"Boss, you call me? …… Jeff? Skoll? ”
The world of professional managers is actually very narrow, at least they are not strangers to each other!
Eric? Schmidt closed the office door and glanced at Jeff? Schole, Eric? Schmidt raised his eyebrows in surprise and stepped forward to hand his hand: "It's a pleasure to see you, Mr. Schole!" ”
"Me too! Mr. Schmidt! "See Eric? Schmidt, Jeff? Skoll's expression was also very happy, but there was inevitably some caution in his eyes.
"Schmidt, Mr. Skoll is here for the cooperation between googLe and eBay, please help me entertain the guests!" Song Chen smiled.
Eric? Schmidt to Jeff? Skoll made a "please" gesture: "Of course, dear boss!" Mr. Schole, this way, please! ”
Jeff? Skoll glanced at the smiling Song Chen, and said after a pause: "I hope eBay can carry out a broader cooperation with Chenxing Holdings in the future!" ”
"Of course! Always welcome! Song Chen smiled slightly, looking at Jeff? "Maybe soon, we'll have the opportunity to work together, Mr. Skoll!" ”
I don't know what Song Chen is hinting at, but Jeff? Skoll still nodded silently, in Eric? Schmidt's leadership ended the visit, and he was disappointed that he had not achieved the main purpose!
In early August, tabloid reporter Ashley? After being silent for more than a month, Fanning once again published inside information about China Chenxing in "Science and Technology People": FutureCareFree canceled the listing process, and SoftBank Group and Bain Capital provided a total amount of $30 million in Series A financing for FutureCare!
This is not a particularly eye-catching revelation, after all, the executive officer of the Future Carefree seat met with Zhen Ronghui, the representative of Bain Capital, and frequently contacted Dominica, the representative of SoftBank Group, and the Chinese media followed it closely!
The news from the NASDAQ and the demise of the investment bank also show that it is reasonable for the future to cancel the listing, after all, compared to the eye-catching 8848 and Ctrip.com, the listing of the future is too hasty!
"Tech People" reported the details in great detail, especially the amount of investment and equity obtained by Bain Capital and SoftBank Group has not yet been disclosed, while "Tech People" has revealed the specific amount and specific equity: Bain Capital and SoftBank Group each invested 15 million US dollars to obtain the equity of Future-Free 15!
Zhen Ronghui may join Future Carefree as a representative of the board of directors of Bain Capital, serving as a long-vacant operating officer, this news has not yet been reported in China, and the United States has reported it, so it can be seen that Ashley? The news that Fan Ning was suspected of being Song Chen's "lover" was not unfounded!
But Anthony, the boss of "Tech People"? Daniel wasn't particularly happy, he was in pain and happy right now.
When Ctrip went public online, they were decisive enough to buy more than 20,000 shares from the $2 to $4 price range. Later, his wife, Susan, sold thousands of shares at a price of around $8 and got her money back! They still have more than 10,000 shares of Ctrip.com depositary receipts in their hands, and at this time, Ctrip's stock price has risen to $11.3, which means that the stock in their hands has risen several times!
This short-term operation gave them a taste of sweetness, and they felt as if they were already in heaven. Although the Fed has raised interest rates for the first time, they are still ready to put more money from the bank into the Nasdaq!
Of course, it's not something he's bothered about, he's bothered about: Ashley? Fanning is undoubtedly Song Chen's lover, otherwise Song Chen would not have given the inside information so generously to that "sexy and sultry wild cat"! What he worries about is that if Ashley becomes Song Chen's woman, she will undoubtedly have a good career stage and economic income.
At that time, what did "Tech People" do to keep Ashley and the two stupid "kittens" behind her?
Jeff Schol was also worried, and the failure of eBay's acquisition of paypaL made him realize that the company could not wait passively any longer, so he decisively turned on the alternative and offered an offer to BILLpoInT, an online payment startup that was only three months old!
