Zhang Chen's words made the three of them stunned for a moment, even Lu Xi never thought that Yahoo's request to meet was not for the Global Music Alliance, but for WeChat.

The three of them glanced at each other, and then looked at Zhang Chen's smiling expression, Lu Xi thought to himself that Yahoo was blowing the clarion call for the Asian development plan.

Lu Xi has the impression that Yahoo officially entered the domestic market this year, because domestic law prohibits any form of foreign capital from investing in domestic Internet content service providers (ICP), but can provide technical services, Yahoo has to take a curve to cooperate with Founder, Yahoo provides technical service support, and Founder is responsible for operation and sales.

Now Yahoo will enter Asia the first step in the plan to acquire WeChat, Lu Xi can foresee, if he agrees, Yahoo will use the company established in China with partners to acquire, and in the near future Weiwei will cease to exist, Weixin has nearly 4 million registered users, will also become Yahoo Instant users who have just been launched.

The main purpose of Yahoo's instant messaging software products is to bring more traffic to the portal, and the host of Yahoo's instant messaging project is Zhang Chen. Lu Xi has to admit that this is indeed a good move, once the Yahoo China website is launched, with the users of Weixin at this time, coupled with strong publicity and promotion, the traffic will soon exceed that of any domestic portal.

Thinking clearly about Yahoo's intentions, Lu Xi said with a smile: "Compared with the instant messaging business, I would rather sell the music download business, I don't know if Mr. Zhang is interested in music downloading, if so, we can find a time to continue talking." ”

Zhang Chen frowned, he thought that Lu Xi was joking, the global music alliance has been able to make a profit, the future development is far better than the prospect of instant messaging software, and there is no big problem in operating well to go public this year, after a slight silence, he said with a smile: "Mr. Lu is really joking." ”

Seeing that Zhang Chen misunderstood, he changed his expression to a serious expression, and said: "The future of e-commerce is a super big cake, far bigger than now, Yahoo from the music e-commerce cut-in, with the current influence will soon be bigger, and the future expansion of business can also follow a piece of the pie, I think Mr. Yang and Mr. Fei Luo will not let the e-commerce cake have no place of their own, right?" ”

Even if Zhang Chen's purpose is not the Global Music Alliance, Lu Xi has to sell as much as possible, it has been almost a month since he came to the United States, in addition to the successful negotiation with the five major record companies, Fan Chonghai helped Chen Danying contact the University of Washington in Seattle, their main purpose has not been achieved, and now the Global Music Alliance is a baked pie for some people, but it is a hot potato for Lu Xi, and he doesn't want to waste more energy and resources here, so he must get rid of it as soon as possible.

Zhang Chen was slightly stunned, and only then did he realize that the three people in front of him were engaged in music downloads because they wanted to make a handful of them and leave. He also knows that with the strength of Green Bamboo and Ant Moving, if he wants to promote the Global Music Alliance to the world and keep up with the pace of the five major record companies, it must go through several rounds of financing to be completed. However, now that the U.S. Internet stocks are all green, and other stocks are also rising, they have to let go at this time, and in his opinion, several people are short-sighted.

Lu Xi had no intention of selling the instant messaging business and just wanted to promote the Global Music Alliance, Zhang Chen didn't say anything about it, and chatted with a few people casually about the current situation and future development of the Internet at home and abroad, and when he sat down at three o'clock and was about to leave, he said: "If Mr. Lu still has the idea of selling the domestic instant messaging business this year, he can come to me again." ”

Sending Zhang Chen and the two away, Lu Xi, Wan Xingnian and Hong Xuedong also sat in the car, Wan Xingnian turned around and smiled helplessly, and said: "No one has contacted us recently, AOL has not heard since the first offer was rejected, are we thinking too beautifully?" ”

Hong Xuedong said with a smile: "I also think that we think too well, yesterday I went to the Golden Gate Bridge with this guy, and I made a bet with him, if the music download business can sell more than 100 million, I will jump off the Golden Gate Bridge." ”

Except for AOL, after the price was quoted on the day of successful negotiations, there was no company offer, Hong Xuedong gradually calmed down from the excitement, even if the Internet stocks are hot, he thinks that there is almost no possibility of selling at a sky-high price of three or four billion at this time.

"Brother Hong really wants to jump down from the Golden Gate Bridge if he loses, I won't stop you." Lu Xi said with a smile, "But you have to think about it, jump down from the bridge that is nearly seventy meters high, and in four or five seconds, you will rush to the sea at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, and the chance of surviving is very small, even if you sell 10 billion, you will not be blessed." ”

Wan Xingnian laughed and said: "The Golden Gate Bridge has always been a holy place for suicide, someone counted the number of people a few years ago, but since the fight exceeded 1,000 people, no one has counted them, those people are all frustrated, if Mr. Hong jumps, he should be the first to succeed, maybe he can go down in history." ”

Hong Xuedong grinned: "Although I also want to sell for a sky-high price, I still don't believe that I can sell more than 100 million, if I want to raise money, three or two percent of the shares may be exchanged for 30 million US dollars." ”

No longer joking with them, Lu Xi said: "Yahoo has already contacted us, and AOL and Amazon are not far away......

