The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

They didn't eat before the meeting. After the meeting, Little Jack and others obviously had no intention of eating. Although the introduction of strong partners this time will definitely lead to a continuous rise in Google's stock price, although the Google shares in their hands have been diluted, instead of losing money, they have made huge profits, and they have no regrets in their hearts. Happy.

But no matter how frustrated you are, there is nothing you can do about it. Google must develop, and there are a lot of pursuers behind it. Google's failure to seize the opportunity to develop rapidly is another example of Yahoo.

Not to mention that industry giants like Microsoft and Intel have stumbled. When faced with such development opportunities, even if Yang Dongxu brings a plate of shit, they have to hold their noses and eat it.

Yang Dongxu gave them a chance, and even brought in Sandwei and others to help them, but in the end their performance was still so disappointing. No wonder Yang Dongxu diluted their shares.

However, they felt aggrieved, and little Jack and others still had a doubt in their minds. After being suppressed so severely by Morgan before, Yang Dongxu finally only used 4G technology to support Locke in the communications field, and did not let him enter Google.

Similarly, in the previous crises that Google encountered in its development, even if Little Jack and others could not handle them, Yang Dongxu had transactions with other consortiums, and the two parties had nothing to do with each other after the cooperation.

After all, they are afraid of bringing in other large consortiums to join Google. Yang Dongxu is undoubtedly also afraid of this. Otherwise, there is no need for him to cooperate with down-and-out consortiums like Little Jack and big non-U.S. forces like William. Instead, he goes directly to the Morgan consortium and Citibank. It would be better if we don't cooperate.

Therefore, Yang Dongxu's uncharacteristic opening up of the big pie of Google obviously has other purposes. However, Yang Dongxu obviously had no intention of telling them this purpose and could only guess by himself, which made several people feel scratched in their hearts.

After all, I have cooperated with Yang Dongxu for so long. I don’t know anything else. Whenever Yang Dongxu makes a major decision, it is certain that his purpose is very big.

Little Jack and others were right in guessing that Yang Dongxu’s purpose in letting go of Google so generously this time was indeed true.

The fundamental reason for letting go is that Jack and others are too incompetent. Apart from anything else, development has stagnated since Google acquired YouTube.

If you say that it is because of a development bottleneck that the progress is temporarily stagnant, Yang Dongxu will still be able to survive. Google ranks first in the world in terms of searchability, and after the advent of the Android system, it has also kept pace with the development of smartphones.

You want to say that Google has problems with its own development, and Yang Dongxu can still tolerate the stagnant development. It can be said that Google wants core business and core competitiveness, and it also keeps pace with the times and does not fall behind.

As a result, Google's seemingly prosperous development has stagnated, which is obviously a big problem. Some consortiums have formed a tacit understanding to join forces to squeeze Google's development space, but Jack and others are unable to break the situation.

These people are useless and other competitors are catching up. Yang Dongxu has no choice but to introduce the tiger of the consortium to break the situation. Although he is seeking skin from a tiger, he might not be able to make a wedding dress for someone else.

But compared to being surpassed by other peers if this development continues, and Google's trump card becomes useless, it is better to take a risk. If you lose, it makes no difference whether your trump card becomes a useless card. If you win, you will definitely make a profit.

And since you have let go, don't be petty and let go of everything at once. Other peers are already close to touching Google's butt, so they must improve quickly.

So Yang Dongxu simply diluted the shares held by Jack and others, took out part of his own shares, and directly introduced Citibank in one step.

The reason why Yang Dongxu introduced Citibank instead of other American consortiums was mainly because of Citibank's commercial nature and influence.

For example, after the introduction of Citibank, the rope restraining Google's development will be instantly opened. Whether it is search business or Android system, it can instantly dominate the European and American markets.

In addition to Honor's Pangu system and Apple system, Android can definitely secure its position as the top three smartphone operating systems. And not to mention the brand identity and influence, if we just talk about share, Android can even be the first in the world.

Because both Honor and Apple’s operating systems are only compatible with their own phones, while the Android operating system is compatible with all smartphones in the world.

No matter how good Honor and Apple's mobile phones are, if they can jointly capture 40% of the global mobile phone market, it will be overwhelming. The remaining several hundred brands of smartphones account for 60% of the market share, which is equivalent to the 60% market share of the Android operating system.

In addition to these two, YouTube can also conquer cities and territories around the world, directly taking Twitter at its feet. The newly launched Google Maps business can also quickly open up the situation and prepare for the subsequent GPS navigation business.

Of course, there are advantages to introducing Citibank, but the disadvantages of introducing Citibank are also very obvious. This consortium, which is a commercial giant with both military and political powers, is really too powerful.

In particular, its business field is a great help and a great threat. If Yang Dongxu does not do well, it is very likely that Yang Dongxu will be directly eliminated from Google.

However, this will be a few years later after Citibank has established a firm foothold in Google. For now, the introduction of Citibank can directly give Google wings to take off and directly distance itself from its peers to maintain its leading advantage.

Of course, although Citibank is very strong, there are many benefits to bringing it in. But if you want to get shares of Google, you must pay real money. For example, Google's current market value is about US$120 billion.

The current share of Google that can be sold to Citibank is between 10% and 11%. Even if it is calculated at 10%, Citibank will still have to spend US$12 billion in real money.

Judging from the current negotiation results, this share will be acquired at a premium, so the number will be more or less.

As for being able to put in so much effort and acquire shares in Google at a premium, will Citibank lose money?

There is no doubt that this is not a loss at all, but a huge gain. Not to mention that Google's market value will exceed one trillion in the future, and Citibank's investment will return at least one billion.

Just the increase in Google's share price after Citibank took a stake in Google cannot be compared to this premium. And after the stock price rises, every improvement in Google's business will stimulate the stock price to continue to rise.

After such efforts, it is a bit exaggerated to say that the investment will directly double, but it will be easy to make billions of dollars in a year or two. Even if Citibank is a world-class consortium, they can wake up laughing when they earn billions of dollars from a single investment. What's more, such a low-risk investment is simply a good thing that you can't find even with a lantern.

"In addition to developing Google, do you have other purposes for bringing in Citibank so vigorously this time?" On the way back, Dai'er asked the questions in the minds of Little Jack and others.

"Google's development opportunity has come up, so we must seize it, otherwise it will cost ten times the price to succeed. In addition, I need to be more obedient and reduce some pressure on other aspects. At the same time, I also need to do other things for others. We need to lay the groundwork for project expansion first." Yang Dongxu gave a general answer without going into details, and Dai'er also knew how to do it and didn't ask in detail.
