Vol 5 Chapter 1127: design

This evening in Mayer’s new home, Feng Yiping understood a word very intuitively, what is Wenrouxiang is a hero's grave.

At noon the next day, Nicholas Zenstrom, who rushed over from Denmark excitedly, met with Feng Yiping at the nextdr park, and saw Feng Yiping’s look that looked obviously more tired than himself. He didn’t talk to him. When talking about acquisitions, the first sentence is, "Feng, you must pay attention to rest,"

"Thank you Nick," Feng Yiping enthusiastically hugged the lucky entrepreneur.

This was the second time they met in less than two months. In this meeting, many things became clearer than last time.

Zengstrom couldn’t hide his excitement. This second venture of his own, and now it seems that he will finally no longer create a downloading myth like the music sharing software kazaa he launched, but in addition to music The industry stabbed a hornet's nest, and made a lot of music industry bigwigs hate themselves, and it did not bring any benefits.

This time, the success of the startup and the product launched is obvious to all. The number of Skype users has reached 165 million, and it is still growing rapidly at a scale of more than 100,000 people every day.

In terms of returns, the success of this venture will also be gratifying and amazing.

At the same time, Zengstrom, who has a degree in business management, is not an engineering house. From Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, including News Corporation, to now eBay, he can know that he is vying for an olive branch. I can see how this product I launched this time based on the free and shared spirit of the Internet can bring me in return.

After preliminary discussions with relevant professionals, Zengstrom understood that this time he started his own business, he would steadily enter the ranks of the billionaire club.

One thing that is not certain is whether he will become a billionaire of hundreds of millions or a billionaire.

It's not that he doesn't want to be the second Mark Cuban.

Because Yahoo bought the bradast website he founded for US$5.7 billion in 1999, Mark Cuban’s net worth is more than one billion. Since then, he has bought luxury houses, airplanes, and NBA teams. There is no shortage of beautiful women around him...

And this is why he rushed to Silicon Valley as soon as he received a call from Feng Yiping.

"You know, there have been a lot of things recently," Feng Yiping rubbed his temples and took a sip of black coffee.

"By the way Feng, I must first congratulate you. Congratulations on the two perfect mergers and acquisitions that have been completed and will be completed in China and the United States," Zengstrom said. "In the first quarter of the new year, the total amount is determined to be close to The acquisition of 5 billion US dollars, Feng You really is a big deal."

"Thank you, but I think that some of the mergers and acquisitions that I have completed and will make in the future will be overshadowed by the acquisition of Nick you," Feng Yiping looked at him and said, "The skype you founded will definitely become a lot in the future. The benchmark in the minds of entrepreneurs has become the peak they aspire to climb."

"Do you think so, Feng," Zengstrom couldn't suppress the joy on his face.

Before this venture, he naturally had a good vision, but compared with the current situation, those original visions are so conservative that they are not worth mentioning.

The return I will surely get this time will far exceed my original imagination.

"Of course, this is certain," Feng Yiping said affirmatively, "but Nick, I hope that you and the board of directors can authorize me to lead this acquisition."

"I don't have any problems at all," Zenstrom said immediately.

This was also unexpected. If a big coffee like Feng Yiping leads such merger negotiations, it will inevitably usher in the best results.

"I think the board is also very happy to see this situation," he added, "I will prepare for a board meeting as soon as possible."

This is also inevitable. In the business world, who still does not agree with Feng Yiping's vision and his ability?

Most of the people who are interested in acquiring Skype this time are high-tech companies in the United States. Who on the Skype board knows these companies better than Feng Yiping?

"But Nick, there is a very important point. The news I hope to disclose from you is that I am opposed to the sale of Skype," Feng Yiping continued.

Zengstrom thought for a while, "It's okay, I understand," he nodded, "This will naturally make those who intend to acquire our company consider raising their bids."

This is also a good thing, and he will naturally not refuse.

"Feng, in that case, you not only have clear goals, but also specific strategies, ha ha," he couldn't help laughing.

This is simply great!

"The company that has the strongest willingness to acquire us and is therefore most likely to pay a high price, I believe you understand in your heart, right," Feng Yiping said.

"Therefore, I think the board will not worry about the conflict of interest that may arise because I am a major shareholder of Google."

Feng Yiping said this because Google also showed interest in skype.

"Yes, I think the board of directors can understand that for some companies that are interested in us, their main motivation is not really interested in us, but out of the need to contain competitors," Zenstrom Say.

Feng Yiping looked at Zengstrom and nodded appreciatively. He was a sensible person.

Similar situations, not to mention in Europe and the United States, are also common in China later. Bat often invests in one industry one after another. Sometimes, it is not that they are more optimistic about that industry, mainly because they do not want their opponents to be too relaxed and comfortable in that industry. , I always want to give them a bet.

This is also the starting point for Google this time.

Google is actually developing a similar product, which is later ggletalk.

They are not really determined to win skype, but because Microsoft and Yahoo, especially Yahoo, have shown interest in skype, they immediately came out to get in.

Some are similar to deliberately participating in the real and the fake in an auction, so that the opponent can raise the bid.

"Feng, I think, start forming a professional team now and let them assist you in your work, okay?" Zengstrom asked.

No matter how much you trust Feng Yiping, no matter how much you recognize Feng Yiping, it is natural that it is impossible for Feng Yiping to personally handle all such important matters that concern Feng Yiping. Of course, it is to assist and share him. Work, from one angle, of course is also a trade-off and supervision.

"Of course, after the board of directors has confirmed the authorization to me, the sooner this team is formed, the better," Feng Yiping knows this well and has no doubts.

Regardless of commercial principles, this is definitely a $1 billion acquisition. In the face of such a huge amount of interest, who would trust a person unreservedly and put this matter in his hands?

"But Nick, it's very likely ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ you may be involved in related work next, are you ready?"

"Feng, you mean, someone else knows that I have arrived in Silicon Valley and would like to meet me?"

"That's for sure. I believe that after you leave the park, you will soon receive an invitation to meet."

"I can probably also think of who would want to meet me most urgently," Zengstrom said. "Feng, this is the first time I know, because some people are hostile to us, which can increase our income. ,"

What he said was of course Whitman.

With the experience of the World Economic Forum, Whitman and Feng Yiping's feud, it can be said that everyone in the world who wants to know knows.

"No," Feng Yiping shook his head, "Whether it is me or my company, we have always advocated life and death competition. From this point of view, we have no enemies."

"Yes, Feng you are focused on opening up the blue ocean," Zengstrom justly praised Feng Yiping, "I am really worried for those individuals and companies who treat you as hostile objects, ha ha,"

"No, Feng, I have to stay with you for a while, I think, you have to teach me how to behave after seeing them for a while,"

How about life is like a play, for his own interests, Zengstrom also needs to act in the next.

"I think, first of all, the first point is that you should not just accept their invitation to meet, what do you think," Feng Yiping said.

Zenstrom thought for a while, "I totally agree."

"Next, I think it can be like this..."

"Yes, I think it can be done like this..."

Feng Yiping's office has temporarily turned into a two-person drama salon, but, for the time being, I don't know how high the box office they will be in this drama.
