Chapter 1148 Merge!
Lin Feng wants to merge "Yahoo".
When this news came out of Lin Feng's mouth, Yang Zhiyuan was both surprised and reasonable. I'm afraid this is the only reason why Lin Feng, a busy person, traveled all the way to the headquarters of "Yahoo" just to see himself. But does "Baidu Portal" have the ability to swallow "Yahoo"? - Yang Zhiyuan is quite skeptical.
Yang Zhiyuan absolutely did not believe it.
"Why, Director Yang, don't you believe that I came here to propose an annexation 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 arrogantly.
"Baidu Portal" is estimated to have a current market value of around US$29 billion, but that is only an evaluation and does not mean that "Baidu Portal" really has that much money. It is only the predicted market value of "Baidu Portal" after it goes public in the future. However, the current market value of "Yahoo" is as high as 37 billion U.S. dollars. This is real money, a real stock that is circulating on the "Nasdaq" market in the United States. Want to merge with "Yahoo", does "Baidu Portal" have the money? ——It's not that Jerry Yang looked down on "Baidu Portal", but the fact.
Of course, Lin Feng can raise money for "Baidu Portal" by himself to acquire "Yahoo", but in that case, Lin Feng must take enough stocks for mortgage loans, and Lin Feng's "Second World" stocks will not be dealt with that way. It was mortgaged. Yang Zhiyuan didn't believe that Lin Feng would use the "Second World" stock to exchange for "Yahoo" stock. The two sides are no longer on the same level at all. This is equivalent to taking shark fins to bet against corn, and the two sides are not at the same level at all.
Lin Feng smiled and didn't try to explain.
"Mr. Yang, I just want to ask, if 'Baidu Portal' wants to merge with 'Yahoo', do you support it?" Lin Feng asked.
Hearing Lin Feng's tone, Yang Zhiyuan looked at Lin Feng carefully, his expression was serious, and he definitely didn't seem to be joking.
"Mr. Lin, are you serious?" Yang Zhiyuan's expression turned serious. If this is the purpose of Lin Feng's trip, then there is something to talk about.
"Of course, Mr. Yang, when have I ever lied to someone, let alone such a big matter, how could I have traveled all the way here to joke with you!" Lin Feng said solemnly.
Yang Zhiyuan was silent for a while when he heard the words.
"Mr. Lin, you have to know that just now the representative of 'Microsoft' came,
They offered to buy Yahoo for US$44 billion, but I rejected it. Could Mr. Lin's sincerity exceed this US$44 billion? " Yang Zhiyuan said with a smile.
Lin Feng shrugged and respected Yang Zhiyuan with the wine glass in his hand.
"Mr. Yang, I'm talking about mergers, not acquisitions! 'Microsoft' wants to completely make 'Yahoo' into itself, while I advocate a vertical alliance. The two companies are merging to deal with 'gle' " Lin Feng said with a smile.
Yang Zhiyuan frowned when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Lin Feng silently, waiting for Lin Feng to speak.
"Mr. Yang, I don't think there is a company in the entire search engine industry that can understand the horror of 'gle' better than 'Yahoo'. No one can understand the potential of 'gle' better than Mr. Yang. If 'gle' is allowed to develop , I can't think of three years, the Internet will completely become the world of 'gle'. And our search engine companies will completely become the corner of picking leftovers from 'gle'. Excuse me, is 'Yahoo' willing? Director Yang , are you willing?" Lin Feng asked.
"Yahoo" is certainly not reconciled, and Yang Zhiyuan is even more unwilling. The former leader in the search engine industry has now become the "second in command" that everyone bullies, which makes Yang Zhiyuan feel how it feels. He was always ready to lead "Yahoo" to a turnaround, but he was trapped by technology, so "Yahoo" had to swallow his anger and silently watched "gle" grow step by step.
After some contemplation, Yang Zhiyuan made a decision.
"Mr. Lin, what are you going to do?" Yang Zhiyuan stopped going around in circles 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 complexion was very exciting, blue for a while, red for a while, and white for a while, it was really pretty.
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" company, of which "Baidu Portal" will invest a total of 18 billion US dollars, and "hyperchain analysis" technology and "Baidu Portal " stock, get a total of 46% of the shares of "Baidu-Yahoo", "Yahoo" buys shares with stocks, gets 49% shares, Lin Feng buys shares with "cloud computing" lifetime use rights, gets 5% shares.
