Chapter 1176 Buyers Become Sellers?
Xiao Qi didn't expect Cowell to ask so bluntly.
With a slight smile, he replied: "Because I think you can make more money than them, and the rest of Greater China is much more advanced than China in terms of copyright protection, advertising awareness, and lifestyle." THEREFORE, THE FOUR MAJOR PORTALS IN THE MAINLAND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE MONEY IN THREE YEARS, BUT WITH YOUR YAHOO NETWORK, YOU WILL DEFINITELY MAKE MONEY IN TWO YEARS, AND IT IS CERTAIN THAT YOU WILL EARN $1 BILLION IN FIVE YEARS. ”
"A billion dollars?" Cowell smiled wryly, "You really think of us!" Except for all expenses, it's a blessing to be able to smooth out expenses! WE ARE ALSO ONLY THINKING ABOUT THE NEW DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENTIRE YAHOO WEBSITE. ”
The boy was not fooled by his pretense of pity, and shrugged, "Then so be it." Mr. Cowell, you go back and talk to Mr. Yang, just say that this is what I mean, if you want to get what you want, then do what I say, otherwise this business will not be negotiated. ”
Looking at Xiao Qi with a look of "I'm not short of money", if it weren't for his territory now, Cowell would be eager to slap him.
But he still didn't dare.
Not to mention that there are few fights in the business field, let's just say that with Xiao Qi's current status, if Cowell really dares to beat him, it will be an international event, and the consequences are definitely not something Cowell can imagine.
Cowell unconsciously put Evan? Williams this micro. The owner of the Bo patent scolded bloody: Damn, you can only pay $2 million a year. Bo's interests in Greater China (all Chinese related) have been sold, and now we have to spend a lot of money to buy it back, and you really deserve to make a lot of money!
As everyone knows, now Evan doesn't regret it very much, and waited until the use of micro. When the total number of Beau exceeds 500 million, he will regret that he wants to hit the wall.
"So. Mr. Xiao, is there nothing that can make you change your mind? COWELL HELD BACK HIS ANGER AND SAID WORD BY WORD, "CAN YAHOO BE EXCHANGED FOR SOMETHING ELSE?" ”
"Yes!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi nodded directly and said, "I AM INTERESTED IN MANY THINGS IN YAHOO'S HANDS, SUCH AS THE SHARES OF ALIBABA GROUP IN YOUR HANDS." How about I pay $10 billion? I'm all golden! If you say yes, micro. Bo's Greater China business is 50 million a year's royalties. ”
Cowell was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but feel a little dry.
In August 2005, two years ago at this time, Yahoo bought a 40 percent stake in the then-growing Alibaba Group for $1 billion and Huaguo Yahoo.
At the end of the year, Alibaba Group's B2B Alibaba Inc. will be listed on the Hang Seng IPO in Hong Kong, with an estimated financing scale of about 12 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Of course. Alibaba Group's assets go far beyond Alibaba's HK$12 billion, and it also has two powerful tools in its hands, Taobao and Zifubao - one is EBAY and the other is PayPal, both of which prove that they can be hugely successful, and Ma Yun, a Chinese Internet business genius, will also ensure their success.
WHEN I SAW THAT TAOBAO.COM HAD BEEN PLAYING EBAY IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, ALMOST ALL YAHOO EXECUTIVES HAD STRONG HOPES FOR ALIBABA GROUP. But no matter how optimistic they are, they will not think of it. My investment of $1 billion two years ago plus a restricted website ownership can now increase in price to the point of seven or eight times in one go!
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao, you're kidding." Cowell picked up his coffee again and drank it slowly.
Xiao Qi didn't hesitate, and said with a smile: "I don't like to tell jokes when talking about business. Mr. Cowell, you can go back and speak to the management and board of directors of YAHOO. I, Xiao Qi, am willing to buy 40% of the shares of Alibaba Group that you own at the cost of $10 billion in cash, and I can sign a contract at any time. ”
Hearing Xiao Qi's solemn offer again, Cowell was dumbfounded and swallowed again.
Xiao Qi saw that his hands were shaking. Apparently frightened by Xiao Qi's offer.
YAHOO'S MARKET CAPITALIZATION IS NOW ABOUT $30 BILLION, AND IN THE FACE OF GOOGLE'S STEP-BY-STEP PRESSING, IT HAS BEEN LOSING GROUND ONE BY ONE, AND THE FORMER CEO SEMEL WAS OUSTED BECAUSE OF THIS - OF COURSE, MICROSOFT'S ACQUISITION OLIVE BRANCH THROWN OUT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR WAS REJECTED BY HIM, WHICH IS ALSO THE FOCUS OF CRITICISM BY MANY SHAREHOLDERS.
If they can really sell 40% of Alibaba's shares for $10 billion, there is no doubt that for Yang Zhiyuan, who only returned to the CEO position a few months ago, it will definitely be a very beautiful comeback debut, and at least a haode explanation to the majority of shareholders.
There is no doubt that Alibaba Group is certainly a gold mine, especially in the thriving market of China, which has a population of 1.5 billion people, and its potential for online commerce is enough to make anyone's heart flutter.
However, no one can see whether this gold mine is rich or poor, and there are too many Internet companies that have been born and died over the years, and no one can predict the future.
In the case of Cowell, his first instinct was to cash out!
Resolutely cash out!
Earn almost 10 times in two years, what's not to be satisfied with?
Even if Xiao Qi can earn another 10 times in the future, it is not uncommon, you know, the risk he takes will be ten times that of YAHOO!
What if Alibaba goes out of business two or three years later?
TOO MANY COMPANIES ARE BETTER THAN THEY ARE, AND THE COMPOSITION OF THIS ONLINE COMMERCE IS SO SIMPLE THAT IT'S EASY TO IMITATE - IF THE FOUNDERS HAD A HUGE ADVANTAGE, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE FACT THAT GOOGLE BEAT YAHOO TO THE GROUND?
Pity.
COWELL IS NOT YANG ZHIYUAN, HE HAS NO WAY TO DECIDE THE IMPORTANT DECISIONS OF YAHOO'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND THE MANAGEMENT STILL LISTENS TO YANG ZHIYUAN.
But!
Don't miss this opportunity!
COWELL MADE A DECISION IN HIS HEART THAT HE SHOULD COMMUNICATE WITH MR. YANG AFTER HE WENT BACK, AND IT WAS OBVIOUS HOW GOOD THE SALE OF $10 BILLION OF OVERSEAS ASSETS WOULD HAVE ON YAHOO AFTER CEO SEMEL REJECTED MICROSOFT'S REQUEST FOR CAPITAL INJECTION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
The decision-makers of YAHOO, who have been questioned and scolded, need such an opportunity to prove their ability to benefit shareholders and themselves!
Before he knew it, Cowell's mind was completely unfocused. Bo's business in the Greater China region is in mind.
The cash acquisition of 10 billion US dollars, close to 10 times the ultra-high profit, has already made him surging! (To be continued......)
PS: Sorry, sorry, I forgot the time to check the information. I just watched the news of IPHONE6, if Apple really dares to make a separate display screen on the side, then I will convince them, it is indeed imaginative, and dare to do it! It seems that the odd few mobile phones have to work hard to climb over this mountain!
