Zhang Long was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Lianyi's words, and then smiled: "Mr. Jiang, don't rush to refuse. We Penguin came here to discuss the acquisition with great sincerity. If we are not satisfied, we can talk again." ."
As the leading capital in Hongcheng, Zhang Long guessed that he would not like the double price offered by Penguin. Seeing that Jiang Lianyi and Su Yourong behaved indifferently, he added: "Even if Mr. Jiang takes a fancy to It’s not impossible to exchange Penguin’s publicity resources.”
Penguin still has the size. Zhang Long believes that if Huayu considers entering the Internet industry, he will definitely be interested in Penguin’s publicity resources.
But at this time, President Jiang smiled slightly: "Can I ask Manager Zhang a question?"
"You said it." Zhang Long nodded.
He knew things had turned around, and felt a little relieved.
I'm afraid that this young capital boss will directly refuse.
President Jiang lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup on the coffee table, picked up a porcelain cup, looked at it, and said softly: "If Manager Zhang is sincere in negotiating with us, can you reveal the purpose of acquiring Zhulang shares?"
Zhang Long smiled: "Penguin is interested in the prospects of Zhulang Studio, so he wants to invest in it."
It’s still the same rhetoric as before.
Jiang Lianyi paused and did not look at Zhang Long, but played with her green-white fingers: "Since it is an investment, why don't you go to Zhulang Studio instead of Huayu? Does Manager Zhang think that you Penguin are optimistic about it?" We Huayu don’t think highly of things?”
President Jiang's voice was very soft. She looked at Zhang Long and smiled slightly: "Isn't it possible that Manager Zhang came to Huayu for help because he was frustrated at Zhulang?"
Zhang Long touched his chin and said with a smile: "That's not true. It's just that I feel that the people who run Zhulang Studio are a group of students and they are not easy to communicate with, so I came to Mr. Jiang. If Mr. Jiang agrees to the acquisition, then that's it. Saves you some trouble.”
President Jiang nodded slightly and finally understood what Zhang Long meant: "In this case, I have to trouble Manager Zhang to make a trip."
"Mr. Jiang, this is..." Zhang Long was a little confused.
"Manager Zhang can go and take a look at CMC. CMC holds the same shares in Zhulang as we do at Huayu. Maybe Miss Murong from CMC will agree to Penguin's acquisition intention."
"As for me, Manager Zhang's trip was in vain. We at Huayu don't want to sell the shares of Zhulang Studio."
Jiang Lianyi stood up, smiled apologetically at Zhang Long, and then said to Su Yourong, "Yourong, please entertain Manager Zhang for me. I'm a little tired."
Her voice was a little cold, but also a little unquestionable.
Su Yourong nodded: "Okay, Mr. Jiang."
President Jiang turned and walked into his office.
Zhang Long watched the door of the CEO's office slam shut. The two delicate-looking female bodyguards at the door stared at him unkindly, and gave up the idea of chasing after him.
"President Su, this..." Zhang Long looked at Su Yourong for help.
Su Yourong also said a little coldly: "I'm sorry, Manager Zhang. What the boss means is what I mean. If Manager Zhang needs to go to CMC for a visit, I can help make the connection for Manager Zhang."
"All right."
Zhang Long also nodded helplessly.
....
As the sky darkened, Zhang Long walked out of the Twin Towers and came to the roadside to smoke a cigarette with some melancholy.
It is indeed not easy to negotiate an acquisition with Hongcheng, a leading capital company.
Zhang Long knew very well that people looked down on the price offered by Penguin. After all, if he really looked down on it, he would not give Zhulang Studio a financing valuation of hundreds of millions.
In other words, people have a lot of money and are willful.
It's just that Zhang Long was a little helpless after being frustrated one after another with Zhulang Studio.
Let’s try CMC again.
Zhang Long took out the business card in his hand, which was handed to him by Vice President Su of Huayu just now.
On it was a person's name and a series of phone numbers.
"Xiao He?"
Zhang Long stuffed the business card into his pocket, extinguished the cigarette butt that was about to burn out, threw it into the trash can, shook his head and walked to a nearby business hotel.
....
Qianhu, McLean Western Restaurant
Zhou Wan asked Zhou Yan what his specific plans were. Zhou Yan said he was a little hungry and could chat while eating.
The two had already made an appointment for a dinner, and Zhou Wan readily agreed. She asked Zhou Yan what he wanted to eat, and Zhou Yan said steak.
Zhou Wan also took Zhou Yan to this pretty good Western restaurant by the lake.
The style of the restaurant is very elegant, with romantic and lyrical music playing, and waiters wearing exquisite suits and evening gowns walking around.
