Chapter 60: 059 Selling Body (10,000 words seeking monthly tickets)

Zhen'ai Net gave an honest price.

This is good news.

At the very least, it can really be used to raise the price with Century Jiayuan and Baihe Net.

Regardless of what considerations Zhen'ai Net has, and what attempts it has offline, the situations of the other two companies are roughly the same. After all, there isn't much difference between the three of them.

This time, Zhen'ai Net could give a price of 1 million, which really made Yu Xing breathe a big sigh of relief.

Before that call from Wei Jialan about investing and buying shares, she only talked about changing the cooperation method without talking about the price. Yu Xing felt she was still calculating on the basis of the original valuation, but now...

Should not have to consider selling at a cabbage price.

Smash in hand/cabbage price/psychological price/sucker price.

Yu Xing quoted 5 million to Zhen'ai Net, which was naturally expecting to get a higher price in a way of asking for a sky-high price.

In fact, his psychological price for the company is around 2 million. Although Gui'ai Net can indeed achieve 1 million in revenue, it is actually doing business in an overdraft way, and many problems are indeed the same as what Wei Jialan said.

Therefore, as time gets closer to the financial crisis, Yu Xing is considering trying his best to sell the company by borrowing the Internet Conference on September 23rd. By then, regardless of whether it can meet the psychological expectations, he won't continue to wait.

Starting at 1 million, the highest bidder gets it, and it's safe to put it in the pocket.

Yu Xing didn't immediately notify Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying of Zhen'ai Net's latest situation. He planned to wait until Cui Jingwei finished talking with Century Jiayuan before saying anything. If this company in the same city could give a price, then the starting price would be based on this price.

The work during the day was still busy. Regardless of full-time or part-time, Gui'ai Net's vitality was indeed revitalized again.

However, the performance from the end of August to September 5th, although it broke away from the low point, still couldn't be compared with the graduation season in June and July.

The product conversion rate during the graduation season was around 10%. Now the conversion rate of the school opening season was only 3%. The difference was not small, and this situation was easily understood.

Talking about marriage with college students who are in school, such a topic is ultimately too far away. The keywords in their love are play, relaxation, happiness, and freedom, rather than more realistic things.

Yu Xing was sitting at the table in the apartment that night making a PPT. The content was Gui'ai Net's business expansion plan, intending to expand from the current five cities to ten cities within the next three months.

He was smooth for a while and distressed for a while.

Because, like campus data, it was all real and could be written in detail about team scale, conversion rate, and work details, while the pioneering data of social groups needed to be carefully compiled. But this kind of fabrication also needed to conform to the data mixed with sand in hand.

Yu Xing smoked one after another, his brain turning fast, hoping that such a PPT could further amplify the company's value in the eyes of buyers.

At 9:40, the phone screen on the table lit up.

Yu Xing flicked the cigarette ash and saw it was Liu Wan Ying, who hadn't been in touch for the past few days.

"Hello, Sister Ying?" Yu Xing put down the cigarette and took a sip of water.

Liu Wan Ying greeted: "General Manager Yu, haven't run away yet?"

Yu Xing couldn't help laughing: "Not only haven't run away, but it's almost harvest time."

Liu Wan Ying was a bit surprised: "So fast?"

"That's for sure. Someone even carried a bag of money and pushed it onto my desk today. Good fellow, stacks of money, red and bright, looking at it makes my heart itch," Yu Xing described the scene. "Although there was no sound, I really seemed to hear the sound of money 'crashing'."

Liu Wan Ying didn't quite understand the appearance of such a scene.

"Poor ambition is short, seeing money makes eyes open. I guess the one who smashed me with money today thinks so," Yu Xing laughed. "A full 1 million."

Liu Wan Ying understood.

Seeing that Sister Ying didn't have any serious business, Yu Xing introduced the situation of the past few days along this topic.

August low point, all kinds of difficulties, September vitality, part-time work brought all kinds of expected and unexpected problems.

Yu Xing didn't have a tongue that could bloom with lotus flowers; he just chatted about the situations that surprised or helpless him, but these things from the front line made Liu Wan Ying listen with relish.

"Fine, General Manager Yu, once you sell the company, and then take your 'controlling people with people' and 'treating people with sincerity,' by then, isn't it that the sea is wide for fish to leap?" Liu Wan Ying laughed.

