Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon

Chapter 47—Unkind

Google, the door of the meeting room.

"Hi, Feng," Peppa gave Feng Yiping a very warm hug. To be honest, Feng Yiping refused to do this action, "Brother, did you sleep in the office again last night?"

"It seems more than last night," Page actually thought about it.

No wonder it!

"Hi, Feng," as soon as he drove the smell out of his nose, he was hugged by another bear from behind. From the furry touch, he knew that this was Brin with a beard.

What kind of evil did I make?

However, with such treatment, Schmidt, who was standing by with a smile, was actually very envious in his heart. He really hoped that, like Feng Yiping, he could be as close as Peppa and Brin.

After sitting down, Feng Yiping looked at the two, his face was really full of red light, and he was very happy, "Is there anything happy? Has the development of our new product been completed ahead of schedule?"

Page and Brin smiled, "That's not true. Of course, it's going well. As for the happy thing, isn't there a thing in front of you?"

"You said, what is the right price for Yahoo?"

Is this the situation? How could Google now agree to be acquired?

"Does this option exist?" asked Schmidt, who was also confused about the situation, "it shouldn't exist."

"Of course there is no such option, but, quotation, you can have," Feng Yiping found that when Peppa said this, he seemed to think of something, and laughed extraordinarily, Brin did the same, he seemed to be finally finally The meaning of waiting until this day.

In this, is there any internal information that you don't know?

Looking at the two who were overwhelmed with joy, Feng Yiping glanced at Schmidt, and found that he was also completely unknown, shrugged helplessly at Feng Yiping.

The reason for this is really only known to Page and Brin.

For Yahoo and Google, it can be said to be a vivid interpretation of the typical back wave pushing the front wave and the front wave dying on the beach.

It can also be said that love and kill each other, the evil fate of reincarnation of cause and effect.

Google once wanted to be acquired by Yahoo, but Yahoo refused; Yahoo wanted to acquire Google, but Google refused...The final result, of course, everyone knows that Yahoo is bankrupt and Google is capable of taking over, but it depends on its willingness.

Even, one of the biggest mistakes in the history of high technology listed by some people is that Yahoo, which once had the opportunity to acquire Google, missed such a good opportunity for nothing.

In fact, drawing such a conclusion is not very objective.

Yahoo's first opportunity to acquire Google was in 1997.

Page and Brin, who were still studying at Stanford, successfully developed BackRub (web crawler), which is the core technology of Google’s search engine. Yahoo at that time, as the most successful portal in the world at the time, had already gained the limelight. No difference.

It is said that Page once took his own results to Yang Zhiyuan and Filo, hoping to sell his own technology at a price of 1 million US dollars, but Yahoo has no intention to buy it.

Based on this, many people said that if Yahoo decided to acquire Google at that time, there would be no subsequent decline.

But those who said this ignored a big problem. They only saw the success of Google afterwards, and then took it for granted that Google would be equally successful when it came to Yahoo.

Not at all.

Only Google’s core technology, without Page and Brin, can Yahoo make another Google based on BackRub?

Obviously not.

Google's success is inseparable from the efforts of Page and Brin, in addition to technology.

This can be seen from the outcome of those companies acquired by Yahoo.

Over the years, Yahoo spent a total of nearly 20 billion U.S. dollars to acquire many companies that seemed promising at the time. However, unfortunately, most of these acquired companies disappeared silently. Without a trace.

If it has not been acquired by Yahoo, if those companies persist, there may be companies like Google that have developed better than Yahoo later.

In short, after being rejected by Yahoo, Page and Brin continued to improve their technology and established their own Google company in 1999. The entire investment of the company was also their self-raised $1 million.

And then, thanks to the intensifying Internet bubble at that time, Yahoo's market value was already close to 130 billion U.S. dollars!

It is the Internet industry, the first company with a market value of over 100 billion US dollars.

