Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 171 Don't Be Afraid of Du Niang and Don't Bow Your Head
"Mr. Liu, we are all businessmen, let's talk about something that involves practical interests. We are all busy people. I will make an appointment with someone from Google in a while," Jiang Hui said.

"Google? How did Google find you? What does their company want you to do?" Mr. Liu asked.

"Sorry, it's a commercial secret, no comment," Jiang Hui said.

Whether in the world or in China, Du Niang’s biggest competitor is Google, and even Du Niang itself was created by imitating Google to a certain extent.

When Mr. Liu heard that Jiang Hui mentioned that he would meet someone from Google, he was completely uneasy. Now that Yahu and Du Niang are robbing Hao123, it is already enough trouble, and there will be a new spoiler coming in soon. What is going on these days? How about it?

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, I'm going out to make a phone call." Mr. Liu thought about telling Boss Li about Google's involvement in Hao123 first. It seems that the original plan needs to be greatly revised. It is best to persuade Shareholders bought Hao123 and settled the matter once and for all. Yahoo and Google in the province are always thinking about it.If Du Niang starts late and Hao123 falls into the hands of Yahoo or Google, then Du Niang's position as the leader in the Chinese search market will really be in jeopardy.

Jiang Hui bought Hao123 originally because he wanted to cut a piece of meat to nourish his various companies before Du Niang went public. Now that Yahoo and Google have stepped in, both of them are rich and powerful, Jiang Hui is not worried about Du Niang at all. Don’t bow your head anymore, after all, I know that Hao123’s import traffic accounts for 40.00% of Du Niang’s traffic. As long as this data is leaked to Yahoo and Google, they will be red-eyed and rush forward with a bus in hand. I came up crying and clamoring to buy Hao123.

……

"Mr. Li, the situation is not good, and Google has started to focus on Hao123."

"What's the status of today's negotiations, how did you get involved with Google?".

"It's hard to talk about. Jiang Hui, the boss of Guanghui Technology, doesn't look like a student at all. He is very difficult to deal with. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't like our plan to increase advertising fees. He was a little impatient just now. We talked about it, and I don’t know if it was a slip of the tongue or on purpose, and told us that someone from Google asked him to meet.”

"Damn it, Google is lingering, it's everywhere, so why do they still want to monopolize the global market?".

"Mr. Li, what do you think we should do? Should we start the acquisition negotiations as soon as possible, and if we don't hold Hao123 in our hands, even if we pass this hurdle, we will not be able to guarantee that there will be no moths in the future."

"You continue to chat with him, try to stabilize him first, so that he does not reach a new agreement with Google or Yahoo so quickly, and I will discuss the acquisition with shareholders."

……

After Mr. Liu finished making the phone call, he took a deep breath, showed a professional smile, and went back to the box to sit down.

"Mr. Jiang, our Du Niang company came here today with sincerity. Can you tell us about your conditions? As long as you can do it, I can agree to it," said Mr. Liu.

"Hehe, if there is no phrase 'as long as it can be done' in the words, I really think Mr. Liu should lose his temper," Jiang Hui said.

"Mr. Jiang, I am also a part-time worker in essence, so don't embarrass me. I will make the decision if I can make the decision. If you can't make the decision, I will take it back to the company and find someone who can make the decision. After confirming, I will reply you as soon as possible. , do you think this will work?" Mr. Liu said with a wry smile.

Jiang Hui also knew that it was impossible to have a direct result today. The two parties expressed their willingness to cooperate, and then went back with the other party's conditions for consideration.

"Mr. Liu, you must also know that Hao123 was acquired by me with 2000 million cash and 2% shares of Xiaonei in 123. The cooperation between me and Penguin was also in the form of cash plus shares. I think holding shares is more Everything can better reflect the sincerity of cooperation. If Du Niang wants to continue to maintain the previous cooperation with Hao123, it will be difficult. I will not hide it from you, both Yahoo and Google have the idea of ​​​​acquiring Hao123. If the price is right, I will also It’s not that you don’t consider transferring. I hope that after you go back, you can discuss within the company to see how much you are willing to pay to acquire Hao123. Personally, I am willing to transfer Hao[-] to Du Niang, but in business, if other companies bid If it is higher, then the one with the highest price will get it," Jiang Hui said.

"I understand this truth, but Mr. Jiang, can you disclose your expectations, so that I have a goal to take back to the company for internal review," Mr. Liu said.

"It's hard to say what the specific expectations are. It depends on how Google and Yahoo offer prices. But the principle must be in the form of cash + shares. You go back and see what price you can accept," Jiang Hui said.

"Okay, after I go back to report, I will make an appointment with Mr. Jiang to negotiate again as soon as possible. Before that, Mr. Jiang, you must not sign contracts with other companies first," Mr. Liu said.

"Hehe, shop around and see who bids the most and sells quickly. In the end, I want Mr. Liu to bring a message to Boss Li," Jiang Hui said.

"Please tell me, I will definitely bring it," Mr. Liu said.

"If Yahoo or Google knew the contribution rate of Hao123 to Du Niang's traffic, would Du Niang still be able to grab them?" Jiang Hui said.

Mr. Liu was shocked when he heard this sentence. Du Niang’s traffic source information has always been a high-level secret of the company. Except for Boss Li, only Mr. Liu and other high-level officials knew this information, but listening to what Jiang Hui said, he seemed to be Knowing or guessing that Hao123 has made a significant contribution to Du Niang traffic, it can be foreseen that the next negotiation will be difficult.

……

Mr. Liu and his party who sent Du Niang away, not long after, a group of people from Google arrived.

There is an old saying in the Celestial Dynasty: Foreign monks can chant scriptures, but this is limited to areas that are easy to fool.In terms of search engines, users will know whether it is good or not.Google Chinese always has a bad grasp of the problem of "word segmentation".For example, if a user enters the word "computer", due to a word segmentation error, the word "computer" may be divided into two characters "electricity" and "brain". Yes, it's ridiculous.In this situation, Google Chinese can be described as difficult to start.

Today came Jack, the vice president of the Asia-Pacific region, the head of the Tianchao office, and several entourages.It was supposed to be a small exchange of pleasantries. Although Jiang Hui's English skills were good, it was better to speak Chinese in today's negotiation situation, but it took a lot of work for Google's little beauty to translate.

"Mr. Jiang, our Google company intends to buy Hao123, please make a price?" Jack said his purpose straight to the point at the beginning.

"Mr. Jack, I remember that when you made an appointment with me, I didn't say that I would sell Hao123, did I?" Jiang Hui said.

"No, but there is no company that cannot be sold, as long as the price is right, are you right?" As soon as Jack opened his mouth, the aura of local tyrants came over his face.When Google went public in August this year, its market value reached more than 200 billion US dollars. In the fourth quarter of 2003, its revenue exceeded 123 million US dollars, and it is still growing rapidly. It is really not bad for the acquisition of Hao[-].
