Chapter 1148 Merge!
Chapter 1,148 Merger!
Lin Feng wants to merge with "Yahoo".
When the news came out of Lin Feng's mouth, Yang Zhiyuan was both surprised and reasonable. I'm afraid it was only for this reason that Lin Feng, a busy man, traveled thousands of miles to the "Yahoo" headquarters.
I want to meet myself. But is "Baidu Portal" capable of swallowing "Yahoo"? - Jerry Yang is quite skeptical.
Jerry Yang absolutely didn't believe it.
"What, Director Yang, don't you believe that I'm here to propose a merger agreement?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
Yang Zhiyuan shook his head.
"Mr. Lin, I would like to ask if 'Baidu Portal' has this strength?" Yang Zhiyuan said with a look of arrogance.
Although the current market value of "Baidu Portal" is estimated to be as high as about 29 billion U.S. dollars, that is just an assessment. It does not mean that "Baidu Portal" really has that much money. It is just the predicted market value of "Baidu Portal" after it is listed in the future. And "Yahoo"
Today, the market value is as high as 37 billion U.S. dollars. This is real money, and the real price is the stock flowing in the "Nasdaq" market in the United States. If it wants to merge with "Yahoo", does "Baidu Portal" have the money? - Isn't this Yang?
Zhiyuan looks down on "Baidu Portal", but it is a fact.
Of course, Lin Feng can finance "Baidu Portal" by himself to acquire "Yahoo", but in that case, Lin Feng must take out enough stocks for mortgage loans, which will not affect Lin Feng's "Second World" stocks.
It was mortgaged. Jerry Yang didn't believe that Lin Feng would mortgage "Second World" stocks in exchange for "Yahoo" stocks. The two parties are no longer on the same level. This is equivalent to betting on shark fins with corn. Both parties are completely different.
Another level.
Lin Feng smiled and did not explain.
"Dr. Yang, I just want to ask, if 'Baidu Portal' wants to merge with 'Yahoo', do you support it?" Lin Feng asked.
Yang Zhiyuan heard Lin Feng's tone and looked at Lin Feng carefully. His expression was serious and it definitely didn't seem like he was joking.
"Mr. Lin, are you serious?" Yang Zhiyuan looked serious. If this was the purpose of Lin Feng's trip, then there would be something to discuss.
"Of course, Director Yang, when have I ever deceived anyone, let alone such a big thing, why would I come all the way here to joke with you!" Lin Fengsurong said.
When Yang Zhiyuan heard this, he was silent for a while.
"Mr. Lin, you have to know that representatives from Microsoft came just now. They proposed to acquire Yahoo for US$44 billion, but I rejected it. Could it be that Mr. Lin's sincerity can exceed the US$44 billion?" Yang
Zhiyuan said with a smile.
Lin Feng shrugged and held the wine glass in his hand to Yang Zhiyuan.
"Director Yang, what I'm talking about is a merger, not an acquisition! 'Microsoft' wants to completely turn 'Yahoo' into its own, while I advocate the merger of Zonglianheng. The two companies are merging to jointly deal with 'Google'
." Lin Feng said with a smile.
When Yang Zhiyuan heard this, his brows jumped, but he didn't say anything more. He just looked at Lin Feng silently, waiting for Lin Feng to continue.
"Director Yang, I think there is no company in the entire search engine industry that understands the horror of 'google' better than 'Yahoo', and no one understands the potential of 'google' better than Director Yang. If 'google' is allowed to develop,
, I cannot imagine that in three years, the Internet will completely become the world of 'Google'. And we search engine companies will completely become the corner picking up the leftovers of 'Google'. I would like to ask, 'Yahoo' is willing to do so? Mr. Yang
, are you willing?" Lin Feng asked.
Of course, "Yahoo" is not willing to give in, and Yang Zhiyuan is even more unwilling. The once leading boss in the search engine industry has now become the "second in command" that is bullied by everyone. This makes Yang Zhiyuan feel how he feels. He is always ready to lead "Yahoo!"
"Fighting a turnaround, but being trapped by technology, "Yahoo" had to swallow its anger and silently watch "Google" grow step by step.
After some reflection, Yang Zhiyuan made a decision.
"Mr. Lin, what are you going to do?" Yang Zhiyuan stopped beating around the bush and asked straight to the point.
Lin Feng smiled and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase.
Yang Zhiyuan took the document and looked at it. His face was very beautiful, sometimes green, sometimes red, sometimes white, it was really good-looking.
Lin Feng looked at Yang Zhiyuan with interest. He believed that Yang Zhiyuan would not object to this plan. This merger plan, that is, the merger of "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo" will form a new "Baidu-Yahoo"
The company, among which "Baidu Portal" invested a total of 18 billion U.S. dollars, as well as "hyperlink analysis" technology and "Baidu Portal" stocks, obtained a total of 46% of "Baidu-Yahoo" shares, and "Yahoo" invested in stocks and received
49% of the shares, while Lin Feng invested in the company with lifetime rights to use "cloud computing" and received 5% of the shares.
