Chapter 1176 Buyers Become Sellers?

Xiao Qi didn't expect Cowell to ask such a straightforward question.

With a slight smile, he replied: "Because I think you can make more money than them. Other places in Greater China are much more advanced than mainland China in terms of copyright protection, advertising awareness, and lifestyle. So the four inland Big portals may not be able to make money in three years, but with your yhoo network, they will definitely make money in two years, and it is certain to make $1 billion in five years."

"1 billion dollars?" Cowell smiled wryly, "You really think highly of us! Excluding all expenses, it would be a blessing to be able to even out the expenses! We are only considering the new development of the entire yhoo website."

The young man would not be fooled by his pity, shrugged and said: "Then be it. Mr. Cowell, you go back and talk to Mr. Yang, just tell me that this is what I mean. I want what you want. Yes, then do as I say, otherwise this business cannot be negotiated."

Looking at Xiao Qi's expression of "I'm not short of money", if it weren't for being on his territory now, Cowell would have liked to slap him.

But he still didn't dare.

Not to mention that fights rarely happen in the business world, but with Xiao Qi's status today, if Cowell really dared to hit him, it would be an international event, and the consequences would definitely not be Cowell can imagine.

Cowell unknowingly scolded Evan Williams, the microblog patent owner, bloody: Damn, you only spent 2 million US dollars a year to spend the rights and interests of Weibo in Greater China (all Chinese related) It was sold, and now we have to spend a lot of money to buy it back. You deserve it because you can't make a lot of money!

As everyone knows, Evan doesn't regret it very much now. He will regret it until the total number of people using Weibo in Greater China exceeds 500 million. [

"So. Mr. Xiao, is there no condition that can make you change your mind?". Cowell held back his anger, and said word by word, "Can yhoo be exchanged for anything else?".

"Yes, I have!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi nodded directly and said: "I am interested in many things in yhoo's hands, such as the shares of Alibaba Group in your hands. How about I offer 10 billion U.S. dollars? I am all in cash." ! If you agree, Weibo’s Greater China business will be 50 million a year’s royalties.”

Cowell was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help feeling a little dry.

In August 2005, that is, at this time two years ago, Yahoo bought 40% of the then developing Alibaba Group at the cost of US$1 billion and Huaguo Yahoo.

Immediately at the end of the year, Alibaba Group's b2b Alibaba Company will be listed on the Hang Seng Stock Exchange in Hong Kong, and the financing scale is estimated to be around 12 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Of course. Alibaba Group's assets are far more than Alibaba's 12 billion Hong Kong dollars. It also has Taobao and Zifubao, two development-limited weapons-one is eby and the other is pypl. Both of them have proved that they can obtain Huge success, and Ma Yun, the Internet business genius in Huaguo, will also guarantee their success.

After seeing how Taobao.com beat eby to the ground in the past two years, almost all Yahoo executives held strong hopes for Alibaba Group. But no matter how optimistic they are, they will never think of it. My investment of 1 billion US dollars two years ago plus an investment that has been restricted in the ownership of the website can now increase the price to seven or eight times in one go!

"Hehe, Mr. Xiao, you are joking." Cowell picked up the coffee again and sipped it slowly.

Xiao Qi didn't hesitate either, and said with a smile: "I don't like to tell jokes when discussing business. Mr. Cowell, you can go back and give a message to the management and board of directors of yhoo. I, Xiao Qi, are willing to give 10 billion US dollars For the price of cash, buy 40% of the shares of Alibaba Group that you own, and you 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. Obviously frightened by Xiao Qi's offer.

Now the market value of yhoo is about 30 billion U.S. dollars, and in the face of google's pressure, it has been retreating steadily. The former eo Semel was dismissed because of this-of course, the acquisition olive branch offered by Microsoft at the beginning of the year was rejected by him. It is also the focus of criticism by many shareholders.

If it is true that they can sell 40% of Alibaba's shares for 10 billion US dollars, there is no doubt that for Yang Zhiyuan, who returned to the eo position only a few months ago, it will definitely be a very beautiful comeback debut. Shareholders a good explanation.

Undoubtedly, Alibaba Group is definitely a gold mine, especially in the thriving market of Huaguo, which has a population of 1.5 billion. The development potential of its online commerce is enough to make anyone tempted. [

But whether this gold mine is a rich mine or a poor mine, no one can see clearly. Over the years, there have been too many Internet companies that have been born great and died poorly. No one can predict the future.

In the case of Cowell, his first instinct was to cash out!

Resolutely cash out!

Earning almost 10 times in two years, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

Even if Xiao Qi can earn 10 times more in the future, it is not uncommon, you know, the risk he takes will be ten times that of yhoo!

What if Alibaba goes bankrupt in two or three years?

Too many companies are more powerful than them, and the composition of this kind of online business is very simple, and it is very easy to imitate-if the founders have great advantages, how do you explain the fact that Google beat yhoo to the ground?

pity.

Cowell is not Yang Zhiyuan, he has no way to decide important decisions of the board of directors of yhoo, the management still listens to Yang Zhiyuan.

but!

Don't pass up this opportunity!

Cowell made a decision in his mind, he should communicate with Mr. Yang after he went back, how much positive impact would the sale of 10 billion US dollars of overseas assets have on yhoo after eo Semel rejected Microsoft's capital injection request at the beginning of the year, This is simply the obvious thing.

The decision-makers of yhoo, who have been questioned and scolded, need such an opportunity to prove their ability and make profits for shareholders and themselves!

Unknowingly, Cowell's mind has completely given up on Weibo's business in the Greater China region.

The cash purchase of 10 billion US dollars and the ultra-high profit of nearly 10 times have already made him feel excited! (to be continued...)

ps: Sorry, sorry, I forgot the time when I checked the information. I just read the news about phone6. If Apple really dares to make the side as a separate display screen, then I will convince them. It is indeed imaginative and dare to do it! It seems that the rare mobile phone must work hard to climb this mountain!
