016 Negotiation
accompanied a group of bigwigs to go around in the garage, and then, under the instructions of all parties, he took a few bigwigs into a simple small conference room on the side, plus 5 people on Li Feng's side, they could barely sit down, and it was really compact enough.
"Sitting here, it's really a little nostalgic, that's how we all came back then. After everyone took their seats, Intel President Andy Grove said with a smile.
Intel's first two presidents were the two founders, but Andy Grove was the first employee hired by Intel, and is said to be known for his rigorous and serious work.
"Yes, I was busy with you for a while. John Doerr, the founder of KPCB, was also an interface at this time.
Yes, John Doerr worked at Intel for a period of time before founding KPCB, and was one of the earliest employees of Intel and one of the veterans of Intel, just like the 18 "Arhats" of Ali in later generations.
As a result, John Doerr was familiar with Andy Grove. Then everyone greeted each other for a while, and these bigwigs were actually very familiar.
For example, KPCB is one of the first venture capitalists to invest in AOL, and it can be said that in the large enterprises of US imperialism, the controlling shareholders behind them are very complex, and they may seem to be two unrelated companies, or they may have related capital control behind them or a lot of capital is intertwined with each other, and the relationship is very close.
......
"Now is not the time to reminisce, today we are all here for the same purpose, we are usually very busy, it is rare to meet such an opportunity, so let Jerry and them talk about Yahoo. ”
IDG's boss McGovern interrupted the memories of the two, and among the several bigwigs, McGovern and Don Valentine are qualified to interrupt the memories of the two.
In fact, everywhere pays attention to seniority, and the United States imperialism is the same, when the two reminisce about old memories, AOL's Keys, Michael Moretz, and De Funjie's Tim (three generations of the family founded De Fontay) will not interrupt, and only McGore and Valentine have this qualification.
"OK, it seems to be old, looking at the situation of Yahoo, I can't help but think of when we started our business, okay, listen to the situation of Yahoo. Andy Grove replied with a smile.
As the words of the two fell, several bigwigs looked at Yang Zhiyuan and the others.
......
"Thank you for your interest in Yahoo and for coming. Yang Zhiyuan expressed his gratitude to several people on behalf of Yahoo at this time.
I have to say that Yang Zhiyuan still has a natural business elite, for example, here, although he was a little nervous at the beginning, but after accompanying and greetings, he can't see any nervousness now, it's natural.
"You can take a look at the Yahoo business plan we have prepared for you, and we believe that the next Yahoo will be able to make you get a satisfactory harvest. ”
Immediately Yang Zhiyuan talked to everyone about the current situation and future of the Internet, and here I have to mention that Li Feng's role in it, as a future generation, no one knows the future of the Internet better than him, so in the past few days, Yang Zhiyuan and others were very touted for a while.
......
This was followed by a detailed description of Yahoo's current situation, and finally a detailed description of the financing plan and the specific Yahoo plan after the financing.
For example, the gradual global plan, according to the development strategy plan of Canada, Australia, Europe and then Asia, will allow Yahoo to occupy the attention of the global gateway and become the world's first gateway worthy of the name.
With the explanation, Yahoo is going to set up offices in Europe, Canada, and Australia, establish various language versions, and even establish a sub-site website development model in various countries.
These models are actually very simple models in later generations, but they are full of forward-looking when they are proposed at this time, of course, this is also Li Feng's proposal.
Then there are some new plans for Yahoo station, such as free mailboxes, VIP paid mailboxes, and so on.
After that, Yahoo's entrepreneurial team and development were mentioned, especially the concept of entry-level websites and portals and online new media, but it made the eyes of several bigwigs shine.
......
"Ladies and gentlemen, Yahoo has become the best portal in the world, and this is a great opportunity for us.
At the time when all competitors have not yet reacted, quickly seize the opportunity and opportunity to occupy the global market, and in the face of the resources of hundreds of millions of Internet users around the world, we have our own resources with advantages, do we want to give up?
If Yahoo can become the first choice for all Internet users, Yahoo must be the best in such a vast market of hundreds of millions of Internet users now and in the future.
I can even assert that with the rise of the Internet, the paper media in reality will decline sharply, such as newspapers, etc., which is a problem that the media will face in reality after the development of the Internet, and the Internet is the general trend and unstoppable. ”
......
It can be said that as Yang Zhiyuan talks more and more, the eyes of the big guys on the opposite side are getting brighter and brighter.
After all, these bigwigs also know that the development of the Internet is indeed unstoppable, so if they master the most dazzling Yahoo at the moment, they will have the right to speak on the Internet in the future.
"Therefore, this is also the reason why we still have to raise funds vigorously when we are already profitable, as long as we have enough funds to develop the global market, Yahoo will be a world-class enterprise in the future, and even an Internet business card."
Finally, our plan is to raise $100 million, a 20% stake, to realize our global strategy at Yahoo.
If the plan goes well, the strategic layout of the Canadian, Australian, and European markets and the preparation of the Asia-Pacific region will be completed throughout 95 years, and the Asia-Pacific layout will be carried out in 96 years, and after that, it will be gradually launched in Latin America and Latin America, and even if it goes smoothly in the second half of 96, we can expect Yahoo to ring the bell on the NASDAQ. ”
......
It can be said that in the face of these bigwigs, Yahoo has basically taken out all its chips, and Yang Zhiyuan has nothing to hide for a kind of business bigwig.
I believe that as long as Yahoo Yang Zhiyuan and them raise their heads a little, it is estimated that these people will be able to make a rough guess about the follow-up plan, and you must know that these companies are facing the global market.
In the same way, the bigwigs have actually been moved, which is the reason for the final financing.
After all, these people are not ordinary people, as a small group of the most elite people in the business world, they know very well the advantages and disadvantages of Yahoo, as long as there are enough development funds, Yahoo's future is already clear, so how can Yahoo miss such an opportunity in front of him.
......
"Well, let's go outside and take a break, and we'll discuss it here. In the end, Andy Grove proposed.
After that, Yang Zhiyuan left the small conference room with Yahoo and let these bigwigs negotiate, which was actually the issue of share distribution, and let them divide it themselves.
The small conference room was a glass room, and the crowd outside could clearly see the negotiation process inside, although they couldn't hear what was being said inside.
Watching Yang Zhiyuan and the five of them walk out of the conference room together, the employees on Yahoo's side looked at it nervously, and the Yahoo people immediately went to appease them, and then a few people greeted the little brothers of the big guys, and then a few people sat down to rest and chat, and at the same time paid attention to the situation in the glass room.
Seeing that several of the bigwigs inside seemed to be getting more and more excited at this time, they were already arguing with each other.
......
"Brothers, do you think they are arguing about who has more or less shares of these 20 points?" Li Feng looked at the somewhat lively scene inside and quipped.
"It's a real possibility. Yang Zhiyuan also replied with a smile.
"Haha..."
Perhaps thinking of this possibility, the five of them laughed together, attracting the attention of the crowd outside.
