Chapter 271: Fun Fact
After Chen Haipeng left 360, he did not immediately go to the headquarters of Autohome, but returned to the hotel to prepare for a rest.
For this negotiation, Chen Haipeng and his team have done a lot of work. The preparatory work in the early stage consumed a lot of Chen Haipeng's energy.
And today's negotiation with 360, although it seems that the atmosphere is relaxed, but the dark tide is turbulent, so that Chen Haipeng is about to collapse.
Back at the hotel, Chen Haipeng did not rest immediately, but agreed with Autohome on the specific time for negotiations. After finalizing the time, Chen Haipeng returned to the room and fell asleep.
After formulating a strategy, Mu Qizhong let Chen Haipeng negotiate by himself, and he took Zong Wei and planned to go to Mentougou in the capital to see the old site of his company and the previous buildings.
Chen Haipeng slept until eight o'clock in the evening, and waited until he was really hungry before he got up and prepared to go to the restaurant to eat.
As soon as he walked out of the room, Chen Haipeng found Mu Qizhong sitting on the sofa in the living room.
This time, there were more people who came to the capital to participate in the negotiations, and Chen Haipeng opened several suites, basically several people lived in one room, one was safe, and there was anything to communicate in a timely manner.
Chen Haipeng himself used a suite with Mu Qi**, so that they could communicate in time if they had any ideas.
So when he saw Mu Qizhong in the living room, Chen Haipeng was not surprised at all.
"Lao Mou, when did you come back, how was your play today?" Chen Haipeng asked as he walked towards the bathroom at the door.
Chen Haipeng planned to wash his face and brush his teeth, although it was already night, Chen Haipeng felt that he was not in a good state after getting up, and planned to tidy up his image before going out.
"It's been a while since I've been back" Mu Qizhong picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned on the TV, and said without looking back: "It's nothing fun, I've seen it before"
At this time, Chen Haipeng had already entered the bathroom.
By the time Chen Haipeng packed up his appearance and reappeared in front of Mu Qizhong, he looked much better.
Chen Haipeng looked at Mu Qizhong and said with a smile: "Have you eaten, if not, go to the restaurant with me for a meal?"
"Wait a while for dinner," Mu Qizhong said, "How is the negotiation with Zhou Hongwei going today?"
As one of the persons in charge of going to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to acquire or invest in the Internet company, Mu Qizhong could not participate in the company's relevant negotiations from time to time due to physical reasons, and Chen Haipeng was following up on the negotiations many times.
As Wang Qiang's uncle, Mu Qizhong is also very relieved, and he has entrusted this negotiation to Chen Haipeng in the past few days.
However, in the spirit of being responsible for Wang Qiang, the Epoch Group, and himself, although sometimes, he could not participate in the negotiations, but Mu Qizhong would listen to the progress of the day's events every night.
"It's almost over, and we have to wait for others to think about it. When the other party thinks about it, we will be notified when the time comes" Chen Haipeng thought about the negotiation, Zhou Hongwei's reaction and said.
"We have to hurry up on this matter, you know, we have other things to do when we come to the capital," Mou Qizhong said.
Chen Haipeng and the others came to the capital this time, and it took almost a week to negotiate with 360 alone, which is already relatively fast.
In this way, it has seriously affected the negotiations between Epoch Ventures and the follow-up company. Although it is possible to negotiate at the same time, there are not so many members of the working group, and the simultaneous negotiation will affect the effectiveness of the negotiation.
"Thankfully, 360 has just been established, and the company is not

to 20 people, and 360 is also preparing to find a venture capital company, so that it can be contacted so quickly," Chen Haipeng said.
If you wait until 360 is listed, you will have to wait a week just to make an appointment to meet Zhou Hongwei. I will hurry up and communicate with Zhou Hongwei."
"That's good" Mu Qizhong heard that the negotiation was effective, and said with some joy: "Since there has been some progress here, just wait for a reply." So when is the negotiation with Autohome?"
"Three days later," Mr. Chen said.
"According to Wang Qiang, Autohome should be in dire need of funds now, how can they not be in a hurry when they hear that a venture capital company has contacted them?" asked Mou Qizhong with some confusion.
Mou Qiyuan thought that when Autohome heard that there were venture capitalists looking for them, they should immediately actively negotiate, but he didn't expect that his attitude was not so positive now.
"I don't know" Chen Haipeng shook his head and said hesitantly: "Something should have happened, right?"
"No matter what happens, we'll meet with them then," Mou Qizhong said.
After the exchange, Chen Haipeng could already hear the rumbling sound of his stomach.
"Let's go, let's go eat," Chen Haipeng said after putting on his coat and standing next to the coffee table.
"Let's go, I just have something to tell you" Mu Qizhong got up and walked out.
"What's the matter?" Chen Haipeng asked.
"When I went out today, I met an old friend," Mou Qizhong said: "This old friend of mine is the president of an investment company, the president of Softbank SAIF, Yan Yan"
"SoftBank SAIF?" Chen Haipeng asked.
"SoftBank SAIF is a well-known investment fund in Asia," said Mou Qizhong, "and Yan Yan used to work at the World Bank, and he is now the president and chief partner of SoftBank SAIF"
"I wonder what he talked to you about?" asked Chen Haipeng.
"Yan Yan told me an interesting thing, let's talk as we go" Mou Qizhong said: "He met an Internet company that wanted to raise money, and during the negotiation process, this company suggested that after SoftBank SAIF raised its own money, it would be better to buy another Internet company."
"Are these two Internet companies complementary in content?" asked Chen Haipeng curiously.
"No, they're the same type of company," Mou Qizhong said.
When Chen Haipeng heard this, he thought about it.
At this time, the two happened to walk to the restaurant, and Chen Haipeng ordered. While waiting for the food to be served, Chen Haipeng remembered what Mu Qizhong had just said.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Haipeng suddenly looked up at Mu Qizhong and said, "The Internet company that wants to raise funds feels that another Internet company is threatened, so it wants to acquire the other party. And after its financing, you still feel that you still can't fight each other?"
"Yes, it should be like this," Mou Qizhong said.
"And what are these two interconnected companies?" Chen Haipeng asked.
Although this time he came to the capital to acquire the Internet Company according to Wang Qiang's suggestion, Chen Haipeng would not let go when he encountered a project that he thought was suitable.
"This, Yan Yan didn't say" Mou Qizhong said: "These things belong to their trade secrets"
"Lao Mou, you arrange someone to investigate which Internet company Softbank SAIF is in contact with during this time" Chen Haipeng said: "I'll tell Wang Qiang about this situation, if the investigation has a result, let Wang Qiang judge it and see if we can get a piece of the pie?"
"That's what I mean, so I'll come back and talk to you," Mou Qizhong said.
