Chapter 215: Genesis (10) Negotiations

213、

Qi Na looked at Zheng Xiumin, the hat of the down jacket fit her cheeks, there was no heating or air conditioning in the hall, and the faint residual temperature from upstairs ensured that it would not be as cold as outside, but Qi Na still carefully took off his down jacket and covered Zheng Xiumin's body.

Look at her sleeping quietly like a baby, and her soft snoring is in her ears.

It's just that I don't know if her dreams are really that peaceful and sweet, maybe it's just relaxation after being extremely tired.

Yes, Zheng Xiumin is indeed too tired, in the company, he is in a state of high tension and alert all the time, and it seems that he will devote himself to the overwhelmed work in the next second. Just like a warrior, he is always meeting various challenges, and there is no moment of leisure.

This made Zheng Xiumin tired, not only that, but in recent months, her relationship with Qi Na has become delicate, and at yesterday's press conference, she publicly denied her relationship with Qi Na. This seemed to be a bit of a relief. But it's hard to say it's not a loss.

At this time, they are once again in deep trouble, no matter how much the previous emotional entanglement Qi Na is not only her partner, but also her dependence, and only in his arms can she unload her burden and rest without burden.

Qi Na moved her arm slightly, and Zheng Xiumin woke up in just one moment, and she immediately fell into the previous anxiety: "What's wrong?" As if remembering where he was, he asked, "Not yet."

She was silent before she finished speaking, and apparently in the empty hall of Nuoda, two security guards were napping in chairs around a heater.

Qi Na hugged her tightly: "It's okay, if there's something, I'll call you, you can sleep again." ”

Zheng Xiumin raised her head to look at Qi Na, reached out and touched his cheek, stubble pricked her hands, she pressed her cheek to Qi Na's chest, a strong heart was surging in motion. With the rhythm, she gradually fell asleep again.

Time passed minute by minute, Qi Na lost any emotion, leaned on the sofa, took a nap, he only felt regretful, if the vice president of Zhilu Dao Taozhen was so creditless, why sit here, go find a restaurant to eat early, sleep and come back again.

At six o'clock in the morning, the cleaning and security guards have begun to officially go to work, some night shift employees get off work, and the morning shift employees enter the building, the only thing they have in common is that they are all guessing who the down-and-out man and woman resting in the guest corner of the hall are.

They only guessed that it was a colleague's fellow countryman, or a colleague's family member, who temporarily transferred in the company hall in order to catch a plane or train, but they didn't expect that this man and woman were the founders of Life Online, which made them sleepless and restless day and night.

At half past six in the morning, the security phone in the front hall finally rang.

Qi Na and Zheng Xiumin followed the security guard into the elevator, until the top floor, and was greeted by another person outside the elevator, she claimed to be Mr. Niu's secretary, walking in front, thin high heels walking on the soft carpet, as if her feet were full of elasticity, and her whole body was jumping.

The aisle was full of heating, Zheng Xiumin took off her down jacket, she held Qi Na's hand tightly, a little shivering and cold, after all, the people here are the most powerful people in the domestic e-commerce industry.

Even if it is said to be within the scope of the world, it is also very important.

And they are the newcomers who have just started their business for a year. How does this not make Jung so-min nervous?

However, Qi Na comforted Zheng Xiumin in a whisper: Although he is a business leader, he will do whatever it takes to fight his competitors, and he is not a good person.

The secretary stretched out his hand to push open the office door, and a huge executive desk was placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, flanked by coffee tables, sofas, large bookcases and translucent aquariums against the walls, a few fish swimming, and a few green plants dotted in the corner of the office.

It was a sober and quiet office, with a thin, middle-aged man sitting in a Hermanmiller chair behind his desk. He wore a thick shirt and a horse clip, and the top of his head was bald.

He is Niu Wu, the vice president of Taozhen under one person and above 10,000 people on Taozhen.com.

Qi Na clearly heard Zheng Xiumin take a deep breath, it was a nervous emotion.

Facing Niu Wu of Taozhen.com, for himself and Zheng Xiumin, this is a war that can only be won and not lost.

The slender secretary stopped and said to Niu Wu: "Mr. Niu, they are here." ”

"Oh, Qi Na, Zheng Xiumin. It's been a long time, it's been a long time. Niu Wu bowed his hand across the table from afar: "Good morning, good morning." ”

He said it nicely, but where did you see a hint of politeness?

