October 25th.

The news media in China broke a shocking news: PayPal's Musk has arrived in Hanzhou Youwei Technology.

The earliest time this news broke out was around 8 o'clock in the morning Yanjing time.

Everyone had just woken up and was ready to go to work, when they saw a piece of news that all major industry insiders in the Chinese Internet industry were shocked.

It picked everyone's nerves all at once.

Musk arrives in Hanzhou.

Doesn't this mean that there is a certainty in the acquisition of PayPal for technology?

.......

At around 19:00 pm US time, when the news of Musk's arrival in Hanzhou had just broke.

Meg Whitman, who is far away in Silicon Valley in the United States, already knew about it, and it was her son who studied in China who told her directly.

Meg Whitman was disrupted by this sudden 'accident' after work arrangements, and, as a professional agent, she has a keen sense of business, and immediately sensed that things were not going well, even though it was already past the end of work, she had quickly notified all the eBay executives to hold an emergency meeting.

eBay is aiming to buy Musk's PayPal.

However, because Musk and partner Peter Thiel went to China for a show, Meg Whitman changed her strategy and prepared to pretend to form an alliance with Chen Chuliang to reduce the price of the acquisition.

Originally, eBay was preparing to cross the river and tear down the bridge, so that promising technology could cooperate with them to sing the rivalry and buy PayPal at a low price. At the same time, he did not fulfill any promises he had negotiated with Chen Chuliang, which was very much in line with the deception in the shopping mall.

Now it seems that it is not that they are accurate, but that they are calculated by technology.

The importance of PayPal is a necessary condition for eBay's strategic globalization, and if it acquires paypa, eBay is bound to usher in an expansion that other shopping sites cannot resist. And as a listed company, eBay's stock will naturally rise and will definitely skyrocket by a few points... This is the outcome that both shareholders and eBay want to see, and her Meg Whitman will be covered by major media outlets in Silicon Valley because of this, and her career will be a wonderful one.

But now, as if the biggest failure in eBay's history is estimated to be imminent, Meg Whitman immediately called an emergency meeting to inform everyone that the company's top management must be present.

Because Meg Whitman gave the order to die, eBay's executives gathered again in the company's conference room from their respective homes within an hour.

The executives of eBay did not know that Musk, a fellow Silicon Valley colleague, had gone to Huaxia, and entered the conference room at this moment, complaining that Meg Whitman, a crazy woman, often made them stand by 24 hours a day after managing the company, while chatting happily in the conference room, which restaurant to go to after work before.

In short, the top management of eBay is completely unaware of the big news breaking out of Huaxia at the moment.

In the conference room, the top management of eBay is very relaxed. On the contrary, Meg Whitman, who knew that the situation was not good, was extremely difficult to see at the moment, she almost coughed at everyone with a cold face, and then said in a tone that seemed to everyone to die: "Everyone, I'm sorry to disturb your leisure days after work." I just got the latest news from Huaxia, just 1 hour ago, our Silicon Valley colleague Elon Musk has arrived in Hanzhou, Huaxia, to meet with Chen Chuliang of Huaxia Youwei Technology. ”

Meg Whitman repeats this sentence with a blank face.

Really.

This sentence was like a bomb that was dropped in the middle of the eBay executives, and they all exploded.

"What? Musk went to China?"

"It's impossible~~~ Didn't Musk suspend negotiations with any company?"

"President Meg, you are sure that the news is reliable, why hasn't the Silicon Valley media reported it?"

Dinner.

Many people expressed doubts and surprise at the news from Meg Whitman and Musk's arrival in China.

If Musk goes to China, this means that this is to sell PayPal to Youwei Technology?

Isn't their eBay a bamboo basket?

At this moment, the eBay executives who learned the news had various expressions.

But definitely not happy.

Rather, there is a panic of the coming of the apocalypse.

Meg Whitman knew that everyone understood the importance of the matter, and at this time, she didn't want to be held responsible, and said: "I need you to tell us now, how to deal with this matter? Will, didn't you suggest a few days ago, we eBay should not take promising technology in our eyes, and pretend to cooperate on the surface? Do you cross the river and tear down the bridge behind your back? You tell me now, where is this bridge? How can we demolish it?"

Meg Whitman looked at a white man in his thirties, a senior member of the company who often talked about business with other companies.

It was this person who made a suggestion in the company's high-level conference room not long ago to put a promising technology pigeon, which made all the executives agree to this approach.

Now, Youwei Technology has also calculated them, which is considered to be a, but the question is, how does eBay face this difficulty?

You know, now the entire Silicon Valley peers now know ebay's acquisition of PayPal, and they also know that it is almost nine out of ten now, and this acquisition, for all shareholders and investors of eBay, everyone is almost waiting to celebrate.

If it is, if in the end it is a bamboo basket to draw water.

Once eBay's capital is disappointed, eBay's own stock price and market value will also be destroyed.

When the time comes, everyone will wait for the stock in hand to shrink.

Pressing her head, Meg Whitman, as a woman, managing such a big international company as eBay, she is actually quite tired, more tired than before at Procter & Gamble.

After thinking about it, Meg Whitman said, "Everyone said, what now?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

Finally, a vice president second only to Meg Whitman stood up and said, "President Meg." I think that at this moment, if Weiwei Technology really wants to acquire PayPal, then we have to open a sincere cooperation model this time, hoping to reach cooperation with Youwei Technology and invest in PayPal together?"

After the vice president made a proposal.

This seems to be the last save.

And it works.

"Yes, President Meg..... I think the only thing we can save now is to open the door to negotiations with Youwei Technology....I just hope that the other party will not buy it in a comprehensive package, but let us buy a part of the shares." ”

Meg Whitman saw that everyone had no previous meeting at all, and looked down on this Chinese Internet company, and immediately felt funny. "Okay, I'll just follow everyone's wishes, and have a phone call with Mr. Chen of Youwei Technology, hoping to have good news. ”

Meg Whitman said this, and everyone else nodded in support.

Just as Meg Whitman was about to announce the adjournment of the meeting. Her cell phone rang again.

Usually Meg Whitman has to shut down as long as there is a meeting,

But today, things are special, Meg Whitman wants to know the outside world at all times, so the phone is kept open.

Meg Whitman saw that it was her son Mance, who was studying in China, who called, and she knew that it had been two hours since she learned the news of Musk's arrival in Hanzhou.

A moment later.

Meg Whitman's whole person was like a deflated ball, feeling powerless, and announced to the senior executives who were doing it: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I don't want to curse, just now, Musk of PayPal has joined hands with Youwei Technology to announce the official acquisition of PayPal ..... at a valuation of $1 billion....."

"$1 billion. That is to say, the price that we eBay worked hard for more than half a year to negotiate was cut off by others....It is equivalent to the result of our hard work for more than half a year is to help others make wedding clothes, how about... Do you still dare to underestimate the Huaxia Internet enterprises? Now they teach us how to behave, right? Let me tell you, Huaxia is a magical place, and their people know more about the routines of doing business than we do, because their businessmen have been doing business for 5,000 years. ”

Meg Whitman didn't subtly count everyone present.

Because, in her opinion, if everyone had seriously negotiated with Huaxia's promising technology at the beginning, it would not have been reversed by others.
