Bill Gates' remarks attracted Steve Ballmer's attention.
"Bill, do you mean Lin Feng has a controlling stake in Baidu Yahoo?" Asked Steve Ballmer in surprise.
Bill Gates nodded.
"Steve, Lin Feng, a young man, is not an ordinary person. Since he appears in Baidu Yahoo again this time, he must be well prepared. Also, the Chinese are very emotional. According to the logic, Lin Feng will protect Robin Li and Yang Zhiyuan, and the two will never betray Lin Feng. " Bill Gates looked calm, as if he was writing code at the moment.
Steve Ballmer frowned at the words, thought a little in his mind, and suddenly understood.
"Bill, do you mean Lin Feng and Robin Li and Yang Zhiyuan are playing? But why are they acting? " Steve Ballmer frowned. He couldn't figure out why Lin Feng was acting. Are they not afraid that this will affect the future of the company?
Bill Gates knocked on the table. In fact, this problem can't be more simple.
"Steve, Lin Feng's schemer - share also!" Bill Gates said.
Shares—— Steve Ballmer immediately understood“ After the merger of Baidu portal and Yahoo, Yahoo holds 49% of the company's shares, while Yahoo's shares are extremely scattered. The largest shareholder, founder Yang Zhiyuan, is only about 7% of the shares, not to mention the other major shareholders. Therefore, "Yahoo" basically, the ownership structure is a mess. This is not good for the execution of the company. If the shares are too scattered, it is not only easy for hostile companies to take advantage of the situation, but also easy to form factional disputes for the management of the company. For example, "Microsoft" wants to buy "Yahoo" this time, which is to take advantage of the loophole of "Yahoo" equity dispersion.
Lin Feng's schemer is to centralize the original "Yahoo" equity, so as to prevent its equity from being too scattered and affecting the stability of "Baidu Yahoo" in the future.
"Steve, Lin Feng is not just trying to stabilize Baidu Yahoo, he wants to make a lot of money at the same time!" Bill Gates sighed.
Steve Ballmer was surprised. Yes, it's true that Lin Feng wants to make money, but is he so sure that he can turn the tide? Now "Baidu - Yahoo" chaos into a pot of porridge, how can he turn the tide? What's more, is he not afraid of SEC investigation?
"Steve, I don't know how Lin Feng can turn the tide, but I'm sure he will have a way, or he won't come back at this time, and he also wants to buy shares in Timothy and others. As for the investigation of the US Securities Regulatory Commission, it is not that Lin Feng can make false news, but that he has been expelled from the Bureau. Now he just uses some means to let himself return to this stage. What's more, google Yahoo has not been re listed. It can be said that all equity transfers are internal affairs of the company, and the US Securities Regulatory Commission has no right to supervise them for the time being. " Bill Gates shrugged helplessly.
"What shall we do now?" Steve Ballmer couldn't help asking.
Bill Gates smiles.
"Steve, you're the president of Microsoft. I'm not. It's up to you to decide! " Bill Gates said.
Steve Ballmer was speechless.
"Bill, you created Microsoft." Steve Ballmer's forehead is blue. Ever since he became the president of Microsoft, Bill Gates has used this sentence to evade any questions he asked, which made Steve Ballmer angry. Sometimes, he really wants to beat Bill Gates and get angry. He won Bill Gates several times when he was a student. It's worth remembering for such a long time!
"Steve, if Lin Feng Zhen and Robin Li and Yang Zhiyuan didn't collapse, I don't think we need to go all the way to buy Baidu YAHOO, or we'll end up being played!" Bill Gates said.
Steve Ballmer nodded. Indeed, if Lin Feng and Yang Zhiyuan and Robin Li's collapse are just a play, then Microsoft can't buy Baidu YAHOO at all. So what's the use of acquiring a small stake? On the contrary, it will become a laughing stock! Of course, "Microsoft" will try its best to fight for it before it is confirmed.
The night passed in a hurry.
"Boss, now only four shareholders have been convinced that their total shares in Baidu Yahoo are only 2.1%. The rest of the shareholders are watching Timothy do things. Are we not going to let Timothy's Lion open his mouth now Lin Zhiling said, biting her teeth.
Lin Feng smiles and pinches Lin Zhiling's nose.
"Zhiling, it's true that although many small shareholders of Baidu Yahoo are watching Timothy's actions, what they are really waiting for is the offer from Microsoft. It can be said that no matter how much we raise the offer now, as long as "Microsoft" does not offer, they will wait all the time. Because the outside world knows that "Microsoft" is very eager to acquire "Baidu Yahoo" in order to fight against "Google." Lin Feng explained.
