Chapter 162: Houhai Bar
After the end of the charity performance of the stars, Lin Feng sent the stars away from the capital airport, after all, they are all superstars, they are very busy, this time I can squeeze out time to come to Beijing to participate in tonight's charity performance, one is to come for good deeds, and the other is to see the face of the four kings. Of course, Lin Feng's plagiarized "Beijing Welcomes You" also made many superstars think a lot of highly of Lin Feng, and they left phone calls one after another, so that Lin Feng, who was previously treated coldly by these emperor superstars in Hong Kong, had a lot of face.
Celebrate the night.
The next day, Liu Yingying, Wu Zhaopu and others had to go back to Shanghai to deal with the company's affairs, Lin Zhizhi and Huang Meixi also had to rush back to shoot advertisements, as well as various show activities.
"Lin Dong, I hope you can succeed in winning Baidu this time. Wu Zhaopu and others blessed and said.
"By the way, after you go back to Shanghai, I'll give you a surprise!" Liu Yingying's smile was particularly mysterious, and after speaking, she glanced at Li Zhiyou quite meaningfully.
Lin Fengji was waiting for the negotiation with Li Yanhong, so he didn't care about what Liu Yingying had to say. After sending off a group of people, Lin Feng went directly to the "Houhai Silver Ingot Bridge Bar".
This "Houhai Silver Ingot Bridge Bar" is very unique, there is no name, and there is no sign, the owner's surname is Bai, especially "one" -- even if the bar is empty, you don't see it or you dare to come without making an appointment, even if you are Li Ka-shing's brother-in-law, you will all "have no land". Lin Feng also heard that this bar was very unique, so he booked a seat early.
For Lin Feng to book a seat early in the morning, this "white" boss is also very personal, if you like to come, he will be open, and it doesn't matter what morning or night, this bar is different from other bars, maybe it can't be considered a bar at all, at most it's a tea house for drinking. It's just that when you come at night, you can raise your glass and look at it, and the Shichahai and Houhai under the moonlight are immersed in the silver cold glow, which makes people feel particularly nostalgic.
This bar is an old wooden building, leaning on an old silver ingot stone bridge, with a row of wooden windows to the south, facing the dead trees and cold moon of the back sea, and the cold water of a lake makes people feel cold even in summer. Another reason why Lin Feng chose this place is that it is surrounded by former residences of celebrities. The former residence of Song Qingling, the former residence of Guo Moruo, and the former residence of Ye Jianying are scattered along the lake, and further away are the former sites of Prince Gong's Mansion and Fu Jen University, and the "Houhai Silver Ingot Bridge Bar" is just in the middle of it.
Not long after, Robin Li and Xu Yong arrived. As Lin Feng expected, the two of them had bloodshot eyes, and although their hair had been combed, they could also see that the master's hard work last night was obviously either sleepless or not sleepless all night.
During the day, there was no one else in this bar, just Lin Feng, Li Yanhong, and Xu Yong, the shopkeeper was very "uncle" and brought a bottle of red wine, and after three wine glasses, there was no shadow, and the empty bar with nostalgic feelings was very suitable for the three of them to talk.
Li Yanhong was quite strange to Lin Feng for asking them to come here, but after arriving, the former residences of celebrities around and the old decoration made people extremely comfortable.
"Lin Dong, please say it directly, everyone is a cheerful person, no need to beat around the bush. "Robin Li was tossed enough last night, and he thought about it before he came today, and he went straight in.
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Robin Li to get straight to the point, which made Lin Feng's previous rhetoric of "saving the country by curve" completely useless.
"Hehe, Li Dong, then I'll be blunt. I want to create a Chinese search engine company to provide search engine services for domestic netizens. As soon as Lin Feng said this, Robin Li and Xu Yong were shocked.
Robin Li's Baidu network jishu company provides a Chinese search engine, and if Lin Feng also wants to get involved in this industry, then Baidu will face fierce competition. Originally, there is a strong Google in the world, and Asia and Yahoo have been coveting the domestic market, if Lin Feng enters this market again at this time, it will definitely be a major blow to Baidu, which is still in its infancy.
Li Yanhong and Xu Yong looked bad, and Lin Feng had one of the biggest advantages compared to them - capital. Lin Feng's "second shijie" is now a gold mine that is making money every day, but they have to rely on the financing of venture capital funds to survive, compared with the two, Lin Feng has too many advantages. As for the so-called search engine jishu, with Lin Feng's capital, it is purchased from Google, and Yahoo's current search engine is googel.
However, what made Li Yanhong strange was that even if Lin Feng wanted to enter this industry, why bother telling them, and specially invited them three times and twice. Is it a declaration of war?
