Chapter 253

Li Qianqian walked into the gate of Houlang Company, and saw the four big characters "Houlang Network" on the wall.

These four words seem to have been around for a while. Thinking about how glorious they were when Hou Lang put them up, but now...

"Miss, may I ask who you are looking for?"

An ordinary-looking girl at the front desk saw Li Qianqian standing there looking around and couldn't help asking.

"I'm looking for Mr. Wang Dongzhi. I made an appointment with him yesterday."

Li Qianqian said lightly.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The girl at the front desk called Wang Dongzhi's office, and the secretary answered the call and came to Wang Dongzhi.

"President Wang, Li Qianqian from Qingyun Technology is here."

Wang Dongzhi was talking to Wang Xiubo, he was startled when he heard the words, "You make arrangements first, I'll be right over."

"OK."

The secretary turned and went out, Wang Xiubo glanced back, "Mr. Wang, I'll go with you later."

Wang Dongzhi nodded and signaled Wang Xiubo to go out first.

He looked at the computer in front of him, wondering what was going on in his mind.

Yesterday afternoon, a call came from the Ministry of Commerce, saying that someone from Qingyun Technology wanted to visit them.

Wang Dongzhi couldn't refuse, so he could only agree first.

I didn't expect the other party to rush over just after I went to work today.

He was dragging Wang Xiubo to discuss Qingyun Technology's intentions just now, but he was interrupted before he could say a few words.

Qingyun Technology.

This is an Internet upstart that suddenly emerged in the second half of this year.

Houlang Company previously gave up charging Youxin'er and switched to QQ, but now he knows, because the free QQ has become the well-deserved leader in Longhan's domestic instant messaging field.

The current Houlang can't compare with the other party at all. Wang Dongzhi walked all the way and kept thinking about Li Qianqian's reason for coming.

After exchanging a few simple words with Li Qianqian, Wang Dongzhi began to carefully follow the other party's words.

Li Qianqian knew it in her heart.

If he was led by the nose in this meeting, then Su Ye's plan would definitely come to nothing.

In this way, a surprise move must be made to win.

She has inquired about countless classic acquisition cases in the past, and found that the acquirer is either directly coercing the acquisition, or encroaching a little bit.

There is no such thing as getting straight to the point and buying directly without the other party's knowledge.

Therefore, Li Qianqian decided to do the opposite.

"Mr. Wang, I came from Jiangcheng, and I also admire the history of Houlang Company."

"However, I have inquired about relevant information before, and the current Houlang Company may be struggling."

Wang Dongzhi's face turned red immediately.

Everyone in Houlang Company knew about this kind of thing, but at this moment, it was caught by an outsider.

The key point is that Li Qianqian is still far away in Jiangcheng, so she would know about it.

At this time, Houlang still bears the title of one of the three major Internet giants in China.

Although there is no progress in various businesses and even some sluggishness, the advertising revenue business is also declining.

However, the surface of donkey dung is smooth.

Few peers can know what the real situation of Houlang will be.

This Li Qianqian... was not a good person.

Wang Dongzhi's heart instantly became vigilant.

Wang Xiubo on the side nodded slightly.

He and Wang Dongzhi jointly founded Houlang, but regarding the current situation of Houlang, he is not as shy as Wang Dongzhi.

The acquisition in September was the result of his hard work for more than half a year.

He already believed from the bottom of his heart that if Houlang insisted on the current business model, it would definitely be swept into the dustbin of history.

Only in later textbooks, or in the records of Longhan's Internet progress, can we see the words about Houlang.

However, this is definitely not what Wang Xiubo wants.

He needs reform.

Change is needed.

Houlang needs to be rejuvenated.

Li Qianqian's intention, after she finished saying this, Wang Xiubo had already guessed a thing or two.

"President Li has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Wang Xiubo returned calmly.

Wang Dongzhi next to him couldn't help turning his face to look at his comrade in arms, furious in his heart.

This Li Qianqian is obviously here to ridicule us, but you still let her say it's okay?

Where are you from?

Wang Xiubo could only smile at him, signaling Wang Dongzhi to be at ease.

"it is good."

"Houlang's current situation is rosy on the surface, but the inside is unsustainable."

"I thought... at this time, Mr. Wang should not be thinking about how to cover up, but about finding a way to solve the problem."

"Qingyun is not talented in technology, and is willing to help."

"you……"

Wang Dongzhi immediately stood up, he understood in his heart.

Li Qianqian didn't come to see her own jokes, but took advantage of the fire.

"You don't need to worry about the matter of Houlang Company. We are already preparing for new business."

"But it's about the browser?"

Li Qianqian said with a smile.

Before coming, she had asked someone to inquire about the news.

