Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

Since you have decided to perform a good show, you have to perform a full set, and everyone will be fascinated by it.

After discussing with Kyle, Li Jiaming injected all the more than $200 million he cashed out on the stock market into the 'LJ' investment company, while YLE took the financial documents of the 'LJ' investment company to continue negotiations with companies such as Universal and EMI, and as for the toughest sony, he put it last and ignored it for the time being. The Americans look down on the Japanese, and when they know that the tide is turning, Sony will definitely give in.

Paying $10 million in royalties in advance can't impress those record company CEOs and directors, what about $20 million? In recent years, the performance of various record companies has declined sharply, which one does not bear the pressure of falling stock prices? With this 20 million royalty advance, the company's performance list will be a little more beautiful this year, and it may be retained by the board of directors!

is different from Kyle's verbal sword, Li Jiaming is really talking about Yahoo. Even if the other party offers a valuation of $10 billion, it is still shaking its head and biting to RUB 30% of the shares, and the shares are the premise of the negotiations. In the chat, Marissa, who guessed Li Jiaming's intentions, was also a super fierce woman, and after reaching a benefit distribution agreement with the company, she forcibly snatched the right to negotiate from Sequoia Capital; And the practice of offering a sky-high price of $200 million at the negotiating table, and asking for a one-time capital injection instead of those venture capitals, directly dragged the negotiations into an impasse, which he somewhat regretted.

This drags on time, even if Backrub is acquired first, HH will not let go, because they want to borrow Yahoo's tiger skin to negotiate with the record company. This little trick, Yahoo people also know it, and they also cooperate with the tacit understanding to let the directors on behalf of their own companies exert pressure and mediate, and by the way, go around in circles with the blonde beauty.

The United States is a commercial society, and it is true that film companies and record companies are all media groups, but media groups are all Wall Street! If Yahoo's stock rises, the investment banks, funds, and institutions on Wall Street will benefit, and how can the directors not ask their own investment banks, funds, and institutions to exert pressure?

The negotiation is complicated again, what Yahoo wants to do is definitely what AOL wants to stop, Yahoo is behind a slip of investment banks, funds, and institutions, and the same is true behind AOL. To complicate matters further, AOL is in talks with Time Group to acquire TimeArner, the veteran media empire, for $166 billion to establish AOL-Time Warner.

A chaotic battle!

This is another information-advanced business society, Yahoo lost to AOL in the acquisition, and the stock price has been affected, falling 1.09%. This time the two giants are pinching in the record industry again, who will win?

I don't know, but HH is definitely the ultimate winner. They have the best digital music sales sites, as well as the best online music download tools, and no matter who succeeds in the digital music field, HH is the biggest winner. The overwhelming reports, analysis, and debates of the mainstream media have made the HH company in the middle of the vortex popular again, and the sales of iPods that began to decline have also rebounded because of this excitement.

What's more, a middle-aged man who stayed away from the excitement finally admitted defeat at the board meeting, suspended the development of the digital music player operating system that was about to be developed, and suggested sending someone to HH to negotiate the purchase of patents.

Fail, no matter how this chaotic war ends, the record company will give E a license; Digital music sales will eventually be monopolized by e, and the iPods tied to it will also become the hegemon of digital music players, and the rest of the brands will have to rely on it. Even if Apple buys other people's patents and produces its own brand of digital music players, it will only be controlled by others and hand over the bulk of its profits to HH.

But that didn't stop him from being great, the board members regretted but didn't blame, Steve saw the trend and acted on it, but unfortunately a small company with a small name took the lead.

It's not a matter of ability, it's a matter of luck, and it's just that the board of directors was slow to make decisions and delayed the start of this massive $300 million project. I can only do this, buy the other party's patents, use Apple's brand to produce players, and strive not to let the $300 million go down the drain. The directors were even glad that the god-like Steve had finally matured and knew how to compromise. The maturity of a business genius is far more valuable to Apple than those $300 million.

Li Jiaming, who was arguing with Yahoo, finally learned from the company's phone call that Apple had sent someone to discuss the authorization, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic.

Seeing his friend so out of shape, Yang Zhiyuan, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but laugh, and said disdainfully: "As for it? Even if he continues to research and develop, isn't he only a vassal of yours? This is a society where channels are king, and if you have control of the sales channels, they have to bow to you! ”

Monopoly means huge profits, it is a market with billions of output value every year, and the overjoyed Li Jiaming said proudly: "You know the root hair!" That's Steve Jobs, the inventor of the personal computer, without his invention, we live in luxury houses, drive luxury cars, and look like dogs today? Do you know why we named the digital music player, iPod? That's a tribute to him! ”

"Come on, do you respect others? What do you mean by that? ”

This is another proud point of Li Jiaming, relying on some Internet language and jokes in his previous life, he can make Yang Zhiyuan and other cattle people think he is funny and talented.

"Go someone else's way and leave someone else with no way out?"

"No, another sentence!"

"A dead opponent is a good opponent?"

