"Mr. Yang, Mr. Li, please keep this matter secret for the time being. I want to take the opportunity to take back some of the company's shares!" Lin Fengchong, Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong smiled mysteriously.

Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan were surprised when they heard this.

"Mr. Yang, you should be clear that the shares of the original'Yahoo' are extremely scattered. This is also the reason why although you are the founder of'Yahoo', you are unable to control many things!" Lin Feng is extremely serious Looking at Yang Zhiyuan.

When Yang Zhiyuan heard the words, he had many thoughts. The equity of "Yahoo" is too scattered. If it weren't for this, "Yahoo" would probably not fall to where it is today: poor innovation, difficulty in market development, and difficulty in capital turnover. Because of this, "Google" will not be left behind. In the end, "Microsoft" almost forcefully wants to acquire "Yahoo", so naturally it will not merge with "Baidu Portal".

What caused the dilemma of "Yahoo" nowadays, everything is because the shares of "Yahoo" are too scattered!

"Dong Lin, do you want to buy the shares in the hands of Timothy and others?" Yang Zhiyuan asked.

Lin Feng nodded.

"Yes, I do want to acquire the shares of'Yahoo' in the hands of Timothy and others. This will not only solve the crisis that the shares of'Yahoo' are too scattered and cause the company to split easily, but also make'Microsoft' stop attacking us. Idea!" Lin Feng said firmly.

After experiencing the "Baidu-Yahoo" emergency shareholder meeting in the early hours of this morning, Lin Feng has made a decision to permanently solve this problem. Otherwise, when these shareholders add chaos to themselves, Lin Feng would be annoyed to death. What worries Lin Feng even more is that "Microsoft"'s thief in acquiring "Baidu-Yahoo" has never died. Only in this way can this trouble be permanently eliminated.

Of course, Lin Feng still has a little selfishness. As long as "Baidu-Yahoo" can solve this crisis, when "Baidu-Yahoo" goes public in the future, its stock price will definitely be a price that makes itself extremely satisfied. However, if Lin Feng wants to ensure that his shares have sufficient control over "Baidu-Yahoo", then Lin Feng himself cannot sell any of his shares. And this is not insurance. Lin Feng can only guarantee that the "Baidu-Yahoo" shares held in his hands and in the hands of "Second Bank" will not be sold, but "South Africa Standard Bank" does not have the final say, Lin Feng Now it only owns 22% of the controlling rights, and now it is the South African shareholders who unanimously support themselves because of the South African government. However, in the future, the South African government will not support itself, or the South African shareholders have changed and agreed to sell the shares of "Baidu-Yahoo". Then Lin Feng may have a headache.

Therefore, Lin Feng now naturally wants to take the opportunity to buy more shares in the hands of Timothy and others. It just so happens that these people want to sell now. This is really a wish to fight a wish to suffer. However, Timothy and others were extremely greedy and charged too high a price, otherwise "Microsoft" would have swallowed "Yahoo" and would not wait for themselves.

Therefore, if Lin Feng wants to acquire shares of "Baidu-Yahoo" from his hands at the lowest possible price, he must create a panic and make these people mistakenly believe that the company is not working. That way, Lin Feng's acquisition can go smoothly. And now is an opportunity that couldn't be better. A golden opportunity of a lifetime.

Of course, all this requires the cooperation of Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan. Otherwise, without their cooperation, Lin Feng would not be able to complete the plan to acquire shares at a low price.

"Dong Lin, what do you want to do?" After a little thought, Yang Zhiyuan decided to support Lin Feng.

If Lin Feng can acquire a large number of "Baidu-Yahoo" shares in the hands of Timothy and others, there will be no harm to the company except having a shareholder who can absolutely control it. On the contrary, there is no harm, but there are many advantages. Lin Feng absolutely hopes that "Baidu-Yahoo" can succeed, and that it can surpass "google". In that case, there is nothing wrong with Yang Zhiyuan agreeing to Lin Feng's plan.

"It's very simple, you only need to cooperate with me." As they said, Lin Feng whispered in the ears of the two of them.

After listening, Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan gave Lin Feng a thumbs up, looking admired.

"Uh, Lin Dong, since I want to rectify Timothy's group this time, I also want to do my best." Yang Zhiyuan's face showed a trace of embarrassment and a trace of greed.

