Bill Gates' worries

"I want to kick Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong out of the game!" Lin Feng was full of anger.

Timothy was ecstatic when he heard the words. Timothy didn't have the slightest doubt about Lin Feng's words. As the chairman of the company, Lin Feng, and for the sake of Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong, took the initiative to resign to protect them. As a result, the two turned side by side, whoever encountered this would think about revenge. And the shares in one's hands are naturally the best tool for revenge. Once Lin Feng can successfully control the majority of shares, he will be able to counterattack aggressively, drive away Yang Zhiyuan, and regain control of the company.

"Mr. Lin, we all understand. If we understand, we won’t be polite. You should know that'Microsoft' is also seeking to acquire the company, and most shareholders have reached an agreement with'Microsoft'. Now you also want Buying the shares in my hands, everyone is a shareholder, I will naturally stand firmly on your side. But you also know that I am a small shareholder, it is difficult to change so much willingness, of course, if it is for the future of the company , I am also willing to help Mr. Lin regain control of the company, but my personal ability is limited after all, so..." Timothy walked around, meaning that he was sitting on the ground and raising the price.

Lin Feng snorted in his heart.

"Mr. Timothy, the price offered by'Microsoft' is 27 billion U.S. dollars to acquire'Baidu-Yahoo', and your original 3.5% of the shares of'Yahoo', converted into shares of'Baidu-Yahoo', is 1.715%. According to The "Microsoft" offer was US$463 million. I was right!" Lin Feng said after some calculations.

Timothy's face twitched. He hates it! At the time, the price for "Microsoft" to acquire "Yahoo" was as high as 49 billion US dollars, and 3.5% of "Yahoo" in his hands was worth 1.715 billion US dollars. Now it has become "Baidu-Yahoo". As a result, not only has the purchase price of "Microsoft" lowered, but his shares have also shrunk, and the value has dropped from 1.715 billion US dollars to 463 million US dollars. $1.252 billion!

$1.252 billion! This is $1.252 billion! ——Thinking of this, Timothy hurts! And the source of all this is Lin Feng, thinking of this, Timothy secretly cursed Lin Feng. Of course, I can only mutter to myself in my heart, and dare not say anything. After all, Lin Feng is now one of the acquirers and the capital he has set aside for. He dare not offend Lin Feng now.

"Mr. Timothy, as long as you can persuade others to sell me the shares of'Baidu-Yahoo' in your hand, then I will give you an extra 10 million dollars in compensation!" Lin Feng said with a slight smile.

"What! 10 million dollars!" Timothy's eyes burst upon hearing this.

Of course, this is by no means a performance of Timothy's excitement, but a performance of consternation. Although US$10 million is a lot, you must know that the remuneration offered by "Microsoft" was US$8 million. Now Lin Feng is only US$2 million more than "Microsoft"! This is too little, far below Timothy's expectation. In Timothy's view, the price of Lin Feng's expulsion was at least 70 or 80 million more than that of "Microsoft", and the result was only a mere US$2 million.

"Mr. Lin, you are so insincere!" Timothy's expression changed in an instant. He absolutely couldn't accept Lin Feng's compensation like a beggar.

"Why, is Timo too young?" Lin Feng smiled slightly.

"Mr. Lin, you are Chinese. You should know that there is an old saying in China called'the strange goods can be housed'. You are so insincere!" Timothy unexpectedly said the idiom "the strange goods can be housed", which really surprised Lin Feng. . But considering that Yang Zhiyuan is Chinese, and there are many Chinese in Yahoo, it is not surprising that Timothy, an American, knows a Chinese idiom or two.

"Timothy, I didn't expect you to use Chinese idioms, and you also know the idiom that strange goods can be housed. But do you know the origin of'exotic goods can be housed'?" Lin Feng looked at Timothy, who was puzzled, and smiled and put the idiom "exotic goods can be housed" Explained it again.

"Timothy, the reason why Lu Buwei was able to become the prime minister of Qin with a trick of'exotic goods to live' was because there was only one'foreign person' at that time, but now, you are not the only'foreman' who owns shares in'Baidu-Yahoo' Timothy alone!" Lin Feng said coldly.

Timothy wants to play "Original Goods", but he will not become a profitable tool for him.

"Mr. Lin,'Microsoft' has also contacted other shareholders, and these shareholders are all biased towards'Microsoft'. They would never compromise without my lobbying for you." Timothy looked cold. If it is only for 2 million US dollars, why should he offend "Microsoft". In his eyes, it is at least $20 million higher than the price of "Microsoft". Because he is the soul of the "reverse faction". These people decided to sell the company to "Microsoft" only after his bewitched and persuaded.

When Lin Feng heard this, he was not surprised, just smiled faintly.

