Seeing these three people for the first time, Lin Yu's reaction was a little surprised, and when he thought that this middle-aged man could speak Chinese, just after a moment, the woman in red next to him said with a smile: "This is our manager, full name Will. Hibner, a native of Washington. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hello, Lin Yu."

Lin Yu also nodded, said his name, and signed up for each other for the first time, which was a sign of respect for each other.

"Mr. Lin, I really didn't expect you to look so young, I thought you were an uncle about my age on the phone, it's really unexpected, too young." After the Hebner finished speaking, the woman in red translated with a smile, "By the way, Mr. Lin, we have booked food inside, can we go and eat together?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Lin Yu didn't think about it, and then nodded with a smile: "It's an honor, then let's go?" ”

"Well, right ahead."

Moments later, the four of them walked into the five-star hotel.

It didn't take long for the four of them to sit in a chic room, and the waiter took the initiative to hand the menu to the Washington man who was sitting closest to the door, Hibner, who smiled, nodded and said a word of thanks in English, and then handed it over with a smile, and the waiter looked at Lin Yu with a different face, and then at the three foreigners, wondering about Lin Yu's identity.

"Mr. Lin, you can order first."

The woman in red quickly translated and handed over the menu.

Lin Yu was not pretentious, he took the menu directly, but he was thinking about something in his heart, before he heard the voice of a woman proficient in Chinese on the phone, it is estimated that the woman in red in front of him is likely to be the woman who talked to him on the phone, should be the translator of this line, right?

After all, foreigners who can speak Chinese, unless they learn Chinese from an early age, are really difficult to learn Chinese, the most difficult language in the world.

"Alright."

After ordering a few dishes, Lin Yu handed it over with a smile.

The waiter bent over, took the menu and walked out, and it didn't take long for the dishes to be served by the waiter with northern characteristics, looking at the table full of dishes, the middle-aged man Hibner looked at Lin Yu with a smile, tried to pick up the chopsticks next to the table, clicked awkwardly, looked funny, and said with a smile after a few uses: "I have long heard that the way of eating in Huaxia is a little unique, but I didn't expect it to be quite unique." ”

Lin Yu also smiled: "Actually, it's not unique, our way of eating here is quite convenient, don't you think?" ”

"Oh? Why? ”

Hiberner was stunned.

"Look......" Lin Yu pointed to the chopsticks in his hand, "You can use forks and knives over there, you can use them with both hands, and we only need a pair of chopsticks is enough, and when the other hand can be stolen out to play with the mobile phone, isn't it a lot more convenient?" ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Lin, you talk so funny, it seems that I should try to learn how to use chopsticks when I go back!"

Hibner is full of interest with chopsticks, in Lin Yu's eyes, but how funny and funny it is, but this aspect also clearly reveals the sincerity of Hibner's line, and it also left a pretty good impression on Lin Yu, after all, the other party is a super big company, and he can show enough sincerity to him, which also deepens Lin Yu's impression a lot, but if he wants to ask the price of the domain name later, he will naturally not show mercy, he has a foresight and knows very well that the price of this domain name is 'several' million dollars, For a top-level domain name, it is sold to tens of millions of dollars, if it is a ruthless profit, then it can only be said to reflect his value, just like 306 must replace "" with "360", the domain name is the face of a company or company, naturally it needs to be short and easy to remember, this is the image of a company, sloppy.

"Come, let's eat."

While Lin Yu was pondering in his heart, the Hibner on the other side had already eaten with great interest, and Lin Yu didn't say anything, obviously he had done his homework in this area before coming here.

Soon, when Lin Yu was full, the woman in red opposite translated with a smile: "Mr. Lin, do you want to order more?" ”

Lin Yu shook his head and couldn't help but say, "I really don't need to, my stomach can't fill anything now." At this, he shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile.

When the translator returned, Hibner on the other side smiled and said, "In that case, let's talk about domain names, what do you think?" ”

Lin Yu, who had thought of this for a long time, naturally had nothing to say, the person on the other side did a perfect job, at least Lin Yu didn't find anything unreasonable, so he picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's okay, then let's talk about it." ”

"Mr. Lin, before that, we would like to ask you a personal thing, that is, when did you hold this domain name?"

"At that time in 2002."

Lin Yu nodded, but in the end...... This shouldn't be a personal issue, right?

After all, the registration date and renewal date of the domain name can be seen on any website, otherwise they would not be able to find the email address to contact Lin Yu.

"Oh, it's been four years, and it's been so fast." Hibner sighed, "If I'm right, Mr. Lin seems to have been a high school student five years ago?" ”

"It's high school, it's a senior year of high school."

Lin Yu smiled.

"It's really enviable that Mr. Lin can register such a top-level domain name after dying at such a young age, but Mr. Lin must also have a certain understanding of our company, right?" Hibner looked at Lin Yu opposite, and the woman in red next to him quickly translated when he spoke, and the communication between them was not too troublesome.

"Of course, the famous Amazon, how could I not know? To be honest, I've had the experience of shopping on Amazon. Lin Yu smiled.

He naturally told the truth, at that time, he used the supplementary card that his father Lin Yuanshan gave him, although the amount was only 3,000 yuan, but as a college student, especially for college students at this time in the past few years, it can be regarded as a very generous amount, unless it is a very important thing, under normal circumstances, Lin Yu will not spend the money inside, it can be regarded as an e-commerce website that Lin Yu has been shopping for before Taobao came out, but its sales share in the back have been squeezed out by the sudden emergence of Taobao, The ones left behind are generally used to shopping on Amazon, of course, after that, Lin Yu also turned to Taobao and never used it to buy things again.

