Chapter 141: Episode 141: Smoke Bomb Released and US Dollar Acquisition 2
"Hi, about that... we haven’t even discussed the price yet," Zhou Xueyin shrugged her shoulders.
"What if the group is willing to pay 8 million for the acquisition? What do you think about that?" Li Lingli was straightforward. With her understanding of the 51buy website and the Chinese market situation, she directly stated Zhou Xueyin’s psychological price.
"8 million... That really is a tempting offer. However, I have already been in touch with CBIS, so it’s only courteous to wait for their quote, don’t you think?" Zhou Xueyin said politely.
After all, if it’s an international enterprise that acquires it, then the private company will become a foreign enterprise, which indeed has a certain prestige. If a Chinese company acquires it, there won’t be much change in the nature of the company, at most it will just have a backing. When choosing, one would still tend to choose a foreign enterprise.
"That’s fine, it’s the end of the year anyway, and the acquisition won’t be affected by this one or two days’ delay." Hearing Zhou Xueyin say this, Li Lingli knew what was going on, "Just compare after you get their price!"
"Sure, I’ll let you know once I have news!" Zhou Xueyin smiled politely, "May I ask why your group wants to acquire our website? Isn’t your group all about magazines?"
"It’s precisely because we’ve been hit by the internet that we can’t help but transform!" Li Lingli spoke with difficulty.
The decline in sales of newspapers and magazines is a sight for all to see. Due to the impact of the internet, many computer-related magazines and newspapers have all announced their discontinuation. Fashion pictorials and food-related ones are a bit better, but still, one quarter is not as good as the last.
If we don’t combine efforts online and offline, I’m afraid we won’t last many more years...
"I understand, so you saw our collaboration with Fashion Xinrui and thought there might be a chance at redemption, which is why you want to acquire us?" Use us as a lifeline?
"Of course, that’s part of it, but it still depends on what you think." Li Lingli said, making polite conversation.
