You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 332

"..." Zhang Pingyi was silent for a long time, "Oh, I understand."

"You're not committing fraud anymore, you're robbing now, right?"

"What do you mean by robbery? You are talking so harshly." Qin Shaoyan refuted Zhang Pingyi's lawless remarks with great dissatisfaction, "I just want to get something for free."

Zhang Pingyi laughed, "No matter how bad Yiku.com is, it still has one or two million users."

"Besides, the concept of video websites is so popular right now, and the premium is quite high. Brother Chen will never give you the shares for free no matter what."

"Let's take a step back and say that even if you really tricked Brother Chen into giving you shares, the website is useless to you. What if Microsoft disagrees and just makes trouble for you? They own 33% of the shares."

"I said I wanted to get it for free, but I didn't ask Senior Brother Chen to give it to me." Qin Shaoyan explained, "Microsoft can easily handle it. I'll go talk to Davis."

Zhang Pingyi thought for a moment, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Then you don't want to exchange it for shares, do you?"

"No." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "I want others to pay me to do things for me."

"Are you still asleep?" Zhang Pingyi was shocked. "Or is your fever still there?"

"I'm telling you something serious." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "The last time Bill Gates invited us to his house and was so enthusiastic about us, it was just to acquire YouTube. I think YouTube can be sold now."

"You said it can be sold, so let's sell it." Zhang Pingyi answered straightforwardly.

Although he also has a stake in YouTube, he still trusts Qin Shaoyan very much in this matter.

Anyway, Zhang Pingyi didn’t know how to sell it, so he just left it to Qin Shaoyan. He just had to wait for the money.

"How much do you plan to sell it for?" Zhang Pingyi asked curiously.

"We'll sell it at the $20 billion price we negotiated before," Qin Shaoyan answered casually.

Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised, "Oh, you're not going to raise the price?"

"I'm afraid of making a mess of it." Qin Shaoyan explained, "The original price of 20 billion was a huge premium. It was to blow up the valuation. Now if we really want to sell it, we have to show our sincerity."

Qin Shaoyan then added, "Actually, YouTube is not worth 20 billion now. It may be worth more in the future, but I think it's time to sell it now."

Zhang Pingyi nodded and asked, "What about the other shareholders?"

"Then I can't do anything about it. Anyway, I plan to sell my shares. Let Microsoft convince the others themselves." Qin Shaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, when are you planning to sell Facebook?" Zhang Pingyi suddenly remembered that he was not only a shareholder of YouTube.

"There's no rush for this." Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "Let's talk about it the year after next. I want to list the campus network and Qvod first, and then consider Facebook."

"Next year, the campus network will go public through an IPO, and in 07, Qvod will ring the bell on NASDAQ." Zhang Pingyi said with emotion, "It feels like a dream. It has only been a few years and I have become the boss of a listed company."

"There will be many more such feelings in the future." Qin Shaoyan said in a relaxed tone, "As long as you follow me, I guarantee that you will easily achieve financial freedom."

"There's no need to make promises between us," Zhang Pingyi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "It's enough to just make the campus network and Qvod network work well."

"I think so too. We just need to build a good campus network." Qin Shaoyan nodded. "But for now, let's take care of the Yiku.com matter first. Can you help me make an appointment with Senior Brother Chen?"

Zhang Pingyi was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "Don't you have his phone number? Why did you ask me to make an appointment?"

“I’m afraid Microsoft will misunderstand.”

Zhang Pingyi took out his cell phone and called Chen Guangxia, asking him to come out and talk.

Chen Guangxia did not refuse, but was a little hesitant. After a few "hmm" and "ah" sounds, he finally agreed.

……

Qin Shaoyan and Zhang Pingyi set up a banquet in the restaurant's private room, dismissed the secretary, assistant and driver, and waited for Senior Brother Chen to arrive.

At the appointed time, Chen Guangxia pushed the door and walked into the box. His face was tense and he seemed a little unhappy.

Zhang Pingyi stood up and greeted him, "Senior Brother Chen, come and sit over here..."

Before he finished speaking, another person followed in. Zhang Pingyi was stunned for a moment, a little confused, "Who is this?"

Chen Guangxia said unhappily, "Director of Yiku.com."

The man was in his thirties, wearing a white shirt and square-framed glasses, and looked a little different.

"My name is Fan Wencheng. I am currently the vice president of Yiku.com and the director of the planning department." Fan Wencheng revealed his background as soon as he opened his mouth. His Wanwan Mandarin accent was still very obvious.

Chen Guangxia sat down in the chair next to him without saying a word, while Fan Wencheng sat down on a chair across from him.

Zhang Pingyi looked at Chen Guangxia with a puzzled look.

Chen Guangxia snorted coldly, "He asked to come here on his own initiative."

"Mr. Chen, you are wrong." Fan Wencheng said with a smile, "You are here to discuss the company's affairs, and I have the obligation to participate and help you check it."

"After all, as a representative of Microsoft, I have the right to know about major matters of the company."

Zhang Pingyi frowned and looked at Qin Shaoyan.

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Everyone who comes is a guest. Since Director Fan is also the person in charge of Yiku.com, let's talk together."

Fan Wencheng nodded slightly towards Qin Shaoyan, "Mr. Qin is a reasonable person. I am just following the rules."

Qin Shaoyan said calmly: "It's better to follow the rules. I like people who follow the rules. It's less troublesome to follow the rules."

"Boss Qin said it well." Fan Wencheng said in a gloomy tone, "I have met too many people who don't follow the rules in the mainland."

Qin Shaoyan looked at Chen Guangxia, "Mr. Chen, please name a price."

Chen Guangxia hesitated for a moment, "It depends on how much Mr. Qin is willing to buy. If he buys all of them..."

Fan Wencheng suddenly interrupted Chen Guangxia and said, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Chen, you want to sell your shares, why don't you discuss it with us?"

"What are you discussing?!" Chen Guangxia was very angry. He stood up and shouted, "Who do I need to discuss the sale of my shares with? Aren't my shares mine? You want to interfere with this?!"

Fan Wencheng said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, calm down. Your shares do belong to you, but you are not the only shareholder in the company."

"Selling shares is such a big thing, but you just make the decision without consulting other shareholders. Isn't that against the rules?"

Chen Guangxia was furious, "I want to sell it today, what can you do?"

Fan Wencheng said calmly: "Without the consent of other shareholders of the company, this deal cannot be negotiated."

If someone really wanted to make trouble, there were a hundred ways to mess up Chen Guangxia's business.

Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Director Fan, I hope that business matters can be handled according to the rules of the business world, and not make things so ugly."

Fan Wencheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Business is like a battlefield. I have no choice but to do this."

"Your rules are quite flexible." Qin Shaoyan sneered.

"I am putting the overall situation first and protecting the interests of the company's shareholders," Fan Wencheng replied.

Chen Guangxia laughed angrily, "So there's nothing to talk about? Then what's the point of talking about that?"

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Qin Shaoyan looked directly at Fan Wencheng, "So you are refusing to sell Yiku.com? Can you represent Microsoft?"

Fan Wencheng did not answer.

"Then serve the tea and see the guests off." Qin Shaoyan said expressionlessly.

Fan Wencheng did not move, but asked, "How much are you willing to pay for it, Mr. Qin?"