"Timothy, you have to understand. Maybe you don’t like the 10 million dollars, but others will care. And their appetite should not be as big as Mr. Timothy. Mr. Timothy, you just think about it. This is my phone number. Call me if you are connected." Lin Feng asked Lin Chiling to put down her business card and left Timothy's house without looking back.

what happened? ——Timothy was taken aback. He didn't expect Lin Feng to leave as soon as he said, and would not give him a chance to bargain. Is Lin Feng really confident, or is Lin Feng bluffing?

Timothy couldn't see through Lin Feng's move, but he had an afterthought, which was to contact "Microsoft". At first, "Microsoft" prevented him from contacting many shareholders because he was afraid that Lin Feng would rebel against them, but now Lin Feng wants to buy the shares in their hands, that's different.

"Boss, are you sure that Timothy will sell us the shares?" Lin Chiling asked a little puzzled.

Lin Feng shook his head.

"Then what are you..." Lin Chiling was surprised. Since Lin Feng didn't confirm, why did he leave Timothy's house so easily?

"Timothy, the old fox, won't just give in. He will definitely contact'Microsoft'. Instead of wasting time on him, it is better to contact other people. Zhiling, you have to understand that, in the face of absolute interests, Any so-called alliance is a floating cloud and will disperse with the wind." Lin Feng sighed.

If you want to ask what is your biggest feeling after rebirth, it is the understanding of interpersonal relationships. Before his rebirth, Lin Feng believed that the strongest relationships in the world were friendship, love, and affection. But after he was reborn, he came into contact with many upper-class people and realized that only the combination of interests is the strongest relationship.

"Let's go! Zhiling, go meet those small shareholders and see if their offer is as appetizing as Timothy!" Lin Feng smiled and got into the car, letting Li Rui follow the list provided by Yang Zhiyuan Many shareholders from far and near began to visit one by one.

When Lin Feng visited these minority shareholders, Timothy had already revealed Lin Feng's intention to "Microsoft."

"Mr. Ballmer, Lin Feng now also wants to buy the shares of'Baidu-Yahoo' in our hands, and the price is high. I think if'Microsoft' does not raise the offer, those small shareholders will not sell their shares. "Timothy said slyly.

Steve Ballmer is also a veteran, knowing that Timothy wants to sit on the ground and raise the price, naturally he will not easily agree.

"Mr. Timothy, we'Microsoft' is very optimistic about your company, and very sincere. I hope you can mediate in it, and we will not treat you badly after it's done!" Steve Ball Quietly appeased Timothy.

After hanging up Timothy, Steve Ballmer called a small board of directors. Several giants of "Microsoft" arrived one after another.

"Everyone, now Lin Feng also wants to buy the shares in Timothy and others, do we raise the offer?" Steve Ballmer asked everyone.

Several shareholders frowned upon hearing this. Everyone was not stupid, and naturally understood that this was Timothy's intention to raise the price, and they all criticized Timothy for being a messenger.

"Everyone, now is not the time to blame Timothy, but the time to decide whether we will raise the offer. You must know that once we have'Baidu-Yahoo', our'Microsoft' will be able to positively regret'google' in the search engine market. ." Steve Ballmer stopped everyone's complaints and senseless reprimands.

"Steve, of course, we have to raise the offer. After all, we wanted to buy Yahoo for 47.5 billion U.S. dollars, and finally increased to 49 billion U.S. dollars. Now the acquisition of Baidu-Yahoo is only 27 billion U.S. dollars. This is absolutely inconsistent with the value of'Baidu-Yahoo'. It can be said that if we can really acquire'Baidu-Yahoo' for US$27 billion, then we will definitely make a profit. But now that Lin Feng wants to compete with us, then Let's compete with him. Although Lin Feng is the richest man in the world, his wealth is only his personal wealth. He is still too young to compete with our'Microsoft'!"-"Microsoft" cfo (Chief Finance) (Official) Chris Riddle calmly analyzed.

Everyone nodded. Indeed, the US$27 billion acquisition of "Baidu-Yahoo" is definitely a profitable business. Since it is impossible to take advantage of this right now, then everyone should have a real gun and live ammunition contest, and in the end, the one with the highest price will win. Everyone really didn't believe that Lin Feng still had so many funds in his hands to fight against "Microsoft".

After some discussion, everyone finally finalized the highest price of 57 billion U.S. dollars. The bid for the acquisition of "Baidu-Yahoo" is up to 57 billion U.S. dollars. No matter how high it is, "Microsoft" will give up. Steve Ballmer never believes that Lin Feng can put out so much money to fight against "Microsoft", even if Lin Feng only needs to acquire 23.1% of the shares in Timothy and others.

But after everyone left, Bill Gates stayed.

"Steve, I want to ask you, what if Lin Feng still controls the absolute equity of'Baidu-Yahoo'? "Bill Gates said worriedly.
