Chapter 1200

"Facebook" has already raised $370 million, which many company presidents did not expect before coming. But after they came, the price did not exceed their affordability.

It can be said that Facebook's offer of only 370 million US dollars only scares off some companies that are not strong enough. For companies such as Microsoft, apple, Google and IBM, it is not a big number. It's no exaggeration to say that even if the number is 10 times more, they can afford it. The only reason that limits them to continue to offer is just one point, that is, how much potential "facebook" has in the future.

However, at present, many company presidents have temporarily stopped bidding because Lin Feng, the main character of the auction, has not raised a card so far.

"Oh, why are you looking at me all of a sudden?" Lin Feng looks at the people with a surprised face and looks at them with a strange face.

Many CEOs give him a white eye. Yesterday, you were still shouting that if you have more money, you can throw it into the sea, and you must win "facebook". As a result, we are in a hot auction here. You are good, but there is no movement. If we are not surprised, then there will be ghosts.

Isn't there cheating in it—— Many company presidents thought. But how can there be fraud? After all, they all know the information of "facebook", and the advertising sponsorship contract is also here, so there will be no fraud at all. If Lin Feng, together with Mark Zuckerberg, can really deceive the president who has been on the battlefield for so long, it will be a great miracle.

"Don't you bid, Mr. Lin?" Steve Ballmer said tentatively.

Lin Feng smile, a face of enigmatic.

Originally, Lin Feng was prepared to bid, but then many CEOs bid round after round, making Lin Feng almost unable to get in. And looking at the price rising all the way, finally surpassing Lin Feng's expectations, this makes Lin Feng have an idea in his heart. Just have been weighing, hesitating.

Now people are looking at Lin Feng, waiting for Lin Feng to offer, which makes Lin Feng have a decision.

"Ha ha, I'm waiting for your quotation? Otherwise, when I make an offer, everyone will not make an offer, and there will be no fun! " Lin Feng shrugged helplessly.

When they heard the words, they felt bitter. We and others are racking our brains here, constantly calculating our company's financial resources and the potential of "facebook", and calculating how much we can offer for a reasonable price. As a result, Lin Feng said that people would vomit blood - it's not fun. Is it fun! And although you are the richest man in the world, our personal financial resources are inferior to you, but don't forget that we fight you with the strength of the company, not with personal financial resources. In terms of overall strength, you don't see enough.

Many company presidents despise for a while, and suddenly they scold upstarts.

Lin Feng does not care about the eyes of the outside world. Now that you have a decision, you should strive for more benefits for yourself.

"500 million dollars! I'm offering 500 million dollars. I've already said that if I don't bid, you won't have to play. If you add ten million dollars at a time, it's really like buying Chinese cabbage! If you think about the big deals that companies used to buy that cost billions, tens of billions of dollars, or even hundreds of billions of dollars, now that they only have a little money, this kind of addition really looks down on Facebook Lin Feng stretched out a slap, a face of disdain.

Hiss—— The crowd gasped. Lin Feng's price call was $500 million, but it was a little too much, and it was a bit beyond their expectation. I'm afraid that most of the companies on the scene are more than willing but less than able to make the offer of US $500 million. It's not that they can't get a higher price than $500 million, but for these companies, it's a bit painful for them to bid $500 million for "facebook". After all, the future of "facebook" is still very variable. They can't afford the price that "facebook" can't reach their ideal height after a huge sum of money bidding.

As a result, the only company that can sell more than US $500 million on site is Microsoft, apple, Google and Time Warner. As for "IBM", it must be very rich, but their investment in recent years has always been cautious. Besides, Facebook's business is mainly on the Internet, which is a bit in conflict with IBM's goal of focusing on hardware, so they gave up on their own initiative.

But even if these companies can't afford this kind of money burning bidding game, what you Lin Feng said is too bad. What do you mean - when you bid, people don't have to play - isn't that a poor person to understand! Besides, what is buying Chinese cabbage? Ten million dollar addition. That's pretty scary. In the auction industry, it is rare to increase the price by at least $10 million each time. Also, what is called buying Chinese cabbage? Have you ever seen such expensive Chinese cabbage? As for looking down on "facebook", if you really look down on them, you won't come.

In a word, many CEOs are quite upset, choked by Lin Feng's words. However, their respective strength is limited, or the company's development direction is a little incompatible with "facebook", so it is impossible for them to continue to bid. Now we can only hope that "Microsoft", "Google", "apple" and "Time Warner" can teach Lin Feng a lesson.

