Chapter 1232 The Consequences Are Serious

Good morning, Seattle.

Holding a cup of Starbucks coffee, Merbuck walked into the company headquarters briskly, nodding to his colleagues in a very casual manner.

Seeing him like this, everyone knew that the results of his business trip must be good.

Indeed, Merbuck's trip to the UK just ended very smoothly.

All conditions are ripe, including the market's popularity and the company's sufficient capital reserves. If nothing unexpected happens, after the British company's team is strengthened, this effective new model in North America can be replicated in the heart of Europe in the second quarter of this year.

Sitting at the table refreshed and reading the latest report, he couldn't help but whistled happily.

After being acquired, everything is really good, and it's not just a little good, but a big good.

From the data, the stagnant company finally showed double-digit growth in monthly revenue, just like when it was just established.

In terms of influence, although Coin Star is relatively small in scale, it is already a well-known company in the industry, because most well-known domestic companies have cooperated with it, either in the installation of exchange machines or in the coin exchange card business.

From the perspective of future development, it is even better.

Feng's move has transformed Coin Star from a relatively closed company into an open platform. The result of the exemption of coin exchange fees has enabled the company's users to achieve sustained and stable growth.

It can be foreseen that as long as the world does not eventually eliminate physical currency, the company's development will always be good. At present, there is still a long way to go before the final elimination of physical currency. He is very sure that he will not see this scene in his lifetime.

It doesn't matter if he sees it. Feng's move has naturally expanded the company's business scope. Although it is now only involved in the rental and sales of DVDs in China, who says that the company will not sell other suitable projects next, or that it must only recycle coins?

From his personal point of view, the current situation is also very optimistic.

For him, nothing could make him happier than seeing the company that made him famous and entered the ranks of the rich regain its vitality.

For someone like him who values ​​feelings and is not only and no longer needs to care about personal gains, there is nothing more sad and helpless than watching the company he founded slowly fall into a half-dead situation.

Feng Yiping quickly reversed this situation.

Although the company has changed hands in terms of legal ownership, he is still the person in charge of the company he founded. Just like the promise before the acquisition, Feng does not ask about the daily operation of the company at all. Of course, he does not have the time and energy to ask.

Although the company has changed hands in terms of legal ownership, from the results, he has gained more freedom than before.

Because now the company's board of directors does not have as many constraints as before the acquisition. In the past, he needed to get the support of several directors to take any measures. Now, as long as Feng supports it, it will be fine, and he supports his own measures without hesitation.

Unlike the original directors, he may pay more attention to short-term gains, or stubbornly pursue the balance between short-term and long-term gains. Like himself, he does not hesitate to pay attention to long-term gains.

Finally, from the perspective of personal gains, there has also been a great change compared to the past.

My shareholding in the company remains unchanged, but Coin Star has quickly become a company with a market value of 1 billion US dollars from a company with a market value of less than 500 million US dollars.

This is not his personal blind optimism, but all stock review agencies are so optimistic, and the company's various data support his optimism. The most intuitive is that the slowly but firmly rising stock price supports his optimism.

In other words, as long as the current growth trend is maintained, it won't take long for his net worth to double easily.

Although he no longer has to worry about money and doesn't have to work for money, who would complain about money?

Oh, by the way, his annual salary has also increased by 15% compared to before the merger.

In short, there is only one word, "good!" two words, "very good!" three words...

However, for a company leader like him, the thing that is more fleeting than time is good mood.

Before ten o'clock in the morning, the operations director hurried over to tell him, "Merbach, eBay just notified us that from today, all our cooperation will be cancelled."

Merbach couldn't help but frown. He completely accepted Feng Yiping's idea and believed that e-commerce is the biggest market in the future, so the company pays special attention to cooperation with e-commerce companies like eBay. Everything was fine, why cancel it?

Similarly, the cancellation of cooperation with the company by a well-known company like eBay will inevitably bring some negative effects.

"What's the reason?"

"The letter has not mentioned why, we are investigating from the side,"

"What about the breach of contract liability brought about by this?"

"I am also surprised by this, they are willing to bear it,"

How could it be so strange?

This is naturally the way the eBay queen expresses her emotions. She disdains to use such a gentle but weak way of passing the message through an intermediary.

She just wanted to tell Feng Yiping clearly that I was very unhappy with your actions. Since you made me unhappy, I will definitely make you unhappy accordingly.

As for the six-digit breach of contract loss and the possible reduction in revenue due to not participating in the coin exchange card, what does it mean to a company like eBay with an annual revenue of billions of dollars?

…………

Feng Yiping, who had just returned to SH, learned the news at the first time. Well, he didn't expect that Coin Star would be the one who was caught in the crossfire.

However, he was a little confused, because from the results, the impact on Coin Star was not great. He believed that Amazon and Yahoo would be very happy to fill the share left by eBay's withdrawal.

The public relations agency of Coin Star should also be able to eliminate the adverse effects of this incident effortlessly.

