After Chen Xiao announced the decision, Wang Xiang, Wen Qi and others showed happy smiles on their faces.
This decision can already explain the attitude of Changtian Technology.
Westerners may not use the series of applications of the Yinghuo ecological chain, but they must not waste them, let alone make them wedding dresses for Western technology companies.
Changtian Technology’s acquisition letter was sent out in two ways: public and non-public.
The public letter was posted directly on the official website of Changtian Technology, while the non-public letter was sent to Douyin’s headquarters.
Now, the entire Internet is buzzing with excitement.
On the hot searches on Weibo that day, Changtian Technology’s intention to acquire Douyin became the number one hot search.
This topic has been forwarded tens of millions of times and its popularity continues to grow.
"Changtian Technology is amazing! This is to teach Dou Sheng how to be a good person!"
"Haha, Changtian Technology can't stand it. DouSheng's overseas TK company is too cowardly overseas."
“Support Changtian Technology’s acquisition of Douyin!”
"Now, a difficult problem is posed in front of Dou Sheng. If TK company is sold to Facebook, then Changtian Technology will terminate its cooperation with Dou Sheng, and Dou Sheng's domestic business will be over! If TK is not sold
If the company is sold to Facebook, then Dou Sheng’s overseas business will also be finished! Hahahaha!”
Netizens don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, but it is indeed the case.
Xia Guo, Yanjing.
TikTok parent company character company headquarters.
The founder, Chairman Zhang Wen and CEO Liang Bo were sitting in the conference room.
Everyone has the feeling of riding a tiger with a hard time getting off.
After all, the character company has prepared all the information, and just waiting for Facebook and Zhang Wen to sign, the two parties will reach a deal.
TK Company will be sold to Facebook for 50 billion U.S. dollars.
Facebook is very confident in this acquisition and is determined to win. It has even sent an advance team to directly enter TK's major departments in the United States to prepare for Facebook to take over the entire deal.
Is this word signed or not signed now?
Zhang Wen didn't pay attention in his heart. He asked Liang Bo: "What does Changtian Technology mean by sending such a letter?"
Although Zhang Wen is the founder of Character Company, he generally works at the strategic level, not the tactical level.
Therefore, Liang Bo is the one who has more dealings with Changtian Technology.
Zhang Wen has always believed that Changtian Technology would not be able to complete an acquisition worth tens of billions with an announcement or official letter. This would be too childish.
Therefore, Zhang Wen said: "Do you think Changtian Technology is joking?"
But Liang Bo has more contact with Changtian Technology, and of course he knows that Changtian Technology always tells the truth.
Whether it is an announcement or a promise, it will definitely be done.
So Liang Bo said seriously: "Changtian Technology never does meaningless things, and never uses gimmicks and lies to attract traffic. They have no need."
"I think this letter sent by Changtian Technology means that they really want to acquire Douyin."
After Zhang Wen heard this, he was so angry that he almost cursed his mother!
“Acquiring Douyin? What does this mean?”
Liang Bo said helplessly: "That's the literal meaning."
Zhang Wen said: "In other words, if we don't sell, will Changtian Technology terminate the cooperation with us?"
Liang Bo nodded and said: "According to the character of Changtian Technology, it is like this, and for Changtian Technology, we are just a part of the ecological chain, and we are not an irreplaceable part. There are many more behind Dou Sheng.
Chaibing, in addition to Kuaifei, Penguin also plans to get a share of short videos, virtual short videos and virtual scenes. If Changtian Technology stops cooperating with us, then our content and software will only be available on Android phones and Apple
It can be displayed on mobile phones but cannot be displayed on mobile phones and wearable devices using the Firefly operating system, which has a huge impact on us."
Zhang Wen nodded and fell into deep thought.
What Liang Bo said makes sense.
Changtian Technology is irreplaceable for Douyin.
After all, the mobile phones used by most users in Xia Guo are Hanhai mobile phones, Nokia and Bird mobile phones.
More and more users are also using wearable devices.
The wearable devices are also from Changtian Technology.
Therefore, Zhang Wen felt that what Liang Bo said was very reasonable.
Dou Sheng is inseparable from the support of Changtian Technology, but Chang Tian Technology still has many other applications without Dou Sheng.
