Chapter 12: Happy Cooperation
Although Zuckerberg was particularly eager for real-time online translation in his heart, he said on the surface: "This is impossible, Mr. Ren, this is definitely not worth 12 billion US dollars, in your Chinese language, you are in The lion opened his mouth."
Ren Hong looked at the other party's slightly excited expression, a little funny in his heart, but on the surface he never panicked, he said, "Whether it's worth 12 billion dollars depends on how it is calculated."
"I'm curious as to why you dare to call out such an outrageous price." Zuckerberg listened intently.
Ren Hong didn't take it seriously, and said immediately: "Let's get straight to the point, Mr. Zuckerberg. After you received the news and came here the first time, in addition to sincerity, you also know this What will be the impact of the product launch."
Xiao Zha was slightly shocked when he heard this, but he concealed it well, and he continued to listen to the other party's words quietly.
"It is true that if Facebook does not buy the exclusive license of instant online translation on the social network platform, XlouS will never have a revenue value of 12 billion yuan on your competitors, indeed." Ren Hong took a sip After coffee, he continued: "However, we all know that the value of real-time online translation is far from the actual revenue on the surface. Its huge influence and its potential value cannot be seen, and it is difficult to use exact figures. Performance, but it is the most valuable. If this product is used on your competitors, it may have a huge impact on Facebook and even shake its dominance in the social field. On the contrary, if Facebook obtains an exclusive license, its dominance The position is more difficult to shake and helps to open up emerging markets and quickly capture the market..."
"If we choose to give up, what if it didn't show up? Or do I make an agreement with a competitor to ignore it?" Zuckerberg couldn't help interrupting the other party's words, saying, obviously for the other party's nakedness The robbery is very dissatisfied, and the other party has a mentality of being a rare commodity. Everyone can use it anyway, Facebook is still the social overlord.
"What does it have to do with me?" Ren Hong opened his hands to express his surprise and said, "This is a paid software. You can still do the same if you do not cooperate with my business, unless you can prevent users from not installing my product. You Union or not, or some kind of agreement, actually has nothing to do with me, but then again, maybe you don't care, but that doesn't mean you're always trying to outperform your competitors, even if they don't care , it doesn’t mean that people who have social dreams don’t care, Facebook’s annual revenue makes many people jealous.” Speaking of which, Ren Hong let his back rest on the sofa and raised his legs. , looked at Xiao Zha with a faint smile. The latter looked at Ren Hong's relaxed face, even gloating on his face, but his heart twitched. What the other party said was correct, because this is an artifact that is very likely to overturn his opponent, and no one has much to say about it. resistance.
Zuckerberg was silent, Ren Hong added: "To be honest, Mr. Zuckerberg, I'm sitting here talking with you just to see if I can get an extra revenue, can Naturally, it is the best, and it can only be said to be regrettable, but I think there is still a possibility of cooperation between us.”
"I would like to hear about it!" Zuckerberg responded in a deep voice. At this moment, he no longer treats the other party as a college student, but treats him as a real businessman. In the face of businessmen, everything is negotiable. Yes, as long as the price is right.
“If it is just to suppress competitors and consolidate the existing situation, 8 billion US dollars is enough. As for why the asking price is 12 billion yuan, I am thinking that if we both reach a strategic partnership, instant online translation will be powerful and practical. Sex and relying on the world's largest social platform, this is like a combination of two swords, strong alliances, with the help of real-time online mutual translation and its powerful functions to assist the social network platform to conquer the city all the way, what a perfect combination, isn't it? I know Zuckerberg Mr. Ge has always been obsessed with returning to Greater China. Apart from the government's attitude, if Facebook successfully returns to China, XlouS will play a pivotal role as its strategic partner. You must know that the instant messaging QQ owned by the local social network giant Tencent And the social network platform WeChat is deeply rooted in this land, and its status is hard to shake. If you want to grab a piece of fat from this giant's mouth, you can't do it without a pair of sharp teeth, and XlouS can provide you with a pair of sharp teeth. teeth."