Yu Xing thought for a while and said: "It's estimated that I still have to do another business that can make money. We plan to do internet things."

Liu Wan Ying caught the meaning and was stunned for two seconds: "Gui'ai Net sold is not enough for you to lose money, right? How much exactly did you lose? Your entrepreneurship is really dancing in shackles..."

Yu Xing didn't answer this question but asked: "Then what about you? You aren't planning to buy a luxury house in Xiangjiang, is your money enough? If not, isn't it also quite shackled?"

Liu Wan Ying didn't answer either and laughed: "Fine, no wonder you can jump. Your mindset is fine first."

"Sister Ying, have you considered starting a business?" Yu Xing closed the notebook, got up and walked out, saying while walking, "Although the salary of your work must be very high, have you considered making money faster?"

"What is making money for?" Liu Wan Ying laughed. "I plan to save enough money to retire early, then look at the world and enjoy life. My current work is gradually approaching my hypothesis step by step."

Yu Xing was surprised: "Not buying a luxury house in Xiangjiang anymore?"

"Just kidding. Houses in Xiangjiang are too expensive. Spending the money earned with hard work in this aspect often makes me feel it's not worth it," Liu Wan Ying said. "But real estate probably still has a range of increases. We'll see. Anyway, I am extremely yearning for the freedom outside of work at this moment. You probably won't understand this feeling."

Yu Xing said earnestly: "I understand."

Liu Wan Ying seemed to see Yu General Manager's earnest expression across the phone. She was quiet for a while and laughed: "You have money now, invite me to dinner when you have time."

Yu Xing agreed fully: "Fine, no problem. Although there is still debt, making money is for spending. Sister Ying helped me so much; don't say dinner, even a Manchu-Han Feast is no problem."

"Manchu-Han Feast is too extravagant," Liu Wan Ying said with a smile. "Just invite me to eat something like lobster when you have time recently."

Yu Xing laughed: "Good. Once we spread the business to Yunnan, I will run there personally to invite Sister Ying to eat."

"I am looking at the Oriental Pearl outside the window now," Liu Wan Ying laughed loudly. "Just missing a big lobster."

Yu Xing was surprised: "Sister Ying, how did you get to Shanghai?"

"Work routine. This city ends and then fly to the next city," Liu Wan Ying looked at the night view outside the hotel. "Unless it's a boss like you, otherwise, employees aren't all tools. Where there is a task, there is a tool used."

She sighed again: "Employees are tools, projects are tools, and companies are tools. Aren't founders like you just anxious to cash out the tools."

Yu Xing looked at the time; it was already ten o'clock. He replied: "I hope the value of my tools can be higher, so as not to live up to the partners who create value together in the company."

He tentatively asked: "Lobster is no problem. Sister Ying wants to eat; I will set off now. You might be able to eat at your hotel."

"Too late. Wait until you have time," Liu Wan Ying took a sip of water. "See if you have time on the weekend."

"This tool theory of Sister Ying, um, we also have a similar one next," Yu Xing gave up the impulse to walk back quickly to get his ID card for backup. "Sister Ying, really, if you have time on the weekend, look at whether our project has a future and whether it is worth your investment."

Liu Wan Ying sneered: "I just want to eat a lobster of yours, but you want to dig investment money from my pocket. Are you too ruthless?"

"Let's chat when we meet, Sister Ying, give me a chance," Yu Xing became active in his heart. "Gui'ai Net can at least prove some of our team's combat effectiveness."

Liu Wan Ying thought for a while. This word is not false; this rough team still made results.

Moreover, she almost witnessed their development.

"Sister Ying, just like you said, we plan to make two tools in the internet industry," Yu Xing said firmly. "Even the legal person has been found."

Liu Wan Ying thought of Gui'ai Net's situation and was amused: "Is it your junior disciple again?"

"No, this time it's a different person. Sister Ying, that's it, let's meet on the night of the 8th," Yu Xing tried to determine the time.

Liu Wan Ying thought for a while and agreed.

At the end of the phone call, Yu Xing politely said: "Sister Ying is in Shanghai, you can't see the cat in your friend's house. They look really cute."

Liu Wan Ying: "..."

After a few seconds, she said angrily: "Cute, cute, cats are naturally cute!"

