Meg Whitman didn't expect that Chen Chuliang of Huaxia Youwei Technology actually called her, which was an unexpected surprise, and this was definitely a behind-the-scenes operation that PayPal Musk and others could not think of.

She felt that this call was not simple, and immediately said that she welcomed the call. The whole process was in English: "Your company is one of the landmark enterprises of the Chinese Internet....I am very honored and pleasantly surprised by your call....I hope that we can talk about certain gains through this international long-distance and promote the public development of the two companies." ”

Meg Whitman is just saying polite words, this is the social skills of a big company executive....

Hearing Meg Whitman's politeness, Chen Chuliang's English is very good, and he has been a code farmer for more than ten years in his previous life, so there is no problem in talking directly to Meg Whitman in English. But Chen Chuliang knew that Meg Whitman could understand Chinese, because he had read her reports in his previous life and knew that she had great respect for Chinese culture... The level of Chinese is also high, and as the helmsman of an Internet company on an equal footing with eBay, Chen Chuliang felt that there was no need to speak other people's native languages in a low voice when talking about cooperation, so he said: "Ms. Meg doesn't suggest that I speak Huaxia, right.....?"

Meg Whitman understood what Chen Chuliang meant, he could understand his own English, but he didn't communicate in English, he put his status on an equal footing as soon as he came, smiled, and felt that this young entrepreneur with a unique personality was worthy of appreciation, and said: "I don't mind, I respect Huaxia very much, and I respect Chinese culture, I can understand Huaxia." ”

Chen Chuliang said directly in Chinese: "I spoke with Ms. Meg on the phone this time to exchange information about the acquisition of PayPal between the two companies. I think that our two Internet companies always have the same starting point and interests... What do you think, Ms. Meg. “

Meg Whitman is a businessman, and she is happy to hear such a conversation, and besides, she knows that the young man on the phone is at the age of twenty in China, and this kind of person is a genius like a demon even in Silicon Valley, and their IQ and vision are definitely not lower than her, or even higher than her: "What Mr. Chen said is right, we are businessmen, and we pursue maximum profits... I think Mr. Chen's call also means that we can sit down and talk together, right?"

Chen Chuliang felt that it was very convenient to chat with smart people, and said with a smile: "Ms. Meg... I know that eBay is determined to acquire PayPal, but we also have a product strategy for the acquisition of PayPal....Now, our two companies, like two hungry tigers, see a fat goat at the same time, everyone wants to pounce, and will not let other similar people compete... But this will inevitably lead to a fight, and even the goats that are used as food will go crazy and push in the middle, and it is unknown who will be injured in the end, so why can't we discuss together how to divide this meal... Even if it's five minutes full of what you can eat... Do we have the strength to find food for the next time, and not lose or even die in the fight for food?"

Chen Chuliang took the animal world as a metaphor, which is too appropriate for the current situation of eBay, PayPal, and Youwei Technology.

Moreover, Chen Chuliang also stated his own conditions in his parable.

That's a deuce.

Meg Whitman is not a fool, of course, she understood at once that Chen Chuliang was coming.

The acquisition of PayPal was indeed an important step in eBay's strategic decision.

But this step doesn't need to be packed in its entirety....

Of course, Meg Whitman also thought about finding a partner.

However, in this place in Silicon Valley in the United States.

eBay is surrounded by competitors.

This kind of cooperation with competitors is very similar to the situation of domestic Tengxun looking for promising technology to hitchhike, and a fool will agree.

So, if you don't pack it, you have to pack it.

Now, though.

Meg Whitman is considering.

If you cooperate with an Internet company in China, this risk will be much reduced.

But there is a potential threat.

That is, Huaxia, an Internet company, will also be one of the opponents in the future.

It's just that I don't know how far this will go in the future.

After thinking about it, Meg Whitman said, "Mr. Chen's analogy is apt. However, eBay has been studying the package acquisition of PayPal for a long time, and we will give you a part of the benefits if you don't say a word. Your conditions are not enough to make us change our minds. ”

Chen Chuliang smiled: "Ms. Meg is afraid that we will become the next eBay competitor of Wewei Technology..."

Meg Whitman was worried.

Because, the rise of promising technology is too fast.

Although in Silicon Valley, a lot of such businesses.

But she had heard from her son, Mance.

Huaxia's promising technology is now all over the social network, shopping, engine, portal, game....

It's just another Google in the United States....

With such an opponent, it is not difficult to guarantee that they will not catch up in the next three to five years.

So.

Decision now.

This will affect the next few years.

Meg Whitman had to be cautious.

"Mr. Chen. Here, I take the liberty of asking, what is the starting point for your company's acquisition of PayPal?" Meg Whitman asked again.

Chen Chuliang said unabashedly: "Ms. Meg, rest assured, we are not rushing to buy PayPal now, not to compete with your company on a shopping website... Even, in the next two or three years, we don't plan to make a shopping website, we just need to get a ticket to the American Internet market, our own core products, into the American Internet market, to see if what we can make Chinese people can fit your American aesthetics..."

Meg Whitman laughed and said, "The promises of businessmen have never been very reliable. And the viscosity of your products is very good, and my son, who is studying in Huaxia, admires it, so it is not difficult to foresee that you will be swept by the US market after you arrive..."

It was an honor to hear that Meg Whitman's sons were using their own products, and Chen Chuliang smiled: "Ms. Meg, don't you have the confidence to make eBay the best in the United States..." Are we worried that we, a Chinese company, will drive eBay off the altar? Even if we catch up now, we can't catch up....but it is Ms. Meg herself who shows weakness..."

Meg Whitman felt that Chen Chuliang on the phone was a speech genius, and his ability to persuade people was too good. She wanted to meet such a Chinese legend: "Mr. Chen, I really want to meet you when I have time." ”

Chen Chuliang said: "There is time at any time, it depends on whether Miss Meg is willing to invite me to dinner." ”

Meg Whitman didn't expect that when Chen Chuliang was negotiating, there would be romance from the Americans, and said with a smile: "For Mr. Chen's romantic persuasion, I still appreciate your sentence 'e-commerce godmother' more." ”

Chen Chuliang felt that women still liked to listen to praise, and he directly began to enlarge the move: "Our two companies, if the cooperation is pleasant, then, if we join forces, we may also make PayPal's current price plunge a lot..."

Meg Whitman 'oh', thinking that PayPal is now quoting more than a billion dollars, she feels that Musk is a poor ghost, and can make this poor ghost really poor and export evil "i Tell me, how we joined hands to make PayPal sell at a diving price...."
