Chapter 2181 YAHOO Changes Hands Again!

Xiao Qi never thought that Paul Allen was such a cheerful person.

After thinking about it for more than a day, Paul Allen personally called Xiao Qi and agreed to the price offered by Xiao Qi.

In addition to the 3.8 billion US dollars in cash he proposed and the sale of all AMC shares to Xiao Qi at a price of 1 US dollar, he also transferred a 300-acre ranch near Wellington, New Zealand to Xiao Qi at a low price of 2 million US dollars. Xiao Qi; at a price of 300 million US dollars, transferred 18% of the shares of Cameron Pace Group to Xiao Qi.

If the ranch is converted into Huaguo's unit of measurement, it is 1,800 mu, which is very large.

In his previous life, Xiao Qi saw an introduction about this ranch on the Internet. There is actually a small mountain, a river, and a small lake inside. Not to mention its buildings, the scenery alone is very beautiful.

It's not surprising. Paul Allen is a person who likes to enjoy himself. How could the ranch he bought be bad?

The $2 million is just a friendly price, and this ranch is worth at least $5 million.

The ranch employs more than 100 people on weekdays, and manages the up and down of the ranch, including raising dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, etc., which will be sold, which can be regarded as a balance of expenses.

As for the shares of Cameron Pace Group Company, 18% is a little low, but Xiao Qi does not intend to control the entire company. Cameron and his good friend Pace have gone through hard research and development and promotion. When the harvest season comes, it is absolutely impossible to transfer the company's shares to others.

What Xiao Qi wants is the display of 3D technology in cinemas, so that the kiwi fruit theater chain of the queen sister can develop even stronger. As the third largest shareholder of Cameron Pace Group, it is very convenient to get the latest and best 3D technology.

Once 3D technology and IMAX technology are combined, it will be invincible in the world!

Same as IMAX Corporation, Xiao Qi transferred the shares of AMC Theaters and Cameron Pace Group to Xiao Qiao Investment Fund after changing hands. Only when these things are integrated together can they be powerful. Qiao Guoer owns this The two key technologies will make a lot of money in theaters in the next few decades.

It's not that Xiao Qi loves the Queen's sister very much. She gave her assets of more than 2 billion US dollars in one breath, but the opportunity came. Then don't miss out.

In the future, if there are properties suitable for other wives, Xiao Qi will not hesitate to buy them for them.

In fact, Paul Allen and Xiao Qi were acquaintances. When he bought the island in the Maldives, Ellison went to buy it with rich Americans, and Paul Allen was among them.

However, he and Xiao Qi had no business connection, so he found a more suitable middleman—Bloomberg. In this way, even if there are any differences between the two parties, they can be successfully matched through an intermediary.

It now appears that Paul? Allen's strategy is clearly successful.

Of course Xiao Qi didn't suffer a loss, not only did he successfully sell YAHOO, he also got a lot of things he needed, it can be said that everyone is happy.

As soon as the delivery procedures here were completed, Paul Allen immediately arrived in Seattle and held a grand press conference.

In the venue with more than 200 reporters present, Paul? Allen announced in high spirits. He will return to Microsoft's board of directors in the near future, and he has brought an "undeniable gift" to Microsoft, which is under his active operation. Microsoft will buy YAHOO wholly from Xiao Qi at an ultra-low price of 6 billion US dollars.

The reporters were in an uproar.

Although YAHOO is already a declining giant. But as a model of the American dream and a symbol of the Internet age, it still carries the memory of many Americans.

Besides, YAHOO is not completely ruined now. Even though many assets have been divested by Xiao Qi, it still has many users, many branches and patented technologies, especially in terms of online search and online advertising. Google's GOOGLE is much worse, but it is definitely the second in the world.

What Microsoft lacks is efforts in online search and advertising. As well as the many network-related patents in the hands of YAHOO, they are all in short supply for Microsoft, which was previously engaged in software services.

Otherwise, why Microsoft was willing to pay such a high price of 44.6 billion US dollars last year. What about the acquisition of YAHOO?

Well now, Paul Allen bought YAHOO at such an extremely low price of 6 billion US dollars as soon as he made a move, which is really a beautiful deal!

Under the integration of YAHOO and Microsoft, in the case of mutual benefit, it is a great shock to think about it.

In the future, Google must be careful, its position as the number one overlord will definitely be challenged a lot!

Buying a company from Xiao Qi is not cheap, nor is it easy to buy.

Some of the companies that Xiao Qi sold before were all sold at jaw-dropping high prices, and they were called extremely greedy businessmen.

