Chapter 247
No response?
Qin Shaoyan was a little confused by the strange behavior of the two venture capital leaders. Logically speaking, for a project as important as YouTube, whether it is acquired or being acquired, it is a big deal.
Although YouTube has only been established for half a year, it has already become a dark horse on the Internet, with a valuation of one billion US dollars.
Whether it is a big project for Sequoia Capital or Microsoft, Taylor and Davis, as representatives of the capital, turned a deaf ear to it, and the other could not be contacted at all.
No matter what you say, it doesn't feel right.
But now that the YouTube team is almost here, Qin Shaoyan can only temporarily suppress his doubts and sing the scene in front of him well.
Everyone on his side is still on vacation, because the unexpected arrival of the YouTube team caught Qin Shaoyan's men off guard.
The other party's negotiation team has all arrived in the capital, but everyone on my side, except the boss, is still celebrating the New Year in their hometown.
It's okay if it's close, but it's too far away to fly back.
As the Spring Festival holiday is approaching and the peak season for return journeys begins, it is difficult to buy either tickets or air tickets.
I didn’t dare to refund the tickets I had finally bought. It was good to be able to buy tickets after refunding, but I would be crazy if I couldn’t buy tickets after refunding.
Of course, Qin Shaoyan, as the culprit, cannot blame his subordinates, because this is all caused by him.
While he comforted his men and told them not to worry, he also figured out how to deal with it.
Qin Shaoyan called Zhang Minyi and Fan Xiaoqian over, and gathered those who stayed in the company on duty and could come back in time to form a temporary negotiation team.
The craziest thing is actually Qin Shaoyan's Queen's Law Firm. Dong Songting, director of Junde Xinheng Law Firm, was stunned when he received the news.
Hey guys, the Spring Festival holiday is not over yet, so we are in a hurry to get to work.
You have to give advance notice if you work overtime. Dong Songting even said that he had settled down in the capital, but all the lawyers working under him had gone back to their hometowns for the holidays.
While mobilizing his contacts and calling friends in the capital for help, he prepared various materials and legal documents.
Since becoming the head of a law firm, he has not done these chores for many years. In the past, these were all done by junior lawyers or trainee lawyers at the bottom.
Now Dong Songting is just a polished commander, he has no choice but to take the lead on his own.
If Mr. Qin hadn’t given him so much money, Dong Songting wouldn’t have taken the job at all.
Early the next morning, Qin Shaoyan told his parents that he would work overtime today and would not be back for dinner, and then drove to work.
When I arrived at the company, I found that Zhang Pingyi and Fan Xiaoqian had already arrived. The two were sitting on chairs and seemed to be chatting very seriously.
After Qin Shaoyan walked over, he was a little confused after listening for a while. The two of them seemed not to be chatting, but to themselves.
Both of them are programmers, and what they talk about are all technical terms. They don't understand "null pointer" and "hash" at all.
Zhang Tianshi spoke slowly, as if he was thinking while talking, while Teacher Fan seemed to be reciting, so fast that he could hardly hear it, and their voices were mixed together.
It seems that the two people are thinking about something, but the scene is a bit strange.
Qin Shaoyan didn't want to disturb the two of them, so he sat aside and waited.
Almost a quarter of an hour later, Fan Xiaoqian stopped first. She hugged her chest with her hands as usual and pulled her fingers twice. She found that she didn’t bring her bass today, so she took out the Allegro in her pocket. .
"How is it?" Fan Xiaoqian said, "Am I right?"
Zhang Pingyi thought for a while, "The idea is right, but it is difficult to implement."
"That's right." It's your own business." Fan Xiaoqian said triumphantly, "If it's me, if my subordinates can't do the job, I'll transfer them to someone who can do it. Don't just stand there and do nothing."
"You ask them to add more logs to the server. Stupid people have stupid ways, but what's wrong with returning and checking every step?"
"It's not impossible from the bottom level." Zhang Pingyi said on one side While thinking about it, he said, "It's best to provide an interface."
Qin Shaoyan's face was full of surprise. You are really discussing technical issues, so why are you talking about your own issues?
How can I say that they are technical tycoons? They are really good at it. Now the two of them behave like programmers and technical nerds.
Usually, one of them studies plum blossoms like a magic stick, and the other studies rock and roll every day. They are two non-mainstream programmers.
Qin Shaoyan carefully interjected: "Two masters, have you finished discussing it?"
