Chapter 273 Plan B
Zhang Pingyi looked at Qin Shaoyan with suspicious eyes, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed and said nothing.
Qin Shaoyan directly picked up the phone and dialed Davis, "David, do you have time today?"
"Let's talk in the afternoon. I have something to talk to you about. "
"It's very important. I'll take a leave from the doctor first. We'll see you in the afternoon."
Qin Shaoyan glanced at Zhang Minyi and asked tentatively: "Will you go with me this afternoon?"
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Minyi was a little surprised.
"Invest for Senior Brother Chen." Qin Shaoyan replied matter-of-factly.
“No.” Zhang Minyi looked at Qin Shaoyan in shock, “Are you serious?”
“Of course it’s true.” Qin Shaoyan felt that Zhang Minyi’s reaction was inexplicable, “I Qin Shaoyan always keeps his word.”
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look." Zhang Minyi felt something was wrong no matter what, and out of curiosity, he wanted to see what Qin Shaoyan was going to do.
At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and came in, and said cautiously: "Boss, the driver you are looking for is here."
Qin Shaoyan became happy, "Then let him in."
After a while, the secretary brought in a young man who looked very capable.
He is not tall, about 1.7 meters tall. He has a shaved head and wears a rather old loose cotton coat. His eyes are bright and shining.
Qin Shaoyan took the resume from his secretary and glanced at it a few times, "Hao Dashan."
"Here!" Hao Dashan straightened his back subconsciously and put his hands together on both sides of his thighs.
"This is not in the army, so there is no need to be so restrained." Qin Shaoyan looked at Hao Dashan for a few times, "How many years have you been driving?"
"You have been driving in the army for five years." Hao Dashan He replied, "But I drive a special vehicle."
"Can you drive a car?"
"I've driven a jeep before."
Qin Shaoyan nodded, "As long as you can drive it, if you're not used to it, just practice with the car in the yard."
"Drive around more. Turn around so you can find the way."
"Okay, Mr. Qin," Hao Dashan replied.
"Hey, you are still from the capital." Qin Shaoyan said with interest, "Are you familiar with the roads in the capital?"
Hao Dashan replied: "I can't say I'm familiar with it. My family is in Tongzhou, but I lived in the Second Ring Road when I was a child, so I am familiar with that alley."
Qin Shaoyan was very satisfied with Hao Dashan's answer and did not brag. Exaggeration.
"Which army did you serve in?"
"Armed Police Mobile Detachment." Hao Dashan replied, "I can't say the specifics."
"Very good "Qin Shaoyan laughed, "Let me ask you a question, how many knife-wielding gangsters can you deal with?"
"I can't deal with any of them." Hao Dashan said sincerely, "My advice is to run as fast as you can in the end when you meet a gangster. Don't go up and confront him head-on."
Qin Shaoyan was overjoyed, "Not bad, not bad, you will be mine from now on." "Xiao Liu, please take him to go through the onboarding procedures."
The secretary agreed and took Hao Dashan out.
Qin Shaoyan looked at Zhang Pingyi, "This guy is nice, he looks smart and clever."
"It's really good. I'll hire a driver later." Zhang Pingyi nodded.
......
Hao Dashan went to work directly that day. He wiped the car clean with a linen cloth. He sat in the driver's seat and felt the luxury of the Audi A8. He touched the steering wheel with some caution. .
Qin Shaoyan got into the car wrapped in thick cotton clothes, reported his address, and then asked: "Do you know where it is?"
"Yes." Hao Dashan started the car, He drove out steadily.
He safely delivered Qin Shaoyan to his destination without any fighting or scrambling along the way. He parked the car and said, "Mr. Qin, I'll be waiting for you in the parking lot. If you need anything, call me."
"You have a mobile phone. "?" Qin Shaoyan asked.
"No." Hao Dashan was a little embarrassed, "I just came back not long ago and didn't have time to apply for a card."
Actually, he was reluctant to buy a mobile phone. He didn't expect to find a job so quickly. .
“Go back to the company to get one.” Qin Shaoyan said casually, “It’s inconvenient not to have a mobile phone.”
"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Hao Dashan suddenly asked, "Do you want me to go up with you?"
"No, I'll just deal with a few foreigners today." Qin Shaoyan smiled, and went straight to Dai Dai with Zhang Pingyi Weiss walked to the hotel where he stayed.
When Davis saw Qin Shaoyan, his face was full of joy. He enthusiastically invited Qin Shaoyan in and brought him a bottle of wine, "Would you like some drinks."
"Ahem, cough, cough, No." Qin Shaoyan coughed hard, "I'm not feeling well yet."
"Oh, what a pity." Davis said with regret, "I've treasured this for a long time, so next time. Drink more.”
