Lu Shaohua brought Liu Mingzhang and their three giants of Phoenix Finance together, not just to acquire a Google share, if it is to acquire Google's shares, then Lu Shaohua can just ask Li Zongen to say it alone, and just take the matter with him and ask him to go to the United States to do it.

Yes, when Lu Shaohua began to form his own network kingdom, Lu Shaohua had already thought about it, to acquire the world's most prestigious companies in the future, if it could be wholly acquired, it would be wholly acquired, and if it could not be wholly acquired, then it would be okay to occupy some shares.

And this plan started at this time, Google is very lucky, it is the first company Lu Shaohua to start, and what company is next?

Undoubtedly, when Lu Shaohua is looking for a target, he is looking for a relatively strong company, take Google as an example, it is the second largest Internet company in the world, and the first is Microsoft. Microsoft Lu Shaohua already has shares and does not need to be acquired, but others are different, such as Yahoo, which ranks third in the world, and Lu Shaohua has also been jealous for a long time.

It's just that Lu Shaohua is helpless that Yahoo was established as early as 1994, and now five years have passed, and its development has gradually grown, and it is very difficult to acquire its shares.

But even so, Lu Shaohua also hopes to fight, after all, Yahoo is now a company that has been listed for 3 years, if there is no need to talk about it in private, Lu Shaohua can launch a hostile takeover, and finally reach the equity holding.

Of course, it is impossible to have absolute control, because Yang Zhiyuan, the founder of Yahoo, and another American have absolute control, since neither of them has 51%, but if the two of them are combined, it will be more than 51%.

Lu Shaohua still remembers that in 2008, Microsoft wanted to acquire Yahoo, but in the end the two sides could not reach an agreement, because the price offered by Microsoft was too low, so it was bought for $32 per share.

Yang's idea is $37 per share, so that he will get more than $50 billion from selling his shares. In the end, no deal was reached, and Microsoft announced a hostile takeover.

Obviously, launching a hostile takeover is just a smokescreen released by Microsoft, because Microsoft simply has the ability to launch a hostile takeover, and the financial resources are insufficient. If you think about it, you can understand that Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo at $32 per share would cost $44.6 billion, and if it were a hostile takeover, Microsoft would have to spend at least a third more money to complete it.

This is only a preliminary estimate, and if Yahoo's shareholders resist desperately, Microsoft's hostile takeover may end up paying more and more money, so this is simply impossible.

However, does Lu Shaohua have the ability to acquire? If Lu Shaohua made up his mind to buy Yahoo Company hostilely, then Yahoo Company could only wait for a large share, even if it developed to 2008, the market value of the entire Yahoo Company was as high as tens of billions of US dollars, Lu Shaohua was also able to acquire it, not to mention now, the current value of Yahoo Company is only just over 10 billion US dollars.

With Lu Shaohua's net worth, if you want to launch a hostile takeover, you can just move your fingers. However, considering that Yang Zhiyuan is Chinese, although he was born in Taiwan, but after all, his ancestral home is Fujian, Lu Shaohua hopes that he can agree to the Phoenix Group to acquire some, so he does not plan to directly launch a hostile takeover.

"Ahoo. You should be familiar with this name, right? Lu Shaohua asked lightly.

Needless to say, Liu Mingzhang and the three of them always pay attention to technology stocks, how can they not understand the company that has been listed for three years, well, not only understand, it is the kind of person who knows very well, who makes one of the founders of their company is Chinese!

"Yang Zhiyuan." Liu Mingzhang directly said the name of the founder of Yahoo, which fully shows that he has a great understanding of Yahoo.

Li Yunqing and Li Zongen were no exception, and when Liu Mingzhang's words just fell, they nodded one after another, indicating that they also knew Yahoo.

"My second goal is it, Yahoo is most famous for its mailbox, and the mailbox is already under development in Phoenix, and it won't take long to be on the market, but so far, I have only given the following the development of the Chinese version, and there are no multiple languages." After speaking, Lu Shaohua paused for a few seconds and said again. "There are two options, one is that we have acquired 51% of the shares and have an absolute controlling stake, then the mailbox developed by our Phoenix Group will only develop the Chinese version of the mailbox, and Yahoo will take the lead and sweep the world." And if they don't agree to our acquisition of 51% of the shares, then they launch a hostile takeover, secure the largest shareholder other than the two founders, and then Phoenix Group's mailbox will be developed in multiple languages to compete. ”

Obviously, Lu Shaohua used the trick of salute before soldiering, first talk to them, if they agree to sell 51% of the shares, then Lu Shaohua will use this soft way to complete the acquisition, and if they do not agree, Lu Shaohua will show his fierce minions, maliciously buy Yahoo shares on the listing, and privately buy shares with their minority shareholders.

