Volume 1 Chapter 258 Zuckerberg
In the fashion capital, the energetic music is constantly passing through, the neon lights are flashing, and on the huge dance floor, everyone is twisting their bodies, in order to show their gentle side in front of men.
Gao Yuan brought Wang Lei here, when he saw all the scenes here, he couldn't laugh or cry, if it wasn't for Wu Xinlong personally telling him about this matter, he even wondered if he had come to the wrong place.
Gao Yuan looked at the young man who was about the same age as himself in the distance, walked over slowly, and said with a smile: "Zuckerberg?"
Zuckerberg looked at Gao Yuan, he also didn't expect this Gao Yuan to be so young, it was too unexpected for him. The two shook hands with each other, and Zuckerberg looked at Gao Yuan and said, "It's a pleasure to meet Mr. Gao." β
"I'm glad to meet you, too. β
Zuckerberg made a gesture of please, and the two sat together: "Mr. Gao, I don't know if you called me over this time?"
In fact, Zuckerberg knows what Gao Yuan told him to do, after all, the two companies overlap in business, so there must be competition, since there is competition, either they can cooperate, or they will turn against each other.
"Hehe, this time I came here, then I won't go around in circles, for the TT Group, I don't know Zuckerberg, what do you think?"
When Zuckerberg heard Gao Yuan's words, his brows furrowed, and finally he said very seriously: "Very good, very powerful, why do you ask that?"
"Hehe, our company is facing Facebook, and now I can't raise my head at all, and I don't know what they are doing, they have been in country m for a year, and they have even made Facebook grow rapidly, and I am very angry about this, so this time I came over, specifically to want you to talk to him. β
Zuckerberg's face changed suddenly when he heard this, listening to Gao Yuan's meaning, this was to comprehensively suppress his company, but soon he shook his head in his heart, since Gao Yuan said it so clearly, then it would definitely not be so simple to suppress it alone.
"Mr. Gao, if you have this, let's just say it, we people in country M don't like to beat around the bush, we all like to go straight. β
"I want a stake in Facebook. Gao Yuan's face sank suddenly, and he said very bluntly.
When Zuckerberg heard this, his face changed suddenly, although he knew that the other party might want to come over and ask for shares, but when Gao Yuan said it, his face was still a little unpleasant.
"It can't be. Zuckerberg stood up suddenly, looking extremely excited, and said indignantly: "Now Facebook's shares are very scarce, if it is given to you, then I will not have absolute control over Facebook, so I'm sorry." β
"Zuckerberg, don't be too busy refusing yet, aren't you going to listen to my plan, or what do I get in exchange?" Zuckerberg, who was about to leave, looked at Gao Yuan, his brows all furrowed.
"Speak. β
"Hehe, since that's the case, then I'll start with the first point, if the cooperation between the two of us is not successful, then I will comprehensively suppress Facebook, and transfer the center of the battle to focus on you Facebook, I want to see if the owner behind you will always hide behind the back to watch the show, or Facebook Valuations are declining, will they sell their shares, although the Internet stocks are relatively strong now, but under the strong impact, some small Internet companies will be completely vaga, I believe that the financiers behind you do not want to see the company not make money. β
"Second, we can join forces, kick out some people, and then let me in, and then TT Group will fully cooperate with Facebook and promote it in a comprehensive way, and then the number of registered users will definitely show explosive growth. β
"In fact, in Yindu and Thailand, the layout has been made for photo sharing and TT forums, and even more than a dozen schools have joined this big family, I don't know if Mr. Zuckerberg understands now?"
Zuckerberg didn't speak, stared at Gao Yuan and said, "Please continue." β
He stared at Gao Yuan, and now he was somewhat puzzled, the man in front of him was not small.
"Third, if we cooperate, then our competitive relationship will end here, and then we will compete fairly, and my joining will inevitably bring a lot of money to Facebook, which I think can make you grow quickly, and then you don't have to think about how to raise money every day. Gao Yuan looked at Zuckerberg a little moved, and said again: "I am different from the investors behind you, I am more optimistic about Facebook, even if Facebook does not make money for five or ten years, it doesn't matter, I can wait, the people behind you, can you wait?"
Zuckerberg heard this, he sat down again, took a sip of water, and now he fell into thinking, as Gao Yuan said, in fact, since the first two months, the investors behind him want him to do profitable projects, but he feels that it is not mature now, if he does these things now, it is very likely to break the company's projects, the most important thing is that there is a TT Group next to him, which is eyeing the tiger, so he does not dare to have any relaxation, if this time he reaches a cooperation with TT Group, whether it is for Facebook or TT Group, it is a win-benefit situationγ
Zuckerberg's eyes narrowed, he looked at Gao Yuan and said again, "How many shares do you want?"
