Chapter 344 Are You Willing To Sell QQ?

The time soon came to the end of August, and school was about to start. Gao Yingxue and Li Xiuzhen brought Jiang Xue back to Jinyang again.

Jiang Xue is in the first year of junior high school next semester, with good grades, and was admitted to Jinyang International Middle School, the best private middle school in Jinyang.

Wu Xiaoyue is about to go to Peking University for freshman year.

Tian Tian, ​​​​who is already two years old and eight months old, is about to officially start kindergarten.

On August 8th, the day when Tiantian signed up, at night, Gu Wenlong went home and mentioned to Gao Yang about the progress of the investigation of the Weidian software virus transmission case.

It involved a department-level Internet supervisor who received more than 400 million yuan from Ruixing Company and has already been detained.

Gao Yang told Liu Xu the news and told him not to spread it. Liu Xu was so excited at that time that he called the team to have dinner and drink at night.

Starting from September 9st, Liu Xu's R&D team will be stationed in a studio in a villa in Xiangyi Mountain Villa, and will start closed research and development of 1 guards.

Liu Xu promised Gao Yang that within two months, the internal beta version will be produced, and the internal beta will be completed in mid-November, and it will be released in late November.

Gao Yang looked at the calendar and decided to schedule the press conference of 51 Guardians on November 11.

On that day, it was Xiaoxue solar term, Gao Yang wanted the entire desktop antivirus software market to experience how winter comes.

Let me tell you that times have changed...

As the assistant to the president of 51 Group and the person in charge of the president's office, Shao Hanyun is now the envy of many colleagues.

There are currently three employees in the President's Office, plus Shao Hanyun, the four serve Gao Yang and also give some work instructions on behalf of Gao Yang.

Shao Hanyun is also the secretary of the board of directors. After a few more years of growth, he has great hope of becoming an executive who can stand alone.

Working in front of Gao Yang all day long, Shao Hanyun has learned a lot, and now he has a natural and majestic OL temperament.

Many colleagues will subconsciously make friends with Shao Hanyun.

On the morning of August 8, just as Gao Yang sat down in the office, Shao Hanyun came to report:
"Mr. Gao, Mr. Zeng from the Goose Factory called again and wanted to visit you. This is the fourth time. Should I still reply like that?"

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Is this person so difficult?"

Shao Hanyun also smiled: "It's a bit difficult. He should understand what you mean, Mr. Gao, but he just doesn't want to give up."

Gao Yang thought for a while: "How about this, you reply to him, just say that I have returned to Beijing on a business trip, let's say this Friday, and look forward to Mr. Zeng's visit."

Shao Hanyun smiled slightly, turned around and went out to make a phone call.

This Mr. Zeng is the COO Zeng Qin of Goose Factory. Gao Yang met once in January. At that time, the other party represented Goose Factory and hoped to acquire 1.com and 51 Renren, or inject capital to control it.

Gao Yang had made it clear at the time that he had no intention of transferring the company's equity or accepting capital injection.

Since mid-July, Gao Yang excused himself to be busy with work and was on a business trip, which made Shao Hanyun politely decline the other party's three visit requests.

Unexpectedly, this President Zeng is not discouraged, he has the posture that he must meet Gao Yang.

Gao Yang also understood that the other party was still aiming at acquiring the assets of 51 Group.

The traffic on each platform of the 51 Group is developing too fast, and one after another hit project comes out, Goose Factory really can't sit still.

By the end of August, both 8 Renren and 51 Happy Farm had more than 51 million users.

51talk and 51talk space have more than 5000 million users.

With the 51 main station and two sub-stations, the number of users is close to 4000 million.

Even Fortune 51, which was launched last, has more than 1000 million users.

A 51-series user ecosystem is gradually taking shape.

In fact, Gao Yang seldom asks about the specific business of the project company now, and only regularly reads the reports and [Home of 51].

