[The second update! It shouldn't be possible to catch up before the early hours of the morning, maybe 1 o'clock, maybe update before noon tomorrow, in short, I will have three more! Maybe it adds up to four more tomorrow! *^_^*】
In a cleanly decorated office, Jeff? Skoll saw Song Chen, as young and heroic as expected! Just like the media broke the news, the pursuit of thrift and efficiency! Just as people think of being lustful!
glanced back at Zeng Qian, who was standing behind him with a humble smile...... Jeff? Shi Koll commented on Song Chen in his heart. It's just, thinking that he's imitating eBay to start a c2c business in China, Jeff? Skoll couldn't help but add: This is a worrying opponent.
"Mr. Skoll, welcome to Chenxing Company!"
Behind Song Chen's impeccable politeness lies a playful cautiousness, Jeff? Shi Koll handed out his hand and shook hands with Song Chen, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a year, Mr. Song's career is getting bigger and bigger, it's really gratifying!" ”
"Yes, especially paypaL, our partnership with eBay is becoming a model of friendly business cooperation in the world, from which we have gained a position worthy of the market! You may be seated, Mr. Schole! As he spoke, he invited the other party to sit on the sand, and Song Chen smiled, "Mr. Skoll, do you want coffee or tea?" ”
"Coffee, thank you!" Jeff? Skoll smiled and nodded.
He doesn't think so-of-principle Song Chen's so-called "model of friendly business cooperation" between eBay and paypaL! But one thing is worth affirming, Song Chen came to the door and laid a good foundation for cooperation between the two families! If eBay does not consider integrating more e-commerce businesses and expanding profit channels, the two sides will indeed take what they need and complement each other!
"This time I came to your company, with personal and company expectations, I hope to reach a consensus with you and your company!" As soon as this balding middle-aged white man spoke, the strong intention immediately made Song Chen, who rarely came into contact with similar business rhetoric, suddenly feel very stunned, and felt that he couldn't cry or laugh. But it is undeniable that Song Chen's heart suddenly tensed up at this time, because Jeff? Skoll now has a feeling of being at a loss.
Song Chen smiled dryly: "Really? I don't know what kind of cooperation Mr. Skoll is referring to? ”
Jeff? Schole smiled, "The first is googLe!" I have to admit that aoRds is very powerful! At the same time, googLe has an enviable amount of traffic, and I hope that eBay will have a closer relationship with googLe! ”
"Of course!" Song Chen nodded and said, "eBay is a partner, and I will try my best to promote the cooperation between googLe and eBay to provide high-quality keyword resources and preferential prices!" ”
"Thank you very much!" Jeff? Schole nodded, and then pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "I came to visit you without an appointment this time, in addition to reaching the keyword advertising of eBay and googLe, the eBay board hopes that I can reach an exciting cooperation plan with the United States Chenxing Holdings!" ”
"What kind of cooperation is it?" Song Chen asked with a smile.
Jeff? Scholar knew the importance of paypaL to Song Chen, but considering that paypaL was an important addition to eBay, he carefully considered his words and said slowly: "The board of directors of eBay gave me the task of acquiring a third-party online payment company a few days ago, given paypaL's leading position among similar companies...... eBay hopes to acquire paypaL in the form of guò cash and company shares! ”
Song Chen's heart sank, and he secretly thought: It's finally here, but how can I refuse?
Song Chen is reluctant to have a bad relationship with eBay unless it is necessary, but now it seems unrealistic?
Both chose to remain silent.
At this time, Zeng Qian walked in with a cup of tea and a cup of coffee. Seeing that the atmosphere in the office seemed to be quite dull, she hurriedly held her breath and carefully placed the quilt in front of the two people, and then left quietly.
"What does the eBay board plan look like?" Song Chen asked without moving.
Jeff? Skoll was in good spirits, and instead of flatly refusing, the other party asked, indicating that paypaL also has the potential to be sold. This moment, Jeff? Schol forgot the Chinese's euphemistic business rhetoric.
"400 million in cash plus 6ooo shares of eBay stock, a total amount of $100 million!" Jeff? "For a company that's only been around for a year, I'm sure that's a great amount of money, and even the most exciting tech merger on the Nasdaq in recent times!" ”
Indeed, $1o billion is an exciting figure for paypaL, which is just one year old! Moreover, the madness of the NASDAQ has not yet reached its peak, coupled with the fact that eBay has just experienced a 1:3 stock split, falling back from $3o to $1o, which means that there is still a great possibility of appreciation in eBay stocks.
