Chapter 189 Ideal Education
In a private room of a private club on Chaoyang Inner Street.
Duan Yongji, Wang Yan and Mao Daolin were sitting on the sofa, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Duan Yongji blew out a smoke ring.
"You two, after such a long time, I believe you have all figured out that Wang Zhidong is really worthless.
Xinlang has nearly 100 million U.S. dollars on its books, but it refuses to pay dividends to us shareholders. If this continues, everyone will have to suffer from the northwest wind this year.
Therefore, he must not be allowed to continue to be in charge of Xinlang. "
Wang Yan and Mao Daolin nodded. In addition to reputation, their biggest purpose in serving as directors of Xinlang is to make money.
Anyone who blocks them from making money is their enemy.
“Since we want to drive Wang Zhidong away, the board of directors should not have agreed to his acquisition of the Hongmeng website.
If it succeeds and Xinlang turns a profit, there will be no excuse for him to leave. "Wang Yan said in a deep voice.
Duan Yongji shook his head.
"It is impossible for us not to agree. If we refuse something that is obviously beneficial to the development of the company at a glance, the word will spread and weaken our own prestige.
And I am still thinking about driving away Wang Zhidong, signing an agreement with Hongmeng, turning Xinlang into a profit, and strengthening our leadership over Xinlang. How can I refuse?
As for what you are worried about.
Haha, if Wang Zhidong wants to sign a contract, he has to go through our board of directors. When the time comes, we will do something about the contract amount, and we will just refuse to agree. "
"Having said that, we must also act quickly and be careful of long nights and many dreams. " Mao Daolin said.
Duan Yongji nodded, "The shareholders' meeting has just passed, so it is not appropriate to take action for the time being.
However, it is impossible for Hongmeng and Wang Zhidong to reach an agreement in a short period of time. So we have enough time to kill with one hit. ”
Duan Yongji smashed the cigarette butt on the table.
Mao Daolin and Wang Yan nodded.
After the discussion, the three of them left.
Duan Yongji had just gone to the bathroom and was about to leave when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Picked it up, looked at it, and quickly connected.
"Brother Liu, why do you have time to call me?"
"Are you in the club?"
"Yes."
"Come to Box 1 and introduce me to you."
"Who has such a big face? Is it actually worthy of you, Brother Liu, to come forward in person?”
“An interesting young man, you will know it when you meet him”
After agreeing, Duan Yongji put away his phone and walked towards the club.
Come to box number one.
Knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Listening to the familiar voice, Duan Yongji pushed the door open and walked in. In the luxuriously decorated box, sitting at the head was an imposing man wearing a suit and glasses. old man.
Sitting next to him was an elegant young man wearing a black suit and a golden tie.
"Yongji is here, come and sit."
Duan Yongji walked over.
"Brother Liu, who is...?"
"Let me introduce, this is Li Yanhong, the founder of Baidu Company, and a new member of our Taishan Club."
"It turns out to be Mr. Li. I've heard his name for a long time."
Li Yanhong stood up quickly and held the other person's right hand, speaking politely.
"Mr. Duan, you are very polite. I still have a lot to learn in front of a business senior like you."
Duan Yongji smiled slightly, took back his hand and sat on the sofa next to him. Come down.
“Brother Liu, you didn’t call me here just to introduce Yanhong to me, right?”
"Of course not. Yanhong wants to discuss a business with you, let me be the intermediary to ask you out."
"Oh?"
Seeing Duan Yongji's questioning eyes, Li Yanhong smiled and said .
“I heard that Xinlang is negotiating with Hongmeng about the website encyclopedia deal?”
“That’s what happened.” After a pause, Duan Yongji continued, “Why, Baidu also has it? Interested? ”
"Baidu is indeed interested, but we also know that we cannot afford hundreds of millions of dollars in acquisition funds, so we plan to cooperate with Xinlang.
We Baidu can contribute part of the money Xinlang purchases Hongmeng website. . After the completion of the project, we obtained a certain share of the website and added Baidu’s search box to the homepage of the website. "
"How much does Baidu plan to spend and how many shares are needed? "
Xinlang does not have a search business, so it does not care who the search service provider is, but more concerned about how much money Li Yanhong can provide.
“10 million US dollars, 5% of Hongmeng website shares.”
"Yan Hong is so generous?"
Duan Yongji was a little surprised.
According to the current selling price of Hongmeng website, you can get at least 8% or even 10% of the equity for US$10 million.
Li Yanhong smiled, "Brother Duan should know that we at Baidu are in the search business, so we value adding the search box on the homepage of the website more than shares."
If it weren't for Xu Liang's calculation He would not sell the website directory to Baidu, and he would not pay such a high price to cooperate with Xinlang.
Duan Yongji nodded slightly, "The CEO and president of Xinlang is Wang Zhidong, Yanhong should go and talk to him."
