Chapter 815: Investing in Google

There is no need to doubt Lu Shaohua's ambition, he just wants to be a person and push the fields he is involved in to the peak, whether it is Phoenix Computer or the developing network industry, or the retail industry and shipping, or the automobile industry, Lu Shaohua wants to push all industries to the top, so that no one dares to say that no one dares to say that the existence of the first is the second.

Now there are many industries involved in Phoenix Group, and Lu Shaohua is most concerned about Phoenix Computer, Phoenix Automobile and Phoenix Electronics. When it comes to Phoenix Electronics, we have to mention the meaning of Phoenix Electronics.

Phoenix Electronics looks like a company on the surface, but in fact, this company is enough to set up a group surname, because Phoenix Electronics has more than five companies, namely Phoenix color TV, Phoenix refrigerator, Phoenix DVD, Phoenix washing machine and so on.

These things have also opened up the overseas market a few years ago due to advanced technology, and although the current sales volume is not ranked first, the second and third are always inescapable. This is still the reason why Lu Shaohua did not exert his strength, if Lu Shaohua wants to exert his strength, then it is certain to push to the top.

There are also the newly established Phoenix Minerals and Phoenix Jewelry, which have also been included in the list by Lu Shaohua, all of which have to be developed and reached the peak, so that no one in the world can compete with them.

At the same time, Lu Shaohua also knew in his heart that there was still a long, long way to go to complete his vision, but Lu Shaohua was confident, he believed that he could complete the idea, after all, he could create the Phoenix Group in just ten years, and there seemed to be nothing he could not complete.

What's more, Lu Shaohua has time, and in the next few years, Lu Shaohua will focus on this area, devote himself to the development of all its industries, and push them to the top one by one.

In Lu Shaohua's plan, he will take eight years to complete all this, until 2007, complete it in 2007, and then meet a new wave of financial turmoil, and then start the ultimate plan.

No matter what he does, the first thing Lu Shaohua has to do is to plan it first, and then follow his plan step by step to complete everything.

It's the same at this moment, Lu Shaohua already has a rough plan in his heart, and then he just needs to follow his plan. As for what the first goal of this plan is in his heart, there is no doubt that Lu Shaohua's first goal is a network company.

Lu Shaohua has already arranged for Liu Mingzhang and them to start acting, starting to acquire the four targets he pointed out, and after the acquisition is completed, Lu Shaohua will do further integration, and then let it develop slowly, and he will start the second step of the plan.

But before that, Lu Shaohua must pay attention to one thing, this matter is nothing else, it is Yahoo's business.

When Lu Shaohua asked Liu Mingzhang to contact Yang Zhiyuan, the founder of Yahoo, Lu Shaohua had already decided that he would come forward in person in this matter, and the next thing was to see how Liu Mingzhang was contacted, if Yang Zhiyuan intended to sell the shares in his hand, it would be better to say something, if he was unwilling to sell, then Lu Shaohua would not be polite to him.

Yahoo is sure to win, either owning their shares or owning more than 51% of them, and there is no other possibility.

…… Time is like water, years are like songs, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed silently. Yes, three days have passed since Lu Shaohua gave Liu Mingzhang and their acquisition plan.

On the morning of the third day, Liu Mingzhang and the others had already reported back the news, and their efficiency was not slow.

According to Li Zongen's report, the part he was responsible for acquiring Google has already been fruitful, and he used $10 million to acquire 30% of Google's dry shares, which is fine, it is a dry share, not an ordinary share. This kind of dry stock will still own 30% of the shares even if Google goes public in the future, and there will be no changes.

In addition, Li Zongen also finalized an agreement with the two founders of Google, that is, there will be follow-up investment, as long as Google they want, Li Zongen can increase investment at any time, of course, there is also a clause attached to the agreement, that is, no matter what, the company represented by Li Zongen cannot acquire more than 51% of Google's shares, nor can it take charge of Google.

The meaning is obvious, the two founders of Google do not want the company they founded to fall into the hands of others, so this agreement is specified, but in order to give Li Zongen a little benefit, they also gave Li Zongen a vote of directors.

In other words, when the board of directors is convened, Li Zongen has one vote.

For Google, Lu Shaohua knows that it cannot be completely included in the account, so Lu Shaohua never thought of being in charge of Google from beginning to end, which led to Lu Shaohua not giving Li Zongen an order to kill, and Li Zongen did not bear too much pressure during the negotiation.

However, the absence of pressure does not mean that Li Zongen is not fighting for interests, and it can be roughly calculated that the acquisition of 30% of Google's dry shares for $10 million now seems to be a high price on the surface, but with the future development of Google, the $10 million has increased thousands of times.

If it weren't for Lu Shaohua's push to the global market and competition with Google, Google's final market value would have exceeded $60 billion, and now it has acquired 30% of the dry shares for $10 million, you can imagine how many times the $10 million has risen.

