Feng Yu had said what he wanted to say, and now it's the programmer's job.
Engineers in Europe do not have 996 hours. If you ask them to work overtime, the company will pay a high price. If you don't pay, the company will be fined.
The more serious bugs will be fixed in the next few days, and the smaller bugs will be fixed in the next version after Christmas Eve.
The elevator door opened, and Fang Tian walked in. Lin Keqing was also inside.
She looked at Feng Yu and said, "Team Leader, a company's CEO wants to meet you."
Fang Tian asked, "Who is it?"
"Yahoo's CEO, Mr. Hirschman."
Fang Tian quickly blinked his eyes. How did Yahoo find me? "Why is he looking for me?"
"I'm not sure."
The elevator door opened, and Lin Keqing brought Feng Yu to the meeting room.
When they entered, an American man in a white suit walked over and shook hands with them.
Fang Tian shook hands with him and smiled. "You are Yahoo's CEO, Hirschman?"
"Yes." Hirschman adjusted his glasses. "I am here because I have something important to discuss with you."
Fang Tian nodded slightly and then sat in front of a round glass table with him. The two of them sat opposite each other.
Lin Keqing asked the waiter to prepare two cups of coffee.
Hirschman smiled and looked at Feng Yu. "Soft cloud is the fastest growing internet company in the world. You guys have overtaken Google in such a short time."
Fang Tian smiled. "Mr. Hirschman, just tell me why you are here."
The waiter walked over and placed two cups of coffee in front of them. The strong smell of coffee lingered in the air.
Hirschman did not beat around the bush. "I want to buy your Angel Search!"
Fang Tian took a sip of coffee and almost spat it out!
Yahoo is indeed Yahoo. They are like a big tiger. They want to swallow Soft cloud's search engine.
Fang Tian asked casually. "How much is Yahoo willing to pay for Angel Search?"
Hirschman raised two fingers. "You will be surprised if I tell you. 2 billion USD!"
Fang Tian smiled. Not only is he surprised, but the price is also shocking. It was too little!
2 billion USD, according to the current exchange rate, was equivalent to 16 billion RMB. As long as he agreed, he could get 10 billion RMB.
It seemed like a huge number, but if it was sold to him, it would definitely be sold at a cheap price!
Angel Search was now the number one search engine in the country. It was at least comparable to Baidu.
Baidu's market value was close to 100 billion!
Now that it was expanding in Europe, it had become the number one search engine in Europe. Next, it would expand to other countries. Angel Search would become the Google of this world.
Google's market value was close to a trillion USD! Yes, trillions of US dollars!
You're underestimating Angel Search too much if you want to buy it for 2 billion.
Fang Tian shook his head. "No."
Hirschman raised three fingers. "Three billion USD!"
Fang Tian still shook his head.
"Four billion!"
Fang Tian still shook his head.
"Six billion!" Hirschman gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Looking at his expression, Fang Tian smiled faintly. "I don't want to make things difficult for you. Let's put it this way. Angel Search is not for sale. It's impossible to sell. "
Soft cloud search engines had a crucial strategic position. It could allow their applications to be promoted to the world more smoothly.
Without its drainage, it would be much more difficult to promote the application of soft cloud to the whole world.
I'm not selling it for any amount of money. Because I don't like money.
Unless you can come up with 1 trillion USD!
Hirschman felt a little regretful, but this was also within his expectations. If it were him, he would not sell it either.
Since he could not buy it, he could only choose to cooperate.
Hirschman took a sip of coffee and said, "Yahoo needs a powerful search engine. I hope Angel Search can provide search technology services for my website."
Fang Tian understood what he meant. Yahoo was the world's number one web portal. It had news, education, email, and many other media services.
The information on the website was too huge. It was troublesome for users to find information. In terms of search technology, Yahoo was lacking. They needed a good search engine company to help them improve their search technology.
Fang Tian asked, "Haven't you been working with Google?"
Hirschman said, "There are two reasons. The first is the price. The second is the technology. Angel Search's service fees are cheaper than Google's. In terms of technology, after our engineers' tests, Angel Search's technology is more powerful than Google's. So, it is best for Yahoo to cooperate with you. "
Fang Tian drank his coffee and thought for a long time.
Hirschman shook his coffee cup gently. "If you are not willing to provide us with search technology services, we will continue to choose Google."
Fang Tian immediately said, "We can cooperate, but I have a condition. If you agree, Soft cloud can provide you with search technology services for free."
No money? Hirschman was surprised.
In the following time, the two of them discussed for a long time.
Fang Tian's condition was not complicated. If users could not find the information they wanted on Yahoo's search results page, Yahoo would recommend them to click on Angel Search.
Hirschman thought for a long time. He felt that this was a win-win situation. Yahoo could use Angel Search for free and increase the website's advertising revenue.
Yahoo, in turn, could bring traffic to Angel Search.
In the end, he agreed!
The next step was to sign the contract. Soft cloud and Yahoo's cooperation will last for two years. The terms of the cooperation were as previously agreed. Yahoo can use Angel Search for free, and Yahoo will provide links to Angel Search on important websites.
Hirschman was satisfied, and Fang Tian was even more satisfied. He was overjoyed!
After signing the contract, the two shook hands, and Hirschman left with the contract.
Lin Keqing stood beside Hirschman and looked at the contract. She did not understand. "Why are we giving them search technology services for free? This will cost us at least 100 million USD in revenue."
Fang Tian leaned back in his chair. "What is Yahoo? The world's largest web portal. It is the number one website in the US, Europe, Australia, South America, Japan, and many other countries! Do you understand now? "
Lin Keqing's eyes lit up! "You are saying that we can use Yahoo's global influence to expand our search to the global market!"
"Yes!" Fang Tian's words were sonorous and forceful!
On the other hand, Soft cloud will provide Yahoo with search services for free. This will bring in huge advertising revenue for Yahoo. But this revenue is only temporary.
The decline of web portals is only a matter of time. Search engines are the future king.
If Soft cloud is compared to a rocket, then Yahoo is only the propellant of the rocket. After Soft cloud soars, Yahoo can get rid of the propellant.
Yes, it was just a propeller for the soft cloud to soar into the sky!