Yu Xing let out an "um": "Black cat and white cat, I still prefer white cat."

Liu Wan Ying gritted her teeth: "Why?"

Yu Xing was stunned. What reason can there be for liking? Does liking need a reason?

He held back for a moment, seeing that Sister Ying had no sound and was still waiting for his answer, so he had to say: "Because white cat is white, I just like white."

Liu Wan Ying had a feeling of being teased inexplicably. It's just that she noticed the difference in the photos.

She used the last sentence to end the phone call: "You can really talk nonsense."

Yu Xing didn't have time to say goodbye before hearing the busy tone.

He stuffed his phone into his pocket somewhat blankly.

Could it be that Sister Ying prefers black cat?

Even if that's the case, you have your preference, and you can't interfere with my preference.

Yu Xing couldn't figure it out and could only temporarily attribute this to the little emotions of the elite.

Flying around for work, it will probably be tiring too.

Yu Xing threw the white cat behind his head, strolled along the river alone, and his thoughts returned to business.

Late at night, it is indeed easy to feel emotional.

Since Gui'ai Net was established in June, including himself, they have shed a lot of sweat and paid a lot of effort. Selling it like this is really...

Yu Xing just thought about it and smiled.

It's really happy to think about it.

The next day, happier things came.

Gui'ai Net Operations Vice Director Cui Jingwei called the friendly company Century Jiayuan in the same city and successfully met the executive on the opposite side in the afternoon, and accurately expressed the theme requested by the boss.

Zhen'ai Net, 1 million, can be signed at any time.

Century Jiayuan didn't mess around and only had a small discussion to raise the price, willing to give a price of 1.2 million for the growing Gui'ai Net.

However, Cui Jingwei also brought back Century Jiayuan's unexpected conditions.

This price of 1.2 million included requirements for the founding team. People like Yu Xing, Zhong Zhiling, Lu Haiying, etc., must all enter Century Jiayuan, and continue to be responsible for the pioneering of Gui'ai Net's business.

Of course, Century Jiayuan will also equip this business with management and manpower.

Yu Xing was a bit surprised by the new conditions he heard: "This is taking both the company and the people. You didn't bargain? Selling art and selling body, shouldn't it be two prices? If you want people, how can you add more to the price of 1.2 million?"

He suddenly thought of a certain contract in the sports world, a signing fee.

"Uh, General Manager Yu, they said it like this: if you don't pack and enter Century Jiayuan together, if you take the money and turn around to open a company with the same business, this acquisition will be a waste of effort," Cui Jingwei said earnestly. "I bargained, but didn't bargain it down."

Yu Xing's fingers tapped on the desktop: "Can a non-compete agreement be signed during acquisition? People don't have to join Century Jiayuan, right? Oh, Cui Jingwei, you can go. Isn't your family saying Gui'ai Net is unreliable? Century Jiayuan should be fine."

Cui Jingwei nodded silently. Century Jiayuan, indeed, has more persuasiveness to his family.

Yu Xing thought for a while and checked, but to ensure there was no problem, he planned to consult a professional lawyer.

He signaled Cui Jingwei to go back first: "Fine, Cui Jingwei, this matter is hard work, you just hang in there until the end of the month."

Cui Jingwei walked two steps and couldn't help but ask: "General Manager Yu, is the company really going to be sold?"

"The competitive situation facing the company is different. Several companies have aimed at our business. If we can persist, I am willing," Yu Xing shrugged. "But I thought about it seriously, I still have to be responsible for everyone. Many people were recruited from Jin Ling. We are all just stepping into society and have no experience. Like last month, some markets were very sluggish, but there were also markets that performed very well."

"What I think is, if there are senior companies in the industry like Century Jiayuan and Zhen'ai Net to lead us, the business will definitely be able to develop better."

Yu Xing explained the motivation and also revealed the company's situation last month.

Cui Jingwei knew the general situation of the Shanghai market, but he didn't know the performance of other cities.

Company acquisition will inevitably involve market and performance. However, the three cities of Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou are all done by their own people. The Beijing and Guangzhou of this month will go again, trying to make the data passable.

Cui Jingwei nodded and accepted this statement.

He hesitated: "General Manager Yu, if the company is sold, do you think I should continue at Century Jiayuan?"

