Chapter 2614 Three Consecutive Shocks
They were silent because it was a question that did not require an answer.
For today's Twitter, if Feng Yiping is pushed to the opposite side, it is really asking for trouble.
They do have the problem of unclear strategic positioning, and that is mainly because whether they focus on the dissemination of information, that is, on the media, or on social networking, it seems that there will be good results.
As for these two directions, they have not yet designed a very efficient business plan, but this makes it even more difficult for them to choose, because who knows which direction will create higher benefits in the future?
The reason why they have not designed a clear business plan is actually related to their extravagant expectations. They really hope to organically integrate these two directions so that these two directions can promote each other and achieve each other. .
Under such a general premise, push the social tycoon Feng Yiping to the opposite side?
And this is why they took the initiative to find Facebook twice. After all, Feng Yiping's Facebook, NEXTDOOR, and YouTube have been very successful in social networking.
Cooperating with his company will naturally drive Twitter’s social development.
Or, even if Feng Yiping's companies only import traffic to them simply and crudely? That could also lead to rapid growth in Twitter’s user base.
"You think too much," Williams said. "Whether Feng Yiping is on the opposite side of us is not mainly due to our decisions today, but due to the nature of our products."
"The nature of our products was actually determined from the beginning, and we stand on the opposite side of it,"
Stone retorted, "But do you think the pressure on us will be the same between colleagues who still maintain good relationships on the surface and colleagues who completely break up with each other?"
"How long do you think it will take for them to do better than us in the same field based on their strength?"
"Yes, it's possible that they will do better than us, but I believe by that time, we should also have made great progress," Williams said.
When he said this, he even snorted.
Although the direction was unclear, the three of them all knew who he was targeting.
In Williams' view, if Twitter is still led by the unreliable Dorsey, it may not necessarily have rapid development.
"Then, wouldn't our development be more secure by cooperating with Feng?" Stone added, "Don't talk about Google, which has developed the fastest in the Internet field in recent years, just talk about the companies he acquired."
"You see, Coin Star, which was originally stagnant in development, has now become a cross-industry platform,"
"In the past, Netflix only helped others sell content, but now it creates its own content, and it is also well received,"
"And Marvel, which was on the verge of bankruptcy..."
"Okay Stone," Dorsey interrupted, "then do you think it would be a better choice for us to proactively return to the negotiating table and agree to sell our company for $200 million?"
"So, don't dwell on this problem anymore, okay?"
Stone also became excited, "But who can be sure that Feng will not raise the price? Who can guarantee that Feng's final offer will not be close to the US$500 million we originally set?"
Having said this, he couldn't help but point the finger at Williams, "If we hadn't quoted the price casually, how could Feng only offer $200 million?"
"Are you sure that Feng will definitely agree to our $500 million offer?" Williams slammed the car door. "If you can guarantee it, I completely agree to go back now,"
"But can the current situation be the same? The US$800 million you casually quoted has inevitably angered Feng,"
"Besides, who of you can be sure that this investor who takes the initiative to find us will definitely offer a higher price than Feng?"
"Wouldn't he be like other investors who only focus on short-term benefits and just want us to IPO as soon as possible?"
"Okay, okay, quiet, quiet," Dorsey said, holding up the ringing cell phone, "Feng's phone,"
This was very useful, and Stone and Williams, who were arguing, immediately fell silent.
Dorsey did not press the button immediately, "Would you like to answer?" he asked.
"Can you not answer it?" Williams immediately said something back to him quickly.
You are in the car of Feng Yiping's company. Next, you will take the special plane arranged by him. Even if you don't answer this call, if he wants to find you, he can't find you?
Dorsey didn't have time to argue with Williams at this time, otherwise, he would have to scold him a few more times. I mean, should I answer it or not? What should I say after accepting it?
After his face-to-face confrontation with Feng Yiping yesterday, he had a very intuitive understanding of Feng Yiping: Look at the problem, it's accurate! Do things ruthlessly!