"Mr. Lin, I have no objection to this merger plan, but I will not give up on the position of CEO!" Yang Zhiyuan saw the benefits of this contract at a glance. It can be said that almost all of them are Lin Feng and "Baidu"
"Portal" took advantage. If calculated in the end, Lin Feng could control up to 51% of the "Baidu-Yahoo" shares, just more than "Yahoo"'s 49%, and obtain the company's controlling stake. However, Jerry Yang did not pay attention to these
Here, because there are several very important things in this cooperation plan.
The first is 18 billion US dollars in cash, which is what "Yahoo" dreams of. Now "Yahoo" does not have sufficient funds. With this 18 billion US dollars, it is enough for "Yahoo" to flex its muscles in the search engine industry, not to mention "Yahoo"
The "hyperlink analysis" of "Baidu Portal" is the search engine second only to "Google". At the same time, "Baidu Earth" is now very popular, which is what "Yahoo" lacks. What's more, there is also the "Cloud" provided by Lin Feng.
Lifetime free use of "computing" is something Jerry Yang has coveted for a long time.
Therefore, for these interests, this "Baidu-Yahoo" eventually became Lam Feng's holding company, and Yang Zhiyuan did not care. Of course, this is also because of the current poor situation of Yang Zhiyuan. Originally, Yang Zhiyuan used his status as chairman to propose
He broke off contact with "Google" and developed a search engine on his own, but the results were not ideal, which caused a bit of resentment between many shareholders and Jerry Yang. Later, the acquisition of "Microsoft" was also a big deal for "Yahoo".
A shortcut to get rid of the current embarrassing situation. However, due to Yang Zhiyuan's arrogance and the arrogance of the "Microsoft" representative, Yang Zhiyuan once again vetoed the "Microsoft" proposal. This directly annoyed many shareholders.
They invest to make money. Now it is obvious that "Microsoft" is willing to buy "Yahoo", so why don't they sell it? If you don't sell it, you can't sell it. As long as you make money, it doesn't matter whether he is his biological father or mother. Therefore, Jerry Yang is
The management of "Yahoo" is very passive. Many shareholders have threatened that Yang Zhiyuan will come up with a solution as soon as possible, otherwise he will step down and make way for someone better. And due to the support of many shareholders within "Yahoo", although "Microsoft" was rejected by Jerry Yang,
Instead of backing down, he intensified his efforts to lobby many directors to force Jerry Yang to agree to sell Yahoo.
With so many coincidences, how could Yang Zhiyuan not be excited when he saw the plan proposed by Lin Feng? This plan is far more sincere than that of "Microsoft". "Microsoft" is a cash plus
After the complete stock acquisition of "Yahoo", ordinary employees should still do what they should do. Those former "Yahoo" executives will have to look at the face of "Microsoft". After all, "Microsoft" is a complete acquisition, not a transfer to "Baidu Portal"
"Merge like this.
It can be said that after the merger of "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo", both parties still have the right to speak in many fields. However, for Jerry Yang, he is determined to win this CEO position. The "Yahoo" he created has become a global
The best search engine company, but in the end "Google" surpassed the past, which has always been Yang Zhiyuan's pain. He has always dreamed of surpassing "Google", but he has never had the chance. Now "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo"
The merger made him see the opportunity,
If he could lead "Baidu-Yahoo" to defeat "Google", Jerry Yang believed that it would feel great! Therefore, Jerry Yang is determined to win the CEO position of "Baidu-Portal"!
"Director Yang, this..." Lin Feng hesitated after hearing this. You know, Lin Feng had reserved this position for Robin Li. Now Yang Zhiyuan wants it again, which really puts Lin Feng in a dilemma.
"Mr. Lin, if I can't sit in this position, I will never agree to this merger plan!" Jerry Yang will never let up on this issue.
Lin Feng was speechless for a while. If Yang Zhiyuan did not agree, then this merger plan would definitely not be realized. It would be a headache!
Just when Lin Feng had a headache, Lin Chiling obediently went to call Robin Li and told him the whole story. Robin Li was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision.
"Boss, I don't want the CEO position. After all, Jerry Yang single-handedly created Yahoo, and he is better than me in this regard. I'd better concentrate on developing my technology!" Lin Feng's phone rang, and Robin Li's
The voice came.
Lin Feng was slightly startled when he heard this, then looked at Lin Chiling, knowing that Lin Chiling was talking too much, and frowned slightly.
"Mr. Li, thank you very much for your generosity. This time I broke my promise. But since you are not the CEO, then you will be..." Lin Feng thought for a while, and the alarm clock came up with an idea, "Then you will be the chief engine."
