Chapter 16 Acquisition from Penguins
Su Xiaoxiao and the others' faces changed even more, they didn't expect the penguins to react so quickly, the blue space had just been online for less than twenty-four hours, and the penguins' people actually came.
Although the blue space became popular overnight, and the number of users reached one million, it is not half a star worse than the entrenched overlord-level peer penguin.
The most important thing is that they don't trust competitors to come to their doors, it's really as simple as a visit.
"Hello, is the founder here?"
Mr. Xu, who was the leader, repeated again.
Su Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed, and didn't know whether to say that when Fang Ping was there, Fang Ping had already walked out of the office area, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Fang Ping, the CEO of Future Technology!" ”
"This is our president!" Su Xiaoxiao realized it and introduced.
Seeing Fang Ping, Mr. Xu and the others all flashed with disbelief on their faces, and on the way here, they kept thinking about what kind of person the founder of Azure Space was.
I was able to come up with Azure Space, a new social platform for this genius creativity.
And not only did I think about it, but I also did it, and I made it very hot.
It's a miracle.
And I never expected that the person who created the miracle of the Internet would be so young.
Compared to the identity of the founder of Azure Space, they prefer to believe that the person in front of them is a student.
Mr. Xu experienced strong winds and waves, and after being stunned for a short time, he recovered, stretched out his hand and shook Fang Ping's hand: "I wanted to know Mr. Fang yesterday, and today I got what I wanted!" ”
"How?" Fang Ping let go of his hand and said in surprise.
"Your company's blue space has not yet been launched, so it has carried out a registration and mobile phone activity, which is refreshing!"
Mr. Xu said humorously: "Mr. Fang, you have taught us a lesson!" ”
Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, and sighed in his heart, no wonder penguins can become bigger and stronger, with this keen sense of smell alone, it is not comparable to ordinary people.
But he didn't show it, and said modestly: "Mr. Xu, I have won the award." ”
"Can you give us a tour of your office?" Mr. Xu smiled and changed his mind.
"Of course, everyone, please!"
Fang Ping made an invitation and led Mr. Xu and his party into the office area to visit.
Looking at the office area covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters and with various well-equipped facilities, Mr. Xu's first reaction was that this blue space was definitely not a project out of control.
Rather, it is a well-thought-out project.
In particular, the founders have full confidence in this project, as well as planning.
Otherwise, it would not have been in the blue space before it was launched, and such a large office area would have been purchased.
At the same time, from this detail, it can be seen that the blue space is rich.
If you think about it carefully, it's right, if you don't have money, it's impossible for the website to be burned tens of millions if it doesn't go online.
For a while, Mr. Xu's thoughts were shaken when he came, but he didn't show it, but asked Fang Ping with great interest about some personal and entrepreneurial matters.
knocked on the side of Fang Ping's source of funds.
Although Fang Ping had never experienced this kind of business exchange, he had lived for more than ten years, and had experienced all kinds of information bombardment in later generations. When answering, either avoid the important or fabricate the facts.
This gave Mr. Xu the impression of a little fox.
Soon, after a circle, Fang Ping led Mr. Xu and others into the office and sat down.
After exchanging a few words of greetings, Mr. Xu went straight to the topic: "Mr. Fang, my company is very interested in the blue space you developed, and this time I am entrusted by Mr. Ma to launch a formal acquisition invitation on behalf of Penguin to the blue space you founded!" ”
"Sorry, I'm not selling Future Tech!" Fang Ping was stunned, but he didn't feel surprised, and flatly refused.
Just kidding, the future market value of Azure Space is hundreds of billions of dollars.
Don't say 60 million, it's 600 million, 600 million won't sell.
Mr. Xu waved his hand: "Mr. Fang, don't be in a hurry to refuse, at least you should listen to our conditions." Our company is willing to purchase a wholly-owned company at a premium of 60 million. And will still hire you and your team for a good salary to keep working! ”
This price was temporarily decided by him after visiting Fang Ping's office and chatting with Fang Ping.
