Let Zhou Shi replace Karlbates and Yang Zhiyuan's voice is getting louder and louder, seeing that this operation is on the right track, he joined the negotiation team again to negotiate on the aftermath of Alipay, in fact, most of the things are about the same, but Jackma and Yahoo are specifically responsible for the negotiation of some people cooperated, deliberately increased the conflict and contradictions between the two sides, and no agreement was reached for a long time, everyone can see that Karbac is going to be finished, do you need to listen to anyone. What is internal and external cooperation, what is internal and external collusion, from shareholders to the company's management, have been infiltrated by Zhou Shi. Although not everyone supports Zhou Shi, but everyone opposes Karbats, this is enough, many things do not need Zhou Shi to speak, naturally someone will take the initiative to do it.

With Zhou Shi joining the negotiations again, his relationship with Jack Ma is also well known to the public, Zhou Shi once worked in Ali after graduating from university, and talked freely with Jack Ma about his ideals, including various ideas for Taobao and Alipay. Ali also had employees interviewed by the media and talked about Zhou Shi at that time. This period of history has made investors believe that it is in the best interests of both parties to let Zhou Shi lead the cooperation between Yahoo and Ahri.

"I believe in Simon, he's a visionary entrepreneur, I felt that way from the first day I met him, he has a very keen sense of smell, he has a unique view of the market and the industry, and he's very patient, and I have a lot of confidence in working with him!" said Jack Ma

"After I learned about Simon from Jack Ma, SoftBank Mobile was greatly inspired by his development, including the cooperation with Guoke because of Simon's relationship, and he has always been a trusted partner in all the collaborations related to him......" Sun Zhenyi

"I don't regret buying YouTube, even if it puts Amazon under heavy financial pressure, and I believe in Simon's ability and character just as much as I believe in Amazon's success," Bezos said in an interview with the media.

"Then why did Simon Zhou leave Amazon?" the reporter asked

"Maybe we are the same kind of people, and he is a very wise man, before we have any conflicts...... We're still good friends!"

Robin Lee, Robert Iger, Zuckerberg, Lucci...... Almost everyone associated with Zhou Shi in Silicon Valley was asked what they thought of him, and it was hard to see any negative information coming out. Including Sun Zhenyi and Yang Zhiyuan, they also vaguely knew that some things had changed, but now that they have arrived, no matter what they think, how can they resist? Is it not capricious to oppose now? Not to mention that they may not be able to get the support of many people.

In May, after a month of impact, more than 5,000 leading merchants in 50 first-tier cities around the world signed exclusive service contracts with YELP (an average of 3~5 contracts per city per day), and YELP's traffic skyrocketed. The revenue in the first quarter was close to 800 million, and there is clearly a trend to surpass it in the second quarter. What's more, everyone sees the possibility of YELP becoming the king of the group buying market.

Also starting in May, Zhou Shi issued a joint statement on behalf of Yahoo, Jack Ma and Sun Zhenyi, saying that the three parties have made significant progress in cooperation and will reach an agreement as soon as possible to ensure that the interests of all parties are not lost.

At the same time, Hu reported to Zhou Shi that Sixiang Fund had acquired a quarter of Alipay's shares.

"Problems arose in the communication between the two companies, and there was an unnecessary gap between the top management of the two companies. I can understand why Jackma did this, it was to ensure the interests of Alibaba Group and shareholders, and of course, this is premised on Yahoo being compensated enough and reasonably. After Zhou Shi got the equity of Alipay, he immediately expressed his official opinion on Jackma's transfer of Alipay's equity, and at the same time hit Karlbati.

"I'm sure Yahoo will be compensated reasonably!" Karlbates also issued a statement, but at this time, both shareholders and the public have lost trust in her, and whatever she does at this time is wrong, and it is wrong not to do it. In addition to resigning, you can retain some dignity, but unfortunately you will lose a large part of your wealth. In terms of practical interests and personal dignity, Karlbarts chose the former, and later received compensation, and has since disappeared from the mainstream industry. Not everyone will give up tens of millions of dollars for personal dignity, not everyone......

"When did you join Yahoo?" a reporter interviewed Zhou Shi

"I don't know, although I like Yahoo very much, but I care more about Yelp, I don't know how to balance the ...... of the two companies," Zhou Shi

"Then why not merge the two companies?" the reporter

"I can't find what these two companies have in common, and why merge?" said Zhou Shi

"I heard that Google has once again made an offer to Groupon to buy this company, at least to become the majority shareholder of this company, I think this should be a good reason!"

"Is this true?" Zhou Shi

"Of course, the news will come out soon!" the reporter said

"Then Yelp and Yahoo do have a basis for cooperation. "Zhou Shi, Google's acquisition of Groupon, in addition to bringing a lot of money, may also bring a lot of traffic to Groupon. With Google's share of the global search market, it will have a big impact on Yelp. While he is changing the market, the market is also changing other businesses. Without YouTube, Google has ramped up its venture capital and invested a lot of money in GoogleX Labs. It is also necessary to develop a new kernel browser to compete with Time Chrome, and this acquisition of Groupon seems to be eyeing Zhou Shi and wanting to snipe him.

In March, Guoke was successfully listed with a market value of 510 billion Hong Kong dollars, raising 51 billion Hong Kong dollars (counting the whole number, anyway, the number containing decimal points is not of much practical significance), becoming another huge financing IPO in China, the main purpose of financing is to acquire, including supplementing the accumulation of patents. The huge financing did not break in the end, and the market value of Guoke stabilized at more than 70 billion US dollars, that is, more than 550 billion Hong Kong dollars, and now is a good time for strong capital.

Although the news of Google's acquisition of Groupon spread, which cast a shadow on the development of Yelp and opened the door to Yahoo's acquisition of Yelp, Zhou Shi will not simply thank Google, and soon through the assistance of Qualcomm, Da Mo and other institutions, plus the layout that Galaxy Capital began last year. One day in mid-May, Guoke officially announced that it owned 13.8 percent of Motorola's shares, and at a 40 percent premium of $30 to Motorola Mobility, it launched a takeover offer to all shareholders, announcing that it would buy Motorola Mobility for nearly $10 billion (historically, Google bought Motorola at a market value of $40 and $12.5 billion).

When the news broke, public opinion at home and abroad was in an uproar!
