Before coming to Hong Kong, Kangsheng had already communicated with Lynk & Cott, but the other party's Yanjing branch had no decision-making power, so this meeting arrangement was made.

In order to facilitate Chen Qiaoshan's trip in Hong Kong, Elliot left the Junjue and the driver. The meeting was set at the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. In the past, Central still needed to cross the sea. In order not to be late, he had to set out in advance.

Halfway through the journey, Tuo Xiaoxue said with a little expectation: "Isn't it just tea time now? Is it the afternoon tea at Leslie Cheung's favorite Peninsula hotel?"

Chen Qiaoshan nodded and asked with a little curiosity: "Why, do you like Leslie Cheung?"

"Do you have any objections?" Tuo Xiaoxue asked back. After being with her for a long time, she was already familiar with Chen Qiaoshan's temperament and could occasionally make a few jokes.

The driver is a native of Hong Kong and does not understand Mandarin. He has no problem communicating in English, so he is not worried that the two of them will be heard by each other. Tuo Xiaoxue took out the documents she carried with her and said, "I have sorted out the plans. I have asked Lawyer Wang about the specific terms. Generally speaking, there is no problem. But if you really sign a contract, do you need to let the legal department come in person?"

"No need to be so troublesome. Today I will just talk about it first. Even if the task is completed, the specific terms will definitely continue to be disputed." Chen Qiaoshan did not expect to swallow a fat man in one bite. In the face of interests, no one is willing to give in easily.

Fortunately, the road was smooth and the tunnel was not congested. I arrived at the hotel soon. It was agreed at 3:30 in the afternoon, and it was only 3:10 in the hotel. The two of them sat in the car for a while. The time was almost over, so they got off.

Chen Qiaoshan has always believed that punctuality is a good habit, but he has no intention of being in advance. Today is here to negotiate, so he must have a posture.

The afternoon tea at Peninsula Hotel is just around the lobby where you enter. Although it is Lantern Festival today, the number of people queuing up is not small, but most of them are foreigners and locals.

Chen Qiaoshan has been here twice, but it is no wonder that Tuo Xiaoxue is very curious. From Eileen Chang to Leslie Cheung, there are too many rumors about the Peninsula Hotel. Even when she first came in, she felt that this place was obviously different from other hotels.

Looking at the idle tables and the crowd in the distance, Tuo Xiaoxue asked, "Isn't there an empty seat? Why are there so many people queuing up?"

"Hotel guests can make reservations, and those tables are left for them." Chen Qiaoshan knew the reason. Afternoon tea at Peninsula Hotel is very popular, but it is often hard to find. Some celebrities and wealthy people booked a private room here and did not check in normally, just to make a reservation for an afternoon tea seat.

Shortly after entering the door, a man in suit walked towards the two of them. When he saw the person coming, Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "Minister Li, it took some time to cross the sea, but it made you wait for a long time."

The man in suit is Li Changyuan, the head of the Yanjing branch of Lynk & Cott. The cooperation with Kang Sheng was discussed by Chen Qiaoshan, and the two had known each other for a long time.

"Don't worry, we just arrived." Li Changyuan responded with a pure Tianjin accent. When outsiders heard this, they would definitely regard him as a Chinese, but Chen Qiaoshan knew that this guy was an authentic Korean. He studied under Nankai University and ended up with a authentic Tianjin accent.

"Mr. Chen, please, please, our president has arrived." Li Changyuan did not give any more greetings, but took the person directly to a table on the left side of the hall.

Lynk & Cott is the largest Internet advertising platform in South Korea. Its business scale is very large and it has entered many markets including China and the United States. Chen Qiaoshan originally thought that the boss of this Internet company should be a young man, but when he saw the real owner, he realized that it was very different from his expectations. Although the other party was not old, he was definitely not young. Conservatively, he was also in his sixties. Such an older Internet person, Chen Qiaoshan only met Tan Zhi in China.

Chen Qiaoshan was looking at the other party, and Jinxizhen, the head of Lynkate, was also looking at him. Li Changyuan said at this time: "President, this is the president of Qingshan Capital."

Jinxi Town waved his hand and interrupted Li Changyuan's introduction. He stretched out his hand directly to Chen Qiaoshan and said in English: "Mr. Chen, you are really young and promising."

Chen Qiaoshan was a little unprepared. He thought he would rely on Li Changyuan to be the middle of the translation, but he didn't expect that the other party knew English and he looked aggressive as soon as he came up. He replied softly and hard: "Where is it, I'm a little curious. It's rare for Internet people as old as President Jin."

Jinxi Town could naturally hear the provocative meaning of the other party's words, but just laughed it off and did not mean to continue to have a verbal dispute.

After sitting down, Li Changyuan waved to the waiter. Chen Qiaoshan only had a cup of Darjeeling. The Peninsula Hotel chose the best grade, which was much better than some five-star hotels that Naliton fooled things.

As soon as he sat down, Chen Qiaoshan felt that this place was not suitable for business. First of all, the atmosphere was the atmosphere, which was a rare laziness in Hong Kong. Another thing was that the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of various pastries, which was really out of place.

Chen Qiaoshan is not interested in this kind of environment, but the place is calmed by Jinxi. He is not easy to pick on when he comes.

"Mr. Chen, Kangsheng wants to acquire Lynk & Cott's business in China. I wonder what price you can offer?" Although Jinxi Town is not like an Internet person, it is very direct and started the topic first.

"It's not an acquisition, it's a cooperation." Chen Qiaoshan corrected.

"I mean that the two sides need to deepen cooperation. As for the Lynk & Cott China branch, it is only part of the cooperation and merged into a new joint venture to jointly develop the domestic market in the future."

