It's time for lunch. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huajin Capital has chartered a big hotel, and everyone is still talking about the bidding for Huafeng Iron and Steel shares just now.

In this case, this morning's bidding was a complete success, even Guo Taiming was stunned for a moment, a little unexpected, this is your mother, we are so smooth?

He had already raised concerns when he heard that Zhang Wei was going to sell the shares of Yahu and Huafeng Steel, for example, the shares of these two companies could not be sold at a suitable price, and then the funds raised were not enough to make interest collateral for many banks after paying taxes, but he did not expect Huafeng Steel alone to sell at a high price, thinking that Yahu's shares were more sought-after, Guo Taiming was full of confidence, he knew that there was a trust on the scene today, which was arranged by Zhang Wei, and he also knew that the announcement to the world attracted many investors, such as today's high-spirited Lakshmi Mittal, if it was not for the press conference that Zhang Wei opened earlierIf it weren't for the global nature of QQ pop-up ads, it would not have been possible to attract so many investors today, let alone bid so perfectly!

Those investors were arranged to go to dinner, but the employees of Huajin Capital were all applauded!

"Good!"

"The owner was fantastic!"

"yes!"

"I'm worried I won't be able to sell for a good price!"

Rich!

It's so enjoyable!

Guo Taiming was a little excited in his heart, although the money was not his, it stands to reason that he should not feel so excited, but when he thought that if he had money, he could talk to the bank about a loan, and when the loan arrived, he could swallow the whale to acquire Nokia with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars, he couldn't help but be excited, Fushikang is now gaining momentum very well, and it can be said that it is a little famous in the global foundry industry, but the problem is that foundry is always foundry, and Fushikang's current market value is actually the same thing, where is it better than becoming a shareholder of NokiaWhat's more, once the successful acquisition of Nokia, Guo Taiming can clearly see the steady stream of orders from Fushikang, which he did not dare to think of before.

But today, for the first time, Guo Taiming really dared to think and dare to imagine that he would one day become one of the top businessmen in the world!

Grass, it turns out that following Xiao Zhang is so promising!

No wonder those who used to be with Xiao Zhang are now very rich!

Guo Taiming walked next to Zhang Wei and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, the bid in the morning was a big success." ”

Zhang Wei also responded with a smile, very pleased with the bidding situation this morning, which shows that he made the right bet, and shows that it is absolutely feasible to use 0.5% of the shares as a unit to attract people to come to bid! Without everyone's coaxing, I am afraid that even Lakshmi Mittal would not have come up with such a high price as in the morning bidding.

Jingle bell, cell phone rings.

took it out of his pocket and saw that it was Mr. Yang calling, Zhang Wei smiled slightly, vaguely knew what was going on, made a gesture to Guo Taiming, and then walked to the corridor to connect.

I saw that Mr. Yang came up over there and said, "Xiao Zhang, I want to know whose idea this bidding came from?"

Zhang Wei leaned on the window railing and said with a smile: "What do you think?"

Mr. Yang said helplessly: "I think only you are so lacking in morality." ”

Zhang Wei smiled: "Look at what you said, I just don't want to sell the shares at a low price." ”

Mr. Yang didn't talk to him, and said, "I believe I called why you know why, right?"

Zhang Wei pretended to be confused, "What?" If Yahu didn't offer four billion yuan to acquire 3.98% of his shares before, hearing Mr. Yang's words, Zhang Wei definitely didn't say a word and answered directly, but think about Yahu's intention to pit himself when he was in the most difficult time, then I'm sorry, who is afraid of whom.

"You. Mr. Yang's tone was full of a wry smile, "I know that you are angry when you see us in your heart, and you won't hide it from you, to tell you the truth, the matter of 4 billion acquisition of your shares is decided by the board of directors, although I voted against it, but they ......" After a pause, he continued, "Tell you so, you probably guess what's going on, I've been friends with you for so many years, so naturally it's impossible to lie to you." ”

Zhang Wei had a point in his heart, and said happily: "Okay, Mr. Yang, you have reached this point, if I still don't appreciate it, I can't say it, I said in advance, I still have 2% of the shares in my hand, and the remaining 1.98% is sold to others and cannot be reversed, if you want to buy back 2% of the shares, as long as the conditions are right, I can agree." ”

Mr. Yang tentatively asked, "How about we pay 20 percent more than the actual value?"

Zhang Wei looked downstairs Guo Taiming walked out with the phone in his hand, and retracted his eyes, "Mr. Yang, just like you said just now, I have known you for so many years, although the other directors of Yahu are sorry for me, but I can't take advantage of the fire to rob, right? In this way, 2% of the shares will be repurchased back to you according to the normal market value, but you have to promise me an additional condition." ”

Mr. Yang was stunned at first, and then fell silent, they used to cheat Xiao Zhang like this, and now Xiao Zhang actually repays his grievances with virtue? It's a bit inconsistent with this guy's character!

After thinking for a while, Mr. Yang asked cautiously: "You talk about the additional conditions first, I'll listen and see if it's okay." ”

Zhang Wei said without thinking: "I control a search engine company, called Google, I believe you should often hear the name of this company, my request is that as long as you Yahu agree to be compatible with the use of Google search engine, then I will sell you two percent of the shares according to the normal market value!"

