"Mr. Meg, the above is our Penguin Technology Internet Company's strategic plan for the future, believe me, choose us, and you will thank yourself in the future for the choice you made today."

In the manager's office, Ma Huateng made a final summary, and his whole face was full of confidence.

However, in his heart, he couldn't help beating the drums, and even the urgency and anxiety hidden in his self-confidence could be seen from the eyes he looked at this foreign friend.

He's in a hurry now!

But in a hurry, he also had to try to maintain his composure.

It's a skill you learn after hitting a wall everywhere.

But alas.

I don't know if Ma Huateng's negotiation skills are not enough, or the other party's willingness to invest is not big in the first place.

Mr. Meg's face was flat from beginning to end, and he didn't even show half distraction, but just glanced at the proposal and threw it on the table:

“po

Y, you just said a lot, including the future development of Penguin, the optimization of products. ”

"Even if you say you're going to reach your goal of 100 million users within a year?"

"Yes." Ma Huateng nodded repeatedly:

"Mr. Meg, in fact we now have 70 million users, 100 million users must not be a problem, our follow-up ......"

"Wait!"

Before Ma Huaten could finish speaking, Meg had already waved her hand directly and interrupted him impatiently:

"To be honest, you Penguin are really amazing because the rate of your user growth, and the number of users, is amazing."

"But I have a question."

"Why should I invest in you?"

Ma Huateng hurriedly spoke: "The number of our users means countless possibilities, and such a high number of users represents endless potential. ”

"It's also an endless amount of money, doesn't it?" Meg pouted.

This......

Ma Huateng knotted, he knew that the other party was going to launch a fatal blow next.

Sure enough, Meg spoke:

“po

We are an investment company, not a philanthropic company, and we are willing to invest in a project that needs the company we invest in and can bring us returns. ”

"What do we want in return?"

"Is it the number of users that looks very good on the data?"

"No, it's not."

"What we need is to make these users able to bring us profits and bring us financial returns."

"If these users can't produce a penny, what is the difference between 100 million users and one user?"

"Of course, there is a difference, at least on the server, there is a greater capital cost."

"Isn't it?"

Marvaten was silent, and looking at his silent appearance, Meg had already continued to ask:

"So, po

y, you don't need to tell me about your follow-up development plan, nor do you need to tell me about the number of follow-up target users. ”

"There's only one I need."

"How are you going to make a profit?"

"I'm investing in you now, how long will you be able to make a profit?"

"Let's see the benefits?"

This......

Ma Huateng was embarrassed and bit his lip: "We are thinking about ways to make money, believe me, the number of users we have now, once we find a profit model, we are absolutely ......"

"That means you don't have any profit model yet?" Meg asked, shaking her head.

"We ......"

"Not yet."

Ma Huateng shook his head in frustration, if he can find a way to make a profit, then where is the need to be so embarrassed as now?

In fact.

It's not just a penguin problem.

It is also a problem that most Internet companies have to face.

It's just that the penguins are a little worse.

After all, whether it is compared with Baidu, which is engaged in search engines, or compared with new wolves and pig farms, Penguin currently has no way to make a profit.

Everything is still in a state of fumbling.

It's harder to make a profit.

"You see, you penguins don't even know how to make a profit for me, so how can you tell me to invest in you with confidence?" Meg shook her head.

"But it's only temporary, isn't it?" Ma Huateng tried to fight: "The number of our users is the top in the instant messaging software in the entire Xia Kingdom, and there is a lot of potential in it!" ”

"In fact, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't even be here for you penguins, let alone today's conversation."

Ma Huateng's eyes lit up: "So, Mr. Meg, you ......"

"We at NPX Group are really interested in the current number of users of Penguin, so we can really give you a certain amount of investment."

Meg nodded, and the words had already been said on this, and she didn't hide it anymore:

"We are willing to invest four million meters!"

Four million meters of knife!

This is definitely what penguins need most at the moment!

But although Ma Huateng was moved, he still forced himself to calm down, and asked instead: "What about your request?" ”

"Eighty percent of the shares."

These words, like a basin of cold water, calmed down Ma Huateng's restless heart instantly.

Eighty percent of the shares, in exchange for four million meters.

This price......

He couldn't accept it.

In other words, even if he can accept it, the other two investors of Penguin will never accept it.

After all, last year.

IDG and Xiangjiang Li Gongzi invested a total of 2.2 million meters, and then the two parties divided a total of 40% of the shares.

Based on the calculations at that time, in fact, the valuation of penguins has reached 5.5 million meters.

But now that the valuation of NPX is calculated, the number of Penguin users has not increased the valuation, and has even decreased to 5 million meters.

This is a pure loss!

Almost without asking Ma Huateng to know that this result, whether it is IDG or Xiangjiang's Li Gongzi, it is absolutely impossible to accept.

The question now is not whether Ma Huateng is willing to sell his shares, but whether the other two shareholders will not agree.

"Mr. Meg, you should know that we ...... before"

"I know." Before Marvaten could finish speaking, Meg interrupted him again:

"Last year, you accepted two investments, and I understand that my valuation is lower than theirs, but you have to know that the Internet today is not the Internet of three years ago."

"Even if you have a higher number of users and a better product, but so what?"

"As I said before, there is no way to bring profits, and no matter how many users there are, they will only bring higher losses."

"So, in terms of price, it's the result of our NPX after careful consideration."

"You only have two choices."

"To accept, or not to accept."

Speaking of this, Meg paused slightly, and a smile on her face made Ma Huaten a little unhappy, but she was powerless to resist:

"After all, the decision is in our hands."
