Chapter Ninety-One: Unhappy Breakup

Chapter 91

"Director Wang, please be seated."

Hou Shida's appearance of the old god at this time made Wang Menglong a little surprised. A young man who has just emerged in the entrepreneurship competition, shouldn't he be full of ambition and triumphant at this time, why is he a little quiet and indifferent.

On the other hand, Wang Menglong, as the CTO of Qiandu Company, is more or less impetuous. Mu Changuang, the CEO of Qiandu, has now given a death order, whether he can maintain Qiandu's position in the domestic search market under the pressure of Sister Gu, Liu'er Software's Chinese intelligent technology is crucial.

It is said that Wang Menglong is a thousand-degree CTO, and everywhere he goes, his eyes are gathered. He had yet to meet a senior or a small business owner who had just started his business with such an attitude towards him.

Let's say it's disrespectful, it's not, Hou Shida's performance is not rude. But no matter how much attention is taken to it, there is no such performance. By the way, in Hou Shida's body, Wang Menglong saw a kind of equality and self-confidence, and even a touch of pride.

This feeling has not been seen by Wang Menglong in a young man like Hou Shida for a long time, which makes him a little worried about whether the purpose of this visit can be achieved.

"The results of the entrepreneurship competition have come out, don't you want to know your results?"

In business, Wang Menglong knew that if he wanted to achieve his goal, he first had to knock out the arrogance of Hou Shida. And he happened to have a piece of news at hand, which he could use to make the young man see himself clearly.

"Probably didn't make it to the top three, right?" Hou Shida smiled slightly, but he didn't care.

"It's not bad, but it's a pity, fourth place."

Although Hou Shida is a little disdainful of the rewards of the entrepreneurship competition, in fact, this event is still very attractive. Almost compared with a series of conditions such as preferential policies for large investment and foreign investment, ultra-low-price supported office space, three-year tax incentives, etc., for ordinary entrepreneurs, at least two or three million yuan can be discounted. For a few high-quality projects in the entrepreneurship competition, tax incentives alone may save tens of millions of dollars.

Such conditions are enough for many people with various relationships to use some off-board moves. And for the Liuer Company, which has no upper-level relationship, the fourth place is also enough to be proud of itself, and it is somewhat an explanation to the school. It's just that the various generous rewards of the competition, that is, don't think about it. At most, there is a cheap office space in a remote area of the imperial capital, which can only be regarded as chicken ribs for the Six Ears Company.

Such a result has long been expected by Hou Shida, although the imperial capital account is good, it is not so easy to get. If private enterprises can get it so easily, what advantage do state-owned enterprises have in the competition for talent?

I'm lucky to get it, but I'm sorry to lose my life, that's all.

"Director Wang shouldn't have come here specifically to tell me the news, right?" Hou Shida was breezy and light, but it made Wang Menglong feel like he was punching the air.

I really didn't expect that Hou Shida would be so deep in the city at such a young age. Wang Menglong thought about it, since this is the case, then simply use the power to suppress people.

"I'll just get straight to the point." Wang Menglong looked into Hou Shida's eyes and said happily: "Qiandu wants to acquire Liuer Software Company, what does Mr. Hou think?" ”

If you change a company or a new business boss, you can get a thousand degrees of acquisition intentions, then you don't need to ask at all, you must be offering it with a smile in your heart.

As one of China's top Internet companies, Wang Menglong does have such self-confidence. The acquisition of Qiandu is almost an honor for entrepreneurs, and no one can refuse.

"No problem, I just don't know how much Qiandu is going to buy Liuer Company?"

Hou Shida actually agreed, which made Wang Menglong somewhat relieved. He stretched out a hand and said solemnly: "Fifty million, Qiandu is willing to pay fifty million acquisition funds to President Hou for Liuer Company." After the acquisition, Liuer Company joined Qiandu as a whole and became the input method project team under the Qiandu Technology Department. ”

"Less." Hou Shida shook his head and said without thinking: "Fifty million, Qiandu is not sincere." ”

"50 million is not sincere enough?" Wang Menglong said with a smile: "Mr. Hou's appetite is not small, the only thing that the six-ear company can get hold of is a six-ear input method, even if you expect it to be calculated in the entrepreneurship competition, the installed capacity can really reach 35 million, and the traffic realization of this number also requires each user to achieve hundreds of effective clicks, right?" ”

At this time, it was still 2006, and although Internet companies knew the fact that traffic was king, traffic was really not very valuable. Nowadays, the effective click of ordinary website advertising does not even reach the price of 1 point per click. If it's a spam click that rushes traffic, someone does it for every 100 clicks for 1 cent.

Wang Menglong is right, if you really want to achieve 50 million revenues, then in the most optimistic promotion situation, each user will have to contribute 100 visits to achieve it. In fact, people with a little common sense in the industry know that non-core software functions like this cannot reach 100% usage, and most likely not even exceed 20% to 30%.

