After a casual glance, when he found that the time on the computer was already past 4:30 in the afternoon, Cummins's heart was still hanging, and suddenly he grabbed it.

After looking at his BlackBerry, it showed that there were no missed calls. He dialed the secretary's number, "Michelle, is there a call for me?"

Michelle felt a little strange, did you have any special explanations? Didn't all the previous calls be answered with you? "Not now, Mr. Cummins,"

After about five seconds of silence, she heard the boss' request, "I want to see my schedule for tomorrow."

Attend Tesla’s regular half-month report on the progress of each system, coordinate the move in of Marvel’s game department, listen to NEXTDOOR’s next quarterly work plan... Cummins quickly browsed the above schedule from top to bottom , And did not find any item related to eBay.

But judging from my own feelings in the morning, the eBay side obviously wants to finalize this matter as soon as possible, or to make a decision.

Cummins can roughly guess the reason why they have such a performance. Obviously everyone knows that if their boss is allowed to operate like this, several companies that are interested in Skype should still actively continue to raise prices.

So, why haven’t they had any phone calls until now?

Even if you don’t hold the second round of talks tomorrow, at least you have to book the time for the second round of talks, right?

This made the worry in his heart aggravated a lot.

It should be because I conveyed it to eBay in the afternoon, and the boss's opinion was somewhat too strong.

As a former Wall Street elite, Cummins has never seen such a negotiation. It is not so easy for any company to cancel the gambling agreement on the purchase amount of at least 1 billion US dollars.

Although he believes that since the boss made such a decision, he must have his reasons, but to be honest, he himself is still a little uncertain.

Perhaps this is why there is no call from eBay?

But eBay did not call, and Cummins was faintly relieved. What he was most worried about was receiving a call from eBay, but the content was something he didn't want to hear. "On behalf of the company, I am sorry to inform you and ask you to tell. Feng, we have to abandon this proposal because of huge differences in terms of the acquisition."

Since I haven't received this call, at least it is possible that eBay is still in an emergency meeting to discuss the boss's opinions?

But seeing more and more people off work in the park below, Cummins is unstoppable and anxious. This is a $40-worth M&A, and there will be no chance to deal with it.

If you don't want to act too impetuously, or make Feng Yiping feel that he is not very confident in his decision, he will want to call Feng Yiping to ask if he has received a call from Whitman.

At 7:30 in the evening, the lights in the eBay conference room finally went out. Cummins, who was having dinner at home, finally waited for the call. Now, he couldn’t bear it anymore and immediately called Feng Yiping to announce the good news, “Feng, eBay hopes Hold the second round of talks with us tomorrow,"

"Oh," Feng Yiping's reaction sounded very flat, which made Cummins involuntarily admire him. How strong is this self-confidence?

"Then you may be very busy tomorrow. I just received a call. News Corp. will also have a team visiting tomorrow. The person in charge is Lachlan Murdoch, the deputy chief operating officer?"

"Mr. Murdoch's eldest son?" The surprised Cummins couldn't help but confirm.

"Yes, it's him,"

Cummins at this time really understands the line that often appears in Stephen Chow's movies, "I admire you like a torrential river,"

…………

At 10 am the next morning, eBay’s team led by Chief Operating Officer Bob arrived in the meeting room yesterday, "Hello Cummins," he looked at it, "Mr. Feng?"

"Oh sorry Bob, Feng has an important meeting now," he looked at the table below, "it started as soon as I went to work in the morning, and it's not over yet? It's really long,"

Bob just wanted to know Feng Yiping’s attitude towards this meeting, but they analyzed it before they came. It is precisely because Feng Yiping should attach great importance to this meeting, that’s why he has a great possibility. No Will show up before the meeting just like yesterday.

So, he smiled and asked casually, "Oh, who is so honored?"

Cummins hesitated a little, "It's Lachlan Murdoch,"

"Huh?" The smile on Bob's face solidified for a moment, but only in a moment, "Is Mr. Murdoch's eldest son?"

Although there are many people with the surname Murdoch, the only person who can be met by Feng Yiping is the Murdoch family.

Besides, what they are most worried about right now is not News Corp and Yahoo?

"Bob, we only received the call last night, but they arrived this morning," Cummins said.

"Understandable," this must be one of your means of raising prices, "Cummins, I remember that we had a consensus. At this stage, our contacts and our conditions are all confidential to third parties."

