"$2.5 billion, buy your Ant Search, pay all in cash, if you want the equivalent of Yahoo shares, you can also do it, the position of president is also yours, fully display your talents!" Yang Zhiyuan lifted his glasses, his face was serious, his slightly curly hair was a little messy in the gust of wind blowing in San Francisco Bay, and the Mediterranean climate was gradually getting a little cooler.

"Isn't Semel good enough?" Chen Bo didn't answer positively, and asked casually.

"He can turn Yahoo into an online multimedia platform, but not a technology company." Yang Zhiyuan sighed and said.

Terry. Semel's resume is also unquestionable, with Columbia CBS Broadcasting, Walt Disney, and President of Time Warner. Every position can be played to the extreme, and the means in the entertainment media industry are not inferior to Katzenberg, Eisner and others.

But he also has the biggest shortcoming, he doesn't understand technology, and the overall application of the Internet is a very unfamiliar field for him.

The reason for Yahoo's decline is also this inducement, taking the initiative to give up its core technical capabilities and focus on the largest media platform on the Internet, coupled with so many failed acquisitions large and small, it has become a burden, and it is difficult not to die.

Now that Yang Zhiyuan has realized what the problem is, why not make adjustments? There are professional managers in Silicon Valley, which can only mean that there is an internal rift between the shareholders' meeting, the board of directors and the management, and he has lost the helm of this big ship.

"If it had been two years ago, I might have agreed to this tempting offer." Chen Bo said without thinking.

Yang Zhiyuan seemed to have expected the result, and after being silent for a few seconds, he said easily, "When I go back, I will ask the assistant to send you a check, which can be regarded as supporting your public welfare undertakings, and I will not go to the event site." ”

"Then I will thank you first on behalf of the vulnerable people in need of help."

Chen Bo's answer did not directly refuse, but it also showed his attitude, I don't want to wade into the troubled waters of Yahoo, and ant search has developed to the point where no one else will be allowed to get involved. Even Defengjie and Sequoia Capital headquarters came to him, but he refused, because he was afraid that something would happen that he could not control these capital parties.

"You are like a dormant viper, a heavy ant, always like to hide behind your back, waiting for the moment of the fatal blow." Yang Zhiyuan's evaluation of him when he was leaving. This will probably be the last game, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future.

Yang Zhiyuan is a scholar, an earnest and seductive elder, but not a good leader, too soft and lacking aggressive, this is his image in Chen Bo's heart. As he said, Chen Bo is a poisonous snake, but it is also the best choice in desperation, and he did not put all the cards on the table. The truth of gambling, even if you don't have hole cards, you can't be seen through to have a chance to win the final victory.

San Francisco, Silicon Valley has once again become the darling of the media industry, and this time it is not only the IT version that has heard the news, but also the entertainment, current politics and economy. The luxurious Four Seasons Hotel has also closed some of its venues in advance in preparation for the upcoming event.

A big news storm is about to make Silicon Valley people a little nervous, what is going on? Why haven't I received any message? It wasn't until they received the invitation letter that there were only two days before the launch ceremony of Ant Charity.

The Google offices in Mountain View are a little baffled, Eric. At an executive meeting chaired by Schmidt, Larry Page asked with a frown

"Journalists are coming to San Francisco like crazy, but we don't know anything, who can tell me why?"

Everyone was shaking their heads, except Marisa. Mayer was about to speak, hesitating to say it.

"Marisa?" Larry Page asked, keenly catching the dodge in her eyes.

"Yes, I received an invitation." Marisa saw that she couldn't hide it, so she simply took the initiative, "It was sent by Chen Bo from Ant Search and invited me to participate in a charity gala." ”

"You and him?"

"I've only met once in Pengcheng, and everyone here knows about it." Marissa hastened to clarify that it was not a good thing to get involved with a competitor. But even she didn't know why she didn't tell the chance encounter at the Mountain View Cafe, or if she didn't subconsciously plan to tell anyone about it.

"Just a charity gala?"

"Yes, it's just charity, the time and place coincide."

"Then you go, Google is not a stingy person, and it may not be possible to gain anything." Larry. Paige raised the corners of his mouth and smiled unconsciously, the raunchy stubble covered the chin completely, if the face shape is rounder, this image is a living bear big bear two.

Both Page and Brin are typical polytechnic males who don't like to show their heads, and only technical achievements can make them crazy. If it's a general company, you actually gave the invitation to the employee and didn't give me the boss? This can definitely play a role in dividing the internal body, but it seems that even the president of Ericsmidt does not feel any injustice, and perhaps he still does not regard Ant Search as a competitor in his heart.

