Chapter 1222 See you again
As for shares and value, he has to go backwards in his heart.
Seeing that Yang Zhiyuan was silent, Xu Liang continued to add weight to the other party's heart.
"Swap your 3.9% stake in Yahoo with equity in Yahoo Email and Yahoo Social Assets, and then inject it into Facebook and replace it with all Facebook equity.
As the market share of Google's search market and online advertising continues to increase, Yahoo's market value will continue to decline.
Facebook is ahead of the social track, with the company's users increasing by several hundred million every year, and its valuation doubled.
Let go of Yahoo and have an explanation for past partners and shareholders. Even if there is any problem in the future, no one will choose your fault. This is everyone's common choice. You are just the person who signed the signature.
Bring Yahoo Email and Yahoo Social Assets to invest in Facebook, and start a business and grow together with Facebook.
For you, this is a second entrepreneurship, an opportunity to re-prove your Jerry Young.
You are not just an investor or shareholder, but our partners and co-founders. ”
Yang Zhiyuan nodded. He was now truly feeling Xu Liang's sincerity. The other party wanted to help him, and perhaps he had some selfishness, but he was definitely not like some guys outside. He saw Yahoo's bloody wounds and wanted to pounce on him and bite him.
"Are you sure Microsoft can agree to such a plan?"
Yang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Although they value Yahoo's search and portal business the most, they have a Hotmail email.
In the global market, Hotmail and Yahoo Email are basically on the same side, with more than 200 million users.
But in the most valuable U.S. market, Yahoo Mail ranked first, with nearly 100 million users, twice the number of Hotmail Mail, ranked second and four times the number of Google Gmail, ranked third. ”
Xu Liang smiled and said, "So, you need to communicate and coordinate.
If Microsoft really disagrees, we have alternatives. ”
"What alternative?"
Zhiyuan Yang leaned forward and leaned back.
Xu Liang said slowly, "Ali's equity."
Yang Zhiyuan's eyes widened, and then he suddenly realized.
...
After chatting with Zhiyuan Yang, it was already late at night.
Xu Liang originally planned to keep him in the guest room for one night, but he refused.
Back in the bedroom, Helen lay on the bedside reading a book.
Watch him come in.
"Jerry Young is gone?"
"Yeah."
After taking a shower, Xu Liang went to bed and lay next to him.
"Are you still interested in Yahoo's social assets?"
"Of course. But the $2 billion price is too expensive, I can't accept it." As if thinking of something, Helen turned her head, "Did Jerry give you new conditions?"
Xu Liang nodded, "He joined Facebook with Yahoo Social Assets and Yahoo Email to serve as the chairman of the group."
"Did you agree?"
"Not yet. Facebook is a company you founded, and I have to respect your opinion on this matter. However, I tend to agree."
"Why?"
"It's simple. As Facebook continues to grow and grow, the trend of becoming the largest social networking website in the United States and even the entire West is becoming more and more obvious.
It is no longer appropriate for me, a Chinese, to continue to serve as the chairman of Facebook.
Helen, you know the rules of operating this country better than me.
It seems open, but it is actually conservative.
Positions in top large companies must not be left to outsiders, especially Chinese.
For the healthy future development of Facebook, further reducing my mark in this company is the most reasonable choice.
Although Jerry is Chinese, he is American.
In addition, he has experience as Yahoo CEO, and his role as Facebook chairman is an acceptable choice for everyone.
More importantly, Facebook can further grow by obtaining Yahoo's social assets.
This is the best of both worlds. ”
Helen looked at him, "Why do I think this is not Jerry Young's idea, but more like yours?"
This girl is getting harder to fool.
To push Jerry Yang to the position of Facebook’s chairman is certainly for Facebook’s healthy future development, and more importantly, to check and balance Helen.
As the chairman of Facebook, his presence within the company is too low.
Most of the middle and senior executives in the company were promoted by Helen.
He is only giving advice behind his back. The only senior executive with a better relationship within Facebook is the former CEO of Netflix, now the co-president of Facebook and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings.
Too thin.
Moreover, if you want to talk about how loyal he is to him, you have to draw a question mark.
Therefore, he hopes to push Jerry Yang to the position of Facebook chairman.
Compared to Helen, Jerry Yang must be closer to him.
Of course, these thoughts cannot be expressed.
Xu Liang's face was still shy, "If you hadn't asked Yahoo for a price, Lao Yang wouldn't have come up with such negotiation conditions.
Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it. ”
"No, I do.
Email is our weakness.
Yahoo Email is the most used in the English-speaking market and is also the dominant world. If we can acquire it, it will greatly enrich our business defects.
There is also Flickr, currently the largest photo sharing website in the United States.
These assets are of high value and are also suitable for Facebook.
The only question is, if it is too high, I won’t accept it. ”
"This can be discussed. I believe that Jerry Yang will offer a price that satisfies both parties."
