Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon

"Haha, are you a farmer?" Kidman laughed. "Are you treating your company as a farm? Silicon Valley is a big farm?"

Feng Yiping smiled helplessly at Li An. Those present, afraid that he might be the only one who knew that in China, the word farmer is not just a profession. In many cases, it refers to the household registration attribute, which means not a town. Hukou, but people with agricultural Hukou.

"But it means you accepted my invitation, doesn't it?" Kidman asked.

"Yes, of course," Feng Yiping replied, "I can't think of anyone who can refuse you,"

"Hehe," Kidman smiled again.

She understood that if Feng Yiping talked to her in private in this case, it might have some other meanings, but Feng Yiping would say it in front of such people, it would be a compliment.

"Have you been to the outback of Australia before?"

"not at all,"

"Then you will be shocked, this continent has her unique charm,"

"So you are not only so beautiful," Feng Yiping looked at her generously from head to toe, "You are also so attractive,"

Malika has been leaning on a railing and looking far away. At this moment, hearing their conversation in the wind, she couldn't help but her mouth tightly. It seemed that he had never praised me so honestly?

She glanced over there because she was whiter? Or is it because she is blonde?

But wait, judging by the character of Feng Yiping that he is fairly familiar with, especially when it comes to such things, he is obviously not so outgoing.

So, is it because he doesn't have any thoughts about Kidman at all, that makes him feel jealous?

It must be!

Thinking of this, she suddenly became happy.

——Musk’s view is still correct. In many cases, we tend to believe in the possibility we wish to believe.

After hearing Feng Yiping’s compliment, Kidman was also very happy. She hugged Feng Yiping’s arm and shook it twice, "Thank you,"

Above the Harbour Bridge, belonged to another Australian media tycoon who is as famous as Murdoch, and also another "old friend" of China, the first Westerner to enter China's media and cultural industry, under the command of Kerry Stokes On the helicopter of Channel 7, Australia’s largest commercial television station, the location host was watching and commenting, “We can see that the youngest super-rich in the world, Mr. Feng from China, is on the top of the bridge. Obviously I am very satisfied with the beautiful scenery."

"The beauty of Sydney undoubtedly conquered Mr. Feng,"

At this moment, Kidman just held Feng Yiping's arm and shook it a few times, it looked like he was acting like a baby to Feng Yiping, and Feng Yiping turned to look at Kidman, his eyes were full of smiles. .

"Oh, it seems that it is not only the beauty of Sydney that conquered this Mr. Feng,"

When he said the previous sentence, he was very proud of his words, but when he said this sentence, he showed a little sourness.

Kidman, that is a well-known beauty in Australia, is Australia's most famous beauty in the world, and is much more influential than another female star, Naomi Watts, also from Australia.

For most Australian men, Kidman is an elusive existence, but now she is so close to Feng Yiping.

As a man, in his heart, there is indeed something unpleasant.

As if knowing what he was talking about, Feng Yiping and Kidman raised their heads at the same time and waved to them.

"At present, we only know that the film in which Kidman participated was invested by Mr. Feng's Netflix, but we still don't know whether he was here to understand the progress of the shooting or other commercial arrangements."

"We will continue to follow up related reports,"

…………

The footage taken by the helicopter on Australia Channel Seven was quickly presented to the public and was quickly posted on the Internet.

Therefore, many Australians quickly learned two things. Feng Yiping thinks Sydney is very beautiful and likes Sydney very much, and Feng Yiping thinks Nicole Kidman is very beautiful...

The latter one is not so pleasant.

Many men want to say to Feng Yiping, "Let go of the woman next to you and let me go,"

And many girls want to say to Kidman, "Let go of that little meat beside you, I will do it."

…………

Capital, Jiasheng Business Center, Schmidt sat in the office with a smile, listening to Zhao Yong's work report.

But if someone familiar with him is there, you know that he is a little absent-minded at this time.

Because he will look at the computer screen and mobile phone from time to time.

Zhao Yong was still a little aware of this, but he thought of Feng Yiping's words to himself, "He doesn't mention it, you don't ask, you should cooperate fully," so he pretended not to see it.

"...We are sure that our promotional videos will appear on all popular websites and forums by then,"

The focus of his report is naturally the upcoming promotion project of Google China.

"In addition to the foundation laid by the company’s colleagues over a year’s hard work, we are convinced that after the end of this promotion, our market share will definitely increase, at least, by 5%,"

This is a relatively conservative figure set after they passed a comprehensive assessment.

