Chapter 939: Who's for and who's against

"Who is in favor of the $30 billion valuation and who is against?"

Yu Wenfei didn't continue to entangle, but scanned the conference room with blazing eyes and asked this question.

Ballmer and Sergei looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they did not agree with the price.

And Citibank's William Rhodes hesitated and did not rush to make a statement.

But Jim Walton spoke unexpectedly, and he smiled and said: "For Facebook North America, the members of our family are unanimously optimistic, although the stock price of $30 billion is a little high. But you must know that such a very high-quality asset is not always available. So...... , I agree with the price!"

His words stunned Ballmer and Sergei.

Ballmer looked at Jim Walton in disbelief and asked, "Jim, you didn't say you would ...... when we discussed this?"

Before he could finish, Jim Walton interrupted him, "Mr. Ballmer, I didn't say I agreed with you at the time. Also, when it comes to investing in Facebook, our family doesn't need to listen to you. ”

That's a bit of a polite remark.

However, the Waltons have this qualification!

Ballmer was also speechless, indeed, Jim Walton never said that he would join forces with them to lower the price.

The strongest fortresses are often breached from within.

Their small alliance had not officially begun to attack Yuwenfei, but they were "betrayed" by Jim Walder.

What's going to happen next......

William Rhodes is not a shrewd banker, he immediately saw the wind and rudder, and smiled heartily: "Since the Walton family thinks this price is acceptable, then I suddenly feel that 30 billion is not too high." ”

Now the four of them are divided into two factions.

Ballmer and Sergei were embarrassed, and if Yuwenfei really wanted to transfer the shares, there were already Citi and the Walton family willing to take over.

Even the price is agreed.

Even if Yu Wenfei takes out a thirty or forty percent of the shares, it is only ten billion US dollars, and with the strength of the Walton family and Citigroup, it can be said that there is no pressure to eat these shares.

Then you don't need to bring Microsoft and Google to play!

Yu Wenfei looked at Ballmer and Sergei with a smile and asked, "Do you still think the price of 30 billion is too high now?"

Before Ballmer could speak, Sergei had already hurriedly replied: "We have no problem with Google, 30 billion ...... Acceptable!"

Now that three have agreed, Microsoft is left, and what else can Ballmer say.

He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Fei, did you already know about this matter and negotiated with Jim in advance." ”

Jim next to him also had a smile on his face, he and Yu Wenfei not only talked about it, but also talked about more than just Facebook North America!

In fact, in order to persuade the Walton family to take the lead in recognizing the price of 30 billion valuation, Yu Wenfei also reached a series of cooperation intentions with the Walton family.

And promised to help Wal-Mart supermarkets expand nationwide in China!

Exchanging benefits for benefits, as long as both parties feel that it is appropriate, it is not a problem at all.

............

Since there is no problem with the price, the next question is the number of shares to be transferred.

"You need to transfer at least forty percent of your shares to us so that your shares in the North American company will not attract the attention of Congress. William Rhodes was the first to say.

He has a lot of appetite, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he is forty percent of the shares!

According to the original composition of the company's shares, Yu Wenfei holds more than 60 percent of the shares in his hands, and if he sells 40 percent this time, only more than 20 percent will remain.

That is indeed no longer a holding.

But Yu Wenfei did not agree with his suggestion, "No, 30 percent is enough, I only have 35 percent left in my hands, and the four of you American capital have a total of more than 50 percent of the shares, then this company has actually reached a controlling stake in the United States." ”

On this issue, the two sides talked for a long time, and finally each gave in a step.

Yu Wenfei finally sold 35% of the shares, and only 30% was left in his hands.

Because this time it is not a share expansion financing, but a share transfer between internal shareholders.

So directly install a valuation of 30 billion US dollars, 35% of the shares, that is 10.5 billion!

Microsoft has a lot of money, subscribed for 15 percent of the shares, and all in cash, $4.5 billion!

Google, Citibank, and the Walton family each need to spend 10 percent each, and they need to come up with $3 billion each.

The other two have an easy time with the money, but Google is not so arrogant......

Sergei said sincerely: "Our company has just gone public, and although we have raised a lot of money, a considerable part of that money is going to be used to invest in databases and recruit employees, so we may not be able to come up with that much cash. Can I ...... by way of share exchange?"

In large mergers and acquisitions, share swaps are also a common way.

In other words, take the shares of Google to exchange the shares of Facebook North America with Yuwenfei.

It just so happens that both companies have similar valuations.

Google only needs to take out $3 billion worth of shares to get 10% of Facebook's North American shares.

It's painful, but Google feels like it's worth it.

They are Internet companies, so they naturally understand how bright the future of Facebook International is!

It is no exaggeration to say that after the major shareholders of Facebook International Edition become their four American companies, they will be able to monopolize the entire Western Internet and social media in the future!

No other company can compete with it!

And Google + Facebook, such a combination, it's exciting to think about.

When the news comes out, Google's stock price will inevitably rise sharply, and the increase alone is estimated to offset the funds from the acquisition of these shares.

Yu Wenfei nodded briskly in agreement, and he also knew what heights Google could reach in the future.

At present, it is only valued at 30 billion, which can be said to be a very low price.

............

After talking about the transfer of shares, the specific procedures must of course be handed over to a professional team to do.

A few of their bigwigs only need to reach a basic intention.

Yu Wenfei casually talked about one thing again, he asked Ballmer: "I heard that AMD is acquiring ATI recently, which should be the largest merger and acquisition in the United States this year." ”

Ballmer smiled knowingly: "It's a big merger and acquisition, but it's not the biggest, because the biggest one just happened in this conference room." ”

A few people laughed, indeed, a few of them have just finished negotiating a share transfer agreement worth tens of billions of dollars, and if the news spreads, it will definitely shock the entire technology circle.

AMD's acquisition of ATI is nothing.

The incident that Yu Wenfei said is not news, but has been circulating for a while.

AMD, a semiconductor giant that competes with Intel, is now buying ATI, a graphics processing giant.

Once AMD and ATI complete the merger, then AMD will have the world's top level in both the CPU and GPU professional markets!

Therefore, the influence is still quite large.

However, the reason why Yu Wenfei asked about this was that he still had his own thoughts......
