But after going through all kinds of hardships, I finally found the phone number of that young Mr. Huang.
Looking at the series of 7 numbers on his phone, he hesitated again.
Without him, the sense of oppression brought by Huang Yangqi was too much.
Especially his attitude towards these capitals has made him, an Internet practitioner, completely unheard of.
Combined with the information he had investigated, it also made him know that this Huang Yangqi was not that simple.
But there is no way, the company issued a death order, as long as they can't get smart technology, they don't have to go back to work.
Obviously, if smart technology slips away from Byte Corporation, he will be the one to take the blame.
After adjusting his mood for a while, he finally dialed the very memorable and shocking phone number.
Huang Yangqi, on the other hand, saw that the call was from a business number and picked it up without much thought.
Soon, a calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Mr. Huang, I am Zhou Ke from Byte Company. I wonder if you have time to meet and talk?"
"If I remember correctly, Smart Technology and you are competitors. Why do we need to meet and talk."
I don’t have a good impression of this company, so I naturally say this in a blunt way.
Anyway, he already decided yesterday that no matter what conditions Byte offers, they will not be allowed to participate in this round of financing.
Although Zhou Ke was mentally prepared, he still felt very aggrieved after hearing his words.
Resisting the urge to hang up the phone, he continued: "Nothing else, I just want to talk to Mr. Huang about Byte's sincerity."
"If I'm sincere, let's show it on the bid document. If I meet you in private, it might be a bit against the rules."
Huang Yangqi certainly understands what they mean by sincerity.
It's nothing more than paying a high price to buy out all his shares, and then using smart technology technology in his own products.
Huang Yangqi has no interest in meeting him in private with such things that he can think of.
Seeing that Huang Yangqi was determined not to meet, Zhou Ke had no choice but to continue to lower his attitude and said: "Mr. Huang, please give me a chance. After all, I am just a part-time worker. It doesn't matter if you are not satisfied with the conditions. In the end,
At least let me have an explanation with the company."
"Forget it if we meet in person, just say it on the phone."
Huang Yangqi really didn't plan to meet him. If he was photographed, other companies would think he had done some trick.
At this critical moment, we have to take precautions.
After all, your competitors always want you and your company to disappear together.
With no other choice, Zhou Ke had no choice but to say: "The quotation given by our company is 20 billion, which will be paid in full in cash. We only hope to acquire smart technology."
"Then I'm here to tell you, it's impossible!"
After saying that, Huang Yangqi hung up the phone directly.
I don’t know who gave them the courage. The market value of their first round of financing was 15 billion, but they naively wanted to take away the company for 20 billion.
So when faced with another call from Zhou Ke, he ruthlessly chose to refuse.
Then I found Yang Lihua’s WeChat account and sent a message asking: “Sister Yang, does she know a person named Zhou Ke?”
"I know, I used to work for Toutiao. I was considered a major contributor to Toutiao app. I was promoted to the headquarters."
"By the way, wasn't he also at the meeting yesterday?"
At this time, Yang Lihua was also having headaches because of the financing of smart technology.
After conveying Huang Yangqi's idea back to the company, it immediately caused an uproar.
In Tengxun’s WeChat business department, there is a plan for a so-called video account in the next version.
This is also Tencent’s next layout for the short video field.
But no one can decide what the effect will be.
And what Huang Yangqi said also made them feel like they were being spied on.
However, within the business department, there are actually some voices in favor.
After all, everyone has already experienced how powerful the Xiuer app is.
If it can really be done, it will be a huge improvement for WeChat itself.
Even in their opinion, why can’t the recommendation algorithm of smart technology be used on official accounts and subscription accounts?
WeChat’s most profitable Moments ads, wouldn’t they be even more powerful if supported by this recommendation algorithm?
Of course, if there are voices in favor, there must also be voices against it.
And the reasons for opposition are reasonable. It is still unknown whether Tengxun can lead the first round of financing for smart technology, let alone how many shares it can get.
When there are too few benefits, they are worried that smart technology will not choose to share their technology.
The two parties were also at a stalemate in the conference room.
As for Huang Yangqi, when he saw that Zhou Ke was actually a so-called great contributor in Toutiao before, he suddenly had some thoughts in his mind.
Smart technology will definitely involve the news client field in the future.
Well, it’s really hard to find talents in this area.
And in Zhou Ke's tone just now, he could also tell that Zhou Ke must have been made things difficult by the company because of the smart technology matter.
Under such circumstances, he also planned to try to see if he could recruit Zhou Ke to his side to be responsible for the news client project.
