Chapter 15: Enough Cake
Zhou Wei attaches great importance to this cooperation negotiation, because no one understands better than him how superior [0312] is.
359 can reach the peak by relying on a butler software, and it may fall off the altar at any time because of another better software.
Fortunately, in the past ten years, my team has continued to innovate and improve, and has been at the forefront of the industry, which has led to today's scale.
But there is no victorious general in the world, so Zhou Wei knows that this kind of moment is very likely and even inevitable.
Now is the critical moment for 359, and if it is not handled properly, the consequences are unpredictable, but it is definitely not better.
When his technical team pushed [0312] in front of him a few days ago, Zhou Wei knew that he had finally ushered in this moment.
To be honest, after Zhou Wei understood the superiority of [0312].
The first thought that came to my heart was to suppress, as an Internet giant, I have huge social resources in my hands, and I can squeeze [0312] out of the market from all aspects.
This is a common trick used by large companies against small companies, as a certain bird factory is an expert in this area:
When you find a piece of software that is prevalent in the market, you spend money to buy it, and if you can't deal with it, you turn it into your own.
If the other party doesn't agree, it's easy.
A bunch of technical teams can develop similar application software in a short period of time.
Then use your huge audience to quickly seize the market, squeeze the development space of your opponents, and finally force you to either surrender or die.
However, Zhou Wei quickly gave up the idea of suppression, not because he was benevolent, but because [0312] was different.
Butler software is different from other application software, and the final comparison is performance, technology.
The particularity of [0312] is not simply to cater to the needs of the audience, it also has advanced technical support.
For more than ten years, I have competed with several old opponents, but the gap in technical strength is not large.
So it's not terrible to cater to the market, it's the technology that's terrible.
359 Group wants to make an imitation, but unfortunately, as one of the top software technology teams in China and even in the world, it doesn't even understand the underlying operating logic of the other party...
If you can't make software with similar performance, it becomes hopeless to rely solely on social resources and media resources to eliminate [0312].
Now I see that the technical strength behind [0312] is not only my own, and many of my old opponents have already understood.
It's just that they don't have their own courage, and their reaction speed is a point slower than themselves after all.
If you can't get Haidong Software today and give you the opportunity to contact other competitors, the future of 359 will be worrying.
Zhou Wei had a crisis in his heart, but his face was silent.
In the face of the young and fledgling Wu Qi, he showed the greatest respect.
The two talked a lot about cybersecurity, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Then the conversation slowly began to turn to the direction of cooperation.
When it came to the real discussion of cooperation, Wu Qi stopped answering with interest and took it over by Shen Dong.
Zhou Wei didn't care about this when he saw this, and turned his head to continue chatting with Shen Dong.
Although he knew that the other party would not agree to the proposal of the merger, Zhou Wei still made some persuasion.
After the negotiations were fruitless, he voluntarily gave up the proposal.
turned to discuss with Wu Qi and the others about the shareholding of 359 Group.
60 million accounts for 30% of the shares, which is a very sincere price according to the market situation.
But Shen Dong always talked about it according to his previous confession with Wu Qi, 200 million 27% of the shares.
Originally, it was agreed to transfer 30% of the shares, but later Shen Dong considered to ensure Wu Qi's absolute controlling stake.
Therefore, it was changed to a maximum of 27% of the shares, so that Wu Qi at least personally accounted for more than 50% of the shares.
Zhou Wei naturally won't agree to this condition, not because he can't afford it, but because the bottom line is too much beyond the estimate, and he can't agree to it arbitrarily.
But Zhou Wei did not show an impatient mentality, and still discussed with Shen Dong peacefully.
[0312]'s technological leadership does not mean that it will inevitably develop into an Internet giant in the future, and there are many factors influencing it.
Participating in Haidong Software in the name of 359 Group is a move made by Zhou Wei in advance.
If Haidong Software does not grow up in the end, these tens of millions of investments will not hurt 359's bones.
But if [0312] finally forms a scale and develops into a platform giant in the future, the tens of millions of shares bought by themselves can also extend the life of 359.
I can't take Haidong by myself, but because of my own shares, others have no chance.
Haidong failed, everyone continued to fight, and 359 was never worthy of these old opponents.
The rise of Haidong, no one can please anyone, but he is already invincible by pinching Haidong shares.
Although Shen Dong guessed the other party's intention when Zhou Wei came to the door, he was still young after all, and he didn't find out the other party's true purpose and situation.
I don't really know the true value of the technology behind [0312].
After all, it is a company with almost the same business scope, and it is inevitable that there will be a head-on fight in the future.
And the crushing advantage in technology makes Haidong Software's chances of winning not low.
Shen Dong didn't realize this.
Therefore, on the contrary, Zhou Wei, who has been up and down in the business sea for many years, completely occupied the advantage in this negotiation, and Shen Dong's words were tough, but he never had the corresponding confidence to support him.
After some negotiations, Zhou Wei finally agreed to inject Haidong Software at a price of 90 million accounting for 27% of the shares.
