Chapter 1611 - Don't Let Outsiders See Jokes
The two founders of "1", Larry Page and Segil Brin, met Lin Feng at the "1" headquarters, which was also Lin Feng's second trip to the "1" headquarters.
"Hey, Larry, Segiel, long time no see! I thought we'd never sit here and see each other again in this life. Lin Feng sat in the president's office of "1", hahadaxiao.
Larry Page and Ségill Brin looked at each other helplessly. Indeed, the two of them once thought that they would never sit at the headquarters of "1" with Lin Feng for an interview, even if they met zaijian, it would be "1" annexing "Baidu Yahoo" and the two sides would sit together for a discussion. But that's at the headquarters of "Baidu Yahoo", not at the headquarters of "1". But no one thought that the current situation would be like this, and finally presented such a situation. A particularly embarrassing situation for Larry Page and Ségill Brin.
"Mr. Lin, I don't think we need to waste our lips and tongues. This is the current '1' financial statement, along with the upcoming debt. Larry Page handed the important financial statement "1" directly to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng sank. Although the report itself is very light, the meaning behind it is very heavy and heavy. Lin Feng also didn't expect that just after meeting, Larry Page would show the financial statements of "1" to himself. Although he is also one of the shareholders of "1" (4% of the shares), his identity as a shareholder has long been auctioned out of the company's board of directors by Larry Page and others. Everything that happens to "1" must be known through the outside media or through one's own news channels. And now, "1" has taken the initiative to send it to the door.
Obviously, there is a crisis in "1".
Lin Feng opened the financial statements, judging from the income in the first half of this year, the income of "1" was not bad, with a half-year income of 700 million US dollars, an increase of 15% over the same period last year. However, on the debt that "1" was about to repay, Lin Feng was surprised. In January, "1" will repay a total of $1.7 billion in debt.
$1.7 billion, even if "Baidu Yahoo", which currently has a market value of more than 100 billion dollars, has raised tens of billions of dollars in cash through the stock market, it cannot come up with so much money in one go. Now that "1" has to come up with so much money, isn't this asking for "1"'s old life? What's more, can "1" get so much money?
Lin Feng frowned. Of the $1.7 billion, $3.5 billion was spent on expanding the headquarters, $1.7 billion was spent on improving the company's employees, and the rest was all about acquiring companies. Of course, there is no problem with acquisitions, these acquisitions are all as they should be, and they are all acquisitions that can grow the "1", which is indeed a good thing in the long run. But the problem is that with the current "1", it is impossible to acquire so many companies at once. It's like trying to get fat in one go, only to be strung to death.
Lin Feng shook his head.
Radical, too radical! Lin Feng glanced at Larry Page and Ségill Brin with a look of disappointment.
Larry Page and Ségill Brin couldn't stop crying. "1" is so radical, it's not for you. Without your pressure, "1" would not have been so aggressive, and as a result, someone would have taken advantage of it.
After carefully reading these two reports, Lin Feng took a long breath. On the long list of debts to be paid by "1", the creditors are prominently printed with the name "nt1". According to these two documents, if "1" is unable to repay its debt in January, then "1" will compensate "Intel" by adding shares (with voting rights).
If this is the case, "nt1" will become the largest shareholder of "1" and will have an effective controlling stake in "1". At present, "NT1" owns 2% of the original shares, and the acquisition of 4% in the market, and with the addition of shares, it is expected to own about 45% of the shares, so it can be said that "1" has already controlled "1".
Obviously, "NT1" holding "1" is by no means what Larry Page and Ségill Brin would like to see. Otherwise, the two of them would not have pulled "NT1" to drive Lin Feng out. But who would have expected that the front door drove the tiger, but it entered the wolf at the back door. And this "wolf" is particularly insidious, and actually wants to swallow "1" directly. Therefore, in desperation, Larry Page could only find Lin Feng. Because only Lin Feng has the money to support "1", and only Lin Feng can support "1".
