MTL - Since 2000-Chapter 77 : Multiple-choice questions that elementary school students will do
Ma Yun was ready to wait for Zhou Hongyi to sign and shake hands with him, and the cameraman's fingers were also placed on the camera shutter to record this moment.
Wang Gongquan's sudden shout was as if you had taken off your pants, prepared a tissue, and played the VCD you bought at a certain stall, but there was a knock on the door outside the house.
This very abrupt rhythm gave Ma Yun a bad premonition.
"It can't be something wrong." Ma Yun thought silently.
Wang Gongquan quickly came to Zhou Hongyi's ear and whispered, "Qi Xiangdong asks you to call him back."
Originally, at such a critical moment, Zhou Hongyi hated some unexpected situations, but for some reason, this time, instead of being annoyed, he felt relieved.
He smiled apologetically at Ma Yun and said, "I'll go make a call first."
Looking at the back of Zhou Hongyi's departure, Ma Yun's expression gradually became solemn.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Hongyi asked after walking outside.
Wang Gongquan shook his head, then took out his phone.
"I don't know what happened. Lao Qi asked me to stop you from signing the contract."
Zhou Hongyi frowned, then took the call from Wang Gongquan.
"What's wrong, Lao Qi?" Zhou Hongyi asked when the call was connected.
"Mr. Zhou, you haven't signed yet." Qi Xiangdong's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhou Hongyi said solemnly, "Not yet."
"That's great." Qi Xiangdong on the other end of the phone excitedly said.
"Mr. Zhou, stop the signing meeting with Alibaba immediately, our company doesn't need to be sold to him."
"What did you say?" Zhou Hongyi said displeasedly, "Is my old Zhou the one who goes back on his word? Besides, who would I sell it to if I didn't sell it to him?"
Qi Xiangdong on the other end of the phone paused, and suddenly realized that his words were not clear.
He quickly said: "Mr. Jerry Yang from Yahoo personally sent you an email, and he expressed his desire to acquire 3721."
"Yahoo? An email from Yang Jieyuan himself?" Zhou Hongyi raised her head slightly.
"Yes, it was an email from Mr. Yang himself, and they quoted a price."
"What price?" Zhou Hongyi asked.
Although Zhou Hongyi didn't have the slightest affection for those international Internet giants after the last Google incident, but when he heard that Yang Jieyuan personally sent him an email, he felt a little solace in his courage.
If that's Yahoo's attitude, it's in stark contrast to Google's indifference.
Zhou Hongyi's heart beat faster.
But this is just the beginning.
After a while, Qi Xiangdong's almost screaming cry came from the other end of the phone.
"He...he offered $100 million."
"What?" Listening to Qi Xiangdong's words, Zhou Hongyi only felt a rumbling in his mind, and the whole person felt like a heavy blow.
"One hundred million dollars, how is that possible?" Zhou Hongyi muttered.
As we all know, when it comes to commercial quotations, the initial quotation is generally not the reserve price, that is, there is still room for activities.
For example, Alibaba initially quoted 50 million, but it became 60 million when it was finally implemented.
Yang Jieyuan suddenly quoted a astronomical price of 100 million US dollars. If the final transaction is made, what price will it be?
One hundred and ten million dollars? or more?
Zhou Hongyi felt that everyone in this world was crazy.
The current market value of the three portal giants is only about 100 million US dollars. Is their 3721 really so valuable?
Zhou Hongyi suddenly felt that the world was full of illusion.
"Mom, I'm sleepwalking, am I sleepwalking?" Zhou Hongyi murmured.
Wang Gongquan also heard the voice from the phone's microphone, and he also looked at Zhou Hongyi in disbelief.
"One hundred million dollars?" Wang Gongquan felt that happiness came too suddenly.
Originally, Alibaba's $60 million offer had surprised him, but now, Yang Jieyuan suddenly raised the price to a dizzying height.
"Why don't you find a computer to check your emails first?" Wang Gongquan asked in a low voice.
First of all, we must confirm the authenticity of this matter. If this matter is true, then this signing meeting is indeed unnecessary, and the previous verbal agreement with Alibaba will naturally be completely meaningless.
I believe Ma Yun can understand this.
Watching Zhou Hongyi and Wang Gongquan walk in with solemn expressions, Ma Yun hurriedly said, "Can we start?"
Zhou Hongyi slowly shook his head.
"Can you lend me a computer, I have to read an email first." Zhou Hongyi said with an apologetic smile.
Ma Yun frowned, then nodded.
Soon, Alibaba staff brought a laptop, and then pulled a network cable.
Zhou Hongyi trembled slightly and opened 3721's corporate mailbox.
Seeing that Zhou Hongyi was not avoiding her, Ma Yun also looked at the computer curiously.
He wanted to know what kind of email interrupted Zhou Hongyi's signing meeting with him.
The mailbox was quickly opened, and Zhou Hongyi saw the email from Yahoo's official mailbox at a glance.
Ma Yun also saw it, and his heart suddenly shook.
"Could it be?"
Ma Yun became more nervous than ever.
Seeing that the letter came from Yahoo's official mailbox, Zhou Hongyi was already more than half convinced.
He quickly opened the mailbox.
The content of the mailbox is very long, but it is not the formal document business format between enterprises~www.novelbuddy.com~, but more like a family letter between two old friends.
This format did not disgust Zhou Hongyi, but made him feel extra warm.
In the email, Yang Zhiyuan first surfaced his identity, and then expressed his appreciation for Zhou Hongyi.
Then, Jerry Yang praised 3721's achievements in China Internet, and then expressed Yahoo's willingness to acquire 3721.
These are not the main things. The main thing is that the "100 million US dollars" between the lines of writing is like a flashbang, stinging people's eyes.
Zhou Hongyi's heart beat suddenly.
His mind rolled quickly, and then he gradually gave up his resistance.
Not only was Yahoo's offer higher, but he had other reasons why Zhou Hongyi couldn't refuse.
First of all, Yahoo has been in the Huaxia market for several years. Although it has done a normal job, it has formed a set of methods for doing things in China.
Secondly, Yahoo is a prosperous brand in the world. It is a pioneering enterprise in the Internet industry and has the world's leading technology.
And this is what 3721 needs most urgently.
"If 3721 has the search technology provided by Yahoo, will China's search market be another situation?"
Unconsciously, the search dream that was deeply hidden in Zhou Hongyi's heart was stimulated again, and then it grew like wild grass.
Looking at the email on the screen, and then at Zhou Hongyi, whose face became rosy, Ma Yun sighed deeply.
It is impossible for Alibaba to pay such a large price for 100 million US dollars.
Thinking of this, Ma Yun looked frustrated, and then closed her eyes in pain.
The current situation is already obvious, because this is a multiple-choice question that elementary school students will do.
