Xiao Xingguo was very surprised that Li Jingran wanted to buy a data center. However, after thinking about it for a while, he understood Li Jingran's plan. His Sophon Voice thing is currently the unrivaled player in the voice input market. It is encroaching on the market of other voice input methods at a terrifying speed, making other companies that engage in voice input methods extremely embarrassed. Faced with the unrivaled performance of Sophon Voice, some small and medium-sized companies have already planned to close down and no longer get involved in this industry.
The competition and setbacks that other voice input method companies encountered in the market were quickly reflected in Zhiguan. The sharp decline in sales of various speech databases, especially the Chinese speech database, made Shenzhen Zhiguan¡¯s Profits fell sharply in the latest quarter. It can be said that part of the reason why Lao Yan wanted to sell Zhiguan, which was making less and less profit, was thanks to Li Jingran!
"No problem, brother, I'll go and find out for you right away. He probably hasn't signed a contract with that popular Shanxi guy yet, and is still in the most intense negotiations. If Lao Yan hears that someone is coming to compete with the Shanxi guy, he might be more sure. I'm happy. You're waiting for my news."
After Xiao Xingguo was surprised, he immediately felt excited. He thought, if Li Jingran's Zhizi Hi-Tech acquired Zhiguan, maybe he wouldn't need to resign. Even if he laid off employees, considering that he had cooperated with him For the sake of so many times, as well as the information revealed to him when acquiring Zhiguan, the help he received must also leave a place for himself in Zhiguan, right? Hehe, maybe not only will I not have to resign, but my position will be promoted by one level by then. That's not impossible!
With a little thought, the various joints and possibilities become clear. Xiao Xingguo, who was very good at seizing opportunities and at the same time able to take advantage of the situation, immediately took action. He completely stood in Li Jingran's position and assumed another role.
When Yan Ming received the call from Xiao Xingguo, he was bowing in the office and serving the buyer of the wisdom crown with a smile on his face, a wealthy Shanxi coal boss with a gold necklace as thick as his thumb around his neck. Yan Ming didn't want to do this, but voice data was a very cold industry. He kept the news that he was planning to sell the company in the industry for a month, but no one was interested. The only one who was interested was the extremely publicized person in front of him. What about the Shanxi coal boss?
"Damn it, have you finished digging the coal in Shanxi? You actually want to build a voice database, do you, a rich man like you, understand?" Yan Ming looked at the coal boss opposite with a pleasant look, but he was full of curses in his heart.
At this time, he received a call from Xiao Xingguo.
"What? Tomoko Hi-Tech is also interested?" Yan Ming's eyes rounded, then he covered his mouth and gave an apologetic look to the coal boss who was sitting on the leather sofa, "Boss Liao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Just a moment." After saying that, he hurriedly left the office and closed the door.
When Yan Ming returned to the office ten minutes later, his demeanor was no longer as "groveling" and deliberately trying to please, but his usual CEO demeanor was restored.
"Haha, Boss Liao, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I'm afraid I have to tell you some bad news. Zhizi Hi-tech is the developer of Zhizi Voice, which has become very popular in the input method field recently, and is also our Zhiguan Our regular customers, Mr. Li, have also expressed strong interest in acquiring Zhiguan, and their bid is much higher than yours, Boss Liao. So, Boss Liao, if your price cannot be increased, I'm afraid I want to apologize to you." Yan Ming looked at the coal boss with a smile and said leisurely.
For the sudden appearance of Cheng Yaojin, at first, the coal boss didn¡¯t believe it at all. He only thought it was Yan Ming's trick to boost his own self-esteem.
"Oh, that's right. How much is he going to spend to buy this crappy company of yours, Lao Yan?" the coal boss said disdainfully.
But Yan Ming didn¡¯t take it seriously and raised three fingers with a smile. "I added thirty percent to your quote!"
"Haha, 30%? It's impossible! Lao Yan, you don't have to be pretentious and looking for support. If you want to sell it at the price just now, let's sign the contract now and go through the handover procedures. If we don't sell it, then I'm leaving now." The coal boss laughed, not believing the strict lion's mouth.
"Haha, Boss Liao, do you think I look like that kind of person?" Yan Ming was calm and unmoved by Boss Coal's threats. Because in just ten minutes, he and Li Jingran had already agreed on a preliminary selling price. This selling price is a full 20% more than the Shanxi guy¡¯s bid!
"However, no one can complain about having too much money. Although in my heart I am already very inclined to sell the company to Tomoko Hi-Tech, but if we can do more, why not do more? Anyway, now there is competition between two families. The emperor¡¯s daughter doesn¡¯t have to worry about selling. NowHe just needs to be a fisherman who competes with the snipe and the clam to make a profit.
