Chapter 2039 Disagree

"Boss," "Boss," Feng Yiping's car just arrived downstairs, and many assistants working on the first floor came out at the same time. A large number of men and women talked and laughed excitedly, and crowded Feng Yiping into the office.

Feng Yiping's most considerate assistant, Miss Wu Qian, the former school beauty of SISU, was squeezed to the outside all alone.

This once again gave her a very intuitive understanding of Americans' deep-seated worship of success, or the worship of money.

Of course, today’s news is indeed very exciting.

More than a year ago, I invested US$8 million in Skype, accounting for Bay's offer. This 9% stake is already worth up to US$360 million!

A full 45 times return! 45 times!

Especially according to what everyone has just pieced together, this investment was made possible by Zenstrom, the founder of Skype.

This is equivalent to saying that it is a high return delivered to your door.

Wu Qian remembered the mantra that some financial experts often said on domestic TV, "If you don't manage your finances, your finances will ignore you."

Now it seems that it is still quite a general level. For Feng Yiping, there are various opportunities to make money. To put it bluntly, opportunities to make money come to Feng Yiping.

However, she admired Feng Yiping's vision even more.

She couldn't help but understand the situation in the United States. There were indeed too many opportunities to approach Feng Yiping in China.

Restructuring state-owned enterprises in various places will not only give many people the opportunity to soar in strength, but also the financial fields such as bonds, stocks, and futures will give people the opportunity to get rich instantly, including prime locations in first-tier cities, as long as they can Once you get it, just leave it for a few years and it will surely bring you several times the return.

For example, he often hears about various scarce mineral resources, such as coal mines where a lot of people can’t find investment opportunities despite carrying boxes of cash, and coal mines with proven reserves of hundreds of millions of tons. At the beginning, I was too lazy to continue listening...

He did not hesitate to reject too many great opportunities. In Wu Qian's opinion, ordinary people like herself could transform themselves once and reach the pinnacle of life in one step.

But once he took action, it was so extraordinary.

Incredible.

Wu Qian looked at Feng Yiping, who was excitedly surrounded by the male and female assistants whose eyes were full of enthusiasm, and the idea came to her mind again. She really wanted to see the structure of his brain.

"I say, be quiet, be quiet," Feng Yiping waved his hands vigorously, "As my assistants, you must learn to get used to this situation and learn from Wu. Look, how calm she is,"

Looking at her colleagues who came over, Wu Qian smiled lightly, but who said I was calm?

"Please, it's just a return of dozens of times. Think about it, which of our current projects will have a future return that won't be higher or bigger than this?"

"So, you must be calm. Don't do anything like this today again in the future. I don't want some people to take this as a joke,"

He is still relatively friendly to these assistants. Although it is impossible for those who remain now to have Wu Qian's authority, they will undoubtedly be his important helpers in handling various affairs in the future.

"Besides, are you too happy too soon? The acquisition agreement hasn't been signed yet, right?"

"Boss, we believe in you and will definitely let them all follow your baton," several people said happily.

Although Feng Yiping is right, the future returns of various companies in the park will undoubtedly be quite amazing, but those are not intuitive enough.

And these assistants, who are mainly Americans, also have American characteristics, that is, except for financial majors, most of them are not very good at calculating accounts.

You have to tell them that to start the Facebook project, the initial investment is US$50 million, and then additional US$100 million, US$80 million, US$300 million..., plus various management expenses, labor costs..., if it goes public The market capitalization is US$100 billion. If you ask them to calculate the return, they will definitely be confused. How should this be calculated? Or, can anyone figure it out?

It’s still this simple. In less than two years, US$8 million turned into US$360 million, which is exactly 45 times!

"Well, I appreciate your confidence in me. So, when this goal is achieved, I will invite you all to have a feast at Mantingfang. Now, everyone goes back to work,"

"Yeah, thank you boss!"

…………

"Gee, a 45-fold return in such a short period of time! Do you think Buffett will be jealous when he sees such data?"

When Wu Qian was about to follow him upstairs, she heard many people talking uncontrollably.

"Please, is this kind of investment fundamentally different from Buffett's investment?" Some people point out the difference between the two investments. This is venture capital, while Buffett is mainly engaged in securities investment.

The words of a male assistant made Wu Qian blush, "45 times? How did you calculate it?"

"Have you forgotten the incentive conditions of the Skype board of directors? If the price is US$4 billion, the boss will also receive an additional 5% of the total sale price, which is US$200 million, and the boss's 9% will still be based on US$4 billion. Calculation of total price,”

"What does this add up to? $560 million! How many times is this a return? 70 times, okay!"

This must be a finance major. Wu Qian glanced at him. Well, I am a foreign language major and a girl. It is understandable that I did not calculate this account.

However, 70 times! Oh my god!

…………

Feng Yiping had just arrived at the office and had not opened the email when Cummins came up to him. "Feng, congratulations!"

"No, you know better than anyone. It's too early. Tell me, what is the bet?

"eBay's conditions are very simple. Their total offer is exactly 4 billion US dollars. However, they divided the 4 billion into two installments. The first installment of 2.5 billion US dollars will be credited after the agreement is reached."

"For the remaining 1.5 billion US dollars, they require that if Skype makes a profit within two years from the date of signing the acquisition agreement, they will pay the full amount of 1.5 billion US dollars."

"Well," Feng Yiping nodded, "that is, if Skype fails to make a profit after two years, the 1.5 billion US dollars will be gone."

"They initially said this "I have an opinion," said Cummins.

"Tell them that we don't accept any bets," Feng Yiping said affirmatively.

"Feng, I have three opinions. First, the acquisition price of $4 billion can still be raised,"

"Second, the amount of the first and second payments can also be negotiated. I am confident that the amount of the first payment can be negotiated to at least $3 billion,"

"Third, the bet should be a condition they will not give up,"

Speaking of which, Cummins really didn't expect that he had just completed the $2 billion acquisition of Marvel and would immediately have the opportunity to preside over the $4 billion acquisition of Skype.

For him, this is the rhythm of moving step by step towards the peak of his life and the goal of becoming the top professional manager in the United States.

While he admired Feng Yiping's vision and was happy for him, he also cherished such an opportunity.

It would be a pity if eBay withdrew because of his own toughness.

Although there are still a few companies that have expressed great interest in Skype, Cummins feels that it may be difficult for them to offer better conditions than eBay.

Especially after eBay may withdraw.

"I agree with your first point, but my decision will not change. For this merger, we will not accept any agreement that contains gambling conditions,"

His words did not let Feng Yiping think for even a second, "Just relay my original words to the other party,"

Cummins was stunned for a moment, "Feng, or, you and Whitman first..., OK, I'll go now,"

Looking at Feng Yiping, who was bathed in the sun and looked particularly young, stood up and said calmly.

In any case, it was definitely not a good idea for Feng Yiping to call Whitman at this time.

If she took the initiative to call her, it would mean that she was quite tempted by the conditions they offered. In this way, she would definitely be passive in the subsequent negotiations.

Moreover, if eBay received Feng's opinion, I believe Whitman would call the boss soon.

The most important thing is that in such an aspect where the boss decides to make his own decision, he should have complete confidence in him.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for your news," Feng Yiping said.

The news came soon. Ten minutes later, he received a call from Whitman, "Feng, do you disagree with our conditions?"
