Chapter 14: It Seems to Be an Old Man
Google vomits blood or not, Chen Bo doesn't know, but Mayer has fallen into a state of madness.
The old lady is a vice president anyway, don't you think about the impact? You sent it, and it was sent to Google Workspace. This is the rhythm of forcing people to death, whether you accept it or not, this adultery is about to be confirmed by the media, and it can't be washed away no matter what.
Call Chen Bo to drag him away? I can't find anyone at all, it's all assistants answering.
Even if you are a tin man who doesn't rest, how can you have a 24-hour non-stop meeting and throw your phone to your assistant?
In the end, I had to sign for this valuable supercar under Page's murderous gaze, although the time was very short, and the full name of Marisa Mayer was already sprayed on the door, so I still cared about the details.
After Smit and Shirley talked a few times, they knew that she was determined to leave, and they could only choose to let her go. Can a butcher eat a pig with hair without Zhang? Smit quickly promoted a female vice president, Susan Wojcicki!
This eldest sister is also quite amazing, it was she who rented the garage to Page and Brin back then, which gave birth to Google. With a big belly, he was fooled by two juniors to jump from Intel, and he also gave his own sister Anne Wojcicki to Brin, which was simply a loss to his wife and a soldier.
She and Shirley work together perfectly and complement each other. Jointly built Google's sales framework and was called Google's goddess of wealth.
The vice president of the world's No. 1 search engine company jumped to the world's No. 2 search engine company, and the smell of war began to fill the Internet rivers and lakes without gunsmoke, and countless media flocked to Ant City to watch this good show.
Chen Bo is not only the person who poached you, but also held a high-profile press conference, announcing to the media on the spot that Shirley will enter the board of directors of Ant Technology as an executive director and lead the wireless business group.
The world's most paid female executives came into being, and the salaries of female CEOs such as Avon, Loma, and eBay are only a fraction of what she wants.
Shirley is only 35 years old this year, and at the peak of her energy, the young and energetic vice president full of ideals and ambitions blessed her predecessor in front of the media, and also showed her confidence in meeting future challenges in a high-profile manner, with impeccable IQ and emotional intelligence.
Subsequently, Chen Bo also announced the list of interim board of directors of Ant Technology, with him personally serving as chairman of the board of directors and removing the position of global president. The vice chairman is Hoffman, the executive directors are Shirley and Hastings, and the independent directors are Ellison and Steve Rockefeller.
In California's corporate law, the position of an INED is very important, and he cannot be a shareholder or have any position in the company. This is very strict compared with the style of domestic independent directors, and the salary will not exceed 100,000 US dollars, and they can propose the convening of the board of directors, and they are also responsible for voting on behalf of small and medium-sized shareholders.
There are people who specialize in the industry of independent directors, and it is common for university professors to make cameos to make some extra money, but that is only done by small and medium-sized companies.
Like Ant Technology's current scale, it must have a little weight to be able to hold it down. It's fitting for Ellison to be idle right now, Jobs is not available, and he still serves as a director of Disney. Steve Rockefeller has to help out with reason, can't he pull the old one and the little one? As for the executive directors, basically everyone represents a business group, and the absence of Chinese executives is still out of consideration for overseas markets.
It was also announced in passing that two new non-voting honorary directors, Alwaleed and William, were added.
In the eyes of the media, this is already a super luxurious lineup!
The endorsement of the members of the Rockefeller family, the old hooligans of Silicon Valley stand on the platform, and the help of the two princes. One of them is the god of the Middle East, and the other is the future king of England.
It's so awesome, does your family know?
The media blew up in an instant, and one report after another immediately made headlines.
It's too late! Exclusive to the royal family, noble search, hanging bomb heaven!!
Princess Diana's legacy has been invested in Ant Technology, what are you waiting for? The Rockefeller family is optimistic about the company, how can it be limited in the future?
Of course, there are some that are blown and damaged, and some media say that this is grandstanding, the usual marketing trick, and that little inheritance is not enough to stuff the gaps. The prince does not represent the royal family, he is simply being fooled.
William, a graduating student who blushed and acknowledged the fact that he had surrounded the gates of the University of St. Andrews, praised Ant Tech's innovative spirit and promised that future investment proceeds would go to philanthropy.
William's undisclosed official remarks have satisfied countless people, so that Ant Search, which was originally at a disadvantage in the UK, instantly overshadowed Google, which is the influence of the royal family.
