Chapter 238 Can’t sell it
Qin Shaoyan looked at Xiong Xiaoge expressionlessly, "Mr. Xiong, don't you agree with the figure of 120 million US dollars?"

"Besides, the valuation is a valuation, but it is not equal to the actual value."

"Then we will sell it based on the initial valuation, which is US$24 million. There should be many people interested."

Xiong Xiaoge was shocked and angry, "Who said I don't recognize it? Even if I don't recognize it, you can't just sell Kuaibo.com at the original price."

"Mr. Xiong, what you said makes no sense." Qin Shaoyan snorted coldly, "Our valuation per month is US$12 million, and I am selling it now for US$24 million."

"The valuation has doubled, and this is a real US$24 million!"

"Mr. Xiong, IDG and the other three venture capital companies have invested a total of US$2.4 million."

"In just one month, I helped you increase your return on investment tenfold."

“Have you ever seen an entrepreneur who is more efficient and cost-effective than me?”

Xiong Xiaoge was so angry that he was trembling with anger at Qin Shaoyan. Listen, are these human words?

He has never seen such a shameless person!
"Qin Shaoyan!" Xiong Xiaoge said angrily, "Don't think about selling Kuaibo.com at such a low price, I won't agree!"

"What's the use if you don't agree?" Qin Shaoyan retorted, "I'm the major shareholder."

"So what?!" Xiong Xiaoge said angrily, "We, IDG, Sequoia Capital, Today Capital, and Dachen Venture Capital, the four investors are unanimously opposed to you selling Kuaibo.com!"

"Although we only hold 20% of the shares, it is not difficult for us to prevent you from selling Qvod."

The threat in these words is very obvious. It would be easy for these venture capital investors to unite and try to mess up this matter.

It may not be enough for venture capital to succeed, but it is definitely more than enough for failure.

"Mr. Xiong, you are so cold to the hearts of our entrepreneurs." Qin Shaoyan said very displeasedly, "Entrepreneurs and venture capital must unite sincerely. It is too shameless of you to hold back. In the end, it is the interests of the venture capital that will be harmed. ah."

"Didn't you harm our interests by selling Kuaibo.com at a low price?" Xiong Xiaoge retorted unceremoniously.

"You said I sold it at a low price?!" Qin Shaoyan sneered, "Well, I'll just sell Qvod to YouTube for US$120 million. They can definitely accept this offer."

“Firstly, YouTube can open up the Chinese market, and secondly, the acquisition of Kuaibo.com will play a significant role in boosting YouTube’s valuation.”

"Qvod.com still has a license, so just focus on this, and YouTube will pay for it."

"One hundred and twenty million U.S. dollars, this price is quite acceptable."

"It's fifty times more than your initial investment, which is enough to deal with Mr. Zheng from Sequoia Capital and Mr. Xu from Capital Today."

"Daydreaming!" Xiong Xiaoge angrily shouted, "I will never let you sell Qvod.com!"

Hearing the quarrels and table-slapping sounds in the conference room, Zhou Dao led several deputies, fearing that something would happen, and hurriedly opened the door of the conference room and rushed in.

As soon as he came in, he saw Xiong Xiaoge roaring at Qin Shaoyan, while Qin Shaoyan looked particularly calm and calm, sitting on a chair and watching Xiong Xiaoge's rage.

"Mr. Xiong, getting angry won't solve any problems." Qin Shaoyan said slowly, "How about we call Mr. Zheng and Mr. Xu over together, and let's hold a meeting to vote."

"I don't think they would turn down the $120 million figure."

Xiong Xiaoge pointed at Qin Shaoyan, his face was very ugly, and he turned around and left without saying a word.

Zhou Dao and others who were standing at the door were full of surprise. They had only been out for a few minutes. Why did the originally enjoyable discussion start to get noisy?

Although Mr. Qin's quotation is indeed outrageous, this is not the first time that everyone has seen it. There is no need to be so angry, right?
Xiong Xiaoge left the campus network company with great enthusiasm, went downstairs and sat directly in the business car.

After Zhou Dao got in the car, he closed the door and cautiously persuaded: "Mr. Xiong, please calm down. Although the valuation given by Qin Shaoyan is indeed outrageous, there is no need for you to be so angry."

"It's not because of the valuation." Xiong Xiaoge said with a straight face, "He wants to sell Kuaibo.com."

"Ah?!" Zhou Dao was a little confused, "Sell Kuaibo.com? To whom?"

"He said sell it to YouTube." Xiong Xiaoge took a deep breath.

"It can't be sold." Zhou Dao said subconsciously, "How much does he want to sell Qvod.com?"

"One hundred and twenty million U.S. dollars." Xiong Xiaoge said through gritted teeth, "He is trying to force me into a palace!"

