Chapter 819: Negotiation Next
Lu Shaohua had already had a plan, and when Yang Zhiyuan and they agreed to sell the shares, he would talk about his general idea, and now Yang Zhiyuan and David? Philo has agreed to sell his shares, and it's time to say what he envisions for the future of Yahoo.
However, before Lu Shaohua could start to say his idea, Yang Zhiyuan took the lead in asking questions. "The current Yahoo company can be said to be very miscellaneous, and it is a bit different to say that it is a search engine on the Internet, because Yahoo's search engine has limitations, and it is also not like an Internet portal, but a bit like Internet communication."
As Yang Zhiyuan said, Yahoo's business scope is very complicated, and if you want to say that it is a network search engine, it is limited to a surname, and it is not comprehensive, and it is not like an Internet portal, because a portal website contains too many aspects, and the current situation of Yahoo website does not meet that standard at all. As for Internet communication, this is a bit of a spectrum, because Yahoo itself operates Yahoo mailbox, which is also one of the Internet communications.
"How do you plan to grow such a messy company?" Yang Zhiyuan asked.
Hearing this, Lu Shaohua did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Yang Zhiyuan, and only spoke after a long time. "I don't plan to change everything that Yahoo is doing now, I will follow the old route, but I need to add more projects to it, after all, it is a business and media company, and if the Phoenix Group is successful, then I will send a large number of technical personnel to help, so that Yahoo's various technologies have made breakthroughs and further improved."
No, speaking of this, Lu Shaohua deliberately paused and gave Yang Zhiyuan a little time to digest before continuing. "Also, in my vision, Yahoo Mail is a project worth promoting, and we should pay attention to this aspect and make Yahoo Mail the best mailbox in the world. As for other aspects, well, the exception is in the portal network, it is also a project worth developing, with the entry of the Phoenix Group, it is bound to bring funds, you can increase the search efforts to put more news, and it seems that it is not impossible to develop into the world's largest information network. ”
Lu Shaohua's meaning is already obvious, he has a good idea of the future development direction of Yahoo, even if Lu Shaohua didn't say it too carefully, Yang Zhiyuan and they can understand it.
In addition, Yang Zhiyuan and they also heard an overtone, that is, the Phoenix Group will inject capital, and Lu Shaohua will make additional investment, although Lu Shaohua did not say anything about how much additional investment, but if the owner of the Phoenix Group said it, he would definitely not invest too little.
This is not the end, not long after the voice stopped, Lu Shaohua spoke again. "I think you've investigated the Phoenix Group, right?"
In Lu Shaohua's mind, Yang Zhiyuan should have been desperately searching for information about the Phoenix Group from the moment he received Liu Mingzhang's call, and once the Phoenix Group was investigated, they should be able to know a lot of things. For example, Phoenix, Tencent, Phoenix Software Group, etc., Yang Zhiyuan should be clear.
In fact, Yang Zhiyuan and they did investigate the Phoenix Group, and the investigation was very clear, the subsidiaries of the Phoenix Group were all explored by him, and those subsidiaries related to the network industry were mastered by Yang Zhiyuan one by one.
According to the information obtained from the investigation, the Phoenix Group has a Phoenix Software Group, and the Phoenix Software Group has a company called Phoenix Search, which is currently developing a web search engine.
This makes Yang Zhiyuan wonder, why is Phoenix Group already developing an Internet search engine, and still wants to buy Yahoo?
Strange is strange, Yang Zhiyuan still left this problem behind, and it was Phoenix Tencent that attracted him more. Phoenix Tencent is known for its chat software, which is popular all over the world, and is now the most popular chat software in the world, overshadowing Microsoft's MSN.
This once again put a question mark on Yang Zhiyuan, Phoenix Group has already taken steps in the Internet industry, why is it still interested in Yahoo? What's more important is that whether it is Phoenix Tencent or Phoenix Search under development, the technical surname is far stronger than Yahoo, and it seems that Lu Shaohua does not need to buy Yahoo.
It is precisely because he is aware of the strength of Phoenix Software Group, a subsidiary of Phoenix Group, that Yang Zhiyuan has always had strong questions.
Okay, doubts are doubts, put aside for the time being, Yang Zhiyuan is now focusing on what Lu Shaohua just said - there is technical support.
What does this mean?
Others may not be able to understand, but Yang Zhiyuan has a deep feeling, with the strength of the Phoenix Group, if there is technical support for Yahoo, it means that Yahoo's technology will advance by leaps and bounds, and with the capital injection of the Phoenix Group, Yahoo will go to another level.
