Unparalleled True Technology

After lunch, there is not much time for Wen Ming to rest. He still needs to take a look at the information about Li Jiacheng before the negotiation starts.

Although the name of the richest man in China in this world is similar to that in another world, they are not the same person after all, and some experiences are still different.

By 2:20 in the afternoon, the negotiators sent by Li Jiacheng had arrived at Apple's headquarters. After being received by Lilith for a while, the negotiations started on time at 2:30.

"Mr. Wen, you can call me Carter, or my Chinese name, Xie De."

Xie De is the person in charge of the Lijiacheng delegation this time. After some self-introduction, Wen Ming knew that this Huaxia person was a professional manager of Lijiacheng's private investment fund. He was in charge of capital operations of more than 3 billion US dollars in Lijiacheng.

Facebook participated in this four-party merger and acquisition of An, with a total capital of 1 billion US dollars. Even a world-class rich man like Li Jiacheng, it is impossible to randomly send a light-weight subordinate to take charge.

After hearing Xie De's self-introduction, Wen Ming's first reaction was why this person introduced his English name first, Xie De... If it is pronounced according to Mandarin, it is very similar to an English word that is swearing. .

Xie De said confidently: "Mr. Wen, my boss admires what you have achieved so far. He asked me to pass on his wish to meet you. You know, for his current status, Said, if you want to come to see you in person, there may be a lot of trouble."

Wen Ming smiled and said, "If I have the opportunity to go to Hong Kong, I will definitely visit Mr. Li Jiacheng."

Wen Ming only believed one-tenth of what Xie De said. It is impossible for Li Jiacheng to admire himself. For a person like him who has created a personal wealth of more than 30 billion U.S. dollars from scratch, no one in this world is worthy of his admiration .

At most, it's just appreciation.

The real intention of Xie De's words is to show that his boss, Li Jiacheng, far exceeds Wen Ming in terms of social status and wealth.

Although you have made some achievements, you are far behind my boss. If you want to meet my boss, you have to pay a visit. The underlying meaning is to suppress Wen Ming at the beginning.

Hearing Wen Ming's reply, Xie De smiled politely, and he also heard Wen Ming's meaning: My company is in the United States, and it may not have any intersection with Hong Kong, so your boss's social status is actually the same as mine. It doesn't matter much.

After beating around the bush, we got to the point.

Scheider continued: "Regarding the four-party merger and acquisition case we participated in this time, we hope that you can re-examine Apple's real appeal."

Schneider took out a document, handed it to Lilith, and introduced: "In Facebook's historical financing process, Mark Zuckerberg was almost harsh on the choice of investors. He rejected Sequoia Capital. , Softbank and other powerful consortiums invest more in personal financing.”

Wen Ming took the materials, and what he saw were those that Xie De was introducing.

Scheider added: "And my boss, in the history of Facebook's financing, did not participate in a large number of shares. However, my boss is now the only shareholder with priority financing rights."

Hearing this, Wen Ming already understood what Xie De meant. If Li Jiacheng was unwilling to accept Apple's conditions, then there would be no way to negotiate this round of financing. The impact is that Facebook is temporarily unable to acquire ins.

Although Facebook can choose another investor because of Li Jiacheng's abandonment, not everyone can accept the $1 billion offer from ins, and not everyone can become Mark Zuckerberg's partner.

On this point, what Schneider said before, when Mark Zuckerberg chooses investors, he almost always chooses the subjective factors of individual investors.

Just for the present threat.

To sum up, if Lijiacheng withdraws, then, ins can find a seller in a short time.

Wen Ming was completely unmoved, and even put aside the unfinished materials, and asked with a smile: "Do you know how much Teresa Roy wants Facebook shares?"

According to Apple's previous demands, Teresa Roy has no way to get Facebook shares. But if Li Jiacheng gives up, then Teresa Roy can completely accept the 2.1% Facebook shares that should have been sold to Li Jiacheng, and he only needs to pay 400 million US dollars, which is less than the 500 million US dollars that Li Jiacheng needs to pay. Because Teresa Roy has a 10% stake in ins.

As for whether Facebook is willing to make Teresa Roy their shareholder, I believe Teresa Roy has a solution. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to chase Wen Ming to get shares.

Scheider smiled and said, "Of course we know that Mr. Teresa Roy is very eager to get Facebook's shares, and we also know that he has a way to get Facebook's approval."

The conversation changed suddenly, and Xie De put away his smile, and said: "However, Mr. Wen Ming, you should notice a problem, that is, my boss is already a shareholder of Facebook, and he has some opinions about some of Facebook's decisions. Voting rights. Moreover, my boss and other shareholders of Facebook have a very good relationship.”

Wen Ming narrowed his eyes, and listened to Xie De continue to say: "The ins product can be so favored by Facebook because it has already occupied most of the mobile phone photo sharing software market. However, this product is not There's not much technical content."

"What do you think, if we continue to discuss financing with Facebook, but the money from this financing is used to invest in another ins-like product?"

When Xie De talked about it now, he was already desperate.

"Mr. Wen Ming, do you think that based on Facebook's user base, when it starts to promote a photo-sharing application on mobile phones, how much market will your ins have?"

The value of Ins is because of the more than 30 million registered users and close to 30 million active users. But if these users are taken away by other software, ins will be worthless.

Wen Ming didn't smile anymore, but he wasn't angry either. He had expected this kind of situation. Even when the ins was just released, he thought that Facebook might release the same type of software to seize his market, or, yes Other companies release the same type of software to seize his market.

In fact, the same type of software already exists on the market, but it has not been scaled up because it has not received investment.

Keeping calm, Wen Ming asked: "Then, Mr. Xie De, why do you think Facebook bought my ins in the first place instead of developing general-type software to compete with us for the market?"

Wen Ming's counterattack seemed a bit inauthentic, because he used the Mandarin pronunciation to address Xie De. What's even more shameless is that he deliberately made his Mandarin pronunciation not very standard, so that the pronunciation of the last German character is very close to the pronunciation of the special character.

However, from Wen Ming's point of view, you have threatened me directly, why can't I scold you?

Who is afraid of whom?

Anyway, I am only 19 years old with this identity, so it’s a big deal that I’m young and frivolous!
