【Three updates today, the third update will be later.】
Wang Xiang didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhou Hong, so he took his own team of auditors and directly expressed to Zhou Hong that he was willing to acquire 3721.
Such a sudden surprise surprised Zhou Hong.
And when Zhou Hong learned that Wang Xiang was actually the CEO of Changtian Technology, he felt even more emotional.
Zhou Hong jokingly said to Wang Xiang: "If it weren't for Changtian Technology, I can guarantee that the installed capacity of my 3721 assistant would reach more than 70 million. Our 3721 navigation website must be more profitable than your 11181."
Wang Xiang completely believed what Zhou Hong said.
Because the 3721 plug-in is a rogue plug-in, he uses both methods that can make money and methods that cannot.
After a user accidentally installs this plug-in, various advertisements will pop up endlessly.
The IE homepage will also be locked as the 3721 navigation page. Once you enter the navigation page, of course there will be all kinds of messy things.
The most important thing is pornography, gambling and drugs.
The 11181 website pays more attention to user experience. Even if there are advertisements, they will only appear in the appropriate range and will not fill the screen.
Advertisements for pornography, gambling, and drugs will not appear on the 11181 website at all.
Zhou Hong and Chen Xiao in this era have two completely different personalities.
What Zhou Hong wants is a one-shot deal to harvest more leeks in the fastest way and earn more money.
Whether Chen Xiao founded 11181 King or Yinghuo OS, he focused on long-term success and making the Internet environment of Xia State better.
Zhou Hong also knows his current situation. It is better to have someone acquire him than no one to acquire him.
"20 million." Zhou Hong offered the price.
Wang Xiang smiled, "If I come to find you in a year, 3721 may not be here."
Zhou Hong felt a little embarrassed, and what Wang Xiang said was indeed true.
Wang Xiang said: "We have done enough homework before looking for you. The current market value of the 3721 website is about 35 million, but if it is actually listed at this price, I am afraid there will be no capital willing to take over."
Because this 35 million is just a valuation, based on 3721's current profit situation, next year's profits will plummet, and the valuation will shrink further.
No one wants to buy a company whose foundation is losing money.
Wang Xiang said: "So currently we are willing to fully acquire 3721 at a price of 10 million, which is 10 million in cash."
The price of 10 million was really too low, and Zhou Hong was very reluctant.
But Wang Xiang immediately made a big cake for him.
"After we fully acquire 3721, we will restructure the equity of 3721 and divide it into Class A shares and Class B shares. You can hold Class B shares with dividend rights, 10% of the dividend shares."
"And we will continue to hire you as the CEO of 3721. The basic salary is 500,000. Based on the shares you hold, 3721 will give you a dividend of about 10% at the end of the year."
10 million in cash is indeed very low, but if you add in the 10% of Class B shares after the acquisition and the better development possibilities that Changtian Technology brings to 3721, Zhou Hong is still a little excited.
The most important reason why Chen Xiao was willing to give Zhou Hong 10% of 3721 shares was because he took a fancy to Zhou Hong's marketing genius.
When it comes to anti-virus software technology, Changtian Technology definitely has it, and Zhou Hong is not needed at all.
But a talent like Zhou Hong, who can counterattack in desperate situations and become a gangster leader, is definitely worth the price.
This deal is still a very good deal.
Zhou Hong became excited immediately.
He did make a lot of money doing 3721.
But all the profits in the past two years have been invested in advertising and marketing of major Internet companies.
But because the expansion of the 11181 website is so rapid.
Now, instead of making any money, Zhou Hong is actually losing some money.
And Zhou Hong is currently struggling to support himself.
Being able to get 10 million in cash is a very good ending for 3721.
Otherwise, we will go bankrupt and lose a penny.
There is also a 10% dividend at the end of each year, and Zhou Hong currently feels quite satisfied.
But Zhou Hong now has two problems.
"Am I acquired by Changtian Technology?"
"What kind of tasks will 3721 undertake after being acquired? How can we ensure there will be dividends at the end of the year?"
Wang Xiang smiled and said to Zhou Hong: "Privately, the 3721 website was indeed acquired by Changtian Technology, but this is not the case on the surface."
"On the surface, the 3721 website was acquired by a company called Xunjie Network Company (a leather bag company of Changtian Technology)."
"You want to ask how 3721 will make money in the future? Now I can tell you - free anti-virus software."
"What!
!”
Zhou Hong was surprised immediately.
Having been working on the Internet for so long, Zhou Hong certainly knows that anti-virus software is a good thing.
Currently, the main way to make money for anti-virus software is through payment.
But almost all computers require anti-virus software, and the price of each anti-virus software ranges from dozens to hundreds of dollars.
Taking the minimum consumer price of 50 yuan per year as an example, Xia Guo has 80 million users, even if only 1/100 of the users use your product.
Then there are 800,000 households, and the annual sales are 40 million!
This profit is quite terrifying.
Now Wang Xiang actually wants to make free anti-virus software.
In today's world where paid software is rampant, if free anti-virus software comes out, it will definitely occupy the entire market very quickly.
But how does free make money?
Zhou Hong asked this question.
"We won't make a profit in the first few years, so Mr. Zhou, you can only get a basic salary of 500,000 in the first two years."
"But in two years, we will occupy the entire Windows system anti-virus software market. You can make whatever profit you want at that time!"
Zhou Hong is not a fool and he reacted immediately.
Antivirus software is a window for manufacturers to intervene in the client's computer.
This principle is the same as the original 3721 Assistant.
If only free anti-virus software could occupy more than 50% of the market among all users.
At that time, whether it was promotion or advertising, everything was a huge profit.
Zhou Hong has a background in making rogue software, and he really knows what to do.
But Zhou Hong had one last question.
"Do we buy our anti-virus software engines from abroad? Better anti-virus software engines from abroad are quite expensive, at least more than 300 million yuan."
Xia Guo's anti-virus software companies, including Jingshan, are indeed developing their own anti-virus software engines.
However, its effect is not very good, so commercial domestic anti-virus software on the market has been using foreign engines and technologies.
Wang Xiang smiled and replied: "We don't need to buy any technology. Changtian Technology has all the core technologies."
Having said this, Zhou Hong has nothing to say.
On the same day, the company's financial team was asked to cooperate with Changtian Technology's audit team, and the two parties completed the acquisition agreement.
Xunjie Technology, the leather bag company of Changtian Technology, acquired the dying 3721 Company for 10 million RMB in cash.
In addition to the acquisition agreement, Zhou Hong also signed a confidentiality agreement with legal effect.
He immediately accepted the anti-virus software engine provided by Changtian Technology and was prepared to have a week to package it and then launch it immediately.
After seeing such an anti-virus software engine with such rich content and such advanced technology, Zhou Hong was simply stunned.
If this thing were free, the entire Xia Guo anti-virus software market would be in a bloody mess, with not even a blade of grass growing!
