Chapter 972: I Like Your Warm Reception (Please Subscribe!)
Silicon Valley.
eBay Inc.
Today, the three founders of eBay will hold a press conference to officially unveil the event that the three companies jointly hold a stake in PayPal, the largest third-party payment company in Silicon Valley, can make Meg Whitman busy.
eBay's stock, after several days of sharp declines, began to recover after the news of a stake in PayPal.
In order for the upward trend to be faster and achieve a decent increase, it is necessary to hold a press conference and let the media coverage stimulate investors in Silicon Valley.
But the next problem to face is: their company spent 2 billion to buy PayPal, must not leak any rumors, because if this spreads, it will definitely be a Silicon Valley joke.
So, today held a press conference.
Meg Whitman had already made discussions with the founders of the other two companies.
The details of the shareholding will not be disclosed to the public. Only three companies were announced to join forces to maximize profits.
eBay is a well-known Internet company in Silicon Valley, with a market value of $20 billion, which can be said to be the world's shopping website giant. Now the press conference is being held, and media from all over the world are flocking to report on the company's 'big moves'.
I'm afraid that something will happen to the press conference, which will make eBay even worse.
Therefore, Meg Whitman took this press conference very seriously.
In addition to personally supervising every job.
He is also responsible for arranging his trusted assistant to supervise on site.
If there is a media that is not very cooperative, please go out directly....
The venue of the press conference has almost been prepared, and the more than 300 media present have also settled below, which can be described as huge. It is estimated that the influence of world-class Internet companies will make so many world media flock to it.
There is still an hour or so before the start time, and it stands to reason that the other two founders who are going to attend the conference and cooperate with eBay should come, but they are nowhere to be seen, Meg Whitman is a little worried about whether the pigeon will be released, so she asked the assistant in charge of contact next to her: "Mr. Chen of Youwei Technology, and Musk have arrived.....
The female assistant with wavy brown hair who looks like a sexy actress said: "I have contacted Ellavini of PayPal, and Mr. Chen and Mr. Elon are rushing to this side." ”
Meg Whitman said in a strong woman's tone: "I have been in contact with the other party, if we delay the time of the press conference because of poor communication, we will be the ones who will be embarrassed." I don't want to be ridiculed by the media around the world. ”
The female assistant felt the pressure and felt that the president in front of her seemed to have become a resentful woman. Hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Mei...."
……
The other side.
Because when I was on my way to eBay.
Chen Chuliang called the sheep knife and Wen Congxin, who came to report to work today, to the office to discuss the direction of game development and delayed some time.
So, the departure was much later.
Sitting inside Musk's heavyweight luxury car, Cadillac.
Han Zhi matched him with a more casual suit, making Chen Chuliang look young and stable. Although Chen Chuliang is extremely reluctant to wear a suit, he has to say that if he wants to set off his figure, he still wears a suit beautifully.
Compared with Chen Chuliang's young and jealous age, Musk, who is in his early thirties, is a bit like a star competing with the bright moon at this time. In the past, Musk was known as a madman in front of the Silicon Valley media, but today he is not expected to be crazy, because there is a person who is even more crazy than him, so he can be compared in an instant.
It was still early to arrive at eBay, and Musk chatted happily with Chen Chuliang to pass the time: "Chen, you are too young, I think, after getting off the bus for a while, the media present will be crazy....."
Chen Chuliang looked at himself: "Are you young? I think I'm two or three years old." To be honest, I don't really like to wear suits, but I can't help it, my girlfriend prepared it for me. If I don't wear it, it will be difficult for her to see my news report in China. Hahaha...."
Musk actually heard a hint of romance from Chen Chuliang's words, he was originally also a prodigal son in love, and some media reported that the woman who accompanied Musk would not be more than a year, and now, he was a little envious of Chen Chuliang's good luck: "Chen, now it is a double harvest of career and love, which is really enviable." ”
Chen Chuliang smiled undeniably. Sort of, he's very happy with his current life. He smiled and said: "Love has been harvested, but the career is still a little bit short, we haven't taken the first step in Silicon Valley....When will we be able to make achievements in Silicon Valley, it will be considered a small success...."
Musk felt that Chen Chuliang was too modest: "Don't worry, Chen, I think you should become a real rookie in Silicon Valley within two or three years..."
Chen Chuliang said: "I borrowed your auspicious words... My partner..."
Musk suddenly came to inspiration: "I suddenly had an idea, I want to make the shell of the rocket developed by the Space Exploration Company we are investing in now into a shell with Chinese elements.... Otherwise, when the rocket we developed is launched, I will only be in the limelight, and I will have to bring Chen and you with me..."
Chen Chuliang does not interfere in the affairs of Musk's space company, he is only responsible for investment: "You can... In this way, I also seem to be confessed by the Huaxia Internet group...."
Musk laughed: "Hahaha.... It seems that Chen is also a flamboyant person. ”
Chen Chuliang said: "It's not okay to be unassuming in Silicon Valley...."
Musk nodded: "Indeed, in Silicon Valley, personality represents ability. ”
The two chatted, and time passed quickly.
When Musk introduced Chen Chuliang to his rocket company and some things he was interested in, the destination arrived.
At this moment, the bulletproof glass that was originally enclosed has been raised, and the logo of eBay can be seen outside. Musk said: "Chen, this is eBay, isn't it much bigger than our company? haha....A company with a market value of $20 billion....I believe that we will be able to create such wealth in the near future." ”
Chen Chuliang was already in the car and saw a large number of people standing in front of eBay.
It should be the greeting team that has been arranged in advance.
The battle was quite big.
is still there, he is in China, he is used to seeing all kinds of such scenes, he has adapted to it, and he is not very excited.
Wait for the luxury convoy to stop.
Meg Whitman has appeared in front of eBay to greet Chen Chuliang and Musk.
Accompanying them were all kinds of media present today.
On the acquisition of PayPal.
Meg Whitman suffered a big loss from Chen Chuliang.
Naturally, I am very 'interested' by this friend from China.
Wait until the doors of the Cadillac cascad, which can prevent grenades, to open automatically.
Chen Chuliang was the first to get out of the car.
Although Meg Whitman was prepared, her opponent was very young, but her opponent who was 20 years younger than her made Meg Whitman feel bad.
Moreover.
It's not just her.
The media present.
It is estimated that he has never captured this Chinese Internet entrepreneur who has recently stirred up a lot of big things in Silicon Valley.
It's also a surprise~~~
Then came the sound of the constant shutter to take pictures.
Who would have thought that an Internet entrepreneur from Huaxia would be so young and jealous.
There are many media, the scene is very large, but the press conference is important, and after meeting, Meg Whitman stepped forward and politely shook hands with Chen Chuliang, while speaking a sentence in Chinese to show respect for Chen Chuliang's arrival: "Mr. Chen, hello. ”
Chen Chuliang replied: "It's an honor to meet Ms. Meg...."
Everyone spoke politely, which provided a good atmosphere for today's press conference. Although she was cheated by Chen Chuliang, Meg Whitman still had a friendly smile: "Mr. Chen, please inside...."
Chen Chuliang walked with her: "I just like your warm reception." After that, he smiled, not humble at all, but with a flamboyant personality, and actually greeted the media next to him.
