Negotiations with Penguin have stalled.

Mainly because Ziweixing is too overbearing.

The asking price is 300 million, which is too bullying!

Why is the asking price for Alibaba only 100 million, for Sina and Baidu only 50 million, but for Penguin 300 million? Is there any market fairness at all?

Zhou Buqi pretended to be a good old man, but said that he also had difficulties and was not able to make decisions.

He Yang rushed to the front line to meet their artillery fire, saying that the high-tech equipment from the United States was sold to Britain, France, South Korea and Japan at a reasonable price, but the price for domestic sales was ridiculously high. Even for many cutting-edge equipment, we paid a premium of more than ten or twenty times.

No one sells it.

This is reality.

If you have technology, you have the right to speak. Stop talking about useless things! It’s only 300 million. If you want to buy it or not, just develop it yourself! Open platforms are a new thing in the past few years, with high-end technology. In a few years, say

It might just be a crappy technology, and it won’t be a big problem for you to develop it yourself!

Let’s see who can afford who!

Ziweixing is very tough now.

After the April financial report was compiled, the Finance Department sent it to interested venture capital institutions through relationships.

Soon, Goldman Sachs made a second wave of offers, with a valuation of US$9.2 billion.

At the same time, a second group of investment groups participated, led by Sequoia Capital, followed by venture capital institutions such as DCM, IDG, and Sequoia China, with a total investment of US$950 million, and they wanted to occupy 10% of the shares of Ziweixing

.

This is equivalent to a valuation of US$9.5 billion.

The gap from Ziweixing’s expected US$10 billion is already very small.

At present, Ziweixing's financial team has not had any concrete contact with venture capital institutions and is still in the stage of listening to quotations. Now that it has received such a high quotation, when they actually sit down to negotiate, the price will be easily determined.

Go up.

After Zhou Buqi returned to Sanya, he heard the good news and received a phone call from Wang Haoyang himself.

"Boss, I think our expected target is a bit low."

"It's not surprising. Who would have thought that selling technology could be so profitable."

Wang Haoyang laughed, "How about mentioning US$12 billion?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Okay."

Wang Haoyang said: "Then I will take the lead and create new financing materials."

"Are these two investment groups the only ones? Nothing else?"

"Not yet."

"What's going on in the country?"

Wang Haoyang smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, domestic private equity has just started, and it can't be done at all. Sequoia China's scale is quite large, so it doesn't have to be Sequoia headquarters taking the lead, and Sequoia China following behind to drink some soup.

"

Zhou Buqi said: "I don't mean that, I mean... this financing case is definitely led by American capital. But most of the domestic venture capital institutions lack personal connections, and they have to connect with American capital giants.

There is no chance to drink soup in the back. This is not good."

Wang Haoyang pondered for a moment and refused: "This matter is not urgent. Let's focus on the big ones first and let go of the small ones. If you really want to take care of domestic venture capital institutions, you can add another round of small and medium-sized enterprise financing after this A round and dilute it with the scale of the A round."

About 1%.”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Okay, you have the final say."

After the call ended, Zhou Buqi had time to lie down by the bed, stare at her sleeping daughter for a few minutes, and praise her profusely: "My daughter looks like me, she's so beautiful."

Wen Zhixia smiled and patted him, "My daughter looks like me."

"Like us!"

Zhou Buqi is very proud. As the child grows older, he becomes more and more pleasing to the eye.

The child was taken care of by the confinement nanny. The two of them went downstairs and sat down on the sofa. Wen Zhixia said seriously: "You are very busy with work recently, right?"

"fine."

"Why don't you take a vacation? I'm fine. Our mother and confinement nanny are taking care of me. I'm not tired at all. You don't have to accompany me."

"How can that be done? You are in confinement and I won't be here... Doesn't that make you look down on me?"

Wen Zhixia pursed her lips and said, "Who underestimated you? The finals are coming soon, so you won't take the exam?"

Zhou Buqi didn't care at all, "The test is easy. I asked the secretary to write the test paper, and I just wrote down the answers and copied them. It's very simple."

Wen Zhixia couldn't laugh or cry, "What kind of exam is this?"

