"Yes, that's the truth!"

Yang Zhiyuan nodded and said, "That's right! Then, Mr. Lu, please give me a price."

At this time, Yang Zhiyuan felt refreshed and high-spirited.

However, Lu Yiming's next words made Yang Zhiyuan break his guard.

Lu Yiming said: "What do you think of US$33.75 billion?"

"How many?!"

At this moment, Yang Zhiyuan felt that any half-brothers or honest people doing business with idols were just clouds! They were all rubbish!

Richest man Lu, richest man Lu, your damn heart is really dark.

Yang Zhiyuan is already regretting what he said just now.

Why do fellow villagers burst into tears when they see fellow villagers? You are obviously going to shoot someone when they meet a fellow villager.

A few months ago, Sergey Brin and Larry Page's offer was only $5 billion, which was to sell the entire Google package to Yahoo.

At that time, Yang Zhiyuan felt that the price was too much, but now facing Lu Yiming, he knew what it meant to be too much.

For US$33.75 billion, I could buy Google seven times regardless of the price!

Various thoughts were swirling in his mind, and Yang Zhiyuan's tone became unfriendly: "Mr. Lu, if I remember correctly, the total number of Google shares in your hands is less than 8%.

"

However, Lu Yiming looked sincere and said plausibly: "Yes, Google's psychological value to me is at least US$1.5 trillion. If I give you a 30% discount, Mr. Yang, US$33.75 billion is very fair, right? Don't worry.

, I’m very good at math, so I made absolutely no mistakes.”

Yang Zhiyuan's face turned dark on the spot.

$1.5 trillion?

Is this U.S. dollar TMD issued by Tiandi Bank?

There is no such big inflation in the underworld.

Seeing Yang Zhiyuan's gloomy expression, Lu Yiming also looked innocent: "Mr. Yang, I really didn't kid you. Google is indeed worth the price. How about we talk about something else?"

Yang Zhiyuan knew that it was impossible for him to buy Google shares from Lu Yiming.

33.75 billion US dollars, he couldn’t even counter-offer this offer!

There is no doubt that in his opinion, Lu Yiming had no intention of selling the Google shares in his hands, so he raised the price randomly.

With a market capitalization of US$1.5 trillion, even the lunatics on Wall Street don’t believe it!

The plan to buy Google fell through. Yang Zhiyuan was also not interested in what Lu Yiming wanted to talk about next. He leaned on the sofa and said feebly: "Mr. Lu, what else are you going to talk to me about?"

Lu Yiming did not say it directly, but asked with a smile: "Mr. Yang, I wonder if Yahoo is interested in entering the Xiaguo mainland market now?"

Entering the Xia Kingdom mainland market?

Yang Zhiyuan suddenly became alert.

There is indeed a plan in this area within the company, and it also involves Yahoo's core strategic direction. Only a few senior executives within the company know about it. How could Lu Yiming, an outsider, get wind of it so quickly?

Yang Zhiyuan's first thought was: Is there a traitor in the company?

It's no wonder he thinks so. After all, shopping malls are like battlefields, and methods such as intervening, penetrating, and creating dissension are common among large companies.

Seeing this, Lu Yiming smiled even more meaningfully: "Mr. Yang, facing the pressure of Google, there are actually not many choices in front of Yahoo now. And I think, Mr. Yang, you will definitely want to copy what you have done in island countries and

Is it right for Taiwan’s success to boost Yahoo’s stock price?”

Yang Zhiyuan has a strong gambler's mentality and is not the kind of person who can calm down and do things well.

What he likes is to be "quick, accurate and ruthless" and use financing to strengthen Yahoo and expand rapidly.

This kind of gameplay was not a problem in the chaotic and disorderly Internet 1.0 era. After all, everyone was a novice at that time and were not familiar with this new thing called the Internet. Of course, who was faster, who had more food, and who was bigger.

But the 2.0 era of the Internet is about to begin, and then the entire industry will have to start fighting hand to hand. The battle is no longer about who is big and has strong capital, but who has strong technology and who can better grasp the psychology of users.

At this point, Yahoo is a bit behind the times and is gradually falling behind.

It's a pity that Yang Zhiyuan is still obsessed with the glory of the past and failed to realize this.

When Yahoo landed in Xia Guo in 1999, Xia Guo's portal was only beginning to take shape, and Yahoo already had brand influence and technical strength that far exceeded that of domestic Internet giants. However, Yahoo not only failed to seize this opportunity, but instead allowed itself to be in Xia Guo.

China’s Internet industry is gradually marginalized.

In the early days, the complete "copy and paste" of English websites was the key reason why Yahoo fell behind at the starting line. Yahoo Xiaguo completely made a translated version of the English website, but the original Western content obviously could not satisfy the local needs of Xiaguo netizens.

The demand is so great that in the field of portal websites, Yahoo has lost to several rising stars such as Zhalang and NetEase.

A similar situation does not only occur in Xiaguo. In addition to beautiful foreign global markets, Yahoo has only been relatively successful in Taiwan Province and island countries.

Yang Zhiyuan, who was belatedly aware of the situation, was trying to replicate the Taiwanese model and hoped to acquire a mainland company to boost Yahoo Xiaguo's performance.

There were two choices before him, Li Hongyan's ferry, and Zhou Hongyi's 3721.

Unfortunately, of these two companies, one is in the hands of Li Yiwen and the other is in the hands of Lu Yiming.
