My rebirth is different

…………

Hearing the figure of 120 billion US dollars, Ballmer, Sergey, and Larry Page looked at each other, and all three shook their heads slightly.

Apparently, they thought the price was too high.

Negotiation, that's it. One party desperately raises the price, and the other party must desperately lower the price.

The two sides continue to negotiate and make mutual concessions until they reach a balance and negotiate a price that everyone can accept.

The negotiation was declared a success.

Of course, there will also be situations where the gap between the two parties' expectations is too large and they cannot always reach an agreement.

At that time, naturally, the negotiation failed.

Now, the price proposed by Lu Qi is a bit different from what Microsoft and Google want.

"Well, let's talk about this today, and you can go back and think about it. Tomorrow, two new friends will come over, let's talk about it together."

Yu Wenfei said suddenly.

Chapter 881

Ballmer, Sergey, and Larry Page were all taken aback.

Will two new friends come over tomorrow?

Obviously, this so-called new friend is his competitor!

However, I haven't heard of any Internet giant company that wants to participate in the competition for Facebook shares.

To be honest, there are not many companies with the size of Facebook that are eligible to participate.

Could it be Amazon and Yahoo?

However, Amazon is losing money every year. Will the company's board of directors allow Bezos' bald head to step into the Internet social networking industry?

As for Yahoo, it is possible, because Lu Qi has a deep relationship with that side.

Moreover, the major shareholder and founder of Yahoo is also Chinese!

Although Yahoo has started to go downhill in the past two years, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Yahoo still has a lot of money in its hands!

It is hard to guarantee that they will not start to seek self-help and invest in unicorn companies such as the international version of Facebook.

If this is the case, then you have to think about it carefully.

Is it to raise prices, seek a peaceful solution, or...

…………

"Okay, let's stop here today, and we'll go back and think about it, and re-evaluate Facebook North America." Ballmer said bluntly.

He wanted to go back and find out about the situation, which two competitors would enter the arena tomorrow.

After knowing the details of the opponent, we can consider the next plan.

Naturally, Google has the same opinion.

A group of people got up to say goodbye.

Lu Qi sent them out on behalf of Facebook.

In the conference room, only Yu Wenfei and others were left.

"Microsoft and Google are going too far! We had good intentions and wanted to invite them to work together to develop social networking on the Internet. It turned out that they were lucky. Not only did they not understand good people, but they wanted to take the opportunity to lower prices!" Shen Nanpeng took the lead Said, the expression is very dissatisfied.

"Hehe, big companies in Europe and the United States are like this. Maybe they think that we are begging them, and without them, the international version of Facebook will be unable to move forward. So, they want to take this opportunity to kill us." Xue Chunlai said with a smile.

"Mr. Fei, you said that two friends are coming tomorrow. I know one of them, and the origin of the other one. I haven't heard from you before." Cai Congxin asked curiously.

Everyone in the meeting room also looked over together, and indeed, everyone knew one of them.

In fact, it wasn't exactly a new friend.

But it is a senior vice president in charge of investment at Citibank headquarters, who will continue to inject capital into Facebook North America on behalf of Citibank.

In the existing shareholding structure, Citibank has a very low shareholding ratio in Facebook North America.

Yu Wenfei had already mentioned this matter at the shareholder meeting, because in North America, Citibank is still very strong.

Appropriately increasing their shareholding ratio will also help the long-term development of Facebook North America.

However, the other one, everyone has never heard Yu Wenfei mention it.

…………

"This new friend, I just talked with the other party. They are not inferior to the Internet industry. The stake in Facebook North America is also a strategic investment of a private nature. But, believe me, with their joining, at least they can To ensure that we will not be attacked at the political level by our competitors."

Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

He has already designed the shareholder structure of Facebook North America.

Every shareholder introduced will play an important role at some stage.

How much money the other party can pay is secondary, what is more important is the energy of the other party!

This energy includes the technical level, the influence level, and the political level!

…………

Ballmer and others, after returning to the hotel, immediately began to mobilize their contacts.

Find out which company is going to join the competition against Facebook North America.

Unfortunately, they entered a misunderstanding.

It is that the new competitors must be giant companies in the Internet or IT industry.

So after inquiring and inquiring, the relationships with several giant companies have reported that there is no such plan in the near future, and they have not contacted Facebook.

At night, when the three met for dinner, they were still at a loss.

"What company is it? Why didn't I find any effective information at all, could it be from Europe?" Ballmer said gloomily.

"So do we. Our friend from Yahoo told us that Yahoo really intended to take a stake in Facebook North America, but Lu Qi politely rejected it. F**k! What kind of company is it?" Sergey scratched. Scratching his head, he swears.

"Forget it, since we can't find out, then tomorrow we will remain unchanged. Anyway, new competitors will also appear on the stage. After we see who it is, we will adapt accordingly." Larry Page persuaded.
