Bai Shuo and his party came to Xiao Ma's spacious and bright office, and saw an elegant desk placed in the middle. Xiao Ma was sitting behind the desk, with a huge hand under his body.
There is a leather boss chair, and several senior Penguin staff are standing on both sides of the desk, several of whom Bai Shuo has met before. In the middle of the office, there is a seat surrounded by the desk and many senior Penguin staff.
There was a large empty area, with only a simple and short chair placed in the middle, which formed a sharp contrast with Xiao Ma's domineering desk and chair.
Bai Shuo imagined what it would look like if he just walked over and sat on that chair, like a kid being interrogated. The senior Penguins standing around him looked like beings like the Eighteen Arhats or the Four King Kongs.
And Brother Xiaoma is the king who is preparing to judge Bai Shuo for all the crimes he committed against Penguin these days.
Bai Shuo walked to the middle of the office and stopped when he was still seven or eight meters away from Brother Xiao Ma. Tian Yu and Cao An lined up behind him. "Brother Shuo..." Cao An, who was behind him on the right, also
Realizing something was wrong, he gently touched Bai Shuo's arm and reminded him in a low voice.
Bai Shuo thought for a moment and whispered: "You guys just wait here, I'll go meet him."
Having said that, Bai Shuo strode towards Brother Ma quickly alone. When he reached the chair, Bai Shuo had no intention of sitting down. He actually picked up the chair and continued moving forward without slowing down.
Go.
Before everyone around him could react, Xiao Ma only saw Bai Shuo holding a chair diagonally with both hands and rushing towards him. There was only a desk distance between them.
With Bai Shuo's speed and posture, he was afraid that the whole chair would be thrown at him in the next second. In a moment, Xiao Ma didn't have time to think about it. His body, which was originally sitting upright, instinctively ducked back, and his arms
He also raised himself to make a blocking gesture.
But the chair didn't fall down. Bai Shuo suddenly stopped, turned the chair in his hand like an acrobatic, and then placed it firmly in front of the desk. Brother Ma realized it almost at the same time,
He immediately stood up, put down his arms, and returned to his rigorous sitting posture. At this moment, he saw a hand stretched out in front of him. Bai Shuo was standing in front of his desk, looking down at him, preparing to shake hands with him.
Brother Xiao Ma knew that he had been overwhelmed in momentum just now, so he had no choice but to shake hands with Bai Shuo. Bai Shuo sat on the chair he had just brought over without waiting for Brother Xiao Ma to say hello.
, now he and Brother Ma are sitting across the desk from each other, and they look like two opponents preparing to negotiate.
All Penguin executives in the office were shocked by what happened at that moment, but before they had time to take any action, the situation had already reversed. When Tian Yu and Cao An witnessed this scene, they couldn't hold it back in their hearts.
It looked funny, but due to the occasion, I had to keep a serious expression.
"Mr. Ma, it's really hard to meet you!" Bai Shuo said before Brother Ma could speak.
Brother Xiao Ma looked at Bai Shuo in confusion. Bai Shuo continued: "I sent an appointment letter to your company more than two months ago, but it was rejected. I had no choice but to take this step, hoping to attract Mr. Ma's attention.
s concern."
That rejection was intentional by Xiao Ma. To be honest, at that time, he still looked down on these high-profile young people and thought they were too superficial. But now, listening to Bai Shuo’s words, so many things that are happening now are...
It was caused by his original rejection, which made Xiao Ma feel like he wanted to vomit blood.
"Oh! What else is this? Why didn't I know? Why didn't anyone tell me about this?" Xiao Ma looked at everyone present with an innocent face.
At this time, the administrative director stood up and said solemnly: "This is true. Because Mr. Ma was on a business trip abroad at the time, I temporarily declined for you."
Brother Ma said angrily: "How could you not tell me about such an important matter? You really know how to make your own decisions."
Administrative Director: "I was negligent, I was negligent, please forgive me..."
This administrative director is also very smart. He first took the initiative to help Xiao Ma take the blame, and then kicked the ball back to Bai Shuo while blaming himself, hoping that he would understand. Bai Shuo naturally knew that this administrative director was just a scapegoat and was too much.
