Technology Bigshot Chapter 11: : Sky-high asking price
Chapter Eleven: Asking the Sky
Change the world
These four words were just heard by Zuckerberg and the school leaders who were about to reach the door of 317. Zuckerberg could naturally understand the meaning of the Chinese sentence, which made him very curious about the upcoming meeting and design What is the founder of the company that came up with this product?
The sound of knocking on the door sounded, Ren Hong made a silent gesture, and then went to open the door in person.
"Uh..." Ren Hong was shocked.
The Zhang Han inside saw Ren Hong's expression and suppressed a smile, and whispered: "Our boss has shown new skills again, this acting, as if he really didn't know that Xiao Zha was here! I serve! "
The crowd agreed.
"Student Ren Hong!" The school leader obviously knew Ren Hong, and he smiled and said, "This one must be no stranger! Mr. Mark Zuckerberg."
Ren Hong quickly recovered from his "surprise" and said at the same time: "Mr. Zuckerberg, it's an honor to meet you!"
"It's an honor to meet you too, Mr. Ren," Zuckerberg said with a smile.
After the two sides shook hands enthusiastically, Ren Hong expressed doubts: "I wonder if Mr. Zuckerberg is here because of our products?"
"Yes!" Xiao Zha smiled: "I have read the email sent by XlouS to Facebook headquarters, and I came to China as soon as possible. Facebook hopes to discuss the possibility of cooperation with your company."
Foreigners really don't drag on the water, Ren Hong thought, this little Zha did not shy away from the topic as soon as he came up, but he likes such people.
"It's an honor, I think I'm very much looking forward to the possibility of cooperating with the great company Facebook." Ren Hong said politely and politely.
"It's not too late, let's find a comfortable environment to talk more slowly?" Zuckerberg suggested.
"Agree!" Ren Hong nodded with a smile and added: "I'll explain it first."
Zuckerberg nodded kindly and watched Ren Hong return to the classroom. Although it is indeed a bit shabby, it is also the company residence of XlouS, and Zuckerberg will not enter at will without permission.
After a while, Ren Hong came out, "Leader, and Mr. Zuckerberg, please!" He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of "please". Facing the school leaders and technology giants, Ren Hong did not show it. Any nervousness is always neither humble nor arrogant, which surprised the school leaders. It seems that the person who designed an amazing product is also amazing, or a genius.
Such a person is always extraordinary.
After coming downstairs, Zuckerberg, Ren Hong walked side by side with the school leaders, especially Zuckerberg smiled and chatted with Ren Hong on the left from time to time.
This scene surprised the alumni who saw it on the way. All the students who saw this scene were shocked, because Ren Hong was too young, and he looked ordinary wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt and gray jeans. The only surprising thing is that he was so smooth when talking to Zuckerberg, and even fiddled with his body language from time to time, and he looked like he was talking and laughing.
The quick-witted classmate took out his mobile phone and took a picture on the spot, and sent it to the forum and circle of friends.
Second floor: "Hey! Who is this young man to the left of Xiao Zha?"
The third floor: "Fuck, why is there such a sense of sight that two Internet giants are chatting? Is it an illusion?"
Fourth floor: "Who is this little friend? He's so good! If I change it to my heart that's already excited!"
Sixth floor: "Why is the fifth floor missing?"
Seventh Floor: "Summon the Emperor of Truth!"
Eighth floor: "The young man on Xiao Zha's left is called Ren Hong. He is a sophomore in the Department of Computer Science and a top student in the library. Psychology and physics are involved in all kinds of messes. After being suspended for one year, he resumed school, and then registered an Internet technology company called XlouS, and launched the first product instant online mutual translation application. Yes, the school's recent popular translation software is from this technology company called XlouS Finally, a warm reminder, this little friend is currently single, ask me why I know? Please call me the truth emperor!"
The ninth floor: "I wipe! The truth is upstairs!"
The tenth floor: "It's so easy!"