Hong Xuedong interrupted Lu Xi and smiled: "Otherwise, I will return to China first, you wait here, I still have business to do." ”

Lu Xi didn't answer him and said: "Yahoo took the initiative to contact us, it is intended to acquire the instant messaging business, in preparation for entering the domestic market, but this matter is only known to us and Yahoo, Lao Wan will find a reporter to break the news later, and say that Yahoo is interested in the global music alliance." ”

Wan Xingnian and Hong Xuedong stared at Lu Xi in a daze for a while, and then Hong Xuedong said with a smile: "You can use everything, aren't you afraid that Yahoo will come out to clarify?" ”

Lu Xi said with a smile: "Now we have to use everything we can use, Yahoo will not come out to clarify, as soon as the news comes out, the global music alliance is a high-quality asset, their stock price will definitely rise, if AOL and Amazon have ideas, they will definitely come to the door immediately when they hear the news, we will wait for the price negotiation to collect the money." ”

Wan Xingnian stretched out his thumb, Hong Xuedong smiled again: "The 8848 website of domestic Everest Technology was launched, and many news media of Internet company founders were invited to attend, and this guy also found a reporter to take the opportunity to promote the website of him, Yi Hongjie and Shu Jiankun, and their website was hyped up by the domestic news media before it was launched. ”

Lu Xi said with a smile: "I didn't let Nie Chenghui deliberately promote, Nie Chenghui just asked a few questions about how to compete under the premise that the market is not big, who knew that after he asked, other reporters would also talk about our Huilian, but no matter what, we are one step behind." ”

Wan Xingnian laughed again and said, "I'll contact you." ”

The three of them left from Union Square, Wan Xingnian went directly to find a friend in the San Francisco Chronicle, Lu Xi and the two returned to the hotel, Hong Xuedong opened the conversation box first and said: "Zhang Chen never thought that this meeting would be used by you." ”

"I'll be happy that he's being used by me." Lu Xi lazily lay down on the bed and replied, "We didn't harm Yahoo's interests, and we can also promote their stock price to rise, which is also a reasonable use, maybe the news is released, Yahoo will really make a gesture to quote it." ”

Hong Xuedong poured a glass of water, turned around and asked, "The domestic laws are there, can Yahoo enter the domestic market so easily?" ”

Lu Xi raised his head and said: "It has nothing to do with us whether we can get in or not, and you don't have to worry about Yahoo Instant Messaging can bring us a threat, Weixin now has more than three million users, and five million this year is not a problem, after we get the money, we have to burn a handful of money like nouveau riche, and do advertising in some second-tier cities." Besides, Yahoo enters China, will not take instant messaging software as the focus of development, the portal is, Yahoo Instant is just an incidental product, similar to the EC of Vantone Network, just a tool used to increase portal traffic, and when the time is ripe in the future, WeChat will enter the international market, Yahoo Instant and AOL's AIM and ICQ are the competitors we need to consider. ”

Seeing that Lu Xi didn't care about whether Yahoo could enter the domestic market, Hong Xuedong pulled a chair and sat down, and asked with a smile: "Learn from the nouveau riche to burn money, is it to learn from Yao Libin?" ”

Lu Xi said: "Learn from him what to do? This guy does everything with the purpose of speculation, and wants to make a quick profit, and the problems of Everest Technology in the future are likely to be on him. ”

Hong Xuedong said with a smile: "Eat a trench and grow wise, Xu Li can change in a short period of time, and Yao Libin is also possible." ”

After Sun Mingwei came to the door, Xu Li also officially joined Luzhu after May Day and served under Su Mei.

Lu Xi closed his eyes and didn't reply, and Hong Xuedong asked again: "He asked someone to do that last time, right?" ”

Lu Xi slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Hong Xuedong a few times, he didn't know how he saw it, he just smiled without answering.

Hong Xuedong continued: "After you were attacked, Mr. Yao did not show a strong desire to chase the murderer, and you often did not mention it, I don't know if others can see it, anyway, I guessed that it was him." He may have a second time if he has the first time, and now you are competing again, you still have to be careful, after we sell the music download business, you should be the only one among people of your age in China, and you should find a few bodyguards. ”

Lu Xi is not a person who regards suffering losses as a blessing, only because of Xiuqing's factors will not be investigated, seeing that Hong Xuedong has already seen through it, he said with a smile: "This matter is over, Brother Hong don't tell anyone else, and I will go back and talk about the bodyguard." ”
