The premiere of "2012" was held on Friday morning, and it was Friday evening domestic time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Boss Li revealed the latest news from the Ministry of Industry, Information Technology and Information Technology to Gu Mojie, he had no time to deal with it immediately.

Fortunately, there was no hurry in this matter, Gu Mojie simply took another weekend off in Los Angeles, enjoyed two days of leisure with the girls around him, and then took Feliro straight to Silicon Valley early in the morning of Monday on the 16th.

As for Ye Minru, he stayed in Los Angeles and continued to dispose of some human resources placement and diversion work. Quan Baoer also has her own things to be busy, and in the end, there are still a few sets of shots that are not perfect to make up for it.

The EC-135HD, in just two hours, flew from Los Angeles to Mountain View, Silicon Valley.

On Google's side, it was still the boss Larry Page who personally came forward to receive it.

Paige's expression looked very haggard, and he was obviously anxious about the troubles of his subordinates recently.

"JAY, I HEARD YOU'RE HERE TO REMIND ME TO 'BE PREPARED'? It seems that you are very well informed in the Chinese government. ”

Gu Mojie pretended to punch Paige in the chest with ease: "Hey! Take it easy, man. I'm obviously in Hollywood, okay with ILM? On the weekend, I heard that David poked out a big basket for you again, so I kindly flew over to remind you. ”

Page smiled awkwardly and tilted his head slightly, and his secretary immediately chimed his ear, quickly fanned his lips a few times, and said a few words.

Page's expression was straight, obviously because Gu Mojie's words had been verified, so he felt a little better.

It seems that Hatsune's partner has really not been eyeing Google's legacy in China for a long time - they have indeed been in Los Angeles for more than a week, and have been dealing with the relocation plan of ILM. On Friday, he also participated in the premiere of "2012" and offended the Sony family.

The matter of Industrial Light and Magic gave Gu Mojie a perfect protective color, providing an excuse for him to appear in the United States at this moment.

Moreover, a well-informed person of Larry Page's level, can he not know who is around Gu Mojie?

Quan Bao'er is indeed on November 5th, and Gu Mojie's flight to the United States happened to be only one day early. This information is all publicly available.

Judging from the evidence knocked on the side, more than a week after coming to the United States, except for the time when Gu Mojie and Quan Baoer appeared in their respective public places, it is very likely that the two have been tired of being together in private time.

With such a brain, Gu Mojie's image in Larry Page's heart is "not enough to be afraid".

People who are worth tens of billions of dollars are still trapped in love, and at the moment of major events, they are still obsessed with playing surprises with their own women.

If Google China really can't do it, if it wants to dispose of the inheritance at a discount, to whom? Of course, you can't dispose of it if you're thinking about going against Google. It's better to pick the heartless ones.

Gu Mojie's self-deprecation succeeded again.

Otherwise, even if he comes back in a few days, Larry Page and other core executives of Google will still have some guilt in their hearts: this guy, as soon as he heard that Google China is no longer good, he personally flew to the United States to talk about the strategy of 'sharing the inheritance after it hangs'......

And now, Gu Mojie can completely say that he is just "dropping" around.

Larry Page's psychological vigilance has been completely removed.

……

In Google's president conference room, Gu Mojie and Fei Liluo sat on one side, and in front of them was the green tea specially brewed by Google's waiters. Larry Page sat on the other side with old buddy Sergey Brin. There are only four people in the whole conference room, and the atmosphere is like homely chatter.

"David, you're really getting me in trouble. We have also been partners for many years, and I won't hide some things from you, the Security-Safety-Bureau, the CIA has always asked us to resist, and we must not lose the face of the free world in this matter. If David let go of that kind of cruel words, he would never be able to take it back. ”

Gu Mojie put on a sincere wry smile: "I seem to have advised you to be cautious...... Don't challenge the Chinese government's resolve. ”

Sergei Brin, the technical man, shrugged his shoulders heartlessly: "It's really going to be over this time." The federal government will not allow Google to give up its name for a small part of the overseas market. If the real thing happens, we won't wait for the Chinese government to kick us out, we will choose to go on our own and move the data center to Hong Kong. You must not lose both money and face! ”

"Hey! How do you speak? It's not there yet! Paige poked his old partner and told him not to complain.

Of course, Gu Mojie could see that this was actually a double reed. There are some current situations, Page still hopes that Gu Mojie knows, so that he can be open and honest to speed up the negotiations, but he is embarrassed to say it.

The tentative nonsense is almost over, and the two sides still point directly into the play.

Gu Mojie threw out his bait: "If Google China really wants to withdraw from China, I want to buy something from you to help you reduce some losses and cash out by the way." ”

Larry Page raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "Are you going to take advantage of the window period of our exit to do a search in China?" Compete with Li Yanhong for the market? ”

Although there is a suspicion of being picked up by a stone in the well, when this sentence is asked, Larry Page does not have much sadness in his heart. Or even if there was a little sadness subconsciously at first, it was quickly controlled by the businessman's reason.

China's search market is dominant, and it's not what Google wants to see. If Hatsune can expand the war and make enemies on all sides, and at the same time compete with Baidu, it will not necessarily be bad for Google.

However, Gu Mojie's answer made Larry Page very entangled.

"No, no, no, I definitely don't mean to take advantage of the opportunity, I'm just helping you stop your losses and cash out - I want all the search history data that Google China has accumulated in China for five years."