At the same time, almost all the large companies in Silicon Valley, as long as they do not involve competitors, will receive such a simple invitation letter, some people disdain it and throw it in the trash, and some people think it is a good opportunity for the company to show its face and gladly reply.

In short, this time Ant Search has set off another wave of public opinion, and the Internet has become the main battlefield.

With one day to go before the countdown, the ant's homepage changed from red ant to sky blue, and it was a more cute cartoon design, and the banner advertising space was also hung with Ant.org promotional posters.

Outside the gates of the Ant Park, there are reporters standing there, and even a fly flying by them will be recorded by their expensive SLR and high-definition cameras, and even two cameramen have a big fight for the best camera position, alarming the police station in Sunnyvale, and rushing over to volunteer to maintain order.

Chen Bo is not stingy, and he also sent them bread and milk in the morning, all for work, even if he makes anyone stand for a day, he can't stand it. The United States doesn't have the existence of such an artifact as Xiao Maza, so he is aggrieved and squatting on the grass by the side of the road.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, cars continued to drive into the park, and the reporters did not know who was coming, and their camera screen only showed the empty park entrance standing under the tall red ant sculpture and the newly placed Ant.org one-person-high three-dimensional characters.

Until there was a black Lincoln, with a grim face half-hidden through the window, squeezing out an embarrassed smile and waving to reporters, if he was given another pair of sunglasses, it would be more vivid.

"Oh my God, that's the Terminator!!"

", that's Arnold. Schwarzenegger. ”

"You're, he'll always be the terminator in my mind!"

"Isn't it a kid if you're not convinced? Do you want to use my big fist in a casserole to tell you how to respect your predecessors? ”

…… The reporters are really idle, and they can quarrel over this little thing, and the stupid black and thick police officer of Sunnyvale with a soft rubber stick is ready to greet them, and he only stopped his hand after being reminded by his peers.

Chen Bo was waiting in front of the rain platform in front of the office building at this time, and visiting the work park was a good opportunity for self-promotion, which was absolutely indispensable.

"Lavinie, long time no see!" The first one to come was none other than the playful high school girl who had worked together.

"Call me Avril, uncle!" The still uninhibited Canadian girl is now a popular female singer in North America, No. 3 in annual album sales on Billboard, on the charts for 22 consecutive months, and has been nominated for two awards in five MTV categories.

Punk girly style raided the American continent, and her highlighted hair, smoky makeup, and small tiger teeth were all her youthful and flamboyant labels.

"Can you get rid of the smoky makeup tomorrow and get all the MV you prepared?" Chen Bo smiled, "With this single, maybe you can win the Grammy." ”

"Don't worry, it's on me! You have really long hands, you just pointed out the country at the Oscars, and you are about to get your hands on the Grammys again? "Avril's approved personality is like the little sister next door, not the same as two years ago, but it still hasn't grown.

"Brother Xinbo, get eternal life!" Chen Bo raised his hands and looked like a magic stick, and when a car drove in, he handed Avril over to the staff to guide him to take photos of the event.

"Mr. Governor! I've been looking up for a long time. "The facial paralyzed monster who stepped out of the car was none other than Arnold. Schwarzenegger, this should be a childhood memory, Cameron's $250 million sci-fi film also burned this muscle geek.

"NO, NO, I'm not governor yet, I'm just running." Arnold stood in front of Chen Bo like a hill, Rao is not inferior to the size of Europeans and Americans, and he is compared to a piece of paper.

"In my opinion, you are the next governor, and if I have a vote, I will vote for you." Nonsense, what are you asking for? Schwarzenegger didn't come to do charity, he came to canvass for votes. He is known to be a Republican, and his policy is to enjoy benefits based on personal contributions, which is mainly aimed at the elite of Silicon Valley and Hollywood. The Democratic Party, on the other hand, is one-size-fits-all, all-balanced, and more favored by poor immigrants.

Chen Bo did not look for him, but his campaign team took the initiative to contact him, hoping to give a speech on a formal occasion and support public welfare.

"Don't you have a green card?"

"It's only two years."

"Then you can vote, but you can't use it to run for president." Arnold patted Chen Bo's shoulder and said.

In the United States, as long as you invest $500,000 in a remote area, you can get a green card, that is, permanent residency, if you invest more than $1 million in any area. It is only possible to work and study here, and there are no other civil benefits and the right to participate in general elections. Chen Bo just applied for a green card and changed his nationality in order to avoid the trouble of visas? I didn't think about it.
