Since 2000 - VChapter 71: : popular

Whether Zhou Hongyi was making smoke bombs, he couldn’t tell now.

Originally, I just said some angry words, and by the way, I judged the valuation of 3721 in the minds of my peers through the reaction of the market, but all the things that followed were somewhat beyond Zhou Hongyi’s expectations.

Zhou Hongyi smiled and made a cup of tea for Zhang Chaoyang in front of him.

“It’s not urgent, do you want to watch a movie first?” Zhou Hongyi said with a smile.

Zhang Chaoyang brushed the long bangs in front of his forehead and complained, “I don’t have the time to come to watch a movie with you.”

“It’s just after the New Year and I haven’t gone to work, isn’t it a relaxing leisure time?” Zhou Hongyi handed the tea to Zhang Chaoyang, and continued: “After watching a movie, I will ask my daughter-in-law to prepare a few side dishes. , let’s have a good drink together.”

Zhang Chaoyang took the teacup, took a sip impatiently, and said, “We are old acquaintances for many years, so we don’t have to go around.”

“Tell me, what price did Sina offer you?” Zhang Chaoyang put down the teacup, then leaned on the chair and looked at Zhou Hongyi.

Zhou Hongyi was stunned for a moment, and then a smug look appeared on her face.

Speaking of the contact with Sina a few years ago, Zhou Hongyi still feels like a dream.

“Mao Daolin offers $20 million.” Speaking of this, Zhou Hongyi’s voice trembled slightly.

Although 3721 has conducted two rounds of financing, most of the shares are in the hands of Zhou Hongyi. If Sina really buys 3721 for $20 million, then Zhou Hongyi will become a new billionaire.

Taking a step back, even if Sina can’t take out so much cash for a while, they can give up to 20% of the shares to be replaced with 3721.

You must know that Sina’s current valuation is only 100 million US dollars. If so, Zhou Hongyi will become the largest shareholder of Sina.com.

To become the largest shareholder of China’s most popular Internet company, this kind of attraction will undoubtedly make people lose their resistance.

So these days, Zhou Hongyi has been in a fog.

It’s a pity that I didn’t plan to sell the company. If I did, I would definitely agree without hesitation.

But despite this, in countless late nights, Zhou Hongyi thought about it secretly.

$20 million may not sell it yourself, but what if it is $50 million?

Zhou Hongyi suddenly felt that her joke was a little too big.

Hearing Zhou Hongyi’s quotation from Sina, Zhang Chaoyang frowned unexpectedly.

The current status of Huaxia Internet Company is not very good, and various services do not make much money. It is rare for a company like 3721 to hand over a beautiful transcript, not to mention that 3721 also has excellent enterprise-level market performance.

Sohu and Sina are in roughly the same situation. The portal has formed a fixed pattern over the years, so they are extremely eager to seek new breakthroughs.

So the acquisition of 3721 is a very good time to stimulate the stock price.

After being silent for a long time, the tea in front of him became cold, Zhang Chaoyang gritted his teeth, and there was a rare trace of determination on his slightly feminine face.

“I can raise the price to $35 million, but I have to replace it with you with Sohu shares.” Zhang Chaoyang seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Hongyi seriously.

Zhou Hongyi shivered.

“Are you crazy?”

As soon as the words were said, Zhou Hongyi felt a little regretful, how could he talk about business like this.

He hurriedly poured himself a cup of tea and drank it regardless of the scalding heat.

After a long time, Zhou Hongyi calmed down his excitement.

If the $20 million offered by Sina made his heart move, then Zhang Chaoyang’s conditions made it even more difficult for him to refuse.

Looking at Zhang Chaoyang’s sincere gaze, for some reason, Zhou Hongyi felt a touch of emotion in her heart.

Moved, this should be an extremely rare emotion for Zhou Hongyi, but the strange thing is that Zhou Hongyi knew very clearly that he was being moved.

He was moved by Zhang Chaoyang’s sincerity, and he was moved by his own value.

But unfortunately, this feeling did not evolve into an impulse.

Zhou Hongyi looked at Zhang Chaoyang and said slowly, “Let me think about this again.”

Zhang Chaoyang looked at Zhou Hongyi for a long time, then nodded slowly.

“Trust me, no one will charge me more.”

Zhou Hongyi also nodded in agreement.

Sending Zhang Chaoyang to the door, looking at the other person’s back, Zhou Hongyi murmured, “If you raise the price a little more, or if you have the determination to vigorously develop the search, maybe I will really agree. ”

But this is not possible.

“Sohu has not yet set foot in search, the business integration between 3721 and Sohu is unlikely to be smooth. If I want to sell it, I will definitely find a safer and more favored place for 3721.” Zhou Hongyi thought silently.

But suddenly, Zhou Hongyi suddenly woke up.

“Mom, I don’t really want to sell the company, how can I suddenly have such an idea?”

Zhou Hongyi slowly shook his head, then hummed a little song and returned to the coffee table.

The offers from Sina and Sohu seem to have restored Zhou Hongyi’s confidence.

3721 seems to have a lot of weight in the eyes of its peers~www.mtlnovel.com~ Since Sohu can make an offer of 35 million US dollars, if the 3721 company goes public, wouldn’t it also be at the level of over 100 million US dollars?

Thinking of this, the denial and tiredness of the past few days seemed to be far away from him.

Before a Huangmei opera was finished, Wang Gongquan came to the door.

“How was your talk with Zhang Chaoyang?” Wang Gongquan asked himself, pouring a cup of tea.

Zhou Hongyi hesitated for a moment and then said, “He asked for $35 million.”

Wang Gongquan’s hands trembled as he poured the tea, and the hot tea splashed on the coffee table.

“How did you answer him?” Wang Gongquan said excitedly.

Zhou Hongyi said slowly, “I don’t agree.”

Wang Gongquan was stunned, and then heaved a long sigh.

“It is estimated that no one will charge a higher price than him.”

“Maybe.” Zhou Hongyi was silent for a long time, then whispered: “But who cares, I’m not going to sell the company.”

For some reason, Zhou Hongyi’s tone no longer seemed so firm.

Wang Gongquan looked at Zhou Hongyi, his lips moved, but he hesitated.

Both Zhou Hongyi and Wang Gongquan believed that no one would offer a higher price than Zhang Chaoyang to buy 3721, but in Hangzhou Alibaba, thousands of miles away, Ma Yun still called Zhou Hongyi with a resolute expression.

Looking at his caller ID, Zhou Hongyi frowned.

“Why did Ma Dapao call me at this time?” Zhou Hongyi murmured.

Soon, Zhou Hongyi knew Ma Yun’s intentions.

After getting on the phone, Ma Yun said straight to the point: “Mr. Zhou, I heard that you have the idea of ​​selling 3721. Can I have the opportunity to cooperate with you?”

Zhou Hongyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

I feel that the future of 3721 is confused, but I didn’t expect it to be a hot commodity.
