Chapter 166：

"Mr. Mark, I'll ask you again, have you considered it?"

Restraining his mind, Mark put forward his own requirements to Xu Ang: "My team and I are willing to join Twitter. We will invest in technology and ask for 50% of the shares."

Xu Ang shook his head: "Twenty at most. Mr. Mark, I am very sincere, and I am not the only one who chooses you. It is very important for a person to know his own position, which helps you recognize your own value."

The young man on the opposite side spoke very slowly, but the weight was heavy.

"Xu, my team and I have had successful experiences."

Mark is trying to bargain.

Xu Ang was not polite to him at all: "But you have been swept out of the house now, aren't you, you are just a group of losers in everyone's eyes. Capital never favors losers, you know this better than me. I have You have to choose, but you may not."

With that said, Xu Ang stood up: "Maybe you have a better choice."

Seeing that Xu Ang was not allowed to continue talking, Mark quickly agreed: "Okay, just 20 percent!"

Yes, Xu Ang was right, after being kicked out by Paul and cleaning up Netscape, Mark really knew better than anyone how indifference and cruelty of capital towards losers.

If the capital had a little warmth, Mark and his team would not have found a home by now.

Just because Mark didn't even receive Xu Ang's call, but Hendry relayed Xu Ang's invitation to him, and he flew over in a hurry, Xu Ang had already seen through his truth. Otherwise, when he first met Mark, Xu Ang's eyes would not be so intriguing.

How can the person with the absolute upper hand give the person with the absolute disadvantage a chance to bargain?

If it wasn't for the maintenance and technical upgrade of Twitter in the future, Mark's team would need to be used, if Mark was a pure American, or if Xu Ang was worried that the United States would use their rotten national security issues and citizens because of their Chinese identity ** As an excuse to target and block his own company, Xu Ang would not even give Mark 20% of the shares.

Hearing that Mark agreed, Xu Ang extended his hand to Mark again: "Then, happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

This sentence Mark is sincere, especially when he sees the sunny smile on Xu Ang's face that seems to have not changed, the sincerity is instantly raised to full value.

Mark was very puzzled, obviously it was the same person, obviously the same face, obviously the same smile, why would it give him completely different feelings.

He didn't know that after this incident, the thought of 'I can't fight this young man' appeared in his subconscious, which made him fear Xu Ang deep in his heart.

Xu Ang snapped his fingers: "Hendry, work."

Hendry, who was waiting early, walked over quickly and said to Mark: "Mr. Mark, this is a draft contract. If you and my employer have new ideas and any doubts, you can let me know, It's up to me to translate it into legal writing according to the results of your negotiation."

Negotiating the details of a contract is a time-consuming and labor-intensive business that takes a lot of time.

Fortunately, Xu Ang and Mark have already set the general direction of cooperation before, and have also determined their respective shares in the new company. Otherwise, this time will take longer, and it will definitely not be negotiable in three or five days.

In fact, Mark knew very well in his heart that when Xu Ang saw through his own reality and knew that his right to choose was extremely limited, or even had no choice, how to cooperate has been roughly finalized.

The next negotiation is just to determine the details, and also give Mark an opportunity to get as much favorable conditions as possible for himself and his team in the limited space.

Mark could see this clearly from the moment Hendry took out the draft contract.

Hendry is Xu Ang's personal lawyer. Using the contract he brought out as a framework, doesn't it mean that he is negotiating within the scope delineated by Xu Ang?

No matter what the result is, it is within Xu Ang's control, and no matter how much he strives for within this framework, it is within Xu Ang's acceptable range.

The negotiation of the weaker party is like this. The market is very cruel, and it will not last long without enough pressure resistance.

After three days of fierce confrontation-mainly between the negotiating team recruited by Hendry from the headhunting company for Xu Ang and Mark, Xu Ang only made the final decision. Xu Ang said yes, this one will be passed, Xu Ang said no, they will talk to Mark again.

Xu Ang will not do it in person, and he will not give his subordinates room to play. How can they show their value, like Zhuge Liang, who is hands-on, what else is left other than exhausting himself?

The final contract was placed on Xu Ang's desk. After he signed it, one of them was locked in the safe by Xu Ang, the other was kept by Hendry's representative Sheng Xin as a witness lawyer, and the other was brought by Mark, who was with him. He flew back to America together.

When Mark was leaving, Xu Ang said to him: "I have arranged for the instant messaging software Penguin to provide support for Twitter, they are a company specializing in Internet communication What you and your team need to do is It is not difficult for you to make a Twitter portal in the shortest time, so that users can open it with a single click."

Mark replied: "Yes. In fact, my team has not been idle these three days, they have moved. Give me a week and I will let you see it."

Xu Ang was a little worried: "Will seven days be too short, can you really do it?"

"Ten days to be exact. Boss, you forgot to count the three days that have passed." Mark expressed his thoughts, "We can launch a simplified version first, and then gradually improve it. This way, we can occupy the market as quickly as possible. , preempting users not to say, but also let users see our sincerity, know that we are making continuous progress, and have the feeling that we have listened to their opinions.”

It's a jerk, but I like it.

I love a little smart guy like you.

Mark solemnly reminded Xu Ang: "Paul is different from Bill. Although this person is stubborn, he has a much sharper sense of the Internet than Bill. If we cannot seize users in the shortest time, it is difficult to guarantee that Paul will not use the Internet. The advantages of the King View browser follow suit. Once he does that, and we don't develop it, then such a good idea will make his fortune legend, I can't accept it."

The last sentence reveals that you are full of resentment, big brother.

"Don't worry, I will strongly support you."

The strong support that Xu Ang said was not limited to verbal support, nor was it limited to financial support. His strong support was extremely hard-core.

Far away in Cupertino, Steve, who was stocking up with all his might and silently gathering strength for the blockbuster, received a call from Xu Ang again.

"Hey Steve, I heard Bill and his old partner Paul are teaming up again, I can't leave you alone."
