I'm from Baidu headquarters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan shook hands with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, have a seat. I didn't expect you to arrive so early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they sat down, Chen Wenchao explained with a smile, \"I arrived in Yunhai last night. With nothing to do this morning, I decided to come over after breakfast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Chen, you've chosen an excellent teahouse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded. He had just randomly picked a place, having never actually been here for tea before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, I knew you were young before coming here, but I didn't expect you to be even younger than I imagined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, we both have the surname Chen. Seems like we have quite a connection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan ignored the man's attempt to build rapport. He could tell at a glance that this guy was an experienced professional, clearly much more capable than the person he met a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Chen Fan decided not to follow the other's pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the teacup, took a small sip, then put it down and looked up at the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much is Baidu willing to pay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao's expression froze slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected Chen Fan to be so direct, without even a transition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, in business negotiations like this, both parties would first try to build rapport, chatting about various topics for a while before gradually getting to the main point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Fan had gone straight to the topic before they had even settled in their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Chen Wenchao quickly regained his composure and smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems Mr. Chen is quite impatient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan said calmly, \"Since you're interested in buying and I'm willing to sell, why bother with all the unnecessary stuff? Isn't it better to keep things simple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao nodded with a smile, \"You're right. I prefer being straightforward too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a few seconds, Chen Wenchao looked at Chen Fan and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"12 million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Baidu is willing to pay 12 million yuan to purchase Go Navigation Home from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're agreeable, we can sign the contract today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This price was more than double the previous offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were an ordinary person, they might have lost their composure upon hearing such a large sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Fan wasn't ordinary, he had his own minimum price in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, hao123 had no competitors and was unrivaled. It was eventually acquired by Baidu for 50 million yuan plus some original Baidu shares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this life, Chen Fan was determined not to let Go Navigation Home go for less than that price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too low!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan shook his head and said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao explained with a smile, \"Actually, this price is more than double our previous offer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Chen, I started with this price to show you our sincerity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We genuinely want to acquire Go Navigation Home, and I believe it can only reach its full potential in our hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've probably been contacted privately by other companies these days, but I doubt anyone has exceeded our offer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're right, your offer is the highest so far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm still not satisfied with this price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao's expression changed as he stared at Chen Fan for a moment before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you tell us your terms? Negotiation is about give and take, after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan casually played with the teacup on the table with one hand and slowly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My condition is simple. I require your acquisition price to be no less than 50 million yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao's expression changed dramatically, and he immediately sat up straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath to suppress his displeasure, Chen Wenchao stared at Chen Fan and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your price is absolutely outrageous. It's impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Chen, I'm beginning to doubt your sincerity in selling Go Navigation Home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled, \"You can rest assured. I will definitely sell Go Navigation Home, that's beyond question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you said earlier, negotiation is about give and take. I only have this one condition: the acquisition price must not be less than 50 million yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao suddenly felt frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Chen Fan, he suddenly felt like he had no leverage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had participated in many negotiations and encountered all kinds of seasoned professionals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had never met anyone like Chen Fan before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right from the start, he directly revealed his bottom line, and it wasn't negotiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, he only had this one condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they negotiate like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this how you do business?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, before coming here, the company headquarters had given him the authority to negotiate between 25 million and 30 million yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the company had internally valued Chen Fan's Go Navigation Home at around 30 to 40 million yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao had been full of confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally planned to test Chen Fan's mettle first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, if it were an ordinary person, they would have lost their rationality upon hearing over 10 million yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Chen Fan could resist, he could use negotiation techniques to add a few more million, and around 20 million should be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's what Chen Wenchao had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never expected this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was even bolder than he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened with 50 million yuan right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effectively blocking any path for negotiation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well...\" Chen Wenchao smiled bitterly, \"If we follow your demands... we can't continue this negotiation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan remained calm and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's fine. I'm not in a hurry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's end our talk here for today, and we can both go back and think it over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, this must be your first time in Yunhai, right? Yunhai has many interesting places and lots of special local snacks. If you're interested, I can show you around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao smiled wryly, \"Maybe next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, this negotiation ended abruptly after less than 10 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stood up and left the teahouse. Standing by the roadside, Chen Wenchao took out his car keys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being on a business trip to Yunhai, he naturally had a vehicle provided by the local office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Chen Wenchao's surprise, he saw Chen Fan standing by the road, seemingly waiting for a car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Chen, are you... waiting for your driver?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan shook his head with a smile, \"I don't own a car. I came by taxi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao looked at Chen Fan with some surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you headed? Why don't I give you a ride? But you'll have to guide me. I'm new to Yunhai and really unfamiliar with the roads.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to trouble yourself. You should attend to your own business. The taxi will be here soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao didn't insist further and got into his car to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Chen Fan standing by the road through the rearview mirror, Chen Wenchao suddenly had a hunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that this negotiation might not be as easy as he had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was thinking, his phone, placed beside him, rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked it up and saw it was from the headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello. It's me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I just met with him. This person...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Chen Wenchao could finish, he was suddenly interrupted by the voice on the other end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The company just received information about this Chen Fan. He's not simple. He's not the ordinary college student we initially thought he was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao was stunned, \"What's the situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll send the detailed information to your email, you can check it yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember. The headquarters has upgraded his negotiation level. This negotiation must succeed, failure is not an option.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wenchao nodded, feeling a bit confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan stood by the roadside, watching Chen Wenchao's car leave, when he suddenly remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he buy a car for himself?\u003C\u002Fp>",1452,"2026-06-05T15:06:58.894Z",1,"novelbin.me","9f20b9f79eed884ce8a5f7f791f795e0854336115a21a3d6ce49f2d428f45fc4","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-512","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-510",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
