Chapter 1946 Baby
Feng Yiping lowered his head, so that's what happened! Whitman's seemingly abnormal behavior today made sense.
But when he raised his head, his face didn't show a look of sudden enlightenment, but the kind of look of, how could you like our most precious baby, how could you like our most precious baby, how dare you like our most precious baby?
He was very angry, he was in pain.
"So you also like Skype!"
"No, Feng, listen to me, in fact, we have long believed that Skype is a good product, definitely far ahead of Microsoft, Yahoo, TOM, News Corporation, and Google," Whitman said hurriedly.
She was a little regretful. Since Skype had been considered for a long time, and since Feng Yiping would have to pass the test sooner or later, why didn't she do it earlier?
So many companies, most of which are well-known and powerful companies, have clearly expressed interest in Skype, including Google, of which Feng Yiping is also a major shareholder.
As for the other companies, Microsoft is not to be mentioned. He has visited Gates' lakeside mansion several times, and recently accepted Gates as a shareholder of Tesla, which was founded by Gates.
What's more, it is Microsoft.
No matter how proud she is of her eBay, she also knows that the gap between eBay and Microsoft, whether in terms of strength or influence, is not an ordinary gap, at least there are several gaps between them.
And Yahoo, although it is slightly declining, it still has its power and is still the world's largest Internet company, because it can be said that it has pioneered the entire Internet era, so in the minds of many users, it is still a great company.
And this Feng has a very good relationship with Jerry. Although he rejected Yahoo's proposal for cooperation a few days ago, his relationship with Yahoo has always been very good.
Including the rumor that Jerry once proposed to let him serve as Yahoo's CEO, which sounds ridiculous, but it is undoubtedly a brilliant idea when you think about it carefully, it is also a strong evidence.
Otherwise, why was there Jerry in the visiting group he invited last year, but not himself?
As for TOM, considering that it is a Chinese-controlled company, Feng Yiping will probably treat them differently.
And News Corporation, which not only has well-known newspapers in various countries around the world, but also has so many TV stations around the world. Who dares to underestimate such strength?
I haven't heard that Feng Yiping has had any dealings with the top executives of News Corporation, but at least, he and the Murdoch family must not have had any conflicts before.
And I have had few conflicts with this guy, oh no, with Feng, before? It's not the first time I've been unhappy with him, and it's not the first time I've seen him that I've tried every means to make trouble for him.
Otherwise, why would she be so good-tempered to Feng Yiping today?
Oh, considering the Chinese wife that old guy Murdoch just married.
Considering the new wife who can see through everyone everywhere, and is obviously pursuing money, but packaging it as pursuing love, with her shameless energy and social skills, if she were to find Feng Yiping first, there might be no suspense about who Feng Yiping would support.
In this way, maybe I should be more polite to this guy? Whitman glanced at Feng Yiping, who seemed to be showing uncontrollable anger.
"Everyone, they all have such a good plan," Feng Yiping said in a deep voice.
Whitman noticed that his feet scratched the ground, as if he wanted to kick something.
Because the log trail by the lake was too clean, he couldn't do it, so he clenched his hands into fists.
Whitman could understand Feng Yiping's mood. I was optimistic about a product first, so I invested heavily at the beginning. Now that it has finally become a big hit, you all rushed over one by one.
So she was a little embarrassed for a while.
But in a blink of an eye, she raised her head, what should I be embarrassed about? Why should I be embarrassed?
Since everyone agreed that the acquisition of Skype would have a huge bonus for eBay, it was enough to guarantee this. Do I need to be embarrassed about other things?
"Feng, I believe you also understand that among all the companies interested in Skype, our eBay is undoubtedly its best destination..."
"I believe you and your colleagues understand very well that Skype is the best tool for eBay," Feng Yiping, who still looked a little angry, interrupted her without hesitation.
How is my expression? Is it consistent with the previous emotions? Is it too exaggerated?
Taking advantage of his anger, he looked at Whitman coldly.
Well, judging from her performance, his performance was at least qualified.
"You guys are really calculating," Feng Yiping stood there with his hands on his waist, shaking his head and sneering.
It seems that he was really angry.
But Whitman was so happy to see his performance.