Lin Feng looked at Yang Zhiyuan's expression and knew that Yang Zhiyuan also wanted to take the opportunity to buy some shares and make some money. After all, after this listing, the stock price of the two companies "Baidu-Yahoo" must soar. If Yang Zhiyuan didn't want to take the opportunity to make some money, he would be really stupid.

"Okay, no problem, everyone gets rich!" Lin Feng patted Yang Zhiyuan on the shoulder. In some matters, verbal promises and written agreements are not strong. The strongest is the community of interests. Only when everyone becomes a community of interests, this alliance will be the strongest alliance.

"President Li, how about you? Make some money together?" Lin Feng looked at Li Yanhong with a smile.

When Li Yanhong heard the words, he was moved, but turned to helplessness on his face.

"Dong Lin, you also know that I can't be poor until now. I'm just an ordinary white-collar worker. The company is not listed. I haven't even bought a house yet!" Li Yanhong said helplessly.

Lin Feng suddenly laughed when he heard this. Indeed, "Baidu Portal" has not been listed before. As the founder of "Baidu", Robin Li is naturally "penniless." It is naturally impossible to spend a large amount of money to acquire shares.

It is needless to say that Robin Li's heartache is lost when he thinks of such a vain opportunity to make money. But he was helpless.

"Dong Lin, Mr. Yang, just play as much as you want. I can't accompany you this time!" Li Yanhong said helplessly.

When Yang Zhiyuan heard this, he also sighed. In this regard, he is also helpless. After all, the funds he can raise are also extremely limited, about 200 million US dollars. This amount of money he wants to buy shares feels small, let alone funding Robin Li.

Lin Feng saw Li Yanhong's scene, but also helpless. Lin Feng doesn’t have a lot of funds. What's more, what Lin Feng wants to acquire is as many shares as possible in the hands of Timothy and others, and Timothy and others have about 23% of the original "Yahoo" shares and want to acquire them. This batch of shares, based on the 49 billion issued by "Microsoft", is 11.27 billion U.S. dollars. Lin Feng himself has no choice but to do this huge sum of money. Of course, the current "Baidu-Yahoo" is facing the current crisis, and it is impossible for it to be worth so much money. However, no matter how small it is, it is still not what Lin Feng can handle with the funds on hand.

It can be said that Lin Feng himself has to find a way to raise funds, so naturally there is no way to help Robin Li.

At this moment, Lin Feng's mind flashed.

"Mr. Li, I can help you guarantee to the bank. Although the funds collected are not enough, there is still no problem with getting USD 1,200 million, depending on whether you are interested?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Really?" A golden light flashed in Li Yanhong's eyes. You know, this is an excellent opportunity to make money. If you miss it, you really don't know when it is. Naturally, he doesn't want to miss it. As for the loan, he really didn't care much. Anyway, as soon as "Baidu-Yahoo" is listed, all the money will be returned.

"Hehe, of course. There is absolutely no problem!" Lin Feng made a gesture that made Li Yanhong absolutely relieved.

This time, the reason why Lin Feng is so eager to pull Robin Li into this "chariot" is also that Robin Li can join his own small team of interests. This is absolutely necessary for Lin Feng to take charge of "Baidu-Yahoo" in the future. help. As long as there is Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan, Lin Feng does not have to worry about the control of "Baidu-Yahoo" in the future.

However, Lin Feng already has an object for the bank that raises funds-the Bank of East Asia.

Although the "Bank of East Asia" had violently set themselves together with Liao Bixin under Li Guobao's rebellion before, Lin Fengke had never given up on this bank. After all, he owns 29% of the bank’s shares, and also helped the "Bank of East Asia" stock price rise from over 30 Hong Kong dollars to the current 52 Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop. During this period, Lin Feng did a lot of effort and owed it too. Many favors, just give up like this, Lin Feng is definitely not reconciled.

Therefore, even though Lin Feng was in the United States during this period, he did not care less about the "Beauty of East Asia", and it was time to regain the controlling interest of the "Beauty of East Asia". When the controlling interest of the "Bank of East Asia" is recovered, Lin Feng can not only borrow funds again, but also solve Li Yanhong's funding problem.

However, before returning to Hong Kong, Lin Feng must act on the board of directors of "Baidu-Yahoo" with Robin Li and Zhiyuan Yang.

After the press conference, Yang Zhiyuan used his identity as CEO to convene a board meeting. As the former chairman of the board, Lin Feng is on the list.