Of course, the different times also mean that the equivalent of money is different, the current $10 million is equivalent to the price of 70 million yuan, plus Google has just been founded not long ago, it is not clear what the future will be, it seems a bit expensive.

This is what outsiders think, for Lu Shaohua, it is worth it, and it is very worthwhile, plus Li Zongen has made an agreement with the founder of Google that he can definitely make additional investment, this is the next opportunity.

In Lu Shaohua's memory of his previous life, when Google was just founded, they were looking for venture capital everywhere, but with the emergence of the dot-com bubble, many venture capital companies did not dare to invest in Google, which eventually made it difficult for Google to find venture capital.

Now Lu Shaohua has taken advantage of the situation, I have to say that it is a good opportunity, if the two founders of Google use up the $10 million invested by Lu Shaohua, and the company has no money, they will definitely find someone to invest again, this is another opportunity for Lu Shaohua.

Therefore, when Li Zongen said that he could make additional investment, Lu Shaohua almost didn't even think about it and made a phone call to Liu Mingzhang, asking Liu Mingzhang to keep $20 million of spare funds on the company's books.

All in all, Lu Shaohua just said that as long as Google asks for investment, then Lu Shaohua will satisfy them, as long as he can get more shares.

In addition to asking Liu Mingzhang to keep $20 million, Lu Shaohua also asked Liu Mingzhang how the situation was on Yahoo's side?

There is no doubt that Liu Mingzhang and they are completely convinced of Lu Shaohua's words, and Liu Mingzhang and Liu Mingzhang have done their best to complete the tasks assigned to them. If it weren't for the fact that these people were still speculating in gold futures and oil futures, Liu Mingzhang would have completed this matter a long time ago.

But because he couldn't spare too much energy, Liu Mingzhang's negotiations with Yahoo have been in a semi-stagnant state, which has also led to the fact that the progress is not very smooth, of course, part of the reason is that Yang Zhiyuan is not willing to sell his shares.

It's one thing to be reluctant, but it's another thing to have the need to sell.

Yang Zhiyuan and the other founder are both technicians, they don't have much experience in managing the company, and they are not clear about the company's future development route, which also causes Yang Zhiyuan to be a little worried.

And Liu Mingzhang has made it clear that if Yang Zhiyuan is willing to sell his shares, Phoenix Group will send experienced executives to help them manage the company. Yes, it is to assist, not to occupy, no matter how many Yahoo shares Phoenix Group acquires, Yahoo's CEO will always be Yang Zhiyuan.

More importantly, Liu Mingzhang expressed his sincerity, saying that if Yang Zhiyuan intends to acquire, then the chairman of the Phoenix Group will personally go to the United States to negotiate with them.

Who is the chairman of the Phoenix Group?

Lu Shaohua is also.

What kind of person is Lu Shaohua, there is no one in the business world who does not know Lu Shaohua, who is over 20 years old, but has created a miracle, a super-rich man with a net worth of more than 100 billion US dollars.

Such super-rich people are often mysterious, but they are willing to go to the United States in person, just to buy a small Yahoo company.

Yahoo may be a big company, with a market value of more than $10 billion, but compared to Phoenix Group, it is a drop in the bucket.

Yang Zhiyuan is very clear about this, and more importantly, it is Liu Mingzhang, the deputy executive president of the famous Phoenix Group, who called him.

Who Liu Mingzhang is, the deputy executive president of Phoenix Group is not wrong, but people in the outside world know that Liu Mingzhang represents the financial community, he is a financial genius in Asia, and he is also a well-known financial expert in the world.

Isn't it strange that such a person would come forward to negotiate with him to buy Yahoo?

Maybe Phoenix Group sent a person from the investment department to negotiate with Yang Zhiyuan, Yang Zhiyuan still felt that there was nothing, but it would be different to send an Asian financial genius and an international financial expert to come forward.

Yang Zhiyuan has no doubt at all, if he refuses, it cannot be ruled out that Liu Mingzhang will use means to forcibly and hostilely acquire Yahoo. No way, who made Yahoo already a public company.

Also, Yang Zhiyuan thinks about the long-term, if, Yang Zhiyuan is saying that if Yahoo is acquired by the Phoenix Group, then what will be gained, it is undeniable that Yahoo will get greater development in the context of the Phoenix Group.

Not to mention anything else, just hearing that Yahoo was acquired by the Phoenix Group will inevitably stimulate the rise of the stock price, after all, the Phoenix Group is a large group with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, and investors have absolute confidence in the Phoenix Group.

However, after all, Yahoo was founded by Yang Zhiyuan, just like Lu Shaohua founded the Phoenix Group, treating the things he created as children, and selling the children is still emotionally unacceptable.

This is also the biggest reason for the slow progress of the negotiation between Liu Mingzhang and Yang Zhiyuan.
