Chapter 145 Two websites sold for 2 million? !
Wu You could finally breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this was all the ammunition he had. If the other party shouted 1 million, he would have to happily say GG.
Originally, he calculated very well at the beginning. He spent about 7000 million to take over the team-building website, and he embezzled the remaining money by making up excuses, saying that the company still needed operations, recruiting people, buying servers, etc. Anyway, his father didn't understand it either.
Unexpectedly, he ran into the prodigal son of the Wanda family who forced him to go all in. However, even if he went all in, it was better than getting nothing, because if he went back empty-handed, the money would have to be returned and would no longer be his.
At least I got the thing, and now I have a money-making machine that allows me to make money without doing anything. The monthly output is my pocket money, and I don’t have to ask my family for money anymore.
As children, we are already old enough and we cannot always ask our dad for pocket money. We are also worried about this family.
Facing the attention of the crowd, Wu You stood up, straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes, held her head high and walked towards the stage, with flashes of light flashing frequently along the way.
Dad, you should have seen it on the Internet. Our Wu family has become successful. I guess you will never be as successful as I am now in your lifetime.
Wu You then went on stage, signed the transaction confirmation, and gave a brief self-introduction in front of countless bigwigs.
When the bigwigs in the audience heard that Buyer No. 96 was from Shanxi and his family was in the mining business, they all smiled knowingly. No wonder he was so rich, which was consistent with their inherent impression. However, they still gave him a symbolic applause to give him face.
Listening to the applause of congratulations from the audience and the flash lights reshaping his body, Wu You took off his sunglasses and opened his arms to enjoy the glory of the moment. He felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and felt that he had reached the peak of his life, just like Iron Man in the movie.
Afterwards, Wu You sat down in the honor seat on the left of Chen Mo. After Wu You calmed down a little, he glanced at the young man next to him who was about the same age as him and only slightly less handsome than him.
Wu You looked at his simple clothes, his earlobes and wrists were empty, without any earrings or famous watches, and he didn't look like a child from a wealthy family. It's true that children from poor families have to grow up early.
He thought about talking to this guy after the auction to see if he could convince him to work with him, so that he could just sit back and reap the profits. If that didn't work, he could give him some shares and make him a partner.
As the dust settled on the Tuanjian.com incident, China Guardian’s official website and the media had already filled in the price in the press release at the same time and then announced it to the entire network.
After all, a website was sold for 100 million yuan. Whether it was sold at an auction or at a sky-high price of 100 million yuan, it was a record-breaking sale.
This news is unprecedented explosive news at present, which caused collective exclamation of netizens.
The instant success of the China Guardian Auction attracted much media attention, and their anticipation was aroused even more before the climax even began.
The media expects to have much greater influence than netizens, so the articles they process and report are even more exaggerated, and all kinds of gimmicky headlines emerge in an endless stream.
《Good news: The billion-yuan website broke the record! Bad news: There is another website in the queue》
"Why are Poly, Hanhai and Xiling so regretful?"
"I have a suggestion for China Guardian: they should contact the Guinness World Records"
"1 million websites now, will 2 million be far behind?"
"Will Tuan123 become a new miracle?"
These news headlines are different, but the meaning is basically the same, that is, in an hour, this record will most likely be broken. As for how much the price will be, we will have to wait and see.
However, things developed just as netizens expected.
Next, at the auctioneer's command, the auction of Group 123 officially began.
What happened next made all the audience feel as if the team-building network was just a warm-up exercise for the bigwigs from all sides to stretch their muscles.
Previously, the price on Tuanjian.com reached 1 million after nearly half an hour of bidding.
Group 123 broke through this price in less than 5 minutes, and even the auctioneer couldn't shout clearly, which shows how fierce the competition is.
For prices below 1 million, most of the top group buying websites are bidding against each other.
As for the leaders of NetEase, Sohu, and Sina, they also raised their cards a few times just to join in the fun and show their faces.
After all, this time they mainly took advantage of this occasion to reminisce with some friends and deepen their relationship. They also knew in their hearts that with these capital tycoons around, it would not be their turn.
