Reborn Millennial Gamer

Resource Hotel, Room 1414.

Lu Fei can be regarded as revisiting his old place. He greeted Baidu 6 swordsmen and took Li Fuzhen to sit in Li Yanhong's office.

"Haven't you thought about moving? Can the space here keep up with the development scale of Baidu?"

"The Science and Trade Center has been rented and is being renovated."

Li Yanhong served two glasses of water, "I planned to rent Hailong Building and continue to be your neighbor, but unfortunately there is no floor for rent."

"Kemao is not far from Hailong, and we are still neighbors."

After Lu Fei exchanged polite greetings, he asked Zhou Hongyi in surprise.

Li Yanhong did not hide anything, and said in a calm tone that he wanted to merge 3721 and Baidu into a search company, but he was resolutely rejected, and he disliked 3721 as a rogue software.

Lu Fei rolled his eyes, your bidding ranking is not much better!

"But most fundamentally, 3721 is also doing search. How can there be a reason for the merger of the first and the second? Can Pepsi merge with Coca-Cola, and can KFC merge with McDonald's?"

Li Yanhong narrowed his eyes, "There is only competition between me and him, there is no possibility of merger."

"What about Sogou?" Lu Fei said with a sip.

"We are both enemies and friends, and we make progress together."

Li Yanhong wooed with words, and the boss of the search engine invited the third child to join the same camp to destroy the second child together.

"Are you going to deal with 3721?"

Lu Fei is not surprised, sooner or later.

America has brought down the five big brothers, Big Brother, the United Kingdom, Neon, Germany, and the European Union. The big two in the Internet are even more incompatible, because the platform wants to monopolize more traffic.

Otherwise, why did Baidu choose artificial intelligence? The threshold for browsers is low, and 360, UC, and Penguin all come to share the pie, so they have to change their outlets.

"Our newly developed 'Baidu Souba' is designed to deal with them. Li Yanhong nodded, and simply revealed the plan.

What 3721 relies on most is the plug-ins that are forced to be installed after the client downloads, and the "Address Bar Search" and "Search Assistant" are naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Hey, 3721 still wants to cooperate, and Baidu directly wants to kill him!
Lu Fei rubbed his mouth, "How can Baidu help Sogou, and also launch a Souba like you said?"

"No, you don't have to do anything."

Li Yanhong waved his hand. Apart from mp3721 search, Sogou, Baidu, and 3 are developing on two different tracks. Rather than relying on Sogou to fight, it is better to borrow the strength of Lu Fei.

Especially the public opinion, the four major sects and the three major ones are in his hands.

As an outsider, Li Fuzhen watched the two discuss the strategy of attacking 3721, and his heart was twitched instantly. It turned out that the Internet can be so exciting, and he couldn't help but imagine Line's grand blueprint.

Focusing on Lufei, I saw him crossing his legs and begging for reward leisurely. Li Yunlong put down the rebellion for Chu Yunfei and took away a battalion of equipment, so he couldn't work for nothing.

Li Yanhong understands that even if Lu Fei doesn’t mention it, he should be invited to participate in the C round of financing. It doesn’t matter how much the money is. What can the key financing company give Baidu?
Master Lu is famous, Huaxia Buffett.

Master Lu is talented and can give advice.

Most importantly, Mr. Lu has Sogou shares, but with Baidu shares, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, which is equivalent to paying a protection fee.

"How much does the C round need to raise?"

Lu Fei thought for a while, then knocked on the table.

"About 1500 million U.S. dollars." Li Yanhong said.

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, that's all?Let Li Fuzhen think I have no money when he sees it, so it costs 3000 million!
"Mr. Lu, there are only so many. We hope that the investors introduced will not affect Baidu's planning and decision-making."

Li Yanhong took a step back, half of the C-round quota belongs to him.

Lu Fei got up and stretched out his hand in satisfaction.

With 750 million US dollars, you can buy 113 million convertible preferred shares, and the cost per share is equivalent to 6.67 US dollars. You can hold it firmly in your hands for two years.
I vaguely remember that the closing price of ipo was 120 US dollars, and the yield was 1700%. The key search, social networking, e-commerce, online games, and portals are all my people. Who can play with me?
"The original purpose of my founding Sogou was to ensure the independence of Penguin and Feigou's search. We don't want to be the first. Between us, harmony should be the most important thing."

"I also feel that I can live in peace with Mr. Lu."

Li Yanhong hid the second half of the sentence in her heart, I don't want to be an enemy of Mr. Lu, it's not that the dung beetle came out of the hole, looking for shit!
The two sides shook hands and temporarily concluded a non-aggression pact.

"Go slowly, Mr. Lu."

"No need to send it away, there is a chance to go fishing in the reservoir."

Lu Fei was sent out of the door by Li Yanhong. He waved goodbye, turned around and walked into the Sogou base camp opposite.

Li Fuzhen was silent for the entire scene. It was the first time he witnessed Master Lu's energy in Huaxia. He was deeply shocked, only to realize that the pile of information he had collected was just the tip of the iceberg.

Lu Fei introduced the core members one by one, wondering: "Hey, why don't you talk?"