Qi Na nodded, maintaining his dignity, Niu Wu frowned slightly when he saw this.

And Zheng Xiumin was enthusiastic and greeted Niu Wu: "Mr. Niu, hello, hello, it is really a blessing for us to meet you." ”

The secretary invited them to sit opposite Niu Wu. At this time, Qi Na noticed that there was still a person sitting on the side of Niu Wu's desk, in his forties, lean, stout, with dark skin and short flat head, and a tired face.

Qi Na immediately thought of being a soldier.

Who is he? Qi Na was a little curious.

Niu Wu said: "The two of you have worked hard. ”

In the face of Qi Na and Zheng Xiumin, who were released by himself, whether it was hypocrisy, true feelings, or deliberate, or accidentally self-defeating, he just used a sentence of hard work. Where can you see his bearing as a business leader?

Qi Na didn't speak, he was thinking in his heart, and he had a plan for the worst.

Zheng Xiumin was full of admiration for Niu Wu, and said sincerely: "Mr. Niu, look at what you said, we are juniors in front of you, what's wrong with being taught a lesson by our seniors?" ”

Niu Wuha smiled: "Oops, oops, hehe, the little girl is really good at talking." He faced Zheng Xiumin, who was single, with the attitude of an elder coaxing a child, and his tone was extremely frivolous.

Qi Na was secretly unhappy, but at this time he had already decided, unless he had to do it, he would not speak out, and only let Zheng Xiumin negotiate.

Zheng Xiumin really didn't mind Niu Wu's ridicule, and said: "Mr. Niu, our life online website has a small station and small influence, and it is our blessing to be appreciated by you." It's too late for us to be grateful! "Of course, there is the worship of the idols of the predecessors, but more of it is a glimmer of life for the tens of thousands of small businesses living online. It also seeks space for the life of hard and persistent online.

Niu Wu lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Mr. Zheng, why should you be humble!" With SPE browser as the entrance support, and then the logistics construction of the Kirin Wings as the promotion, there is also a popular game in the hand to make cash cows, no Internet company has such a perfect layout as yours, which can be described as a great future. ”

Zheng Xiumin has long been immune to similar comments from the media, but he is still very proud to hear this statement from Niu Wu's mouth.

This kind of evaluation is summed up in the most common way, and it is liked to be quoted by the media, which is called the three-engine model.

thereinto

The market size of SPE browser is now second only to the IE family, ranking second in terms of market share, and chrome and firefox cannot match.

The influence in the domestic market is also becoming more and more obvious, including the search engine entrance, Google and Baidu, the two major search giants, to pay 20 million to 30 million per month to SPE browsers, but about 20% of this part of the income will be left to life online, not in the cooperation agreement between the two sides, just as a hand, get labor fees, but control the search engine entrance is still life online, so this influence can not be ignored.

In addition, the home page address navigation of SPE Browser can also receive more than 20 million per month, and the total income of these two parts will be 30 million.

It is worth mentioning that the hidden costs of life online links on SPE browser address navigation, banner ads, and favorites, if converted into expenses, may also cost tens of millions.

However, Niu Wu will definitely not envy the 40 million income per month, the Internet giants are more coveted by the huge traffic and stable entrance brought by the SPE browser, in addition, the diversity and richness of the SPE browser product line - PC and mobile phones, tablets and cross-platform use, of course, the intelligence of the SPE browser can not be ignored, these are the dreams of countless Internet bigwigs.

The traffic and entrance brought by the huge market share, the multi-version access of the cross-platform, and the scalability brought by the highly intelligent SPE engine make every change on the SPE browser very implicated, and even cause a lot of speculation and speculation by countless practitioners.

In other words, if SPE browser adds a Taozhen search on the search engine, Taozhen's search engine will inevitably rank among the top three in the search engine market share of the month, or even rank second.

This kind of anti-sky rocket booster ability is coveted by countless people, but it is controlled in the hands of the little-known life online.

The maintenance authority of the domestic SPE browser is here in the life online, and the domestic merchants offer the SPE company no matter what the conditions, the tone of Lao Mei is the same, looking for life online.

This kind of attitude has puzzled countless people.

