On January 8, Su Wen received good news from Wang Dawei that the acquisition of Foxmail had been basically negotiated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With a total price of 22 million RMB, you can acquire Foxmail, an old email client, as a whole!

In his office, Su Wen finished reading the acquisition proposal handed to him by Wang Dawei

It only took three days to solve the problem that gave Su Wen a headache, Su Wen was a little curious about how Wang Dawei did it, and asked.

"How did you do that?"

Wang Dawei sat opposite Su Wen, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, and said slowly.

"On the first day, I went to collect the business situation of Boda Company in the last year, and then found that this Boda Company has always been in a state of loss. The next day, I went to collect seven or eight companies in China that also made email clients. On the third day, I took the collected information and went directly to meet with the chairman of Boda Company. ”

"Two two million yuan, I'm sure no one can offer a higher price than WeChat. If they dare to refuse my offer, I'll go to these seven or eight companies that also do email clients. In the end, the chairman of Boda Company only resisted a little and accepted my offer. ”

After listening to Wang Dawei, Su Wen also realized that when he bought Foxmail, he really forgot to do the preliminary work first, and blindly made an offer in a hurry.

The overwhelming reports of the media, at this time, there are very few people who don't know that Weixin has financed a huge amount of money, and Boda Company received an offer from Weixin at this time, if they don't know how to rip off the bamboo, then the person in charge of their company is a fool.

Su Wen knew that he was reckless, if the acquisition of Foxmail was handed over to Wang Dawei at the beginning, maybe the final price would be much less than now.

But now that the mistake has been made, Su Wen, as the helmsman of WeChat, will definitely not take the initiative to admit the mistake, but just hummed indifferently.

Wang Dawei took a sip of the coffee in front of him and continued. "There is no resistance to the acquisition of Foxmail, but Zhang Xiaolong, the person in charge of the email client Foxmail, said that he wanted to meet you, but I don't know what you mean. ”

Wang Dawei is well versed in the way of the workplace, so naturally he will not be stupid to point out the mistakes made by Su Wen, he will only show his ability to him.

Zhang Xiaolong wants to see himself?

For the only seven-star product manager in China, Su Wen naturally wants to include him in the territory of WeChat, Dao. "Let him see me on WeChat tomorrow. ”

Although he values Zhang Xiaolong's ability, he is really not qualified to let himself meet at present.

Successfully negotiated Foxmail, Su Wen also recognized Wang Dawei's ability in negotiation and instructed him. "After the Foxmail acquisition, you continue to do one thing for me, qq.com this domain name and see if I can get it at a low price. ”

Wang Dawei nodded in understanding, and said at the same time. "Okay, now I'm done with the Foxmail acquisition, and I'm going to inquire about this domain. ”

......

The day after Su Wen and Wang Dawei finished talking, Zhang Xiaolong went to Weixin to see Su Wen.

Foxmail is Zhang Xiaolong's brainchild, and every piece of code is written by him himself, and he is like a child in his heart.

In less than 2000, Zhang Xiaolong reached 4 million users of Foxmail, but there was no business model.

In the early years, like Zhang Xiaolong, Ding Sanshi, who was an email worker, had already earned the company's development funds by reselling the free mail system.

It's not that Zhang Xiaolong doesn't know how to be flexible, but in his heart, feelings and users are more important than making money!

It was with this kind of thinking that Foxmail finally couldn't survive, and was bought by Boda 12 million.

It's just that Foxmail was bought by Boda, and it was less than a year ago, and now it has been sold to Weixin.

's own children are sold back and forth, which is naturally very uncomfortable for Zhang Xiaolong.

When Su Wen saw Zhang Xiaolong for the first time, he had the impression that he had a withered expression, without any vitality on his face, just past the age of standing, but like a middle-aged man in his forties.

After taking Zhang Xiaolong to the conference room, sitting down with him, and letting people have coffee, Su Wen did not take the initiative to ask Zhang Xiaolong why he wanted to see him, but waited for him to speak.

Zhang Xiaolong looked at Su Wen, who was sitting opposite him, and knew in his heart that Foxmail's future fate was in the hands of this young man who was only nineteen years old.

For Weixi, Zhang Xiaolong, an Internet practitioner and also in Jiangzhou, naturally understands it clearly, knowing that Weixin has just raised a huge amount of money, and it is the time to show his strength, but he didn't expect Foxmail to become the acquisition target of Weixi.

Zhang Xiaolong's personality has the woodenness of a programmer, and asked. "Mr. Su, I came to see you this time just to ask what the purpose of Weixin buying the email client Foxmail was. ”

Su Wen did not hide it. "The purchase of Foxmail, for WeChat, is more out of future strategic considerations. Many of the opponents of Weixin have their own email clients, and we don't have them at the moment, so I thought about buying one, and Foxmail is the most famous, and I often use Foxmail, so I want to buy it. ”

Zhang Xiaolong nodded secretly when he heard this, and he didn't know how to sell it, so he directly asked the reason for his trip and the question he cared about the most. "After Weixin buys Foxmail, will it commercialize it?"

Su Wen smiled, it was really direct, but Su Wen didn't go around in circles, and told Zhang Xiaolong what he thought about Foxmail in his heart. "My definition of Foxmail is that it is an email client, something that is convenient for netizens to use, and there is no business model. ”

Zhang Xiaolong's expression was slightly shocked, and he couldn't hold back his excitement in his heart and asked. "That means you won't be charged and adsed anymore?"

Su Wen assured. "You can rest assured that Weixin will never do such a thing as collecting money from users, and as for advertising, let's be honest, Foxmail's client is too small to be conducive to advertising, so I don't plan to do it. ”

After receiving Su Wen's promise, Zhang Xiaolong, who was originally shriveled and depressed, smiled, got up and held Su Wen's hand. "On behalf of the majority of Foxmail users, I would like to thank Mr. Su. ”

The hand was suddenly held, and when he heard Zhang Xiaolong's words in his ear, Su Wen couldn't help but smile on his face, this is really a user-first paranoia, who doesn't care about anything, only cares about his own users!

However, from another point of view, it is precisely because of such people that we can make the phenomenal product of WeChat in the future!
