296 Lu Yun is in the fifth layer, Lu Fei is in the atmosphere
"Old Zhou, bad news."
Zhou Hongyi swore to reject Lu Fei's kindness, and received a reply from IDG the next morning -
Google did not agree to meet.
"Why? Why don't you agree!"
Zhou Hongyi was extremely depressed. His first choice of foreign aid was Google. After all, it had the best search technology in the world, which was what 3721 lacked and urgently needed.
"Google has not paid enough attention to China."
Xiong Xiaoge earnestly persuaded to accept the mediation, and he was willing to endure the hardships. Three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu!
"No, how can a man be capricious!"
Zhou Hongyi secretly rejoiced that he had made two preparations. He asked IDG to connect with Google and came to Ali Baba at the same time.
In the autumn of Hangzhou, the city is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus, which tells the story of autumn. In the Ali Baba Park, ginkgo leaves have fallen and the ground is covered with golden light.
"Old Zhou!"
Lu Yun personally greeted him, stretched out his hands, and said, "We said goodbye after discussing swords in the West Lake, and we meet again."
Zhou Hongyi shook hands with him and felt the burning enthusiasm. He was invited to his "Peach Blossom Island" office, where dazzling swords were displayed on the cabinet shelves.
Cai Chongxin stood up from the traditional Chinese chair and exchanged greetings.
After getting acquainted, the three people sat around the wooden tea table. Lu Yun handed him a cup of tea and said bluntly:
"Lao Zhou, what do you think?"
"Mr. Lu, are you still willing to give 3721 a bad reputation now?" Zhou Hongyi was surprised and moved.
"certainly!"
Lu Yun waved his hand, "60 million U.S. dollars, absolutely unchanged."
"This...this..."
Zhou Hongyi was moved, but business is business. 15% of Sogou's equity can be exchanged for 15.5 million, with a valuation of 103 million US dollars. Why is 3721 worth so much?
Although you and I are close friends, we still have to pay more!
"Lao Zhou, how much do you think the price will be?"
Lu Yun and Cai Chongxin made eye contact. Although 3721 has a bad reputation, it has healthy cash flow, hundreds of millions of flows, and sales channels, which are all what Ahri needs.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"My estimate is not high, only 100 million."
Zhou Hongyi added: "I'm talking about beautiful swords."
"Emm, why not take a break, 80 million."
Lu Yun stated his psychological price and said sincerely:
"If the two companies merge, I will go out to raise funds and exchange shares. After the exchange, the shares you hold will be even higher than those of Lao Cai and me..."
Although Zhou Hongyi was moved, he was disappointed.
What 3721 merged was technology, followed by money. For the sake of technology, less money is nothing, but Ali has no technical content. After the merger, 3721's technical shortcomings have not been filled.
When he was about to refuse, Lu Yun suddenly drew a cake.
Ahri is about to form a strategic alliance with Yahoo, and Yahoo may take a stake or even hand over Yahoo China to Ahri.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Zhou Hongyi was immediately moved, this is Yahoo!
Although technically inferior to Google, it is not inferior to Baidu and Sogou, and it has swallowed up Yahoo China’s market share. The pattern of China’s search engine traffic will become——
Baidu 33.1%, Sogou 30.2%, and 3721, which swallowed up Yahoo, reached 34.5%, directly ranking first!
"Lao Zhou, do you think I am a liar?"
Lu Yun smiled and continued to feed Mr. Zhou to eat cakes.
It was promised that after the merger, he would serve as the CTO, and the technology research and development and search engine would be owned by him. By then, Ali Baba would be the No. 1 search portal in the country, No. 1 in the world, and No. 5 in the country.
The throne of the second e-commerce company in the country is not within easy reach!
"Mr. Zhou, the valuation of Ahri in the last round was US$250 million. How much do you think this series will be worth after it is put into operation?"
Cai Chongxin asked: "How much will the shares you hold be worth?"
Zhou Hongyi's heart was pounding. If there was not a trace of reason left, he would have agreed immediately and took a sip of tea to calm his brain.
"Can you give me a few days to think about it?"
"Of course, it will take time for Ahri to talk to Yahoo."
Lu Yun secretly exerted pressure, but the implication was that once Ahri and Yahoo reached an alliance, 3721 would be insignificant and dispensable.
Zhou Hongyi naturally understood and left excitedly and nervously.
Watching him disappear on "Peach Blossom Island", Cai Chongxin's face changed drastically, and the calmness just now was gone:
"Aren't you lying to him? In alliance with Yahoo, Masayoshi Son just agreed to pull the strings."
"Can we say 'cheating' about businessmen?"
Lu Yun shrugged, "And I didn't lie to him. I only said 'soon', and 'soon' could be days, months, or years."
"What if we merge and he discovers the truth?"
Cai Chongxin shook his head but did not object. Only by tying 3721 to Ahri would he have more confidence and bargaining chips to negotiate with Yahoo.
"You got on my pirate ship and you still want to get off?"
Lu Yun touched his chin and showed a sly smile, "Now we are waiting for his reply. Instead of talking about this, we still talk about Double Eleven. This is the most important thing.
What’s going on at Feigou.com?”
………………
"A total of 112 brands have joined this time, 87 more than last year... The planned c2c self-operated brands will expand their business scope from furniture and kitchenware to clothing and daily chemicals, 3C digital, toys and electrical appliances, a total of 10 brands
Approved……"
In Hailong Building, Liu Edong was giving a report non-stop.
The entire plan, from brand selection, to discount promotions, to live broadcast arrangements, does not miss any detail.
