Having just started work, Xu Yong couldn't wait to walk into the CEO's office, with excitement in his tone:
"Mr. Li, Li Xingping is finally willing to sell hao123!"
"real!?"
Li Yanhong was stirring the coffee with a spoon, and her hand movements immediately stopped.
Although hao123 navigation is simple and shabby in the eyes of geeks and elites, it is simple. It is so simple that even if it is done by Baidu, it will be difficult to surpass it. The website once occupied 50% of the traffic entrance. At its peak, it was equivalent to the traffic of New Wolf and Netease
sum.
Even the Penguin system currently only accounts for about 60% of the traffic on the entire network, and those who win almost half of the search engines have hao123.
"Absolutely true."
Xu Yong said directly that hao123 navigation was shut down and Li Xingping had no energy to unblock it and had to surrender to capital.
"Well, I have reminded him a long time ago that hao123 is like a small boat loaded with gold. One person can row it slowly. The wind and the sun are beautiful, but in bad weather, if a wave comes over and the boat is knocked over, it is very likely that the boat will be damaged.
There’s nothing left.”
Li Yanhong took a sip of the bitter coffee and felt it was full of sweetness: "Contact me immediately and increase the previous quotation by 5%."
"This is so scary."
Xu Yong looked troubled: "In addition to us, he also looked for Penguin, Sogou, and Yahoo, looking for rare things to live in."
Li Yanhong frowned. Yahoo China, its mortal enemy Zhou Hongyi, was already difficult to deal with. In terms of financial resources, Baidu, which had just raised capital, was not inferior, but it was definitely not a rival to Penguin and Sogou. After all, it was Mr. Lu who was behind it.
"It's fine if Penguin gets it. If Sogou acquires it, it will be difficult for Baidu to become the number one search engine in China!"
Xu Yong was worried: "Originally Tieba was still catching up, but recently Sogou launched another input method. The traffic growth rate is like a rocket, and it continues to erode our market share, as well as that of Yahoo."
"Let's go talk to Mr. Lu. He is also a shareholder of Baidu."
Li Yanhong thought for a while and realized that the past two years were the critical period of growth for Baidu.
Listing stocks in the name of "China's No. 1 Search Engine" or "China's No. 2 Search Engine" has a different appeal to Wall Street investment banks.
Xu Yong sighed: "But he is the major shareholder of Sogou and Penguin, so he can't give it away, right?"
"How can we know if we don't talk about it?"
Li Yanhong paced back and forth for a while before making up her mind to make an appointment over the phone. To her surprise, Mr. Lu easily agreed.
Just not in Hailong Building, but in Shangzhuang Reservoir.
The dirt roads are full of potholes, weeds litter the roadside, and signs have disappeared. Traces of undeveloped development are scattered everywhere.
On the shore surrounding the curved water surface, under the shade of a tree, people stood in twos and threes, and only one person sat with a fishing rod in his hand.
Lu Fei wrapped himself tightly in a "killer" outfit, wearing sunglasses and a mask under a visor, sun protection arm guards connected to anti-slip and stab-proof fingerless gloves, and a small towel hanging around his waist.
But what is surprising and puzzling is that there is a helmet beside my feet. Do you still wear a helmet when fishing?
Li Yanhong shifted her gaze and saw several small horses standing next to him. The nearest one had a complete set of fishing gear.
Lu Fei pulled off his mask and said with a smile, "Does Mr. Li go fishing?"
"Understand a little."
Li Yanhong nodded, but her movements were as clumsy as a newcomer's. She threw the fishhook absently and said hao123.
Lu Fei said expressionlessly: "Mr. Li, you want me to give you some face, give up the fight for navigation, and give you the opportunity?"
Li Yanhong hurriedly corrected, "Mr. Lu, it's us, us."
"Search users are users of search engines on one end and users of navigation sites on the other. Whoever acquires hao123 will be able to take all these two largest search user groups into their arms and convert part of the traffic and users into
Search book search engine.”
Lu Fei said calmly: "If Mr. Li were sitting in my position, would he give up this opportunity?"
"Mr. Lu, if this acquisition is successful, Baidu will be able to expand its business and use it as a springboard for listing on Nasdaq."