The embarrassment did not make much sense, so he immediately said: "Mr. Ma was abroad at the time and there was nothing he could do about it. Besides, haven't we met now..."
Seeing Bai Shuo give him a step, Brother Ma immediately asked, "I wonder what Brother Bai is asking me to meet this time?"
Bai Shuo: "Oh, the main purpose of coming here is to clear up misunderstandings."
Brother Ma: "Misunderstanding?"
Bai Shuo: "Well, yes, misunderstanding. At present, in the eyes of outsiders, we are fighting fiercely, and it seems that we are about to become eternal enemies."
Brother Ma: "In the eyes of outsiders? So things are not so in the eyes of Brother Bai?"
Bai Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Of course not. In fact, I admire Penguin very much and I really want to be friends with Mr. Ma. The last time I wanted to meet Mr. Ma, I was rejected.
After that, I had to express my optimism about your company in my own way. So when your company competes for the Internet market share, I will help you and give up the Internet company in my hands. After that, I thought that since I can’t compete with your company for the time being,
If you cooperate with your company, then I can invest in your company’s stocks, so I will vigorously buy your company’s stocks and want to share the future with your company..."
Brother Ma: "Hmph! Invest in our stocks? Just buy 20% of it in one go?"
Bai Shuo smiled: "Yes, it shows how optimistic I am about your company's development."
At this time, Cao An couldn't hold himself still anymore, and whispered to Tian Yu and the others beside him: "Brother Shuo is really good at talking. Even if you die, he will make you alive."
This was the first time Xiao Lin had experienced such an occasion. He was a little nervous at first, but after seeing Bai Shuo's arbitrary behavior, he found it funny and gradually relaxed.
Here Bai Shuo continued: "This is all my fault. I was too young and energetic, and didn't care about all aspects of my feelings. Originally, I just wanted to make friends with Mr. Ma, but because I couldn't see you, Mr. Ma, I was too
I was eager to invest in your company, so I acted a little too hastily. It wasn’t until I found out that Mr. Ma was going to come up with a poison pill plan that I discovered my problem. Here, I sincerely apologize to Mr. Ma, and I hope that there will be a relationship between us.
Be able to clear up misunderstandings and become friends who can work closely together.”
Bai Shuo's words shocked everyone present at Penguin. Blue Ocean Capital, which was originally regarded as the biggest enemy, actually wanted to be friends with him. No one might believe this, but he did it openly.
He said it, and he said it reasonably.
Brother Xiao Ma sneered and said: "Since we want to clear up the misunderstanding, when will you sell the stocks you acquired? You have made a lot of money now."
Bai Shuo: "Sell it? Why should you sell it? I like these stocks very much. I can tell you that I am confident that these stocks will increase ten times in ten years, oh, not even a hundred times."
If you want me to be released now, I won’t do it.”
"Pa" Brother Ma patted the table and stood up: "Then where is your sincerity? You are full of empty words."
Seeing that Brother Ma was a little unhappy, Bai Shuo said with a playful smile: "Mr. Ma, don't be angry, I am really sincere. Previously, the combined stock shares of H Holding Group and AB Bank reached Penguin
The total share capital is almost half, so why don’t you have any objection? Are you so angry when these shares are in my hands?”
Brother Ma: "How is that the same? Group H and AB Bank are investment companies. They will not affect Penguin's decision-making or interfere with Penguin's operations..."
"Me too." Bai Shuo said immediately before Xiao Ma Ge finished speaking.
Brother Ma: "What did you say?"
Bai Shuo: "Me too. Not only do I promise not to interfere in any affairs of your company, but I am also willing to sign a concerted action agreement with Mr. Ma. From now on, all the shares under my name within Penguin Company will unconditionally support your decisions."
.How about it, you are sincere enough."
Bai Shuo's words made everyone present quiet for a long time, and then Brother Ma asked: "Then what are you trying to do?"
Bai Shuo: "As I said, I am very optimistic about your company's future prospects. In addition, the purpose of my visit today is to promote a cooperation with Mr. Ma."