Schmidt's eyes suddenly lit up.

If this promotion is really going to be so good, then this is of course a bargaining chip that you can use as an exchange in the next negotiation.

Because according to the current pattern of the Chinese market, the search share on my own side has risen, and Robin’s share will decrease relatively.

"The company has invested a lot this time, and we must ensure that we can finally achieve all the expected goals," he encouraged.

He had already thought about it, and treated this promotion as a fist. As for whether to fight it out, it depends on Robin's reaction.

It's just that, why hasn't there been a reply to your own meeting proposal?

"With the help of Feng's company, we can definitely..."

"Wait," Schmidt waved his hand and clicked on the computer. "Haha," he laughed. "Look, Feng has become a hot spot in Australia."

Zhao Yong looked over and saw that it was an Australian website. What Schmidt was looking at at this time was a big picture. It was on the top of the Harbour Bridge. Kidman was holding Feng Yiping’s hand and the two laughed. The scene of staring at each other.

"These comments..." Schmidt shook his head, "I think such reports will appear on Chinese websites soon,"

…………

Wolf Factory, Robin, who Schmidt would have been thinking about, is holding a meeting with the listing team.

“We believe that Google China’s investment in this huge promotion campaign must be a perfect response. The IPO is imminent. We don’t want any situation that may affect our issue price and market value.” The wolf hurried from the United States The largest institutional shareholder of the factory and also their largest shareholder, the representative of Defengjie said solemnly.

DFJ currently has no plan to sell part of its shares for cash in the IPO. Therefore, they hope that this IPO will eventually have a higher issue price.

"Please rest assured, we already have a very targeted plan, and the effect will surely satisfy everyone," Liang Dong said actively.

Robin also nodded affirmatively, "Yes, we will win this kind of propaganda battle as before."

He has seen the final results of Liang Dong's team. From an artistic point of view, it may not be as high as those of the big directors, but it is indeed the same as Liang Dong said, and it is very targeted.

Although it is not very smart to do this, it will definitely be very effective. So, even if the style is a bit low and not too smart, so what?

His words are quite effective in dispelling investors' concerns.

Because all along, in similar propaganda, they have indeed stepped on other companies to come all the way.

In the minds of many investors, Robin knows not only technology but also marketing.

"Actually, I don't think this Google China promotion will have much adverse impact on our IPO," the representative of Goldman Sachs, one of the selected lead underwriters, is very optimistic.

"We are listed on the Nasdaq, mainly for investors in the U.S. and international sales, while Google China's promotion is only limited to China."

What he said is also very reasonable.

In terms of sales, they did not think too much about mainland China.

Due to foreign exchange controls, there are not many institutions and individuals in mainland China that can easily invest in companies listed in the United States.

"We are very optimistic about the established publicity strategy. In China, we want to emphasize the difference from Google. But for investors outside of China, we only have to say that this is China's Google. I think investors will rush to it. ,"

In the beginning, they set this strategy.

Google's IPO can be said to be an insurmountable benchmark for high-tech companies to go public, and it is the most exciting myth in the Internet industry in the past decade.

Not only did the amount of financing set a record at that time, in the face of Google’s rising stock price, individual and institutional investors who did not seize the opportunity to subscribe for Google’s stock for various reasons really regretted it.

If there is a Chinese "Google" listed now, you can imagine their enthusiasm.

Robin personally participated in the formulation of this IPO packaging strategy, ingeniously transforming investors "do you trust Baidu" into "why don't you trust Google,"

Not all investors can understand the meaning of the "Chinese" footnote in the "Google of China", but all investors certainly have no reason not to believe in Google.

Therefore, in the face of this strategy, no matter how Google China behaves, the success of their IPO is still guaranteed.

Unless the United States Google publicly questioned such a statement.

But in terms of Google’s usual practice, they obviously wouldn’t do such a thing.

"Everyone here understands the characteristics of the Internet. What happened in China will soon be known to the American people," said a representative of SoftBank.

"If Google China increases their market share through this promotion, I think it will definitely have a negative impact on our sales, so we still have to treat it with caution,"

Robin wanted to say another reason why he felt confident. At this point, Schmidt actually asked to meet with him.

By the way, the first time he heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh.

Because he can guess without thinking, Schmidt's purpose this time is nothing more than an acquisition.

This shows what? This shows that Google values ​​the company it founded, and it shows that Google, which looks very powerful at this time, is very afraid of its own company.

They worry that their company will pose a huge challenge to Google.

