WhatsApp, WeChat (I'm afraid they all have the potential to be hundreds of billions of dollars in market capitalization, after all, they all have a billion users later.)

"Why are we selling Instagram?" Zhou Shi couldn't figure out

"It's not that we want to sell, it's mainly that all directions are short of money right now, and there is no more suitable project to sell except Instagram. "Pichai

"What price is Zuckerberg willing to offer?" Zhou Shi

"$600 million, if you talk about it, it should be more. But they want to pay with stock. "Pichai

"Isn't FF going public, we can sell some of the shares!" Zhou Shi

"Facebook has a lot of market potential......" Pichai said

It seems that they are still not optimistic about Instagram and do not think it has much potential. If Zhou Shi didn't know the future development, I'm afraid he wouldn't think that Instagram was so powerful, wasn't it just an app for taking pictures, what's the big deal? Yahoo's Flickr now has 100 million users, and Instagram is now less than 50 million, and the gap between the two seems to be very large, but Flickr is almost Zhou Shi pushing forward, and if he doesn't keep an eye on it, I don't know what it will become. Especially after Boris, a technical genius who was previously in charge of the project, was fired by Zhou Shi, he became even more pessimistic about the development of Flickr. Picture social networking is a big market, and it can also be combined with e-commerce in the future, and short videos can also be developed, which can be said to play a very big role. Although it is said that the driving effect of individuals can also form inertia, who can guarantee this kind of thing. With one more option, it might be a good idea to secure Yahoo's strength in the mobile social space. But if Yahoo gets the benefit, time will be damaged, isn't that right?

"WhatsApp and WeChat are crowding out too many of our resources, we have too many projects right now, and we don't pay enough attention to Instagram, which can hinder its development with limited funds......," Pichai said

Zhou Shi listened to the unfinished words, and knew that there were a lot of cats, but the three major mobile apps led by Zhou Shi developed almost at the same time, and the number of users of the first two communication apps exceeded 100 million, and Instagram did not have 50 million users, so it is no wonder that Pichai looked down on them.

"Why don't you sell Zynga?" Zhou Shi suddenly thought of a better option, Zynga was acquired, mainly for web social games, and now it has also entered the mobile mobile game market. A few days ago, I saw that Zynga's market capitalization actually exceeded 10 billion US dollars, which is really an exaggeration.

"Zynga, this is a gaming company!"

Zhou Shi remembered that although the game company was the cash cow of time, neither Lei Jun nor Pichai had much management authority.

"Zynga's market capitalization is too high, you can sell as much as you can, and it is more cost-effective to cash out funds to develop cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence. "Zhou Shi, the lock-up period of time should have arrived, I sold a little when I was listed, and now I can sell it again. Unfortunately, you can't sell all your shares, or at least cash out more than $3 billion in cash.

"With the current restrictions, we can't sell shares all the time, right?"

"If you really want to sell Instagram, sell it to Yahoo!" Zhou Shilazy persuaded that any good project has the possibility of failure, and there will be different results in different environments, even if time continues to have Instagram, it will not necessarily achieve success in the previous life.

"Yahoo wants to buy it too, don't you have Flickr?"

"This is in line with the reason I asked you to launch two communication tools, and it is necessary for us to make two works according to different, even contradictory principles, so that they can be tested by the market. "Zhou Shi, WhatsApp and WeChat are two different software, everyone who has used them knows it, and they are very different.

"You want them to compete against each other?" Pichai asked

"That's right!" Zhou Shi

"There are risks associated with this, and it is easy to cause internal chaos. "Pichai

"It's okay, I'm sure!" Zhou Shi, Yahoo is not without this phenomenon, Yahoo News and Toutiao, Airbnb B&B and hotel bookings......

"In that case, I won't say more, but we won't sell it cheaply," Pichai said

"That's as it should be. Zhou Shi said that his interest in time is actually greater.

Back at Yahoo, Zhou Shi naturally had to convince Yahoo's management to buy Instagram, and with the precedent of today's headlines, such a thing is not so difficult to accept.

"Simon, an acquisition is a small thing, but how do we deal with Cal Icahn?" said Tim Morse, Yahoo's chief financial officer, who is responsible for dealing with all of this.

"He knew that I had proposed a plan to split Yahoo before, and thought that I still had this idea, so I can't blame him now, I can only see the move!" Zhou Shi

"And what do you think?" Morse

"I don't care, everyone decides. "Zhou Shi, it really doesn't matter if he is divided, no matter what method is taken to split up in the end, he must ensure that his interests will not be damaged.

"So you're going to abstain from voting on the split of the board of directors?" Morse, if Zhou Shi objected to this matter, there would be no need to discuss it at all, and forty percent of the shares were not ornamental.

"Hmm~~" Zhou Shi

With Zhou Shi's silence and the media's in-depth analysis of Yahoo and Yelp, there is more and more discussion about Yahoo's split in the market.

"Yahoo's traffic can have a lot of support for YELP, and YELP is not good after the spin-off"

"There is a conflict between Yelp's positioning and Yahoo's positioning, their development routes are fundamentally different, and forcibly tying them together is not beneficial to both parties"

"The development of YELP can be of great help to Yahoo's big data business"

"Yahoo's technology can help YELP save costs"

"Yahoo and Yelp together, both will be in a state of long-term loss"

"Both Yahoo and Yelp have a strong synergy"

Various points of view emerge one after another, making Zhou Shimu dizzy.

"What they said makes sense, which makes it more difficult for me to decide, it's really not a good phenomenon" Zhou Shi muttered to himself, his biggest advantage before this time is that he dares to make decisions, and he can ensure that there is a high probability of not making mistakes. But in this world that has been changed by his demons, it will be difficult to have such an advantage in the future. Even now, whether it is better to split or not to split still makes him embarrassed, and it is very painful to not be able to see the direction ahead.

"Then don't listen, follow your own ideas" Liu Feifei lay on her side beside Zhou Shi, without a strand of her body.

Zhou Shi originally thought that she would not contact her again, but she didn't expect that after Wang and Li left, she took the initiative to contact Zhou Shi again. At this time, Liu Feifei was much sexier than before because of her relationship with Black Widow. The "Avengers" she starred in is still more than a month away, which almost establishes her status as an international actress. I don't know which of such commercial blockbuster actresses or award-winning actresses in Europe is high.

"Okay, listen to yours and listen to me!" Zhou Shi said, turning over and standing up. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Rebirth of the Post-80s Legend Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