Some time ago, there were people who wanted to buy YAHOO, and offered prices of 5 billion, 6 billion, or 7 billion, but Xiao Qi never agreed.

It is said that his psychological price is 8 billion US dollars.

Although this price is a bit high, with the overall recovery of the US stock market, YAHOO's valuation has also continued to rise. In a few months, I am afraid that it will exceed 8 billion.

Under such circumstances, Paul Allen's ability to win at a low price of 6 billion US dollars not only fully demonstrated his negotiating skills, but also proved that he and Xiao Qi had a very good personal relationship.

If you want to talk about things like personal relationships, whether it works or not, the key is to see who the two parties involved are.

For example, if one of the parties is Xiao Qi, then this kind of personal relationship is very useful.

You see, when Xiao Qi sold shares in Dream Pad, APP STORE, and Dream Stars three times, didn’t they all sell to his friends?

Establish a good relationship with Xiao Qi, then the next time Fairy Company sells its shares, especially the shares of APP STORE, can't Microsoft also fight for it?

Once you have APP STORE, an online application store that has been rated as "influencing the future of smart electronics for 50 years", then Microsoft will definitely have a competitiveness that cannot be underestimated in the smart electronics industry.

Over the past few years, with the rise of network electronics, especially mobile smartphones and smart tablets, the personal PC market that Microsoft has clung to has gradually entered a stage of stagnation. It is absolutely impossible for future development to advance by leaps and bounds like in the 1990s and 2000s.

I want to find a new business with growth potential and find the breaking point of future profits. It is imperative for Microsoft to enter the field of intelligent electronics.

And Paul Allen relied on such a clever skill, not only successfully returned to the decision-making level of Microsoft's board of directors, but also gained a lot of power. In the future development of Microsoft, he will definitely get more benefits.

Not to mention anything else, Paul Allen will be able to get a lot of equity incentives every year in the future. There are no less than hundreds of millions of stock income every year, and there will be no less Ballmer and Bill children's shoes.

Even in the acquisition of YAHOO this time, Paul Allen did not sell to Microsoft at a loss, as Xiao Qi thought, to brag about his negotiating ability.

Instead, he sold an extra 200 million US dollars, making a small profit.

It can be seen that Paul Allen still values ​​money very much, and with his intelligence and wide contacts, this guy can really make a fortune!

Xiao Qi doesn't care whether Paul Allen makes money or not. In itself, this is the two sides... No, including Microsoft and YAHOO, the four parties are beneficial. It is completely unnecessary to care about who gets more.

Such a grand press conference. If you want to come to Microsoft, you are also fully prepared.

Before the press conference was over, Microsoft's stock rose by 2.5%. After the whole day of stock market trading, Microsoft even had its best single-day market in the past six months, with an increase of 3.2%.

GOOGLE is very angry about this.

After all, in the US market, GOOGLE and Microsoft are absolute competitors, which even Apple can't match.

The Apple in the previous life was born after the artifacts such as IPOD, IPHONE, IPAD, and IMAC were all born, and a complete industrial chain was completed. Only then will they ride the dust and leave GOOGLE and Microsoft behind.

Just Apple now. They haven't yet shown such a strong aura and arrogance. Of course, it's also because Xiao Qi directly snatched their IPAD. Dream Stars is no worse than the iPhone. Whether Apple can be as popular as it was in the previous life is still unknown.

Of course, Apple's confidence is still there, their R&D personnel are still strong, and Joe's boss is much healthier than in his previous life, so Apple's future development will definitely be better than other American companies.

Back to the topic.

GOOGLE had already asked Xiao Qi about the price of YAHOO, but it didn't take long for GOOGLE to start a lawsuit with Fairy Company, which completely blocked Xiao Qi's way to sell YAHOO to them.

I don't know if Paige thinks of this, will she regret finding fault with Xiao Qi?

In fact, for Xiao Qi, supporting a powerful enough Microsoft to directly compete with the rising GOOGLE is definitely a brilliant move.

Because GOOGLE's Android system is a free card, but don't forget that the ancestor of the free card is Microsoft's WINDOWS, which opens interfaces for all software, so that all software can be made based on WINDOWS Apple beat the shit out of it, and accomplished the great cause of a generation of overlords!

It's just that WINDOWS runs on a computer platform, and Android runs on a mobile phone.

But with the springboards of HTC G1 and Surface, the ambition of WINDOWS to develop on mobile phones will definitely expand.

Both systems are free, and they have to snatch customers in the free field and share the number of customers with each other. This is a great thing for Xiao Qi and the APP STORE alliance! (to be continued ~^~)
