Negotiations with YY are relatively slow and this cooperation is more complicated.

Because Zhou Buqi is optimistic about the future development of yy, the negotiations going south this time will not only be the cooperation between yy and helo, but also the equity negotiations between the two companies.

Ziweixing will strategically invest in yy, and the required shareholding is no less than 40%.

This is too much to ask for.

YY's management team does not want to transfer so many shares. In this case, the capital's shares will account for the majority and it will lose its right to speak.

They enthusiastically welcome Ziweixing's strategic investment, but they don't want to lose control, lest they be eliminated. They also lose too much equity and damage their own interests. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if YY embraces Ziweixing's lap, it will

Entering a stage of rapid development, users and revenue will increase significantly.

The negotiations did not go well.

In contrast, the other two samples of the "Magic Helo Project" are progressing smoothly.

It's only been a few days, and the new version of Rainbow Helo has been launched. Sure enough, 51 Space has been introduced, and the commercialization route has been started decisively and enterprisingly.

Baidu is not to be outdone.

He quickly responded and expressed his willingness to start talks with Ziweixing to discuss matters related to Baidu helo.

There are more requirements.

In order to ensure that the interests of helo are not infringed, Baidu must promise that if the two parties do not cooperate in the future, Baidu will not operate products similar to "Baidu helo" for at least 24 months.

At the same time, every upgraded product of Baidu helo cannot be directly introduced to the market. It must be reviewed by Ziweixing to confirm that the new version does not infringe on its own interests before it can be officially launched.

Also, the accounts are connected.

Baidu accounts can be bound to helo, and helo can also quickly log in to Baidu. Currently, Baidu cannot enjoy the helo quick login service, mainly because Ziweixing refused because the technology is not up to standard.

As a result, Baidu has many users, but there are not many real registered users. For example, Baidu Tieba is very active, but half of the posts are made by tourists and are all unregistered users.

Once the management is strict and tourists are not allowed to speak, the activity level will immediately decrease.

Working with helo can solve this problem.

Directly log in through helo's quick and read helo account information, avatar, username, age, place of residence, school, etc., and you can quickly and automatically generate a Baidu account.

This is something Li Yanhong is particularly concerned about.

Through helo, Baidu can add millions or even tens of millions of registered users!

Registered users are much more important than tourists.

The same users and registered users can leave more recorded traces in Baidu's product system. These traces are a person's growth history.

As long as it is recorded, the cost of giving up will be very high and it will not be easy to transfer the platform.

Now, Baidu is still the largest search platform in China, but Weidian is clinging to its back and following closely. Seeing Ziweixing becoming stronger day by day, growing at a faster speed, once the product matrix becomes richer

With the establishment of the company, Weidian is likely to gradually surpass Baidu and become the leader in the search industry through cross-complementary products.

Baidu helo can help them relieve stress.

Even if Baidu helo is no longer available in the future, the quick login service of helo will be retained, which can create a certain "borrowing chicken to lay eggs" effect.

Zhou Buqi didn't pay too much attention to it. The number of users in the PC era is incomparable to that in the mobile Internet era. If you want to have more users, the most important thing is to grasp the next era.

Baidu does not have the correct strategic arrangements in this regard.

Moreover, he has never regarded Baidu as a competitor. He only needs to ensure that Baidu helo will not harm Ziweixing. In comparison, the "magic helo reform plan" is more important.

On this day, Li Yanhong came to the door with two senior executives and emphasized the plan.

"I know what you mean. Aren't you just worried that I will turn against you and use Baidu helo to manipulate you at will? Don't worry, I don't bother to use this method to attack dissidents."

Zhou Buqi's guarantee seems to be meaningless.

What is popular in China is that there is no profit or business, and there is no spirit of contract. Today, Ziweixing needs Baidu, so it will say good things, make various promises, and happily welcome Baidu helo. One day, Ziweixing will no longer need Baidu, it will be possible

His face changed, blackmail.

Li Yanhong said: "It should still be reflected in the contract."

"How to manifest it?"

"Increase liquidated damages."

"Um."

"If Baidu helo is not effective, Baidu can unilaterally abandon this product. But no matter whether this product is doing well or not, Ziweixing has no right to unilaterally interrupt the service."

Li Yanhong's request is not excessive and is within common sense.

There was such a provision in the original plan.

If you want the "Magic Helo Transformation Plan" to be promoted smoothly, third-party helo must have no worries. Helo must always adhere to the market positioning of openness, diversity, tolerance, and friendliness.

Once Ziweixing can arbitrarily interrupt the service of a certain model of helo that does not have a harmonious partnership, or suppress it arbitrarily, or no longer provide access to the helo database, the consequences will be very serious.

