Chapter 103: The Great First Step

In mid-May, Ren Yong, who was forced to resign, published a post "What to Save You, CHINAREN" on the famous Chinese forum Tianya, which triggered a wave of discussions in major Internet forums. A large number of alumni users replied to accuse Slender Fox of being irresponsible to the majority of users, the server has been in a state of collapse for a long time, the link is often invalid, and it is difficult to log in.

Thin Fox did not make an effective response, and continued to let the alumni record fend for itself. In response to the large number of complaints against the alumni directory, the public relations department arrogantly said that because the alumni directory is operated free of charge, it is inevitable that there will be negligence in management and maintenance.

This remark caused an uproar on the Internet, and Ren Yong even initiated a proposal for netizens to crowdfund and repurchase the alumni record for the sake of feelings, and for a while, all major forums were watching the thin fox continue to make jokes, and even secretly added fuel to the fire.

This cola has damaged the life and death enemy of Slender Fox, Jiulang and Netnan, the two major portals continue to publish unscrupulously, accusing Slender Fox of the seven deadly sins, a few years ago known as the epic Internet merger and acquisition case, now only full of devastation.

THE INDUSTRY NEWS IS FULL OF ARTICLES ANALYZING THE ACQUISITION OF CHINAREN BY SLENDER FOX BACK THEN, WHICH CAN NOW PROVE TO BE A FAILED MERGER. "Skinny Fox and CHINAREN, the story that has to be told", "3000W, to follow or not to follow?", "A letter to Sohu and the majority of ChinaRen users (sacrifice to ChinaRen community closure)". A large number of advertorials have pushed the thin fox to the forefront.

After a period of fermentation, the arrogant Thin Fox of the stock market opened on Monday finally paid the price, and the stock plummeted by five points, losing tens of millions of yuan.

Zhang Chaoyang, president of Slender Fox, had to hold a press conference and issued a statement saying that he would properly handle the demands of the majority of users, and would also consider transferring the alumni directory that was not for sale to a capable company.

This time, Wan Gang of Thin Fox took the initiative to find Wang Dongliang and said that the price was five million, and the domain name and number jù would belong to him. Wang Dongliang refused without thinking about it, the alumni record at this moment is a hot potato for the thin fox, and it is the king to quickly deal with it and save the confidence of shareholders.

Wang Dongliang directly cut two million, and broke up with Wan Gang.

Wang Dongliang talked to Cheng Xiaoyu on the phone and explained the current situation in detail. Cheng Xiaoyu also felt that it was a little tricky, two million or even three million thin foxes did not necessarily look at it, what it needed now was to give an explanation to the majority of netizens and stockholders. If the alumni record is sold too cheaply, it is also a slap in the face of the thin fox himself.

But right now, Cheng Xiaoyu has more than 2 million yuan in his hand, and he can't get more money, even if all the money is used to buy alumni records, what about the follow-up work? Where is the financial support to follow up? He doesn't want to continue to ask his family for money.

Cheng Xiaoyu hung up the phone with a frown, racking her brains to think of any other solution. But the tragedy is that he has no experience in business, so he can only sit in front of the computer, look at the forum, and the unfavorable remarks on the website, thinking about what plan can satisfy the thin fox, and he doesn't have to pay too much.

Wang Dongliang is also thinking hard in the office, whether to choose financing, but at the moment they have no achievements at all, where will there be venture capitalists willing to come. Or convince the skinny fox to let them pay in installments.

It didn't take long for Wang Dongliang to call again and say, "Why don't you sign a gambling agreement with Slender Fox.com, so that you can use less money to get the alumni in the early stage, and pay when you have money in the later stage." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu carefully thought about Wang Dongliang's suggestion, and felt that this was risky and had many loopholes. Moreover, the premium paid has too much impact on the establishment of the whispering network in the early stage.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the homepage of Slender Fox.com, suddenly opened his mind, and said to Wang Dongliang, "Actually, we don't need to buy alumni records!"

Wang Dongliang was a little puzzled, "If you don't buy it, there is no cornerstone for the promotion of whispering, and the pace will be relatively slow, so that the establishment of our social networking site will not have an advantage!"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "We buy the alumni directory just for the huge number of users in it, as long as we temporarily have these numbers jù, or can temporarily link to the alumni directory, it is enough! We don't need to buy it! We can rent it!"

