Rebirth of an Entrepreneurial Life

Chapter 187 Meeting with Mr. Song

In this regard, Chen Ping is not too impatient.

Although Guangyu Technology Co., Ltd. wants to develop its own chat software, this is not something that can be facilitated overnight, and Chen Ping did not push it too much.

On the contrary, it is Baidu's side, which needs to be implemented as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once Baidu has passed the decision to go public, the shares in the hands of these shareholders will be even more difficult to buy.

After contacting several Baidu executives, Zhao Zheng had no choice but to contact Chen Ping.

Zhao Zheng also collected a lot of information about the situation of these senior executives of Baidu, and handed them all to Chen Ping.

However, in Zhao Zheng's view, it is not so easy to acquire the original shares in the hands of these shareholders, and it is bound to pay a higher price.

For this matter, Chen Ping is also a little distressed.

The acquisition of Baidu's original shares is not as simple as one might imagine.

Since these top executives of Baidu can own original shares, it means that they are also one of the top executives of Baidu.

After all, such people have certain abilities, at least their vision is not bad.

Naturally, they can see that Baidu's development prospects are extremely good, so the stocks in their hands will not be sold easily.

To buy these stocks, you have to find the right breakthrough.

After Chen Ping got the information sent by Zhao Zheng, he studied frantically for several days, and finally got a certain look.

However, in order to get in touch with the target candidates in Chen Ping's mind, Zhao Zheng is still needed as an intermediary.

It's just a meeting, which is not too difficult for Zhao Zheng.

As the vice president of the headhunting company, although his identity and status are far inferior to those of the top executives of these Baidu companies, he is extremely well-connected, and it is easy to get in touch with him.

However, Chen Ping also paid a lot of price for this. Chen Ping paid Zhao Zheng 2 million for just collecting information and contacting the other party.

At the end of December, when the New Year's Day was approaching, it was also the time that Chen Ping and the other party agreed.

For this meeting, Chen Ping was also extremely well-prepared. In the past few days, he spent almost no sleep studying the other party's information, trying to improve the success rate a little bit.

The meeting place was at the other party's home, but although this Baidu executive no longer manages Baidu's internal affairs, but returned to live in his hometown, he was not in Dongjiang Province, but in another one next door. province.

Chen Ping hurried to the city where the other party lived. Fortunately, Zhao Zheng led Chen Ping to find the other party's address.

After coming to the other party's house, Chen Ping also sighed inwardly.

These successful people are all very similar in this respect. Although this senior executive of Baidu is close to the age of retirement, he has a lot of assets. Just for this luxurious villa, it is roughly estimated that at least a few Millions.

Chen Ping and Zhao Zheng stood outside each other's villa, and after ringing the doorbell, it took a few minutes before the nanny of the villa hurried out.

Zhao Zheng handed over his business card with a smile on his face, and said with a soft smile, "Let's come to Mr. Song, this is my business card, and I have contacted Mr. Song before."

The nanny took Zhao Zheng's business card and looked at it carefully, then nodded lightly, and said calmly, "Mr. Zhao, right? Mr. Song is already waiting for you, please come with me."

Zhao Zheng glanced at Chen Ping beside him, but Chen Ping didn't say a word, and followed Zhao Zheng directly into the villa.

The decoration in the villa is indeed very luxurious. Chen Ping looked around, but he could see that Mr. Song does not seem to be a person who can care for the elderly. He still has some ambitions in his heart, even if he is old. Yes, but I am not willing to stay at home all the time.

After confirming his thoughts, Chen Ping also smiled slightly,

Sure enough, the results of Chen Ping's previous research are the same.

This Mr. Song is not a simple person. Although he has been crowded out of Baidu's decision-making level by Baidu's executives, he is not a man of his own accord.

In this way, the success rate of this negotiation has been improved by a few points.

After entering the study, Chen Ping's eyes narrowed slightly.

Chen Ping has no impression of this Mr. Song, and he has not paid attention to this Mr. Song in his previous life, even if the other party is also a senior executive of Baidu, but Chen Ping has never met this Mr. Song.

In Chen Ping's impression, it seems that Mr. Song did not exist in the list of shareholders announced by Baidu after its listing. This is one of the reasons why Chen Ping dared to come here to discuss the acquisition of stocks with the other party.

Seeing Zhao Zheng and Chen Ping coming in, Mr. Song also raised his head slightly, then stood up with a smile, looked at Zhao Zheng and said softly, "It's been a long time, Mr. Zhao, I heard that you have been promoted again recently? It's really gratifying. Hey!"