The logistics construction of Kirin Wings mentioned by Niu Wu uses highly intelligent robotic arms, relying on the powerful database behind it and the ability to analyze and capture data, to provide logistics services for platform merchants and sellers.

Of course, what Life Online and Kirin Wings are doing is not a logistics company, but Taozhen has always wanted to do, but has not done it, or has not done a good job, that is, integrated logistics.

Niu Wu has always hoped to have a logistics network belonging to Taozhen, similar to JD's direct and self-built warehousing methods, which also made him red, but it was out of reach.

The Qilin Wings disclosure, as well as the recently displayed logistics, is not a simple logistics company, Qi Na's design will be a logistics platform, all express companies will use highly intelligent robot warehousing, distribution system, without spending huge sums of money to toss their own transit center, but also save a lot of labor costs.

As long as the express companies do a good job in operation and customer management, the rest will be done by Kirin Wings. This is like Taozhen's platform: the server and bandwidth are Taozhen's, and merchants only need to decorate their stores and serve customers well.

Niu Wu eyes red JD logistics, more jealous of life online, relying on the rapid industry change, change the previous Taozhen network kind of low evaluation of the logistics system, so that all the merchants operating in the life online can get the same logistics as JD self-operated, this kind of reform does not make customers, merchants excited?

With the outbreak of online life, SPE browser is the other wing, and this logistics platform is one wing.

If the SPE browser brings life online to the present tense, and the logistics platform of Kirin Wings is the future tense, then the Quarrying Legend game at this moment is the cornerstone of this time, and with the sufficient cash brought by the Quarrying Legend, all this will be possible.

There is no need to keep raising funds, dilute the founder's shares, disperse control, and pray for the favor of capital to be swayed by capital.

Zheng Xiumin and Qi Na can completely ignore the opinions of capital and just do their own thing.

The developments of these months speak for themselves. The small life online has an unstoppable explosive momentum.

Zheng Xiumin's heart was happy, but Qi Na's brain was numb, Niu Wu's smiling face made him more and more vigilant, and he didn't know what tricks he would play behind his smile.

Zheng Xiumin felt that the current atmosphere of the meeting was harmonious, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Niu, you are too good for us, we are a small company after all, there must be something wrong, for example, there is still some friction with Taozhen this time, we are very sorry, this time, I also sincerely apologize to you, I hope to do some communication, help the two sides to establish trust, in the future, I hope to learn more from each other, common development, but also hope to often listen to your teachings, move forward together." ”

Qi Na listened to Zheng Xiumin's words, and his heart was secretly tense, waiting for Niu Wu's answer.

In the spacious office, there was a brief silence, only the heavy wheezing sound of the middle-aged flat-headed man next to him seemed to be caused by nasal congestion or poor rest.

Niu Wu pondered for a long time and finally spoke: "Young man, the future is terrifying." ”

He let out this inexplicable sigh, Zheng Xiumin's heart was in his throat, and his smile instantly froze, what does Niu Wu mean?

She quickly continued calmly: "Mr. Niu, the merchants and sellers this time are all mom-and-pop shops, small and micro stores, it is not easy to operate, and the little money on the account is all the old money, you can see if you can give them some opportunities, and also give entrepreneurs like us a little chance." ”

She looked at Niu Wu as she spoke, observing her words and expressions, eagerly hoping to see some clues from Niu Wu's face.

But Niu Wu shook the swivel chair with tens of thousands of yuan under his buttocks, cast his eyes on the bookcase, and didn't seem to notice Zheng Xiumin's words.

Zheng Xiumin's heart gradually sank into the deepest depths, she was disturbed, but her eyes were not blinded, and at this time she had already guessed that Niu Wu was avoiding this topic.

At this time, Qi Na finally spoke: "Mr. Niu, you are a business leader, why do you want to talk to us in secret?!" ”

Niu Wu smiled and said, "Mr. Qi is still fast-talking." ”

He turned his gaze and smiled slightly at Qi and Zheng, so calm and full of kindness.

Niu Wu suddenly said: "You two have worked hard all the way here. Without waiting for them to react, he suddenly said: "Taozhen has Taozhen's rules, our rapid development for more than ten years, in addition to excellent market acumen, there is also a firm rule, that is, integrity, no one can break it, for this, we are uncompromising, I think this is the driving force for us to move forward." ”

"What do you mean?" Zheng Xiumin's heart tensed up all of a sudden, what he said was to wear a hat to the merchants who operated in two stores, what is integrity management? There are too many possibilities for fakes, consumer deception, price deception, etc., and each of them can be applied to the crime of illegal operation.