"In two years, Liuer Company can achieve this goal by itself. If Director Wang really thinks that the six-ear input method is only worth this price, then we don't need to talk about it. ”

Wang Menglong was silent, Hou Shida's old god was a little beyond his expectations. There is no such euphoria at being acquired by a large company, nor is there the disappointment and frustration of anger at an under-quoted offer. Hou Shida's attitude seems to be not talking about the six-ear company, not the six-ear input method, but now Wang Menglong wants to buy an apple in his hand.

"Okay, then I'd like to hear Mr. Hou's opinion." Wang Menglong decided to retreat and simply let Hou Shida bid.

"150 million, not including the source code. As for the Six Ears Company, I won't sell it. ”

"It can't be!"

Wang Menglong almost jumped up as if he had been stepped on by his tail, and the price had tripled, even if the price had tripled, Qiandu couldn't afford to pay this money. But it doesn't contain the source code, so why did Qiandu acquire Liu'er Company?

Is it true that Qiandu has taken a fancy to the traffic brought by the six-ear input method, or has it taken a fancy to the profitability of the project itself? Qiandu now occupies 65% of the domestic search market,If you fancy traffic,Spend a sum of money to set it as the default setting for six-ear input method search。 And the bidding ranking of the profitability of the thousand degrees will only be higher, and the gross profit of the six-ear input method may not be as good as the net profit of the thousand degrees in a month.

From the perspective of the current business status of the entire Qiandu, there is not much more, and there is no less. In this case, why is Qiandu so eager to take Six Ears Software into his arms?

The reason is simple, because the Chinese processing technology used by the six-ear input method is crucial to Qiandu's Chinese search business.

If the intelligent judgment technology of the six-ear input method can be applied to the search technology of 1000 degrees, it will definitely greatly increase the accuracy of the search results. So there are only two things that Qiandu really wants to get.,One is Hou Shida himself.,The other is the source code of the six-ear input method.。

150 million does not contain the source code, this price code is indeed too high for Wang Menglong.

"That would be a pity, we can only hope that we will have the opportunity to work together again next time." Hou Shida served tea to the guests.

Wang Menglong gritted his teeth and said gloomily: "Mr. Hou, Qiandu is very sincere, but your attitude makes people feel that you are more like insulting Qiandu ......"

"I insult a thousand degrees?" Hou Shida suddenly laughed, waved his hand and said, "Who is insulting whom, I think time will tell." Maybe Director Wang thinks that the six-ear input method is not worth the price, but I can tell you for sure that the price of traffic will increase at least tenfold in less than two years. Within two years, the market value of Liuer Company will increase to at least 300 million yuan. ”

"Hehe, you don't know how difficult it is to make money in this world." Wang Menglong shook his head, looked at Hou Shida with a very childish gaze, and said, "Since Mr. Hou is so optimistic about the future of Liuer Company, then let's wait and see." Young people go too smoothly, which is not a good thing for life. ”

"Director Wang walks slowly, I won't send it." Hou Shida picked up the tea and no longer looked at Wang Menglong.

Listening to Wang Menglong's footsteps gradually moving away, Hou Shida couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and Qiandu's arrogance seemed to have been revealed from this time.

Perhaps Qiandu has seen the application of intelligent technology in search technology, but it has not seen the impact that intelligent technology will bring to the online advertising industry in the future. At this stage, the reason why the traffic of online advertising is not valuable, in addition to the reason that the promotion model is not popular and the user acceptance is not high, the bigger reason is that its directivity is not good.

At this stage, the best directivity of online advertising is Qiandu's own bidding ranking mechanism, which is just what keywords users search for, and what ads are displayed.

On the other hand, ordinary online advertisements on other websites are shown to all visitors indiscriminately, just like TV commercials. However, with intelligent technology, there is a data foundation for the establishment of advertising networks. Through user behavior analysis, advertisements on ordinary websites can also be accurately delivered. In this way, the original click-through rate of 1 in 1,000 or 1 in 10,000 will immediately increase to one percent or even lower. In this process, the value of traffic is increased tenfold because of precise delivery?

Maybe the six-ear input method itself is really not worth the price code of 150 million, but as a platform for user behavior analysis, its value is immeasurable! Qiandu thought that he had overestimated the importance of the six-ear input method technology enough, but he didn't know that they had done another thing of losing a watermelon and picking up sesame seeds.

Wang Menglong walked out of the door of the family building and turned his head to look into the dark and silent corridor behind him. In the entire dark corridor, only the warm light projected from the door of the Six Ears Software Company.

"I don't know how thick the sky is." Wang Menglong squinted his eyes for a moment, and strode into the darkness of the road ahead.
