Chapter 250 Make it bigger
Qin Shaoyan was startled at first when he heard Taylor's statement, and then became a little confused.
Taylor's attitude is very interesting.
Qin Shaoyan previously pushed YouTube to acquire Kuaibo. YouTube was still very active, and Fred also felt that this was a good opportunity to hype the valuation.
As a shareholder of YouTube, Taylor should be happy to see the results. The increase in project valuation is all due to performance.
But Taylor acted indifferently and seemed not to care about this matter at all.
Faced with Qin Shaoyan’s face-to-face questioning today, Taylor said that I appreciate what you did, but I’m not optimistic about it.
Don’t you think it’s a good ghost?
Why do you appreciate it if you don’t like it?
Listen to what nonsense you are saying.
Qin Shaoyan took a deep breath and asked solemnly: "Why are you not optimistic about it? What is the reason?"
Taylor shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "Some people don't want the YouTube acquisition to be completed, no matter the acquisition Or was it acquired?"
"Water?" Qin Shaoyan frowned, "Who is this person referring to?"
Taylor paused, "Microsoft."
Qin Shaoyan was shocked, "What does this have to do with Microsoft? Davis?"
"Taylor, have you been in contact with Davis recently?"
Tyler suddenly laughed, "You haven't been able to contact him lately, right?"
"Huh?" Qin Shaoyan frowned, "What happened to Davis? Do you know anything?"
"I know some, but not much." Taylor seemed to be gloating, "Davis has been in some trouble recently. , he can no longer care about anything else."
"Trouble?" Qin Shaoyan had several thoughts in his mind.
The first thought is that Davis went in, so the loss of contact makes sense.
But it’s not right to think about it. If Davis really went in, there would be no news at all. At least Fred would get wind of it.
Although Davis is not a rich man, he can still be regarded as a diamond-level executive. He has his own full-time lawyer and can get out quickly even after entering.
The second is that Davis is seriously ill and unable to handle business.
If he was really seriously ill, there was no need for Taylor to be secretive.
The third reason is that Davis took the initiative to block contact with Qin Shaoyan, which is a bit intriguing.
It doesn’t make sense logically.
Davis and Qin Shaoyan have no grievances, and in terms of interests, the two sides should be consistent.
It would be good for everyone if YouTube’s valuation increased. He had no reason to block the acquisition.
Even if the acquisition is fake, it is still good to hype it up.
What’s even weirder is that the order to cancel the negotiations was not given by Davis, but by a guy named Steve Bowman.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyan seemed to understand. He suddenly asked: "What on earth does Steve Bowman want to do?!"
"Hey, you already know." Taylor was a little surprised.
Qin Shaoyan said righteously, "Tyler, no matter what this Steve Bowman guy wants to do, he is harming our interests, and you can't stand idly by."
"You are also a shareholder of YouTube."
"We only hold 10% of the shares." Taylor smiled, and then persuaded, "This is an internal matter at Microsoft. I think it's better for you to leave it alone."
Qin Shaoyan smiled angrily, What do you mean I shouldn't care too much.
I don’t care at all who lives and who dies in your internal fights, but don’t affect my uncle’s ability to make money!
Qin Shaoyan said angrily: "I don't care what's going on with Davis and Steve Bowman, but they are harming everyone's interests."
"Microsoft also owns YouTube. Shareholders! Do they even want to harm their own interests?”
Taylor said nonchalantly, "That's Microsoft's interest, not theirs."
"What's more, what if the acquisition is successful? So what if YouTube's valuation reaches one billion dollars?"< br>
"Microsoft only holds 10% of the shares, which is only 100 million US dollars. Do you think they care?"
Qin Shaoyan was speechless because he thought what Taylor said made sense. .
The interests of the company and the interests of individuals are not consistent. As long as it can defeat the opponent, it does not matter if it harms the interests of the company.
Qin Shaoyan felt that Taylor was hopeless. He thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "How can I contact Davis."
