The Qianbaiwei restaurant chain in Shencheng is well-known in Shencheng, and within five years, it has developed from a small restaurant like a balloon to a chain of seven branches, which is popular with those white-collar workers who have no time to cook.

The taste is good, the price is not high, the key is clean!

From the dining environment, the cutlery to the kitchen behind the clear glass, there are two words everywhere the customer sees - clean. Not only is it clean to the eye, but it is also clean to the mouth, and there is absolutely no gutter oil, dead pork and the like, which is a conscience shop that everyone has recognized in the past five years.

Seeing that Li Guohua is preparing to open an eighth branch, he is .......

The financial turmoil in Southeast Asia has finally spread to Shencheng, and a large number of Taiwanese, Hong Kong, and Korean-funded enterprises have closed down, and the customer flow in the store has plummeted. Now let alone opening the eighth branch, even these seven are struggling to operate.

This is not a big problem, it is nothing more than to hold on for a while, business will be good and bad, as long as it can stand up, there will always be a day when it will get better. However, the bad thing is that Li Guohua is stupid and bold, leaving no room for anything, and doing business is the same. Seeing that the business was good in the first two years, I was afraid that there would not be enough money, so in addition to investing the money I earned from my own family, I also borrowed money everywhere.

In the past, her eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law's foreign trade company had a good business and could support her funds at any time, but now the foreign trade company has been merged into the new company, and the money she earned has also been collected by her cousin, which can kill her. The rent of a shop in this place is not as good as that in my hometown, and a store of two or three hundred square meters dares to ask you for 70,000 or 80,000 a month!

What to do?

The woman in the mountains is horizontal, and the beautiful Li Guohua's face stinks: If you don't want money, you don't want to die, or do you take back the store?

In this world, I am really scared. The industrial zone is not as good as the commercial zone, and once the foreign-funded factories are closed, the business in the whole district is not good, and the business is difficult to do in the depression of the market, so the shopkeeper has to reduce the rent for her first, and then let her drag the rent, and then make up the payment when the business is good.

To say that Li Guohua is really a nervous person, her fiancé is so worried that she can't eat, and she even sells her house to support her, and she has a very fashionable hobby - surfing the Internet. Every day, no matter how busy she is, Li Guohua, who has sold her house to pay off her debts, and lives in her sister and brother-in-law's house, has to see what news is on the SOHU Internet, not because she cares about national affairs after graduating from junior high school, but only because her proudest brother is the vice chairman of SOHU.

She also taught her honest fiancé, 'What are you afraid of, Ming Han is very capable, it's a big deal when he is developed, we ask him to borrow money and start over!'

At about nine o'clock that night, Li Guohua, who had just returned from the branch inspection, saw that there was someone in the bathroom, so he turned on the computer that his eldest brother-in-law had saved by himself, skillfully dialed the Internet to find the Guangdong version of SOHU.com, and only opened the webpage after nearly two minutes, and suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, why are there so many advertisements? Qingya, this is our main store, right?"

Huang Guoqing, who came back about ten minutes early, wiped his hair and leaned over to take a look, there were more than 20 picture advertisements on both sides of the web page, and his 'Qianbaiwei' chain restaurant was also among them, and said curiously: "It should be, the order numbers are all ours." Eldest sister, you called Jiaming to help us advertise?"

How can an eldest sister with two children have time to surf the Internet?

"No, Ah Hao, you advertised in Mingya?"

"No, he asked for a photo of your store, so I sent him a 'Yi Mei'er'. Well, that's good, it's better than buying billboards to advertise, who doesn't surf the Internet among the current company employees?"

It's really better, at least when people order fast food, they don't have to remember the number or look for a business card, and just glance at the website of the Shencheng version on the computer. Li Guohua was very happy about her cousin's carefulness, but her eldest brother-in-law's next words made her very unhappy.

"Guohua, Jiaming returned the 1 million I borrowed from you, and I will transfer the account to you when the account is due. ”

Don't you think of yourself as a second sister anymore?

Li Guohua, who was unhappy, looked at the wall clock and immediately called his younger brother to talk about it. In the past, he had no money to open a store, and he was allowed to borrow the money from his eldest sister, but now he has no money, so he lends it to him, so he is in such a hurry to repay it? No matter how big his business is, it is not as big as his big business of tens of millions!

"Eldest sister, how many phone numbers are Ming's phone?"

"Oh, he got a new phone, the number is 139010xxxxx. ”

Li Guohua hurriedly saved the phone number into his mobile phone and immediately pulled it out, but the answer was the voice of the clerk who he often heard on the phone.

"Miss Li, Dong Li is negotiating, do you have any urgent matters?

The four of them looked at each other, it was so late, and they were still negotiating? Isn't Jiaming short of money, does he want to transfer the company?

"Talk to whom?"

As the only clerk in the company, Sun Yun, who often answers the phone for Li Jiaming, also helped the new director to call the boss's eldest brother-in-law a million dollars, of course, knowing that the person on the other side of the phone is one of the most important people in the boss, and quickly explained: "Miss Li, you misunderstood, Lenovo Group wants to cooperate with our company, and Chairman Li is negotiating with them." You can rest assured that our company's financial problem has been solved, and we can still make money without sticking money for a long time.