Of course, there is also a possibility of being swallowed by looking for Lin Feng. However, Larry Page and Segil Brin are confident that Lin Feng is willing to fund "1" and will not let "1" be swallowed by Lin Feng.
Because, they have a common enemy "NT1".
"What are you looking for me for?" Lin Feng had already vaguely guessed the intention of "1". However, Lin Feng will not take the initiative to say this sentence, and will ask Larry Page or Segil Brin to say it himself.
Larry Page and Segil Brin looked at each other and nodded.
"Mr. Lin, very simply, in order to repay this debt, '1' will increase the shares, and we hope that you can become the owner of this batch of additional shares. Ségil Brin said.
When Lin Feng heard this, he didn't speak, just looked at Segil Bryn.
"This additional batch of shares will be in the $700 million, which is about 1'175% of the shares. In other words, if Mr. Lin buys the additional shares of '1', he will hold a total of 215% of the shares of '1' and become the second largest shareholder of '1'. Ségill Brin had a hint of helplessness in his tone. If it weren't for "NT1", "1" would not have increased its stock when it was so newly listed. Increasing the "stock" will only make the "1" stake in the hands of Larry Page and Ségill Brin diluted.
The two of them didn't want to do it, but they had to.
215% shares, which is pretty good. But is it really 215%?
"Is this a class stock or a class B stock (without voting rights)?" Lin Feng asked coldly.
Sagil Brin sighed, knowing that this could not be hidden from Lin Feng. However, he didn't plan to hide it from Lin Feng.
"Class B shares. Ségil Brin said.
haha~~~, Lin Feng looks up to the sky daxiao.
"Segiel, Class B stocks, do you think I'm going to care about Class B stocks? Just 175% of Class B stocks can mean that I invested $700 million to help '1' get through this?" Lin Feng said sarcastically.
Sagile Brin frowned slightly.
"Mr. Lin, you should understand that once '1' is swallowed by 'nt1' this time, it will not only be me and Larry who will lose, but also you. Why 'nt1' is secretly plotting to annex '1' this time, I think its ultimate goal is not us, but you!" said Ségil-Brin.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
"Ségir, don't think about how important it is to me that 'NT1' annexes '1'. Even if 'nt1' really swallows '1', then what? At that time, it's a big deal to fight with 'nt1'! 'nt1' has '1', I also have 'Baidu Yahoo', and I also have 'T' and 'female D', two big graphics card manufacturers, and I'm not afraid to fight with 'nt1'!" Lin Feng said confidently.
Sagile frowned. Lin Feng's words were a bit too strong. Although Lin Feng owns "Baidu Yahoo", has "T" and "Female D", there is no doubt about the strength of "NT1", especially "NT1" also has the ally of "Microsoft", and once the acquisition of "1", it can be said that the strength of "NT1" will be incomparable.
"Mr. Lin, we won't talk about these hurtful words. In short, from a realistic point of view, now we are working together to benefit both sides, and dividing is to do two harms. I don't think anyone between us wants to be profited by 'NT1'. After all, the war between us belongs to the search engine world, and we don't need an outsider like 'nt1' to stick in the way!" Larry Page said at this time.
Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, no matter how "Baidu Yahoo" and "1" fight, it is an internal matter of the search engine industry, and if "NT1" takes advantage of it and takes the lead, it will really be a big joke. When the time comes, you won't be laughed to death by the outside world!
"But let me help the strong opponent of '1', 'Baidu Yahoo', it's okay, but it needs benefits!" Lin Feng didn't hide his own. You can't make a fool of yourself.
"Lin, like this. That's an increase of $700 million, half of which is Class B and half as Class B. What do you think?" said Larry Page.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and nodded. If this is the case, he has 1275% of the class stocks in his hands, and 875% of the class B stocks, although he does not have an absolute advantage in the '1', but it is enough, which is much better than Lin Feng's previous expectations. But it's not enough!
Now that "1" has come to find himself, it is obvious that he is at the end of his rope. If you don't take the opportunity to hit the "1" bottom limit this time, you'll be so sorry!