After all, after financing, Smart Technology also has money to develop on multiple fronts.
So with this idea in mind, Huang Yangqi searched online.
I found that, as Yang Lihua said, Zhou was the vice president of Toutiao APP, and he could also be said to be half of the soul.
After getting to know him a little bit, Huang Yangqi didn't hesitate and dialed back the number he just called.
Zhou Ke is indeed desperate now.
From Huang Yangqi's words, he could certainly tell that people simply looked down on Byte Company.
So let alone an acquisition, even if they participate in financing with real swords and guns, they will definitely have no chance.
Just as he was organizing his words and planning to report back to the headquarters, his cell phone suddenly lit up.
The series of 7's in the caller's number almost blinded him.
At the same time, it also brought him a glimmer of hope. If things turned around, he would no longer have to be the scapegoat.
So I didn't dare to think too much, so I quickly picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Mr. Huang."
"Hello, come to the Holiday Cafe next to the Wulin Bund. I have something to talk to you about."
Huang Yangqi put it simply and crudely. The purpose of everything is to deceive people first and then talk.
Zhou Ke originally wanted to meet Huang Yangqi, so naturally he would not refuse, so he quickly said: "Okay, okay, I'll be there right away."
After saying that, he quickly grabbed his assistant, called a commercial car, and rushed towards the Wulin Bund.
Huang Yangqi was more casual. He estimated that the time was almost up, so he casually wore beach shorts and short-sleeved shirts, and took Long Tianzhu out.
Because there was a lot going on at Smart Technology, assistant Gao Jin was temporarily sent there to help He Jing handle some things within his power.
As for the cafe, it is right next to the community, so there is no need to drive.
After walking downstairs, with the security guards saluting all the way, Huang Yangqi and the two went to the coffee shop and ordered two drinks.
As soon as he sat down, a commercial car stopped at the door of the coffee shop, and two people got out.
Because they had met yesterday, Huang Yangqi could certainly recognize Zhou Ke, so he waved to him and said, "This way."
"Hello, Mr. Huang, I'm glad you are willing to see me." Zhou Ke felt that he was very happy to see the turn of events.
Just after he sat down, Huang Yangqi said with a smile: "You are happy too early."
"I do not intend to accept any form of financing or acquisition from your company."
The simplicity and directness of these words also made Zhou Ke and Zhou Ke, who were sitting across from each other, feel very uncomfortable.
"Then you... called me here to humiliate me?"
Zhou Ke really felt that he was insulted, especially when Huang Yangqi spoke with that harmless smile.
It doesn't matter if you sit on your seat, or if you walk, or if you don't walk.
On the other hand, his young man lived there and said quickly: "Mr. Huang doesn't have the time. He must have something to do when he comes to us."
He was also afraid that Zhou Ke would offend Huang Yangqi and that there would really be no chance at all.
"Everyone is busy, so I'll just say it bluntly. I don't know how Mr. Zhou is doing at Byte."
Zhou Ke vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he still said calmly: "I'm doing pretty well now."
"Is it really not bad? I'm afraid not necessarily."
Judging from Huang Yangqi's expression, he definitely doesn't look good.
Even according to his predictions, if he fails to win smart technology, Zhou Ke is likely to take the blame this week and be kicked out of the company.
And because of his words, Zhou Ke's face became increasingly ugly.
"Don't be anxious and angry. The reason why I asked this is to recruit you to be in charge of the news business of smart technology."
"You know our technology very well, and Byte has no power to fight back."
Hearing Huang Yangqi's words, Zhou Ke felt a little confused. Why was he here to discuss acquisitions, but when he arrived at Huang Yangqi's place, he wanted to poach him to work for him?
The assistant sitting next to him regretted coming here today and wished he could use his invisibility spell right away to spend time in this coffee shop.
Seeing that there was no reaction from the two of them, Huang Yangqi was not in a hurry and continued to say slowly: "You can mention anything about your salary, and I promise that as long as you don't have any problems, you will always be the helmsman of the news business."
"This... I'm afraid I will disappoint Mr. Huang. I have a non-competition contract. If I leave Byte Company, I will not be able to join any company of the same type within 10 years."
Of course Zhou Ke is excited. He has worked in Toutiao for many years and knows very well how powerful the recommendation algorithm of smart technology can be in this field.
But the non-competition contract was like a sharp knife hanging over his head, preventing him from moving.
Of course Huang Yangqi had an idea, so he smiled and said: "You have taken the blame, so you don't plan to fight for something for yourself?"
