Chapter 398: Comparing the Bottom Line (Part II)

Starry and neon-lit. This article is written by. Starting

Under the terrace is the prosperity of a dream, and on the terrace are two old friends toasting to remember, talking about some old things, from Stanford's younger sisters to old professors, and then from the difficulties of entrepreneurship to the scenery after success.

If 100 years from now, people only remember the two people who contributed the most to the Internet, and one of them is Yang Zhiyuan. Because he pioneered the first Internet era and set the rules of the game for this industry, people may compare him to Bell and Ford in the future. ’

Half-drunk, Li Jiaming, who was determined to drag the other party down, gave Yang Zhiyuan such an evaluation, which made this old friend who was known as the Chinese twin stars laugh and drink.

Li Jiaming is also right, Yahoo is the world's first website to provide Internet navigation services, and it is also the first household website. From 2000~2006, it has been dominating the first place in the global Internet rankings. In the list of global Internet companies last year, it topped the list of Internet companies with a market value of $2,154, and the total market value is equivalent to the sum of the second to fifth places.

The Yahoo Empire, almost invincible!

However, Yang Zhiyuan also returned a high hat to Li Jiaming, and laughed: "Jiaming, if 100 years later, people only remember one person who contributed the most to the Internet of Things, then it must be Li Jiaming." Because he created the first era of the Internet of Things and set the rules of the game in this industry, people may compare him to Bell, Ford, and Yang Zhiyuan in the future. ”

"Pick up my teeth?"

"From the bottom of my heart, your Hanhua market value exceeds 400 billion, which is equivalent to two yahoo!"

Also, Li Jiaming said somewhat proudly: "I still remember that you once encouraged me to be Wang An, I wonder what Old Man Wang will think of our pair of Chinese twin stars when he crawls out of the ground?"

Referring to the old-timer who had been dead for twenty years, the two couldn't help but sigh, and raised the beer can to wish the seniors good luck in heaven.

"Hey, after Facebook goes public, how many compatriots will have hundreds of millions of assets?"

Changing the topic so quickly, could it be that he wanted to drag him, and he also wanted to drag himself? Li Jiaming was shocked in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged: "Five or six, I was really said by you crow, our compatriots are indeed flawed in character, Daniel Zhang is so biased towards them, he still can't do the white ghost." ”

Li Jiaming is wrong, he himself has risen from the bottom of society, he can usually sell his reputation and be truly calm and calm, but he can be more unscrupulous at critical moments, but Yang Zhiyuan's bottom line is much higher than him.

Religion can soothe people's hearts, but it can also put shackles on people's feet, and they will not act without a bottom line. Remembering that more than ten years ago, he said to this guy, 'We are all Chinese, we should do something together', and Yang Zhiyuan, who believes in Christ and is somewhat influenced by traditional culture, can't help but say quietly: "You are better than me."

It doesn't seem to be a fraud, Li Jiaming can see it, so he is relieved.

Although Facebook has not been as successful as expected, it will still create a group of Chinese billionaires, which is also something that Li Jiaming is very pleased about. Wealth reaches a certain level, it is really just a number, and what is valuable is what it represents, not the number itself. As long as there are a group of wealthy Chinese Americans in the mainstream society of the American team, the status of Chinese Americans will rise and gradually become the backbone of American society, rather than the ******** ethnicity.

"You're not poor either, I'm investing in basic research in the field of biochemistry, are you interested in joining?"

This can be regarded as an olive branch, Yang Zhiyuan grabbed it after a little hesitation, and said happily: "Okay, I will take out 100 million yuan to help my compatriots in their research." ”

There is no useless technology, only unexpected applications, and Li Jiaming, who only paid less than 50 million, was also happy, and by the way, he also increased the investment to 100 million. With this common foundation of future interests, the two are as close as ever, and they talk about the future of the biochemical field.

At this time, Wharton, the former legal director of Hanhua and the former legal counsel of Li Jiaming, has knocked on the door of Tim Cook, COO of Apple.

