Chapter 354 $900 Million Ambition(1/2)
The day before Qingming Festival, it was a sunny day in Shencheng.
The tea house is located in the downtown area of Jing'an. It is quiet and pleasant inside, and it means to find tranquility in the bustle.
After they sat down respectively, Liu Luke politely poured a cup of tea for Fang Nian and made a "please" gesture: "Mr. Fang, please have tea."
Fang Nian smiled: "Mr. Liu, you're welcome."
He picked up the tea cup calmly and took a sip slowly, his face calm.
Every move is filled with ease and calmness.
Liu Lu suddenly realized that it was not good for him to be young.
It is easy to make people preconceptions.
But in fact, he is very sophisticated, young, handsome and unrestrained, making people feel sour from the bottom of their hearts.
Even so, Liu Lu still chatted politely and politely: "Mr. Fang is as young and promising as the rumors say, and he is handsome and handsome."
"No way, Mr. Liu is complimenting me." Fang Nian laughed.
"..."
Liu Lu added: "Shencheng is an international metropolis after all. The quietness in the busy city is quite refreshing."
"..."
After chatting for a long time, Liu Lu looked out the window and changed the subject with a smile: "I heard from the weather forecast that it will be a sunny day in Shanghai tomorrow, and the Qingming Rain cannot be experienced in Shanghai."
Fang Nian smiled and agreed: "Yes, the charm of the Jiangnan water town can only be seen occasionally in Shanghai."
"..."
Talking about the situation, from flattery to chatting about the weather.
It seems that there is no smoke and fire in the world.
Fang Nian, a great writer whose book can last a lifetime, is particularly good at such scenes.
The same is true for Guan Qiuhe, whose talent is all about business negotiation.
The atmosphere inside Yabao is always peaceful and peaceful.
But after all, he was asking for something from someone, and after being relaxed and elegant, Liu Lu calmly brought the topic to the point.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Fang and I have been close friends for a long time, and NetDragon and Tan Wanwan have also been cooperating for a long time..."
After saying a few words in a nostalgic tone, Liu Lu said with a smile: "Especially recently, once your company's game platform was launched, it has the ability to lead the way and make others envious."
"It hasn't been tested by the market yet, but it has managed to gain some fame, thanks to the support of its peers." Guan Qiuhe took over the conversation with a smile.
Liu Lu smiled: "Mr. Guan is really a hero among women. He just found the best opportunity from the crisis."
"Funny." Guan Qiuhe pursed her lips and said.
"..."
The things to talk about have absolutely nothing to do with the gaming business.
It has nothing to do with NetDragon's main business.
But under the current situation, especially those in the industry, everyone will praise you for your fun-loving leadership.
Even when it comes to soliciting investment, Chinese people are still used to being reserved and restrained.
During this process, Fang Nian rarely spoke and drank tea quietly without making a sound.
From the shallower to the deeper, Liu Lu finally turned to the topic.
"I wonder if Mr. Fang has ever heard of our NetDragon wireless division, which has a famous software, 91 Mobile Assistant."
After going around in circles, Liu Lu's direct attack made Fang Nian feel a little surprised.
On the surface, he said calmly: "I'm very familiar with it, I use it often."
"..."
Although it can be seen from the place where Liu Lu made an appointment, he has no intention of having direct in-depth discussions today.
In other words, let’s not talk about the business plan.
But Liu Lu still made a lot of preparations.
Describes the advantages of 91 mobile assistant and future market development in simple and easy-to-understand terms;
Let’s talk about the development prospects of NetDragon Wireless Division.
To be honest, Fang Nian personally finds it a bit difficult for the game operations president.
However, it is understandable that NetDragon is a listed company after all, and the chairman still needs to be more presentable.
Besides, if the investment intention of a wireless business unit is discussed, the chairman of the board of directors should immediately take action, which is a bit unreasonable.
It has not yet reached the stage of signing the memorandum of cooperation.
Regarding the development of 91 Assistant, Fang Nian briefly exchanged a few words with Liu Lu.
Most of the time I just listened to what Liu Lu was saying.
At about the same time, Fang Nian looked at Liu Lu and said proactively: "Regarding investment matters, Mr. Guan will be solely responsible for the time being."
"In this regard, Mr. Liu can directly talk to Mr. Guan."
Hearing this, Liu Lu frowned, unable to react to Fang Nian's sudden turn for a while.
"What does Mr. Fang mean?"
Fang Nian smiled: "I'm more interested in NetDragon Wireless Division."
After a pause, Fang Nian added: "I haven't been investing for a long time, I'm lazy, I don't like to read business plans, and I don't like to listen to them either;
If you feel you are interested in a project, talk about it openly and honestly. If you can agree on it, it will be a happy cooperation. If you can't agree on it, it won't have any impact, Mr. Liu, right?"
Liu Lu was overjoyed, but his face remained calm: "Mr. Fang is indeed a cheerful person. No wonder he is highly praised by everyone."
"Maybe it's because of his youthful and energetic spirit that made Mr. Liu laugh." Fang Nian smiled modestly.
The preliminary negotiations were handed over to Guan Qiuhe.
Guan Qiuhe is not surprised. She is actually very happy to be busy with things like this that she is good at.
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Guan Qiuhe can feel a stronger sense of accomplishment than running a business.
"Mr. Liu, now that we're talking about this, let's talk more directly."
Guan Qiuhe changed his posture, crossing his legs elegantly, with a calm expression.
“Before meeting Mr. Liu this time, our Frontier Angels did due diligence on NetDragon and NetDragon Wireless Division;
Strictly speaking, NetDragon Wireless Division has development potential and commercial value, which is also the prerequisite for us to sit down and talk together;
I don’t know what your company’s business development plan is for the wireless division.”
Liu Lu answered calmly: "The Wireless Division is facing some internal and external pressures, but this has not affected the popularity of 91 Assistant..."
"..."
"Indeed, but the wireless division is currently leaderless, which has a greater negative impact on our investment."
"..."
"I'm really sorry. What our Director Liu meant before coming here is that the minimum price is 60 million, so we can't take a step back."
"Mr. Liu, business negotiations should always be conducted in a situation that benefits both parties."
"..."
Debating is definitely necessary.
The market was not willing to accept the 60 million valuation offer.
That's why Liu Lu came to Shencheng to meet Fang Nian.
No matter how many words are used to cover it up, there is a sense that Frontier Angels are being taken advantage of.
So even though Fang Nian didn't give him a psychological price, Guan Qiuhe still continued the conversation in words.
Fang Nian, who was silent on the sidelines, looked on and felt that this round of negotiations was about to collapse.
In the end, he was pulled back by Guan Qiuhe.
After a few words, Liu Lu contacted the chairman of NetDragon over the phone and finally determined a valuation acceptable to both parties.
22 million yuan in exchange for 42% of the shares.
This transaction has grown from 100,000 yuan to nearly 53 million yuan, and NetDragon is certainly quite satisfied.
Just when Liu Lu was thinking about how successful his trip to Shanghai was, Fang Nian suddenly interjected.
"Mr. Liu, I have a few suggestions regarding the cooperation memorandum. Of course, they are only for General Liu's staff."
Liu Lu raised his eyebrows with an interested look on his face: "Mr. Fang, please speak."
Fang Nian said with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Liu and your company's management have considered further business operations, for example, splitting the wireless business unit from NetDragon and operating it independently."