"What if I can contact him?" Taylor asked casually .
"At least we can be considered friends." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "There is an old saying in China, it doesn't matter whether the business is successful or not, but there is still some friendship."
"If you meet I would also care about you in a similar situation." Taylor was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I'll give you a call and try it yourself."
"Thank you." Qin Shaoyan quickly wrote down a set of phone numbers.
"Good luck to you." Taylor then hung up the phone.
Qin Shaoyan immediately tried to dial the number, and after a while the call was connected.
“Who is it?” Davis’ tired voice came from inside.
“I am John.” Qin Shaoyan replied, “The boss of TNB Company, the founder of Facebook and YouTube, Qin Shaoyan.”
"Oh, my God." Davis was very surprised, "It's you, John, how did you know this number?"
"Taylor gave it to me." Qin Shaoyan interrupted the other party, He asked directly, "Davis, what happened?"
"I have been contacting you these days, but I can't get through the phone at all."
Davis was angry. Said: "These sons of bitches, they raided my office and bribed my secretary."
"That bitch Amy, I usually treat her so well, but she betrayed me .”
"I only found out two days ago that my secretary has been passing news to my enemy, Fake!"
Qin Shaoyan was speechless for a moment, why did the company's internal fighting become Infernal Affairs.
"How are you doing now?" Qin Shaoyan asked with concern.
“It’s not that bad.” Davis said, “They didn’t find anything.”
“That’s good.” Qin Shaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, “Now the YouTube project Are you still in charge?”
"Of course!" Davis snorted coldly, "This is my project, no one can take it away!"
"Then who is Steve Bowman?" Qin Shaoyan asked.
"Huh?" Davis seemed a little surprised, "Why did you mention Steve Bowman?"
Qin Shaoyan was a little confused, "Is he your enemy?"< br>
“No, not before.” Davis hesitated, “He is not from our investment department at all.”
Qin Shaoyan felt that things were getting more and more complicated. This Steve Bowman was not from the investment department, so why was he messing around?
"Then where did he come from?" Qin Shaoyan suddenly became angry.
"He is the CEO of MSNVideo." Davis said slowly.
Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, what the hell is MSNVideo?
"Waterfak? What is MSNVideo?"
Davis hesitated, "It is considered a competitor of YouTube. As far as I know, Google also has a similar department called Google Video."
Qin Shaoyan was very annoyed, "Then how did this bullshit MSNVideo get involved in the investment department? Yes, and why he wants to block our acquisition."
"It's simple," Davis sighed and said slowly, "MSNVideo wants to acquire YouTube."
"I think. The acquisition is very simple, just buy it with money!" Qin Shaoyan said angrily.
“MSNVideo feels that YouTube’s valuation is a bit inflated.” Davis said.
What is this?
I want the goods, but I don’t want to give you the money?
Qin Shaoyan emphasized, "Microsoft is a shareholder of YouTube, and they are harming the company's interests by doing this!"
Davis smiled bitterly, "Who cares."
You have your KPIs, I have my OKRs.
The interests of the investment department have nothing to do with us at MSNVideo.
Qin Shaoyan said categorically: "Then we can't let them infringe on the company's interests like this. We must stop this kind of insect behavior."
"How can we be together with this group of insects? What about Microsoft?”
Davis was a little confused when he heard Qin Shaoyan’s impassioned speech. Why are you more excited than me?
Qin Shaoyan encouraged, "Bill Gates and I are friends, so I can speak on this matter."
"NO..." Davis hesitated for a moment, "Isn't that necessary?"
I'm afraid Bill Gates won't care about such trivial matters between departments. Such a leap-frogging complaint is common in any country. Very unwise behavior.
"John, wait a minute." Davis persuaded, "The matter has not reached that point yet."
Qin Shaoyan quickly followed suit, "You are right, for this reason There is no need to disturb Bill with small things."
"So we have to make things bigger."
"Huh?!" Davis was stunned.
"John, what are you doing?!"
