Watching Chen Fan and the female secretary leave.

Several people in the conference room looked at each other, their expressions somewhat disapproving.

"This kid is too greedy..."

"That's it. It's just a website. Do you really think it's worth that much money?"

"The minimum is 50,000 yuan. He really dares to ask for such a high price."

Chen Wenchao sat aside and did not join in the ridicule. At this moment, his mind was full of what Chen Fan had said to him last time.

Baidu is going to be listed.

Is acquiring the second largest market share website really the same as acquiring the number one market share website?

I can afford to wait, but can Baidu afford to wait?

An idea suddenly came to Chen Wenchao's mind.

Will Mr. Li agree to his request?

In the chairman's office, Chen Fan chatted with Boss Li alone for almost half an hour.

Then the door of the conference room opened and Chen Fan walked out.

Chen Wenchao, who had been paying attention to all this, immediately looked at Chen Fan.

Unfortunately, nothing could be seen from his expression.

Chen Wenchao looked towards the chairman's office again, but he didn't see his boss.

Did the negotiation break down?

Seeing Chen Fan walking towards him, Chen Wenchao hesitated for a moment and then quickly followed him.

"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment. I'll take you there."

After taking the elevator downstairs with Chen Fan and walking out of the headquarters office building, Chen Wenchao couldn't help himself.

"How did your talk with our boss go?"

"It's settled."

"Ah?" Chen Wenchao asked curiously, "How much...how much do you want to buy it for?"

"Fifty thousand, didn't I tell you?"

"ah?"

Chen Wenchao was shocked for the second time. He just stood there, staring at Chen Fan in a daze.

"You...are you kidding me?"

Chen Fan said seriously, "Why are you joking?"

"Is it really 50,000?"

Chen Fan shrugged, "My conditions from beginning to end are at least 50,000."

"But..."

Chen Wenchao hesitated for a long time, but in the end he didn't say what he wanted to say.

But how could Mr. Li agree to your conditions?

Five hundred thousand?

It is more than 10,000 yuan higher than the previous purchase price.

How is this possible?

He was too embarrassed to ask directly, so he asked another question in a roundabout way.

"How did you convince our boss?"

Chen Fan stopped and looked at Chen Wenchao with a smile.

"To be honest, your boss Li is much more courageous than you."

"Do you think your boss really cares about this money, whether it's 10,000 or 50,000?"

ah?

Isn't it?

Chen Wenchao suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

Chen Fan gave the answer with a smile.

"As the boss and founder of the company, Baidu's sprint to IPO has already failed once."

"Next year, for your second IPO attempt, whether it is 10,000 or 50,000 yuan, Mr. Li is more concerned about ensuring that Baidu can be listed."

"Acquiring the navigation company from me is just one part of his plan to expand his assets. He must ensure that the navigation company from me does not fall into the hands of other peers."

Seeing that Chen Wenchao was still angry, Chen Fan couldn't help but remind him.

"If I spread the word that Baidu is acquiring my navigation company in order to go public, and you happen to be a competitor of Baidu, what will you do?"

Chen Wenchao was stunned at first, and then his expression suddenly changed.

"I... will spend all my money to buy Navigator and launch a plan to block Baidu's listing."

The more Chen Wenchao thought about it, the more he felt a chill down his spine.

Baidu has already failed in its IPO once. If it is sniped again this time, it will be in big trouble.

That will have a huge negative impact and make investors lose confidence in the platform.

In addition, Baidu will not be able to continue its listing plans for a long time in the future.

In Internet business, time is money.

By then, will peers still support Baidu's second IPO plan?

It turns out that the acquisition of GO Navigation was not a money issue at all.

Chen Wenchao stared at Chen Fan blankly, as if he was seeing this guy for the first time.

So he had already considered all this from the beginning?

So that's why he was so confident and insisted that the purchase price would not be less than 50,000?

How could such a young man consider so much?

Even more aware of the current situation of whiteness than most of the management within the headquarters?

This guy...

Are you really only twenty?

Chen Fan ignored Chen Wenchao's shock and looked at the guy with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, are you interested in working in my company?"

Chen Wenchao: “…”

Are you going to dig up the foundation here?

Brother Guan Jian, we are standing at the gate of Baidu headquarters.

Aren't you being a little too... arrogant?

Chen Fan didn't care at all and analyzed with a smile.

"Next, Baidu will go all out to go public. Once the listing is successful, there will probably be an internal consolidation and cleansing. It is estimated that many people will be laid off."

"Your current position is neither high nor low. If you want to move up in the future, it will probably be difficult in the environment of Baidu where there are so many elites."

"Am I right?"

Chen Wenchao said nothing.

Chen Fan continued with a smile.

"My situation is different. My company is in Yunhai. First of all, there is not that much competitive pressure."

"Second, I also run an Internet company that matches your expertise. Third, I run a new company with huge potential."

"If my company can go public, you will be a veteran."

You know what, just listening to Chen Fan's analysis really made Chen Wenchao feel moved.

After all, what Chen Fan said was too misleading.

But Chen Wenchao is not so easily instigated.

After all, he was now working at Baidu, and compared to a small company with an unknown future prospect, he would not be stupid enough to change jobs without thinking.

So Chen Wenchao just smiled.

"Thank you for your consideration of me. I will consider it carefully."

This is a polite refusal.

But Chen Fan didn't care, he just mentioned it casually on a whim.

On the way to the airport, Chen Fan mentioned another matter.

"Mr. Chen, there is one more thing I want to trouble you with."

"Haha, go ahead. As long as I can help, I will definitely help."

Chen Wenchao was very good at talking. After all, through his understanding of Chen Fan over the past few times, he had already determined that Chen Fan was nothing ordinary.

This guy's future achievements are limitless. If I can get along well with Chen Fan, it might be beneficial to me someday.

Chen Fan, who was sitting in the back row, said jokingly, "Don't worry. You can definitely help with this."

"Look, Baidu is going to be listed soon. Didn't it issue a lot of original shares internally?"

"I don't know if you have any. But I believe that many of your company's management and old employees have received some."

"Please keep an eye out for me. If there are any people willing to sell their original shares, I can buy them."

Chen Wenchao almost stopped on the road by braking.

He turned to look at Chen Fan: "You...you want to buy the original shares of our company?"

"So you think highly of our company's prospect of going public?"

Chen Fan did not answer this question, but said: "I don't think it will be useful. It depends on whether your company is competitive or not."

"I want to buy the original shares mainly to take a gamble. If Baidu's stock price rises after listing, I can also make a profit."

But Chen Wenchao didn't believe it.

"Why do you believe that the original shares will be sold?"

Chen Fan smiled and said casually: "Not everyone is confident about Baidu's listing. The same is true within your company."

"Some are optimistic and some are pessimistic. Rather than waiting for the shares in their hands to become worthless after the listing, some people would rather cash out in advance and make a profit."

"You can help me keep an eye on who is ready to cash out in the near future. I can buy them. You see, this will benefit everyone."

Chen Wenchao subconsciously said: "If there really is, the purchase price is not a small price. You have so much in your hands..."

Just when he said this, Chen Wenchao was suddenly stunned.

Grass!

Chen Fan just got 50,000 yuan from Baidu.

Nima.

Use Baidu’s money to buy Baidu’s original shares.

What’s the difference between this and getting something for nothing?

This guy...isn't he too cunning?
