Chapter 2613 Reliable Speculation

The sky was still clear, the sun was still bright, the excitement brought by the new ideas was still there, and some suggestions for specific implementation were also very pertinent, but everyone could see that Feng Yiping's eyes were a little unhappy.

After Zhou Xinyu and Xu Bin left, Jin Ling guessed the reason at once, "Is it because Twitter is not doing well?"

"Yes, they are on their way to Hong Kong now,"

After sending them to China, Google One flew to Hong Kong, because it had been in contact with and operated business aircraft for a long time, and as a world-renowned free port, it would be faster to apply for foreign routes there.

"Or, you go to Hong Kong too?" Jin Ling suggested.

Feng Yiping shook his head. Jin Ling was a little concerned and confused. It was definitely not a good idea for him to go to Hong Kong at this time.

That would only make the three people at Twitter clearly feel his attention, which of course would not be conducive to the development of subsequent work.

Such things are roughly similar to some love affairs, who takes the initiative and who is passive.

Twitter has taken the initiative, so they are a little passive now.

Twitter took the initiative only when it had to, and Feng Yiping has not reached the point of having to do so yet.

But the problem is that Dorsey's resolute proposal to return to Silicon Valley at this time does not sound like a move made to take the initiative.

Although he did not say the reason, Feng Yiping felt that they should have had a good choice in terms of financing.

Or, most likely there are investors who have contacted them, and the conditions offered by them will be better than the conditions he offered.

In Feng Yiping's mind, venture capital and funds are flashing quickly at this time. Who among them is the one who is disrupting the situation?

In Silicon Valley and the investment community, Facebook's intentions towards Twitter are no secret. Mergers and acquisitions have always been the favorite thing to do in the American business and financial circles.

Therefore, after Twitter gradually gained some influence, many analysts have pointed out that Facebook is undoubtedly its most likely buyer.

After Twitter's business conditions became increasingly pessimistic, such calls have become even louder.

Feng Yiping believes that even if he does not take action, after a period of time, financial institutions may come to them to sell such a plan.

Whether it was Zuckerberg's contact with Dorsey and Stone a few days ago, or the three of them coming to China on Google One, it was obviously impossible to hide it from everyone, and there were too many channels for leaks.

One company after another flashed through his mind, and was quickly ruled out by him.

He was sure that in the current environment, Twitter was not only in a slump, but also had no clear business model, so there would not be many institutions and individuals who might invest in Twitter.

However, Williams was right. At present, in the investment community, Feng Yiping's optimism often proved the value of the company he favored.

Therefore, it is not ruled out that some unexpected guys will jump out and prepare to intercept.

"If the merger fails, will it have a great negative impact on Facebook's operations?" Jin Ling asked again.

Feng Yiping still shook his head, but this time he spoke, "That won't happen,"

After Twitter set a limit of 140 characters, it did attract a lot of new users, and the large amount of news they provided was once an advantage.

But now Facebook has made great progress in news. Considering the user base, technology, and funding of both parties, Feng Yiping believes that it will not take long for Facebook to do better than Twitter in the field where Twitter is best.

Twitter will not affect the development of Facebook because he thinks Facebook is very popular and he doesn't even know the founder of Twitter.

Although he didn't have the opportunity to use these two softwares, it is precisely because of this that Facebook and Zuckerberg are still so well-known in China, which is enough to explain the situation of the two.

Otherwise, he would not know the specific situation of Twitter.

Another reason for him to say this is that he has the most accurate grasp of the future direction of social software.

Hum, in the future, will the upper limit of 140 characters be useful?

When mobile phones are more and more easily connected to the Internet and the traffic costs are getting lower and lower, what about 410 characters?

What's more, for future social software, text? That's not the point at all!

Therefore, even if Twitter cannot be acquired, it will not affect the development of Facebook. "This is just about the return on investment," he said. "If Twitter can be acquired, it should bring us tens of billions of dollars in returns."

Jin Ling nodded, "I see,"

The big plan of tens of billions of dollars in returns may fail, no wonder Feng Yiping is so unhappy.

"You told me that first of all, we should not take some projects that are bound to have variables as our own too early, which may make us lose our way,"

"Secondly, now we should think carefully about what actions we should take to effectively realize our intentions,"

Feng Yiping pulled her hand, "You are right, let's go back to Guangzhou,"

He hopes to hear the relevant reports from the employees responsible for receiving Dorsey and others in person.

At this time, even if they notice some clues, it will be very helpful for his analysis.

…………

They just arrived at the Holiday Inn in Yangcheng. Old Ma, who must have received the news, also hurried over. "They really have no intention to negotiate further. Isn't that right?"

After hearing such news, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

Because he clearly knew the reason why Feng Yiping asked him to contact such matters, and he had personally demonstrated it.

He thought that his statement was still quite contagious, but now it seems that it is completely ineffective?

"At least it sounds like that," Feng Yiping hurriedly walked in.

Suddenly, he braked suddenly and stopped, attracting the attention of many people.

Old Ma, who was stared at by him, was even more unnatural, "What's wrong? Is there anything on my face?"

"Nothing," Feng Yiping shook his head, "It's just that after seeing you, I immediately thought of another person."

Seeing me, but immediately thinking of another person, how can such words sound a little awkward?

"Who do you think of?" Old Ma asked.

He could only roughly guess that the person Feng Yiping thought of should be a man.

Otherwise, it would be too hurtful.

Jin Ling asked, "What did you think of? You guessed who might invest in Twitter, right?"

"I have such a guess. Let's check it out and we should be able to confirm it soon," Feng Yiping swept away his previous depression and smiled again.

However, he seemed a little absent-minded in the subsequent communication with Jin Ling and Lao Ma, which obviously showed that he did know who the guy who messed up the situation was and was thinking about relevant countermeasures.

…………

Dorsey and his friends had passed the customs at this time and were on the way to the airport in the car provided by Hong Kong Jiasheng Holiday Hotel.

It seems that Dorsey and Williams are not as tense as yesterday, and there are no obvious signs of fighting on their faces, but they are obviously still very unharmonious.

Dorsey and Stone sat in the front row, Dorsey sat on the left, and Williams, who sat in the back row, sat on the right.

Throughout the whole process, their sights were always one to the left and the other to the right, and their heads never deviated from the center line, as if even if the corner of their eyes swept across each other, it would make them feel disgusted.

Stone also looked a little worried.

These three people, whether seen separately or individually, did not look like they were in a hurry to go back and negotiate with investors who offered good conditions as Feng Yiping had guessed.

It seemed that something major had happened to Twitter, or something similar to the three of them being kicked out, so they were in a hurry to go back and try to turn the situation around.

When the seaside airport appeared in front of them, Stone broke the silence.

He looked at the silent and polite driver in front of him, thinking about the warm and thoughtful arrangements made by Feng Yiping's company in the past two days, and the special plane that was ready to depart, and asked softly, "Is it really okay for us to do this?"

Williams immediately replied coldly, "Why do we still need to discuss this issue? Do you think it is better for us to accept his insincere conditions?"

After his words completely dissipated in the air, Dorsey said, "In business, it is of course very correct for us to do this,"

"I mean, if we deal with it this way, will it... push Feng to the opposite side of us?"

"Have you ever thought about what consequences that would bring?"

Both Williams and Dorsey fell silent...