"Mr. Lin, I have no objection to this merger plan, but I will not give up on the position!" Yang Zhiyuan saw the benefits of this contract at a glance. It can be said that almost all Lin Feng and "Baidu Portal" took advantage. In the final calculation, Lin Feng can control as much as 51% of the shares of "Baidu-Yahoo", which just exceeds the 49% of "Yahoo", and obtains a controlling stake in the company. However, Yang Zhiyuan didn't pay attention to these things, because there are several very important things in this cooperation plan.
One is 18 billion US dollars in cash, which is the dream of "Yahoo". Now "Yahoo" does not have enough funds. With this 18 billion US dollars, it is enough for "Yahoo" to make a big splash in the search engine industry, let alone "Yahoo" The "Hyperlink Analysis" of "Baidu Portal" is a search engine second only to "gle", and "Baidu Earth" is now hot, which is what "Yahoo" lacks. What's more, there is also the free lifetime right to use "cloud computing" provided by Lin Feng, which Yang Zhiyuan has coveted for a long time.
Therefore, for these interests, this "Baidu-Yahoo" eventually became Lin Feng's holding company, and Yang Zhiyuan didn't care. Of course, this is also because of the current poor situation of Yang Zhiyuan. It turned out that Jerry Yang used his status as the chairman to propose to break off contact with "gle" and develop the search engine on his own, but the result was not ideal, which caused a bit of rift between many shareholders and Jerry Yang. Later, the acquisition of "Microsoft" was also a shortcut for "Yahoo" to get rid of the current embarrassing situation. However, due to Yang Zhiyuan's arrogance and the arrogance of the representative of "Microsoft", Yang Zhiyuan once again rejected the proposal of "Microsoft". And this directly annoyed many shareholders.
They invest to make money, and now it is clear that "Microsoft" is willing to buy "Yahoo", so why don't they sell it? Don't sell it for nothing, as long as there is money to make, it doesn't matter whether he is a real father or a real mother. Therefore, Jerry Yang was very passive in the management of "Yahoo". Many shareholders threatened that Jerry Yang should come up with a solution as soon as possible, otherwise he would abdicate. And because of the support of many shareholders within "Yahoo", although "Microsoft" did not back down after being rejected by Jerry Yang, it intensified and began 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 this plan proposed by Lin Feng. This plan is far more sincere than that of "Microsoft". "Microsoft" bought "Yahoo" completely with cash and stock. After the acquisition, ordinary employees should still do what they want. Those former "Yahoo" executives will depend on "Microsoft". After all, "Microsoft" is a complete acquisition. , instead of merging like "Baidu Portal".
It can be said that after the merger of "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo", both parties still have the right to speak in many fields, but for Yang Zhiyuan, he is determined to win this position. The "Yahoo" he created became the best search engine company in the world, but in the end he allowed "gle" to surpass the past. This has always been a pain for Yang Zhiyuan. He has always dreamed of surpassing "gle", but he has never had a chance. Now that the merger of "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo" has made him see an opportunity,
If he can lead "Baidu-Yahoo" to defeat "gle", Jerry Yang believes that the feeling must be great! Therefore, Jerry Yang's ambition to "Baidu-Portal" is sure to win!
"Yang Dong, what's this..." Lin Feng hesitated after hearing the words. To know this position, Lin Feng had reserved it for Robin Li. Now Yang Zhiyuan wants it again, which really makes Lin Feng feel embarrassed.
"Mr. Lin, if I can't take this position, I will never agree to this merger plan!" Yang Zhiyuan never let go of this question.
Lin Feng was speechless for a while. If Yang Zhiyuan disagreed, then this merger plan would definitely not be realized. Headache!
Just when Lin Feng had a headache, Lin Chiling obediently went to the side to call Robin Li, and told the whole story. Li Yanhong was stunned when he heard the words. After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision.
"Boss, I don't want that position. After all, Jerry Yang created 'Yahoo', and he is better than me in this aspect. I'd better concentrate on developing my technology!" Lin Feng's cell phone rang, and Li Yanhong's voice came.
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then looked at Lin Chiling, knowing that Lin Chiling was talking too much, he frowned slightly.
"Mr. Li, thank you very much for your generosity. I broke my promise this time. But since you are not the CEO, then..." Lin Feng thought for a while, and the alarm clock had an idea, "Then be the chief engine Architects 'Go!"
Lin Feng smiled slightly. Didn't Bill Gates serve as the chief engineer at "Microsoft", then Robin Li can also serve as the "chief engine architecture engineer" at "Baidu-Yahoo".
