Among the more than 20 graduate students, Zhang Ning figured out one thing. Because the NASDAQ Internet stocks in the United States continue to fall, Yanda does not want to invest too much in Internet technology. Although the relevant departments of Yanda did not say that they would stop Chi Mingyu's search engine project. But without financial support, the project had to be forced to run aground.

For this reason, after entertaining these graduate students, Zhang Ning hurriedly ran to Yan University and found Chi Mingyu.

"Professor Chi, what are you going to do on this side of the laboratory?"

"What can I do, let's study it slowly."

Ji Mingyu sighed, looking quite depressed.

"Dig it down?"

Zhang Ning shook his head, "Scientific research is not something else, without the support of funds, research cannot have any effect." ”

Seeing that Chi Ming was thoughtful, Zhang Ning continued, "Professor Chi, I don't know if Yan Da is willing to sell your research room. ”

"Transfer?"

For a while, Chi Mingyu didn't understand what Zhang Ning meant, but suddenly remembered the software that Zhang Ning wrote before, "You mean, sell it to you Penguin Technology?" ”

Ji Mingyu was a little excited.

With Penguin Technology's technology, their search engine project may grow by leaps and bounds.

And, to be honest, Ji Mingyu also admires Zhang Ning.

"Yes."

Zhang Ning nodded heavily.

There's nothing wrong with that.

How could Zhang Ning give up the search engine?

In the past, there was no team, but now, with this team, Zhang Ning definitely wants to fight for it.

"There's no problem on my side, but ......"

"But what?"

"I'm afraid the school side won't agree."

"I don't think so, Professor Chi, it's better to do this, can you help me talk to the leader of this project."

Since Yanda has stopped the R&D funds for search engines, it has been proved that they are not optimistic about this area. Although, they don't necessarily want to sell this one research lab, perhaps, they will wait for the recovery of the Internet in the future, and they will enter it. However, Zhang Ning believes that as long as he can afford a certain price, then there is no possibility that he cannot be acquired.

If it was before, Zhang Ning didn't dare to say such a thing.

However, when a plant vs. zombie sold millions of sets, Zhang Ning had already straightened his waist.

In the afternoon of the same day, under the arrangement of Chi Mingyu, Zhang Ning met with Guo Jingshen, the person in charge of the project.

"You are Zhang Ning?"

Looking at the young man about 20 years old in front of him, Guo Jingshen's face was full of surprise.

"The founder of Penguin Technology?"

"Or are you a freshman at Yan University?"

After a few words, Guo Jingshen sighed from time to time.

"Yes, Director Guo, I'm a first-year student at Yan University, but I'm sorry, I've been busy lately and haven't been in class for a few days."

"Haha, it's nothing, although we at Yan University focus on education, there are students who can become self-reliant, and we are also very supportive. Besides, if you are a good person, staying in school is not necessarily beneficial to you. ”

Guo Jingshen is still relatively open-minded, and Zhang Ning agrees from time to time.

"Professor Chi has already told me your intentions just now, and I have always been very optimistic about your Penguin Technology. However, the acquisition of our Yanda Research Laboratory mentioned by you is not impossible. But you probably know that. The technologies studied by the Yanda Laboratory are the top technical ...... in China."

"This, Director Guo, you can make a price."

Interrupting Guo Jingshen to continue, Zhang Ning said directly.

"You kid, is there such a directness?"

Guo Jingshen couldn't cry or laugh. However, Guo Jingshen did not make a bid, but asked rhetorically, "How much are you Penguin Technology willing to pay?" ”

"Well...... this"

Zhang Ning also did not answer, "Where is the buyer who bids first, of course, the seller marks the price, and the product is sold." ”

Naturally, Zhang Ning was reluctant to reveal his bottom line.

However, Zhang Ning was reluctant to reveal that Guo Jingshen was not a stupid person, so he spoke directly and threw out a price of 1 billion.

"1 billion?"

Zhang Ningdao took a breath, this guy really dares to say it.

Unexpectedly, Guo Jingshen, who looks like a teacher, is a good negotiator.

Although he also knows that this research room cannot be worth 1 billion, he will throw a sky-high price first, and then slowly bargain with you when the time comes.

However, Guo Jingshen has the means, and Zhang Ning is not a good person.

"Director Guo, your price is too high, the market value of a listed company is estimated to be less than 1 billion. Besides, I seem to have heard that the school has only invested about 10 million yuan in the research laboratory, so I will give 10 million yuan to take over from the school and reduce the burden on the school. ”

1 billion turned into 10 million, Guo Jingshen couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Rao had seen a counteroffer, and he had never seen such a counteroffer.

"Zhang Ning, you're wrong. On the surface, the school only invested 10 million research funds in the research laboratory, but you did not count the investment in the shadows. For example, some research equipment is used by the laboratory for free, of course, the most important thing is the investment of scientific research forces, if you don't need talents, I am willing to sell less to you. However, if you want the whole of it, then, although 1 billion is more, 500 million is still worth it. ”

Although Guo Jingshen is in the education industry, he has been dealing with outside investors and has developed a level of negotiation.

However, 500 million is still a lot for Zhang Ning.

Although he thinks that if such a search engine works successfully in the future, it will be worth 500 million, not to mention 5 billion.

But at this time, at that time, Zhang Ning spoke again, "Although some of the scientific research products are popular in later generations, most of the scientific research products, even if they invest hundreds of millions of yuan in research, are useless in the end. 500 million is enough to buy two mature search engines, not to mention, this research room in the school is still only in research. ”

Zhang Ning's reason is reasonable, Guo Jingshen has no choice but to reduce the price, "2. 500 million. ”

For 2, though. 500 million, Zhang Ning still felt that it was too high, and said again, "I have already said it just now." Only a mature search engine can reach such a price, although the search engine studied by the laboratory is not bad, but he is not mature after all. Moreover, now that the Internet is at such a low ebb, it is not certain whether there will be a market for such a search engine in the future, who is willing to invest hundreds of millions of yuan as soon as it comes up. Professor Guo, do you know how much money was used to develop the QQ of Penguin Technology at that time? ”

"How much?"

"5,000 pieces."

This is Zhang Ning's money to buy a computer.

"This, this ......"

Guo Ying burst into tears, although he felt that Zhang Ning's comparison of small software instant messaging with a huge search engine was too unreliable, but thinking that if he objected, Zhang Ning would say. Now their instant messaging obviously has more development potential than search engines, so the price has been reduced again, "100 million." ”

It's just that Zhang Ning was born a stingy guy.

Although he has a lot of money now, it is not a matter to take out 100 million, but he can save a little bit, and continued.

bargained with Guo Jingshen, and in the end, Zhang Ning bought the Yanda Search Engine Research Laboratory at a price of 70 million.