"Mr. Yang, why is he here?" Timothy looked at Lin Feng with deep disgust on his face. If it weren't for this person, I'm afraid his shares would have been turned into more than one billion US dollars. Began to enjoy a good life.

Yang Zhiyuan sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"Timothy, although Mr. Lin has resigned from the position of chairman for the world, his resignation letter needs to be decided by the board of directors. Therefore, before that, he is still the chairman of our company. He is naturally eligible to attend this board meeting. "Yang Zhiyuan said.

Timothy snorted coldly.

"Then we will vote and discuss whether to agree with Lin Feng's resignation!" Timothy said immediately. He wanted Lin Feng to leave "Baidu-Yahoo" immediately. As long as Lin Feng could not enter the board of directors, his shares would only be valid at the shareholder meeting. As for other things, Lin Feng was beyond reach. That way, he can take advantage of more opportunities.

But Yang Zhiyuan made a statement to prevent Timothy's voting proposal.

"Timothy, before everyone can vote on whether to agree to Mr. Lin's resignation, I think we have to figure out one thing first, otherwise, after agreeing to Mr. Lin's resignation, I am afraid it will not benefit our company." Yang Zhiyuan has already Start to enter the role.

"What's the matter?" Timothy frowned. In his opinion, it was Yang Zhiyuan who wanted to excuse Lin Feng. After all, Lin Feng resigned as chairman because he wanted to preserve Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong. Now Yang Zhiyuan is just reciprocating. But no matter what Yang Zhiyuan does, Timothy has long reached an agreement with many shareholders, this time Lin Feng must leave the company's board of directors. As Lin Feng took the initiative to submit his resignation and issued a declaration to the world that he would no longer serve as chairman, Lin Feng would not be able to vote for himself, so Timothy and others' shares absolutely overwhelm Yang Zhiyuan.

Now, he just listened to Yang Zhiyuan to talk about it, and saw what Yang Zhiyuan had to say.

"Mr. Lin, I would like to ask you at the press conference today that you are sure to solve the defects of the'vertical search engine' technology within a week. What are you going to do?" Yang Zhiyuan looked at Lin Feng and asked.

When Timothy and others heard this, they just remembered that Lin Feng had said this at the press conference before, and they almost forgot. This is the key point. Lin Feng said in front of people around the world. Although Lin Feng had mentioned his resignation at the time, he represented "Baidu-Yahoo" after all. If this promise cannot be fulfilled, it will definitely affect the whole " "Baidu-Yahoo", a company that has lost its integrity, is quite fatal.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Lin Feng nervously, eager to hear a satisfactory answer from Lin Feng's mouth.

Obviously, everyone will be disappointed.

Lin Feng glanced at Yang Zhiyuan, then shrugged helplessly.

"This matter is about to ask Li Yanhong Li, he is in charge of technology, I am just an investor, not proficient in technology." Lin Feng said irresponsibly.

Everyone was speechless when they heard the words. Lin Feng's remarks were obviously quite irresponsible. This is not a play house, but the future of a company with tens of billions of dollars in assets.

"Mr. Li, can the ‘vertical search engine’ be perfected within a week?" It’s time to burn his eyebrows. Timothy also temporarily put aside his prejudice against Li Yanhong and others, and asked nervously.

Li Yanhong looked at everyone, thought about it, and shook his head.

"Sorry, my ability is limited. It is absolutely impossible to perfect the ‘vertical search engine’ technology within a week!" Li Yanhong affirmed.

hiss! Many shareholders took a breath. If it cannot be improved within a week, how will the company explain to the outside world after that week?

"Li Yanhong, how did your technical department get it, it can't be repaired for a week, and an imperfect program is introduced to the market. You are killing the company." Timothy roared.

Li Yanhong looked at Timothy with a very innocent expression.

"Mr. Timothy, I only know Dong Lin for this matter, and he knows it too." Li Yanhong pushed everything to Lin Feng.

Many shareholders suddenly looked at Lin Feng with angrily.

"Dong Lin, you know that you can't solve the ‘vertical search engine’ technology within a week, do you still make a promise?" Timothy roared at Lin Feng a little hysterically.

How can Timothy be in no hurry! He himself does not want "Baidu Portal" and "Yahoo" to merge. Secondly, if "Baidu-Yahoo" encounters the "Integrity Gate" after the global server paralysis this time, then the outside world's evaluation of it will plummet. This will directly affect the acquisition of "Baidu-Yahoo" by "Microsoft", which will be a fatal blow to Timothy.

