Chapter four hundred and seventy fifth meeting(1/2)
Liu Chang was quite worried. In her opinion, Qingshan Forum was not worth ten million US dollars at all.
Even though Wang Sifeng took a stake in the Qingshan Forum, Liu Chang did not hide her views. She knew Chen Qiaoshan's investment and spent a total of more than 4 million yuan, of which 2 million yuan was a advance loan.
For running a forum, Chen Qiaoshan is definitely a big deal. Before Maopu was acquired by Chen Yizhou, he only had one server. Tianya Community was slightly better, but it was not much better.
Chen Qiaoshan has never been stingy in investment, and the effect is obvious. After the publicity of the webmaster conference, the number of users of Qingshan Forum has experienced an explosive growth, and has exceeded the 4 million mark in total. The results are very good, but the corresponding one is zero income.
This is also the most easily criticized issue. Sina seized this point and directly cut Chen Qiaoshan's quotation in half.
Liu Chang asked: "Are you sure you want to suspend negotiations?"
She privately estimated the price for Qingshan Forum, which was around 10 million yuan.
Sina offered a price of 5 million US dollars, which in her opinion was very sincere, at least giving a super high premium. Based on this price, Chen Qiaoshan obtained more than ten times the profit, but he still insisted on a quotation of 10 million US dollars, which inevitably made people worry.
Chen Qiaoshan said casually: "Just do what I said."
He knew very well that Sina had a strong intention to acquire.
Because the SP business is despised by the European and American markets, although the net profits of the three major portals increased significantly in the first two quarters, none of the stock prices escaped the fate of being cut in half. This is the most direct market pressure.
For an Internet company, profits cannot tell the problem.
Chen Qiaoshan is very clear that what determines the value of an Internet company is its ability to build future industry status, rather than its current ability to make money.
Such things are very common. Some companies have both revenue and profits, but their stock prices can rise, such as Apple, and some are the opposite.
The worst example is Momo. With revenue growth of more than doubled and net profit growth of nearly 90%, on the day the quarterly financial report was released, the stock price plummeted by 20%. The worst thing is that such things happened three times in a row within a year.
For the portal, the stock price has put them under enough pressure, and transformation is imperative.
NetEase has made a significant impact on the game market. Sohu has entered the search field with a high profile. At the same time, it has invested heavily in the layout of MMS. Sina is not willing to be outdone. On the one hand, it acquires Langma UC and on the other hand, it has set its sights on the forum.
Chen Qiaoshan is clear about these situations. Sina already has two major forums, Jin Yong Inn and Sina BBS, but the influence is average and the users are limited.
If Sina bets on the future of the forum, mergers and acquisitions will become the easiest way.
After being clearly rejected by Tianya, Qingshan Forum became the most suitable goal. As for the price, there will definitely be room for maneuver after negotiation.
Chen Qiaoshan believes in his judgment that Sina will not give up easily. Although he cannot participate in the negotiations personally, he has enough chips in his hand. However, before it is time to show off his trump card, he will first take a tough attitude and get the initiative in the negotiations.
Liu Chang was helpless. She hoped that the deal could be completed smoothly, but she was not very confident. Chen Qiaoshan did not let go, so she had to act according to her words.
When Liu Chang sent the person to Lanqi Camp, he didn't stay for too long. The company had a lot of work, but the boss was idle, but she couldn't.
When we arrived downstairs, the three sisters of the Chen family were a little surprised. This place is not like a school.
Chen Xi asked, "Second brother, is this from Peking University?"
"This is Lanqiying, which is considered a teacher residential area of Tsinghua University and Peking University. Go west from the community gate, less than 800 meters away, the east gate of Peking University."
Chen Wan asked, "What are we doing here?"
Chen Qiaoshan did not mention buying a house in Yanjing to his family. He did not intend to hide it from it and asked Chen Xi and Chen Wan to have some contact with him. He would also explain something to Chen’s parents and mothers.
"Go home."
Seeing that the three sisters were all surprised, Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "I bought a suite here, and this is also our family."
