Chapter 39: You Have No Other Choice
After successively getting NetEase and Sohu, the interest of several people present was raised by Zhao Zejun, and they really wanted to know what method Zhao Zejun used to deal with Sina?
Not only the two bystanders of Baidu Tencent, but even Ding Lei and Zhang Chaoyang are interested. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's not easy to get Sina.
It's not easy for two reasons.
First, Sina's main business is web portals, unlike NetEase and Sohu, which have their own business development biases.
In other words, Sina doesn't have any information that is specifically needed other than the portal's resources.
And it is obviously not enough to simply give resources to the portal. All three of them can share this resource, but the other two get what they desperately need, and Sina also has to be compensated;
Second, Sina's personnel is a big issue, and the power struggle at the top is fierce.
NetEase and Sohu, although they also have a board of directors, but Ding Lei and Zhang Chaoyang are the soul of the company, but in a word, their will represents the company's will, and Zhao Zejun as long as he grasps their own minds, it is equivalent to mastering the needs of these two companies.
Even if Ding Lei's current identity is the chief architect of NetEase, it still can't change his status as the leader of NetEase.
Unlike Sina, the internal power struggle is too fierce, there are many factions, and Cao Guowei, the chairman, cannot represent the company's will, and even if Cao Guowei can be convinced, he may not be able to obey the entire Sina board of directors.
Therefore, Cao Guowei is not so famous compared to Ding Lei and Zhang Chaoyang.
It can be considered that Sina is the most difficult one.
Moreover, there is still a lot of historical grievances between Sina and Zelianke, and Sina Blog has always been pressed by Blog China to the point that it can't hold its head up.
Zhao Zejun's voice continued to sound: "Mr. Cao, Sina, do you have anything you want?"
Hearing this, several other people secretly thought, sure enough, Zhao Zejun couldn't get the pulse of Sina.
It's hard to talk about, will Cao Guowei ask for a sky-high price?
Zhao Zejun seemed to be able to see through their thoughts, followed by a smile, and added: "Mr. Cao, to be able to achieve your position today in Sina, I think you should be a very pragmatic person, and you will not come to ask for such a price." ”
Cao Guowei also laughed: "Indeed. But I know better that there must be enough benefits for the company. Mr. Zhao, I want to hear what you, Mr. Ma, and Mr. Li are willing to give Sina. ”
Cao Guowei kicked the ball back to Zhao Zejun.
Yes, to be able to come to this day in Sina, where the struggle is fierce, Cao Guowei is by no means a Meng Lang person, but his solidity is not comparable to ordinary people.
Just like practicing martial arts, some people are geniuses and can become masters overnight, while others rely on diligence and sweat, step by step, one move and one style to temper the latter, the latter is more stable and firm, although they lack the spirit of adventure, but it is almost impossible to make mistakes.
"Mr. Cao, I mean, in addition to the data information of the portal, in addition, I will subsidize Sina another 60 million yuan. Zhao Zejun said.
"Huh?" Cao Guowei frowned slightly, puzzled by what Zhao Zejun meant.
The others were also confused.
Subsidized with money, this doesn't seem to be very attractive, right?
60 million is not a small amount of money, and Sina's net profit last year was less than 400 million.
The money is not small, but it is a one-shot deal, and it is not available every year.
The most important thing is that the purpose of this data center negotiation is not to make money immediately.
It's a lot of money, but it's 'meaningless' money.
Cao Guowei did not immediately express his position, muttering: "In other words, the two sides are discounted, and Sina does not need a threshold fee to join the data center." ”
Repeating the other person's words is not a question, but giving yourself time to think about the real purpose of the other person's statement. Cao Guowei didn't understand Zhao Zejun's true intention in putting forward this condition.
"Mr. Cao, you misunderstood. Zhao Zejun shook his head and said, "What I'm saying is that I will subsidize Sina another 60 million, not the data center subsidy." In other words, the 60 million is I, Zhao Zejun, or Zelianke, gave you Sina, and Sina promised to give money to the data center. ”
The audience was even more stunned.
Especially Baidu Tencent, the two looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
When Zhao Zejun said the 60 million before, Mr. Ma and Mr. Li were already very surprised, because Zhao Zejun had not asked for their opinions in advance, and at this time, he suddenly unilaterally said that he would give 60 million, which made them very passive.
But now Zhao Zejun said that the 60 million is all from him, which is even more puzzling.
What the hell is he going to do?
Ding Lei, who looked very sunny and cheerful, rolled his eyelids, as if he was vaguely aware of something, and looked at Zhao Zejun with a little more indescribable taste in his eyes.
Cao Guowei smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Zhao, I don't understand much, can you explain it in detail?"
Zhao Zejun nodded: "After Sina joins, I will compensate 60 million for sharing the information of the portal." But the 60 million was not given for nothing, but the acquisition of Sina's blog business. That's it. ”
"What?!" Cao Guowei's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhao Zejun incredulously, like he was looking at a madman.
