Chapter 11: The Asking Price

Change the world

These four words just made Zuckerberg and the school leaders who were about to walk to the door of 317 hear, and Zuckerberg could naturally understand the meaning of this Chinese sentence, which made him very curious about what the founder of the company who was about to meet and designed this product was like.

The sound of knocking on the door sounded, Ren Hong made a silent gesture, and then went to open the door in person.

"Forehead......" Ren Hong was stunned for a while.

Zhang Han inside saw Ren Hong's expression and forced a smile, and said in a low voice: "Our boss has revealed new skills again, this acting skills, as if he really didn't know that Xiaozha was coming!" I'm convinced! ”

Everyone agreed.

"Classmate Ren Hong!" The school leader obviously knew Ren Hong, so he smiled and said, "This must be no stranger!" Mark? Mr. Zuckerberg. ”

Ren Hong quickly recovered from the "shock", and said at the same time: "Mr. Zuckerberg, it's an honor to meet you!" ”

"I'm honored to meet you, Mr. Ren." Zuckerberg said with a smile.

After the two sides shook hands warmly, Ren Hong expressed his doubts and said, "I wonder if Mr. Zuckerberg came here because of our products?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Zha smiled: "I have read the email sent by XlouS to Facebook headquarters, and I rushed to China as soon as possible, and Facebook hopes to discuss the possibility of cooperation with your company." ”

Foreigners really don't drag mud and water, Ren Hong thought to himself, this Xiaozha didn't shy away from going straight to the point as soon as he came up, but he liked such people.

"It's been an honor, and I think I'm really looking forward to working with a great company like Facebook." Ren Hong was neither humble nor arrogant, and said politely.

"Without further ado, let's find a comfortable environment and talk slowly?" Zuckerberg proposed.

"Agreed!" Ren Hong nodded with a smile and added, "I'll explain it first." ”

Zuckerberg nodded kindly, and watched Ren Hong return to the classroom, although this place is indeed a little shabby, but it is also the company residence of XlouS, and Zuckerberg will not enter at will without permission.

After a while, Ren Hong came out, "Leader, and Mr. Zuckerberg, please!" He stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, facing the school leaders and technology giants, Ren Hong did not show any nervousness, and was never humble or arrogant, which surprised the school leaders, it seems that the person who designed an amazing product is also amazing, or a genius.

Such a person is always extraordinary.

After coming downstairs, Zuckerberg, Ren Hong and the school leaders walked side by side, especially Zuckerberg smiled and talked to Ren Hong on the left from time to time.

This scene surprised the alumni who saw it on the way, and all the students who saw this scene were shocked, because Ren Hong was too young, and he was dressed ordinarily, wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt and gray jeans, the only thing that was striking was that he was so smooth when talking to Zuckerberg, and even fiddling with body language from time to time, looking like he was talking and laughing.

The hand-wrenched classmate took out his mobile phone on the spot and took a picture of the scene and posted it to the forum and the circle of friends.

2nd floor: "Huh! Who is this young man on the left with Xiaozha? ”

Third floor: ", how can there be a sense of immediacy like two Internet bigwigs talking?" Is it a hallucination? ”

Fourth floor: "Who is this little friend, so good!" If you want to change my heart that I have been excited for a long time! ”

Sixth floor: "Why is the fifth floor missing?" ”

Seventh Floor: "Summoning the Emperor of Truth!" ”

Eighth floor: "The young man on the left of Xiaozha is called Ren Hong, a sophomore in the computer department, a top student in the library, psychology, physics and all mess are involved, just suspended for a short time, suspended for a year and then resumed school, and then registered an Internet technology company called XlouS, and launched the first product instant online translation application, yes, the school's recent popular translation software is from this technology company called XlouS. Finally, a warm reminder, this friend is currently single, ask me why do I know? Please call me the Emperor of Truth! ”

Ninth floor: "I'll rub!" Upstairs the truth! ”

10th Floor: "Simply! ”

……

Ren Hong became completely popular at Tsinghua University, just because he and Zuckerberg stood side by side and talked to each other shocked many people, and at this point, alumni began to dig up Ren Hong's information non-stop. In the end, I found out that the popular instant online translation in the school was designed by Ren Hong.

