Lu Yatong and Li Xingping have been talking for several hours.

Li Xingping's initial offer was very vague. He wanted to exchange hao123 for 0.5% of Haobo Technology's shares, plus 1000 million in cash. Lu Yatong directly rejected it. 0.5% of Haobo Technology's shares are currently worth tens of millions, and the room for appreciation is immeasurable. Li Xingping's offer was simply a pipe dream.

Lu Yatong coldly gave Li Xingping a sad offer: 1000 million for the whole package.

Li Xingping's purpose of quoting a high price was to leave room for himself. After all, the other party would definitely bargain. If the starting point of bargaining was higher, the transaction price might be higher. However, he did not expect that the offer given by Haobo Technology would be so low. Ten million for the whole package?

Before Haobo Technology started pp123, many Internet companies had offered it more than million yuan, but it was rejected because it was too low. Now Haobo Technology is only offering million yuan, which is simply a slap in its own face.

Although Lu Yatong is pretty, she is not soft-hearted. She said to Li Xingping in a condescending manner: "When the pp123 project was still in preparation, a strategy was formulated to completely defeat hao123. To be honest, before you contacted us, we had no intention of acquiring hao123. Hao123 is useless to us. You are the founder of hao123, and you should also understand that the valuation of hao123 depends entirely on traffic. Apart from traffic, hao123 has no accumulation, and it doesn't even have a real product. How much do you think we will pay for hao123's declining traffic?"

Li Xingping said without giving up: "At least the traffic of hao123 is still stable. We have a large number of highly sticky users."

Lu Yatong nodded: "You are right. Hao123 does have a group of high-viscosity users. But don't worry, we definitely have strategies for these high-viscosity users. We will try our best to convert the high-viscosity users of Hao123. I believe you also know something about our offline promotion. It won't be long before we can at least convert more than 123% of the traffic from Hao."

Lu Yatong used the word "transformation", which is actually a euphemism. To put it bluntly, Haobo Technology is trying to "grab!"

Li Xingping didn't want to think about the offline advertisements of pp123 that he had seen these days. It was simply a nightmare for him and made him feel uncomfortable.

Later, Li Xingping gave up his shares and set the purchase price at 30 million, but this price was still unacceptable to Lu Yatong. Li Xingping made some concessions, but Lu Yatong did not show any mercy and her offer was still 10 million.

Li Xingping insisted that hao123 still had value and refused to give up 123 million. After several rounds of negotiations, Lu Yatong waved her hand with a bored look on her face and said, "Mr. Li, to be honest, I don't have time to bargain with you. We don't want to buy hao, but you want to sell it to us. If you really want to make a deal, then give me a real price, otherwise there is no need for us to talk. When you come to Beijing this time, you can make appointments with other Internet companies to see if they have any intention of acquiring it."

Then Lu Yatong said: "If no one is willing to take over, you can continue to keep hao123. After all, it is still very valuable to you. But you can learn from QQ. After all, QQ is not gone now. They just stop updating and maintaining it. Its previous valuation was several billion. What about now?"

Li Xingping was completely dejected, but he still wanted to make a final struggle. Lu Yatong stood up and said, "How about this, Mr. Li? I have a meeting and I'm afraid I don't have time to talk today. How about you think about it carefully and we can talk tomorrow when we have time."

When Li Xingping saw this, he knew that there was no way to talk anymore today, so he could only nod and ask very politely, "When are you free tomorrow, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yatong thought for a moment and said, "My schedule tomorrow is very full, so we can only arrange it in the evening, around 6 to 8 o'clock. I'll ask my assistant to contact you tomorrow for the specific time."

Li Xingping had a very bad impression of Lu Yatong, thinking that she was arrogant and rude, but he didn't know that Lu Yatong's performance today was specially prepared for him. Although he was annoyed, he was also aware of his current situation. He was completely passive and could only do what Lu Yatong wanted.

After Li Xingping left, Lu Yatong came to Zhou Hao's office and reported the negotiation situation to him. Zhou Hao smiled calmly after listening: "In fact, if we didn't have pp123, and we gave him another year or two, hao123 could be valued at over million."

Lu Yatong did not doubt Zhou Hao's vision and smiled slightly, "Although it may be very valuable, we have to face the reality after all. At present, besides us who will buy hao123, who else will be interested in it?"

Zhou Hao nodded: "Business is cruel and there is no mercy. We are just competing within the legal framework. Once the law doesn't take care of the place, everyone will become a thief and robber. We are like this, and so are others."

Lu Yatong nodded: "There is no other way, we are also competing under the rules.

Zhou Hao couldn't help but sigh: "Business competition is inherently cruel. If you are not cruel, your opponent will be cruel too. So, on the one hand, we must not let our opponent catch our weaknesses, and on the other hand, we must not leave room for our opponent."

Lu Yatong said: "Mr. Zhou, I think we should be able to acquire hao123 tomorrow, and the price should not exceed million."

Zhou Hao said: "If you can get it for less than 15 million, I will give you credit!"

……

Although Lu Yatong had never led a commercial acquisition, this time Zhou Hao gave her the negotiation for the acquisition of hao123, not out of trust in her, but out of training for her. So this time she not only made a lot of preparations in advance, but also considered how to play psychologically with Li Xingping.

The next day, Li Xingping, who had been depressed all night, waited for Lu Yatong to set a meeting time with him from the moment he woke up, but Lu Yatong never contacted him. He wanted to call Lu Yatong's assistant several times, but gave up. He was very passive now, and if he took the initiative to call, he would be even more passive.

The more Li Xingping felt this way, the more tormented he became. However, Lu Yatong intended to let him suffer for a while longer and deliberately asked her assistant to contact Li Xingping at 5:30 p.m. However, she did not ask him to meet her but told him that she was too busy and the meeting would be postponed for another day.

For a moment, Li Xingping couldn't help but walk away and buy a plane ticket back to Guangdong province, but he quickly dismissed the idea. He could be impulsive, but he couldn't go against money. It was easy to go back, but hao123 was doomed to fail. If he didn't sell it, it would just rot in his hands. The only way was to sell it, and sell it as soon as possible.

Li Xingping could only agree to a one-day delay, which subtly lowered his expected price in his mind to 20 million. If Haobo Technology could accept this price, he would immediately sign the agreement to sell it and would never delay any further.

Zhou Hao also felt that there would be no problem in getting hao123 this time. Once hao123 was in hand, many follow-up things would have to be started, so he found Guo Kaiyu and discussed with him what to do after getting hao123.

Zhou Hao first asked Guo Kaiyu whether the two functions he had asked him to develop last time had been completed. The two requirements were: adding a website source authentication function to the pp, making a graded list of website domain names, dividing the websites into green list, white list, and red list, and adding a keyword character blocking function to the pp.

Guo Kaiyu said: "It has been developed a long time ago. I told you before."

Zhou Hao nodded: "Taijiuji, I asked you to come here to confirm it, and on the other hand to talk about the follow-up plan."

Guo Kaiyu immediately sat up straight, "Is hao123 almost taken over? Just tell me what your subsequent plans are."

Zhou Hao said: "Yatong is still negotiating with hao123, but I think it will be done in the next two days, so we have to be prepared. Once Li Xingping sells hao123 to us, we have to immediately redirect the domain name of hao123 to pp123. At that time, hao123 will not exist except for a redirected domain name, so I ask you to do two things."

"First, after hao123 jumps to pp123, pp123 must no longer have any links related to Sina, not even one!"

"Second, any links to Sina, SNA, and Sina.com must be blocked in all PP products! We are declaring war on Sina!"
