Ballmer, Sergey, and Larry Page were all stunned.

Will two new friends come over tomorrow?

Obviously, this so-called new friend is his own competitor!

However, I have not heard of any other Internet giant companies that want to participate in the competition for Facebook shares.

To be honest, there are not many companies of Facebook's size that are qualified to participate.

Could it be Amazon and Yahoo?

However, Amazon is losing money every year, and the company's board of directors will allow Bezos's bald head to step into the Internet social industry again?

As for Yahoo, it is a bit likely, because Lu Qi has a deep relationship with that side.

And Yahoo's major shareholder and founder is also Chinese!

Although Yahoo has begun to decline in the past two years, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Yahoo still has a lot of money in its hands!

It's hard to guarantee that they won't start looking to save themselves and invest in unicorns like Facebook International.

If that's the case, then you'll have to think about it.

Is it to raise prices and seek a peaceful solution, or is it ......

…………

"Okay, let's go here today, let's go back and think about it and re-evaluate Facebook North America. Ballmer said dryly.

He wanted to go back and find out which two competitors were going to enter tomorrow.

After knowing the details of the opponent, you can consider the next plan.

Google, on its part, naturally has the same opinion.

The group got up and took their leave.

Lu Qi sent them out on behalf of Facebook.

In the conference room, only Yu Wenfei and others remained.

"Microsoft and Google are going too far! We had good intentions and wanted to invite them to work together to make the Internet social network. As a result, they are good, not only do they not know the hearts of good people, but they want to take the opportunity to lower the price!" Shen Nanpeng took the lead in saying, his expression was very dissatisfied.

"Hehe, big companies in Europe and the United States are like this. Perhaps they think that we are begging them, and without them, the international version of Facebook will not be able to move an inch. So, take the opportunity to slaughter us. Xue Chunlai said with a smile.

"Mr. Fei, you said that there are two friends coming tomorrow, I know what one of them is, and the other one is the origin, I haven't heard you talk about it before. Cai Congxin asked curiously.

Everyone in the conference room also looked at it together, and indeed, everyone knew about one of them.

In fact, that's not much of a new friend.

But it's a senior vice president in charge of investments at Citibank's headquarters, who will continue to inject capital into Facebook North America on behalf of Citibank.

In the existing shareholding structure, Citibank has a very low stake in Facebook North America.

Yu Wenfei had already mentioned this matter at the shareholders' meeting, because in North America, Citibank is still very strong.

Appropriately increasing their shareholding will also contribute to the long-term development of Facebook North America.

However, the other one, everyone has never heard Yu Wenfei mention it.

…………

"This new friend, I just negotiated with the other party, and they are not inferior to the Internet industry. The stake in Facebook North America is also a private strategic investment. But, believe me, having them on board at least ensures that we won't be attacked politically by our competitors. ”

Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

He had already designed the shareholder structure of Facebook North America.

Every shareholder brought in will play an important role at some stage.

How much money the other party can pay is secondary, what is more important is the energy of the other party!

This energy includes the technical level, the influence level, and the political level!

…………

Ballmer and the others, after returning to the hotel, immediately began to mobilize their own contacts.

Find out which company it is to join the competition against Facebook North America.

It's a pity that they have entered a thinking mistake.

It is to think that the new competitor must be a giant company in the Internet or IT industry.

So I inquired and inquired, and the relationships between several giant companies that I could count all reported that they had no such plans in the near future, and they had not contacted Facebook.

Until the evening, when the three of them met for dinner together, they were still confused.

"What the hell is the company? Why didn't I find any valid information at all, could it be from Europe?" said Ballmer depressedly.

"We too, Yahoo's friends told us that Yahoo did intend to take a stake in Facebook North America, but it had been politely rejected by Lu Qi. What the hell is F**K!" Sergey scratched his head and burst into a foul mouth.

"Forget it, since we can't find out, then tomorrow we will respond to all changes with the same. Anyway, new competitors are also going to appear, and after seeing who it is, we will improvise. Larry Page persuaded.

This is also a good way, of course, there is no way to do it.

Both Ballmer and Sergey nodded.

"What do you think about the price of one billion and twenty billion?" Ballmer asked again.

"What else can you look at, the price is a bit high. But well...... If you put aside all the off-the-field factors, it's not unacceptable. Larry Page replied.

They all know that the price of 12 billion is really not very high.

For a project like Facebook International, price is actually secondary.

What's more, such a unicorn company is hard to come by!

Once there is an opportunity to be able to buy shares, the premium is inevitable.

In fact, even if it is a premium, there will still be a large number of investment institutions, waving banknotes and wanting to enter.

Facebook, because of the influence of Microsoft and Google in their respective fields and the additional benefits it can bring to the international version of Facebook, gave priority to inviting them to negotiate.

If it's just for money, Sequoia Capital, SoftBank International, Tiger Investment and other companies definitely give much more than Microsoft and Google!

Not to mention $12 billion, even if the valuation is $15 billion, maybe those investment banks won't blink an eye.

…………

On the third day, it was still the headquarters of Facebook North America, and it was still the big conference room.

When Ballmer, Larry Page, Sergei and his party arrived, there were already quite a few people sitting in the large conference room.

In addition to the Facebook people who met yesterday, there are a few more white people.

Larry Page and Sergei didn't know them, but they knew that they were the so-called new contenders.

But Ballmer knew, and when he saw them, especially two of them.

His eyes widened at once.

Turning his head and asking Lu Qi, "He...... Why are they here?"