Facing this veteran-level figure of Baidu company, Zhao Zheng didn't dare to care, he quickly walked up to shake hands with Mr. Song, smiled modestly and said, "Mr. Song is serious, where is Gao Sheng, it's just that It's just a small step forward. If there is no accident, I am afraid that my life will end here. This is still thanks to Chen Ping and President Chen. Otherwise, I will still be living in Anhe City. What a small place!"

Mr. Song nodded, then looked at Chen Ping beside him with some surprise, and asked softly, "Could this be Mr. Chen from Mr. Zhao's mouth?"

Zhao Zheng nodded with a smile, and then said with a sigh, "Yes, don't look at Mr. Chen's youth, he is one of the newest billionaires in China, and he is definitely young and promising!"

Mr. Song smiled and nodded, but there was a bit of disapproval in his eyes.

However, Chen Ping didn't care too much about it. Most of the people who saw him for the first time would show such an expression, even Zhao Zheng at the beginning.

After chatting for a while, Mr. Song invited the two to sit down, and then asked with a puzzled smile, "I don't know why Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chen came to me this time?"

Zhao Zheng also laughed dryly. In fact, before that, he had already made clear his purpose with this Mr. Song. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid this Mr. Song would not have the mood to see him.

However, now Mr. Song is pretending to be stupid, as if he doesn't know the purpose of the two of them. Although Zhao Zheng sneered at this, he didn't dare to show the slightest on the surface. With a smile, he said, "Mr. Song, this time I was entrusted by President Chen. I want to talk to Mr. Song about the shares of Baidu in your hands."

Mr. Song frowned immediately, glanced at Chen Ping in doubt, then shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Chen may not know something, currently I am in Baidu, and I am just an old man who is taking care of his life. There is absolutely no way to intervene in Baidu's decision-making level, even if you buy all the shares in my hands, I am afraid that you will not be able to enter Baidu's shareholders' meeting, and at most you can get a qualification to sit in."

I have to say that Mr. Song is telling the truth. The stock in his hands is not too much. The current market value of Baidu is as high as nearly 10 billion. Although the stock in Mr. Song's hands is worth hundreds of millions, it is also worthwhile. It's just the beginning of 1.

Such a shareholding ratio makes it impossible for him to enter the decision-making level of Baidu.

After all, the number of shareholders of Baidu is quite large, and those who can participate in the company's decision-making level basically hold more than 5 shares.

Only in the early 1990s, there is no way to join the company's decision-making affairs.

However, what Mr. Song said was not just a statement of facts, but made this equity acquisition a lot more difficult.

Obviously, when the other party said such a thing, he was already refusing.

For a while, Zhao Zheng was also a little helpless.

In fact, he had contacted this Mr. Song once before, but what the other party said had always been somewhat ambiguous.

Although there is no clear rejection, but there is no intention to sell the stock immediately.

On the contrary, Chen Ping's face was calm, he looked at Mr. Song in front of him lightly, and smiled softly, "Mr. Song is serious, you are one of the founders of Baidu after all, even if there are not many stocks in your hands now. Yes, but he can be regarded as a veteran of Baidu. No one has the qualifications to question Mr. Song’s ability, and even those senior executives of Baidu have no way to deny Mr. Song’s ability and experience.”

Mr. Song smiled slightly, and seemed to be very pleased with Chen Ping's words, but both Chen Ping and Zhao Zheng could see it, but Mr. Song disagreed.

He just smiled calmly and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Chen wants to buy the shares of Baidu in my hands this time? Could it be that he heard some rumors?"

Chen Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, and then his face was stunned, and he asked softly, "What is the wind?"

Mr. Song smiled, and after looking at Chen Ping, he seemed to casually ask, "Isn't Mr. Chen clear? The purpose of acquiring Baidu's original shares now is nothing more than to make a lot of money after Baidu's listing. Could it be that President Chen has already gotten the news that Baidu is about to go public?"

Chen Ping suddenly smiled bitterly, then shook his head gently, and said helplessly, "Mr. Song is joking, you are one of the shareholders of Baidu, and even you have not received such news, how can I get the news? ?"

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Mr. Song was stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help but laugh.

What Chen Ping said is indeed the truth. Although Mr. Song is no longer one of Baidu's decision-makers, he is still a shareholder of Baidu. There are still some sources.

At least know more than outsiders.

Chen Ping is a real outsider, and it is even more impossible for Chen Ping to know the news that even Mr. Song does not know.

Therefore, Mr. Song did not have much doubts about this, but it was precisely because of this reason that Mr. Song seemed even more puzzled about Chen Ping's purpose, and asked softly, "Since Baidu is not going to be listed soon. Why do you want to buy the original shares in my hands?"
