Chapter 127 Deal

After being silent for about a few minutes, Xu Yong looked at Li Dong and said, "Since you are not optimistic about Baidu, why does President Li insist on buying my shares?"

Li Dong shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm not optimistic, it's that I'm not optimistic now, and there is a lot to do in the future. I plan to hold it for a long time, and I don't want to cash out urgently. After ten or eight years, the Internet will surely usher in spring. I'm optimistic about the Internet. s future."

This is pure nonsense, and Li Dong secretly complained.

Xu Yong took it seriously, because Li Dong's meaning almost coincided with his.

He is also optimistic about the future of the Internet, but he is not optimistic about Baidu's present.

If you don't need to spend money urgently, then holding Baidu stock for a long time is indeed worth it, but what Xu Yong needs now is money.

Xu Yong rubbed his temples, feeling a little upset, and more importantly, he felt that he was starting to shake.

From the rejection at the beginning, to talking with Li Dong and the others for so long, it was his wavering performance.

Sell ​​it or not?

After thinking for a long time, Xu Yong said tiredly: "Let me think about it. And I have an agreement with the board of directors. Without the written consent of the board of directors and the majority of shareholders, the founder of the company is not allowed to transfer shares."

The original intention of this agreement was to target Xu Yong and prevent him from selling his shares to competitors, which would lead to Baidu's acquisition.

However, with the passage of time, there are not many shares in his hands now, and the board of directors will not disagree if he really wants to sell, otherwise he will not sell some of the shares before.

Li Dong and Gu Honglou knew that this was Xu Yong's excuse to see off the guest, so they naturally refused to leave now.

Strike while the iron is hot, and finally persuade Xu Yong, if he has to think about it for a while, Li Dong will not have to wait that long.

Gu Honglou waited for him to finish and then answered: "Leave this to me, and I will handle it from the Baidu board of directors."

He has dealt with almost all of Baidu's high-level executives. If Xu Yong didn't dare to make this package before he left, now he is 100% sure.

Moreover, Li Dong's money is not so easy to get, and it is too easy to expect to earn so much money in just a few words.

The various follow-up procedures and various problems that may be faced need to be dealt with by Gu Honglou.

Only when the real money and goods are cleared can the transaction be considered complete.

Xu Yong knew what the two of them meant, but he didn't let go: "I'll think about it again, and I'll contact you later."

Li Dong was a little unwilling, but he knew that he couldn't force it too hard, so he had to say: "Then Mr. Xu thinks about calling me again. I can't stay in the capital for a long time, and the company has a lot of things to do."

...

After leaving the building, Li Dong asked Gu Hong Lou, "Will Xu Yong sell it?"

Gu Honglou smiled wryly, who can say for sure.

However, everything that should be done has been done, and it is useless to go on. It is up to Xu Yong himself.

Thinking so, Gu Honglou still comforted him: "Mr. Li, don't worry, he will definitely agree."

Li Dong nodded, but he set a time for himself. Today is June 1st. If Xu Yong hasn't replied to himself before June 5th, then he is ready to give up.

...

Xu Yong didn't let Li Dong wait until the 5th, and called Li Dong on the 3rd, saying that he wanted to talk to Li Dong.

Li Dong, who hung up the phone, smoked a few cigarettes in a row, and then he calmed down. It was done!

The next thing is nothing more than the issue of price, but in Li Dong's view, the price is not a problem, as long as it does not exceed the issue price, he can accept it.

When Li Dong and Gu Honglou met Xu Yong again, Xu Yong felt a little sluggish.

Li Dong and the others thought it was Xu Yong's mental exhaustion after thinking for too long in the past two days. In fact, what they didn't know was that Xu Yong had experienced more than they thought in the past two days.

He has contacted a few banks and venture capital companies, or he is not optimistic,

Otherwise the conditions are harsh.

In short, Xu Yong has been hit hard in the past two days. Otherwise, relying on the last conversation, Xu Yong would definitely not make a decision so quickly.

Seeing Li Dong, Xu Yong didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "How many shares does President Li want?"

"How much do you have..." In fact, Li Dong wants to say how much you have and how much I want.