"It's over long ago." Fan Xiaoqian quickly stuffed the bamboo board into her trouser pocket, "Qin Any instructions? ”
"There are no instructions." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "The main purpose of inviting you two here today is to support the scene. There may be some technical questions that need to be answered."
Fan Xiaoqian was a little confused, "Then you can directly Can’t you just ask Zhang Tianshi? I’ve never done a video website, and I don’t have time to look at the code now.”
“It’s mainly because it seems crowded,” Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, “Anyway, Teacher Fan, you stay at home. It’s okay, come here and share your knowledge.”
“Oh, you should have told me earlier.” Fan Xiaoqian slumped lazily on the chair, “I was shocked, I thought I was going to be stuffed. Go to work on a video website.”
“That’s not possible.” Qin Shaoyan quickly denied, “Aren’t you going to let the sheep go after you leave the game department?”
"Thank you for your support, I'm not that capable yet."
"Look at what you said, who else in the game department besides Teacher Fan can hold it down."
Zhang Pingyi He was still sitting nearby in a daze, as if he didn't hear the conversation between the two people at all, and occasionally he would say something.
The three of them were sitting here chatting, and Dong Songting hurried in with a few people.
Except for Dong Songting, who acted calmly, several people behind him seemed a little flustered. They looked around curiously when they entered the office area of the campus network.
"Mr. Qin." Dong Songting came over and said hello, "I'm here."
"Thank you, Director Dong, I was pulled over before the year was over." Qin Shaoyan stood up and talked to Dong Songting Shaking hands, he said apologetically, "It's really an accident."
"It doesn't matter, as long as Mr. Qin has needs, we will try our best to satisfy him." Dong Songting joked, "Just don't do it again next time There was a sudden attack. I was brought here temporarily from another law firm. Don’t forget to pay the bills later.”
Qin Shaoyan nodded with a smile, “Don’t worry, you will definitely get the red envelope for overtime work.”
Dong Songting took out the thick legal documents from his briefcase as he spoke, "Mr. Qin, here are the materials for the acquisition case and various contracts. They are all ready for you."
"I just came in a hurry and didn't bring an English translator. When we communicated for a while..."
"It doesn't matter." Qin Shaoyan said nonchalantly, "Today's meeting is just a preliminary contact, and the other party must have brought a translator. "
"The acquisition negotiation is a long-term process and cannot be completed in a day or two."
"That's good, that's good." Dong Songting finally breathed a sigh of relief. This is the first time I have taken on this kind of acquisition business, and I feel quite panicked.
If Qin Shaoyan hadn't personally asked him to lead a team to do it, Dong Songting would not have dared to take it anyway.
I really have no experience. What if something goes wrong?
That was an acquisition worth hundreds of millions of dollars. However, Dong Songting still admires Mr. Qin. You see, Mr. Qin was talking about corporate acquisition for the first time, but he acted calmly and calmly, as if he didn't take the negotiation at all.
Well, Qin Shaoyan really didn’t take the negotiation seriously.
Everyone is just going through the motions, why should we be so serious?
Qin Shaoyan casually returned the document to Dong Songting, and asked everyone to find a place to sit down, preparing to say a few words to his men to set the tone for the next negotiation.
Just as he was about to speak, a group of people from the company suddenly rushed in.
The leader is Xiong Xiaoge, the chairman of IDG Venture Capital. Next to him are Zheng Nan, the president of China Sequoia, and Xu Xin of Today Capital.
Qin Shaoyan was startled and subconsciously moved closer to Zhang Minyi.
People on the campus network were also a little confused. Many newcomers who came today did not know Xiong Xiaoge and were stunned when they saw such a group of people suddenly appearing.
There was a brief silence in the company.
Zhang Pingyi looked at Qin Shaoyan, then at Xiong Xiaoge, a little confused, and then motioned to Qin Shaoyan, "Why are you still standing there, say hello."
"Oh, Mr. Xiong has a new year. Okay." Qin Shaoyan held Zhang Pingyi in front of him with a professional smile, "Mr. Zhang, please stop standing still and greet the guests. Why are you standing there when people come to visit?"
Zhang Pingyi? He also came to his senses and hurriedly called on others to act quickly.
Those who make tea make tea, and those who move chairs move chairs.
"No need to go to so much trouble." Xiong Xiaoge said expressionlessly, "Today we are here to discuss business. Mr. Qin, please come here."