At this time, Mr. Yang stopped talking at all, what was the battle between heaven and man, and it took a long time before he held back a sentence, and said: "I said that you kid is tinkering with this and that, it turns out that from the beginning he has been eyeing our search engine, and has opened an exchange jump that is difficult for us to refuse, I have to say that your sense of smell and execution in business is rare for me so far, from my personal point of view, you may really be the most talented profiteer in business!

Although it is a joke, the evaluation is too high!

Zhang Wei smiled faintly and said: "I know that you can't be the master of this condition alone, but the condition I put forward is a win-win situation, so let me explain it to you, and you will know why I said it." ”

Mr. Yang: "Listen up. ”

Zhang Wei said at length: "As far as I know, Yahu's search engine is still a manual cataloging website, right? For Yahu, the solution has always relied on NetApp to provide services, which allows you to expand the server space at a dizzying rate, and each of your services ends up running on NetApp's dedicated storage devices, which can be quickly set up and easily used, giving Yahu a channel to quickly meet market demand, using NetApp services to allow Yahu to keep up with the growing market demand almost immediately, and even dominate the race to dominate the Internet landscape. ”

Mr. Yang pretended to be calm and said, "That's right, so why do we use your Google search engine?"

Zhang Wei was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: " As the demand expands and diversifies, many disadvantages begin to emerge, such as redundant engineering work based on hardware infrastructure, increasingly complex and inefficient environments, and finally, increasing supplier costs, and when Yahu adds a new service, it needs to redesign the NetApp platform for specific use cases, and as a result, the same problems that occur on separate services such as Yahu Search and Yahu Mail have to be solved multiple times on different infrastructures。 Yahu's fragile infrastructure has exposed resource inefficiencies. Because each use case requires separate service space and computing power, and cannot be shared across the entire platform. On top of that, the cost of running NetApp appliances, which is growing as fast as Yahu itself, takes a large chunk of the company's revenue, am I right?"

Mr. Yang has completely lost his voice, indeed, everything Zhang Wei said is the truth, this is also the pain that Yahu has always wanted to get rid of, but how can the maggot of the tarsal bone be thrown away?

Unable to hear the response, Zhang Wei knew in his heart that Mr. Yang had acquiesced to this, and continued to flicker: "So, now I'll tell you about Google's advantages." ”

"You say. Mr. Yang said.

On the contrary, unlike Yahu, Google had already built its own file system before these problems arose. As a result, the challenge of adding new use cases or fixing the underlying framework can be done efficiently. For example, if Google buys a company one day, you can simply say to that company, 'Throw away your backend and we'll put you on our platform,' because Google's engineers can upgrade the underlying architecture, and once they do, the solution will be applied to all of Google's services. Zhang Wei said lightly.

Mr. Yang was taken aback and said, "Is that really the case?"

Zhang Wei heaved, "What good is it for me to lie to you, you can let people look it up, believe in Google's way of operating, you can see the benefits, right? For example, this flexible platform can allow resources and computing power to be shared on different use cases, so when the server is not busy retrieval, it can be flooded to process emails, it doesn't hurt everything built on commercial hardware, so it can provide a cost reduction according to Moore's Law, I can be very responsible!" Speaking of this, Zhang Wei's voice was categorical, "If this development continues, in less than five years, Yahu will be crushed by Google!"

Mr. Yang's face changed, indeed, everything Zhang Wei said was the truth, according to the current situation, Yahu is likely to lose to Google, which really does technology!

Why?

This may seem to many to be just a plain story about the importance of flexible architecture, but Mr. Yang believes the lessons learned extend beyond infrastructure or application engineering. It provides clients with insight into what it takes to build a sustainable business. It reveals one of the most important things about search engines: the need to understand the problem thoroughly before thinking about a solution!

When people see a problem, start from scratch. Whether it's an engineer or an entrepreneur, or both. Close your eyes to existing solutions and ignore everything you've done before building your own ideal solution. Once you have the ideal solution, you can decide which existing options should be adopted and which need to be rebuilt.

This is also the key to the success of many new businesses that have replaced traditional businesses, think of Amazon's decision to sell IaaS, which interrupted Comdisco's success in outsourcing IT infrastructure on behalf of enterprise customers!

Mr. Yang had a sense of frustration at this time, the large company with a market value of 100 billion yuan that he had established single-handedly was so vulnerable in Zhang Wei's mouth, but on the contrary, these analyses were all in place!

"So!" Zhang Wei said in an accentuated tone: "If Yahu wants to keep developing, if you want to develop in the long run, you must sacrifice some things that are being promoted in front of you, this is a bitter medicine that is difficult to swallow, especially in the fast-changing world of Silicon Valley, but the rapid growth in the early stage will bring more and more risks of inefficiency and complexity to the later stage, Yahu wants to get rid of this low risk, just throw away your backend and use the Google search engine as I just said!"

