Chapter 594

After Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other and exchanged a few eyes, Sergey Brin spoke for the first time.

"Mr. Lin, with all due respect, we are very interested in your financing plan, but you own Baidu. It's no taboo to say that your Baidu will be a competitor of Google in the future. It's impossible for us to let you own the shares of Google and enter the board of directors of Google." Sergei brin's tone was not polite at all.

"Mr. Lin, you should know that this is about the company's core secrets. Even if we agree, other shareholders may not agree. After all, there is no precedent in the industry." Larry Page followed Sergei brin's words, but the tone was much more mild and euphemistic.

Lin Feng laughs to himself - sing red and white face! But this also let Lin Feng have assurance in the heart.

When Larry Page and Sergey Brin do this, they are obviously very concerned about Microsoft's acquisition of aquantive. Otherwise, they will not play this play. I'm afraid they will politely decline Lin Feng and then walk away.

They won't sit with Lin Feng for two hours like Steve Ballmer.

"Mr. Page, Mr. Brin, our boss hasn't agreed to Microsoft's acquisition terms yet, but you should also know that the price of $39 A share is very attractive." Abby Cohen spoke on behalf of Lin Feng.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin frowned, wondering what Abby Cohen meant.

"Ha ha, in short, our boss is very interested in this financing and thinks that Google is a company worth investing in. As for the concerns of Mr. Page and Mr. Brin, we have a contract that describes in great detail the future conflict between Google and Baidu. " Abby Cohen handed the contract to Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

They took a look. According to the contract, if there is a conflict between "Google" and "Baidu" in the future, Lin Feng has no right to participate in the board meeting of "Google" and to view the relevant documents and archives.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin appreciate this proposal. If so, Lin Feng's financing may not be unacceptable. It's a lot more generous than those investment banks to raise 5% of the equity of $500 million.

But what makes Larry Page and Sergey Brin wonder is why Lin Feng is so committed to financing "Google". On the contrary, many companies can invest, such as Lin Feng's own "phantom technology" and "Baidu", which are very promising companies in the industry. The $500 million is enough to take the two companies to a new level. The future prospects may not be as good as Google.

Lin Feng looks at the doubts of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, smiles and winks at Abby Cohen.

"As for why our boss wants to finance Google, I believe you will understand after reading this contract. That's the only thing our boss wants Abby Cohen again handed them a contract.

When Larry Page and Sergey Brin read it carefully, they suddenly realized.

This contract is the cooperation contract between Lin Feng's "Dingdang" and "Google". According to the contract, Google's search engine must list "Dingdang" as the first choice for netizens to search online trading platform. In addition, when searching "Avril" and "Michael Jackson", it will be the first advertisement to pop up "Dingdang".

Larry Page and Sergey Brin look at each other and finally understand why Lin Feng is so persistent in financing Google. Larry Page and Sergey Brin will not be unaware of the news that Avril records has been blocked by global record companies. Although they are in the IT industry, they are doing the business of search engine after all, and they have heard something about it.

It's almost a one-sided "war" for global record companies to block Avril records. Although Avril records has a hot pop star recently, and Michael Jackson, the "king of pop", it is unable to fight against the global record companies. As a result, Lin Feng jumped out to support Avril and Michael Jackson.

Unfortunately, it's no use how much money Lin Feng has. In the recording industry, the joint efforts of global record companies can't be resisted by any company or even the country. Not only all record companies do not sell Avril records, but also online trading platforms. Now only Lin Feng's "Dingdang net" can be sold.

While the grass grows the horse starves in the Chinese mainland, it can not save the near fire. But now Lin Feng financing "Google", I'm afraid "Dingdang net" will enter the U.S. market.

I'm afraid these record companies will have a headache—— Larry Page and Sergey Brin muttered to themselves. Of course, for them, for "Google", this is just a farce. They just want to develop "Google" with ease.

At this time, Larry Page has agreed with Lin Feng's financing plan, but he is also worried about Microsoft's acquisition of "aquantive" of Lin Feng holdings. He hopes Lin Feng will not sell "aquantive" to "Microsoft", but businessmen pursue profits. He has no reason to ask Lin Feng to give up this seemingly lucrative acquisition plan.

Unless "Google" is willing to acquire Lin Feng's "aquantive", but first of all, "Google" does not have so much money to acquire "aquantive". If it is acquired by shares, Lin Feng's personal capital will occupy too much share in "Google", and it is very likely to become the largest shareholder of "Google", which is obviously unacceptable to Larry Page. What's more, Google also owns the "aquantive" technology, and the acquisition is unnecessary.

It is also a great threat to Google that Microsoft can acquire successfully.

Entanglement, Larry Page's incomparable entanglement.

Lin Feng and Abby Cohen see and laugh at Larry Page's tangled psychology.

"Mr. Page, about Microsoft's acquisition of aquantive; As you know, we can't refuse such huge profits. " Abby Cohen's words made Larry Page and Sergey Brin's heart sink to the bottom.

However, Abby Cohen's tone changed.

"Of course, if our boss can finance" Google ", he will naturally become a shareholder of" Google ", and he will not want to see the interests of" Google "suffer, but he can not let our boss suffer." Larry Page and Sergey Brin were bewildered by what Abby Cohen said. They didn't know what Abby Cohen wanted to say.

Abby Cohen smiles.