Seeing the guy on the other side laughing, Li Jiaming was funny and angry, and if he wanted to mock Lao Tzu, he said bluntly, do you want to beat around the bush like this? This person, the growth environment can't be too smooth, otherwise it will be easy to hold, and he always feels that he is great and superior.

"Laugh and laugh, laugh fart? What kind of good person do you think you are? The Geocities acquisition is another pitfall, right? How much do you want to pit AOL this time? A good doctor and a half doctor from a famous school, can you play some upright conspiracy? ”

Yang Zhiyuan, who was drinking coffee, was startled, and quickly looked around, and was relieved to see that the café was full of whites and Indians.

", dare you do it? Geocities provides free space and hosting services, but in addition to the huge traffic, it is a mess. As long as the bubble bursts or the price of personal hosting services drops, it is difficult to die. ”

Yang Zhiyuan, who was indeed digging a pit for AOL, immediately raised his hand to surrender, "Brother, I was wrong!" ”

It's good to surrender, you can save a lot of long nights, Lao Tzu plays so many tricks, and it's not for Larry. Paige that kid?

"Okay, just know it's wrong, and quickly agree to Backrub's offer. I never suffer, and I have to get back the field where you are getting in the way. ”

"What are you kidding? It's that broken company, and they don't sell it until they bargain for 80 million, who do you think they are? ”

Li Jiaming was a little unhappy when he said this, he lost some money, and he was a big deal? Lao Tzu only needs to be in the bag! If Lao Tzu hadn't become a bargaining chip in the fight between the two families, would you be so good-mouthed? At the beginning, I just borrowed your place to hold a press conference, and I made conditions when the conference ended, but now that the initiative is in my hands, can I still be polite to you?

Li Jiaming put the coffee cup on the table, sneered and scared: "Whatever you guys, it just so happens that AOL is in contact with us about HH financing, why don't I talk to them about 'traffic'?" You kid thinks Lao Tzu's paper is insightful, and you don't see you recommend it to Lao Tzu for publication? ”

Since he has said this, Sven's Yang Zhiyuan also said coldly: "Ah Ming, it's over, right?" Marissa is still biting 1200 million and not letting go, is this too much? Don't forget, you HH have to pay too! ”

If you dare to do it, you have to dare to admit it, and if you don't do it, you have to dare to admit it, in case the night is long and dreamy, Li Jiaming said: "It's not at all, since you dare to put me together and obstruct my acquisition of Backrub, if I don't get back to the field, how can I mix in this industry in the future?" I'm not afraid to tell you that I revealed the news to Marissa, and that she can take the news and go to Larry to do some good, because she's smart. ”

Who are these people? Yang Zhiyuan, who had never seen the face of a gangster, was secretly angry, but if he was asked to choose between RUB, he would definitely be willing to pay the difference of tens of millions.

"Ok, I throw in the towel!"

After waiting for half a minute, Li Jiaming saw that people just admitted defeat and didn't move, his eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice: "Yang Zhiyuan, don't you think I really owe you?" ”

How can this person be a dog-faced, and he really turns it over? Yang Zhiyuan, who was forced to be very embarrassed, saw that there was really no way to deal with it, so he had to call Tim to do it immediately. 100 million US dollars, and Yahoo has less than 130 billion, how can it be surpassed if you don't use some means?

"Tim, promise the backrub offer, well, I'll explain it to the board."

Isn't that the end of it? You have to play a bit hooligan with civilized people, otherwise you don't know how long it will drag on. Give up a small amount of money to make a lot of money, you can't be too shrewd in doing things, and if you are too shrewd, it is easy to have long nights and dreams. Li Jiaming, who successfully planted a flag on a golden mountain, was satisfied, and his face changed and he smiled, and invited: "Do you want to go to the mainland for the New Year?" You said that you are known as the 'Light of the Chinese' and the majority shareholder of SOHU, so you should also go and give a red envelope to the brothers, right? ”

Yang Zhiyuan, who has never rolled in society, really has nothing to do about Li Jiaming's hob meat, so he can only say angrily: "I don't have time, I have to go back to Taiwan, I usually don't have time, and I can't go to my elders for the New Year?" ”

'Papapa', Li Jiaming applauded lightly and praised: "There is progress, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills." Even if you want to beat me up now, you have to pretend that you have long live friendship in your face. Send you a word of advice, go and read Mr. Li Zongwu's "Thick Black Learning", you are a child who grew up in a greenhouse, and you have shortcomings in thick black. ”

After the matter was done, Li Jiaming got up with the book and left.

After RUB signed the agreement, Li Jiaming signed a check for 36 million, and after getting the long-awaited 30% shares, he arranged for the two assistants to go to AOL separately, and hurriedly packed his luggage and returned to China. As for the follow-up negotiations with Yahoo, that is Kyle's work, anyway, this play has already been performed by itself.

Hehe, 36 million is a little more, but the opportunity to buy a 10 billion dollar is not too expensive. What's more, after reaching a financial share acquisition agreement with Yahoo, Yahoo has to pay for this money. This kind of thing that harms others and benefits oneself and can be angry, Li Jiaming has never refused.
