Vol 6 Chapter 478: The OA

It is very convenient to contact Ballmer's office. After a while, the assistant knocked on the door and came in, but there was an expression on his face that Sun Zhengyi didn't want to see.

It was a look of hatred and surprise.

Just make a phone call to make an appointment, you surprise me? What is the surprise, who is the surprise for?

"What's the matter?" Sun Zhengyi asked angrily.

Since the three Twitter guys came back from China, he has felt that good luck has left him alone. Every time such an abnormal expression appears on his subordinates’ faces, it means that something bad is happening again or Will happen.

"Ballmer's office seems to be waiting for us to call them," the assistant replied.

Nani?

This is a situation that makes Sun Zhengyi also stunned.

Waiting for me to call him?

Is there a mistake?

Calling Ballmer was after he finally made up his mind that SoftBank must also join the bid for Yahoo. He thought for a long time before he came up with an idea.

In other words, an hour ago, even he didn't know that he would call Ballmer at this time, but he has been waiting there?

Do you want to play Detective Conan for me?

But looking at the look on the assistant's face, he suddenly had an unknown premonition.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Sun Zhengyi also wanted to "Bah", why should I have an unknown premonition? Forget that when you have such a hunch recently, have it all been fulfilled that bad things will happen?

"When can I talk to Ballmer?" Sun Zhengyi asked.

"They said it's okay now," the assistant said.

"Why are you still standing here? Connect!"

Looking at the assistant's slightly panicked back, he missed the female assistants in the country, or they were more considerate.

"Steve, long time no see!" The call was quickly connected, and Sun Zhengyi immediately changed his tone.

"Hi Sun, how are you? I heard that you have been in the United States?" Ballmer still said loudly.

"Yes, there is still some work to be done," Sun Zhengyi said, really concerned about my situation, "Steve, I have to congratulate you, congratulations on your plan to acquire Yahoo, which is progressing smoothly."

"Haha," Ballmer laughed without concealing his pride, "It's going very smoothly now."

Following him, he suddenly broke Sun Zhengyi's intentions, "Sun, if I guessed correctly, you call me, do you have good news to tell me?"

Only then did Sun Zhengyi believe that the assistant's previous message was not wrong, and Ballmer now sounded like a roundworm in his stomach.

This made him feel more uneasy, but he still had to say, "Yes Steve, you are not wrong, I do have good news to tell you..."

"As one of Yahoo's major shareholders, SoftBank is also interested in Yahoo?" Ballmer said again.

This time, Sun Zhengyi said after hesitating, "Yes, we also decided to initiate an acquisition of Yahoo."

He felt at this moment whether it was necessary to say the rest.

Because, I feel that the other party knows what I want to say, which makes him feel very unreliable, and it also makes him feel that he is doing useless work.

If not, Ballmer's office will not wait for them to call, but will take the initiative to call.

But this time, Ballmer only said, "It seems that we have the same views on this issue."

That being the case, Sun Zhengyi decided to explain his intentions as soon as possible, "Then Steve, do you think that with us, the odds of winning will be higher?"

"As a major investor at the beginning of Yahoo's founding, and Yahoo's major shareholder for many years, I am very familiar with Yahoo's status, including the status of major shareholders, and I have some connections with other major shareholders."

"If Microsoft and Softbank join forces, then whether it is an agreement acquisition or a hostile acquisition, it will be more certain,"

"In addition to cooperating with the acquisition, I don't think we have any conflicts in our goals, because SoftBank has no intention of getting involved in the search and online advertising business in the United States."

"Because you mainly want to keep the Japanese market? Sun, this is a wise decision," Ballmer scrambled again.

In Sun Zhengyi's impression, Ballmer in the past is really not this style.

The key is that Ballmer also directly called through his attempt.

"Steve, you know, outside of Japan, SoftBank has always focused on investment, but because we have a good understanding of the domestic conditions in Japan, we have made some attempts in Japan."

