Chapter 111: Domineering President

Wu Zheng seems to have aged ten years recently.

In two weeks, he will file for bankruptcy. He didn't dare to tell the employees, but there were already bad rumors in the company.

He looked around for venture capital, but the bad bag companies in the industry made the entire IT industry have a bad reputation. Wu Zheng dried his saliva and didn't get a penny.

Early in the morning, Wu Zheng arrived at the door of the building where the company was located. From time to time, he glanced at his watch and walked back and forth anxiously.

He was waiting for someone, someone interested in buying his company. This person was introduced to him by a venture capitalist, and with this layer of protection, Wu Zheng also felt more down-to-earth.

It's ironic that the website he created back then has now become a hot potato. He couldn't wait to quickly hand over this gold-swallowing monster that could lose hundreds of thousands of dollars every month to the receiver man behind him. Of course, on the surface, he will definitely not say this, whether it is a pit or a cheat, as long as he can get rid of this burden, even if he plays some tricks?

A German-made Jazz Seven slowly stopped in front of Wu Zheng, this is an elegant black car, the domestic price is about five million, its stable performance and low-key appearance, but also the first choice of many business people.

The white-gloved driver opened the door of the back seat, and a person slowly stepped out of it.

Wu Zheng's first feeling was that he was too young.

He is probably less than thirty years old, wearing a tailor-made suit, with an inverted triangle figure, he looks like a male model in a fashion magazine. But as soon as he looked into his eyes, Wu Zheng knew that he was definitely not a rich second generation who ate and waited for death, because that was the kind of eyes that only carnivores would have.

Wu Zheng wiped his sweat, stepped forward and said respectfully, "You are Mr. Li Er, right?"

Li Er shook his hand: "Mr. Wu Zheng, I'm really sorry that you came to pick it up in person." ”

"It should be, it should be. I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so young, he is really young and promising. Please, please ......"

The two went to the general manager's office on the eighty-fifth floor. Where it was supposed to be a wall, was a huge piece of bulletproof glass. Looking down from the huge bulletproof glass, it feels as if the whole world is surrendered to your feet.

"Mr. Wu, the scenery here is good. Lear said, standing by the glass.

"Mr. Li is satisfied. ”

"Without further ado, let's talk about the acquisition first. To be honest, your company's revenue situation is not very good......"

Wu Zheng's face stiffened imperceptibly: "You joked, how many Internet companies can make money now." For people like you, the most important thing is to seize the position of the industry leader, right? Our website is also the number one company in the industry, with more than 300,000 PV per day and tens of thousands of active registered users. It also has many popular works that also have a wide influence in the society, such as "Ghost Palm Lantern", "One Punch Man" ......"

Li Er interrupted him: "I know all these things you said. Let's just say, what price do you want? ”

Wu Zheng was a little confused by Li Er's straightforwardness, and he had prepared a lot of drafts, but now they are useless. He thought for a moment, maybe this is the rhythm of young people's negotiations now.

Speaking of the offer, Wu Zheng's mind came alive again. In his opinion, Li Er was young and certainly had no negotiation experience. And as far as he looks like, he feels like a good moneymaker, even if he quotes a high price, he will agree if he doesn't do it.

The number jΓΉ on the surface of the website "Become a cartoonist" is really good-looking, especially the non-work "One Punch Man" on their website, which is still on the topic list of scarves. This is still the effect of their company not investing much money in advertising.

Even his nephew, who doesn't read much comics, knows that there is such a work on the Internet with a strange painting style, but the plot is amazing. Looking at Mr. Li's age, I wonder if he also wanted to acquire their website because of this work.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng gritted his teeth: "Fifty million." As long as 50 million, this company is yours. ”

"Fifty million, Mr. Wu has a big breath. Since Mr. Wu is so insincere, then we don't need to continue talking. ”

"Wait, Mr. Li, we can still talk, we can still talk!" Wu Zheng was sweating profusely.

Why doesn't this young man understand the truth of asking for a price and paying back the money on the spot? Flip the table at every turn, how can you play this?