Mr. Yang took a deep breath, "Let me think about it, I can't make a decision alone. ”

Zhang Wei snorted, "I still have to have lunch with the investors, and continue to auction Yahu's shares in the afternoon, if Yahu is willing to agree to my conditions, when bidding in the afternoon, you can let your people make random bids to ensure that the shares can be repurchased smoothly into your hands, if you don't agree, then bid fairly." ”

……

Yahu Headquarters.

At this lunchtime, no one in the board of directors had eaten, and an emergency meeting was held again under the leadership of Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang told the directors in front of him about Zhang Wei and everything he said.

After listening, the dozen or so directors were silent, not knowing how to express their opinions.

Mr. Yang was also silent!

These directors of Yahu are completely silent!

It can be seen that everyone's faces are not very good-looking, before, who would have thought that Zhang Wei could not only sell the shares smoothly, but also sell them at such a high price? Looking back, he also said such a wonderful analysis, the board of directors held for half an hour, they never laughed from beginning to end, although they were silent, but they knew in their hearts how amazing Mr. Yang was by retelling Zhang Wei's words just now, they have been engaged in the Internet industry for so many years, as one of the Internet companies with the largest traffic and the highest market value in the world, I only knew for the first time today that Zhang Wei, who your mother wanted to calculate, actually wanted to calculate them in turn!

But I have to admit that Zhang Wei's calculation, they Yahu can't refuse, under the glamorous appearance, it has indeed developed into a dead end, if we don't seek new breakthroughs, it is very likely that the real Internet empire will collapse! However, the news brought by Zhang Wei today made every director present feel a sense of desperate survival!

Yes, it is not good for the company to hand over the main business to another company!

But they had no choice!

Either continue to bear the high cost and then Yahu starts to decline, or get rid of the tarsal maggot now, and then compromise Zhang Wei's requirements, so as to have enough money and time to develop a service project of the same nature as Google!

It's clear what to choose.

It's just a little ironic that such a blueprint for Yahu to continue to grow and develop turned out to be said by a person they want to calculate, not just a blueprint, but a condition that is being coerced, which makes them very uncomfortable and aggrieved!

……

But what do they think, how do they look, Zhang Wei doesn't care, in fact, from the beginning of Yahu's proposal to acquire 3.98% of the shares of 4 billion, he already has a mustard in his heart, once, this company can be founded also has my own credit, from 94 to 00 years, so many years, you want to pit me? Then don't blame me for pit you, if you don't use the Google search engine, Yahu may not die, but with the Google search engine, Zhang Wei knows that Yahu will definitely die, but so what, Yahu is sorry for himself first.

Finish lunch.

Return to the Joaquin Capital Auditorium.

The last four groups of bidding are about to begin, leaving two percent of Yahu's shares, and many people are eyeing it.

Zhang Wei didn't know if Yahu would choose the conditions he proposed, but he couldn't control it anymore, and the bidding was imperative.

As soon as he sat on the rostrum, Guo Taiming came over and said, "The bid was so successful in the morning, and it will definitely be successful in the afternoon, right?"

Zhang Weiha smiled, "That is, there are far more people who are interested in Yahu shares than Huafeng Steel, otherwise why should I stay until the final finale?"

"I can see that. Guo Taiming said: "Your plan is a bit lacking in morality, but I like it, by the way, I received a call just now, and the members of the board of directors of my company have rushed to the United States, and you will meet them with me in the evening?"

Zhang Weihan said: "What am I going to do?"

Guo Taiming said pitifully: "Help me support the field." ”

Zhang Wei smiled: "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold the field." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Wei announced to more than 100 people that he would start the bidding for Yahu's shares, which was still based on 0.5% of the shares, with a reserve price of 650 million US dollars.

As soon as it was announced, the bidding below continued to be heard.

"650 million!"

"680 million!"

"I'll give 700 million!"

"Ouch, it's only been a while, and the price has already increased by 50 million?"

At this time, one thing that no one expected happened, the person in charge of the Yahu negotiation team held up a card, and when Zhang Wei called his number, the person in charge swallowed the mountain and river angrily: "Billion!"

Everyone present: "......"

Many people looked at the person in charge with dark eyes.

"Holy!"

"Is Yahu crazy?"

"yes, it's thirty-five percent higher than the actual value?"

"Khan, Zhang was dizzy by the Nokia arrears incident, and Yahu, who wanted to cheat him before, turned the gun around all of a sudden? Give so much more money?

"Zhang, this person is really full of miracles! He can survive at any time!"

"Really?"

"If not, then Yahu, who didn't have a good attitude before, why did her attitude become so good all of a sudden?

Everyone present was talking!

Guo Taiming also gasped when he heard this, and was stunned, "What? Yahu bid one billion to acquire 0.5% of the shares? The quotation is wrong, right? Is there such an offer? Hahahaha! Xiao Zhang, I didn't expect even Yahu to help us!"

Yahu?

They didn't even think to help themselves!

Zhang Wei was happy as soon as he saw Yahu's offer, maybe among all the people who knew about it, only he and Yahu's board of directors understood why, on the one hand, your mother was under the pressure of shares, and on the other hand, his words to fool Yahu were accepted by Yahu's board of directors!