"I believe that within Xinlang, Brother Duan's influence is greater than Mr. Wang."< br>
This sentence made Duan Yongji feel very comfortable.
"Yanhong has given you too much praise. But since Brother Liu is the guarantee in this matter, and you are so sincere, Yanhong, Xinlang is very willing to cooperate with Baidu."
"Thank you Duan Brother.”
Duan Yongji smiled and said: "But this matter cannot be rushed. I will call you personally when there is news."
"Then I will wait for the good news from Brother Duan?"
"Haha, no problem." "By the way, I have one more thing to ask Brother Duan."
"You tell me."
"How long will it take for the search service provider contract signed between Bing and Xinlang to expire?"
"Two and a half years."
Li Yanhong frowned.
Too long.
“I would like to ask Brother Duan, when you signed the contract, was there a liquidated damages clause?”
"Yes, 50 million US dollars."
Li Yanhong's heart skipped a beat, this was too much.
"Yanhong, although I also hope that Xinlang will cooperate with Baidu, unless you can come up with 50 million liquidated damages, there is nothing I can do."
Hearing this, Li Yanhong shook her head heartily.
Although Baidu made some money, he could not afford such a huge sum of money.
"Thank you, Brother Duan. I understand."
"Okay, we've almost finished talking about the business. Come on, let's have a drink first." Liu Zhuanzhi said with a smile.
“Cheers.”

“Mr. Xu, this is the enrollment situation of New Dream this year.”
He took the document from Teng Huaming's hand and read it.
The number of art students enrolled in the college entrance examination has exceeded 9,000. The number of art students enrolled in the college entrance examination is currently around 1,200.
“The number of children’s art students is a little small.”
“It’s a little small. However, we have just started this business and our influence has not yet spread. Moreover, we are currently only in Beijing. The business has not been expanded to the whole country.
If it is expanded, I believe the number of enrollment will increase greatly. ”
Xu Liang nodded.
"Mr. Xu, there is something I want to report to you." Teng Hua Ming said.
“You said.”
“Most of the commercial real estate we bought in Beijing covers an area of 7,500 to 10,000 square meters. At present, our children’s art enrollment is difficult to use so much. Many or even one-third of the venues are not available.”
“Those that are no longer needed can be rented out,” Xu Liang said.
"It can be rented, but when people mix, the safety risks will be infinitely magnified. Once there is an accident, our responsibility will be great."
Xu Liang frowned.
Teng Huaming’s worries are also justified.
Because most of the commercial real estate they bought are old buildings. Although the interior looks good after renovation, it is not as good as those high-end office buildings and it is difficult to attract those big companies.
People who come to rent office space from them are either small companies or small companies.
There is a large turnover of personnel and a mixture of dragons and snakes.
It is indeed unsafe to mix with most children who do not have much discerning ability.
“What are your ideas?”
“Carry out subject-based education and make full use of the space.”
Xu Liang frowned.
He was unwilling to engage in subject education because his future was limited to only twenty years.
But twenty years is not a short time.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Liang made up his mind.
“Subject-based education can be done, but it cannot be branded as New Dreams, and it must be independently calculated.”
He is clear about the prospects of domestic subject-based education, but others are not clear.
When the new brand is launched, it can send American money to the Nasdaq circle.
It is enough to sell out the equity before the deadline.
Teng Huaming immediately agreed, as long as Xu Liang allows subject education, independent accounting and new brands are just small sections.
The two discussed for a long time and decided to name this brand dedicated to subject education ‘Ideal Education’.
The general development strategy of ideal education was decided, and the specific matters were left to Teng Huaming.
"By the way, the art exam has started now, right?"
"The joint exams in each province have ended. Now is the time for the school exams in various colleges, but they will last until the end of March at most. April to May are Results announcement stage. "
"We must pay attention to those outstanding students. Their results are our best admissions brochures."
Ask. After some new dream operation situations, Teng Huaming was asked to leave.
Just as he was about to get up and walk around, his phone suddenly rang.
Looked at the caller ID and pressed the answer button.
"Sister Hong, why do you have time to call me?"
"Liangzi, during the Chinese New Year, you promised to let me go to your company for an internship. You won't forget it, right? ”
“How come, you can come anytime you want”
"Just one more week. I still have some things to deal with at school."
"Okay, call me when you get to the capital."
"Understood. By the way, Liangzi, I I heard that office politics is annoying, does your company have it?”
“But don’t worry, you are my cousin after all, no one dares to put on your shoes.”
"That's true. Also, Liangzi, you are considered rich and handsome now. Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Sister, you haven't even graduated from college, why are you so gossiping? If you want, there are many rich and handsome people in our company. I can introduce you to them."
"No, I still want to It’s time to be young and lively for a few more years.”
After chatting for a few more words, Xu Liang hung up the phone.
I walked around in New Dream and left near noon.
