Reborn Super Scholar System

"Mr. Tang, who are the two men who came to see you just now? One of them looks very familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it." Ning Xiao saw them coming back, and hurriedly greeted them and asked .

"Penguin's general manager Ma Teng and chief technology officer Zhang Qing." Tang Feng replied.

"No wonder it looks familiar! It turned out to be the boss of Penguin! I've seen him on TV before!" Ning Xiao exclaimed!

"Mr. Tang, if I'm not mistaken, they are here to discuss cooperation with you, right?" Yu Li asked.

"Yes." Tang Feng nodded and said, "The purpose of their trip is to acquire this chat software I developed."

"You promised him?" Ning Xiao suddenly became nervous.After all, this was the first company they were involved with.Although they have not yet become regular employees, they still have a sense of accomplishment.

"No." Tang Feng shook his head and said, "No matter what conditions the other party offers, I will not agree to it. As I said, I want Lifeng Network to become the greatest Internet company in the world! No one!"

"But if this is the case, won't there be fierce competition between us and Penguin?" Guan Qian asked.

"It's hard to say now. Ma Teng is going to go back and hold a general meeting of shareholders. If he can convince those shareholders, then Penguin will be acquired by our company, and Ma Teng and the others will also become partners of the company." Tang Feng replied.

"Did I hear you right? You mean our company bought Penguin?" Ning Xiao thought there was something wrong with her ears.

"No. Although our company has just started, I believe it will develop very well in the near future. Ma Teng must have used our chat software before making such a decision." Tang Feng said with a slight smile .

"Is it because they can't do the functions you added?" Yu Li guessed.

"That's for sure. If it can be copied successfully, they don't need to come from Pengcheng to see me." Tang Feng nodded.

"No wonder they came here in a hurry. Obviously, they saw the threat to them from the chat software." Ning Xiao said.

"Leave them alone for the time being. We will continue to increase our publicity! As long as we have more users, it means that we will have more leverage in negotiating with the other party," Tang Feng said.

Ning Xiao and the others nodded.

"By the way, didn't I go to see Professor Li Ping just now? She suggested that you consider wireless value-added services." Su Xiaoli changed the subject.

"What is the wireless value-added service?" Ning Xiao and the others were very curious.

"Wireless value-added services are related to mobile phones. Now many mobile phones can customize ring tones, and can also customize a lot of content, such as news, weather, etc. All of these need to be charged. If I remember correctly, a ring tones should be two yuan .” Tang Feng explained to everyone.

"Isn't it? Is a CRBT so expensive?" Yu Li was very surprised.Although she also has a mobile phone, she has not customized any ringtones.

"Two yuan is acceptable to many mobile phone users. After all, people who can afford a mobile phone don't care about spending a few extra yuan for a ringtone." Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

"Since this is the case, can chat software also enable this function? I think it should be able to make a lot of money." Su Xiaoli asked.

"No." Tang Feng shook his head and said, "The current number of users is still too small, so there is no need to rush to cash in. I still want to provide users with a better experience."

"But I think users should also need such services. Otherwise, they will go to other websites to buy these ringtones." Su Xiaoli said.

"Yes! I think what Xiaoli said makes sense! Since users need it, we should provide it! Only in this way, users will like our chat software more." Ning Xiao echoed.

"We'll talk about that later. Penguin should have already achieved a lot in this regard," Tang Feng said.

"If Penguin is really acquired by our company, what about the office location? Could it be possible to move all of them to Pengcheng?" Su Xiaoli asked.

"The company's headquarters must be in the capital. The R&D center must also be in the capital. It would be best if Ma Teng and the others come to work in the capital! If you don't want to come, I won't force you. We can then set up a branch in Pengcheng. The company, let them work there." Tang Feng replied.

"If they come to Beijing, the current office location will definitely not work. We need to find a new office location." Su Xiaoli suggested.

"We can temporarily rent an office building. Then we can buy a piece of land and build the office building ourselves." Tang Feng made an arrangement.

"Did I hear you right? Are you talking about building the building yourself? We don't have so much money." Su Xiaoli looked very surprised.

"We don't, but Penguin does. Although Penguin is not listed yet, its valuation is still very high. And Penguin has always been profitable. It's nothing to spend money to build an office building." Tang Feng Reply.

"Mr. Tang, I don't quite understand. Penguin is so rich, it's not at the same level as our Lifeng Network Company. Why is Ma Teng still willing to sell Penguin? No matter how you look at it, this is a loss-making business." Ning Xiao I feel very incomprehensible.

