Chapter 126: Shaken
Money is always the greatest motivation of human beings. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because of the hope of success, Gu Honglou was unprecedentedly positive.
Early the next morning, Gu Honglou rushed to the hotel to meet Li Dong.
The first thing I said when I saw Li Dong was: "Mr. Li, this matter is handed over to Lao Gu and me, and I promise to help you do it properly!"
Li Dong was happy in his heart, if he wasn't sure, Gu Honglou wouldn't have said that.
"Then I'll count on Mr. Gu!"
Li Dong laughed, and didn't ask him what he had found out specifically, and he suddenly became so confident.
Because Gu Honglou hadn't eaten breakfast yet, a few people were ready to see Xu Yong again after simply finishing breakfast in the hotel.
Before leaving the hotel gate, Li Dong met Hu Yue's boss again, but this time he didn't see Hu Yue.
Seeing Li Dong, the mature woman didn't stop, nodded slightly and left, and when she left, she deliberately glanced at Gu Honglou.
Gu Honglou also glanced at her, and when she saw Li Dong looking over, Gu Honglou smiled and said, "Some of them are familiar, I should have seen them once from a friend." ”
Although Li Dong was a little curious, he didn't inquire.
……
Seeing Li Dong again, Xu Yong's smile seemed much faker.
"Mr. Li, meet again!"
Li Dong shook his hand with a smile and said, "I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Xu, but I'm really sincere." ”
Xu Yong smiled and didn't speak, this is the second time, it's only three, the next time Li Dong comes back, I'm afraid someone will stand in the way.
Because there was an extra Gu Red Mansion this time, Xu Yong couldn't help but glance at him more.
Seeing Xu Yong looking over, Gu Honglou stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, I am Gu Honglou, the intermediary of the Red Mansion, I am fortunate to meet." ”
Xu Yong pondered for a moment, shook his hand and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Gu Honglou suddenly showed a look of honor, and said with an exaggerated smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Xu to remember me, I feel honored!"
Xu Yong smiled and didn't speak, Gu Honglou, a Maitreya Buddha-like figure, is very unforgettable as long as he has seen it once.
Moreover, Gu Honglou is in this part of the capital specifically to deal with business elites like them, and it is not surprising that he has had contact.
Li Dong even invited Gu Honglou, and Xu Yong couldn't help but feel a little interested.
You must know that Gu Honglou is a middleman, not an expert negotiator.
What is called a middleman is that both sides pull the relationship, both sides have ideas, and they are the middlemen who match them.
And Gu Honglou hadn't contacted him before, and now he unilaterally followed Li Dong over, and this middleman was a bit unworthy of his name.
beckoned Li Dong and the others to sit down, Xu Yong didn't speak, revealing a deferential expression.
Since Li Dong came to see him again, he must have felt that there was something that could impress him.
Xu Yong was very curious, why did Li Dong think he could let him go?
Li Dong didn't speak, but looked at Gu Honglou, this time he was counting on Gu Honglou.
Gu Honglou didn't directly say anything about the shares, but said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Xu's company has recently developed a new drug?"
Xu Yong nodded, this is not too much of a secret, there is no need to deny it.
"The investment in new drugs from R&D to production is not a small amount, and Mr. Xu has now begun to contact banks and venture capital, right?"
Xu Yong perked up, glanced at Gu Honglou and didn't speak.
The development of a new drug is not a secret, and the contact with venture capitalists and banks is a real secret, and it is only a preliminary negotiation, and they have not officially met so far.
Xu Yong remained silent, but it was not impatient, but he wanted to hear Gu Honglou continue.
Gu Honglou was not surprised, and continued: "Since Mr. Xu is short of money, why don't you consider selling your Baidu shares, but choose venture capital and banks?"
Xu Yong did not remain silent this time, but replied: "Investment and return are directly proportional. ”
Li Dong and Gu Honglou understood the meaning of these words.
What Xu Yong means is that keeping Baidu shares in his hands will bring him greater returns, while venture capital and banks will have to pay less.
It's a question of money, and then it's a matter of price.
Li Dong was about to speak, but he saw Gu Honglou shaking his head.
Gu Honglou said with a smile: "To put it mildly, it seems that not many people are optimistic about Mr. Xu's new medicine now, and the bank should not give you a loan, right?"
Xu Yong's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "This is not always worrying about Lao Gu." ”
"Hehe, I understand what Mr. Xu meant, you are putting your main purpose on the wind. ”
Gu Honglou took a sip of water and continued: "Let's not talk about whether the venture capital is willing to invest, even if there is a venture capital willing to take over, Mr. Xu is really willing?"
You must know that venture capital is not charity, and don't expect them to pay for a business that is not profitable.
If Xu Yong can't bring them the benefits they deserve, they will definitely withdraw their investment.
Even if he does not withdraw his investment, over time, Xu Yong's voice in the company will definitely gradually decrease.
And here comes the problem, the right to speak is lost, which is a lesson for Xu Yong.
At the beginning of Baidu, it was precisely because of the gradual reduction of his voice that he was finally kicked out of the board of directors, and even directly kicked out later.
This kind of possibility is not impossible, and it is very likely, how many companies are directly kicked out because of the reduction of the founder's shares.
Xu Yong, who has already experienced it once, is he really willing to do it again?
Xu Yong's face began to change, and for the first time, he retorted excitedly: "I am very optimistic about my new drug, as long as the new drug comes out, it will definitely bring incomparably rich benefits." ”
"How long does that take? R&D, clinical trials...... It will take at least a few years for the drug to be on the market, will Xu always be able to hold on until that time?"
"Baidu is going to go public soon, and I can choose to cash out some of it after it goes public!"
Gu Honglou shook his head and disagreed: "Mr. Xu, Ming people don't say dark words, you are so firm now, don't you think that Baidu's listing will definitely make you a lot of money?"
Gu Honglou didn't deny this, so he didn't reply.
"Don't forget NetEase!"
When it comes to NetEase, it's a big tragedy.
Since it was listed on the NASDAQ in 00, NetEase's share price has not risen but fallen, and now it has been almost five years since it was listed, and the stock price is still the same as the issue price.
In other words, in five years, the value of those shareholders who hold NetEase shares has barely moved.
This is still a case where prices are not rising, and after five years, they are still at a loss.
Xu Yong is doing this, how can he not know NetEase.
Xu Yong's face changed slightly, if you really want to talk about it, he is so confident in Baidu?
This is not necessarily, not to mention Gu Honglou, even Li Dong knew that Xu Yong had suggested that Baidu be packaged and sold.
It is precisely because they are not optimistic about Baidu that they have made some decisions that contradict Li Yanhong several times, which will lead to a bigger and bigger rift between them.
This can be regarded as poking Xu Yong's sore spot, and Xu Yong began to be silent again.
ps: Baidu's plot will end in one or two chapters at most.,I'll go back to Pingchuan right away.,The capital is not easy to mix.,Go home and pretend to be forced.。
