"That's not enough. StarChat has more than 100 million active users, but how many of these users know how to use maps? Mr. Luo, your condition is no different from a blank check." Mr. Li refused without thinking.

.

Seeing that several of his proposals had been rejected, Luo Fan simply kicked the ball back: "Then how does Mr. Li want to cooperate?"

"As far as I know, the relationship between Xingyuan and Da Mi should be very good?"

"Well, our cooperation with Mr. Lei is very pleasant."

"That's it! Then I have three conditions. First, I want 10% of the shares of StarChat and the corresponding voting rights. Second, we want to cooperate with Rice. In the future, Rice's mobile phones can only be pre-installed with Baidu Map. Third, Baidu Map

The share exchange ratio of Xingyuan Pay is 1:2, and 1% of Baidu Map’s shares must be exchanged for 2% of Xingyuan Pay’s shares.”

After hearing Mr. Li's conditions, Luo Fan smiled and said, "If this is Mr. Li's bottom line, then there is no need for us to talk.

Without counting what I said earlier, our cooperation is in two aspects. First, Xingyuan Payment is connected to Baidu's payment system, and Baidu no longer connects to other payment software. Second, Xingyuan provides Baidu with the third generation of large payment software.

Data Algorithms.”

Mr. Li frowned when he heard this. His condition just now was just a test. He wanted to make sure that Luo Fan was serious about the shares paid by Xingchao and Xingyuan.

As a result, Luo Fan's attitude was much more decisive than Mr. Li expected, and the mere provocation almost caused the negotiation between the two to break down.

However, Mr. Li has been in shopping malls for many years, so he will naturally not be frightened by Luo Fan's attitude.

He sorted out his emotions and said: "If we follow Mr. Luo's second plan, we must at least get your company's fourth-generation technology.

Because compared to Xingyuan Pay, Alipay obviously has more users. When we launch Baidu Takeout in the future, users will not need to bind additional cards, and our chances of losing users will be much smaller.

If you use your company's Xingyuan payment method, many users will have to re-bind their cards, which will not be of any benefit to us in promoting our takeout business in the future.

I think this part of the loss should be borne by Xingyuan, right? So if it is the second type of cooperation mentioned by Mr. Luo, it should at least come up with fourth-generation technology, right?"

After listening to Mr. Li's words, Luo Fan thought for a moment and then said: "If we come up with fourth-generation technology, I require that we hold at least 45% of Baidu Waimai's shares in the future."

"Lo always wants a veto?"

"That's right!"

"But Baidu Waimai also knows how to raise funds. Mr. Luo's veto power may not be preserved."

"It's enough in the early stage. To be honest, I don't trust some of your company's decisions. I want to ensure that my assets will not be lost in the early stage."

Mr. Li's face turned dark when he heard this. Just as he was about to refute, he remembered Baidu's recent pig comparison operation and various investment failures.

On the other hand, Xingyuan has been making great progress all the way, and none of the big projects it invested in, such as theater chains, Xingchao, Neihan Duanzi, etc., have lost money.

Mr. Li's words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

After a while, Mr. Li finally agreed.

It is not a loss for Baidu that Luo Fan holds 45% of the shares. Anyway, the food delivery business will definitely not be able to escape the subsidy war in the end. The more shares Luo Fan holds, the more money it will pay.

So far, the two parties have initially reached an intention to cooperate.

Xingyuan Payment is connected to Baidu's payment system. In the future, Baidu Waimai Xingyuan will occupy 45% of the shares, and Xingyuan will pay for the fourth generation of big data algorithm technology and help Baidu become familiar with the technology.

After the general strategic cooperation was reached, Mr. Li changed the topic and asked: "Mr. Luo, does your small station still need financing?"

"Of course it is necessary. Are you interested, Mr. Li?"

"One thing, I just want to make sure what your company's future plans are for this long video website? You can't always focus on animation and two dimensions, right?"

"Of course not. Xiaopozhan will definitely be reformed in the future. The initial reform direction is to become a website for all young people."

"What about anime and two-dimensional animation?"

"This is Xiaopo Station's fundamentals that it is absolutely impossible to give up." Luo Fan said.

"Mr. Luo, what is your company's valuation of Xiaopo Station?" asked Mr. Li.

"It's almost 600 to 800 million yuan."

"600 to 800 million yuan?" Mr. Li frowned when he heard the quotation.

The largest video website at this stage is undoubtedly Youku. Youku is now listed, and their market value is about 3 billion yuan.

Youku's old rival Tudou failed to go public due to the divorce of its largest shareholder. After the company split, its current valuation is between 100 million yuan and 100 million yuan.

In fact, the scale of the small website is not inferior to that of Youku or Tudou. The only advantage it has is that it has a large number of animation copyrights, and it also has a good cooperative relationship with the animation copyright owners in the island country. Based on this valuation

600 to 800 million yuan is obviously too high.

Thinking of this, Mr. Li shook his head and said, "Mr. Luo, isn't your valuation a bit outrageous?"