I have to say that until this moment, Timothy is still dreaming of the company being acquired, which is indeed quite speechless.

However, Lin Feng's answer made Timothy and the others even more speechless.

"That's what I said at the time, don't take it seriously!" Lin Feng said very lightly.

Boom! —If possible, Timothy really wants to step forward to strangle Lin Feng alive. What is "just say it, don't take it seriously", they can take it seriously, but will those outside users and the media take it seriously?

The more he thought about it, Timothy became more angry. He really did not expect Lin Feng to boast such an irresponsible person. This is simply a jerk, just when Timothy was about to blow Lin Feng's head and face. , Yang Zhiyuan unexpectedly fired at Lin Feng.

"Mr. Lin, you have to understand that although you have already submitted your resignation to the board of directors, you are still the chairman of'Baidu-Yahoo' until the board of directors approves it. Your irresponsible remarks will bring a huge impact to the company. Harm. I don’t know why you made such an unrealistic promise, but you have already caused harm to the company. As the CEO of Baidu-Yahoo, I propose to the board of directors a resolution to dismiss your chairman. !" Yang Zhiyuan looked at Lin Feng with fire-breathing eyes, as if he wanted to take Lin Feng alive.

Timothy and the others were taken aback. You know, the three of them had a good relationship before, but now, the three of them are in conflict, which is beyond the expectation of Timothy and others. However, this contradiction, a good cause, can at least drive away this Lin Feng that they hate, and it will be of great help to Timothy and others in controlling the company in the future.

"Huh, want to depose me? You know, I am willing to resign because I think, if I don't want to, no one can drive me away!" Lin Feng snorted coldly.

When Timothy and the others heard this, they were taken aback for a moment, and then began to groan secretly in their hearts. Indeed, in terms of the shares Lin Feng actually controls, he does not want to go, and no one can dare him to go. Thinking of this, Timothy and others secretly groaned. If Lin Feng really doesn't leave, then things will be even more difficult.

"Vote! I am opposed to dismissing me!" Lin Feng didn't say much, and directly called on everyone to start voting.

Everyone was embarrassed. Since Lin Feng voted, it doesn't make much sense for them not to vote. Because Lin Feng's shares already occupy 51%, it is natural that Lin Feng cannot be dismissed.

Unless..., Timothy and others thought of the only possible plan to oust Lin Feng, but this plan was so ridiculous that he couldn't believe it.

However, what Timothy did not expect was that this world is not the craziest, only crazier! At this moment, Robin Li suddenly spoke out.

"Dong Lin, I think it is no longer suitable to be the chairman of'Baidu-Yahoo', otherwise you will cause great harm to the company. Therefore, I oppose you continuing to be the chairman!" Li Yanhong looked at Lin Feng abnormally Speak firmly.

scare! -Everyone was shocked, they absolutely did not expect that Robin Li would come forward to oppose Lin Feng at this time. You know, Li Yanhong is the president of "Baidu Portal", in the eyes of Timothy and others, he belongs to Lin Feng's family. As a result, Li Yanhong suddenly opposed Lin Feng, which naturally made people very surprised, but Timothy and the others were in ecstasy. If Li Yanhong is against Lin Feng, then Lin Feng's shares will no longer be 51%.

"Traitor!" Lin Feng looked at Li Yanhong, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth.

Everyone could feel Lin Feng's anger at the moment. After all, being betrayed by one's own people is absolutely uncomfortable. Regardless of being a person, at this critical moment, being betrayed by one's own people, I am afraid that the feeling of anger will be murderous. In particular, Lin Feng just took the initiative to take all the responsibilities to protect Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan. As a result, it was the people he had sheltered who came forward to oppose him.

Li Yanhong looked at Lin Feng without fear.

"Dong Lin, I am also doing this for the company. Your irresponsible promise has caused great harm to the company. You are no longer qualified to serve as the chairman of the company!" Li Yanhong said coldly.

When Lin Feng heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

"Okay, okay, okay, Li Yanhong, Yang Zhiyuan, you are really good! I see you can be happy for a few days!" Lin Feng coldly glanced at everyone, kicked over the tables and chairs next to him, then slammed the door and left.

There was silence in the conference room.

After a long time, Timothy stood up.

"Okay, okay, now that the company’s biggest cancer has left, then we will begin to discuss how to face this week’s promise. We must know that if we can’t fulfill it, our company’s credibility will be reduced to the lowest point. I'm afraid it will be difficult to regain the strength!" Timothy's eyes narrowed.

