Vol 6 Chapter 472: Additional requirements

"Ballmer," Feng Yiping interrupted him quickly, "Don't, stop saying this word, okay?" He stood up, looking a little tight.

Think about it, a bald old white man who looks a little funny, smiled wretchedly and said to a young guy "I don't think it's sweet enough."

That picture, tut, just think about it...

Ballmer didn't quite understand why Feng Yiping had such a big reaction, because his focus at this time was not on this at all.

"I mean, our two families, why don't we join together to buy?" he proposed.

"You see, you are very focused on Yahoo's news supplement to your products, and we want to get their search business,"

Feng Yiping poured himself a rare glass of wine and added a lot of ice cubes in it, "Come on, Ballmer, let alone you don't covet Yahoo's online advertising business,"

"Oh, you are right to remind," Ballmer said immediately, "Did I forget to say, we really attach great importance to Yahoo's online advertising business,"

"But Feng, this shouldn't be a problem. I think for your company, you should not value Yahoo's current share of online advertising."

Feng Yiping smiled, "It shouldn't be Microsoft, which has a profit of tens of billions of dollars. Don't you value this share?"

Feng Yiping was a little bit reluctant.

Ballmer's proposal was naturally in his expectation, so he had a plan.

"Well, let's put aside our differences on this for the time being, and think about the benefits of our cooperation," Ballmer stood up and walked to Feng Yiping's side.

Feng Yiping stayed away from him calmly, it was the scene just now, tusk!

"We don't need to bid first. I believe you are not willing to complete an M&A in such a form of self-harm, do you?"

"I know that funding shouldn't be a problem for you, but I believe you and our principles are consistent in some things,"

"For Yahoo, a company that cares most about the purchase price rather than the future development of the company, we cannot be generous in the purchase price."

His words are very high-sounding, but after all, is it not to save money?

To say that saving money is really not the focus of Feng Yiping's consideration in this matter, but Microsoft attaches importance to this point, and he must also pay attention to this point.

"I totally agree with you," he said.

"Think about it again, your company joins hands with us, even if there are other companies that want to take action, can they be our competitors?" Ballmer said.

"Whether it is from the financial strength or the development of Yahoo after the acquisition, who else can do better than our two joint efforts?"

This is really not bragging. The combination of an old technology company like Microsoft and a new upstart like Feng Yiping, who is known for their outstanding vision, is really an invincible combination.

"Finally, if you think about it again, Yahoo has things that we value, and there are businesses that we don’t care too much about. It just so happens that we get what we need. I believe you are not willing to spend more than 40 billion US dollars, buy a few things you can Sure, plus a bunch of business that you don’t actually care about."

"Well Ballmer, you persuaded me," Feng Yiping said. "In principle, I don't object to our two joint acquisitions of Yahoo."

"I agree that the two of us can work out a common plan of action within a few days and resolve the differences in the business sectors that we all value."

"Haha," Ballmer laughed happily again, "Feng, trust me, our cooperation will be the best!"

"I'm not sure about this," Feng Yiping said.

While Ballmer's face changed a little, he added, "But I believe that our cooperation will definitely be the most economical."

"The most economical is the best," Ballmer said immediately.

Feng Yiping asked in his heart, "Really?"

"I can promise you now that after we join forces, I will not ask about the specific acquisition negotiation strategy. However, I require that I have the right to stop, and this right is exclusive and unconditional."

"Do you mean to stop the acquisition?" Ballmer asked.

"You understand it right," Feng Yiping said.

"Feng, I don't quite understand this," Ballmer frowned.

"I mean, when bidding with other competitors, if I think that our efforts are not proportional to the future rewards, I have the right to stop."

"I can guarantee that my stop is based on my expectations for future development," Feng Yiping added.

Moving out of this reason, he believes that, let alone Ballmer or Gates, he dared not face Feng Yiping, saying that his grasp of future development trends is more accurate than Feng Yiping.

"That is, if I stop, then my stop will definitely be tested by time,"

"So Ballmer, this is actually a question of trust. I believe you, Gates and Microsoft. Do you believe me?"

To Feng Yiping's sincere gaze, Ballmer said in his heart that he definitely didn't believe it.

In the shopping malls, people who trust their partners unconditionally will probably not even have any underwear before long.

The problem is that, just as Feng Yiping thought, they really couldn't question Feng Yiping's vision.

Because Feng Yiping's precise vision has already passed time and time again.

It's just that, after all, this is an acquisition involving tens of billions of dollars, and it is a big action planned by him before he will truly succeed Gates.

Whether it is for him personally or for Microsoft, this can't be wrong.

Therefore, he is obviously not easy to answer "yes" or "no" to Feng Yiping's questions on such occasions.

"I want to add one more point," Feng Yiping said. "In this regard, I ask not only to get your personal commitment, but I also ask that Gates' personal commitment must be obtained."

Gates?

"Ballmer, don't think too much, I have no other meaning at all," Feng Yiping explained, looking at Ballmer's face.

He also knows that Bill Gates plans to formally hand over the rights to Ballmer in June. Since then, he has only served as the chairman of Microsoft and no longer has to deal with specific business matters, so he can focus most of his energy on charity.

But at this time, he made such a request, in Ballmer's view, it may have the meaning of despising him and distrusting him.

"It's just that this matter is of great importance, and your work in the past few months has fully explained that while this work is in progress, it must be fast and decisive. I don't hope that there will be extra branches. appear,"

"For example, the Microsoft board temporarily opposed our decision,"

His reason is very strong.

Ballmer is not Gates after all, and it is impossible for Jobs to hold the dual roles of chairman and CEO like Jobs at Apple.

Ballmer also knows that the Microsoft board of directors mentioned by Feng Yiping actually refers to Gates.

"So I thought, should you talk to Gates first, and then tell me the answer?"

"Okay," Ballmer is also a very decisive person, "I will contact Seattle,"

Although Feng Yiping's request for this right is somewhat confusing for him, thinking about the benefits of their joint acquisition of Yahoo with Feng Yiping, he feels that this request is not unsatisfactory.

The reason why he thinks so is his confidence as a specific person in charge of Microsoft.

He believed that no one would take the initiative to come to the door and set up a set for Microsoft on such a major event.

Microsoft has never been a company that can tolerate such behavior.

Most of the companies that challenged them and affected them in the past have long since disappeared.

The remaining ones, either acquired by Microsoft, or no longer pose any threat to them, are not worth even a glance.

He believes that Feng Yiping will not and dare not use some bad thoughts on such a major event~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Two hours later, I will give you an answer."

"I'm waiting for your news," Feng Yiping sent him to the elevator.

…………

In New York, Sun Zhengyi quickly got the relevant report. Ballmer stayed in Feng Yiping's office for more than an hour, and finally left with ease...

"Leaving with ease?" Sun Zhengyi's gaze stayed on that sentence for a long time.

Shortly after he got this report, Feng Yiping received a call, not Ballmer, but Bill Gates, "Feng, I completely agree with your proposal and request, and we will definitely cooperate happily as before!"

"It will be the result in the end," Feng Yiping answered Gates with a smile.
