Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 625: Regrets

"When I graduated and traveled, I came to Norway. Because I had no money, I stayed in a youth hostel."

Schaefer said to Chen Yiyang, "When I saw the young beautiful Northern European girls changing clothes right in front of me at the hostel,

I knew I had to come back often. This place is really amazing."

After enjoying some sunshine on the beach, Chen Yiyang and Schaefer

Schaefer took Chen Yiyang to a bar.

This was a bar that only two types of people could enter.

Either young and beautiful girls or wealthy people willing to spend money.

Everyone was playing quite freely here.

Chen Yiyang also experienced the enthusiasm of the Northern European girls.

There are indeed benefits to rare sunshine.

After Chen Yiyang and Schaefer played in Norway for a few days, the museum's director finally helped Chen Yiyang to meet the people from Opera Browser.

After meeting, the other party heard that Chen Yiyang donated a Sami Runic Drum to the museum in Norway, and their attitude towards him was quite good.

After a brief conversation, both parties finally confirmed.

As long as Chen Yiyang's offer was the same as 369's, they would choose to sell the company to him.

The offer from 369 was 8.1 billion.

Chen Yiyang only needed to offer 8 billion.

Meanwhile, back in the domestic scene,

Zhou Hongyi was chatting with his friends in the business circle.

"Why did you go and mess with Chen Yiyang?"

Zhou Hongyi's friend asked him with great confusion.

"What's wrong with that," Zhou Hongyi waved his hand dismissively.

"I really intended to give him some of the 369AI's technology for free.

He didn't want it himself. So, I posted a video, and he was anxious to explain, as if without him I couldn't boost my company's stock any further."

"I've heard that this Chen Yiyang has great influence abroad.

Even though he's a countryman, he has many connections abroad, in Europe, Russia, South America.

Previously, Mr. Wei from Changcheng competed with him a few times, and he got hit hard by him in Russia.

Now, whenever Mr. Wei hears the name Chen Yiyang, he takes a detour."

"He's just a young guy. I've seen many youngsters who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth,"

Zhou Hongyi felt indifferent.

"No matter how impressive the stories people tell about him are, so what?

His wife has already gone to North America to set up a family business for him in advance.

He plans to make money by stock speculation domestically for a few more years.

When the time comes to emigrate,

as long as he has money in his hands, he'll be prominent in North America; why should he fear anyone else?"

"However, my 369 stock should still go up soon,"

Zhou Hongyi whispered, "Do you know Opera Browser? I'm planning for 369 Group to buy this browser for 8 billion."

"Why buy this browser?" His friend didn't quite understand.

"Opera Browser is lightweight and fast.

Although it doesn't have many features, it has a lot of users both domestically and internationally.

Right now, my 369 search can't compete face to face with Qian Du search.

But if I acquire Opera Browser, I can force Opera Browser to lock onto 369 search.

Think about it, this could bring massive traffic to 369 search."

"Isn't this considered unfair competition? Wouldn't it violate antitrust laws?" the friend questioned.

"Of course, it can't be done openly, but just set it up so that 369 search opens instantly, while other searches get delayed by several seconds."

"You really have a way."

Seeing Zhou Hongyi smirk, his friend gave him a thumbs up.

But just as Zhou Hongyi was feeling proud,

suddenly a call came in.

Zhou Hongyi answered the call.

"Boss, something seems to have changed with our plan to acquire Opera Browser.

Opera said they are no longer selling the company to us."

"What's going on?!" Zhou Hongyi jumped up.

"Didn't we already agree on the price? It was just a matter of signing the contract."

"Yes, but now they say they are planning to sell to someone else."

"Is it because the other side offered a higher price?" Zhou Hongyi asked. "Impossible, we've already exceeded the market price by 50%."

"I found out that the other party's offer is the same as ours, no, even one billion less.

But Opera's people said that for some special reason, with the same price, they will sell the company to the other party.

Even if we increase our offer, as long as the other party matches our price, they will still sell to them."

"What the hell?!" Zhou Hongyi was dumbfounded.

"Did you find out who the other party is?"

"Boss, we're looking into it."

Because this matter came up so suddenly, the people 369 sent to Norway are also confused right now.

Zhou Hongyi was counting on boosting the stock price after acquiring Opera Browser.

Now that this deal might fall through,

he became anxious immediately.

He left his meal and hurried back to the company to supervise his subordinates.

Soon, news from Norway came.

The person who intercepted 369 and bought Opera Browser was found.

"Chen Yiyang!"

Zhou Hongyi was stunned.

How could it be that in such a small country like Norway, Chen Yiyang could find connections to intercept a deal 369 had already secured.

Now he really regretted provoking Chen Yiyang out of curiosity before.

This move directly wiped out 369's valuation.

Because the news of 369's intended acquisition of Opera had already spread privately,

369's stock price had risen quite a bit recently.

But once Opera's announcement was made public,

people realized that 369's acquisition of Opera had failed.

The stock price plummeted.

Zhou Hongyi hadn't even had time to cash out before the stock price hit a new low.

Meanwhile, Chen Yiyang didn't care about 369's situation.

He didn't buy Opera out of spite, but because he genuinely needed it.

After finishing the acquisition in Norway, Chen Yiyang returned to Morocco.

He met with Zhou Tian and Yu Han again, instructing the two to start working officially.

The two were planning to set up a company named Universal, using Opera Browser's technology to start a venture in Africa.

And Chen Yiyang's investment in Morocco had also been finalized.

He planned to leave the follow-up promotion to Zhang Yuling.

Zhang Yuling planned to start an e-commerce business in Morocco and would be staying there long-term for some time.

So it was just right for Zhang Yuling to help him supervise the work in Morocco.

"By the way,"

after finishing their warm reunion in Morocco, Zhang Yuling said to Chen Yiyang,

"I've recently heard that Kaidi Map is looking for a buyer, are you interested?"

"Kaidi Map?" Chen Yiyang thought for a moment upon hearing the name.

It took him a while to remember that Kaidi Map was a domestic navigation software, once the top navigation in China.

Back then, only cars priced over 150,000 had Kaidi Map installed.