The acquisition is backed by Wells Fargo (eLLsFaRgo) and Visa Credit Card Company, and the news has shaken the tech world. If you consider that paypaL has encountered Elliot before? Spitzer has been hit by a series of "unwarranted disasters" such as the "4,000 kilometers" of public opinion bombardment, the investigation of Louisiana as the four-state government, and the policy crackdown of the U.S. regulatory and legislative bodies...... It is not difficult to imagine that the IT industry is unanimously singing about paypaL, and there are endless voices that paypaL will go out of business within a year or two!
The acquisition went smoothly and the purchase price was not high, and the founders and employees of BILLpoInT were very happy and were confident that BILLpoInT would become a leader in online payments if they had the support of eBay!
As for paypaL...... Let them go back to China!
eBay's acquisition of BILLpoInT inevitably had a different impact on the morale of paypaL's employees, who were no longer as loud and cheerful as they used to be, they became cautious, they became distracted, and they feared that paypaL was facing such a terrible outcome as the media had said, going out of business!
Rug? Filip saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, so he had to ask Song Chen and Erik? Schmidt reported on the situation.
"Tell your employees not to worry, BILLpoInT has only been born for three or four months, and it is absolutely impossible to cross paypaL in a short period of time!" Eric? Schmidt vs. Logge? Filip was very dissatisfied with the expected business competition without the slightest prevention, but it was not easy to reprimand in front of Song Chen, coupled with his own "gentle" character, he had to say patiently, "From this point of view, before BILLpoInT's online payment technology and network security have not been recognized by the market, eBay will definitely not tear up its face with paypaL and give up business cooperation!" This, from Jeff? Skoll came to buy googLe's keyword ad on behalf of eBay, and it can be seen that the other party needs support more than us! ”
Looking at Logg? Fili's knowing expression, Eric? Schmidt sighed, feeling that the other party was a good technical engineer, but not a qualified manager, and his most suitable position should be the position of cTo (Xi technical officer)!
Rug? Filip remains to be seen.
Of course, Logge? Phili's position isn't Eric? Schmidt could intervene, so he didn't tell Song Chen about this matter, but silently took it to heart, waiting for the right time to persuade the replacement! If you offend your colleagues by "slandering" in front of the boss, it is unnecessary!
Song Chen looked at Logge? Filip said lightly: "I said, it doesn't matter if paypaL loses seventy percent of its business, paypaL has more blank markets waiting to be opened!" There is also our 8848, the new version of the QQ game platform of Chenxing Network will also be put into trial operation in the next two months, and we even have the googLe advertising network that is being tested internally! ”
Looking at Eric? Schmidt, the other party nodded with a smile, Song Chen returned with a satisfied smile, and said: "Mr. Fili, you have to remember that the reason why our Chenxing Holdings is strong is not because a company has a strong advantage or innovation advantage in the market, but as a whole!" As long as other companies grow, even if we lose all external business, it doesn't mean that paypaL will go out of business! On the contrary, crises will keep us awake and walk more steadily. What's more, the results may be more optimistic than we imagined! ”
Appeased Logg? Fili, paypaL's top management and employees also need comfort. Because he was more worried about the poaching of his core employees of paypaL than the seventy percent of the business, Song Chen had a face-to-face conversation with the employees of paypaL again after a few months.
A year ago, there were only about ten or twenty people in this company, and at that time, Song Chen ran to paypaL twice in three days, so he still had an impression of the old employees, and some of them could even call them by name.
A year later, Song Chen stood in the open corridor and faced more than 200 pairs of unsympathetic eyes in the paypaL public office area, and somehow, Song Chen felt a sense of satisfaction.
It's like your own children are thriving with the naked eye every day, this harvest, this mental excitement is enough to replace the physical exhaustion, which is an indescribable pleasure!
“so!” Song Chen slapped his palms twice, signaling the slightly noisy voice to quiet down and listen to him.
"In the past two days, my colleagues in the company have been very panicked because of eBay's acquisition of BILLpoInT, and to be honest, I am a little disappointed! I hope that employees should not be afraid of this little thing, paypaL is not a joint-stock company, let alone a public company! You don't need to worry about the financial statements, that's a matter for me and Mr. Filip, it's a matter for the parent company, and it's a matter for the brother company! In fact, even if paypaL loses eBay's business, I'm not afraid to lose ......" (To be continued.