Then it won’t be this one magic modified helo that will be hurt, it will be hurt by all the magic modified helos, and it will cause everyone to panic.

In order to solve this panic problem, many third-party companies that are doing very well may have to run away, break away from the Helo team, and start a new business. Those remaining magic modified Helo are all weak and incapable of running away.

In this way, the entire "Magic Helo Reform Plan" will be greatly compromised or even go bankrupt.

Zhou Buqi said in surprise: "The liquidated damages are quite high now, right? One billion!"

Li Yanhong glanced at him, "With Ziweixing's strength, is it still short of the 1 billion? Once Baidu helo is launched, it may be worth 10 billion."

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "Are you so confident?"

Li Yanhong said: "It's not a matter of confidence or disbelief. When talking about business, let's talk ugly first, so as not to have any disagreements in the future and hurt the feelings of our friends."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "I agree."

Li Yanhong's serious face couldn't help but reveal a smile, "You agreed before I mentioned the number?"

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "Since we have cooperated, I have never thought about unilaterally terminating the contract. As long as Baidu helo abides by the contract and does not do anything that infringes on helo's interests, I am willing to guarantee my personality and will ensure that Baidu helo's

To function properly. My personality, I believe, is priceless.”

Li Yanhong laughed.

You can't believe this kind of nonsense.

We are all businessmen, so let’s not talk about such ridiculous concepts as personality.

"I think the setting of liquidated damages should not be a specific amount. It can be calculated based on a proportion. I think a ratio of 100 times is more appropriate."

"Proportion? User proportion?"

"Yes." Li Yanhong nodded, "Based on the number of registered users, if Baidu helo has 1 million users, you have to pay 100 million in liquidated damages. If there are 100 million users, you have to pay 10 billion in liquidated damages."

Zhou Buqi was forthright and straightforward, waving his hand and saying, "You're right! Let's do it like this! Well, we can talk to Rainbow Helo later, and we'll go according to these terms."

"Eh?" Li Yanhong looked suspicious and glanced at him, "Have I been fooled by you again?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Old Li, what do you mean?"

Li Yanhong said angrily: "You want Baidu to take the initiative to endorse you, right?"

"It's an exaggeration, not really." Zhou Buqi smiled, "I just think this 'Baidu Terms' is quite good and can be popularized with more third-party partners. Well, if more colleagues are willing to join

If you come in."

Li Yanhong twitched the corner of her mouth and couldn't say a word.

He also said it was not designed!

Even the concept of "Baidu Terms" was brought up.

Well, this is to let Baidu take the blame.

If there is a contract breach in the future, Ziweixing can breach the contract according to the "Baidu Terms" and terminate the contract... It's so fucked up.

This bastard boy really has a trap.

Li Yanhong gritted her teeth and said: "No, we cannot use the concept of 'Baidu Terms'."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Don't be so stingy."

Li Yanhong narrowed his eyes and was keenly aware of something, "Do you have any plans? Do you want to actively promote third-party companies to participate in the customization of helo? In addition to Rainbow Helo and Baidu Helo, do you also want to have more

Too much helo?”

Zhou Buqi laughed, "To be determined, it's hard to say."

Li Yanhong looked at him deeply and said calmly: "If you want to use the concept of 'Baidu Terms' to deceive people, I will stop you. This is the term I proposed. However, I have an additional request."

"What request?"

"I want to keep Baidu hi."

"This is impossible!"

"Baidu hi's product positioning will be revised and it will no longer be market-oriented. It will become an office communication software and will only be used within Baidu."

Li Yanhong said it very sincerely.

Baidu hi has worked hard to develop and design so many powerful functions. It is a pity to waste it like this. It is better to transform and make enterprise-level office software. At present, there is a trend of localizing office software in China.

, just in line with the general trend.

Zhou Buqi frowned slightly, "Lao Li, I am sincerely cooperating with you, and I have even agreed to Baidu's terms. Please don't play tricks on me."

Li Yanhong said with a smile: "No, I really want to transform."

Zhou Buqi said: "Since we have transformed and no longer cater to the mass market, let's change the name."

"Change your name?"

"Yes, Baidu hi in the past has been upgraded to Baidu helo. Old users of Baidu hi in the past can be directly converted into helo users. You can connect the data. Don't let users of the two products have cross conflicts."

"Well……"

Li Yanhong couldn't help but sigh in her heart, being young is good, thinking quickly, and reacting quickly. Faced with this choice, she just blurted out.

Zhou Buqi asked: "How is it? If you agree, I will agree."