Why are the three giants, Shouhu and NetEase, actively changing their thinking, and continuously launching various profitable businesses within the company.

Only Houlang remained motionless.

After this investigation, we know that Houlang has the idea of ​​making a browser.

And not only that, in September, Houlang even thought about developing chat software.

If it weren't for Qingyun Technology's QQ sweeping past with an invincible force, maybe the current instant messaging market would be in chaos.

Li Qianqian couldn't help sighing,

The fact that Su Ye founded Qingyun Technology is just right.

If it's too early, then we still need to cultivate the market, and fight with Youxin'er, Mumu, and ISeeYou.

If it is late, more companies and products will enter the market.

Leaving aside Houlang’s late-knowledge, Li Qianqian heard from Zhou Yuanyuan that from September to October, at least five companies had found venture capital firms to develop software.

At that time, the warlords will be separated, and the warlords will fight in chaos. QQ wants to stand out, even under the banner of free.

Wang Dongzhi was stunned.

Wang Xiubo was stunned.

Wang Dongzhi's secretary was also stunned.

The research and development of the browser is not considered an absolute secret in Houlang Company, but if you, a company from out of town, want to inquire about this news, you can't find it out so lightly.

But when they talked to Li Qianqian just now, they learned that Li Qianqian came here only yesterday.

It was no coincidence that Houlang's new business was discovered in just one day.

Wang Dongzhi even thought, no wonder people from the Ministry of Commerce would call him in person yesterday afternoon.

This Li Qianqian...

No, it should be said that Qingyun Technology has such contacts, so it is reasonable to find out his new business.

It's just, how much does the other party want to get.

Is it a shareholding, or...

"Yes, we do develop browsers."

Wang Dongzhi spoke slowly under Wang Xiubo's shocked eyes.

It seems that Li Qianqian has been subdued.

But Li Qianqian didn't have such an idea in her heart.

When talking to these people who have been fighting in the mall for a long time, you must not have any fluke or complacency.

Otherwise, just a word from others may cause you to lose tens of millions or hundreds of millions, or even make your wedding dress for nothing.

"Mr. Wang, I need to have a frank and honest talk with you about the future development plan of Houlang."

Wang Dongzhi nodded.

He turned his head and glanced at the secretary, motioning for him to go out.

After the secretary closed the door outside, he said to Li Qianqian: "Wang Xiubo Wang is always the back wave I founded with me back then, don't worry."

Li Qianqian glanced at Wang Xiubo, who was quite a scholar, and nodded without refuting.

"Mr. Wang, we, Qingyun Technology, want to acquire all the shares of Houlang."

"You make a price."

The tone is relaxed and the demeanor is indifferent.

When Wang Dongzhi saw Li Qianqian's appearance, he couldn't help thinking of...

Those aunts who go to the market to buy vegetables.

"You don't have much food, sell it all to me, how much is it?"

"This……"

Although he had long thought of transferring shares, Wang Dongzhi was still embarrassed to answer Li Qianqian's proposal so bluntly.

For acquisitions, we shouldn’t talk about our intentions first, and then whether you send or hire a special lawyer and financial team to review various accounts in the company to understand fixed assets, business revenue and other items.

Then when everything is clear, let's sit down and talk about the price.

You are too direct.

"Mr. Li, may I ask, what is Qingyun Technology's valuation of us?"

"Also, as far as I know, Qingyun Technology is currently focusing on developing instant messaging and related businesses. It seems that it has no idea of ​​​​making a portal or a browser."

Wang Xiubo turned against the general.

Don't you know us very well, and you also know that we are going to do browser business.

That's right, I also know that you are not going to be a portal or a browser.

So, why do you want to acquire Houlang?

"As for the valuation, Houlang's current valuation in the capital market is still 2 billion Chinese coins."

"But we are also an Internet company, so we naturally know that there is water in it."

Li Qianqian smiled faintly and looked directly at Wang Xiubo.

"Recently, various stocks in the Internet industry in Meiliguo have fallen significantly."

"In China, Slender Tiger, which has already been listed, has been trading at its daily limit for seven consecutive days."

"Whether domestic or foreign, the market and the public are generally not optimistic about the Internet industry, so..."

"You two don't think that Qingyun Technology will spend 2 billion to acquire Houlang."

"Boss Li is right."

Wang Xiubo was not angry, and Wang Dongzhi next to him also calmed down.

He knew that ever since Li Qianqian told Houlang's secret, he was a little excited.

Fortunately, Wang Xiubo is still clear-headed, so let him deal with Li Qianqian.

Anyway, things like acquisitions are never done in a day.

"However, if Qingyun Technology wants to complete the leap in the level, it must pay a certain price, isn't it?"