"John, you took the initiative to come to me today. Have things turned around?" Davis asked expectantly.
"It's a pity." Qin Shaoyan spread his hands, "They have no intention of changing their mind."
Davis's face was stunned, very disappointed, "Walterfalk, they don't want to Let’s talk again?”
“Greed is the original sin.” Qin Shaoyan sighed, “Since they don’t want to talk, I advise you not to have any hope anymore.”
“Damn it. "Davis looked unhappy, stood up directly, and said angrily, "John, you have to give me an explanation, you are responsible for what happened."
"Sit down!" Qin Shaoyan coughed a few times and glared at Davis, "You look like you're in a hurry."
"This matter has nothing to do with me anymore. It's totally inappropriate for you to ask me to take responsibility." It doesn’t make sense.”
“Don’t you think about yourself? The failure of this negotiation is entirely your responsibility.”
Davis stood up again anxiously, “Follow me. What does it have to do with it?"
"If you hadn't been procrastinating and refused to let go, how could it have developed like this?" Qin Shaoyan asked seriously, "You reacted too slowly and made the other party think twice. time, which ultimately led them to regret it.”
"If you had agreed to their offer from the beginning, they would have sold it right then."
"Apart from anything else, do you think you are not wrong?"
David Si was stunned for a moment and did not react.
“It’s meaningless to hold anyone accountable for their mistakes now.” Qin Shaoyan changed the subject, “What we have to do now is how to formulate Plan B.”
“Plan B?” Davis Repeated, frowned and asked, "What plan B?"
"Plan B is a remedy for the failure of negotiations." Qin Shaoyan said solemnly, "Actually, I have imagined before that in the event of an accident, remedial measures will be needed to recover the losses."
David Si was a little surprised, and then asked: "In other words, you knew you would fail."
"Fake!" Qin Shaoyan said dissatisfied, "If I had known I would fail, I would have told you plan B in advance "
"I just said that I had such a plan, but it went too smoothly in the early stage, which made me a little careless, so I gave up the plan."
"But now. It’s not too late to start over.”
Davis couldn't care about anything else. He sat up straight and urged: "What is your plan B?"
"Since the plan to acquire Qvod.com failed, it's better to change the target. "Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "It has only been more than three months since Qvod.com was established."
"It just takes a little more time to build a video website from scratch."
Davis was stunned for a moment and began to think, "You mean to re-establish another Qvod network?" "That's right." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "In three months, we can save 300 million US dollars. Is this true? Isn’t it a good deal? ”
Davis's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that this was a good statement.
This plan is sufficient to deal with the headquarters’ doubts about the bankruptcy of the acquisition plan.
It’s not that I messed up the negotiation, but the other party’s asking price was too high. For the sake of cost savings, re-acquiring a video website is the best choice.
"Very good!" A smile gradually appeared on Davis's face, "This is indeed a great Plan B. I think we are well prepared to handle the headquarters."
"Yes, we have to plan carefully how to work together to overcome the current difficulties." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Otherwise, YouTube's own valuation will be affected."
Davis nodded, he quite recognized Qin Shaoyan's words.
The failure of the acquisition plan will not only affect the headquarters' evaluation of his ability, but may also affect YouTube.
In this matter, the interests of the two people are consistent.
So there is no problem with Qin Shaoyan's motive for coming to talk to him about Plan B. At least he doesn't have to worry that Qin Shaoyan will trick him, which would be detrimental to both of them.
"So where do we start?" Davis asked.
"Let's start by unifying our stance with Kuaibo.com on how to face the news media to resolve the impact of failed negotiations." Qin Shaoyan replied, "In this matter, their interests are consistent with ours."
"The failure of the acquisition plan will also affect the capital market's evaluation of them, so they will definitely cooperate with us."
Davis was very unhappy. The other party had cheated him, and he still wanted to help. The other party maintains face.
But the shopping mall is not a place to be driven by emotion. He cannot bring his personal emotions to work. Only interests are eternal.
"They have to cooperate with me well." Davis said in a strong tone, "You must do what I say, otherwise I will not save face for them in front of the media."
"We have successfully reached an agreement. This is a good start." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Let's call the reporters over today."
"I want to discuss it with the public relations director first." Davis frowned brow.
"The vice president of TNB, he is very good at dealing with reporters. He used to do Facebook's public relations." Qin Shaoyan suggested, "How about I call him over?"
"Is that Edward Damon?" Davis thought for a moment and asked, "Is he reliable?"
"Don't worry, he is one of our own." Qin Shaoyan assured him.
Davis nodded and said, "Okay, let him participate."
Edward was soon called over to discuss with Davis, and then the two drafted a press release.
Then Edward began to contact reporters he was familiar with to start public relations.
……
The next day, a piece of news detonated the Internet.