When Wang Sicong realized the price had exceeded 1 million, he thought, what the hell, what's going on? He felt that his previous thoughts were a bit presumptuous, and he couldn't help but regret it. If he had known earlier, he would have used the Soha Tuanjian website. Now it seems that 1 million is really not expensive compared to Tuan123.
After exceeding 1 million, the situation turned into a fight between capital giants.
As if this game had just begun, No. 23 Shen Nanpeng started with 3000 million and bid 1.3 million.
This directly attracted all the group buying buyers, including those from portals. After all, these companies were backed by the capital institutions present here. It felt like the father was in power and the sons dared not act rashly.
This also made Wu You on the stage swallow his saliva. He had been somewhat complacent just now, but now he felt that his competition with Wang Shao was probably just a child's play in the eyes of these senior uncles.
"Buyer No. 9, 1.5 million!"
"Buyer No. 35, 1.6 million!"
"Buyer No. 66, 1.9 million!"
Subsequently, IDG's Xiong Xiaoge and Hillhouse Capital's Zhang Lei made bids in succession, starting a dialogue between capitals. Shunwei Capital's Lei Jun was not to be outdone and frequently raised his hands to demonstrate his strength and attract media attention.
"Buyer No. 69 bids 2 million!" Wang Sicong's sudden bid still caught many people by surprise, but it was only a little unexpected.
When the price exceeded 2 million, some investors also withdrew from the market. After all, they only cared about the interests behind Tuan 123.
Shen Nanpeng smiled slightly, thinking that the kid from the Wang family was interesting, and without any hesitation raised the sign "2.1 million"
Lei Jun also joined the battle, "2.2 million"
They all start at tens of millions, so Wang Sicong thought about it and decided not to play with the uncles, lest he anger them and get scolded when he got home, and he would be the one in trouble, so he put down the sign.
Next, Sequoia Capital and Shunwei Capital began to fight openly and secretly.
For capital, Tuan123 is a referee that influences the group buying market, so it is understandable that Sequoia Capital, which has invested in several group buying websites, is determined to win. However, Shunwei was just established and has no projects, so why would Lei Jun want to join in the fun?
What makes these media people wonder is why the three BAT companies are not making any moves. As an indispensable piece of the puzzle in the Internet market, Tuan123 is more urgent for them than the needs of those capitals, so there shouldn’t be no moves.
Just when they were wondering, the price exceeded 2.5 million, and Tencent, one of the Big Three, took the lead in making a move.
Xiao Ma Ge was the first to raise the sign, “3 million”.
The surrounding media flashed their cameras, making the room as bright as day.
The 3 million mark kicked off the battle among Internet giants, and Alibaba boss Cai followed closely with "3.1 million."
Shen Nanpeng lowered his head and was communicating something with Wang Xing next to him, then put down the sign in his hand and withdrew from the competition.
It's not that Sequoia can't afford 3 million. 5 million is just a little more troublesome for Sequoia. The value of Tuan123 is above 3 million. For Sequoia, it is not cost-effective. Most importantly, Sequoia doesn't have a team, and it is not confident to hand it over to the investment institutions below, so it gave up the competition.
The current situation has turned into a dispute between AT. Both sides want to take advantage of Tuan123 to make further progress in the group buying field. After all, for a group buying market worth hundreds of billions of yuan, a mere 3 million yuan is completely acceptable.
What they didn't expect was that a troublemaker suddenly appeared, which made Xiao Ma Ge and Boss Cai feel a little disgusted.
"Buyer No. 66, 3.51 million!"
When Pony Ma found out that No. 66 was Lei Jun, he was so angry that his teeth almost broke. What the hell? They want to steal my users and my website?
He had the impression that Lei Jun's personal investment portfolio did not include anything related to group buying, and Shunwei Capital did not invest in any projects. So why did he buy Tuan123? What was the point of buying it?
Pony Ma raised his sign directly, "Buyer No. 1 is Mr. Ma of Tencent. 4 million!" Boss Cai, who was not far away, thought about it and put down the sign in his hand. He could probably guess in his mind that the two companies were in a fight and he didn't intend to get involved.