With Google getting nervous, how could the next sales be bad?

However, it is obviously not good to put this news on this occasion for discussion.

But after the meeting was over, he quickly let people know that he would be happy to meet Schmidt.

…………

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Schmidt appeared in the ideal building and was quickly picked upstairs.

"Hi Schmidt, you are welcome," Robin greeted him at the front desk.

This time, Schmidt finally saw the wolf factory in working condition, "This is a very energetic team,"

Nonsense, if the listing is successful, many people in this room will have a lot of net worth. How can they still be vigorous?

Robin didn’t introduce him to too many people. He took him to the office. He finally took the initiative in front of Google. He asked directly, “Schmidt, I really can’t guess your visit this time. The purpose, is it that Google, a shareholder, wants to help our IPO?"

Google's stake in Wolf Factory remains unchanged at 2.6%.

Schmidt laughed, "I must first reiterate that this visit is entirely my personal wish."

Is it just your personal wish? Robin was slightly disappointed.

"However, if the results of our discussions meet our expectations, then I think Google will be happy to admit that this is a company action,"

He was here to talk about the acquisition, and Robin was very sure at this time.

"Think about this time last year, that time, we were really not easy, IPO, it will really be a job that will make you exhausted," Schmidt said.

"I think you and your team must have a full understanding of this,"

"This is indeed a very difficult and challenging job, but my team and I are very happy to accept such challenges," Robin said.

"I think you must have a good understanding of this, Schmidt,"

Schmidt suddenly felt that Robin's state was very different from when he was in contact before, and his confidence was obviously much stronger.

"But we must be clear that there is a very big difference between IPO and our product development, how to develop a product that is popular with users, we have a very mature process and mechanism,"

"But in the IPO process, there are always too many irresistible factors. Until the end, we can never be sure whether it can be successfully listed."

"Even if it can be listed, we can't guarantee that it will fall below the issue price soon,"

"Because the stock market, speaking of it, is a place that often violates many economic laws. Not all companies that perform well, the stock price will perform accordingly,"

Schmidt felt that his own foreshadowing was enough, and he could somewhat see that the other party seemed to be waiting for him to say that.

"So Robin, I solemnly propose that instead of expending huge manpower and material resources to pursue such uncertain results, why not consider giving up the listing and let us acquire?"

"Or, let us expand our investment in you?"

"We know that for this IPO, your minimum issuance price is $17. If you agree with my proposal, I can guarantee that Google will buy it at $20."

"Schmidt, I think this offer is quite insincere," Robin shook his head. "First of all, as you know, $17 is our lowest price."

"Secondly, according to the prevailing rules, when purchasing, the premium is generally at least 20%. It is based on $17, which is more than $20. Are you right?"

Schmidt was ecstatic at this time.

Robin's response made him happy!

He thinks the offer is low, what does this mean? This shows that he does consider being acquired.

Although he was overjoyed in his heart, on the surface, he still smiled faintly, and behaved very well.

"Robin, I think that my offer is actually full of sincerity,"

"First of all, a premium of 20% is not a general rule, that is, a premium of 20% is not much different from the price I promised and can be completely ignored."

That's a difference of $0.4 per share. How can it be ignored? But he said so.

Anyway, compared with the Chinese, the Americans are not good at math, everyone knows.

"Secondly ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although the U.S. dollar is your lowest issue price, who can guarantee that after listing, will it soon fall below this lowest issue price?"

"After all, similar situations have occurred more than once, haven't they?"

Robin's face was a little ugly.

He is not superstitious, but when Schmidt said this when he was preparing to go public, he really couldn't be happy.

But Schmidt's words are not over yet.

"There is another factor we need to consider. Abandoning the listing means that we have saved a lot of money, doesn't it? Apart from other things, we all know that every roadshow is expensive."

Robin interrupted him who was still a little bit more interested, "Schmidt, thank you for thinking about us, but I want to tell you that our listing is like spilled water and cannot be collected."

what? Schmidt really doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

If you have no intention of being acquired, what about your bargaining just now?

"And we are pretty sure that we can only issue our stocks at the highest price, not the lowest price. After our stock is listed, it will only rise, not fall," he stood up a little excited.

At this time, Schmidt's face was unusually ugly. He remembered what Feng Yiping would say. Finding this to talk about acquisitions might be the same as when Semel of Yahoo found Google to talk about acquisitions.

He also stood up, without a smile on his face, "I don't know, are you clearer, not all search companies can become Google,"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense in the harmonious office a few minutes ago.