……
Ren Hong was completely popular at Tsinghua University, just because he stood side by side with Zuckerberg, and the scene of chatting with each other shocked many people. At this point, alumni began to dig out the information about Ren Hong. In the end, it was discovered that the popular instant online translation in the school was designed by Ren Hong.
"I bet! I know what Xiao Zha came to our school for!"
"Are you kidding me upstairs? Everyone here doesn't know that Xiao Zha came to school for Ren Hong and his company's products!"
"The answer is upstairs! Just to my surprise, Zuckerberg actually came in person. I have a hunch that XlouS is going to be popular! It must be popular!"
When the campus forum was chatting about Ren Hong and Zuckerberg, the parties had come to the nearest European-style Starbucks coffee shop in the school.
The school leader did not come because he already knew the purpose of Zuckerberg's coming here. Thinking of the upcoming business cooperation between the two sides, the school leader arranged for two graduate students from law schools to accompany them. Hong went to negotiate, and Ren Hong was very grateful for the school's arrangement, because the school did not intervene and the negotiation only called two master students, which would not affect his decision.
In a quiet and comfortable box, the two sides sat opposite each other. Sitting behind Ren Hong were two graduate students, senior and senior, who were a few years older than him. They were also very curious, but their good qualities allowed the two of them to sit quietly beside them.
As for the opposite, Zuckerberg and her assistant.
I saw Xiao Zha take a sip of coffee and speak first: "Then, Mr. Ren, let's go straight to the point."
Ren Hong smiled and nodded in agreement. Zuckerberg paused and immediately assumed the role of negotiating a businessman, saying, "I wonder if Facebook has the possibility to invest in your company? I believe it will definitely invest in your company with the greatest sincerity!"
Facing Zuckerberg's tentative opening, Ren Hong shook his head and saw him say slowly: "XlouS is not considering any investment for the time being. Sorry!"
"It's such a pity, but seeing Sequoia Capital and IDG returning from disappointment, it can be regarded as a little balance in my heart." Xiao Zha laughed teasingly, which made both sides reveal A kind smile.
"Then, Mr. Zuckerberg, what kind of cooperation do you plan between us? If possible." Ren Hong said with a faint smile.
The two masters seniors behind them were secretly surprised when they saw that this junior was neither humble nor arrogant, with a calm and calm face to discuss with technology giants like Zuckerberg, and at the same time they were also full of admiration. You must know how much Ren Hong is now. young? And what kind of person is he negotiating with?
Zuckerberg paused when he heard the words, and then said: "Facebook is willing to buy the exclusive license of your company's instant online translation product in the field of social networking for $2 billion, what do you think? ?"
Ren Hong listened to the other party's words with a smile. During the negotiation, Zuckerberg spoke English. After a moment of silence, he shook his head slightly, then stretched out **** and said in fluent English: "There are two problems here. First, your concept is very vague, because we don't know if someone will launch the next moment. The new social networking platform, wouldn't this make me easily breach the contract?"
Zuckerberg immediately apologized when he heard the words: "Sorry, maybe I didn't express clearly, this problem can be solved specifically. Then the second one?"
Ren Hong nodded in understanding, then said: "The price of 2 billion US dollars is not enough to buy this exclusive license."
The two master students behind him were stunned when they heard it. Zuckerberg was shocked when he proposed $2 billion. This is already an astronomical figure. How much is enough to satisfy?
The negotiation fell into a brief silence. After a while, Zuckerberg looked at Ren Hong, "So what kind of price does Mr. Ren think is appropriate?"
"$12 billion!" Ren Hong said his price unhurriedly.
The next moment, the audience was silent, Zuckerberg's assistant and two master's seniors looked at him in disbelief, even Zuckerberg was stunned when he heard this.
The people present had such a thought, is Ren Hong crazy about money?
Even if Xiao Zha is very well-mannered, he can't help but want to yell at him and then turn around and return to China. He asks for 12 billion knives when he opens his mouth. Why don't you rob him? But in the end, he resisted the urge in his heart. He knew very well the importance of this trip, and he had to win the real-time online translation.
