Chapter 572 Announcement
Gaoteng map headquarters.

After finishing the negotiation with Meide, Zhang Yuanxi stayed in the office and did not go back.During the three negotiations before and after, Zhang Yuanxi asked for a price of 35 billion yuan. Judging from the current contacts, Autohome represented by Zhou Fei showed the greatest sincerity, and the price has risen to 27 billion yuan. The other two, Baixun And Mei De's offer was only 23 billion and 25 billion, both lower than Zhou Fei's offer.

Given the current situation, no matter how the negotiations go on, it is impossible for Baixun and Virtue to offer higher prices than Autohome, so Zhang Yuanxi also decided to focus on negotiating with Zhou Fei, but at least the price of 30 billion yuan must be sold. This is also his commitment to the board of directors.

"How can I get Zhou Fei to raise the price to [-] million?" Zhang Yuanxi paced back and forth in the office. After all, [-] million is not a small amount. reason.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanxi's cell phone rang suddenly, and when he took it out, it turned out to be a call from the secretary.

"Calling at this time, is there any new acquisition offer?" Zhang Yuanxi muttered in a low voice, and then connected the phone.

"Chairman, just now Baixun and Virtue have announced that they will hold a joint press conference tomorrow." As soon as the call was connected, the secretary's voice came.

According to Zhang Yuanxi's instructions, the secretary has been paying attention to the movements of the three companies Feichi, Baixun and Meide, and will immediately report to Zhang Yuanxi whenever there is any new news.

"Joint press conference? Did you say what the specific content of the press conference is?" Zhang Yuanxi frowned slightly. How did the two companies get together, and it happened at such a time.

"I didn't say the specifics, but at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, Mr. Xu from Baixun and Mr. Chen from Virtue will attend the press conference." The secretary replied hastily.

Zhang Yuanxi fell into deep thought. Nine o'clock tomorrow morning was the time when he and Zhou Fei had the second negotiation. The press conference was scheduled at this time. It doesn't seem like a coincidence to say anything.

"I see. You help me keep an eye on this matter. If there is any progress, report to me as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuanxi also hastily opened the browser, and indeed saw the news that Baixun and Meide were going to hold a joint press conference, but the two companies only announced the matter without specific content.

"Could it be that Xu Yingteng and Chen Zhenyu are plotting something?" Zhang Yuanxi frowned and said.

The two companies competed to acquire Gaoteng Maps at the same time, but at the critical moment of the negotiation, they announced that they would hold a joint press conference.

Like Zhang Yuanxi, Zhou Fei and others were also puzzled.

Originally, a group of people were having dinner with Li Jianneng and other colleagues. Jiang Yang accidentally saw the notification on his mobile phone, so he informed Zhou Fei and others.

"It's strange, Xu Yingteng and Chen Zhenyu shouldn't be competitors at this time, why did they think of holding a joint press conference?" Ma Huafu said very puzzled.

"There must be something to announce, and it's related to the acquisition of Gaoteng... Is it possible that the two companies want to cooperate on this matter?" Zhou Fei is also puzzled, "You have heard of the joint acquisition case?"

"In the case of a joint acquisition... this can't be. Baixun and Meide's business in map software completely overlaps. Do they have a basis for cooperation?" Jiang Yang also frowned.

"If the two parties have reached some kind of agreement, agreeing to split the business of Gaoteng Maps and cooperate in the acquisition, it is not impossible. After all, the business focuses of the two companies are not the same. I think Mr. Zhou's guess is still possible. Yes." Li Jianneng on the side also analyzed.

"If it's true, as Mr. Zhou said, Xu Yingteng and Chen Zhenyu will cooperate to acquire Gaoteng Maps, and they will have to compete with the two companies in terms of funds. Then, won't our competitive pressure increase a lot?" Ma Huafu said worriedly .

"Not necessarily. If they really want to cooperate in the acquisition of Gaoteng, it just means that they are not rich in funds. That's why they came up with a way to cooperate in the acquisition. For cooperation, Gao Teng's offer will not reach the level of 35 billion, I think it is nothing to us, and the impact is not big."

Zhou Fei is still more optimistic. The original intention of the cooperative acquisition is to lower the purchase price. If it is really necessary to raise the price, why does Xu Yingteng cooperate with Meide.

"Many netizens are now guessing what Xu Yingteng and the others are planning. Fortunately, they put the time of the press conference at the time of our negotiations with Gao Teng, and they deliberately whetted our appetite." Jiang Yang said while reading the news.

Zhou Fei smiled, "Let's not care about that, tomorrow we will know what they want to do, and we should stay the same, Xu Yingteng deliberately hangs his breath, maybe it is to disrupt our plan, we can You can't follow his way."

It is estimated that the negotiations to change Zhang Yuanxi tomorrow are not over yet, and the theme of the joint press conference between Baixun and Meide will spread throughout the Internet.

At [-] o'clock the next morning, the second round of negotiations for Autohome's acquisition of Gaoteng Maps officially began. At the same time, the joint press conference between Baixun and Meide was officially held in the hotel where Xu Yingteng stayed.

There were at least fifty reporters participating in the press conference, and various cameras could be seen everywhere. With the appearance of Xu Yingteng and Chen Zhenyu, flashing lights came and went, and all the focus was on these two internet giants.

"Thank you for participating in our joint press conference in your busy schedule. I believe everyone is very curious. What is the purpose of our joint press conference with Baixun and Meide at this time?"

Xu Yingteng smiled, and continued, "Everyone knows that Baixun and Meide are competing to acquire Gaoteng Maps. Yesterday, Mr. Chen and I talked with Gaoteng's Mr. Zhang respectively, but Gaoteng's asking price has exceeded ours. I have talked with Mr. Chen about this, and Mr. Chen is also deeply touched."

"Mr. Xu is right. Last night when we were reminiscing about the past with Mr. Xu, we just talked about the reason for the acquisition of Gaoteng. Mr. Xu's Baixun is interested in the resources of Gaoteng Maps in traditional map services, but on the contrary. , our Virtue is aimed at Gaoteng map's food, hotel and other businesses, so I discussed with Mr. Xu, since we have different needs for the acquisition of Gaoteng, can we change the current competitors? Let’s look at the acquisition of Gaoteng from a more harmonious perspective.”

After speaking, Chen Zhenyu and Xu Yingteng looked at each other and smiled, and then Xu Yingteng continued, "So after careful consideration by Mr. Chen and I, we decided to work together to acquire Gaoteng Map!"