Speaking of this, Ren Hong already felt a little dry. After taking a sip of coffee, he quietly waited for the other party's reply. At this moment, the two seniors behind him have already turned up a storm in their hearts. This young junior should say that he is ignorant or extremely arrogant, that is the Tencent Empire that is known to be unshakable in China, but what he said It's so easy, but it's the right way to say it.
Obviously, Ren Hong's last words spoke to Zuckerberg's heart. For Greater China, he has always been obsessed with it. He dreams of entering this huge market, not only to pass the government, but also to How difficult is every step to face strong local competitors?
"I have to say, Ren! You're a very cunning young entrepreneur. All of this seems to be beneficial to Facebook, but it's actually free to help promote your product." After a long time, Zuckerberg laughed The author said, it is worth noting that his name for Ren Hong has changed, Ren! rather than Mr. Ren.
Ren Hong smiled slightly, but he was very clear in his heart, and said: "Mutual benefit, win-win! Instant online translation and Facebook seem to be a pair of twin brothers, you have me, I have you, and complement each other, don't they? ?"
"Indeed!" Zuckerberg smiled and nodded.
Ren Hong suddenly had a mysterious taste and said: "Let me tell you a little, Zach! At present, XlouS is developing version 2.0 of real-time online mutual translation, that is, the real-time video and text subtitle translation, which is expected to be at the latest half a year. Can be pushed out."
Zuckerberg heard the words, and after a while, he stood up from his seat, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Happy cooperation!"
Ren Hong also stood up from his seat, stretched out his right hand with a smile, and said, "Happy cooperation!"
The two master students behind Ren Hong, the senior and the senior, looked at each other in disbelief, especially the female senior, whose wide eyes were full of incredible, she felt that the world was too crazy It's too unscientific.
$12 billion.
Ren Hong and his company not only did not pay any price, even Facebook was considered a free promotion for a period of time, and they had to post 12 billion US dollars!
And Zuckerberg said yes!
The two graduate students felt dizzy.
"Then draw up a contract now?" Zuckerberg suggested.
"No problem!" Ren Hong nodded.
Obviously, for Xiao Zha, this trip can only be considered a complete and perfect end if he wins the contract.
It is worth mentioning that none of the world's giant companies will be as kind as they appear. If Facebook can achieve today's achievements, it is also a **** way to stand out in the cruel competition. Such a giant company will The appearance of kindness is always fake, if it is not based on the urgency of time and the unique and subversive qualities of this product, no matter what, it is impossible for Zucker to agree so easily, even if Zuckerberg The essence of DT's thinking will not be so hasty.
"Senior? Senior?" Ren Hong turned and called to the two master students, but the other party didn't seem to respond.
"Ah! Xue...Mr. Ren, I'm sorry, I lost my temper!" The senior said embarrassedly after reacting, and at the same time pulled the sleeves of the classmates beside him, and the senior came back to his senses.
Ren Hong didn't care, smiled and said to the two outstanding students of the law school: "I will trouble you about the contract. I will pay you a remuneration after the completion of the contract, each of you is fifty thousand dollars." /
"Ah! No! We are arranged by the school and don't need compensation." Although the senior was surprised, he shook his head.
But obviously, Ren Hong will not be stingy with this money. He also knows that even if he does not pay them, the other party will help him review the contract, but he will be more serious when he is paid. Ren Hong is very aware of this, so he said : "Senior and senior sister, there is no need to shirk. Although it is arranged by the school leaders, it is what you deserve. This is my principle. You can consider it as obsessive-compulsive disorder." Ren Hong smiled and added: " However, you also have to draw up a non-disclosure agreement regarding the conversation just now."
"No problem! Leave it to us!" The senior nodded. Seeing Ren Hong say this, they no longer shirk. Now Ren Hong can be regarded as a billionaire. Even now, senpai still feels that everything is dreamlike.
The problem of the contract is solved by professionals. At this moment, Ren Hong and Zuckerberg are sitting next to each other and chatting softly. Here, the two law school master students are looking at the line of text in the contract very seriously.
"It must be strict and strict. This is an astronomical contract. We have received money from our juniors, so there is no room for sloppiness," the senior reminded.
"I know." Senior Sister replied in a low voice, at this moment, her heart was still thumping.
