Chapter 1947 What I Want

As soon as he finished saying this, Feng Yiping felt that something was wrong. This was completely superfluous!

Many times, when you say you don't care about something, it will remind others that you care about it the most.

He quickly shook his hand heavily and added, "Hmph, let me give you Skype? Then why don't you give me PayPal?"

In the Chinese entertainment industry, no, it should be said that the Chinese performing arts industry, including film, television and other forms of Chinese performing arts, is an excellent colleague who has been wandering outside and seems to have no intention of returning home. Feng Yiping's impromptu performance is obviously quite powerful.

Just talking about this rescue, it is also very exciting.

It was so exciting that Whitman had no time to think about what Feng Yiping said before. She only remembered that Feng Yiping coveted her PayPal.

She opened her mouth and the words "How\ dare\ you..." slipped to her lips, but considering that she had dined here so many times, she was waiting for an opportunity like this. This time she went to Feng Yiping to improve her relationship with him, not to further deteriorate her relationship with him.

Thinking of this, she had to swallow it back and uttered a short "hmm".

The result was a little funny.

It was a bit like she was going to "let it go", but finally realized that this was in public, so she held it back.

Fortunately, Whitman was no longer young, she was already an old and quite powerful lady... Even if she really "let it go" in public, she could keep her face calm.

She was also the kind of person who stared at other people's reactions the more she made mistakes, as if it was others who were wrong, so she stared at Feng Yiping closely at this time.

She saw that Feng Yiping's nose moved slightly, and his body also moved, as if he wanted to move to the side, but in the end he still insisted on staying where he was.

This made her somewhat relieved, you still have some public morality.

Then she reacted, what should I be relieved about? I didn't do anything inappropriate at all?

What's wrong with me? Why am I always at a disadvantage in front of this kid?

She also turned her face to the side, remained silent for a while, and then turned back, her face was as warm as spring.

She said in a gentle voice, "I can fully understand your feelings, but Feng, do you think it is too wasteful to use such a product with users all over the world to serve your e-commerce business in China?"

"Because of the relevant access issues, how many users does Skype have in China?"

There are indeed not many in the mainland, and those who have are in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

"If you are really interested, this matter is not unsolvable. We will add a clause in the agreement to give you the right to use it in China, so that Skype can maximize its effectiveness. Isn't it better?"

As for PayPal mentioned by Feng Yiping, she acted as if she had never heard Feng Yiping mention this word.

That is eBay's core asset and eBay's core advantage. Let alone giving it away, even if Feng Yiping invests, she can't, and she doesn't have the right to agree.

"Humph," Feng Yiping sneered again, "Please, don't pretend that you have no idea about Skype's nearly 200 million users, okay?"

Whitman was speechless again.

Are you kidding? How could they not have any idea about Skype's nearly 200 million users, which are still growing rapidly?

This huge number of users is another reason why they value Skype.

With such a large base, if a few of them can be converted into eBay users, that would be tens of millions!

"I think that nearly half of Skype's European users are exactly what you expect to get, the best foundation for expanding business outside the North American market, right?"

Whitman found that he seemed to be unable to hide any thoughts in front of Feng Yiping.

He was right.

North America is currently the core business of eBay. If the company wants to make a significant increase in performance, wealthy Europe is naturally a key direction to work hard.

And Skype's nearly 100 million European users are indeed what they salivate.

Those users will be the best and most direct target customer group for them to expand their business to Europe.

Not only that, although China has not yet opened up to Skype, Skype still has a quarter of its users in Asia, which is also what they value.

"Yes, Feng, I don't want to hide my thoughts from you anymore," Whitman said.

This was not her giving up, but she felt that in front of Feng Yiping who seemed to know everything, she could not deny anything no matter how hard she tried, so it was better to be straightforward and single.

"What you said is exactly why we are determined to get Skype. I know you have high expectations for Skype and have many plans, but after all, your e-commerce business has not yet developed to Europe, and besides," she looked at Feng Yiping deeply again, and her eyes could not hide the envy. How come all the good things seemed to be taken by this guy.

"When your e-commerce business develops to Europe, you will have alternative means, right? Facebook's development momentum is not worse than Skype."

Even though she is not an engineer, she also knows the advantages of Facebook in communication.

Moreover, who can guarantee that Facebook will not be able to join the field of VOIP (cheap transmission of voice, fax, video, and data over IP networks) in the future?

"We don't think you need to do such extravagant backups, right?"

Whitman, who carefully observed Feng Yiping's reaction, found that his words seemed to have reached Feng Yiping's heart, because it seemed that Feng Yiping was somewhat moved.

"Luxurious backup? It seems that you are planning to go out..." At this point, he suddenly stopped again, and his face became cold again.

"I just like backup, I like double insurance, and I like to keep good things like this waiting for me. Even if I don't need them in the future, I won't be happy to give them to my competitors."

This made Whitman quite helpless.

Indeed, judging from the current situation, Feng Yiping and eBay are really rivals. He does have a solid reason not to sell Skype to eBay.

"Feng, I want to sincerely apologize to you for the unpleasantness in the past," Whitman finally showed a rare gesture.

At least at this time, the "Queen" of Silicon Valley, who had never bowed before other giants, bowed her head to the young Feng Yiping.

This is a scene she will definitely not admit in the future.

It is very possible that the reason why she chose to talk to Feng Yiping at this time was that she had made such preparations in advance. Only the two of them knew about this.

"Please also understand my somewhat extreme emotions before. After all, we invested so much money in order to develop the Chinese market, but the result..." She shook her head.

She didn't want to mention the sad and disappointing result now.

"Also please understand that this time we are determined and it is out of the desire to improve our relationship with you that I am talking to you about this in advance,"

At this point, her Silicon Valley Queen temperament returned to her.

"You are a very outstanding entrepreneur. We believe that you can handle personal emotions and work relationships well. We also believe that you will definitely respect the value of a product. We also think that from the bottom of your heart, you will hope Skype can develop better,"

"We know that you are the major shareholder of Skype. Your 10% share is indeed a lot, but compared with the whole, it is only 10% after all. And you know, we have the ability and strength to do this, including Nick. The work of all shareholders except you, including the founders,”

"At that time, what will you do? Can you stand against all other shareholders who want to cash out?"

She was very practical.

"I also have the ability and strength to get through the work of other shareholders," Feng Yiping glanced sideways at him.

"And I think you should know that as a founding shareholder, I always have a choice,"

"You should also know the impact I have on Skype and other shareholders including Nick, the founder,"

"Are you sure you can compete with me on this issue?"

At such a time, Feng Yiping naturally would not let his attitude soften.

Whitman was stunned again.

Even the first version of Skype was tested on NEXTDOOR. As everyone knows, Feng Yiping has a good vision. How could Feng Yiping's influence on Skype be so small?

They even speculated that if Feng Yiping said that he would suffer a loss if he sold the company, most of Skype's shareholders would definitely believe him.

Therefore, convincing Feng Yiping and doing the work of communicating with Feng Yiping is their top priority in acquiring Skype.

"I believe, Feng, you will be able to figure this out in the end. There is no need to stand against us just because you are just investing in a product that you already have a product that can replace it. Think about it carefully. Goodbye," A voice came from behind, "As for my proposal to invest in PayPal, I suggest you think about it carefully."