"Sure enough, she is a domineering and generous woman. She spent such a price just to express her dissatisfaction. Hey, you can't become like this in the future," he read it and put the document aside.

In his headquarters building, he finally had a big office, and because the first Jiasheng Holiday Hotel in SH was located on the 20th floor above the 41st floor of the building, according to the old rules, he had another floor of luxury suites on the top of this 200-meter-high building.

In Jin Ling's words, he didn't even need to go downstairs to run now, he could just run around his house a few times.

Feng Yiping thought her suggestion was really good. Since the smog here is not a problem now, he has decided to install a trail and a tennis court on the roof.

There is also a rooftop swimming pool. Although he is not keen on swimming, considering the possible eye-catching effect, he decided to spend such a sum of money.

Of course, there is also greening.

The new plan is being designed. As for the approval, is it still a problem given the relationship between Jiasheng and the local government?

"Can you not be so careless?" Jin Ling glared at him helplessly. After staying at home for a few days and returning to the company, he has been so relaxed, but how could this be so simple?

"That's eBay, how could she just let it go?"

"So what about eBay? Does she still want to play big company chauvinism in front of me?"

Feng Yiping still rested his hands behind his head leisurely. As the big chair swayed up and down, the rare winter sun shone on him, warm and comfortable, and he almost moaned.

"However, this is really a case of not judging a person by his appearance, and not measuring the sea. There are so many companies in Silicon Valley, but Lao Ma has an indissoluble bond with these companies led by women, and they love and hate each other, and they are entangled endlessly,"

Jin Ling couldn't accept his literary statement in particular. She saw the entanglement, the killing, and even the involvement of others. She also experienced it now, but where is the love?

Love, of course, there is, but only Feng Yiping knows about this matter at present.

As we all know, the company that had the most serious quarrels with Ma later was another Silicon Valley company, Yahoo. At that time, Chief Jerry Yang had retired helplessly, and he was replaced by another well-known Silicon Valley Iron Lady, Carol Bartz.

Under the leadership of the tough Bartz, because of share repurchases and Alipay, Alibaba and Yahoo, which had been close to each other before, were on the verge of a fight and had a lot of fun.

So, from a moral and result point of view, Ma was indeed not manly enough. There were so many big companies in Silicon Valley headed by men, but he only picked those headed by women to deal with.

"What are you talking about? I think this is definitely just the first step. If we don't respond positively, there will definitely be follow-up measures, and those measures will definitely not be as gentle as this time."

Although I know that he must have a plan in mind, seeing her like this, Jin Ling was a little angry.

"There will be some follow-up measures," Feng Yiping said slowly and nonchalantly, "As for a positive response, I think there will be none,"

"Do I have to cry and shout and throw myself at his feet, crying, 'Your Majesty, I was wrong!'"

He glanced at Jin Ling, "It would be better if I changed someone else,"

Jin Ling felt that his glance was so powerful that she could no longer complain and couldn't help but smile.

This smile was like the thawing of ice and the spring breeze, and it was really gentle like water.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me, and you will be responsible for other happy things. You will be responsible for the reception at the General Logistics Department,"

The General Logistics Department has done a relatively solid job in material procurement. It has purchased multiple batches of lithium batteries from Jiasheng. After several months of inspection, investigation, and measurement, it finally notified the company a few days ago that they will officially purchase lithium batteries from Jiasheng.

The day after tomorrow, the working group still led by Colonel Wei Zheng will formally sign a relevant agreement with Jiasheng and agree on relevant matters.

The production of military products, whether in terms of supply or performance, will naturally be different from civilian products, so this signing also involves many issues.

"Okay," Jin Ling stood up and then mentioned another thing, "Such a big thing, why didn't your classmate come along this time? She is a great hero,"

"Such a thing is nothing to her, and besides, my classmates are all **, no way!"

The key is, you specifically told me this, what do you mean?

"I don't care. Just don't think too much about some people. Also, I'm giving you a kind reminder. If you can owe this kind of favor as little as possible in the future, I'll owe you as little as possible."

Jin Ling walked out of the office with a smile, but why did Feng Yiping think her laughter was evil?

…………

Marcy, spokesperson for Coin Star in Seattle, responded to questions from the Wall Street Journal in her office, “The suspension of the partnership between Coin Star and eBay is eBay’s wish. Although we do not understand their decision, we respect it. ,"

“What we want to state is that during the cooperation between Coin Star and eBay, judging from various data, the results were very good,”

"Because of this, many companies, including Amazon and Yahoo, are already negotiating with us, hoping to fill this vacant share,"

"So, the suspension of this cooperation has absolutely no impact on our company. We are a very professional company, and eBay is also a very professional company. This is just a normal business decision. We hope the media will not make it." Too much interpretation,”

These words are naturally Feng Yiping’s response to eBay.

This time, the relevant departments of eBay did not fail in their duties. Whitman also learned about Coin Star immediately, which can also be said to be Feng Yiping's statement.

Just as Jin Ling was worried, she immediately took corresponding actions.