The matter was roughly finalized, and Zhou Wei explained the specific matters to the person in charge of the 359 Haidu branch around him to follow up, and he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Wu Qi was not interested in specific matters and did not understand, he only cared about when the silver of Baihuahua would arrive.
After getting the approximate arrival date, Wu Qi couldn't sit still, and he still had to go to find the old man before.
Shen Dong saw Zhou Wei leaving, Wu Qi looked like he was sitting on pins and needles again, so he had to sign a letter of intent with the person in charge and make an appointment to officially sign the contract, and then accompanied Wu Qi to say goodbye and walked down the second floor.
"Boss, there are several other well-known local investors in Haidu who want to talk to you face-to-face."
Wu Qi went downstairs and went straight to the door, and Shen Dong hurriedly grabbed and persuaded him when he saw this.
"Just talk about it, I still have something to do."
Wu Qi really can't stay, he doesn't know what to negotiate, and he does have something to do.
"Boss, these are all eye-catching to send money, I'm not good at technology, you may be able to finalize a lot of cooperation projects on the spot, this is a lot of cash..."
Shen Dong's words poked Wu Qi's weakness, and Wu Qi suddenly stopped.
Recently, Wu Qi occasionally couldn't help but ask about Haidong's business situation, showing that he was in urgent need of a large amount of money, and he stopped him with a word.
"I really have something, is there any way to solve it quickly?"
Although Wu Qi stopped, he still remembered his task in his heart.
When Shen Dong saw Wu Qi's appearance, he was full of contempt in his heart.
It must be to meet the beautiful woman in the white dress I just met at the gate...
The boss is good at everything, but he is too attentive.
My sister is such a big beauty who lives by her side every day and is not satisfied, really, rich men will become bad...
Fortunately, Wu Qi didn't see the disdain in Shen Dong's eyes, and he couldn't read Shen Dong's inner monologue, otherwise he would have to jump to his feet in anger...
"Boss, it should be quick.
Because of 359's investment in shares, they knew that it was impossible to inject capital into Haidong.
They all choose to cooperate in other aspects, and I have already divided the cake for them, so let's just go through the motions. ”
The boss was in a hurry to leave, and Shen Dong was also helpless, so he could only explain.
"Divide the cake? In addition to Haidong Software Company, do we have other companies to invest in? ”
Wu Qi wondered, Zhou Weidu took the lead in occupying the only pit, how could these people send me money?
"Not at the moment, it's coming soon."
Shen Dong pretended to smile mysteriously and said.
After speaking, without waiting for Wu Qi to answer, he beckoned everyone on the first floor to gather.
Just now, Wu Qi and the two of them stood at the door of the first floor to discuss, and everyone else stayed away with interest.
Now seeing Shen Dong beckoning, they came closer again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Zhou has left, I believe you all already know the purpose of Mr. Zhou's trip, right?"
Seeing that everyone had already gathered around, Shen Dong spoke directly.
Everyone on the first floor is a well-known investor in Haidu, and they originally planned to invest in Haidong Software.
However, from the moment they received the invitation letter jointly issued by Zhou Wei and Shen Dong, these people knew that they had completely lost this opportunity.
The reason why I still came to the meeting was that I couldn't just come here to say hello.
In addition to the invitation letter, they each received a PPT file sent by Shen Dong in the name of Haidong Software Company.
"We all know Mr. Zhou's intentions, and we have dispelled the idea of injecting capital into Haidong. This trip is for the software introduced in the PPT. ”
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his early forties named Gao Jun, a big financier who preferred to invest in technology companies.
Gao Jun's most successful investment was the successful injection of capital into a Meitu software company in Fujian Province, which also promoted his net worth to 10 billion yuan.
"Yes, we have the same purpose as Mr. Gao, but with so many people participating, it doesn't make much sense to invest."
Another man spoke, his name is Yang Xiang, and he is also a well-known angel investor in Haidu.
"Not bad. The cake is not enough to share. ”
"Let's get straight to the point and talk about the terms of cooperation."
...
Yang Xiang opened his mouth, and a few people echoed.
"Mr. Gao, Mr. Yang, everyone. There's no need to rush. ”
The PPT sent to you is not the same software, and they are very different from each other, the cake is enough, one for each person. ”
As soon as Shen Dong's words came out, everyone collectively exclaimed.
These people will come, naturally seeing that the software applications introduced to them have considerable prospects.
In order not to expose their hole cards, they did not discuss the content of the PPT with each other specifically.
Now Shen Dong said that the software introductions they received were different, and these people should not be frightened.
[0312] is amazing enough, the software in his own hands is also of great value, and so are the reactions of others.
But so many valuable software applications are from Haidong, which is also amazing.
Everyone looked at Wu Qi in unison, their eyes full of surprise.
Wu Qi is the actual developer of [0312], and these well-informed big financiers all know it.
Haidong's previous old bottom was also turned upside down by these people.
A software company that barely broke even suddenly rose because of the technology brought by Wu Qi.
Now there are a bunch of bullish software applications, and it is self-evident who the developers are.
At this time, Wu Qi was confused in the face of dozens of pairs of surprised eyes,
What are you looking at me for...
He didn't know the ins and outs behind Shen Dong's operation.