Chen Xi and Chen Wan were both stunned. They knew that their second brother was capable and were still discussing with their parents about buying a house in Dengzhou. They had no say, but they were very curious. Unexpectedly, he had already bought a condom in Yanjing.
Chen Qiaoshan took the three of them upstairs. Xiaowu was curious about everything, especially the double-person hanging chair on the balcony. He refused to come down after sitting on it. Chen Xi and Chen Wan were not much better. In a while, the three sisters started to laugh.
"Second brother, second brother, come quickly."
As soon as Chen Qiaoshan put the luggage in the refrigerator, Xiao Wu shouted from the balcony.
"What's wrong?"
Xiaowu said: "Let's carry the swing to the living room, where there is air conditioning and you can watch TV."
Chen Qiaoshan had a dark forehead, "Stay honestly, can't you accommodate the sofa in the living room to you or what?"
Chen Xi and Chen Wan couldn't help laughing when she heard this. Xiao Wu pursed her lips and stopped saying a word. This is Chen Laoer's territory. Let's be patient for the time being. After a period of time, we will get familiar with the surrounding situation.
The hanging chair was occupied by Chen Xi and Xiao Wu, and Chen Wan had to stand by the balcony. She pointed out the distance outside the window and asked, "Second brother, what is that place? Why are there mountains in the city?"
"That's Xishan. If you have time, I'll take you here to play."
To the west of Lanqi Camp is Peking University, with a wide view. Then there are the Summer Palace and Yuquan Mountain. If the weather is good, the West Mountain will be clearly visible, which is a scene.
"Okay, okay." Xiaowu agreed. She had already inquired with Yan Xiaoqin that there were many fun places in Yanjing, and she was not going to miss any of the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace.
Chen Qiaoshan also had no choice but to Xiaowu. He reminded: "Aren't you sleepy when you get off the bus? Why don't you sleep first? I'll handle something first. I'll take you out for lunch at noon."
"I'm not sleepy." Xiao Wu didn't want to move while sitting in the hanging chair. It was so fresh that he didn't have time to sleep.
Chen Wan asked, "Brother, how do you divide the rooms tonight?"
The house has a three-bedroom and two living rooms, but there are only two bedrooms, and one has been converted into a study.
Chen Qiaoshan said: "You can just sleep in the bed. The sheets and blankets have been replaced. I will sleep in the sofa."
Chen Xi said, "No, second brother, you can just squeeze in with us."
"Forget it, if Xiao Wu is kicked out of bed by you and beat him back, I won't care."
"Second brother!" This time it was Chen Xi and Chen Wan's turn to stop, and Xiao Wu was also worried. Before the Chen family built a new house, the three sisters could only squeeze into one room, and there were many troubles during this period.
...
As soon as he came back, Chen Qiaoshan was not in the mood to cook, so he took his three sisters out at noon.
There were two new bicycles parked downstairs of the unit. This was just bought by Chen Qiaoshan after he came back from Hong Kong. Lanqiying is not far from Peking University and Rongke Information. It takes a few minutes to ride the bike, which is very convenient.
"I'll ride one, who's in my car?"
Chen Xi was very foresighted. In hot weather, riding a bicycle was a pain. Xiaowu and Chen Wan argued about who to ride another car. In the end, Chen Qiaoshan said, "Xiaowu, don't show off."
Xiao Wu sat in Chen Wan's back seat unwillingly. After a moment of thought, she asked again: "Second brother, what should we eat for lunch?"
"Don't you talk about going to Peking University all day long, and go to Peking University canteen at noon."
"Okay, I want to eat pine forest buns and chicken leg rice."
Xiaowu often contacted Yan Xiaoqin, but Men Qing, Chen Xi and Chen Wan had no objection. When it comes to their understanding of Peking University, they may not be as good as Xiaowu.
...
Under the leadership of Chen Qiaoshan, the three sisters of the Chen family finally entered the legendary Peking University campus.