But each of the four companies has its own abacus. Although they really don't pay attention to a mere $500 million, whether it's worth it or not must be carefully considered. After all, whether Facebook has a three-year $81 million advertising contract or not, it's only two months old.

Is a 2-month-old "facebook" really worth spending more than $500 million?

Obviously, this is an issue that deserves careful consideration.

"Mark, it seems that no one will bid. Drop the hammer. 500 million dollars, you should be very satisfied with the price! " Seeing the four company presidents pondering, Lin Feng reminded Mark Zuckerberg, who was waiting for people to bid on the stage with ulterior motives.

Mark Zuckerberg is obedient to Lin Feng now. Since Lin Feng says so, Mark Zuckerberg doesn't want to wait much. Originally, the auction of "facebook" was to let Lin Feng win the bet. Unexpectedly, just as Mark Zuckerberg was about to drop the hammer, jobs yelled, "520 million dollars!"

520 million—— Although jobs knew that "facebook" was far from worth the price, its real price was between $200 million and $250 million. But auction, auction, will naturally bid a price higher than its real market value, this is all the awareness of all the companies that come to auction today. What's more, for jobs, "facebook" played a far greater role than other companies.

Whether it's "Microsoft", "Google" or "Time Warner", they lack one thing compared with "apple", that is, products that can be seen and touched.

"Microsoft" sells software, and "Google" sells services. As for "Time Warner", it's just to join in the fun. Of course, the record company of "Time Warner" is really a kind of product. But apple is totally different.

Because Apple has an iPod and an iMac. Therefore, unlike Microsoft and Google, which expect Facebook to bring them direct profits, jobs expects the huge potential market brought by the user group behind Facebook.

"Apple" products have always been famous in the IT industry for their fashionable appearance, unique operation mode and performance, and 50% of the market of "apple" products are college students, that is, the user group of "facebook". Therefore, jobs does not expect "facebook" to become the largest social networking site in the world, as long as it can become the most popular social networking site in American colleges and universities. In that case, even if "facebook" itself can not bring enough huge profits, jobs can fully use the advertising effect brought by "facebook", Sell "apple" products in exchange for money.

What's more, "apple" is preparing to launch a new product, and its target market group is mainly these college students. As a result, jobs is a must for Facebook.

Steve Ballmer, President of Microsoft, and Larry Page, President of Google, frowned slightly. In their mind, "apple" so high price to grab "facebook", it is a bit unexpected. You know, "apple" has no involvement in the field of network, except for a music online that can download MP3 music, the rest is a blank.

Whether it is "Google" or "Microsoft", once it has "facebook", it will be able to add wings like a tiger“ "Microsoft" can make up for its original decision-making mistakes in the Internet, make "Microsoft" MSN "more popular, occupy more markets in the Internet era, and" Google "can continue to consolidate its position in the United States.

It's just that both companies have been hesitant. Calculate whether Facebook is worth 500 million dollars. But now jobs suddenly jumped out and burst out a staggering $520 million price, which made Steve Ballmer and Larry Page, who had been calculating carefully and constantly weighing the gains and losses, unable to restrain themselves.

530 million dollars!

540 million dollars!

......

With the three parties competing with each other and Lin Feng's constant efforts to add fuel to the situation, "facebook" has reached an appalling offer of $1 billion.

One billion US dollars, which is absolutely an offer that all personnel didn't expect before. No matter the presidents of many companies who came to participate in the auction today, the arrogance of Sam's face has been distorted, and the Harvard teachers and students who watched the play live on the Internet, they were all shocked.

In the Internet age, a billion dollar market value is really nothing. Not to mention 1 billion, even 10 billion dollars is nothing in the frenetic Internet economy. But "facebook" is only a website that has just been established for two months, and currently includes a small website with only three employees. It has sold for 1 billion dollars, which is really terrible!

Of course, even more terrifying is that this is not the final price. Looking at these three companies' bidding posture, I'm afraid they will bid higher prices, even an astronomical number.

"1.2 billion dollars!" Larry Page is already a little red eyed, calling out a number that amazes jobs and Steve Ballmer.

"Jobs, I'll give you $1.2 billion. I don't think you can compete with me!" Larry Page looks at jobs angrily.

You know, at $800 million, Microsoft gave up. At $900 million, Time Warner gave up. Originally, Larry Page thought that $950 million could win the "facebook" which is far beyond its market value, but jobs unexpectedly called out a $1 billion price in the end, which really made Larry Page a little angry.