Now that Lin Feng is gone, his biggest stumbling block to sell the company to "Microsoft" no longer exists. After that, it depends on how to persuade the major shareholders to sell the company to "Microsoft." Of course, the first prerequisite now is to resolve the one-week commitment, otherwise the outsiders' evaluations are too low, and they will not be able to sell at a good price.

After some discussion, Timothy took advantage of Robin Li’s identity as the chief engine architecture engineer in a very sinister way, and jointly issued a military order against Robin Li with many shareholders, requiring him to solve the problem of the week’s commitment left by Lin Feng within a week, otherwise he You must give the company an explanation.

Faced with the persecution of many shareholders, Robin Li naturally had to accept it. But after agreeing, Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan looked at each other. These shareholders were really insidious. They first drove away Lin Feng, and then forced Robin Li to issue a military order. If Robin Li could not solve this problem, then Robin Li would have to stay away from the company's senior management. Then when these people were resolved, it was Yang Zhiyuan. After Yang Zhiyuan solves it again, it is time to sell "Baidu-Yahoo" to "Microsoft". Although the price may be much lower, they have long lost confidence in the company and can sell it.

The abacus of Timothy and the others was not good, but they didn't know that all of them had already been expected by Lin Feng.

"Dong Lin, everything is as you expected, Timothy and the others are on the set!" After the meeting, Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan met Lin Feng closely.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Mr. Li, after 24 hours, you will leave your job angrily. The bigger the movement, the better, so that the outside world's evaluation of the company will be lower!" Lin Feng smiled.

Li Yanhong nodded. The bigger the trouble, the better, it's too simple. In this world, creation is difficult, but destruction is extremely simple.

Yang Zhiyuan frowned on the side.

"Dong Lin, if this trouble continues, I am worried that it will be difficult for the outside world to restore confidence in the company in the future." Yang Zhiyuan said.

After all, Lin Feng and Robin Li are making such a fuss, so the outside world knows that "Baidu-Yahoo" is troublesome, so even if Lin Feng acquires the shares of Timothy and others in the future, it may not be able to revive the company. Because Yang Zhiyuan was afraid that the trouble would be too fierce and could not end in the end.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, this farce will end in a week at most. As long as a week later, I return to the board of directors and solve the defects of the'vertical search engine', then the external evaluation will naturally come back." Lin Feng said I'm not worried at all.

In Lin Feng's view, external evaluations are not important. What is important is performance and the future. At that time, I can fulfill my promise to solve the defects of the "vertical search engine" technology within a week, then everything is no longer a problem.

"But, Lin Dong, I have another question. Will Timothy and others sell us the company's stock?" Yang Zhiyuan thought for a while and said.

This question is also extremely critical, after all, why did Timothy sell the company's stock to Lin Feng. After all, the relationship between the two parties is quite bad. Yang Zhiyuan couldn't figure out why Timothy would sell the stock to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng shrugged.

"It's very simple, because Timothy and others are greedy! And'Microsoft' is also greedy!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Timothy is greedy? "Microsoft" is also very greedy? —Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.

Lin Feng smiled.

"If it weren't for Timothy and the others to be too greedy, I think'Yahoo' has long been in the pocket of'Microsoft', did I say so, Mr. Yang?" Lin Feng asked back.

Yang Zhiyuan nodded. Indeed, if Timothy and others hadn't spoken out loudly at the beginning, and set the price up, "Yahoo" would have been acquired by "Microsoft".

"As for'Microsoft', if it weren't for buying'Yahoo' at the lowest price, I'm afraid that'Yahoo' would have already become'Microsoft' in the bag!" Lin Feng added with a smile.

Yang Zhiyuan nodded again. The facts were exactly as Lin Feng had expected. One lion opened his mouth and the other stinged. When these two people met together, it would naturally be difficult to negotiate within a period of time.

"Therefore, once the outsiders' evaluation of'Baidu-Yahoo' is too low, and there are rumors that Robin Li and I have left'Baidu-Yahoo' one after another,'Microsoft' will definitely not miss this opportunity and will definitely offer another offer. However, 'Microsoft' will definitely not offer too high a price, and Timothy and others will never be reconciled. If this time, my offer is higher than'Microsoft', who do you think Timothy would choose? He is just Just wait for the price!" Lin Feng had a confident smile on his face.