"Please, Bob, do you think we will deliberately leak the news to News Corp?" Cummins' face didn't even smile at all.

"I just emphasized our consensus," Bob said with a smile.

Over there, their CFO Rajiv Duta has stood up and walked out, "Sorry, I will answer the call first."

Everyone knows that he is going to make a call first.

His call was very brief. After he returned, he whispered a few words with Jeff Jordan, the current president of PayPal, and the latter immediately stood up and said, "Sorry Cummins, I will accompany you."

…………

At 10:30, the door of Feng Yiping's office finally opened. In the conference room of News Corporation, in front of Mrs. Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, who behaved a little shamelessly, behaved in front of Feng Yiping. Feng Yiping, who is very decent and nearly ten years younger than himself, showed great respect, "Mr. Feng, thank you for your precious time,"

"Where, haha," Feng Yiping smiled and accompanied them to the elevator, "I also hope to have another chance to hear your opinions on the media industry, and don't forget, next time I go to Los Angeles, you I must arrange for me to go to the shooting site of "Modern Family."

"That's my honor," Lachlan Murdoch said with a smile, "but which actor do you want to see the most?"

Feng Yiping laughed, "Well, you know," he blinked.

Oh, Lachlan Murdoch understood right away, man!

"Of course, it's best to be able to see all of them, you know, no matter how busy I am, I never missed every episode of this show,"

He has seen it this way, but not now, but before.

"I must pass this rare compliment to all members of the crew immediately," Lackland said jokingly.

"Then, goodbye, at noon, I have prepared Man Tingfang, hoping to satisfy you, and for other questions, Cummins will contact you specifically in the afternoon."

"Wu Qian," he called out, "Send Lachlan to me,"

"Yes Feng," Wu Qian came over, followed by a person, "Feng, Mr. Jordan has been waiting for you for a long time,"

"Hello, Mr. Feng," Jeff Jordan, the current president of PayPal, walked over eagerly.

"Hi Jordan," Feng Yiping shook his hand, "Why are you not there now?"

"I very much hope to hear your views on PayPal," Jeff Jordan said.

"Just, is it too early now?" Feng Yiping said.

"Goodbye, Mr. Feng," Lachlan called out, who had already entered the elevator.

"Goodbye, Lachlan," Feng Yiping waved over there.

Jeff Jordan looked at Lachlan with a smile, and Lachlan looked at Jeff Jordan and nodded.

Feng Yiping saw their little interaction in his eyes. Originally, he didn't plan to accompany Murdoch's son to dinner at noon, but now it seems that if you attend, maybe the effect will be good?

Looks like a good talk? Jeff Jordan said in his heart, "Not too early Feng, I believe you will become a close partner of eBay and PayPal,"

"Please sit down," Feng Yiping led him into his office, "PayPal is a very good product, you know, because of my friend and partner Musk, I have a more natural affinity for it,"

"Actually, I do have some problems now. Look, can you tell me about the current situation of PayPal?"

"Good Mr. Feng~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Since PayPal became a subsidiary of eBay in July 2002..."

It should have been authorized in advance, and Jeff Jordan’s introduction took nearly half an hour.

After Feng Yiping listened to it, he thought for a while, "I have an idea, Mr. Jordan, do you think that re-independence is more conducive to the development of PayPal?"

"I will convey your opinion to Ms. Whitman,"

…………

Naturally, he conveyed to Whitman more than this opinion.

In the afternoon, when Feng Yiping accompanied News Corporation's group back to the park from Man Tingfang, Cummins and Lachlan each took their own people into the conference room, Feng Yiping received another call from Whitman.

"Feng, I heard that the News Corp team has arrived today?" Whitman's voice during this call was very different from the past.

Without the unabashed anger at the beginning, nor the pretended politeness of the previous few times, it sounded like a chat with old friends.

Perhaps, it was mainly because Feng Yiping maintained enough respect for her during the call yesterday, and faintly regarded them as a class of people.

"Yeah, it's a coincidence to say," Feng Yiping said.

"I heard that you and Murdoch had a good conversation?"

"Yes, you also know that now we and News Corp. have reached a number of cooperation, some of which are executed by Lachlan,"

"Then Feng, can I take the liberty to ask about the terms of News Corp?"

"Well, well, I think you will be clear in the future, so I can tell you that their current offer is more than $3 billion, but less than $4 billion. Of course, they don't have any additional bets."

"I understand," Whitman said after a moment of silence.
