Zhou Liwen made his request, and Chambers agreed to relay it after a moment of silence, and then hung up the phone.

According to the assessment of OR's current assets by the rich country, Zhou Liwen's company is already a veritable international company, even in Silicon Valley, where high-tech companies are located. Compared with Wells Fargo, which claims to be the world's largest bank by market capitalization, these capitals of OR appear to be very different. Speaking of which, even the ratio of a strong man to a child may not be reached, and perhaps it can be barely said in the case of giants and babies.

Zhou Liwen decided to exchange 0% of the spoon shares for the shares of Wells Fargo, not to mention the process of what the value of the 0% spoon will increase after the listing, just now based on the valuation of Wells Fargo, it is already nearly 800 million US dollars. The huge capital of 800 million US dollars, if it is personal wealth, can be ranked higher in the global rich list, but if it is really exchanged for shares of Wells Fargo, it may be just a few inconspicuous numbers after the decimal point.

As the world's largest bank capitalization bank, the capital scale of Wells Fargo is extremely large, and such a large share capital cannot be owned in the hands of a certain person or a few people, but is scattered in the hands of the shareholders of a very wide range of interest groups

For this condition put forward by Zhou Liwen, of course, it is impossible for Wells Fargo to reply immediately, this is not a trivial matter, even if the shares with a few decimal places are also a big deal for the huge Wells Fargo. However, Zhou Liwen is still very optimistic about the final result, since the other party is trying to meddle in his own business and wants to achieve huge benefits in the development of OR, then Zhou Liwen's request for a share exchange is also in line with the business procedures in terms of the rules of the game. Although capitalist countries have such and such problems, only business still makes Zhou Liwen appreciate it, that is, everyone is in the same rule, no matter how you make a move, as long as you do not exceed the red line of this rule, all conditions can be negotiated.

While waiting for Wells Fargo's reply, Corning's latest touch screen product finally got its hands on it, and Liao Yuancheng got the product and went into the laboratory to test it with the technicians of the R&D center. In particular, Liao Yuancheng bluntly said that it is no wonder that Apple's progress will break through so quickly, and Corning's new product has indeed reached the touch screen technology required for tablets. Now that Liao Yuancheng has started to make samples, Zhou Liwen will soon see the first commercial tablet computer born in the laboratory of the R&D center.

This good news slightly diluted some of the depression in Zhou Liwen's heart after the OR listing incident, and then another good news came. Masayoshi Son, who was in Japan, told Zhou Liwen by phone that he had solved the problem of Ahri's project to increase investment, and also persuaded Yahoo to inject a huge amount of $600 million into Ahri by SoftBank, Yahoo and OR, and according to the proportion of capital contribution, Zhou Liwen will get 3% of the shares, and SoftBank's shares will be diluted to 2 Yahoo for 5 Ahri's management and the rest of the investors' shares will occupy the remainder.

This good news made Zhou Liwen very happy, of course, Son Masayoshi was able to do this not only because of his personal ability, but also because of Zhou Liwen. You must know that the current Ahri is very different from the Ahri in the original history. Because of the birth of Zhou Liwen's two ITs, especially the early release of Alipay, Ahri has been greatly limited in the current development space. From this point of view, if Ahri wants to expand from the existing BB business to other businesses, it will inevitably have direct and fierce competition with Taobao and Alipay. At present, in the face of the strong market share of Taobao and Alipay, the possibility of victory is very slim.

What's more, in order to supervise Son Zhengyi's progress, Zhou Liwen instructed Liu Ting to start preparing for his own BB business when he arrived in the United States. Liu Ting put this matter very well, although she is in the United States, she can first make a big noise through domestic companies, put on a big fanfare, and seems to want to enter the BB business with the advantages of Taobao and Alipay, and compete with Ahri.

This move greatly affected the confidence of Ahri's management, and Ali's senior management was horrified, and it also made Yahoo, which had originally increased its huge investment in Ahri, hesitate.

Because no matter in terms of strength, the current number of users on both sides or other factors, Ahri does not have the upper hand at all, and Zhou Liwen is the one who has the advantage. In this way, if Zhou Liwen cannot be defeated, Ahri will inevitably fail, and once it fails, then all the previous investments will be in vain.