Well, that's a holistic statement, and the long-term argument is that Yahoo's direction is focused on information and Internet communications. That's right, it's Yahoo Mail, this is a big industry, if these two aspects are developed well, the future of Yahoo is limitless. Lu Shaohua said passionately.
In previous lives, when people mentioned Yahoo, the first thing that came to mind was Yahoo Mail, then the news on Yahoo's website, and then everything else. And Lu Shaohua, as a reborn person, certainly knows this.
Lu Shaohua is just saying it in advance, it doesn't seem to be a new idea, but don't forget that it is precisely because Lu Shaohua knows the direction of future development that he can give birth to Yahoo.
Even if he already knows how to develop, and Lu Shaohua has a large number of talents behind him, why can't Lu Shaohua take the lead in putting forward the future idea and let people develop it to realize the prosperity of Yahoo in advance?
It is undeniable that Lu Shaohua's thinking is very clear, although I don't know if what Lu Shaohua said is correct, but Yang Zhiyuan thinks that this is a very creative idea, and his original uneasy heart also persuaded Lu Shaohua at this moment.
Yang Zhiyuan had no objection, at this moment, he really decided, sold the shares in his hand, only kept 20%, and was willing to help Lu Shaohua take charge of Yahoo for free.
As for David? Fei Luo, he was originally in charge of technology in Yahoo, and he didn't participate in the operation at all, and when he heard Lu Shaohua say that Phoenix Group would have technical support, he almost didn't have to think about it before agreeing to sell his shares.
Of course, in addition to the fact that the Phoenix Group will have technical support, David? Fello was more concerned that he would not sell too many shares, after all, he only had 25% of the shares in his hands, and even if he did, it would only be 5%.
"I don't have any opinions." David? Philo nodded, then smiled softly and added. "I can sign my name on the contract for the transfer of shares at any time."
"Hehe......"
Yang Zhiyuan even laughed and said in Chinese. "Me too."
Although Yang Zhiyuan said a sentence in Chinese, it is not difficult to guess from his surface that the sentence he said was the meaning of agreeing to sell shares. At least in David? In Fei Luo's view, what Yang Zhiyuan meant was related to the sale of shares.
Lu Shaohua was originally Chinese, of course he understood Chinese, and when he saw Yang Zhiyuan and the two of them expressing their willingness to sell shares in English and Chinese, his heart had long been happy.
However, Lu Shaohua did not show too much joy, after all, the current occasion did not allow him to laugh, and more importantly, Lu Shaohua was afraid that being too happy would make Yang Zhiyuan and them regret their decision to sell their shares.
Just kidding, by the end of 1999, Yahoo's market value would exceed $39 billion, which was still a normal development.
Don't forget, the Phoenix Group has a great reputation in the world, such a company into Yahoo, a little bit of a brain people know what this means, this will mean that Yahoo ushered in a new era, no investment.
It is precisely because Lu Shaohua can predict that Yahoo's stock will rise, so Lu Shaohua made a guarantee. "The net worth of the two of you will exceed 10 billion dollars by the end of the year."
What is it? Is it Lu Shaohua's prophecy?
No, Yang Zhiyuan and David? The two of them don't think this is Lu Shaohua's prediction, although they are not business professionals, but there are some things they still understand, and they know that once it is announced that Phoenix Group will become the owner of Yahoo, Yahoo's stock price will definitely climb to a new high.
The stock price will rise, and combined with the current market value of Yahoo, they have reason to believe that holding 20% of Yahoo's shares will not be a dream of more than $10 billion.
"Let's work together." Yang Zhiyuan was relatively calm and said lightly.
"I'm looking forward to the technicians sent by your group." David? Instead, Philo became a fan of technology.
Lu Shaohua smiled lightly, got up, shook hands with Yang Zhiyuan across the table, and said softly. "Working together."
Subsequently, Lu Shaohua also talked to David? Fei Luo shook his hand and smiled as well, but Lu Shaohua didn't smile lightly, but laughed a little louder, and then said. "You won't be disappointed."
Yang Zhiyuan and David? Although the two of Fei Luo are known as geniuses, Lu Shaohua believes that those talents under him are not waste materials, although they cannot be said to be better than Yang Zhiyuan and the two of them in terms of technology, but the saying that there is a sky outside the sky is always reasonable.
"Haha......"
"Haha......"
Yang Zhiyuan and David? The two of them didn't say anything, just laughed.
The negotiation is over, yes, at this point, Lu Shaohua can finally say that the negotiation has ended, but, after the end, Lu Shaohua still has one more thing to say, that is, about the date of signing the contract.
"Someone will come and sign a contract with you tomorrow."