Zhou Wan and Zhou Yan sat facing each other in a booth in the back to dine, very quietly.
"Zhou Yan, can you tell me your thoughts about sweeping the ecology now?" Zhou Wan asked with a smile at this time.
Zhou Yan nodded: "Actually, the idea is very clear. The scan function is very practical on mobile phones. On the one hand, we can embed the scan function into all our products. On the other hand, we can also license it to other Internet companies." Products using our scan patent.
And as long as we continue to expand the content system of QR codes, such as scanning code to search questions, scanning code to log in, scanning code to download, scanning code to pay, scanning code to collect and other functions, can we attract enough user groups and create a A QR code ecosystem centered around the scan function? "
Zhou Yan continued: "The reason why I set up an independent company to specialize in scanning the patent is because we have this intention. We can not only develop our own Internet products around the scanning function, such as the search app, but also We can let Internet companies like Penguin and Alibaba cooperate with us, and we will charge a lot of patent fees."
"At the same time, our thinking does not need to be limited to the Internet. Travel, accommodation, catering, and shopping, such as scanning QR codes to order food, scanning QR codes to stay, scanning QR codes to browse cultural relics and history, scanning QR codes to monitor the production chain of Shuoyuan products, and check product production quality, can all be done It relies on the two functions of scanning and QR code.”
Zhou Yan spoke in detail, and Zhou Wan listened attentively. Even Zhou Wan kept looking at Zhou Yan's dark eyes. She suddenly felt that Zhou Yan's eyes were very attractive, as if they were glowing.
Especially how serious and focused Zhou Yan was when analyzing the future development of the patent.
"Sister Wan."
Zhou Yan saw Zhou Wan was in a daze and waved his hand in front of Zhou Wan's eyes.
"Yeah...I'm listening."
Zhou Wan came back to her senses, smiled sheepishly, and said naturally.
She also felt a little ashamed. She was distracted just now because she was looking at Zhou Yan. It was too impolite.
It can only be said that the younger brother's charm is getting stronger and stronger.
However, despite her wandering mind, Zhou Wan also heard what Zhou Yan said. She found that Zhou Yan not only thought deeply, but also thought broadly, and his thinking was not limited to the Internet industry.
If Zhou Yan's idea can really be realized, wouldn't it be possible to scan this patent...
Zhou Wan finally understood why Zhou Yan said he wanted to develop a QR code ecosystem for mobile phones.
Because the industry chain corresponding to the QR code is too huge.
Just like Zhou Yan's registered company name.
Hongcheng Code Chain Technology Co., Ltd.
If a code chain covering travel, catering, shopping, and learning can really be created, then the profits gained from scanning patents will definitely be huge.
From a long-term perspective, it even has broader development prospects than Jiayuan App, a comprehensive service platform for college students.
only....
Zhou Wan took a sip of lemonade and calmed down the excitement and passion in her heart after listening to Zhou Yan's words: "Zhou Yan, you think too highly of me. Operating Code Chain is no easier than operating Zhulang Studio, let alone at the same time. I don’t have that much energy to take care of two people.”
Zhou Yan smiled: "Sister Wan, does she know about the Smart Cup Entrepreneurship Competition?"
"Business Plan Competition?"
Zhou Wan was stunned: "Does this have anything to do with the Entrepreneurship Competition?"
Zhou Yan said straight to the point: "Sister Wan, I hope you will lead a team to compete."
In fact, he also has another idea, which is to have a teacher-student addiction.
Principal Li asked him to lead the innovation and technology class, so he had to have something useful.
In his opinion, the Scanner patent developed based on QR codes will definitely be the best as long as it is well run.
"Zhou Yan, you want me to participate in the entrepreneurship competition?"
At this time, Zhou Wan also looked at Zhou Yan blankly.
She didn't expect to go around in circles, but instead returned to Zhou Yan who asked her to participate in the entrepreneurship competition.
"That's right."
Zhou Yan nodded: "We don't ask for the rapid development of this code chain company. As long as it can cope with the competition, it is enough. Sister Wan, you can completely allocate part of your energy to it, and we won't have to leave Hongcheng in Zhulang." How much visibility is required? To fully develop and operate a patent, visibility is indispensable. If we can gain visibility through entrepreneurship competitions, it will be much easier to develop the ecosystem."
"In other words, Zhou Yan, your original plan was to let me use this company to participate in the Zhichuang Cup Entrepreneurship Competition?"
Zhou Wan asked uncertainly.
Zhou Yan smiled and nodded: "That's what I mean. Not only can we scan the patents, our other products can also be put into this kind of national entrepreneurship competition to increase their visibility. The current shortcomings of Zhulang Studio are not The products are not good enough, but the popularity is too low. Isn’t this December Entrepreneurship Competition just a pillow for sleepy people?”