The auctioneer on the stage shouted at the microphone at the top of his lungs, "Buyer No. 1, 4 million! First, second, and third! Buyer No. 99's first bid, 4.2 million!"
Wow. There is also Mengshi, which organization is this?
Everyone in the audience looked in the same direction, following the media flashes.
Li Yanhong was holding a sign in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, as if he was talking to someone.
From 1 million, 2 million, to 3 million, Baidu had never made a move before. Unexpectedly, its move was so shocking and had the effect of making the final decision, instantly becoming the focus of the whole audience.
When everyone knew that 4.2 million was the bid made by Baidu CEO Li, it was not surprising at all.
After all, Tuan123 is very similar to Hao123, the former is a group buying navigation, and the latter is a website navigation.
The latter was acquired by Baidu in 2004 for 5000 million in cash and stock. Li Xingping, the founder of hao123, who had only a junior high school education, became famous overnight and became financially independent. He later set up 4399, which made him a talented person without any education.
By acquiring hao123, Baidu can not only bring huge traffic to itself, but also monopolize the two major Internet portals: search engine and navigation website.
The same is true for the competition with Tuan123 this time. Baidu is bound to get involved in the group buying market, so as a group buying navigation entrance, it is the best entry point.
Among BAT, if we look at the market value, Alibaba has 100 billion US dollars, Tencent has 300 billion US dollars, and Baidu is in the lead with a market value of 380 billion US dollars. It occupies an absolute leading position in search, and its paid ranking makes its cash flow like a torrent. In addition, there are rumors that with Li Yanhong's current net worth, he may become the richest man in China next year.
The most crucial thing is that it was previously reported that Baidu had had contact with Renren, and Nuomituan, a subsidiary of Renren, was just launched a few months ago. With this association, Baidu's move this time has a reason to follow.
Chen Mo was also stunned. Wow, 4 million. His original expectation was only about 2 or 3 million. He didn't expect the boss to have such a high vision and courage.
But he saw Xiao Li was on the phone. Was he calling Mrs. Ma?
Nowadays, everyone knows a term called "Two Ma and One Li", which represents the current T0 echelon of the Internet, BAT.
In fact, this statement is not entirely accurate. In fact, according to Chen Mo's understanding, it would be more appropriate for China's Internet to have three horses in the same trough.
After all, the woman standing behind Xiao Li also has the surname Ma. Whenever Baidu is in turmoil, Mrs. Ma always appears in time to stabilize the situation.
Moreover, the reason why Baidu was founded in the first place was due to the fact that Mrs. Ma cut up Li's vegetable garden in the United States and drove Li, who was determined to become a California farmer, back to China, which led to Baidu's current scale.
However, when Chen Mo thought the situation was settled, he suddenly narrowed his eyes because he found that Xiao Lei had an eager expression on his face.
Damn it! Brother, don't play with fire. If it really breaks down, I won't be able to explain it.
Chen Mo secretly thought that this was not good. He frowned and shook his head slightly in the direction of Lei Jun, silently transmitting his telepathy. "Xiao Lei, look at me, look at me!"
Lei Jun in the audience really wanted to take over Tuan123. Shunwei currently has sufficient funds, and 1 million US dollars is equivalent to at least 6.8 million.
Moreover, if they can win this opportunity, they will not only gain both fame and fortune, but it will also increase the chips for Shunwei's remaining fund raising, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
But just when he was about to raise the sign, Lei Jun saw Chen Mo seemed to be shaking his head slightly at him, maybe it was an illusion?
Lei Jun hesitated for a moment, but never raised his card again.
Then Pony Ma’s heroic action finally put an end to Lei Jun’s thoughts. “Buyer No. 1, Tencent, 4.3 million, No. .”
Without waiting for the auctioneer to finish speaking, Li Yanhong hung up the phone, loosened his tie slightly, and raised his placard.
“Buyer No. 99, Baidu, 4.6 million.”
"Number 1 buyer, Tencent, 4.7 million, No."