It is not easy to deal with such people.
Not to mention, their current actions are exactly what Stone said, pushing Feng Yiping into the opposite direction.
Moreover, as guests, their behavior of leaving without saying goodbye, almost escaping, was a bit embarrassing when facing the host.
"Turn on speakerphone," Stone said.
"Hello Von," Dorsey said enthusiastically.
"Haha, I'm sorry Dorsey, I can't see you off when you leave," Feng Yiping's words were as enthusiastic and happy as ever.
"We left too hastily," Dorsey said. "When you return to Silicon Valley, we will definitely visit you again."
"Haha, yes, we will have many opportunities to meet and deal with each other in the future," Feng Yiping said.
Stone looked at Dorsey and asked with his eyes, "Do you think Feng has other meanings in his words?"
"What he calls dealing with is it possible that he is talking about some actions against us?"
How else can Dorsey answer?
If he were Feng Yiping, what would he think at this time and what would he do in the future? Wouldn't he have any idea in his mind?
"Well, I wish you a smooth journey," Feng Yiping had already started to say goodbye.
"Thank you Feng," Dorsey said immediately.
He felt relieved at this moment, huh, it's over.
But this is not the end.
"Oh, by the way," Feng Yiping said again, as if he remembered something at the last minute, and said it very casually.
But Dorsey's heart was immediately lifted, and I knew it would not be so easy.
Stone looked at his phone intently, and Williams in the back row also pricked up his ears. What else would he say?
Think about Feng Yiping's performance at the negotiation table yesterday... Tsk, when he was not his partner, he was simply a pressure generator.
At this time, in front of their actions, it is not incomprehensible that Feng Yiping said a few more words to make them feel ashamed.
Williams also thought that even if Feng Yiping said something like "the plane had a temporary mechanical failure" at this time, it was not impossible.
Because in the same situation, he believed that he could do such a thing.
It was just a phone call and a few words, but Feng Yiping on the other end of the phone brought huge pressure to the people in the car.
He did not expect this.
Because Dorsey and others soon heard what Feng Yiping was going to say, "When you see Mr. Masayoshi Son, please say hello to him on my behalf,"
What/the/f...
Dorsey's hand trembled, and he almost couldn't hold the phone.
Stone and Williams were both stunned. How could he... know this?
Williams couldn't help looking at Dorsey at this time. Did you leak it to him?
Just at this time, Dorsey also turned his head and looked over. Looking at the meaning in his eyes, it was obviously the same as Williams.
Then, it shouldn't be that one of the three of them informed Feng Yiping of the news.
This is even more surprising. He guessed it so quickly? Or did he check it?
Thinking of this, Williams wanted to punch Dorsey on the back. If he was just guessing when he spoke, then your reaction clearly proved that his guess was correct.
So he forced Dorsey with his eyes, speak up, why don’t you speak?
Dorsey obviously realized this possibility at this time and was about to speak, but found that his throat was very dry, "Feng..."
"Are you surprised?" Feng Yiping smiled, "There is nothing to be surprised about,"
"Although I don’t pay as much attention to him as Mr. Sun pays attention to me, I know him very well,"
What he said was very intriguing.
"Mr. Sun is indeed a very successful investor. Just look at Yahoo and you will know, right? So, I sincerely hope that you can have a good talk with him,"
"In addition, can I give you a little advice?"
"Of course, Feng," Dorsey said immediately, and then felt something was wrong and added, "I mean, thank you,"
Well, it’s still wrong.
Feng Yiping's words and his attitude at this time really made people feel uneasy.
"If possible, it's better not to ask for 800 million or 1 billion casually," Feng Yiping said.
Williams' face immediately turned liver-colored.
"Then goodbye, I wish you all the best," just when Dorsey and others thought that Feng Yiping had something else to say, Feng Yiping actually hung up the phone.
And it was extremely straightforward.
