Chapter 12: Happy Cooperation

Zuckerberg, though he was particularly eager for real-time online translation, said, "This is impossible, Mr. Ren, this is definitely not worth $12 billion, in your Chinese words, you are opening your mouth." ”

Ren Hong looked at the other party's slightly excited expression, and felt a little funny in his heart, but on the surface, he was never flustered, and he said: "Whether it's worth 12 billion US dollars depends on how to calculate it." ”

"I'm curious what makes you dare to call such an outrageous price." Zuckerberg listened attentively.

Ren Hong didn't care, and then said: "Let's get straight to the point, Mr. Zuckerberg." When you get the news and come here as soon as you get it, you know not only the sincerity, but also the impact of the launch of this product. ”

Xiao Za was slightly shocked when he heard this, but he hid it well, and he continued to listen quietly to the other party's words.

"Admittedly, if Facebook doesn't buy the exclusive license of Instant Online Translation on the social networking platform, XlouS will never have a revenue value of 12 billion on your competitors, indeed." After taking a sip of coffee, Ren Hong continued: "However, we all know that the value of instant online translation is far from the actual revenue on the surface, its huge influence, its potential value is not visible, it is difficult to express with exact figures, but it is the most valuable. If this product is used on your competitors, I am afraid that it will have a huge impact on Facebook and even shake its hegemony in the social field, on the contrary, if Facebook is exclusively licensed, its hegemony will be more difficult to shake and help to open up emerging markets and quickly occupy the market."

"What if we choose to give up as if it didn't show up? Or do I make an agreement with a competitor to ignore it? Zuckerberg couldn't help but interrupt the other party's words and said, obviously very dissatisfied with the other party's naked robbery, the other party's mentality of being a strange commodity. Anyway, everyone can use it, and Facebook is still the social hegemon.

"What does it have to do with me?" Ren Hong opened his hands to express his surprise and said, "This is a paid software, you can do it with or without my business, unless you can prevent users from installing my products." Whether you join forces or any agreement or something, in fact, it doesn't have a half-cent relationship with me, but then again, you may not care, but it doesn't mean that you always want to surpass your competitors, even if they don't care, it doesn't mean that people with social dreams don't care, Facebook's annual revenue is a lot of people's eyes. Speaking of this, Ren Hong leaned his back on the sofa, and crossed Erlang's legs, looking at Xiao Za with a faint smile. The latter looked at Ren Hong's relaxed face, even a gloating expression, but his heart twitched, what the other party said was not wrong, because this is an artifact that is very likely to overturn the opponent, and no one has much resistance to it.

Zuckerberg was silent, and Ren Hong said again: "To be honest, Mr. Zuckerberg, I'm sitting here now to discuss with you just to see if I can get an extra amount of revenue, which is naturally the best, and I can't just say it's a pity, but I think there is still a possibility of cooperation between us." ”

"I want to hear about it!" Zuckerberg responded in a deep voice, at this moment, he is no longer treated as a college student, but a real businessman, in the face of businessmen, everything can be discussed, as long as there is a suitable price.

"If it's just to suppress competitors and consolidate the existing situation, 8 billion US dollars is enough, as for why the price is 12 billion, I'm thinking, if we reach a strategic partnership, real-time online mutual translation has strong practicality and relies on the world's largest social platform, this is like a combination of two swords, strong combination, with the help of real-time online mutual translation its powerful functions to assist the social network platform all the way to the city, what a perfect combination, isn't it? I know that Mr. Zuckerberg has always been obsessed with returning to Greater China, in addition to the government's attitude, if once Facebook successfully returns to China, XlouS as its strategic partner, Bi will play a pivotal role, you must know that the local social networking giant tencent's instant messaging QQ and social networking platform WeChat are deeply rooted in this land, the status is difficult to shake, if you want to take a piece of fat from the mouth of this giant, you can't do it without a pair of sharp teeth, And XlouS can provide you with a pair of sharp teeth. ”

Speaking of this, Ren Hong already felt a little dry, and after taking a sip of coffee, he quietly waited for the other party's reply. And at this moment, the two seniors behind him have already turned up stormy waves in their hearts, should this young junior say that he doesn't know the height of the sky or is extremely arrogant, it is known as the unshakable Tencent empire in China, but he said it so easily, but it is the head of the road.

Obviously, Ren Hong's last words spoke to Zuckerberg's heart, for the Greater China region, he has indeed never forgotten, dreaming of entering this huge market, not only to pass the government, but also to face strong local competitors, how difficult is every step?

"I have to say, Ren! You're such a very cunning young entrepreneur, and all of this seems to be a good help for Facebook, but it's actually a free help to promote your product. After a long time, Zuckerberg said with a smile, it is worth noting that his name for Ren Hong has changed, Ren! And not Mr. Ren.

Ren Hong smiled slightly and said, "Mutual benefit, win-win!" Instant online translation and Facebook seem to be twin brothers, you have me, I have you, complement each other, don't they? ”

"That's true!" Zuckerberg smiled and nodded.

Ren Hong suddenly had a mysterious taste and said, "Let me tell you a little bit, Zack!" At present, XlouS is developing version 2.0 of real-time online mutual translation, that is, the translation of video real-time voice and text subtitles, which is expected to be launched in half a year at the latest. ”

When Zuckerberg heard this, after a while, he stood up from his seat, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Happy cooperation!" ”

Ren Hong also got up from his seat, smiled and stretched out his right hand, and said, "Happy cooperation!" ”

The senior and the senior sister behind Ren Hong looked at each other in disbelief, especially the female senior sister, her wide eyes were full of incredulity, she felt that this world was too crazy and unscientific.

$12 billion.

And Ren Hong and his company not only did not pay any price, but even Facebook was free to promote and promote, and they had to post 12 billion US dollars!

And Zuckerberg actually agreed!

The two master's students felt like they were going to get dizzy.

"So draw up the contract now?" Zuckerberg proposed.

"No problem!" Ren Hong nodded.

Obviously, for Xiao Za, only by winning the contract can this trip be considered a complete and perfect end.

"Senior? Senpai? Ren Hong turned to the two master's students, but the other party didn't seem to react.

"Ahh Mr. Xueren, I'm sorry, I'm out of shape! The senior said embarrassedly after reacting, and at the same time pulled the sleeves of the classmates around him, and the senior sister came back to her senses.

Ren Hong didn't care, and said to the two outstanding law school students with a smile: "The contract is troublesome to you, and I will pay you a sum of money after the contract, and each of you will pay 50,000 US dollars." ”

"Ahh No! We were arranged by the school and do not need to be paid. Although the senior was surprised, he shook his head and said.

But obviously, Ren Hong will not be stingy with this money, he also knows that even if he does not pay them the other party will help him review the contract, but he will be more serious when he is paid, Ren Hong knows this very well, so he said: "Seniors, there is no need to shirk it, although it was arranged by the school leaders, but this is what you deserve, this is my principle, you can think of it as obsessive-compulsive disorder." Ren Hong smiled and added, "However, you also have to draw up a confidentiality agreement about the conversation just now." ”

"No problem! Leave it to us! The senior nodded, seeing that Ren Hong said this, they no longer shirked it, and now Ren Hong can be regarded as a billionaire. Until now, Senpai still feels that everything is like a dream.

At this moment, Ren Hong and Zuckerberg sat next to him and chatted softly, while here, the two law school master's students looked at the lines of the contract very carefully.

"It must be strict, this is an astronomical contract, we have received money from our juniors, and we can't tolerate a little sloppiness." The senior reminded.

"I know." The senior sister responded in a low voice, at this moment, her heart was still pounding.
