A few people were discussing, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Yu Wenfei walked in with a few entourage.

Ballmer and Sergei hurriedly got up.

"Hello Mr. Fei, I have worked hard for you this time. ”

"Just got off the plane, do you want to take a break?"

Yu Wenfei replied with a smile: "It's okay, I slept on the plane, let's talk about business ourselves." Now I'm here too, and the other shareholders haven't come, but they've already authorized me to act in concert, so I can make decisions on their behalf. ”

In Facebook North America, in addition to Yu Wenfei and Xue Chunlai, the representative of Softbank, Citigroup, Google, Microsoft, and the Walton family, there are actually other shareholders who have not come.

For example, Jiaotong University Venture Capital and Modu International Venture Capital, but they don't have many shares, and they have already authorized their shares to Yuwenfei.

After everyone sat down, Ballmer and Sergei and Citi's William Rhodes glanced at each other.

Ballmer smiled and said, "Then it's up to me to tell Mr. Fei what went wrong." This problem, if solved early, is actually not a big problem. But if you put it off for a while longer, and wait until the problem erupts, it will be tricky. ”

Yu Wenfei nodded and motioned for him to speak directly.

Next, what Ballmer said about this matter was actually not unexpected by Yu Wenfei.

It's time to come, and sooner or later!

In the old American Congress, some lawmakers have begun to propose censorship and restrictions on Facebook North America.

Because this website has now had a very big influence, and many European and American netizens are using it.

It has a strong media nature.

However, the majority shareholder of this company is from the mainland, which is worth being vigilant about.

Is it possible that this is a company controlled by red capital to carry out an ideological "attack" on the free society of Europe and the United States?

It's hard to say about this question, look at the development momentum of the international version of Facebook.

If it is given another two or three years, it is estimated that it will be able to replace the existing traditional media in Europe and the United States, and completely grasp the right to speak on the Internet!

This is much more influential than any search engine or online game on the public!

If it is really a company controlled by red capital, it will start to promote something on it in the future and imperceptibly influence the European and American people, which will be a great threat to the entire Western society.

…………

After listening, Yu Wenfei's reaction surprised Ballmer and the others.

Originally, they thought that when they encountered this kind of thing, it could even be said that it was a major event related to the life and death of the company, so why should Yu Wenfei be nervous.

However, from beginning to end, the smile on Yu Wenfei's face never dissipated.

It's as if Ballmer said something he didn't understand......

"Mr. Fei, this matter is not trivial, if it is not resolved, it will really go into trouble in Congress, and it will be very troublesome. Ballmer reminded in an accentuated tone.

"If I disperse the equity again and let the capital in Europe and the United States have a controlling stake, won't this problem be solved? Yu Wenfei spread his hands and said lightly.

Ballmer was stunned.

The plan that Yu Wenfei said should be proposed by them!

As a result, Yu Wenfei was the first to mention it.

"Mr. Fei is right, this is indeed the best solution!" William Rhodes couldn't wait to respond.

Facebook North America is now like a huge cream cake, and everyone wants to pick up a knife and cut off a piece.

They, Citibank, are certainly no exception!

"It's not impossible to sell equity, but it's ......," Yu Wenfei said thoughtfully.

"But what? Fei always has any ideas, just say it, let's discuss it together. Ballmer said quickly.

"But the market value of Facebook North America is not low now, I still have so many shares in my hand, and if I want to sell it to below the controlling stake, can you afford it?" Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

It turned out to be this problem, Ballmer, William Rhodes and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and several people also had smiles on their faces.

"Haha, Mr. Fei laughed. You should know that in this conference room right now, there are representatives of some of the most powerful companies in the United States! Microsoft, the Walton family, and Google, needless to say, we at Citi can eat all the shares in Mr. Fei's hands. You make an offer!"

William Rhodes said boldly.

Of course he has the qualifications to say so, after all, he represents Citibank!

When it comes to capital allocation capabilities, Citi doesn't need to be modest at all.

"Then let's go straight to Facebook, do you have a new valuation for Facebook North America?" asked Yu Wenfei.

This time, it was William Rhodes who spoke, he stretched out two fingers, and said solemnly: "Two tens of billions of dollars! This number should be worthy of the performance of the international version of Facebook." ”

Of course, this is only the first offer.

William Rhodes did not quote the real reserve price, and the negotiation, especially such a big business worth tens of billions of dollars, could not be negotiated at one time.

It's not surprising that it drags on for months or even years!

What's more, the longer it drags on, the better it will be for them.

Not surprisingly, Yu Wenfei shook his head dryly, "It's too low! If there is sincerity, let's talk about it according to 30 billion." ”

It's not that the shares of Facebook North America can't be sold, but the price must be in place!

Ballmer said, "Three billion is too high." I don't think the international version of Facebook is comparable to Google's market capitalization. Moreover, I suggest that Mr. Fei make a decision as soon as possible. After a while, when Facebook North America received a congressional consultation notice and the matter got to that point, it would be difficult for Mr. Fei to sell these shares. ”

This old guy is singing and harmonizing with William Rhodes to reduce the price.

Yu Wenfei expressed his understanding and did not have any opinions on them because of this.

After all, both of them represent the interests of their respective companies, and if they can suppress the valuation of 10 billion US dollars, it will save a lot of money for their company!

That's what they do.

All of you here are experts, and everyone doesn't go around in circles when they speak, even if the price is lowered, the examples given are very convincing.

Not long after Google went public, its market capitalization was almost in the early $30 billion, so Ballmer was right to compare it to Google.

Facebook International and Google's search engine, it's actually hard to compare the two together.

Because of this problem, it involves the two major businesses of Internet social networking and search engines, which one has more development prospects in the future!

There is no doubt that in the future, in the area of Internet social networking, the international version of Facebook will be the hegemon.

Google, on the other hand, is growing into the world's largest search engine!

They are all very high-growth companies, but it is impossible to say which industry has broader prospects.

Who can say what the future holds......
