Chapter 1601 Slap in the face on the spot

Ku Mao
Masik was completely confused by Chen Mo's words.
Before coming, Masik had deduced countless times how to get Chen Mo to have ideas about acquiring Paypal.
In his opinion, for a person of Chen Mo's worth, [-]% of the time he would not buy Paypal, because he has an electronic payment business, and Paypal is of little use to him.
Therefore, in Masik's view, the most likely possibility for Chen Mo is to reject him directly or indirectly.
But it doesn't matter. Masik himself doesn't want to sell Paypal to Chen Mo. He just wants to use Chen Mo's momentum to raise Paypal's valuation and let eBay add more money.
But who would have thought that just as he was proposing cooperation, Chen Mo would immediately start negotiating the acquisition!
This moment made Masik dumbfounded.
He calculated countless possibilities and preset countless solutions, but he did not expect that Chen Mo would directly negotiate an acquisition.
To be fair, even if Chen Mo is really interested in Paypal, he should never show any intention to acquire it!
Because once his will is exposed, he loses the initiative.
Generally speaking, even if Chen Mo really wanted to buy Paypal, he should have pretended not to be interested, belittled Paypal overtly or covertly, and then waited for Masik to make further sales, then reluctantly asked and lowered the price.
Therefore, Chen Mo had ten thousand ways to answer, but he chose the least likely one!
Chen Mo is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very shrewd. Since he answers like this, he must have his own wishful thinking.
Thinking of this, Masik felt that he was a little confused. He had not expected a solution to this situation. He could only ask according to the normal process: "Mr. Chen, do you want to acquire Paypal? Because you are particularly optimistic about Paypal's business." , or do you think our company has development potential? We can talk more about the details."
Chen Mo waved his hand: "I already have Zhidubao. Paypal is of little use to me. I want to buy it. I just want to add it directly to the name of Zhidubao in the future and become a payment channel for Zhidubao. That’s all.”
"Just quote a price. If it's cheap enough, I'll buy it. If it's too expensive, forget it. It's a dispensable thing anyway."
Chen Mo downgraded Paypal to a very low level when he first came up, and said without hesitation that he wanted to buy Paypal and then marginalize it into a small direct payment channel.
Once Chen Mozhen does this, the name of Paypal will no longer exist in the history of the Internet. People will only remember Direct Pay, not Paypal.
Masik felt a little uncomfortable.
Who can feel better when their own products are belittled like this?
He stabilized his mood a little and said to himself, eBay has already discussed the price of 15 billion Baguo coins. If the price can be higher if sold to Chen Mo, he can do whatever he likes.
So, Masik said to Chen Mo: "Mr. Chen, my expected price is: after all the shares and resources are packaged, the overall sale will be 25 billion Hegemony coins."
"25 billion hegemonic coins? Haha..."
Chen Mo sneered: "The price is nearly 200 billion yuan, and I am asked to buy a useless product. How dare you negotiate this price, Masike!"
Masik immediately said: "Paypal is definitely worth the price. You started out as an Internet product, so you should understand how broad the future is for the electronic payment business.
In the future, everyone will definitely have a mobile phone, and electronic payment software will also be installed on the mobile phone, then..."
Chen Mo: "Stop! You don't need to be like me. I know what your purpose is. You should be negotiating an acquisition with eBay now, right?"
Since the beginning of this project, you have gone through the wrong route several times. Although Paypal seems to be a very mature project, it is like a painter who understands his paintings. Although the final painting is beautiful enough, there are many flaws in it. It cannot withstand closer inspection, and there is absolutely no way to remediate it later. The painting is already finished, and the more you remediate it, the more ugly it will become.
You know this very well. You have no confidence in the future of Paypal, so you want to package and sell it all and use the money to do projects in other fields. "
Masik's smile froze.
Chen Mo suddenly exposed his biggest intention in negotiating the price, which brought the entire negotiation to a deadlock.
So Masik shook his head decisively: "No! Paypal is the most perfect and best project I have ever done. I did not discuss acquisition with eBay. I came today just to discuss cooperation with you, Mr. Chen. It was you who proposed the acquisition. I Only then will we consider the quotation.”
Ma Teng next to him breathed a sigh of relief.
He could tell from Masik's words that Masik was definitely negotiating an acquisition with eBay!
But he refused to admit it, otherwise the whole negotiation would be very passive!
Ma Teng was also very happy.
He had expected this a long time ago, so he dared to make a bet with Chen Mo!
As long as Masik refuses to admit it, he will win this bet!
Chen Mo smiled slightly: "Mr. Masik, I used that little trick of yours when I first debuted.
I guess you have contacted the media before coming here to build momentum for Paypal, and then use me to severely raise the price of Paypal, right? "
Masik was immediately embarrassed.
What he thought was a brilliant plan turned out to be as childish as a child playing house in front of Chen Mo, and everything was seen through.
But Masik has one characteristic, that is, even the thick-skinned city wall cannot be penetrated.
He shook his head firmly: "That's not the case. I came to you really to discuss cooperation."
Ma Teng gave Ma Xike a thumbs up in his heart!
Correct!
That's it!
Don't admit it if you bite it to death!
However, Chen Mo smiled slightly, immediately dialed a number and clicked on speakerphone.
"Hello, is this Mr. Omidyar?"
Hearing this name, the hair on Masik's body stood up.
Because the boss of eBay is none other than Pierre Omidyar!
What was Chen Mo's purpose in calling the eBay boss in front of him?
The answer is self-evident.
At this time, Masike's toes were constantly digging into his socks. It was so embarrassing that he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in his back!
Pierre Omidyar: "Hello Mr. Chen, it's an honor to speak with you."
Chen Mo: "That's right. I heard that you are currently negotiating an acquisition with Paypal? Are you interested in the electronic payment business?"
After pondering for a moment, Pierre Omidyar told the truth: "Well, actually I was inspired by your Taobao. I also want to do a business that combines an e-commerce platform with an electronic payment platform."
Chen Mo: "If you are interested, you can cooperate with me. Paypal's business is relatively immature, but my Direct Pay has already explored various fields of electronic payment and has stepped on all the pitfalls.
My Dibao also needs to cooperate with Baguo’s local e-commerce platform to expand overseas business.
As you can see how big my TT traffic is, it can just flow back to eBay.How about it, are you interested? "
Pierre Omidyar suddenly said with great excitement: "If that's the case, that would be great! Don't you know that the president of Paypal quoted me 15 billion Hegemony coins? I really don't want to ask for this. A lot of money to buy such an immature company!"
Chen Mo: "Haha, 15 billion is really not worth it. I will find a time to discuss the cooperation with you in detail, and I will hang up in advance."
Pierre Omidyar: "OK!"
The phone hangs up.
Chen Mo smiled slyly and glanced at Masik.
I saw that Masik's face was extremely pale, and his toes were almost digging out the three bedrooms and one living room...
