One day later, Zhang Ke called Chen Xiao and hoped to interview Chen Xiao again.
This time, both parties chose a teahouse not far from Chen Xiao’s home.
Zhang Ke was a little surprised when he saw Chen Xiao walking out of the family area of the machinery factory.
According to their valuation and profit judgment of the 11181 website, Chen Xiao should not be short of money. How could he live in such a poor place?
Chen Xiao saw Zhang Ke's surprise and said: "Small cities are not as big as big places. There are still relatively few commercial properties in Jiangcheng, so I haven't moved."
Everyone is engaged in the Internet. How much profit does the 11181 website make? Zhang Ke and others can see it at a glance.
Although he couldn't get rich overnight, it was more than enough to buy a property in a small county, so Chen Xiao was not modest or concealed.
In the tea house, Zhang Ke took the document from the assistant, handed it over and said: "We basically agree with Mr. Chen's plan, but we have some different opinions on the equity. This is the framework for cooperation. Take a look first.
."
No one was in a hurry. Chen Yang was drinking tea and slowly looking at the cooperation framework agreement.
Except for some wording that needs to be revised, there is nothing else.
As for the terms of share exchange, you need to fill in the terms.
Zhang Ke said: "Mr. Chen, what do you think of this plan of exchanging 20% of the equity of the 11181 website for 1% of the equity of Baidu?"
"You also know that Baidu has just completed its first round of financing in the first half of the year and is now favored by IDG, so Baidu's market value is on the rise."
Chen Xiao did not immediately deny Zhang Ke's proposal, but said: "It is true that whiteness is currently on the rise, and our 11181 website is also on the rise, based on the current market share and user frequency."
"I think some angel investment institutions may have paid attention to our website. If I continue to run the website according to the current business method, it won't take long before I can get angel investment."
Chen Xiao said: "So now that the 11181 website and Baidu are exchanging shares, Baidu will not suffer."
"After cooperating with your company, if the website develops well, Baidu will gain more profits, and Baidu's market share will also increase significantly."
I have to say that every word Chen Xiao said was spoken in Baidu's heart.
However, Zhang Ke still mentioned: "It is difficult for us to agree to asking Baidu to pay 5% of the equity."
"Our suggestion is to exchange shares based on the valuation of both companies."
"1% is a very reasonable result."
Chen Xiao stopped talking nonsense with Zhang Ke and said: "The 11181 website will pay 15% of the shares in exchange for 2.5% of Baidu's shares. If the deal is completed, we will cooperate immediately."
2.5% is a bit beyond Zhang Ke's range, but he felt that this cooperation would be beneficial to Baidu. Zhang Ke immediately reported to the headquarters and then determined the value of 2.5%.
Zhang Ke stopped talking nonsense and directly signed the cooperation framework and filled in the corresponding shares.
Chen Xiao also signed his name, and each party will keep one copy.
The two sides stood up, shook hands and said: "Happy cooperation!"
Zhang Ke will leave the follow-up matters to people from the Legal Department and the Finance Department.
Chen Xiao said to Zhang Ke: "Minister Zhang, I have a small request."
Zhang Ke said: "Now we are a family. If you have any requests, just ask."
Chen Xiao smiled and said: "About Shengda and Legend."
…
That night, Chen Xiao modified the backend of the 11181 website and displayed Baidu's search bar in the middle of the homepage.
And advertise Baidu in the most prominent position.
The slogan is very simple but catchy: "Search the world on Baidu!"
Chen Xiao, who was lying on the bed, still couldn't believe it.
It is absolutely impossible not to be excited. After all, after this cooperation, Chen Xiao can be regarded as one of Baidu's shareholders.
From now on, even if I do nothing and wait for Baidu to be released, I will still be able to eat a lot.
Chen Xiao is even preparing to recruit talents. After all, he can no longer divide his energy alone. He needs computer talents to help him manage the website.
Early that morning, Chen Xiao went to the newsstand at the door as usual to buy this issue of Computer Enthusiast Magazine.
The old man at the newsstand and Chen Xiao are old acquaintances.
The uncle also knows that Chen Xiao is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in this province this year, so he often gives Chen Xiao some expired readers, National Geographic and other periodicals.
The old man doesn’t know the specific situation of Chen Xiao’s family, but he always feels that children with excellent grades must read a lot of books.
Chen Xiao also happily accepted the old man's love. He would buy some magazines from the newsstand from time to time, which could be regarded as taking care of the old man's business.
But on this day, the old man's expression was obviously a little strange.
When Chen Xiao was about to take "Computer Enthusiast" away, the old man handed "Jiangyang Daily" to Chen Xiao and said: "You are in the newspaper."
"Jiangyang Daily" is a provincial-level media, and its level is much higher than "Jiangcheng Daily" and "Jiangzhou Daily".
Chen Xiao smiled and said: "What qualifications do I have to be in the newspaper?"
Soon, when Chen Xiao opened the newspaper, he got his answer.
A commentator's article is registered in a prominent position on the A2 page of the newspaper.
The title of the article is "Can a genius boy turn to the illegal path?"
Chen Xiao: “??!
"
What the hell is this?
Chen Xiao read the contents of the newspaper in detail.
The report did not use Chen Xiao’s real name, but the pseudonym Li Hua.
But the article mentioned by name that Li Hua was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Jiangyang.
This is obviously just talking about Chen Xiao. Isn’t it superfluous?!
The content of the article is more attractive.
The general idea is to say that Chen Xiao did not follow the right path when using his skills. Instead, he was doing cheats to make money. However, this kind of business obviously violated the interests of Legend and was an unfair profit.
The article also said that although the country currently does not have corresponding laws and regulations to regulate cheating incidents, this matter will ultimately be illegal in the future.
As the top scorer in the college entrance examination, Li Hua has lost the moral norms and codes of conduct that a college student should have by doing this. I would like to ask, should colleges and universities accept such college students?
Commentator articles have their corresponding writing patterns.
He will not make a corresponding judgment immediately, but will comment on the matter. As for how to judge, he will leave the choice to the readers of the newspaper.
In fact, this kind of article is very vicious, almost putting Chen Xiao on the fire rack.
The article neither investigated to understand the truth clearly nor ignored the law.
As a provincial media, he must have been under some pressure to be able to publish such a commentator's article.
Because in this era, apart from the political and international sections, media outlets like Jiangyang Daily mostly report on trivial matters related to people's livelihood, mothers-in-law and mothers.
For example, the ditch needs to be repaired somewhere, or there was a car accident somewhere.
I rarely care about new things like the Internet.
Sheng Da was probably angry and directly used his body weight to put pressure on Chen Xiao.
If Jiangzhou University saw such news, would it accept the pressure of public opinion and admit Chen Xiao as originally planned?
Or even if Chen Xiao is admitted, will Chen Xiao be given a scholarship as originally planned?
Similarly, the education departments of Jiangzhou City and Jiangcheng City have just awarded Chen Xiao a scholarship. After seeing such reports, they will also be under pressure from public opinion.
