As of the first half of this year, eBay has achieved sales of $360 million, and the average monthly sales have jumped from barely more than $10 million to $50 million.

The most important thing is the growth momentum, from a monthly sales of more than $30 million in January to $80 million in June, eBay is like a Mi-31 fighter that has left the ground, opened the afterburner and the throttle valve is fully open, constantly accelerating, accelerating and accelerating!

On top of that, eBay's growth momentum has not slowed down, but has accelerated with the spread of web technology and personal computers.

Now, not to mention those sharp-eyed investment institutions, even ordinary netizens, already know that ebay's development is limitless, and the most important thing is that so far, ebay has not carried out even one round of financing and has not been listed!

This one is terrible.

Now, whether it is an investment institution or a netizen, the biggest expectation is the listing of eBay, whether it is an investment institution or a netizen is extremely sure, as long as you can buy eBay shares, your wealth will be rolling appreciation.

And since ordinary netizens can see that eBay's future is limitless, then FedEx, USPS, UPS, the three eBay cooperative express companies naturally can also see, the management of the three express companies is extremely convinced, not to mention whether they hold eBay shares, as long as they release the news that they are eBay's exclusive cooperative express companies, their company's stock price will definitely usher in a wave of growth, and if you can invest in eBay......

Chen Geng nodded, and said meaningfully: "These guys are really good calculations......

"Yes," Steve Ballmer nodded, "These guys have their eyes on eBay." ”

Chen Geng was noncommittal, since ebay is a piece of fat, it is natural to be targeted by wolves, he bowed slightly, and asked Steve Ballmer: "Steve, you are not only the CEO of eBay, but also a shareholder of eBay, so, tell me, what is your solution?"

Chen Geng believes that before coming to him, Steve Ballmer must have had a perfect, at least general coping idea, in his heart.

It turned out that Steve Ballmer was indeed worthy of Chen Geng's attention, and he nodded: "Yes, boss, I do have some ideas. ”

After a brief pause, Steve Ballmer said again: "After receiving the joint notice from FedEx, UPS, and USPS, I was thinking about a problem, this exclusivity agreement between the three parties cannot be signed! I read this agreement, not only the agreement period is very long, but also the breach of contract clause is very harsh, if we sign this agreement, they may find an excuse to increase the freight at any time in the future, and limited to the compensation clause, if we take the initiative to breach the contract or end the contract early, we have to make a lot of compensation."

I think so, although the content of the agreement can be discussed, but since the three parties have reached an agreement before, then we have reason to believe that they must have drawn a bottom line for themselves before, and beyond this bottom line, they can talk, but beyond the conditions of this bottom line, they simply cannot agree. ”

Chen Geng nodded silently, this was the same as he thought.

Seeing that his boss agreed with him, Steve Ballmer breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "My thoughts are: first, we have to make it clear to them that we will never accept this agreement;

Secondly, we are also actively contacting small and regional express companies and logistics companies in the United States to strengthen cooperation with them;

Again, boss you said before that we want to build our own logistics and express company, now, I think it is the fact to start this project, this time it gave me a lot of stimulation, if we have our own logistics company, not only will not be blackmailed by others, but also make money when necessary;

Point 4......"

After a few remarks, Steve Ballmer said, "Boss, that's what I'm thinking at the moment. ”

"Your ideas are not bad, there are no major problems," Chen Geng nodded, affirming Steve Ballmer's suggestion, but at the same time, Chen Geng also pointed out: "However, your attitude is too weak. ”

Steve Ballmer blinks: My attitude is too soft?

After a deep sigh, Chen Geng said: "I know that facing such a giant may make you subconsciously lower your position, but don't forget, you still have me behind you, don't be afraid of them, be tougher, the sky can't fall, even if it really collapses, there will still be me on top of it." ”

Steve Ballmer's face flushed as he listened, and he was ashamed and excited, which sounded so uplifting.

"First of all, you tell USPS, UPS, and FedEx," Chen Geng continued, "and given their attitude, I am very unhappy, and eBay will only cooperate with two of them in the future......"

Steve Ballmer interrupted Chen Geng's words in surprise: "Boss, do you really plan to cooperate with only two of them?"

Boss's attitude is tough enough, but Steve Ballmer has to be sure, is this a means for boss to put pressure on FedEx, UPS, and USPS, or does he really intend to do so?

"Of course," Chen Geng nodded affirmatively: "There is one that must be kicked out, and it is the most unwell-behaved." ”

Steve Ballmer frowned: "But, they don't give in so easily, do they?"

"Of course, they don't give in so easily," Chen Geng is of course very sober about this: "So you need to tell them that eBay will definitely go public, and the two companies that continue to cooperate with us will get the right of first refusal to buy eBay shares as partners." ”

Can I buy eBay shares first?!

Steve S. Ballmer was instantly excited, he knew too well how attractive eBay's shares were in the market, although eBay has not been listed so far, but everyone knows that eBay will definitely be listed, and the listing time will not exceed 6 months at the latest, in this case, he will receive at least a dozen calls about stocks every day, in these calls, many investment institutions that think they are not qualified to participate in eBay underwriting, in order to be able to obtain the right of first refusal to buy eBay shares, do not hesitate to make various promises。

So Steve Ballmer is very good, once the boss allows two of the three courier companies to buy eBay shares first, the investment companies under the three courier companies will definitely go crazy.

"I ...... I see," Steve Ballmer's face flushed with excitement: "With this, I don't believe they don't like it." ”

"Besides, Steve, you're right, we're about to kickstart our own logistics build-up program. ”