Although she didn't like Feng Yiping, it didn't mean that he had any doubts about Feng Yiping's vision.
On the contrary, she was also very optimistic about Feng Yiping's vision. Speaking of which, this was one of the reasons why she was so determined to propose that the company acquire Skype.
She saw that Feng Yiping opened his mouth to take a sip of the still cool wind, his chest rose and fell sharply a few times, and then he said, "Although eBay is now the world's number one e-commerce company, it is also facing the challenges faced by other e-commerce companies. There is no pressure. If you want to achieve growth on the existing basis, you must seek changes. Am I right?”
"Yes, you're right," Whitman replied subconsciously.
What Feng Yiping said is completely true.
But how can this be, "No, some...,"
Feng Yiping interrupted her, "Strengthening the connection between online customers is the company's future strategic direction. Am I wrong?"
"So you are thinking about integrating Skype into the existing business. After success, eBay will not only allow individual buyers and sellers to reduce friction in the buying and selling process, but also enable corporate merchants on the website to allow customers to discuss sales issues they are concerned about. Feel free to ask a service agent, right?”
"Skype's communication function will greatly enhance the integrity between buyers and sellers. In the process of driving the conversion of browsers into shoppers, this method is much more useful than any advertisement, right?"
“In this sense, the combination of Skype and e-commerce will represent the future model of e-commerce, right?”…
Faced with Feng Yiping's loud and series of rhetorical questions, Whitman was stunned.
At this moment, she understood very clearly how powerful Feng Yiping was.
What he said can be said to be eBay's overall consideration on the need to acquire Skype.
And that was the conclusion that eBay finally reached after a long period of thinking.
Feng Yiping personally has already seen it very clearly.
This ability, this vision!
"Yes," Whitman also put his hands on his hips and entered strongman mode.
I will not be deterred by your anger that you may have such thoughts.
"You are right. When we acquire Skype, we are indeed acquiring a new business model. Therefore, if the acquisition fails, we will develop a product with the same function ourselves,"
She also turned her face to the side, hum, you are not happy that we are willing to acquire it? Yes, then we do it ourselves.
"Hahaha," Feng Yiping sneered several times. He pointed at Whitman and said, "You can try developing one now and see how many users you can gather in the end."
Whitman's face twitched.
It's not that they haven't analyzed this possibility, but the guys in the company shook their heads and couldn't do it!
Otherwise, why would Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo be interested in acquiring it?
They did analyze one of the main reasons why Skype developed so quickly. In addition to irritating Whitman when he heard it, and thinking of "free" that failed in the Chinese market, the most important reason is that Skype somehow found a good time.
An excellent startup does not just have an excellent team and excellent products. Many times, you also need a big trend.
When Skype launched, a large number of users began to get broadband connections, which just made Internet phone services feasible, and soon after, photo sharing also flourished.
This is the main reason why Skype created the myth.
And this trend has obviously disappeared long ago.
"Haha," she laughed dryly. It was not a good thing to meet an opponent who knew everything. "You are right,"
I knew you were covering up.
Feng Yiping glanced at her again, "What else do you think? Did I invest in Skype because I had more money?"
"That's right," Whitman said with a smile, "it is precisely because of this possibility that it cannot be copied that we will seriously consider acquiring Skype."
Her voice softened, "I believe that if Feng has thought about this issue so thoroughly, he must have had such an idea before investing in Skype." After saying this, she couldn't help but glance at Feng Yiping.
What a keen eye he must have!
Whitman now feels a little regretful. She really shouldn't have had trouble with him because of the Chinese market. It would be a very happy thing to make a friend with such a good vision.
She immediately had a very big opinion on Google, why can you have such an outstanding strategy director.
And Steve Jobs, he was truly an old fox with vicious eyes. He hired this young man as a special consultant so early.
I hope this merger will be successful.
Through this merger and acquisition, we can somewhat improve and further strengthen our relationship with this young man.
If Feng Yiping knew what Whitman was thinking at this time, he would definitely be happy.
Since she thinks so, there is naturally more room for negotiation on the purchase price.
"Since you know what I think, you can also understand how important Skype is to my e-commerce business. Why should I let such a precious product go?"
"Don't mention money to me. Do you think I still lack the benefits that the acquisition may bring?"