"Valuation issues. Although our company is only developing chat tools, Ma Teng and Zhang Qing are very aware of my technical strength. As long as I am willing, I can develop more software. That is to say, my technology It’s even higher than Penguin’s valuation. Do you understand if I explain it this way?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

Ning Xiao nodded and said, "I seem to understand a little bit."

"Money is a good thing. But money is not everything. If Penguin competes with our company, although our company will be at a disadvantage in the short term, in the long run, we will definitely outperform Penguin. By that time, Penguin will be ten In all likelihood, it will go bankrupt." Tang Feng seemed confident.

"Are you exaggerating what you said? Can't they coexist?" Yu Li's face was full of doubts.

"Coexistence is impossible." Tang Feng shook his head and said, "If you were a user, would you be willing to log in to two chat software every time you surf the Internet?"

"It seems that I don't want to. Unless there are very obvious differences between the two chat software. Otherwise, it will be too troublesome." Yu Li responded.

"So the end result is that only one chat software survives. If Ma Teng can convince those shareholders to sell Penguin to us, it is the most sensible choice." Tang Feng laughed.

"But what's the benefit of our company acquiring Penguin?" Guan Qian asked.

"The biggest advantage is having [-] million users directly. In addition, it also avoids competition with Penguin. Otherwise, even if we win in the end, we will have to pay a big price." Tang Feng replied.

"In that case, I still hope that Ma Teng can convince those shareholders." Ning Xiao said.

"No matter what, we will proceed according to the previous plan. We will talk about it when Ma Teng contacts me." Tang Feng said.

Everyone nodded.

Tang Feng checked the time, and it was already lunch time.

He directly asked Su Xiaoli to call the restaurant and ask the other party to deliver the dishes.

Soon, the dishes will be delivered.

Tang Feng had a meal with everyone.

At this time, Ma Teng and Zhang Qing had already boarded the flight back to Pengcheng.

"President Ma, are you really going to convince those shareholders to accept the proposal to sell Penguin?" Zhang Qing asked.

"Yes." Ma Teng nodded, and said, "Tang Feng is not generally strong in software development. The chat software is only the first one he launched, and there must be others in the future. If we can become His partner, then he will definitely get a lot of credit." Ma Teng looked at the other party and replied with a smile on his face.

"But those shareholders may not agree. After all, Penguin's current

Profitability is very good.What are you going to do if they don't agree? "Zhang Qing continued to ask.

"I believe they will definitely agree. If they don't agree, I will sell all the shares I hold! Then I will take the money and go to Tang Feng to buy shares." Ma Teng quickly made a decision.

"Take me with you when the time comes." Zhang Qing volunteered.

"Don't worry! You will definitely be indispensable! When the entire founding team leaves, Penguin's valuation will definitely shrink significantly." Ma Teng agreed.

"I really didn't expect Tang Feng to be young, and his computer skills have already reached the peak level. Compared with him, my level is nothing to mention!" Zhang Qing couldn't help but sighed when he said this. .

"He is really a genius! And he is an all-round genius! No matter what, I must work with him. I believe that under his leadership, Lifeng Network Company will become the world's top Internet company." Ma When Teng said these words, his eyes were full of admiration.

"No! Mr. Ma, why do I feel that he has become your idol!" Zhang Qing seemed quite surprised.

"Because he is really powerful! If you stay by his side, I believe your technical level will improve rapidly." Ma Teng laughed.

"That's for sure. If my technical level can reach half of his, I will be satisfied." Zhang Qing responded.

"During the communication just now, I think he answered the technical questions you raised very easily. At first, I suspected that the chat software was not developed by him, but he was just using it as a name. Now it seems that I was wrong. Ma Teng sighed.

"His technology is no problem at all. Moreover, the way he explains is very simple, even people who don't understand technology can understand it. If we can really become his partners, then I must give him a good word Study." Zhang Qing said.

"When we go back, you and I will persuade those shareholders." Ma Teng said.

"En." Zhang Qing nodded.

Soon, they returned to Pengcheng.

Before getting on the plane, Ma Teng had asked his assistant to call the company's shareholders.

Therefore, when he came to the meeting room, the shareholders were already waiting here.

Penguin does not have many shareholders.

There are only five.

Basically, they are venture capital funds at home and abroad.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I called everyone here for a meeting in a hurry." Ma Teng said apologetically.

