California is known as the Silicon Valley of the world.

There are many Internet companies that are well-known all over the world.

Such as Google, Yahoo, and so on, these world Internet giants.

The same.

In this golden land of the Internet, the world's largest shopping website, eBay, is also headquartered in Silicon Valley, California.

The current CEO of eBay is Meg, who has served as vice president at Procter & Gamble and Disney. Whitman.

This strong woman with a super high education and super first-class management level, as well as extraordinary market acumen, after taking over the boss of eBay, in just two years, brought eBay to a brilliant place, becoming an online shopping legend website in the United States, and at the same time beating Amazon and other peers, and is also the godmother of e-commerce in later generations.

And familiar with Meg?? Whitman's peers know that she is a company that dares to make a move at the perfect time, acquire and integrate everything that is beneficial to eBay, expand the scale of eBay, and make eBay favored by Nasdaq investors.

For the acquisition of PayPal, eBay's executive Meg Whitman has been talking with PayPal's Musk for more than half a year, of course, the price is also from the initial $300 million, to the current close to $1 billion, the purchase price is really rising month by month.

However, it can't be helped.

This is the case with Internet companies.

Perhaps, the previous month was obscure.

But the next month it skyrocketed.

Of course, the purchase price has also doubled and skyrocketed.

Originally, Meg Whitman meant that since it could not be talked about for most of the year, and as time went by, online users were overly dependent on third-party payment channels, PayPal would definitely raise the price upward, she was not a fool, did not dare to take the investor's money to smash, so decided to hang PayPal's Musk for a while.

As a result, this drying went wrong.

After hanging Musk for half a month.

Second Sunday in October.

The entire Silicon Valley suddenly came out that PayPal's Musk was ready to talk about the acquisition with a Chinese Internet company.

Moreover, the whole Silicon Valley was in an uproar, and even Peter Tiel went to China.

This incident challenged Meg Whitman's nerves.

PayPal is eBay's dish, how can you make a cooked duck fly... For this reason, Meg Whitman immediately contacted PayPal's Musk to talk about the acquisition, and also began to focus on understanding the Huaxia Internet company that PayPal was talking about the acquisition.

Meg Whitman has a natural affection for Huaxia, because her mother once came to Huaxia and told the young Meg Whitman about the magic of this oriental country, and, as she likes and respects Oriental culture incomparably, she now sends her son to Huaxia to study....

So, it's not the same as the average American.

Meg Whitman can be said to be an American who knows China better and will not trust the boasting of the American media.

Of course, she also knows the Internet industry in Huaxia.

As early as a year ago, Meg Whitman learned from the weekly phone calls of her son, who was studying in Huaxia, that Huaxia was now on the rise of an Internet company.

And her son, who has surpassed Google, Microsoft and other Internet companies, is now competing with eBay to acquire PayPal.

This Internet company called 'Youwei Technology', Meg Whitman is no stranger, she has known from her son's calls countless times, this is a very amazing company, any product of this company, has surpassed the perfection of peers several times....

It can be said that Meg Whitman's son, who received primary and secondary school teaching in the United States, has suddenly become a person who admires the Chinese Internet in the past few years of studying in China, so that Meg Whitman has also begun to focus on the growth of the Internet in Huaxia.

However, after all, there are too many things about eBay, and Meg Whitman doesn't fully understand them.

Now, the up-and-coming Internet company in China is able to compete with eBay.

Meg Whitman feels that she has been paying attention to foreign markets over the years and does not know much about the situation in China... This is a misstep.

Although Meg Whitman is the executive officer of eBay, she can get the latest information as long as she is instructed to do so.

But how can these colleagues in the United States get real first-hand information?

So, Meg Whitman thought of calling her son, who was studying in Huaxia, and maybe it would be faster and more convenient to learn something.

So during work hours, Meg Whitman picked up the phone and dialed the international number.

After getting through, Meg Whitman's communication with her son has always been very direct and intimate, which is probably a foreign-style family relationship: "Child, mom has something and wants to ask you for help." ”

Hearing his mother's request for help on the phone, Mance, the son of Meg Whitman, who studied in Yanjing, Huaxia, was very anxious: "Mom, just say it....I remember that since I was a child, I asked you for help and didn't understand." I'm not busy right now. ”

Meg Whitman said: "It's nothing, it's just that you often talked to me about an Internet company in Huaxia 'Youwei Technology', on your Huaxia side, has there been any new reports on this company recently?"

Mance thought for a moment and said: "Not really, but in the past two days, they have started to promote a grand online shopping festival "Double 11 Shopping Carnival", which I think is a bit like our Black Friday shopping carnival in the United States." ”

"Oh?" Meg Whitman didn't expect that a shopping website in China had this kind of sales thinking, but she wasn't interested in the 'Double 11 Shopping Carnival', so she asked, "Are there any other news reports?" ”

Mance said: "No, oh, by the way, Mom, the other day the Chinese media reported that Youwei Technology wants to buy PayPal." Mom... I searched through Google, it seems that I saw foreign media reports, originally PayPal is a payment company that your eBay wants to acquire, and now come to Huaxia and Youwei Technology to talk about the acquisition, you want to ask about this matter, right?"

Meg Whitman, who was far away in the United States, smiled, really a clever ghost, and said: "Peter Tier, the founder of PayPal, has arrived in China, has your Chinese media not reported it?

Mance said: "No, no, Mom, there is no news in China that Peter Thiel from PayPal came to China, how long did he come." ”

Meg Whitman said: "Peter Till should be your Yanjing time, Huaxia who arrived in the early hours of this morning, until now, there is no news report in your Huaxia media, I know ....."

After all, Meg Whitman is a strong business woman and a godmother of global e-commerce, and she immediately understood that this was probably deliberately made by PayPal to show her.

Settle down immediately and see how the two founders of PayPal made her submit.

"Okay, Mance, don't bother you, mom still has something to do, if you have the latest news about PayPal on the Huaxia side, you call and tell mom as soon as possible." ”

Mance didn't understand commercial acquisitions and said, "Good mom..."

The mother and son hung up the phone.

Meg Whitman has the bottom in her heart.

Don't panic.

There are a lot of things on eBay, and she is busy like a spinning top every day, so she doesn't care about what Peter Thiel talks about when he goes to Huaxia... As for whether it can be acquired, she doesn't care, after all, the godmother of e-commerce immediately found the key, which is Musk and Peter Thiel who brought their treasures to increase the price.

However, before Meg Whitman could grab a cup of coffee, eat something early and start her day, the phone on her desk rang again.

Meg Whitman picked up. Standard English pronunciation: "hello...."

A Chinese accent came from the phone: "Hello, Ms. Meg...."

Meg Whitman has a lot of respect for Chinese culture, and she can also say two sentences in Chinese, jerky: "You... Hello... Well..."

On the phone, Chen Chuliang said: "Ms. Meg, I am Chen Chuliang from Huaxia Youwei Technology, and I want to talk to you....I don't know if it disturbs your work...."

As soon as Meg Whitman heard that he was the person in charge of 'Youwei Technology', he immediately came to his senses: "Didn't bother... Welcome to your call..."()
