Chapter 1127: Zhuolu Alliance

Qin Hao patted her shoulder gently and said, "With your support, I am more confident."

Soon after, Acton and Koum decided to take a private plane to the Zhuolu Group headquarters for a formal interview.

In the conference room, Qin Hao and his team were already prepared and waiting for their arrival.

When Acton and Kom walked in, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Zhou Si spoke softly, quickly relaxing the atmosphere: "Welcome, you have come all the way to us."

Acton smiled and nodded: "This is a project that has to happen. We all have the same expectations for the future."

Koum seemed a little more cautious and asked some more detailed questions.

In the negotiation room.

Qin Hao sat at the head of the table, while his team surrounded him, staring quietly at Acton and Kom.

As soon as the two guests sat down, Qin Hao said straight to the point: "In addition to capital injection, the important thing about our cooperation this time is the long-term strategic development plan."

“If WhatsApp can seize the subtle changes in the current market, it will lead a new round of communication innovation.”

Acton frowned slightly, obviously considering Qin Hao's proposal.

Koum asked cautiously, "Mr. Qin, specifically, what are your conditions for the Series A investment?"

“We need a clear plan for the distribution of shares.”

Qin Hao looked directly at them and continued, "The market is not friendly to large social media platforms at the moment. Competition is very fierce. We must proceed cautiously and ensure that every step paves the way for long-term development."

Zhou Si handed over a document and explained softly, "This is our preliminary investment plan. You can see some of our suggestions on infrastructure, user growth strategy, and future expansion plans."

Acton took the document and looked at it carefully.

"I think we need time to digest and discuss Zhuolu Group's opinions."

He spoke sincerely.

There was a moment of silence in the air as everyone seemed to weigh the pros and cons of these conditions.

Qin Hao nodded to show his understanding. "Of course, this is just our judgment of the current market situation. Technological development is ever-changing. We hope to reach an agreement within a reasonable framework to maximize the use of resources on both sides."

Koum: “It’s right to take the technology environment into consideration, but there are still many challenges.”

On the side, Zhou Si held a cup of hot tea and said with a smile: "That is why we hope to cooperate under the most balanced conditions possible to lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of WhatsApp. This cup of tea symbolizes our sincerity."

Compared with rash decisions, this calm and harmonious negotiation rhythm gives each participant time to sort out their thoughts.

Soon after, the meeting ended, and Acton and Koum stood up to leave. Acton stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qin Hao. "Thank you for your answer. We will seriously consider your suggestions and give you a reply."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "I look forward to your good news."

When the guests left the conference room, Ah San looked at Qin Hao and smiled, "It seems that they are positive about our plan."

"Yes."

Qin Hao nodded, "Now it depends on whether they are willing to cooperate deeply under our framework."

He turned and looked out the window. "The future of Zhuolu depends on every key decision. Now, the entry of WhatsApp may be an opportunity for us to open a new chapter."

The entire team is looking forward to this great cooperation being implemented as scheduled.

After several days of thinking and negotiation, the third meeting was finally held as scheduled.

A long conference table brings participants together.

Qin Hao sat in the center, looking at Acton and Kom sitting opposite him with a smile.

This time, the participants were obviously less reserved and more frank.

“Thank you all for coming again. I believe today’s meeting will be crucial to our cooperation.”

Qin Hao opened up by saying this, his tone revealing confidence and composure.

Acton nodded. "Indeed, we are also looking forward to hearing your new proposal."

His eyes moved back and forth between Qin Hao and the documents in his hand.

Qin Hao pushed the document to the center of the table without haste.

“We have prepared a new financing plan.”

His tone was light, but the weight of his words could not be ignored.

“We are willing to provide 600 million yuan in financing and introduce a new technology called ELBPOS. We believe that this technology can greatly enhance the user experience and market competitiveness of your platform.”

Kom's brows raised slightly in surprise.

"Six million, this amount is much higher than we expected."

He chose his words carefully. "Of course, any form of capital injection needs to be carefully considered."

Acton and Kom looked at each other.

Their emotions were somewhat complicated; this huge investment seemed to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but the hidden risks could not be ignored.

Qin Hao smiled slightly, as if he had guessed their concerns. "I understand your concerns. What I want to ensure is that this investment will not affect your control over the company. Our goal is to help you better seize market opportunities, not to interfere with the daily management and operations of WhatsApp."

Zhou Si interjected quietly, "I hope this proposal can demonstrate our sincerity."

After Acton pondered for a moment, he finally nodded.

Koum went on to say, “If this investment works as you promised, WhatsApp will benefit tremendously.”

Qin Hao nodded and turned the conversation to discussing specific operations. "In order to ensure seamless integration, we can also provide necessary advice and support in terms of technology and market strategy. Our resources and experience are all about finding win-win solutions."

Acton took a sip of the tea on the table, thought for a moment, and asked, "How exactly is this technology applied? We need to have a deeper understanding of it."

Qin Hao gestured to Ah San beside him. "Ah San will work with the technical team to prepare a detailed introduction for you. We will arrange a more detailed technical meeting."

The atmosphere of the meeting became more relaxed.