Uh-huh, okay, I'll ask him to call you back when he's done. ”

Hung up Li Jiaming's old black Siemens mobile phone, Sun Yun, who had been spinning for a day and a night, stuck out her tongue, turned around and entered the small conference room again. Li Dong is so powerful, 24 million can be borrowed if he says he can borrow it, no wonder he dares to open his mouth to the lion of Lenovo.

Sun Yun entered the small conference room lightly, made an OK gesture to Li Jiaming, and hurriedly took Zhong Chaocheng's laptop for a record, not even daring to come out.

"Chairman Chen, this condition is too harsh. The equivalent of 300 mainframes for the price of Magic 2200 servers, but only 12% of your company's shares, is simply blackmail!"

Even at the cost price, 300 units cost 180 million RMB, but only 12% of the shares, which is indeed too harsh, but Chen Dong, who knows that he must be compared, said disdainfully: "Can your servers be sold? As far as I know, your Wanquan 2200 alone has only produced 500 units, but there is a backlog of more than 100 units. This is still to support domestic products, the central ministries and commissions must use your servers, and now the ministries and commissions, provinces, and municipalities directly under the central government have purchased almost the same, can you still sell them?

Mr. Gu, we are here to help you digest unsalable products, and also provide you with the cost of continuing research and development, and the place for testing. ”

Chen Dong and Gu Zhenyun, who were in charge of the main talks on both sides, both knew the bottom line of their own side, and they could guess the general bottom line of the other party, but they did not know the specific bottom line. The negotiators were at loggerheads from time to time, and even Li Jiaming often went into battle shirtless to argue with reason, or wrote notes to remind Chen Dong, who was the main negotiator.

But everyone knows in their hearts that this is definitely a win-win cooperation, even if an agreement is reached at the highest price or the lowest counter-offer - the backlog of servers is a heavy financial burden for Lenovo; the construction of a national network is a foregone conclusion, for SOHU, even if the equipment of the company's headquarters is enough to use, but if you want to open a branch, you have to purchase a large number of servers. If you can eat those servers without spending cash, you can solve the most headache of the company's expansion, and you can turn around and fight with the American devils and force Yahoo people to make concessions.

Damn, it's all money, and it's tens of millions of RMB, who dares to give in easily?

An hour later, exhausted by the cockfighting, everyone went to their respective rooms to rest and discuss what to do tomorrow.

Sun Yun, who kept knocking on the laptop and her fingers were numb, and another little girl hurriedly made coffee and snacks for everyone, ready to discuss it after their respective bosses finished eating. is different from the little girl who was so tired that she secretly yawned, Sun Yun was tired but excited. The other party has retreated to a valuation of 60 million US dollars, and 20% of the employee shares are 12 million US dollars.

But it is difficult for people to negotiate, if you let your company lose millions of dollars more, if you fight for more points, your company will earn millions more, who doesn't want to make a little more?

Zhang Zhaoyang, who was on the other side of the ocean, was relaxed, chatting and farting with the people in Yahoo, preparing to wait for Li Jiaming and them to negotiate, and then open his mouth to these white lions. If the negotiation is successful, not only can it raise a large amount of money, but it can also take advantage of the potential of Yahoo to become a national star enterprise; if it can't be negotiated, it will work hard for another two years, anyway, the hardware that is urgently needed will be provided, and the operating costs of a single company can be earned back with advertising business.

But those professional managers can get an annual salary of 100,000 US dollars, and they are not vegetarians, and their business experience is even richer than Li Jiaming. As a large number of picture advertisements suddenly appeared on the SOHU website, and the phone numbers and addresses of each company on the advertisements could be found on the Huaguo Yellow Pages website, they were keenly aware that Zhang Zhaoyang was delaying time.

After some investigation and calculations, the leader Frank Grillo immediately went to Yang Zhiyuan, chairman and CEO.

"It's profitable!"

“hat?”

Frank, who was excited, hurriedly explained: "Jerry, we asked Chinese employees to call and ask, the price of SOHU's pictures is days, their current total image advertising volume is 176, and the estimated advertising fee is at least 2.816 million RMB/month, an increase of more than 180% over last month." ”

"mygod", Yang Zhiyuan, who was in his early thirties, exclaimed, and hurriedly looked at their assessments, and even called God. According to the current layout of SOHU, it is enough for them to arrange more than 300 image ads, not including the high-priced advertising space on the homepage and various main pages.

"Yes, at the current rate of development, by the end of this year, their annual advertising revenue will be at least above!

Jerry, sooner or later, China will abandon the backward network with cable as the backbone and build a high-speed network based on optical fiber transmission. At that point, image ads can turn into video ads, and the number of netizens will increase dramatically, leading to a skyrocketing price of advertising, and we expect them to earn more than $30 million in advertising in a year. ”

God, Yang Zhiyuan, who has always avoided Zhang Zhaoyang, has repeatedly called God, that Yanyuan mad Tai will become the world's first Internet company to achieve profitability, if this is discovered by the media, it will become the target of all venture capital funds!

"What's the quote for LES?"

"200 million. ”

This matter cannot be delayed any longer, let alone lost because of a small one, it is a market of 1.3 billion people, even if only 10% of the population is online, it will be the largest market in the world.

The resolute Yang Zhiyuan thought about it for a moment and immediately said: "Promise him immediately! We will pay 50 million yuan to buy 25% of their shares, and agree to give 20% of the shares to the employees." ”
