Chapter 893

PayPal is like the sand that will eventually turn into a bright pearl. Only in the right mother can it develop into a pearl.

The right parent is eBay. Apart from it, it's hard to have a second platform to fully incubate PayPal.

Because of this, Li Mu clearly realized that he could not incubate PayPal, even if he had money, it would be difficult to do so.

We have to put PayPal in eBay's stomach to incubate. Li Mu wants to bite off a piece of meat on PayPal in the future. The best way is to reach an agreement with eBay to share PayPal.

Because eBay is just in need of PayPal, so he can take the lead. He just wants to take a ride to make more money in the future, so he can take a small part. PayPal's existing shareholders, including Elon Musk, are actually buying and selling one shot, and now they want to cash out. But if there is a longer-term profit, they can stay in the team , so I bought most of PayPal's shares with eBay, let them make money first, and then leave a small part of the shares to them, so that they have a chance to make a big profit in the future.

If this is the case, in the process of acquiring shares, contracts should be used to limit the cashing speed of PayPal's original team. If you and eBay eat 80% of PayPal's shares together, and if you need to pay 1.2 billion or how many billion dollars in cash, then the money must be split up, and you should know how long, how many times, how much each time, and what Elon is· Musk, what's Peter Teer? I don't want to be famous in Silicon Valley and the world in the future. I'll be honest for a few years on eBay.

In fact, for entrepreneurs like Elon Musk, if they can still reserve shares and win a future on the premise of cash guarantee, they will not refuse. Now, Li Mu has seen clearly that when he was born again in 2002, many of the big bullies in his last life were not so terrible as the future, and they were growing up Before they were born, they had evolved to the ultimate body. Now, it is more than ten years before they grow into monsters.

If we can persuade the people like Elon Musk to continue to make PayPal, and then fool eBay in and let him incubate paypal for him and himself, then Paypal will not only be eBay's, but also the common child of eBay. Can't we eat meat? And there's a lot to eat.

Besides, Li Mu doesn't think eBay will refuse. The reason why they want PayPal is because of the rigid demand of business development. They can solve many problems and potential crises by holding PayPal in their hands. However, it's not necessary to acquire it completely. It's also OK to hold absolute shares. What's more, they can gain an ally. Now, Muye technology has a strong momentum, any one in the world Internet giants will never despise its existence. If YY and eBay tie up in the overseas market to jointly exploit the city and land, it's really a good thing of mutual benefit.

Li Mu's decision was immediately approved by everyone!

Lei even said excitedly, "if we can join hands with eBay to invest in PayPal, not more, even if we hold 20% of the shares, our overall valuation will increase a lot. A Chinese enterprise, with rapid development overseas, has created amazing data worth more than $10 million a day, has also invested in PayPal, the world's largest payment channel, and has reached capital cooperation with giant eBay, This concept is awesome! "

Ding Zhenglin, who is good at capital operation, said excitedly: "if we can reach a consensus with eBay and paypal first and then publicize it, then the concept of the company will be amazing at that time. With so many actions, our valuation will be higher. At that time, we will negotiate round C, bring in the money and pay for PayPal's capital, all the business clouds Running water, smooth to the extreme. "

Kong Lingyu, who doesn't understand the overseas capital market, can't help but ask, "can the US government let us take a stake in paypal? After all, it's the payment channel, which is quite sensitive... "

Ding Zhenglin said to him seriously, "old Kong, the United States is not China, so we can't take the situation of China into account in the American market, let alone PayPal now has several non American shareholders; in addition, Bank of America is almost all private banks, even banks are private, and the payment channel is just to use the Internet to get through the bank transaction system, The U.S. government doesn't care. Besides, let's not talk about payment channels and American banks. Do you know that even the US Federal Reserve, which specializes in printing US dollars, is a private institution? "

Kong Lingyu was stunned. "Isn't it true that the" central bank "of the United States is private?"

Ding Zhenglin shakes his head helplessly: "don't always write code, occasionally understand the international situation..."

Kong Lingyu smiled: "well, I'll go back to study."

There is no doubt that the freedom of the U.S. market is very high, especially in the Internet industry. Let alone Muye technology's stake in PayPal, it's really rich and it's no problem to take PayPal.At this time, elder martial brother Liu said with a smile: "this Elon Musk must have never thought that he wanted to run to China for friendship, but before he did, he was calculated by President Li. After he came to China, he must have been dragged into the car by President Li. Ha ha!"

