Chapter 399: Tragic (I)

At 8:55 a.m., Kyle, who was dressed very casually, was blocked by reporters at the headquarters of HH company, but only waved at the reporters in a friendly manner under the protection of the company's security personnel, and then held his cup of freshly bought 'Starbucks' coffee and a large bread. At this time, at the gate of Yahoo headquarters, all people, including employees, waited and did not see Yang Zhiyuan's car.

At nine o'clock, the NASDAQ opened, and Yahoo plummeted 1.3% at the opening!

Capital markets are so sensitive.

Within three minutes, there were suddenly selling orders as high as 10 billion, which once again intensified the collapse of Yahoo's stock price.

If the failure of the Yahoo search engine on the 'Excellent' mobile phone can be speculated to be a technical problem, then the simultaneous sale of Yahoo shares by GCA and the LJ Foundation confirms that the contradiction between the two tech giants is irreconcilable. Compared to Yahoo's position on the Internet, investors would rather believe in GCA's strength in the smartphone space.

Immediately afterward, the official website of GCA posted an announcement that in view of the disagreement with Yahoo, GCA would withdraw from its board of directors and sell all the shares it held. At the same time, the company reached a cooperation agreement with Sogo to exchange 3.6% of the shares of GCA for 12% of the shares of Sogo, and obtained two executive director seats on the board of directors of Sogo.

Crazy Leak!

Yahoo's stock fell nearly 10 billion in market value in an hour and continues to plummet, and Yang Zhiyuan can't even contact his wife at this time.

As the news broke, Yahoo's stock price plummeted again. By the end of the afternoon, it had changed from a market value of 240 billion to 186.15 billion. Affected by this, Hanhua's stock price also plummeted by 8.58%, from more than 400 billion to 381.76 billion.

Lose both!

The climax came at the end of the morning, when Kyle, with a tired face, finally gave an interview to reporters at the headquarters of Hanhua, or a statement was more appropriate.

"We believe in democracy, equality and freedom, but in line with the company's strategic direction, GCA will focus on the economic ecosystem with 'excellence' as the core in the future, and abandon some non-core businesses. Here, we welcome Apple, IBM, Dell and other companies to negotiate the acquisition of GCA Group's non-core business. ”

What do you mean?

Hanhua has been investigated by the Ministry of Justice once, but there are rumors that it will be investigated by the Ministry of Justice again, and it is after Yahoo and Apple reached a strategic cooperation agreement, which is not obvious?

The first striker, the last striker is controlled by others.

By the time Yang Zhiyuan, who had capsized in the gutter, woke up from the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel, the stall outside was already rotten. Yahoo's market value has fallen by nearly one-third, advertisers are ready to sue it for default, and Apple's board of directors has split .......

After washing up and eating some simple bread and milk, Yang Zhiyuan always felt that the room attendant was very strange, and always stared at him with a strange eye. When he finished eating and took the elevator to the eighteenth floor of the hotel, he was startled by the sudden ringing of his mobile phone.

If something goes wrong, you don't have to answer your wife's calls, as long as you look at the hundreds of missed calls above the mobile phone screen, Yang Zhiyuan knows that the big thing is not good. Fooled, Li Jiaming's bastard must have blocked the signal, that bastard has always had that habit.

Vile!

After listening to his wife's eager call, Yang Zhiyuan was so angry that he smashed the iPhone specially made for him by Hanhua Company. But after the phone became a part, Yang Zhiyuan had become energetic when he walked out of the elevator again.

If Yang Zhiyuan was a scholar ten years ago, now he has become an actor and never forgets the instinct of acting. Moreover, the matter is not as serious as it was said on the phone, the stock price is indeed the life of the listed company, but it cannot hurt the company's operating entity, and just in case, Yahoo's overseas branch has nearly 20 billion US dollars in cash on its books, enough for them to survive this most difficult year or two.

Seek defeat before winning, this truth is not only understood by the Li family, but also by Yang Zhiyuan, who has played with him for so many years. It's just that he was too careless, or he didn't think that a person with Li Jiaming's social status would do such a deed.

After leaving the hotel and hailing a taxi, when Yang Zhiyuan returned to Yahoo's headquarters, he faced the accusations of the directors and the silent anger of his subordinates, and said calmly: "Gentlemen and ladies, if I had contacted me in the company or you, would the situation be better than now?"

No, it won't be more difficult than it is, and it won't be more optimistic than it is now. And I don't think it's a bad thing, but it at least tells us the fact that there is no possibility of compromise between us and them. ”

It seems to be the truth, but the question is how to explain it to investors?

"No, we don't need to confess, if they don't have confidence in us, then sell the stock. Ladies and gentlemen, our cash flow is sufficient to survive the coldest of winters, just as we did eight years ago when the dot-com bubble burst, as long as we are united. ”

The situation has already been so bad, how can it be bad? Yang Zhiyuan spoke lightly, and the floating people's hearts gradually calmed down. But when Yang Zhiyuan entered his office and learned the detailed process of the whole incident, he couldn't help but feel numb.

miscalculated, I thought that Hanhua would act rationally, but I never thought that those bastards were full of stunned greens, and would rather give up the tens of billions of dollars of interests that fell on Yahoo than force Yahoo out of the battlefield first. Yang Zhiyuan believes that as long as he retreats now, the current dilemma will be solved, even if the Sogo search engine has been hung on the iPhone's navigation page.

No!

I finally negotiated with Samsung, LG, Sony and other companies to let them give up 'Excellence' and switch to IOS, how can they rashly withdraw now?

The only solution now is to immediately persuade the Ministry of Justice to start an investigation process and expel Hanhua from the North American market as soon as possible.

After arranging the company's affairs, Yang Zhiyuan rushed to Apple's headquarters non-stop and asked COO Terry to convene a meeting of executives and directors. Back on Apple's board of directors, the two sides negotiated a deep cooperation, and now it's time to execute the agreement.

However, what Yang Zhiyuan didn't expect was that COO Terry didn't say a word, and only after asking anxiously did he smile bitterly: "Jerry, there are different voices in the company, saying that instead of taking the risk of competing with Hanhua in the field of smart phones, it is better to focus on PC, artificial intelligence and wireless office." ”

"What?"

"Our foundry has sent letters saying that they have limited capacity and may not be able to accept our follow-on orders. ”

"Impossible!"

Yang Zhiyuan, who was in the dust, screamed, but this was the case, and it was far more terrifying than he imagined.

When the smartphone was still a concept, GCA invested heavily in R&D and purchased various patents, and mastered almost all core technologies from panels to micro memories. In order to avoid violating European and American laws, Hanhua has authorized patents to countless manufacturers, and it has indeed created conditions for Yahoo and Apple to join forces to challenge.

However, with the rise of the tide of industrial transfer, Huaguo was known as the world's factory ten years ago, and only in China can it have all the complete industrial chains. Compared with Apple, Samsung, these rising stars of smartphones, Hanhua and its allies have hundreds of millions of orders every year, no matter which OEM company knows how to choose.

Sometimes the meaning of wealth is not that number, but what it represents. Li Jiaming, the richest man in the world, is actually not so terrible, but Hanhua has spent ten years to build a complete industrial chain, which is the real terrible.