The House of 51 is an internal electronic magazine produced by the 51 Group, which is issued every half a month. For this purpose, an editorial department has been set up to collect and edit the company's internal staff demeanor, growth stories, team building and so on.

It also accepts contributions from internal employees and returns the publishing fee.

The purpose of this publication is to create the corporate culture of 51 Group, and spread the positive energy of hard work, mutual cooperation and common growth.

After each issue is edited, it will be sent to all employees of the group through the 51 mailbox.

The head of the editorial department is Lin Yuan, a female reporter who jumped over from the national edition of CPI.

Lin Yuan has worked in CPI for nearly 7 years, and her children are now one and a half years old.

September 9nd, Friday, at 2:3 in the afternoon, Gao Yang received the Goose Factory COO Zeng Qin and his party in the office. On the 51 Group side, Gao Yang, Jin Yang and Fang Jian came forward.

It has been almost 8 months since we met last time. In these 8 months, the 51 Group has changed a lot.

If you look at the scale of user traffic, it is almost like a rocket-like development speed.

After sitting down, Zeng Qin still bluntly expressed his intention of coming:
"Mr. Gao, and Mr. Jin and Mr. Fang, just like meeting with the three in January, this time, I still represent the goose factory and come here with sincerity.

The development of the 51 Group is astonishing, and it is highly complementary to the business direction of the Goose Factory. Therefore, the Goose Factory sincerely hopes to cooperate with the 51 Group.

There are many options for the cooperation between us. Of course, the cooperation option that Goose Factory most hopes to reach is acquisition or capital injection. The specific conditions, I have been fully authorized by the board of directors, and can be discussed... "

Gao Yang smiled slightly: "Mr. Zeng, I remember meeting in January, and I expressed my sincere attitude. We thank Goose Factory for its attention and attention, but 1 Company has no intention of transferring equity or accepting new investors.

Now, with its own efforts, 51 Group is developing well, meeting investors' expectations.

From Mr. Zeng's standpoint, I would like to ask, if 51 Group wants to acquire your QQ, are you willing to sell it? "

Zeng Qin's face froze: "Mr. Gao is joking, QQ is the core asset of Goose Factory, and Goose Factory is a listed company with a current market value of nearly 17 billion U.S. dollars."

Gao Yang asked with a smile: "What Mr. Zeng means is that if Goose Factory is willing to sell QQ, we 51 Group can't afford it?"

Zeng Qin suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Mr. Gao, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say that QQ has always been the cornerstone of Goose Factory's development, and it is not for sale at Goose Factory."

Gao Yang laughed again: "President Zeng, please don't mind, I was just joking, of course, we really can't afford QQ.

As Mr. Zeng said just now, QQ is the cornerstone of the development of Goose Factory, and it is not for sale.For 51 Group, the various projects currently in operation have the same meaning, and they are not for sale.

We focus on the innovative development direction centered on social platforms. If Goose Factory is willing, the two parties can of course carry out some cooperation or explore cooperation at some business levels.

China's Internet industry is developing rapidly. For example, Baidu was listed on the US stock market not long ago, and its market value once reached 55 billion US dollars.

Huaxia has a huge population base, which has great advantages for the development of the Internet industry. In recent years, the Huaxia Internet market has become larger and larger, and many excellent entrepreneurial companies have emerged.

From the standpoint of the 51 Group, everyone will develop well, compete in a healthy way, and jointly promote the development of the entire Huaxia Internet market.

You don't have to rely on capital power to play the game of big fish eating small fish, right?
On the contrary, if China's Internet companies grow stronger, it is best to set their sights overseas and acquire those start-up companies in overseas markets. This will also benefit the development of the entire China Internet industry.

Mr. Zeng, what do you think..."

Gao Yang's words made Jin Yang and others couldn't help laughing, but Zeng Qin was very helpless, knowing that it was impossible to acquire or inject capital into 51 Group.

This is an awesome and maverick company that doesn't give capital any chance at all.

There is no shortage of money at all!