"Mr. Ma, you called all of us here, do you have any important matters to discuss?" Shen Peng, a senior partner of Lanshan Fund, asked.

"I think everyone has heard of this chat software, right?" Ma Teng looked around the crowd.

"Yes." Yan Liang, partner of SEG Fund, nodded.

"It is said that this chat software was developed by the mathematics genius of Beijing University. He also participated in the World Men's Basketball Championship and led the Hua Guo team to win the championship! When he won the championship, he announced this chat software he developed to the reporters. As a result, as soon as the interview content was released, the downloads of the chat software reached 500 million in just three hours! This number is really amazing!" When Shen Peng said this, the expression on his face became obviously serious.

"Mr. Ma, you called us all over, do you want to discuss a countermeasure?" Yan Liang guessed.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhang and I have just returned from the capital. We have already met Tang Feng." Ma Teng said truthfully.

When everyone heard the words, they immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

"President Ma, why are you going to see him?" Shen Peng asked.

"I originally wanted to acquire the chat software he developed. Then let him join Penguin, and I would give him some shares, but he directly rejected it." Ma Teng replied.

"Now that the download volume of this chat software is so high, he will definitely not agree. Moreover, I have already used this chat software, it has many functions, and the user experience

very good.If I had to choose between two chat software, I would definitely choose chat software. " Yan Liang said.

"The key is that we have no way to copy these functions to our own chat software." When Ma Teng said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Why can't it be replicated? Aren't the technologies all interlinked? If it doesn't work, we can recruit more technicians, and then work together to tackle key problems! I don't believe it can't be done!" Shen Peng said unconvinced.

"Mr. Shen, our technical department has studied it carefully, and we have not mastered the programming technology used in some functions. Simply recruiting technical personnel cannot solve this problem." Zhang Qing took the initiative to stand up and explain.

"Isn't it? Did I hear you right? There's still something you haven't grasped?" Shen Peng looked surprised.

"We really don't have a grasp of it." Zhang Qing said with some embarrassment.

After all, he is also the chief technology officer of Penguin Company, a top student who graduated from the computer department of Pengcheng University, and has been working for many years, who knows that he is not even as good as a freshman.

"So, isn't Penguin facing a big crisis?" Everyone became nervous.

After all, the current Penguin company still has a very good income.If nothing else, it will be available next year!

"Yes." Ma Teng nodded and said, "If we can't think of a good way, then a large number of users will be lost in a short period of time. And as time goes on, it will become more and more difficult for us. The more unfavorable it is."

"In that case, what are you going to do?" Shen Peng asked seriously.

"I called everyone here just to discuss with you. See if Penguin can be sold to Lifeng Network Company founded by Tang Feng." Ma Teng replied.

As soon as his words fell, these shareholders suddenly exploded.

"Mr. Ma! Did I hear you right! You mean selling Penguin to the other party?" Yan Liang thought there was something wrong with his ears.

"You heard me right. What I'm talking about is selling Penguin to the other party." Ma Teng responded without changing his face.

"Reason! Give us a reason!" Shen Peng seemed a little excited.

"The reason is that the other party is too powerful! If we don't sell the company to the other party, the company will face bankruptcy in a short time." Ma Teng said.

"Everyone, don't get excited! Mr. Ma is telling the truth! I have the same opinion as him! And it is foreseeable that the other party's chat software will definitely add more functions! By then, our chat software will be completely complete. Lose competitiveness. The money you invest will most likely go to waste.” Zhang Qing continued.

"Mr. Zhang, isn't what you said a little serious? Could it be that we spend a lot of money to recruit more technical talents from abroad, can't we compare to a Tang Feng?" Yan Liang really couldn't believe it.

"Mr. Yan, the moon in foreign countries is not as round as that of Hua Guo. Although from the overall level, Hua Guo is not as good as Pretty Country. But only Tang Feng is alone. I really can't think of anyone in Pretty Country who can be compared with him. " Zhang Qing said with a serious face.

"Mr. Zhang, are you exaggerating? Beautiful Country is still very powerful in terms of Internet technology! Many of our models are also copied from the other party!" Shen Peng is also a little bit unconvinced.

"Mr. Shen, you and Mr. Yan have both returned from studying abroad. I believe that you will have many friends with beautiful pots. You can call these friends and ask them to try this chat software developed by Tang Feng. .When the time comes, you will know if what I said is exaggerated." Zhang Qing said lightly.

