My Age of Investment

  Chapter 1011 The Quartet Wins Together (Bunny Bear Leader 610)

  Ma Yun received an urgent call from Cai Congxin late at night. At this moment, he was driving to the company in the car. He took the time to call Xia Jingxing. How could he be in the mood to joke with Xia Jingxing.

  "Daren, have you received any news? Microsoft is going to acquire Yahoo!"

  Hearing Ma Yun’s tone was very heavy, Xia Jingxing stopped teasing and replied: “I see, Jerry just talked to me on the phone, and asked me if I want to play together.”

  Let’s play!

  Ma Yun's mind quickly turned, what does this mean? Vision Capital or Facebook want to buy Yahoo? Did the acquisition start? That's $44.6 billion!

   Controlling the surprise and doubt in his heart, Ma Yun asked calmly: "Do you want to buy Yahoo too?"

   "No no, I refused."

  After speaking, Xia Jingxing heard a big breath on the other end of the phone, and immediately knew it.

  This classmate Xiao Ma, it seems to be almost patterned! Need training!

  At this time, Ma Yun said firmly: "Dalun, we must prevent Microsoft from acquiring Yahoo!"

   "Why? Microsoft is a stronger shareholder than Yahoo!"

   "It is because Microsoft is too strong that we have to stop this transaction, and I heard that Microsoft's corporate culture is very strong, the newly appointed CEO Ballmer is not a good person to get along with."

  Ma Yun’s mouth was like a cascade of beads, and he kept turning his words out.

   "If Microsoft puts any pressure on Ah Li, or questioning some of our development strategies, it may bring disastrous consequences to Ah Li."

"Microsoft is not Yahoo, it has come to China to expand its business very early, and Gates is the world's richest man and has a great influence in the world, and he has a good relationship with our upper-level people. What if he wants to acquire Ari? ?"

"Dalun, you know, I'm the kind of person who prefers to smash jade rather than complete it. If it is true, the interests of all shareholders will be lost. I don't want to see any step. Have deep feelings."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "I know, I understand you, isn't this the character hasn't been swiped yet? Don't be too nervous."

   "Can I not be nervous? Darren, don't be too optimistic. This matter has a great impact on Ari. We must be cautious."

  Xia Jingxing can probably understand some of Ma Yun’s worries, which stems from the worry that the other party does not control many shares.

  At present, the largest shareholder of Ari’s parent company is Yahoo, holding 26%, followed by Vision Capital and Softbank, holding 23% and 20%, respectively. Jack Ma and the team together hold only 31%.

If Microsoft takes over the 26% of Yahoo’s shares, and then uses Yahoo Japan to trade with SoftBank’s PY, and then wins over the second shareholder who has a good personal relationship with Gates, 69% shares to 31% shares, Jack Ma and his team will Cured to death.

  Ali does not have a double-layered equity design structure for AB shares, and the partnership system will not be launched until next year. This is the weakest moment of Ari’s management.

  Xia Jingxing understands a little bit that he just said that he does not plan to acquire Yahoo, so why Jack Ma is relieved.

  Vision Capital and Yahoo together hold 49% of the shares, which is very close to the holding line.

  The current Ma Yun absolutely can't stand the emergence of such a powerful shareholder, which will greatly threaten Ma Yun's control of Ari.

  Xia Jingxing said quietly: "Then you can talk about it, what do you want to do?"

  "Of course, it is best to maintain the status quo. Without any uncertain factors, Ari’s development is better than every day, creating the greatest return for shareholders."

  The corners of Xia Jingxing's mouth raised slightly, and the fox's tail finally appeared.

   "Lao Ma, this may be a little difficult. We are not shareholders of Yahoo, and we cannot obstruct their decision."

   "I know, but we can persuade Yang Zhiyuan to influence him to achieve his goal."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "I understand, then I will try to persuade Jerry."

  Ma Yun sighed, "I plan to go to the United States in a few days. Let's go together?"

  Xia Jingxing thought for a while, and replied: "Okay, I will return to China in a few days. Let's go together after the New Year."

   hung up the phone, Xia Jingxing habitually tapped the desktop with his fingers, which was a manifestation of his thinking.

  Ma Yun is so resistant to the changes in Ari's equity, the next thing will be difficult.

  At the same time, Jack Ma asked him to persuade Yang Zhiyuan not to sell Yahoo, but in his heart he hoped that Yang Zhiyuan would sell Yahoo and thicken Microsoft's health bar. It would be good to fight Google for a few months.

   did not let Xia Jingxing wait too long, another protagonist, Mr. Gates, finally arrived late and made an overseas call.

  After a brief greeting, Gates cut directly to the topic: "Daren, I hope you can help me persuade Jerry, he seems to be very resistant to this deal.

  You should know that Microsoft and Yahoo are now not Google’s rivals in the search business.

  If Yahoo and us continue to fight separately, sooner or later they will fall at the feet of Google.

  Only by combining, there is a ray of life, and it is also in the interests of all shareholders of the two companies.

  Jerry seems to lose face. He may think that selling Yahoo has affected his personal reputation.

  This is ridiculous and naive!

  I heard that you and him are friends, and both are Chinese. Maybe he can listen to what you say. "

  Xia Jingxing listened quietly to Gates's venting emotions. It seemed that the old man had received a lot of irritation from Yang Zhiyuan. It should be the first round of negotiations that collapsed.

  After Gates finished speaking, Xia Jingxing responded with full accent: "Mr. Gates, don't get excited. Since you called me today, I will help you for your favor!"

  There was a hearty laughter from the other end of the phone: "Haha, Darren, I know that you are the most sensitive to friendship."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “I’m not sure if I can convince Jerry, he is a very stubborn person sometimes, or that we Chinese take face seriously.”

   Gates also said very beautifully: "No matter whether things are successful or not, I remember Darren for your help today."

  "I will try my best. Tell me some of your ideas, so I can persuade Jerry."

  Gates introduced Microsoft’s acquisition plan to Xia Jingxing in detail, and promised to retain the Yahoo brand, but the search business must be merged into Microsoft’s search business system.

  However, Gates is silent about Microsoft's reserve price.

  This old fox!

  Xia Jingxing smiled secretly, the other party was afraid that he would inform Yang Zhiyuan, the pattern was smaller.

   "Okay, Mr. Gates, wait for my news!"

  Xia Jingxing hung up the phone with a grin, and then threw the phone on the table. So insincere, why would you invite someone to come? Let's play by yourself!

  He rubbed the center of his eyebrows, and then began to peel off the cocoon, carefully analyzing the different demands of Yang Zhiyuan, Ma Yun, and Gates.

  To match this business, the most basic condition is to achieve a win-win situation for all parties!