Zhang Wen was very confused in his heart.
Zhang Wen has always had the same mentality when dealing with Americans during this period.
That is, the main business of Zizi Company is in China, and the main business of Douyin is also in China.
Therefore, domestic business cannot be thrown away, as it is the bulk of the money.
Overseas business is the icing on the cake, and you can earn as much as you want.
Therefore, the strategy for foreign countries is to gain some advantages if they can.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Wenhui requires the company to make unrestricted compromises in the American market.
Because they believe from the bottom of their hearts that making some money in overseas markets is not the main development direction of Dou Sheng.
Even if you sell your overseas company and earn 50 billion U.S. dollars, this is still a windfall.
But it's different now.
Now Aerospace Science and Technology actually wants to overturn its old nest.
Directly facing the domestic market.
If the character company loses its domestic market.
So what is the significance of the existence of character companies?
It's completely meaningless.
After repeated discussions.
Zhang Wen finally chose to compromise.
Foreign companies can joke, but domestic companies cannot.
Therefore, Zhang Wen instructed Liang Bo to go to Changze Prefecture immediately to negotiate with Changtian Technology as soon as possible to understand the true intentions of Aerospace Technology.
Zhang Wen needs to figure out the true intention of Chatian Technology before deciding whether to sell tk to the United States.
Wang Xiang received Liang Bo and his party in Changze Prefecture.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Liang Bo also anxiously told the truth about his visit to Changze Prefecture.
That is, Changtian Technology sent a letter saying that it would acquire the entire Douyin company. Is it a joke or serious?
Wang Xiang felt very helpless after hearing Liang Bo ask this.
What era is this?
There are actually people who doubt the strategic purpose of Changtian Technology.
Wang Xiang nodded without any concealment and said: "Are you questioning the credit ability of Changtian Technology?"
Wang Xiang also seriously came up with Changtian Technology’s plan to acquire Douyin.
Changtian Technology will invest 100 billion U.S. dollars to fully acquire Douyin’s domestic and foreign businesses.
There is no need to say anything else.
Liang Bo had a huge headache when he got such acquisition conditions.
He wanted to slam the table, curse and leave.
The current market value of Douyin should be around 300 billion US dollars.
Among them, the market value of the domestic part is more than 230 billion U.S. dollars, and the overseas part should be around 70 billion U.S. dollars.
Changtian Technology actually offered a price of only 100 billion U.S. dollars and wanted to acquire Douyin?
Isn't this a joke?
Liang Bo wanted to be angry, but he knew he couldn't do this.
Because he knows that the reason why Dousen is successful now and has its current market value is inseparable from the entire ecological chain of Changtian Technology.
If Changtian Technology cancels support for Douyin at this time.
Then the market value of Douyin is likely to fall below 100 billion US dollars.
Without Changtian Technology’s platform, Dou Sheng would not have its current market value.
Therefore, the price offered by Changtian Technology cannot be said to be outrageously wrong, but it just hits Dou Sen's spine.
Looking at Liang Bo's helpless smile, he joked: "Mr. Liang seems not very satisfied with the price we offered?"
Liang Bo is not a fool.
Of course he knew there was something in Wang Xiang's words.
What Wang Xiang means is that they are all willing to sell themselves to American companies at a low price of 50 billion yuan without even resisting.
So the price offered by Changtian Technology is 100 billion yuan, which is considered very good.
The price offered by Changtian Technology is clearly an insult to Dou Sheng, and it is also using its ecological rights advantage to force Dou Sheng to make a choice.
In fact, Changtian Technology does not want to do this easily.
Changtian Technology has established an ecosystem, and its purpose is not to oppress a certain company and make concessions to Changtian Technology in terms of interests.
Rather, we hope to build a platform so that all companies, including Douyin, can prosper and develop.
But Dou Sheng’s utilitarianism is really too strong.
And it is a bottomless compromise to foreign countries.
This made Changtian Technology angry.
Don't you want to compromise?
Then compromise at home first and then compromise at home and abroad.
Liang Bo laughed twice and said: "Mr. Wang is joking, Douyin is just a video company, and it is not in the eyes of Changtian Technology."