Facing this group of people who don't understand technology, it is really difficult for him to describe Tang Feng's strength.After all, no matter what he said, the other party was always unwilling to believe it.

Of course, he also understands the mood of these shareholders.

After all, Penguin is developing very well now, and it is very likely to go public!At that time, these shareholders can choose to cash out!

It's a pity that Tang Feng's appearance disrupted their plans

!

Even let their wealth disappear in a short period of time.

This makes it really difficult for them to accept such a reality.

"Mr. Ma, according to the current valuation of Penguin Company, it is about [-] million. I want to know how much valuation you are going to give to Lifeng Network Company founded by Tang Feng." Yan Liangrao asked with interest.

"We haven't made a specific valuation for this. To be precise, this valuation depends on us shareholders. If everyone thinks that Lifeng Network's valuation is one billion, then it is one billion." Ma Teng replied.

"One billion is definitely impossible! Penguin has worked hard for so many years, and its valuation is only [-] million! Moreover, Penguin's cash flow is very good now, and its monthly income is tens of millions! Li The peak network company has just been established, and it can have a valuation of tens of millions, which is quite good!" Yan Liang gave his opinion without hesitation.

"Mr. Yan, that's not what you said. You are an investor. If you are allowed to invest in Lifeng Network Company now, how much will your valuation be?" Ma Teng's expression was a little displeased.

"It's hard to say. I need to do some on-site inspections before I can give an estimate." Yan Liang replied.

"Let me tell you this. If Lifeng Network Company wants to get investment now, it is a breeze. And I can also clearly say that a lot of foreign capital will flock in. As you said, beautiful China's computer level is much better than ours! I hope you will not regret it when these foreign capitals invest in Tang Feng's Lifeng Network Company." Ma Teng's words were full of dissatisfaction with these shareholders.

"President Ma, don't get excited! Do you think this is okay? You give us a day, we go back and think about it. In addition, you also know that our investment company also has shareholders, and we cannot make decisions casually." Shen Peng Seeing this, he hurried out to smooth things over.

"Yes!" Ma Teng nodded and said, "If you can't give an answer within 24 hours, then I will make a decision."

"Decision? What decision?" Yan Liang didn't react for a moment.

"I will sell my Penguin shares with the company's management," Maten replied.

"Mr. Ma, if you say that, it's meaningless. Penguin was founded by you and your team. If you leave, it will definitely have a huge impact on Penguin. At that time, Needless to say, whether Penguin can go public smoothly, or whether it can continue to maintain the status quo is still unknown." Yan Liang's expression also became a little ugly.

"I have no choice. Because I know very well in my heart that even if my team and I stay, it will be of no use to the future of Penguin. The chat software developed by Tang Feng will quickly occupy the market. It may not take long. Penguin would go from profitable to unprofitable," Maarten sighed.

Penguin was founded by him, so he naturally didn't want to sell it.But as the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and they can only choose to join when they are unable to fight.

Only in this way can he continue his dream.

"Mr. Ma, let's go back to the meeting to discuss it now. We will give you an answer in less than 24 hours." Yan Liang left here as soon as he finished speaking.

The remaining shareholders also left one after another.

Suddenly, only Ma Teng and Zhang Qing were left in the conference room.

"What do you think the result of their discussion will be?" Zhang Qing asked.

"I believe they will make a wise choice. Capital is profit-seeking, and they will definitely understand that the decision I made is correct. Of course, it is also possible that they will sell their shares to cash out after the sale of Penguin." Ma Teng smiled slightly and said.

"I hope they can cash out their shares. After all, once Penguin is sold, the shares they hold will be greatly diluted, and it doesn't make much sense if they continue to hold them," Zhang Qing said.

"Okay! Don't worry about it! Let's hurry up and have a meeting here! If Shen Peng and the others don't agree to sell Penguin

, we took the team to the capital. "Ma Teng said.

"Good!" Zhang Qing nodded.

On Tang Feng's side, after lunch, Tang Feng communicated with the technical department staff.

He posed several technical problems to these colleagues and asked them to find a way to overcome them.

After all, such a big company, and with the discovery, the technical staff will definitely become more and more.

More and more projects will be developed.

It is impossible for him to make all the projects.

Still have to rely on the strength of the team.

In this case, it can also indirectly improve the computer level of the entire Huaguo.

Technicians acted immediately.