Qin Shaoyan pulled a chair in front of him and made an invitation. Gesture, "Mr. Xiong, please sit down."
Xiong Xiaoge walked over and sat directly on the chair without saying a word.
The people who followed him in looked at each other, hesitant, wondering whether they should sit down.
Zheng Nan waved his hand, and the others sat far away.
Seeing this, Qin Shaoyan motioned for the others to leave first, leaving only a few of them sitting together.
Looking at everyone sitting down, Qin Shaoyan pretended to be confused and asked, "Mr. Xiong, you bosses are not at home to celebrate the Spring Festival. Why did you come to my little broken company together?"
" Mr. Qin was joking. "Xiong Xiaoge said in a sinister tone, "Your company has already made an acquisition worth hundreds of millions of dollars. How can it be so small?"
"A few of our shareholders came together today and wanted to see this. A large cross-border acquisition.”
Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, “Don’t you agree to sell?”
Xiong Xiaoge asked back: "We don't agree, but you want to sell."
"I didn't say I wanted to sell." Qin Shaoyan said without blushing or heartbeat.
“Why don’t you want to meet people on YouTube?” Xiong Xiaoge laughed angrily.
"Everyone is here to celebrate the New Year." Qin Shaoyan said confidently, "I have come all the way from the United States, so it would be really rude not to meet and chat."
" To put it another way, I am still a major shareholder of YouTube, and they have important things to report to me.”
Xiong Xiaoge had a straight face and said coldly: "Qin Shaoyan, it's meaningless for you to say this."
"You are also the CEO of Tangtang Campus Network and a well-known figure in the Internet industry."
"In front of us shareholders today, do you dare to tell the truth, what do you want to do when you meet the YouTube people?"
"What is there to be afraid of?" Qin Shaoyan said calmly , "I met them just to hear what price they can offer for Qvod.com, and then find you for financing based on this valuation." The words did not hold back at that time.
Zheng Nan acted very calmly, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Hou of Dachen Venture Capital couldn't get through, so he entrusted me to be the plenipotentiary representative. Today, all the shareholders of Qvod.com are here."
" This is not the first time we have dealt with each other. Let’s talk openly if we have anything to say.”
“Mr. Qin, what do you want to do by causing such a fuss?”
Qin Shaoyan is very sincere. Said: "I just want to make money."
Xiong Xiaoge frowned. This reason was so invincible that he didn't know how to refute it.
Xu Xin and Zheng Nan looked at each other and found that the other party was also speechless, so they said, "Mr. Qin, a gentleman loves money in a wise way."
Qin Shaoyan glanced at Xu Xin, "Mr. Xu, this What do you mean?”
“I am a major shareholder of Qvod. Is it illegal to sell my company?”
“Even if I can’t sell it, I will find a way to improve my company. Is the valuation wrong? ”
“I am doing this for the benefit of your venture capital, why can’t you understand my good intentions?”
"I just want to make money." Qin Shaoyan said plausibly, "What's wrong with me?!"
Xiong Xiaoge laughed angrily, "Mr. Qin's words meant that we were wrong, right?"
"Mr. Xiong misunderstood." Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "Our interests are the same, and I make money for you to make money."
Zheng Nan then slowly said: "Mr. Qin , it’s not that we don’t let you make money.”
“But Qvod has just been established for less than three months, so it’s not the most appropriate time to take action.”
"Quanbo.com can also raise funds if it wants to. I have discussed it with Mr. Xiong. As long as Mr. Qin opens his mouth, we can talk."
Qin Shaoyan frowned and glanced at the three of them, feeling that they were really misunderstood myself.
Although he repeatedly emphasized that he would not sell Qvod.com, Xiong Xiaoge, Zheng Nan, and Xu Xin obviously did not believe it.
Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "We can talk about anything."
"But a few bosses, YouTube's negotiation team will be here soon. Let's listen to what they say first, and then Let’s continue talking.”
Xu Xin suddenly became anxious. The YouTuber was not a good person. Who knew what his intentions were.
Zheng Nan was a little hesitant, but before he could speak, Xiong Xiaoge spoke first.
"Okay, let's wait until the people from YouTube arrive." Xiong Xiaoge stood up and said, "I'm just going to take a good look at Mr. Qin, what are you going to do?"
Here we talk about Cao Cao Cao Cao. As soon as we arrived, YouTube's negotiation team was already at the door.
A large group of people, accompanied by Edward, poured in happily.