“In the ‘Cooking Oil Safe Oil’ campaign, 10 companies including Luhua, Changshouhua, Xiwang, and Fulinmen were selected, but they all complained about not allowing them to put soybean oil on the shelves.”
"How do you reply?"
"I fully agree with you, just say that soybean oil is sparse and common, and genetically modified soybeans have hidden dangers. This time we strive to promote safe and healthy oils and build a domestic mid-to-high-end brand."
"Yes, that's it."
Lu Fei crossed his hands with a mysterious smile on his face.
Liu Edong thought it was weird, but he didn't ask to the end, because Mr. Lu always did the right thing, including the fact that this time the stage was arranged to be lmusic2, and the finale was given to low-priced computers.
Even, tilt a lot of resources and subsidies.
However, he completely agreed, Mr. Lu was so opinionated!
Promoting the popularization of broadband and PCs will not only benefit computer manufacturers, but also consumers, and most importantly, all industries engaged in the Internet will benefit.
Feigou.com will benefit even more.
Not only can low-price computers attract huge traffic, but also because of the popularization of computers, the base of Internet users will grow exponentially, and the scale of online shopping groups will naturally expand.
What is a big cake!
What is a win-win? It means winning twice!
But Liu Edong was standing on the fifth floor, while Lu Fei was in the atmosphere.
He not only considered Feigou.com, but also considered the logical industrial layout. The Kindle reader would accumulate experience and technology for tablet computers, and the lMusic player would accumulate technology and capital for mobile phones.
The prototypes of the two thighs have been formed, and the computer leg has to be connected!
Mr. Lu wants to win three times. Although there are many computer manufacturers, he only chooses domestic cooperation. Founder, Great Wall... are on the list...
The first thing I saw was the Great Wall.
As the earliest computer brand in China, the first Chinese computer with independent intellectual property rights came from it.
The first computer hard drive, the first monitor, the light pen graphic display terminal, the first terminal ASIC chip...
Everything comes from it, but since the joint venture with IBM, it has given up its martial arts, abandoned independent research and development, and has become a modern factory.
"Mr. Lu, are you kidding me?"
Zhou Gengshen, as the negotiator, thought he had heard wrongly.
"If the price is three to five thousand, how much does the Great Wall make? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Oh, why can Shenzhou be sold so cheaply?"
Lu Fei knocked on the table, "Is Wu Haijun a fool who loses money and makes a profit?"
"He's not stupid, he's bad!"
Zhou Gengshen strongly criticized Shenzhou for shrinking, cutting corners, and poor after-sales service. He named a lot of faults.
"The computers manufactured by Great Wall to Lianxiang and IBM are absolutely guaranteed to be of high quality and sell for seven to eight thousand, which is great value for money..."
"Mr. Zhou, everyone is an insider."
Lu Fei interrupted directly, "You are a thousand-year-old fox, what are you singing about?"
The reason why PC prices remain high is due to the opacity of the market. Isn't it because the old computer companies maintain an unwritten tacit understanding not to engage in price wars and enjoy high premiums with peace of mind.
The entire domestic PC industry needs a catfish.
However, the Great Wall was unwilling.
Zhou Gengshen said bluntly: "Mr. Lu, I won't agree to this price, and even the senior management of Great Wall will not agree, but I can give you a suggestion. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Just say it."
"Mr. Lu's Logic has strength and brand. Why not leave the low-priced computers to Logic? Great Wall is willing to OEM, and the price is negotiable."
“Is Great Wall just content with being a OEM?”
"How could it be possible? Of course Great Wall must establish its own brand, otherwise why would you come to Mr. Lu today?"
Zhou Gengshen said with a smile: "I just want to expand sales channels. Great Wall is not a strong point in marketing, and it has to rely on IBM and Lianxiang."
"Mr. Zhou, do you really expect IBM and Lianxiang to succeed?"
"IBM and Lianxiang have more experience in this area."
"But IBM can't protect itself, so isn't it planning to sell its PC division to Lianxiang in a package?"
Lu Fei squinted his eyes and sneered.
"Mr. Lu, how did you know that Lianxiang was going to acquire IBM!"
Zhou Gengshen was so shocked that his smile froze.
"It has been an open secret for a long time. I also know that Lianxiang will acquire all of IBM's notebook and PC businesses."
Lu Fei smiled coldly, "At that time, Great Wall had only two options, either to operate its own brand or to do OEM work for Lianxiang. Does Great Wall have to work for the rest of its life?"
"Mr. Lu, it's serious!"
Zhou Gengshen looked embarrassed and said: "It's not shabby to work for Lianxiang, the largest brand in the country."
"Ah, yes, yes."
Lu Fei was completely disappointed with the Great Wall and had no interest in cooperation anymore. He casually muddled around for a while and then issued the farewell order.
After sending people out, he laughed angrily and said:
"This Great Wall is so hopeless!"
"Uh, Mr. Lu, you're making money, it's not shabby."
Although Liu Edong was disgusted, he could somewhat understand why he had to stand so hard when he could make money on his knees.
"Shameful, very shabby!"
Lu Fei spoke with disdain in his tone: "Damn it, no wonder Lu Xun said that after kneeling for a long time, he forgot how to stand up."
"Mr. Lu, Lu Xun said this?" Liu Edong asked in confusion.
"Of course! Brother Xun didn't say anything."
Lu Fei pouted, and then called the representatives of domestic brands on the list to meet, but most of them were daunted when they heard the price of "three to five thousand" and immediately gave up the idea of cooperation.
If you don't talk about it, just cross it off the list one by one.
"Short-sighted, short-sighted!"
Lu Fei was completely speechless and leaned back in his chair tiredly: "Who's next?"