However, what Xu Yong said next surprised Li Dong, "I will not sell all of them, but at most 500,000 shares."

Li Dong swallowed, 500,000 shares?

And that's not all, how many shares does Xu Yong have?

Doesn't it mean that most of it was repurchased and part of it was sold? Why are there so many?

In fact, he has not yet realized Xu Yong's status. He is one of the two founders of Baidu. Except for Li Yanhong, no one can compare with him.

The 500,000 shares are less than 2% of the shares, but in fact Xu Yong still holds more than 7% of the shares.

The reason why only 500,000 shares are sold is that on the one hand, the money is enough to run the company, and on the other hand, Xu Yong still thinks that Baidu can take off, and he plans to hold the remaining shares for a long time.

Seeing that Li Dong didn't speak, Xu Yong frowned and said, "Mr. Li, do you think it's too much?"

Li Dong hurriedly shook his head, how could it be too much, this thing is naturally the more the better.

If possible, he would like to buy all the shares in Xu Yong's hands.

Of course, this is definitely impossible, not to mention whether Xu Yong will agree or not, nor whether Baidu's board of directors will agree or not, the key point is that Li Dong doesn't have that much money.

Last year, Google raised $5 million and acquired just over 2% of the shares.

This year's listing is imminent, and the price will definitely rise. In addition, Google's financing is to expand Baidu's reputation, and the additional effect is more important than money, so it is a bargain.

Li Dong knows that the price he spends is definitely much greater than that of Google.

In this way, it is difficult to say whether 50 million can win these 500,000 shares.

Sure enough, the next price Xu Yong offered made Li Dong jump.

"$30 per share!"

Li Dong almost scolded his mother, thinking about money crazy, 30 US dollars converted into RMB is almost 250!

When Google bought it last year, it was only about 60 yuan per share, and you quadrupled it at one time. Baidu hasn't been listed yet!

The asking price is naturally for counter-offering, Li Dong is not polite, and directly said: "10 US dollars!"

"Is this the sincerity that President Li said?" Xu Yong said dissatisfied.

"You can't ask for an overwhelming price, 30 dollars per share, which means that Xu thinks Baidu is now worth more than a billion dollars?"

"It may not be worth it now, but after the listing, I think it is definitely worth the price!"

Li Dong rolled his eyes, of course I know it's worth it, and I know that the peak is about to hit the $100 billion mark.

But that is the future, and now Baidu is far from worth it.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yong said again: "The third round of financing last year, the price per share has reached 12 US dollars, Mr. Li, how much do you think the per share can be worth now?"

"I remember that it was just an offer, and it seemed like Google took over 700,000 shares for $5 million."

"Mr. Li, do you think this is comparable?" Xu Yong is also welcome. This comparability is naturally a comparison between Li Dong and Google.

Li Dong scolded secretly, looking down on people, right? Brother Dong hasn't talked to you yet!

Glancing across the ancient red building, it's your turn to play!

Gu Honglou had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Li Dong's gesture, he immediately began to fight with Xu Yong.

The three talked for more than an hour, and finally Xu Yong insisted that he would not let go of 18 dollars.

No matter how little, he won't sell it, or sell it to another person. Anyway, $18 is his bottom line.

Seeing this, Li Dong also knew that I was afraid it couldn't be less. To be honest, he was very satisfied with the price.

Baidu's issue price was $27, and the opening price was $66. He was able to win it for $18, which was indeed a big profit, not counting the stock's rise.

However, if Li Dong won all the 500,000 shares, it would not be enough. 9 million US dollars, that is more than 70 million yuan, and Li Dong now has a difference of more than 20 million.

If the money is not enough, Li Dong decided to take it all anyway.

In the end, Li Dong agreed to Xu Yong's price of $18, and the two agreed to sign the contract three days later.

Today is just the first talk, tens of millions of transactions, not to mention Li Dong is not at ease, Xu Yong is also not at ease.

Next, a lawyer will be invited to the scene. If necessary, Li Dong is also prepared to ask the notary office for notarization.

After all, it involves tens of millions now, but it will be hundreds of millions and billions in the future, so he has to be careful.

Of course, the most important point is to raise money, more than 20 million has not yet been settled.