At that time, even the legendary Buffett and his Berkshire were reduced to Yahoo's background board, and it was a background board that was stepped on by investors. It is generally believed that Buffett is already a figure of the past, like Yahoo! The company is the hope for the future.

The weak Google, in order to survive, in order to undertake its search business, has to rely on the nose of the giant Yahoo to survive.

Before reaching the cooperation intention, Google once had such a request, "Can you let Mr. Yang Zhiyuan or Mr. Filo come to our company and say a few words?"

This is also very easy to understand. Just like many domestic companies who can invite Ermayili from BAT and later Rebs to give speeches at the company, the little Google at that meeting also looks forward to Yang Zhiyuan and Filo, At that time, the two biggest idols in the Silicon Valley and American technology circles came to show their faces in their companies, cheered their employees and improved their company's style.

However, Yahoo does not step on such a request...

These two times, it should be Yahoo, the first wave that was finally shot dead on the beach, and the two most harmful to the back wave Google.

Naturally, such a thing is not a problem for Yahoo at all. They probably don't remember it at all.

Giants have always paid no attention to the shadows that they have intentionally or unintentionally brought to the weak individuals around them when they grow up, just like how elephants have cared about the feelings of ants? Glance at it occasionally is already a favor.

But for Page and Brin, this is an experience they will never forget and let go of.

Therefore, the psychological feelings of Page and Brin can be accurately summarized in a Chinese saying, that is, it has been 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi!

So these geniuses, like everyone else, are also very careful in some things.

"How about $3 billion?" Page asked.

"US$3 billion? Do they have such great courage? Look at the comparison with the previous two years. If you remember correctly, their current market value is only a fraction of US$100 billion at the peak in 2000," Brin said. Said with a nice smile.

Isn't it? In 2000, Yahoo's market value reached more than 130 billion U.S. dollars, and now it has dropped to more than 30 billion U.S. dollars, which is only a fraction of its peak.

"If the first round of quotations is less than 3 billion US dollars, it is not normal. I think at this price, Schmidt, the first round of quotations, can I trouble you?"

To be honest, Schmidt rejected such a thing from his heart.

However, Peppa and Brin are rarely in such high spirits. At this time, it is very unpleasant to say something pouring cold water, or to warn them with stern words, and they can only make themselves a less popular character.

Offend Yahoo or offend Page and Brin, is this still a choice?

"Okay," he agreed simply.

"We'll leave the meeting if nothing else," Peppa rubbed his hands. "It's getting off work soon, Feng, go to a fight with us?"

Feng Yiping hurriedly refused, "I'd better be a loyal audience."

Rugby is not a sport for a beautiful young man like me.

"Listen to me, have a good fight, get out of a sweat, take a good bath, and then have a big meal. It's also a little relaxation for yourself, okay? I'll treat you!"

These two guys are so desperate this time.

"Hey, listen to you, you are ready to bleed," because they were in a great mood, they were rare to talk today and were willing to leave their work temporarily.

"Hi, Feng," Peppa and Brin greeted. Many farmers who were as sloppy as them called to change their clothes. Meyer stood at the door of his office and waved to Feng Yiping.

"Hi beauty!"

Meyer has a very deep understanding of Feng Yi's lip service from time to time, but in fact he is really timid and like a mouse. As long as he says something bolder than him, he is sure to shrink back.

So Meyer shook his head, "Some members of the advance team, feedback some information...,"

After the WHO removed the capital from the epidemic area, Google immediately sent a team back to China, but this time Mayer did not accompany it, but she still paid attention to the progress there.

"I won't talk about work now," Feng Yiping waved his hand and sat on the sofa, "I will invite Peppa and them to dinner tonight, so come on."

"They are actually willing to go out to eat now?" Meyer was a little disbelief, then, seeing Feng Yiping's hand, fumbling around on his sofa again, his face turned red.

She can clearly remember that time, Feng Yiping took a few bites of bread, snacks, and the clothes she changed from her sofa.