As for Son Zhengyi, because of the previous meeting with Zhou Liwen, he knew very well what Zhou Liwen's purpose was. He knew that Zhou Liwen's real intention in doing this was nothing more than to pressure Ahri and Yahoo to make concessions, so as to achieve his goal of taking a stake in Ahri. However, he does not deny that if this goal is not achieved, Zhou Liwen will really have a brutal competition with Ahri in the BB project, and with Zhou Liwen's strength, Ahri's chances of winning are indeed not much.

The best result is just an equal split in terms of BB, but don't forget that Zhou Liwen still has a strong advantage in BE 2, and even Alipay, the trump card. In this case, their investment will still fail in the long run. Of course, Zhou Liwen also killed 1,000 enemies and lost 300 himself, even if he could use this trick to defeat Ahri, the price and time paid were a little more than worth the loss.

Therefore, the best result is to let Zhou Liwen participate in the investment and become a shareholder of Ahri, and then unite the two parties to achieve a win-win outcome. For this reason, Sun Zhengyi found Ma Qingyang, who was anxious, and persuaded him hard, and finally persuaded the other party. Subsequently, he also contacted Yahoo and put forward a proposal to invite Zhou Liwen to join.

Forced by the reality in front of him, the arrogant Ma Qingyang had no choice but to accept it, and Yahoo had no problem, which finally came up with the current result.

Money, Zhou Liwen has been ready for a long time. After receiving a call from Son, he immediately called Liu Ting, who was doing market research in the eastern United States, and asked her to rush to Japan to deal with Son's SoftBank, including Yahoo, to deal with the huge investment in Ahri. At the same time, Zhou Liwen also took out the legal documents prepared in advance about the selection of SoftBank as the operator of OR products in the Japanese market, in order to fulfill the original commitment to Son.

Liu Ting, who received the call, did not delay for a moment, and flew over from New York overnight. In order to ensure time, Zhou Liwen even used his own special plane to send Liu Ting to Japan for this project, and met Liu Ting at the airport in person.

After explaining the truth, Zhou Liwen asked Liu Ting about the market research these days.

"The investigation is not over yet, and I will continue when Japan returns. However, I have a few initial ideas, but they are still being sorted out. Liu Ting said with a smile.

Zhou Liwen nodded and said, "It's okay, tell me what you think preliminarily." ”

"The first one, of course, is the online payment, according to the survey and the situation I have before, the United States is different from the country, the online payment is basically carried out by the bank, so in this regard, our Alipay advantage is not big. However, I see an opportunity to solve the problem of overseas and domestic settlement, whether it is the BB business in the future, or the expansion of the current BC business overseas. In this way, Alipay has room to operate. ”

"You mean the guarantee of cross-border payments?" Zhou Liwen asked.

Liu Ting nodded and said, "Yes, only in this way can our Alipay be useful." However, the problem lies in the fact that foreign exchange is controlled in China, and foreign exchange settlement must go through the People's Bank of China, which must be supported by the banks. In China, Huhai Bank may be able to help Alipay to undertake the cooperation of this settlement platform, and even our Alipay company can directly apply to the People's Bank of China for foreign exchange settlement business, but whether the latter can be approved is not necessarily. There is also a more critical problem in foreign countries, as in China, overseas settlements also need a bank as a payment, but it is slightly more convenient than the domestic bank can be any bank, but in terms of scale and service need to be well chosen. ”

"You've thought about it well, so let's do it, when the time comes, you can make a detailed written report to me, and I'll consult the bank, as for the choice of foreign banks...... I'll figure it out when the time comes. Zhou Liwen said appreciatively, at this time he flashed the name of Wells Fargo in his heart, if the share exchange with Wells Fargo is successful, it is the most appropriate choice to cooperate with Wells Fargo and Alipay. Wells Fargo is not only the world's largest bank by market capitalization, it is also the first bank in the United States to be approved to make online payments, and in this respect it has a greater advantage than any other bank.

Of course, Liu Ting didn't know what Zhou Liwen was thinking, and she continued to say the second thing: "I plan to open a branch in Xiangjiang immediately, as the focus of BB and B's overseas business in the future. ”

This idea made Zhou Liwen a little strange, and he couldn't help but ask Liu Ting why she thought about it so much, was it because of the currency settlement in overseas business? But if this is the reason alone, didn't you mention the question about Alipay before? And why is it just BB and BC business?
