Chapter 332: Cherish Feathers (Part II)
It is difficult to make the defending side unite as one.
Although the board of directors of Hanhua passed the cooperation with Yahoo by a considerable advantage, Larry still wanted to resist. Because the loss of 3o% of the equity and 1o% of the voting rights is still irrelevant to the overall situation, even if Li Jiaming still holds 21.4% of the voting rights in his hands, he may fall to Yahoo at any time. I have to say that Larry, the little bastard brought out by Li Jiaming, is very scheming, and even when he cooperated with Hanhua in all directions, he still left a chance to defend.
No matter how good the calculation is, it is vulnerable in the face of absolute strength. Li Jiaming, who had reached a compromise with Yang Zhiyuan, appeared when Larry was angry and wanted to fight.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Jerry and I have just reached an agreement to exchange our group's and my personal equity in goog1e for a total of 12.25% of Yahoo's shares."
βming!β
Ekri's angry shouting caused Li Jiaming to snort, and it was this cold snort that made all of Larry's fighting spirit melt down. Even if Ming sells his shares, as long as he maintains a relatively neutral attitude, goog1e may still be able to break through; But once Li Jiaming gave up neutrality, in the face of the joint encirclement and suppression of Hanhua and Yahoo, goog1e had no power to fight back.
Larry is not Ekri, he owns a sizable stake in Goog1E and would still be a billionaire even if it were swallowed up by Yahoo. And with his technical prowess, coupled with his friendship with Ming, it is not difficult to get an executive position within Yahoo.
But even if he was as angry as Ekri and depressed as Larry, he didn't expect that Li Jiaming would seek unexpected benefits for them.
"Eric, you will be the COO of yahoo, Larry, you will be the cTo, and then let me1issa be the cxo, do you have any opinions?"
Of course no comment, but could this be true? Xi technical officer, operation officer, and product experience officer have all let Goog1E people be, are you sure that this is Yahoo's acquisition of Goog1E? The sudden good news instantly extinguished Ekri's anger, and made Ky1e and them look at each other again.
ky1e, who was the first to react, saw that his colleagues were still in a sluggish state, and immediately said: "Jerry, when will the board of directors of yahoo pass the resolution?" β
"A preliminary resolution has been formed, Tim is in the process of completing the process, and a formal resolution is expected to be formed in one hour."
Ekri, who received a generous compensation, also hurriedly reminded: "Jerry, will it violate the Antitrust Law?" β
This question is asked appropriately, and it is also ignored by everyone, perhaps Yang Zhiyuan and Li Jiaming deliberately ignored it. The Anti-Monopoly Law is the sword of Damocles, a sword that hangs over the heads of all large corporations and may fall at any time. With Yahoo's market share, coupled with Goog1E, a monopoly has in fact been formed.
However, since Yang Zhiyuan planned so much, he also took this issue into consideration, but let him explain it in public, and he was a little caught off guard.
"Eric, we have a strong team of lawyers at Yahoo, and they said that there would be no problem, that is, there was no problem, ok?"
Larry, who came to attend, may not know what it is, but Ekri, who has worked for several large companies, does. If they are targeted by the Ministry of Justice, this acquisition will be in vain, and it will also cause Goog1E's morale to plummet, which is also an important reason why they have the courage to challenge Yahoo repeatedly. Maybe Yahoo has a way, but Ekeri doesn't plan to give up, because the most effective way to gain the respect of his boss is to oppose him when the time is right.
"No, you have to explain it to us".
But this matter, Yang Zhiyuan really didn't want to explain, so he had to look at Li Jiaming in embarrassment. Only this guy has that kind of credibility and can gain the trust of others without having to explain anything. Li Jiaming, who was already sitting at the table, nodded knowingly, knocked on the table with the old Parker gold pen, and nodded at Ekri and Larry, signaling that there was no need to ask about this matter again.
βokβ.
With Li Jiaming's endorsement, Ekeri immediately stopped asking. He didn't know what it meant to cherish feathers, but he knew that Ming had a bottom line in everything he did, unlike other big people who would have no bottom line at a critical moment.
But this inconvenient thing to explain, Yang Guoqing, who came from China, was very interested, and when everyone went home, he squeezed into Li Jiaming's bulletproof car, and said curiously: "Brother, explain to my brother, how can Yahoo's acquisition of Goog1E not trigger the anti-monopoly investigation?" β
This was originally nothing, but Yang Guoqing, who represented one of the forces, asked, what is it. Li Jiaming didn't squeak, drove the car out of the parking lot, and didn't say frankly until the car drove onto the road to the city center: "Brother, are you asking on your own behalf or on behalf of others?" β
This is a simple question, but it is not easy to answer, Yang Guoqing stuffed a Chinese cigarette into Li Jiaming's mouth, and used a silver Zippo lighter to help him light the fire, and said quietly: "Brother, in your previous words, the backers will fall, everyone will run, and people will ultimately rely on themselves." β
It's a dumb puzzle, and the answer to the puzzle is easy to guess. If there is no need, this is what he asked, if there is a critical need, it is likely that he wants him to come forward and use Yang Zhiyuan's connections. As for Li Jiaming's network in Washington, there is no need for him to say it, Yang Guoqing also knows that it is impossible. Only when the American Yang Zhiyuan sends someone to do something will he not leave a handle and be implicated in possible politics.
After pondering for a moment, Li Jiaming pondered: "As far as I know, David is a hardcore Republican, and Yang Zhiyuan is a hardcore Democrat. Those two guys are not short of money, and they donate money to senators and representatives every year, and they also donate money to the candidates they support every election year to build momentum. β
Understood, as I guessed, the two founders made separate bets, and whoever was on stage had to repay them one or two.
"That?"
This person is too small, or the bureaucratic habits are too heavy, and the things that can be deduced should be asked so clearly. However, to be generous, Li Jiaming said with a smile: "Brother, the acquisition case will definitely touch the Anti-Monopoly Law, and it will attract an investigation by the Ministry of Justice." But my guess, and it's just my guess, that the Justice Department's investigation will lag a little behind for various reasons, and that Yang Zhiyuan must have completed the acquisition very quickly, and in the form of a deal with a private person.
If my guess is correct, it will be procedurally legal, 1e is a private company, and the U.S. Constitution protects private property as sacrosanct, which means that I sell my stock to anyone, it is my freedom and is protected by law.
Of course, in terms of the actual consequences, there is no doubt that the Anti-Monopoly Law has been violated, and the Ministry of Justice will definitely investigate Yahoo and impose a considerable fine. However, this has nothing to do with goog1e, and even more so with us as shareholders. β
"So that's what happened", Yang Guoqing's pretending to suddenly realize, made Li Jiaming laugh with disdain, but what people asked next made him speechless.
"Jiaming, has the person who ringed the bell decided? Is it possible to consider a domestic partner? β
This is impossible, Li Jiaming said funny and angry: "Brother Guoqing, you have to ask ky1e about this." I've heard that the CEO office intends to vote openly and let employees vote for the four people they want. β
The title has changed from 'brother' to 'Brother Guoqing', Yang Guoqing, who is good at understanding the intentions of the leadership, had to give up and said regretfully: "Brother, you are a principled and affectionate person, and you are very respected by everyone." If you are not in your homeland, you will have to go back sooner or later, and getting to know more people from all walks of life will be beneficial to your future career. β
It is estimated that this guy is about to be promoted, once a son of heaven and a courtier, if he doesn't place this old secretary who often walks by the river, it will be inconvenient in the future, but Li Jiaming didn't hear it. At his level, friends are not more than fine.