Li Yanhong started to talk about it with emotion and moved it for profit, but the more he talked, the more unsure he was, and in the end he didn't even have the confidence to continue talking.
But suddenly, things took a turn for the worse.
Lu Fei was inexplicably willing to give up his love and give up the acquisition opportunity of hao123 to Baidu.
Li Yanhong raised his head violently, hope bursting out of his originally helpless and disappointed eyes.
"But I have two conditions."
It's not that Lu Fei can't afford the money. In his previous life, hao123 was worth more than 50 million RMB, 10 million in cash and 40 million in shares.
It's just Penguin. Sogou has already developed its own navigation window. There is no need to do anything extra. It is better to be a favor.
Li Yanhong said eagerly: "Mr. Lu, tell me."
"In the future, hao123's navigation entries and e-commerce traffic entrances must be exclusively owned by Feigou.com."
Lu Fei took off his sunglasses and said, "Don't worry, Baidu will never suffer a loss in terms of price. We will pay according to the market price."
"Mr. Lu, what is the other one?"
Li Yanhong let out a breath, expecting that the lion would open its mouth, but such a small condition was not a condition at all.

"hao123 Navigation belongs to you, but Penguin wants to poach Li Xingping, the webmaster."
Lu Fei noticed the concern on his face and saw through it at a glance: "Of course, it will be after the handover of your website work is completed."
The most difficult problem in Li Yanhong's mind was solved, "But I'm curious about what Mr. Lu is doing?"
"There is a section in the QQ game lobby called 4399, which collects links to various mini-games to create a game collection."
Lu Fei made no secret that Li Xingping was the founder of 4399 in his previous life, and he is still the founder of 4399. In the future, when it comes to web game interoperability, small game platforms will be an indispensable traffic diversion position.
"That's no problem!"
Li Yanhong agreed wholeheartedly, her tone full of gratitude, and after feeling relieved, she turned her attention to fishing.
"But Mr. Li, Sogou, and Penguin have withdrawn. How sure are you that you can win Zhou Hongyi's Yahoo?"
Lu Fei glanced sideways, "If Baidu fails, letting Yisou.com get hao123 will be an enemy."
Li Yanhong said: "Nothing unexpected happens, Baidu will definitely try our best this time. If we can't do it ourselves, we can ask Mr. Lu for help."
"Rather than competing on price, I have an idea that might kick Zhou Hongyi out."
Lu Fei didn't ask charades, but he didn't explain clearly either. He asked in a roundabout way who did it when Baidu was reported to be involved in fraud.
"It's still under investigation, but 80% of it is related to Zhou Hongyi and Yahoo."
Li Yanhong's frowning eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and she suddenly understood. She drew inferences from one instance and said: "What does Mr. Lu mean, to treat others with their own way?"
"The official government wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, but there is no need for a 'chicken' to set an example. There are many 3721 problems in the Yahoo system."
Lu Fei's words hinted that there was the will of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. After all, during the mediation between Baidu and 3721, Zhou Hongyi did not even give face to himself and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, insisting on filing a lawsuit and refusing to repent after the lawsuit. This is vicious competition.
So rude, no rules at all!
"I understand, Mr. Lu."
Li Yanhong understood, with a sinister smile on his face, "Let's join forces to squeeze across the Yahoo network, and then divide the world into two."
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows and made insinuations, Yan Hongzai, do you want to talk nonsense?
Li Yanhong smiled brightly. Of course, both of them are talkers for China Search Engine. You talk to others, and I talk to others too.
Lu Fei laughed heartily, but his mental conception of the search engine's territory was Wei, Shu, and Wu. This plan was equivalent to the Wei State's plan to persuade the Wei State to surrender and then surprise the Shu State's Jingzhou.
I originally thought about naming a great king of Wei and Wu, but I never thought that you, Li Shiwan, would dare to proclaim yourself emperor! How bold!
At this moment, the fishing rod suddenly shook, the fishing line began to straighten, the rod gradually bent into a bow, and a big fish took the bait.
"Took the bait."
Lu Fei hurriedly lifted the rod, exerting force steadily and accurately, and it took a while to catch the fish.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, this fish is huge!"
Li Yanhong picked up the pole of the fishing net and started fishing.
Lu Fei glanced at his head with a cold look in his eyes. How could anyone fish without a helmet?