"Really? Then I really want to be honored to bring you excellent service in our online shop. After hearing Lin Yu's words, Hibner's eyes lit up, and he quickly smiled, "I just don't know if Mr. Lin has any intention of making a move on your domain name?" ”

The main drama is coming......

Lin Yu's heart moved, and then he said calmly: "Actually, when I registered this top-level domain name, I really didn't know that I could register it, after all, at that time in 02, it had already passed the golden time of domain name investment, in fact, I tried to register it, but I didn't expect it to be really done, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a great luck......" When she said this, the woman in red opposite was stunned, but translated with a wry smile, yes, it is indeed great luck, Who knew that no one held such a top-level domain name yet, and the person who registered it first allowed it to pass the date, if it was on her, it would be the most regrettable thing in the world.

At that time, they can succeed at will, and at this time, they have to pay for the opportunities they missed, there are many websites that have also taken this road, it can be said that at that time in the eighties and nineties, although investing in domain names is not a big gamble, but it is also a project that consumes quite a lot of money, after all, in addition to those one-letter or one-number top-level domain names, the domain names in the hands of domain name investors, ten hundred is not much, and thousands of people are also there, so count, A domain name needs to be renewed for a year from a few dollars to dozens of dollars, which adds up to tens of thousands of dollars, which is also a small expense, the problem is that if someone buys it, it is good to say, if no one buys it, it may only be held in the hand, let it deduct the fee once a year, but look at the mail in the mailbox, there has been no mail for several years.

Although the domain name boom created a lot of rich people at that time, but it also made a lot of people bleed, after all, after the top-level domain name is gone, everyone invests in domain names to see luck, who is lucky, a domain name sold thousands of dollars, or hundreds of thousands of dollars, one step with hundreds of thousands of dollars, such a way to get rich, what you pay, is just an annual and dollar renewal, compared to the lottery that makes people feel ethereal, the reliability of the domain name is still much higher than the lottery.

After hearing this, the three people on the other side looked at each other the same, and they all showed a wry smile.

After discussing in a low voice for a while, Hibner on the other side quickly said: "Mr. Lin, the domain name in your hand is a top-level domain name, it naturally has its value, our company preliminarily plans to invest $200,000 to buy the domain name in your hand, if you think it is unreasonable, we can continue to negotiate." After speaking, he looked at Lin Yu with a smile on his face, 200,000 US dollars, if it is calculated as RMB, it is already more than 1.3 million yuan, a newly graduated student, facing more than 1.3 million, will definitely be surprised, right?

It's just that next, Lin Yu's reaction quickly surprised the other side, because Lin Yu's expression was so calm, so calm that they suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts......

"I'm really sorry, even though I only invested in a domain name when I was in high school, I also know that this kind of top-level domain is worth more than just $200,000, so let's say, let's say, Tencent, you know?"

Lin Yu paused.

"Which Tencent?"

The woman in red was stunned for a moment.

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and then continued to prompt: "QQ." ”

"Oh oh oh, I know, the well-known chat software in Huaxia is comparable to MSN's software, right?"

The woman in red smiled and said to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu nodded, and then said: "Their company didn't have a good domain name at that time, and when it came to the back, I bought a domain name from a foreign seller, and that domain name seems to be inferior to the top-level domain name in my hand, his domain name is 'QQ', and the 'z' in my hand Presumably, maybe it's good or bad, you also know very well, right?" ”

"This ......"

The woman in red paused for a moment and looked at Hibner.

"That domain name was sold for a high price of 20 million yuan, which is 3 million US dollars when converted into US dollars. You want to buy him for $200,000? Lin Yu smiled and looked at the three people opposite.

"Then may I ask Mr. Lin, what is your bottom line?"

The woman in red took a deep breath, it is estimated that she also thinks that Lin Yu in front of her is not easy to fool, in fact, they don't want to buy it for 200,000 US dollars, they are naturally happy to buy it, and it doesn't matter if they can't buy it, just add the price, but Lin Yu gave such an example, and also limited the price to three million dollars, if it is less than three million dollars, wouldn't it mean that the domain name they have on Amazon, Will the value be less than that of a local company that creates instant messaging software?

Lin Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't know that this domain name would be liked by you, originally I planned to use this domain name as our company's main domain name, after all, our company doesn't have a domain name that it says." ”

Under one sentence, the woman in red on the opposite side was stunned, their company?

Could it be that this kid set up a company at a young age?

And most importantly, he's not going to sell the domain anymore?!

Seeing the hesitation in the eyes of several people opposite, Lin Yu continued: "But the company has been short of money recently, so there's no need to waste such a domain name, so let's ...... Seven million dollars, how? ”

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and tried to name a price.

Although this sentence is completely from him, even if it is lower than the real price of the transaction before rebirth, I am afraid it is not much lower, seven million US dollars, a full 50 million yuan, is already a place that Lin Yu is very satisfied with, as for whether the price before rebirth is higher than this price, Lin Yu does not care too much.

"What? Seven million dollars? How can it be! When the woman in red on the opposite side heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, and she had an incredible expression, "I'm sorry Mr. Lin, your asking price is too high, you know, the 'QQ' you mentioned earlier is only three million US dollars, and you have more than doubled the price in the blink of an eye, which is really unacceptable." ”

When the middle-aged man on the opposite side heard this, Hibner frowned and said a few words, obviously the price was already very high.

"I'm really sorry, our manager said that the asking price is too high, Mr. Lin, we can't talk about it at all, really."

The woman in red on the opposite side widened her eyes, and when Lin Yu saw this, she quickly stood up.

"You ......"

When the woman in red wanted to say something, Lin Yu had already walked outside, and the three people in the seat were stunned for a moment.

What the heck? (To be continued.) )