"As long as our boss can successfully finance Google, I promise that our boss will never sell any equity of aquantive to Microsoft unless Microsoft offers more than $50 per share." Abby Cohen said with a confident smile.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin listened, lost in thought. Abby Cohen's words can be described as both soft and hard. He not only promised that Lin Feng would not be involved in any board meeting related to Baidu, but also promised that he would not sell "aquantive" to Microsoft unless it offered $50 a share. With the temptation of $500 million, Larry Page said it was strange that he would not move his heart.

What's more, if they don't agree, Lin Feng will immediately sell "aquantive" to "Microsoft", which can not only make huge profits, but also crack down on "Google". Larry Page believes that Lin Feng will do so, and he will do the same.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other and nodded to themselves.

"Welcome to Google, Mr. Lin!" Larry Page smiles and reaches out his right hand to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng and Abby Cohen look at each other and smile.

"Happy cooperation!" Lin Feng holds Larry Page's hand.

Then, when "Google" announced the successful financing, Lin Feng, an investor from China, and the four major investment banks raised funds, the industry was shocked. For this financing, the industry is not surprised. To everyone's surprise, Lin Feng, a Chinese, actually raised 5% of Google's equity at a high price of US $500 million.

What on earth does this Chinese want to do? Everyone can't help but ask themselves. In particular, as Lin Feng's direct opponent, Motorola, the president of Sony records, the founder of Avril records, can't figure out why Lin Feng spent $500 million to finance "Google"!

Steve Ballmer, the president of Microsoft, is the only one who thinks he has "guessed" Lin Feng's intention. When he learns of the news, Steve Ballmer turns pale and thinks Lin Feng is putting pressure on himself.

Damn it, you have too much appetite—— Steve Ballmer cursed Lin Feng angrily, but now "Google" will be more unstoppable to obtain financing, "Microsoft" must come up with corresponding measures, and the acquisition of "aquantive" of Lin Feng holdings is the best way.

"Mr. Lin, shall we talk about the acquisition of" aquantive " Steve Ballmer helplessly calls Lin Feng.

Lin Feng receives a call from Steve Ballmer and smiles.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ballmer. I've fully entrusted my agent, Ms. Abby Cohen, to take charge of this matter. You can talk to her if you have anything to do." Then Lin Feng handed the phone to Abby Cohen.

"Hello, Mr. Ballmer. I believe you are no stranger to me. Now I am in charge of the acquisition of aquantive. Now, on behalf of my boss, I formally inform you that my boss will never sell "aquantive" if the price is lower than $65 a share Abby Cohen temporarily raised the price again.

Now, influenced by the successful financing of "Google", the share price of "aqunnative" has also risen one after another, reaching the price of $22. It's not too much for Abby Cohen to ask for $65. Who makes "Microsoft" need "aquantive" now? That's the reason why "exotic goods are available"! At this time, if she doesn't take the opportunity to ask for a price, she won't be Abby Cohen.

But with Abby Cohen's mouth, Steve Ballmer jumped. In Steve Ballmer's opinion, Lin Feng's mouth of $50 is black hearted enough, but now Abby Cohen is more black hearted, and he even opens his mouth of $65.

"Ms. Abby Cohen, your price is too high. We Microsoft are definitely not the big loser!" Steve Ballmer hung up rudely.

Abby Cohen didn't care. Calling out $65 not only tells "Microsoft" that Lin Feng doesn't have to sell "aquantive", but also gives "Microsoft" a bargaining space.

Bargaining, regardless of the value of commodity transactions, is valuable.

After hanging up the phone, Steve Ballmer walked around the office angrily, but he finally had no choice but to hold an interim board meeting of "Microsoft" to discuss the acquisition of "aquantive".

At the meeting, everyone was very angry at Abby Cohen's offer of $65, believing that it was taking advantage of the fire. But in the face of the fact that "Google" is refinancing, people are also more helpless.

"Ladies and gentlemen," aquantive "must be acquired. As for the price, I believe we can still talk about it. But don't forget that Lin Feng just raised money for Google. Although I don't know why he raised money for Google, if he sold aquantive to Microsoft, I believe it will have some impact on their cooperative relationship. " After listening carefully to the speeches, Bill Gates concluded.

They all looked at each other and nodded. Although Steve Ballmer felt that things were not so simple, he couldn't figure out the mystery for a moment. In the end, everyone agreed to do their best to acquire Lin Feng's "aquantive".

Finally, after a difficult conversation between Abby Cohen and Microsoft, "Microsoft" finally acquired 51% of Lin Feng's "aquantive" shares at a price of US $55 per share.

The industry was shocked again. Lin Feng invested 180 million US dollars to acquire "aquantive". One year later, he sold it to "Microsoft" and made a total of 2.7 billion US dollars. This is enviable. No, it's envious.

When he signed the peace agreement with Lin Feng, Steve Ballmer couldn't help jumping a few times in the face, but in his heart, he said in secret - hum, let's see how you explain to "Google" shareholders.

Steve Ballmer didn't know. Larry Page and Sergey Brin just sighed about the deal. After all, there had been an agreement that Lin Feng could sell "aquantive" for more than $50 a share.

In a word, "Microsoft" is too rich!

Now, after the deal, Lin Feng owns 5% of Google's shares, and his personal account has $5.150 billion.

It's time to declare war on the major record companies—— Lin Feng gave a cold smile（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