In fact, Lu Shaohua prefers Yang Zhiyuan and his partners to sell their shares, so that Lu Shaohua can not be rough with them, and he can control it absolutely, even if he spends a little more money, Lu Shaohua doesn't mind.

There is no way, who asked Lu Shaohua to only support one company on Tencent.com, and the development mailbox was also developed by Ma Huateng, and there is no reading power to separate, and Yahoo is part of Lu Shaohua's plan, because they appeared as early as five years ago and occupied a lot of users around the world.

The acquisition of a ready-made one was Lu Shaohua's decision at that time.

And now that the decision at that time is finally going to be carried out and ready to be implemented, I am afraid that Yang Zhiyuan is unwilling to sell the shares in his hand.

"I guess Yang Zhiyuan is reluctant to sell his shares." Li Yunqing guessed.

Li Yunqing's speculation also has a certain basis, in his mind, Yahoo is like Yang Zhiyuan's child, created by him and raised it, but within a few years, the child will become someone else's family, and he only owns a little bit of the child, and he will not sell it if he is an individual.

"I also don't think he's going to sell." Li Zongen agreed with Li Yunqing's statement.

"I think so too." Liu Mingzhang did not contradict and agreed with Li Yunqing's speculation.

Lu Shaohua didn't think so, but Lu Shaohua felt that he should give it a try. "It's man-made, let's try to convince him, well, if necessary, I'll fly to the United States myself."

Speaking of this, Lu Shaohua glanced at the three of them, his expression was solemn, and he said. "However, you have to be prepared for a hostile takeover, and if you can't negotiate, go straight to the hostile takeover. Oh, by the way, there's no problem with funding, right? ”

At the end of the Asian financial crisis, the Phoenix Group's capital was at least between $600 billion and $700 billion.

If it does, let alone the acquisition of Yahoo, it is no problem to acquire Microsoft plus IBM and Dell plus Cisco and Apple. However, the time is different, the money has been spent by Lu Shaohua, and the current Phoenix Group is maintaining stable development, and there will not be too much capital.

"It's just a company that has just exceeded 10 billion US dollars, and our group can buy them wholly by taking out a little bit of working capital casually, not to mention that we have just finished a gold futures, and there is no problem in acquiring Yahoo with spare money in our hands." Liu Mingzhang said disappreciatively.

In Liu Mingzhang's view, buying a company that has just exceeded $10 billion is as simple as eating and drinking soup. As a matter of fact, the liquidity of a single Hong Kong Phoenix Group has been as high as more than $30 billion for a long time, and it would be too easy and too easy to withdraw 100 US dollars.

However, liquidity is liquidity after all, and Lu Shaohua will not withdraw the money if it is not necessary, because once it is withdrawn and not replenished in time, the Phoenix Group will have a situation of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, which Lu Shaohua does not want to see.

"It's good if there is no problem, then Mingzhang will contact Yang Zhiyuan for this matter, and find out the wind first, if he is willing, then I will fly to the United States in person." Lu Shaohua nodded and said to Liu Mingzhang.

"Okay, I'll get in touch with him when I get back." Liu Mingzhang said seriously.

"Hmm." Lu Shaohua nodded, then changed the conversation and said again. "Well, the third target, the third target is also a company in the United States, Time Warner, Times Times is a media company, and it is a group surname, well, I don't fancy Times Huazhi company, but I fancy one of his subsidiaries - American Online (AmericaNonline), referred to as AOL."

AOL is a well-known Internet service provider, and after AOL and TimeWarner announced plans to merge in 2000, the company's value skyrocketed, jumping to 193 places in the 2006 Fortune Global 500 rankings.

"Yunqing is in charge of this company, well, I don't ask for absolute control, I just ask for shareholding, oh, by the way, use an offshore company to acquire it." In the end, Lu Shaohua did not forget to designate the candidate, and gave more instructions on precautions.

"Understood." Li Yunqing nodded heavily and responded.

Li Yunqing has always been like this, and the company Lu Shaohua said is not ordinary, Time Warner, which is a well-known company in the United States, if you want to acquire the shares of their companies, you must be careful and careful, otherwise it may be very troublesome.

Lu Shaohua obviously knew Li Yunqing's personality and knew that he was very serious, so he didn't say anything more at the moment, just nodded lightly, and then changed the topic again. "The fourth goal."

"Oh......"

"Oh......"

"Oh......"

I have to say that Lu Shaohua has too many scheduled goals, he has already said the third goal just now, and now he has said the fourth goal, Liu Mingzhang and the three of them don't know if Lu Shaohua will say the fifth and sixth next.