The expressions of the other people were almost the same, completely incomprehensible, staring at Zhao Zejun in surprise.
Zhao Zejun has a good brain, a shrewd business, and can often create some miracles, which everyone knows.
So, to say that he is crazy, is unlikely.
But was he joking?
This is equivalent to saying that Sina joined the data center, and what it got was not only NetEase and Sohu, but only information on the portal, and moreover, it had to sell Sina Blog to Zelianke at an ultra-low price of 60 million.
No, it's not for sale, it's half for sale and half giveaway!
From Zhao Zejun's point of view, it's just a clear robbery!
Only Ding Lei secretly gave Zhao Zejun a thumbs up in his heart.
Zhao Zejun's words confirmed his conjecture that flashed in the moment just now.
The young Mr. Zhao in front of him, the Spider-Man of the Internet, and the head of the Zezi system, is really not in vain. Ding Lei even admired him a little.
"Mr. Zhao......" Cao Guowei didn't even know what to say, at first he was surprised, followed by anger, and after an instant, he became speechless.
He smiled, organized the wording, and said: "Mr. Zhao, we should all be relatively young entrepreneurs, we can sit together and talk about this matter, I think everyone is also sincere, I hope to work together to create a better future for the Internet industry." However, your joke doesn't seem to be very good. ”
His words also represent the words of most people present, entrepreneurs at this level have their own pride, they can negotiate, they can compete, and they can even point their noses and scold their mothers, but they should not play tricks on others.
"Oh, how can you think I'm joking?" Zhao Zejun asked unhurriedly.
Cao Guowei's face was straight: "Yes, Sina Blog is not as good as Blog China, it has been suppressed, in any aspect, there is a big gap, and it is not even Sina's core business." However, as the second largest blog in China, the value of Sina Blog is definitely far more than 60 million. Mr. Zhao, I dare to ask, Sina is willing to pay twice, no, five times the price, 300 million to buy your blog China, can you sell it? If you are willing to sell, I can make a decision now, Sina buys it!"
Cao Guowei was a little angry, and when he said the next sentence, his voice raised slightly, and his face was almost flat, and it was not too much to say that he was 'questioning' Zhao Zejun.
"Of course I don't sell it, don't say 300 million, I won't sell 600 million either. Zhao Zejun replied as a matter of course.
"Then why do you say that 60 million yuan to buy Sina blogs? No matter how big the gap is, the gap between our two blogs will not be tenfold, right?" Cao Guowei said.
"Well, it makes sense, 60 million is a little less. In this way, 100 million, no more. Zhao Zejun said.
"Mr. Zhao, does this make sense?" Cao Guowei sneered, "If you really want to buy Sina Blog, it's not that you can't talk about it, you can bargain, but at least you have to talk about it on the basis of a sincere price." ”
"Mr. Cao, I have opened to 100 million, which is already very sincere, this is based on the price on the basis of our possible cooperation in the data center in the future and our alliance in the future. ”
Zhao Zejun raised his hand slightly, interrupted Cao Guowei's next words, and said seriously: "If you and Sina disagree, what will happen next, have you thought about it?"
As he spoke, his eyes turned and a smile swept over the faces of Ding Lei and Zhang Chaoyang.
Seeing Zhao Zejun looking at these two people with a smile, several people present, including Cao Guowei, including Baidu and Tencent, and even Zhang Chaoyang, suddenly understood seven or eight points.
This...... Unexpectedly, no one expected that Zhao Zejun would suddenly conjure up such an amazing, even devastating chip in his hand!
Cao Guowei's face changed, and his brows suddenly tightened.
Zhao Zejun spoke unhurriedly: "Mr. Cao, it seems that you have also thought of it." Just now you said that the portal is Sina's main business and core business. And the two people sitting next to you are Sina's biggest competitors. If they join the data center and cooperate with Baidu, Zelianke, and Tencent, only Sina will rest on its laurels and stay out of the matter?
Zhao Zejun asked and answered himself, and said word by word: "In the area of big data, NetEase and Sohu will instantly surpass Sina for half an era, and will always maintain a leading position after that; Mr. Cao, please believe that no Internet company in China can withstand such great pressure, and in less than three years, Sina's blog will become worthless, and in five years at most, Sina will definitely not be able to stand in the ranks of the 'three major portals'. I think this is not only something you don't want to see, but the entire Sina board, no one wants to see it. ”
"This ......" Cao Guowei frowned, his expression was very solemn.
"Mr. Cao, blog, after all, is only a section of Sina, and not all board members support this section. Why let a burden drag down the development of the whole Sina?"
This sentence is like the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
"Sina doesn't want money, it wants equity after the merger. Cao Guowei said.
"Yes. Zhao Zejun smiled faintly, "After the merger, Sina will account for 10% of the equity of New Blog China. ”