This Tim is not Tim, the former CEO of Yahoo, but the right-hand man of Apple founder Steve Jobs. During Jobs' hospitalization, Apple's stock price at his helm rebounded violently after a short period of decline, and by the time Yang Zhiyuan joined the board as chairman and interim CEO, Apple's stock price rose by about 30% compared with before Jobs disclosed his illness. In other words, he has gained the trust of investors, and without Yang Zhiyuan's joining, Apple will continue to follow the path designed by Steve Jobs.

Four hours ago, Yahoo's search engine suddenly failed, and it was quickly replaced by SOGO half an hour later, and Tim kept calling Yang Zhiyuan, but he didn't expect the lobbyist to come to the door so quickly.

The attack was indeed unexpected, but if it attacked Yahoo, it would not be easy to fire at Apple, and conversely, if Hanhua was only demonstrating to Yahoo, then Apple would be the ultimate target after a compromise between the two sides. Fighting on both sides, even if he is as powerful as Hanhua, Tim doesn't think that Li Jiaming, who can become the richest man in the world, has so much support.

The best thing to do now is for the two companies to fight back immediately and persuade the Ministry of Justice to immediately investigate Hanhua, first excluding it from government procurement, and then investigating the security of the 'Excellence' system.

But what Tim Wan didn't expect was that after the surprise, it would be even more unexpected, and it was surprising enough that the lobbyist came to the door so quickly, and what was even more unexpected was that Wharton, the former assistant of China Ming, actually came to form an alliance. The lawyer's words are always watertight, but the meaning behind a set of professional statements is very clear: as long as Apple drops its lobbying of the Department of Justice and expells their CEO and chairman, GCA is willing to sell them the wireless office products division in North America.

It was a department with an annual revenue of nearly 20 billion, and as Jobs's most powerful assistant, Tim Cook knew that it meant opportunity, and he knew that under that opportunity was a huge conspiracy.

Why?

Wharton, who came to visit in a suit and leather shoes, pulled out his iPhone, turned it off in front of the other party, removed the battery, and placed the silver phone on the glass coffee table.

"OK", Tim also pulled out his silver aphnoe to do the same, signaling that both parties were safe and that there would be no evidence left for what was said.

"Tim, East Asians don't think the same way we do, and in their culture, Judas is the most hateful. I say that, do you understand?"

"I don't understand".

It doesn't matter, Wharton talks about the friendship between Li Jiaming and Yang Zhiyuan like a story, the point is that Yahoo relied on Li Jiaming's prediction to avoid the stock market crash, and dragged AOL into the quagmire where traffic is king.

Some understand, two friends with deep friendship have turned their faces, so they want to ruin each other at any cost?

Who believes?

Wharton shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Believe it or not, I'm just telling a story." ”

No one would believe that the war between the two tech giants was actually caused by friendship, but Tim couldn't help but feel chills in his heart. This is a story, it is clearly a thorn planted between yahoo and apples, just waiting for the stalemate of the battle to take root. He believed that this young man in a suit and leather shoes must have been to Yahoo before coming to him, and he must have promised something. He was even more convinced that this was not the last stop in the other city's Cupertino, and that after leaving him, the young man would continue to visit other people.

Refuse?

It doesn't work, the members of Apple want to make it greater, the board wants to make it more valuable, and it seems that the goal is the same, but it is not. One side sees Apple as a business, and the other side sees it as an investor, and as long as GCA shows sufficient interest in selling, the board of directors will be divided.

Jerry's pie is really good, but who can guarantee that after winning over some mobile phone dealers, he will definitely be able to take the right to speak on smartphones from Hanhua?

Compared with an uncertain future, how can we first eat the wireless office market into our mouths? The wireless office market in North America is as high as 100 billion US dollars, and Hanhua occupies 30% of the market share, and Apple's acquisition accounts for half of the country!

Accept?

The alliance will be broken by itself, and then it will be broken by each one.

What's even worse is that at such a critical moment, the co-CEO of Yahoo and Apple can't be contacted!
