Chapter Seventy-Seven: Baidu's Ambition
(I had something to do last night, so I didn't make three shifts, sorry.) It will be on the shelves on Friday the day after tomorrow, and I will break out at that time, and the outbreak depends on everyone's support, hey, I ask everyone to support the genuine version, which is my motivation for writing the book...... Thank you very much...... ๏ผ
Magic Energy Software can be said to be the most eye-catching emerging software company in the IT industry recently, and it is sought after by many capitals. But at the same time as the rise of magic energy software, whiteness has also gained huge benefits.
When the number of downloads of the magic voice assistant exceeded 7 million, the Baidu mobile phone download platform also gained more than 2 million new users.
When several Internet giants such as Pain Xun, Alibaba, and 360 have repeatedly bid for the acquisition of magic energy software, Baidu is firmly on Mount Tai, and has been watching from the sidelines and has not been in a hurry to make a move.
Wang Xiao was still guessing how long they would be able to hold out.
However, when he saw Mr. Bai Du Li in person again in the conference room, he knew that Bai Du couldn't hold his breath and wanted to decide the ending at one time.
"Hehe, Mr. Li, meet again......"
Wang Xiao and Li Yanhong shook hands, and then sat down.
Li Yanhong looked at Wang Xiao with a stern expression, and said directly to the point: "Mr. Wang, I just told Manager Li and your company what I mean. I want to continue to ask for the exclusive license of the magic voice assistant, and I will do my best to promote the magic voice assistant, and I have contacted the partners in the United States. โ
Using the U.S. market as a bargaining chip to negotiate?
The domestic market is still a long way from saturation.
Wang Xiao smiled, shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, I remember that I told you last time that this time the exclusive authorization for Baidu for one month is already an exception. We will never accept any form of exclusive license in the future, our products are for all users, so you don't need to talk about this anymore, but as long as the whiteness is interesting enough, we will always maintain a cooperative relationship with you. โ
Li Yanhong's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't mention the so-called whiteness ban he threatened Chen Jinwen and Zhang Qiang just now. Because he knew that this set would not work for Wang Xiao at all, Wang Xiao was a stronger person than him, and he would not be afraid of this method.
What's more, now the magic energy software is not blocked by Baidu, Baidu does not cooperate, and some other network giants are rushing to cooperate with magic energy software.
Moreover, he also knows that Wang Xiao is a top-notch talent with a new set of program algorithms, and he will definitely need this set of algorithms in the future, so he can't be offended.
"Then you can put forward a condition, and if I can agree, I can negotiate it."
Li Yanhong still didn't give up.
The potential of the magic voice assistant made him see a huge to unlimited business opportunity, and it can be said that this is a huge opportunity for whiteness.
Although the number of downloads of the magic voice assistant has exceeded seven million, insiders know that this is far from the limit. This is the exclusive authorization of the Baidu platform, which limits the proliferation of voice assistants, so it is far from the high explosion and peak period of this software.
Such an application software that everyone needs, an application software that can greatly improve the efficiency of life, once it bursts into potential, it is absolutely unimaginable to anyone.
How many Android phones are there in China?
At least more than 500 million, the user potential of the magic voice assistant can be said without hesitation is 500 million.
Whiteness's recent publicity for magic voice assistants has been declining, just to slow down the development of magic software as much as possible.
In the final analysis, Li Yanhong has not really given up on magic software, and still wants to get this company.
Wang Xiao's eyes were like torches, looking at Li Yanhong's look and eyes, he could almost think of the thoughts of this Baidu boss, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I just said that we do not accept any form of exclusive authorization, if Mr. Li still wants exclusive authorization, there is no need to say it." โ
Li Yanhong was helpless, the anger in her eyes flashed, stared at Wang Xiao and said, "What does Mr. Wang think of Baidu now?" โ
Wang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said praisefully: "It's very powerful, one of the three giants who master the entrance of the Internet search engine...... Unlimited potential for the future......"
Li Yanhong immediately asked: "Then how about I exchange 2% of the equity of whiteness for 51% of the equity of the magic energy software in your hand?" โ
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became oppressive.
Li Chengfeng, Zhang Xuewen, Chen Jinwen, Zhang Qiang, and several people from Baidu all looked at Li Yanhong in surprise, and were a little surprised by the generosity of this Baidu boss.
At present, the market value of Baidu in the United States is as high as more than $70 billion, and 2 percent of the equity is worth more than $1.4 billion, which is more than 8 billion yuan when converted into RMB.
Eight billion yuan to buy 51% of the shares of magic energy software in Wang Xiao's hands, the value of the entire company exceeded 16 billion, which can be said to be the highest price among all the companies currently bidding, and it is also a price that exceeds many people's psychological expectations.
Merely......
The eight billion is not cash, but Baidu's shares.
Although Wang Xiao can sell the two percent of Baidu's shares for cash, for Baidu, this is almost no loss to get a mobile phone software company with huge potential.
