Chapter 143 Is President Chen threatening me? (Second Update)

The hot pot smelled delicious and tasted great.

There was a slight sense of disorientation, as if I were eating hot pot in the underworld.

After eating hot pot, and with the heating on, Yang Yunsheng should have felt warm, but he felt a chill, and even the lights seemed a little eerie.

Fortunately, we finished our hotpot safely and didn't actually go to the underworld.

The result was that the staff came in to apologize, saying that the heating in the private room was out, and they could give them a 10% discount.

Yang Yunsheng was a little confused, and found it rather funny.

I really thought something was wrong, but it turns out the heating was broken.

Liu Ying and Deng Shuangshuang didn't ask Yang Yunsheng to take them, because Liu Ying was going to Deng Shuangshuang's house that day and would sleep with her.

Although Yang Yunsheng harbored some resentment, he also respected Liu Ying.

The next day, while Yang Yunsheng was making noodles at home, a call came in on his cell phone from an unknown number.

After Yang Yunsheng answered the call, his expression turned somewhat grave.

The other party said his name was Chen Wu and that he was the vice president of Tencent Video.

Yang Yunsheng truly knew him. Chen Wu would later become the president of Tencent Video. A few years later, he was also transferred to Yuewen Group and became its CEO, controlling the life and death of countless authors.

Countless authors also rely on him for scraps.

Yang Yunsheng was not surprised at all that he came to find her, and even understood his purpose.

I never expected that he would know that I was the boss behind the shaking hands.

Yang Yunsheng did not refuse his request to meet with him.

It wouldn't be appropriate to refuse to see a vice president like this who came looking for me.

"Do not sell!"

Upon meeting, Chen Wu looked at Yang Yunsheng with some surprise.

In fact, at the beginning, Tencent, as the dominant force in Nanshan, did not take Douyin seriously.

Even when the Shake Hands app was being developed, they were somewhat dismissive of it.

The reason is simple: they can create a thousand copies of this kind of software in a matter of minutes.

They just didn't expect that in just six months, this thing would have over 30 million registered users.

If this continues to develop, things will get really out of control.

Tencent is also called a news agency!

They have developed numerous derivative products by leveraging QQ and WeChat.

No matter what others do, even if they are just one step ahead, they can still crush or even kill others with their user base.

This is the foundation of their development, and they absolutely cannot allow anyone else to get involved.

It's important to understand that QQ and WeChat faced countless competitors during their development, yet they survived.

To be precise, it wasn't that they survived; it was that they killed others, which is how they survived.

The methods they used are not important; what matters is that they successfully became the number one in the industry, and that is enough.

Now a brand new software has emerged that could threaten their leading position, forcing them to take action.

When Yang Yunsheng said he wouldn't sell, Chen Wu wasn't angry.

With such a powerful tool for attracting traffic, it's normal for Yang Yunsheng not to sell it.

If the other party directly says they're selling, Chen Wu should be careful that they might be setting a trap.

Chen Wu said, "Mr. Yang, as I said, 400 million was just our initial offer. If you're willing to sell, we can raise it by another 400 million, reaching 800 million! Although Douyin is developing rapidly, it's also burning through a lot of money. I also know that other companies have definitely given you offers, but none of them are as sincere as Tencent!"

As he said this, Chen Wu maintained a confident smile, believing that he had everything under control.

The company valued the software at 400 million. But after discussing it with higher management, Chen Wu decided to double the price to 800 million. He didn't believe Yang Yunsheng wouldn't be tempted.

Before he came, he had learned about Yang Yunsheng's family background.

His father passed away, and his mother raised him and his sister with great difficulty. Now he is a crosstalk performer.

Although I don't know how I came into contact with Yu Bo and his group, that's no longer important.

Yang Yunsheng was also extremely shocked; Tencent really had a big budget.

Eight hundred million, that's a lot of money!

Normally, it would take four bank security guards to transport one million, but eight hundred million... Yang Yunsheng was already swallowing hard.

Although Yang Yunsheng was shocked that the other party would offer 800 million, he still insisted on his principles.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your kind offer. If you could offer 3 billion, I could sell the 'Shaking Hands' to you. But 800 million is absolutely out of the question!"

Chen Wu stared at Yang Yunsheng in disbelief, unsure whether he was the one who had gone mad or Yang Yunsheng.

Three billion?

Do you really think Tencent's money grows on trees?
Is not it?
In short, three billion is the bottom line that Yang Yunsheng can sell for.

Chen Wu sneered and said with dissatisfaction, "President Yang, you're making fun of me. Thirty billion, do you know what thirty billion means? Leaving aside whether I agree or not, if this gets back to the company, they'll think you're asking for an exorbitant price!"

Yang Yunsheng didn't explain, because in less than two years, they would acquire Qidian at a high price.

That's five billion RMB!
Although it also includes other transactions, such as the bonus of Hongxiu and Xiaoxiang.

Is it possible that the potential of shaking hands will be less than that of Yuewen in the future?

Obviously not.

Yang Yunsheng said, "Since President Chen is not sincere, then there is nothing to talk about?"

Chen Wu was amused by Yang Yunsheng's words.

Is it that I'm not sincere, or that you're not sincere? You're asking for an outrageous price, it's completely outrageous.

Yang Yunsheng got up and prepared to leave.

Chen Wu suddenly spoke up: "Wait!"

Yang Yunsheng turned around and smiled.

"Has Mr. Chen figured it out?"

Chen Wu chuckled lightly and said, "You should know how Tencent got its start. As the vice president of Tencent Video, I feel I need to remind you. Right now, WeChat and QQ still hold absolute dominance in Tencent's user acquisition. If we create a short video app like yours, and given our company's strength, what will you have to compete with us?"

Yang Yunsheng faced Chen Wu and fell silent.

Chen Wu crossed his arms and legs, staring confidently at Yang Yunsheng.

He believed Yang Yunsheng would compromise.

But Yang Yunsheng quickly revealed a hint of disdain.

"Is Mr. Chen threatening me?"

Chen Wu was surprised that Yang Yunsheng would ask such a question.

Although it is indeed a threat, saying it aloud would lower one's status.

"It's not a threat, it's just that you're young and don't think things through very well. As your senior, I feel it's necessary to remind you."

Yang Yunsheng shook his head: "But I don't buy into that!"

Chen Wu was taken aback, not expecting Yang Yunsheng to be so assertive.

Does this kid even know who he's dealing with?

Don't they know that compared to Tencent, Douyin is just a fledgling chick that hasn't even started to develop yet?