Because it was summer vacation, the school only had students who returned to school to participate in military training. Due to the impact of SARS, there were no military training during the summer vacation last year. This year, two students in the grade participated in military training at the same time. The number was half less than during the class, but it did not affect the interest of the Chen brothers and sisters at all.
After a meal, Xiao Wuda was disappointed, "Second brother, this chicken leg rice is not delicious, it is not as delicious as the chicken leg stewed the day before yesterday."
"To be honest, when you live on campus, you will know that this is above the level."
Chen Xi and Chen Wan agreed with Chen Qiaoshan's words. No matter how poor the food in Peking University is, they are several levels higher than that of Yi Gao.
Chen Wan suggested: "Second brother, let's go to Guanghua to have a look?"
"Okay."
At noon, I ate at Xuesan Canteen. Guanghua Building is between the canteen and the small east gate. It only takes a lot of time to bypass the electronic education building.
A corner of Guanghua Tower could be seen from afar. Chen Qiaoshan mentioned the location. Chen Wan and Xiaowu left impatiently, while Chen Qiaoshan and Chen Xi followed slowly.
Passing by the triangle, Chen Qiaoshan was introducing the glorious history here to Chen Xi. Suddenly, someone suddenly stopped in front of the car, which scared Qiaoshan.
Fortunately, the car was not fast, so he pulled the handbrake in time and did not hit it. Chen Xi was not prepared. Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and held Chen Qiaoshan's waist to stabilize her body.
"Chen Qiaoshan, I didn't realize that you are capable enough. How many girlfriends have you changed in just a few days?"
The person who stopped the car was Li Xiao Lin. They met two days ago, but they didn't expect that the enemy was narrow and they met again today.
Chen Qiaoshan could only admit that he was unlucky. This place is not far from Guanghua Tower and it is a meal time, so it is not surprising to meet it.
Chen Xi looked surprised, her eyes swept around Li Xiaolin's face, but Li Xiaolin was also looking at her.
Chen Xi knew that Li Xiao Lin must have misunderstood, but after hearing the obviously sarcastic words, she began to gossip in her heart.
Chen Qiaoshan didn't want to pay attention to Li Xiao Lin. In front of Chen Xi, he didn't want to break the complex relationship between the few people for the time being.
Li Xiao Lin is asking for trouble for him repeatedly, nothing more than not wanting Chen Qiaoshan to disturb Zhang Yiyi's life.
Chen Qiaoshan knew her sister's personality very well. With Chen Xi's stubborn personality, she would definitely not end if she didn't ask about Zhang Yiyi's situation.
"Li Xiao Lin, be careful when speaking, don't make trouble!" Chen Qiaoshan didn't want to make a fuss here, so he got off the handlebars and was about to get around from the side.
Li Xiao Lin was not willing to miss this opportunity to ridicule Chen Qiaoshan. She reached out and stopped her. She was about to say something, but her expression suddenly changed.
Chen Qiaoshan looked along her gaze and saw a middle-aged woman coming over. He felt helpless. He knew the person he came. It was a coincidence that Zhang Ziyu was there too.
Chen Qiaoshan recognized Zhang Ziyu, but Zhang Ziyu didn't know him. She saw her daughter blocking a young man's car and was carrying a young girl on the car. Naturally, she thought about such an obvious thing.
Li Xiaolin was a little panicked. Today, the school reported that her mother drove her over and had a meal in the cafeteria. She was just called to the school office for a while, but unexpectedly she met Chen Qiaoshan.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"When you have been a little bored for a while, just look in the triangle." Zhang Ziyu's attention was spinning on Chen Qiaoshan. If a woman is old or not, she was already married when she was as old as her second daughter.
Zhang Ziyu felt that Chen Qiaoshan looked familiar, so she asked, "Xiaolin, why don't you introduce it to your mother?"
Before Li Xiao Lin could speak, Chen Qiaoshan spoke first and said, "Teacher Zhang, you are so kind of noble people who are forgetful. I am Li Xiao Lin's classmate, we have seen it."