But being exciting doesn't mean selling paypaL!
paypaL and Alipay are at the heart of his strategic plan, how can he sell paypaL for immediate gain? What's more, the 6ooo million eBay shares do not give Chenxing Holdings a favorable position on the board of eBay, which makes him dissatisfied. If he wants to trade, he would rather wait for the NASDAQ crash and invest in eBay or even Amazon in a more aggressive way than become a member of eBay's board of directors!
After thinking for a moment, Song Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "It is undeniable that you gave paypaL a price that is difficult to refuse!" ”
Song Chen's opening remarks haven't made Jeff yet? Shi Koll had time to be happy, and Song Chen's words changed: "But paypaL has an irreplaceable role for my company, and for this reason, I have to regretfully refuse your company's acquisition invitation!" ”
Jeff? Schole's face sank, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You should note that the U.S. legislature has different views on online payments this year, and holding paypaL doesn't give you more help!" On the contrary, after our eBay stock split, there is still huge room for growth in the future, and I believe that the final purchase price is definitely not 1o billion! If you are reluctant to sell paypaL due to concerns about Chenxing Network, VaLVe, googLe and 8848, I can change the decision on behalf of the Board of Directors and acquire 8o shares of paypaL! At that time, the cooperation between 8848 and eBay will allow us to have more room for cooperation instead of choosing confrontation in the face of Internet giants such as Amazon! ”
Third-party online payment companies making waves in the U.S. legislative community don't make sensible and determined-minded people feel swayed, so Jeff? Skoll didn't think of this as a killer either! In the end, he directly named the possibility that paypaL will lose its eBay business, which can be described as a dagger!
"It's a heartwarming one!" Song Chen sighed lightly and said very sincerely, "If I can, I am willing to try my best to facilitate the transaction between paypaL and eBay!" But there is an insurmountable fundamental problem in it, one, as I have just said, the importance of paypaL to Chenxing Company is not only for 8848, other companies need paypaL's deposit zài to cooperate with the operation of international business! If it weren't for that, I would have chosen to merge paypaL and Alipay with Alibaba Group! ”
Bright eyes staring at Jeff? Shi Koll, Song Chen paused slightly, and then said: "Second, taking a stake in eBay, an e-commerce company with a long history and active users, is an undeniable temptation for me, but 6ooo shares does not allow me to maintain my influence on eBay!" ”
Song Chen's undisguised ambition makes Jeff? Shi Koll's eyes were cold, but he quickly reined in, and he said lightly: "It seems that the industry's evaluation of you is not accurate enough, Mr. Song Chen, your ambition is unsettling!" ”
Song Chen smiled slightly and said, "You have misunderstood me, but you can express my original intention to some extent!" I hope to have enough shares in eBay to ensure that my intentions can be implemented quickly and efficiently, just like the listed Alibaba Group and the future! I don't interfere in the company's specific affairs, but I want my professional managers to be in line with my baton in the company's important strategic developments! ”
Pointing his temple with the middle finger of his index finger, Song Chen said quite conceitedly: "Because I believe that the future of e-commerce is engraved in my mind, here!" Clearer than anyone else! ”
Cheeks twitched slightly, but Jeff? Skoll was still very disappointed! Song Chen's meaning is very obvious, eBay can buy paypaL without even cash, but eBay must come up with more equity - in other words, Song Chen does not agree with eBay's valuation of paypaL!
This is obviously Jeff? Scholar and eBay's board of directors found it difficult to accept that they would rather open their own online payment technology. Even as planned, to acquire paypaL's competitors, instead of accepting Song Chen's self-righteous and extremely shameless blackmail!
But just like Song Chen is reluctant to turn his face with eBay, Jeff on behalf of eBay? Schol is also reluctant to tear his face with the potential of Chenxing Holdings, let Amazon and other online retail companies take advantage of the fisherman's profits, especially now that eBay needs to buy keyword resources from googLe, Jeff? Schole inevitably had a kind of hesitation about throwing a rat bogey. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe (Biquge), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