Yu Xing threw a cigarette to this team leader who followed from Jin Ling and said patiently: "Cui Jingwei, if it is really acquired, you enter another company as an Operations Vice Director. Regardless, you hang in there at the new company. This resume will be relatively competitive when you go out."

He laughed again: "Of course, everything is relative. Things on paper are icing on the cake. You have to learn and practice more yourself; ability is your own."

Cui Jingwei looked at the boss and said sincerely: "General Manager Yu, thank you."

"Thank you for selling you?" Yu Xing laughed.

"Um..." Cui Jingwei said, "Just thank General Manager Yu for teaching me a lot."

Yu Xing smiled at him, waved his hand, and continued to ponder the conditions from Century Jiayuan.

He thought for a while and sent this matter to Liu Wan Ying via text message, asking for this person's opinion first.

About half an hour later, Liu Wan Ying replied: Common things. Non-compete agreements can be used to protect the acquirer. Otherwise, like you said, if you turn around and establish a company with the same business, the acquisition effect will be greatly reduced.

She replied with the second message: It doesn't have to be that you stay in the company. Generally, the time of the agreement can be negotiated, up to two years. During this time, you cannot engage in business that competes with them.

Yu Xing looked at Sister Ying's text message and asked after pondering for a long time: If I slander them? Will the contract stipulate this?

Liu Wan Ying replied quickly this time:...

Yu Xing noticed that his wording was inappropriate and explained: Not slander, for example, if I talk about some negative situations in the industry in public or in front of the media, will the contract require this?

Liu Wan Ying replied after slightly deliberating: Generally not. Your situation applies to public security management or anti-unfair competition. Don't worry.

Yu Xing felt quite relieved.

He pondered for a long time this night and suddenly thought of the plan when preparing to rob the rich to help the poor: grasp the initiative, try to create fluctuations by yourself.

If the buyer insists on binding himself into the company...

That's fine.

Inside story, inside story—don't you have to be inside to know it?

Entering the game with one's body is not impossible.

Yu Xing puts selling the company in the first place, and other conditions under this can be discussed.

September 7th, only one week left until the financial crisis.

Yu Xing looked at the date when he woke up in the morning, and his heart sank. According to the date, he still had to go back to his hometown and appease a group of relatives, so that everyone's emotions wouldn't be too excited.

It's just that the money from selling the company can't just be given to everyone. In the final analysis, financial management matters are decided, signed, and transferred by each family.

At this stage, a portion of the money in hand can only be said to be used for emergency, and another portion of the money needs to be re-created for wealth.

Yu Xing arrived at the office with a calm heart. Just after arranging work, he planned to call Zhong Zhiling when he saw Song Yufeng's face appear in front of him.

"General Manager Yu, this website thing is not that easy!" Song Yufeng complained as soon as they met.

Yu Xing let out an "oh": "Is that so? It turns out making money is not easy."

He hadn't seen Song Yufeng for the past few days, and there was no contact by phone or text message. He guessed that this person was excitedly trying it, and also had the idea of doing it himself.

"Yes, making money is not easy..." Song Yufeng laughed dryly. "So, unity is strength."

Seeing that General Manager Yu didn't pick up, he said earnestly: "I have already realized."

Yu Xing glanced sideways: "What did you realize?"

"Dare to be a paparazzi, can be a paparazzi, will be a paparazzi!" Song Yufeng said with reason.

Yu Xing frowned, feeling he was a bit crazy, and said: "Century Jiayuan is willing to acquire Gui'ai Net, but requires me to join them."

Song Yufeng was shocked. If General Manager Yu joined Century Jiayuan, would he still be willing to bombard this industry for "those matters"?

He immediately advised: "General Manager Yu, you are an outsider; can they treat you sincerely? You... don't join them."

"I was thinking about this last night. If I go to these companies, I might be able to know the industry situation more clearly," Yu Xing considered.

Song Yufeng was happy. General Manager Yu really didn't forget his original intention!

He nodded solemnly: "General Manager Yu, it makes sense. You should join. This is called deep behind enemy lines."

Yu Xing sighed and advised: "Brother Feng, you are going to be a paparazzi, not a dog. Pay attention to character."

Song Yufeng chuckled. He didn't want to be an ordinary paparazzi; he wanted to be a big workplace paparazzi! ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
