    ??

    At Penguin Company, Brother Ma looked at the avalanche of stock prices on the computer screen, took a deep breath, and said dejectedly to Zhang Danqing:

    "Contact Yi Xiaohai."

    Zhang Danqing asked:

    "Decided?"

    "The active users of Penguin Software dropped by 90% in two days, and a group of employees of Dynasty shareholders resigned. It is impossible for us to catch up in terms of products. Now that the stock price has halved, it is meaningless to persist."

    Brother Xiao Ma was reluctant to part with the company he founded, but he had to give it up.

    He once thought about shutting down redundant servers, saving money, and continuing to persevere until one day he makes a comeback.

    It¡¯s just that the company does not belong to one person. He cannot make selfish choices because of his own unwillingness. He must be responsible for other founders, shareholders and employees.

    Selling the company means that Penguin will become history and declare their entrepreneurial failure, but everyone can get enough financial compensation. At least in the six years since starting the business, the wasted youth has been exchanged for material rewards, so it is not nothing.

    Zhang Danqing is very pleased that Xiao Ma can make the decision to sell the company, because Xiao Ma is no longer self-centered and can consider everyone.

    "I'll call the others in and tell them"

    Ma Ge and Zhang Danqing can make decisions about the company, but Zhang Danqing hopes to tell the founders in advance because this may be the last meeting.

    Brother Ma stood up and tidied his clothes:

    "Be more formal and go to the conference room."

    Even if it¡¯s a farewell, he hopes to say goodbye to everyone in the best possible way.

    Penguin Company is helpless, and the top management is very aware that Xiao Ma and Zhang Danqing have decided to sell the company. They understand and support it.

    It¡¯s just that they hope to get a good price, so the job of contacting Yi Xiaohai for negotiation was left to Zhang Danqing.

    ¡­¡­

    Yi Xiaohai was a little surprised when he received a call from Zhang Danqing. He did not expect that Zhang Danqing and Xiao Ma would make the decision to sell Penguin in such a short period of time.

    "If the company continues to persist, it is nothing more than delaying time. It is better to sell it now while it is valuable and give an explanation to employees, shareholders and founders."

    Zhang Danqing did not use the usual negotiation methods in business, but chose to be sincere.

    He had been in contact with Yi Xiaohai, and his own methods didn't work at all in front of Yi Xiaohai. He might as well be more honest to better promote cooperation.

    Yi Xiaohai is in favor of acquiring Penguin.

    Because if you continue to spend more money, Jiuchao can win, but it will take some time. If you can get the penguin as soon as possible, Jiuchao can also have time to stabilize the market.

    "How much do you plan to bid?"

    "7 billion"

    Since he chose sincerity, Zhang Danqing didn¡¯t need to speak loudly, so he gave a more sincere price.

    Penguin currently only has a market value of less than 10 billion, and its stock price continues to fall. There is a lot of room for decline. 7 billion should not be the bottom line.

    "However, Penguin has many users, as well as real estate, technical talents, advertising resources, etc., so the price of 5 billion is still available.

    The acquisition of Internet companies usually has a premium of about 20%, and the normal market price can be sold for about 6 billion.

    Zhang Danqing¡¯s price offer gave Yi Xiaohai room to bargain. He also considered that the price should not be too low, otherwise Yi Xiaohai would lower the price too hard and they would not be able to solve the problem of employee placement and compensation.

    Zhang Danqing offered such a low price, which Yi Xiaohai didn't expect, but he accepted the other party's sincerity.

    "Just buy it for 7 billion."

    "7 billion?"

    Zhang Danqing was a little unsure, because it was incredible that Yi Xiaohai didn't bargain.

    Yi Xiaohai knew what he was thinking, and asked Zhang Danqing:

    "Do you know when I started using Penguin software?"

    "have no idea."

    ¡°Penguin had just come out, and I applied for an account in 1999. I should be considered one of the earliest users of Penguin.¡±

    ¡°Can you tell me what your penguin¡¯s whistle is?¡±

    "Wei Xiaobao, the idol of men."

    Zhang Danqing on the other end of the phone opened his mouth wide, as if in disbelief:

    "Are you the male idol Wei Xiaobao?"

    "You haven't heard of it, have you?"

    "You may not believe it, but you happen to be Penguin's 10,000th user"

    Zhang Danqing smiled bitterly and sighed at the wonder of fate.

    The growth rate of Penguin¡¯s online users is very slow, 10,000.The new customer was a milestone breakthrough for them, so Zhang Danqing still remembers it fresh.

    Several of the founders also discussed the male idol Wei Xiaobao, saying that anyone with this name must be a loser.

    Brother Xiao Ma likes to dress up as a girl in a small size to find people to chat with. He even went out of his way to hook up with Yi Xiaohai, but was blocked by Yi Xiaohai directly.

    Zhang Danqing didn¡¯t expect that the account with a name that sounded like a loser turned out to be Yi Xiaohai¡¯s.

    "I didn't expect that we met through the Internet so early"

    Yi Xiaohai also smiled. He didn't expect that he was Penguin's 10,000th user. The fate was really strange.

    "I have known about Penguin Software for a long time and am very optimistic about Penguin Software, so I deliberately invested in Penguin Company. I want to make Penguin into a world-class software, but it is a pity"

    Yi Xiaohai really doesn¡¯t plan to enter the Internet field. He is optimistic about Penguin because the user stickiness of instant messaging software cannot be replaced by other Internet products.

    He hopes to form a close relationship with Penguin through investment.

    However, Xiaoma Ge and Zhang Danqing were worried that the Han and Tang Dynasties had too much say, so they teamed up with Goldman Sachs to suppress the Han and Tang Dynasties, and even refused to develop a mobile app version.

    Yi Xiaohai needs the monopoly of Kirin mobile phones and the bonus of instant messaging software, so he Penguin has a very important strategic position.

    ????????????????????????? When Xiao Ma Ge didn¡¯t cooperate, he had no choice but to develop it himself and kill the penguin.

    Zhang Danqing didn¡¯t know what to say. He could only say that he made one mistake at a time. Brother Ma¡¯s actions were so drastic that there was no room for turning around.

    "When Penguin started, you gave us a lot of help. We are very grateful. We did not do a good enough job in that matter, and we hope you can understand."

    ¡°My position was different before and I couldn¡¯t say sorry, but now I can finally say it.

    Yi Xiaohai smiled:

    "Everyone has different positions, different purposes, and different choices. I can understand your hearts. If the company you founded becomes someone else's final decision, I can't accept it."

    "The previous conflict was a matter of position and had nothing to do with personal feelings. I have no objections to Penguin Software or your founder team."

    "I am willing to pay 7 billion to acquire Penguin because I respect Penguin and the founder team. You are worth so much money."

    Zhang Danqing felt a lot in his heart.

    Whether it was Yi Xiaohai¡¯s initial investment in Penguin or their boycott measures against Han and Tang, he had to admit that Han and Tang respected the founding team.

    They will give opinions on many issues, but the founders insist and they will support them. No investment company can do this.