Don't you "apple" make hardware? Why fight so hard with me. Do your "apple" products well, and strive for a website. Isn't it full—— As a result, Larry Page, with a fever in his head, yelled out a price of $1.2 billion at one time. Anyway, "Google" has 4 billion yuan of financing from "Intel". It's not cost-effective to spend $1.2 billion on "facebook". But Larry Page firmly believes that with the technical support of "Google", Facebook will become the most popular social networking site in the world, and the $1.2 billion will be earned back.

Larry Page is convinced of this, because "Google" was developed step by step from scratch by himself and segil brin.

"Mr. Page, you win! I give up Jobs thought about it for a long time and finally gave up. Although he covets the potential market brought by the customer base behind "facebook", the price of $1.2 billion is too high, and jobs knows that even if he asks for a price again, Larry Page will certainly follow up. Because this person, although he created "Google" and let "Google" develop so far, he has never been a qualified president.

He is an excellent programmer, but he is by no means a qualified leader. In this case, jobs continues to fight with Larry Page, who is already in a hot head. If he walks in the air, he will be crushed to pieces. Now "apple" can not afford such a huge loss, because jobs has to prepare for the coming personal PC market reshuffle.

"Hum!" Larry Page snorted. This obnoxious jobs finally lost in front of his absolute price.

"Mr. Lin, are you ready to make an offer?" Larry Page turns to Lin Feng and looks provocative.

During this period of time, "Google" was forced out of breath by a series of actions of Lin Feng. Finally, it changed its original intention and was forced to accept financing from "Intel" to form an alliance with "Intel" to fight against Lin Feng. It can be said that Larry Page had a very bad time and was also very unhappy.

Today, it's not easy to blow his head and beat many competitors at one stroke. Naturally, Larry Page will not let Lin Feng, a very annoying opponent, go. In particular, Larry Page knows that Lin Feng is absolutely short of cash. Although Lin Feng owns two banks, Duojia company and the world's richest man, for Larry Page, who owns Google, he still vaguely knows that Lin Feng doesn't have much cash.

If you want to compete with yourself for Facebook, just see who has enough money! No matter whether you have a tacit understanding with Mark Zuckerberg or not, today I will see what you are going to fight with me! After all, the final decision of "facebook" depends on who has more money—— Larry Page looks at Lin Feng coldly.

They all looked at Lin Feng. I want to see how Lin Feng is going to end up. You know, now that Larry Page is a little crazy, how crazy will Lin Feng be? After all, Lin Feng has invested so much effort in "facebook" to attract "sky high price" advertising sponsorship. Obviously, Lin Feng is determined to win it. But now there is a Larry Page. Will Lin Feng lift a stone and hit himself in the foot?

Everyone looked at Lin Feng with a playful mood. You know, it's rare to see Lin Feng, the world's most publicized richest man, eat shriveled!

Lin Feng looked at the crowd and laughed.

"Mr. Page, since you attach so much importance to Facebook, I want it very much, but I can't get enough money. I can only look at it and sigh. Congratulations, Mr. Page. Congratulations on taking ownership of Facebook Lin Feng said to Larry Page.

Everyone was shocked! Including Larry Page, who was determined to win "facebook", was a little surprised, because no one thought that Lin Feng would suddenly let go, which was really incredible.

"Lin, you are..." Mark Zuckerberg did not expect Lin Feng would suddenly let go. In his heart, no matter how the other side offers, Lin Feng just needs to follow up. Anyway, this auction is just a show. But now Lin Feng gave up. Doesn't that mean that his hard-earned "facebook" has been given away? Although the selling price of 1.2 billion US dollars is enough to make him a billionaire in an instant, it's not what he really wants.

Hum, it seems that there is something fishy between them, but now they have differences. It's a good thing. It's a good thing—— Many CEOs are secretly happy. As for Larry Page, he was even more delighted. Cool“ Facebook is finally here! In the future, Google will be even more powerful.

"Mark, I'll give you an explanation later." Lin Feng gives a look to Mark Zuckerberg, who is shocked and almost out of control.

Mark Zuckerberg nodded, ready to wait for the end of the auction, after the contract is signed, to go to Lin Feng for an answer. But at this moment, a smirk on the face of principal SAMs came in.

"Wait a minute, old Harvard students. I'm going to announce something!" Cried president summers（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