And the implication is that this strategy will not be changed, and it will be resolutely implemented. She didn't have to shudder! Isn't that just nothing to talk about?

"But the world has changed, and abiding by the rules and respecting the rules may not be something that must be happy." Niu Wu suddenly relaxed a little, leaned back in his chair, and retracted his eyes from Zheng Xiumin. It's a bit of a bad feeling.

Qi Na felt that he was about to show his hole cards, and Zheng Xiumin wanted to speak, but was stopped by Qi Na.

After another moment of silence, Niu Wu leaned forward and crossed his hands, put them on the executive table, shrugged his shoulders, and said to them: "What is the current valuation of Life Online?" ”

Zheng Xiumin was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he would ask this, but Qi Na understood it all now.

Sure enough, Niu Wu said: "According to your current income, the valuation is about 5 billion, which is a remarkable number, and we haven't heard that you have made an employee stock ownership plan, it is estimated that you are busy to death, and there is still time to take care of this." ”

Niu Wu teased for a moment, and then said: "Taozhen.com has an idea, and is willing to buy sixty percent of your shares for three billion, or wholly owned, five and five billion, of which 500 million will give you two additional rewards, and the remaining five billion, part of the stock and part of the cash." ”

This? Qi Na's judgment is that Niu Wu wants to use all his energy to kill Life Online, and use Taozhen to punish those sellers who operate in two stores, but he is wrong?

At this time, it is almost impossible to buy Life Online, it is almost impossible for Qi Na and Zheng Xiumin, Life Online has a good future, why should they sell their own flesh and blood?

Niu Wu understands this truth, but the three-engine business model of Life Online, as well as the explosive development in recent months, have made Niu Wu feel huge pressure, and even shortly after the listing, he has not taken a breath, and was forced by the shareholders of Japan and the United States to ask, how to face the competition of Life Online, how to make up for the shortcomings of the logistics platform? And why don't you buy Life Online, with such a huge amount of money, will you only buy some small e-commerce companies with O2O gimmicks to promote the mobile game business without a genetic foundation?

The different styles of life online have become a nightmare for the giant Taozhen.com, or the nightmare for the executives represented by him.

What to do?

The e-commerce business of Life Online has its own unique style, but the business model draws a lot from Taozhen, such as providing paid consulting, data analysis services and store building services to merchants, etc., and the advantages of Life Online's games, logistics, and entrance are not something that Niu Wu can learn from and imitate.

These are Taozhen's shortcomings, and in the eyes of shareholders, they are forcing Niu Wu to find a way to bridge these shortcomings as soon as possible.

The pressure from shareholders made Niu Wu decide to make up for the shortcomings with the fastest way, that is, to acquire Life Online.

However, Life Online has continuously rejected a number of proposals for financing and shareholding from foreign capital, venture capital, and well-known domestic state-owned enterprises and famous enterprises.

Even an American venture capital was rejected for 100 million for 1 percent of the equity.

Taozhen's agent persuaded Niu Wu to give up after contacting Life Online a few times, and the team management of Life Online is extremely focused, word-of-mouth operation, cost control, and maintaining independence, which is almost these. And these determine that Taozhen and life online are destined to be lost.

Niu Wu accepted the agent's suggestion, gave up the doomed and unfeasible way of acquisition, and decided to change his strategy to defeat Life Online in a short period of time, and then put the collapsed Life Online in his pocket.

So in the strategy given by his own think tank team, he chose to disintegrate life online merchants and so on.

These methods and methods are a little unbearable for Niu Wu, who has always regarded himself as a life coach and business leader, but in the face of the threat brought by the online life, he is determined to leave all etiquette and shame behind.

But what he never expected was that Zheng Xiumin and Qi Na would brave the snow to find themselves for the sake of these merchants. Qi Na's judgment is that Niu Wu wants to use all his energy to kill Life Online, and use Taozhen to punish those sellers who operate in two stores, but he is wrong?

At this time, it is almost impossible to buy Life Online, it is almost impossible for Qi Na and Zheng Xiumin, Life Online has a good future, why should they sell their own flesh and blood?