"Well, Boss Yan, congratulations on the good price. Farewell!" The coal boss was also very free and easy. He stood up, raised his feet and walked towards the door. In his opinion, if Yan Ming was really looking for someone to bluff, he would definitely get flustered when he saw him leaving, and then he would call him back before he could completely leave his office.
However, to the surprise of the coal boss, when he had already walked out of Yan Ming's office and left his office, he had not heard the voice of solicitation. Not only did he not hear the solicitation, but instead he heard the sound of "walk slowly." When he said "I won't give it away", the coal boss's face changed and his expression also froze.
"This old man Yan, is it true?" The coal boss frowned, then turned around and walked into Yan Ming's office.
"Haha, you old Yan, you actually made such a joke with me. Tell me, we are all upright people, how much do you want before you are willing to change hands?" The coal boss who returned to Yan Ming's office didn't feel too embarrassed. He laughed to himself and wiped away the unhappiness just now.
Facing the returning coal boss Yan Ming, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but he still held up three fingers.
"It's still 30%! This is impossible. Lao Yan, I don't have to buy this crappy company like yours, but I just want to find something to do for my bastard who is about to return from studying abroad. To be honest, let's not buy this company anymore. It¡¯s going in circles. How much do you want before you¡¯re willing to change hands?¡±
This time, Yan Ming did not answer immediately, but hesitated for a while, and then raised his fingers: two on the left and five on the right.
"Twenty-five percent? Two and a half million? Lao Yan, you are really dishonest. Forget it, my son will return to China in a while, and I am too lazy to tell you. Let's all be happy. . I will only add one million at most, totaling eleven million. You think about it carefully. If you think it¡¯s appropriate, give me a call.¡± After saying that, the coal boss stood up and left Yan Ming.
This time, there was no looking back.
Yan Ming knew that eleven million should be the limit and bottom line of the coal boss. Now, it was time for him to pressure Li Jingran. So, he called Xiao Xingguo in. First, he praised Xiao Xingguo, and then asked Xiao Xingguo to talk to Li Jingran. The purpose is of course to increase the price. Twelve million is not enough, so the coal boss is willing to pay thirteen million. If Li Jingran is willing to pay 13.5 million, he will sell the company to Zhizi Hi-Tech; otherwise, he will have no choice but to choose the coal boss.
Yan Ming¡¯s calculations are very precise. Due to the asymmetry of information, as long as Tomoko Hi-Tech really wants to buy his own company, he may be able to get it at the sky-high asking price.
However, despite all his calculations, Yan Ming failed to realize that there was only one guy in the company who was "stealing everything". Xiao Xingguo now respects Yan Ming very much on the surface, but in his heart, he has long been in the state of Cao Ying and Han. He has accepted his new master and regards himself as an employee of Zhizi Hi-Tech.
Xiao Xingguo lied, saying that his mobile phone was on his desk, so he left Yan Ming's office and said he would go back to pick up his mobile phone. But he walked straight to a deserted corner and revealed to Li Jingran that the coal boss had left and Yan Ming was going to use the coal boss as a guise to raise the price to him. Then, Xiao Xingguo returned to Yan Ming's office, took out his mobile phone, and started acting with Li Jingran in front of Yan Ming.
Frankly speaking, even if it costs 13.5 million to purchase Zhiguan, the price is not expensive. Because the various equipment in the sound laboratories in Zhiguan alone are worth five to six million, not to mention the huge various speech databases accumulated over the years. According to Xiao Xingguo Tell him, it¡¯s worth at least ten million! Therefore, with these two items alone, the assets of Shenzhen Zhiguan Voice Data Center exceed 15 million. Thirteen and a half million, it¡¯s really not a loss, and it¡¯s also a good deal.
Moreover, Zhiguan has more than just these devices and voice libraries. Those professional-level technicians are the "priceless treasures" that Li Jingran values ????more. If Xiao Xingguo hadn't leaked the news, let alone 13.5 million, even if Yan Ming raised the price to 20 million, he would have bought it! The existence of that coal boss made him unable to afford the gamble!
However, since there is Xiao Xingguo, a "traitor" who can take advantage of the situation, he naturally does not need to spend more of the unjust money. Moreover, in order to severely punish Delong Wangshu, he not only failed to increase the price as he expected, but instead lowered the price by half a million from the original price. Anyway, he is the only buyer now, whether he wants to sell or not!
After finishing the play with Xiao Xingguo and hanging up the phone, Li Jingran sighed, wondering why Japanese and foreigners like to use traitors so much.
After sighing, what made Li Jingran even more startled and thought deeply was: Why haven¡¯t he heard of many Japanese and foreign rapes?