"At least thirty percent. β
This lofty bottom line, thirty percent, means that Facebook needs to kick out several people to complete this task, he fell into deep thought, took out a cigarette, and suddenly thought that it was a little inappropriate to smoke here, and put the cigarette in again, Gao Yuan kept watching him, and he observed his every move very carefully.
The mall is the battlefield, and he can basically guess the other party's mental activities from the subtle movements of the other party, so that he can have a more detailed plan for the next negotiation.
"I don't know how much Mr. Gao plans to contribute?"
Zuckerberg is more concerned about this issue, and now Facebook has a big spread, and it also needs money, and it needs a lot of money.
"Mr. Zuckerberg, how about I exchange 10% of Weibo's shares for you?"
"Swap for 10% of Weibo's shares?" Zuckerberg said with a chuckle on his face, "Mr. Gao, are you sure you're not kidding?"
The current Weibo stock price is indeed not low, but it has not yet reached his expectations, he shook his head and said: "Mr. Gao, if you are so insincere, I don't think there is any need for us to continue talking." β
"Hahaha, Mr. Zuckerberg, please don't worry, I don't know if you've heard of 'Twitter'?"
"Twitter?" Zuckerberg really knows about this company, which is basically the same as Weibo content, and the scale of users is also quite a bit now, he doesn't understand, what does Gao Yuan mean by this?
Did he buy the company too?
It doesn't feel impossible to think about it, after all, if he really did such a big thing, then the news would definitely be broadcast.
"Mr. Gao, what's wrong with Twitter?"
"Hehe, it's not much, it's just that now we are holding 130% of Twitter's shares, if Weibo swallows up Twitter in the future, do you think Weibo's stock price will skyrocket?"
When Zuckerberg heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, if the two companies merged, then Weibo would usher in the first high flight.
"Mr. Gao Yuan, what you are talking about is the future, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, I think you should say something else. Zuckerberg tried his best to calm himself, looking at him with his eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly laughed.
Although Zuckerberg really wants Weibo shares, he decided that he still needs to hold on, and if he does, then Facebook's valuation will continue to climb.
Gao Yuan looked at him, waved his hand and said, "Put your conditions out, and I will also look at the price in your mind." β
He dragged his chin and fell into deep thought, and five minutes later, Zuckerberg looked at Gao Yuan, his eyes flashing with essence: "Ten percent of Weibo's shares, and one billion US dollars." β
Gao Yuan looked at Zuckerberg, he didn't expect the other party to ask for such a ruthless price, his brows furrowed, and he secretly wondered whether he wanted to agree to him.
"Mr. Zuckerberg, do you have confidence in Facebook when you want such a big price?" Gao Yuan asked, tilting his head and fiddling with his phone.
"Of course, after all, I naturally need to take care of the business that Mr. Gao likes, and it is very likely that the company will grow into a 100 million yuan company in the future. Zuckerberg was drawing a blueprint in his heart, and Gao Yuan looked at him and shook his head slightly, smiling bitterly in his heart.
"Mr. Zuckerberg, your price is too high, if I had so much money and smashed it all into the TT Group, do you think the TT forum will soar quickly, or even surpass Facebook in one fell swoop. β
Zuckerberg's face changed wildly, he didn't expect Gao Yuan to come up with this idea: "Ahem, Mr. Gao, business is business, if you don't feel suitable, we can sit down and talk together, there is no need not to say a word." β
"Ten percent of Weibo's shares remain unchanged, and I will add another 500 million, how about it?" At this time, Gao Yuan said again: "I am this condition, if Mr. Zuckerberg really agrees, then according to this money, if you don't want to, then our conversation today is over." β
After Gao Yuan finished speaking, he looked outside, looking at the beautiful scenery on the road, and his mood seemed very happy, while Zuckerberg was thinking in his heart, whether this kind of transaction was worth it, thinking of the company's financial situation now, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, the deal, but the problem of funds, it needs to be all in place within a week, otherwise this kind of transaction will automatically become invalid, how about it?"
"There is no problem, since Mr. Zuckerberg feels that there is no problem, then let's sign it, as for the shareholders, who needs to be kicked, you tell me, I will definitely help. β
Zuckerberg is definitely resolute in doing things, and now that this matter has been decided, he did not continue to stay here, but said to Gao Yuan, and left in a hurry, saying that he needed to go to the company to deal with this matter, and Gao Yuan also knew that he would definitely be busy, nodded and said something, just smiled.
Wu Xinlong walked over, looked at Gao Yuan with a smile on his face, and was a little stunned: "Brother Gao, did you succeed?"
"How do you feel?"
