Chapter 1471 Changes
In the garage of Hampstown Manor, there are spare cars purchased by Wheatret and the GT sports car sent by Smith Jr., which are all prepared for use by Chen Chu when he arrives.
As the top steward, Whesrit has always been meticulous. Not only is he outstanding in MBA business management, but he is naturally not a problem in managing a manor, otherwise he would not charge such a high fee every year.
Not only the vehicles in the garage, but also in the hangar behind the manor, a small aircraft for short flights is also parked.
Looking at Chen Meng's figure as he was leaving, Chen Chu said to Wheelite with a headache, "In the future, Chen Meng is in North America, and you still need more care!"
Judging from today's situation, Chen Chu also knew that it would be impossible to count on Smith Jr. and Robert Kingsso to see Chen Meng. Larry Songsini was fine, but he was too busy. Except for the law firm in charge of his Silicon Valley, the rest of the time was basically dealing with the entire Chuke Technology global legal litigation, as well as various public relations, so that he could see Chen Meng and had to let go.
Hearing Chen Chu's words, Wheater looked at Chen Meng, and just smiled, "She is just a little free and easy by nature, and it's nothing in North America!"
He has also experienced several employers and has been in contact with the upper class and wealthy families of North America for many years. However, he knows what kind of virtues the young people in North America are. In recent years, the media and the Internet have developed, which has caused many people to restrain themselves, otherwise he would not know how ridiculous it would be.
Chen Chu shook his head, looked at Whesrit and said, "Chen Meng is in North America for the past few years, you should try more, and you should go back to China at that time!"
Whesrit understood what Chen Chu meant, and asked Chen Meng to return to China after graduating from college here and sent her here to temper her temperament and broaden her horizons. She did not have high requirements for Chen Meng. If she got into some bad habits, then Chen Chu would probably not be able to explain to Chen Guohua and Mrs. Zhou.
With Whislitt taking care of her, Chen Chu could be more at ease. Compared to Smith, Robert Kingsso and others, Whislitt has a wider connection. Even if there is anything, he can keep it in the bottom of his mind!
Chen Meng, who had been walking around the garage, had it not been late at this time, maybe she would have driven her car outside and swayed.
After driving a golf cart, Chen Meng pulled Bai Molu and headed towards the horse farm and mountain bike track behind the manor, preparing to experience the horse farm.
Bai Molu glanced at Chen Chu, and then was pulled into the car by Chen Meng, and Chen Chu asked An Luzheng to follow him.
"sit!"
Chen Chu asked Wheelite to sit down and saw that Chen Chu and Wheelite had something to talk about. Andre and Igors, who had taught a lot of rules in the past year and a half, retreated with a wink.
Chen Chu got up, took a bottle of wine from the bar next to the open-air swimming pool, poured a glass of wine for Wheatriet. Chen Chu raised his glass and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period!"
"I should do it!" Wheatret still stood up, but he raised his glass and took a sip, keeping the rules at any time.
Seeing Whislit's appearance, Chen Chu just laughed. It was hard to tell that the decades of stewardship's career has made Whislit's current personality, and he was still like this.
However, it is obvious that Whisrit's career is definitely successful, and it is no wonder that many people want to invite him over, and Chen Chu is indeed relieved about Whisrit.
Thinking of what the media reporter asked about when they were at the airport today, Chen Chu looked at Wheelite, "Is there something wrong with Microsoft and Yahoo?"
Wheatret is definitely qualified. Originally, Wheatret was not particularly concerned about the Internet and technology. However, since entering the North American Trust Fund, Wheatret specially hired professors from New York University to make up for the professional knowledge of the Internet and technology industries. It is not said that he is proficient, but Wheatret is definitely familiar with the first Internet, technology trends, and the global Internet market.
With Whislit's age now, everyone else has already gone home to hold his grandchildren or enjoy his old age. He can still do this, which is enough to see Whislit's ability and perseverance.
Hearing Chen Chu ask about this, Wheater said directly, "Yahoo's attitude is much tougher than Microsoft imagines. The asking price of Yahoo's current president Carol Butz is too high. It has now exceeded 55 billion US dollars. Microsoft is already a little desperate about this acquisition!"
The Yahoo Board of Directors and Carol Butz’s asking price is too harsh. In nearly half a year, the acquisition price has increased by more than 10 billion US dollars, from the original 46 billion US dollars to the current 56 billion US dollars. It is said that Carol Butz is not satisfied, which makes Microsoft feel deterred.
The acquisition of Yahoo was one of Ballmer's big moves after he replaced Bill Gates to lead Microsoft, but now Microsoft also feels like he is trapped in a quagmire.