"Mr. Li, our valuation is not high at all. If you are interested, you can stay in Shanghai for a few more days. I will ask the person in charge of Xiaopo Station to talk to you in person. Then you will know how much we value Xiaopo Station."

Is the website’s valuation unreasonable?”

After hearing this, Mr. Li hesitated and nodded in agreement.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to see how much better Xingyuan's big data algorithm was than the outside world.

In this way, Mr. Li stayed in Shanghai for a week. During this period, Luo Fan arranged for Gao Meng and Wang Jing to accompany him.

Gao Meng mainly promoted the small website. Luo Fan felt that if he could cooperate with Baidu, it would be much stronger than other messy capital.

Wang Jing is responsible for explaining Xingyuan’s big data algorithm to Mr. Li.

After a week of understanding, Mr. Li finally understood how big the gap was between Xingyuan's big data algorithm and the outside world.

To give the simplest example, it is the same advertisement. Now the outside world can only simply divide the data and push the advertisement to the big categories of men or women.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xingyuan’s fourth-generation big data algorithm can accurately push advertisements to people in the same community.

The difference is so huge, it can be said that one is in the sky and the other is on the earth.

In order to strengthen the confidence of both parties in cooperation, Luo Fan also specially let Mr. Li see Xingyuan's most advanced sixth-generation big data algorithm.

Of course, the algorithm claimed by Mr. Li is the fifth generation big data algorithm.

In fact, starting from the fifth generation of big data algorithms, the focus of big data algorithms has shifted to the supercomputer.

The transfer of the sixth-generation big data algorithm has been completed. The algorithm fully relies on that supercomputer, and some cloud computing has also been added.

The precise range of push notifications can already reach people. With the help of cloud computing, it takes only a dozen seconds to complete data screening, determine the preferences of a single user, and push corresponding advertisements to them.

After seeing the fifth generation big data algorithm, Mr. Li was so greedy that he almost drooled.

He didn't expect that the difference between one generation and another was so huge.

However, Mr. Li also knew very well that this technology was obviously not for sale, and Xingyuan only showed it to him.

In addition, Mr. Li also understood why Xingyuan’s valuation of Xiaopo Station was so high.

Because Xiaopozhan plans to complement one of Xingyuan’s core businesses, connotation and jokes, in the future.

At present, the outside world is very greedy for Xingyuan's core business, but Luo Fan keeps an eye on these businesses very closely. The shares have not been leaked at all, and the outside world is not allowed to interfere at all.

In the future, the small broken station will involve part of Xingyuan's core business, so the price quoted for this small broken station will only be low or not high.

In the end, Mr. Li agreed to finance Xiaopo Station, and he spent 140 million yuan to purchase 20% of Xiaopo Station's shares.

After Baidu entered the market, the shares of Xingyuan and the original webmaster and CEO of the small website were diluted.

At present, Xiaopozhan’s shareholding ratio has become 62.5% for Xingyuan, 20% for Baidu, 7.5% for the webmaster, and 10% for the others.

It is worth mentioning that Gao Meng himself has also acquired shares in some small broken websites. Of the 10%, 3.5% is in Gao Meng's hands.

The money to buy shares in Xiaopozhan comes from the high salary and share incentives over the years.

After the balance of payments of Xiaopo Station was broken some time ago, some people were afraid that the shares would fall into their hands and chose to sell. At this time, Gao Meng entered the market and bought their shares.

Soon, news spread in the industry that Xiaopozhan received 140 million yuan in financing from Baidu.

Many people in the circle were surprised because they knew that Mr. Li from Baidu went to Shanghai.

But they didn't expect that after so many days, the two parties would reach a financing agreement for a small and broken website, which was obviously not in line with common sense.

How can a small broken website be worthy of a week-long discussion between the boss of Baidu, one of the Big Three, and the boss of Xingyuan, an upstart Internet company?

But apart from this financing, neither Baidu nor Xingyuan released any other news. People in the circle asked around and found no useful information.

At Alibaba's headquarters, Mr. Ma frowned after learning about this and said: "These two guys have been talking for a week and they came up with a financing plan for a video website? Does Xiao Wang have any other information?"

"Mr. Ma, this is all we can find out." Xiao Wang replied.

"This is very strange. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible! We're talking about financing a video website in just one week. Do they have nothing to do?"

"Mr. Ma, now that Baidu has entered the market, should we still attack Xiaopo Station?"

"Yes! Of course I do. Didn't I ask you to accept the job from Youku? How is the situation?" Mr. Ma asked.

"Youku does have the idea of ​​​​entering the two-dimensional field. They have just spent a lot of money to purchase the copyright of the feature-length animation "Gintama", and they plan to purchase the copyright of other animations in the future."

"Are they willing to cooperate with us?" Mr. Ma continued to ask.

"Of course I am willing, but I don't think the conditions they gave are suitable."

"What conditions?"

"They want to buy potatoes and hope we can help."

Mr. Ma was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "This is a good thing! Youku has acquired Tudou, which makes it a dominant player in the field of video websites."