The Zhichuang Cup Entrepreneurship Competition is a national college student entrepreneurship competition. Well-known companies and enterprises will participate in it. The gold, silver and bronze awards in it are unmatched by ordinary competitions.
"But Zhou Yan, we Hongda students shouldn't be eligible to register for the Zhichuang Cup Entrepreneurship Competition, right?"
Zhou Wan didn't know the value of the Smart Cup, but the Smart Cup was different from regular competitions. It was a top national event initiated by the C9 College Alliance. The minimum qualifications for admission were 985 engineering universities, and 211 universities were still a bit behind.
What's more, Hongda is still a low-end 211.
Not to mention participating in the competition, even going to watch the competition will probably take a lot of effort.
"Sister Wan, look at this."
Zhou Yan handed Zhou Wan the invitation letter from Zhejiang University for the Entrepreneurship Competition.
The invitation was an envelope. Zhou Wan opened the envelope and read the contents carefully. The more she read, the more surprised she became.
Because it is clearly an invitation letter for the Intelligent Innovation Cup competition, inviting students from Hongcheng University to register for the competition audition.
Zhou Yan looked at Zhou Wan's surprised look and smiled slightly.
Sister Wan didn't know that he had a girlfriend studying at Zhejiang University. It was Xiaomo's effort that allowed Hongda to qualify for the audition this time.
Zhou Wan watched carefully, and Zhou Yan also explained beside him: "This year's organizer is Zhejiang University, and in order to make the Zhichuang Cup more grand, Zhejiang University has relaxed the entry threshold. As long as it is a double first-class university, it can sign up." Participate in the competition."
"So that's it."
Zhou Wan's beautiful eyebrows spread out.
She still felt a little incredible.
After all, it is the turn of Hongda students to participate in such a highly valuable event.
But Zhou Wan was still a little confused. She couldn't help but ask: "Where did Zhou Yan's invitation come from?"
"Principal Li gave it to me. Not only did he give me an invitation letter, he also opened an innovation and technology class in Hongchuan Academy and asked me to take the students in the innovation and technology class to participate in the Smart Innovation Cup competition."
Zhou Yan explained with a smile that he briefly told Zhou Wan what Principal Li told him.
Zhou Wan originally thought that Principal Li wanted to talk to Zhou Yan just to encourage him, but when he heard what Zhou Yan said, he was even more surprised.
Even the glass of lemonade originally held in his hand was slowly put down.
"Principal Li asked Zhou Yan to lead the innovation and technology class?"
Zhou Wan still didn't remember it, so she asked blankly.
How much did Principal Li like Zhou Yan to make such a bold attempt?
Even if this class is used for competitions and takes an unconventional path to graduate school, it is enough to show that Vice Principal Li is interested in Zhou Yan.
"All I can say is that everything is under control."
Zhou Yan said with a very pretentious smile.
Zhou Wan gave Zhou Yan a big roll of her eyes: "If you accept the job so hastily, don't end up looking like someone else."
Zhou Wan's words meant to blame Zhou Yan.
After all, the work Principal Li gave Zhou Yan was thankless.
It's good to say that he has achieved good results, but if Zhou Yan can't lead the students in the innovation and technology class, it will not be easy to do business by then.
After all, Zhou Yan has the ability to make Zhulang Studio a success, but that doesn’t mean he can bring a group of students to success together.
Moreover, the students in Hong Chuan Academy are all very arrogant, and those who can be selected into the innovation and technology class are also considered to be the best among the best. If Zhou Yan fails to handle it well, the consequences will not be simple.
I don’t know what Principal Li thinks.
Zhou Wan even wanted to question Principal Li immediately. After all, wasn't this an obvious attempt to torment Zhou Yan?
"Okay, Sister Wan, I've already taken over the job. Even if it turns out to be a different situation, it's not my fault."
Zhou Yan chuckled: "Principal Li just wants to give it a try. After all, after this entrepreneurial base is built, we can't be the only one doing it, Zhulang Studio."
When Zhou Wan heard what Zhou Yan said, she could only nod her head helplessly: "I hope you won't regret it then. It's obviously a thankless job."
Zhou Yan smiled. You get what you pay for. It’s not necessarily a thankless job.
not to mention...
"Sister Wan, why do you think I asked you to compete?" Zhou Yan reminded Senior Zhou Wan who was obviously not optimistic.
Zhou Wan was stunned for a moment, and soon knew what Zhou Yan meant.
She pointed at Zhou Yan in shame and said: "Okay, you even have my idea."