Negotiations for YouTube to acquire Kuaibo.com failed, and Kuaibo.com rejected the other party’s acquisition.
David Banks, as the head of the negotiations, expressed regret to reporters and expressed his disappointment with Qvod Network.
YouTube is very optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese market and intends to enter the Chinese market and develop more in-depth cooperation with local Internet companies.
In terms of acquisition negotiations, YouTube showed great sincerity and made an offer of up to US$300 million.
However, the gap between the price demanded by Qvod’s shareholders and YouTube’s offer was too large, which YouTube could not tolerate, so Qvod suspended the negotiations.
David Banks's speech was very irritating to Qvod.com and showed great resentment.
However, in the end, David Banks said that even if the acquisition negotiations failed, this would not affect YouTube's determination to enter the Chinese market.
YouTube will continue to cooperate with local Chinese Internet companies and look for new suitable partners.
As soon as the news came out, the Internet was in an uproar.
The acquisition negotiation between YouTube and Qvod.com is the biggest news on the Internet recently. Newspapers and magazines have been reporting on it for a week, making it well known to all netizens.
Now it is revealed that the two parties broke up on bad terms, attracting even more attention.
The focus of everyone's attention is YouTube's acquisition price of US$300 million, which shocked everyone.
Three hundred million dollars to acquire a website that was just three months old.
This is the first sky-high acquisition case since the rise of China Internet.
Are video websites that valuable?
Internet entrepreneurs and the capital market are even more shocked. The speed at which Qvod.com makes money is faster than robbing money.
Faced with the heated discussion on the Internet, Qvod.com quickly came out to respond to the public opinion.
Quavo.com issued a statement. The announcement first thanked everyone for their attention to Kuaibo.com.
Reviewed the great achievements achieved by Qvod Network in the three months since its establishment, commented on the current popularity of the Internet, and looked forward to the great prospects of Qvod Network in the future.
At the same time, the announcement listed a long list of figures, which proved how rapidly Qvod Network was developing.
During the negotiations with YouTube, both parties agreed highly on the future of Qvod.com.
After careful consideration, the bright future of Qvod.com should not be constrained. Chinese local Internet companies can also become stars of the world's Internet.
Therefore, Qvod.com decided to terminate the acquisition negotiations and strive to take root in China Internet and bring more and better services to users.
Facing the announcement of Qvod.com, discussions on the Internet were very lively.
Some people think that Qvod.com is too greedy and its acquisition failed.
Some people refuted that this was acquired by YouTube on its own initiative, and it was not that Qvod.com was rushing to sell it. Moreover, YouTube had already offered a price of US$300 million. Don’t they understand the value of Kuaibo.com better than you?
More people are confused, why is Qvod.com unwilling to sell?
Does Kuaibo.com think its value is higher than US$300 million?
The heated discussion on the Internet became more and more intense, and then a photo was posted on the portal.
People from YouTube and Kuaibo sat together again to discuss how to establish "strategic partners".
It seems that the relationship between the two parties has not been affected by the failure of acquisition negotiations, but has begun a new round of cooperation.
Netizens are watching this gossip for fun, but people in the Internet industry see something different.
YouTube is eager to enter the Chinese market. Since Qvod.com refuses to sell it, do we have a chance?
Among them, Peng Xiaolin from Lenovo jumped up and down, found Davis through connections, and expressed his willingness to cooperate.
“I invested in a video website called Tudou.com.” Peng Xiaolin opened the Tudou website on his laptop, “This is our latest launch.”
Davis took a few glances and politely affirmed, "It looks good, how do you want to cooperate."
"I can also negotiate, I can also sell." Peng Xiaolin said quickly.
Davis looked at the other person up and down, and then asked seriously: "Do you have an "Information Network Audiovisual Program Dissemination License"?"
Peng Xiaolin was dumbfounded and asked subconsciously Said: "What certificate?"
""License for Information Network Broadcasting of Audiovisual Programs"!" Davis asked impatiently, "Do you have it or not?"
"Uh, we don't have one."
"Then you can leave." Davis impatiently issued an eviction order.
Peng Xiaolin was not willing to let go of this opportunity and said quickly: "Wait a minute, this matter is easy to discuss."
At this moment, Qin Shaoyan walked in with Chen Guangxia and saw Peng Xiaolin While pestering Davis, he said in surprise: "You are meeting guests, I'll come back later."
"NO!" Davis quickly stopped Qin Shaoyan who was about to leave, "Wait a minute , John, I'll send him away immediately."
"Mr. Peng, please go out, right now, and don't bother me again, okay?!"
Peng Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, looked at Davis, then at Qin Shaoyan, and reluctantly picked up his bag and left. Got out.
Davis stood up enthusiastically and came towards Qin Shaoyan, "John, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come and sit down."