"I bet! I know the purpose of Xiaozha's visit to our school! ”

"Is upstairs funny? Who of you here now doesn't know that Xiaozha came to school for Ren Hong and his company's products! ”

"Upstairs is right! It's just that I was surprised that Zuckerberg actually came in person, and I had a hunch that XlouS was going to be popular! It's going to be red! ”

While the campus forum was chatting about Ren Hong and Zuckerberg, the parties had already arrived at a European-style Starbucks café near the school.

The school leaders did not come, because he already knew the purpose of Zuckerberg's visit, thinking that the two sides were about to discuss the issue of business cooperation, the school leaders arranged for two law school graduating master's students to accompany Ren Hong to negotiate, for the school's arrangement, Ren Hong is still very grateful, because the school did not intervene and this negotiation only called two master's students, and this will not affect his decision-making.

In a quiet and comfortable box, the two sides sat opposite each other, and behind Ren Hong sat two master's students and seniors who were a few years older than him, obviously, the two master's students were also very curious about Ren Hong, but the good quality allowed the two of them to sit quietly next to them.

On the other side, there's Zuckerberg and her assistants.

I saw Xiao Zha take a sip of coffee and take the lead in speaking: "Then, Mr. Ren, let's go straight to the point." ”

Ren Hong smiled and nodded in agreement. Zuckerberg paused, immediately assumed the role of a businessman negotiator, and said, "I wonder if Facebook has the possibility of investing in your company?" I am sure that it will definitely be with the greatest sincerity to invest in your company! ”

In the face of Zuckerberg's tentative opening, Ren Hong shook his head, only to see him say slowly: "XlouS does not consider any investment for the time being. I'm sorry! ”

"That's a pity, but seeing Sequoia Capital and IDG go home in disappointment can be regarded as a little balance in my heart." Xiao Zha laughed teasingly, which made both sides smile good-naturedly.

"So, Mr. Zuckerberg, what do you want us to do together? If it's possible. Ren Hong smiled faintly and said.

The two master's seniors behind him saw that this junior was neither humble nor arrogant, and negotiated with a technology giant like Zuckerberg with a calm and calm face, and they were secretly surprised in their hearts, and at the same time admired, you must know how young Ren Hong is now? And what kind of people is he negotiating with?

Zuckerberg paused, and then said: "Facebook is willing to buy the exclusive license of your company's instant online translation products in the field of social networking for $2 billion, what do you think?" ”

Ren Hong listened to the other party's words with a smile, and during the negotiation, Zuckerberg spoke English. After a moment of silence, he shook his head slightly, then stretched out two fingers and said in fluent English, "There are two questions here. First, your concept is very vague, because we don't know if someone will launch a new social networking platform in the next moment, so wouldn't it make me easily break the contract? ”

Zuckerberg immediately apologized when he heard this: "I'm sorry, maybe I can't express it clearly, this problem can be solved specifically." So the second one is? ”

Ren Hong nodded in understanding, and then said: "The price of $2 billion is not enough to buy this exclusive license." ”

The two master's seniors behind him were secretly stunned when they heard it, Zuckerberg was shocked when he proposed $2 billion, which is already an astronomical amount, but I didn't expect this junior to disagree? How much can it be satisfied?

The negotiations fell into a brief silence, and after a while, Zuckerberg looked at Ren Hong, "So what kind of price does Mr. Ren think is appropriate?" ”

"$12 billion!" Ren Hong said his price unhurriedly.

The next moment, the audience was silent, and Zuckerberg's assistant and two master's seniors looked at him incredulously, even Zuckerberg was stunned when he heard this.

The people present had such a thought, Ren Hong is thinking about money and going crazy?

Even if Xiao Zha is very well-educated, he can't help but want to scold the urge to turn around and return to China, and ask for 12 billion dollars when he opens his mouth, why don't you rob it? However, in the end, he resisted the urge in his heart, he knew very well the importance of this trip, and he had to win the instant online translation.
