The next morning, Chen Fan arrived at a teahouse in the city on time.
He and the representative from Baidu agreed to meet at 9:30 in the morning.
Chen Fan arrived at the teahouse about ten minutes early, but he didn't expect that there was already a man sitting in the reserved private room.
Chen Fan was a little surprised that the other party arrived earlier than him?
"Mr. Chen?"
The man looked to be in his thirties. When he saw Chen Fan, he stood up with a smile on his face.
It was obvious that he had investigated Chen Fan's information before coming, so he could recognize Chen Fan at a glance.
This person took the initiative to extend his right hand.
"Chen Wenchao. Coming from Baidu headquarters."
Chen Fan extended his hand and shook hands with the other party.
"Please take a seat. I didn't expect you to come so early."
The two parties sat down, and Chen Wenchao explained with a smile: "We arrived at Yunhai last night. I had nothing to do in the morning, so I simply came here early after breakfast."
"Mr. Chen made a good choice in choosing this teahouse."
Chen Fan nodded, and he casually mentioned a place where he had never been to drink tea before.
Chen Wenchao took the initiative to pick up the teapot and poured a cup for Chen Fan.
"To be honest, I knew you were young before I came here, but I didn't expect that when we met, you were even younger than I thought."
"Also, we both have the same last name, Chen. It seems like we have a connection."
Chen Fan ignored the guy's attempts to get close to him. He could tell at a glance that he was a veteran in the workplace, and was obviously much more powerful than the guy he met a few days ago.
So Chen Fan didn't plan to follow the other party's pace.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down and looked up at the other person.
"How much money does Baidu have to prepare?"
Chen Wenchao's expression froze for a moment.
He didn't expect Chen Fan to be so direct without even a transition.
Generally speaking, in this kind of business negotiation, both parties start by trying to get close to each other, chatting about this and that for a long time, and then finally start to talk about the business bit by bit.
Chen Fan, on the other hand, had just sat down and hadn't even had time to warm himself when he got straight to the point.
However, Chen Wenchao's expression quickly returned to normal and he smiled slightly.
"It seems that Mr. Chen is impatient."
Chen Fan said calmly: "Since you are willing to buy and sell, there is no need to make such a mess. Isn't it better to keep it simple?"
Chen Wenchao smiled and nodded: "That's right. I also like it simple and direct."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Chen Wenchao looked at Chen Fan and spoke.
"Ten million to two million."
"Baidu is willing to buy the navigation system from you for 12 million."
"If you're willing, we can sign the contract today."
Chen Fan smiled.
The price is more than double that of last time.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have lost his composure after hearing about such a large amount of money.
But Chen Fan is not an ordinary person, he has his own psychological bottom line.
In its previous life, hao123 had no rivals and was extremely popular. Finally, it was acquired by Baidu for 50 million plus some Baidu original shares.
In this life, Chen Fan will never let the price of Navigation House be lower than this.
“Too low!”
Chen Fan shook his head and said nothing more.
Chen Wenchao smiled and explained: "This price is actually more than double the last time we quoted."
"Mr. Chen, the reason we offer this price right away is to let you know our sincerity."
"We really want to acquire GO Navigation, and we believe that this website can only realize its maximum value in our hands."
"Other companies may have contacted you privately these days, but I don't think anyone has offered a better quote than us."
Chen Fan smiled.
"You're right. Your offer is the highest at the moment."
"But..."
“I’m still not satisfied with the price.”
Chen Wenchao's expression changed, he stared at Chen Fan and spoke.
"Then why don't you tell me your terms. Negotiations are only negotiated when there is a give and take."
Chen Fan gently played with the teacup on the table with one hand and slowly spoke.
"The conditions are very simple. I require that the purchase price should not be less than 50 million."
"This is impossible!"
Chen Wenchao's expression changed drastically and he sat up straight in an instant.
Taking a deep breath and forcibly suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Chen Wenchao stared at Chen Fan and spoke.
"Your price is simply outrageous. It's impossible."
"Mr. Chen, I now doubt your sincerity in selling the navigation company."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry. Navigation will definitely be sold. There is no doubt about that."
"Like you just said, negotiations are a two-way street. There is only one condition: the purchase price must not be less than 50 million."
Chen Wenchao suddenly felt a little depressed.
Facing Chen Fan, he suddenly felt helpless.
He has participated in many negotiations and has encountered both tough and experienced professionals.
But I've never seen Chen Fan like this before.
The bottom price was revealed right away, and there was no room for negotiation.
The most important thing is that this is his only condition.
How can we talk about this?
How can you talk business like this?
In fact, before he came here, the company headquarters gave him the acquisition license for 25 million to 30 million.
Because the company has done an internal valuation, Chen Fan's Navigation Home is valued at around 30 to 40 million.
Chen Wenchao is full of confidence.
Originally I planned to try Chen Fan's color first.
In his opinion, if ordinary people heard the number of more than 10 million, they would have lost their minds long ago.
Even if Chen Fan could hold back, he could continue to use his negotiation skills and add a few million to the amount, so 20 million would be enough.
Chen Wenchao thinks so.
But I never expected it.
This guy is more fierce than I thought.
The first thing he asked for was 50 million.
This directly blocked the negotiation path.
"Well..." Chen Wenchao smiled bitterly: "If we follow your request... our negotiations will not be able to proceed."
Chen Fan was not flustered and nodded.
"It's okay. There's no rush."
"Well, let's stop here for today. Everyone go back and think about it carefully."
"By the way, this should be your first time in Yunhai. There are still many fun places and many special snacks in Yunhai. If you are interested, I can accompany you to have a look."
Chen Wenchao smiled bitterly, "Maybe next time."
Therefore, the negotiation ended hastily after less than ten minutes.
The two got up and left the teahouse, standing on the side of the road, and Chen Wenchao took out his car keys.
He came to Yunhai on business, so naturally the office here provided him with a vehicle.
But what surprised Chen Wenchao was that he actually saw Chen Fan standing on the side of the road, apparently waiting for a bus.
"Mr. Chen, are you...waiting for the driver?"
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head: "I didn't buy a car. I rented one."
Chen Wenchao glanced at Chen Fan with some surprise.
"Where are you going? How about I drive you there? But you have to show me the way. I just came to Yunhai and I'm not familiar with the road conditions."
Chen Fan smiled.
"Don't bother, just mind your own business. The taxi will be here soon."
Chen Wenchao didn't continue to be polite and got in the car and left.
Seeing Chen Fan standing on the side of the road through the rearview mirror, Chen Wenchao suddenly had an intuition for some reason.
He felt that this negotiation might not be that easy.
Just as I was thinking about it, my cell phone rang.
I picked it up and took a look, and found that it was a call from headquarters.
"Hello. It's 놖..."
"Yes, I have met him just now. This guy..."
Before Chen Wenchao finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly interrupted him.
"The company just got some information about Chen Fan. He is not an ordinary college student as we initially thought."
Chen Wenchao was stunned: "What's going on?"
"The specific information will be sent to your email, please read it yourself."
"Remember. Headquarters has already raised his negotiation level. This time, the negotiation must not fail."
Chen Wenchao nodded in confusion.
"Okay. Got it."
Chen Fan stood by the road, watching Chen Wenchao drive away, and suddenly remembered something.
Is it time to buy a car?