Looking at Chen Chu, Whesrit hesitated for a moment, and said to Chen Chu, "Chan, you come to North America this time, I also think you are here to solve this problem!"
Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that someone was probably deliberately making a sound, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity when Chen Chu came to take advantage of the opportunity to catch up with the troubled waters.
As for whether it is Yahoo, Microsoft, or a third-party organization led by Wall Street, Chen Chu couldn't guess for a moment, but it was nothing more than these parties.
Chuke Technology is still one of the nominal joint acquirers, forming a joint acquirer for Yahoo with Microsoft. When the news first came out, it was a global shock. It is known as the Century Merger and Acquisition, which is comparable to the merger and acquisitions of AOL and Time Warner.
But almost half a year has passed, and there is still a loud thunder and small rain, and it will not rain, which makes the media reporting on this matter feel boring. Yahoo, like Taotie, cannot feed it, and continues to increase the purchase price. Microsoft has gone from being excited to not reacting now.
When Microsoft acquired Yahoo and Chuke Technology acquired Sina, it was carried out at the same time. As a result, Sina was acquired by Chuke Technology for a long time. Sina, led by Wang Zhidong, has now been quite effective. The market and revenue both soared in the new quarter, and Yahoo and Microsoft are still struggling there!
Now Microsoft is in a difficult situation. If it was so big that it would be over, Ballmer would not be able to come to Taiwan, Yahoo would speak out loud, wanting to bite Microsoft hard, and Wall Street institutions wanted to make a deal as soon as possible. All institutions on Wall Street could take the opportunity to make a big profit.
"Chuke Technology will not invest in Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo, but it can take advantage of the situation!" Chen Chu said to Wheslit with a smile. Without outsiders, Chen Chu doesn't need to hide anything.
After leaning on the beach chair and taking a sip of wine, Chen Chu could see the horse farm in the distance. Chen Meng was guided by the equestrian coach and rode carefully, while Bai Molu followed behind with a little worry, for fear that Chen Meng would fall down.
"If I'm not mistaken, Microsoft has already regretted this acquisition," Chen Chu said to Whislit. "Yahoo's asking price is too high. Yahoo is no longer the Internet chief in the past. In the search field, Yahoo has already defeated Google!"
A glimpse of the whole leopard is that Yahoo's performance in China is actually in the global market. The influence of portal websites is weakening. This is an increasingly obvious thing. In terms of e-commerce, Yahoo is not enough for Amazon to invest in it. The search business cannot withstand Baidu in China. Yahoo's impact in the global market, and naturally it cannot stop Google.
Yahoo is now an old sick tiger. It may have existed for a long time, but it will never return to its grandeur.
When Wheater heard Chen Chu's words, Wheater thought, but Wheater had a subtle feeling. How did he feel? Chen Chu seemed to hope that Microsoft could take over the big trap of Yahoo. Wheater didn't know if it was his own illusion.
I have to say that Wheater is indeed sarcastic. Chen Chu really hopes that Microsoft can swallow Yahoo. Maybe then, Microsoft will be dragged down by the big pit of Yahoo. Just like Time Warner and AOL, it may be a bit worse than this in the future.
Microsoft is still under too much pressure on Chuke Technology now. There are old technology giants such as Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Oracle, and Cisco. Chuke Technology wants to extend its hands to PC operating systems, PC processors and so on, and there is no chance. If these technology giants are trapped in the quagmire, it may be a real opportunity for Chuke Technology.
Don’t look at Chuke Technology and Microsoft nowadays seem to have a close relationship, but Microsoft is always guarding against Chuke Technology entering the computer operating system and taking the opportunity to launch a WP mobile phone system. It is known to everyone in Sima Zhao.
"But if Yahoo is willing to transfer its shares in Alibaba to Chuke Technology, the board of directors of Chuke Technology may really consider joining Microsoft to acquire Yahoo at a high price!"
Listening to these inexplicable words, Wheater didn't know what to say for a moment. Alibaba is not very famous in North America. At least it is far inferior to Amazon. And it is willing to swallow Yahoo's sky-high demand for the sake of Alibaba, which made Wheater more curious about this Alibaba.
Then Wheater mentioned some affairs in the North American industry to Chen Chu. After all, China is different from North America. When various news came to China, it was a bit slower and there were all kinds of wrong news.
"There's another thing," Whesrit said to Chen Chu, "Chan, today the reporter of the Washington Financial News mentioned something to you."
Chen Chu became interested. When he was mentioned by that reporter before, Chen Chu felt something interesting. Now he was mentioned by Wheelite again. Chen Chu felt that something might have happened, "Is there something wrong with ConocoPhillips?"
Whisrit said, "It's not a problem, but it may not be very good news for Buffett!"