"Microsoft is really stupid. If you want to buy, why do you have to make it known to everyone? As a result, people are now asking for trouble Lin Zhiling frowned lovingly and said angrily.
Lin Feng was almost stunned when he saw Lin Zhiling's lovely angry appearance. But after all, Lin Feng is not the first time to witness Lin Zhiling's whole body numb and angry appearance. After a trance, he finally recovered. But in the heart is a demon, Lin Zhiling this creature is really a man's nemesis, anyone who sees her, can't help but want to have a little ambiguous impulse.
"Zhiling, it seems that Microsoft is a bit stupid, but it has one advantage. That's pressure! With Microsoft's current position, when it announces that it is interested in something, its holders will feel nervous and afraid of losing it. For example, this time, Microsoft announced that it was going to buy Yahoo. As a result, Yahoo, which was originally friendly, immediately divided into two groups. One group opposed being bought by Microsoft, and the other supported it. This makes "Yahoo" in a dilemma. If it wasn't for me, even if Yang Zhiyuan could resist the pressure and refuse the acquisition of Microsoft, he would be resented by shareholders like Timothy. Once there is any adverse situation in the future, Yang Zhiyuan will be attacked, and the proposal to sell "Yahoo" will be put on the motion again. If you think about it, how can "Yahoo" operate normally in this case, and eventually be taken over by "Microsoft" Lin Feng sighed.
"But isn't it easy for Microsoft to be talked about! It's not necessarily cost-effective. " Lin Zhiling said.
Lin Feng pinched Lin Zhiling's face and burst into laughter.
"Zhiling, I'm afraid only Microsoft can use this method. Before the acquisition, they let the media from all walks of life know their intentions. Although this will increase the additional investment in the acquisition of funds, but for the acquisition process, it will be much simpler. Just spend more money. Microsoft has money! In order to implement Xbox, Microsoft can lose $1 billion. How can he care about the money? " Lin Feng sighed.
When it comes to the acquisition of "Microsoft", I think that in order to save a little money, I have racked my brains and tried my best. It can be said that the gap between the two sides is really not comparable. But no way, who calls "Microsoft" rich! Just like Real Madrid in football club, smash it with money! Want to buy which star, with money can also hit!
After hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Lin Zhiling shook her head. She still doesn't quite understand the "Microsoft" strategy. But it doesn't matter whether she understands it or not. What matters is that Lin Feng understands it.
"Boss, what shall we do now?" Lin Zhiling asked.
"Ha ha, it's very simple. Since these shareholders are still waiting for Microsoft's offer, we'll let Microsoft quit!" Lin fengchong, Lin Zhiling blinks and smiles.
"Let Microsoft quit?" Lin Zhiling exclaimed.
Since "Microsoft" to "Baidu - Yahoo" potential in must, how can exit? Lin Zhiling doesn't understand! But fortunately, Lin Feng doesn't need her to understand.
"Come on, Zhiling, ask Steve Ballmer for tea! Let's say I invited him to tea at Starbucks in Seattle! " Lin Feng said aloud.
Ah! Lin Zhiling is stunned! Now the two sides are not in a competitive relationship, Lin Feng so direct About Steve Ballmer, he will promise to meet—— Lin Zhiling was puzzled.
"Don't worry, Zhiling. Call me. Steve Ballmer is bound to make it Lin Feng said boldly.
Four years ago, I was nothing more than an ordinary person. Now I can meet the president of Microsoft directly, and I don't need to make an appointment at all. How amazing this change of identity is.
In doubt, Lin Zhiling dials Steve Ballmer's private phone. After receiving Lin Zhiling's phone call, Steve Ballmer was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Feng to meet him at this time, but after being stunned, he readily agreed. Because he wants to know what the relationship between Lin Feng and Yang Zhiyuan and Robin Li is.
After hanging up, Lin Zhiling was shocked. Although Lin Feng is now the richest man in the world, his relationship with "Microsoft" is definitely not good. You should know that Lin Feng and Ellison, the most hated enemy of "Microsoft", are close friends. Now both sides have become direct competitors for "Baidu Yahoo". At this time, Steve Ballmer actually agrees to have afternoon tea with Lin Feng. It's really strange.
"Ha ha, Zhiling, don't think about it. As long as you know something, you can't get up early without profit! As long as there is interest, it is possible at all! " Lin Feng laughed.
"Come on, let's go to Seattle and have afternoon tea with Steve Ballmer!" With a wave of his hand, Lin Feng takes Lin Zhiling, Li Rui and others to Seattle( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