"Buyer No. 99, Baidu, 5.1 million!"
Li Yanhong had a smile on his face. He knew whether a big boss would make a move or not. He had basically never put down the brand in his hand since he made the move. His every move showed the demeanor of an Internet big boss, as if 5.1 million was not much different from 51 yuan in his eyes.
As the Internet leader with a very low appearance, he has really wiped out a lot of film coverage from the surrounding media.
Finally, with Tencent giving up, the auctioneer’s countdown ended and Chen Mo dropped the hammer.
The auction price of Tuan123 was set at 5.1 million yuan and was acquired by Baidu.
Baidu's final move was as powerful as thunder, and such an aggressive bidding method really scared everyone.
5 million did exceed his psychological expectations. At least the final buyer was not Lei Jun. This was the only way Pony Ma could comfort himself.
Afterwards, Robin Li took the stage, shook hands, expressed his thoughts, and signed his name in one go, before finally sitting in the seat of honor.
Wu You quickly stood up and admired the person sitting last. He never thought that one day he would be able to sit at the same table with the head of Baidu and the future richest man. He felt honored.
Seeing this, Chen Mo stood up and shook hands with Brother Li, complimenting him. After all, he was a big boss who spent 5.1 million, so he had to show his attitude. "Boss Li, I have heard of your name for a long time. Today I see that it is indeed well-deserved, especially the excellent products your company has produced in the past. They are simply my role models."
"Mr. Chen's Beyond Technology has great potential. It has already created websites like Tuanjian.com and Tuan123. The future of Beyond Technology is limitless. By then, maybe even Baidu won't be its rival."
Li Yanhong was just being polite on the surface, but who would have thought that his words would come true many years later.
This was followed by a question-and-answer session, where several people on the stage took turns answering a variety of questions.
Everything went according to plan on the field, but the Internet was in an uproar. Two websites, 6.1 million, did they really treat it as Children's Day? .
Countless netizens looked at the calm young man on the screen, and they became uncalm.
What is the concept of 6.1 million? If you count the number of Shuang Fei Yan as , the quality is good enough. If you don't consider the physical factors, you can fly once a day and be the bridegroom every day without repeating. Let's put it this way. Your life can be called "Double Flying: From Birth to Death".
However, what surprised some netizens was that the young man's voice sounded familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere before.
Normally the auction would end here.
Kejiade later held a dinner at the Beijing Hotel, sincerely inviting big names from the Internet and financial circles to attend.
Basically, all the bosses and giants who didn’t have any urgent matters stayed. After all, they were already here, so they didn’t mind spending a little more time. Besides, such occasions were rare, and it was more lively and relaxed than the Internet conference.
After completing the relevant formalities, Chen Mo and Sun Ziwei followed the president of Guardian into the banquet hall.
After all, the two of them, together with Robin Li and Wu You, are the protagonists of tonight.
After finishing his speech on the stage, Chen Mo quickly ate a few bites to fill his stomach. Just as he was about to leave, he was besieged by many bigwigs and reporters who had been waiting for a long time.
Especially when they knew that there were only two people in Bian'an Technology, Chen Mo and Sun Ziwei, they immediately became interested in recruiting them.
Especially Pony Ma and Martin Lau, their attitude was quite good. A department head promised to go out, and they were almost ready to welcome him.
Sun Ziwei is timid and can do nothing even with three sticks. He can only rely on Chen Mo to play both sides and say different things to different people.
Fortunately, after making their presence known, Chen Mo and Sun Ziwei had many business cards of big shots in their hands, and at least they became familiar to them.
After a round of socializing, Chen Mo discovered that some bigwigs had very different personalities on stage and off stage, which really opened his eyes.
Seeing that there was almost nothing left for him to do, he wanted to drag his grandson Wei Beng and escape before Lei Jun noticed him.
The two men had just turned around and were about to run off the runway when they ran head-on into Lei Jun.
This is really "When it rains, it pours, and when you're on the run, you run into the enemy."
Don't panic if it ends here, there will be another chapter later~~~