"Your attempt was very successful. Yahoo Japan is already Yahoo's most important overseas asset," Ballmer said.

Sun Zhengyi fell silent, and his instinct told him that this must be what Feng Yiping meant.

"Sun, your proposal is very good, but it's a bit late," Sun Zhengyi heard over there.

"Is it late? Steve, I think the negotiation between you and Yahoo has just really begun. If you join hands with us, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort," Sun Zhengyi couldn't take care of so much at this time, and he just wanted to say All said it.

It is not that he failed to consider the difficulty of raising so much funds for SoftBank in the current environment, so joint acquisition with others is naturally a good way to greatly reduce the pressure on funds.

And since you plan to join forces with others, who is more suitable than Microsoft?

It can not only squeeze out Feng Yiping, but also ensure a successful acquisition. This is double insurance for Yahoo Japan, which he hopes to control.

As for Microsoft and Feng Yiping have issued a joint statement together, he feels that it is not a problem at all. For Microsoft, in the face of interests, what is such a statement?

Many more copies can be sent in minutes.

And he believes that among the high-tech companies in the United States, Microsoft can not give Feng Yiping a share, because Feng Yiping cannot pose a threat to Microsoft's core business at all.

"Your proposal is indeed very tempting, but I'm sorry Sun, it's really too late," Ballmer's voice didn't sound that high this time.

"The cooperation with Feng has been very smooth, and we have already clarified the relevant division of labor and responsibilities."

Ballmer remembered some of Feng Yiping's requirements when he met Feng Yiping for the second time on this matter. At this time, he could only admire Feng Yiping.

Some things are as he expected.

It is precisely because Feng Yiping foresaw such a possibility, so Microsoft tore up the agreement at this time, and the cost was not small.

Besides, Sun Zhengyi's proposal for cooperation is indeed too late. If Sun Zhengyi proposes cooperation shortly after Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo, then they must be desperate.

But now, the most important obstacle has been removed by Feng Yiping as scheduled. At this time, working with Sun Zhengyi will not bring them much convenience.

Although Ballmer said vaguely, Sun Zhengyi fully understood what he meant, that is, Feng Yiping had predicted it a long time ago, and made corresponding constraints in the cooperation with Microsoft.

He also understood why in the beginning, the assistant felt that Ballmer's office was waiting for them to call.

Feng Yiping must have told them about this possibility.

And his own phone call, as well as the remarks just now, proved the accuracy of Feng Yiping's prediction.

He didn't want to say a word at this time, "I wish you all the best,"

In Ballmer's office, Ballmer put down the phone and spread his hands to the people around him.

"Hang up?" someone asked.

"Can you not hang up?" someone answered immediately.

"Feng," Ballmer took a long breath, "I really thought of everything,"

"Fortunately, he is our partner, isn't he?" someone said immediately.

This really makes many people feel relaxed.

"Well, it's all verified, and it's gone," Ballmer began to rush people.

These guys, who didn't believe Feng Yiping's words at first, were convinced by all these strong crowds.

On the other side, Sun Zhengyi was walking around the office like a sleepy beast, breathing very thickly.

After turning his head a few times, he made a call in person, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "Jerry, I do not agree to sell Yahoo,"

"Sun, you have also seen that all investors agree with our decision," Chief Yang said. "Even if you disagree, you can't change the results of the shareholders meeting."

"I'm sorry, no matter what you think, I can't help you now," Chief Yang hung up the phone hastily.

A few days ago, in order to withstand the pressure of the board of directors and investors, he did not sell Yahoo and asked Sun Zhengyi for help. But at that time, did you stand on my side readily?

Want me to help you again now?

Since the establishment of Yahoo, you are the most worthy person.

So at this time, I'm sorry, I won't be with you!

There is no way, Sun Zhengyi sat down, and after a long time, he pressed the call button and "made a statement."

It's just that the general who was full of confidence not long ago now looks like a dead end...