——
No. 2104 Dune Road, Silicon Valley.
Xu Liang looked at the Hanhua Silicon Valley branch that had restored order.
"All sorted out?"
"At present, the Silicon Valley offices of three subsidiaries, Hanhua Securities, Hanhua Capital and Hanhua Asset Management, have moved here.
Hanhua Trust is recruiting suitable employees, and Jupiter Fund, Qinglong Fund, and Pacific Fund will all send a working group to contact customers. ”
Lin Junrui, the rotating president of Hanhua Silicon Valley Branch and president of Hanhua Capital Silicon Valley Office, said respectfully.
With Hanhua's business expanding and reintegrating.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Hanhua Silicon Valley has established a branch, and the branches operate independently and do not interfere with each other.
The president of the office and takes turns as the president of the branch for one year.
Rotation after one year.
The president's responsibility is mainly to regulate differences in various offices, promote cooperation between each other, and act as a supervisory role.
"Where is the incubator?" Xu Liang continued to ask.
"The startups that have moved in the past are very happy, with larger space, more complete facilities and better conditions."
With the development of Hanhua, its reputation has become increasingly larger, and the Silicon Valley incubators that are crowded with Hanhua Capital's Silicon Valley office are gradually insufficient.
In order to develop better, the company bought a piece of land and built a new Hanhua Silicon Valley entrepreneurial incubator.
Twenty thousand square meters of space are enough.
"Let your people go around more often, and don't be poached good projects by outsiders because they are far away."
"Yes."
Li Jinling walked over quickly, "Mr. Xu, Ballmer is here."
Xu Liang nodded, "Let's go and pick me up."
He brought the man downstairs, and under the instructions of Old Gates, Ballmer, who flew over from Seattle, pushed open the back door of the Mercedes-Benz and walked down.
After the two sides shook hands.
"Mr. Xu, Bill told me, thank you for mediating for Microsoft."
Xu Liang looked at the old man with a smile on his face. Last year, the other party came to buy Android with a fierce look.
After being rejected by me, I even slapped the table with me. I was a very strong person.
It also made him have a bad impression of this person.
However, business is a business after all, so it is better not to mix too many personal emotions.
"Bill is my friend, and I don't mind helping you as much as I can."
"Bill is his honor to have friends like you."
Xu Liang glanced at the fake smirk on his face, too lazy to be polite.
"Mr. Ballmer, please come in."
"Please."
Walking into the conference room, Xu Liang and Hanhua Silicon Valley office executives sat on one side of the long table, Ballmer and the Microsoft side sat on the other side of the long table, looking at each other.
"Mr. Ballmer, since Mr. Gates has told you everything, let's just be more straightforward today, right?"
Ballmer smiled softly, "No problem, I'm very interested in your plan."
At present, Yahoo has authorized Hanhua to become their consultant in the merger and acquisition negotiations with Microsoft under the opposition of Zhiyuan Yang.
"Splitting Yahoo, Jerry Young's 3.9% Yahoo equity is converted into shares in Yahoo Email, Yahoo social assets, including photo sharing website Flickr, social calendar website Upcoming, and social bookmark website Delicious.
Yahoo Email and Yahoo social assets belong to Facebook.
10.76% of Alibaba's equity belongs to Hanhua Capital and Alibaba's management, and all the remaining assets belong to you, including portals, search business, etc. ”
Ballmer nodded slightly, not in a hurry to express his opinion.
After thinking for a while, "I guess you were convinced by Jerry through this plan?"
Xu Liang: "The word persuasion is not accurate, Jerry just said to consider it.
Maybe he is taking the idea of introducing us to get Microsoft to raise the offer?
What do you think, Mr. Ballmer? ”
"Haha, Xu, you are so humorous. Hanhua, Facebook, and Alibaba should not be able to save Yahoo, which is trapped in the quagmire. On this planet, except for Microsoft, only Google should be qualified."
Xu Liang smiled indifferently, "Hongmeng also has portal websites and Internet search businesses. If Bing acquires Yahoo Search and Sina acquires Yahoo Portal, do you think the stock prices of both of us will rise sharply?"
Ballmer's face changed.
Yahoo's portal business is the overlord of the US and Western Internet portals, while Sina is the overlord of the China and Southeast Asia portals.
If the two sides join forces, they will definitely lead in a cliff.
Not to mention the search business, Bing is definitely the king of the global search field, that is, Google is the leader in the English-speaking market.
If you gain Yahoo's share in the search field, you may not be able to completely win the English market with Bing's technology and experience.
"Mr. Xu, Hongmeng's foundation in the United States is too weak. Even if you take down Yahoo, you will not have the chance to make it.
Because you offended Microsoft and Google at the same time. ”
Xu Liang looked at Ballmer with a firm tone and did not upset with this old guy. The other party kept talking like this, and was so strong that he almost showed no mercy.
