Vol 6 Chapter 477: Admission

? This noon, the staff of Sun Zhengyi's office, under his command, went round and round to collect the information he needed.

He didn't quite believe that Feng Yiping would really participate in the acquisition of Yahoo, because Feng Yiping should be very clear that his Softbank is a major shareholder of Yahoo.

And Feng Yiping should understand very well that the current SoftBank is not the SoftBank that retired from Ali very cooperatively before.

Feng Yiping should not and will not expect that SoftBank will provide him with cooperation in such acquisition projects.

Therefore, Sun Zhengyi is always skeptical about Feng Yiping's intentional rumors about Yahoo, but from the current situation, this is really no joke.

After all, it is impossible for Microsoft to joke with Feng Yiping.

So, did Feng Yiping think about taking advantage of Microsoft to complete this plan?

After all, with Microsoft in existence, SoftBank, it is not easy to do some things too much.

As a person once known as the Internet emperor, he is very aware of Microsoft's virtues. In those years, most of the companies that opposed Microsoft have died under Microsoft's hands.

Sometimes it can even be said that Microsoft is living, and nothing is left.

Although he briefly replaced Gates and became the world's richest man without certification for a day, he knew without certification that his SoftBank currently has no qualifications to weigh Microsoft.

Feng Yiping's hand was really bad for his conscience.

Therefore, he is now facing a very difficult choice.

In his view, among all the companies currently bidding for Yahoo, the strongest and most likely to win is of course the combination of Microsoft and NEXTDOOR.

After Chief Yang let go, they undoubtedly have a great chance of a successful acquisition.

If their acquisition is successful, then the problem will come.

Because Yahoo still holds nearly 40% of Yahoo Japan!

Therefore, the successful acquisition of Yahoo means that Feng Yiping has since then entered the Japanese market dignifiedly, and is qualified to enter the Japanese market through one of his important businesses.

This is a result that he absolutely cannot accept.

He is still planning to find ways to disrupt the development of Feng Yiping’s Facebook and YouTube in Japan. As a result, when he turned around, Feng Yiping became the largest shareholder of Yahoo Japan, which has an absolute dominant position in the Japanese Internet field. , So that we can develop social and e-commerce business in Japan on a higher and better basis... Isn’t this a joke?

Sun Zhengyi stood in front of the window, his eyes faint, as if crossing the vast American land, from the east of the United States to the west, seeing Feng Yiping standing behind Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, implicitly but proud Laughing...

He was not sure if Feng Yiping did this to target these two points, taking advantage of Microsoft, and targeting Yahoo Japan.

But obviously, for him, he must do such a response now.

So, in the end, what measures he should take is already very clear.

However, even with his liking for big scenes and his gambling temperament, it is difficult for him to make such a decision right away.

It seems that Yahoo's acquisition is a foregone conclusion, and the final turnover must be more than 40 billion U.S. dollars. If he intervenes, then SoftBank needs to raise at least more than 30 billion U.S. dollars in funds except for its own shares.

Because according to the current relevant regulations in the United States, acquisitions like this are not actual holdings or absolute holdings. If a major shareholder like SoftBank has an acquisition trend, then all remaining shareholders have the right to demand They bought their shares at the same price.

That is, if they make such a decision, they cannot make the dream of buying close to 30% of the shares, and the absolute holding of more than 51% will be closed, but the remaining more than 70% of the shares need to be acquired. .

Now in 2008, Feng Yiping also said that the real crisis of subprime mortgage is still in the future, and the hazard of subprime mortgage will be really weakened when the next year is the fastest.

But anyone can think that the negative impact of subprime mortgages cannot be eliminated so quickly, that is, in the next two years, when the entire capital market is tightening, the risk of implementing such a large amount of acquisition plan is higher. In normal years.

But, not to shoot?

He looked at the companies that jumped out again, and still felt that they could only add some excitement to the scene, and would definitely not bring actual threats to the combination of Microsoft and NEXTDOOR.

There is a risk if you do it; if you don’t do it, you will never accept the consequences...

From morning to afternoon, Sun Zhengyi's brows have never been loosened.

But a piece of news he saw shortly after afternoon promptly made him determined. On Yahoo’s own website, a message was published, “The joint acquisition team formed by Microsoft and NEXTDOOR arrived at Yahoo for a new round of talks.”

At this time, he could no longer tolerate his hesitation. Immediately, the bankers collected by SoftBank from all over the world appeared on the big screen opposite Sun Zhengyi in the conference room.

"Announce a decision," Sun Zhengyi stood in the field, looked at all the executives under his command, and said very concisely, "I will announce a message to the outside world before 5 o'clock in the afternoon in the US East, and SoftBank will also initiate the acquisition of Yahoo! ,"

On the big screen opposite him, those people with different skin tones, their expressions were highly unified at this time, all of them were dumbfounded.

After a short silence, because many people spoke at the same time, Sun Zhengyi could only hear the annoying "buzzing" sound from the microphone.

"Quiet!" he shouted, frowning.

"I am not asking you to discuss the feasibility of this project. I am telling you that from now on, new investment projects will be suspended in principle, and all resources and energy will be allocated to the acquisition of Yahoo."

In fact, his subordinates have long been accustomed to his statement.

Although SoftBank has a large number of bankers from all over the world, he alone makes decisions about what projects to invest in, or 99.99% of the decisions related to investment acquisitions.

Only this time, there were more opinions from the subordinates.

In any case, as SoftBank, which always pays attention to the high-tech field, and as a shareholder of Yahoo, they naturally pay attention to relevant news.

The biggest gap lies in the chief financial officer. He originally thought that it would not take long for the company to have close to 10 billion dollars in revenue, but now it seems that let alone the revenue, he has to find a way to raise tens of billions of dollars.

"President," he quickly calculated, "This means that we need to raise at least 35 billion US dollars in a very short period of time to have a chance of winning. I want to say that in the current environment, this is a very arduous task,"

Feng Yiping has analyzed with Lao Ma and Jin Ling that Sun Zhengyi's investment strategy has always been to use the proceeds of previous investments to make the next investment.

And because of Feng Yiping's intervention, his most successful investment project so far is still Yahoo, but Yahoo has failed to generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue for him.

What's more, this project is aimed at Yahoo.

So after his decision, the funding issue is the biggest issue.

Hearing the words of the chief financial officer, he couldn't help but think of Feng Yiping.

He really doesn't know, where does Feng Yiping get so much money now?

In the past few years, his projects in the United States, including the restaurant that is hated by many Japanese, and the huge headquarters park, have spent a lot of money in it. At present, he has not created much real income. Where is he? So much money to participate in such a big investment project?

"Enable all financing channels, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States... and even Chinese banks have extensive contacts."

He knows that Chinese banks are often happy to provide financing for well-known companies like them.

"Using all our methods, mortgage all the assets that we can mortgage, and cash out all the investments that are expected to have no substantial increase in income in the next few years..." he quickly ordered.

Now that he had made up his mind, he immediately became very determined.

"The acquisition of Yahoo~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is an excellent opportunity for our business to take another step forward," he cheered everyone on.

"At the same time, I have to tell everyone that the acquisition of Yahoo is also to protect our core assets and business in Japan."

"So," he bowed to the big screens, "Mrs., please!"

…………

Compared with before entering the meeting room, Sun Zhengyi who came out of the meeting room was like a different person.

Before entering, he was still a little bit worried about gains and losses. After he came out, he was completely a general who was ready to start a war and was confident that he would win the war.

He hurried back to the office and called his assistant loudly, "Connect me to Microsoft Ballmer's office."