As expected, this answer made Larry Page stunned: "Why do you use it?" ”

"For the sake of our common interests, against Apple, Everbright Android."

Paige is also a genius with an IQ of 180, and after a little bit of thinking about it, he understands.

"As far as I know, at the beginning of this year, Steve Jobs spent $400 million to buy a company called SIRI, and then Apple itself threw hundreds of millions of dollars into it, accelerating the development of its products while frantically buying deep learning algorithm big data in related fields - you want my data, and you are also ready to fight against SIRI's product?"

Talking to smart people just doesn't bother.

"Of course, I have nothing to hide."

"That's nearly 30 billion search histories -- how much are you going to pay for?"

Gu Mojie pretended to think about it, and opened the price that he and Fei Liluo had already discussed: "RMB 1 cent, a total of 3 billion yuan, you don't lose money." ”

"Do you know how much it costs us to run a search business in China for 5 years?"

"But you've made enough money on advertising. This money is just taken for nothing. If I don't want this data, no one will. ”

"Other companies that make artificial intelligence assistants will need it. At least Apple will. ”

"Will you sell it to Apple?"

"Gu, can we not talk like that?" Larry Page adjusted the atmosphere, "Forget it, I don't think we should talk about the specific price in person." I can use the price you mentioned today as a reference for the legal and commercial teams to discuss. ”

……

Coming out of Google, Gu Mojie felt breathless.

This kind of negotiation is indeed protracted.

He asked Feliro to call and gather a few more business and legal backbones from China to negotiate the details of the terms.

Feliro dialed the phone and explained.

"And then? Are you still going to stay at Hotel Montevero today? ”

Gu Mojie pouted: "Staying in the Woolen Hotel, I'm irritable to death." It's better to buy and buy, and get a villa in San Francisco. ”

Naturally, Feliro was noncommittal, greeted her entourage, and then spent $7 million on the shore of Palo Alto Bay to get a 2-acre villa.

At all, it can be regarded as a sea view house in the San Francisco Bay Area.

After brushing the money, Gu Mojie thought it was a little funny when he thought about it. Last time, I flew to the capital to see Boss Li, and after I came out, I couldn't help but buy a Xiangshan villa. This time I saw Larry Page, and it was the same again.

I don't know how much money he will personally spend on this series of business.

Houses in the United States are not as good as those in China, where property taxes are charged every year. A house with a transaction price of 7 million yuan costs $100,000 a year to pay taxes.

The next day, negotiators from China arrived one after another, and from Tuesday, several rounds of tense negotiations began one after another, and Gu Mojie and Feliro could only grasp the overall situation.

The Americans are very serious about things, and they don't say that the price of Hatsune is necessarily low, but they are twisting the value evaluation algorithm of the search history, and they have been making various calculations for several days, and it is difficult to progress.

After three days of talks, Google proposed a new deal. The people on the Hatsune side didn't dare to focus on themselves, so they had to ask the boss.

"Larry Page wants a different approach? LET'S EXCHANGE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF YOUTUBE EQUITY FOR GOOGLE'S 5-YEAR HISTORY IN CHINA? ”

"Yes, that's what he meant."

IN '06, HATSUNE ENTERTAINMENT DID NOT SELL ALL OF YOUTUBE'S SHARES TO GOOGLE, AND HATSUNE STILL KEPT 25%. So at that time, Google only paid $800 million to buy the remaining 75%.

NOW THREE AND A HALF YEARS HAVE PASSED, AND THE VALUE OF YOUTUBE HAS OBVIOUSLY DEVELOPED, ALTHOUGH IT CAN'T DOUBLE EVERY YEAR, BUT THE COMPOUND GROWTH RATE OF FOUR OR FIVE PERCENT PER YEAR IS STILL THERE.

What's more, the price to be paid for a complete privatization is often 20%~30% more than a partial acquisition.

IN OTHER WORDS, GOOGLE WANTS TO COMPLETELY TAKE ALL 25% OF YOUTUBE SHARES IN THE HANDS OF HATSUNE ENTERTAINMENT, AND NOW IT IS AFRAID THAT IT WILL ONLY PAY $1 BILLION.

Gu Mojie thinks that Larry Page should not think that Google's five-year history in China is worth so much money.

HE COULDN'T HELP BUT ASK: "HOW MANY YOUTUBE SHARES IS HE GOING TO EXCHANGE FOR THOSE HISTORICAL RECORDS?" Don't tell me it's all. ”

"Google promised to add $100 million in cash to bundle Google's entire five-year history in China, and then exchange it for a YOUTUBE15% stake to reduce Hatsune Entertainment's holdings to 10%."

COMPLETELY DRIVING HATSUNE ENTERTAINMENT OUT OF YOUTUBE DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE TO GOOGLE. Leaving a few percentage points a little can also help both sides to cast rat traps and cooperate with resources.

That said, Larry Page still feels that the five-year history he has at hand is worth $500 million. After a little mental calculation of the accounts, Gu Mojie came to a conclusion.

The price is still a little inflated.

HOWEVER, NOW THAT IT IS IN SIGHT OF GOOGLE'S PURSUIT: COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUTUBE'S EQUITY, NOT MORE CASH. In terms of Hatsune Entertainment, there is also a direction for targeted bidding.

Gu Mojie and Fei Liluo discussed it privately, and then held a temporary conference call with China. Then, call Larry Page and offer his new price. (To be continued.) )
