On the afternoon of the second day, Chen Fan arrived at the Beijing Airport on time.

From a distance, Chen Wenchao was seen holding a sign, and Chen Fan waved his hand.

Chen Fan traveled light this time, without any luggage. Seeing this, Chen Wenchao couldn't help but sigh, this guy is really relaxed and confident. I would have thought he was here for a trip.

I drove Chen Fan to the hotel where he was staying. This hotel has a cooperation with Baidu, so there is no charge for accommodation.

After settling Chen Fan down, Chen Wenchao asked if he wanted to take a rest first.

Chen Fan asked: "When will your boss meet with me?"

Chen Wenchao coughed lightly and said, "According to the schedule, we will be back tomorrow afternoon."

"But the boss has instructed that if you are willing in the afternoon, we can take you to visit the Baidu headquarters."

Chen Fan thought it was nothing to do anyway, so he nodded in agreement.

Yu 놆 and his companion went downstairs again and drove to the Baidu headquarters.

Baidu's headquarters is located in Haidian District. At that time, Baidu had not yet gone public, so the entire company was far from reaching its current scale.

Chen Wenchao acted as a guide and took Chen Fan on a thorough tour of the company.

Chen Fan looked at it very seriously. At this moment, Baidu was still very pragmatic. Most of the company's employees were technicians, and at this time, Baidu had almost gathered most of the top engineers in the country.

Cohesion and energy are what Chen Fan sees in every Baidu employee.

Chen Fan knows that in the next few years, Baidu will enter a golden period of rapid development.

However, Baidu as a company is very unique.

It was born in the chaotic period of the domestic Internet and is almost a pioneer of the domestic Internet.

But apart from the search engine, almost none of the projects developed by the company later made a profit.

Whether it is Baidu Zhidao, Baike, or Tieba, they are all national-level applications.

But it is impossible to convert huge traffic into cash flow.

It's like losing money but gaining publicity.

When talking about Tieba, we have to mention a key figure, Yu Jun.

As a senior product manager of Baidu, this person launched national-level applications such as web search, MP3, Baidu Tieba, etc. during his tenure at Baidu, making Baidu the talk of the town.

After Yu Jun resigned and joined Didi Chuxing, Baidu never developed a national-level application again.

Chen Fan is well aware that Baidu will continue to prosper for a while in the next few years and will form the domestic Internet giant BAT together with Alibaba and Tencent.

However, with the advent of the mobile Internet era, Baidu gradually fell behind due to decision-making and other reasons, and was eventually surpassed by local organizations.

Eventually, the Internet giants became two groups, the Alibaba group and the Penguin group.

After visiting the headquarters, Chen Fan was very rewarding. Accompanied by Chen Wenchao, he had dinner in the company cafeteria and then returned to the hotel.

"goodbye."

"See you tomorrow."

The two smiled at each other, and both understood that although they were getting along friendly now, understanding was the key, and when that happened, they would truly each be their own master.

On the second afternoon, Chen Fan got up and had breakfast at the hotel.

At 15:30 p.m., Chen Wenchao drove over to pick up Chen Fan.

Originally, Chen Fan thought that he could meet Boss Li by going directly to the headquarters.

But when the time came, Chen Fan found that he was wrong.

The other party led him directly into a conference room where at least four senior executives of White were sitting.

Because Chen Wenchao had the most contact with Chen Fan, he was allowed a seat nearby.

Chen Fan was a little puzzled and looked at Chen Wenchao.

"What do you mean? Didn't you say you would meet Mr. Li yesterday?"

Chen Wenchao gave an awkward smile.

"Don't worry, our boss Li is attending a very important meeting and is on his way back."

"These people are all senior executives of our company. They will be responsible for negotiating with you first. Regardless of whether an agreement can be reached or not, our boss will definitely meet with you when he returns."

Chen Fan was speechless, feeling like he had been cheated.

But he didn't show it, and just sat on the chair with a blank expression.

Since we want to talk, let’s talk.

Without any pleasantries, the meeting went straight to the point.

A middle-aged man with a bald head opposite opened a document and began to read.

"Chen Fan, a student at Yunhai University, just graduated this year. He started his own business during college. He currently owns a club and founded Feifan Technology, launching two blockbuster products..."

This guy revealed almost all of Chen Fan's information in one breath.

Chen Fan was speechless. What did this mean?

After finishing reading the poem, the man finally looked up.

"Mr. Chen, we have investigated you and we are very clear about your information. First of all, although the market share of GO Navigation in your hands is not the first, it is not irreplaceable."

"Our company has made an internal estimate of around 10 million. However, our company's people have discussed it with you several times, and we have not reached an agreement. I would like to ask if you have any other requirements?"

Chen Fan glanced at Chen Wenchao who was sitting in the corner and said calmly.

"He should have told you my request. You want to acquire Navigation Company. It's very simple. I require the acquisition price to be no less than 50 million."

"Fifty million, this price is too high. And it far exceeds our valuation of Navigation..."

"I'll interrupt for a moment!"

Chen Fan interrupted the conversation directly.

"First, I would like to remind a few people."

"First, my requirement is no less than 50 million, not exactly 50 million."

"Second, as for the question of whether it is worth the money, I think it is meaningless. Whether it is worth the money depends on the buyer's mentality. In the eyes of people who don't like antiques, an ordinary Tang Dynasty jar is probably not as valuable as a pickled vegetable jar."

"But if it is seen by an antique collector, it will immediately become valuable."

"I think you guys know what this means better than I do."

After these words were spoken, the four people opposite fell silent.

I never expected that this girl would be so smart and eloquent.

This completely disrupted the negotiation strategy they had previously formulated.

The four of them looked at each other, and finally the bald middle-aged man spoke.

"In this way, we can give you another million, seventeen million!"

Chen Fan shook his head and said nothing.

After a while, the guy bit it.

"Forty million. This is our company's bottom line."

"To be honest, 40 million is already far more than our valuation of Navigation..."

Chen Fan shook his head expressionlessly as always.

"If the price doesn't meet my requirements, I'd rather not sell it."

"you……"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, Chen Wenchao was hesitating whether to speak up to ease the mood.

Chen Fan suddenly drove over.

"When will your boss Li come back?"

"To be honest, if he doesn't show up again, I'm going to doubt your company's sincerity."

Just when Chen Wenchao felt embarrassed and didn't know how to start, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

A female employee dressed as a secretary walked in.

"Who are you, Mr. Chen Fanchen? Mr. Li wants to see you."

Chen Fan smiled.

Finally, he is willing to show up.
