Rebirth of the Wild Age

One million US dollars to buy out the Chinese website authorization, of course, is Song Weiyang's reserve price.

Even though Song Weiyang said that the algorithm for a $3 million buyout was the same, when Ding Ming was negotiating, he was killed and only gave $1 million.

At the second meeting, Ding Ming opened his mouth to explain his intentions, and he was more demanding than Song Weiyang's requirements: "300,000 US dollars, to permanently buy out pagerank's global Chinese website authorization, including Chinese in the United States, Singapore, Malaysia, Wanwan and other regions. website."

"Does the U.S. have a Chinese website?" Larry asked his addict.

Sergey said, "Use it."

Scott said: "Huayuan.com in the United States is the world's largest Chinese-language website."

Larry immediately trolled: "The price is too low, at least $800,000, and the US Chinese website authorization is not included."

Ding Ming said: "Then I will take another step of 400,000 US dollars. It must be authorized by a global Chinese website."

The three American tech houses looked at each other, and Scott said, "Sorry, we need to discuss it."

"Yes." Ding Ming said with a smile.

Zhang Chaoyang is not here today. He has gone to Wall Street. In fact, his main purpose of coming to the United States this time is to attract investment.

Last year, several American companies were willing to raise funds, but Song Weiyang disagreed life and death, not because he wanted to eat alone, but because he felt that the time was not yet in sight. But at the end of last year, Sohu.com launched its own "smart search engine". Although it was limited in intelligence, it was still recognized by netizens, and the number of daily visits increased rapidly.

After the Spring Festival this year, the average daily visit volume of Sohu.com has reached 180,000, which is second only to 400,000 people.cn in China.

At this point, the time is ripe to get in touch with Wall Street.

If you want to engage in the Internet in the 1990s, you must cooperate with Wall Street. Give up part of the equity and accept Wall Street financing, so that you can seek a listing in the United States, and there is no way out in China-unless you spend several years in a row without asking for a return.

The same is true for Google. After Song Weiyang invests, he must cooperate with Wall Street, otherwise Google will not be Google, and he will never want to grow bigger.

Ding Ming sat alone drinking coffee, while three American technical houses came to the street to discuss.

Larry said: "I think 400,000 US dollars is too little, and it is still a buyout technology, if it does not include the Chinese website in the United States, I can still consider it."

Sergey said: "I think 600,000 US dollars is more reasonable. The Chinese website in the United States cannot be authorized for them."

Scott said, "Larry, you acted too eagerly just now. You asked for $1.2 million. How could you say $800,000?"

Larry said: "Then our reserve price is 600,000 U.S. dollars, but return him 800,000 U.S. dollars, is this okay?"

"Yes, but the Chinese website in the United States cannot be authorized to him." Scott said.

Ding Ming is only half-hearted in commercial negotiations, but these three American technical houses are not as good as half-hearted. This is a negotiation called "Cooking at each other."

The Internet in the United States in 1998 has reached its peak of prosperity, even deformed. The bubble is getting bigger and bigger, leading to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in financing for websites with high traffic and advanced Internet technologies.

Hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars, the comparison is dazzling.

The two sides started negotiations again and quickly stalemate.

Ding Ming's offer is: 600,000 US dollars, to buy out the global Chinese website authorization.

Larry's counter-offer: US$500,000 is also fine, but Chinese websites in the United States are not included.

Ding Ming smiled suddenly: "Do you know Song Weiyang?"

"I haven't heard of it." The three American technical houses twitched suddenly.

Ding Ming said: “Mr. Song Weiyang is the big boss of our Sohu.com. He is also the boss of China’s second largest beverage and food company, the boss of China’s largest general software company, and the boss of China’s largest mobile phone manufacturer. By the way, he spoke with him last year. Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft had an exchange, which had a great influence in Chinese society."

Scott smiled: "It seems that Mr. Song is a very successful businessman in China."

Ding Ming said: "He just turned 22 not long ago and is still in the fourth year of university. Before I started my business, he was my university roommate."

"Oh, that's amazing!" Larry cried strangely.

Sergey, who immigrated to the United States with his family from the former Soviet Union, made no secret of his expression of disgust: "This Song, I am afraid he is a child of China?"

"Young anti," Ding Ming said, "Mr. Song's father was previously a target of struggle and had to go to rural China to become an educated youth. Even if he passed the exam, he could not go to university because his political review failed. Mr. Song I founded a liquor company by myself, but because I wanted to obtain equity in my company, I was imprisoned for several years."

Sergey sneered: "This is how the red country is. My parents couldn't stand the persecution of the Soviet Union, so they immigrated to the United States very hard."

Ding Ming said: "When Mr. Song's father was in prison, the family factory was on the verge of closing down and he was heavily in debt. Mr. Song was still in high school, he took over the family factory and turned a profit in two months. It took him another year to join the ranks. Top 20 on the Forbes China Rich List~www.readwn.com~ he had just entered college at that time."

Scott admired: "What a business genius!"

Larry asked, "So, what do you want to express? Is this related to our negotiation?"

“What I want to say is that Mr. Song’s business vision is very precise, and he is very young and very optimistic about the development of the Internet,” Ding Ming said with a smile, “Mr. Song has taken a fancy to your search technology and is willing to invest in helping you develop in the United States. company."

Sergey said, "Larry, this is a good idea. Maybe you should think about it."

Sergey is among the three, the most enthusiastic about starting his own company. He only participated in the research and development of Google's search engine. Google's algorithm technology has nothing to do with him.

Scott didn't care about this. He didn't participate in the research and development of search engines. He just helped two friends negotiate business.

The key lies in Larry's own thoughts!

Historically, these three have promoted search engines for nearly a year, and no company is willing to cooperate. After listening to Li Yanhong's speech, they thoroughly improved the search engine technology, and finally decided to start their own company.

The start-up capital was mainly borrowed by Larry, and he put together $1 million to start a business in the garage.

Ali's grandfather is an auto worker and his father is a computer engineer, so he has little savings. But his elder brother is rich. His elder brother is the co-founder of an Internet company, and he can bite the bullet and take out hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After thinking about it for a long time, Larry suddenly said, "I think, I'll take a trip to China to communicate with that Mr. Song in person."

"Of course." Ding Ming smiled.

Why doesn't Song Weiyang go to America by himself? Because it is not necessary.

He is a big boss, facing a few potential entrepreneurs, it would be too long to face each other in person, which is very unfavorable for negotiation.