Alwaleed will not waste this opportunity to show his face, and gave an exclusive interview to reporters in New York in a very high-profile manner, eager to tell the story of how he valued ant search and how he persuaded Chen Bo to become a shareholder, divided into six chapters and twenty-four chapters, to show his unparalleled investment vision.
Of course, the media is happy to write such stories, and as long as it involves the royal family, it will always lead people to reverie, right? For a while, the hot search list was full of articles related to ant search. Chen Bodu had to manually lower the heat in the background.
Of course, Google is not a good stubble that can easily swallow this breath, how can you let you take advantage of the cheapness, right? Turning around, he filed a lawsuit directly with the Santa Clara County Court, accusing Ant Technology of improper poaching.
As soon as the news came out, it intensified like adding fuel to the fire, and once again triggered a war of words.
There is no way to settle out of court, just do it if you start the stance! The respective lawyer groups are gearing up, eager to roll up their sleeves and go straight to battle shirtless.
While Silicon Valley was being swept up by two internet companies, the owners were already on their way to London.
"I hope Dave won't blame me, and you'll have a lot less time to get together in the future." Chen Bo said apologetically.
"It's always difficult to balance career and family, especially women after giving birth, which also causes a scarcity of female executives in various companies." Since Shirley has made this choice, she has fully considered everything she will face.
"The workforce base in Silicon Valley also determines the superstructure, and there are relatively few women in the industry itself, and most of them are non-technical support positions. Coupled with the cost of the family, this is also the case, and it is true that women need to be equal, but they need to change their way of thinking first. β
Chen Bo doesn't want this feminist executive to engage in extreme form consciousness in the company, do your job well, and use yourself to influence the people around you, so this should be a preventive shot.
Shirley's visit to London this time not only improved the financing plan formulated by Chen Bo before, but also made it more in line with the expectations of investment banks. At the same time, her appearance also made the investment banks deeply satisfied, and she solved all the financial problems that she couldn't sort out.
Therefore, the financing meeting will also become much smoother, and under Jacob's mediation, after a few days of discussions, an agreement was reached with 23 investment banks. They will pay up to 19.8 billion euros for Ant Technology's acquisition.
Looking at the letter of guarantee issued by the bank, Chen Bo's confidence was even stronger, this is real money. Now that everything is ready, what are you waiting for? After informing France Telecom in advance, dozens of people drove to the romantic capital of Paris.
Not only the Ant acquisition team led by Shirley and the company's in-house counsel, but also Rothschild's financial advisors, the auditors of the Big Four, and representatives of investment banks, the lineup is quite large.
London is quite close to Paris, and Heathrow is only 510 kilometres from Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Of course, if you are really idle, you can take the Eurostar through the undersea tunnel in the English Channel, which can be reached in two and a half hours, but if you don't book your ticket in advance...... The second-class seat also costs $249, which is 2,000 oceans smaller, which is quite high.
Of course, Chen Bo would not choose to sit on the Eurostar for the sake of freshness, and it is not like an undersea corridor, where you can see the ocean landscape, and it is not pitch black. With that kung fu, there was already a flight back and forth between the two cities, and there was still a surplus.
Such a large group of people is quite eye-catching at the airport, of course, they will choose to take the business VIP channel, Chen Bo caught a glimpse of a familiar figure while waiting for the other attachΓ©s to pick up their luggage.
A dark blue skirt wrapped around a bumpy figure, and a crisp white gauze hat was draped over her head, and she walked on the marble floor, accompanied by two or three people. She also noticed the large crowd and turned her head to smile.
Chen Bo waved his hand and walked two steps quickly to her, "The earth is really small, meet again!" β
"You said last time that we would meet each other by fate." The sun shone through the glass curtain wall on Haya's face, making her smile even brighter.
"Yes, that's fate." Chen Bo smiled back, "My daughter likes the little pony you gave me very much, and named it Angel, and now I don't even care about it as a godfather." β
"I didn't expect you to eat a horse's vinegar." Haya covered her mouth and laughed teasingly, "Horses can grow up with her, but you don't have that much time and energy. β
"Well, that's right. If you have the opportunity, I will definitely invite you to dinner to express my gratitude. β
"The opportunity is that I'm in Paris these days, I'm afraid you won't be available."
"I don't have time for others, but I can definitely find time with old friends, which hotel do you stay in? I'll be in touch when the time comes. β
"Four Seasons Hotel George V."
"Looks like I've even saved money on phone bills."
After the two looked at each other, they smiled heartily, it was really a special fate.
A familiar melody has risen in my heart, "The words are broken, the wind and rain are repeated, it seems that the old man has come to ......"