"Otherwise, Mr. Li can suggest to the company to acquire NetEase or Shouhu."

Li Qianqian smiled.

This Wang Xiubo is really difficult to deal with.

He also said he would have to pay a certain price.

When he came, Su Ye told her not to be afraid of spending money, but to take down Houlang quickly and accurately, and start the follow-up business as soon as possible.

Li Qianqian couldn't understand that Weibo, why it deserved so much attention from Su Ye.

Isn't it just to allow users to post some of their own dynamics without any scruples?

Now Qzone can also do it.

It's just that this Weibo has added the function of following.

It can be said to be a variant of social software. Compared with QQ, it has no timeliness. Compared with forums, it relies on topics for a living.

In this way, both ends cannot be considered, and it is nondescript. Are you sure that users will pay for this product?

For the first time, Li Qianqian doubted Su Ye's vision.

She pondered for a while, what should she do in the face of Wang Xiubo's retreat.

If you agree with him, it means that the future acquisition process will continue to raise the price under Wang Xiubo's suggestion to a level that he is satisfied with.

Or if you refute, then you will be deadlocked, Su Ye is still waiting for his news.

If he messed up the matter, although Su Ye would not fire him, but as one of the ten stars of Qingyun, would he be looked down upon in the future.

Some people would think that Li Qianqian was able to get to the top because of Su Ye.

You can see how well Wang Yifei makes QQ games. You can see how Zhou Yuanyuan pulled out his teeth when he went to Haicheng. One auction held 21 yuan of land. She alone won 10 yuan on behalf of Qingyun Technology, including the largest The king of that piece of land.

As a result, I went to the imperial capital and came to nothing. Maybe if the acquisition failed, I would be stumbling behind by Houlang Company and leaked the news that Qingyun Technology was planning to acquire the portal website.

Of course, I can also expose the financial situation of Houlang Company, but this method of losing both sides does not benefit Qingyun Technology at all. On the contrary, it will make people feel that Qingyun Technology will retaliate, which will reduce the reputation.

A wise man would not do this.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll go first."

Li Qianqian stood up, and just took two steps, as if suddenly remembering something, she looked in her briefcase, took out a stack of documents and handed them to Wang Dongzhi.

"But I'm sorry, I picked this up from the ground when I was waiting outside your company just now."

"Now it is considered to be returned to the original owner."

Wang Dongzhi didn't get up, Wang Xiubo just took a look at it and his face changed drastically.

"President Li, please wait a moment."

Wang Xiubo shouted, but his eyes never left the document in his hand.

"Houlang Network Technology Company's Financial Statements and Analysis for the First Half of the Year"

Wang Xiubo just looked at a few numbers, and knew that what Li Qianqian was holding was definitely the real thing.

In Houlang, he is in charge of finance and other aspects.

He even remembered that he had made a copy of this report for Wang Dongzhi to read.

and……

Wang Xiubo felt that the staples of this stack of documents were already loose. Behind these few pages, there must be follow-up content.

Very likely, very likely...

Wang Xiubo's mind was spinning rapidly. This document was probably made by the person who wanted to acquire Houlang that he contacted last time.

Li Qianqian, Qingyun Technology actually has the ability to get the financial report over.

What does this mean.

It shows that Houlang Company no longer has any secrets in the eyes of Qingyun Technology.

Even Houlang's November financial statements can be obtained if they want.

Wang Xiubo deeply regretted it at this time.

It's good that I didn't have to be so rigid just now, Li Qianqian can calmly hand over this document to him, then I must have a backup.

If she annoyed her, she would just throw this document out in the future.

Even without the opponent's attack, Wang Dongzhi couldn't bear Houlang's shareholders and employees alone.

It is now December, and if this month passes, Houlang has been losing money for two consecutive years.

This is absolutely incredible for a Longhan Internet company.

And not to mention the loss alone, the leader of Houlang did not correct the direction in time, open up new businesses, and save the rapidly declining market share.

In the eyes of shareholders and investors, Wang Dongzhi and Wang Xiubo are waste.

Even if Houlang collapses and collapses in the future, they will be cast aside by everyone.

Even...the two of them are the founders of Houlang.

Wang Xiubo saw that his face barely maintained a smile, and handed the document in his hand to Wang Dongzhi.

"Mr. Li, don't rush to leave."

"Acquisition of a company is not like buying vegetables in a vegetable market. You can decide what to buy in a few minutes."

"Don't we still have to communicate and discuss?"

Wang Xiubo smiled, walked up to Li Qianqian and invited her to sit back.

When Wang Dongzhi saw this document, he was in a cold sweat.

Li Qianqian must not be let go.