This statement is not new, because Li Changyuan had already reported to the headquarters. Jinxi Town questioned: "Mr. Chen, our early cooperation is very smooth, and it is necessary to set up a new cooperative company?"

Chen Qiaoshan said with a little disdain: "Your explosive growth in the Chinese market is based on Kangsheng's free market channels. This kind of cooperation cannot be continued. I don't need to remind you more, right?"

The muscles on Jinxizhen's face twitched slightly. He understood that what Chen Qiaoshan said was the truth, which was also the reason why he was willing to sit at the negotiating table in person today.

Since Lynk & Cotton was tied up with Kangsheng, although the profit margin has risen sharply, 90% of the channels are in the hands of Kangsheng, and Lynk & Cotton is only responsible for advertising sources and technical support. Once they break up with Kangsheng, the situation that they finally won in the Chinese market will probably be out of control immediately and the losses will be obvious.

Jinxi Town pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen, the contract with Kangsheng can be re-developed. We are willing to give up some of our rights and interests to pay Kangsheng's channel costs."

Chen Qiaoshan sneered secretly that 50% of the market share of domestic online advertising is in the hands of the portal, and the remaining part is divided by dozens of alliances, of which Google occupies half of the market. Baidu is a rising star and is getting very fast. It is following Google closely and has already settled in the second place, while the rest are only in its infancy.

It is precisely because of its cooperation with Kangsheng that Lynk & Cote is favored by small and medium-sized webmasters. With the help of the market channels provided by Kangsheng, Lynk & Cote is the first to launch the CPS advertising model, which is more popular among advertisers than traditional click payments. However, in less than half a year, it has changed its previous decline and firmly gained a foothold in the Chinese market. Although its revenue in the fourth quarter was less than one-quarter of Baidu Alliance, if this model continues, it is possible to come from behind.

Because he was eager to intervene in the market, Kangsheng gave up the channel income. Now Jinxi Town wants to consolidate cooperation by sharing its share, obviously he has not considered the situation. Chen Qiaoshan wants more than that.

"President Jin, as a partner, I will officially notify you here that Kangsheng has developed a traditional CPA advertising system and will be put into the market in the near future. After all, CPS is not suitable for all sites, and this should not conflict with the contract we signed last year."

Hearing this, Jinxizhen and Li Changyuan were both stunned. They looked at each other, and their faces were a little unfair.

No one is good at being a multinational company. Since Kangsheng has made a CPA system, how difficult is it to make a CPS?

Jinxi Town's face was silent. Chen Qiaoshan was almost a threat. He couldn't figure it out. Since he was about to tear apart, why did he come to ask for cooperation again?

Think deeper, Kangsheng has mastered market channels and is not short of technology. As for advertisers, they can find an advertising company to replace them. If it were him, he would kick Lynk & Cott away with one kick. Is it necessary to go through such a big trouble?

Jinxizhen felt a little questioned. He thought for a long time but couldn't guess the other party's intentions. He asked immediately: "Mr. Chen, since this is the case, Kang Sheng can do it himself. Is it necessary for our cooperation to continue?"

"President Jin, I have always valued contracts and kept my faith. Since both parties have signed the contract, I will definitely do things according to the rules." Chen Qiaoshan smiled and gave a reason that he would not believe it himself.

The people on the table looked different. Jinxi Town was fine, and they were as old as a fox. He knew in his heart that since the other party had found it, there would definitely be room for maneuver. On the contrary, Tuo Xiaoxue, although her face was still silent, she was secretly complaining in her heart.

She sorted out the new contract terms. If there were no outsiders, Tuo Xiaoxue could not help but sarcastic. She understood that this could only fool the Koreans for the time being. If they saw the new contract, they would probably have the heart to overturn the table.

Chen Qiaoshan ignored the rest and said to himself: "I believe in a professional career. Advertising alliance is not Kangsheng's main business, but since I have done it, I will take the top spot in the mainland market. I believe Lynk & Cott also has this idea?"

Jinxizhen's eyes flashed. The Korean market was too small and could not compare with China. Although Lynkel dominated South Korea, its scale was limited. If he could really occupy the Chinese market, even if he thought about it, his chest would tighten, which was really tempting.

In just a moment, Jinxi Town made a choice, and he asked, "I wonder how you want to cooperate?"

Seeing that the other party finally became interested in the plan, Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but smile. He knew that the Korean guy was moved, and this time it should be not far from the conclusion of the negotiation.

Chen Qiaoshan also considered to kick Lynk & Cott away and work alone. Even if he was in court, he would just be a lawsuit and pay.

There is nothing to be afraid of. Including the three major portals, I don’t know how much lawyer fees will be spent every year. For example, Sina, which has been troubled recently, was sued in court in the United States at noon today because of the untimely information disclosure, which has added fire to the acquisition war.

Chen Qiaoshan also carefully considered the reason why he did not kick out Lynk & Cott. As Lynk & Cott, which has long been in the top three in the domestic CPS advertising alliance market in the future, but has never won the top, its technology is definitely mature. Keeping cooperation with them is one aspect, and it also facilitates Kangsheng's outward penetration and expansion.

So far, Kangsheng is only an Internet company.

Chen Qiaoshan once heard a saying that domestic Internet companies own the entire Chinese market but lose the whole world. He has great ambitions and naturally has the idea of ​​expanding outwardly.

So far, Google has not officially entered China, but their affiliate advertising has been passively entering the domestic market for many years.

Chen Qiaoshan naturally wanted to copy Google's model, so he would have to seek external partners, and Lynk & Cott was undoubtedly the best partner.