"If Mr. Wang is dissatisfied with our sharing agreement, we can discuss the sharing again."
As a franchise company of Yinghuo ecological chain.
Like other franchised companies, the profits earned by Douyin must be shared with Changtian Technology.
In order to encourage more application companies to join its production chain, Changtian Technology.
This share of revenue is very small, much lower than Apple's take.
So Liang Bo hopes to learn the true intentions of Changtian Technology through this method.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xiang seemed a little angry after hearing this.
Wang Xiang smiled and said to Liang Bo: "Do you think the official letter issued by Changtian Technology is a joke?"
"If Mr. Liang is not satisfied with the purchase price, we can discuss it again."
"You can pay back the price, or express your disagreement."
Liang Bo could only accept the acquisition agreement of Yangtze Technology with great embarrassment, and quickly asked the staff to scan the agreement into an electronic version and send it to the headquarters.
Express disagreement?
He was very worried that Douyin would be kicked out of the Firefly ecological chain after expressing his disagreement.
Zhang Wen's headquarters in Yanjing was anxiously waiting for news about Liang Bobian.
He still held a little hope in his heart.
Even if Changtian Technology is joking, its purpose is still to distribute more profits from Dou Sheng.
When he got the exact news from Liang Bo, he was uneasy.
Changtian Technology is not joking, but is talking about acquisitions very seriously.
Zhang Wen was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry at this time, and he was feeling panicked in his heart.
Of course he knows what Changtian Technology’s mentality is.
Changtian Technology is telling Zhang Wen that if you can sell TK Company at a low price regardless of the ecological balance of Yinghuo, then Changtian Technology can also sell Douyin Company.
Changtian Technology is not joking, it is serious.
Zhang Wen also immediately called the overseas company headquarters and asked the U.S. headquarters to stop the sale of TK Company.
He didn't dare to play with fire anymore.
If TK Company is banned by the United States, it will be gone. At worst, the market value will shrink a bit and the annual profits will be smaller.
But Douyin Company is its foundation and cannot make any mistakes.
Los Angeles.
TK Headquarters.
Today was originally the day when Zuckerberg’s Facebook signed a contract with TK Company.
Zuckerberg personally led the team to the TK headquarters in Los Angeles.
This signing ceremony between the two parties also attracted the attention of major media around the world.
Relevant funds have been prepared.
In order to obtain TK Company, Zuckerberg won despite the brutal competition among American technology companies.
But in fact, it secretly provides some benefits to other American technology giants.
Among American technology giants, it has never been a zero-sum game, but a mutual compromise between interests.
Zuckerberg walked into the office building of tk headquarters. Countless media swarmed up and pointed their cameras and microphones at Zuckerberg.
"Mr. Mark (Mark Zuckerberg), will you complete the acquisition of TK today?"
"Mr. Mark, will the Facebook team move into TK today?"
Zuckerberg originally wanted to answer these questions from reporters after the contract was signed.
But now it seems that I can't get through it without saying a few words.
Zuckerberg smiled and said to the camera: "Everything will go smoothly. Our team has been connecting with the TK team a few weeks ago and is ready for today's acquisition."
This is how Zuckerberg answers questions. He never cares what questions reporters ask, he just answers what he wants to answer.
Zuckerberg also said: "I would also like to say to the majority of user friends here, don't worry, your account will remain as usual, and your experience will be better."
After saying this, Zuckerberg entered TK Company.
At this moment, Song Lian received an urgent call from the Xia Kingdom headquarters, which was called by Zhang Wen himself.
Zhang Wen was in a hurry on the phone, but said in a mother-like tone: "Immediately terminate the agreement with Facebook. TK Company will not be sold. Even if it is fined and bankrupted by the Americans and cannot operate in the United States, we will not be able to operate in the United States."
Not for sale."
The sudden request from the headquarters made Song Lian overjoyed!
This is the true inner thought of countless Xia Guo executives.
Xia people can die standing, but it is absolutely impossible to live kneeling.
Watching Zuckerberg's team enter the conference room, Song Lian also smiled.
He waited quietly for Zuckerberg's team to come up with the after-sales agreement, and then said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Mark, I think our previous cooperation has to be suspended."
"I just received an order from the company headquarters that TK Company will not be sold."
