao123, it is estimated that it will be difficult. I won't hide it from you, Yahoo and Google both have the idea of acquiring Hao123, and I don't think about transferring it if the price is right. I hope that after you go back, you will discuss within the company to see how much you are willing to pay to acquire Hao123, I am personally very willing to transfer Hao123 to Du Niang, but in business, if the other bidders are higher, it will have to be the one with the highest price," Jiang Hui said.

"I understand this truth, but Mr. Jiang, can you reveal your expectations, I have a goal to take back to the company for internal review," Mr. Liu said.

"It's hard to say what the specific expectations are now, it depends on how Google and Yahoo make a price. But the principle must be in the form of cash + shares, you go back and see what kind of price you can accept," Jiang Hui said.

"Okay, after I go back to report, I will ask Mr. Jiang to negotiate as soon as possible, and before that, Mr. Jiang, you must not sign a contract with other companies first," Mr. Liu said.

"Hehe, shop around, and in the end, see who bids higher and sells faster. Finally, I want Mr. Liu to bring Boss Li a message," Jiang Hui said.

"Please say, I will definitely bring it", Mr. Liu said.

"If Yahoo or Google knew about Hao123's contribution to Du Niang's traffic, would Du Niang still rob them?" Jiang Hui said.

Mr. Liu was shocked when he heard this, Du Niang's traffic source information has always been a senior secret of the company, except for Boss Li, Mr. Liu and several other high-level executives know this information, but listening to the meaning of Jiang Hui's words, he seems to know or guess that Hao123 has made a significant contribution to Du Niang's traffic, and it is foreseeable that the next negotiations will be difficult to negotiate.

……

Mr. Liu and his entourage, who sent Du Niang away, didn't take long for a group of people from Google to arrive.

There is an old saying in the Celestial Empire: foreign monks will chant sutras, but this is limited to areas that are easy to fool. And when it comes to search engines, users will know whether they are good or bad as soon as they try it. Google Chinese always has a bad grasp of the problem of "word segmentation". For example, if a user enters the word "computer", because of the wrong word segmentation, "computer" may be divided into the words "electricity" and "brain", and the results and advertisements that appear are actually about "telephone" and "brain platinum", which is ridiculous. In this situation, Google's Chinese start can be described as difficult.

Coming today is Jack, the vice president of the Asia-Pacific region, the head of the Celestial Empire office, and several members of his entourage. It is also a pleasantry, although Jiang Hui's English level is also good, but today's negotiation occasion, it is better to speak Chinese, but it is hard to translate the little beauty of Google.

"Mr. Jiang, we Google are interested in buying Hao123, could you please make a price?", Jack said his purpose straight to the point at the beginning.

"Mr. Jack, I remember when you made an appointment with me, I didn't say I was going to sell Hao123, right?", Jiang Hui said.

"Yes, no, but there is no company that cannot be sold, as long as the price is right, are you right?", as soon as Jack spoke, the atmosphere of the local tyrant came to his face. Google's market capitalization reached more than $20 billion when it went public in August this year, and its revenue in the fourth quarter of 2003 exceeded $500 million, and it is still increasing rapidly.