"Ah?" Zhou Dao's eyes almost popped out of his eyes in surprise, and he immediately became excited, "Mr. Xiong, this is a good opportunity. I think YouTube will agree. This will be beneficial to their valuation."

"What a fart!" Xiong Xiaoge glared at Zhou Dao, "Why did you still speak for Qin Shaoyan?"

Zhou Dao was stunned and looked at Xiong Xiaoge in surprise, "Mr. Xiong, you... don't want to sell?"

"How could such a good project be sold at such a low price?!" Xiong Xiaoge said in a tone that said he hated iron, "Don't lose the big for the small. The future of the video website is limitless. How could you sell the website for such a small amount of money?" "

As Xiong Xiaoge said this, he picked up his cell phone and called Zheng Nan from Sequoia directly.

"Mr. Zheng, I just came back from Qin Shaoyan. He wants to sell Qvod.com."

"What?!" Zheng Nan was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly, "We can't let him sell it, we must stop him!"

Xiong Xiaoge was very satisfied with Zheng Nan's statement, "Yes, I mean the same thing. I am very optimistic about the future of the video website. If we want to reach a united front, we must not let Qin Shaoyan sell the website."

"Mr. Xiong, why did Qin Shaoyan sell Qvod.com?" Zheng Nan felt a little strange.

How come this video website has only been open for a month, so why did it suddenly say that it was going to sell it?

"Qin Shaoyan said that he had spent all the financing and would start a second round of financing." Xiong Xiaoge said, "He gave a valuation of US$120 million and wanted to release 20% of the equity."

"What?!" Zheng Nan felt like the blood vessels on his head were about to pop out, "He's doing this again, right?"

"Tell him, there is no way we will agree to this valuation."

"I told him." Xiong Xiaoge snorted, "Then he will sell Qvod.com."

"Who can he sell to?" Zheng Nan laughed angrily, "Mr. Xiong, is he bluffing? Do you really think he can scare us?"

"Mr. Xiong, we made an appointment with Xu Xin. We must not agree to his conditions this time. We cannot be defeated by him every time."

"It's not a complete bluff." Xiong Xiaoge sighed, "He wants to sell Qvod to YouTube, and the asking price is US$120 million."

"How much?!" Zheng Nan was shocked, and felt a little dazed for a moment. If it were not impossible to sell it at this price.

Seeing that Zheng Nan was silent, Xiong Xiaoge's heart sank, and he quickly said: "Mr. Zheng, you must be steady, Qvod.net must not be sold."

"It can't be sold." Zheng Nan smiled awkwardly, "I'm a little surprised. Qin Shaoyan is too messy. This price is a bit outrageous. He is not afraid that YouTube will refuse him when he offers this price."

Xiong Xiaoge simply said directly, "His price is not arbitrary. YouTube may really agree to this offer."

"Why?" Zheng Nan was a little stunned.

"Because Google proposed to acquire YouTube, the asking price reached US$800 million." Xiong Xiaoge said, "If YouTube acquires Kuaibo.com and enters the Chinese market, its valuation will be at least US$1 billion."

"And Qin Shaoyan got an "Information Network Audiovisual Program License" for Kuaibo.com, which is the first license for an Internet company." Zheng Nan felt a current rush straight to his forehead, and he stood up in excitement. , said eagerly: "Mr. Xiong, we must not let Qin Shaoyan sell Qvod.com!"

Xiong Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief. Zheng Nan knew the basics and quickly realized the value of Qvod.com.

"Don't worry, as long as several of our venture capital firms join forces, Qvod.com won't be able to sell it even if it wants to."

Zheng Nan thought for a while, "I'll contact Xu Xin right away, and we can have a private chat together."

"Okay, let's do it!"

Xiong Xiaoge put down the phone and suddenly looked up at Zhou Dao, "Stop the car!"

The driver subconsciously stepped on the brakes and the commercial vehicle stopped on the side of the road.

Xiong Xiaoge said to Zhou Dao: "You, go back now and keep an eye on Qin Shaoyan from now on. Don't let go of his every move. If there is anything suspicious, report it directly to me."

"Ah?!" Zhou Dao was confused.

……

"The user you dialed is busy, please call again later...sorry"

"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."

Qin Shaoyan sighed and put down the phone, "It seems that Xiong Xiaoge is really angry and doesn't even answer my call."

"If it were me, I wouldn't answer it either." Zhang Pingyi teased, "Don't make Mr. Xiong angry."

"That's not possible. Mr. Xiong has a lot of energy and he won't be easily angered by me." Qin Shaoyan said nonchalantly, "Besides, I am also a clinical professional and can rescue people on the spot."

"Look at how considerate our entrepreneurial package service is. It not only provides emotional value, but also provides first aid services."

