Chapter 180: The Best of Both Worlds?

Zhao Zejun can take the initiative to go to the capital and visit Baidu's headquarters in person, which is tantamount to releasing a signal of sincerity and goodwill to Baidu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Therefore, the standard of Baidu's reception is very high, which completely exceeds the treatment that Zeyue's company should have in Baidu, and sent a car to the airport to greet him, and Mr. Li took several high-level executives to receive the gate in person, which is a feedback to Zhao Zejun's sincerity.

Both sides have shown good faith and set the stage for the next negotiations.

"Mr. Li, I was invited to come, and I am very sincere. After Zhao Zejun took a seat, after a few polite words, he asked straight to the point: "I just don't know what Baidu wants to talk to me about this time?"

"Now that everyone is sincere, I'll just say it. It's still about sticking to it. Mr. Li Zhengse said: "Baidu hopes to buy your post bar." ”

Zhao Zejun looked at Sun Hong, the senior brother who was also present, nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Sun has already talked to me last time, and the price is 10 million." ”

The eyes of the office fell on Sun Hong along with Zhao Zejun.

On this occasion, Sun Hong is just a middle-level cadre to accompany him, if it weren't for the fact that he was in direct contact with Zhao Zejun last time, he wouldn't even be qualified to attend the meeting, seeing that everyone was looking at him, Sun Hong hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Last time was last time, this time is this time, Mr. Zhao, this time our Mr. Li and several big bosses are here, what do you think, you can say it directly." ”

"Mr. Zhao, Baidu has a sticker, Zeyue has a sticker, and now even Tencent has intervened, I think the sticker market seems to be too crowded. Baidu Mr. Li spoke first.

"I feel the same way. Zhao Zejun said.

Mr. Li took over and continued: "My idea is the same as last time, Baidu acquires Zeyue Tieba. Mr. Zhao, although you are very young and the outside world has different opinions on you, I personally believe that you have a deep understanding of the Internet industry, web2 and Tieba projects. It should be known that the paste bar is in the hands of Baidu, so that it can be used to the fullest. ”

"You're right. Zhao Zejun smiled and changed his words: "But, the ass determines the head, from my point of view, it is not important whether the paste bar can make the best use of things, give full play to the maximum effect, and grow into a pioneer project of web2.0." ”

"Huh?" Mr. Li was slightly stunned, and the others in Baidu were also confused, what do you mean?

Zhao Zejun explained in the puzzled eyes around him: "The charm of the Internet lies in the infinity, only the unexpected, there is nothing that can't be done, even if there is no sticker, there will be countless excellent projects, so no matter what scale the sticker itself can develop, it is just a wave in the Internet." What I value more is,What can the post bar bring to me,If it can only bring the future to Baidu,Then I'd rather rest on my laurels and guard the one acre and three points of land in Zeyue post bar。 ”

Mr. Li understood what Zhao Zejun meant, and he still wanted to sell it at a high price, nodded and said: "Of course, we have to talk about it, and the price is of course different from last time." ”

"The price, it's been different for a long time, I'll tell you the truth, Tencent's Mr. Ma gave the valuation of Tieba is 15 million. ”

"15 million?"

Baidu initially valued Tieba at 10 million, which is already a premium, and Tencent's valuation should be 50% higher before the official cooperation between the two sides, Tencent Mr. Ma is so optimistic about this project?

Zhao Zejun explained: "At that time, it seemed that the price was premium, but well, my player and a few songs were given to Tencent, and they were millions anyway." As for now...... Zhao Zejun raised his head slightly and said: "Zeyue and Tencent have cooperated, time has passed, and the value of the post bar has exceeded this number." ”

"Okay, don't talk about the beginning, just look at the present. Mr. Zhao, if you are willing to sell, open a price. After speaking, Mr. Li immediately added: "But Baidu's shares are absolutely not good, and we can talk about money." ”

"I made a price of 10 million dollars. Zhao Zejun said unhurriedly.

"Mr. Zhao ......," Mr. Li smiled and said, "Do you think it is possible to buy a post for $10 million? Baidu's information is public, and you should know that Baidu's first two rounds of financing only raised more than $10 million in total, but it paid more than 50 percent of its shares! Baidu's total annual income last year was less than 60 million yuan. ”

"But as far as I know, Baidu's annual revenue this year should exceed 100 million. Zhao Zejun interrupted Mr. Li.

Mr. Li's eyebrows jumped quickly, Baidu's revenue this year is indeed more than 100 million, but this is an internal estimate, and it was only announced at the middle and high-level meetings, how did Zhao Zejun know it clearly?

"And I firmly believe that in a few years, Baidu will definitely be able to go public, when the time comes, 10 million US dollars, 100 million yuan, for Baidu, I dare not say a dime, but it is definitely no longer a big money. Zhao Zejun said.

"Are you so optimistic about Baidu?" Mr. Li was even more surprised, even he himself did not dare to say that he was 100% confident like Zhao Zejun.

This is the advantage of the traverser, in the future of Baidu, Zhao Zejun does not need any psychological struggle and judgment.

"Then I made a bet, I bet that Baidu has a future, and I am willing to lose. Zhao Zejun said lightly.

"Thank you for your trust in Baidu. Mr. Li nodded and said, "But Baidu's future is the future, and the current situation is that it is impossible to buy a post for 10 million US dollars, not to mention Baidu, it is impossible for any company." ”

"What if I don't need Baidu to pay?" Zhao Zejun asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I just said that I bet on Baidu's future, that is, it is a bet, then there is a bet, and the post bar is my bet on Baidu. Zhao Zejun's voice sounded clearly in the conference room: "I am willing to use the post bar in exchange for Baidu's shares, in addition to shares, there are some other things, but shares, is the most important." ”

"Mr. Zhao, I have already said just now, it is impossible for the shares to ......"

"Mr. Li, you listen to me first. Zhao Zejun interrupted Mr. Li in turn and said unhurriedly: "The reason why Baidu refuses to give me shares is nothing more than two reasons: Baidu has given up too many shares, and the next financing, what is needed is not money, but an influential company that can help Baidu go public. ”

"Yes. Mr. Li admitted.

"But what if I have a way to solve these two problems?" Zhao Zejun asked.

"Well, I'll listen. Mr. Li asked with a smile. If you want shares, how can you have the best of both worlds?