Wang Dongliang is also a very smart person, and he thought through at once, "Yes, we operate instead of Slender Fox, and the ownership is still Slender Fox, so that we can try to communicate with Slender Fox without a single point, and get the right to use the alumni directory, as long as the majority of alumni users are rooted in whispers within the agreed period, we have nothing to fear!" Wang Dongliang jumped up from his chair and felt as if the alumni directory was within reach.

"Yu Shao, you are so talented in business, I will draw up a plan now and pass it on to Wan Gang. This is really the best way to deal with the thin fox, without selling the alumni directory cheaply, and can give an explanation to the majority of users. Wang Dongliang couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and said loudly.

Cheng Xiaoyu was also excited in his heart, feeling that the door of victory had slowly opened towards him. In this way, he may be able to temporarily control the alumni record without giving him a penny, as long as he is given a year, the alumni record should be of little value, and it doesn't matter if he returns it to the thin fox at that time.

Wang Dongliang was full of confidence to plan the operation on behalf of the company, and Cheng Xiaoyu told Wang Dongliang to write with emotion, and write the background as a dreamer who loves the alumni directory and is willing to maintain the image of the alumni directory and pay silently, rather than for profit.

Wang Dongliang understood in seconds, and said that after writing it, he pulled Ren Yong to sign it together. Ren Yong was asked by him to post, of course, he also has a lot of resentment towards Thin Fox before he is willing, otherwise no one would want to offend such an Internet giant.

The next day, Wang Dongliang communicated with Wan Gang and asked if he could cooperate with him in the form of agency operation, and Wan Gang asked Wang Dongliang to send him a detailed cooperation plan, and he took it to Zhang Chaoyang to see. Wang Dongliang immediately sent an email to Wan Gang.

The next day, Wang Dongliang received Wan Gang's reply, agreeing in principle that the details must be discussed.

During the one-year operation period, Skinny Fox is not allowed to sell alumni records within one year, and if it is sold, it can only be handed over after one year.

During the year of the contract, the right to use and the right to benefit from the alumni directory are owned by Xiyu Company, and the maintenance and hosting of the corresponding server are undertaken by Xiyu Company. After one year, whether to continue to let Xiyu Company operate is negotiated by both parties.

Xiyu pays a fee of 20W per year for leasing the domain name to Skinny Fox.

It can be said that this agreement solves all the problems of Slender Fox about alumni records. There is no need to lose ownership or pay huge overheads.

This cooperation agreement can be said to be tailored to the current situation of Slender Fox, and almost all the interests of Slender Fox are satisfied.

Zhang Chao and Yang Tsai looked at this plan carefully, and his heart was full of doubts. It's not that he hasn't thought about the purpose of the Xiyu company on the other side, but he doesn't think that the other side can gain much benefit after thinking about it.

Alumni not to mention that there is no ability to make a profit at all, as a free website has an empty user base, but the activity is too low. No matter how capable the other party is, it is impossible to bring the alumni back to life. Even if it could, wouldn't it be a wedding dress for their skinny fox net?

Zhang Chaoyang couldn't figure out what the other party's intentions were, and this cooperation agreement was beneficial to Slender Fox.com, so he signed and agreed that Wan Gang and Wang Dongliang would discuss the details of the cooperation.

In the end, in order to avoid the negative impact on the Internet, Slender Fox exempted Xiyu Company from the annual domain name leasing fee of 20W, and recorded the entire alumni at a price of one yuan and handed it over to Xiyu Company to operate on behalf of Xiyu. Of course, all previous user complaints were handed over to Xiyu Company, and Xiyu Company must promise to solve most of the problems within one month.

After agreeing on all the details of the cooperation, Wang Dongliang and Wan Gang signed under the witness of the lawyers of both parties.

After that, Wan Gang of Slender Fox and Wang Dongliang of Xiyu Company attended the press conference and officially announced the cooperation between the two companies. Of course, the pig's feet are thin foxes, and most of the reporters' problems are in Wan Gang, and no one cares about Xiyu, an inconspicuous small company, only that this may be a second-class company with money and nowhere to spend, and invest funds in hens like alumni who can't lay eggs.

After signing the contract, Wang Dongliang was relieved, and finally their social networking site took the first crucial step.