Brother Ma: "What kind of cooperation?"
Bai Shuo: "I plan to jointly develop some projects with Penguin in the future. As for these projects, they can be placed in a company we jointly established. We will provide financial support and project planning, and then use Penguin's platform advantages to promote them. As for the project's
Penguin can take the lead in terms of dominance and distribution of interests. We only need to obtain the decision-making power of some projects and allocate the benefits brought by some projects."
Brother Xiao Ma: "You have worked so hard on the project but let us take the lion's share. You only get a small part of the profit. Is there such cooperation?"
Bai Shuo smiled softly: "We are doing this for Penguin Company. Don't forget, maybe I will be Penguin Company's major shareholder by then. If Penguin Company makes money, won't I also make it?"
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that Bai Shuo already had 20% of the shares. If he could absorb some more shares of H Group, then he might really become the major shareholder behind Penguin Company. Then Penguin would make money.
, naturally he is also the biggest beneficiary.
Xiao Ma thought for a moment and smiled on his face. After all, if Bai Shuo is really willing to sign a concerted action agreement with him, it means that the other party really has no ill intentions. "Can you tell me what you want to cooperate with?
Any specific project?”
Bai Shuo: "I think your Penguin QQ software is good. I want to cooperate with you to create a similar one."
The office was quiet for a while, and suddenly Brother Ma burst out laughing. He looked around at everyone and said, "What, do you want to cooperate with me to create another QQ?" Then everyone else burst out laughing.
Sound. Penguin’s executives seemed to have heard the funniest thing in the world. You must know that the reason why Penguin is called Penguin was based on the QQ software with a corporate image. Although this software is free and does not directly make money,
However, the number of users he brought ensured that Penguin Company became the company with the largest number of Internet users in China. And relying on these users, Penguin can be said to be invincible in the online business competition. As long as any cool stuff appears on the market,
If you imitate one, you can immediately catch up. Now Bai Shuo said that he will cooperate with Penguin to develop a similar software and compete with himself. Is this the same as seeking the skin of a tiger?
Cao An and others behind were also shocked when they heard Bai Shuo's words. Cao An whispered softly: "Brother Shuo really dares to think that this QQ software is the core thing of Penguin. The idea of making this thing is simply...
It’s going to take the penguin’s life.”
"Give me a reason. QQ is our core product. Why should I cooperate with you to develop another product to compete with ourselves?" After everyone stopped laughing, Xiao Ma was very curious.
Asked Bai Shuo.
Bai Shuo stood up and thought for a moment, then slowly walked to the center of the crowd, then raised a finger and said: "The first reason is that you have now reached a bottleneck period of development. It is difficult to break through.
It’s even more difficult. We have an old saying that “if you don’t break it, you won’t establish it.” QQ is good, but if Penguin Company stagnates on QQ and remains complacent, then the day QQ is eliminated will be the day when Penguin dies..."
At this time, Bai Shuo slowly walked up to Brother Xiao Ma and continued: "The second reason is that this year is the first year of 3G. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has just issued 3G licenses for several major operators. With the advent of the 3G era,
It will bring about disruptive changes in many fields such as communication, network, instant calls, etc. In the future, smartphones will become the dominant one, and mobile network applications will gradually become mainstream. At present, QQ is indeed good and has very powerful functions.
There are also many users, but this is all based on PC network applications. In the mobile network era, everything will return to the starting line and start a new round of competition. Although QQ has a large number of users, its existing functions may not be able to
Adapt to the needs of the mobile Internet era..."
Bai Shuo talked for a long time, explaining the first two reasons in great detail, and by the way made amazing predictions about future development trends. Xiao Ma also had to admit that many of Bai Shuo's ideas were very
It was novel, something that I seemed to have never thought through, was described by Bai Shuo in just a few words, and it immediately took shape.
At this time, Bai Shuo's expression became a little solemn. After some hesitation, he said the third reason: "This third reason may embarrass Mr. Ma. Although QQ is an enterprise leader,
We are proud of our core product, but is this product really completely in your hands, Mr. Ma? It doesn’t feel good to be choked by someone, right? The third reason is independence.”