She picked up a document and threw it at Feng Yiping, "What are you looking for?"

"What else can I find?" Feng Yiping looked innocent. "You don't know my recent movements. Of course, I'm looking for you if you have any coins in it."

Although he knows that this is not his true purpose, his reason is very powerful and legitimate, but Meyer is not covered, "Your shamelessness really grows faster than your age,"

"Maybe I'm with you often," Feng Yiping said smoothly.

Seeing the other side glaring at him, he immediately said, "Don't be busy, Page and they decided to play a game. The most beautiful beauty in our company is not there. How can those guys have motivation? Let's go, let's go together."

In this case, Meyer still likes to listen, "Then wait for me,"

Feng Yiping looked at the busy Mayer, but his thoughts drifted far away. Speaking of which, the person in front of him is the last CEO of Yahoo. It is hard for Feng Yiping to imagine how much Mayer has to bear under such circumstances. Pressure, how does it feel inside.

Anyway, it won't be easy to think about.

When Meyer looked up, he saw Feng Yiping staring at him in a daze. In his eyes, he seemed to be pitying?

She wanted to ridicule, but finally did not say it.

I have to say that Xiao Xianrou's gaze is quite lethal to a sister like her. Her heart beat faster, and then she involuntarily raised her head and abdomen to show her best side.

…………

Terry Semel, Yahoo's chairman and CEO, who is full of Huafa, arrived at Google with a capable team with great spirits.

The reception at Google was also very grand. CEO Schmidt was personally waiting at the door of the company, and he was very enthusiastic. The enthusiasm made Yahoo's group feel like they are already a family.

As everyone knows, this is Schmidt's effort to make Terry less complaining about himself later.

In short, the talks went smoothly unexpectedly. Three hours later, Yahoo and his party left Google excitedly. Terry Semel’s bag contained all the conditions that Google proposed.

Moreover, Google’s offer was lower than their expectations.

Terry Semel quickly convened Yahoo's board of directors and reported on the first round of talks.

"3 billion dollars?" Many directors asked.

Even if Yahoo is not as good as the previous two years, Yahoo at this time is also not bad for money. For a company like Google, the $3 billion offer is really very cost-effective.

"So what are you considering? Of course I agree."

…………

Terry Semmel led the team to Google for the second time. UU reading www.uukahnshu.com found that the person receiving him was a very young Asian guy, "You must be Feng, lucky to meet him!"

"Hello Mr. Semel, please sit down,"

"Feng, on behalf of Yahoo's board of directors, I officially agree to your offer," Semel said straightforwardly as soon as he sat down.

"Sorry, entrusted by Google's board of directors, I am sorry to inform you that most of Google's shareholders do not agree with the first round of quotations."

“They believe that US$3 billion is far from enough to show the value of Google. After several rounds of intense negotiations, Google’s board of directors decided that US$6 billion is a relatively fair price.”

"Of course, other conditions remain unchanged," Feng Yiping emphasized.

Yahoo’s group of enthusiastic people immediately stunned, but Terry Semel was not among them. He had predicted this kind of repetition, 6 billion US dollars, right, in fact, they did not exceed their final offer.

"I express indignation at your company's behavior,"

Feng Yiping spread his hands innocently, "I also ask Mr. Terry to understand that we must respect the opinions of shareholders."

"Your company's new offer, I think it overestimates the market value of Google, and we cannot accept it,"

"Moreover, the offer this time is exactly twice that of the previous one. It seems that this is not a very rigorous decision. I want to know, what is the basis for your price increase?" Terry Semel knocked on the table and said.

"This is the financial basis for our quotation." Feng Yiping took out a report prepared by Page and the others. "I'm sorry, this is the resolution of our board of directors. This point cannot be changed."

"Then we need to call a board of directors to discuss,"

"I understand that we are waiting for the good news from your company and looking forward to our next meeting," Feng Yiping said with a smile. (To be continued.)
