Chapter 142: Preparing for Negotiations

The 365 website is not Zhang Chen's alone, and Jiao Kai can be said to have contributed to today's achievement, so the sale of the 365 website must be discussed with him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Chen asked Jiao Kai out, he didn't go around the corner, but directly told Jiao Kai that he wanted to sell the 365 website, and asked Jiao Kai's opinion.

Jiao Kai didn't answer immediately, Zhang Chen could see that he was hesitating in his heart, the 365 website was set up by him, and it must be false to say that he didn't care, if he happily agreed, Zhang Chen would feel very hypocritical.

After pondering for a moment, Jiao Kai finally said: "As long as you decide, I have no opinion, I believe in your choice." ”

Zhang Chen felt a little ashamed of Jiao Kai's trust, because his decision this time was completely from his own point of view, if in the long run, in fact, selling the 365 website now is definitely a wrong choice, but in order to achieve the goal, he has no other way.

Zhang Chen said: "The money from the sale of the 365 website will be divided according to the previous share ratio, of which 30% is yours. ”

Jiao Kai didn't think that the 365 website could sell for much money, so he didn't be polite to Zhang Chen, but asked, "Is there a buyer?" ”

Zhang Chen shook his head: "There is no buyer yet, but there will be soon, after you go back, remember to change the Baidu search on the homepage of the 365 website to Yahoo search." ”

"Change to Yahoo Search? Why? ”

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

After going back, Jiao Kai changed the search box on the 365 homepage to Yahoo search according to what Zhang Chen said, and on the third day after the change, Baidu's senior management panicked, because according to statistics, Baidu's clicks decreased by 15.3% the day before.

The problem was quickly found, and the reason for the sharp drop in Baidu search clicks turned out to be because the 365 website changed the search engine on the homepage, and Li Yanhong immediately convened a high-level emergency meeting to study how to solve this problem.

There were two voices at the meeting, one was to suggest finding the builder of the 365 website, and then communicating with it, trying to re-establish the cooperative relationship or directly acquire the 365 website.

The other is to recommend investing or acquiring the hao123 website, and then through a large amount of capital investment, the click ranking of the hao123 website exceeds that of the 365 website, becoming the leader of the new navigation website.

There is some truth in both suggestions, but it is not difficult to see from the collected information that the clicks of the 365 website are completely real and effective, while one-third of the clicks on the hao123 website are obtained by bundling rogue software, so the former has a higher gold content.

After intense discussion and thinking, Li Yanhong finally decided to send someone to contact the owner of the 365 website to see if he could directly acquire the website, and if it really didn't work, he would consider acquiring the hao123 website.

Early in the morning of the fourth day of changing the homepage search engine, Jiao Kai received a call from Baidu's senior management, hoping to make an appointment to talk.

Although the other party was in a hurry, Jiao Kai still made an appointment to meet three days later according to Zhang Chen's instructions, and then notified Zhang Chen.

The reason for this arrangement is because Zhang Chen decided to let Duan Zhaoxiang participate in this negotiation, although he thinks that he has grown a lot, he does not plan to use such an important business negotiation to train himself, and he can also learn things in the process of negotiation, and he does not necessarily have to do it himself.

When he learned that there was going to be a business negotiation of tens of millions of dollars, Duan Zhaoxiang, who was in Shanghai, also attached great importance to it, and he specially brought a professional negotiation team composed of three people to Changqiu City to discuss the details of the negotiation with Zhang Chen.

Duan Zhaoxiang collected a lot of information for analysis and research, and finally estimated that the purchase price of the 365 website should be about 10 million, but Zhang Chen thought that this price was a bit low, and proposed to let Duan Zhaoxiang take into account the possible listing of Baidu in the future, and the purchase price is not necessarily pure funds, but also Baidu's original shares.

Zhang Chen put forward these two points Duan Zhaoxiang really didn't take into account, which made him look at Zhang Chen with admiration, recalling the first time the two met, he still bought the e23 domain name in Zhang Chen's hands on behalf of the American company, that negotiation can be said to be pressing step by step, taking the advantage, but now if he faces Zhang Chen again, he is not fully sure that he can control the rhythm of the negotiation, and it is even likely to be taken by the other party to take the initiative, just over two years, Zhang Chen's growth rate is really advancing by leaps and bounds.

As one of the founders of the 365 website, Jiao Kai also participated in the preparation of this negotiation, and when he heard Duan Zhaoxiang say that the purchase price was about 10 million, he was really shocked, but Zhang Chen even thought that the price was too low, which had completely exceeded his expectations.

In fact, when Zhang Chen said that he wanted to sell the 365 website, Jiao Kai felt that it would sell for millions, so when Zhang Chen said that he would share 30%, he did not refuse.

However, now Jiao Kai is a little restless, although the 365 website is established by him, and he has also paid a certain amount of effort, but if it were not for Zhang Chen's guidance and the easy-to-remember domain name, the 365 website would not have achieved today's achievements, so Zhang Chen is the real hero of the 365 website, if he had known that the website could be sold for a price of more than 10 million, how could Jiao Kai dare to ask for this 30%.

But now it's too late to regret it, Jiao Kai can only secretly make up his mind that he must do his best to help Zhang Chen manage Journey Technology and let the company develop and grow, so that he can repay Zhang Chen's kindness to him.

Zhang Chen and Duan Zhaoxiang studied for a long time, and finally decided to set the sale price of the 365 website at 30 million plus Baidu's original shares, and the final bottom line price was 10 million plus more than 10,000 shares.

Duan Zhaoxiang was also amazed by Zhang Chen's boldness, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this price was actually not impossible, although this business negotiation was not the highest transaction amount he had ever experienced, but for some reason, he felt unprecedented excitement.

……

(From today, the two changes will be resumed, starting from this chapter, Zhang Chen also ushered in the first peak of his life, and the plot after that will no longer be as dull as before, and the big boss Zu Fenghai will gradually surface, please wait and see, thank you for your tolerance and understanding during this period of time!) )