Two percent equity?
It's easy for them to hold a shareholder meeting and refinance to dilute their equity, which is a tried and tested trick by many high-capitalization giants to swallow up some low-value emerging companies at no cost.
"Hehe......"
Wang Xiao smiled, her face was very calm, she was not shocked by Li Yanhong's offer, and asked in a calm tone: "Mr. Li is so optimistic about my company?" โ
Li Yanhong nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, I am very optimistic, I want to make magic energy software a puzzle for the development of whiteness to the world." โ
The market potential of the magic voice assistant is not only in China, this is what many people see, and it is also one of the reasons why several major Internet giants want to get this software the most.
Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "However, Mr. Li, you don't know, I am more optimistic about my company." You may think that you exchanged two percent of the whiteness shares for fifty-one percent of me, and I earned it. But actually, I don't think so. I think the future value of my magic software is above your whiteness. Therefore, even if you exchange Baidu's shares with me at the same price now, I will not agree! โ
Everyone else in the room was shocked by Wang Xiao's confidence.
Will magic software surpass whiteness in the future?
Since the formation of the BAT Big Three, has any IT company surpassed the market value of the Big Three?
Apparently not.
Most people believe that this is Wang Xiao's reason for rejecting Li Yanhong.
Li Yanhong's brows furrowed, her eyes widened, and she asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Wang, is this a refusal?" โ
Wang Xiao nodded affirmatively: "Yes, unfortunately, Mr. Li, I don't have any idea of selling the company, and it is impossible for Baidu to continue the exclusive authorization." โ
Li Yanhong took a deep breath, suppressed the annoyance in her heart, and said lightly: "Okay, I hope we can still maintain cooperation." โ
"That's the best, we at Magic Software have always been very friendly to our partners."
Wang Xiao also dealt with it casually.
Li Yanhong stood up and shook hands with Wang Xiao before leaving, without the slightest stop, but nodded to Li Chengfeng, an old acquaintance, before leaving.
His second attempt to personally purchase the magic software failed again. He also truly understood that Wang Xiao had no idea of selling magic software at all, so it was impossible for anyone to get the magic energy software company from Wang Xiao.
Now the only thing that can get the most benefits from magic energy software is to increase the cooperation between the two sides, lay a good foundation for the foundation, and lay more foundations for future cooperation.
Whiteness still has more than half a month to eat alone, which is the advantage of whiteness.
Moreover, Li Yanhong has long had news that Wang Xiao wants to make her own mobile phone system, and she has received support from some people. Therefore, he didn't dare to make too much trouble with Wang Xiao at the moment, and when he went back, he had to give up some small actions on the magic energy voice assistant and restore the intensity of his full publicity.
As a combination of capital and policy, Baidu knows better what to do and when to do it in this country.
At that time, Baidu was able to drive Google out of China, which was a considerable advantage at the policy level, which can be directly said to be a policy victory. Since then, Baidu has been caught in many lawsuits, which is also a role in self-protection and a policy advantage.
Now that Wang Xiao has also received some policy support, he only has one choice to vigorously cooperate in the face of Wang Xiao, if there is a hostile situation, then the two sides are almost a situation of endless death.
This is what Li Yanhong does not want to see.
Harmony is the only way to make money.
Wang Xiao watched Li Yanhong leave, and then shook his head helplessly and said to a few people in the company: "It is estimated that the people from Xun and Ali will also come soon." โ
Li Chengfeng nodded in agreement.
After Baidu fails to negotiate this time, he will definitely resume his greatest efforts to promote the magic energy voice assistant again, and then the magic energy voice assistant will usher in a small outbreak again, so the capital market will definitely chase the magic energy software more frantically.
The other giants will definitely not be able to sit still.
"I don't want to do that, they come and entertain me, but don't promise anything. Today at noon, I have a treat, and all the employees of the company have a big dinner......"
Wang Xiao said a word of advice to Li Chengfeng and Zhang Xuewen, and then went out and shouted loudly to all the employees.
The energetic employees of the company naturally agreed. In such a promising company, and such a generous boss, they are very happy in their hearts.
"The boss is mighty."
"I'm going upstairs to eat a buffet ...... restaurant"
"Brother Chic is the best, I want to eat Western food......"
In the end, it was unanimously decided to go upstairs to eat Western food.
Wang Xiao pretended to be very painful, and said hello to Zhang Xuewen, asking him to wait to go to the western restaurant to set a location, and to book more, and order one for Li Yanyan and the people of their company, and then the two companies will get together again, and cooperate more in the future, after all, they are all the same boss.
Then, Wang Xiao went to Li Yanyan's company.
Li Yanyan's company is called Magic Bean Software Company, and the name is very funny, because she wants to be a little similar to Wang Xiao's company.
The address of the magic bean software company is downstairs from Wang Xiao, and it just opened today. For mobile phone users, please visit wรจnhttp://mnet