The whole conference room was laughing.

It's true that if Li Mu's suit really involves Elon Musk and eBay, it's really a bull. Elon Musk runs over with the purpose of friendship and porcelain bumping, but in the end, he sends Li Mu to eat a piece of meat. I don't know what kind of mood he will come to know about the real meeting

Everyone is excited. The only question at present is whether Li Mu will be able to cheat Elon Musk and let him and Li Mu together cheat eBay when he comes to China.

However, everyone has great confidence in Li Mu. Li Mu's ability to persuade people is really extraordinary. Listening to him talking about things is basically the same as brainwashing.

……

At this time, Elon Musk, who is far away in Silicon Valley, was also very proud.

There is no doubt that he is going to go to China with the fundamental motive of "friendship meets porcelain". Why send Li Mu the favor first? What he is afraid of is that Li Mu will refuse to see himself in case of refusal, or he will not be able to find time to see himself in a short time.

If I can't see Li Mu, how can I put pressure on eBay? Now PayPal's team is in the most critical period of negotiation with eBay, and the two sides are stuck in a stalemate. It is urgent to break the deadlock with some external factors.

At present, eBay is desperate to make a $1.5 billion offer and refuses to raise even a cent. PayPal's team knows that this is the highest offer and the best condition they can get in the global Internet industry, but they still want to try their best to raise the price a little more.

So now Elon Musk's idea is very simple. Once he sees Li Mu, once he sees Li Mu, Li Mu is really a bully. In more than a year, he has built two huge Internet empires in China and started to expand. EBay must be very afraid of him. Once he sees Li Mu, once eBay feels it Under pressure, the deadlock of $1.5 billion is likely to be broken.

If you want to meet Li Mu's friendship once, it will eventually be reflected in eBay's offer, which is a billion yuan increase, or two billion or more.

To say the least, even if the price can be raised from $1.5 billion to $1.51 billion, is that a great progress? Ten million dollars! If I can earn ten million dollars by going to China, I will never get off the plane again! Fly to 50, then get off the plane and enjoy life.

Now Li Mu has promised to meet with him in three days, so Elon Musk knows that his plan has been successful, so his mood is particularly beautiful.

After asking the Secretary to book a ticket for himself, Elon Musk began to actively arrange the next work of the team, so as to prepare himself for going to China the day after tomorrow.

This time, Elon Musk is going alone. He wants to meet Li Mu, a young man from China, who is 20 years old and has made such brilliant achievements. Even in his heart, Elon Musk admires Li Mu very much.

Peter Teer, his partner, was very happy with Elon Musk's move. When Elon Musk had arranged his work, he went to Elon Musk and said to him privately, "Elon, you must try to contact with Li Muduo this time in China. Then I will let the domestic media make a lot of reports. As soon as the domestic media reports, I will immediately slow down and EBay's negotiation will be in a hurry. Once they are in a hurry, we will ask for a new valuation. If we are lucky, we may sell another one or two billion yuan. "

Elon Musk nodded and said with a sly smile: "don't worry, as long as you make a big move, eBay will definitely bear great pressure. Li Mu of China is still very capable, and eBay will certainly be afraid."

"Maybe that Li Mu will be interested in acquiring PayPal," said Peter Teer

Elon Musk shook his head and said, "I don't think it's possible. Although Li Mu is very powerful and has enough strength to acquire PayPal, he has no reason to do so. At present, the development of YY overseas is his top priority, and his Taobao to the U.S. market will not be satisfied, so PayPal is of little use to him."

Peter Thiel asked him, "does eBay feel the same way?"

Elon Musk said confidently: "don't worry. In eBay's current mindset, they can't do objective and in-depth analysis. They are just like little boys who are just with the infatuated girl. At this time, even if the girl looks at other boys more, he will be anxious, not confident, and will feel scared, regardless of whether the girl and the boy have it or not It's possible that at a glance it's so serious. If this girl suddenly goes to another boy's house to be a guest, what will he think? "

Peter Thiel said with a smile: "this is really your best plan! Then I will be waiting for your good news in Silicon Valley! ""Don't worry," said Elon Musk confidently, "I'm sure that this time I can use Li Mu of China to increase our valuation by at least $100 million!"
