Bill Gai's private jet, telephone, fax, internet, audio-visual equipment are all available, it is simply an office in the sky. Compared to Google's preference for entertainment, Microsoft's private jets are clearly more geared towards business offices.

The current Bill lid looks amiable, and it seems to have returned to the basics, and receiving people and things makes Zhou Shi feel like a spring breeze.

"You should know, we are very optimistic about Twitter and YouTube" Zhou Shi found from Bill Gai's chat that Gaizi does have a deep understanding of YouTube and has good insights into the future development of the Internet.

The YouTube crowd nodded in approval.

"Microsoft is ready to buy YouTube for $5 billion, and if YouTube can buy Twitter, we can pay more. "Ballmer.

"5 billion?~~" Zhou Shi took a breath of cool air, MMP, and let people not live. Although Zhou Shi has an indifferent attitude towards the development of tubing, such a price still exceeds his expectations. YouTube's monthly revenue is not enough to cover the company's hardware costs. Microsoft is so capricious, is it necessary, and video doesn't seem to add much to Microsoft's business, right? What is the reason for their acquisition of YouTube? Zhou Shicai doesn't believe in love for no reason.

The scene was extremely silent for a while, and Cheng Shijun and the others were also hit by such an offer.

"Google makes our shareholders, and they have priority...... "Shirley preemptively spoke before Zhou Shi spoke.

"You're Shirley Sandberg from Google, I know, you're a great person. "Ballmer

Google, Google! Zhou Shi thought about this name repeatedly, Shirley may be closer to Google, but Zhou Shi is not too worried about her professional ethics, this is not the mainland, and the probability of something like Huang Guangyu and Cheng Xiao is still very small. What's more, Zhou Shi has a way to ensure that his interests are not lost. As for the control of the YouTube company, he doesn't care very much, and the development of the friend network needs him more. But when he thought of Google, Zhou Shi suddenly remembered......

"Microsoft is also going to develop a search engine?" Zhou Shi finally spoke

This opening stunned both sides at the same time. Zhou Shi successfully rebounded part of Microsoft's damage to himself. It's a pity that your own ability is limited, otherwise you can reflect all the damage.

In just a few sentences, the meaning of both sides is almost clear. Microsoft will not force Zhou Shi to complete the negotiations on the plane. After a beautiful sleep, Zhou Shi woke up and the plane had landed in Seattle. It seems that Microsoft really wants to buy YouTube, otherwise why not fly to Silicon Valley?

However, Zhou Shi and the others did not stay in Seattle for long, and Cheng Shijun and the others were willing to negotiate, so he didn't care. However, the next activities can only be carried out in Silicon Valley, and the specific acquisition conditions will be discussed, and then due diligence will be carried out in Silicon Valley.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zhou Shi received a call from Moritz and rushed to the other party's company alone.

Maybe things are beyond Moritz's control, and when I saw him this time, I didn't have the pleasant face I used to have, and I had a straight face. Zhou Shi felt that he didn't stand up to him, and he wouldn't compromise on everything.

"I agree that you rejected Google's acquisition, and you are giving back by agreeing to Microsoft's acquisition"

"I haven't agreed yet, I just don't object, and it depends on everyone's final decision. For us, if we want to sell, Google and Microsoft won't make much difference. All I care about is whether the value of our founders and management team can be best represented. "Zhou Shi actually wants to say that everything depends on the price, and it is delusional to want to buy our company at a low price.

"You're going to get more attention at Google!" Moritz said

"NFL players, who are worth tens of millions or millions, which one will be more valued?" Zhou Shi felt that Moritz was nonsense, he didn't want to give money, talking about attention, is it necessary, can't you get money?

"You're trying to sell YouTube now?" Moritz also felt like he had just said something that didn't go through his mind, and changed the subject as if nothing happened.

"As I said, I haven't agreed to Microsoft's offer yet, but their offer is so tempting that it's hard for us to refuse. There is no reason to refuse!" Zhou Shi

Moritz didn't ask about Microsoft's offer, apparently knowing that the $5 billion offer was staggering.

"If Google were to compete, what would you choose?" Moritz said

"Whoever values us more, we choose. Zhou Shi said categorically.

MMPs are all investments, so why should you favor one over the other, how much stake Sequoia can have in Google? If they fully support YouTube, Zhou Shi doesn't need to think about selling YouTube.

With Moritz feeling a little unhappy, Zhou Shi returned to the company. The company's CFO, Gideon Yu, the treasurer from Yahoo, and some senior executives such as legal counsel, were called, and everyone started to discuss. To sell or not to sell, and how big is the legal risk in terms of copyright? Sell to Google or sell to Microsoft or other companies.

Watching Shirley organize everyone to speak one by one, the more Zhou Shi listened, the more confused he became, there were not many good opinions at all, and the only thing that was certain was that there were legal risks in listing now. As for selling, it can be sold to anyone, except for the price, there is not much difference.

Now that Microsoft has made a bid, Google will not sit idly by, Yahoo may also intervene, and Zhou Shi also notified Deng Wenxuan of the news.

Although there are many people who know the news, everyone is very tacitly silent to the outside world, although there is news about YouTube and Twitter everywhere, but there is no report about Microsoft's $5 billion acquisition of YouTube.

Some people who are familiar with each other in China, such as Robin Lee, have called Zhou Shi to congratulate him. The content of Zhou's speech at Davos spread around the world, and the number of registered Twitter users skyrocketed again. Even without the support of mobile smartphones, everyone still registers one after another, publishes information through the Internet, and follows celebrities. Originally, Twitter was driven by Michael Jackson, and many singers signed up for Twitter and YouTube. Some of Hollywood's biggest stars are also seeking to cooperate with the two companies to increase their voice and avoid excessive dependence on traditional media. Well, now that Davos's influence continues to spread, Twitter and YouTube have begun a new round of rapid user growth. YouTube has a lot of turnover and can support it for a long time. Twitter's revenue is very small, and a lot of money has been consumed in the process of globalization, and this time it is finally short of money, and financing will inevitably have to be carried out again.

YouTube and Twitter, this is a perfect match, and their promotion effect is simply a BUG, at least in the eyes of many people. Even Microsoft's acquisition of YouTube mentions Twitter. Now Twitter wants to raise money, and YouTube wants to take the opportunity to acquire and integrate the resources of both parties.

Zhou Shi came to Twitter and saw the long-lost Johnson Chao and Dai Furui. Qunar also developed very quickly, and soon occupied a large market in China. Jack Dorsey just discussed financing with Zhou Shi, and it was surprising that they came back so quickly.
