Chapter 2023: All the Cards Revealed

"Hey, hey," Feng Yiping held the faces of his son and daughter, who were still looking at the sea lions, and kissed them hard.

The two little ones, who were not sure why, gave their father a perfunctory kiss on the face, and then started fighting to name the sea lion that was still sleeping calmly.

"Xiao Hei,"

Such a simple and down-to-earth name was naturally Amanda's idea.

"Sea Lion Warrior 1,"

Such a masculine and rigorous name was Vincent's idea.

"Sleeping baby," "Whitebeard,"...

The two boys took turns talking to each other.

To be honest, through this incident, Feng Yiping felt that he had greatly underestimated the children's vocabulary.

Judging from their performance today, let alone other things, they may not be able to inherit the title of "well-known best-selling" author.

If this comfortable sea lion heard the name they gave it, it would definitely not be in the mood to sleep in, or it would make a loud noise and splash water all over them.

"If you two can come up with a good name, I will buy an island and raise our own sea lions," Feng Yiping said angrily.

Who knew that the two little guys immediately asked in unison, "Can we raise him at home?"

This is a bit of an idea, but it really stumped Feng Yiping. Should I leave this thing at home? Also, I heard that there is a whale show here in San Diego. What if they like it too?

Is it possible to imitate Bill Gates and build a huge aquarium at home?

"You see, sea lions like to live on rocks by the sea. Our home is not by the sea."

"Oh," the two children pouted, looking quite unhappy.

This also reminds Feng Yiping that when he goes to the zoo or aquarium in the future, he must not talk nonsense, otherwise, his home will definitely become an animal world, plus a marine world.

Wu Qian smiled and leaned over, "Congratulations, boss,"

Seeing Feng Yiping like this, she naturally knew that this was a good thing, and it was definitely not an ordinary good thing.

"Haha, we are both happy and happy together, you guessed it, right?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Could it be PayPal?" Wu Qian said.

As expected, she is quite qualified as an assistant.

"It's PayPal! Whitman just informed me that the PayPal board of directors welcomes me to join,"

If it were anything else, Feng Yiping wouldn't be so happy, but this is PayPal.

He actually doesn't know how PayPal will develop in the future, but looking at the market value, it is not a dream for PayPal to surpass eBay in the future.

Besides, when it comes to PayPal, there are references. As long as you think about the subsequent development of Alipay, you will understand the prospects of this product.

More importantly, PayPal is not only the largest and dominant payment tool in the United States, it also has many customers all over the world, currently in more than 100 countries, which is its road to internationalization. , relatively smooth.

But what about Alipay? If you want to enter other countries, especially Western developed countries, it will be extremely difficult.

In other words, it can be said that PayPal's current foundation, coupled with Feng Yiping's forward-looking vision, will definitely develop better than Alipay - in fact, this is also the case. Ant Financial, with Alipay as the main body, has a valuation of more than 600 100 million US dollars, PayPal's market value had reached more than 95 billion US dollars, close to 100 billion US dollars (by the way, eBay's market value at that time was only more than 39 billion US dollars,).

What's more worth mentioning is that this condition was just a condition he made in a pretentious manner when Man Tingfang met Whitman.

One step was to increase Whitman's estimation of how difficult it would be for him to acquire Skype, and thus consciously raise the terms of his offer.

Although the more I thought about it later, I felt that if this request really came true, it would be a beautiful thing anyway.

But just because it was a good thing, he really didn't have much hope.

Facts told him that the more beautiful things are, the greater the hope and the greater the disappointment.

He believes that judging from the current trends, not to mention Whitman, both eBay and PayPal's boards of directors will have a good understanding of PayPal's development trends. How can one person be allowed to share the cake?

But now, this tempting big cake has been placed in front of him, and the knife and plate are ready. You can cut it if you want to eat it...

Such a beautiful thing is definitely worth his happiness for a while.

Wu Qian's knowledge of PayPal is actually quite good, so she also thinks that eBay and Whitman are so easy to talk to?

"Yiping, do you think there is a possibility that although they agreed to our request to invest in PayPal, will they only give us a symbolic share?" She asked a question.

This is indeed a critical question.

"It is indeed possible," Feng Yiping nodded, "It depends on how much they look forward to Skype. If they feel that Skype is indispensable to their development, then they can't just give it to us like a joke. A little share is better than nothing,”

"Now that they have agreed to our investment in PayPal, does this mean that Skype is indispensable to them?" Wu Qian analyzed.

"That's it," Feng Yiping nodded, "so we don't have to worry about the investment share. The final result will definitely not disappoint us,"

"Besides, as long as this door is opened for us, who can say what the future development will be like?"

"Haha, I believe that you have such ability, boss," Wu Qian laughed.

"There may be another key reason why they agreed to our investment in PayPal. Our current business can bring great help to the development of PayPal," Feng Yiping said.

"Oh, you are right, it is NEXTDOOR, which can bring them a lot of new customers," Wu Qian nodded.

"So, this share is even more reasonable, what do you think?"

"Indeed, I think we can at least strive for the top ten positions among institutional investors, and it would be best if we can have a seat on the board of directors of PayPal,"

"That's natural," Feng Yiping nodded.

But in fact, he thinks the main reason is the board of directors of PayPal. Although it can be seen that the future development of PayPal will not be wrong, no one should be able to foresee how good it will be.

Otherwise, how could they agree to Feng Yiping's request?

This is Feng Yiping's biggest advantage.

He roughly knew how bad a product could be, or how good it could be.

He suddenly wanted to see Whitman's face now, and she must not be too happy.

But don't worry, your unhappy days are still to come.

…………

Whitman was really not happy at this time.

When Feng Yiping took a break from his busy schedule and traveled to San Diego with his two children and a group of beauties, she was very tormented.

She saw the news that Feng Yiping visited Murdoch's house, and she also saw the courtesy of the Murdoch family to Feng Yiping.

She also knew that Fox was discussing cooperation with Marvel and Netflix, and the cooperation included major events such as film distribution and minor matters such as peripheral product licensing.

She put herself in Feng Yiping's shoes and thought that if she were Feng Yiping, under such circumstances, if she had to choose between eBay and News Corporation, she would undoubtedly choose the latter.

So, her last trump card, she originally thought that this condition, which might whet Feng Yiping's appetite, would have more advantages the later it was proposed.

But now it seems that if you still want to delay, it is very likely that you can't play this trump card.

However, after telling Feng Yiping this decision, Whitman, who put down the phone, felt a little disappointed.

She knew it very well. In this way, it was undoubtedly a clear statement of her attitude.

I have already played all my trump cards.

This will lead to two situations that may seem more difficult: they will be passive in the negotiations to acquire Skype; they will be passive in the negotiations for Feng Yiping's investment in PayPal.

Both passive, no matter which one, are definitely not good news for her.

In order not to end up in a very ugly way, Whitman even felt that it seemed to depend on Feng Yiping's character.

However, at least in front of her, he is not a guy with a particularly good character.

Whitman was happy and worried.

She was happy that she thought that since she had met Feng Yiping's requirements, Feng Yiping should give her corresponding support in the acquisition of Skype.

She was worried that Feng Yiping might still be dissatisfied with her conditions.

She shook her head and decided not to waste time on this issue. She opened her laptop and started to deal with other work.

At this point, there is nothing to worry about. It depends on what Feng Yiping's attitude will be in the next two negotiations!