Li Er turned his back to Wu Zheng, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. When he turned around, he had already turned into an expressionless poker face: "As far as I know, your website owes three million debts in various aspects alone. And every month, I have to lose more than 400,000 yuan, and I need to spend 50 million yuan to buy a website that is in debt and has no hope of making profits in the short term...... Mr. Wu, you have found the wrong person. ”

Li Er's words were like a knife stabbing Wu Zheng's body. The financial status of every company is the biggest secret, how did Li Er know, Wu Zheng was dumbfounded.

Wu Zheng did have the idea of slaughtering fat sheep. He has indeed been pushed to the limit, thinking that he started a business with five million savings, but in the end he almost went bankrupt. If he doesn't earn this money back, he is really unwilling.

Seeing that Li Er is young, he already has the financial resources to acquire his own company. It is impossible to say that you are not jealous. Wu Zheng wanted to take advantage of the other party's ignorance of the company and cheat him.

But unexpectedly, the other party had already done an investigation and knew everything about their company's financial situation. Wu Zheng wondered if the people from the Finance Department had betrayed the revolution in advance.

He wiped the sweat on his head, and his head turned rapidly: "I will definitely pay off this debt directly and completely in the handover, Mr. Li doesn't have to worry." And this 50 million, I think it's worth the money. You must know that our company has so many excellent works, even if it is an adaptation of animation, it is a huge profit!"

Li Er snorted and coldly told the truth: "The contract signed between "Ghost Palm Lantern" and you does not contain copyright. And "One Punch Man" has never signed any contract with you, and even if he puts his work on another website to be serialized, you can't do anything. Not to mention derivative copyrights......"

Lear knows this very well, because he is the author of "One Punch Man". He continued: "Even if these two comics are adapted from animation and even put on the big screen, does it have anything to do with the website? Mr. Wu, since you are so insincere, then I will wait for you to go to the court to participate in the auction after you go bankrupt and liquidate." I think the price will be more reasonable then than it is now. ”

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, Mr. Li...... Wait, please, wait!" Wu Zheng hurriedly ran over, didn't care about his face, grabbed his pants, knelt on the floor and said with a handful of snot and tears: "I'm also lost in money! You have a lot of adults, and I'm also forced to have no way out......"

In his intermittent narration, Li Er understood that his partner had lost confidence in the website and withdrawn the investment half a year ago. However, Wu Zheng was optimistic about the future of the website because of "One Punch Man", and borrowed a short-term loan from the bank to expand the company's scale.

Unexpectedly, the author of "One Punch Man" delayed signing a contract with the website, and could not see the "One Punch Man" contract, and the advertiser did not want to add advertising fees. Seeing that the short-term loan was about to expire, the website was still losing money as always, and he was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Occasionally, people who want to buy a company are discouraged when they see the current state of the website. Now that it can't cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to re-establish a webtoon company, why spend such a large amount of money to buy a website that owes 3 million and has a bad revenue situation?

However, business is business, and Li Er will not spend a lot of money to buy Wu Zheng's website just because he is pitiful. In his opinion, if it weren't for Wu Zheng's lack of ability, he would not have fallen into this situation. And Wu Zheng still wants to treat him as the wronged boss in this situation, which is Wu Zheng's mistake.

"Five hundred thousand. ”

Wu Zheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he wiped his face: "What?"

"Five hundred thousand, buy your company. ”

"500,000, it's not enough to repay the loan!"

Wu Zheng jumped up violently.

"Loans, debts, contracts I should bear. But I'll only give you 500,000. Li Er took out the contract that had already been prepared from his briefcase, "If you take the 500,000 yuan, whether the company makes money or loses money in the future, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Wu Zheng slowly stood up from the ground, touched his hand on his pants a few times, took the contract and looked at it carefully. The more he looked down, the more blue his face became. The terms of the contract were too restrictive and almost completely transferred all rights to the site. As long as this contract is signed, Wu Zheng will not even be able to publicly say that this website is run by himself in the future.

"500,000, it's really too little...... Wu Zheng took off his glasses and wiped his sweat.

"You are too little, you can wait. See if there is a second buyer willing to take over. I can afford to wait anyway. Li Er put his hand in his pocket and said indifferently.

On one side, there is bankruptcy plus three million debts. On the one hand, he paid off all his debts, and he could get 500,000 for nothing. Wu Zheng bitterly found that even if the price was low, he couldn't refuse Li Er's contract at all.

"500,000, that's 500,000. ”

Wu Zheng twisted his face and signed his name on the signature column.