"..." Zhang Pingyi looked at Qin Shaoyan speechlessly, "You don't really want to sell Qvod.com, do you?"

"Not for the time being." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Quavo.com is not worth much now, and it will take two years to sell it."

"What about YouTube?" Zhang Pingyi asked again, "Does Google really want to acquire it for US$800 million?"

"Maybe." Qin Shaoyan said nonchalantly, "That may be the case."

"What does it mean to be possible?" Zhang Pingyi was shocked, "You are the major shareholder of YouTube. Is this something you don't know about?"

Then Zhang Minyi looked at Qin Shaoyan with suspicion, "You didn't lie to Xiong Xiaoge, did you?"

"Google is interested in acquiring YouTube, but they haven't had time to ask me yet." Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "I just predicted the matter in advance and told Mr. Xiong the result. This cannot be considered a lie."

Zhang Minyi was once again shocked by Qin Shaoyan's shamelessness, "Is this okay?"

"Of course." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "Now we just wait for Mr. Xiong and the others to pay."

"I don't think so this time." Zhang Pingyi shook his head, "You're a bit harsh with this stab. They can't agree to the valuation of 120 million US dollars."

"If they don't agree, then I will sell the website." Qin Shaoyan said without hesitation, "They have two choices, either agree to sell the website and lose both ways, or invest money in me and continue to build Qvod.com, a win-win situation!"

"How can selling the website be a lose-lose situation?" Zhang Pingyi was a little puzzled.

"Because if I really sell it, everyone will feel a loss afterwards." Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "And they will never let me sell the website. When the time comes, everyone will ruin it together, either continue to invest money in Kuaibo.com, or let Website valuation plummeted.”

"Ah?" Zhang Minyi was shocked, "Mr. Qin, you won't go that far, right?"

"Probably not." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Capital is profit-seeking. They will only choose the option with profit, so they can only continue to make money."

"Just watch, it won't be long before Mr. Xiong has to come back to me."

"You are a bit overconfident." Zhang Pingyi taunted disapprovingly, "You just lost your popularity, how could he come back."

Then Zhang Pingyi was shocked when he saw the confused Zhou Dao turning back.

Xiong Xiaoge wouldn't really come back, that would be too embarrassing.

After all, he is also the dignified chairman of IDG, so he must persist for a few days before coming back.

Fortunately, Zhou Dao came back alone, so Zhang Pingyi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly greeted him enthusiastically.

In the next few days, Zhou Dao appeared at the company on time every day as if he was working on the campus network, doing nothing but staring at Qin Shaoyan.

At first, Zhang Minyi was very polite to accompany Zhou Dao, but later he found that this guy had nothing to do, so he just sat there.

So Zhang Pingyi left him aside and went about his work.

February 2st is already the New Year's Eve, and people in the company can't help it anymore. Everyone is looking forward to the holiday for the New Year.

Qin Shaoyan also reduced everyone's workload in a humane way. Some employees who had a lot of annual leave asked for leave early and returned home.

The Spring Festival transportation at this time is also very scary. In 2005, the main force of railway transportation was green trains, and there was no real-name ticket sales. Online ticket sales and so on made returning home during the New Year a big problem.

Qin Shaoyan gave red envelopes to the employees, and then took the holidays a few days in advance so that the employees could start their journey back home early.

The Chinese New Year is getting closer, and there are fewer and fewer people in the company. Except for those who stay on duty during the Chinese New Year, there are only employees who live locally.

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was a working day. Qin Shaoyan came to the company early in the morning and directly announced a holiday, telling the remaining employees to go back and rest.

The employees cheered when they heard the good news, then quickly packed up and left the company.

At this time, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside. Qin Shaoyan expressed condolences to the employees who were left on duty and returned to the office.

"Mr. Zhou, do you plan to stay here forever?" Qin Shaoyan looked at Zhou Dao helplessly.

Zhou Dao sighed, "This is my job."

As long as Qin Shaoyan was here, he had to follow him, and he had been following him for a week.

It's just hard work. What Zhou Dao is most troubled about is not sure when Qin Shaoyan will take the holiday. He hasn't even bought a ticket to go home.

"Understood." Qin Shaoyan patted Zhou Dao on the shoulder with emotion, "They are all workers, and it is not easy to celebrate the New Year. I will also give myself a holiday, so Mr. Zhou doesn't have to follow me."

Zhou Daoru was pardoned and quickly stood up from his chair and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your understanding."

Qin Shaoyan took out a ticket from his pocket and patted Zhou Dao's hand with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, please go back and pack quickly. We have an afternoon flight."

"This...Mr. Qin is thoughtful." The dissatisfaction in Zhou Dao's heart disappeared immediately, "Mr. Qin, happy Spring Festival."

"Well, happy Chinese New Year, see you next year."