Lin Feng was silent, saying that the creation of a new search engine company was just to put pressure on the two. After the two of them "digested" it a little, they continued, "But I thought about it, instead of creating a new company, it would be better to find someone to work with. Li Dong, the Baidu network jishu company you created single-handedly, I think it is the best partner in China. ”
Lin Feng's words made the two loosen up at first, cooperation is better than competition, but then they became nervous. Now the company's equity has been relatively dispersed, Li Yanhong and Xu Yong only own 65% of the shares, if Lin Feng comes in again, they will inevitably thin their shares again, Li Yanhong does not want the company he worked hard to establish to be swallowed up.
Robin Li and Xu Yong glanced at each other, and after a moment of silence, Xu Yong asked, "Dong Lin, why do you want to cooperate with our company?
These words have been extremely tactful, if someone else said that they wanted financing, Robin Li might have thrown his sleeves and left. But now that the opponent is Lin Feng, he has to be cautious. Although Robin Li did not approve of Lin Feng's so-called cooperation in his heart, he had to give Lin Feng face. If he threw his sleeves and left like this, annoyed Lin Feng, and let Lin Feng really pull up the search engine banner in China and fight against himself, then Robin Li would really regret it. Although Robin Li is extremely confident in his Baidu search engine Jishu, with Lin Feng's financial resources, even if Zuihou wins, it will probably be a disastrous victory.
You must know that Lin Feng is only 21 years old, very young, young people at this age, it is when the blood is strong, some time ago it was made that Lin Feng, who loves the country and loves beauty more, and dares to take advantage of the "players" of his parents, Li Yanhong doesn't think that if he really annoys him, he won't fight against him desperately. - Therefore, Robin Li had to give Lin Feng face.
Li Yanhong's thoughts, Lin Feng naturally didn't know, and he didn't know that sometimes being young is also an advantage. However, seeing Xu Yong's question, he knew that this matter was still negotiable. Otherwise, if Robin Li really threw his sleeves and left, then Lin Feng wanted to take the controlling stake in Baidu, and the energy and financial resources would be too great, and it would be easier to directly create a new search engine company.
Lin Feng smiled.
"First, I greatly appreciate your search engine jishu, although Google's search engine jishu is now more advanced, but after all, it is a foreign company, but yours is independently developed and full of potential, so no matter what you say, I should support domestic products. Lin Feng said this, Li Yanhong and Xu Yong didn't believe it at all.
However, Lin Feng didn't expect this excuse to convince them.
"Second, you need to develop, now Baidu has not launched its own search engine website, but only provides search engines for Sohu, New Wolf and other portals, I think my funds can allow you to launch Baidu's search engine website in advance. This is what really impressed Robin Li and Xu Yong.
Robin Li is also quite impressed, although Baidu's own engine Jishu has served Sohu and other portals, but this is by no means their goal, their goal is to build Baidu into China's Google. It's just that now it's stuck in financial problems and has not been able to launch its own search engine website.
"However, we can seek to continue funding, and I believe that IDG and FDJ venture capital funds are very interested in continuing to fund. "This is Robin Li fighting back, using IDG and FDJ, two world-renowned venture capital funds, to put pressure on Lin Feng and counter Lin Feng's strength.
Lin Feng smiled, in this negotiation, he investigated Baidu's capital operation and equity distribution early on, which can be said to know himself and the other, while Robin Li and Xu Yong only know themselves and do not know each other, how can they not be led by themselves. It's a joke to want to put pressure on these two world-renowned venture capital funds. Lin Feng dared to make a hundred and twenty sub-contract tickets, and Robin Li absolutely did not want IDG or FDJ to continue to finance Baidu.
"Dong Li, aren't you going to listen to my offer?" Lin Feng's words made Li Yanhong unable to refuse, so he had to continue listening.
Today's Baidu, although there is no funding gap for the time being, but as Lin Feng said, it is a panacea to launch its own search engine in advance, according to them Jihua at least a few months, a mature search engine system can come out, this time is enough for a lot of things to happen.
"Chairman Li, I only need 20% of the shares, and my offer is 150 million yuan to acquire 20% of the shares of Baidu in the hands of you and Mr. Xu. Lin Feng said his chips. Robin Li will definitely not agree to this bargaining chip, but the sky-high asking price, sitting on the ground to repay the money, Lin Feng's ultimate goal is only 10% of Baidu shares.
Robin Li frowned, 20% of the shares, he and Xu Yong only have 45% of Baidu shares left, although they are still the largest shareholders of Baidu, but they are not insured. He would never agree to this price.
"Lin Dong, why are you so interested in my company? Robin Li thought about it and asked Lin Feng first.
"Quite simply, I am optimistic about Baidu and its influence in China in the future. My 'Second Shijie' and 'Dingdang', as well as fast food chains, all need Baidu's influence in China. Lin Feng wants to become Baidu, in addition to Baidu's future "money", Baidu's influence in China is also highly valued by Lin Feng. As long as there is Baidu's search engine, Baidu's influence in China in the future can easily suppress competitors, which is of direct help and even indispensable for building your own game empire and even a future financial empire.
Robin Li was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Lin Feng to value his company so much, but since this is the case, it is not without room for negotiation, as long as he finally holds the absolute controlling stake in the company.