Acton and Kom were obviously attracted by Qin Hao's sincerity and plan, and began to seriously consider the possibility of this cooperation.

Everyone present realized that the success of this agreement would not only be a good opportunity for WhatsApp, but would also be an important bridge for Zhuolu Group.

After the meeting, Qin Hao, Zhou Si, Asan and other team members walked out of the meeting room.

They were in a good mood. After all, after a detailed discussion, Acton and Koum finally agreed to accept the investment. This was not just a matter of capital inflow, but also a deep commitment to future development.

"It seems that our plan is going smoothly." Zhou Si said with a smile.

She knew that the successful negotiation was inseparable from Qin Hao's wisdom and strategy.

"Yes."

Qin Hao nodded. "ELBPOS technology is a great temptation for them. The advanced nature of this system will bring revolutionary changes to WhatsApp."

Ah San interrupted, "However, we still have to proceed step by step. Merchants are not easy opponents to deal with. The strategy of reducing commissions also needs to be implemented quickly."

Qin Hao looked into the distance thoughtfully, with an idea in his mind.

He turned to the person next to him and said with confidence, "Adjusting the commission will inevitably trigger a counterattack from the merchants, but this is also an effective way for us to force them to compromise. As long as we take the initiative, they will have no choice."

That night, Qin Hao held a strategic meeting in his office, which was also attended by White and the heads of Zhuoye Investment Company.

During this discussion, they detailed an implementation plan to reduce WhatsApp's commission rate to 5% to combat market competitors.

The conference room was brightly lit and there were piles of documents on the table.

White carefully flipped through the documents in his hand and raised his concerns, "Boss Qin, although reducing commissions can grab more market share, we also need to consider whether this price reduction will have too much impact on our overall profits?"

Qin Hao said soothingly, "White, you are right to worry. However, the sacrifice of profits in the short term is for us to establish a strong competitive advantage in the longer-term market. This is not only a strategy, but also an investment in the future market."

Everyone began to enthusiastically discuss and supplement the feasibility of this strategy, and the meeting did not end until late at night.

The next morning, Qin Hao sat in his office chair, tapping his fingers on the desk, staring at the computer screen.

On the screen were several negative reports about WhatsApp, with headlines maliciously accusing the app of manipulating user reviews and deceiving developers.

Qin Hao frowned slightly, realizing that this storm of public opinion came quite suddenly.

Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, the office door was gently pushed open and Zhou Si walked in quickly.

She looked a little tired, obviously having been running around for a long time dealing with these negative news.

"Qin Hao, I am very worried that this public opinion will affect the company's reputation,"

Zhou Si said bluntly, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Qin Hao motioned for her to sit down. "These are all expected, Zhou Si. This kind of thing happens all the time in the technology industry. Don't worry too much."

Zhou Si sat down and tried to calm himself down. "That being said, these negative news spread too fast. We have to find a solution as soon as possible."

Qin Hao nodded. "I have contacted some important media and public relations experts. They will help us clarify these false rumors. In addition, we can also cooperate with some well-known bloggers to help clarify and refute these false news."

Zhou Si was relieved a little, but still a little uneasy. "Will this incident affect our planned commission reduction strategy? I'm a little worried that doing both at the same time will cause a bigger backlash."

Qin Hao shook his head gently. "Don't worry too much. The commission reduction strategy is a key step for us to enter the market, and it will not be affected by this public opinion for the time being. The most important thing is that this time we have to find the mastermind behind it and prevent them from continuing to disrupt the situation."

At this moment, Ah San pushed the door open and walked in with a serious expression, "Boss Qin, I found some clues about those accounts that spread rumors."

"Tell me."

"Most of these accounts are newly registered, and there seems to be a team behind them. I suspect that competitors are behind it."

Qin Hao smiled lightly when he heard this, and the mystery in his heart became clearer.

He secretly speculated about possible competitors, and various possibilities quickly flashed through his mind.

"Asan, continue to investigate. At the same time, liaise with the legal team and prepare further countermeasures."

Zhou Si had calmed down by now and breathed a sigh of relief, "Qin Hao, I believe you can handle this matter well."

"Of course, we will definitely find a suitable solution." Qin Hao's words were firm.

As the discussion progresses.

A new list of agreements was drawn up and Asan continued his investigation.

Zhou Size was responsible for contacting the public relations team to plan speeches and clarify strategies.

The atmosphere in the office gradually returned to calm, but Qin Hao's heart was still surging.

Regardless of whether these rumors can be stopped soon, Qin Hao knows that finding the mastermind behind the scenes is the top priority.

There was a knock on the door, and Qin Hao said, "Come in."

The people who came in were his network security expert, San, and a middle-aged man who looked somewhat elegant.

"Mr. Qin, this is my friend Hong Yu, he works in the Internet monitoring department." Asan introduced.

Qin Hao nodded and motioned for them to sit down.

"Boss Qin, I have investigated the registration details of those rumor-mongering accounts. They use a lot of technical means to hide their true identities."

Hong Yu's tone was serious and calm. "But one account exposed some information due to operational errors. We are doing our best to track it down."