Zhou Buqi hummed: "This is already very good. Many officials send secretaries to attend lectures, write homework, and write papers for exams. The final degree is my own. I already have a good conscience."

Wen Zhixia pouted and said, "It's better to drop out of school directly."

These days, there are many people who drop out of school and start their own businesses.

For example, Wang Huiwen, who was in charge of the P-picture artifact project, dropped out of school and started a business with Wang Xing. Including Wang Xiaochuan, his grades were a mess during school and he focused most of his energy on part-time entrepreneurship. The situation is similar to that of Zhou Buqi and Guo Pengfei.

, which is equivalent to half dropping out of school.

This type of genius cannot be measured by ordinary people's standards. For example, why did Wang Xing drop out of school in the United States and return to China to start a business?

Zhou Buqi discussed it with him.

Wang Xing said that when he graduated from Tsinghua University and went to the United States to study, he thought he would work hard in Silicon Valley for the rest of his life. But after going to school, he was greatly disappointed.

He could complete the courses he studied in one semester in one month of self-study.

The professor's lectures were too shallow, too slow, and the knowledge was too little.

I felt that attending classes was a waste of time and that true knowledge must be gained through practice, so I dropped out of school and came back to start my own business.

Zhou Buqi hummed: "There are many dropouts in China, but they all drop out at the master's level. How many drop out at the undergraduate level? Not only can't drop out, but I also need to deepen my connection with the school!"

"How to deepen it?"

"After this round of financing is over, I will donate 50 million to Beike in the name of Ziweixing to cooperate in building a laboratory based on Android systems. Well, I will give another 50 million to Tsinghua University to build a similar laboratory."

This can be regarded as self-produced and sold.

Not surprisingly, the world's first Android phone will be released next year, produced by MSI Electronics Group.

But a mobile phone is not enough, you also need an App.

At least all of their own products must be made into apps, such as Encyclopedia of Embarrassing Things, Friends Network, Micro-Point Input Method, Micro-Point Notes, etc.

However, there is a lack of relevant talents in the market for App development based on the Android system. It is true that this language is based on Java, but there are certain differences. It is really difficult to get started without studying for a period of time in advance.

The best way is to cultivate it yourself through cooperation with universities.

This is an Internet company in the capital with unique geographical advantages.

However, developing mobile apps is a basic job for the early grades. It is a labor-intensive job and does not have high-tech attributes. Tsinghua graduates may not necessarily accept such a job.

It can be given to graduates of BeiKe.

As for the laboratories that cooperate with Tsinghua University, they are more focused on operating systems and are relatively difficult technologies. Mobile phones developed by Ziweixing will definitely not be able to use the original Android system.

It’s not that the original system is bad, it’s just that it’s uncontrollable.

Ziweixing wants to have a certain say in its own mobile phones through the operating system. For example, if the relationship with Penguin is not good, it can be ruthless and block QQ.

The original system does not have blocking functions. You can only modify your own system for Android, such as Xiaomi UI and Huawei UI.

Through your own UI design and system changes, you can bind your own App to the system so that users cannot delete it even if they want.

…

That night, Zhou Buqi wanted to stay in Teacher Wen's room with great interest.

Since they found out she was pregnant in July last year, the two of them have been as clean as a piece of white paper. Now, after giving birth to the child, the body has basically recovered...

"stop!"

But my mother suddenly appeared and immediately stopped.

Wen Zhixia took off all her clothes, got into bed directly, and covered her face with the quilt, feeling ashamed to see others.

Zhou Buqi hadn't taken off his pants yet, and turned around with a look of astonishment on his face, "Mom, what are you doing?"

My mother said angrily: "Why are you so anxious? The confinement period is not over yet, so don't mess around! Get out of here and find your little secretary!"

Zhou Buqi almost died of anger, "Mom, you care about heaven and earth, and you still care about me... You control too much, right?"

The mother said with a serious face: "Confinement is a woman's second life. Life is very important. Don't be so obsessed with it that it hurts others. Go, go, the baby will have to be fed soon, so don't embarrass yourself here."

.”

"Holy shit!"

Zhou Buqi is going crazy. He feels that his mother and father are really husband and wife, and they are really no different.