"What are you talking about?" Tang Feng came out of the technical department and saw Su Xiaoli, Ning Xiao and others chatting in full swing.

"We are here to discuss how to promote the chat software to more users." Su Xiaoli replied.

"The best way is to let all Internet cafes download our chat software. However, there is no rush to do so right now. I will make a decision after Ma Teng contacts me." Tang Feng laughed.

"If Ma Teng can really convince shareholders to sell Penguin, what about the customers we have now? Wouldn't they all be abandoned overnight?" Su Xiaoli asked.

"The two chat software can communicate with each other. In this case, whether you use it or use it, it will be our users in the end." Tang Feng replied.

"But in the end, there can only be one left." Su Xiaoli said.

"Yes." Tang Feng nodded and said, "In the end, only the chat software is left. We can update it in the background without affecting the user experience."

"It seems that technology is still king. Penguin has [-] million users, and they can only bow their heads in the end." Ning Xiao sighed.

"Technology and market are both very important. It's just that the chat software I'm developing now has added a lot of new functions. And these functions are very easy to use. That's why it attracts a large number of users to download and use. How should I put it? I stood on the shoulders of Penguin and made this better chat software." Tang Feng laughed.

"Next, if Ma Teng persuades the shareholders to sell Penguin, will we still have to negotiate with the other party?" Su Xiaoli asked.

"That's right!" Tang Feng nodded and said, "Negotiations will definitely involve a lot of details. You will also be involved when the time comes."

"Me? I'm afraid not! I've never negotiated with anyone!" Su Xiaoli shook her head subconsciously.

"I haven't negotiated with others before! There is a first time for everything! Besides, as the deputy general manager of the company, you must participate!" Tang Feng laughed.

"That's right! Xiaoli, I think Tang Feng is right! You are the deputy general manager of the company now, and you will be the president of the group in the future. You must gradually adapt to the life of negotiating with others." Ning Xiao said beside him.

"In that case, I will join you! If there is something wrong with me, you must point it out in time." Su Xiaoli agreed.

"Don't worry! Everything is up to me!" Tang Feng seemed confident.

Although he has never negotiated with others, he is very clear in his heart that the current initiative is in his hands.

At that time, as long as the conditions he puts forward are not too excessive, the other party will definitely agree.

"By the way, the money for the calligraphy and painting that you entrusted others to auction before has been remitted to the company's account. The total is 450 million." Su Xiaoli changed the subject.

"Did I hear you right? You said more than 7000 million?" Tang Feng looked very surprised.

"Yes." Su Xiaoli nodded, and said, "The main reason is that you were not very famous in the calligraphy and painting industry before, so the price is a little lower. When you become famous, the price will definitely rise."

"It seems that if I have time, I need to create a few more calligraphy and paintings! All the money I earn will be invested in the company. After all,

If the company wants to develop, it will definitely need a lot of funds. "Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

"Isn't the current Penguin company very profitable? After the acquisition, the company will definitely have a lot of cash on its books! I think there must be no problem in maintaining the company's operations and development." Su Xiaoli said.

"The little money Penguin earns is not enough at all. After all, I plan to develop more software. Among other things, the server's expenditure alone is estimated to be an astronomical figure." Tang Feng couldn't bear it when he said this. Live shook his head.

"Brother Feng, I think you should stop developing other software for the time being and focus on the chat software. Otherwise, your energy will be too scattered, I don't think it's a good thing." Su Xiaoli advised the other party.

"It's okay." Tang Feng shook his head and said, "The Internet age has come, and I have to race against time. In addition to chat software, I also need to develop other software."

"Other software? For example?" Su Xiaoli suddenly became interested.

"A lot. For example, anti-virus software and shopping software." Tang Feng replied.

"Don't you already have these? There are many types of anti-virus software, and there are also many shopping websites." Su Xiaoli looked a little surprised.

"The software I developed has more functions and a better user experience. The most important thing is that it is free." Tang Feng responded.

"Isn't it? If everything is free, how can the company survive?" Ning Xiao and the others obviously couldn't understand.

"Many Internet companies rely on financing. But I don't want to raise too much, or the equity dilution will be very severe. I still want to rely on my own ability to earn more money and invest in the company." Tang Feng said his thoughts come out.

"That's true." Ning Xiao nodded and said, "However, the matter of free is indeed quite novel."

"Free is the most expensive. But for the vast majority of people, it must be good. If there is a fee, many users will definitely not be willing to spend money to use it." Tang Feng laughed.

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