According to the normal valuation, he believes that the value of Fang Ping's company should be around 30 million.
The reason for the premium of 20 million was that he felt that Fang Ping was not short of money, and the development momentum of Azure Space was strong, so he doubled his valuation.
Fang Ping refused again: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, I have no intention of selling the entire company!" ”
What the? Refused!
Mr. Xu's entourage is all stunned, 60 million! That's 60 million!
This price is a sky-high valuation for a website that has just been launched for a day.
He actually refused!
And he refused so decisively.
Mr. Xu smiled bitterly, he had expected that Fang Ping, who was not bad for money, would not agree to the acquisition, but when Fang Ping really refused, he couldn't help but feel a kind of regret.
But he quickly collected his emotions and said, "Mr. Fang, I really don't think about it, even if I sell Future Technology." We will continue to hire you to continue to develop the Blue Space! ”
"Mr. Xu, don't persuade me, I've made up my mind!"
Fang Ping shrugged his shoulders: "You're welcome, I have many ways to make money, hundreds of millions, billions of dollars." ”
The corners of Mr. Xu and the others twitched, no, if you open and close your mouth, it is hundreds of millions, billions, is it so easy to make money?
I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about making money, right?
"That's why I made Azure Space, not for money, but for business!" Fang Ping added.
"Mr. Fang, you have lofty ambitions, and you admire it!"
Mr. Xu calmed down, and his tone changed: "Then I don't know if Mr. Fang is willing to accept financing, my company is willing..."
"Sorry, I'm not considering financing for the time being!" Without waiting for the general to put forward conditions, Fang Ping categorically refused.
At this time, the blue space is only online, and the valuation will definitely not be too high.
Penguin is willing to offer a valuation of 60 million for the acquisition, purely to achieve the purpose of the acquisition, but if it is exchanged for financing, the valuation is definitely not so high.
The most important thing is that after the financing, the penguins have the right to interfere in the development of the blue space.
With the peeon nature of the penguin, it will definitely plagiarize while indirectly killing the Azure Space to make way for its own website.
For a little money, the matter of burying the Azure Space, Fang Ping will not do it.
Mr. Xu glanced at Fang Ping deeply and stood up: "Since this is the case, then I can only look forward to cooperating with Mr. Fang next time!" ”
"Me too!"
Fang Ping also stood up, exchanged a few words with Mr. Xu and the others, and sent them away.
After the penguin and the group left, Fang Ping turned around the office, looked at Su Xiaoxiao and the others with a worried face, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" It's as if they've been beaten by frost! ”
"Mr. Fang, they..."Su Xiaoxiao, Chen Siming and the others hesitated after getting acquainted.
"I came to talk about the acquisition, but I refused!"
Fang Ping said lightly, and said: "Xiaoxiao, let's adjust the plan, I am personally responsible for the personnel part, and you are responsible for continuing to promote it in other universities!" ”
"I'll give you 200 million funds to quickly seize the market!"
"Mr. Fang..."Su was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he had just burned tens of millions, and he would burn another 200 million.
Fang Ping said lightly: "I know the penguin style, if the acquisition fails, it will be immediately plagiarized and suppressed." So we have to speed up the expansion of things, and once the Matthew effect is formed, we have the capital to compete with the penguins. ”
"As for money, it's not a thing!"
Su Xiaoxiao and the others fainted for a while, and sure enough, the world of rich people is different from ours.
Fang Ping looked at Chen Siming and the others again: "Siming, you guys speed up the development of new functions. If you lack talent, I will find a way to replenish it for you. ”
"I have only one condition, and I must maintain an absolute lead in feature updates."
"Yes!" Chen Siming and others said in unison.
After explaining, Fang Ping arranged some meticulous work again, and asked Su Xiaoxiao to apply for patents for some innovative functions developed by Azure Space.
Then Fang Ping left the company, pondering as he walked, there are so many people in the company's technology, finance, and administration, and there are penguin foreign enemies eyeing him, where can he go to recruit people quickly?
Wait, there you have it!