Li Fuzhen looked up and down, started from nothing, and achieved this achievement in three years, which was unthinkable in Bangziguo, but there is a living example in front of him!
She reminded weakly: "A Fei, 3721 fights with Baidu, the second boss, you are not afraid of your third brother..."

"Dead, right?"

Lu Fei smiled, "Don't be afraid! I'm not bragging. I want to be the leader of this search. It's easy to get, but unfortunately I can't do it."

After the words fell, Li Fuzhen was still dubious.

Accompanied by Zhou Feng, Yang Xin and others, from the database to the encyclopedia similar to Wikipedia, and then to the knowledge quiz, just like the equipment in Gaowan's warehouse, you never know how good the next one will be.

Suddenly, I realized that Master Lu was right!
She seemed to know him again, worshiping him from the bottom of her heart, "A Fei, how much of you do I not know?"

"Want to know?"

Lu Fei grabbed her hand with a smirk, "One day there will be a chance like last time, late at night, burning beer, would Nuna be willing to drink with me under the moon?"

"Again, in public, call Madam..."

Li Fuzhen turned his head away, his five fingers were clasped by his five fingers, he broke free a few times symbolically, and gave up again.

Lu Fei blinked and said, "Hey, ma'am."

………………

"Hen tui! Disgusting! Disgusting!"

Zhou Hongyi came to IDG looking for Xiong Xiaoge, who was a strategic investor of 3721.

"I have advised you not to cooperate with Baidu, but you just don't listen!"

Xiong Xiaoge shook his head. In fact, he also has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. Baidu IDG has shares, and 3721 also has shares. Merging into one listing is far less profitable than two listings.

"I can't find it."

Zhou Hongyi shook his head helplessly. The development of 3721 has exceeded his ability to control. The future prospect is like the fog of war, and a guiding light is needed.

"Just as I said, hurry up and go public."

Xiong Xiaoge sighed, "Companies such as Penguin, Huicong, and Baidu are all planning to go public. 3721 is no worse than Baidu. It is absolutely no problem to accept shares."

"No, no, I can't take stock."

When Zhou Hongyi thought of dealing with foreigners, his English was so embarrassing that he repeatedly refused to go public.

"This won't work, and that won't work. What do you want to do?" Xiong Xiaoge smiled helplessly, "If you hesitate, you will ruin 3721's bright future in vain."

Zhou Hongyi paced back and forth, "I still want to merge, whether I merge with him or he merges with me, Mr. Xiong, please find me some acquirers who are worthy of 3721."

"Thought it out."

Xiong Xiaoge acted vigorously and made arrangements immediately.

The first one came the next day, the new wolf.

Wang Yan offered 3000 million dollars worth of shares without hesitation. At this moment, Xinlang's market value is only 1.2 million dollars, which is equivalent to taking out 25% of the shares to exchange for shares.

Once the transaction is successful, Zhou Hongyi will become the largest shareholder. However, he feels that 3721 is not compatible with Xinlang.

Xiong Xiaoge didn't talk too much, so he called Sohu again on the third day.

Zhang Chaoyang saw that Baidu and Sogou became bigger and stronger, and it was even rumored that NetArt was already negotiating a C round of financing with Sogou. He paid more attention to search engines and raised the purchase price to 3500 million US dollars.

1500 million in cash and 2000 million in preferred shares.

At this moment, Sohu's market value is also around 1 million, not only is it the second largest shareholder after Zhang Chaoyang, but it can also serve as CTO.

Zhou Hongyi didn't make a decision right away, and shopped around.

After all, 3721 is the second largest search engine in the country. The top Internet companies are not greedy, and they offer olive branches one after another.

Jinshan, TOM, Kongkong.com, Alibaba...

For a while, Zhou Hongyi fell into a difficult choice.

"You are the one who wants to be merged, and you are the one who can't be selected. Old Zhou, why do you have so many questions?"

Xiong Xiaoge was completely speechless, "You didn't mean to torture me on purpose, did you?"

"Mr. Xiong, don't do this, Mr. Xiong."

Zhou Hongyi showed an embarrassed smile: "This time I really thought it through, I want to sell myself, no, 3721 wants to sell myself, I found that many companies want to buy 3721, why don't I just sell it!"

"Okay, okay, I'll help you again."

Xiong Xiaoge can't wait to get rid of this evil star immediately, and call other IDG executives, such as Wang Gongquan, Guo Yihong, etc., as consultants, whether to sell to overseas companies or domestically.

"Of course overseas!"

Wang Gongquan blurted out, "You see, eBay spent 1.6 million US dollars to buy eBay. Overseas companies are willing to spend a lot of money to enter China, and they will definitely be able to sell at a high price."

Xiong Xiaoge nodded, "I also have the same opinion. Most of the domestic mergers are mergers. Take Sohu as an example. Did you listen to Zhang Chaoyang, or did he listen to you?"

Zhou Hongyi thought it made sense, but he still asked Guo Yihong who hadn't spoken.

"Speaking of it, why did I forget one person?"

"Who?"

Xiong Xiaoge, Zhou Hongyi and the other three cast their gazes together.

"Who else, Lu Fei!"
