After lunch, there was not much time for Wen Ming to rest, and he still needed to take a look at the information about Li Jiacheng before the negotiations began.

Although the name of the richest man in China in this world is similar to that of another world, he is not the same person after all, and some experiences are still different.

By 2:20 p.m., the negotiators sent by Li Jiacheng had arrived at Apple's headquarters, and after being slightly received by Lilith, the negotiations began on time at 2:30.

"Mr. Wen, you can call me Carter, or you can call me by my Chinese name, Shed."

Xie De was the person in charge of the Li Jiacheng delegation this time, and after introducing himself, Wen Ming learned that this Chinese man was the professional manager of Li Jiacheng's private investment fund, and he was responsible for Li Jiacheng's capital operation of more than 3 billion US dollars.

Facebook's participation in the four-party merger and acquisition of An, the total amount of funds has reached 1 billion US dollars, even a world-class billionaire like Li Jiacheng cannot just send a lightweight subordinate to be in charge.

And after Wen Ming heard Xie De's self-introduction, his first reaction turned out to be why this person would introduce his English name first, Xie De...... If you pronounce it in Mandarin, it is very similar to an English word for swearing.

Xie De said confidently: "Mr. Wen, my boss admires your achievements very much, and he asked me to convey to him his request that he hopes to meet with you. You also know that with his current status, it can be a lot of trouble to come and see you in person. ”

Wen Ming smiled and said, "If I have the opportunity to go to Hong Kong, I will definitely visit Mr. Li Jiacheng." ”

Wen Ming only believed one-tenth of what Xie De said, Li Jiacheng could not admire himself, for a person like him who created a personal wealth of more than 30 billion US dollars from scratch, there was no one in this world who would be worthy of his admiration.

At most, it's just appreciation.

And the real intention of Xie De's words is just to show that his boss Li Jiacheng far surpasses Wen Ming in terms of social status and wealth.

Although you have some achievements, you are far from my boss, and if you want to meet my boss, you have to pay a visit. The underlying meaning is that he wants to suppress Wen Ming in the opening scene.

Hearing Wen Ming's reply, Xie De smiled politely, and he also heard Wen Ming's meaning: My business is in the United States, and Hong Kong may not have any intersection, so your boss's social status actually has little to do with me.

After some roundabout politeness, we got to the point.

Shedd continued: "With regard to the four-party merger that we are involved in, we hope that you will take another look at what Apple really wants. ”

Shedd took out a copy of the information, handed it to Lilith, and introduced: "In Facebook's historical fundraising process, Mark Zuckerberg is almost harsh on the selection of investors. He rejected investments from powerful consortia such as Sequoia Capital and SoftBank, and chose more personal financing methods. ”

Wen Ming took the information, and the content he saw was the one that Xie De was introducing.

"And my boss, in the history of Facebook's fundraising, has not participated in a lot of shares. However, my boss is now the only shareholder with the right of first refusal. ”

Hearing this, Wen Ming already understood what Xie De meant, it was nothing more than if Li Jiacheng was unwilling to accept Apple's conditions, then there would be no way to negotiate this financing. The impact is that Facebook will not be able to acquire ins for the time being.

Although Facebook can choose another investor because of Li Jiacheng's abandonment, not everyone can accept the $1 billion offer of ins, and not everyone can become a partner of Mark Zuckerberg.

At this point, Shedd said before that Mark Zuckerberg chose the subjective factor of individual investors when choosing investors, which is for the current threat.

To sum up, if Li Jiacheng withdraws, then ins will find a seller in a short period of time.

Wen Ming was completely unmoved, and even directly put aside the information that he hadn't finished reading, and asked with a smile: "Do you know how much Teresa Roy wants a stake in Facebook?" ”

According to Apple's previous claims, Theresa Roy has no way to get Facebook shares. But if Li Jiacheng gives up, then Teresa Roy can fully accept the 2.1% stake in Facebook that should have been sold to Li Jiacheng, and he only needs to pay $400 million, which is less than the $500 million that Li Jiacheng needs to pay. Because, Teresa Roy has a 10% stake in INS.

As for whether Facebook is willing to make Teresa Roy their shareholder, I believe Teresa Roy has a way to solve it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to keep chasing Wen Ming to get the shares.

Shedd smiled and said, "Of course we know that Mr. Teresa Roy is very desperate to get a stake in Facebook, and we also know that he has a way to get Facebook's approval. ”

The words changed suddenly, Shed's smile was put away, and he said: "However, Mr. Wen Ming, you should pay attention to one problem, that is, my boss is already a shareholder of Facebook, and he has the right to vote on some of Facebook's decisions. Moreover, my boss has a very good relationship with the other shareholders of Facebook. ”

Wen Ming narrowed his eyes and listened to Shed's continuation: "The reason why this product can be so favored by Facebook is entirely because it has occupied the vast majority of the market for mobile photo sharing software. However, this product doesn't have much technical content. ”

"What do you think if we continue to talk to Facebook about financing, but the money from this financing is used to invest in another Instagram-like product?"

Shedd said that by now, it was already a dagger.

"Mr. Wen Ming, do you think that with Facebook's user base, when it starts to promote a photo sharing app on the mobile phone, how much market can your ins have?"

The value of Instagram is because of the more than 30 million registered users, and close to 30 million active users. But if these users are snatched away by other software, ins will be worthless.

Wen Ming didn't smile either, but he didn't get angry either, he had expected this situation, and even when ins was just released, he thought that Facebook might also release the same type of software to seize his market, or other companies would release the same type of software to seize his market.

In fact, there is already a similar type of software on the market, but it has not yet grown because it has not been invested.

Keeping calm, Wen Ming asked: "So, Mr. Shedd, why do you think Facebook wanted to buy my Instagram in the first place, instead of developing Tong-type software, to compete with us for the market?" ”

Wen Ming's ried-back seemed a little inauthentic, because he used Mandarin pronunciation to address Shredd. What's even more shameless is that he deliberately made his Mandarin pronunciation not very standard, so that the pronunciation of the last German character is very close to the pronunciation of special characters.

However, in Wen Ming's opinion, you have directly threatened me, why can't I scold you?

Who's afraid of whom.

Anyway, I'm only 19 years old at this age, so it's a big deal to be young and frivolous!
