Xu Meng stayed in Shanghai for three days, and went to Tudou every day to get angry at Wensha. Wensha was such a gentle green tea, and once she was forced to curse.
On the fourth day, Xu Yi contacted her and said he wanted to talk again.
So I was still in Yangpu, still in the same cafe.
The weather in Shanghai in February was cold and cool, with plenty of rain. It was rare to see sunshine today. Xu Meng dressed up and put on a pair of black cotton stockings.
Stockings, black stockings and stockings are the most common and the safest.
White and red silk are also acceptable, but blue silk, green silk, vermicelli silk, yellow silk, and rainbow silk are more evil and cannot be grasped by ordinary people.
Xu Meng just has the temperament to wear silk stockings. She has any color in her wardrobe. However, for today's business meeting, she was more serious and chose black stockings.
"Squeak!"
The door was pushed open, and Xu Yi walked in with his slovenly look, followed by a man in a suit, glasses, and a double chin who looked a bit like Cheng Wei.
"This must be Mr. Xu!"
This man was much more skillful than Xu Yi. When he came up, he took the initiative to speak, stretched out his hand and said: "I have admired you for a long time, my name is Chen Rui!"
"Oh, Hello!"
Xu Meng shook hands nonchalantly and said: "I stayed in Shanghai for three days for your small website, which has shown my sincerity. Whether it succeeds or fails today, there will be a result."
"Of course, I hope we can reach an agreement!"
Chen Rui has rich work experience and has also been a boss. Xu Meng is not well-known in the 99 Group. He heard that his background is not very good, but he will not take it lightly.
"You are the only two shareholders of Bilibili right now, right?"
"Yes, it is!"
"That's good. Kendong also knows my conditions. What do you think?"
"..."
Chen Rui paused and asked: "You said you want to acquire it wholly, but what is the valuation of our website?"
"If I had more money, maybe 100 million."
"Dollars?" Xu Yixi said.
"What are you thinking about!"
Xu Meng once again believed that this was a guy who didn't know anything about business, and only said to Chen Rui: "Video websites are no longer popular. The wave has long passed, and the pattern has been set. You have less than 1 million members, so the price I gave you is considered benevolent and righteous."
"
“Based on the data, the price is very reasonable.”
Chen Rui stopped Xu Yi and said with a smile: "But you have to know that although station B was born out of station A, it has the potential to catch up and surpass us. We are the largest two-dimensional platform in the country.
The fact that you came to us because you are attracted by the huge two-dimensional market proves that our value is not just worth 100 million."
"That's for the future. If you talk about the ultimate value before you get started, then Mai Li will be valued at US$4 billion from the start!"
"This can be done slowly. I have analyzed Mai Li and it seems that you are not good at operating the second dimension, which is what we are good at. We can completely do it ourselves, introduce other investments, and expand and go public in the future. Why do we do it now?
What about accepting your 100 million acquisition?
Or do you think that only you can see our potential and no one else can?"
Yo!
This is a sharp-tongued person!
Xu Meng was new to human affairs and felt a little panicked. Scenes of Mr. Yu and Mr. Yao's teachings flashed through her mind. She kept her face calm and said calmly: "You can tell me your conditions."
"I very much welcome your investment. The shares can be negotiated, but if you buy it outright, I'm sorry, but I can't accept it. I heard that your plan is to make Station B a two-dimensional base.
This goal is what we want to achieve, but just achieving this goal is not enough. If Station B wants to truly grow, it must open up its content and introduce more value."
This is where the problem lies!
But she still wanted to fight for it, saying: "You may not know our future plans. Station B can set up a film and television company in the future to produce its own animation works; it can develop a comic channel as a base for national comics; it can develop games.
As a distribution channel for games; you can enter live broadcasting, you know live broadcasting is very popular now..."
"Ah!"
Chen Rui smiled, shook his head and said: "These plans of yours are very conventional. In other words, this is what will be done naturally after Bilibili grows. We can do the same by introducing financing."
"..."
Xu Meng was a little discouraged. She was talking about being an anchor, and the business negotiations were almost impossible. She simply stopped talking and asked: "Let me confirm, is it your common intention not to accept the acquisition?"
"Uh, yes!"
Xu Yi had no choice but to answer that Chen Rui had a lot of shares, and he couldn't buy them if he didn't agree.
"Okay, your goal is to become bigger and stronger?"
"What's wrong?"
"You have to know that the largest comprehensive platform now is Maili."
Xu Meng came closer, looked at Chen Rui and smiled: "In other words, you are declaring that you are our enemy?"
"no……"
Chen Rui was a little confused. He didn't expect that she could change the topic to this.
"Okay, your goals are very ambitious, I accept the challenge!"
"I'll buy this cup!"
Xu Meng paid the bill again, picked up his bag and left without talking anymore.
Damn it!!!
Chen Rui panicked, this is not Yao Shengren's style!
Normally, if the negotiation fails and the acquisition fails, the company will switch to investment, or give up, how come this person just started doing it?
I wanted the other party to invest!!
At this stage, the Internet landscape is clear. 99, Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent are beginning to dominate. They are no longer the rookies pecking each other, but are investing in acquisitions and joining forces.
Each company is improving its own ecosystem and expanding its territory.
But colleagues in the industry may not have adapted yet, especially those small companies. They don’t know that a capital era of “treating guests, beheading them, and accepting them as dogs” is about to come.
Only when you have overcome it can you be qualified to gain a foothold in the world.
…………
Xu Meng returned to the capital that day.
When I got back, I gave the order: "Keep an eye on Bilibili's editors and UP owners. Each one will be counted as one, 3 times the salary, or 5 times if it doesn't work, and poach them for me!"
Station B is currently small in scale and has not many staff.
The so-called UP owners are all ghosts, editors, two-dimensional songs, and animation producers. How can they make any money? They all rely on love to generate electricity.
Mai Li was directly recruited:
"Come here, we have a creator support plan and platform sharing. As long as your works are played as many times as you want, you can get as much money as you want!"
"Besides, you are newcomers. We have a monthly guarantee for newcomers and will give you free money!"
Station B was born out of Station A, Mai Li was born out of Station B, and now they are using Station B's methods to fight back - of course, only Yao Yuan knows these connotations.
In the eyes of outsiders, there is no such thing as Station B. Maili is the one who dares to be the first in the world.
It was too easy for big platforms to deal with small websites. In a short period of time, all the UP owners of station B stopped broadcasting, defected one after another, and the staff also changed jobs one after another.
Chen Rui was even more panicked.
He invested five million, it can’t be wasted!
All he wanted now was for the other party to stop and everything could be easily discussed. Just when he was in a state of despair, I suddenly slapped him in the face and said, "By the way, I can find someone!"
