After waiting for more than an hour, at 10:10 in the morning, Qian Nan, with short hair and wearing a small black suit, led two men into the conference room.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhou?"

Qian Nan looked at Zhou Wenhai and said that she didn't expect him to be so young.

"Yes, Mr. Qian, I'm Zhou Wenhai from Five Star Group." Zhou Wenhai shook hands with Qian Nan. "This is Mr. Hong from Southwest Holding Group." He introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Hong."

"Hi Mr. Qian."

The two sides sat facing each other, and the discussion officially began.

"Mr. Zhou, then I will speak directly."

Qian Nan is about 35 years old, and she is not outstanding in appearance. It seems that she, like Mr. Hong, is a strong woman.

"Okay, Mr. Qian, please tell me."

Zhou Wenhai said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, we came to you today mainly to talk to you about a Douyin short video developed by your company."

Zhou Wenhai nodded, motioning for the other party to continue talking.

Qian Nan also smiled at Zhou Wenhai, and she went on to say: "We have known about this software of yours, and it is very similar to our company's philosophy. To be honest, our company is also planning to develop a short video of the same type recently. APP, after we accidentally saw the Douyin short video developed by your company, we felt that this was the product our company wanted, but it was developed by your company first.”

Can you not want it, this fucking is your product.

"Mr. Qian, thank you for your compliment."

Said so on the surface, but Zhou Wenhai was amused by it in his heart.

"But Mr. Zhou, after all, your company is a Sino-Korean joint venture mainly with foreign capital, so at this point, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your future publicity and promotion."

I don't know where Qian Nan got the news, but it seems that the fact that his short Douyin video can't be released in Huaguo has already made some rumors outside.

"The money is always what you want?"

"So Mr. Zhou, I'm thinking, can we talk about your company's transfer of Douyin short videos to our company?"

Qian Nan's attitude is very gentle, not as arrogant as the last person.

"Okay, Mr. Qian, I wonder how much your company can bid?"

"How about $50 million?"

As soon as Qian Nan finished speaking, Zhou Wenhai who was drinking tea almost spit out water.

"Mr. Qian, are you kidding me? 50 million dollars? Do I look like a beggar?"

"Then I'll add another 30 million, a total of 80 million US dollars, Mr. Zhou, isn't this price low?"

Qian Nan pretended to be reluctant to part with her and said.

"Mr. Qian, if you can only get this price at your level, then please ask Mr. Zhang to come and talk to me."

Zhou Wenhai said with a dismissive smile.

"Mr. Zhou, according to your opinion, how much should we bid?"

Qian Nan asked tentatively.

"Mr. Qian, it's not me asking for a price, but someone has already offered me a price."

"Mr. Zhou, may I ask which company offered you what kind of price?"

Knowing that someone had contacted Zhou Wenhai, Qian Nan hurriedly asked.

"This company is also well-known in South Korea. It is TX Group. In our first round of negotiations, they invested 200 million US dollars, and they also promised us that the 200 million US dollars was just to buy 70% of Douyin's shares."

They are also the ones who reported Zhou Wenhai to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It is precisely because TX has seen the success of Tik Tok overseas that they plan to win this short video app in Huaguo.

Zhou Wenhai's words made Qian Nan feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

200 million US dollars, but only to buy 70% of the shares, is this TX out of his mind?

But isn't TX relying on this to occupy the market?

Previously, ByteDance conducted an internal evaluation of Douyin, and more than 90% of people believed that Douyin's short video has a bright future.

"Mr. Zhou, at this price, I'm afraid we..."

"It doesn't matter, this is not our final price anyway, Mr. Qian, if your company can't agree to our condition, then we will have to transfer the Douyin short video to TX."

Qian Nan fell silent.

"Mr. Qian, I know that your company is also developing this type of short video, but please think about it. If I sell it to TX, I am afraid that even if you develop it by then, the market will already be occupied by TX." It's over."

After saying this, Zhou Wenhai noticed that Qian Nan's face twitched. Obviously, this kind of situation was the last thing they wanted to see.

"Mr. Zhou, what is the price in your heart?"

"350 million US dollars, plus 30% of the original shares of Douyin short video."

This week Wenhai is literally talking to the lion.

"Mr. Zhou, can I make a call and ask our Mr. Zhang for instructions?"

"Of course, Mr. Qian, please do as you please."

Qian Nan took her two assistants outside.

"Mr. Zhou, you are really amazing."

Mr. Hong, who did not speak during the whole process, was full of praise for Zhou Wenhai's strategy.

"Mr. Hong, you're too proud. Hey, in Korea, I was exhausted just from dealing with big companies like Samsung and Lotte. I didn't expect to have to deal with a perverted company like TX in Huaguo."

Zhou Wenhai told Mr. Hong about his discomfort.

After more than ten minutes, the three of Qian Nan walked in again, and she smiled apologetically at Zhou Wenhai and Mr. Hong.

"Mr. Zhou, may I take the liberty of asking a question?"

"Mr. Qian, you can ask."

"If in the end only TX is negotiating with your company, and your asking price is not accepted by the other party, wouldn't you just let them kill you?"

Qian Nan thought, if no one buys Zhou Wenhai's Douyin short video at a price of 350 million US dollars, then he will have no market for the price. At that time, he only needs to wait until his short video is successfully developed, and Zhou Wenhai will lose his wife They folded again.

Zhou Wenhai snorted softly, and he said with a smile, "Mr. Qian, it's not that I haven't considered what you said. I can re-establish a company with Mr. Hong and the others. I will hold 40% of the shares. Boss Hong has arranged for our Five Star Group to never intervene, so it’s okay for the head office, right?"

The smile that Qian Nan raised just now faded quickly. Doing so will only benefit others. No one can understand the operation policy of Douyin's short video better than them. This is a big head, and they can't lose it easily.

Neither TX nor Southwest Holding Group should be underestimated.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I just asked our Mr. Zhang for instructions. I hope you can agree to the price I will say next, because this is also our final price. We came to negotiate with you with sincerity."

Qian Nan planned to finalize the matter with Zhou Wenhai today.

"Of course I hope that we can cooperate happily, Mr. Qian, please tell me."

"The price we offered was 310 million US dollars. We will fund the acquisition of the shares of Douyin Short Video Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Five Star Group (Huaguo) Investment Co., Ltd. After the acquisition, the shares of Douyin Short Video Technology Co., Ltd. We account for 70%, Mr. Zhou and your Five Star Group (Huaguo) Investment Co., Ltd. account for 30%, and, as you said, you must not interfere with our operation of Douyin Short Video Technology Co., Ltd. in the future."

"It's a little less than I expected, but it's acceptable, Mr. Qian, I have one more request, and this request will not affect you in any way."

"Mr. Zhou, please tell me."

"I asked to add in the contract that all Douyin's business in South Korea will be represented by our Five Star Group."

"Mr. Zhou, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Qian Nan asked questions about thinking.

"Mr. Qian, you can understand it this way. If Korean companies want to expand their business in China through Douyin in the future, they must be approved by our Five Star Group."
